It's too late to make sweet-skinned duck, but you can make a sauced duck.The sauced duck in my hometown is salty and sweet, and the skin tastes sweet. Du Heng thinks that Jing Nan should like that taste.
The old rule is that after getting the duck, you should remove the excess fat on it.I don't know how the ducks in the demon world grow, each one is very fat, and the oil on the belly is half a bowl.
After Du Heng carefully cleaned up the duck fat, he reminded Xuanyu: "Xiaoyu, help me to go to the terrace to have a look, the broken malt and Lingmi should be almost fermented." A word, and said something with a smile and a chirp.
Jing Nan translated: "Smile and say, is there no sugar at home?"
Du Heng said: "There is sugar at home, but the taste of maltose is better and unique. When I make it, you can taste a piece and you will know. I loved eating maltose when I was young." Bright.
Du Heng divided the duck into two, and he kept the duck neck and duck head separately. Before Wen Qiong left, Du Heng would make the duck neck into snacks for her to take away.
Du Heng pricked the duck skin densely with a bamboo stick, and later he was going to fry the duck a little bit, the duck will taste better after the duck oil inside the duck skin is fried.The taste can penetrate into the duck meat when it is marinated.
The oil in the pot was hot, and Du Heng put the duck skin in towards the bottom of the pot.He wants to fry the duck until golden on both sides. He doesn't know if other people's sauced duck has this step. Anyway, Du's father occasionally cooks the sauced duck like this.Du Heng thought it was quite delicious.
While Du Heng was frying the duck, Xuan Yu came down with a big wooden basin: "See if it's fermented."
Lifting off the cover on the wooden basin, Du Heng saw a pot of gray-yellow soup appearing in the wooden basin, with white foam and broken malt rice grains floating on the soup.There was a sweet smell in the air, Du Heng dipped his finger in the soup and licked it, um, very sweet!It has the malty aroma of eating malt candy when I was a child.
Du Heng nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."
Xuanyu said: "Then I filtered out the juice inside." He often watched Du Heng cook, and now Xuanyu can already guess the follow-up process.
I have to say that with Xuanyu's help, Du Heng really felt a lot easier.While frying the duck, he looked at Xuanyu hanging gauze on the tree branch in the yard to filter the water. When Du Heng looked over, Xuanyu just turned his head, and the two echoed each other with gentle smiles.
Du Heng felt as if his heart was covered with maltose. He looked down at the duck in the pot and felt that today's duck was cut perfectly.
A lot of oil was fried from the duck skin, and Du Heng scooped up the excess oil in the pan into a small bowl.While the pot was still hot, he poured a light layer of soy sauce on the duck skin.
Yaozu's soy sauce is darker in color, unlike the light soy sauce in my hometown. If you accidentally add too much duck, it will turn black.
After the old pumping down, Du Heng quickly added water that had submerged the duck.The water immediately turned into a rich sauce color. Du Heng added two handfuls of rock sugar to the pot, then he put star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns and a few dried peppers in a small bag made of gauze and threw them into the pot.
Of course, according to the old rules, large slices of ginger and scallion knotted with white wine are indispensable, and everything that removes fishy smell is indispensable.
Du Heng covered the pot and let the ducks in the pot stew. After the water in the pot boiled, Du Heng turned the fire in the pot from high to low.The duck needs to be stewed for half an hour, then turn off the heat and let the duck soak for half an hour, and then turn off the fire to collect the juice.This is a dish that takes time, so don't rush.
Xuanyu got a big pot of grayish-yellow soup, the soup exuded a sweet taste, causing Xiaoxiao to circle around the wooden basin.However, Xiaoxiao can’t drink it yet, and it takes time to boil maltose.
Du Heng thought of a small stove. The stove is suitable for cooking sugar. Anyway, when maltose is boiled, there is no need for excessive stirring. Too much stirring will make the sugar cloudy.
Du Heng likes the formation on the casserole that can save time. In fact, if possible, he would like Xuanyu to carve one on the pot of the stove for him.In this way, he can save a lot of time when he stews ingredients that need to be boiled for a long time in the future.But after thinking about it later, cooking is a process that cannot be rushed.
Du Heng knows too little about the ingredients in the demon world. Most of the ingredients he cooks now are familiar and familiar to him. Sometimes when cooking, he can judge how long it will take to complete according to his past experience.If he encounters unfamiliar ingredients in the future, he will not be sure.
The formation will affect his judgment on the maturity of the ingredients. It can shorten the time for food preparation, but it may also cause Du Heng to make mistakes in judgment. This is a double-edged sword.He wants to save time, but he wants to make delicious food more.
Xuanyu poured the fermented soup in the wooden basin into the casserole, and the casserole was boiling on the small stove.Xiaoxiao poked his head out to look at the soup in the pot, he only saw a piece of white foam, but the sweetness in the air could not be faked.This kind of sweetness was different from the sugar he had eaten before. This kind of sweetness had the fragrance of malt.
Under the action of the array, the soup in the casserole boiled quickly.There was a lot of froth on the boiled soup, Du Heng didn't care about it, but let the water in the pot continue to boil.
The water in the pot became less and less, and the color of the soup gradually changed from grayish yellow to yellow, and gradually deepened as the water evaporated.
Xuanyu asked Du Heng: "When is it good to boil it?"
Du Heng said: "Wait for large bubbles to appear on the top, and then dip the chopsticks in sugar water. It would be great if the sugar water can form a film between the two chopsticks."
Xuan Yu nodded: "I see. I'll adjust the formation."
Du Heng:! ! !Can it still be like this?Xuan Yu is too powerful.
The aura in Xuanyu's hand shone around the stove and the casserole above it, and this time a complex light blue formation appeared on the ground below the stove.The aura on the formation flickered continuously at first, and then turned into a continuous aura.
Du Heng felt as if he was watching a video with the fast-forward button pressed. He saw the soup in the pot gurgling, and then the color of the soup became more and more yellow until a lot of bubbles appeared on it.The bubbles grew bigger from childhood, and when the bubbles that emerged were generally larger, Xuanyu withdrew the aura from his hand.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and stirred in the pot. When the chopsticks were lifted up, there was a ball of brown sugar liquid hanging on the chopsticks.Xuanyu separated the two chopsticks, the sugar solution was also spread out, and a clear film appeared between the chopsticks.Xuan Yu smiled and asked: "Is this all right?"
Du Heng nodded again and again: "Okay, okay!"
After removing the casserole from the stove, a thick layer of sugar liquid appeared in the pot.The color of the sugar liquid is brownish yellow, and the surface has irregular lines.
Du Heng stirred the casserole a few times with a bamboo stick while it was hot. When he took it out, maltose the size of an apricot was hung on one end of the bamboo stick.The sugar that Du Heng stirred was very beautiful, with layers of sugar liquid, like a flower.The outermost layer of sugar liquid was sticky and refused to separate from the sugar in the pot. When Du Heng lifted it up, it pulled out a long strand.
The first candy was for the child. Du Heng handed the bamboo stick to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao come and taste the malt candy."
Xiaoxiao uttered a surprise vibrato, Du Heng liked to hear Xiaoxiao call it that way, and every time he heard such a voice, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Du Heng quickly rolled a sugar string for Xuan Yu Jingnan and Wen Qiong: "This kind of sugar can also be used to make sugar people, because it tastes soft, so it is also called caramel."
