Chapter Ninety-Eight: Making Roast Duck

"The shopkeeper doesn't have to be embarrassed, I'm just coming to see today, if you already have a partner, then we have to find another merchant", I was still worried about Hua Banxia, I don't know why, I don't worry about entering the backyard of the pleasant building.

"Humph! White shopkeeper, this is the person who grabbed business from me before, a little girl, you dare to do her business! A man on the side, who was five big and three thick, looked at Hua Banxia contemptuously, and when he approached, Hua Banxia could still smell the strong smell of duck circles on his body.

For this kind of stealing other people's business and showing off instead, Hua Ban Xia Li didn't want to pay attention to it, turned to Qiao Yu and said, "Second brother, let's go."

The two turned around and left, but the man behind him laughed, "Don't go, but all the restaurants in the city that can be called by name will have our ducks."

Hearing the man's kind reminder, Hua Banxia paused for a while, but decided to go to other restaurants to have a look.

I walked with Qiao Yu to several restaurants in a row, and I saw them killing ducks in the backyard, and it seemed that the ducks and the ducks in Yirenlou came from the same place, and they looked and smelled the same.

"Cousin, what should we do now?" Qiao Yu followed Hua Banxia all the way to receive the blow, thinking about the thousands of ducks in the pond at home, what to do.

"Why don't you go to your brother-in-law for help?" Qiao Yu cautiously reminded Hua Banxia that since those people have the support of the restaurant owner, they are also about to have a brother-in-law of Lord Qincha.

Brother-in-law! Qiao Yu said this and startled Hua Banxia, when did they become so acquainted with each other, they actually started calling Yunye his brother-in-law. Even if it's a brother-in-law, it's a fake brother-in-law.

"No, no, I haven't married yet, besides, even if I get married, I'm still a concubine, how can I have weight in my words", Hua Banxia did not hesitate to blacken herself, if she went to ask Yunye for help, then she would not be able to stand up in front of him in the future, and she would not even want to do business.

Moreover, Yunye himself is a fake brother-in-law, and people are not obligated to help you.

"Then what should I do, our ducks really can't be sold", Qiao Yu was also anxious, Qiao's family was left with this pond and paddy field, and there was no other source of income.

Hua Banxia stood still outside a restaurant, thinking back to what they saw in the backyard of the restaurant just now, the little chefs were all chopping ducks, some of them were immediately chopped and fried, stewed, and some were roasted on the side.

Yes, it's just grilled like a skewer, like a roast chicken, it turns out that the roast duck of this era is not like the roast duck in the previous life at all, they are just skewered on the fire, without pre-processing.

Hua Banxia thought of this, no, the opportunity is coming, "I can't sell it raw, I don't believe it if it's cooked!" ”

"What did you say, cousin?" Qiao Yu didn't understand, and they didn't open a restaurant, how could they sell cooked ducks.

"I said, let's stop selling raw ducks, let's sell cooked ducks!" Hua Banxia said confidently, with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the smile with a new idea appeared on Hua Banxia's face again, Qiao Yu knew that there was nothing she couldn't solve, so she was relieved, "Then what are we going to do now?" ”

"It's nothing, let's go to the blacksmith shop and make something!"

......

In the evening, Hua Banxia and Qiao Yu rushed home, Qiao Da and they had already gone home to wait for news, a large group of people sat under the eaves and waited, and they couldn't stay in the house until they heard the last news.

Seeing Hua Banxia enter the yard, before her car could stop, Qiao Da put on her shoes and ran to her, "What's the matter?" What do you say over there? ”

It was still Qiao Zheng who felt sorry for him, the lobby girl, and came over to help Hua Banxia's car and help her park under the carport in the yard.

"Uncle, Dad, there are other ducks in the building, our ducks are no play", Qiao Yu helped Hua Banxia replied, but he only said the first half, which frightened a few people.

"Ah, what should I do, our ducks don't want to ......", Qiao Dayi thought that the ducks in the pond might be old in the pond, and couldn't help wiping away his bitter tears, fortunately for half a year.

Hearing the news, everyone was dull and did not speak, but could only sigh, thinking of the ducks in the pond, and wanted to cry without tears.

"Okay, second brother, don't scare the uncle", Hua Banxia was helpless, on the way back, Qiao Yu discussed with her, went home to scare them, and sure enough, this news really scared them.

"Banxia, what do you mean?" Tian Fuzhen pulled Hua Banxia to sit on the floor under the eaves, could it be that her son was lying to them?

"That's right, what do you mean, is Erlang lying to us?" Chen Jiahua also came over with a glass of water.

"Auntie, I just came home too, why don't my cousins have water to drink, I don't have it", Qiao Yu stopped doing it, this is differential treatment.

Before Chen Jiahua could speak, Tian Fuzhen burst over, "You still want to drink water, what did you say just now!" Tian Fuzhen was still depressed about what Qiao Yu had just said.

Qiao Yu was hurt by his mother, covered his head and said with a bitter face, "I didn't say anything, the restaurant just doesn't want our ducks, I don't believe you ask your cousin."

