Roast duck is generally divided into two genres, one is hanging oven roast duck and the other is braised oven roast duck. The two genres have their own characteristics, the hanging oven roast duck is an open flame, and the oven roast duck is a dark fire, so the heat of the hanging oven roast duck is easier to master. However, the cost of hanging the oven to roast duck is relatively higher, first of all, it requires that the firewood must be jujube, peach, pear and other fruit trees. However, the duck skin and meat roasted with fruit trees are better in taste and appearance.

Lian Man'er herself prefers to eat roast duck in the hanging oven, and after comparison, she finally decided to use the hanging oven to roast. According to her own memories and the information found in the book, Lian Man'er drew a pattern of hanging stoves. She kept in mind that one person was short and three people were long, and after drawing the pattern, she deliberately took it to the study to show Mr. Lu and Goro.

Mr. Lu was knowledgeable and well-informed, and he was very interested in Lian Man'er's idea of making a special hanging oven to roast duck.

Looking at the final pattern, Mr. Lu said that he was looking forward to the roast duck that Lian Man'er was about to make.

Lian Man'er smiled secretly in her heart, Mr. Lu also has a certain attribute, if it is an ordinary person, it is generally called a foodie, but because it is Mr. Lu, he has to be called a gourmet. Of course, there is another special word for this attribute - gluttony.

With the pattern, the next step is to find a craftsman to make the hanging stove. This matter was handed over to Lian Shouxin, to make a secret roast duck, Lian Man'er had many other things to prepare.

To make roast duck, the general breeding of Hepu duck is not enough, the best is to fill the duck, that is, to feed the duck in the way of stuffing. The feeding method of cramming ducks has been around for a long time, but it has not been promoted, so there are very few records. Lian Man'er knows a little about this, but she doesn't have accurate data on the specific feed ratio and the amount of food per meal per day.

In order to grasp this data, Lian Man'er decided to raise the 20 or so Hepu ducks herself. In this way, the feeding data can be adjusted and determined through daily observation experiments. Lian Man'er's plan is that when she has these data, almost that batch of Xingpu ducks has already hatched, and it will be used at that time.

In the secret roast duck, there are also strict requirements for the preparation of ducks, including the method of slaughtering and taking internal organs, etc., and even Man'er told these to Zhang, and Zhang took Han Zhong's daughter-in-law to practice. Of course, there are too few Hepu ducks to be the object of practice, so they can only use the local ducks raised at home.

This job is not difficult at all for Zhang, who is good at cooking.

The result of Lian Man'er's preparation is most obvious at her own dining table, that is, the family can eat dishes made of duck almost every day. The duck meat is cold, so it is suitable to eat it in this season. Especially the duck soup, the family lover drank it for a while, and the skin was very good.

These preparations can not be completed in a day, and even Man'er has no intention of rushing, in addition to taking care of the twenty or so Hepu ducks every day, she will also go to the courtyard to see Dagui and Dagui's daughter-in-law hatching ducklings.

Before the hanging stove was made and delivered, Lian Man'er still had a lot of leisure.

Because of the matter of Hepu duck first, the various souvenirs and gifts that Gorou brought back, Lian Man'er did not spare time to tidy up until the next day. There are all kinds of things that Gorou brought back, and looking at these things, I can almost see Gorou's entire itinerary in front of me.

A small object can lead to a scene, and maybe an interesting little story. Even Man'er deliberately waited until Gorou was at home to sort these things, just to listen to Gorou tell those scenery and interesting stories along the way.

There are so many things, in addition to the ones they keep at home, Zhang's, Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er discussed sorting out a few copies to give away. The Zhang family, the Wu family, Wang Youheng's, and Lian Ye'er's. In addition to these people, Lian Man'er also deliberately sorted out three other copies, one for Shen Jin, another for Shen Qian, and one for Mr. Chu.

On this day, Lian Man'er packed up the three table gifts, and went to the Nian Garden with Mr. Lu, Wulang, and Xiao Qi.

Entering the Nian Garden, Mr. Lu, Wulang and Xiao Qi took the gifts for Mr. Chu and Shen Qian and went to Xiaoshan Residence, while Lian Man'er took the two girls, Xiaoxi and Xiaoqing, and took the gifts for Shen Jin to Hexuan.

Even the things that Man'er picked for Shen Jin didn't care about the value, but the interesting gadgets that were unique to various places that they deliberately selected, and the same was naturally true for the one given to Shen Qian.

Shen Jin looked at the various things on the table, quite shocked. She wondered if Man'er hadn't even sent her all the things her brother had brought back.

“…… None of us have ever been far away, and my brother is out this time, eager to bring everything back to us. Lian Man'er explained to Shen Jin with a smile, "Little Brother Jiu should have seen it that day, several big cars are full of these things." I picked up the ones I liked, and I gave you a small portion of my share. ”

This is to tell Shen Jin that these things are only a small part of the things that Gorou brought back, and it was Lian Man'er who gave her some of his own, not Gorou who sent things to her.

