Chapter 161 Braised Duck (3)
The "hot selling" of the braised duck product that was tested was beyond Ji Caimai's imagination. When he found Wen Mingtang, he saw that Wen Mingtang was already cooking the next pot of duck product. Ji Caimai nodded with satisfaction and said to Wen Mingtang: "This is good. The servants say it's good. It's great as a snack on weekdays. In my opinion, the supply will definitely exceed the demand every day!"
It turns out that snacks are not just sweet cakes and pastries, but braised food like these can also be used as snacks!
On weekdays, most snacks are sweet pastries. Girls like them more, but not many men are keen on them. Compared to this, the braised duck stuff is so tight that both men and women like it!
Yu Jijiu from the Imperial College next door staged another "slap in the face" scene today. He came over to take a look while having lunch, and when he saw it was a duck, he immediately shook his head and said: "I don't like duck, and I won't eat it even if I die!"
He then forcibly "gifted" a few pieces of duck neck, clavicle, duck wings, duck paws and Yuji wine to try. The Yuji wine was so warm and welcoming at that time that he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
As a result, less than half an hour after finishing lunch, Yu Jijiu came over again and asked him while wiping his mouth: "Do you still have the duck product? It's so fragrant! It's so delicious! I'll take it back to try it with my family!" "
Ji Caimai pointed to the empty plate and said, "I'm late for the sacrificial wine. Come back tomorrow!"
During lunch, I "wouldn't even eat it", but now it's "so fragrant and delicious". The "persistence" of the Lord Jishu next door is still the same as before!
Most people didn't eat the braised duck anymore today. Lin Fei, who bought a large plate early, not only had some left over, but also took it back to try it out.
…
After summer, it gets darker and later. When Marquis Jingyun returned to his mansion, it was still bright. Usually at this time, the evening meal in the mansion had not been finished yet.
Marquis Jingyun thought for a while and then stopped going to the main hall. Instead, he planned to go back to the study room in the main courtyard to read some books or something.
You had to pass through the main hall when you returned to the main courtyard, but today, before you reached the entrance of the main hall, you heard laughter coming from the main courtyard.
What are you so happy about? Marquis Jingyun was quite surprised.
Although the rule of not speaking during meals and sleeping is not as severe as in some families, the Jingyun Marquis Mansion does not have strict punishment rules, but people rarely talk at the dinner table. Even if there were one or two words that I had to say, I would say them in a low voice and continue eating.
It's really strange to see people laughing at the dinner table like today!
Marquis Jingyun became interested. He was about to go to the study and walked into the main hall. When he stepped through the door, the sound of laughter could be heard clearly.
"I like duck wings, not too much meat, not too little. It's not difficult to pick out the two bones in the middle. It's just right!" This was the voice of a young woman. Marquis Jingyun quickly recognized the identity of this young woman - then Princess Zhu.
The eldest son has just decided to marry Princess Suizhu these days, and he will be regarded as his own family from now on. Neither his Jingyun Marquis Mansion nor the Prince's Mansion are old-fashioned and pedantic people. Now that the marriage has been decided, he can move around. There will be no restrictions in living together in the future.
Therefore, during these days, Princess Suizhu often went into the mansion to talk to Mrs. Jingyun Hou.
"Duck paws are also good," this was the voice of the eldest son. He said, "The flesh of the paws is springy and crispy, and it's very fun to eat!"
"Both duck wings and duck paws are good," Mrs. Marquis Jingyun was the last to speak. She said quietly, "This duck neck is the most interesting to nibble on. Save some for your father to try!"
These duck wings, duck paws, and duck necks seem to be eating duck? Marquis Jingyun raised his eyebrows in surprise: duck is very delicate to make, because it is born with the smell of duck, so it is difficult for ordinary cooks to cook it well. Even though it was ready, as far as he knew, no one in their family seemed to like duck.
Could it be...
Just as he was thinking about this, Princess Suizhu laughed and said, "I don't eat these things originally, even the food cooked by the chef in the mansion sometimes tastes boring! But I really didn't expect that there is such a thing in the public kitchen of Dali Temple. He is a master of craftsmanship. I like the cold skin, ice powder, sour plum drink and duck products very much!"
Sure enough... Marquis Jingyun smiled and shook his head, and walked in with a belly still full of room.
In the main hall, when Princess Suizhu said "I like it", Mrs. Jingyunhou immediately smiled and said: "Since you like it, then come here every day. A Fei will bring some back every day. The dishes cooked by the master are very novel and interesting. !”
The words "Come every day" made Princess Suizhu blush. She glanced at the Crown Prince beside her. Although she was a little shy, she still responded.
Marquis Jingyun walked in at this moment. After everyone nodded, he walked to Mrs. Marquis Jingyun, sat down, and said, "Did Erlang come back with food again?"
Mrs. Hou nodded, pointed to a box full of untouched duck necks under the food box, glanced at the Duke's Mansion opposite, and said: "Suitable for drinking."
Marquis Jingyun understood, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid I won't answer."
"It's his business if he doesn't accept it. How can you, a son, eat alone?" Mrs. Hou said.
This was reasonable. Marquis Jingyun called for a servant to send the box of duck necks to the other side. Not long after, the servant came back with the duck necks, and said with a helpless and accustomed expression: "Guo Guo The prince said that he had already eaten the evening meal, so he just asked the Marquis to keep it for himself!"
"No matter how good her cooking skills are, it's useless." Marquis Jingyun picked up a piece of duck neck and started to chew on it. He shook his head at his wife, "This is dad's bottom line."
"I know this is the bottom line," Mrs. Jingyun Hou said, "Let's send it off first and talk about the rest later!"
This was something the second son had specifically told him. The food he brought back every day had to go back and forth to the Duke's Mansion opposite.
So my father-in-law watched them from the Duke's Mansion opposite, eating tea eggs, Bobo chicken, braised pork, cold skin, braised duck...
Mrs. Jingyunhou suddenly felt that this scene was really strange, but she did not understand the second son's intention in 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 really weird. If the truth was not what everyone saw, everything he did today... From now on, he tapped his index finger on the desk: 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 at this time, looking through... not books or account books, but the beef, beef heart, and beef lungs that Ji Caimai brought from Zhuangzi...
The most non-vegetarian ingredients sent by Zhuangzi are pigs, fish, chickens, ducks, etc. Cows are the first time Wen Mingtang has seen them since coming to Dali Temple.
"It's really not much. I happened to have it this time. I heard you said that beef stew is delicious, so I brought it!" When Ji Caimai said this, he looked at the "quite mixed" Niu Brother in front of him and had a headache. He said, "It's just beef alone, but it's not that much. If you make braised beef, it won't be enough for one person. Master Wen, look at this..."
Wen Mingtang, who was squatting on the ground and looking through the food, heard this, looked up at Ji Caimai, and smiled: "Then let's braise the beef next time. The mixed pile of beef in front of us can be used to make the same new food as me! "
Guess what Master Wen will do tomorrow^-^
