As he spoke, Li Xiaoran's saliva was about to flow down.
As a foodie, he is also a very active foodie. Li Xiaoran will do what he says. Now he hastened to ask someone to go to Uncle He's house to buy a few ducks.
She has a simple version of the oven, which can be used immediately.
The ovens used to make roast ducks are naturally different, and that one needs to be specially crafted by a blacksmith.
But this did not prevent Li Xiaoran from doing something to relieve his cravings.
Soon, ten ducks were bought back.
Luo Cheng also came to help himself.
Killing ducks, bleeding, boiling water for scalding...
After each process was completed, Li Xiaoran asked people to collect all the duck feathers, clean them, and put them on a flat cover to dry.
After the ten ducks had their heads, necks, wings, feet and internal organs removed, they were given to Li Xiaoran to pickle.
Others continued to clean the ingredients they just took down.
Not to mention, just cleaning the duck gizzards and duck intestines took a lot of effort.
After all these ingredients were cleaned, Li Xiaoran started to make spicy marinade without stopping.
The sugar color has been fried, and there are a lot of spices in the marinade bag.
After the ingredients are boiled, they are placed directly in the brine to marinate.
Because everyone likes to eat spicy food, Li Xiaoran grabbed a lot of dried peppers this time.
In addition, a lot of ginger, garlic and shallots are also put in.
Speaking of this, I have to praise Guan Kang.
Due to Guan Kang's special ability, the overall quality of the things they grow is very high.
Take the most common onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, not only the yield is high, but the quality is even better.
These sun-dried chili peppers alone are different from those grown in other places. Not only is the taste a lot spicy, but it is also very fragrant.
After the spicy braised ingredients were boiled, Li Xiaoran was already sweating.
At this time, the duck for roast duck has only been marinated for half an hour, so it has to continue to be marinated.
Li Xiaoran felt that the whole body was sticky and uncomfortable, so he ordered someone to burn a large pot of hot water and took a warm bath by himself.
When she came out refreshed, she found that many people came over in her yard.
Looking closely, my parents, grandpa and grandma, and grandmother Jin all came running.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma Jin, Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Li Xiaoran walked over happily.
"Why are we here? Didn't this come from smelling the fragrance?" Mrs. Jin joked with a smile: "I can smell the fragrance from your place since I live in Guandao, not to mention that they live so close. !"
"No, your grandfather and I came to talk to your mother here. Who knows, I smelled a very fragrant smell coming from your place, and I couldn't help but crave my old bones!" Xu Xiufang laughed said.
"You guys will be greedy for a while! I haven't even cooked this roast duck yet!" Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
"Roast duck? What is roast duck?" a group of people asked with bewildered expressions.
It was Mrs. Jin who thought about it and said: "I have eaten roast duck once, but the taste is not good. It smells fishy. I don't want to eat it after one bite!"
Li Xiaoran laughed when she heard Mrs. Jin's words.
"Grandma Jin, don't worry, the roast duck I made is absolutely top-quality, I guarantee you will want to eat it!" Li Xiaoran proudly boasted.
"Okay, then my wife is sitting here and waiting!" Mrs. Jin said with a smile.
"If it's so delicious, then we'll have a good time! But little girl, that roast duck or something, like us, old people with bad teeth, can you eat it?" Xu Xiufang couldn't help but ask one sentence.
"You can eat it, grandma, don't worry about it! In fact, there are many ways to eat duck, not only roast duck, but also salted duck, sweet-skinned duck, and dried duck, each with its own flavor. I forgot about these foods when I was busy before. Well, now that I think about it, I'll get all these delicious food out first!" Li Xiaoran said more and more vigorously.
"Then how many ducks do we want 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's family has raised a lot of ducks!" Luo Cheng heard , asked.
"If you get too many ducks, it will be troublesome to clean up!" Li Xiaoran said hesitantly, "How about ten of them tomorrow?"
"Don't have ten, go buy 30 tomorrow, and get 10 each of the salted duck, sweet-skinned duck, and dried duck. It just so happens that your grandma and I have nothing to do at home all day, why don't we come and help you? Kill the ducks and do something!" Zhao Huaishan remembered something and said: "If you do this business in the future, you can also consider the elderly like us when hiring people. If nothing else, We can still pull duck feathers after scalding!"
Li Xiaoran laughed immediately when he heard what his grandfather said.
It seems that the old man has nothing to do all day, and he is panicking!
"Okay, just listen to Grandpa!" Li Xiaoran did not refuse, but agreed immediately.
Because Zhao Huaishan is right, things like plucking hair can be done by the old man moving a bench and sitting there, everyone talking, doing things together, and earning some pocket money along the way, why not do it?
While talking, it was time for the roast duck to be marinated. Li Xiaoran hurriedly took out the duck and hung it with a special hook.
After that, Li Xiaoran brushed the skin of the duck with a secret water, and when all the water had penetrated into the duck meat, he put the duck into the oven and roasted it.
The simple version of the oven is not big, and can only roast three ducks three ducks.
And the time to roast the duck is not short. The ingredients in the spicy marinade are almost cooked, so Li Xiaoran hurriedly called someone to anneal them, and then let the various ingredients continue to soak in the brine.
At this time, the aroma of spicy marinade was much less, but the aroma of roast duck came out slowly.
Li Xiaoran thought about it, and took advantage of this time to gather the people in the house again, and everyone built a bigger oven together.
After the masonry was finished, Li Xiaoran put the remaining seven roast ducks together in the oven and roasted them in order to speed up the speed.
At noon, the spicy marinade had been picked up and let cool.
Li Xiaoran saw that everyone at home was there today, so he deliberately cooked several dishes by himself, and then everyone sat around.
While eating, nibbling on the spicy marinade, everyone praised the taste of this spicy marinade is very good.
Even Mrs. Jin, who is not very good at eating spicy food on weekdays, was nibbling on the duck head with relish, and said with a smile, "Hey, I can't eat other things with my teeth, but this duck head can't be eaten. I can eat it! It's delicious!"
