Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Eat Duck
The rest is easy.
Jiang Heng took these people back to place an order with Chen Aying. After confirming what dishes they wanted to eat, he let them move around freely.
Her colleagues just now had already let her know that these people had no bad intentions and knew their limits. In addition, there were surveillance cameras in the contracted area, so nothing would go wrong.
For this reason, the guardrail door was not closed. However, Shen Li had to go back to cook at noon, and the dogs were taking care of the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, so Jiang Heng asked Ali to guard the door.
Cats' jobs are Schrodinger's. It might seem like some vegetarian birds might be tempted to wander around, but with the formation protecting them, cats aren't really needed. As a result, Ahri often slacks off.
The injury I suffered a while ago has healed. Now I lie lazily on the cat climbing frame every day. I need to move around.
Urged by his owner to work, Ali stretched out his body, jumped down easily, meowed at her, and ran to guard the door.
This made Wei Hang and his group's eyes sparkle again.
Just run out and see.
Seeing that Ali really went to the shade near the backyard door and stayed there, everyone was amazed and took pictures.
It’s not that they are ignorant, but they always feel that the cats and dogs here are smarter and more spiritual.
He said he was going to check on the door, so he went.
When a chicken lays an egg for the first time, the dog will bring it to you.
Well, as for the Border Collie helping to bring back the ducks, that’s normal.
A dog is a dog, and a Border Collie is a Border Collie.
After enough marvelling, the six of them went to the contracted area together. They had just looked at a small half of the area. After asking Jiang Heng for his opinion, they stepped over the low fence and went back inside. They patted the chickens and ducks near the pond and the dog that was working diligently. There were also a few bright flowers in the lush area on the outermost edge.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It would be just right if you came half a month later.
The flowers here must be in full bloom at this time, and it will be great to take pictures with them!
Xia Yang and the others were about to go over to see the flowers when Ling Weihang stopped them: "Come on, let's go see what the boss is doing!"
Only then did they notice that Jiang Heng had also followed in.
But he didn't come to find them, but was heading in one direction with a basket in his hand.
Several people immediately followed with anticipation on their faces.
Jiang Heng noticed it but ignored it. She wasn't really running a farm stay. She was only entertaining them because they were so enthusiastic. There was no need to introduce everything to them. She was busy looking for eggs now!
As they became more familiar with the area, the chickens became much bolder and dared to look for insects to eat near the pond.
Jiang Heng felt particularly satisfied as she looked at the cute-looking chickens. These were all raised by her from the size of newly hatched chicks!
With the spiritual energy, none of these little guys died during their growth and all of them grew up.
Except for two that were scared to death by goshawks hunting last month.
And she ate several of them this month.
There are still more than ninety males and females combined.
Jiang Heng found a place with shade under a tree and sat down, then called out, "Dahei, Zhuangzhuang, Xiaobai—"
Immediately, the dogs patrolling in three different directions all moved.
Run over here as soon as possible.
Dahuang and two other dogs are watching the ducks.
The Border Collie is the dog captain and is responsible for both sides.
The three dogs stood in a row in front of Jiang Heng, their faces full of intimacy, looking at her expectantly.
Jiang Heng took the small egg out of the basket and placed it in front of the three dogs: "Smell it, do you still have this thing?"
The three dogs immediately came over to sniff.
The big black dog looked confused, sticking out his tongue and grinning at Jiang Heng.
But the other two reacted somewhat, and soon they barked at her twice and ran in different directions.
Ling Weihang approached cautiously and asked curiously, "Is this okay?"
The man with glasses then asked, "This egg should only have the smell of the hen that laid it, right?"
Jiang Heng: "Maybe? It won't hurt to try anyway."
In fact, when her spiritual sense swept across the area, she could sense that there were indeed eggs hidden where the two had gone.
In fact, today is not the first day of laying eggs.
It was probably just that Dahei saw it, and Dahei was even more clever, so he took the egg away.
The other two dogs were not so smart and noticed it, but didn't care.
