"Mother, just give it to me. At present, you can't do anything to have a good relationship with people first. Those classmates of mine have heads and faces in their families. I'm on good terms with them, and I'm sure I'll be able to find some way out in the future. Besides, you can't bear to let your son lose face outside, everyone invites each other to eat and drink, but I didn't say it because I was shy in my pocket, how should my classmates look at me? ”

The Zhao family loves this child the most, and when he says this, where will there be anyone who is unwilling.

Give some silver, let the son grow face outside, and make friends with the powerful, there is no harm in all benefits.

And he took out two taels of silver from the box and put them in his hand.

"It's not easy to save some money at home with some flowers. Your third brother should also say goodbye, and you, you are almost old enough to start a family, these silver coins are all silver saved for your brother's wife. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yu immediately said: "Mother, I have my own plans for my marriage, don't just set me a country girl, then I'm not happy." ”

Zhao's eyebrows raised: "The country girl also wants to match you?" It's a dream! My mother has planned it, and when I go back and wait for you to win the show, I will ask someone to go to the county to find a girl with a good family background for you. We don't want big families, those daughters, we have to provide for them when they marry back, we have to marry the kind of family rich, but there is no big interest, such a girl is easy to pinch in the palm of her hand. In the future, your life will be smooth. ”

Lin Yu thought about the girl he met on the road in the afternoon, and felt that these conditions were very consistent with what his mother said, so he pretended to say casually:

"Mother, when I came back today, I met a girl on the road, the girl's dress is similar to the conditions you said, do you want to ask someone to inquire?"

When Zhao heard this, he immediately became vigilant: "What girl? Which one? Did she take the initiative to talk to you? ”

Lin Yu shook his head: "No, I just saw it on the road, and I felt that the conditions were okay." Mother, you ask someone to help me inquire about which village this girl is from, what is the situation at home, if she hasn't settled on someone, she will ......"

As he spoke, Lin Yu's face was still flushed.

Zhao stared at him for a long time, and asked unwillingly, "What does that girl look like?" What's your name? ”

Lin Yu shook his head regretfully: "I don't know what her name is, so I don't have time to ask." But she was very good-looking, dressed in light green, and rode a horse. There are not many girls who can ride horses, and there are few families who can afford to buy horses, so it should be good to inquire. ”

After hearing this, Zhao finally made sure that there was really nothing between Lin Yu and the girl, so he was relieved.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to ask when I go back, but it's not necessarily if I can ask."

Lin Yu kept nodding: "Well, my son can save it." ”

Lin Ruan didn't know that he was being remembered, so after turning the day, he rode a horse and took Xiuxiu and Liu Ya to the county.

She has to teach Zhang Dewang how to roast duck quickly, and the hot pot restaurant will open in a few days, and the roast duck restaurant should also be open at the same time.

When Zhang Dewang heard that Lin Ruan was going to teach him how to make roast duck, he immediately cheered up and followed Lin Ruan into the kitchen, and Lin Yiping was also called up to help him.

Lin Ruan wiped the neck of the duck he bought, added a handful of alkali to the boiling water, put the duck in and scalded it for a while, and soon faded the duck feathers.

Zhang Dewang and Lin Yiping were stunned.

This duck is the most difficult to clean up, with thick fur and a lot of fluff, and it usually takes an hour to slaughter it to get it neatly clean, but when it comes to their eldest girl, it is so easy to clean it up. This speed is too fast.

However, surprise is surprise, but the two of them did not dare to be distracted at all, and carefully watched the movements in Lin Ruan's hands.

I saw her pick up the knife, quickly remove the duck's claws, and then make a small hole in the duck's body and take out the internal organs one by one.

Mix salt, cooking wine, and a little soy sauce and spread it on the duck, then hang it in a ventilated place and let the water on the skin dry.

This process takes a lot of time, and Lin Ruan asked the two of them to hold a fan and fan the duck to achieve a quick air-drying effect.

After explaining to them, Lin Ruan went out of the kitchen to the yard and looked at Lin Yi's progress.

As soon as she arrived at the store just now, she instructed a few people to get an oven, but because of the limited time, the oven had to be replaced by a large iron cylinder for the time being. The bottom of the iron cylinder is sealed, and the empty space is left above, a thick lid is added to facilitate the duck to be hung inside, and several furnace holes are chiseled out on the cylinder to facilitate the addition of firewood for ventilation.

Lin Yi's hands and feet are very sharp, and according to Lin Ruan's requirements, this temporary oven is made very meticulous and exquisite.

Lin Ruan nodded with satisfaction.

When the oven was ready, Lin Ruan asked Lin Yi to carry the stove to the kitchen door and raise the fire to preheat it.

About half an hour later, Lin Yiping came out of the kitchen and said, "Big girl, you're almost done." ”

Lin Ruan went in to take a look, nodded, lifted the kettle on the stove, poured the boiling water inside through the hole where the internal organs were taken, and tied the mouth again. Then mix the honey into water and brush it on the skin of the duck.

Zhang Dewang asked a little puzzled: "Big girl, since you have to brush water on the skin, why do you have to dry the skin?" ”

Isn't that redundant?

Lin Nguyen explains: "By doing this, the skin of the duck can be thinner and crispier. The purpose of adding water to the belly of the duck is to keep the duck from losing water and drying out during the roasting process, so that the duck meat remains tender. ”

After Zhang Dewang listened, he nodded again and again, indicating that he understood.

After all the pre-roasting processes of the duck were completed, Lin Ruan carried it upside down and hung it into the furnace and added fruit wood branches to it with his own hands.

While roasting, he carefully explained to Zhang Dewang the control skills of the heat.

After about half an hour of roasting, a smell of duck mixed with fruity aroma wafted out of the oven.

Lin Ruan smelled the smell, hooked the corners of his mouth, and it was done.

In the kitchen, Lin Yiping also made lotus leaf cakes according to Lin Ruan's request. And he cut the strips of green onions and cucumbers,

Remove the brightly coloured and fragrant roast duck from the oven, place it on the table, and make thin slices with a blade.

Take a lotus leaf cake, serve it with a slice of duck meat with sweet noodle sauce, put a little green onion and cucumber strips, roll it up, and hand it to Zhang Dewang and Lin Yiping.

The two hurriedly thanked Lin Ruan, and then one of them took one, put it in his mouth, and savored it.

"Fragrant, really fragrant. The duck skin is crispy, the duck meat is tender and smooth, the green onion is fragrant, and the cucumber strips are greasy, which is really delicious! ”

Lin Ruan himself tasted a few pieces, which were indeed good, but there was still a gap compared to the most authentic taste he had ever eaten in his previous life.

However, even so, her roast duck is definitely the only one.

Who let these ancients not eat it? This gives her a place to take advantage.

"Uncle Wang, do you remember the essentials?"

Zhang Dewang nodded again and again: "I have written down all the words of the eldest girl." ”
