Chapter 71(1/2)

Du Heng held the sky fox and went upstairs. This time he took out the ducks and geese from the wooden basin from the clear water and hung them on the bamboo pole on the terrace. After the water on the surface of the ingredients was almost the same, he weighed the weight of the ingredients.

The ducks in the demon world are indeed much heavier than those in their hometown. There is about three kilograms of ducks in the demon world, while the ducks in the demon world are four kilograms. Du Heng is no longer confused and disgusting. He is now following the weights that the sky fox weighs.

Two ducks are more than eight pounds, and the two geese are even more domineering. The two geese are twelve pounds together.

Du Heng held the neck of the goose that was thicker than his arms and sighed to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what do you think these ducks and geese in the demon world have grown up with?"

Xiaoxiao was pulling broad beans and eating them: "Jiuchi~" He didn't know, he was not a duck.

After "careful" calculations, it takes about one and a half pounds of salt to pickle these ingredients. Du Heng took Tianhu to the kitchen again. With Tianhu, he believed that he could make successful salted ducks and salted gooses in one go.

The fire rose in the pot, Du Heng poured a weighed pound of half a pound of salt into a warm iron pot. The iron pot should be kept dry and there should be no water inside. The heat should be small when stir-frying the salt grains.

After the salt grains were slightly hot, he poured the prepared one or half of peppercorns and eight cents of star anise into the pot. The fried spoon was stirred carefully with the salt grains and spices. Du Heng carefully observed the color of the peppercorn salt in the pot. When the color turned slightly yellow, the moisture in the salt grains was fried dry, and the fragrance of the spices was also stimulated, and then it could be released from the pot.

After a while, Du Heng put the fried pepper salt in a dry porcelain bowl. The slightly yellow pepper salt exuded a fragrance. Du Heng pinched the star anise inside and looked at it. The star anise was fried to dry and crispy, and it could break them into small petals with a slight break.

While the pepper and salt are cooled, Du Heng will be ready to mix the old braised rice.

Salt duck is a kind of braised flavor, but it is different from other braised flavors. It needs to be soaked in the braised flavor for a long time to make the flavor fully enter the duck, but it cannot be stewed for a long time, otherwise the meat will not be tender enough.

This is not a problem for Du Heng. So many diners in his hometown have accumulated too much experience over the years. As long as he has enough time, he can braise all the duck bones to taste.

The seasonings used by Lao Zhuan are similar to those he usually uses for braised meat, but he did not add salt to the soup base. The flames at the bottom of the pot lick the bottom of the pot without rushing. The brine in the pot needs to be boiled for half an hour before it can be used to braised ingredients.

During this period, he was able to marinate the ducks and gooses with the slightly cooled pepper and salt. Du Heng took the bowl and wooden basin and went upstairs. Xiaoxiao took a few plums and followed Du Heng's footsteps upstairs. Du Heng turned around by chance, and he burst out laughing.

He followed him with a smile, the little wonton and two chicks, and the four furry saw him stop and looked at him with their heads tilted. Du Heng wanted to throw the things in his hands and then rub them one by one.

The skins of the ducks and gooses were dry and they were cool to the touch. Du Heng carried their necks and placed them in a large wooden basin. He grabbed the pepper and salt and applied them evenly on their skin. While applying them, he also rubbed the flesh.

There is also a trick to apply. If there is less meat, such as the neck, head and claws, use less pepper and salt, otherwise it will be salty and will not taste good when marinated. And if there is more meat on the stomach, you should apply more meat, so that you can marinate it so that the fishy smell and greasy taste will be released.

Not only did he have to apply the outer skin, but he also had to apply the inside of his belly. The ingredients Du Heng received were all cleaned up by the chef of Yunyanlou. In order to maintain his appearance, the chef of Yunyanlou did not open the ingredients, but instead dug a hole from his butt. Only the liver and heart were left in the belly of the ingredients, and the intestines were hollowed out.

The internal organs have been dug out in advance and placed downstairs. When the internal organs are cooked, you can throw four pairs of heart and liver into the pot and cook them together.

It was not easy to marinate inside. Du Heng grabbed the pepper salt and wiped it from the hole that opened. He lowered his head and involuntarily released his spiritual sense to force every handful of salt to apply evenly to the inside of the ingredients.

