Chapter 47(1/3)
The next morning, Du Heng was busy. He was going to make roast chicken, roast duck and roast rabbit today. Early in the morning, he raised the chicken and duck from the refrigerator. He took five chickens and five ducks, and the remaining rabbit Xuan Yu was helping him clean up.
There is a place in Du Heng’s hometown who specializes in eating rabbits. Eating rabbits with spicy rabbits and roasted rabbits with rabbit heads has formed a complete industrial chain. It is said that no rabbit can get out of here alive.
Du Heng once ate the rabbit there. He couldn't eat too spicy food, he ate the braised rabbit there.
The ducks packed from Yunyanlou are fat and have a thick layer of fat under the sebum. Such ducks will be too fat if they are made into salted ducks, but they are just right for roast duck.
Du Heng took out the duck and cut the duck head and duck wings and legs. These parts have no meat and are easily roasted when roasted. However, if cut off, it will make a pot of good snacks, braised duck wings, etc. Du Heng can also eat several of them.
After chopping off the excess, Du Heng chopped off the duck's butt. He was afraid of the smell, so he chopped up a little more.
He lifted the treated duck into the pool and washed it carefully. The duck from Yunyanlou had already cleaned its internal organs after buying it. Du Heng just needed to control the blood inside.
After the ducks were washed several times, Du Heng took out a hollow bamboo tube, which was only the size of his little finger. He inserted the bamboo tube into the interlayer between the skin and the meat on the duck neck. The roast duck must be roasted to make the skin crispy, and blowing is indispensable.
This is a test of lung capacity. When Du Heng was pressing the skin beside the duck neck and bloating his cheeks. Chonghua came to the kitchen. Seeing Du Heng's appearance, he was stunned for a moment: "Hey? What are you doing? It seems very fun."
Du Heng looked at Chonghua and showed a bright smile: "Chonghua, are you here?" Chonghua shook: "Hey??"
Now it was Chonghua's turn to swell with his cheeks, Du Heng was helping him: "Come on! Oh, this lung capacity is so great!"
Under Du Heng's gaze, the duck became round as if it was inflated. If Du Heng hadn't tied up the cut duck wing tips and legs with a thin rope in advance, the duck would have probably been blown away by Chonghua.
If the five ducks were asked to blow the air, it would be a long time to make a fight, but if Chonghua was allowed to go on the battlefield, it would be fine in a short while. Du Heng hurriedly gave Chonghua a thumbs up: "It's so amazing Chonghua!" Chonghua said with a purple face, "I thought it was a big deal, that's it?"
Du Heng was very grateful: "Thank you, thank you, I've helped a lot."
Chonghua felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his hair and smiled, revealing his two little tiger teeth.
Du Heng slapped his head: "Are you here to have breakfast? Are you here to eat the porridge and buns in the pot, can you put them yourself?"
Chonghua was stunned for a moment: "Hey? I... I actually came to see Gui Chuizhu."
Yesterday, Chonghua was sobbed that he dug out a bamboo that he was desperately slaughtered, and after he came back, he placed it in the yard. Later, after Du Heng baked the cake, he and Xuan Yu found a place by the window to plant it.
The thin bamboo was thin and small. Du Heng felt pitiful when he looked at it, and he didn't know if it could survive. He was afraid that it would fall down, Du Heng still held three sticks beside it. After comparison, the bamboo seemed even more pitiful.
Chonghua finally drank porridge and ate salted eggs and buns. He watched Du Heng water the roast duck, and he asked in wonder: "What are you doing?"
Du Heng kept pouring boiling water evenly on the duck's skin, striving to water every part. He said: "I'll pour some boiling water on the roast duck, which can remove the smell of the duck and dry faster when it's drying."
Chonghua was shocked: "What's so troublesome?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, after the air dry, you have to take it over and then dry it. There are four times when you need to brush it. After the crispy water is dry, you can only put the marinade in the oven."
Chonghua suddenly wanted to roll his eyes: "This is too complicated. After you have done this, can you still eat it today? It's so troublesome, I would rather not eat it."
Du Heng smiled and said, "I have a secret weapon."
Chonghua looked over curiously: "What secret weapon?"
Du Heng waved: "Come with me." As he said that, Du Heng carried the wooden basin where the ducks were placed upstairs.
There were also bamboo poles for drying bacon and bacon on the terrace. Du Heng tied them to the duck neck with a rope, and then hung five ducks on the bamboo poles. After hanging the ducks, he took out a bowl from the wooden basin. Most of the bowls of slightly yellow liquid were filled with.
Chonghua, who was holding the bun in his mouth, came over and sniffed: "What... is this? It smells a bit sour and sweet."
Du Heng used a small brush to dip the water in the bowl and stirred it. He smiled and said, "Crispy water. This is made of honey wine and white vinegar. If you apply this on the duck skin, it will be crisper after baking, and the color will look good."
