This group of old masters is elegant, obviously there is a pile of charcoal fire not far away, a piece of smoke, but they still have the heart to hold a tea cup to drink tea and sing to the Luanzhou City below, except for the singing voice is slightly ugly, the others can really be regarded as wild and unrestrained, free and uninhibited. A cup of tea, a poem, drinking tea can drink the meaning of drinking, these people are not far from leisure. However, going to the back, it is no longer like that. I don't chant poetry right, I don't have the sea and the sky, Le Ma Yanran, I don't say anything about expelling the Turks, even if I take a sip of tea, my eyes always glance this way involuntarily, and my spirit can't be single-minded, so naturally I can't become a poem. There is no way, the faint wisps of fragrance escaping from under the fire, although it is very faint, and it seems to be absent, but the more it is like this, the more intriguing it is. Looking at Xu Qixian again, he has already twitched his nose vigorously regardless of the image, trying to capture more of the aroma in the air.

Xia Hongsheng picked up a wooden stick next to him, picked up the charcoal fire on the ground, swept the soil layer below, looked at the yellow mud buried below, and calculated the time in his heart, it should be about the same.

"Brother Xu, come and help the handle, dig a pit next to it and bury the charcoal fire tightly, the weather is dry and irritable, and it will be dangerous if you have a little spark." Xia Hongsheng thought about Xu Qixian and said, while he had already begun to plane on the ground. When he lit the fire just now, he dug out a ditch around it and dragged away the weeds around it. Soon, the two dug a soil pit with a tree branch next to it, Xia Hongsheng swept it with a stick a few times, swept all those charcoal fires into the soil pit, and then buried it, and then went up and stomped a few feet, took a closer look, and made sure that there was no spark, so he cut off the soil that had been burned dry and blackened, and picked out a big mud lump from below. Wrapped in a layer of yellow mud shell and roasted by fire, all the gentlemen have attracted attention at this time, and they all looked at Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng put the loess lump into the middle of the gentlemen, then picked up a stone from the ground and knocked it, and then forcefully peeled off the yellow mud shell outside, and the lotus leaf inside was revealed, and the white and smooth chicken was exposed. With the unfolding of yellow mud and lotus leaves, the surrounding air was suddenly filled with a strong fragrance, the fat in the chicken has been poured out to the surface with the high temperature, the cooked chicken flavor exudes a mouth-watering aroma against the background of those condiments, so rich meat aroma, it should be greasy, but it is not like this, rich but not greasy, with a sweet smell like lotus leaves, it is more long and refreshing.

"Unbelievable! Disastrous! This aroma alone makes it difficult for the old man to suppress! One of the teachers stared straight at the chicken, his throat moving, exposing his hunger. The other gentlemen did not say it, but they could see it—for as soon as the aroma of the rooster had lifted, they never looked away.

Xia Hongsheng was very satisfied with the expressions of all the gentlemen, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. As a veteran foodie, it is an extremely happy thing that the food I make can be affirmed by others. Xia Hongsheng stretched out his hand towards Xu Qixian and said, "Knife!" ”

Xu Qixian's face changed in an instant, the knife he had been carrying with him was bought by his uncle from Hu Shang in Chang'an City, and it was specially given to him, it was extremely sharp, that is, the swords at home fought hard, and those swords could pop out of the gap with a light yì, but there was no damage on the knife. I've always been like a baby, but now I'm going to be cut chicken by Xia Hongsheng! Looking at the enthusiastic appearance of the gentlemen, Xu Qixian was smart and didn't dare to reveal it, so he had to take out a knife and hand it to Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng first bowed to the gentlemen, and then used a knife to cut the chicken into slices and put it on the plate in front of the gentlemen. While waiting, Xu Qixian had already asked his little servant to go to the place where the gentlemen of the academy were eating and asked the cook for plates and bamboo chopsticks.

"It's done, please taste it." Xia Hongsheng pushed it away with a smile, and Xu Qixian swallowed saliva in the back, but he had no choice but to wait for the gentlemen in front, where was he to eat first, so he could only look at it with dry eyes. In fact, there is no need to taste it, just by this strange aroma, Xu Qixian knows why his braised chicken is worthless in Xia Hongsheng's eyes.

Although the gentlemen had already been aroused by the aroma of the chicken, they still did not lose their demeanor, smiled and let each other, and then each picked up the bamboo chopsticks, gently picked up the chicken in front of them and put it in their mouths, and chewed it carefully.

Called chicken is Xia Hongsheng in the later generations with colleagues or friends of the barbecue must do a dish, everyone knows that he eats mouth, so every time he goes out to play, he is a chef, and he is also willing to do it, so he is very confident in his craft, the Tang people have not eaten called Hua chicken, and no one will take these things that are regarded as medicinal materials to taste, under the novelty, it will feel very delicious. It is not unreasonable that these condiments can occupy an important position in the Chinese dining table forever. This dish really amazed these gentlemen, as could be seen from their increasingly bright eyes and the bamboo chopsticks that gradually increased the speed of their subordinates.

