"Hey, you don't understand this, just wait and see, lead the way, I'll see how the ducks are raised here."

Wang Er didn't ask much, he was elected by everyone to attract Qi Ling, and the others were either very visionary and unwilling to have more contact with such a girl who spoke wildly, and some were afraid of offending the young master and the old man.

After Lao Chengtou became the head chef, the time to cook has changed from once every two days to once every five days, and the other dishes are basically handed over to his three apprentices to make, and he himself is a distinguished guest from Chunfeng Lou who will rarely do it once.

This kitchen room is basically full of old adult supporters, if you offend, you don't have to mix in it, you can't stand it just by squeezing.

However, Wang Er has only been here for a month, and he is barely familiar with a few side dishes here, and he is not afraid of offending anything, so he elected him after thinking about it again.

Walking out of the kitchen, Wang Er took her through the back door and directly to a separate courtyard, and as soon as she walked in, she heard all kinds of chickens and ducks chirping inside, and there was a pungent smell.

Wang Er covered his mouth and nose and stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Old Zhou, I'll pick a duck!" ”

"Hey, it's coming!" The people inside quickly opened the door, and Qi Ling leaned in to take a look, huh! The yard is full of all kinds of chickens, ducks and geese, and there are several fences on the side, and another batch is placed inside.

"Come in and pick it, the ducks have just matured in recent days." Lao Zhou greeted with a smile, opened a door, and let the two of them in.

Qi Ling lifted the skirt and picked it for a while, and then he took a fancy to one, Lao Zhou tied it up with his hands and feet, and was about to take it to the back to be slaughtered, Qi Ling hurriedly stopped him, took out the wine jug and handed it over, "Slow, you pour some wine on it before killing the duck, and then it will be easier to pluck the feathers." ”

Lao Zhou took the letter suspiciously, and after a cup of tea, he walked out with a slaughtered duck, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Girl, where did you come from? I always have to spend a lot of time cleaning up those tiny hairs, but listening to your words, it becomes very easy after drinking before killing, this is the duck you chose before, and it has been taken care of! ”

Qi Ling smiled and took the duck, "Thank you, I also found it by accident." ”

After saying goodbye to Lao Zhou, the two returned to the kitchen with the duck, and at this time the preparations in the kitchen were almost done, some people continued to practice their craft in front of the anvil, and some gathered together to discuss something.

Qi Ling walked in without squinting, looked around, and then picked a corner of the stove, threw the duck on the anvil, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start making the spiced duck.

Marinate first, then fry the duck in the pot with half a pot of lard until golden brown, add the sweet noodle sauce she brought, add spices, green onions, white water, etc., and boil for an hour.

The people nearby seemed to be whispering to each other, but in fact, they were all secretly watching, trying to memorize each step of Qi Ling clearly, the production process of spiced duck is not difficult, but the process of frying it with lard still requires some skills, Chang Bai, as the big apprentice of the old man, has long been standing aside and watching.

His eyes were vicious, and when he saw Qi Ling constantly rolling the duck, he knew that this fried formula was an extremely important part, so he kept staring intently at the changes in the duck.

It wasn't until Qi Ling finally put in the sachet and covered the pot that he suddenly came to his senses.

At this moment, the kitchen room was already shrouded in the aroma of spiced duck, and after maintaining the heat, Wang Er brought a chair and motioned for Qi Ling to take a rest.

This duck is not lightweight, but her hands are like feathers rolling in the oil pan, which shows that this girl must have been cooking for many years.

Otherwise, where did you get such a big arm strength?

Qi Ling also sat down politely, took out two red apples from the cloth bag, and handed them to Wang Er, "Now that the heat has stabilized, just take a look at it after half a cup of tea, sit down and eat an apple, I have to say that it is really a little stuffy here." ”

"Thank you, Miss Qi, you should have been a cook for a long time, right?"

