There is a proverb here that says: When you see people eating tofu, your teeth are fast, and you will drag them with your own hands.

It is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe Erya at this time! Usually look at the roast duck seller, open the stove for a while to see how the duck is roasted, whether the fire is big or small, then blow the wind for a while to make the fire bigger, and close the air outlet for a while to make the fire smaller. Every time she bought roast duck, she would look at it for a while, and at that time she thought it was quite easy, and when she came to make it herself, she realized the meaning of 'interlaced like a mountain'. It's such a simple and easy thing, she was stunned until dawn.

Fortunately, the stove can be used, but the charcoal fire and the time of roasting duck are not well controlled. Obviously, the fire is not big, but the duck is roasted on the outside, but inside is raw meat with blood and water.

Later, it was changed to a dark fire, so the fire is indeed not big, but it is not cooked for a long time, not to mention, it is finally ripe to eat, the taste can't be said, weird, unpalatable to death, and the smell is uncomfortable. There is neither the crispy aroma of roast duck, nor the golden brown, the most classic roast duck crispy, which is unpalatable and ugly from the inside out.

After wasting a few ducks, she gradually mastered a little trick: first of all, she had to scatter the water on a low heat, and when the water was about the same, she should slowly roast it on a slightly higher heat. In the middle, the iron hook hanging from the duck should be rotated constantly, so that each side of the duck can be facing the side of the charcoal fire, so as to achieve the effect of equal heating. At the end, when it's almost time to bake, increase the heat but not too much. During the fire, the ducks should be rotated more frequently, every forty to fifty times. Start with the raw duck and finish with the roasted duck. The whole process takes at least three quarters of an hour.

Er Ya is still quite proud to be able to do this overnight, and others have to learn for several days. She figured it out in just one night. The phrase "there is nothing difficult in the world, only those who are afraid of the heart" is really classic and wonderful!

At dawn, she and the nurse both looked a little haggard, but the excitement on their faces wiped out the little haggard impact.

The nurse washed up and went to sleep, but Erya still had to take Wen Chao, Wen Yue and Qingzhu for training. Qingzhu's child is already stationed in her house, and she can only educate her own child. Fortunately, when she was young and in good health, she usually took one more child and occasionally didn't sleep for a night or two. It's not a big deal, and it's still up to it!

After the training of each project, the three children were washed. You don't need to make your own breakfast in the morning. You can buy it directly or go to the drying field to eat with those soldiers. There is no need to call the nurse again and let her continue to sleep, after all, she is too old to be as young as a young person.

Very early in the morning. The big got up and took the women they had promised yesterday. Cook porridge and stand egg cakes. The egg cakes they make here are different from the egg cakes that Er Ya taught her grandmother to sell. This kind of omelet is made by beating eggs in the noodles, adding leeks or chopped shallots and adding water, and stirring into a very thin and sticky paste. When spreading the pot, first put oil in the pot to heat, and then use the spoon that usually scoops the gruel to scoop a spoonful, and pour it down in a circle along the small half of the bottom of the pot. Then turn it over with a spatula and turn it on. That's it!

People who like to eat this kind of egg cake are because of the leeks or shallots in it. The aroma of eggs is so enticing. No, the soldiers who got up early and practiced on the drying field couldn't help but turn their heads to see what their aunts and grandmothers were doing, so fragrant!? Even Qin Baihu, who commanded everyone to practice, couldn't help but look back from time to time.

Today's breakfast, Erya had already bought it, and when she was still eating, the big milk sent someone to bring them several pieces of egg cakes. Maybe the child eats the cakes sold by his grandmother's house every day, and he is a little tired. Everyone rushed to eat the omelet given to them by their grandmother, and Erya did not stop them, and they were full.

The children went to the school after breakfast, and Erya went to grandpa's house to find the uncle.

When the uncle saw Erya enter the door, he said with a smile: "What a coincidence!" I'm going to look for you! ”

Erya asked strangely, "Ah! What are you looking for me? ”

The uncle replied: "I just want to ask you, when you go to load grain today, will you go to your house in person or who will arrange for you to go over?" ”

"I've already asked someone to bring a letter to Shi Jingxuan about this, he should go over there and wait now!" Now that it has been decided to let Shi Jingxuan be the housekeeper, then for things like this, Er Ya can completely let go of the housekeeper to do. Besides, this should also be a matter for the housekeeper!