If other monks saw this scene, they would definitely laugh out loud. Haven’t they seen anyone who would use spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness to process ingredients? Isn’t this a slaughter knife to kill chickens?

However, Du Heng and the furry around him didn't think there was anything wrong with him. Except for the little wontons that couldn't climb up the railings on the terrace, Xiaoxiao squatted beside the wooden basin and watched him cook. As soon as Du Heng looked up, he would see three pairs of bright eyes.

Use all the pepper and salt in the bowl, otherwise the pickled taste will be a little worse. After Du Heng put all the ingredients on salt, he left them in a wooden basin and placed them on the terrace. When the old braised and the old braised is cooked and let it cool, the four ducks can be marinated in the old braised.

Du Heng looked up at the spiritual fields outside the yard. He had two spiritual fields now, and there was not enough time to plant anything in the newly reclaimed spiritual fields. While cooking, he was preparing to go to the spiritual fields to plant something to eat.

After a while, Du Heng went downstairs with a bag of seeds, which was a pack of pumpkin seeds. Although Du Heng didn’t like to eat pumpkin, it was a good choice to use pumpkin to deal with a meal when there was no food. What’s more, pumpkins are full of treasures, and pumpkin vines and pumpkin flowers can be eaten. If there is no vegetables in summer, picking a few vines can make a bowl of soup.

Growing pumpkins is different from growing other things. Growing pumpkins does not require many seeds, nor does it need to sprinkle them evenly in the field.

Pumpkins are a crop that requires space, and it is best to have some shelves or poles for them to climb. Du Heng is not going to give the second spiritual field to pumpkins, he only plans to give them a little bit of edges and corners to let them play freely.

He dug a pit in the ground near the roadside, and then threw twenty or thirty melon seeds into it. After throwing the melon seeds in, they covered them with a shallow layer of soil, poured them with a little water, and then waited for the seeds to sprout. When the pumpkin seedlings break out of the soil and grow the first small leaves, they can be transplanted.

Du Heng was afraid that Nian Nian Sui and the others would accidentally turn out his melon seeds when they were playing. He surrounded the pit and covered them with thin bamboo branches. While surrounding him, he also said to Nian Sui: "There are pumpkin seeds here. Don't affect them when you play. When a large pumpkin grows in the future, I will steam the pumpkin for you to eat."

They looked at each other every year, and then yelled twice in disgust.

After planting the pumpkin seeds, Du Heng carried a basket to the peach forest. Beside the peach forest, Du Heng prepared to plant some taro in the low-lying places of the peach forest.

He doesn't like eating taro and has never paid attention to how to grow it before, but Fenggui and the others like it, Du Heng thought he could try it.

The peach blossoms have faded, leaving behind thumb-sized peaches. As the breeze passes, the leaves rustle, and the peaches poke their heads out of the leaves. In another month or two, Du Heng will have peaches to eat.

There is also a plum tree in the peach forest. At first, Du Heng had not recognized it as a plum tree. It was only after seeing the fruit that he recognized it as a plum tree. The plum tree was close to the stream, and most of the treetops were exploring towards the stream.

Du Heng wanted to plant taro near the plum tree, and there was a shallow ditch nearby. Du Heng paved the dead branches and leaves in the ditch and piled them under the plum tree. After a while, he got a small piece of wet and fertile land. He dug two shallow nests with his back to the stream, and then put down one or two taro seeds every three feet. He didn't know if he was planting this way. He remembered that when Du's mother planted taro, tender buds had already grown on the taro. The taro he put in were all the little taro left by him, one round and furry.

Du Heng put the taro in the nest and covered it with a layer of soil. The place where the taro was planted looked higher than other places, and twenty or thirty small mounds of shallow soil appeared under the plum tree.

Du Heng looked at the mounds and tried to transport some spiritual energy to the taros. When he was so tired that he was panting, the taros finally burst out of the soil. The green taro seedlings looked pretty like lotus leaves.

At this time, the little wonton suddenly rushed from Du Heng to the stream, and he whispered in the direction of Nanshan.

