A renown dish that calling brambling is our Changjiang Delta, according to legend in those days Zhu Yuanzhang is abjection when be beggar, invent, he became an emperor to return bear in mind constantly later, name “ to call brambling ” then. Taking the advantage of winter vacation one day in, mom is taking I and elder brother to went to a farm experiencing how bout is done together call brambling.
叫花鸡是我们江南的一道名菜，相传当年朱元璋落魄为乞丐时发明的，后来他当上了皇帝还念念不忘，于是取名“叫花鸡”。趁着寒假里的一天，妈妈带着我和哥哥一起去农场体验了一回如何做叫花鸡。
We had gotten material package early, the staff member has dug hole, a lot of firewood were put on the edge, stone is used before every hole simple load one's writing with fancy phrases a piece of small table, there is one lot on every pieces of desk wet soft earth. We were carried most a hole on the edge, open material bag, there is the chicken that washs clean only inside, two lotus leaf, hank tinfoil, a rope made of hemp, still have white of a few a condiment made of roast prickly ash and salt. After waiting for a staff member to explain to call brambling to make a process, I and elder brother furl arm go into operation.
我们早早地来到了场地上领好了材料包，工作人员已经挖好了很多坑，边上放了很多木柴，每个坑前用石头简单地堆砌了一张小桌子，每张桌上都有一堆湿软的泥土。我们挑了最边上的一个坑，把材料包打开，里面有一只洗干净的鸡，两片荷叶，一卷锡纸，一根麻绳，还有一些椒盐粉。等工作人员讲解完叫花鸡制作过程之后，我和哥哥就卷起袖子开工了。
The elder brother spreads out a piece of lotus leaf first hold in the palm go up in the hand, I carry a chicken to be put, had built a chicken to encase with another piece of lotus leaf next, use rope made of hemp to bind then, prevent lotus leaf diffuse, wrap a tinfoil outside again, wipe mud namely finally, this also is the most crucial one step. We resemble playing plasticene same, again and again kneads mud soft smooth, next even ground daub arrives on tinfoil, keep flapping again finally, make clay is wrapped strongly without break. After all be all set, can begin to bake.
哥哥先把一张荷叶展开托在手上，我拎起鸡放上去，然后用另一张荷叶盖好把鸡包住，接着用麻绳捆上，防止荷叶散开，再在外面裹上一层锡纸，最后就是抹泥了，这也是最关键的一步。我们像玩橡皮泥一样，反复地把泥巴揉软抹平，然后均匀地涂抹到锡纸上，最后再不停地拍打，使泥土裹得结实没有裂缝。一切准备就绪之后，就可以开始烤啦。
We are above hole wore two thick firewood, the elder brother held chicken in both hands go up, the staff member helps us go to charcoal fire was added in hole, next we begin to keep going to bavin sends in hole, fire is burned more jump over flourishing, the eye looks at the clay that including chicken to begin to become angry hair became good. Bake after making a many hour, call brambling to give heat eventually. The chicken us shovelled the staff member to come up, we use the slimy knock off outside wooden fagot first, pare next tinfoil, unlock rope made of hemp, when lotus leaf is opened, an aroma is tangy and come, still carrying light lotus leaf faint scent, wow! Showed the real features that calls brambling eventually, whole chicken is baked goldenly, lick one's chaps making a person, all of us agitato cries greatly: “ succeeded, succeeded ……”
我们在坑上面架了两根粗木柴，哥哥把鸡捧了上去，工作人员帮我们往坑里加了炭火，然后我们就开始不停地往坑里送柴，火越烧越旺，眼看着包着鸡的泥土开始变色发硬了。烤制了一个多小时以后，叫花鸡终于出炉了。工作人员把我们的鸡铲了上来，我们先用木柴把外面的泥敲掉，然后剥开锡纸，解开麻绳，当荷叶打开的时候，一股香气扑鼻而来，还带着淡淡的荷叶清香，哇！终于露出了叫花鸡的真面目，整只鸡被烤得金灿灿的，令人垂涎欲滴，我们大家都兴奋地大喊：“成功了，成功了……”
Next, we took one-time glove to begin to sample delicate, one person bought I and land of elder brother too impatient to wait a big drumstick, do not consider on ironed, I bit greatly, wow, too delicate, bright tender, chew the juice that shed my glibly, a bit does not feel fat, a big drumstick is eliminated very quickly by me smooth! Although be fumed to get face of grey head earth on our face, but eating so delicate call brambling, our everybody harvested boundless joy in this process!
接下来，我们带上了一次性手套开始品尝美味了，我和哥哥迫不及待地一人扯了一只大鸡腿，顾不上烫了，我大大地咬了一口，哇，太美味了，又鲜又嫩，一嚼就流了我满口的汁，一点儿都不觉得油腻，一个大鸡腿很快就被我消灭光了！虽然我们脸上都被熏得灰头土脸，但吃着如此美味的叫花鸡，我们每个人都在这个过程中收获了无穷的快乐！(文/赵凰煜)
