Chapter 75 Roast Duck

Chapter 75

"Roast Duck?"

The Song family gathered around the house of Beifangtang and was surprised to hear Song Nan's idea of opening a roast duck restaurant.

"Yes, roast duck, Beijing roast duck!" Song Nandao.

"Roast duck is not a new thing. There are several in Weizhou. You said it should be unique and unique. Where does it come from?" Everyone expressed their puzzlement.

Song Nan said, "What I'm talking about is not that no one does this, but how to make it and eat it. Xiaoping, go to the study to get pen, ink and paper."

Xiaopinger ran to get a pile of yellow paper and pen and ink. Lu Qingli rushed to grind the ink. Li Xiaomei was busy laying paper. Song Nan opened her posture and pulled away the stick and dipped it in ink and wrote down the production process of Beijing roast duck on yellow paper, as well as the necessary seasonings and eating methods.

Beijing roast duck has been a famous dish in later generations, and its cooking method and eating method are no longer a secret. Song Nan likes delicious food and has read relevant materials. Now that he recalls carefully, he still remembers seventeen out of eight. Song Nan is full of confidence. With these ten seven eight memories alone is enough to make the roast duck fragrant. Floating to the capital.

Looking at the pictures and texts of more than a dozen pieces of paper being written, the Song family was stunned. When did Song Nan also study these things? Nowadays, cooking is a woman's business. Song Nan has been reading for more than ten years and hasn't been in the kitchen for more than ten years. How can she suddenly understand these things?

Everyone has no time to solve these questions. Let's see if these things written by Song Nan are useful. Only Ye Fanggu and Xiaoping have the most say here. One used to open a shop, and the other is the chef of the Song family, but Song's mother is one of them. In those years, the craftsmanship of cooking in Song Mansion was also unique. One of the reasons why Song De liked her was that he was caught in the stomach.

"The first step is to test the duck: select a duck with a full catty. The skin should be undamaged, the color is white, the shape is full, and the weight should be five or six catties. The second step is to make the billet: the duck needs to be inflated to remove the palm, clean the bladder and hook it, water the whole body with boiling water to tighten its skin, and then water the body color with sprout sugar; the third step is to water the cold blank: the duck that has been browned and hung color. It takes three to four hours to hang it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the duck skin. The fourth step of baking: plug the duck's anus with a wooden plug, pour boiling water from the knife edge of the neck to make it full, and then color it into the oven to bake for half an hour. Fruit wood is needed for roasting wood, and jujube wood is the best, followed by peach, apricot and pear wood.

When Ye Fanggu read a piece of paper, everyone became more and more curious. Song Nan's article was not like nonsense. From Ye Fanggu, Song's mother and others, the process written by Song Nan was extremely fine, and there was no obvious error.

The fifth step is to apply sesame oil after it is baked, and the roast duck is finished, but then the way of eating on the paper is an eye-opener.

How to eat 1: Pick a number of sweet dough sauce with chopsticks, spread it on the lotus leaf cake, slice the roast duck and remove bones, cover it with several slices, put a few green onions, cucumber strips or radish strips, roll up the lotus leaf cake, and it can be eaten. The taste is excellent.

The second way to eat: prepare mashed garlic with soy sauce, and can be served with radish strips, etc. A piece of roast duck is dipped in mashed garlic and dark soy sauce. In the fresh fragrance, it adds a trace of spicy flavor and a more unique flavor.

"Eating Method 3: People who don't like green onions and garlic are recommended to eat crispy duck skin with fine sugar. Ladies and children can use this method. The taste is sweet, crisp and fragrant, which is no less than the first two methods.

Song Nan held his arm and admired the surprised look of the crowd and said to himself: Are you dumbfounded? These things are the essence summarized by later generations. Even in the Ming Dynasty, which is never tired of eating, it may be unprecedented.

"My son, how do you know these things?" Song's mother couldn't help asking.

Song Nan smiled and said, "My son once read an ancient book, which recorded these things. I saw that no one in the world used this method, and it must have been lost. Now that Aunt Fang said she would make a restaurant, my son suddenly remembered these."

When Song's mother saw that what Song Nan said was true, she believed it and said to her heart: No wonder my son didn't pass the examination. It turned out that she liked to read some idle books when she was studying.

Ye Fanggu frowned and said, "I have a question to ask. I don't know if it has been answered in that book."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Ask me, I don't know if I remember."

Ye Fanggu said, "Why do you use fruit wood for the barbecue?"

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "The book says that when fruit wood is burned, it is smokeless, * prosperous, and burns for a long time. After the duck is put into the oven, use a pole to flip the duck so that the duck can be roasted evenly. The roasted duck is full-looking, the color is jujube red, the skin layer is crispy, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, with a fragrance of fruit trees; what I want to say is reasonable.

Ye Fanggu nodded and said, "It really makes sense. I just don't know if this roasted duck is delicious and can attract people.

Lu Qingli shouted, "It's not easy. Just try to bake a few. Tomorrow, Xiaoping and I will go to the street to buy these things. When we come back and bake a few according to the method, everyone will comment after eating."

