Chapter 733 Bestowal(1/2)
After Xue Yuantong finished plucking the feathers of the wild duck, the beautiful body of the duck was revealed. The wild duck is very small, not even as big as a chicken, weighing just over two pounds.
Xue Yuantong picked up the knife again and chopped it into pieces cruelly.
When Yao Yiyao, a little girl from the city, saw this formation, her eyelids twitched, it was so cruel!
Her cat was trembling with fear and wanted to run away!
Xue Chuchu was surprised at the side: "The meat is really good."
It looks very fresh, unlike domestic lazy duck. This kind of wild duck is lean meat with thin skin and almost no fat.
Although Yao Yiyao didn't understand much, she could tell that duck meat was very beautiful.
When she saw Xue Yuantong rinse the duck meat repeatedly, she used her little common sense and asked: "Don't you need to blanch it?"
She vaguely remembered that meat needed to be blanched to remove blood foam.
Xue Yuantong: "No, the meat of this duck is good, and it tastes more delicious when fried without blanching."
While she was busy, Xue Chuchu was not idle. She was responsible for preparing some condiments, such as chili peppers, ginger slices, etc.
When there are important ingredients, the humble Chu Chu often helps out and takes the opportunity to secretly learn Tong Tong's cooking skills.
Xue Yuantong shouted outside the kitchen: "Jiang Ning Jiang Ning!"
She asked Jiang Ning to light the fire. Only a farmhouse earthen pot could be worthy of the identity of a wild duck.
Jiang Ning entered the house carrying a plastic bag.
Xue Yuantong first noticed the rice in the bag, and her eyebrows suddenly curled up. It must be the new rice brought by Jiang Ning, super fragrant rice!
Immediately, she saw the lotus root on Jiang Ning's right hand and asked, "What is it?"
Jiang Ning placed the lotus root diagonally on the chopping board and said, "Lotus root, you took care of it at noon."
Xue Yuantong immediately picked up the lotus root and tore off the plastic wrap on the outside. She peeled off a small piece, revealing a snow-white color like gelatin. She put it in front of her small nose and smelled it. The fragrance dissipated and her eyes lit up.
It is definitely a new product brought by Jiang Ning! Just like tomatoes and watermelons before!
She chopped off a section of lotus root with one knife, peeled it and cut it into small pieces.
The appearance of this lotus root is as white and tender as jade, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.
It’s not like those plump lotus roots on the market that have been added with bleach, nor are they like those yellow-brown lotus roots.
Xue Yuantong pinched the lotus root and took a bite. The texture was extremely crisp, just like eating fruit. His teeth were addicted.
After a few bites, the sweetness melted in his mouth, and Xue Yuantong's eyes shone brighter.
Xue Chuchu saw Tong eating lotus root, so she picked up a piece. After tasting it, the coldness on her face was diluted by the sweetness.
"Jiang Ning, you eat!" Xue Yuantong fed him a piece.
She saw Yao Yiyao sitting on the small bench again. She had given him so many gifts. For the Xue family, she was definitely a distinguished guest.
Xue Yuantong gave her a piece: "Yaoyao, you can eat it too."
The Maine Coon cat in Yao Yiyao's arms stretched out its claws to grab food. Xue Yuantong looked at it and was so frightened that it buried its head in Yao Yiyao's arms.
Yao Yiyao didn't care at first, 'What's so delicious about lotus root? If the cat likes it, just give it to it?'
But after entering her mouth, her expression suddenly changed, and she swallowed it wholeheartedly.
Xue Yuantong was proud and showed off: "Is it delicious?"
Yao Yiyao: “It’s tasteless.”
Xue Yuantong gave her another piece.
This time, when Xue Yuantong turned around, the Maine Coon cat stretched out its paws to grab the lotus root slices, but was slapped back into her arms by Yao Yiyao.
The Maine Coon cat froze for a moment, its face showing humanized grief.
It hurts too much.
In the end, Xue Yuantong thought it was pitiful and gave it a piece. He stretched out his hand halfway and thought that he could not be too kind to the pet, so he broke off half of the piece and gave the remaining third to the Maine Coon cat.
…
When cooking, Jiang Ning is responsible for lighting the fire.
Yao Yiyao was embarrassed. She had the most leisure time in the entire kitchen.
However, Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu knew that she was a distinguished guest, so they did not ignore her and did not forget to chat with her during the cooking process.
Xue Yuantong asked her if she had gone to the concert.
