Chapter 62 Roast Duck (3)

"The scholar was walking in the middle of the night. He met a beautiful woman halfway. The woman said that the doors and windows in her home were broken and she wanted to find someone to repair them. The scholar was attracted by her beauty and had a wrong mind, so he immediately agreed. After returning home with the woman, , the beautiful woman revealed her true colors, the skin of the beauty in the painting was torn off, and inside...there was actually a skeleton inside!"

Ah Bingtong Tangyuan exclaimed, hugged himself tightly and said, "Master Wen, stop talking!"

While waiting for the roast duck, they got really bored, so everyone began to tell stories by guessing the backs of their hands. When it was Wen Mingtang's turn, Wen Mingtang told a ghost story, which only frightened A Bing and Tangyuan.

Ji Caimai on the side shook his head and laughed twice while holding the wolfberry tea: only half-year-old children like A Bing and Tangyuan would be frightened by this ghost story.

However, when it comes to telling a story, roast duck is almost as good.

Wen Mingtang stood up and prepared the ingredients before picking up the roast duck. He shredded the cucumbers and shallots and put them on the bowl. He took out yesterday's sweet noodle sauce and put it aside, and then put on thick gloves sewn from coarse cloth. Go turn on the roast duck stove. When I took out a "duck brother", the aroma of roast duck was already strong enough across the stove. When the duck was taken out, the rich aroma mixed with fat made people inhale even more.

Wen Mingtang sharpened his knife and started slicing the roast duck.

Ji Caimai, A Bing and Tangyuan didn't expect this treatment. When they saw it, they immediately gathered around and watched curiously as Wen Mingtang removed the skin of the roast duck and placed it on the plate.

After looking at it for a while, Ji Caimai said: "I originally thought that this roast duck was chopped, but I didn't expect that it would take so much trouble."

However, it was also because of the effort that it was put into it that it was not as standard roasted or braised food as in the past, which made people more interested in how to eat the roast duck next.

After the roast duck was sliced, Wen Mingtang placed the duck rack on a plate, smiled when everyone looked at her, took a piece of steamed dough and demonstrated.

Dip a piece of roast duck with skin into the noodle sauce and put it in the middle of the dough, then add shredded cucumber and shredded shallots, and finally wrap the roasted duck, shredded cucumber and shredded shallots together like spring rolls during the New Year.

He handed the wrapped roast duck to Ji Caimai who was standing aside. Ji Caimai took it and took a bite immediately.

The crispy water on the duck skin was really not whitewash. The roasted duck skin was as crispy as he had ever seen before. The moment he bit into it, the thin layer of duck between the duck skin and the duck meat The oil is pushed out by the teeth and soaks into the tender roasted duck meat and crispy duck skin. The rich and mellow taste makes people salivate and make them want to stop.

It's just that although I can't stop eating it, if it's just that, the rich taste is fragrant but it's easy to get greasy. The dough mixed with sweet noodle sauce, cucumber shreds and shallots neutralize the greasiness, and all the greasiness is solved in one bite. question.

Ji Cai was applauded repeatedly when he bought the food, while Ah Bing and Tang Yuan in the compartment could not help but imitate Wen Mingtang in wrapping roast duck.

Wen Mingtang ate two, then picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in sugar, and put it in his mouth.

This way of eating made Ji Caimai, who had never seen it before, immediately picked up a piece of duck skin with his hand that was about to pick up the duck meat. He followed Wen Mingtang's example and dipped it in sugar. Before putting it into his mouth, Ji Caimai still hesitated for a moment. , after all, just thinking about this way of eating makes my mind go blank, and I really can’t imagine the taste.

However, seeing the girl's eyes narrowing slightly with pleasure while eating, Ji Caimai still put the duck skin dipped in sugar into his mouth. For a moment, the three tastes of crispy, soft and creamy are intertwined in the mouth, and the sweetness spreads from the tip of the tongue, which is unexpectedly wonderful.

Ji Caimai raised his fingers and kept cheering. Seeing this, Wen Mingtang ran to the house again. This time, what he brought back was a small jar. He scooped a spoonful of the orange-red translucent sauce from the jar into a white porcelain bowl. Wen Mingtang took a chopstick of duck meat and dipped it in, then put it in his mouth.

Ji Caimai and others, who had just learned from Wen Mingtang, dipped their chopsticks into the orange-red translucent sauce.

The sweet, sour and fruity sauce covers the roast duck, giving it a unique and wonderful taste.

"This is plum jam." Wen Mingtang glanced at the bottom of the jar and said, "If you like sweet and sour taste, you can try it."

She made these sauces when she was bored in the palace. Before leaving the palace, most of them were left with Zhao Sishan, who would only leave the palace next year. What she brought out were all small jars like this, and there were not many left.

But now that the public chef is here, I just have to take the time to cook.

On the other side, Ji Caimai and the others continued to eat roast duck. Wen Mingtang took out another "Duck Brother" from the stove and started to slice it. After the roast duck was sliced, he put on the skin, cucumber shreds and shallot shreds, and took a small dipping plate. After putting on the sweet noodle sauce, plum sauce and sugar respectively, Wen Mingtang pointed to the plate of roast duck and said to Ji Caibian: "Send this plate to Lin Shaoqing! He has helped us a lot today, and he asked about today's supper. Should I?" I want to eat."

Ji Caimai, who was putting the wrapped roast duck into his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay."

When he finished tasting the roast duck on his tongue and picked up the dough to get ready for the next one, he saw the girl still looking at him. He said blankly: "What's wrong?" If he wanted to give it to Lin Shaoqing, then go and give it to him!

Wen Mingtang looked at him and said, "Ji Caimai, you said before that you want to avoid suspicion, so I'm afraid it won't be a good idea for me to give you this plate."

Last time, because Lin Fei was good at eating spicy food, Wen Mingtang took a second look and was called over by Ji Caimai to give him a warning, so she is very careful now.

Ji Caimai's face immediately turned red after saying this, and he waved his hands and said, "It was a misunderstanding last time! Just go and deliver it yourself."

Wen Mingtang said "Oh" and walked over with the roast duck. When he walked to Lin Fei's room, he saw Zhao You squatting on the porch in boredom and counting ants. Wen Mingtang walked over and called out: "Zhao Chaoyou" .”

Zhao You was startled when he heard this, and immediately raised his head. When he saw the roast duck she was serving, his eyes lit up: "This is..."

"I made some food." Wen Mingtang said, "Bring it to Lin Shaoqing to thank him for his help." After saying that, he explained how to eat it, and then said, "Chai Zhao will come to the public kitchen to eat in a while!"

Zhao You hurriedly responded and walked in with the roast duck.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were speechless in the room, breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao You broke in.

There is still no clue to the case, which is really a headache! Lin Shaoqing didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and flipped through the booklet he took from the inn. He didn't know if he was so fascinated by it that he forgot about the two of them.

When they saw the roast duck, the two of them remembered: Master Wen made supper today!

smell good! Why don't you think about the case after eating?
