The whole company draws lots online, and the variety show is lined up

He smiled slightly, pretending not to know, and kept busy with his hands.

One stove is obviously not enough for cooking and eating. If you want to cook other dishes that are almost the same as before the dishes are cold, you have to build a few more stoves yourself.

Wen Chen dismantled the bricks that were previously used to make a barbecue grill, recycled them and made a small stove.

Yaoyouqu brought over some charcoal in an iron bucket. The hot charcoal burning on the big stove settled in the bucket for a while and lost the help of his companions, and the flame gradually shrank.

This small fire is perfect for Wen Chen to use.

After several cycles of alternating between hot and cold, the water squeezed out of the grapefruit pulp has changed from light yellow to very clear.

Melt the rock sugar and water over low heat into a pot of syrup, then pour in the squeezed pomelo pulp.

Take advantage of the pomelo pulp's natural water absorption to absorb the sugar water splashed into it during the frying process.

By stir-frying on a low heat, the grapefruit candied fruit will not be burnt by the heat, nor will it be too low a heat and cause the syrup to solidify.

Fry until all the sugar water is absorbed by the pomelo pulp and turns into pale white pomelo pieces. The pomelo candy made from pomelo pulp is considered a success.

He took out a piece and put it in his mouth to try it. It was just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The grapefruit candy tasted like gummy candy, sweet and crispy.

Wen Chen looked up at the time on the wall. It was almost right.

Take the pressure cooker off the stove and rinse it under cold water. When the popping sound of air release stops, the chicken stewed in the pressure cooker is officially out of the pot.

A pot of very soft chicken soup is served directly from the pot, with a light sheen of oil floating on the surface and the rich aroma of chicken soup overflowing.

If they drink clear chicken soup, they can put the seasoning in it and serve it.

But what they were eating today was chicken stewed with potatoes. The potatoes haven’t been put into the pot yet, so it can’t be called chicken stewed with potatoes.

I don’t dare put the potatoes in too early because I’m afraid that if they are cooked in a pressure cooker for too long, they will turn into mashed potatoes.

Take the chicken out of the chicken soup. Don’t fry the soft chicken with potatoes, for fear that it will become even more un-cooked.

The potatoes are simply stir-fried in a pan until the skin is crispy, then the chicken broth from which the meat has been filtered is poured in and cooked until the sharp cut surfaces gradually become smooth.

This type of potato cubes have been cooked to be soft and fragrant, and they melt in your mouth with just a slight bite.

Because it is cooked in chicken soup, it has a bit of chicken flavor.

When the potatoes are almost cooked, pour the chicken in and stir-fry briefly to mix the two evenly. The potato and chicken stew is now ready to be served.

There were eight people having dinner today, and I only made one dish.

The main reason was that most of the three chickens and a small bag of potatoes that were exchanged were in the pot, and the resulting dish filled a large plate.

The portion was so large that Wen Chen had to use all his strength to stir-fry it. There was no suitable bowl to put it in, so he had to call two or three men to bring the whole iron pot over and put it on the table.

Place a small stool upside down under the iron pot, and use four footstools as a support to fix the iron pot on it.

Otherwise, the heat generated by the iron pot would probably burn the dining table they were using.

As helpers, Song Chuyi and You Qu had already tried the taste of grapefruit candy.

The two believed in Wen Chen's good cooking skills and were looking forward to the taste of the braised chicken with potatoes.

After eating it, it is indeed true, super delicious!

Even though the potatoes were extremely hot, Song Chuyi could only exhale from the heat in his mouth and was reluctant to spit them out.

[I am Mai Ba: I just saw this pot of steaming hot food coming out and I was wondering if my mouth would be burned. Sure enough, my guess was right. ]

[Ice Cream Double Color Ball: Hahaha, this is probably the most likely thing to happen to a foodie. ]

[Non-mainstream teenager: I have two blisters in my mouth and I still refuse to change. Who should I tell? Humph! ]

Youqu hurriedly handed her a glass of water, but her foodie nature remained, she held the water in one hand while still holding the bowl in the other.

Song Chuyi took the cup of water handed to him by Youqu with his eyes wide open and drank the water in one gulp.

"good to eat!"

She put the empty cup on the table and said suddenly, and it was unclear whether she was talking about water or vegetables.

The old man Guanghui picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks. After being stewed in the pressure cooker, it had turned into meat strips.

He put it in his mouth, smacked his lips and nodded.