Jing Nan and the others each held up a sign, and when they put it in their mouths, they understood what Du Heng meant by softness.The current maltose is slightly hot, and the first reaction in the mouth is sweet, but its sweetness is not greasy.There is still a little fragrance in the sweetness. This sugar has no integrity. As soon as the tongue is added, it will follow the tongue, and the teeth will stick to the teeth as soon as they are rubbed.
Wen Qiong and the others have all eaten candy. There are red and white candies in the realm of comprehension, but none of them taste as soft and delicate as malt candy.Sugar has always been seasoned in their minds, and few monks have a handful of brown sugar or white sugar in their mouths.
However, things like caramel candy subverted their cognition, even if they ate a few sticks of this kind of candy, they would not get tired of it.Not only that, but it's kind of fun.
After Jing Nan and the others finished eating the caramel that Du Heng gave them, they rolled the candy in the pot by themselves and ate it.The candy cubes Jing Nan rolled were big and round, hanging on the bamboo sticks like a ball, Du Heng almost stared dumbfounded.
Du Heng also skewered a piece of malt candy for himself, to taste the taste of his childhood.
When I was young, before the Chinese New Year, there would be old sugar sellers in the village, and the children would exchange the scraps of metal and old shoes at home for candy.Whenever he saw the old man, Du Heng especially hoped that his shoes would break down faster.
The malt candy that the old man sells is solidified malt candy that turns white after being pulled, and is surrounded by a thin layer of flour.In childhood, this is one of the few times when you can eat sugar in a fair way.No matter how strict the parents are at home, they will not stop their children from exchanging sugar when the old sugar seller comes to the village.
The old man was very stingy, and the toothpaste skins and bad sandals that Du Heng worked so hard to collect were often only exchanged for a piece of snow-white malt candy the size of an apricot.Every time he got sugar, Du Heng would stretch out his hands to hold the maltose and gnaw it. At first he could gnaw a few crunchy pieces of sugar.
But when his saliva and body temperature warmed the maltose, the maltose would become sticky.Du Heng's hands and mouth would be stuck with maltose. In severe cases, the skin of his mouth would be so sticky that he couldn't open it. At that time, he needed to use his tongue to lick his lips from the inside.
Du Heng was stuck every time, and he never tired of licking those melted maltose.
After the old man is gone, the sweetness of maltose can stay at home for a long time.Du Heng thought it was maltose which had a magical fragrance and could last for three days.
It wasn't until he fell and couldn't stop crying, and Du's father took out a piece of snow-white malt candy from the cabinet to comfort him, that he realized that there was still malt candy at home.
In order not to let Du Heng eat candy, his parents actually hid the candy in the cupboard. Du Heng was really angry.But when Papa Du took out the candy, he immediately forgot where he was angry.He was immediately hooked by the maltose, and only sugar remained in his eyes.
Maltose can only appear in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and disappear after the Spring Festival.Du Heng thought that there were too many delicacies during the Spring Festival, which diluted his love for maltose.
But later I learned that whenever the old sugar seller came to the village, Father Du would buy a small bag of sugar and put it away.When he is obedient, his parents will take it out and feed Du Heng, and a bag of sugar will often fall into Du Heng's stomach.
Du Heng's eyes were slightly red with sugar in his mouth, he missed his parents again.I don't know if my parents are at home. He is doing well in the demon world now, and his only concern is the second elder at home.
He doesn't have much ambition, he just wants his relatives and friends to be safe and happy.But sometimes he feels that this is the most difficult wish in the world to achieve.

Du Heng decided to divide the sugar in the pot into two parts, one part would be stored in the jar with its original taste, and it would be fine to stir it up with a bamboo stick when eating.The rest of the sugar, he was going to pull into the kind of malt sugar he had eaten as a child.
Pulling sugar was originally a laborious and troublesome thing, but for monks, it was not something difficult to achieve.
Even if Du Heng pulls it with spiritual energy, he can easily cover all the remaining caramel in the pot.The maltose in the aura mass is pulled into long strips and then folded, the color gradually turns from brown to white at the beginning, and finally turns into a warm white!
Wen Qiong and the others watched in amazement, their mouths were all rounded in a smile.It turns out that caramel can change color!
After the maltose turned white, Du Heng rolled the sugar into long strips, and then divided it into granules the size of apricots.The granules of sugar became irregular shapes as they fell into the flour basin that had been waiting nearby.After the maltose cooled down, balls of maltose appeared in the flour basin.
Xuanyu reached out to take a piece of maltose and looked at it. When the maltose fell into the flour, it was still warm, and the edges and corners cut by Du Heng would be melted by the temperature.Although the shape of the sugar granules is irregular, it is very moist, with a layer of flour on it, and there is a smell of maltose when you sniff it.
Du Heng smiled and put a piece of candy in Xiaoxiao's mouth, and he put a few more candies in Wen Qiongjingnan's palm: "This kind of maltose is easy to carry, and you can eat a few when you are hungry."
Wen Qiong casually dropped a grain into her mouth. The maltose had changed from soft to hard, and it broke into uneven candy pieces after one bite.The crushed sugar melted quickly in the mouth, and the sugar in the mouth could not be easily bitten off after a while.
People who try to bite maltose will have their teeth stuck by the sugar.The joy of eating maltose is here, with sugar in your mouth, melt it a little bit, and taste its sweetness slowly.The sugar granules will change from hard to soft, and finally disappear between the lips and teeth, leaving a mouthful of fragrance.
Xiaoxiao likes maltose, and he soon discovered the correct way to eat maltose.While his mouth was still open, he took out the storage bag that he held snacks in, and then looked at Du Heng eagerly to show off his cuteness.
Although the annoying uncle walked away with his snacks, he had Du Heng and Xuan Yu around.Xuanyu remade the storage bag for Xiaoxiao, and Du Heng was responsible for making the storage bag swollen.
Du Heng immediately understood what Xiaoxiao meant, and he laughed out loud.He opened the storage bag, and solemnly put a pack of maltose wrapped in oiled paper inside: "You can't eat too much of this, it will hurt your stomach if you eat too much."
Does eating maltose give you a stomachache?No, but eating too much is not good for the body.What Du's father used to coax Du Heng when he was a child is now used by Du Heng to make him laugh.
After dealing with the maltose, the sauced duck in the pot is also cooked.Jing Nan had already smelled the fragrance, and he couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pot, but Du Heng held the lid down.
Jing Nan's beautiful eyes turned, and Du Heng's heart softened with that aggrieved look.Jing Nan said, "I can already smell it, isn't it alright?"
Du Heng nodded: "Yes, we have to soak it for half an hour and collect the juice on high heat, otherwise the taste will be much worse."
Jing Nan muttered: "But I think the taste is delicious now."
Du Heng still ruthlessly rejected his request: "No, it's not a sauced duck, but a boiled duck when the pot is boiled now. Some food tastes bad after one process."
Jing Nan blinked, and he almost fell Du Heng on his back when he said a word.
He said: "I don't believe it, unless you let me eat it now, I will give you the answer then."
Having said all of this, if Du Heng still doesn't open the lid of the pot, he might be accused of something by Jing Nan.He could only helplessly open the pot: "Okay, I'll take a piece out for everyone to taste."
Jing Nan showed a wry smile, and Du Heng happened to turn around and saw his smile.
Du Heng suddenly felt helpless: "When Jing Nan moults, it's like a different person."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "Only in front of the most trusted person can he dare to relax like this?"
If you don't trust her, who dares to reveal her true nature, who dares to expose her weaknesses?
