Chapter 317 Roast Duck
Just run and consider it as a way to keep fit.
However...
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and changed the subject: "Is this matter okay? Should we meet with Brigade Commander Wei and explain it to him?"
Regardless of who is right or wrong, it is a fact that the two children fought.
Given Jiang Yuan's personality, I don't know how she will explain this to Brigade Commander Wei.
Liu Yinyin was a little worried. After all, Brigade Commander Wei was Gu Cheng's superior. If her relationship with him became strained, it would have some impact on Gu Cheng.
Moreover, Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and asked Gu Cheng: "...What do you think of your Brigade Commander Wei?"
well!
She didn't want to say anything bad about her superior Gu Cheng, but the wife that Brigade Commander Wei married was indeed a bit unreliable.
They don't have much contact now, but Jiang Yuan is a teacher at the school and I heard that she will be the principal in the future.
Gu Yanyan will have to go to school one day. What if he becomes Jiang Yuan’s student?
"Don't worry. Brigade Commander Wei is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between public and private matters. I'll explain it to him tomorrow," said Gu Cheng.
He didn't know what kind of person Jiang Yuan was, but Brigade Commander Wei, like them, had come through gunfire and hail of bullets, and was a leader worthy of respect.
Liu Yinyin didn't understand all this, but she believed what Gu Cheng said. Since he said it was okay, there shouldn't be any big problems.
I didn’t go shopping for groceries today, so Liu Yinyin pickled a handful of dried eggplants and wild mushrooms.
I simply fried two dishes in the evening, fried pork belly with dried eggplant and fried mushrooms with bok choy.
After dinner, it was still raining outside.
It is highly likely that it will not be sunny tomorrow, and the figs I picked today will not last for many days.
Liu Yinyin washed the figs and steamed them in a pot.
A round baking iron grid was placed on the stove, and the steamed figs were placed directly on the iron grid to bake until dry.
The weather on the island is changeable and not very suitable for drying fruits, so Liu Yinyin asked someone to make a few iron baking nets.
When there is no sun, you can dry it directly over a fire.
I was busy until quite late.
The next day, it was still drizzling outside, but fortunately there was no thunder.
Liu Yinyin sent Gu Yanyan to the nursery first. Before leaving, she asked Xu Zhenzhen to help her keep an eye on Gu Yanyan, fearing that they would fight again today.
Xu Zhenzhen told her: "Don't worry, Wei Zitao didn't come to the nursery today. He took two days off."
Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "Why, is the injury not healed yet?"
Xu Zhenzhen shook her head: "No, I heard that Wei Zitao himself didn't want to come."
Yesterday, two or three other kids didn't beat Gu Yanyan. Perhaps because he felt that he had lost face as the "little bully", Wei Zitao refused to come to the nursery.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Okay, I hope you're fine.
There was no strong wind last night, so the supply and marketing cooperative supplied a lot of supplies today.
In addition to figs, watermelons, fish and shrimp, there was also a basket of ducks.
Zheng Qiangwei came over to discuss with Liu Yinyin: "Let's buy a duck and split it in half?"
Similar to pork, duck is also available once or twice a week.
It's a rare opportunity to eat meat, so I have to buy it.
Buying just one duck would be too much, and Zheng Qiangwei and her husband couldn't finish it.
Liu Yinyin saw that the rain outside had stopped and suddenly said, "I heard that the roast duck in the capital is delicious..."
Zheng Qiangwei said casually: "Yes, when the weather gets cold, I will ask my parents to send two roast ducks to eat..."
As she spoke, Zheng Qiangwei suddenly responded: "You mean, we can make roast duck ourselves?"
"It's boring to keep stewing duck. It's good to change the taste occasionally." Liu Yinyin said, "If you know how to cook it, we can try it."
Liu Yinyin has never been to the capital in her life, so it is not easy for her to say openly that she can cook roast duck.
Zheng Qiangwei was interested for a moment, but she really couldn't say anything else.
But having grown up eating roast duck in the capital, I know a little bit about it.
Even if she didn't know, there was still Yang Yiming, and both of them were born and raised in the capital.
Zheng Qiangwei immediately said, "Then let's not separate the ducks. I'll try it this afternoon. When you get home from get off work, you can eat roast duck directly."
She was the only one who didn't have to go to work in the afternoon.
Liu Yinyin: "...Okay, I have plenty of seasonings at home. I'll marinate the duck at noon and then get a stove to roast it all afternoon."
Zheng Qiangwei only needs to be responsible for watching the progress in the afternoon. Liu Yinyin is really worried about leaving everything to her alone.
It's just a duck. It would be a pity to waste it.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yinyin suggested: "How about we have dinner together tonight? I'll make some other food. Coincidentally, I still have a big watermelon at home that I haven't had time to eat yet."
Since we have to make roast duck anyway, Liu Yinyin thought, we could take the opportunity to make some barbecue to eat.
There is a lot of seafood on the island, which is actually very suitable for barbecue.
It happened that it wasn't raining, so we could set up a stove in the yard to roast duck and seafood.
The more Liu Yinyin thought about it, the more excited she became. Barbecue...
I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I suddenly miss it.
"Okay, okay." When it comes to food, Zheng Qiangwei said quickly, "I'll go to the village to buy more seafood this afternoon."
Liu Yinyin told her that she could buy some oysters, prawns, squid, scallops...
Garlic-grilled oysters, scallop vermicelli, and grilled squid are all seafood suitable for barbecue.
After arriving home at noon, Liu Yinyin first marinated the duck and colored it with sugar water.
Gu Cheng and Yang Yiming knew that they were going to make roast duck, so they built a temporary stove in the yard.
Light a charcoal fire inside and roast the sugar-coated duck directly inside.
The rest will be left to Zheng Qiangwei...
In the afternoon, as soon as it was time to get off work, Liu Yinyin hurried to the nursery to pick up Gu Yanyan and take him home.
Before I even got home, the rich aroma of barbecue hit my nose.
Gu Yanyan sniffed: "Mom, I miss you so much..."
Liu Yinyin bought a few bottles of soda and said, "Your Aunt Rose is making something delicious for you."
It looks like Zheng Qiangwei's roast duck did not fail.
She was right. As soon as she got home, Zheng Qiangwei smiled and told her, "Look at this roast duck. It's so delicious. It's not much worse than the roast duck sold in the capital."
The roast duck is cooked to perfect temperature, the skin is bright red and shiny, and exudes bursts of aroma.
Ducks that are raised naturally are very fat, and you can see hot oil sizzling on them.
It was worth it that Zheng Qiangwei waited for the whole afternoon, adding charcoal to the fire and applying oil, for fear that the duck would be ruined in her hands.
Fortunately, hard work pays off and the roast duck was very successful this time.
Gu Yanyan stared at the roast duck with his eyes wide open, his saliva almost flowing out.
Liu Yinyin smelled the fragrance and felt a little strange: "Did you add something?"
Zheng Qiangwei smiled mysteriously: "You may not know that roast duck also needs to be roasted with fruit wood. The duck absorbs the fragrance of the fruit wood, which not only smells good, but also tastes more delicious."