"Oh! Now that you've arranged it, it's fine! Are you here to find me something? Or do you have something to do with your grandfather? ”

Erya nodded and said, "I'm looking for something for you!" Then he asked the uncle: "Uncle, have you started making your meat floss jerky this year?" ”

The uncle was distressed, and replied helplessly: "Hey! It is said that this pig can be killed, and it is also possible to open this workshop. It's just that your third uncle hasn't come back yet, and those who originally wanted meat floss and jerky haven't sent a letter to ask for it. We have never dared to kill pigs! ”

Erya knew that they, the local people, did not dare to take risks, so she didn't say that the uncle shouldn't be so conservative, but only said what she meant today: "Uncle! I also came to think that your workshop has been tepid, and I am in a hurry! It just so happened that Qin Baihu and them came over this time, and I didn't expect it for a while yesterday. When I was roasting duck last night, I thought that your pork floss and jerky could also be sold to Qin Baihu. It's just that you don't have a ready-made one at home, and I'm afraid it's too late to make it! ”

The uncle listened to Erya's words, his eyes lit up, and he interrupted what Erya was saying, "Yes! How could I not have thought of it! It's okay, it's just in time! After a while, the pig killer will arrive, and as soon as the pork comes out, let your third aunt hurry up, and by the time they leave, it should be done! ”

"It's good! Xiangzi and Dahong seem to have said that they will not go to the construction site today. Uncle can call them to help the third aunt! "Dahong is familiar with Xiangzi and Laizi, but Erya will teach Laizi to roast duck later, so she will think about asking the uncle to ask Xiangzi and Dahong to help.

The uncle's family took out two pigs to slaughter and used them to entertain these soldiers. At this time, the family came over, ready to help catch pigs, fetch water, carry pots, etc. Before the butcher who killed the pig arrived at the uncle's house, Erya went back to find Laizi and was busy roasting the duck.

The duck can actually be used after marinating for an hour, not to mention that the duck was drowned overnight.

When Erya called Laizi to come over to make roast duck, Qin Baihu also followed. When Erya roasted the duck out and let them taste it, Qin Baihu said while eating: "Sister-in-law! You roast duck, there are also people in the capital who make it! I've eaten it before, but it's not called roast duck, it seems to be called "

Qin Baihu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his brows spread, as if he remembered, and said happily: "I remember, it's called the Golden Duck!" However, people don't pass on the secrets, but I didn't expect you to be sister-in-law! However, their oven is not the same as yours, and I often see them use a big iron fork to fork and fork, unlike you, where you can wrap a cloth in your hand and hold it directly with your hand.

You're an exclusive recipe, isn't it?! Just teach us the words of the gang leader, it's a loss! If you sell the secret recipe, you might even be able to sell it for dozens of taels of silver! ”

Erya smiled and shook her head: "It's okay!" The more people who learn and the better they cook, the better our ducks will sell. Ducks are well raised, sold a lot, and turnover is fast. You can also make a lot of money in a year, no worse than selling secret recipes! ”

She didn't expect that the roast duck was already available at this time. However, this does not prevent his family from selling ducks and letting the children of the town do small business.

Because these soldiers had to go to Liujialing to load food after eating, they left directly from there. So lunch is made earlier. Erya roasted three times, a total of eighteen, just baked. Xiaohu's cousin Wang Shouzhu came over and called Qin Baihu and Laizi to come over for dinner.

Laizi and Qin Baihu ate a lot of egg cakes in the morning, and just tasted a lot of roast duck, so they were not hungry at all. However, they also knew that they could not delay, so they seemed a little hesitant.

Er Ya thought that the dried meat of the uncle's house must not have been cooked yet, so he came up with an idea: "Why don't you two stay behind, let those captains have eaten, and then bring people to go over there to load the food first, and when they are ready, it will definitely be too late for you to set off from here." More than 1,600 stone of grain will be loaded with more than 20 carts, and it will definitely not be able to be loaded for a while and a half, so it is not too late for you to wait until the time of Shen to pass. ”

The two of them thought that what their sister-in-law said was right, so they didn't plan to eat with everyone, but Qin Baihu still needed to go over and explain to the captains.

After Qin Baihu left, Erya asked Laizi: "The second aunt has been anxious about your marriage, because Huigui was looking for it among the girls in the town, and the second aunt looks very good." So, she wants to find one for you in there, too. The second aunt means that she wants me to pick one of those girls among them. It's just that I think it's up to you to make up your own mind! What do you think? Have you to wait any longer? Or do you want to make a reservation for you according to your family, and wait for the girl to be sent to the Northland family next year to marry you!? ”

Laizi looks like a very smug person, but he will be shy at this time. He scratched his head, blushed, and whispered: "We don't have our own place to live in the army, and it's the same whether we are married or not." Why hurt other girls? I think it's better to wait! Sister-in-law tell my mother, my mother can listen to you! ”

It's not wrong to think about it, it's indeed a bit immoral to let a girl stay alive and widowed. She nodded, "Okay!" I know what you mean! When you're gone, I'll talk to my second aunt about it. If you mix well in the army, I'm afraid you won't be able to look down on this peasant girl. It's better not to prematurely decide that this matter is harmful to others and yourself! ”

This matter really can't be decided too early, in the play and in the novel, there are more people who abandon the bad wife after gaining power, and Erya can't let the girl be pitted in her hands. Although she selfishly wants to maintain that she is not that kind of person, but the human heart is really difficult to measure. Sometimes even the scumbag himself can't imagine that one day he will do something that violates his conscience and morality. (To be continued......)
