After watching the rabbits, Xu Congyi took Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao to the mountain again and picked some sour fruits and chestnuts. After all, free labor would be wasted. Tang Wenhao was different from Shen Xiao and Xu Congyi. He had never done housework since he was a child, so coming to the mountain was not labor but enjoyment for him. Xu Congyi understood Tang Wenhao's enthusiasm very well. It was just like a modern picking garden. People who actually planted fruit trees and picked fruits would not find it easy, but for people living in steel and concrete, picking was a kind of relaxation and fun.

The three of them walked around and thought it was almost time, so Xu Congyi took them back home and asked them to go to the main hall to drink tea, while Xu Congyi went into the kitchen. Xu Congyi secretly looked at the clock and saw that the meat had been stewed for an hour and a half. He tasted it and felt that it was not quite enough, so he added some salt and put in potatoes and beans to continue stewing.

In the main hall, Shen Xiao, Tang Wenhao, and Xu the Hunter Li Dahua started chatting. The more they looked at the two boys, the more they liked them, especially Shen Xiao. Li Dahua had felt that her daughter had a special feeling for Shen Xiao, especially the joy in her eyes every time she saw Shen Xiao.

When the potatoes could be pierced through with chopsticks, Xu Cong took out the dough that his mother had soaked in water in advance, flattened it with his hands and then stretched it out, sticking part of it to the edge of the pot and part of it to the chicken. After the pancake was stuck, cover the pot and let it sit for five minutes, and it was done.

While taking this opportunity, Xu Congyi simply stir-fried some vegetables and then they could start eating. Li Dahua took the bowl and chopsticks, Xu Congyi served the dishes, and Xu Liehu was responsible for the pot. The pot for the ground pot chicken that Xu Congyi specially used could be taken down from the stove. Ground pot chicken would not be interesting if it was served and put on a plate. It would create the atmosphere to eat it directly from the pot.

When this huge pot of clay pot chicken was served on the table, Tang Wenhao immediately lost control of his facial expression. It was no wonder, as he had only eaten small and exquisite meals since he was a child. It was normal for him to be surprised when he saw such a bold dish for the first time. In fact, Shen Xiao was also a little surprised, but he only showed it for a moment and quickly adjusted himself.

When I opened the lid of the pot, a scent of meat rushed into my nose. "This is called earthen pot chicken. It's similar to our ordinary stewed chicken, but the staple food is also put in the pot. Everyone, try it. This is my first time making it, so please give me some suggestions."

"Sister Xu is so modest. Just smelling the taste is better than many chefs." Shen Xiao did not lie. Shen Xiao grew up in a wealthy family. His father paid special attention to food, so the private chefs in his family were all high-level chefs from all over the country. Although he was imprisoned and exiled due to a sudden change, and was assassinated on the way, he escaped by luck and was adopted by Grandpa Shen, but the memory is still there. The last time he ate the noodles made by Xu Congyi, he felt that it was better than the noodles made by all the chefs in the mansion. He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. It smelled good and tasted even better. Shen Xiao's eyes darkened. If his father was still alive, he would definitely love it.

When Xu Congyi asked everyone to try it, Tang Wenhao couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks. He first picked up a piece of dough and looked at it carefully. The bottom of the dough was soaked in the soup, and it seemed to have fully absorbed the taste of the soup. And because the dough was not leavened, it would not be soft even if it was soaked in the soup, but soft and chewy. The dough sticking to the edge of the pot was crispy and delicious. The same dough had two different tastes. Tang Wenhao couldn't help but sigh that this dough was very delicious!

He finished a piece of cake in no time, and then took a piece of chicken. This chicken tasted better. Because it was pheasant meat, the texture was firm, but after nearly an hour of stewing, the chicken had become soft and rotten, and it didn't get stuck in the teeth like the pheasant meat he had eaten before. Tang Wenhao savored the deliciousness of the chicken and felt very satisfied.

"Brother Shen Xiao, Young Master Tang, try a piece of potato, it's delicious!" Xu Congyi enthusiastically recommended the potatoes for the earthen pot chicken, for no other reason than that she bought the potatoes from the space. The potatoes of this era taste a bit astringent, not as soft and delicious as the modern potatoes, so she specially placed an order for Gancheng potatoes on Taobao in the space. The potato has a high starch content and tastes soft and sandy. Paired with the soup of the earthen pot chicken, it is so delicious.

Tang Wenhao stopped using his chopsticks to pick up the second piece of chicken and turned to the potatoes. Shen Xiao also picked up a piece to taste. After just one bite, Tang Wenhao's eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious, not astringent at all. He scooped a little soup onto the potatoes with a spoon and ate it in one bite. Tang Wenhao felt that he was sublimated. Shen Xiao felt the same way. With the potatoes mixed with the soup, Shen Xiao felt that he could eat a large bowl of rice just by eating the potatoes, not to mention the pancakes in the clay pot chicken.

The five people ate with great relish. The clay pot chicken and stir-fried vegetables were all eaten up cleanly. The rest of the people were fine, but Tang Wenhao was so full that he kept burping. Xu Congyi had thought that there would be some left over, but he didn't expect that he ate it all. Even the soup was eaten up by Tang Wenhao with the pancakes. In the end, there were not enough pancakes, so Xu Congyi and Li Dahua had to eat the old rice left over from the previous day.

Xu Congyi was really worried that these people would eat too much and have indigestion, so she went to the kitchen under the pretext of pouring some water for everyone, but in fact she bought some digestive powder from the space and poured it into the kettle. The digestive powder had a slightly sweet taste, but you couldn't taste it unless you tasted it carefully.