Until Jiang Heng clearly expressed the need for this thing.
In this area where the chickens are active, there are three eggs scattered in the corner!
I guess they all came in the past two days.
That’s too much!
The chicken coop she specially had built for them didn't satisfy them?
lesson!
I have to train him again when he comes back to the cage tonight!
She didn't want the dog to bring the eggs to her every time in the future. She didn't mind, but she couldn't sell these eggs.
Soon Zhuangzhuang came first, left an egg, and ran away.
Xiaobai is a white-haired dog and he also got one.
But there was no second one.
Until Zhuangzhuang came over again.
Very good, the three scattered eggs have been collected.
Jiang Heng put all the eggs in the small basket and rubbed the three eggs' heads happily. "Very good. Next time you see this, will you keep picking it up for me?"
"Woof!"
“Woof woof woof!”
“Ohh…”
Jiang Heng nodded: "Everyone agrees, then these three eggs will be a snack for you three!"
The three dogs immediately rushed over excitedly.
If Jiang Heng hadn't been able to keep his composure, he would have been knocked down by the three fat and strong dogs.
One person and three dogs got into a fight.
The people watching nearby were stunned.
ah?
It really works!
I really got it back!
Damn, Boss Jiang actually has so many such smart dogs!!!
*
So envious!
So sour!
This sour mood continued until they were called back for dinner.
Chen Aying naturally takes orders from her own side.
Jiang Heng doesn't like to have too many outsiders at home unless it's necessary.
Chen Aying also knew this, so she took the ingredients to her house and had dinner there.
With a duck and four pounds of crayfish, six people couldn't eat too much, so they only left two fish, a crucian carp for stewing, and a carp for braising, and two vegetarian dishes, and they made a big table.
Mainly because the duck is very fat.
The duck weighs over four pounds including the fur, which is quite heavy, and the internal organs and duck blood are all included.
The duck was cooked in accordance with their requirements, and they had two meals a day.
One is made into beer duck and eaten roasted, and the other is stewed in an iron pot with some side dishes.
Chen Aying's family has a rural earthen stove, which is cooked with firewood. The food is full of aroma, and just smelling it makes people drool.
As soon as Ling Weihang and his companions were brought closer to Chen Aying's house, they smelled the fragrance.
Just that little bit is enough to make people intoxicated.
Several people took a deep breath at the same time.
Breathe deeply into the fragrance in the air.
There is the spicy aroma of crayfish, the sauce aroma and meaty aroma of duck meat stewed with seasonings, and the lighter fresh fragrance hidden in the rich aroma.
“Smells so good~”
"I'm getting drunk..."
Chen Aying said cheerfully, "It smells good, doesn't it? Xiaoheng's chicken is also very delicious. The stewed chicken soup is so delicious and not greasy at all. It will definitely suit the appetites of you young people. It's also delicious when roasted. They are all small and tender chickens with very tender meat. It's a pity that they are not selling them yet."
"Gurgle~"
Several people were drooling at what they heard.
The third brother, Qin Xi, slapped his thigh and sighed: "If I had known I would come later, we could have eaten everything!"
The man with glasses sighed, "Who knows? I didn't expect those locals were so busy showing off that they didn't tell the truth. It turns out they couldn't buy anything. They were lucky to meet Sister Xiao Jiang, otherwise they wouldn't have anything to eat."
Ling Weihang: "That's true!"
Another tall, quiet boy suddenly spoke up: "Then we can come again in October."
Several people were delighted: "That's right! There are a lot of holidays this semester!"
"Oh my god, Ji Chen, you are a genius!"
There is a seven-day National Day holiday in October.
The temperature has dropped again, which is more suitable for traveling.
At that time, other attractions were definitely crowded, and this place happened to be a good place.
Chen Aying was also happy to hear this: "Sure, sure, October is a good time! Xiaoheng also raises crabs, and October is just the right time to eat crabs..."
"Wow!"
“Oh my god, there are crabs!”
"Ahhh, I love freshwater crabs so much!!!"