Hearing this explanation, Du Heng's helplessness turned into deep concern: "I hope the people from Yunyan Building will send over the ingredients quickly, and I will make a bunch of delicious food for him. I will also make lotus leaf chicken called Huaji Jing Nan will definitely like it."
The taste of the duck stewed for an hour is also good. After Du Heng tasted it, he felt that the taste was very similar to the sauced duck bought in those delicatessen shops in his hometown.It seems that the people at the deli have saved a lot of work in order to save time.
Du Heng cut a quarter of the duck and put it on the dining table: "Wait a while and try the duck prepared according to my method, and see which one is better than the one now."
Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao nodded in unison. For a moment, a picture appeared in front of Du Heng's eyes: under the dim light, he put a bowl of vegetables on the table, and the chickens and foxes beside the table were all together. Shushu lowered his head and sighed.
The scene was fleeting, Du Heng rubbed his temples: "Huh?"
Xuanyu noticed Du Heng's abnormality, and he stepped forward and sent some spiritual energy to Du Heng's back: "What's wrong?"
Du Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Just now a picture appeared in my mind, I saw a little fox and a chick who looks like a smile, dislike my cooking."
Hearing this, Jing Nan, who was eating the duck, put down the duck in his hand: "Hey, maybe it's a memory from your previous life?"
When Du Heng thought Jing Nan was joking, he said casually, "Who knows, maybe it's the previous life."
Du Heng hummed a song and went to practice, Jing Nan and Xuan Yu looked at each other.
When Du Heng came back from practice, the sauced duck in the pot had been soaked in the sauce for half an hour, and the sauce was not as much as it was at the beginning.The remaining sauce became thick after the fire. At this time, the duck could not be turned freely. Du Heng was afraid that the skin of the duck would be broken, so he could only use a shovel to pour the sauce on the duck. .
After a while, the sauce thickened as if it was thickened, and the duck was ready to be cooked at this time.
The color of the roasted duck is red and bright, the sauce on it is shining brightly, and it is not easy to handle when chopping.But it didn't bother Du Heng, he wrapped the duck and the sauce on its surface with spiritual energy, and cut the duck into evenly sized pieces with a few strokes of a sharp knife.
Du Heng put the duck in front of Jing Nan: "Try it, the duck now tastes better than the duck before."
Jing Nan looked at the duck in the bowl. To be honest, in terms of appearance, the duck now is not as good as before.The sticky sauce dripped slightly on the duck skin, the duck meat inside was soaked in the sauce, and even the bone marrow turned into a sauce color.
After taking a bite, the soft and rotten duck has a salty-sweet taste, and the duck soaked in sauce is more delicious than the duck that has only been boiled for half an hour.It's just that Jing Nan groaned and said, "I think...it's still as delicious as before."
Du Heng huffed: "Are you serious?"
Jing Nan smacked his lips: "Well, although the previous taste was not as strong, I think it's pretty good. Now the duck feels too crunchy and has no chewiness."
Du Heng was a little unconvinced, so he took a piece and tasted it.Indeed, as Jing Nan said, there was nothing wrong with the sauce he seasoned, but the duck was too crunchy, and it melted away with just a sip.
It seems that Yunyanlou packs tender ducks, which cannot withstand long-term stewing.Mistake!
Jing Nan carefully looked at Du Heng's face, seeing that Du Heng was somewhat frustrated.He licked the corner of his mouth and comforted him: "Actually, a soft and rotten duck is also delicious. If I lose all my teeth when I get old, you can make this duck for me to eat. I'm sure I can eat it."
Du Heng was dumbfounded by Jing Nan: "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. You are a nine-tailed fox, how can you grow old?"
The appearance of the monks will not change much after the foundation is established. After the formation of the pill and the baby, they can change their appearance as they like.It is said that a monk who has reached the out-of-body stage can live as long as the sky, as long as he does not commit suicide.As Kyuubi, why is Jing Nan aging so easily?
But Du Heng, if he doesn't practice well, he may not live to the day when Jing Nan loses his teeth.
Although the duck was missed, it didn't affect everyone's love for the duck. Fortunately, Du Heng only made one duck, and everyone worked together to eat one duck in one meal today.No, it's not time for dinner yet, Xiaoxiao is already gnawing on the duck's thigh.The duck that Jing Nan despises is not disgusting with a smile.
Tonight's meat dish is duck, and Du Heng is also planning to fry pork with double bamboo shoots.This is a vegetarian dish that Du Heng loves to eat in his hometown, and it is also a seasonal dish that Wen Qiong and the others think are quite delicious.
Thinly sliced spring bamboo shoots and lettuce are served with tenderloin rubbed with cornstarch, stir-fried in a pan and then topped with a little thickening sauce.Xiaoxiao can mix two bowls of rice with that thickening sauce!
Du Heng remembered that when he was in college, he left the province where his hometown was for the first time and came to a university in the north.In college, everything is new.After the novelty wears off, he starts to feel uncomfortable.The most difficult thing to adapt to is the diet. Du Heng can't eat spicy food, and the people in his hometown have a sweet taste, which is relatively bland.In university cafeterias, chefs add soy sauce and pepper to every dish they stir-fry.
After Du Heng ate the big pot of vegetables for a week, he got angry, and there were several ulcers in his mouth, and it was hot and painful to drink water.Eating became the last thing he wanted to face. He wanted to eat rice and braised pork crazily. It would be even more delicious if he could have a bowl of vegetables fried by his mother.
However, the braised pork in the university cafeteria contained chili peppers, so Du Heng had no choice but to drink plain porridge, but it was a pity that he had good cooking skills but he could only sigh at the plain porridge.
One night after self-study get out of class, Du Heng went to the cafeteria to buy porridge and drank it. The chef in the cafeteria thought he was a difficult student who was part-time and part-study, so he enthusiastically helped Du Heng replace the porridge with mapo tofu.
Du Heng's eyes turned red when he looked at the bowl of rice. The cook thought he was moved and cried. God knows that Du Heng was about to burst on the spot.
Later, after some explanations, the uncle cook understood Du Heng's distress, and then he served Du Heng a pair of bamboo shoots and sliced pork with rice.It was the first time Du Heng ate this dish. To be honest, when he saw that there was no chili or soy sauce in the blue and white rice bowl, he almost shed tears of gratitude.
The rice bowl with double bamboo shoots and pork slices made by the chef is actually not very good. He is used to cooking heavy-tasting dishes, so he was not sure how much salt to use for this rice bowl.When Du Heng ate it, he felt that it was slightly salty, but in the college cafeteria, this was one of the few bland dishes he could eat.
Du Heng ate double-bamboo-sliced pork with rice at the cafeteria window for more than ten days in a row. At the end of the meal, the cook knew he wanted to order this dish when he saw him.Later, when the uncle cook returned to his hometown, Du Heng never tasted his cooking skills.

The lettuce and spring bamboo shoots were all blanched, Du Heng poured a small amount of soybean oil into the pot, and he slid the tenderloin slices kneaded with white wine and cornstarch into the pot.After the meat slices were put into the pot, Du Heng used a shovel to cut them apart slightly. When the meat slices changed color slightly, he poured the blanched lettuce and spring bamboo shoots into the pot and stir-fried them.
This dish only needs to be seasoned with a little salt and sugar, then add a thin thickening sauce and stir fry evenly, and sprinkle some mushroom essence before serving, the taste is simply delicious.And the appearance of this dish is very good-looking, the lettuce is green, the spring bamboo shoots are slightly yellow, and it is served with white tenderloin slices.The color looks fresh when placed on the plate, and the thin thickened gravy is poured on the double bamboo shoots, as if covering the colorful ingredients with a layer of light gauze.
