"Just wait for me to marinate the duck. It will be ready soon."
When Zhou Chaoyang found the yellow mud, Zhou Ziwen was busy.
"Ziwen, let me do it. The seasonings are ready, right?" Chen Shiying washed her hands, dried them, and walked over.
"Well, everything is in place. Just spread it evenly." Zhou Ziwen didn't hesitate to get out of the way and let her do it.
"Leave it to me." Chen Shiying nodded naturally.
She is very skilled at this kind of helping job.
After washing his hands, Zhou Ziwen went outside and set up the roast duck stove with Zhou Chaoyang.
This thing doesn't require any skills. Two people, one mixing the mud and the other building the stove, quickly built the roast duck oven.
"Let's light a fire and roast it first!"
The stove is newly built and not yet strong enough, so the moisture inside needs to be dried out.
Fortunately, it is still early, and it takes quite a while to marinate the duck.
Zhou Ziwen no longer participated in what happened next.
Zhou Chaoyang was responsible for making fire, while Chen Shiying was responsible for pickling. He just walked back and forth between the two sides.
Chat with girls and brag with Zhou Chaoyang.
Time soon came to evening.
The roast duck had been roasting in the oven for a long time, and the tempting aroma was wafting through the house.
If it weren't for the cold weather outside and the chilly wind, the fragrance might have drifted all the way to the Youth League Home.
In the kitchen inside the house, the aroma of braised pork with preserved vegetables was also wafting through the air.
The aroma of roast duck and braised pork with preserved vegetables mixed together, causing Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi to swallow their saliva continuously.
"Brother Zhou, what day is today? Why does it feel like Chinese New Year?" Shen Zhaodi ran to the roast duck and then to the kitchen. The rich aroma made people linger.
"It's not a big day, it just happened to happen." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"This is too extravagant. Why do I feel that our behavior is a bit like capitalism...ah!" Shen Zhaodi said exaggeratedly.
"You can't say that! The New Year is coming soon, so we might as well celebrate in advance." Zhou Ziwen knocked her on the head. This girl was so carefree and dared to say anything.
"Hehe, I didn't say anything." Shen Zhaodi stuck out her tongue, looking like she knew she was wrong.
Zhou Ziwen didn't care. After all, they were all family, so it was okay for them to speak casually. They just had to control their mouths when they were outside.
This girl knows the importance of things, so she naturally won't talk nonsense outside.
By the time it was getting dark, the roast duck and braised pork with preserved vegetables were ready.
Because there were so many people, Chen Shiying specially prepared a few more dishes.
In the middle of the meal, Chen Zhaodi also brought some dishes over, as a companion for today.
When it comes to preserved plum pork, it tastes best after being left overnight and steamed for the second time.
However, due to time constraints, there is definitely no time to wait overnight today.
In order to make the preserved plum pork taste better, Chen Shiying steamed it for an entire afternoon, making the pork so soft that it melts in the mouth.
"You really put in so much effort." Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart.
This dish of Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables was specially made for him. Not only was it so delicious, even if it was hard to swallow, he would still enjoy it.
"Brother Zhou, this roast duck is so delicious! Even though I haven't eaten it yet, I already know that this is definitely the best roast duck I've ever had in my life."
Zhou Chaoyang gave a thumbs up and said in an exaggerated tone.
"Haha, with your family's living conditions, what kind of scenes have you not seen? My skills are just mediocre." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, you think too highly of our family. To be honest, the food we eat is pretty ordinary. I think it's not as good as what we eat in the countryside." Zhou Chaoyang spread his hands.
He was telling the truth. His old man was quite frugal and didn't like to be extravagant when it came to food.
However, because of my position, I can get some benefits from time to time.
But generally speaking, it is not much better than an ordinary person's family.
"Okay, since you like it, then eat more. If you can get duck next time, I'll get it for you." Zhou Ziwen encouraged.
"It depends on luck. I was lucky to meet him this time."
Today he went for a stroll by the river and happened to meet a group of wild ducks, so he hurried home to get a backpack and a rope, made a simple trap, and waited for a long time before finally catching a duck.
"Haha, he's really lucky this time. If he wants to have the same luck again next time, he's probably just dreaming." Shen Zhaodi poured cold water on him.
This girl is used to arguing with Zhou Chaoyang, and she will argue with him no matter what he says.
"I just don't believe it. What if I catch another duck?" Zhou Chaoyang drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and asked with great pride.
"If you really get it, I will help you wash clothes for a week." Shen Zhaodi rolled her eyes and said.
"Not a week, at least a month."
How can he change his clothes so frequently these days? Maybe a week will pass and he still hasn’t changed a single pair of clothes!
If he really wins, he will lose!
"Okay, one month is one month. What if you lose?" Shen Zhaodi was not willing to be outdone, and the aura of a heroic woman came over her.
"Then I will wash your clothes for a month." Zhou Chaoyang gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, you said it, let's high-five and swear it."
"good."
Bang bang bang!
Looking at the two of them playing, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but sigh, it's great to be young.
An aunt-like smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After chatting and laughing, everyone felt a little full after the meal.
Especially Zhou Ziwen, in order not to disappoint the girl, he ate most of the preserved vegetable pork with two large pieces of fat meat by himself.
Of course, the others ate a lot too, just not as much as he did.
In fact, the most suitable meat for making preserved vegetable pork is pork belly.
But in this era, everyone is short of oil and water, and pork belly and the like are considered not as good as fat in everyone's eyes.
That plump fat is what everyone likes most.
"Chaoyang, didn't you say you wanted to learn boxing from me? Have you made up your mind?" Zhou Ziwen slumped in the chair, not wanting to move.
However, based on his understanding of Zhou Chaoyang, it would be a bit risky to ask him to practice boxing.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth, the boy pretended to cover his head and said weakly: "Brother Zhou, I really want to drink too much tonight, why don't we learn tomorrow!"
"Okay, whatever you want!" Zhou Ziwen nodded indifferently.
Your body is your own, and whether you learn or not is your own business.
If he didn't learn it, he could save a lot of time.
Just like Chen Qiaoyi, he never forced her to practice boxing. At most, he would help her burn some energy and exercise her body at night.
With him as a master of boxing, doing some difficult moves can have a very good training effect.
However, this is also considered his secret and unique skill. Most people have never seen it, let alone heard of it. (End of this chapter)
