  Chapter 62 Roast Duck (3)

"The scholar was walking in the middle of the night, and he met a beautiful woman halfway there. The woman said that the doors and windows of her house were broken, and wanted to find someone to repair the doors and windows. The scholar was overwhelmed by her beauty, and his mind was not right, so he agreed immediately. After returning home with the woman , the beautiful woman showed her true colors, the beauty skin in that painting was torn off, and inside... was a skeleton!"

  A Bing and Tangyuan exclaimed, hugged themselves tightly, and said, "Master Wen, stop talking!"

  Waiting for the roast duck was really boring, so everyone started guessing the backs of their hands and took turns telling stories. When it was Wen Mingtang's turn, Wen Mingtang told a ghost story, which only made A Bing and Tang Yuan scream.

   Ji Caimai on the side shook his head with wolfberry tea and laughed twice: Only half-grown children like A Bingtong Tangyuan will be frightened by this ghost story.

  However, when it comes to telling a story, the roast duck is almost as good.

Wen Mingtang got up, prepared the ingredients together before carrying the roast duck, shredded cucumbers and shallots in the bowl, took out the sweet noodle sauce from yesterday, put it aside, and then put on thick gloves made of coarse cloth Go to the roast duck stove. Taking out a "brother duck", the aroma of roast duck was already strong enough through the stove just now. After the duck was taken out at this time, the rich aroma mixed with fat made people unable to help but inhale again and again.

  Wen Mingtang sharpened his knife and began to slice the roast duck.

   This solution really caught Ji Caimai and A Bingtong Tangyuan out of their minds. When they saw this, they immediately gathered around and watched curiously as Wen Mingtang took off the roasted duck skin and placed it on the plate.

  After looking at it for a while, Ji Caimai said: "I thought this roast duck was chopped, but I didn't expect to go to such trouble."

  But it is also because of the thought, not the standard roasted and marinated goods like in the past, which made people more interested in how to eat the roast duck next.

  After the roast duck was sliced, Wen Mingtang put the duck rack on a plate, met the eyes of everyone looking at her, smiled, and took a piece of steamed dough to demonstrate.

  Pick a piece of skin-on roast duck dipped in noodle sauce and put it in the middle of the dough, then add shredded cucumber and shallot, and finally wrap the roast duck, shredded cucumber and shredded shallot like spring rolls during the Chinese New Year Festival.

   Handed the wrapped roast duck to Ji Caimai who was on the side, Ji Caimai took it and immediately took a bite.

The crispy water on the duck skin is really not for nothing. The roasted duck skin is burnt and crispy like he has never seen before. The moment he bites it, the thin layer of duck skin between the duck skin and the duck meat The oil is pushed out by the teeth, and soaked into the roasted tender duck meat and crispy duck skin. The rich and mellow taste makes the mouth water, and it is really hard to stop.

It’s just that although you can’t stop, if it’s just that, the rich taste is fragrant but it’s easy to get greasy, and the dough mixed with sweet noodle sauce, cucumber shreds and shallot shreds neutralize the greasiness, and solves all at the same time in one bite. question.

  Ji Cai bought and ate and applauded again and again, and A Bing and glutinous rice **** in that room couldn't help but imitate Wen Mingtang's appearance and wrapped the roast duck by himself.

  Wen Mingtang ate two, then picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in sugar, and put it in his mouth.

This way of eating made Ji Caimai, who had never seen it before, pick up a piece of duck skin with his hand that was about to pick up the duck meat, imitating Wen Mingtang, dipped it in sugar, and Ji Caimai hesitated for a moment before putting it in his mouth After all, just thinking about this way of eating makes my mind go blank, and I really can't imagine the taste.

   But seeing the girl's slightly squinted eyes, Ji Caimai put the duck skin dipped in sugar into her mouth. All of a sudden, the three tastes of crispy, tender, and creamy are intertwined in the mouth, and the sweetness and greasy spread from the tip of the tongue, which is wonderful that has never been imagined.

  Ji Caimai couldn't stop applauding with his fingers upright. Seeing this, Wen Mingtang ran to the house again. This time, what was brought back was a small pot, from which a spoonful of orange-red translucent sauce was poured into a white porcelain bowl. Wen Mingtang picked up a chopstick of duck meat and dipped it into it, and then put it in his mouth.

  Ji Caimai and the others dipped their chopsticks into the orange-red translucent sauce after learning how Wen Mingtang dipped in sugar.

  The roast duck is wrapped in a sweet and sour sauce with a fruity aroma, which has a unique and wonderful taste.

   "This is plum sauce." Wen Mingtang glanced at the jar with only the bottom left, and said, "If you like sweet and sour taste, you can try it."

   These sauces were made by her when she was idle and bored in the palace. Before she left the palace, most of them were left for Zhao Sishan, who will leave the palace next year. All the sauces she brought out were small jars like this, and there were not many left.

  But since I’ve come to the public kitchen, I just need to find time to do it.

At that time, Ji Cai bought them to continue eating the roast duck, and Wen Mingtang took out another "Duck Brother" from the stove and began to slice it. After the roast duck was sliced, put the skin, shredded cucumber and shredded shallot on it, and took a small dipping plate After putting sweet noodle sauce, plum sauce, and sugar on them, Wen Mingtang pointed to the plate of roast duck and said to Ji Cai: "Send this plate to Lin Shaoqing! He has helped us a lot today, and asked about today's supper, should I buy it?" I want to eat."

   Ji Caimai, who was putting the wrapped roast duck into his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay."

  After tasting the roast duck with the tip of his tongue, he picked up the dough and was about to come to the next one. Seeing the girl still looking at him, he was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" Since he wanted to send it to Lin Shaoqing, then go!

  Wen Mingtang looked at him and said: "Ji Caimai, as you said earlier, you should avoid suspicion, so I'm afraid it's not good for me to send this dish."

  Last time, because Lin Fei was good at eating spicy food, Wen Mingtang took a second look and was told by Ji Caimai to give him a warning, so she is very careful now.

  Ji Caimai blushed immediately after saying a word, and hurriedly waved: "Didn't it be a misunderstanding last time! You just go and deliver it yourself."

Only then did Wen Mingtang say "Oh", and passed by with the roast duck. When he walked to Lin Fei's room, he saw Zhao You who was squatting on the porch in a daze and counting ants in a daze. .”

  Zhao You was startled when he heard this, and then he looked up. When he saw the roast duck she served, his eyes lit up: "This is..."

   "I made some food." Wen Mingtang said, "Bring it to Lin Shaoqing, thank you for his help." As he spoke, he explained how to eat, and then said, "Officer Zhao will come to the public kitchen to eat later!"

  Zhao You responded in a hurry, and walked in with the roast duck.

   Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were relatively silent in the room, breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao You barged in.

  The case still can't find any clues, it's really a headache! Lin Shaoqing didn't speak, just lowered his head and flipped through the booklet he brought from the post station, wondering if he was too fascinated by reading it and forgot about the two of them.

   Now when they saw the roast duck, the two of them remembered: Master Wen made supper today!

smell good! Why don't you think about the case after eating!