At this time, no matter what kind of bamboo shoots you pick up, it will feel crisp in your mouth.The tenderloin is fried tender and chewy. If you dislike the blandness of this dish, the tenderloin can just solve this problem.
Du Heng put a large plate of meat with double bamboo shoots on the table, and there was still a spoonful of soup and a few slices of double bamboo shoots in the pot.This spoonful of soup is the essence, Xiaoxiao loves to use this soup for bibimbap.
No, Xiaoxiao is already squatting on the stove, holding the rice bowl with her wings, staring at Du Heng eagerly, pouring the soup in the pot on the rice for him.
This hidden way of eating was taught to Xiaoxiao by Du Heng. Seeing Xiaoxiao like this, he took the bowl, picked up the spatula, and covered the remaining vegetables on the rice.Listening to Du Heng scraping the bottom of the pot, Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and smiled in satisfaction.
There is also a soup for dinner. The soup that Du Heng eats the most when he arrives in the demon world is all kinds of bone soup and broth, but today's soup is leek and egg soup.
Although it is a vegetarian soup, everyone is highly supportive.Jing Nan nodded after taking a sip of the soup: "This soup is very fresh, and it tastes better than I imagined."
Du Heng was happy: "Our hometown usually uses leeks to scramble eggs, and I think it's pretty good to eat leek and egg soup once in a while. Do you think today's dishes are a bit vegetarian? How about I cook meat for you tomorrow?"
Jing Nan shook her head: "No, I have enough ducks. You can ask Xiaoyu and the others."
Wen Qiong was making rice with leek soup, and a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.Wen Qiong said melancholy: "I'm already worried."
Du Heng was puzzled: "Huh? Master, what are you worried about?"
Wen Qiong sighed: "You can even cook so delicious green vegetables, I would be so upset if I can't eat your cooked food after I go back." Wen Qiong picked up a piece of leek and egg: "Hey, what should I do? too delicious."
Du Heng chuckled, his master is too cute.
Xuan Yu added two slices of meat to Du Heng's bowl: "I think this kind of food is very good, I like everything you do."
Jing Nan cleared his throat: "Then Du Heng will cook me duck tomorrow, and Xiaoyu will eat vegetables."
Xuan Yu glanced at Jing Nan, Jing Nan stared back without showing any weakness, Du Heng almost died of laughter.
After dinner, Du Heng felt a bit full, and he was going to go for a walk to digest food.Xuanyu also had the same idea. The two walked along the field ridge in front of their house to the peach forest under Nanshan Mountain. Du Heng wanted to see how the taro he had planted was growing.
Xuan Yu and Du Heng held hands, originally they wanted to spend some time together, but when they looked forward, Little Wonton was trotting all the way in front, with its tail bouncing up and down.
Looking back, Xiaoxiao and Nian Sui Sui lined up to follow the two of them. When they saw Du Heng and the others stop, the three furry ones looked at them suspiciously with their heads tilted.
Du Heng thinks that he and Xuanyu's two-person world is only in the bedroom.Oh, maybe the time for two in the bedroom will be interrupted by Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao has already protested, saying that he has not slept with Du Heng for several days, and he is going to be angry.
In the late spring and early summer, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the spiritual plants in the fields grow wildly. Some of the spiritual plants grow taller than people. Walking on the ridge of the field is like being in the grassland.Lingzhi exuded a delicate fragrance, but it was no match for the cold fragrance on Xuanyu's body.Du Heng couldn't help looking at Xuan Yu, who happened to be looking at him too.
The two looked at each other, somehow, and they didn't know who took the initiative.The two hugged each other and gave each other a lingering kiss. After the kiss, Du Heng's breath was a little unstable.
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng tightly, he whispered in Du Heng's ear, "It's good to have you by my side."
Du Heng hugged Xuan Yu back: "Me too, it's great to meet you."
When the two had kissed and hugged enough, they turned around and saw smiling innocently sitting on the field ridge behind them.Seeing the two stop, Xiaoxiao chirped twice, Du Heng miraculously understood Xiaoxiao's meaning, smiled and said: Don't worry about him, you continue.
Du Heng's old face was red, he and Xuan Yu would lead a bad child, right?
It's strange to say that he and Xuan Yu are clearly in love, yet they feel like an old married couple.When the two came to the peach grove, Xuan Yu first helped to clean up the weeds beside the taro, while Du Heng used spiritual energy to roll the stream water to water his taro.
The plums on the tree are already the size of a thumb, and in half a month, Du Heng will be able to pick them off and soak them in wine to make plum wine.
The two of them were busy in the peach forest for a while, and suddenly Xuanyu said to Du Heng: "The person who delivered the ingredients from Yunyan Tower is here, and he is at the entrance of the village. Do you want to go together?"
Du Heng was slightly surprised: "Hey? Did it come so soon? Talking about Xuanyu, I never knew how you told the people in Lingxi Town that you needed something."
A bright yellow talisman appeared in Xuanyu's hand: "This talisman can make short-distance calls."
Du Heng took the talisman curiously and looked at it. In fact, he felt that this talisman was no different from the five-element talisman he used.
Xuan Yu snapped his fingers, and the talisman turned into a puff of green smoke in Du Heng's hands.Qingyan circled around Du Heng, and finally stopped in front of Du Heng.
Xuanyu said: "This is the talisman seal of Zhou's shop. After lighting the talisman seal, Qingyan will bring what you need to say to Zhou Lianhua or Zhou Xiyue. You can try it, and let them deliver what you need. "
Du Heng is in a hurry, he doesn't need anything right now, Xuan Yu can just say a word, how can a talisman be wasted?
At this moment, Du Heng heard a voice as light as a gnat coming from his ear: "Is it Master Xuan?"
Du Heng was shocked: "Someone is talking!" It's amazing, this kind of talisman is the phone number of the cultivation world!
Hearing Du Heng's voice, a response came from the blue smoke: "It's Mr. Du? Hello, Mr. Du. I'm Zhou Lianhua. Do you have any orders for me?"
Du Heng didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that Xuan Yu deliberately lit the talisman to let him use the talisman, right?Zhou Lianhua must think that he and Xuanyu are fools.
At this time Xuanyu said: "It's me, Du Heng and I have become Taoist couples."
As soon as the words fell, Du Heng suddenly turned his head to look at Xuan Yu, why did he tell the people in Zhou's shop about this?
Zhou Lianhua's reaction was even more excited than Du Heng's. Du Heng heard the sound of something falling from the other end of the talisman.
Xuan Yu said slowly: "When you see Du Heng in the future, it will be like seeing me."
This time, the voices of Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Xiyue came from the other end of the talisman: "Yes!"
After the green smoke dissipated, Du Heng came back to his senses: "Xuanyu, do Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Xiyue have anything to do with you?"
Xuanyu said calmly: "These two brothers belong to the Kunpeng clan, they are my subordinates. Feel free to send them if you need anything in the future."
A mouthful of old blood stuck in Du Heng's throat: "Then... it's my first time to go to Lingxi Town, you take me to Zhou's shop..."
Xuanyu admitted it generously: "The Zhou family's shop is my property. There are hundreds of Zhou's shops in the dragon clan in the demon world, and most of the operators are demon cultivators in the sea."
Xuanyu looked deeply at Du Heng: "I didn't tell you when I took you to Zhou's shop for the first time, because I didn't want you to be too stressed."