Several young people became excited again and jumped for joy.
But the next second, Wen Yiwei, the second child, asked a soul-searching question: "Given how popular Boss Jiang's business is, will there be any chickens and ducks left in October? There aren't many of them. The females are kept for laying eggs, and the edible ones are cut in half. Those locals must have sold out! It all depends on whether there are crabs..."
The five people who were just excited: "..."
Looking at Chen Aying expectantly.
Chen Aying looked away, not daring to answer directly: "We're almost there. My home is just around the corner."
Six people: ...heartbroken!
The real chilling feeling is not about making a fuss.
But——
Eh?
Why do I see a little baby after turning a corner?
The rural area is still so bold, only about a year old? He dares to be let out to play alone.
Chen Aying was also surprised: "How did this child get here?"
Just as he finished asking, Zhao Ning came trotting out from the house behind Chen Aying's house: "Chichi, stop right there!"
When Chichi realized that his mother had discovered him, he moved his two short legs even faster, heading towards the direction of the fragrant smell with a clear goal.
Zhao Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She also smelled the source of the rich fragrance. She ran even faster and used her long legs to grab her daughter by the scruff of the neck. She picked the child up. She pouted in grievance, but didn't make a fuss about being caught. She lay in her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Eat~meat!"
Zhao Ning patted her butt unhappily: "Just remember to eat."
As she turned around, she saw the group of people led by Chen Aying. She greeted them with some surprise: "Auntie, are these your relatives?"
Chen Aying: "They were young people who came to visit. They bought some vegetables from Xiaoheng's and asked me to cook them."
"Come to play?!" Zhao Ning was surprised. The next second, his eyes lit up: "Are you here for tourism?"
Ling Weihang smiled and said, "Yes, let's come and see how Boss Jiang can grow so many delicious vegetables."
Zhao Ning was immediately tempted to make money, but the next second he remembered that they were here to see Jiang Heng, so he suppressed the thought. According to Jiang Heng's previous experience, if he really needed accommodation, he would definitely contact the villagers first. Now that he didn't say anything, it probably didn't need it. So he just said, "No wonder, everything at Xiao Heng's house is great. You guys should eat well and have fun."
"good."
"goodbye."
Several people responded and continued walking with Chen Aying.
Zhao Ning held his daughter in his arms, lost in thought.
But we were about to go out for dinner, and Jiang Heng was probably eating too, so it wasn't appropriate for me to come over.
——
Arrived at Chen Aying's house.
Jiang Daqiu didn't come out.
Since they were guests, they definitely didn't eat together. The ingredients were bought at a high price, and Chen Aying was embarrassed to touch them, so all the ingredients were used, and the portion was quite large on the big table in the countryside.
The amount of food stewed in the iron pot was so large that it took two soup bowls to fill it up. It contained duck blood, duck intestines and other internal organs, so there was no waste at all.
The second is beer duck, which is relatively small in portion and only takes up a large plate.
Then there were two fish, two vegetarian dishes, and a large plate of spicy crayfish.
Not counting the variety, it looks like there are seven dishes and one soup, and each one is quite generous in portion.
The six people were attracted by the fragrance all the way to Chen Aying's house. Looking at the large table in the spacious living room full of dishes, they were attracted by the increasingly strong fragrance and their eyes were wide open.
Fortunately, Xia Yang still retained some rationality: "Auntie, where is Sister Jiang? And your granddaughter, shall we eat together?"
Chen Aying waved her hand: "No, no, you guys eat, it's more comfortable for young people to eat together. Jiang Peng went to Xiao Heng's place and took the children with him. My meal is ready, don't worry about me."
A few people wanted to pull it apart.
But Chen Aying was very adamant about this: "You all spent a lot of money, so I won't get involved. If I really want to eat, I can often eat at Xiaoheng's place. This child always sends us some of the good food he eats."
Several people: "..."
Suddenly I couldn't persuade him anymore.
What the aunt said really made them feel sad.
After a moment of daze, Chen Aying successfully escaped and returned to her room.