She waved her hand modestly, "Hey, how can it be a long time, just to eat for a mouthful, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Chang Bai saw all this, turned around and left the kitchen, and came to the upstairs wing, where Lao Chengtou rested when he didn't cook on weekdays, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a choking smell of dry smoke.

He was a little helpless, "Master, this dry tobacco is not good for your health, you better smoke less!" ”

The old man blew his beard and glared at a puff of white smoke, "You kid, you don't cook well but you came here to teach me a lesson?" Say, how did the girl do? ”

"The apprentice has probably seen it clearly, this girl's skills are not weak, and now the duck is still stewing, and you can only know the taste when it comes out of the pot."

"I can see it clearly... Hmph, the young master asked you to cook this dish by name, you have to see it clearly, otherwise smashing the signboard of Chunfeng Building is not as simple as deducting the monthly money! ”

After Lao Chengtou finished speaking, he continued to smoke a dry cigarette, and Chang Bai's face was no longer as relaxed as when he came, and after these words, he felt a little more sense of crisis in his heart.

He moved, and finally spat out a "yes." ”

After an hour of stewing, the duck was finally out of the pot, Qi Ling picked up the wide leaky net and scooped it up, the surface of the duck was light brown, the leather was tight, and it was very appetizing to look at the oily shiny.

Pick up the kitchen knife and cut the duck in half, the duck neck and other pieces are placed on the bottom, the duck legs are cut into pieces and placed on the top, and the two plates of spiced duck are served on the table.

Qi Ling chuckled, "The duck is ready, everyone must know this step, one plate will be sent to Young Master Xu, and another plate will be left here for the big guy to taste, some people in the province say that I am arrogant." ”

"Now that the duck is ready, I'll taste it first." The first one to stand up was Chang Bai, he picked up the chopsticks and picked out the duck meat and put it in his mouth, and just tasted it on the tip of his tongue was a rich sauce fragrance!

The first thing he thought of was the sweet noodle sauce used by Qi Ling when he stir-fried, which provided a special hint of sweetness to the duck meat, not only was it not abrupt, but it seemed very harmonious, and he bit off the meat on the bone, and then tasted the extraordinarily fragrant and tender duck meat, and the fat in it suddenly seeped out, with the unique taste of duck......

Chang Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and at this time he could definitely admit that this duck was definitely several times better than the sauce duck in Chunfeng Building!

Obviously, it is the same kind of duck as the sauce duck, but why is it made with such a completely different taste?

"Senior brother? What the hell is going on? Seeing that he was standing and not speaking, the second apprentice of the old man couldn't help but stand up, Chang Bai sighed and handed him the chopsticks, "You can taste it yourself." ”

After that, the spiced duck made this group of guys in the kitchen completely silent, Qi Ling watched quietly with his arms on the side, but secretly shouted in his heart, this is really a super cool slap in the face!

Xu Shang hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen when he ate the first bite of spiced duck, and when he arrived, the whole kitchen was already busy.

Qi Ling didn't say a word, and sat aside with a leisurely expression.

She is waiting for Xu Shang to give money.

This stewed duck is not a short time, she has to go to the shopkeeper Duan's shop later, but there is no time to waste here.

After seeing Xu Shang walk in, she got up and said, "I'm done with the dishes, you should have eaten it, right?" ”

Xu Shang narrowed his eyes, "I naturally ate it, but aren't you going to stay and taste what my Chunfeng Lou chef made?" ”

Qi Ling shook his shoulders, "It doesn't matter to me whether it tastes good or not, you paid me to cook, and you didn't invite me to eat, I still have something to do, so I won't bother Young Master Xu here." ”

"Humph!" Xu Shang snorted coldly, and then she didn't embarrass her, she called Steward Li to send Qi Ling away.

It was another wordless journey, and when the carriage was about to arrive, Steward Li took out an envelope and handed it to her, "This is the remaining one hundred and fifty taels, Miss Qi, please take it." ”