Chonghua blinked: "Where is the secret weapon?" Du Heng smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, you will see it soon."
There is a formation on the terrace, and things that can be dried for one day can be as good as drying in a natural state for four or five days. Du Heng hung the duck on the bamboo pole for a while, and the skin of the duck that was still dripping water began to dry. It felt cool to the touch, but it would not get water on his hands.
Du Heng smiled and said, "If you want to eat roast duck under natural time, it will be really troublesome, but with the formation, the time for air-drying will be greatly reduced."
Du Heng picked up the small brush in the bowl and evenly brushed the duck's body with crispy water. There was honey in the crispy water. After brushing it on, it would feel a bit sticky. The color of the duck with crispy water was slightly darker than that of the non-brushed ones. Du Heng brushed it very seriously, for fear that somewhere would be missed and not brushed.
Chonghua squatted beside Du Heng with a bun in his mouth: "What a troublesome thing? You are so patient. If it were me, I would rather not eat it."
Du Heng smiled and said, "I think it's okay. When I see the people around me eating the delicious food I cook, I feel very happy. I am a person who is useless, I can't practice, and I can't explain the profound principles. But as long as I can make the people around me eat delicious food and make them feel happy, I feel that my efforts are worth it."
Chonghua turned his head and looked at Du Heng. He licked his greasy claws: "Du Heng, you are pretty good."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Chonghua in confusion: "Hmm?"
Chonghua said seriously to Du Heng: "I'm sorry, I actually wanted to eat yours before."
Du Heng:!!!
Chonghua said, "When Lord Xuan took you back to Dongji Mountain, I looked down on you very much. You are a personal practitioner and are so weak. In my opinion, you will only cause trouble and trouble to everyone when you arrive in the village. Yesterday I saw you in the bamboo forest. I wanted to eat you, but I didn't expect that Gui Crying Bamboo saved you. Now it seems that I hesitated. If I really hurt you, I will not be able to eat delicious cakes and buns, I will not be able to drink porridge, and I will not be able to eat the next delicious food.
"I apologize to you for my previous recklessness. If you need any help from me, just speak up. As long as I can do it, I will do it!"
Chonghua smiled brightly at Du Heng, revealing two pointed tiger teeth. Seeing Chonghua's smile, Du Heng couldn't help but think of the big cat she raised at home when he was a child. He raised his hand and touched Chonghua's hair: "You have helped me a lot! Thank you!"
Chonghua turned his eyes and stared at Du Heng's hand. He smiled: "Your habit is a bit like Lord Jing. Lord Jing sometimes likes to touch my hair."
Du Heng quickly withdrew his hand. He was used to touching and touching, but he couldn't control his claws. It was so rude!
With the blessing of the formation, the crispy water brushed on the skin will soon dry out. When Du Heng brushed the crispy water for the third time, he heard the old knife's voice: "Mr. Du? Mr. Du?"
Du Heng poked his head out of the terrace: "I am here!!"
The old knife was carrying a basket of golden pears on his back. He looked up and smiled, "Doctor Jing asked me to send you pears."
The pears in Jingnan's yard started to ripen a few days ago, and Jingnan waited for a few days before starting to pick them.
Du Heng said gratefully: "Thank you Lao Dao! Please help me put it in the kitchen? By the way, breakfast is in the pot, serve it yourself!"
Lao Dao responded and entered the kitchen. Dahuang... Dahun also followed Lao Dao's footsteps into the kitchen.
Chonghua lay on the terrace and said, "Since you got into the village, there have been a lot of changes in the village."
Du Heng asked with a smile: "What changes are there?"
Chonghua pointed to Xuan Yu, who was peeling a rabbit in the yard: "Master Xuan never talked to us much before."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu and saw Xuan Yu tied a rope to the tofu branch in the courtyard, and the rabbit's neck was tied under the rope. Xuan Yu used the tip of the knife to cut the rabbit's skin vertically, and he pulled the skin on both sides of the rabbit's neck with both hands and tried hard down.
A complete rabbit skin was pulled off by Xuan Yu. After the rabbit skin was peeled off, the pink rabbit flesh inside was exposed. The rabbit limbs were not much flesh, and the rabbit skin could not be pulled off when it reached the edge. Xuan Yu drew a circle with the tip of the knife.
A complete piece of skin was taken off by Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu placed the skin in the basket next to him and folded it one by one.
Before I finished playing, Xuan Yu started to deal with the rabbit's body after folding the rabbit's skin. Although this is the legendary beast, in Du Heng's view, this is a larger rabbit. After the rabbit molted, it exposed its big belly. Xuan Yu's knife slashed on the belly, and the internal organs in his stomach fell down in a flash.
There is a large wooden basin under the rabbit, which contains the rabbit's internal organs. Du Heng feels that the rabbit has removed the internal organs and is actually not edible. However, there should be a lot of things like such a big lump in the stomach that can be cleaned up.