This made Weihang and the others feel more comfortable, and they all found a place to sit and started eating.
It was late, and all these dishes took time to prepare, especially the duck. By the time we finally got to eat it, it was already past one o'clock, and we were already starving. As soon as we sat down and picked up our chopsticks, we each headed for our favorite dish, saying, "It smells so good! I'm dying of greed!"
"Luckily, you're smart, Old Four. Otherwise, it would have been even longer before we could actually eat it..."
"Yes, going back will take time."
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat——"
Ling Weihang also shouted: "Eat meat, eat meat!"
She is a carnivore and loves to eat meat, but she still craved crayfish and picked up crayfish first.
At this time, there were six people at the table, four of them ordered crayfish, and two ordered duck.
Crayfish is so attractive!
It’s almost the end of the meal. The crayfish are indeed not as big as before, but that doesn’t mean they taste less. Chen Aying is a good cook and has made crayfish frequently in the past few months. She controls the heat just right, and the soup is spicy and fragrant. When you break open the shrimp tails and eat the shrimp meat inside, it is exceptionally tender and chewy.
Apart from the spicy, salty and fragrant seasoning, the texture of the crayfish meat can indeed be tasted. It does not have the familiar earthy smell, but is full of sweetness.
After eating several of them, Ling Weihang finally couldn't resist the fragrant duck meat in front of him, and his chopsticks went towards the duck stewed in the iron pot.
The duck meat with rich sauce flavor was still covered with thick soup and was still steaming. Fortunately, the outermost side had cooled down a lot. She took a careful bite and found a piece of duck meat with skin. The first thing she tasted was the soft duck skin.
Because of the previous stir-frying and stewing, the fat in the duck skin has been reduced by most. Instead, when stewed in the soup, it is soaked in the salty and spicy taste of the soup, and has the aroma of full duck meat.
As soon as he tasted the flavor, Weihang was pleasantly surprised. He used his teeth to eat the duck skin first, and then gnawed the duck meat with bones.
Duck meat is not as tender as chicken. The meat is relatively firm, but not tough. It is probably stewed for quite a while, so the meat is still relatively soft and rotten. With a little force, the meat can be torn off the bones. You can clearly feel the gravy being bitten out while chewing, with a flavor different from the soup itself.
That was the freshness of the meat itself, with a hint of extreme sweetness that was not covered even by the rich aroma of the sauce. The moment he tasted it, Weihang was pleasantly surprised.
The duck meat is really good quality!
It totally lived up to the wonderful fragrance it exudes.
Ling Weihang chewed the bone carefully, with his chopsticks extended in advance.
It was the same for everyone else. The bustle at the table when people were picking up food just now seemed like an illusion. Now everyone was busy eating.
While eating, he uses chopsticks to pick up food, without wasting any time.
For a moment, the only sounds were the sound of food being chewed and the clatter of dishes and chopsticks.
This time she picked up a piece of duck blood.
The duck blood is tender and smooth, and it breaks apart with a little force.
Ling Weihang quickly used a spoon to catch the duck blood. The duck blood was handmade and had some holes in it. She seldom ate duck blood of this freshness and was not prepared. When she bit it, the soup in the holes overflowed with it.
"Hmm!" Ling Weihang sucked subconsciously.
I found that this soup, no matter where it came from, was still very fresh, with less sauce and saltiness. Compared with the duck meat, it was much lighter in taste and had no fishy smell. It also had a light aroma of grass?
Although she didn't mind the taste herself, the fact that she couldn't taste it at all at this moment was really telling.
Unfortunately, she didn't have time to share with her companions. After finishing the duck blood, she was busy with the next bite.
There is also fish. The locals online said that fish is particularly delicious and not fishy at all. Even steamed grass carp is fine. Of course, since they are here, they must eat something they like more. Therefore, when given the choice, they decisively chose braised carp and stewed crucian carp.
The carp was close to her, so she moved her chopsticks over.