Du Heng's face is about to bleed, even if Xuan Yu tells him now, he is under a lot of pressure, okay?Sure enough, none of the people living in the village were poor, and Xuanyu lived in a dilapidated house at the beginning!Co-authoring is lying to myself, gaining my sympathy!
Xuan Yu held Du Heng's hand: "I didn't mean to hide from you. Before you came, I really lived that kind of life. Because of you, I want to live a good life. Xiao Heng, give me Brings hope."
Du Heng's depression flew away again, he felt that he had a lot of questions to ask Xuan Yu.Why is he running to the village instead of staying in the sea as a good dragon? What is his identity in the Dragon Clan...
But after thinking about it, the time between him and Xuanyu is still long, so just ask slowly in the future.
Now he and his family Xiaoyu are going to the entrance of the village to collect the ingredients from Yunyanlou. If there is time, he can make some delicious food for Jingnan and put it away.
It's too late to make sweet-skinned duck, but you can make a sauced duck.The sauced duck in my hometown is salty and sweet, and the skin tastes sweet. Du Heng thinks that Jing Nan should like that taste.
The old rule is that after getting the duck, you should remove the excess fat on it.I don't know how the ducks in the demon world grow, each one is very fat, and the oil on the belly is half a bowl.
After Du Heng carefully cleaned up the duck fat, he reminded Xuanyu: "Xiaoyu, help me to go to the terrace to have a look, the broken malt and Lingmi should be almost fermented." A word, and said something with a smile and a chirp.
Jing Nan translated: "Smile and say, is there no sugar at home?"
Du Heng said: "There is sugar at home, but the taste of maltose is better and unique. When I make it, you can taste a piece and you will know. I loved eating maltose when I was young." Bright.
Du Heng divided the duck into two, and he kept the duck neck and duck head separately. Before Wen Qiong left, Du Heng would make the duck neck into snacks for her to take away.
Du Heng pricked the duck skin densely with a bamboo stick, and later he was going to fry the duck a little bit, the duck will taste better after the duck oil inside the duck skin is fried.The taste can penetrate into the duck meat when it is marinated.
The oil in the pot was hot, and Du Heng put the duck skin in towards the bottom of the pot.He wants to fry the duck until golden on both sides. He doesn't know if other people's sauced duck has this step. Anyway, Du's father occasionally cooks the sauced duck like this.Du Heng thought it was quite delicious.
While Du Heng was frying the duck, Xuan Yu came down with a big wooden basin: "See if it's fermented."
Lifting off the cover on the wooden basin, Du Heng saw a pot of gray-yellow soup appearing in the wooden basin, with white foam and broken malt rice grains floating on the soup.There was a sweet smell in the air, Du Heng dipped his finger in the soup and licked it, um, very sweet!It has the malty aroma of eating malt candy when I was a child.
Du Heng nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."
Xuanyu said: "Then I filtered out the juice inside." He often watched Du Heng cook, and now Xuanyu can already guess the follow-up process.
I have to say that with Xuanyu's help, Du Heng really felt a lot easier.While frying the duck, he looked at Xuanyu hanging gauze on the tree branch in the yard to filter the water. When Du Heng looked over, Xuanyu just turned his head, and the two echoed each other with gentle smiles.
Du Heng felt as if his heart was covered with maltose. He looked down at the duck in the pot and felt that today's duck was cut perfectly.
A lot of oil was fried from the duck skin, and Du Heng scooped up the excess oil in the pan into a small bowl.While the pot was still hot, he poured a light layer of soy sauce on the duck skin.
Yaozu's soy sauce is darker in color, unlike the light soy sauce in my hometown. If you accidentally add too much duck, it will turn black.
After the old pumping down, Du Heng quickly added water that had submerged the duck.The water immediately turned into a rich sauce color. Du Heng added two handfuls of rock sugar to the pot, then he put star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns and a few dried peppers in a small bag made of gauze and threw them into the pot.
Of course, according to the old rules, large slices of ginger and scallion knotted with white wine are indispensable, and everything that removes fishy smell is indispensable.
Du Heng covered the pot and let the ducks in the pot stew. After the water in the pot boiled, Du Heng turned the fire in the pot from high to low.The duck needs to be stewed for half an hour, then turn off the heat and let the duck soak for half an hour, and then turn off the fire to collect the juice.This is a dish that takes time, so don't rush.
Xuanyu got a big pot of grayish-yellow soup, the soup exuded a sweet taste, causing Xiaoxiao to circle around the wooden basin.However, Xiaoxiao can’t drink it yet, and it takes time to boil maltose.
Du Heng thought of a small stove. The stove is suitable for cooking sugar. Anyway, when maltose is boiled, there is no need for excessive stirring. Too much stirring will make the sugar cloudy.
Du Heng likes the formation on the casserole that can save time. In fact, if possible, he would like Xuanyu to carve one on the pot of the stove for him.In this way, he can save a lot of time when he stews ingredients that need to be boiled for a long time in the future.But after thinking about it later, cooking is a process that cannot be rushed.
Du Heng knows too little about the ingredients in the demon world. Most of the ingredients he cooks now are familiar and familiar to him. Sometimes when cooking, he can judge how long it will take to complete according to his past experience.If he encounters unfamiliar ingredients in the future, he will not be sure.
The formation will affect his judgment on the maturity of the ingredients. It can shorten the time for food preparation, but it may also cause Du Heng to make mistakes in judgment. This is a double-edged sword.He wants to save time, but he wants to make delicious food more.
Xuanyu poured the fermented soup in the wooden basin into the casserole, and the casserole was boiling on the small stove.Xiaoxiao poked his head out to look at the soup in the pot, he only saw a piece of white foam, but the sweetness in the air could not be faked.This kind of sweetness was different from the sugar he had eaten before. This kind of sweetness had the fragrance of malt.
Under the action of the array, the soup in the casserole boiled quickly.There was a lot of froth on the boiled soup, Du Heng didn't care about it, but let the water in the pot continue to boil.
The water in the pot became less and less, and the color of the soup gradually changed from grayish yellow to yellow, and gradually deepened as the water evaporated.
Xuanyu asked Du Heng: "When is it good to boil it?"
Du Heng said: "Wait for large bubbles to appear on the top, and then dip the chopsticks in sugar water. It would be great if the sugar water can form a film between the two chopsticks."
Xuan Yu nodded: "I see. I'll adjust the formation."
Du Heng:! ! !Can it still be like this?Xuan Yu is too powerful.
The aura in Xuanyu's hand shone around the stove and the casserole above it, and this time a complex light blue formation appeared on the ground below the stove.The aura on the formation flickered continuously at first, and then turned into a continuous aura.
Du Heng felt as if he was watching a video with the fast-forward button pressed. He saw the soup in the pot gurgling, and then the color of the soup became more and more yellow until a lot of bubbles appeared on it.The bubbles grew bigger from childhood, and when the bubbles that emerged were generally larger, Xuanyu withdrew the aura from his hand.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and stirred in the pot. When the chopsticks were lifted up, there was a ball of brown sugar liquid hanging on the chopsticks.Xuanyu separated the two chopsticks, the sugar solution was also spread out, and a clear film appeared between the chopsticks.Xuan Yu smiled and asked: "Is this all right?"
Du Heng nodded again and again: "Okay, okay!"
After removing the casserole from the stove, a thick layer of sugar liquid appeared in the pot.The color of the sugar liquid is brownish yellow, and the surface has irregular lines.