"So, is it true?" Qiao Zheng looked at Hua Banxia and wanted to hear a definite answer.

Hua Banxia nodded and said that it was true, and just when everyone was discouraged, Hua Banxia spoke again, "However, I have already thought of a solution, and I can try it when Ming'er's things arrive."

"Really!" Hope reignited in everyone's eyes, and they knew that nothing could stump her.

"Yes, we can't sell the live ones at the moment, so let's sell the cooked ones instead", Hua Banxia began to explain to them another method of roast duck, so that they wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Done! Then tomorrow, you will teach us to do it at home", Qiao Da made a decision.

Hua Banxia is about to get married, and now she can not go out without going out, and if there is anything to teach them to do, there is no need to show up in person.

Now that he is not married, the Qiao family has begun to treat Hua Banxia as a guest, and Hua Banxia is also helpless, but fortunately, Yun Ye is on official business, and he can't return to Yunjing for the time being, it is said that he has bought a house in the city, which is specially used to support her, a junior.

The next day, Qiao Yu got up early in the morning and waited at the door of the house for the blacksmith to deliver the things. And Qiao Da and Qiao Er are already building stoves.

"Sister, are you awake?" Hua Qingqing received the task and was responsible for getting Hua Banxia up.

But even if she understands her sister, she just woke up in Banxia when she came, and she really misses the time when she woke up when the two of them lived in that shabby house.

"Banxia, get up", Chen Jiahua was scalding the duck in his hand, and beckoned Hua Banxia, "There is breakfast in the pot, you eat it quickly, we will get it later."

Chen Jiahua said that it is good to deal with these ducks, and today it is said to try, let Hua Banxia teach them to make roast duck, so there are not many ducks.

Hua Banxia nodded, "Uncle Niang has worked hard."

......

According to what Hua Banxia said, Chen Jiahua and Tian Fuzhen have already processed five ducks, and the internal organs have been cleaned, the opening is not large, and the skin is also very complete, it can be seen that the two of them have put a lot of thought into it.

There is a big stove in the yard, and the bigger one is to think that the iron box can be completely placed, so that the iron box is heated evenly, and the roasted ducks are also beautiful.

Qiao Le and Hua Qingqing were grinding spices, Qiao Zheng was preparing oil and syrup, and the other boys were picking up firewood, sharpening picks, and boiling water, anyway, no one was idle.

On the contrary, it was Hua Banxia, sitting under the eaves with a bowl of porridge and looking at them, thinking about it, it was really ashamed, and he took a few sips at will, and Hua Banxia cleaned up and was ready to start.

A table was set under the big locust tree in the yard, and when Hua Banxia put a duck on the board and was about to make embryos, Qiao and several people nervously gathered around to take a clear look.

"Uncle, you don't have to be nervous, there are still a few ducks, you can follow along", Hua Banxia comforted, anyway, this duck is eaten by himself if it is bad, don't be afraid.

"Okay, bring the duck quickly", Qiao Da thought of following along, instead of just watching from the sidelines.

The few people who want to learn are in groups of two, and they plan to learn while watching.

Look at them ready, Hua Banxia began to work, and explained each step in his mouth, "The embryo making must first seal all the openings just opened, so that it is convenient to blow air into the ......."

Hua Banxia found a thin bamboo weave and began to wear it on the duck, sealing the opening where the internal organs were just taken out, and the meat on both sides would fit tightly and would not leak.

After sealing the mouth, find a small bamboo tube, make a small hole under the duck's arm, put the tube into it, and blow the duck.

Although Qiao Zheng and the others were very curious, why did they blow on the duck, didn't they still have only bones left when they ate it? But since Hua Banxia did it, they could only follow suit.

The duck finally blew the drum, and now it can be scalded with boiling water, "Uncle and second uncle, is the boiling water boiled?" Hua Banxia shouted to the two people in the kitchen who had been watching the fire.

"Hey, okay, okay, the water is always on", Chen Jiahua ran to the kitchen door and beckoned Hua Banxia, asking her to come over at any time.

Seeing that the other groups haven't blown yet, but they can't wait for them, "Why don't you leave one person here to blow and the others go in and watch me burn?" ”

Blanching the duck is very simple, let the duck go through it in hot water, then take a spoon and pour it slowly, and it will be fine for about a minute.

The scalded duck has been set and hung on a bamboo pole in the yard to let the wind dry. After drying, hang the sugar, and then blow the sugar after hanging, and you can enter the furnace almost in the evening.

"If it can be done, then we have to get up early, get to the city early and get ready to go", while waiting for the ducks to dry, everyone sat in the corridor, put down the table by the wall, drank tea and waited.

The roast duck can't have any accidents, I'm afraid of the wind and rain, so I have to wait with them in the middle of the summer.

"No, let's blanch the duck at night, and take the duck to the city early the next morning and roast it directly," Hua Banxia reminded.

It doesn't take too many people to sell ducks in the city, as long as two people sell them, two roast them, and one person burns firewood, and the others still kill ducks at home and dry them, and are ready to send ducks to the city at any time.
