"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Liu Mang walked into the kitchen, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Well, it's okay to play mahjong with Yang Yan's relatives at home. The five-eyed person on the other end of the phone replied.

"Will you have time to come over for dinner?" Jeba is here. ”

"Jeba is here, I'll come right over. Five-eyed hung up the phone.

"What should I cook?" Liu Mang picked up a basket and prepared to pick some ingredients for cooking.

"Let's have a 'Coke Chicken Wings', then a 'Eight Treasures Grilled Duck', and a 'Linghu Snow Dumpling'...... Jeba should like all of these dishes. ”

Considering that Comrade Jeba is a foreign friend, some dishes with bones have been excluded by Liu Mang.

"Brother Lin, have you received Jeba?" After picking out the ingredients, Liu Mang returned to his small kitchen and asked.

"Well, it's already there. ”

"Okay, I'll cook right away. Liu Mang put the phone in his pocket and tied an apron: "Let's deal with the duck first." ”

In order to save time, the duck Liu Mang chose today is a bare duck that has been slaughtered by the chefs upstairs. And this 'Eight Treasures Grilled Duck' is also a kung fu dish, and the knife technique of deboning the whole duck is used before making it.

Liu Mang took a kitchen knife and cut it from the duck's neck near the chest to remove the neck bone. Then use a knife to cut the joint between the wing and the shoulder, and remove the bone and flesh of the wing. Finally, the whole duck sternum is peeled off.

There is a trick to 'whole duck deboning', when removing the bones, use a knife from time to time to remove the tissue attached to the duck skin. It must also be cut close to the bone, and the knife is not separated from the bone, otherwise it is easy to cut the duck skin.

After the whole duck was deboned, Liu Mang took some of the fillings pre-processed by the chefs, such as lotus seeds, lilies, barley, chestnuts, ginkgo seeds, mushrooms, salted egg yolks, lean meat, glutinous rice, etc., and stuffed them into the duck body, added a small amount of water, and then tied the duck neck tightly.

Next, blanch the duck in hot water, then coat it with dark soy sauce and starch sugar to color, and fry it in a pan for 7-8 minutes. Then pick it up, prick it with a needle to make a hole in the duck to absorb the flavor, and finally put it in a bucket to start simmering.

"Hey, dear Mang, I'm back again!" After Liu Mang had prepared the preliminary work of the dishes, Comrade Jieba's sturdy figure squeezed into the kitchen.

"Welcome back, my friend. Liu Mang opened his arms.

"Wow, Mang, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Jeba put his arms around Liu Mang and slapped his vest hard.

"If you try harder, I guess I'll be so thin that my ribs stick into my chest. Liu Mangdu made Jebal breathless.

"Sorry!Sorry!" Hearing Liu Mang's protest, Jeba immediately let go of his hands.

"Jeba, you've hacked a lot too. Liu Mang glanced at Jeba up and down and said.

"That's because I just came back from India. Jeba shrugged: "A desert of food." ”

"No wonder you smell of curry. Lin Xiao took over the conversation.

"Sit down first, I'm going to start cooking. ”

"Mang, what are you going to eat today?" Jeba sniffed, "I've been thinking about the food you've cooked all this time." ”

"Right away. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Do you want me to help?" Lin Xiao rolled up his sleeves.

"Yes. ”

With the cooperation of Lin Xiao and Liu Mang, it took less than an hour for a large table of sumptuous dishes to be prepared.

"Jeba, what kind of wine do you want to drink, red or white?" asked Liu Mang as he took the duck out of the brine bucket with a colander.

"Of course, you have to drink baijiu to eat Chinese food, that's enough!" Comrade Jeba was very dry.

"Okay, I'll go to the front desk to get a drink. Lin Xiao pulled a towel and wiped his hands and went out.

"Mang, Miss Ruonan, I heard Mr Lin say on the way, you ......" After Lin Xiao left, Jeba was silent for a while and said.

"Don't mention anything, today we don't get drunk and don't go home. Liu Mang knew that Jeba wanted to say something comforting, and interrupted.

"Okay, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

When Lin Xiao came back with a few bottles of Wuliangye, Liu Mang's last 'Eight Treasures Grilled Duck' was also ready.

"Jeba, I haven't asked you, what nationality are you?" Liu Mang asked as he filled the three cups with wine.

"I'm British. Jeba picked up the cup and took one bite without hesitation, sticking out his tongue so spicy.

"After a while, Lao Liu and I will go to Europe. Lin Xiao originally wanted to learn from Jeba's boldness, but in the end, he only drank half a cup after sniffing.

"Really, somewhere in Europe? Let me entertain you. Jeba said excitedly.

"France. ”

"Oh, France. Jeba made an exaggerated expression: "Those Gallic roosters will just cook." ”

"We only cook. Liu Mang used a knife to cut the 'Eight Treasures Grilled Duck' on the table: "Let's try this." ”

"That's different, you're doing much better. Jeba picked up the duck pieces from the plate with a fork: "Hey, why don't you have bones?"

"I deliberately removed it. ”

Jeba put the duck nuggets into his mouth: "Well, it's still as delicious as before!"

The boneless and marinated duck meat is soft and tender, the filling inside is fragrant and soft, and the taste is rich after being dipped in the soup, and it is very satisfying to eat.

"It's all for you, be sure to eat more. Lin Xiao pinched a snow dumpling for himself and took a bite: "Lao Liu, this 'Linghu Snow Dumpling' is really good, it even wins my heart." ”

The inner embryo of Linghu snow dumplings is like a mille-feuille cake of dumplings, and the outside is coated with a layer of rice flour and icing sugar to make a white powder like snow. It tastes crunchy, moderately sweet, does not stick to the teeth, and has an excellent flavor.

Its approximate method is to rub the flour with lard into a crisp, then rub it with the flour and knead it into a blank, wrap it in fine bean paste to make a "dumpling", and then cook it with lard, and mix it with powdered sugar and osmanthus while it is hot.

"I'm sorry, I'm late!" The three of them had another drink, and Wuyan hurriedly pushed open the door: "Yang Yan and her aunts are going to play four rounds, so I can't get out." ”

"We came just in time, and we just ate it. Lin Xiao pulled out a chair.

"Hey, big one!"

"Hey, Po!" Jebba stood up and gave Five-Eyes a big bear hug.

"When did you come up with an English name?" Liu Mang said in surprise.

"Boss, I don't know, you have to ask Comrade Jeba about this. ”

"Don't you think he's a lot like the fat panda in Kung Fu Panda?" replied, scratching his head.

"Yes, it's quite similar!" Lin Xiao and Liu Mang laughed.

"PO, I heard Mr Lin say you're married?" After sitting down, Jeba first clinked glasses with Five Eyes, and then asked.

"Well, the happy days of bachelors are gone. Five Eyes pretended to be distressed.

"It's really not enough friends, and they don't notify me of marriage. Jeba grabbed a piece of chicken wings and put it in his mouth and munched on it, complaining.

"Uh...... It was my fault. Five-eyed raised his glass: "This glass contains my deep apologies." ”

"Accepted. Jeba smiled and took his cup: "Please also accept my belated blessing." ”

"Thank you. ”