This time he picked up a piece of fish belly meat, a small piece, like tender tofu, with a piece of fish skin that was a little wrinkled after being fried, and put it directly into his mouth.
The first thing you taste is the fish skin covered with soup, which is soft, tender, smooth, salty and fragrant.
But when Ling Weihang ate the fish, his eyes widened.
Is this what the locals call fresh and tender?!
It’s really amazing!
The small piece of fish melted in her mouth, so tender it didn't even resemble the belly meat she remembered. Shouldn't it have deep veins and be relatively tender?!
The piece of fish she picked up was tender and white, without much soup. It had only a slight salty taste and the aroma of onions and garlic sautéed in hot oil. When she chewed it carefully, she could easily taste the sweetness of the seafood.
Just by eating it, you can tell that this fish is definitely raised in very good water quality, does not eat much feed, and is not sprayed with pesticides.
"I want to live here!" Ling Weihang sighed in his busy mouth, and quickly picked up a piece of meat with his hand.
Finally, someone at the table, which had been completely silent, said, "Who isn't?"
After saying that, Xia Yang took a bite of a piece of beer duck.
The beer duck is not as soft as the duck stewed in an iron pot, but more chewy. The teeth use force to tear the meat off the bones, and a large mouthful of meat is stuffed into the mouth. There is a faint aroma of wine while chewing, and at the same time, the sweetness and fat of the duck meat are all stimulated.
There is also the spicy and fragrant chili pepper that adds flavor, making it fresh, fragrant and spicy, making the tongue love and fear it.
Love is liking this taste, just like eating spicy strips, you can't stop while slurping it.
I'm afraid the stimulation on my tongue was too strong, especially since Xia Yang can't eat spicy food very well, and his face turned red from the spiciness.
However, after finishing the meat, she used her chopsticks to pick up the beer duck again as if by instinct.
So delicious!!!
——
They ate until they were a little full, and then the six of them slowed down their attack.
But it didn't stop.
Xia Yang filled half a bowl of fish soup, which was served after they arrived. It was boiling hot at first, so no one drank it immediately. After a while, the temperature was just right. A layer of light yellow oil floated on the surface of the milk-yellow fish soup, and it exuded a pleasant and fresh aroma.
Take a sip, and the hot soup with a slightly salty and sweet aquatic taste passes through the tip of your tongue, slightly soothing your tongue that is almost numb from the spiciness.
Slide all the way into your stomach.
Xia Yang sighed with satisfaction: "This fish soup is delicious too!"
"Really? Let me try it too!" The man with glasses, who hadn't had time to drink yet, also filled up half a bowl and stirred it with a spoon to cool it down. When he ladled it out, the soup created ripples. He slurped it up, not caring about the mist on his glasses. He buried his head in the drink and gulped it down, "It's really delicious!"
"Drink more, drink more..." Qin Xi muttered, "I can't eat anymore, but I still want to eat!"
"Hahaha, luckily I have a big appetite!" Ling Weihang was very proud and took out two pieces of tender tofu from the soup. The tofu had been cooked in fish soup for a long time and had the taste of fish soup, but it was still not good enough. As soon as she tasted the tofu, she could tell that it was not made of beans from Boss Jiang's house.
"Hey, Boss Jiang, how could you cultivate such a large piece of land and only plant so little?!"
If only she could grow soybeans to make tofu and drink tofu pudding, grow mung beans to drink mung bean soup, grow red beans to eat red bean paste buns...
I'm craving for it again.
Xia Yang and the others also lamented: "Yes, if this area was developed, we could have more delicious food!"
"It's okay, we'll come back next time. Even if we don't have chicken or duck, we still have crabs. You don't know how expensive good hairy crabs are. The crabs at Boss Jiang's are not hairy crabs, but they must be delicious too..."
"Too!"
"By the way, who of you took the photo just now? Give it to me, I'll post it on WeChat Moments." Wen Yiwei asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, the lively dining table became quiet again.
Several people looked at each other.
"Huh? You didn't take any pictures either?"
"You know I never take pictures."