Song Nan smiled and said, "That's what I said. This matter will be handed over to Qingli and Pinger. In the future, if you two will open a store, you two will be the store owner, which is very beautiful."

Li Xiaomei hurriedly said, "Young master, where's me?"

Song Nan said, "Yes, yes, three bosses, don't mess it up by following the above steps. I'm going to wait to eat roast duck tomorrow night."

The three girls nodded repeatedly.

Song's mother smiled and said, "Well, we should also have a business. Son, there are still 2,000 taels of silver here. You can take it away when you open the shop."

Song Nan said, "I have to use this money. I still have 2,000 taels here, and I don't know if 4,000 taels is enough."

Ye Fanggu said, "It's not enough to find a way. Let's see if this method can be done first."

Song Nan said, "The method is definitely right. It depends on Qingli's methods. It takes experience to handle it. It really doesn't work. My mother helps to supervise."

Ye Fang said, "I can help you do it."

Song Nan said, "The big things in the government need you these two days. Don't you want to follow me to do a job? There is a place for you to use it."

......

The next afternoon, Zhengxifang was still in the box of the small hotel, and Song Nan and Zheng Da met here again.

"After discussing with hundreds of households yesterday, I went to find Han Zongqi and promised to cooperate with them to deal with you. In the afternoon, Han Zongqi made an appointment with Qiu Wu to meet at the restaurant, and I also went there." Zheng Da reported in a low voice.

"Very good, do they doubt it?"

"No. Although my subordinates are stupid, this matter is of great importance to my subordinates. Naturally, I will be more careful."

"What are they going to do?"

"Han Zongqi and Qiu Wu discussed it. Tomorrow, Han Zongqi and I will take sick leave. In the evening, Qiu Wu took a group of idle men to the Cai family restaurant in Zhengdongfang to set fire. The owner of the Cai family restaurant was an official who did not give them face on weekdays. They happened to take this opportunity to smash and burn the Cai family restaurant. In addition, the Cai family restaurant is If the official opens, if it is smashed, the impact will certainly be huge. In this way, it can create a lot of momentum, saying that Song Baihu is not able to rectify. Han and I take the opportunity to make trouble and poke things up. If it is not enough, Qiu Wu intends to find another opportunity to kill one or two people on the street. In short, he will push all the mistakes to Song Baihu.

Song Nan's face was gloomy and gritted her teeth and said, "These bold guys don't color them fiercely. They still think Song Nan is a sick cat, not a dragon but a river. I'm determined to fight with this local snake."

Zheng Da asked in a low voice, "What are your plans?"

Song Nan got up and paced a few steps and stood still, "I will allow your leave tomorrow. Isn't that Han just want to get rid of it and let him get rid of it. Who will be on duty tomorrow night?"

Zheng Da said, "It's Ma Xiaoqi and Wei Xiaoqi."

Song Nan said, "How do these two people have a relationship with you?"

Zheng Da said, "Ma Xiaoqi is an iron brother under his subordinates, and his little flag officer is also recommended by me to promote him to change his life; Wei Xiaoqi has a normal relationship with his subordinates."

Song Nan said, "Then replace Wei Xiaoqi and let Huang Hui take the top. I think Huang Hui is quite reliable. I'll make it clear to him later."

Zheng Da said, "Then what should we do?"

Song Nan said, "It's very simple. Give them a guard and wait for the rabbit to catch a current situation. Next night, you will choose a few trusted brothers to secretly come to the government office to cooperate with me. Let's take people to Cai's restaurant to squat and arrest them on May 1st."

Zheng Da said, "That's a good idea, but what about Han Zongqi?"

Song Nan said, "Look, he is going to be finished. Don't tell the brothers who brought it before taking action, so as not to leak the wind. Just know Ma Xiaoqi and Huang Xiaoqi.

Zheng Da nodded and said yes, with a flash of excitement in his eyes, and he was quite eager to try. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and frowned and whispered to Song Nan, "Lord Baihu, I forgot to report something to you. This hatred is *. I'm afraid it's not easy to do behind him."

Song Nan has heard this for the second time, so she asked, "*Who is it?"

Zheng Da said, "You may not believe it. It's the princess of the British mansion."

Song Nan also thought she heard it wrong and asked, "Who is it?" Say it again."

Zheng Da scratched his head and said, "It's Princess Xuan, the granddaughter of the British Duke Zhang Mao. This princess doesn't like women's clothes, so she likes to dress up as a woman in the square. The ruffians in several cities follow him as their bosses and usually rely on her momentum to run rampant. Otherwise, how can she be so arrogant?"

Song Nan was a little confused by this sudden change. The matter actually had something to do with the princess of the British mansion, which was really confusing, but Song Nan had no way out. He believed that even the people of the British mansion would not cover up the ruffians who set fire and killed people.

"Regardless of her, pretending not to know, take Qiu Wu first and then take the evidence, and don't be afraid of going anywhere; don't forget that we are Jinyiwei in the capital, and the Duke's government will turn against Jinyiwei for the sake of the ruffian? Never."

Zheng Da said, "My subordinates are worried that the princess will be unfavorable to Song Baihu, but the Duke will never come forward."

Song Nan said, "Then don't be afraid. I have everything and follow the original plan."
