Chapter 118

Mrs. Liu thought of many old ducks in the circle and said, "since you taught us how to make salted eggs and preserved eggs, we have raised many more ducks. Now there are some old ducks that don't lay eggs. They are all slaughtered and eaten, and some are reluctant to give up. No, it's a waste of food. "

Old duck?

Zhang Qiao thought about it and had an idea.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'll go to the county with my uncle tomorrow and ask the restaurant to see if they accept old ducks? If not, I'll think of another way. "

"Your uncle asked. The price is too low."

"Then I'll think of another way. We have something to sell. "

"I hope so." Mrs. Liu was very worried. She thought that she could only sell it to the restaurant at a loss. But that's not what she wants to see.

Zhang Qiao comforted her.

On one side, Liu fu'er said: "ah Nai, you can rest assured. We have ah Qiao in our family. I'm afraid I can't think of a good way. Ah Qiao is the smartest. She can't do without her. "

Old lady Liu looked at Zhang Qiao, and Zhang Qiao nodded heavily, "Granny, don't worry, things will be solved well. Give it to me, I'll think of a way."

In the evening, Zhang Qiao thought again and again that the price of the restaurant was too low, so she had to think of her own way. What can I do for myself? You have to sell it yourself. How can you sell it? That's the point.

After a long night, Zhang Qiao finally came up with a solution.

The next day, she wrote a piece of paper to boss Liu, asking him to go to the county's pharmacy and grain shop and get all the things on the paper back. What's the use of boss Liu? Is there something wrong? Zhang Qiaoxiao said that this is a magic weapon.

Liu's family believes in Zhang Qiao very much. She doesn't want to say it. Naturally, she doesn't ask much. Liu's boss takes the paper and runs all over the county to buy all the things.

In the afternoon, Zhang Qiao asked he to kill two old ducks, and asked Mrs. Liu and Liu fu'er to cut and sew the white gauze they bought back into small bags.

She put all the medicinal materials she bought back in the same way, one by one, the other by one, and put them all in cloth bags, and tied up small bags one by one.

Mrs. Liu asked curiously, "ah Qiao, what are you going to do with these in a small bag? What are these herbs for? "

Zhang Qiao said with a smile: "these can be used as both medicine and seasoning. I'll pack them now, and they will become packets of bittern. When my aunt has sorted out the old duck, we'll try the stewed duck. If the taste is good, we'll set up a stall in front of the county vegetable market tomorrow to sell the old duck. "

Can herbs be used as condiments?

It's the first time they've heard that.

Old lady Liu was not sure, "can herbs really be used as condiments?"

"Yes! Grandma, believe me. "

"Letter! Of course I believe you. I don't believe you. I just can't believe it. We only know that it can cure diseases, but we don't know that it can make condiments. "

Zhang Qiao said with a smile: "let me have a try. When I eat at night, grandma will know if it's true."

"Well, I want to try it now." Old Liu looked happily at he, who was picking up ducks beside the water tank. "Old man, what do you want to do when you go back to ah Qiao?"

"Yes! Don't worry He should smile.

When he's done with the ducks, Zhang Qiao takes two packets of bittern bags and goes to the kitchen with her.

Duck water, add water, add salt, boiled water, put marinated material package and the duck after the blood, cover the pot, first high heat rolling for a quarter of an hour, then low heat marinated for an hour.

In the kitchen, the smell is strong.

The flavor of the marinade mixed with the smell of meat spreads out, which makes people move their fingers when they smell it.

"Wow, how delicious! What did you cook today? " Boss Liu came back from work and picked two baskets of duck eggs.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "ah Qiao is stewing duck. Go and get a few Jin of wine. I smell the fragrance. In the evening, you can have a few drinks with your father."

"Stewed duck?"

"Yes, look at these. Ah Qiao asked us to sew a gauze bag, which contains the medicinal materials you bought from the county. It's said that it's a bittern bag. It's used to marinate duck meat."

Boss Liu couldn't believe it. "Can this work?"

"Ah Qiao said yes, let's try. Don't you believe ah Qiao?"

"Faith! How can I not believe ah Qiao? Of course I do. " Boss Liu took the duck eggs back to the sundries room and took the empty wine jar to the village canteen to get three jin of wine.

The stewed duck is red and bright in color. The sauce is thick and mellow. The meat is tender and sweet. Even the bones can be crushed, and the juice inside is delicious.

Two stewed ducks, a family meal is finished, catkins son still meaning to lick his little finger, two eyes shining looking at Zhang Qiao, "ah Qiao elder sister, you are really great, this stewed duck good to eat."

Zhang Qiao laughed and looked at the crowd: "everyone thinks it tastes good?"

People nodded, "it's not good, it's very delicious."

This time, Zhang Qiao became more confident. "This is what I plan to do. We make stewed duck, warm the big pottery pot with charcoal fire, and send it to the county vegetable market to set up a stall. Put a duck out and slice some duck meat to let the guests taste it first. If it's suitable, they can buy it again. Grandpa, do you think it's ok? "Don't wait for old man Liu to answer, old lady Liu has already preempted the way: "OK! This is a good way. Let's sell it ourselves. The price is certainly no less than that of restaurants. "

Zhang Qiao nodded, "this is the truth."

Everyone got one vote, said to do, ready to go to the county vegetable market tomorrow morning. For the first time, they didn't dare to make too many. They slaughtered ten ducks, stewed them for eight minutes, and then warmed them on the charcoal stove. By the time they got to the county, it was almost nine minutes. It took time to sell them. In this way, the time was just right.

In this way, the meat is good and tastes good.

Yesterday, Zhang Qiao asked Liu fu'er to pick a lot of lotus leaves, which are used to wrap stewed duck. With lotus leaves, it is clean and can add lotus fragrance.

Wrap it in oil paper.

Today, Zhang Qiao and old lady Liu are on the show. Old man Liu is driving them in an ox cart. When they arrived outside the market, it was just dawn, and when they were ready, the market began to be lively.

Zhang Qiao unscrewed the bamboo tube and drank some water to moisten her throat.

When there were more people buying vegetables, she began to yell, "come on, come on! Pass by, don't miss it. Taste a piece, taste a mouthful, no money, only give you delicious, hello ~ ~ come on! Yuwei stewed duck, fresh supply, hot breath out of the pot, coming to feed ~ ~ "

Zhang Qiao lifted the lid of the pot, and the fragrance came out with the heat.

Passers-by can't help but pause. When they heard that it was free to taste a dollar, someone came up and asked, "little girl, you said it was free to taste a dollar?"

"Yes, aunt, come! Try it. " Zhang Qiao strung the sliced duck with a bamboo stick and handed it to the woman. "Aunt, this is our exclusive stewed duck. It's a secret recipe from our ancestors. It tastes first-class. Duck meat is rich in nutrition, especially suitable for summer and autumn. It can not only supplement the excessive consumption of nutrition, but also remove the discomfort caused by summer heat
