Chapter 82 The arrival of an unexpected person
Another story has been told, and the beggar chicken on the other side should be about the same.
After Li Miao drank all the tea in the cup, he came to the pit and carefully pushed away the soil with a hoe. The soil was still steaming.
Soon I saw a few balls of dry and cracked mud in the pit.
Working together with Zhe Xinyi, we took out these mud balls one by one from the pit.
After breaking open one of the bunches, a lotus leaf inside that was completely wilted was revealed. When the lotus leaf was spread out, wisps of hot steam came out from the browned chicken, and the fragrance was so fragrant that it made people salivate.

"Uncle, aunt, this chicken is for you."
Li Miao gave the first chicken to Zhe Junyan and his wife, then he opened another ball of mud and gave the chicken with the same drooling look inside to the steamed-faced maid and Xiuhe.
p>
The two maids couldn't wait to pull off a chicken leg each. Regardless of how hot it was, and regardless of their image as women, they took a bite, and their big eyes turned into crescent bays.
Delicious!
So delicious!
Li Miao opened the third beggar's chicken. After it cooled down a little, he pulled off a chicken leg. The fragrant chicken fat came out and dripped on the ground.
Li Miao handed the chicken leg to Zhe Xinyi and said, "Try it, the taste shouldn't be too bad."
"Thank you."
Zhe Xinyi took it and slowly took a small bite.
After swallowing it, Li Miao asked: "How does it taste?"
Zhe Xinyi praised without hesitation: "This is the most delicious chicken I have ever eaten."
Li Miao smiled with satisfaction, then pulled off a chicken leg for herself and took a big bite.
Well...the craftsmanship has not fallen behind.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhe Xinyi stop eating chicken legs and looking at her face, Li Miao couldn't help but stop eating chicken legs and asked in confusion: "Is there something on my face?"
As he said this, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face. However, he paused the next second and found that his hands were stained with chicken fat.
"Let me do it."
Zhe Xinyi took a step forward and came to Li Miao. She raised her hand and wiped away the stains on Li Miao's face with her sleeves.
The faint and pleasant aroma passed into his nose. Li Miao subconsciously held her breath and allowed Zhe Xinyi to move.
"Okay."
Zhe Xinyi withdrew her hand and suddenly paused.
She found that her parents, the bun-faced maid, and Xiuhe were all focusing on the two of them.
Only then did she realize that besides the two of them, there were other people here.
The scene was very quiet.
"Ahem..."
Li Miao coughed lightly.
Zhe Xinyi took a step back and continued eating the chicken legs as if nothing had happened. However, if you look closely, you will find that the back of her ears has quietly turned red.
The bun-faced maid and Xiuhe approached each other and laughed secretly.
Mr. Zheliu had a smile on his face.
Zhe Junyan showed no expression, lowered his head, and continued to eat the drumsticks of the beggar's chicken.
Then, as if he noticed something, he turned his head and looked over.
I saw King Jin walking towards this direction under the leadership of a servant in the mansion.
Why did this person suddenly appear here?
While doubts and surprises flashed through his heart, Zhe Junyan went up to greet him. The others also discovered King Jin at almost the same time and followed him to welcome him.
"I have met His Royal Highness King Jin."
Under the leadership of Zhe Junyan, everyone saluted King Jin.
"Old General Zhe, please get up quickly. There is no need for you to be so polite."
The King of Jin quickly helped Zhe Junyan up. He had no intention of showing off to this veteran general with great military exploits, and showed great respect for him.
Then, Zhe Junyan invited King Jin to sit down and asked the bun-faced maid to make a pot of new tea.
King Jin apologized: "I came here uninvited and disturbed everyone's enjoyment. I'm really sorry."
Zhejun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has spoken seriously."
Then, he raised the doubts in his heart: "I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of Jin is coming to my residence today?"
The King of Jin said: "Old General Zhe, I am here mainly to find Li Zhuangyuan."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to Li Miao, who was trying his best to disguise himself as a transparent person.
Don’t forget, Li Miao refused the King of Jin’s invitation on the grounds of illness. However, when he should have been ill, he was eating beggar’s chicken until his mouth was full of oil, which looked a little like he was ill.
Are you looking for this kid Sanshui?
Zhe Junyan couldn't help but be a little surprised. When did this child get involved with Prince Jin?
Zheliu, who had never paid much attention to the arrival of King Jin, also looked at Li Miao when she heard this. There was a hint of worry between her eyebrows. In her opinion, there was nothing good about being related to the royal family.
Things.
The King of Jin and Li Miao smiled and said, "Li Zhuangyuan, I wonder if you can give me a favor?"
......
King Jin and Li Miao stood in the small pavilion, looking at the calm water of the pond in front of them.
Not far away, Zhe Junyan and others looked this way from time to time.
King Jin withdrew his gaze from the calm water, turned to Li Miao aside, and said with a half-smile: "Li Zhuangyuan, didn't you say you were sick?"
"Ahem..."
Li Miao coughed a few times, and said without blushing, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I am indeed sick today, so you just saw me eating chicken. It was because I was replenishing my body's nutrients, because I ate so much
After a few bites of chicken, I can now stand in front of His Highness King Jin, otherwise His Highness King Jin would have seen me lying on the bed."
His Royal Highness King Jin: "..."
Why is this person so thick-skinned?
How can you be so ridiculous?
"Ahem..."
King Jin also coughed a few times, and then changed the subject: "Li Zhuangyuan, what is the name of the chicken you were eating just now? It looks pretty good."
Li Miao subconsciously replied: "The beggar's chicken tastes quite good. Would you like to try it, Your Highness, Prince Jin?"
To be honest, for the King of Jin in front of me, let’s not talk about how good his senses are, but at least it is better than that of the prince.
For example, if the person in front of him was the prince, he probably would not have added the second half of the sentence.
As for the reason...well...
King Jin only thought about it for a short breath and then said: "Then I'll trouble Li Zhuangyuan."
So, Li Miao left the small pavilion, and after talking for a while with the Zheliu family, she returned to the small pavilion with an unopened beggar's chicken.
Under the slightly expectant gaze of King Jin, Li Miao opened the mud shell and revealed the beggar's chicken inside.
At this time, although there is no longer any heat coming out, it is still warm.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, please!"
Li Miao made a gesture of invitation, indicating to King Jin that he could provide enough food and clothing for himself. This person was not Zhe Xinyi, so he had no interest in tearing off a chicken leg and handing it over.
"Well, it's very good!"
King Jin's eyes lit up slightly, and he finished one chicken leg in a short time, and then he tore off another chicken leg without wanting to finish.
After eating and wiping it clean, King Jin asked curiously: "Li Zhuangyuan, why do you call it such a strange name as a beggar's chicken?"
Li Miao said without hesitation: "Because it's called that."
King Jin: "..."
