"Could it be that Mr. Meg is cooking for himself in secret?" Gina looked at the yellow mound in front of Meg. It looked a little strange for Meg to be alone in the kitchen in the middle of the night.
Meg turned his head in surprise when he heard the voice. He looked at Gina, who was only wearing her school uniform. Although he didn't understand what she was saying, he could roughly guess from her expression. He smiled and pointed at the beggar's chicken that had yet to be opened. "I'm roasting the beggar's chicken."
"Beggar's chicken?" Gina repeated in an awkward tone.
"Gina, why don't you come and try it?" Meg waved at Gina and made an eating gesture.
"You want me to eat it too?" Gina's eyes lit up immediately. After tasting all the delicacies that Meg had made for the past two days, her admiration for Meg had reached its peak. She had been watching Meg research for the past few days, and this seemed to be the final product.
"This is a new product. Help me try it." Meg explained with a smile. Although he knew that Gina couldn't understand, there was no need for too many words in front of the delicacies. He only needed to present the delicacies.
After the beggar's chicken was out of the oven, the yellow mud that had turned red from the roasting quickly cooled down. The delicate and smooth surface had the texture of porcelain, and there were also traces of patterns. It looked as if it was wrapped in a layer of eggshell, forming an oval-shaped egg.
"Is this a roasted egg? But what kind of egg is this? Why is it so big? "Gina thought curiously in her heart. Was she going to open this egg and eat it?
Meg took a small hammer from the side and knocked lightly in the middle of the beggar's chicken. Following a crisp cracking sound, cracks spread out from the point of impact. The oval-shaped mud shell opened up like a flower, revealing the golden, oily, and shiny beggar's chicken.
The rich aroma of the roasted chicken was released immediately, filling the entire kitchen and filling the room with the fragrance.
"There's such a big bird in this egg! Could it be some kind of magical beast? " Gina was a little surprised, but she was soon attracted by the rich fragrance. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"It smells so good!"
Unlike the braised chicken's aroma, this aroma was more direct and intense. She could even feel its heat, just like the intense feeling she felt when she first teleported to the desert.
But the difference was that the desert brought her a sense of fear and helplessness, while this fragrance made her feel refreshed. The drowsiness from just waking up disappeared in an instant, and her stomach began to rumble.
"There should be no problem with the color and aroma." Meg looked at the golden beggar's chicken and nodded with satisfaction.
The aroma of the chicken was very rich, accompanied by a hint of lotus leaf fragrance. Because it had just come out of the oven, the aroma was still hot. Before it even entered the mouth, it made people want to swallow their saliva.
He had eaten beggar's chicken a few times in Changshu, and the taste was not bad. He could be considered a famous chef in the area.
But in terms of color and aroma, Meg's beggar's chicken was obviously better than all the beggar's chicken he had eaten in the past, due to the advantage of the ingredients used and his experience of gathering the strengths of a hundred different schools of thought.
Looking at it this way, the post he made on Weibo back then was not over the top. There was obviously still room for improvement.
It was just that these so-called time-honored brands had become stagnant due to excessive commercialization. They were even degenerating day by day and losing their souls.
Meg's beggar's chicken was made in between the original method and Jiangsu cuisine. The step of removing the chicken's feathers was completed in advance, but he didn't add any other ingredients to the chicken's stomach. He only added an appropriate amount of spices to preserve the original taste of the chicken.
Of course, with just a light tap on the mud shell, it cracked open like a flower. Just this extremely beautiful scene alone would make him an internet celebrity if he was on Earth.
The beggar's chicken had already revealed its true colors. The simple and crude method was, of course, to grab a beggar's chicken, pull off a drumstick, and start chewing.
Of course, this method of eating looked very satisfying, but it was not suitable for girls. For example, Gina, today's food taster. Eating it this way would ruin her elegant mermaid image.
So Meg put down the hammer and turned around to get the knife.
Different from Peking Duck, slicing beggar's chicken was not so particular. This was because the chicken wings, chicken feet, and even the chicken bones could all be considered delicious. One only needed to slice the roast duck into a size that was suitable for the mouth. If it was too delicate, it would lose its soul.
Beggar's chicken, as its name suggested, was originally a delicacy created by beggars. However, it was gradually accepted by the mainstream and became an elegant dish.
So if one didn't mind, eating it directly could also be a form of pleasure.
Meg turned around to get the knife, but Gina stared at the mud shell in a daze.
The outside of the mud shell was bright yellow, but there was a thin layer of greenish-yellow lotus leaves stuck close to the inside. One could feel the crispness of the thin layer, and it looked quite tempting.
"Can this be eaten? It should be fine to eat a small piece, right? I'll just eat a small piece that's broken … "Gina was conflicted in her heart. Then, she reached out to pick up a small piece of the mud shell at the edge of the tray.
The thin mud shell was still a little hot to the touch. Gina placed it in front of her nose and sniffed it lightly. The fragrance of the lotus leaves, together with the aroma of the roast chicken, and a unique aroma with a sense of warmth assaulted her nostrils. It was as if a hand had suddenly grabbed her heart.
"Eat it!"
A voice rang in her heart, as if guiding her.
"Crack."
Her pearly white teeth bit open the mud shell, making a soft sound as if she was biting into a crispy biscuit.
It was a little hard and a little hot.
However, Gina's expression lit up immediately.
There was a hint of sweetness in the faint fragrance of the lotus leaves. The more she chewed, the more fragrant it became. It was delicious!
Meg, who turned around with the knife, was stunned when he saw Gina, who was happily eating a piece of the mud shell. His expression suddenly became strange. "Are you so hungry that you're eating mud?"
He didn't know if he should tell her that the mud shell couldn't be eaten, but he was worried that it would hurt her pride if he did.
After thinking about it, he silently picked up a piece of the mud shell and took a bite.
"Crack."
Meg took out the intact mud shell from his mouth. His front teeth were almost knocked out. After being roasted in a high-temperature oven, this thing was almost as hard as a rock.
Looking at Gina, who was enjoying her meal, Meg couldn't help but be impressed by the mermaid's powerful bite force. Then, he glanced at the other half of the mud shell and put it down.
He chewed the mud shell and swallowed it.
"It's so hot!"
Gina suddenly covered her throat and exclaimed in shock!
