Chapter Ninety-Nine: Nanfeng Roast Duck

Anyway, Cheng Ze has already asked for a stall in the market, just set up a small stall, no need to rent any shop, if it sells well, this batch of ducks will be bought in half a month.

"That's right, it's not hot at night, and it's not a matter if the ducks are more to dry", Chen Jiahua was looking forward to it, and felt hopeful when she saw the five ducks hanging neatly in front of her.

"Dad, mother, cousin, how much do we buy a duck?" Qiao Le didn't care about anything else, he cared about how much money the duck could buy.

The usual live duck is only six or seven wen a catty, this duck is about six catties, how can it cost thirty or forty wen a piece, so how to sell the cooked duck?

"Fifteen yuan a catty", Hua Banxia directly gave a number, fifteen yuan a pound is already very cheap.

"Ahh It's expensive", Qiao Da and a few people couldn't believe it, it only cost a few dollars to sell it to the restaurant, why is it expensive to sell it yourself?

"It's not expensive at all, and you'll know if it's worth it when you're done roasting it later!" Hua Banxia is very confident, the charm of roast duck is wonderful!

"Sister, Qingqing is so hungry", when it comes to eating, Hua Qingqing must definitely participate.

Hua Banxia smiled helplessly, who let this little girl know that there was roast duck to eat at night, so she didn't eat lunch, and just waited for the roast duck.

"Okay, okay, the time is almost the same, the ducks can enter the furnace", most of the day, the ducks are almost drying, and the fire on the stove has been burning to maintain the temperature in the furnace.

"That's it, I'm going to roast the duck", Qiao Zheng moved his ass outside, put on his shoes and walked towards the stove.

Hua Banxia didn't move the nest at all, but used a bamboo pole to hang the duck in the stove, which didn't need her to do anything.

It's only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's early for dinner, but everyone hasn't eaten much for lunch, and they're all hungry, and it's estimated that it's five o'clock when the duck is roasted, so let's eat it as dinner.

"Okay, then I'll fry two dishes, let's have dinner by the way", there are Chen Jiahua and Tian Fuzhen at home, Hua Banxia has not cooked for a long time, and it is rare to have time today, stir-fry two dishes.

But Chen Jiahua and Tian Fuzhen didn't give her a chance at all, and pulled her to sit down, "Don't don't, you can stay in Banxia, if you're bored, take a book and read it, you're going to get married, and you can't do rough work with your hands."

Hua Banxia was speechless, and he was married, wasn't he just married back to be a concubine, why did he make it the same as a big wedding, and he had to take good care of himself.

Helplessly, she had to find a book, which was about some anecdotes in the rivers and lakes, and began to teach Huaqing young people to read and write by the way. And Qiao Da and they also listened to it with relish.

Since the beginning of teaching Hua Qingqing to read and write, they have often listened to it, and they have not read those books, but they have heard too much, which is equivalent to reading.

"Yo, Qiao Da, what are you doing here, tender fragrance!" The smell of roast duck in the stove had already wafted out, attracting some villagers passing by, and now as long as there was something new in Qiao's courtyard, they would definitely come.

"You're here, come up and sit down, come up and sit", Qiao Da saw that it was a few acquaintances, and hurriedly beckoned them to sit under the eaves, "Isn't this my eldest niece making roast duck?"

Qiao Da didn't shy away from it, and said it directly.

Hua Banxia didn't blame Qiao Da, if this roast duck could really be sold well, when the time came, everyone would raise ducks together, maybe the Qiao family would still be able to be the east, and they would take their ducks to make roast ducks.

"What? Making roast duck? "Everyone, I don't understand, isn't Qiao Da planning to sell the duck to the restaurant, has the situation changed?

"Yes, didn't the duck be sold to the restaurant, why didn't you eat it yourself!" Several villagers said that they wanted to raise ducks with Qiao, they only cared about the ducks being sold for money, where could they eat them themselves.

"Hehe", Qiao scratched his head embarrassedly, not knowing how to talk, do you want to tell them that the duck is eaten by himself because it can't be sold?

"Uncles and uncles, roast duck is much more expensive than live duck, and I am also making more money for my uncle while I am still doing it", Hua Banxia helped explain, this explanation makes sense.

"Yes, yes, this duck is almost ripe, you sit and wait for a while to taste it", Qiao Da warmly entertained.

Since Qiao Da was chattering, it was not good to continue reading in the middle of the summer, so he had to go to the yard to check, open a small window of the oven and take a look, the duck was in very good condition, and the taste was even stronger as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Big brother, go get a big plate, it's almost ready", the firewood is fast, fortunately there is someone over there and she came, if you really wait for the specified time to come, the duck is estimated to be old.

"Little brother, the fire can be extinguished", Qiao Yi has been continuing the fire, sweating all the time on a hot day, but he didn't say anything, Hua Banxia felt sorry for this younger brother who didn't like to talk.

A few people are making ducks here, and a few villagers under the eaves in the back are stretching their necks to see, but after all, they are in someone's house, so they can't just run to the front to see it, as if they are delicious.

Hua Banxia originally wanted this duck, but a few people were too anxious to try it, and there were still guests, so the duck was too time-consuming, so he directly let Chen Jiahua cut it on the board.

A duck can hold a large plate, and this first plate of flowers is naturally served to Qiao Da and them, and several people have already gathered around the table and waited.

