Chapter 153: Pickled Duck

In the blink of an eye, it is about to reach the wax moon, and the ducks raised by Yunzhu are roughly four or five catties, the heavy ones are six or seven catties, and the thinner ones are also four catties.

There are still about 30 of them. These ducks have to eat when they open their mouths, and they need a lot of food. Yunzhu wondered if he was going to sell them.

When Mrs. Feng heard that Yunzhu was going to sell ducks, she also agreed, so she helped to inquire about the dealers who collected ducks and inquired about the market. After all, Mrs. Feng also knew a few vendors in the bazaar, and asked someone to ask, and learned that this year's ducks were not easy to sell, and they were two cents cheaper per catty than last year. Although the matter of the two is not big, the sum of more than thirty ducks is not a small number. I asked around, but the price I gave was not high.

She returned home disheartened and told Yunzhu.

After hearing this, Yunzhu said, "Otherwise, don't sell it." ”

"If you don't sell it, you can't do it. There is no market after the turn of the year. ”

"What then?" Yunzhu thought about it, since he couldn't sell it alive for a price, he would either slaughter it and process it himself to see if he could improve a little.

Yun Zhu told Feng Lao Niang about this idea, and Feng Lao Niang agreed. She believes in Yunzhu's ability, after all, Yunzhu is a good hand at making food.

How to deal with these ducks has become the first problem in front of Yunzhu. It should be delicious and easy to preserve. Yunzhu wants to pour it for pickling, and there is a plate duck on the market. She can also marinate to create a unique flavor.

Because of this, she also took out the money, went to the street to buy a duck and came back, cut it into small pieces and stew it with stick greens. The soup looks snow-white and smells fragrant.

The duck was served. Yunzhu invited everyone to taste it and asked everyone about the characteristics of duck meat.

First of all, Xiangmei expressed her opinion: "It's okay to look at the meat, it's just too firewood." And then there's saltiness. ”

Mrs. Feng said: "Stuff your teeth, I wonder if it's too dry." In addition to the salty taste, it seems to be so-so, do you also want to make plate duck? ”

Yunzhu smiled: "Isn't this groping?" What do you think of peace? ”

Ping An smiled: "I just ate it, and I didn't taste anything else, and I said that it was cooked by your own hands." It's all delicious. ”

Yun Zhu glanced at him, thinking that he hadn't provided her with any useful information, and asked Tian Tian again. Tian Tian said crisply: "It's not delicious." But I can't say where it's not delicious, and the bacon made by my mother is not fragrant. ”

Yunzhu bacon is marinated well, after her daughter's reminder, Yunzhu wants to see if she can sum up her experience or something.

She carefully researched a secret recipe. Another prescription was issued. Knowing that the medical hall next door must have made up for the incense she needed, she took the prescription and went straight to the Tu Ji Medical Center in the town.

She bought a lot of astermom, thick cloth, cloves, etc., and weighed some pepper and Shu pepper. The young man who picked up the medicine for her smiled and talked to her: "Does the lady open a restaurant?" ”

Yunzhu smiled and shook her head.

"Where do you need to eat so much?"

Yunzhu urged him to settle the account quickly.

The young man handed the slip to the bookkeeper and let him settle the accounts. Yunzhu waited beside him, and heard someone talking behind the curtain, and after a while, the curtain was lifted, and someone came out of it. That person was none other than Yuan Muhua.

Yuan Muhua looked at Yunzhu to buy medicine. I was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Song Niangzi uncomfortable?" ”

Yunzhu saw that it was him. He shook his head with a smile and said, "There's nothing uncomfortable, it's very good." ”

"Who is sick?"

"It's all good, all the herbs I bought are for curing meat."

Yuan Muhua realized that it was a false alarm, and he seemed a little out of shape. The account room here has also been calculated, and Yunzhu has paid all the money. The two walked out of the Tu Ji Medical Hall side by side.

"I don't think you have these things over there, so I had to go to the town to buy them, but I didn't expect you to worry about Dr. Yuan."

"Well, it's a shame to say. It's good that everyone is safe. Recently, the weather has changed a little, and many people have been infected, so I am also busy sneaking here to take a look, or looking for Tu Chun to ask for a medicine, but I didn't expect him to have it here, and I also asked him to help me go to the city to ask. ”

"Oh, no wonder."

The two walked all the way and talked all the way, and they didn't separate until the intersection of the road, and it was Yuan Muhua who took the initiative to go separately. After all, Yunzhu's identity is different now, and if he gets too close to her, it is easy to attract criticism. Although he didn't care, he had to take into account Yunzhu's feelings.

Yun Zhu figured out the ratio of these incense medicines that he bought, and then found a stone mortar to come out. She didn't have much strength in her hands, and after licking for a while, she blistered. When he came back from work safely and saw it, he took the initiative to take the stone mallet and said with a smile: "You didn't do the hard work, I'll come." ”

I prepared the spices, scooped up the salt, and the two were proportioned. Yunzhu said to Ping'an, "You can kill a duck first." I'll experiment and see if I can't make a decision. ”

"Good Ratcha." Ping An replied very happily. Help Yunzhu kill a duck of about five catties. Yunzhu cleaned the ducks and hung them in a ventilated place to dry. After a day, wait until the water vapor has dried before pickling.

After pickling, it must be dried and ventilated, put into a vat for fermentation, and finally control the moisture. After tossing back and forth for more than ten days, the duck was finally able to eat.

Yunzhu also stewed with stick greens, and Tian Tian ran in when he smelled the aroma.

"Mother is ready to eat again."

"You're just like a little glutton." Yunzhu smiled and rubbed the hair in front of Tian Tian's forehead.

When the pot was served, everyone said it tasted good.

Yunzhu smiled: "If it's really good, I can start doing a lot of it." ”

"If you do that, you'll definitely be able to sell. It's just that we don't have a stall at home, let alone a storefront, so do we have to set up a stall like before? "Mrs. Feng wants to be cold in winter, and it is not a good errand to stay outside for a day.

Indeed, Yunzhu is also worried about sales.

At this moment, Ping An opened his mouth: "I heard that Qingshan said that his sister opened a grocery store in the city, or I should ask him if he can bring some over to help sell it when he sees it." ”

"That's an idea. Then let's kill half of them first, and when it's done, we will give one to the Wang family first, and then ask them for help. ”

"Qingshan and I are old friends, so it's impossible not to help. Feel relieved! ”

Just do it, Feng Lao Niang and Xiangmei can help. More than a dozen ducks have been slaughtered, and they are hanging under the eaves to dry for water vapor, and they are very good-looking. Yunzhu found some bamboo strips to completely open the duck's belly so that there would not be water in it.

The ducks were packed for several days before they were salted in the tank.

"How much can these dozen or so ducks sell for?"

Yunzhu lowered his head and counted for a while: "I bought it outside, and it is about the same size, and it only costs more than thirty yuan." It's not too expensive for us to sell for 40 wen. No bargaining is accepted. As long as the reputation goes out, it's easy to do. ”

Feng Lao Niang thought, the price of a forty wen is a bit high, if it can't be sold, will you have to eat plate duck all the time in the next year? She looked at her daughter-in-law with some confusion. (To be continued......)
