Looking at the empty trap in front of him, Chen Ming had become accustomed to it and felt nothing in his heart.
But today, perhaps because of Xu Manman's good luck, when he reached the last trap, there was a pheasant with a broken leg inside.
Chen Ming thought for a moment while holding the pheasant, then turned to Xu Manman and said, "Manman, I'll clean this chicken and bring it back to you."
Although I really wanted to make chicken soup for my cousin, it was inconvenient to cook meat dishes at the educated youth camp. The place was too small and everyone would know about any little movement. It was better to have less trouble than more, so I just let Xu Manman take it back and cook it myself.
Xu Manman didn't agree, "Why bring it back? Just do it."
"...Okay, let's go back and make it." My cousin wants to eat now, so let's eat! I'm not afraid of them.
"Why go back? Find a place to clean up and I'll make you beggar's chicken." Looking at the situation at the educated youth camp, it was obvious that it was inconvenient. Xu Manman herself knew that eating meat should be low-key, and there was no reason for her cousin to be so high-profile.
"Ah? Oh," Chen Ming quickly reacted, "There's a stream down there. I'll take you there."
When Chen Ming was cleaning pheasants by the stream, Xu Manman thought for a moment and secretly took out a large bag of pepper and salt cigarettes and five-spice powder from her space.
"Look what I brought."
Chen Ming turned around when he heard the voice.
"This is a seasoning powder I made experimentally. I wanted to give it to you to try, to add some flavor to your meal. I forgot to take it out at the educated youth camp, so it's perfect to use now."
Chen Ming didn't notice anything unusual and was very happy. He thought that he was so lucky today and his cousin was so nice to him, thinking of him all the good things.
The cleaned chicken was marinated with seasonings, wrapped with two layers of broad leaves, then wrapped with a layer of oil paper, and finally covered with mud on the outside, and placed in the burning fire pit.
Waiting time is always boring. Chen Ming even dragged Xu Manman to catch fish in the stream, but in the end, neither of the two noobs caught anything.
Neither of them had experience in cooking beggar's chicken, and fearing that it would not be cooked well, Xu Manman insisted on letting it cook for two hours. During this time, in addition to catching fish, Chen Ming also took her to pick chestnuts, hazelnuts, and pine cones, and picked a lot of wild vegetables. Chen Ming's backpack was full, so Xu Manman was also well-equipped.
He returned to the stream, took the mud ball out of the fire pit, knocked off the mud on the outside, pushed aside the oil paper and leaves, and saw the golden roasted chicken. The aroma of the roasted chicken filled his nose, and Chen Ming couldn't help swallowing.
Xu Manman couldn't help it either. Although there was no shortage of oil and water, the system had only sent pork before. She hadn't eaten this chicken for a long time, and she was a little greedy.
This beggar's chicken looks pretty good, at least it's not burnt.
Chen Ming first took off a chicken leg and checked that there was no blood on the meat before handing it to his cousin.
Xu Manman took the chicken leg in her hand and took a big bite. Hmm, it smelled really good. It had been roasted for 2 hours and was fully flavored. Moreover, the pheasant had a firmer texture than the broiler chicken she had eaten in her previous life.
Seeing that his cousin was satisfied with the meal, Chen Ming was very happy. He lowered his head to continue processing the remaining chicken. He removed the other chicken leg, the meatiest part of the chicken breast, and the chicken wings and put them together. Finally, he took the remaining chicken frame and started to gnaw on it.
Seeing this, Xu Manman picked up another chicken leg and stuffed it into Chen Ming's mouth, "Cousin, have some too."
Chen Ming took the chicken leg down and was about to refuse, but when he saw Xu Manman glaring at him, he didn't dare to say anything more and silently took the chicken leg and started to chew on it. This meat is so delicious.
Not long after lunch, Xu Manman was full after eating a chicken leg and two chicken wings. Chen Ming wanted her to pack up the rest, but Xu Manman glared back at him.
Only after supervising her cousin to finish the chicken did Xu Manman nod in satisfaction.
Chen Ming was helpless, but he was also happy. Today was the happiest day for him since he went to the countryside.