Du Heng stirred the casserole a few times with a bamboo stick while it was hot. When he took it out, maltose the size of an apricot was hung on one end of the bamboo stick.The sugar that Du Heng stirred was very beautiful, with layers of sugar liquid, like a flower.The outermost layer of sugar liquid was sticky and refused to separate from the sugar in the pot. When Du Heng lifted it up, it pulled out a long strand.
The first candy was for the child. Du Heng handed the bamboo stick to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao come and taste the malt candy."
Xiaoxiao uttered a surprise vibrato, Du Heng liked to hear Xiaoxiao call it that way, and every time he heard such a voice, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Du Heng quickly rolled a sugar string for Xuan Yu Jingnan and Wen Qiong: "This kind of sugar can also be used to make sugar people, because it tastes soft, so it is also called caramel."
Jing Nan and the others each held up a sign, and when they put it in their mouths, they understood what Du Heng meant by softness.The current maltose is slightly hot, and the first reaction in the mouth is sweet, but its sweetness is not greasy.There is still a little fragrance in the sweetness. This sugar has no integrity. As soon as the tongue is added, it will follow the tongue, and the teeth will stick to the teeth as soon as they are rubbed.
Wen Qiong and the others have all eaten candy. There are red and white candies in the realm of comprehension, but none of them taste as soft and delicate as malt candy.Sugar has always been seasoned in their minds, and few monks have a handful of brown sugar or white sugar in their mouths.
However, things like caramel candy subverted their cognition, even if they ate a few sticks of this kind of candy, they would not get tired of it.Not only that, but it's kind of fun.
After Jing Nan and the others finished eating the caramel that Du Heng gave them, they rolled the candy in the pot by themselves and ate it.The candy cubes Jing Nan rolled were big and round, hanging on the bamboo sticks like a ball, Du Heng almost stared dumbfounded.
Du Heng also skewered a piece of malt candy for himself, to taste the taste of his childhood.
When I was young, before the Chinese New Year, there would be old sugar sellers in the village, and the children would exchange the scraps of metal and old shoes at home for candy.Whenever he saw the old man, Du Heng especially hoped that his shoes would break down faster.
The malt candy that the old man sells is solidified malt candy that turns white after being pulled, and is surrounded by a thin layer of flour.In childhood, this is one of the few times when you can eat sugar in a fair way.No matter how strict the parents are at home, they will not stop their children from exchanging sugar when the old sugar seller comes to the village.
The old man was very stingy, and the toothpaste skins and bad sandals that Du Heng worked so hard to collect were often only exchanged for a piece of snow-white malt candy the size of an apricot.Every time he got sugar, Du Heng would stretch out his hands to hold the maltose and gnaw it. At first he could gnaw a few crunchy pieces of sugar.
But when his saliva and body temperature warmed the maltose, the maltose would become sticky.Du Heng's hands and mouth would be stuck with maltose. In severe cases, the skin of his mouth would be so sticky that he couldn't open it. At that time, he needed to use his tongue to lick his lips from the inside.
Du Heng was stuck every time, and he never tired of licking those melted maltose.
After the old man is gone, the sweetness of maltose can stay at home for a long time.Du Heng thought it was maltose which had a magical fragrance and could last for three days.
It wasn't until he fell and couldn't stop crying, and Du's father took out a piece of snow-white malt candy from the cabinet to comfort him, that he realized that there was still malt candy at home.
In order not to let Du Heng eat candy, his parents actually hid the candy in the cupboard. Du Heng was really angry.But when Papa Du took out the candy, he immediately forgot where he was angry.He was immediately hooked by the maltose, and only sugar remained in his eyes.
Maltose can only appear in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and disappear after the Spring Festival.Du Heng thought that there were too many delicacies during the Spring Festival, which diluted his love for maltose.
But later I learned that whenever the old sugar seller came to the village, Father Du would buy a small bag of sugar and put it away.When he is obedient, his parents will take it out and feed Du Heng, and a bag of sugar will often fall into Du Heng's stomach.
Du Heng's eyes were slightly red with sugar in his mouth, he missed his parents again.I don't know if my parents are at home. He is doing well in the demon world now, and his only concern is the second elder at home.
He doesn't have much ambition, he just wants his relatives and friends to be safe and happy.But sometimes he feels that this is the most difficult wish in the world to achieve.

Du Heng decided to divide the sugar in the pot into two parts, one part would be stored in the jar with its original taste, and it would be fine to stir it up with a bamboo stick when eating.The rest of the sugar, he was going to pull into the kind of malt sugar he had eaten as a child.
Pulling sugar was originally a laborious and troublesome thing, but for monks, it was not something difficult to achieve.
Even if Du Heng pulls it with spiritual energy, he can easily cover all the remaining caramel in the pot.The maltose in the aura mass is pulled into long strips and then folded, the color gradually turns from brown to white at the beginning, and finally turns into a warm white!
Wen Qiong and the others watched in amazement, their mouths were all rounded in a smile.It turns out that caramel can change color!
After the maltose turned white, Du Heng rolled the sugar into long strips, and then divided it into granules the size of apricots.The granules of sugar became irregular shapes as they fell into the flour basin that had been waiting nearby.After the maltose cooled down, balls of maltose appeared in the flour basin.
Xuanyu reached out to take a piece of maltose and looked at it. When the maltose fell into the flour, it was still warm, and the edges and corners cut by Du Heng would be melted by the temperature.Although the shape of the sugar granules is irregular, it is very moist, with a layer of flour on it, and there is a smell of maltose when you sniff it.
Du Heng smiled and put a piece of candy in Xiaoxiao's mouth, and he put a few more candies in Wen Qiongjingnan's palm: "This kind of maltose is easy to carry, and you can eat a few when you are hungry."
Wen Qiong casually dropped a grain into her mouth. The maltose had changed from soft to hard, and it broke into uneven candy pieces after one bite.The crushed sugar melted quickly in the mouth, and the sugar in the mouth could not be easily bitten off after a while.
People who try to bite maltose will have their teeth stuck by the sugar.The joy of eating maltose is here, with sugar in your mouth, melt it a little bit, and taste its sweetness slowly.The sugar granules will change from hard to soft, and finally disappear between the lips and teeth, leaving a mouthful of fragrance.
Xiaoxiao likes maltose, and he soon discovered the correct way to eat maltose.While his mouth was still open, he took out the storage bag that he held snacks in, and then looked at Du Heng eagerly to show off his cuteness.
Although the annoying uncle walked away with his snacks, he had Du Heng and Xuan Yu around.Xuanyu remade the storage bag for Xiaoxiao, and Du Heng was responsible for making the storage bag swollen.
Du Heng immediately understood what Xiaoxiao meant, and he laughed out loud.He opened the storage bag, and solemnly put a pack of maltose wrapped in oiled paper inside: "You can't eat too much of this, it will hurt your stomach if you eat too much."
Does eating maltose give you a stomachache?No, but eating too much is not good for the body.What Du's father used to coax Du Heng when he was a child is now used by Du Heng to make him laugh.
After dealing with the maltose, the sauced duck in the pot is also cooked.Jing Nan had already smelled the fragrance, and he couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pot, but Du Heng held the lid down.
Jing Nan's beautiful eyes turned, and Du Heng's heart softened with that aggrieved look.Jing Nan said, "I can already smell it, isn't it alright?"
Du Heng nodded: "Yes, we have to soak it for half an hour and collect the juice on high heat, otherwise the taste will be much worse."
Jing Nan muttered: "But I think the taste is delicious now."