Lian Man'er was so considerate, Shen Jin was naturally happy. Little girl, where is there anything new that is not a daughter-in-law, not to mention that in front of Lian Man'er, Shen Jin didn't need to be restrained, so he looked at it one by one.

"Your brother and Mr. Lu have walked a lot of places this time." Shen Jin sighed.

"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded.

"Do you have all of these?" Shen Jin asked again.

"There are all, there are many more, there are bulky ones that I didn't bring to you, I'll tell you later, if you like it, I'll send someone to move it to you." Lian Man'er said.

"Your brother is so good to you." Shen Jin said.

"Hmm." Lian Man'er nodded in approval.

"Your brothers and sisters are in good shape." Shen Jin said again.

"Fifth sister, you don't have to envy me about this. Look at you, the sixth master, and the little ninth brother, they are not the same as us. Lian Man'er said.

Shen Jin smiled and glanced at Lian Man'er, there was evil Shen Jin didn't say it, her relationship with Shen Liu and Shen Qian was very good, but in the mansion, every move was constrained by rules. Shen Jin saw Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi getting along, but he was actually very envious of their sister and brother's affection.

"That's too." Shen Jin nodded, and then turned his head to look at the gift that Lian Man'er brought her.

Lian Man'er picked up boxes of rain flower stones, two inkstones with strange shapes, boxed bloodstone seal blanks, Taohuawu woodcut New Year paintings, feather fans, a set of purple sand tea sets, and a few embroideries, a pair of reed ......paintings, and finally a few bags of tea leaves from all over the world, and a few bags of preserved fruit of various colors.

Every time Shen Jin looked at it, Lian Man'er explained it to her, and told Shen Jin the interesting things that Wulang said, and later, before Lian Man'er could tell it, Shen Jin couldn't wait to ask her.

The two of them looked at things for a long time, Shen Jin was obviously in a very good mood, she gave the bags of candied fruit to the girl who was waiting in the house, and some of the rest of the things were ordered to be placed everywhere in the house, and some were put away.

Even the things sent by Man'er, Shen Jin especially liked the reed painting and a few bloodstones.

The reed painting, Shen Jin asked the girl who was waiting to quickly make a gauze silk cover, as for the bloodstone, Shen Jin couldn't help but fiddle with it, while telling Lian Man'er what kind of seal to make when he went back.

"Thank you very much for giving me these good things this time." Shen Jin said to Lian Man'er with a smile.

"It's not worth anything." Lian Man'er smiled, "I think the fifth sister must have these things, but what I gave them is naturally a piece of my heart." ”

"Mr. Lu and your brother are here?" Shen Jin asked.

Mr. Lu and Wulang entered the door just now, and Shen Jin should have heard the report a long time ago.

"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded, "My brother came to see Brother Xiaojiu, and I have to thank Mr. Chu personally." Mr. Lu and Mr. Chu are old friends, and they talked very speculatively that day, and this time it was a door-to-door visit. Mr. Lu and my brother asked me to disturb the fifth sister for them. ”

When Lian Man'er said this, she stood up and gave Shen Jin a blessing.

Shen Jin is a girl's house, she doesn't speak, and it is not easy for Mr. Lu and Wulang to ask to meet.

"Mr. Lu is known for his talent, and this huge garden also has his credit. Sixth brother often praises your brother, and now our two families are not outsiders...... In this way, please invite Mr. Lu and your brother to come over later. I'll take a cup of tea......" Shen Jin hurriedly pulled Lian Man'er to sit down beside her, her eyes turned slightly, as if she thought about it, and then said to Lian Man'er.

Shen Jinken was willing to see Mr. Lu and Gorou, and he was particularly kind to them. Naturally, there is a reason for this, Mr. Lu was convicted, and it was the Shen family who interceded and placed him here. Mr. Lu has contributed to the completion of Niangniang Palace and Nian Garden, which can be said to be doing things for the Shen family. Moreover, Mr. Lu has won the praise of the emperor, and will soon be entrusted with important tasks.

There is also Wulang, the relationship between Lian Man'er's family and the Shen family is not intimate, and Lian Man'er is here, so Shen Jin will say that he is not an outsider.

Shen Jin is not an ordinary girl of the Shen family, she wants to meet Mr. Lu and Wulang, which can represent the attitude of the Shen family.

Lian Man'er nodded naturally, she was happy to let the three of them meet.

Shen Jin is the future queen, Mr. Lu will be reused by the imperial court, and Gorou will also embark on a career in office.

The little girl went to the small mountain house to spread the word, and after a while, Shen Qian, Xiao Qi and Mr. Chu accompanied Mr. Lu and Wulang.

Mr. Lu and Wulang saluted Shen Jin, Shen Jin still returned the salute sideways, everyone sat down as guests, and the little girls brought tea and fruit.

Shen Jin had seen Mr. Lu once from afar, but to Goro, it was the first time they met, but they had been famous for a long time. For Lian Man'er's brother, Shen Jin couldn't help but take a few more looks. (To be continued)
