Chapter 217 Everything Can Be Braised
After agreeing to Yun Ruo to host the wedding banquet for the Xie and Yun families, Chen Huazheng would think about dishes suitable for the wedding banquet whenever she had free time, and would discuss it with Zhou Ying from time to time.
Usually at times like this, Princess Lejia would sit aside, eating pastries and listening to the two of them discussing.
On this day, after Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia had lunch, they came to the Shen Mansion again.
They took all factors into consideration, first listed some suitable dishes, and after some deletions and reductions, the wedding banquet menu was finally finalized.
The matter that had been troubling for several days finally came to a conclusion. Even Princess Lejia, who had no objection at all and just wanted to keep the company, breathed a sigh of relief.
“The menu is finally finalized, it’s so great!!”
Princess Lejia looked at Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying with a smile: "It just so happens that my grandmother just gave me a few bottles of honey plum wine. It tastes good and warms the body. It is the most suitable for drinking in winter. Why don't I ask someone to go back to the mansion to get it, and we can have a few drinks to celebrate."
Zhou Ying smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I heard that the fruit wine brewed by the Princess's Mansion is the most delicious. It seems that we are in for a treat today."
Today's weather is much colder than yesterday. It would be very comfortable if I could have a sip of honey plum wine.
Chen Huazheng naturally had no objection, "Okay, then let's celebrate. But if we want to drink, how can we miss some snacks?"
She paused, then continued, "I braised the duck, it should be ready to eat now. It's perfect as a side dish."
Everything can be braised, and braised duck is especially delicious.
Zhou Ying was puzzled: "Zheng'er, what is duck goods?"
Princess Lejia looked excited: "Zhengzheng, have you prepared the snacks?"
Although Princess Lejia didn't know what duck goods were, she couldn't care about anything else now. Her mind was filled with only one thought - Zheng Zheng and she were indeed in sync.
Hehehe~~~
Chen Huazheng smiled: "You will know in a while."
Zhou Ying & Princess Le Jia: (.＾▽＾)
Zheng'er/Zheng Zheng is going to give us another surprise.

Shen Huazheng and the other two came to the kitchen and smelled an enticing aroma as soon as they entered the door.
Guessing that the duck in the pot was almost done, Shen Huazheng scooped out a small plate and handed it to Zhou Ying and Princess Le Jia.
"Try it."
Chen Huazheng braised a lot of duck, some spicy and some not.
This pot has the spicy flavor that both Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia like.
"good."
Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia smelled the overbearing fragrance in the air and picked up their chopsticks.
Princess Lejia was the first to eat the duck wings. She picked up a duck wing with chopsticks and took a light bite.
The meat of the duck wings is firm, chewy and tough. The aroma of the marinade permeates the meat, and when you chew it carefully, the fresh, spicy and meaty flavor of the duck meat instantly fills your lips and cheeks.
Halfway through the meal, the spiciness gradually becomes stronger, rising up layer by layer, but it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
On the contrary, the more you chew it, the more fragrant and delicious it becomes!
Zhou Ying picked up a duck neck with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The duck neck is full, and the spicy taste of the marinade and the tender and smooth pork are very satisfying. It's numbing, spicy, and fragrant.
The more you eat, the more obvious the spicy feeling between your lips and tongue becomes.
They drank a few sips of tea to get rid of the spiciness and continued eating, trying all the braised duck pieces in the bowl.
The duck gizzards are chewy and the full and rich feeling makes you feel instantly satisfied when you take a bite.
The rich aroma of the stew combined with the delicious taste of the duck gizzards is so addictive.
The skin of duck feet is thick and tendonous. When you bite it, you feel the elasticity at first, and then the tip of your tongue touches a large amount of gelatin.
After a long period of stewing, the duck feet have absorbed the brine.
As you chew, the juice from the duck's feet bursts in your mouth.
Before they knew it, Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia had finished the entire bowl of stew.
Even the lotus root slices that were served as a side dish were not left behind.
Zhou Ying drank the tea in the cup and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"These braised ducks are really delicious! Although they are spicy, they are not too spicy to be unbearable. They are really delicious."
Princess Lejia also drank a sip of tea with great satisfaction: "So stewed duck is made by putting all parts of the duck into the pot and stewing it. It's really delicious. No wonder Zhengzheng said she prepared some side dishes. These stewed ducks are great as snacks, not to mention side dishes."
Just then, a maid came to report that the person sent by Princess Lejia to fetch wine had returned.
Chen Huazheng asked the maids to take out all the braised duck from the pot and put it in a large porcelain plate.
"Come on, let's go have a few drinks."
Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying both smiled: "Let's go!"
