"When making blood duck, duck blood is the key," Chu Xun said, opening the pot lid.
The aroma wafted over, filling the entire educated youth settlement. Little White drooled all over the ground, wagging its tail incessantly, its whole body screaming "I want to eat!"
Li Xiyue rubbed its head, "Don't rush, it's not ripe yet."
"Woof woof." Little White barked softly at her, "We dogs can eat raw food, we're not picky."
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "That won't do, you'll get sick. Let's wait a bit longer."
"All right."
Chu Xun used a spatula to scoop out the soup and put it into the duck blood, then began to stir the duck blood.
His tall figure made the stove appear rather small.
The apron seemed a bit out of place on him, but the way he worked was so earnest and had a unique charm that was very attractive.
Li Xiyue looked at him with her chin resting on her hand, a faint smile on her lips. Men who cook seriously are indeed the most charming.
Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui, who were learning to cook nearby, exchanged glances and made faces at each other.
"The duck blood needs to be stirred to this consistency so that the blood on the surface looks nice." Chu Xun showed the three of them the duck blood in the bowl.
Wang Jiaxing said, "It seems like there's a bit of skill involved in mixing it well."
"Actually, you don't need any special skills. Just keep stirring vigorously. Your hands will feel sore at first, but you'll get used to it."
After Chu Xun finished speaking, seeing that the soup in the pot had almost reduced, he said to Li Xiyue, who was tending the fire, "Now we need to turn the heat down to low."
Li Xiyue nodded and pulled out the excess firewood from the stove.
Add the side dishes and stir-fry until just cooked. Chu Xun then begins to bleed the duck meat.
Pour the duck blood into the pot and stir constantly until the duck blood evenly coats the duck meat. Then, turn up the heat and stir-fry the duck blood until cooked.
"It smells so good!" Huang Xinrui kept circling around the stove, and Xiaobai followed her in the same way.
The man and his dog were incredibly excited.
Wang Jiaxing tugged at her sleeve, "There are guests here, so be mindful of your image."
“Deputy Regiment Commander Chu isn’t an outsider,” Huang Xinrui said with a smile.
Chu Xun liked hearing this. He said in a relaxed manner, "Everyone, don't be so reserved. You are Xi Yue's friends, and I am also Xi Yue's friend. So we are all friends. Friends should be more casual with each other."
"See? I told you Deputy Commander Chu wasn't as old-fashioned as you." Huang Xinrui scolded Wang Jiaxing, then looked outside. "The weather's getting hotter and hotter lately, let's eat in the courtyard."
It's getting hot, and it gets dark later; it's still light outside.
Wang Jiaxing and Li Xiyue both agreed. Wang Jiaxing moved the table outside, Huang Xinrui and Li Xiyue moved the stools outside, and Chu Xun put the duck meat into a basin and brought it to the table.
Huang Xinrui went back into the house to get bowls and chopsticks.
Wang Jiaxing asked, "Are you still stir-frying green vegetables?"
The ducks were very plump, and there was a whole basin of them, enough for the four of them to eat.
"Stir-fry, of course we'll stir-fry," Huang Xinrui said. "A good life is one with meat and vegetables."
Wang Jiaxing's tone was full of doting affection, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Li Xiyue smiled, the two of them were getting along like an old married couple.
Chu Xun was right. Vegetables stir-fried with duck fat are very fragrant and fresh. A bite with rice is absolutely delicious.
But the best dish is blood duck. Although it's stir-fried with duck blood, it has no fishy smell at all. It's salty and spicy, and goes very well with rice.
"How can such good food be without wine?" Li Xiyue went into the house and brought out a bottle of wine.
Huang Xinrui then asked Chu Xun, "How is your alcohol tolerance, Deputy Commander Chu? My Yueyue has a very good alcohol tolerance, you know."
