Chapter 132: Saltwater Duck

"Go, go! You don't have to come over for a while, just let your mother take the chopsticks back! With such a little bit, a few of us big men, we can do it in a while! Liu Pei said, poured half a bowl of duck blood stewed tofu, soaked the cake in it, and snorted and ate it very fragrantly.

Yu Hai also quite agreed with his eldest brother's words, and said to Xiaocao: "Hurry up and take your eldest aunt back to eat, be careful that the food is cold." ”

After eating, Xiaocao put all his energy into making saltwater duck. The salted duck she made was improved according to the recipe of the Nanjing saltwater duck in the previous life, after all, the seasonings and spices at this time were not as complete as in the previous life. However, she found that using Lingshi water to make marinade can improve the taste of marinated vegetables and add more flavor.

Looking at the time, the process of marinating and marinating has been completed. Xiaocao looked outside like a thief, and saw that the eldest aunt and Xiaolian, who had come back from selling braised vegetables, were busy in the vegetable field, so she summoned the little mending stone with confidence.

[Why do you call this god stone out? A golden lightning bolt rushed into the kitchen, and the tsundere's voice appeared in Xiaocao's mind.

Yu Xiaocao bent down and held the little guy in the palm of his hand, gently smoothed the fur for it, and smiled flatteringly. Xiao Mending Tianshi squinted his eyes comfortably, snorted, and said, "Say, what's the trouble yet? 】

Ever since this thing heard that the emperor with the pseudonym of the fifth master called himself "master", it also called himself "master" from time to time, and he felt quite stylish.

"One of my two ducks just needs to be dried a little, almighty Tangyuan, do me a favor?" Yu Xiaocao scratched the little kitten's chin with her fingers, and her flattering demeanor was overflowing.

[Hmph! This little thing, also to bother this god stone? Although the little mending stone was scratched comfortably, there was impatience in his tone.

[For the sake of your good service to the master, I will reluctantly help you again! ] Not an example! The little golden milk cat waved its paws, and one of the pickled ducks quickly dehydrated and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiaocao saw that the fire was almost over, and hurriedly shouted to stop. If the wind is too dry, it will also affect the taste of the salted duck.

At this time, the men who had gone down to the ground returned. I only heard Liu Pei's big voice babbling: "Sister, your sweet potatoes didn't have time to raise seedlings, right?" It doesn't matter, if you have less land, just come from our house, and you won't delay planting. ”

Yu Hai gulped and drank for a while, before he smiled and said, "We are not going to plant sweet potatoes." Cao'er said to try to grow some watermelons. I'm asking the owner of the town's delicacies to help me find seeds! ”

"Watermelon? Is that thing enough? Neither of them had ever heard of this, so they couldn't help but ask in unison. There is no way, the dealer is still most concerned about filling the stomach.

However, Yu Jiang often runs outside, his eyes are more lively, and he has heard of watermelons. He also asked with some concern, "I know that watermelon is a kind of fruit." But second brother, we haven't heard of a watermelon, what if the climate is not suitable and the grains are not harvested? ”

"No, it won't! I have faith in our grass! "The main reason is that the Yu family has made some money in business recently, and they don't live on these three acres of poor land, and Yu Hai unconsciously has confidence.

Yu Jiang also felt that his little niece seemed to be very capable, so he stopped persuading and said with a smile: "That's fine!" I'm waiting to try something new! ”

"Uncle Santang, you have to taste the freshness behind! Isn't this, saltwater duck, ever heard of? Taste a few more pieces later! Xiaocao held the little golden cat, poked her head out of the kitchen, made a grimace at him, and said with a grin.

"Saltwater duck? I haven't really eaten it, is it delicious? Yu Jiang thought of the duck blood tofu and tomato egg soup at noon, and saliva began to flood his mouth again.

Yu Xiaocao cocked his tail quite arrogantly and said: "Xiaocao's product must be a high-quality product!" This is a dish developed for Zhen Yu Lou, can it be bad? ”

"What? Zhen Yulou has come to ask you for a recipe again? Selling roast chicken, how much money they made, but your family didn't get a single one. Now and can't be cheap for them. You sell them a saltwater duck and give you a share of the silver! "Yu Jiang is quite business-minded!

Yu Xiaocao also felt that it was cost-effective to buy out without a share, and lowered her head to think about the feasibility of this matter. Yu Hai felt very embarrassed, after all, people usually take care of them on Wednesday, so sit on the ground and start the price like this, okay?

At this time, Yu Xiaocao nodded slowly and said, "What Uncle Santang said is true!" A duck is divided into a penny, and it should be no problem to sell at least thirty or fifty of them a day. In this way, we will be able to divide three or five taels of silver a day, and we will have more than one hundred taels a month, and a year...... Wow! I really think our recipe is sold too cheap!! ”

Yu Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "A penny of silver, is it too much?" ”

Yu Jiang didn't think so, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Second brother, do you know how many roast chickens are sold in Zhenyulou?" The youngest one costs five taels of silver! Five taels of silver!! The cost of a chicken is only a few dozen cents at most, you see, this is a hundred times the profit!! I want a penny, I think it's less!! ”

Thinking about the sales of Zhenyulou roast chicken and the profits created every day, Yu Jiang is not worth it for his second brother!! If there was a share, the second brother's family would have become the richest man in Dongshan Village a long time ago!! What a loss!!