Looking at the huge iron pot in front of him, he couldn't help but joked, what if a few more pancakes were stuck on the side?

This becomes a homemade version of iron pot stewed chicken.

The chicken stewed in an iron pot does not have the fishy smell of the goose stewed in an iron pot, and the meat is also more delicious.

Wen Chen picked up the chicken from the iron pot, his eyes moving around, as if he had thought of some new food.

"The last time I was watching short videos, I saw a recipe for beggar's chicken. I haven't had the chance to make it before, so I can try it tonight."

He said along with everyone else, looking eager to try, and he couldn't wait to run to the kitchen to prepare something.

Grandma Hua Cui was helpless. She chewed the potato in her mouth. Her mouth was short, and the soft and tasty potato tasted very good.

Although she said it was not that she did not support it, she had not finished the big pot in front of her yet and was already thinking about dinner. Was it too early?

Grandma Hua Cui swallowed the potato in her mouth and spoke softly.

"Let's finish this big pot of food first, otherwise there will be some leftovers. It's not good to waste food."

Their generation had a hard life and it was not uncommon for them to starve to death. However, unlike the children of today's generation, they had no worries about food and clothing.

Saving food is an instinct ingrained in their bones.

After hearing what Grandma Hua Cui said, Wen Chen immediately gave up the idea.

Only Song Chuyi and You Qu looked at each other, and they could clearly see the look in each other's eyes, that was the foodies salivating over the food they had never tasted before. (?′?`?)

Beggar's chicken! It's a legendary delicacy that I've heard of but never tried making and eating.

When it comes to delicious food, no foodie can afford to miss it!

They looked at each other, exchanged the same determined looks, and at the same time lowered their heads to eat.

Naturally, other people noticed the obvious fact that the two girls were eating so quickly.

The two elderly people saw how their two children ate with such relish, and under the influence of the live eating show, they couldn't help but eat more.

Although Song Chuyi and You Qu are two girls, they are very strong in fighting.

In order to finish the pot of stewed chicken with potatoes as quickly as possible, they didn't even eat rice at noon today and only ate vegetables.

With their lead, others roughly guessed their ideas and contributed to the dish.

As an artist, most people usually control their diet and put down their chopsticks only when they are 60% to 70% full.

This time they ate together, and unexpectedly, the eight of them actually finished the whole pot of stewed chicken with potatoes.

They all held their round bellies and sighed secretly that they were going to gain weight again.

Wen Chen touched his belly, stood up and paced back and forth in the open space in the yard. He turned around to look at the people who were slumped in their chairs and waved his hand.

"Get up and walk around. Lying down like this will make digestion more difficult and make you fatter."

There were wails from the crowd, but they had no choice but to obey.

Thinking of the grapefruit pulp candy he had made before, Wen Chen went to the kitchen and took out a small jar.

The grapefruit peels are still soaking, so I don’t have time to do it yet.

The grapefruit pulp candy is placed in a transparent glass sealed jar. The snow-white grapefruit pulp is coated with fine icing sugar, which is crystal clear.

Wen Chen patted the jar and said to Song Chuyi.

"The grapefruit peels haven't been prepared yet. You'll probably have to wait a while. Eat this first. It can beautify your skin and relieve cough and phlegm. Didn't you have a cough yesterday? You'll feel better after eating this."

Grandma Hua Cui glanced at Song Chuyi's round stomach and saw that he had not yet digested the food. After hearing Wen Chen's words, she couldn't wait to go to the sugar jar again.

She found it a little funny, but still remembered to remind him.

"This is all made of rock sugar. You should eat it in moderation every day. Don't eat too much at once."

Hearing Grandma Hua Cui's kind reminder, Song Chuyi smiled awkwardly while holding the jar.

【Wei Lu Zu Jiu: Wow, I can see they really dote on each other! 】

[Love You For Ten Thousand Years: I was thinking that they would not be able to finish such a big pot for lunch today, and the beggar's chicken for dinner would definitely be out of the question, but I didn't expect that they would eat it all up. ]

[Candles with red wine: Hahahaha, these bellies are rolling like they are three months pregnant. Everyone, spread the word that the "Return to the Countryside" artist is pregnant, and the baby is potato stewed chicken. ]

【Gold Coast: This is so funny, the people above are convinced. 】

After finishing lunch, Wen Chen could naturally put his previous plans on the agenda.

When I went to pick lotus pods last summer, I also picked a lot of lotus flowers and lotus leaves to decorate my home.