Du Heng still ruthlessly rejected his request: "No, it's not a sauced duck, but a boiled duck when the pot is boiled now. Some food tastes bad after one process."
Jing Nan blinked, and he almost fell Du Heng on his back when he said a word.
He said: "I don't believe it, unless you let me eat it now, I will give you the answer then."
Having said all of this, if Du Heng still doesn't open the lid of the pot, he might be accused of something by Jing Nan.He could only helplessly open the pot: "Okay, I'll take a piece out for everyone to taste."
Jing Nan showed a wry smile, and Du Heng happened to turn around and saw his smile.
Du Heng suddenly felt helpless: "When Jing Nan moults, it's like a different person."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "Only in front of the most trusted person can he dare to relax like this?"
If you don't trust her, who dares to reveal her true nature, who dares to expose her weaknesses?
Hearing this explanation, Du Heng's helplessness turned into deep concern: "I hope the people from Yunyan Building will send over the ingredients quickly, and I will make a bunch of delicious food for him. I will also make lotus leaf chicken called Huaji Jing Nan will definitely like it."
The taste of the duck stewed for an hour is also good. After Du Heng tasted it, he felt that the taste was very similar to the sauced duck bought in those delicatessen shops in his hometown.It seems that the people at the deli have saved a lot of work in order to save time.
Du Heng cut a quarter of the duck and put it on the dining table: "Wait a while and try the duck prepared according to my method, and see which one is better than the one now."
Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao nodded in unison. For a moment, a picture appeared in front of Du Heng's eyes: under the dim light, he put a bowl of vegetables on the table, and the chickens and foxes beside the table were all together. Shushu lowered his head and sighed.
The scene was fleeting, Du Heng rubbed his temples: "Huh?"
Xuanyu noticed Du Heng's abnormality, and he stepped forward and sent some spiritual energy to Du Heng's back: "What's wrong?"
Du Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Just now a picture appeared in my mind, I saw a little fox and a chick who looks like a smile, dislike my cooking."
Hearing this, Jing Nan, who was eating the duck, put down the duck in his hand: "Hey, maybe it's a memory from your previous life?"
When Du Heng thought Jing Nan was joking, he said casually, "Who knows, maybe it's the previous life."
Du Heng hummed a song and went to practice, Jing Nan and Xuan Yu looked at each other.
When Du Heng came back from practice, the sauced duck in the pot had been soaked in the sauce for half an hour, and the sauce was not as much as it was at the beginning.The remaining sauce became thick after the fire. At this time, the duck could not be turned freely. Du Heng was afraid that the skin of the duck would be broken, so he could only use a shovel to pour the sauce on the duck. .
After a while, the sauce thickened as if it was thickened, and the duck was ready to be cooked at this time.
The color of the roasted duck is red and bright, the sauce on it is shining brightly, and it is not easy to handle when chopping.But it didn't bother Du Heng, he wrapped the duck and the sauce on its surface with spiritual energy, and cut the duck into evenly sized pieces with a few strokes of a sharp knife.
Du Heng put the duck in front of Jing Nan: "Try it, the duck now tastes better than the duck before."
Jing Nan looked at the duck in the bowl. To be honest, in terms of appearance, the duck now is not as good as before.The sticky sauce dripped slightly on the duck skin, the duck meat inside was soaked in the sauce, and even the bone marrow turned into a sauce color.
After taking a bite, the soft and rotten duck has a salty-sweet taste, and the duck soaked in sauce is more delicious than the duck that has only been boiled for half an hour.It's just that Jing Nan groaned and said, "I think...it's still as delicious as before."
Du Heng huffed: "Are you serious?"
Jing Nan smacked his lips: "Well, although the previous taste was not as strong, I think it's pretty good. Now the duck feels too crunchy and has no chewiness."
Du Heng was a little unconvinced, so he took a piece and tasted it.Indeed, as Jing Nan said, there was nothing wrong with the sauce he seasoned, but the duck was too crunchy, and it melted away with just a sip.
It seems that Yunyanlou packs tender ducks, which cannot withstand long-term stewing.Mistake!
Jing Nan carefully looked at Du Heng's face, seeing that Du Heng was somewhat frustrated.He licked the corner of his mouth and comforted him: "Actually, a soft and rotten duck is also delicious. If I lose all my teeth when I get old, you can make this duck for me to eat. I'm sure I can eat it."
Du Heng was dumbfounded by Jing Nan: "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. You are a nine-tailed fox, how can you grow old?"
The appearance of the monks will not change much after the foundation is established. After the formation of the pill and the baby, they can change their appearance as they like.It is said that a monk who has reached the out-of-body stage can live as long as the sky, as long as he does not commit suicide.As Kyuubi, why is Jing Nan aging so easily?
But Du Heng, if he doesn't practice well, he may not live to the day when Jing Nan loses his teeth.
Although the duck was missed, it didn't affect everyone's love for the duck. Fortunately, Du Heng only made one duck, and everyone worked together to eat one duck in one meal today.No, it's not time for dinner yet, Xiaoxiao is already gnawing on the duck's thigh.The duck that Jing Nan despises is not disgusting with a smile.
Tonight's meat dish is duck, and Du Heng is also planning to fry pork with double bamboo shoots.This is a vegetarian dish that Du Heng loves to eat in his hometown, and it is also a seasonal dish that Wen Qiong and the others think are quite delicious.
Thinly sliced spring bamboo shoots and lettuce are served with tenderloin rubbed with cornstarch, stir-fried in a pan and then topped with a little thickening sauce.Xiaoxiao can mix two bowls of rice with that thickening sauce!
Du Heng remembered that when he was in college, he left the province where his hometown was for the first time and came to a university in the north.In college, everything is new.After the novelty wears off, he starts to feel uncomfortable.The most difficult thing to adapt to is the diet. Du Heng can't eat spicy food, and the people in his hometown have a sweet taste, which is relatively bland.In university cafeterias, chefs add soy sauce and pepper to every dish they stir-fry.
After Du Heng ate the big pot of vegetables for a week, he got angry, and there were several ulcers in his mouth, and it was hot and painful to drink water.Eating became the last thing he wanted to face. He wanted to eat rice and braised pork crazily. It would be even more delicious if he could have a bowl of vegetables fried by his mother.
However, the braised pork in the university cafeteria contained chili peppers, so Du Heng had no choice but to drink plain porridge, but it was a pity that he had good cooking skills but he could only sigh at the plain porridge.
One night after self-study get out of class, Du Heng went to the cafeteria to buy porridge and drank it. The chef in the cafeteria thought he was a difficult student who was part-time and part-study, so he enthusiastically helped Du Heng replace the porridge with mapo tofu.
Du Heng's eyes turned red when he looked at the bowl of rice. The cook thought he was moved and cried. God knows that Du Heng was about to burst on the spot.
Later, after some explanations, the uncle cook understood Du Heng's distress, and then he served Du Heng a pair of bamboo shoots and sliced pork with rice.It was the first time Du Heng ate this dish. To be honest, when he saw that there was no chili or soy sauce in the blue and white rice bowl, he almost shed tears of gratitude.
The rice bowl with double bamboo shoots and pork slices made by the chef is actually not very good. He is used to cooking heavy-tasting dishes, so he was not sure how much salt to use for this rice bowl.When Du Heng ate it, he felt that it was slightly salty, but in the college cafeteria, this was one of the few bland dishes he could eat.
Du Heng ate double-bamboo-sliced pork with rice at the cafeteria window for more than ten days in a row. At the end of the meal, the cook knew he wanted to order this dish when he saw him.Later, when the uncle cook returned to his hometown, Du Heng never tasted his cooking skills.