“Why don’t you take pictures?”
“Isn’t it always the phone that eats first?”
“…”
Okay.
They had to hurry up and clean up the dishes before a mess was made. They took a few photos of the key points and quickly started eating again.
There was the sound of "crunching" of the crayfish shell being bitten open, the sound of chewing the duck meat, the sound of "slurping" of the fish soup, and the occasional slow slurping of some vegetarian dishes.
Several people worked hard for more than half an hour, and their stomachs were full, but they still couldn't finish everything.
So honest.
No matter how much they bought, Chen Aying made sure she bought everything and even added some side dishes.
I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
The key point is that they are here for tourism, and they can’t reheat the food even if they want to pack it up.
Xia Yang couldn't help but think of staying here again, but he quickly gave up. Boss Jiang was right in reminding him that without a business license, safety was not guaranteed. Although most people are good people nowadays, it's still a matter of precaution.
Never mind, then...
Eat one more bite!
Then he picked up another crayfish.
Crayfish is delicious and doesn’t take up too much space in your stomach.
They were all playing together and had similar personalities. They were reluctant to part with the food and were still trying hard to stuff it in their stomachs. The man with glasses even regretted it: "I should have brought my portable pot earlier..."
I'm going to die of stuffing.
But I really can't bear to waste it.
——
Jiang Heng doesn't need to waste this.
She has a big appetite!
There were two ducks, and she killed one too.
It’s still the same old rule: the parts with less meat or tough meat are blanched and made into soup, while the rest of the duck meat is roasted.
Thinking that Chen Aying had guests and Xiaoxiao was a little socially anxious, Jiang Heng called Jiang Peng and his mother to eat together. The duck was fat and it would be greasy to eat it alone. With the side dishes, it was just right for three people.
There were not many vegetables in the backyard, so the duck was made into spicy duck.
The method is the same as that of spicy crab, using chili peppers that she grows herself.
The pepper trees grew vigorously. Even though only two or three of each type of pepper were planted, they still produced a lot of fruit.
After drying, they were preserved. Jiang Heng gave some away and asked Song Ming to help make mushroom chili sauce and chili sauce. He also made some pure spicy chili powder. The rest was estimated to be enough to be eaten for two or three years.
There will be no need to grow peppers in the short term.
The spicy duck at this time is made with these peppers. The taste is really fragrant, spicy and pungent, making you sneeze constantly. But when it is blended with duck meat, the spiciness seems to be softened, making people unable to help but smell it a few more times.
Although my nose can't stand it much.
So much so that the three of them had red noses while eating.
Choked by the chili pepper.
But the duck meat cooked in this way tastes good.
It is not stewed for a long time, and is cooked over high heat at the end to reduce the sauce. The duck meat is spicy and tasty, very oily, and you can't stop eating it.
After they finished eating, not only did their noses turn red, but their mouths were also swollen.
Jiang Peng forced himself to drink some honey water. When his numb tongue felt better, he said with a thick tongue, "This is delicious, but it's too spicy."
Xiaoxiao nodded with tears in her eyes: "Delicious!"
Spicy, but I still want to eat it.
Jiang Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "Then I should put less chili next time?"
Jiang Peng hesitated for two seconds and said, "Why not just leave it like this?"
Although it is spicy, it is really fragrant. Combined with the meaty aroma of the duck meat with fat, it tastes really delicious.
Jiang Heng clicked his tongue.
They ate first, and after a while, they saw Ling Weihang and the others going to the contracted area with great enthusiasm. They even greeted her before leaving. It was already past two o'clock, and the sun was still very strong at this time. I don't know where they got the motivation from.
What a young man.
Jiang Peng also sighed, quickened his movements, and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, give Mommy some water."
Xiaoxiao immediately came over with a cup of water: "Drink carefully."
Jiang Peng's eyes curved, and he gulped down two mouthfuls. The numbness on the tip of his tongue had almost faded away.
It got better so quickly.
Just then, the familiar sound of a child's cheerful "Ahhh" was heard outside the door.
