Chapter 31 - Beggar's Chicken

"Yo! Smells good. What's for breakfast?"

A moment later, Nuan Chun wandered over from the tribe.

Under the influence of the Chang Xia, the overall style of the Heluo Tribe became strange. Even their speech was incompatible with the Twilight Forest. Of course, they became more and more greedy and walked further and further on the foodie path…

As she was about to give birth soon, Nuan Chun looked increasingly lazy.

As she walked, she looked a little out of breath and seemed to be out of their strength. She even showed symptoms of drowsiness that only occurred in the early stages of pregnancy.

This worried Chang Xia and the others, and they looked forward to the shaman coming over soon.

"Chicken yam stew, powdered fruit pancakes, and roasted meat. In addition, there's a beggar's chicken buried in the stove by Chang Xia." Nan Feng pointed to the bottom of the stove, the curiosity in her eyes almost overflowing.

She watched as Chang Xia buried the pheasant in the stove.

At this moment.

Breakfast was almost done.

She still hadn't seen Chang Xia dig up the lump of mud that was perhaps buried in the ash. No scent had spread, which made Nan Feng even more curious.

"What's a chicken?" Nuan Chun blinked and leaned back in her chair with her hands on her belly, trying to make herself more comfortable.

In a few days, Chang Xia's house cave was built.

She could plan her house cave with Shan Kun. Just thinking about it made her feel energetic. However, Nuan Chun couldn't help but yawn. She had just woken up not long ago. Why was she sleepy again?

"Sharp-nosed beasts. They're hidden everywhere in the tribes, bushes, and white lake reeds." Nan Feng couldn't help but complain. In the past, when the tribes caught them, they didn't know how to pluck their fur and chose to skin them like they did wild beasts…

Today, under Chang Xia's guidance, Nan Feng learned that she had to use hot water to remove the feathers of the sharp-mouthed beasts and also cut open their internal organs.

Chang Xia actually didn't find it troublesome to think so deeply.

Could it be that her poor health could increase her intelligence skills?

In this aspect, other than Chang Xia, even the shaman and Bai Qing did not know as much as Chang Xia. On the contrary, Chen Rong seemed to be able to keep up with Chang Xia's thinking.

"Is it more delicious than the fish?" Nuan Chun asked.

She didn't doubt that the sharp-mouthed beasts could be eaten. There was always a way to make them edible. Nuan Chun was curious. Which one of the creatures Chang Xia had named chicken tasted better than fish?

Indeed, foodies were invincible.

Chang Xia smiled.

She used to worry about whether her people would accept a change in diet.

Now she turned around, and realized that she had been overthinking things.

Compared to what one ate, it was indeed more important whether it was delicious or not.

"Each to their own," Chang Xia said, covering her twitching mouth.

In Chang Xia's eyes, as long as it was meat, it was delicious.

That's right. That's the universal love of carnivores.

As long as it's meat, they all love it.

"Nan Feng, scoop half a bowl of yam stewed chicken for Nuan Chun to taste. At the same time, inform Chen Rong and the others to wash their hands and faces and prepare to eat." Chang Xia got up before she finished speaking.

Nan Feng answered eagerly and moved quickly.

While giving Nuan Chun soup, she didn't forget to prepare it for herself. As she walked towards Chen Rong, she drank the yam chicken soup.

The fragrance was strong and mellow. The yam stewed chicken tasted even more fragrant than the yam stewed meat.

The yam stewed meat was fresh and sweet, while the yam stewed chicken was fragrant and smooth. With a light bite, the fragrance went straight into his throat.

Even though his tongue was unbearably hot, Nan Feng could not bear to spit out the chicken soup.

"Mmmmm!"

Nan Feng called out to Chen Rong and the others to eat.

Chen Rong and the other two looked confused, not understanding what Nan Feng was muttering. However, the three of them tasted the bowls of soup they were holding…

Wow.

At this point, there was no need to say anything.

Nine times out of ten, Chang Xia had prepared a feast for them.

The three of them looked at each other, quickly deactivated their beast forms, and headed straight for the stove.

"Chang Xia, what are we having?"

"Tribal life is getting better and better!"

With the recipe provided by Chang Xia, the Heluo tribe had been living a good life recently.

