Chapter 197: Seeing Death as Home
Chen Jingting cried with a sad face: "Duran, it's stinky here, how can we get down." ”
"I didn't force you, you looked at me like this, as if I had wronged you, if you don't want to, please go back now." Duran shook his face and stopped looking at him.
"Okay, I'll come in!" Chen Jingting took a deep breath, opened the fence of the duck pen, and stepped in without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Hening promised to help Du Lan, naturally he couldn't retreat at this time, the gentleman couldn't chase after him, he couldn't break his promise, so he followed Chen Jingting and stepped in.
The ducks in the circle were frightened, fluttering their clumsy wings and quacking, and Chen Jingting and Xu Hening avoided in fear of being hit by the ducks.
Du Lan and Du Liang stood outside the duck pen, looking at the picture of the two nobles in brocade clothes in front of them being chased by the ducks in the dirty duck pen, and couldn't help laughing.
This laughter woke up Chen Xu and the others, they were here to catch ducks, how could they be chased by ducks? Figuring out the purpose, the two stopped twisting, and grabbed the duck one by one.
Chen Jingting was already agile, and after overcoming the psychological barrier, he started work with his left and right hands at the same time, grabbed one by one, and the joy of victory couldn't help but appear on his face, and handed the captured duck to Du Liang, "Give, catch it out." ”
Du Liang happily caught the duck and praised it sincerely: "Brother Chen is so skilled, you will have to catch a full circle of ducks in a few strokes." ”
Xu Hening bent his waist and stared intently at a stupid duck that ran the slowest and swayed, and found the right time to make a sharp move, and immediately a smile appeared on the white handsome face: "Heh, this stupid duck is so easy to catch." ”
Chen Jingting heard his pride and couldn't help but sarcastically mock him: "You can also catch some clumsy ducks." ”
Within a moment, there were already six or seven ducks in the cage, and then look at the two, they have begun to enjoy the fun of grabbing ducks, and they are very happy to catch them, Duran saw this, and hurriedly shouted to stop: "Enough is enough, let's catch a few ducks to test the taste, more is a waste of physical strength, wait for me to roast the duck tonight, please taste the two of you first." ”
When the two heard this, they hurriedly withdrew their hands and jumped out of the duck pen.
"Liangzi, Jingting, Brother Xu, you come with me, I will teach you to kill ducks." Duran said, grabbing a quacking duck from the bamboo cage and walking towards the tree pit.
It was no different from killing a chicken, Duran wiped the duck's neck with a kitchen knife, and in an instant, a touch of red erupted from the duck's neck, and the duck struggled a few times, and soon stopped moving.
The bloody scene made Xu Hening nause.
Chen Jingting was very interested, and Du Liang planned to help his sister more, so he also watched it seriously.
"You see, this killing duck is simple, one will kill you, but the next thing is a bit cumbersome, the duck must remove the palm, tongue, duck feathers must be plucked clean, and then take the internal organs from the knife edge of the duck's neck, rinse it and blow it, so that the duck's whole body is in a full state, and then hand it over to me." Duran said lightly.
Xu Hening felt that he really couldn't do the job of slaughtering ducks, so he took the initiative to pluck duck feathers.
After Du Lan finished handling a duck, he handed it to Xu Hening casually: "Brother Xu, then I'll bother you." ”
"Hmm." Xu Hening looked at the bloody dead duck, swallowed a few times with difficulty and was about to vomit out of the saliva, and reluctantly took it in his hand.
Duran smiled sweetly at him, and in response, Xu Hening also stiffened and smiled a few times.
Duran turned his head to look at the other two and asked with a serious face, "Can you guys?" ”
"No problem." Du Liang replied.
The corners of Chen Jingting's lips twitched, "No problem." ”
Duran handed them the kitchen knives, washed his hands and went back to the room to make the sauce.
"Hey, how do you kill this duck?" Chen Jingting asked Du Liang with a knife on the neck of the duck, and as soon as Du Lan's front foot left, he was completely exposed.
Du Liang twisted his eyebrows puzzled: "Didn't you understand just now?" ”
"Nonsense, if I understand, sir, do I still need to ask you? I will wipe my neck, but what should I do with it after wiping? ”
In other words, in the past, when dealing with the enemy, he shot quickly and accurately, and it was over with one move, and now the duck had to be dug up and the internal organs had to be dug up, and the key was not to disembowel the belly, how could he.
"Oh, that's ......"
Du Liang had helped his mother kill pheasants before, so killing ducks was no problem, and after dealing with it, he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Jingting: "That's it." ”
Chen Jingting wiped the duck's neck, quickly killed the duck with Du Liang, and then handed the killed duck to Xu Hening to pluck the duck feathers.