"Uncle, a few uncles, try it quickly", Hua Banxia put down the plate, said a word and left.

The remaining four ducks, there are already many people in the family, and looking at the way they steal food in the kitchen, it is estimated that it will be over in a while.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Qiao Le didn't use chopsticks, so he ate it with his hands, and was captured by the unique taste of roast duck in the first bite.

"Ouch, really hey, it's delicious", Chen Jiahua also admired, the dishes were all fried, but the duck was not on the table, since it was eaten in the kitchen.

"Yes, this duck sells for twenty yuan, and it is fragrant and delicious!"

"That's right, mother, we'll go catch ducks and come back to kill them after eating later, and we'll hang them tonight, and we'll go to the city to sell them tomorrow", Qiao Zheng couldn't wait for others to eat the roast duck they made himself.

When Chen Jiahua heard her son's words, she couldn't help but quip, "Look, this kid is anxious."

"If the uncle and the second uncle are not tired, we will start tonight", Hua Banxia wants to see how effective this roast duck is, if not, I have to find a way.

Hua Banxia spoke, of course everyone had no opinion, standing in the kitchen and eating all four ducks, he was full and beckoned Qiao Da to go to the pond together.

The next day, a Nanfeng roast duck shop appeared in a market in the south of the city.

Early in the morning, Qiao Da and the others went to the city with ducks on their backs, and began to set up stalls at the stall where Cheng Ze was coming. Building stoves, burning firewood, and preparing packed oil paper or something, I was busy for almost two hours.

The other vendors next to him have already started to do business, only Qiao Da's side has just started.

The duck entered the furnace, Qiao Yi continued to control the heat today because he had experience yesterday, Qiao Zheng looked at the ducks in the oven, Qiao Da and Qiao Le were in front, responsible for packing and collecting money.

It's almost noon, Qiao's house hasn't opened the market yet, several people are a little nervous, many people are very curious when they pass by and see them building a big stove, but they don't see anything sold, curious and puzzled.

However, the roast duck in the first oven gradually became fragrant, attracting people to stop frequently, "What is it, it is so fragrant."

"Yes, look at the fire is still burning, it's made and sold", "It's so fragrant, I don't know when it will be done", everyone talked about it, and Qiao was a little excited.

"Roast duck out of the oven ......", Qiao Zheng opened the hole to see, he really pinched it accurately, the roast duck was just right. He was in a good mood and shouted, deliberately to the people who stopped to watch.

"Roast duck?" Everyone was a little suspicious that they had heard it wrong, how could the roast duck be roasted like this, and the taste was different.

The hot, golden roast duck is out of the oven and hangs on the pole in front of the stall, because it has just come out of the oven, and the duck is still bubbling with oil, which arouses people's appetite.

Qiao Le said according to what Hua Banxia said, cut half of the duck with oiled paper and put it on a clean plate with a small piece of water.

"Come on, come on, uncles and aunts, big sons and little boys, you can come and try it, buy it if it's delicious, don't force it if it's not delicious", Qiao Le shouted.

Originally, when I saw the freshly baked duck, it looked very good, and everyone wanted to try it, but no one had ever eaten it, and I was not sure, so it was great to be able to try it now.

As soon as Qiao Le's words fell, a group of people came around, and everyone rushed to tie up the sticks. Half a duck is more than three pounds, and the cut pieces are small, enough for them to try.

But Qiao Le was still too young, and in less than two sips of tea, the crowd looked up from the plate, and the plate was already eaten.

"It's delicious, boy, is there anything else?" , An aunt asked, she just ate a small piece of it, and let others rob it, and now she still wants to eat it.

Qiao Le was embarrassed, I don't know if this lady wants to buy it or eat it for nothing. Another lady on the side saw Qiao Le's predicament, and directly pointed to the roast duck hanging on, "Oh, it's sold there, you can buy it if you want to eat it."

"Ouch!" The eldest lady reacted and patted her head gently, "Look at me, I just thought about eating it again, but I forgot that I could buy it, and I blame this duck for being so delicious."

It turned out that this lady still wanted to eat, but she forgot that this was a tasting at the market, "Come on, come on, give me one, oh no, come two!" ”

The eldest lady looked arrogant, bought two at once, and paid without blinking her eyes. The people on the side also rushed to buy it, because there were only eight or nine ducks in the first furnace, and they were all gone to two and a half, and if they didn't buy it, they would be gone.

Qiao Da and Qiao Le were frightened by this fiery atmosphere, and they kept cutting ducks for people, wrapping ducks, weighing catties and collecting money, and they were very busy.

The second furnace is still baking, and the first furnace is sold out in less than a stick of incense, and those who haven't bought it are asking when they will have it again.

"Half an hour, Cheng, I'll wait here!" A man dressed as a small guy said that all the people bought it just now, and if he didn't buy it back, he would be scolded to death by their son-in-law.

"Then I'll wait, I'll wait after him!" Another chubby uncle said, it seems that this guy has eaten a lot of good things, and if such a street shop as Nanfeng roast duck can make him stop, it must be delicious.

With these two people queuing, those who want to buy it in the back and join in the fun, they all crowd over and queue up, in order to be able to buy roast duck, they choose to buy vegetables nearby.

No, the vendors who were doing business next to Qiao Da and them had a very good business today, and everyone was very happy that Qiao Da and them could be in this stall.