"Gentlemen, the student's way is called a chicken, but it can still enter the eyes of your gentlemen?" In a few minutes, the chicken that had been screaming was just a pile of chicken bones in front of the gentlemen. Xia Hongsheng laughed, just when he was cooking called Hua chicken for these teachers, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and now looking at the reactions of these teachers, that idea is a little clearer.

But seeing that Old Master Yan put down the bamboo chopsticks, shook his head and sighed, and said, "Before Jingshi, although he worked hard, he didn't have so many doorways. Since waking up from a coma last time, this kind of appearance makes the old man can't help but think, could it be that there are really ghosts and gods in this world, and there are really immortal dwellings in the deep mountains? When the head is touched, it can make people even more likely? …… Hehe, after eating this dish called Hua Chicken, the old man really feels that the chickens in this life have been eaten in vain, and after that, I am afraid that other chickens will never be able to eat again! ”

"Absolutely! Extremely! The other gentlemen also put down the bamboo chopsticks, stroked their beards and sighed.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, when you want to eat, call the students, and the students should cook food for the gentlemen." ”

"Hahaha, I can't say it, with your words, as a teacher, I have to go to your family's food often!" Xia Hongsheng's master laughed and laughed at Xia Hongsheng.

"The teacher can rest assured that the students will not bring the same thing! Ha ha! Seeing that Mr. was laughing, Xia Hongsheng also made a joke, which made several gentlemen laugh.

In the end, it was still a little cold in the spring, and after eating the chicken, everyone drank another round of tea, and then felt that the mountain was cold, so they left together. Xia Hongsheng and Xu Qixian served by the side until the gentlemen left, and then they sat on the bluestone, only to feel that their backs hurt, their bodies were about to freeze, and their stomachs were even more "cooing", hungry and panicked.

"Senior Brother Xia, serve my brother, that dish is called Hua Chicken, although I didn't eat it for my brother, but just by that fragrance, I know that it is really several times better than the braised chicken cooked in Yixiang Curie, but it is really a god." Xu Qixian rubbed his back, which was a little sour because of bowing, and said: "It's a pity, there is still a lack of chicken, really, I haven't seen these old gentlemen so edible on weekdays, so I smelled the aroma for my brother and son for a noon, but I didn't even get a drop of oil and water on it!" ”

Xu Qixian looked at Xia Hongsheng, rolled his eyes, and said, "Senior brother, why don't I wait for the afternoon after school, you can go home with me, I will let the kitchen slaughter a few more, and I will have a good time later!" This is called the smell of chicken, if you don't see it, it's okay, I smell it for so long today, and if I don't eat it in my mouth, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight! ”

Xu Qixian is the first person after Xia Hongsheng became a sister-in-law other than his sister-in-law who is really strong and cares for him sincerely.

The time to enter the school in the afternoon was short, and I didn't memorize an article, so I already left school. Xu Qixian took Xia Hongsheng out of the academy and went down to Kuiqiu Mountain, where there was still a carriage waiting for them below. Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but slander again in his heart, this Luanzhou City is not big, it won't take an hour to turn around the entire Luanzhou City, just the academy to his house, so much road has to be sent by car, the feudal landlord class is really evil!

The speed of the carriage can't be fast, as soon as it gets up, it is the bluestone road in the city, and it is bumpy as if it is about to fall apart, Xia Hongsheng who is shocked is not energetic, even if it is covered with a thick mat, and then look at Xu Qixian, he looks used to it, but it is not comfortable. It seems that the Tang people have not yet noticed the importance of shock absorption, or have not yet figured out a way! While thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng stretched out his body from the front, hooked his head to see the structure of the carriage, and saw if it could be modified, so that it would be more comfortable to sit up, so as not to roll over in the stomach.

However, before he could see the structure of the carriage, he saw the butcher next to him, carrying a bucket of pigs into the water and preparing to pour them out. Scold! That color, like that, looks like a healthy big black pig! Black pork is the best, wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away? If you can get it home, marinate a pig intestine, fry a pork liver, it's cheap and delicious, my sister-in-law doesn't eat meat all day long, Yan zhòng lacks nutrients in meat, especially vitamin A, and I can't see things clearly at night at a young age, and I can get it back now, otherwise, if I continue to be strict, it should be night blindness.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Xia Hongsheng jumped directly from the carriage that was walking slowly and ran towards the butcher. Xu Qixian didn't know what was wrong with him, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to stop the carriage, and he hurriedly jumped down and chased after him.
