Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Wild Chicken

Translator: 549690339 |

“This forest is really huge.”

Strolling through the woods with the two little ones, Qin Lang couldn’t help but sigh. At this moment, the area downstream of the waterfall where he is, is quite far from the forest area he was searching for ingredients at noon, even the species of the small creatures around have changed.

Qin Lang initially wanted to catch a roe deer and roast it again, but it seemed like there were no traces of roe deer around.

He saw a few foxes, but they aren’t suitable for cooking. Furthermore, they are naturally cautious creatures. After stealing a few glances at Qin Lang from afar, they ran away.

“A ‘unique cooking method’, huh.” Qin Lang rubbed his chin. “I wonder what ingredients can meet the requirements here…”

Almost the moment his words fell, rustling sounds came from the forest nearby.

“Go!” With two food spirits by his side, Qin Lang bravely rushed towards the source of the sound.

Soon, a brown figure appeared in the canopy of a large tree.

It’s a wild chicken.

In terms of size, forget compared to the Wuhe Phoenix Tail Chicken that Qin Lang previously used for cooking, it’s even smaller than an average chicken, but its wings are larger than those of the Phoenix Tail Chicken.

The wild chicken living in the forest is capable of actual flight.

“Catch it!” Looking at the wild chicken’s streamlined and robust figure, Qin Lang’s eyes lit up.

Such a wild chicken, whether used for soup or roasting, will definitely taste great!

Furthermore, the moment he saw it, Qin Lang thought of an unusual cooking method he knew.

The difference between a wild chicken and a chicken isn’t significant, so Beggar’s Chicken was a viable option!

Dan Bao and Spicy exchanged glances, then quickly flew towards the wild chicken in the air.

However, the wild chicken, living in a primordial forest, was extremely alert. Almost the moment it saw Qin Lang, it tensed its entire body, spreading the feathers of its wings, ready to flee at any time.

The moment Qin Lang gave the order, it has already left the branch, soaring upwards like an arrow, so fast it was astonishing.

Unfortunately, it might be fast, but a wild chicken is just an ordinary creature.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, a figure abruptly appeared in front of the wild chicken, causing a touch of human-like shock and disbelief to flash through its sharp eyes.

At this point, it was already too late to change direction. The wild chicken cried out in surprise and crashed with the teleporting Spicy.

Spicy took the opportunity to bite it, knocking it out cold, then fiercely tossed it to Dan Bao.

The next moment, two brown shadows flew out from the crown of a nearby tree and lunged at the unconscious wild chicken in the air, trying to help it.

These two wild chickens are slightly larger, seeming to be the parents of the one just caught.

If that is the case…

Standing on the ground, watching this scene, Qin Lang rubbed his chin.

If the family of chickens are together, then they should be caught together.

“Quick battle, quick end!”

Both Dan Bao and Spicy responded, moving to engage the two larger wild chickens.

Before the two wild chickens could react, they found that their bodies seemed to be frozen, completely stop in mid-air, unable to even flap their wings.

The terrifying creature that had knocked out their companion moments ago suddenly appeared before them. Opening its frightening fangs, it swiftly attacked, leaving them in a darkness.

All three wild chickens, captured!

“These three wild chickens should be enough to eat, after all, we have other food.” Qin Lang took them, weighed them, and nodded in satisfaction. “They would be perfect for making Beggar’s Chicken.”

But, to make this dish, they need another thing – lotus leaves to wrap the Beggar’s Chicken.

The purpose of the lotus leaf is not only to separate the chicken meat from the outermost layer of mud shell to prevent the chicken meat from sticking to the mud and becoming inedible but also to give the dish a rich lotus aroma, enhancing its flavor.

“There seems to be no lotus leaves nearby.” After looking around, Qin Lang seemed to hit on something. “On the way here, we saw a plant with really large leaves. I think that it’s the wild Shore Lotus Grass?”

The Shore Lotus Grass is a plant unique to the Food Spirit World. It is characterized by leaves that are larger than lotus leaves and a special refreshing aroma. It is often used as an infusion after being dried.

If they can’t find lotus leaves, can this substitute for it?

Realizing this, Qin Lang quickly moved towards the direction he remembered.

When he returned to the camp, he held the wild chickens in his hand, a bunch of fresh Shore Lotus Grass, and his bag was packed with other ingredients found along the way. His harvest was indeed plentiful.

Not long after Qin Lang returned, the other two also returned to the camp one after another.

Zhou Tianhao seems to still remember the taste of the Roasted Sparrow at noon, this time he brought back five or six sparrows. Of course, he didn’t let the eggs go. He also added a snake whose size was not smaller than the one caught at noon.

Shen Qian s harvest was a bit special. Somehow, she caught a very plump wild rabbit and held a bunch of pink twigs.

“These are the tender branches of Cherry Red Blood Tree.” Upon seeing the other two looking at her, Shen Qian waved the branches in her hand and introduced them. “Both the fruits and branches of the Cherry Red Blood Tree can be turned into spices, and they have completely different flavors.”

“So, this is the branch of Cherry Red Blood Tree.” Qin Lang realized. Ms. Ye Cangqing also mentioned this special spice in her notes. “So the unique cooking method you have prepared for today has something to do with it?”

“Correct.” Shen Qian giggled. “This dish is called ‘Caged Rabbit.’ Watch and learn!”

“Look forward to it!” Zhou Tianhao chuckled and turned to Qin Lang. “So Qin Lang, what’s the name of your dish?”

Hearing this question, Shen Qian also cast a curious glance.

She was curious to see whether Qin Lang could come up with a suitable recipe for the spontaneous subject, just like the last time.

Beggar s Chicken!” Qin Lang smiled, holding up the wild chickens and Shore Lotus Grass. “This dish needs them. In addition, there’s one special thing, you’ll know later.”

“Beggar’s Chicken? What a strange name.” Shen Qian showed a thoughtful look, soon she seemed to think of something and said uncertainly, “I heard that beggars are called beggars in some places, does it have something to do with this?”

Correct, the Beggar’s Chicken is said to be a unique cooking method thought up by a beggar a long time ago.” Qin Lang chuckled and began, “This beggar was starving and in desperation, he went to steal a chicken from someone’s house but he didn’t have any cooking utensils.”

“To satisfy his hunger, he came up with a unique method.”

“This method, you will find out later.”

“Oh? Is there such an interesting story?” Shen Qian looked surprised. “Then I have to be careful later, to see how you cook it.”

(I had to order a Beggar’s Chicken for inspiration, of course, it’s quite worthy)
