Listening to Xiao Qi say that she saw that the duck brought back by Gorou was very good-looking, Lian Man'er thought to herself, no matter how beautiful the duck is, can it be better than the swan, but listening to the joy of Gorou and Xiao Qi, she also became curious, so she said that she wanted to see it.

"I was going to show you that." Gorou laughed.

Leaving Mr. Lu and Lian Shouxin to talk in the house, Gorou, Lian Man'er, Xiaoqi and Shen Qian got up and came out of the house to see the ducks that Gorou had bought.

When Lian Man'er saw those ducks, his eyes lit up. There are about 20 ducks in total, all of them are white feathers, and there is no trace of variegation on the whole body, not to mention, the size and posture of the ducks are indeed much better than the local ducks.

Most of the local ducks in the Thirty Mile Camp are variegated and relatively small. Such ducks, duck meat is also delicious, but it is more used to lay eggs.

"This is Hepu duck, which my husband and I bought when we passed by Hepu." Goro said.

"Brother, how did you come up with the idea of buying these ducks back?" When Lian Man'er heard the three words Hepu duck, she felt a little familiar, but she didn't think much about it, but asked Wulang a little strangely.

Even though the duck is better looking and bigger than the local ducks, there is no need to buy it as a souvenir. A duck is not a daughter-in-law, not as good as a swan or a wild goose. Moreover, it is very inconvenient to carry this storage with such a long journey.

Gorou just laughed.

"This Hepu duck meat is very delicious, and my husband and I have eaten a lot of delicious food along the way, but when it comes to duck meat, there is no better duck than Hepu duck." Gorou said, "I don't think I can bring back the cooked duck meat, so I just bought a few ducks and brought them back to the kitchen, and you can taste them too." ”

"This Hepu duck is very famous." Gorou talked about the origin of the Hepu duck again, and it seems that this Hepu duck was first sacrificed by foreigners, and then it was bred in the Hepu generation, and finally became what it is now. "Mr. said that the duck eaten in the stable palace is this Hepu duck."

"Brother, you're so good." Xiao Qi was very happy.

Gorou went out of this trip, and he couldn't wait to bring back all the good things he saw and tasted to his parents, sisters, and younger siblings at home.

"Is it roast duck?" Lian Man'er frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully.

"There are also baked ones." Gorou nodded, "I'll call the kitchen to kill one, let's all have a taste." ”

"No, wait a minute." Lian Man'er hurriedly stopped Gorou.

"What's the matter, is it because this Hepu duck is so good-looking that I can't bear to eat it?" Gorou looked at Lian Man'er and asked with a smile, "It's okay, in addition to this duck, I also bought some duck eggs from Hepu duck and handed them over to the people in Zhuangzi to hatch, even if this Hepu duck settles down with us." ”

"Really, brother, what you said is true, did you really buy duck eggs and come back?" Lian Man'er was surprised and delighted when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you about this." Gorou was amused by Lian Man'er's eager expression.

I have to say that it was Lian Man'er's way of acting that influenced Goro. For example, when I go out, I will think about bringing gifts back to my family, and I will eat and play with all kinds of things. And that's not all. For example, corn, sweet potatoes, and when I see wheat, I want to bring it back.

Gorou knew that Hepu duck was delicious, and not only did he want to bring it back to his family to taste, but he also thought of raising this excellent duck breed at home.

"Then I'll see." Lian Man'er said with a smile.

Lian Man'er made her attitude clear, if she didn't let her see the duck eggs first, she wouldn't allow anyone to eat the Hepu duck. Shen Qian and Xiao Qi were watching Lian Man'er giggle from the side, and Wulang couldn't do anything about Lian Man'er.

In the end, Gorou really led Lian Man'er to look at the duck eggs he bought.

Gorou bought about 300 duck eggs, and although he was careful along the way, there were still bumps and losses. But in spite of this, there were still two hundred and sixty or seventy duck eggs in good condition. Lian Man'er secretly calculated in her heart, thinking that these duck eggs were almost enough to hatch ducks, so she happily asked the kitchen people to kill a duck.

To pick up Mr. Lu and Wulang, Shen Qian was naturally stayed, and Mr. Lu and Wulang also specially wrote a post, sent someone to Nianyuan, and picked up Mr. Chu.

This reception feast was divided into separate seats.

Lian Man'er deliberately ate a few more pieces of duck meat, which was really more delicate and delicious than the local duck meat. This made her even more determined to make her plan in her heart. After eating, before the guests left, Lian Man'er hurriedly instructed people to take good care of the Hepu ducks. As soon as the guests left, Lian Man'er hurriedly gathered the family together to discuss hatching ducks.

"It's a hot day, and duck eggs can't be put away, so if you want to hatch, you have to hurry up." Zhang nodded.

"There are so many eggs, how can we have so many chickens holding their nests?" Lian Man'er has filial piety.