After they finished the recording, they left the flowers in a vase at home. After a period of natural drying, they have now turned into dried lotus pods and lotus leaves, which look quite nice when placed at home.

Needless to say, Wen Chen naturally set his eyes on the dried flowers at home.

After being placed indoors and dried naturally, the lotus leaves will be clean and dry, making them the best choice for wrapping chicken in beggar's chicken.

Dried lotus leaf bouquet: (shivering) If it had known this would happen, it would have been better off just rotting in the pond. Encountering this family has added a lot of hardships to its life. (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

Wen Chen picked up all the dried lotus leaves from the vases in the house.

Beggar's chicken is different from stir-fried dishes. It is wrapped into a ball and cooked in the soil. In order to make the chicken flavorful, it must be marinated with seasonings for several hours before cooking.

The chicken had already been lying naked in the iron basin. Wen Chen put salt, pepper, cinnamon, cooking wine, ginger, garlic and other seasonings into the basin and gave the chicken a complete massage.

Spread all the seasonings evenly on the chicken. Although this step is time-consuming, it is to ensure the final taste of the chicken.

Song Chuyi and You Qu each carried a small stool and followed Wen Chen. They were the ones who were responsible for bringing the seasonings.

As for the kitchen facilities and seasonings, after this experience, although they two don’t cook and may not have known about them before, they probably have a clear idea of ​​them now.

In order to make the food flavorful, the marinating time is essential. Wen Chen was now dealing with the pomelo peels that had been soaked previously.

The process for making grapefruit candy with grapefruit peel and grapefruit pulp is the same, but because the properties of the objects are different, the grapefruit candies made are naturally different.

For example, grapefruit candy made from grapefruit pulp has a richer taste because the pulp is thicker.

The grapefruit candy made from grapefruit peel is not only thin-skinned, but also becomes more resilient after being fried.

The former can be eaten by the elderly, but the latter requires good teeth, and young people may have difficulty biting it.

The whole chicken that has been marinated for several hours does not need to be chopped up. Just cut off the inedible parts, such as the chicken head and chicken butt.

Don’t waste the seasoning bottle used to marinate the chicken; stuff all of it into the chicken’s stomach.

The whole chicken stomach after the internal organs were taken out might be filled with seasonings. Wen Chen looked at the empty chicken stomach after the seasonings were added from the chicken's butt and thought for a moment.

I took out the red dates, chestnuts and longans that I had stored at home, washed them roughly, and stuffed them into the chicken's stomach.

Completely wrap the chicken with the cleaned dry lotus leaves. To ensure even heating, wrap the chicken with a layer of tin foil.

The yellow mud by the lake was just right for wrapping beggar's chicken. He took a bucket and filled it with mud, then he and the two girls wrapped the chicken with mud.

[TuTuTuLe: It’s really exciting. As soon as I open the live broadcast room, I feel like a kid playing in the mud. ]

[A submachine gun: Hahaha, that's cooking, but the mud looks good, it's a good material for making mud poop. ? ?)?*??】

[Play ranked games: Children think it is childish, but adults spend money to play with mud! (Attached is a picture of a pottery mud bowl)]

[I quit watching TV series: When the 90s were young, they played with free mud. When they grew up, they had to pay to play with mud. It’s still the same group of people. ]

【Minnie: I want to play in the mud, too. No, ahem, I want to cook, too. ( ⊙ o ⊙ )】

[Night Star River: Upstairs 666～]

[Little Expert in Getting Beaten: I just caught a chicken from its mother's chicken coop. I followed the live broadcast to learn from it.]

The originally silvery chicken ball was turned into an oval mud ball by the efforts of several people.

"And then, what do we do next?"

Song Chuyi's hands were covered in mud, and his face was splashed with mud, perhaps because he was having too much fun.

She didn't even bother to wash her hands. She squatted beside Wen Chen with her head tilted and asked curiously.

"Next, we need to prepare firewood and roast the lumps of earth for a few hours, then we can eat them."

"a couple of hours!?"

Song Chuyi said in shock. She didn't expect that it would take so long to roast a beggar's chicken. How much firewood would she need to prepare?

"Yes, otherwise if the heat and time are not enough, the chicken inside will not be cooked, and it will be bad if you can't eat it."

Wen Chen nodded and continued talking, while using a small wooden stick to poke a dozen small holes in the mound of earth.

As if he saw Song Chuyi's confusion, Wen Chen spoke before she asked.

"This is the vent hole. When you pierce it and bake it, the bag of earth won't crack."