Because during the summer vacation this year, Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning went to the supermarket to go shopping and saw Yao Yiyao, who had run away from home, wearing a baby leather case and handing out leaflets under the scorching sun, just to buy concert tickets.
Yao Yiyao smiled when talking about this: "I went there one more time in October and bought infield tickets."
Since her father took over the Evergreen Liquid project, his originally wealthy family has grown significantly. Her parents chatted and said that it would be no problem to earn two to three million this year.
Xue Yuantong had never been to a concert. She asked curiously: "How much does the ticket cost and is it worth it?"
Speaking of this, Yao Yiyao's demeanor and mannerisms that she had grown up with came back: "The tickets are more than 2,000 yuan, plus the round trip fare and accommodation, it's about 4,000 yuan."
Xue Yuantong was shocked and bit into a lotus root slice to suppress his shock.
"As for whether it is worth it? I think it is worth it. The whole process is very happy! I suggest that you must watch a concert in the future." Yao Yiyao was still delighted when she thought of such an exciting scene.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu to realize this, because 4,000 yuan is enough for them to eat for more than half a year.
Xue Chuchu and Yao Yiyao were students in No. 2 Middle School, and they chatted about school affairs for a while.
Yao Yiyao, who is in the general class of No. 2 Middle School, has a high regard for Xue Chuchu, who is in the Qingbei class.
She told Xue Chuchu: "Sometimes when the boys in our class chat, they will talk about you."
Speaking of this, she saw Xue Chuchu's profile in the smoke. Not only did the smoke fail to make her mediocre, but it made her even more misty.
Yao Yiyao couldn't help but be a little envious.
She thought she was already very beautiful, but in front of Xue Chuchu, ugh!
Xue Chuchu smiled softly, "Oh, is this the case?"
Her mission at school is only to study, and she doesn't care about anything else.
"Yes, there are still people who have inquired about your QQ and want to decipher your friends' answers." Yao Yiyao, "It's a pity that no one can guess it."
A girl with Xue Chuchu's appearance, no matter how low-key she is, will still attract some attention and discussion.
Then Yao Yiyao changed the topic and brought the topic to Jiang Ning.
She has never forgotten that it was because of Jiang Ning's rescue that she and her father were able to escape from danger last time.
As a result, the look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Ning was filled with gratitude and something inexplicable.
This scene happened to be captured by the keen Chu Chu.
When it came to Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong immediately started to show off his Jiang Ning, and even played Jiang Ning's performance recorded at the New Year's Day party to her.
Yao Yiyao was surprised when she saw the brilliant sparks on the screen and the uproar from the audience.
She had no idea that Jiang Ning would be such a figure in school.
It was countless times better than she imagined.
Xue Chuchu stood in front of the earthen stove, using a shovel to repeatedly stir the duck meat in the pot. The room was filled with aroma, but it was not overwhelming.
Because Jiang Ning cast a spell in secret to gather all the smoke into the chimney. Otherwise, when cooking hard dishes, the old-fashioned kitchen would be filled with smoke, which would be unbearable and would choke the nose and eyes.
??????55.??????
The pungent smoke was eliminated, and only the alluring fragrance was left in the room. The spices did not cover up the taste of the wild duck itself, but made it more delicious. The Maine Coon cat licked its tongue restlessly.
Yao Yiyao held the cat in front of her neck and secretly swallowed her saliva. Oh my god, how could it smell so good?
In fact, she didn't need to hide it at all, because Xue Yuantong swallowed more saliva.
While she was greedy, Xue Chuchu quickly picked up a piece of attractively colored duck meat from the earthen pot. She moved slightly, placed the shovel in front of Jiang Ning who was lighting the fire, and said sagely: "Try it and see if it's cooked."
Are you through?"
Jiang Ning was startled. He looked at the tenderness on Xue Chuchu's face. At this moment, he suddenly recalled that when he was a child, he stared longingly at his busy mother in front of the stove, and then he was suddenly rewarded with a piece of fragrant meat.
After a brief period of confusion, Jiang Ning stuffed the spicy duck into his mouth. At the same time, the three girls in the kitchen all focused their eyes on him.
Jiang Ning took a bite, and her mouth was filled with delicious flavor and strong meat, followed by the rich and spicy soup.
He commented: "Not bad, delicious."
Xue Chuchu said lightly: "That's good."
She continued cooking as usual.
Xue Yuantong was suspicious for a second, and then she suspected that Chu Chu had changed!
She has indeed changed. I am so close to her. Shouldn't this piece of meat be given to me, Tongtong?
…
At noon, the warm winter sun warms the door of the bungalow.
