Chapter 909 Camphor Tea Duck

After lunch, Li Junge first took out the duck that had been soaked for more than half a day and put it in a pot of boiling water to blanch it slightly.

After the skin is tightened, the duck is taken out and dried to dry the moisture, and the duck at this time has already tasted.

On the other side, prepare the smoked material, mix it with peppercorns, sawdust, tea leaves, cypress leaves, and camphor leaves, and put it in a clay pot to light the smoke.

Take a bamboo smoker cage and cover it on a clay pot, put the duck in the cage, cover it with a bamboo lid, smoke it for 10 minutes, then turn the ducks over one by one, re-add the smoked material in the clay pot, and smoke it for 10 minutes.

After smoking, the duck's skin has turned yellow, and there is already a woody aroma when you smell it.

Then mix the juice with Shao wine, mash juice and pepper, evenly spread it on the duck skin and duck belly, put the duck into a large steamer and steam it for two hours, take it out and let it cool.

Today's holiday, Ayin is also at home, and she and her grandmother are making one of the few classic pasta dishes in Jiachuan, mille-feuille shortbread.

Shortbread is made by rolling ghee and pastry into a puff pastry, wrapping it with a sugar filling, and baking it in an oven.

It's easy to say, but the white case is Li Junge's painstaking hand, and his skills in this area are not as good as Ayin, who likes to make pastry bread and cassava cakes.

Aunt Ayin's small pastries are now getting better and better in the eyes of the babies.

The shortbread has sesame filling, osmanthus filling, and orange filling.

The honey cake is the most famous Xiangshan honey cake in Zhongzhou County, which is subordinate to Yuzhou.

The main raw materials of honey cake are flour, honey, and sesame oil. The production method is to knead the dough with honey and wheat flour and then ferment it and bake it in a traditional oven, the orange butter is bright, sweet but not greasy, crispy but not broken, soft and delicious, and the honey is rich.

This thing is said to be thousands of years old. When Bai Juyi was the assassin of Chungju, he brought the technique of making flax honey cakes from Chang'an Fuxing Fang to Chungju, personally baked honey cakes to entertain guests, government officials and the elders of the state, and also taught the cake-making technology to the people of the state, which was later widely spread among the people.

Because Bai Juyi is nicknamed "Xiangshan", the people of Chungju commemorate him, so this cake is named "Xiangshan Honey Cake".

Jiachuan and Yuzhou are next to each other, so the method of making honey cakes has been widely spread in the old times, and many older generations know the method.

But now everything is convenient, except for places like Lijiagou that occasionally make it yourself, and the rest of the places are bought.

If it weren't for Ayin's love of fiddling with these and asking her grandmother to teach her, her grandmother wouldn't have bothered to bother with it.

But grandma didn't make a move, as soon as she made a move, it was a big scene, the three women in the family were busy all day, using the big iron pot on the stove as an oven, combined with Ayin's modern oven, and made hundreds of cakes.

Then let Li Junge drive the car all the way to deliver the cakes.

The two aunts' houses in Panao Township, Uncle Shi, Uncle Orion, Uncle Pharmacist, and Santaiguan, forget what they can do, mainly for those who don't have to guess that they don't have homemade moon cakes at home......

sent it down in a circle, and by the way, Liang Yatou, the fourth grandfather's family, the uncle's family, and the two members of the uncle's family were also brought home for the festival.

Passing by the end of the village, I saw a few fishing friends at the water's edge, stopped to say hello, and brought up three tails and more than three catties of warped mouths.

The little milk dog has begun to recognize its owner, and Alimu and Arthur are now holding the two dogs they have chosen all day long, and they like it so much.

Back in Tiren Garden, grandma was happy when she saw Tongtong, clapping her hands to attract her attention: "Come obediently, Zuzu hug!"

Uncle Mingjiang hurriedly said: "Tongtong has a lot of strength, be careful to hold your legs." ”

Grandma took Tongtong and let her sit on her lap, fiddling with her little arms and legs: "Yo, this bracelet is very delicate." ”

Liangzi said with a smile: "This is what Grandpa Yu asked Grandpa to work with the silversmith grandfather on the mountain, and the work is indeed very fine." ”

Grandma tilted her body and Tongtong: "Our Tongtong is just to attract love, right? The bits and pieces of each family add up to the old and young......

Tongtong raised his head to look at her, and shouted in a milky voice: "Milk...... ......"

This made the grandmother even more happy: "Ouch, the little girl's mouth is so sweet!"

Dad came out to beckon everyone to sit down and chat, and sent Li Junge to cook.

Lijiagou's dinner is not too complicated, just fry a spicy shredded beef, a fish-flavored shredded pork in a big pot, steam it and warp it, and the rest is all kinds of fried vegetables.

Coupled with the bamboo shoots and stewed bamboo rats that were cooked in the afternoon, the stewed chicken with matsutake mushrooms, the Dongpo elbow, and the newly steamed brown sugar glutinous rice with Wujin rice, the specifications of the family banquet are still enough to support.

After finishing the work, the time is about the same, and the duck is taken to start the next set of processes.

Heat the wok on a hot fire, boil the vegetable oil until it is eighty percent hot, and Li Junge began to pour hot oil on the duck.

The duck is poured until the duck skin is crispy, fragrant and crispy, and it must not be scorched, otherwise the duck skin will become bitter after smearing the mash sauce.

Brushed with sesame oil, this is a very famous Sichuan dish in duck dishes - camphor tea duck.

Now the duck has changed to the color of a date, and the oil shine makes it fragrant.

Li Junge first cut the duck into small strips one finger long and two fingers wide and put them into three plates.

