Chapter 55: Beggar Chicken
【Fuck. Tang Qiaoqiao's beauty exploded 】
【This dress looks more beautiful, like a little golden mermaid 】
【Woo woo Qiao Bao is so beautiful. I'm crying. I want to shout out the three words—I love you! 】
【All her looks are in my heart. Qiaoqiao, rush to the stage】
......
At this time, Tang Qiaoqiao had a feeling like she was late for class and wanted to sneak in but was caught by the teacher on the spot.
But no matter how embarrassed she was, she couldn’t look panicky. With so many peers on and off the stage watching, her temperament must be perfect or she would be squeezed to death.
Tang Qiaoqiao raised the corners of her mouth and slowly walked onto the stage with a calm expression.
At this time, everyone was already in their positions. The first two rows were female stars, and the last three rows were male stars. Tang Qiaoqiao had a spot on the very edge of the second row.
After the group photo was taken, there was an after-party. Everyone danced and drank together, regardless of whether they were familiar or unfamiliar with each other.
Tang Qiaoqiao did not continue to stay. She talked to Fang Yuan and slipped to the garage ahead of time. Shen Yue was already waiting for her in the car.
"Really tired!" As soon as Tang Qiaoqiao got in the car, she let out a long sigh of relief, "Participating in this kind of ceremony is even more tiring than filming for a whole day."
Shen Yue said, "If you want to continue doing this line of work, there will be more activities like this in the future."
"Who said that? Many powerful actors are very low-key. As long as they do good works for the audience, they don't have to attend this kind of drunken vanity affair."
She turned on the phone and looked at the Internet for people's evaluation of her two sets of styles for this event.
Fortunately, because of the timely change of the golden mermaid skirt, the feedback from the netizens was not bad. There were not too many people discussing the embarrassment of her wearing that ripped gown, and she was greatly relieved.
The sugar rabbits also worked hard to distribute her refined and beautiful photos everywhere.
As for the #Tang Qiaoqiao One Bite of Cake# on the headline, she chose to selectively ignore it. She could only secretly pray that netizens would be merciful when they make emoji packs.
Tang Qiaoqiao looked at a few edited photos from fans and said happily, "Who picked this dress? They have a good eye; everyone said it looks good."
Shen Yue asked, "You like it very much?"
Tang Qiaoqiao nodded.
"Except for me, who do you think has such good taste?" If people have tails, Shen Yue's must have been upright at the moment.
Tang Qiaoqiao: ...
She often felt that she was not enough for this domineering president and was unsuitable for him.
"Then who should I return it to when I take it off?" Tang Qiaoqiao asked casually.
Shen Yue said indifferently, "No need to return it. Our Shen family never borrows clothes." He just bought it right away.
Tang Qiaoqiao half-opened her mouth, staring at him faintly, and said, "Why didn't you mention such an important thing earlier?"
The dress that was torn was borrowed. Who knew how much she needed to pay?
Shen Yue stared at her sad eyes until he was uncomfortable, so he took out a box from the side and handed it to her.
"What is it?" Tang Qiaoqiao took the box and opened it. It was the mutton jade bracelet from the auction just now.
"This suet jade bracelet, it turns out that you got it," Tang Qiaoqiao touched it and felt its coldness, "Are you going to give it to me?"
Shen Yue looked indifferent. "It's useless if I keep it."
Tang Qiaoqiao asked doubtfully, "If it's useless, why did you buy it?"
Shen Yue said, "There are only so many eye-catching auction items. Anyway, I have to donate money. It is better to buy something."
Tang Qiaoqiao asked again, "Then why did you give it to me?"
"Why do you have so many questions," Shen Yue frowned and sternly said, "If you don't want it, just throw it away."
"No, it's mine. It's for me," Tang Qiaoqiao hugged the box tightly, "Throw away a million yuan. You are not afraid of being struck by lightning."
A smile flashed in Shen Yue's eyes.
