Chapter 169 Delicious Beggar's Chicken
When the girl came over with the warm medicine, the three men had already cleaned the two pheasants.
Since they had no servants, they had to do everything themselves.
It just so happened that Yan Yu accompanied Yan Guihong to the mountains to collect herbs today, so all the work fell on Qi Yu's head.
Fortunately, Chu Changxun and Li Jinyuan were both not particular about details, and they helped him work much faster.
Li Jinyuan seemed to have a radar installed that could automatically identify Jiang Li. Before she even got close, his eyes had already captured her accurately.
Seeing the girl holding the medicine bowl carefully, he frowned and immediately put down what he was holding and took it.
"Be careful not to burn yourself. I'll serve it."
Jiang Li didn't refuse him and handed the bowl to him, and couldn't help but urge him in a low voice.
"Drink it while it's hot, or it'll be bitter if it gets cold."
Li Jinyuan obediently brought the bowl of medicine close to his lips and drank it all without changing his expression.
Jiang Li felt bitter just by looking at it. This man might have no sense of taste...
But the girl still stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth to help him wash away the bitter taste of the medicine.
Li Jinyuan's brows relaxed. He had rarely taken medicine since he was a child. No matter how badly injured he was, he didn't want to be contaminated by that pungent smell.
But it’s different now. The medicine he drinks is all made by Lili herself, and he can’t waste Lili’s efforts.
"How is it? Is it delicious..."
Jiang Li asked knowingly, her slightly arched brows making her look like a little fox with ill intentions.
Li Jinyuan chuckled and moved closer to her, quickly pecked her moist cherry lips with his thin lips, completely ignoring Chu Changxun and Qi Yu who were not far away.
"Li Li, try it. I think it smells like blood."
Jiang Li's face flushed red, and just as he was about to kiss her, she saw Chu Changxun looking towards them.
It's really embarrassing...
The girl was overwhelmed by a strong sense of shame and did not notice the doubt in his words when she slapped him.
"Li Jinyuan! You are so shameless..."
The man chuckled and grasped the girl's small fist, tightly wrapped in his palm, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get free.
"I'm kissing my wife, why should I be shy?"
"you……"
Jiang Li was too lazy to argue with him. She didn't know if the love poison was really that powerful. She always felt that Li Jinyuan was becoming less and less capable in front of her, especially at night...
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going to cook!"
The girl shook off the man's shackles with an effort. In fact, it was Li Jinyuan who had exhausted his strength, otherwise she would not have been able to break free.
"I'll help you."
In this way, he followed Jiang Li wherever she went.
Even though Qi Yu thought he had seen a lot of things, when he saw their prince waking up and following the princess like a tail, he couldn't help but shake his head and said he couldn't bear to watch it.
Is this really their prince who keeps strangers away? Why does it feel like someone has taken over his body...
……
"Yes, first wrap them with these big leaves, and then cover them with moist mud."
Qi Yu followed Jiang Li's instructions and did this. No matter how confident he was in the princess's cooking skills, he couldn't help but feel doubtful when he saw his hands covered in yellow mud.
"Princess, is this really edible..."
He had finally cleaned the chicken... his hands were numb from soaking in the cold lake water, and now they were covered in mud again?
Jiang Li patted his shoulder, her small face, the size of a palm, full of a confident smile.
"Don't worry! It'll be delicious after it's baked!"
"All right……"
Qi Yu no longer hesitated and directly buried the two mud-yellow "balls" in the fire.
……
Half an hour later,
Yan Guihong and Yan Yu returned slowly. From a distance, they could see that the half-person-high bamboo basket on Yan Yu's back was almost full.
Is this another big harvest?
Jiang Li went up to greet it curiously, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the pile of herbs.
I have to say, sometimes these deep mountains and old forests do have some benefits, the herbs grow wildly like free wild vegetables...
"What's that smell? It smells so good..."
After Yan Yu put down the backpack, he twitched his nose, and his already hungry stomach immediately protested.
Qi Yu patted his back in a funny tone,
"You have a dog's nose. You can smell it even when it's covered in mud..."
Yan Yuqi glared at him with disgust. Such a strong fragrance, anyone with a healthy nose could smell it!
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when she saw the two of them playing tricks on her. She then estimated the time and it should be about time.
"The chicken should be cooked now, Qi Yu, help me pick them out."
"okay!"
……
On the table,
Two beggar chickens wrapped in broad leaves slowly revealed their full appearance. The leaves had been roasted yellow, but the chicken was white and juicy.
The rich aroma immediately swept over, and the people sitting around the dining table felt their saliva was secreted crazily.
Especially Yan Guihong, he had lived for most of his life and had never seen this way of eating.
Jiang Li had already torn off a chicken leg and put it into the old man's bowl.
The chicken is roasted for just the right amount of time, and is tender, juicy, and very easy to tear apart. It is also suitable for the elderly with poor teeth.
"Master, please try it!"
"Hey! Okay..."
Seeing Yan Guihong pick up his chopsticks, the others stopped refusing and started eating.
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when she saw this. There was nothing she could do as there were no disposable gloves in ancient times. However, she saw that they all washed their hands before eating, so it wasn't that unhygienic.
Li Jinyuan also tore off a chicken leg and put it into Jiang Li's bowl, and even removed the chicken skin which she didn't like to eat.
"Thank you."
The girl took a bite with a smile, forgetting at all that she was still angry with the man in the evening.
He is typically short-tempered and forgetful.
"Mmm! So good! I've never eaten such delicious chicken!"
Yan Yu was holding a piece of chicken in his mouth, and even though his speech was unclear, it did not affect the praise he wanted to express.
Jiang Li smiled with her eyes curved. She loved it most when the food she cooked was recognized by others. It made her feel very satisfied.
"Eat more if you like."
"Uh-huh!"
"Leave some for me! You just ate a chicken wing!"
When Qi Yu saw Yan Yu pull the chicken wing away from him, his eyes widened with anger.
How could he not know that he is still a reincarnated pig? How could he eat so much?
Seeing that the two were about to fight over a chicken wing, Li Jinyuan's face darkened, but Jiang Li couldn't help laughing.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it! If you like it so much, I can make it for you later!"
"Really, Princess?..."