Next to each plate, place two dipping dishes made of sesame oil and sweet noodle sauce, cut the green onions into sections, and then finely chop the green onions from the head into flowering shallots, and also place them in two small plates, surrounding the four sides of the duck.

That's it.

In the end, he fried a steak for Ali Mudan, and made a porridge with chicken soup and chopped vegetables and leaves for Tongtong, and then beckoned everyone to the table.

That's three tables of people.

The osmanthus flowers in Tiren Garden were collected by my grandmother, and some of them were made into osmanthus candy and some of them were made into osmanthus wine.

Some of the osmanthus candy was made into shortbread today, and at the dinner, everyone drank osmanthus wine.

Today is a family dinner, and there are only two sisters in the group of four.

The fourth grandfather picked up the wine: "This is the most time we have gathered in the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Siqin and Simei have no choice, otherwise they will all be together." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "When I sent the moon cakes over today, my aunt was packing up her things, saying that she was going to her cousin's house in the city to get together. The second aunt just retired and sent Meixian to Shudu, but I don't know when I will come back, so I sent the cake to my cousin. ”

The uncle smiled and said: "Send it to the sub-bureau, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold up the little cubs to eat, so I have to trouble Liang Yatou to bring another one back to Zhilan and Zilun for a while." ”

Liang Huili responded with a smile.

The fourth grandfather said: "Then it doesn't matter, let's drink it ourselves!"

Today's holiday, Alimu and Arthur also got a glass of rice wine each, and everyone walked together and started to eat.

Liangzi wanted to feed Tongtong, and grandma smiled: "Liangzi, you just eat, Tongtong will be fed to me." You taste this duck, Piva made it all day. ”

Li Junge patted his head: "I have to give Aunt Liangzi a dipping disc." ”

Turning around and going into the kitchen, she pulls out Fluttershy and says, "This one has mustard oil, maybe you like it better." ”

Ryoko said, "Is this different from the board goose we take?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Then the difference is big, the goose is a pickled product, and the taste is completely different." ”

Liangzi dipped a duck strip in the dipping sauce and put it in his mouth and chewed: "Well, it's so fragrant, this taste is so rich! There are many flavors gathered together, well, there is the smoke of cypress branches, I know, there are peppercorns, and there is mash...... There is another smell that is familiar, but it is impossible to say. ”

Li Junge said: "There is also the fragrance of camphor leaves and tea leaves, this dish is called camphor tea duck." ”

Liangzi said: "This tastes really good, with this mustard oil dish, it suits our taste very well, Piwa, you teach me, and I will make it for him to taste when my father comes." ”

Grandma said with a smile while feeding Tongtong porridge: "I think it's not too far from our local smoked duck and sweet duck method, but the process is much more complicated. ”

Ryoko said with a smile: "Some time ago, there was a funny thing, there was a Korean post, which said that Korea is a food kingdom, and Chinese food is much worse than Korean food. ”

Ayin asked, "And then?"

Ryoko said with a smile: "As a result, we Japanese were angry, and many Japanese netizens ran to reply to the post, listing all kinds of evidence, saying that Chinese cuisine can only be compared with French cuisine, and we don't dare to compare Japanese cuisine, how can you Koreans dare to say this." ”

The old man couldn't laugh: "What about the Chinese?"

Ryoko said: "The Chinese took a screenshot of this post and translated it and posted it on domestic forums as a joke. ”

Uncle couldn't help laughing and said: "We netizens are really reasonable. ”

Li Junge laughed: "It's not reasonable, it's that there are too many moths over there, and I can't care about it." ”

Shirly and Alie have been looking for a long time: "Jungle, where's the?"

Li Junge said: "I will eat the cake when I admire the moon for a while, and now is the time to eat." ”

Alie said, "No, shouldn't the duck be put in the cake, with shredded green onions, dipped in this sauce with cucumbers, and rolled up to eat?"

Li Junge put his hand on his head: "The one you are talking about is Peking duck!"

My mother ate indiscriminately in three or two bites, took Tongtong over, and changed her grandmother to eat.

Grandma picked off the most tender meat on her belly, checked that there were no thorns, and put it in a small bowl of Tongtong.

The mother fed two mouthfuls and said: "Tongtong also likes to eat fish, and he must be smart when he grows up, and Piwa likes to eat fish when she is a child." ”

Uncle Smith said: "That's not necessarily, I also liked to eat fish when I was a child, but I didn't have a brain like Piwa." ”

The people at the table laughed when they said this, not to mention this family, this township can compare the head with Li Junge, the fourth grandfather, the old man, uh, it seems to be gone.

Even the old cousin can only be regarded as having outstanding professional skills, and if he really wants to talk about his flexible brain, even the old uncle doesn't dare to say that he is better than Li Junge.

The uncle sighed: "It seems that the baby is still a little more spiritual......"

The people at this table really couldn't help it, and couldn't help laughing together.

The fourth grandfather touched Arthur and Alimu's little heads and smiled: "Our branch has a 'persistence', and when it comes to Yuxiang and Yuhuai, it has become 'Han'; But when it came to Siqi's branch, it was obviously a 'light', but how did it turn into 'cunning', it's really incredible!"

Liang Huili put down her chopsticks and applauded: "The fourth grandfather summed it up so well!

Li Junge clipped a chicken wing and gave it to Liang Huili: "Hurry up and eat it! The township chief has been in office for a long time, and he still likes to play and sum up! By the way, how many of the 1500 million yuan are left in the township? Is there 500 million?"

Liang Huili said: "Ha, what do you want to do? The county has not left so much, and our Panao Township is only more than 100 million. ”