Tang Qiaoqiao graciously picked up the suet jade bracelet and admired it for a while, then put it on her wrist and turned it around.
"Does it look good?"
Shen Yue raised his eyes. Her wrists were already fair and slender, and the size of the bracelet was very fitting. The mutton jade was crystal clear. Under the light, it seemed to blend with her wrist. It was so white that it swayed into his heart.
Seeing that Shen Yue didn't speak, Tang Qiaoqiao looked sideways and met his dark, focused eyes. Suddenly, she felt a tingling on the tip of her heart, and her wrist wearing the jade bracelet was also faintly hot.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned their heads and looked out the window at the same time.
The driver in the front seat smelled an ambiguous aura.
...
In order to film "Our Family", Tang Qiaoqiao left the villa for a while. She was a little worried that her vegetables in the vegetable garden were not taken care of, and their situation became worrying.
Unexpectedly, the small vegetable garden was still prosperous and bountiful. Even the chicks had grown up, and two of the hens had already begun to lay eggs.
Tang Qiaoqiao took out two warm eggs from the chicken coop, smiled, and said to Aunt Wang, "These two hens should be well taken care of."
Aunt Wang smiled. "I pick up the eggs every day. Master likes them very much, saying that it is better than the imported eggs sold outside."
Of course. It depends on whose spirit is nourishing them.
Tang Qiaoqiao said, "It's good to keep one for breeding, and the other one to eat today."
Then she went around the vegetable garden and picked some watery vegetables, saying, "Aunt Wang, thanks for looking after the vegetable garden during this time. It's only because you take care of it that it grows so well."
"It's not me, it's master," Aunt Wang shook her head, "When you are away, he waters the vegetable garden every day and catches insects."
Tang Qiaoqiao was surprised, "Shen Yue?"
"Isn't it weird? The place was full of exotic flowers and plants before, and I had never seen master take care of anything so carefully."
While she was talking, Shen Yue's voice came in abruptly, "Aunt Wang, are you watching the washing machine? Go and see."
Aunt Wang patted her head. "I almost forgot. Madam, I'll go to the front hall first."
After Aunt Wang left, Tang Qiaoqiao caught a rooster. When she walked to Shen Yue, she bent down and smiled. "Thank you."
Shen Yue pretended to say casually, "What is there to thank? This piece of land belongs to me, and of course, the vegetables grown on it are mine. What's weird about taking care of my own food?"
Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and raised the rooster. The rooster was full of fighting power and flopped around twice.
"Let's eat it today."
Shen Yue hadn't eaten Tang Qiaoqiao's food for a while, and his throat moved, "How should we eat it?"
Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes rolled. "The famous dish known as the beggar chicken."
This rooster is about two pounds, which is when the meat was the most tender.
Tang Qiaoqiao quickly plucked the chicken feathers, cleaned the chicken, and then used rice wine, oil, soy sauce, salt, five-spice powder, and other seasonings to evenly marinate the chicken inside and out. Then she wrapped it in plastic wrap and marinated it for two hours.
Next, soak dried lotus leaves in water, wash the shrimps, diced ham, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and scallops, fry them in a pan and let them cool. Then fill it in the chicken belly.
Afterward, she wrapped the chicken body with lard, making the chicken more fragrant and preventing it from being burnt.
Then put a layer of lotus leaf outside and tie it tightly with a rope.
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't use yellow mud, but just white dough. She wrapped the lotus leaves tightly and baked them in the oven for two hours.
While the chicken was roasting, Tang Qiaoqiao also made a stuffed green pepper and a luffa clam soup.
Shen Yue had already sat down at the dining table, stretched his neck, and looked at the kitchen an unknown number of times.
When Tang Qiaoqiao came out holding the baking tray, his eyes lit up instantly.
There was a huge dough in the baking pan. The dough had been baked until golden brown, like an oversized baked bun.
