The happy little days of the Ye family

Father Ye laughed happily after watching the whole process, "This Dahuang is incredible, and has more eyes than a silly boy like Ye Donglin."

Then he was slapped on the back by Mr. Ye, "Is there such a wicked father as you? It's the fault of a son for not teaching his father. It's all your fault for not teaching Dong Lin well."

Ye Donglin thought that Mr. Ye was helping him, but he didn't expect it to be even more irritating.

"You look shrewd, but you are too soft-hearted and can be easily deceived. I will give you and Jing a lesson another day."

Tang Xiaojing, whose name was called, responded helplessly: "Uncle Fengshou is well-informed, I should learn from you."

At this time, Xiao Huang, who had finished dinner, walked slowly to Tang Xiaojing's feet and pulled Tang Xiaojing's trouser legs with his paws.

Tang Xiaojing knelt down and hugged Xiao Huang, imitating Ye Qingqing and smoothing Xiao Huang's soft fur back and forth. Xiao Huang also benefited from it and dozed off in Tang Xiaojing's arms.

Mrs. Ye finished watching the show and eating melon seeds, and quickly urged Ye Xilin to wash the dishes.

After the play was over, the group of people dispersed.

Four ducks will be killed tonight. Except for Ye Xilin who washes the dishes, all the men in the Ye family have been assigned by Mrs. Ye to kill the ducks.

The clothes Ye Qingqing made for Tang Xiaojing were still a little bit finished, so he went back to the house to continue making clothes.

Ye Mu went to the kitchen to cook eggs for tomorrow. Today’s braised eggs were not enough to sell. Ye Mu planned to cook 40 braised eggs. If she sold them all, she could earn 40 Wen.

The father and son of the Tang family were also captured by Father Ye. Five people went to the backyard to catch ducks. Five tall men stood at the door of the duck pen. The ducks in the duck pen were frightened and became a mess.

Mrs. Ye felt sorry for the duck, and the five of them were scolded by Mrs. Ye. Ye Xilin, who was washing dishes at the side, covered his mouth and snickered.

Mrs. Ye put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Go away, don't scare my ducks. What will happen if they don't lay eggs tomorrow?"

Then he began to assign a few people to work, "Dong Lin, you go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and boil more. You will use it to kill the ducks and remove their feathers later."

"Old man, you and Fengsheng go into the duck pen and catch four fatter ducks. Shanzi and Jingxiaozi, you and I will deal with the rabbits we caught in Stone Mountain."

Under the command of Mrs. Ye, several people began to work in an orderly manner.

Mr. Ye added some water and salt to the big bowl, then collected all the duck blood, and got a large bowl of duck blood.

These ducks have been raised for a long time and their duck feathers are easy to deal with. The grandfather and grandson quickly took care of the four ducks.

There was also a big bowl of duck gizzards, duck liver and duck intestines.

Father Ye asked Mrs. Ye: "Mom, do you keep the duck blood and duck offal at home or do you marinate it together?"

Old Mrs. Ye was used to being frugal and was reluctant to eat it, "Braising it is just like pig's guts. Once it's marinated, mince it and stir-fry it with sour beans. It's delicious and goes well with rice."

The food in the Ye family has been good recently, and Ye's father didn't care about the food. He said with a smile: "This will add a new dish. The rice with duck mixed with stir-fried pickled beans is 12 renminbi a portion, and the braised duck rice is 15 renminbi." One serving.”

Tangshan thought of the roast duck he had eaten in Fucheng before, "I also had a kind of roast duck in Fucheng. It was marinated with various spices and then roasted in the stove. The skin was crispy and the duck meat inside was tender and juicy. I ate it once It’s unforgettable.”

After speaking, Tangshan licked his lips. He felt full just now, but now he felt hungry again.

Mr. Ye was also said to be hungry by Tangshan. Mr. Ye laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are said to be hungry even in the middle of the night."

Mrs. Ye broke the news and said, "If you don't cry out that you are hungry, you are more greedy than a 3-year-old child."

Father Ye was quite interested in this roast duck, "I have roasted pheasants on the mountain, but not the ducks. Brother Shan, I can try the roast duck you mentioned some other time."

Seeing that Father Ye wanted to harm her ducks again, Mrs. Ye glared at Father Ye, "There are still some ducks at home that can lay eggs. There are many people raising ducks in the village. You can collect some ducks and bring them back tomorrow."

Father Ye also liked eating salted duck eggs, so he let the ducks go.

He smiled and said, "My father-in-law's family raises a lot of ducks. Let me talk to Xiuxiu and ask if these ducks can be sold tomorrow."

Mr. Ye: "Your in-laws raise ducks well. I met your father-in-law herding ducks a few days ago. The ducks were fatter than ours."

Mr. Ye keeps the ducks in the Ye family. He takes the ducks to the creek in Xiaohoushan every morning. They will look for small fish and snails to eat in the creek, and then bring them back in the evening. .

These ducks eat well in the creek and can lay 3 duck eggs in 2 days. Ducks save trouble and food. If there was no room for them at home, Mrs. Ye would like to raise more.

Tang Xiaojing has never eaten the roast duck mentioned in Tangshan, but he likes to eat meatless parts such as duck wings and duck feet. He often bought and ate them when he was in the county.

"Actually, ducks can also be disassembled and sold. Duck wings, duck feet, duck heads, duck necks, and duck offal are suitable for drinking. They are also good as snacks. They can be sold more expensively, and the remaining duck meat can be used for cooking. Braised duck rice.”

"There are some braised meat shops in the county that sell ducks in pieces, and they sell very well. Uncle Fengshou, you can try it too."

After hearing what Tang Xiaojing said, Father Ye also thought it would be better to take it apart and sell it.

"Different people like to eat different parts. Some people like to eat the chewy scraps such as duck wings and duck feet, while others like to eat more meaty parts. It is indeed better to sell them separately."

Ye Donglin: "Anyway, there are four ducks. Let's try to take apart two ducks tomorrow."

Mrs. Ye: "How to determine the price?"

Everyone present looked at Tang Xiaojing. They had no choice, he was the only one who had bought these duck wings and duck feet.

Tang Xiaojing: "A large duck leg costs 9 cents, a duck wing with small duck legs costs 10 cents, a duck head costs 5 cents, a duck neck costs 4 cents, a duck paw costs 2 cents, and duck gizzards and duck intestines , duck liver, duck heart, etc. are 20 yuan a pound.”

Father Ye did some calculations and found that if he took it apart and sold it like this, he could earn at least 10 more cents per duck.

Father Ye: "People in the county still know how to eat it. I will also go to the braised meat restaurant in the county to have a look some other day."

Father Ye was still the first to get up the next day.

Father Ye separated the two ducks into different parts and cut the duck meat into small pieces. He would save the duck meat for making braised duck rice at noon.

Then Father Ye picked up another braised duck, cut the braised duck into two halves with a knife in his hand, and kept one half for himself to eat at noon.

Father Ye did not move the remaining half of the duck. After all, it was his first time selling this kind of dismantled duck, and he didn't know how to sell it.

The braised duck offal and duck blood were cut into small pieces by Ye's father and stir-fried together with pickled beans. Because of the braised duck offal and fried pickled beans, today's braised pork stir-fried with pickled cucumbers was made less.