But Du Heng is not very good at cooking rabbit internal organs, so these internal organs are probably only allowed to be dealt with by Xuan Yu.
Xuan Yu removed the rabbit's limbs with rabbit fur, leaving only a bare rabbit body in the middle. He untied the rabbit body from the rope and threw it into the backpack next to which the rabbit body was specially placed.
Xuan Yu, who had handled a rabbit, quickly hung another rabbit on the rope. His movements were flowing. He was obviously doing something to kill, but he did not feel that he had a hostility or murderous aura at all. Even if he was peeling the rabbit, he was as rigorous and noble as a disciple of a noble family.
Du Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xuan Yu's direction. He suddenly became curious: "What did Xuan Yu look like before?"
Chonghua supported his chin and he leaned his body against the railings of the terrace. Chonghua said, "Mr. Xuan is not talking. When we came to see Fengjun in the past, he was mostly in seclusion. Unless we encountered a very troublesome problem, Fengjun and Master Jing would call him to listen together. However, Master Xuan is still very little, and none of us dare to talk to him."
Chonghua smiled and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that Lord Xuan had been taken over by a strange thing."
Did Xuan Yu have such a temperament before? I really can't tell it. But Du Heng thought about it and figured it out. When he first arrived in the village, Xuan Yu lived alone in a broken house, and even he sat on the ground in meditation.
Du Heng thought that Xuan Yu would not take care of him, but after getting along with him, he found that Xuan Yu was very good at taking care of others.
For example, at this moment, Du Heng was cutting pears on the chopping board. Xuan Yu had already helped him put the white porridge on the table: "Du Heng, you have breakfast."
Du Heng removed the core of the pear, and the sweet pear juice flowed all over his hands. Hearing Xuan Yu's words, he happened to cut out a piece of skinless pear. He turned around and stuffed the pear into Xuan Yu's mouth: "Is it delicious?"
Xuan Yu chewed it and showed a smile: "Sweet, the Xueyu Pear of the Xueyu Fox clan has always been a tribute, and the taste is naturally good."
Du Heng was shocked: "Where are the tributes? Who are they for?"
Xuan Yu said slowly: "There are demon gods in the demon world, and now there are three demon gods in the demon world, so the tributes are naturally provided to the demon gods."
Du Heng smiled and stuffed a piece of pear into his mouth: "Oh, then I'm so lucky that I can actually eat the fruits offered to the demon god. Thanks to Jing Nan and Feng Gui, otherwise I might never know that there is such a delicious pear in my life."
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Let's have breakfast."
The breakfast was made of Sandian Bai porridge and the small pickles that had been fried before. Du Heng finished drinking a bowl of porridge and killed another bun. He also grabbed a cake.
His belly was filled with sweet and salty stuff. He touched his belly happily: "I feel like I have gained weight after coming to the village."
Jing Nan happened to enter the door: "Get fat? It's impossible. You will practice in the spring of next year. It's hard to get fat. Please help me serve a bowl of porridge."
Jing Nan took laziness to the extreme. Du Heng felt that when he came to the village, he looked at Jing Nan working in the spiritual field with a basket on his back. This guy could sit and not stand, lie down and not sit, and could command others, and never do it himself.
Not long after Lao Dao arrived in the village, he was called around by Jing Nan. Du Heng wanted to cry for Lao Dao.
Xuan Yu calmly put the porridge bowl in front of Jing Nan: "I have peeled the skin of the Ei Beast. Can you find someone from Miaoyi Pavilion to make a cloak?"
Jing Nan blinked, and he was a little surprised: "Ouch, are you serious?"
Xuan Yu said: "The beast is also a beast. I see that the skin is of good quality, so I will do it for Du Heng. He is weak and it is easier to have this when traveling."
Du Heng, who was drinking porridge, shook his hand and almost spit out. He was weak? What a joke, his body was like a small stove! One night wasn't he warming Xuan Yu? He actually said he was weak?
Du Heng said resentfully: "My body is not weak, not weak at all. Do you want to make a fur coat? Don't make it for me, make one for Xuan Yu. Jing Nan, I tell you, Xuan Yu's body is really not good, it's cold like ice."
Jing Nan smiled and took a sip of the porridge calmly: "Don't be humble, wait until I turn around and ask the people in Miaoyi Pavilion. This is the skin of the beast, so you can think of it."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu in confusion: "What's wrong with the Ei Beast? Is it very advanced?"
Xuan Yu said calmly: "It's not very high-end, it's just that this thing can deceive people. Because it's cute, many monks have been deceived by them. They have their own supporters in the demon world. If we use their leather to make clothes, some people may be dissatisfied."
Jing Nan sneered: "A group of boneless guys rely on this thing to cheat and cheat. How dare you say they are their fans? Stop talking, I have to settle the coat made of animal skins. Hey, if you have the ability to come to the village and talk to me."
