Chapter 4 Delicious Beggar Chicken

"Brother, how could this chicken be so delicious?" The little girl took a bite of the chicken breast that Li Chengqian had picked up for her, so delicious that she squinted her eyes and said to him.

"If you eat more delicious food, we will make it later." As Li Chengqian said that, he tore off another chicken leg and put it in the little girl's bowl.

The little girl just smiled at Li Chengqian and buried her head in eating her beggar chicken. Looking at such a little girl, Li Chengqian smiled.

I also tore off the other chicken leg and started to chew it. But let alone, the ancient chicken tasted better than the previous life. It was just a little salt and green onion and ginger wrapped in lotus leaves, which was several times better than the previous life. If I added some spices, I don’t know what it would be delicious.

Just as the brother and sister were eating the beggar chicken in front of them, the people who didn't know outside were already talking about it.

"What is this prince doing inside? How could such a strong fragrance come?"

"That's to say, the fragrance is so tempting, even more fragrant than I smell at the Scented Fragrance Pavilion."

"What's the matter with the fragrance pavilion? Last time I passed by the team that delivered food to His Majesty, I didn't smell this fragrance."

While the guards, eunuchs and palace maids were discussing in a low voice, Li Chengqian and his sister had almost finished eating a whole beggar chicken.

"Lizhi, are you full?"

"Brother, Lizhi is full, but what should I do if the rest of this?" Lizhi looked at the remaining chicken heads and some meat on the skeleton, and asked Li Chengqian reluctantly.

"Mr. Zhang, please take Xia Ju and eat them! There is still some meat on it, don't waste it. You have finished eating it. Xia Ju, you go to the imperial kitchen to find some pork meat for me, and you want the one with skin, fat and thin."

After saying that, Li Chengqian took the full little girl slowly torn apart in the yard.

The two men who had long been impressed by the fragrance of beggar chicken had no hope of tasting such delicious food, but they didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. After thanking Li Chengqian, they picked up the few remaining beggar chickens and chewed them. While chewing, they also said words such as delicious, delicious, and so on.

"If you like it, when Xia Ju goes to the imperial kitchen, she will bring a few more people back. She will call the chef from the East Palace and I will teach him how to do it." Seeing the two beggars who were chewing at all, Li Chengqian thought about it and said to them.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I'm rude." After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Gao and Xia Ju remembered that their master was still there, and quickly bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, what's wrong with this? Just complete my orders."

"I must do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to serve His Highness."

"I know you are loyal. Let's go and do your business after you finish eating. By the way, General Manager Zhang, I asked you to get the saltpeter you got back."

"Your Highness, the saltpeter slave has been brought back, but I have a little more words. I don't know what your highness wants saltpeter for," Zhang Gao asked Li Chengqian respectfully.

"You will know this in a while. You first go find a large basin filled with water, and find a larger pot with water. There are also any fruits in the palace. If there is any, take some. If there is no, ask someone to go to the imperial kitchen to get some back." Li Chengqian ordered Zhang Gao.

"I understand, let's prepare now." After that, Zhang Gao went down.

At this time, the little girl was just full and the weather was hot, and she had been playing with her for a while and was already dozing off.

"Brother, I want to sleep." The little girl could hardly open her eyes and said to him, holding Li Chengqian's legs.

"If you want to sleep, go back to your room to fall asleep. When you wake up, your brother is making another delicious food for you." Li Chengqian pamperedly picked up the 6-7-year-old girl and walked out of the yard toward his room.

The guards and palace maids guarding outside, especially the little girl's personal palace maid, all stared at them with wide eyes, but Li Chengqian ignored them and whispered to not speak out, not to disturb the little girl who was already asleep.

When Li Chengqian settled the little girl, Zhang Gao had already prepared everything Li Chengqian wanted.

"Are the things ready?" Li Chengqian asked Zhang Gao when he saw that he came back.

"Your Highness, you have prepared everything you want, so put it in the yard just now," Zhang Gao said respectfully to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, then let's go there." After saying that, Li Chengqian came to the previous yard again.

As soon as he arrived, Xia Ju, who was sent by him, came back with a royal chef from the palace and several eunuchs with a pile of things.

Seeing that Xia Ju was back, Li Chengqian asked the eunuchs to take the pork to the kitchen of his East Palace.

"You are the imperial chef in the palace, what's your name?" Li Chengqian asked at the black and fat middle-aged man in front of him.

"When you go back to the prince, the lower official is the second-rank imperial chef in the imperial kitchen, and the lower official is Liu Hai." Hearing Li Chengqian's question, Liu Hai quickly knelt in front of Li Chengqian and answered respectfully. Although he didn't know what the prince had to do with him, he knew that if he was attracted by the prince, he would definitely be better than being in the imperial kitchen.

Because there are not too many second-grade imperial kitchens like him in the imperial kitchen.

"Okay, then you can stay in the East Palace from now on. Now I will ask you to make a dish. If you see that chicken, you can marinate it with green onion, ginger and salt first." After hearing the words of Bang Hai, Li Chengqian ordered Bang Hai.

After hearing this, Liu Hai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he did not dare to ask the prince what he could do to cook. He marinated the chicken according to Li Chengqian's wishes.

After seeing the chickens being marinated with bangs, he and Xia Ju were asked to mix some muds, put the chickens that had been marinated with onions and ginger, and wrap them with lotus leaves, and wrap them in a layer of mud.

After these were done, Zhang Gao's fire also rose. Seeing that Zhang Gaosheng's fire was a bit big, Li Chengqian thought, he thought that he was doing one or a few, so he asked Liu Hai to make all the chickens that Xia Ju took back.

When all the chickens were wrapped in mud, Li Chengqian ordered them to throw the chickens wrapped in mud and lotus leaves into the fire.

"Okay, the work here is over. Remember the method. First, let Xia Ju take you to the kitchen to wash the pork, clean the hair on the skin, cut it into inch-sized squares with skin, and wait for me. After Xia Ju, you take him to the kitchen, cut the fruit into small pieces and take it over. If there is honey, take some over, forget it if there is no."

"Yes, I understand."

"I understand, I understand."

Hearing Li Chengqian's orders, the two agreed and took the order out.
