Chapter 651: This Duck Is Beautiful
When they ordered food at the Lion Restaurant, they found that although the barbecue here smelled fragrant and delicious, the price was really not cheap! A tomahawk steak costs 1499 and a rib-eye steak for one person costs 299.
After ordering the meal, the non-president scratched his head: "It seems that I was fooled, Shrek!" ”
Both of them eat a lot of food and order more than others.
Originally, it was said that it was rare to earn it today, and the lottery tickets were given away in vain, and a bunch of small gifts were sold.
As a result, all the funds of this province were spent on eating, which seemed to be a lot more than the usual cost of cleaning the capsule toy machine.
On the way home, Ying Ying was thinking about her giant panda puppet, and she was so excited.
"Ma Ma, why don't the giant pandas go home with us?"
"Because it's too big, our car can't fit it, and when we go back, the uncle and aunt from the zoo will send it over."
"When will it be delivered?"
"I'll send it when we get home!" Liu Xueqing was helpless, and changed the topic, "Yingying, I'll sing you a song!" ”
sang softly: "The bamboo blossoms, hey, Mimi lies in her mother's arms and counts the stars......"
When she was a child, her mother often sang this song to her to put her to sleep, but Liu Xueqing had forgotten it, and the usual sleep songs were basically "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Worm Fly".
Today, I listened to Fang Ye tell the story of bamboo blossoming, and played this song to evoke her good memories.
Ying Ying listened to it for the first time, blinked her eyes twice, felt the tenderness in the song, and slowly quieted down.
……
The sky was a little dark, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of green smoke, and a sparse light rain was falling.
Tiny farm.
The early rice was harvested in mid-July, and the late rice was quickly planted again.
By the end of August, the rice was already growing in good spirits, green and wet with a little rain, and the leaves were covered with crystal droplets.
Quack quack quack~
A dozen gray-brown rice ducks, not knowing if it was raining, became more lively and swam happily in the water.
Kicking the soles of his feet, he scurried far away, swimming between the green rice, shuttling freely, lowering his head from time to time, pecking in the muddy water with his flat beak to eat the weeds.
After a while, it seemed that they were full, and they all swam to the ridge again, and they staggered in a row, and their bodies staggered from side to side to the open area.
Raise your chest and raise your head, raise your long neck, shake your neck twice, flap your wings twice, shake off the small droplets on your feathers, and then bury your head in your beak to comb the fluff on your chest twice.
Looks energetic and energetic!
After all, they usually eat weeds, pests in the water, snails, small frogs and other raw food, green and healthy.
The blue carp squatted on the edge of the rice field, holding his hands on his legs, quietly looking at the ducks in the field, holding his chin and smiling: "It's so cute!" ”
Fang Ye was helping the blue carp with an umbrella on the side, and today was on vacation, and the two of them took a walk in the garden together.
When the little farm staff saw them, they walked up the muddy ridge in black rain boots and greeted, "Hello Principal!" ”
Seeing the blue carp looking at the duck, he smiled and said, "It's the best time to eat ducks now!" The ducks are the fattest in autumn, do you want me to catch one for you? ”
Lan Carp's eyes widened, a little stunned: "Huh? ”
She just thought that the duck was cute and squatted to watch for a while, how could it be misunderstood as greedy.
Turning his head to glance at it, Fang Ye smiled gently: "You decide." ”
Lan Carp hesitated and said, "Okay! ”
Although I'm a little sorry for the cute duck duck, it's not bad to go back to cook tonight and cook a delicious dinner for Fang Ye.
So the staff returned to the hut, took a net, and buckled the duck inside.
The duck was still calmly combing its feathers, but it was suddenly caught, and the duck next to it quickly dispersed.
I struggled a little, but I didn't show too much panic, and it wasn't the first time I was caught.
Pick up the duck's wings and come to the canteen: "Lao Zhang! Help with the handling and pluck the duck. ”
Lao Zhang took the duck and smiled on his chubby face: "This duck is very beautiful!" It's a duck raised in our rice field, right? ”
Fang Ye smiled: "Yes! ”
The area of the experimental field is not large, and the number of rice field ducks raised is not large, mainly to let them eliminate weeds and pests, and by the way play a decorative role.
I didn't think about bringing them to the table, but today it's time to open the meat.
Lao Zhang pinched the duck: "It should be more than five catties, very meaty, and the meat is very firm, and it looks like a regular runner." ”
Duck: Quack!
Thanks for the compliment duck! Where is this duck? What are you going to do?
Lao Zhang said: "I'll boil some boiling water to scald it, you can sit and wait for a while." ”
Blue Carp: "I'm here to help, too!" ”
Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, you can help pluck the hair later." ”
While boiling water, I took out the kitchen knife and sharpened it slightly on the whetstone.
Then he grabbed the base of the duck's wings with his left hand, grabbed the duck's beak with his right hand, stuffed his head into his left hand, plucked the hair from his neck, and picked up the kitchen knife with his free right hand.
The blue carp turned its head a little reluctantly.
With a single stroke, the duck's blood dripped into the bowl prepared in advance.
Lao Zhang added a little water and salt, stirred it, and said with a smile: "You can condense it later!" Duck blood is also delicious. ”
Then the water in the pot began to bubble, and the duck was thrown in.
When the pores of the duck boiled in hot water are opened, it is better to remove the hair.
Fished out of the water and dried for a while, the blue carp learned from Lao Zhang, pulled off the feathers on the duck's body, as if picking clothes, and soon left a smooth and beautiful duck body.
The rest of the work of taking the internal organs and chopping the duck into pieces is Lao Zhang's own work.
Once you've got it done, take the duck home and get busy in the kitchen!
"Pepper, star anise, Sichuan pepper, green onion, ginger and garlic ......"
Prepare the ingredients first, and tonight she is going to make a beer duck.
The oil was hot, a faint smoke came out, the ginger slices and peppercorns were boiling in the pot, making a faint sound of "zilazila", and the aroma of spices spread from the kitchen to the living room.
Because the duck is fatty and fatty, it will produce oil when it is fried, so there is less oil in the pan.
Fang Ye sat on the sofa and stroked Huahua, Huahua squinted her eyes and made a comfortable "snoring" sound.
Looking beyond the entrance, the sky outside was a little darker, the raindrops fell "with a whoosh", and the leaves of the vines shook gently in the rain.
The clothes drying on the balcony have been put away early.
Fang Ye got up and closed the glass door of the entrance, insulating the wind and rain outside.
The blue carp poured the blanched duck pieces into the pot, and the sound of "zila" suddenly became intense, and the rich aroma of duck meat wafted away.
