Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 161 Braised duck (3)

The "hot sale" of the braised duck products that tested the waters exceeded Ji Caimai's imagination. When Wen Mingtang was found and Wen Mingtang was already cooking the next pot of duck products, Ji Caimai nodded in satisfaction, and said to Wen Mingtang: "That's good. Those servants say it's good. It's also very good to eat as a snack on weekdays. In my opinion, the daily supply will definitely exceed the demand!"

   It turns out that snacks are more than just sweet cakes and pastries, such as lo mei can also be used as snacks!

  On weekdays, most of the snacks are sweet pastries, girls like it more, but not many men are keen on it. Compared to this, stewed duck products are liked by both men and women!

  Yu Jijiu from the Guozijian next door staged another "face-slapping" scene today. When he was having lunch, he came over to take a look, and seeing that it was a duck, he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't like ducks, and I wouldn't even eat them if I died!"

  He forced to "gift" a few duck necks, collarbones, duck wings, duck feet, and Yu Jijiu to taste.

As a result, less than half an hour after lunch, Yu Jijiu came over again, and asked him while wiping his mouth: "Is there any more duck? It's delicious! It's delicious! I'll take it back and taste it with my family! "

  Ji Caimai pointed to the empty plate and said, "The sacrificial wine is late, come back tomorrow!"

  When I was having lunch, I still "won't eat it even if I die", but now it's "really fragrant and delicious", and the "persistence" of the master Jijiu next door is still the same as before!

  Most people didn't eat the stewed duck today. They bought a large plate of Lin Fei early, but there were not only leftovers here, but they even brought them back to try something new.

  …

  After summer, the sky gets darker and later. When Marquis Jingyun returned to the mansion, it was still broad daylight. Usually at this hour, the evening food in the mansion had not been finished yet.

  After thinking about it, Jing Yunhou decided not to go to the main hall, but to go back to the main courtyard study to read books or something.

  Going back to the main courtyard, I had to go through the main hall, but today I heard laughter from the main courtyard before I reached the entrance of the main hall.

  What are you so happy about? Jing Yunhou was quite surprised.

  The rule of not talking when eating or sleeping is not as strict as some families in the Jingyunhou Mansion, but people rarely talk at the dinner table on weekdays. Even if there was a sentence or two that I had to say, I finished it in a low voice and continued to eat.

  It is really rare to see people laughing at the dinner table like today!

  Jing Yunhou became interested, and he turned around to go to the study, walked into the main hall, stepped into the door, and the sound of laughter came into his ears clearly.

"I like duck wings, the meat is not too much, and the two bones in the middle are not difficult to pick, just right!" It was a young woman's voice, and Jing Yunhou quickly recognized the young woman's identity—Suizhu Princess.

The eldest son has only recently settled his marriage with Princess Suizhu, and he will be regarded as his own family in the future. Both his Jingyunhou Mansion and the county prince's mansion are not old-fashioned and pedantic. Now that the marriage is settled, he can move around. There will be no restraint in living together in the future.

   Therefore, during these days, Princess Suizhu often enters the mansion to talk with Mrs. Jingyunhou.

   "Duck feet are also good," said the eldest son's voice, "the meat is crispy and chewy, and it's fun to eat!"

   "Duck wings and duck paws are both good," Mrs. Jing Yunhou said in the last voice, "This duck neck is the most interesting to eat, save some for your father to try!"

   The duck wings, duck feet, and duck neck seem to be eating ducks? Jing Yunhou raised his eyebrows in surprise: the duck is very delicate to make, because it is born with a duck smell, it is difficult for ordinary cooks to do it well. It was ready, as far as he knew, none of them seemed to like ducks.

  Could it be...

Just thinking like this, Princess Suizhu smiled and said: "I didn't eat these things at first, even the cooks in the mansion sometimes feel tired of cooking them! But I really didn't expect there to be such a food in the public kitchen of Dali Temple. A master craftsman, I like the Liangpi, ice powder, sour plum drink and duck products very much!"

   Sure enough... Marquis Jing Yun shook his head with a smile, and walked in with a stomach that still had three points left.

In the main hall, when Princess Suizhu said "I like it", Mrs. Jingyunhou immediately smiled and said, "Since I like it, I will come here every day, and A Fei will bring some back every day. The dishes made by the master are very novel and interesting." !"

  The phrase "come every day" made Princess Suizhu's face turn red, and she glanced at the elder son who was beside her, and although she was a little shy, she still responded.

  Jing Yunhou walked in at this time, and after surpassing everyone nodded, he walked to Mrs. Jing Yunhou, sat down, and said, "Erlang brought food back again?"

  Madam Hou nodded, pointed to a box of untouched duck necks under the food box, glanced at the Duke's Mansion opposite, and said, "It's suitable for drinking."

  Jing Yunhou understood, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid I won't accept it."

   "It's the father's fault if he doesn't take care of him. How can you, a son, live alone?" Mrs. Hou said.

This is reasonable, Jing Yunhou recruited a servant to send the box of duck necks to the opposite side, and after a short while, the servant came back with the duck neck, and said with a helpless and habitual expression: "National! The father-in-law said that he had eaten evening food, so he can just ask Lord Hou to keep it for himself!"

   "It's useless no matter how good her cooking skills are." Jing Yunhou picked up a duck neck and gnawed on it, then shook his head at his wife, "This is the bottom line of my father."

   "I know this is the bottom line," Mrs. Jing Yunhou said, "Let's send it off first, and let's talk about the future!"

   This is what the second son specifically confessed, and the food he brings back every day has to go back and forth to the opposite Duke's mansion like this.

  So the father-in-law just watched them eating tea eggs, Bobo chicken, braised pork, Liangpi, and braised duck in the Guogong Mansion opposite...

  Mrs. Jing Yunhou suddenly felt that this scene was really weird, but she didn't understand the second son's intention of explaining all this.

  Of course eating can’t shake the bottom line! Lin Fei naturally understood this truth. He just felt that Wen Xuance's case was a bit weird. If the truth was not what everyone saw, what he did today... After that, he tapped his index finger on the table: it might come in handy in the future.

  Opening the account book in front of him, Lin Fei continued to look through it.

  …

  Wen Mingtang was also squatting on the ground looking through it at this time...not books and account books, but the beef, heart, and lung that Ji Caimai brought from Zhuangzi...

  The most meat-based ingredients sent by Zhuangzi are pigs, fish, chickens, ducks, etc. This is the first time Wen Mingtang has seen cattle since he came to Dali Temple.

"It's really not much. It happened to be there this time, and I heard you said that stewed beef is also delicious, so I brought it!" Ji Caimai said this, but turned to the "rather miscellaneous" brother Niu in front of him, feeling a little headache He said, "It's just a single piece of beef, but it's not too much. I'm afraid it won't be much for one person to make a stewed beef. Master Wen, look at this..."

Wen Mingtang, who was squatting on the ground looking through the pages, heard the words, looked up at Ji Caimai, and smiled: "Then let's cook the braised beef next time, the messy bunch of cow brothers in front of me can just cook the same new food as me! "

   Guess what Master Wen will do tomorrow^-^