"Okay, you guys hurry up and wash your hands, we have to rush back after dinner!" Evening food in this era is usually around 4 p.m. Han calculated the distance back, and he could almost rush back to the village after dark. Tomorrow, I will have to cultivate my own land!

For dinner, in addition to a large plate of fatty and tender salted duck, there are also "stir-fried green tomatoes", "scrambled duck eggs with sharp peppers", "cold and tender beans", "stir-fried lettuce with oyster sauce", and the soup is a light "fungus and egg drop soup". The staple food is brown rice and sorghum. The amount of each dish is quite a lot, after all, the amount of food for a few big men is not ordinary!

"Sister, your little grass is really capable. The work on the stove, those of us who have been doing it for more than 20 years, can't compare to her! These dishes make people drool when they smell it! Han looked at Xiaocao with a sigh, if she had such a capable girl, even if she didn't have a son, it wouldn't be a big deal!

After Han entered the door of Liu's house, he gave birth to three daughters in a row. Although her father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything, it was a big heart disease in her heart. As she grew older, she gradually died of the heart to give birth to a son. But when she saw that someone else had children and daughters, her heart felt like she had been poked by a needle, and it hurt to the bone.

Liu Pei knows his daughter-in-law best, and when he saw her lonely eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and immediately interrupted: "Eat, eat!" Looking at Xiaocao's craftsmanship, you can eat two big bowls without being hungry! ”

Mu Ne's Liu Han spoke loudly: "Sister, your family's conditions are not good, they are all your own family, why do you make so much food?" A few pieces of coarse grain cakes, a plate of pickles, and that's enough! Don't bring famine for our meal......"

Liu looked at his brothers with emotion, with a soft smile on the corner of his lips, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry!" One or two meals won't break ours! The duck and duck eggs are given by others, and the vegetables and other vegetables are picked in the field, and it doesn't cost a lot of money. Eat boldly with confidence! ”

Hearing her say this, several old men stopped twisting, and one of them held a large coarse porcelain bowl filled with spiky rice, and threw off his arms and ate it in a big gulp.

The salted duck skin is white and the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious. The table was full of praises of "fragrant", "so tender" and "so delicious". Yu Jiang solemnly reminded Xiaocao again that this duck will definitely be a big seller, and she must mention the matter of sharing with Zhenyulou!

Yu Xiaocao nodded again and again in agreement, thinking about whether to go to town in person tomorrow, bring the saltwater duck to Wednesday to taste less, and ask about watermelon seeds.

The family was satisfied. Soon after the meal, the aunts and uncles took their leave. They have to climb several mountains to return to the village, and it will take an hour and a half for those who are used to walking mountain roads, and it should be dark when they get home!

Xiaocao cut the remaining saltwater duck in half, and asked Xiaolian to send half of it to Mao's, and told her that the saltwater duck was cut into thin slices and steamed to eat, and it tasted very good. It's the same taste as the salted duck I just ate.

The rest of the saltwater duck is hung under the eaves. Now the temperature at night is still relatively low, and it will not change the taste after leaving it overnight.

Early the next morning, Yu Xiaocao got up and told her father and mother that she was going to the town, and by the way, in the evening, she would bring back the little stone that should be resting again.

Because of Xiaocao's ability and sophistication, Yu Hai and his wife gradually stopped treating her as a child. If there is anything at home, I will discuss it with my youngest daughter. If they have a disagreement, they will also unconsciously consider the advice of their youngest daughter.

Today, Yu Hai decided to go to the dock to sell braised vegetables by himself, and let Xiaolian accompany Cao'er to the town. The two sisters have a companion, and they are not lonely on the road.

Yu Xiaocao went back to the house to get some silver, carried the other half of the duck, and drove the donkey with Xiaolian and went out. As soon as I went out, I saw Mao hurriedly trotting over, saw the sisters and the donkey behind them, and glanced at the half-pulled duck in Xiaocao's hand, and suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and asked knowingly: "Xiaocao, Xiaolian, where are you two sisters going to go?" ”

"Aunt Qian, we have something to do to go to town!" Xiaolian replied politely.

Mao endured it, but he still couldn't help it, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaocao, what your aunt entrusted to you, do you see ......?"

"Auntie, what do you think of the half of the duck I gave you yesterday?" Xiaocao didn't answer her, but asked rhetorically.

Mao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Who is willing to eat such a good thing?" When I prepare for the guests at home, I take them out and eat them. Didn't Xiaolian say that she could put it for a while? ”