The three of them joined hands, and after a while, the duck was cleaned, and the last process was left, Chen Jingting and Xu Hening suddenly looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Du Liang hooked the corners of his lips and looked at them knowingly, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"This ......" Chen Jingting grabbed the white-washed duck's neck, looked at the duck's head with a crooked neck, and couldn't get out of his mouth. Do you really want to blow a duck with your beak? That's disgusting, isn't it?
Think he is a dignified seven-foot man, and he has never kissed a girl's mouth, so he wants to kiss a dead duck? Isn't that ridiculous?
Xu Hening thought the same way, frowned, and looked at Chen Jingting with a sad face, not knowing how to speak.
"Otherwise, leave the blowing work to me, you two have noble backgrounds, and you can't lose your identity in front of your sister." Du Liang deliberately made fun of him, grabbed a cleaned dead duck from the vegetable pot, and blew it mouth to mouth.
Chen Jingting was stunned, his personable, heroic son of the General's Mansion would be looked down upon by a hairy boy, how could his strong self-esteem be trampled on by a hairy child?
Immediately, his eyes widened, as if he was dead, he grabbed the duck's neck, and blew it on the knife, to blow the whole duck, it would take a lot of lung capacity, Du Liang and Chen Jingting both blew their faces and their necks were thick.
After the two blew the two ducks, they stared at the motionless Xu Hening panting, and raised their chins defiantly.
"How? Master Xu? If you really can't do it, go back to your Xu Mansion and be a noble son. Chen Jingting couldn't help but make fun of him.
Du Liang echoed on the side: "That's it, Brother Xu, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, you look at Chen Gongzi, mighty and unyielding, he is my role model, I will study hard with Brother Chen in the future." ”
Duran looked out through the window, the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook, she didn't mean to play tricks on these two nobles, but to let them understand that there is no unearned lunch in the world, and you can only have enough food and clothing by doing it yourself.
In the courtyard, the argument between Chen Jingting and Xu Hening soon spread.
Xu Hening said bitterly: "Let's start with it, I'll be responsible for plucking duck feathers, and these ducks are all plucked by me,"
"If we only kill the ducks, aren't we all blowing? What Duran just taught us is not just to kill ducks and pluck their feathers. Chen Jingting gloated at Xu Hening.
"That's right, Brother Xu, I still washed this duck." Du Liang agreed.
Duran heard their argument and walked out of the room, "Everyone has difficulties to carry together, and they have blessings to enjoy together, this roast duck method is really complicated, and I will have to wait for the air to dry after I finish wiping the sauce, if we don't work together, I'm afraid we will really have to wait until dawn." Besides, do you really want to give up halfway? The ducks have been caught, the blood has been stained, and you are only left with this last process. It's really like that sentence, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. ”
Sure enough, it was Duran's method that worked, Xu Hening stiffened a few times in embarrassment, "Duran, I'm not afraid of hard work, it's just that this pro-duck ......"
"What's the call of a duck? This is called blowing, Brother Xu, and it is not for you to blow at the mouth of the duck, but at the knife edge of the duck's neck. Duran had no choice but to hold his forehead, he didn't want to do it, she didn't force it, she just said that it was a pro-duck, and she couldn't listen to it.
When she officially opens, she will inevitably blow ducks every day, can she accept the term pro-duck?
There is no way, Du Lan can't be looked down upon, Xu Hening also looked like he was sacrificing, grabbed the duck's neck, and blew it down at the knife.
After everyone blows the ducks, Duran takes the ducks into the room and starts to pound them, blanch the ducks with boiling water, mix the juice of honey bean sauce and cooking wine and smear the duck's body, and then cut the fruit into cubes and stuff them into the duck's beak to maintain the fruity aroma of the roast duck and suck out the peculiar smell. Hang it in the yard to dry naturally.
In the meantime, she hurried to make the sauce, and after about half an hour, the sauce on the duck's body was dry, and she was taking it into the room, blocking the anus, and filling the duck's belly with water. In the free time of drying the ducks, Duran asked Du Liang and the two sons to renovate the oven where they baked the reunion cake last time, and build another layer of stone bricks in the stove, so that the roast duck does not touch the open flame, so that the roast duck does not lose moisture.
After all the preparations were completed, Duran hung the duck into the furnace, and Du Liang was responsible for lighting the fire, and it took about half an hour to turn over the furnace.
During this period, Duran was not idle, she made a wine and honey marinade, and when the duck meat was fully cooked, she poured the marinade into sugar, rice vinegar, and refined salt while it was hot, and smeared it on the roast duck.
Du Liang, Chen Jingting and Xu Hening were simply eye-opening, they didn't eat less ducks, even less ducks made of various tricks, and roast ducks were also no problem, but Du Lan's approach really surprised them.