"There's a way to do this." Lian Shouxin smiled and said, "In the Zhuangzi of our Luojia Village, there is a man named Dagui, and he and his daughter-in-law will hatch chickens and ducks." …… Every year, those who sell chicks and ducklings, where do they have old hens holding nests at home, all of which are hatched from hot kang. ”

But no, Lian Man'er choked her wrists, why did she ignore this matter.

"Dad, then this matter can't be delayed, let's quickly send someone to transfer Dagui and his daughter-in-law, just across the courtyard in front of us, and then match them with two helpers, and hatch these eggs as soon as possible." Lian Man'er said.

"Okay." Lian Shouxin nodded, got up and went out to arrange for someone to go to Luojia Village to pick up Dagui and Dagui's daughter-in-law.

"This Hepu duck is stronger than our local one, the meat is delicious, and the length is good-looking, but I don't know how many eggs are laid." Zhang said.

"Mother, let's raise this Hepu duck, not to let it lay eggs, my plan is to raise it about the same size, and sell it to the restaurant." Gorou said. That is, these Hepu ducks are not raised as egg-laying ducks, but as meat ducks.

"Yes, we can slowly build a big duck farm." Lian Man'er nodded.

"That's right, it's a duck farm." Gorou nodded in agreement, "Not only for our own restaurants, but also for the major restaurants in Jinyang County and Liaodong Mansion." ”

Lian Man'er pursed her lips, she had a different opinion about Gorou's plan for the second half.

"Brother, tell me, what is the way to eat the ducks you have eaten along the way?" Lian Man'er asked Gorou.

Gorou is willing to tell his family what he saw on the road, and the food section is no exception. After listening to Goro's story, the smile on Lian Man'er's face became stronger.

Gorou has eaten all the way, and the duck is made in a variety of ways, but there is no Lian Man'er's favorite "North Duck". Just now she saw those Hepu ducks, and heard Goro say that Hepu ducks are the most delicious, and even the ducks that are still tribute, so she already thought of "Beipu duck". The only worry is that there is already a "North Duck" in this world, and now that I listen to Goro's narration, this worry does not exist.

"It's good to sell meat duck to restaurants, but if we can make better Hepu duck, wouldn't it be better." Lian Man'er said with a smile.

"Of course it's better." Gorou said, think about the steamed buns of Renji, and know what kind of benefits it will bring if you can really make ducks that are better than other people's homes. "That's it, it's harder than just selling meat ducks."

What Gorou means is that it is not easy to make duck that is better than everyone else.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are people with hearts." Lian Man'er said, "We have so many food lists, as well as our mother's craftsmanship, try more, you can always try it." …… I just can't try it, and we won't delay selling meat ducks when the time comes. ”

"That's right." Gorou nodded.

"Brother, you will be in charge of tasting it then." Lian Man'er said again.

"It's a good thing, can I still say yes." Gorou laughed.

Lian Man'er loved to eat "Beijiao Duck" in her previous life, and she also visited the kitchen of a famous roast duck restaurant, so she has a certain understanding of the process of roast duck. Now all she has to do is memorize these processes and then perfect them in practice. When the art of roast duck matured, she was able to start her own roast duck restaurant.

Lian Man'er was planning in her heart, and at the same time took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper. Not only is it necessary to create a roast duck restaurant, but also the eiderdown of Hepu duck should be utilized. Just now, she specially asked the kitchen staff to bring her the eiderdown of the slaughtered Hepu duck. The eiderdown is white and silky, and it is excellent for bedding and clothing for down.

The use of bird feathers to make clothes has a long history. For example, the cranes of the Wei and Jin dynasties, as well as the process of making bird feathers into silk threads and spinning them into cloth, also existed in this dynasty, but they were extremely precious and precious.

The substitution of duck down for cotton wool does not require such a complicated process, and the clothes or bedding made are softer and warmer than cotton wool. Its sales are definitely no problem, and Lian Man'er is even confident that it will become a fashionable product. Moreover, the raw material is taken from the waste material of roast duck, which greatly reduces costs and increases profit margins.

planned in her heart, but even Man'er didn't tell her plan in one go. That night, Lian Man'er checked the books until midnight, and was urged by Lian Zhi'er several times, and even Zhang's came to urge her, so she was willing to put down the books and pens in her hand and go to sleep.

The next day, Lian Man'er took the books she had flipped through and pointed them out to Gorou, declaring that she had come up with an excellent way to cook duck.

"Just make roast duck." Lian Man'er told the family. Roast duck is not unusual, and there are all kinds of roasting methods, there are relevant records on the menu, and there are more or less detailed records in other books. Lian Man'er picked a few, added and changed a few more, and it became a special roast duck recipe.

"To make this roast duck, we have to make a stove first." Lian Man'er pointed to the first item on his plan and said. (To be continued)