Unfortunately, the shaman had gone to the birds.

Otherwise, they could make three trips a day to bring food to the shaman at Mount Kana.

They would also attack the other beast tribes in the Twilight Forest.

There were also shamans among the birds. This time, they had lowered themselves to call the shaman of the beast race over. Something big might really have happened.

Nuan Chun opened his mouth and explained the beaked beast.

In this room, Chang Xia squatted down and dug the Beggar's Chicken.

Chen Rong washed his face and hands and came over. He said gently, "Chang Xia, do you need help?"

"Bring me that slate and I'll put the Beggar's Chicken on it," Chang Xia instructed without looking up.

The longer she spent with Chen Rong, the more tacit they became.

Sometimes, one did not need words to know the other's thoughts.

Chang Xia was enjoying this.

Chen Rong brought the slate over, and Chang Xia dug out the Beggar's Chicken wrapped in mud from the stove. The burned mud was grayish-white with traces of cracks on it.

Chang Xia picked up a ball of mud with firewood and placed it on the slab.

Then she motioned for Chen Rong to carry the clay ball to the long table. She turned to wash her hands.

"A mud ball. Is this… edible?"

"Mud, it can't be!"

At the long table, Ya Dong and Shan Kun stared at the lump of mud on the stone slate with a conflicted expression.

Beside them, Nan Feng frowned.

"Eat the mud ball? What are you two talking about? Chang Xia wrapped a pheasant in mud. Knock it open. Knock the mud ball open."

"Nan Feng's right. Find something to knock the mud away."

Chang Xia shook the water off her hands and walked over.

When he heard this, Ya Dong raised his hand and turned into his beast form. He knocked lightly on the ball of mud.

Click—

There was a click.

In an instant, an indescribable fragrance quickly filled the air.

This fragrance was completely different from what they had smelled before.

It was stronger, more fragrant.

Perhaps it was because the smell had been locked in the mud.

The smell immediately made one salivate and crave it.

This time, there was no need for Chang Xia to remind them. The others around the table peeled off the mud ball and threw it away along with the chicken feathers.

The chicken was tender and yellow with a little grease.

Gulp!

Someone swallowed first.

Then came a second, then a third.

Wow.

Chang Xia stepped forward and broke off a chicken leg. She handed it to Nuan Chun and stuffed the second chicken leg into Nan Feng's hands. Then she tore off the chicken wings for Chen Rong. She kept the remaining chicken wings for herself and the rest… She nodded at Ya Dong and Shan Kun and let them do as they pleased. A chicken was directly divided by her.

"It's tender and smooth."

"It's more tender than fish. I like it."

"I've missed out."

Everyone wailed as they ate the delicious Beggar's Chicken.

Regret. How could he have let such a delicacy pass him by in the past? Pheasants were everywhere in the tribe, shrub forest and white lake. This creature wasn't afraid of people. Sometimes he would run into the beast lairs of the tribe to forage. It was very bold.

After finishing the chicken in their hands, everyone looked up and exchanged glances.

That's right. Every one had the look of a foodie.

"Chang Xia, let's continue eating chicken for lunch."

Instantly, several identical words sounded in unison.

Chang Xia nodded. "Sure."

She didn't expect the pheasants in the Twilight Forest to taste so good. They were tender and not burnt at all. The meat melted in her mouth.

Of course, it might be her first time eating it that infinitely magnified the texture.

After eating the Beggar's Chicken, everyone's gaze quickly landed on the pot of yam stewed chicken. This time, the roasted meat and fruit powder pancakes were given the cold shoulder.

They took a bowl and scooped directly.

They were afraid that if they were slow, they would eat less.

"Have some more—" Chen Rong gave Chang Xia another wing and persuaded her to eat more. She had been busy recently and her appetite was average, so she didn't eat much.

Chen Rong could not help but pick up some food for Chang Xia every time. He felt that she ate too little.

Nan Feng and the others rolled their eyes again.

At the same time, the calf under Shan Kun's table suffered.

Seeing this, Shan Kun silently retracted his foot and accepted the deep love from Nuan Chun.

Next time, next time, next time.

He must remember to put food in Nuan Chun's bowl first.