Du Heng looked back and saw a bracken forest on the other side, and he saw nothing. He wanted to release his spiritual sense, but suddenly he thought of what Xuan Yu said. Xuan Yu said that there was a formation protecting the village in the stone river around the village, and the demon cultivators who wanted to spy on the village would be blocked by the formation.

Du Heng's cultivation was not yet high enough to penetrate the formation. He looked at the bracken forest carefully. There seemed to be something in the bracken, and there were several places where bracken moved very quickly.

Du Heng touched the head of Xiaowonton: "It's okay, it may be a hare, they can't get through."

The bracken beside the river moved, and an animal came out. The animal looked like an orangutan, but had a white head and red limbs. It squatted opposite Du Heng and looked at Du Heng across the water.

Du Heng was a little confused: "The... monkey on the mountain?"

Xiaowonton lowered her figure and made a scream. Xiaowonton had grown into a medium-sized dog, and her barking was no longer as cumbersome as she was when she was a child. Xiaowonton's scream reminded Du Heng. Du Heng squatted down and touched its head: "It's okay, it can't get through."

The monster could not pass, but wontons could rush out. Du Heng felt that his hands were empty, and the wontons had already rushed out like an arrow. The small wontons were like a yellow whirlwind, which cleverly stepped on the stones on the water and headed straight for the monkey on the other side.

The monkey's figure was many times bigger than wontons. Du Heng stood on the other side so scared that his face turned pale: "Wontons! Come back!"

The nature of a hunting dog made the wonton go towards the prey, but Du Heng only saw a huge difference in body shape. In desperation, Du Heng sacrificed his flying sword.

Seeing that wontons were about to rush across the Stone River, the monkey on the other side turned around and hid in the Bracken Forest. After the monkey entered, wontons also rushed into the Bracken Forest. Before Du Heng's flying sword could fly across the Stone River, the wontons were gone.

There was no sound on the other side, and Du Heng was anxious. His spiritual sense could not penetrate the river. He didn't know what was going on opposite side. What if wonton was injured?!

Du Heng thought for a moment and made a decision, he wanted to cross the river to save the puppy!

Just when Du Heng was about to fly up, Jing Nan pressed his shoulder: "Have you forgotten what I said to you?"

Du Heng didn't know how Jing Nan came to him, so he pointed to the other side anxiously: "Little wonton ran away after a monkey! It won't be injured, right?"

Jing Nan put his hands on his hands and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. Next time you come to the peach forest and see a strange phenomenon on the other side. Not to mention a monkey, even if you see Xuan Yu and I standing on the other side, you can't go. You can release small wontons, even if you release smiles, there is only one thing, you can't go by yourself."

Du Heng was still worried: "But..."

Jing Nan reached out and touched Du Heng's head. He smiled gently: "It's nothing, there are so many monsters on the Nanshan Mountain. You can't resist them now. When you form a pill and turn into a baby, Xuan Yu and I will teach you how to know the monsters on the mountain bit by bit. Even if you want to go to Nanshan, we will accompany you."

Du Heng was still worried about the wonton: "But my dog..."

Jing Nan smiled and said, "You have to believe it. It is a dog with spiritual beast bloodline. Ordinary monsters cannot hurt him." Jing Nan looked down at the taro next to him: "Did you plant taro here? It's good. The trees here are a bit covered in the sun, so I'll cut the tree for you?"

Du Heng quickly stopped him: "What did I do when I cut it down? It is still unknown whether I can plant it. How can I cut down the tree that has already bear fruit? And look at this plum tree, there are a lot of plums on it. After a while, I will be able to make green plum wine."

Jing Nan looked at Mei Zishu in surprise: "This thing... can be made of wine?" Jing Nan's face said he didn't believe it.

Du Heng patted his chest: "Believe me, I have made plum wine. If you don't like plum wine, I can also make salted plums and honey plums. Even if you eat them as snacks, it's very good."

Jing Nan sighed with his hands in his arms: "Why didn't you show up earlier?"

Du Heng was confused: "Ah?"

Jing Nan said: "In the past, there were many such trees in the forest. The fruits produced by Xiaoxiao were sour and she didn't like to eat them. When the fruits were falling, the ground was full of fruits."

