As she spoke, Li Xiaoran was about to drool.
As a foodie, Li Xiaoran quickly asked someone to buy a few ducks from Uncle
He’s house.
She had a simplified version of an oven that she could make do with. (f)reenovelkiss.com
The oven used to make roasted duck was different. It had to be specifically made by a blacksmith.
However, this didn’t stop Li Xiaoran from making some herself to satisfy her cravings.
Soon, ten ducks were bought.
Luo Cheng personally came to help.
They killed the ducks, bled them, boiled water, and boiled the fur..
After the procedures were completed, Li Xiaoran asked someone to collect all the duck feathers. After washing them, she placed them on the flat lid to dry.
After they removed the things in their heads, necks, wings, feet, and internal organs, Li Xiaoran was in charge of marinating.
The others continued to wash the ingredients they had just brought over. free(w)ebnovel(.)com
It took a lot of effort to wash the duck gizzards and duck intestines.
After these ingredients were washed, Li Xiaoran began to make spicy braised seasoning.
The sugar was already stir-fried, and there were also a lot of spices in the seasoning packet.
After these ingredients were blanched, they were placed in braised water. Because everyone liked to eat spicy food, Li Xiaoran grabbed a large handful of dried chili this time.
In addition, there was also a lot of ginger, garlic, and onions.
At the mention of this, she had to praise Guan Kang.
Due to Guan Kang’s special ability, the quality of the things they planted was very mgn.
Take onions, ginger, garlic, and chili for example. Not only was the yield high, but the quality was also superb.
These dried chili were different from the dried chili planted elsewhere. Not only was it spicy, but it also smelled much better.
By the time the spicy braised ingredients were cooked, Li Xiaoran was already sweating.
At this moment, the ducks had only been marinated for an hour, so they still had to continue marinating.
Li Xiaoran felt very sticky and uncomfortable, so she simply asked someone to boil a large pot of hot water and went to take a warm shower.
When she walked out in high spirits, she realized that many people had come to her courtyard.
When they looked over, they saw that their parents, grandfather, grandmother, and Granny Jin had all run over.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Granny Jin, Father, Mother, why are you here?” Li Xiaoran walked over happily.
“Why are we here? We smelled the food.” Old Madam Jin teased, “I smelled the aroma even when I used to live on the official road, let alone them, who live so close to you guys!”
Xu Xiufang said with a smile, “That’s right. Ah -Gong and I came over to talk to your mother. Unexpectedly, we smelled a very delicious aroma. I couldn’t help but feel hungry!”
“Then you’ll have to stay hungry a little longer! I haven’t even made my roasted duck yet!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
“Roast duck? What’s roast duck?” the group asked in confusion.
Old Madam Jin thought for a moment and said, “I’ve eaten roasted duck once, but it didn’t taste good. It smelled so bad that I didn’t want to eat it after taking a bite!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she laughed.
“Granny Jin, don’t worry. The roasted duck I make is definitely top-quality. I guarantee that you’ll want to eat it again!” Li Xiaoran boasted proudly.
“Alright, I’ll sit here and wait!” Old Madam Jin said with a smile.
Xu Xiufang couldn’t help but ask, “If it’s really that delicious, we’re in luck! However, Xiaoran, can people like us, who are old and have bad teeth, eat roasted duck?”
“Granny, don’t worry ! Actually, there are many ways to eat duck. Not only roast duck, but salted duck, sweet-skinned duck, and plate duck all have their own tastes. I forgot about these dishes when I was busy previously. Now that I remembered them, I’ll cook all this delicious food first!” Li Xiaoran became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.
“Then how many ducks do we need tomorrow? Why don’t we do it together tomorrow?! If it tastes good, we can plan how to do this business! After all, Uncle Guan raises a lot of ducks!” Luo Cheng asked.
“If we get too many ducks, it’ll be troublesome to clean them!” Li Xiaoran said hesitantly, ‘Why don’t we get ten more tomorrow?”
“Let’s go buy 30 ducks tomorrow. Let’s get 10 salted ducks, sweet-skinned ducks, and pressed ducks each. Coincidentally, your grandma and I have nothing to do at home, so we might as well come over and help you kill ducks!” Zhao Huaishan thought of something and said, “In the future, if you want to do this business, you can consider old people like us when hiring people. Not to mention anything else, we can at least do tasks like pulling duck feathers!” When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s words, she immediately laughed. It seemed that the old man had nothing to do all day long!
“Alright, I’ll listen to you!” Li Xiaoran agreed.
Because Zhao Huaishan was right. The old man could just move a stool and sit there while working. Everyone could talk while working together to earn some pocket money. Why not?
As Li Xiaoran spoke, it was time to marinate the duck. Li Xiaoran quickly went to take out the duck and hung it up with a special hook.
After that, Li Xiaoran injected the duck’s skin with water. When all the water entered the duck’s meat, she placed the duck in the oven and roasted it.
The simplified oven wasn’t big, so it could only roast three ducks at a time.
Moreover, the roasted duck had been cooked for a long time. When the spicy braised ingredients were almost done being cooked, Li Xiaoran quickly asked someone to put out the fire and let the various ingredients continue to soak in the braised water.
At this moment, the aroma of spicy braised food was much less intense, but the aroma of roasted duck slowly wafted out.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she simply took this opportunity to gather everyone in the house to build a bigger oven.
After the construction was done, in order to speed things up, Li Xiaoran placed the remaining seven roasted ducks in the oven to roast.
At noon, the spicy braised food had already been scooped up and cooled.
Seeing that everyone was at home today, Li Xiaoran cooked a few dishes personally, then everyone sat together to eat.
As they ate, they nibbled on the spicy braised meat. Then, everyone praised the taste of this spicy braised meat.
Even Old Madam Jin, who usually didn’t eat spicy food, nibbled on the duck skull with relish and said with a smile, “Sigh, I can’t bite anything else, but I can bite this duck skull! It’s really delicious!”
