Chapter 294 Prosperity
He is Li Junping's servant. He has seen many good things with Li Junping, but he has never seen such a delicious and delicious roast duck.
Gu Jinli was greedy when he saw the red roast duck and said, "Let's take one and try it to see how it tastes."
"Okay, okay, let's go and try it. We can have a feast tonight, both braised meat and roast duck." Gu Daya smiled and put all five roast ducks into two large earthenware plates.
Gu Jinli took out a long iron plate from the earthen kiln and poured the duck fat into a large pottery bowl. He poured more than half of the bowl: "The duck fat in this roast duck is a good thing. Use it to mix it." Noodles or dipping sauce, it tastes better than anything else.”
She had eaten roast duck noodles with oil, and it tasted really amazing, so many times better than noodles with scallion oil.
"Sister Le, take the oil lamp to light the road." Gu Daya said, and shouted to the room on the right: "Brother Ping, you lie down at home first, we will be back in an hour at most. I’ll bring you some food to eat.”
Qi Kangping's legs haven't healed yet, and he has been bedridden recently. He doesn't dare to move around for fear that the bones will grow crooked again.
Qi Kangping: "Hey, I understand, mother."
After hearing Qi Kangping's reply, Gu Daya took the roast duck and went to Gu Jinli's house.
As soon as Gu Jinli got home, he said to Mrs. Cui, "Mom, there are some white noodles at home. You can make some noodles for me, and I will make duck fat noodles for you."
Mrs. Cui didn't have any objections, but the third grandmother felt very distressed: "We have enough food at home tonight, why do we still need to eat noodles?"
However, after complaining, he said to Mrs. Cui: "Go and do it for her. If you don't do it, she will have to recite it for two days, and her ears will not be quiet."
Gu Jinli smiled: "My third grandma still loves me."
Although the third grandma cares about food, every time she wants to eat something delicious, she will complain a few times, but after complaining, she will agree and let her toss it.
"I'm going to do it right away." Mrs. Cui went to get a pound of white noodles, and went to the kitchen with Gu Jinxiu to knead and roll out the noodles. In just over a quarter of an hour, the noodles were cooked.
Gu Jinli put a little salt into the cooked noodles, then poured in the duck fat and mixed it. The duck fat noodles were ready.
The third grandma took a bite curiously and said in surprise: "Why is this so delicious? It seems to have the taste of spices."
Gu Jinli said: "The roast duck's belly is stuffed with spices, and the duck fat drips with the spice juice, so the duck fat has the flavor of spices."
She stir-fried a plate of gray vegetables in duck fat, and after a plate of fresh bamboo shoots, she shouted: "It's time to eat."
Third Grandma and the others had already cut a plate of braised food from the kitchen and served it to the dinner table.
Qi Pan chopped up a roast duck, and according to Hu Jinli's instructions, he poured the spices stuffed into the duck's belly into a bowl, added water to thicken it into a dipping sauce, and served it on the table.
There is delicious food at home tonight, and Third Grandpa also called Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin looked at these braised meats and the red roast duck, and said in surprise: "Is this the new livelihood that Xiaoyu thought of for her aunt? It's really fresh. The old man has never seen such food in his whole life."
Third Grandpa smiled and said: "Don't just praise her, use your chopsticks and have a taste."
Mr. Qin and Third Grandpa used their chopsticks first, and after eating the roast duck and braised meat, they were full of praise.
Others also started using their chopsticks, and they couldn't stop eating.
“It’s delicious. The roast duck is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Not bad at all.”
"The braised meat is very delicious and is an excellent dish to go with wine, especially the beef, which is very chewy, and the braised mutton is also good." Mr. Qin took a sip of the wine, ate the braised meat, and squinted his eyes in comfort: "This is a living. We can do it. Brother Gu, you don’t have to worry about your eldest niece’s family anymore. With this business, their family will have no worries about food and clothing.”
Third Grandpa smiled and nodded. Da Ya has suffered a lifetime, and it’s time to get lucky and live a better life.
Gu Jinli and the others had dinner happily, and each of them ate a lot more than usual.
Brother Cheng, who was so small, just ate a bowl of duck fat noodles, a duck leg, a bowl of sweet potato and old rice porridge, and a lot of vegetarian braised meat and vegetables.
Seeing that he had eaten too much, Gu Jinan was afraid that he would accumulate food, so he took away half of the bowl of braised food from his bowl and ate it himself.
"Eat in moderation and be greedy." After studying with Shang Xiucai, Gu Jinan learned some literati rules and was very resistant to overeating.
Brother Cheng always listened to this elder brother. Although he still wanted to eat, he could only nod his head.
Qi Pan was eager to make money. After eating, he rubbed his hands and asked: "Uncle San, brother-in-law, and Xiaoyu, I was thinking that it will take two or three months to build the shop. It's too long. Our family will not have leisure during this period." Now, why not make braised meat and roast duck and sell them at a stall in the town, what do you think?"
Gu Jinli said: "Okay, I still have a lot of braised food. Let's take it to the town to test sell it tomorrow."
"What are you selling?" Mrs. Chen had smelled the fragrance wafting from Gu Daya's house a long time ago. After dinner tonight, she immediately dragged Gu Dagui to Gu Jinli's house, glanced at the dining table, and said with a smile, "This is it." Xiaoyu is thinking of a new business for Sister Da Ya’s family. Just the smell of it will make people drool, and it will definitely sell well.”
Gu Dagui pulled her and warned in a low voice: "Take it easy, if you make Xiaoyu angry again, our family will be doomed."
Mrs. Chen was startled and quickly looked away, no longer staring at Gu Jinli's dining table, for fear that Gu Jinli would be angry: "What, we haven't finished eating yet. We are here early, so you guys eat first, let's go to the yard Go sit for a while."
Ever since Gu Yumei's incident and Gu Jinli's rage, Mrs. Chen has been very honest recently. Although she wants to learn how to make braised meat and roast duck, she doesn't dare to speak for fear that Gu Jinli will annoy her.
But in my heart, I scolded Gu Yumei over and over again, it's all that damn girl, isn't it true? If something had to happen, now that Gu Jinli had made a new food, they could only stare at it and be greedy, but they couldn't participate in it anymore.
And the next day, when Gu Daya's family went to the tofu stall to try out braised meat and roast duck, Mrs. Chen even scolded Gu Yumei bloody in her heart.
The braised meat and roast duck business is also very good. Although they are fresh delicacies that no one has seen before, after knowing that they are made by the Gu family tofu stall, they are not afraid at all and just smell the fragrance and buy them.
"This red duck looks festive and smells good. My old man will definitely like it. Give us one for the Shang family." A servant of the Shang Youcang family said to Qi Pan.
Shang Youcang is the village chief of Shangjia Village, the head of the Shang family, and now he is also the chief of ten nearby villages.
Shang Youcang is Shang Xiucai's cousin. His family has a lot of land, and there are shops in the town and county. He is not short of money, and he also likes to eat the Gu family's pan-fried five-spice tofu.
Qi Pan said to the servants of the Shang family: "This is roast duck. It's a bit expensive. It costs sixty cents per catty."
Xiaoyu said that the roast duck was eaten fresh and would still be the signature dish of their shop in the future, so it could not be sold too cheaply.
The servant of the Shang family did the math and said, "It's a bit more expensive than an old hen, but it's okay. Give me this one."