Du Heng was also heartbroken when he heard this: "Oh, it's wasted! But this year won't be wasted." He will make a tree of plums into delicious food, and even a piece of plum will not be wasted.

At this time, the bracken forest on the other side of the river moved, and Xiaowonton stood on the other side of the river with blood. Du Heng was shocked: "Xiaowonton is injured!"

Jing Nan flew up and landed beside the little wonton. He bent down and checked the wonton and said to Du Heng: "It's not the blood of wonton, it's the monster."

Jing Nan walked a few steps into the bracken forest. He turned around and asked Du Heng: "Du Heng, have you ever eaten Zhu Yan?"

Zhu Yan? What is Zhu Yan?

Jing Nan seemed to see Du Heng’s question, and he explained: “It’s the monkey you saw just now. The monkey was bitten to death by the wonton.”

Du Heng:!!!

When Du Heng hugged Xiaowonton again, Xiaowonton was so excited that he whimpered in Du Heng's arms. Du Heng checked its hair up and down, and the yellow dog hair was stuck into strands of strands by a large amount of blood. Fortunately, these bloodstains were all made of Zhu Yan, not wontons.

The wontons smell bad, and the clean dog became a little dirty dog. Du Heng was about to take a bath when he went back.

Then he turned to look at Zhu Yan who was dragged back by Jing Nan. He was in a dilemma. Zhu Yan's neck was bitten by the little wonton. God knew how the little wonton's mouth could bite such a thick neck. Zhu Yan's body was covered in blood, and his limbs were twisted under the tree. The timid people had to have nightmares when they looked at it.

Du Heng hesitated: "This...isn't this protected animal?"

Jing Nan was stunned for a moment: "What? What to protect?"

Du Heng patted his forehead. He was really stupid. This is in the demon world, how could there be such a thing as protecting animals? But he really didn't know how to cook Zhu Yan. Let alone eat it, this is the first time he saw this monster today.

Zhu Yan exuded a fishy smell, and Du Heng wanted to hide away. But his instinct told him that if such a large ball of meat was wasted, the food master would punish him!

Du Heng was a little embarrassed: "I haven't been a monkey before... No, Zhu Yan." Why is this thing a second-level protected animal in my hometown? If I eat it, I can be sure that I can sit in the prison.

And... Isn't this looking so ferocious? Du Heng dares not kill him!

Jing Nan saw Du Heng's entanglement, and waved his hand and took Zhu Yan into the storage bag: "When Xiaoyu comes back, let him clean it up. Then you can cook it like a paste and it's done."

Du Heng felt a little more comfortable. He looked at Jing Nan in confusion: "Aren't you sleeping? Wake up?"

Jing Nan snorted: "If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been torn to pieces by the monsters in Nanshan now. Can I sleep with peace of mind?"

Du Heng scratched his head embarrassedly: "I will remember next time." He happily touched the head of Xiaowonton: "Our small wonton is so powerful, and I will never be afraid of it if it follows me in the future."

Xiao Wonton licked Du Heng's hand with his tongue, and Jing Nan's mouth twitched: "Ah, don't show off in front of me, go take a shower, it's so dirty."

After some trouble, the old braised pork was cooked. Du Heng scooped the old braised pork into a wooden bucket and let it cool. When the old braised pork was cooled, he could soak the pickled duck and goose from the pickled duck and goose and soak the pepper salt on the old braised pork and pickle it.

Du Heng stood in the spiritual spring outside the yard with Xiaowonton in his arms. Xiaowonton lowered his head and let Du Heng scrub his fur. Xiaoxiao and they squatted beside to watch.

Du Heng talked to him while washing the dog: "Wonton, I'm very happy to rush out to protect me today. But you didn't listen to me, you retreated all over. What if you lose to the monkey and get hurt? You're so reckless. If you don't obey next time, you run out to chase your prey, I'll beat you up."

Xiao Wonton hummed, and he stretched out his tongue to lick the back of Du Heng's hand. Du Heng held its chin and spread its mouth: "Let me see the teeth of our Wonton. You are still a little puppy. How could you put down such a big monkey? I was so scared."

The wonton's teeth were not sharp. Du Heng looked at it for a while but couldn't figure out how it bit off the monkey's neck. Should he wait for Xuan Yu to come back to solve the problem?
