After Shen Zhu entered the kitchen, he first marinated the chicken that Su Zongwen had already prepared with soy sauce, butter, and salt for an hour. After taking it out, he grinded the cloves and octagonal vermicelli into fine powder.

After boiling the oil in the wok, he put the chopped chicken, lean pork, shrimp, mushroom and homemade ham into the wok and stir-fry. After the wok was out of the wok, he cooled it and stuffed it into the chicken belly.

Since there were no fresh lotus leaves at this time, Shen Zhu used dried lotus leaves to wrap the chicken tightly and then tied it with a string.

He crushed the mud in the wine jar into powder, mixed it with water and spread it out on the wet cloth. The mud was about two centimeters thick, and then he placed the tied chicken in the middle of the mud. He picked up the wet cloth and tightly wrapped it around the chicken.

If the mud appeared to be dry and cracked, it could be mixed with mud to fill up the cracks. It would take about one and a half hours for the chicken to be roasted on top of the charcoal. After the chicken was roasted, it would be taken out to remove the mud on its surface.

Shen Zhu waited for the Flower Chicken to finish cooking so he did not take it out immediately. Instead, he let it continue to simmer, and only after the meal was ready, would he be able to take it out to taste more authentic.

Because A Qiu wanted to eat tomato scrambled eggs, Shen Zhu cooked a fried egg with a tomato and a fried egg with a pork and tofu soup, two spicy dishes, and a spicy shellfish and a small conch. Dinner was ready.

Not long after, the Aunt Liu arrived and helped Shen Zhu carry the dishes to the table. Su Zongwen brought the two children back from training, and after the few of them went to wash their hands, they sat on the table and started eating.

Ah Qiu took a deep breath and sighed, "Sister-in-law, what you call a flower chicken is really too fragrant. Why did you have to give me such a weird name? This is called Drunken Immortal Chicken! "

"I didn't name it."

After Shen Zhu heard what the Ah Qiu said, he could not help but laugh. However, the name Drunken Immortal Chicken was not bad.

"Then who started it?" Ah Qiu curiously asked.

"I've read about the method of calling a flower chicken in books. I heard that the flower chicken was created by a beggar …"

"Shen Zhu randomly found an excuse and told Ah Qiu the story she had heard in her previous life.

"Sister-in-law, you know so much!"

Shen Zhu was not the only one who was serious in listening to her story. Even Zi Yi and Jingshu were engrossed in what she was saying, and Ah Qiu looked at her with a face full of admiration.

"They all come from books."

Shen Zhu randomly found an excuse to go over there, then hurriedly changed the topic and chatted a bit with Su Zongwen about Yuzhu Pavilion.

Right now, Yuzhu Pavilion's opening was approaching, there were many things he would be busy with at that time.

"Yue Niang, you really have the ability. If this foolish girl of mine had half of your ability, I would be satisfied for the rest of my life."

Aunt Liu knew that Shen Zhu was about to open a shop, so he started to talk about it again.

"Mother, why are you talking about Yuzhu Pavilion? Why are you talking about me now?" Ah Qiu was on the verge of tears.

"You have been by Yue Niang's side everyday, why haven't you learned any of Yue Niang's cleverness? "Since you only know how to eat all day due to your poor culinary skills and your poor cooking skills, isn't it shameful for you to speak of it?"

Aunt Liu came back and forth with a few words and scolded Ah Qiu.

"Aunt, don't keep praising me. Although my culinary arts are better than Ah Qiu's, this female's beauty is a level lower than him." Shen Zhu immediately spoke out to resolve the situation, so that Ah Qiu wouldn't continue to suffer.

"How is your Lil 'Red worse than her? The little shoes that you made for Ruanruan last time was pretty good. " Seeing that, the Aunt Liu followed Shen Zhu's instructions.

The few of them chatted as they finished the meal.

After dinner, Aunt Liu and Ah Qiu helped clean up the table before returning to their own room.

That night, after finishing their meal, Shen Zhu and his family went to bed early.

The morning of the second day, when Shen Zhu saw that there were no more dishes at home, he decided to take the opportunity to go out and buy some vegetables. Coincidentally, Su Zongwen had not finished working so early in the morning, so he decided to look after the children.

Shen Zhu carried his vegetable basket and walked out, but halfway through, he met Aunt Liu who was also going to town.

Shen Zhu saw the person clearly, and immediately shouted out.

"Aunt Liu."

Hearing that, the Aunt Liu turned his head, and saw that it was Shen Zhu who smiled and greeted her, and stood at his original position waiting for her.

"Yue Niang, you went out so early?" The Aunt Liu said.

Shen Zhu nodded his head, and laughed: "That's right, taking advantage of the time that it is still early, I will take a look to see if there are any fresh fruits that I can buy."

Furthermore, there were not much fruit wine at home. She wanted to take advantage of Yuzhu Pavilion's lack of development to buy more fruits to make fruit wine.

"That's great, we also have a companion along the way." When Shen Zhu walked to her side, he followed her out of the villa.

Early in the morning, the streets were particularly lively. The hawkers lined the streets in a line, each shouting out their own dishes. Although it was early spring and the weather was still slightly cold, there were quite a few fresh vegetables on the stalls of these hawkers.

Shen Zhu wanted to pick some fruits so she and Aunt Liu parted ways. After picking some fruits, she started to pick some vegetables and walked over to the row of small stalls. Shen Zhu picked some of the dishes and went ahead to buy some of them.

Shen Zhu walked a few steps inside. Seeing that the stall did not seem to have any special fruits or vegetables, he stopped walking inside.

She stopped and was about to turn around when she noticed a ragged little boy squatting in the corner to her left.

The boy looked very thin. He was wearing only a thin patched shirt and a pair of toe-sticking sandals on such a cold morning day, but he had a cloth spread in front of him, and the wild vegetables on it were very fresh with morning dew.

Shen Zhu hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

"Elder sister, do you want to buy vegetables? This wild vegetable of mine was just picked in the morning, it's especially fresh and delicious, do you want to buy some to go home with? " When the little boy saw Shen Zhu stop at his stall, he immediately introduced him.

"Little friend, can you tell big sister your name? How old are you? Why are you selling vegetables here? " Shen Zhu looked at him for a moment, seeing him in such a pitiful state, he asked a few more questions.

The surrounding rows and rows of stands were all made up of wooden shelves. Each stall was a distance away from each other, but this boy was squatting in the middle of the gap, using rags to cover the ground and setting up his dishes. It was clearly against the rules.

He was not that old, and was a boy. At this age, he should be in the academy, why would he be squatting here selling vegetables so early in the morning?

"My name is Xiao Chong, I was ten years old this year, and it was always Grandma who made them for me to sell. But Grandma was sick a few days ago, and I don't have the money to catch medicine, so I couldn't sell either, so I went up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables to sell. Elder sister, my wild herbs are fresh and cheap, and it's only worth two coins, do you want to buy some?" The boy looked at Shen Zhu expectantly.

He had also noticed that many people came to the area to buy vegetables and many maidservants from wealthy families would also come to the place to buy ingredients. Thus, he thought that his mouth would be a bit sweeter and he might be able to sell some wild vegetables.

Unfortunately, he only sold two wild vegetables these past few days.

"Here is one tael of silver, I'll take all the dishes here." Shen Zhu was quiet for a moment, he squatted down and took out a tael of silver from his bag and gave it to him.

"Sis, I can't find that. These wild vegetables aren't worth much anyways. If you don't have any change, I'll give you two bundles." Xiao Chong shook his head like a rattle drum.