Tang Qiaoqiao put the dough in front of Shen Yue, holding a small hammer in her hand, and handed it to him. "The moment the soul of the chicken escapes is the moment when the shell is broken. This honor is left to you."
Shen Yue was taken aback by what Tang Qiaoqiao said. He took the small hammer and paused, pursing the corner of his mouth, then raising his hand and knocked the dough down.
The dough was baked very solid. Shen Yue knocked the dough a few times before managing to break it up. When the lotus leaves inside were exposed, he already smelled a clear fragrance.
When the rope on the lotus leaf was untied and the lotus leaf bag was opened, the rich fragrance came out with the steaming heat.
Lying in the middle of the lotus leaf was a chicken roasted to a maroon red color. The lard had completely roasted and melted. The skin of the chicken was glowing with oily color, and the bottom of the pan was still full of soup.
Shen Yue took a few deep breaths. He looked at the whole chicken and suddenly didn't know where to start. Tang Qiaoqiao tore off a chicken leg and handed it to him.
Shen Yue glanced at her, took the chicken leg, shook it, and it was still dripping the soup.
He took a bite. The chicken was crispy, fat, tender, and full of oil. Because it was wrapped in layers, the taste of the chicken itself, the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the various aromas of ham, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms were completely locked in the meat. Every bite was full of delicious gravy, making people want to eat bite after bite.
Tang Qiaoqiao was also gnawing on a chicken leg. She gnawed cleanly, not even the last bit of soft bones.
After nibbling the chicken legs, she opened the chicken belly and scooped out a spoonful of the stuffing inside. The shrimps, mushrooms, ham, and scallops were extremely soft and waxy. They had absorbed the chicken soup, and the taste had become richer.
After Shen Yue finished eating the chicken thighs, he felt uncomfortable and then tore off a large piece of chicken breast.
Tang Qiaoqiao picked up a piece of stuffed green pepper wrapped in a layer of fried batter. It tasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pork filling was chopped softly but also fine. You could taste the refreshing horseshoe mustard shreds. The green pepper itself had a hint of spiciness, which is especially suitable for rice.
After eating two heavy oil dishes, they took a bowl of light luffa and clam soup to relieve the greasiness. The fragrance of the luffa and the tenderness of the clams complement each other. After a warm sip, you almost lose your tongue.
Shen Yue ate a great meal and finally couldn't help but collapse in the wheelchair, just like Tang Qiaoqiao.
"I seem to have broken you, but I can't do that," Tang Qiaoqiao said, forcing herself to get out of the comfortable chair. "Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and live to be ninety-nine."
Shen Yue: "What do you want to do?"
"Go with you for rehabilitation," Tang Qiaoqiao asked in a series, "How has your rehabilitation been during this period, and how long can you go?"
As soon as she came back, she only remembered the rehabilitation. Did she want to escape him quickly?
Shen Yue said faintly, "Dr. Liu said that rehabilitation couldn't be done overnight. You have to take it slowly."
"Oh," Tang Qiaoqiao had to sit back and asked, "Then when did Dr. Liu say you could take crutches?"
"I don't know."
"I have to ask Dr. Liu."
"He is not in China now."
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Where did he go?"
Shen Yue said, "He went to Germany to attend a seminar, and he won't be back for a while."
Tang Qiaoqiao mumbled, "Did that old man said that treating your legs was the top priority? Now he still left the country, so irresponsible."
"Aren't you here?"
"That's right," Tang Qiaoqiao's fighting spirit was lighted. "I will make a detailed rehabilitation plan for you."
Shen Yue was noncommittal.
When the two were talking, a loud voice suddenly appeared at the door.
"Surprise!!"
[T/N: Beggar's chicken is a Chinese dish of chicken that is stuffed, wrapped in clay and lotus leaves (or banana or bamboo leaves as alternatives), and baked slowly using low heat. The name comes from the method of preparation using leaves and clay, which can easily done outdoor, and supposedly, can be done by a beggar/homeless person]