174
The lettuce and spring bamboo shoots were all blanched, Du Heng poured a small amount of soybean oil into the pot, and he slid the tenderloin slices kneaded with white wine and cornstarch into the pot.After the meat slices were put into the pot, Du Heng used a shovel to cut them apart slightly. When the meat slices changed color slightly, he poured the blanched lettuce and spring bamboo shoots into the pot and stir-fried them.
This dish only needs to be seasoned with a little salt and sugar, then add a thin thickening sauce and stir fry evenly, and sprinkle some mushroom essence before serving, the taste is simply delicious.And the appearance of this dish is very good-looking, the lettuce is green, the spring bamboo shoots are slightly yellow, and it is served with white tenderloin slices.The color looks fresh when placed on the plate, and the thin thickened gravy is poured on the double bamboo shoots, as if covering the colorful ingredients with a layer of light gauze.
At this time, no matter what kind of bamboo shoots you pick up, it will feel crisp in your mouth.The tenderloin is fried tender and chewy. If you dislike the blandness of this dish, the tenderloin can just solve this problem.
Du Heng put a large plate of meat with double bamboo shoots on the table, and there was still a spoonful of soup and a few slices of double bamboo shoots in the pot.This spoonful of soup is the essence, Xiaoxiao loves to use this soup for bibimbap.
No, Xiaoxiao is already squatting on the stove, holding the rice bowl with her wings, staring at Du Heng eagerly, pouring the soup in the pot on the rice for him.
This hidden way of eating was taught to Xiaoxiao by Du Heng. Seeing Xiaoxiao like this, he took the bowl, picked up the spatula, and covered the remaining vegetables on the rice.Listening to Du Heng scraping the bottom of the pot, Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and smiled in satisfaction.
There is also a soup for dinner. The soup that Du Heng eats the most when he arrives in the demon world is all kinds of bone soup and broth, but today's soup is leek and egg soup.
Although it is a vegetarian soup, everyone is highly supportive.Jing Nan nodded after taking a sip of the soup: "This soup is very fresh, and it tastes better than I imagined."
Du Heng was happy: "Our hometown usually uses leeks to scramble eggs, and I think it's pretty good to eat leek and egg soup once in a while. Do you think today's dishes are a bit vegetarian? How about I cook meat for you tomorrow?"
Jing Nan shook her head: "No, I have enough ducks. You can ask Xiaoyu and the others."
Wen Qiong was making rice with leek soup, and a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.Wen Qiong said melancholy: "I'm already worried."
Du Heng was puzzled: "Huh? Master, what are you worried about?"
Wen Qiong sighed: "You can even cook so delicious green vegetables, I would be so upset if I can't eat your cooked food after I go back." Wen Qiong picked up a piece of leek and egg: "Hey, what should I do? too delicious."
Du Heng chuckled, his master is too cute.
Xuan Yu added two slices of meat to Du Heng's bowl: "I think this kind of food is very good, I like everything you do."
Jing Nan cleared his throat: "Then Du Heng will cook me duck tomorrow, and Xiaoyu will eat vegetables."
Xuan Yu glanced at Jing Nan, Jing Nan stared back without showing any weakness, Du Heng almost died of laughter.
After dinner, Du Heng felt a bit full, and he was going to go for a walk to digest food.Xuanyu also had the same idea. The two walked along the field ridge in front of their house to the peach forest under Nanshan Mountain. Du Heng wanted to see how the taro he had planted was growing.
Xuan Yu and Du Heng held hands, originally they wanted to spend some time together, but when they looked forward, Little Wonton was trotting all the way in front, with its tail bouncing up and down.
Looking back, Xiaoxiao and Nian Sui Sui lined up to follow the two of them. When they saw Du Heng and the others stop, the three furry ones looked at them suspiciously with their heads tilted.
Du Heng thinks that he and Xuanyu's two-person world is only in the bedroom.Oh, maybe the time for two in the bedroom will be interrupted by Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao has already protested, saying that he has not slept with Du Heng for several days, and he is going to be angry.
In the late spring and early summer, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the spiritual plants in the fields grow wildly. Some of the spiritual plants grow taller than people. Walking on the ridge of the field is like being in the grassland.Lingzhi exuded a delicate fragrance, but it was no match for the cold fragrance on Xuanyu's body.Du Heng couldn't help looking at Xuan Yu, who happened to be looking at him too.
The two looked at each other, somehow, and they didn't know who took the initiative.The two hugged each other and gave each other a lingering kiss. After the kiss, Du Heng's breath was a little unstable.
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng tightly, he whispered in Du Heng's ear, "It's good to have you by my side."
Du Heng hugged Xuan Yu back: "Me too, it's great to meet you."
When the two had kissed and hugged enough, they turned around and saw smiling innocently sitting on the field ridge behind them.Seeing the two stop, Xiaoxiao chirped twice, Du Heng miraculously understood Xiaoxiao's meaning, smiled and said: Don't worry about him, you continue.
Du Heng's old face was red, he and Xuan Yu would lead a bad child, right?
It's strange to say that he and Xuan Yu are clearly in love, yet they feel like an old married couple.When the two came to the peach grove, Xuan Yu first helped to clean up the weeds beside the taro, while Du Heng used spiritual energy to roll the stream water to water his taro.
The plums on the tree are already the size of a thumb, and in half a month, Du Heng will be able to pick them off and soak them in wine to make plum wine.
The two of them were busy in the peach forest for a while, and suddenly Xuanyu said to Du Heng: "The person who delivered the ingredients from Yunyan Tower is here, and he is at the entrance of the village. Do you want to go together?"
Du Heng was slightly surprised: "Hey? Did it come so soon? Talking about Xuanyu, I never knew how you told the people in Lingxi Town that you needed something."
A bright yellow talisman appeared in Xuanyu's hand: "This talisman can make short-distance calls."
Du Heng took the talisman curiously and looked at it. In fact, he felt that this talisman was no different from the five-element talisman he used.
Xuan Yu snapped his fingers, and the talisman turned into a puff of green smoke in Du Heng's hands.Qingyan circled around Du Heng, and finally stopped in front of Du Heng.
Xuanyu said: "This is the talisman seal of Zhou's shop. After lighting the talisman seal, Qingyan will bring what you need to say to Zhou Lianhua or Zhou Xiyue. You can try it, and let them deliver what you need. "
Du Heng is in a hurry, he doesn't need anything right now, Xuan Yu can just say a word, how can a talisman be wasted?
At this moment, Du Heng heard a voice as light as a gnat coming from his ear: "Is it Master Xuan?"
Du Heng was shocked: "Someone is talking!" It's amazing, this kind of talisman is the phone number of the cultivation world!
Hearing Du Heng's voice, a response came from the blue smoke: "It's Mr. Du? Hello, Mr. Du. I'm Zhou Lianhua. Do you have any orders for me?"
Du Heng didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that Xuan Yu deliberately lit the talisman to let him use the talisman, right?Zhou Lianhua must think that he and Xuanyu are fools.
At this time Xuanyu said: "It's me, Du Heng and I have become Taoist couples."
As soon as the words fell, Du Heng suddenly turned his head to look at Xuan Yu, why did he tell the people in Zhou's shop about this?
Zhou Lianhua's reaction was even more excited than Du Heng's. Du Heng heard the sound of something falling from the other end of the talisman.
Xuan Yu said slowly: "When you see Du Heng in the future, it will be like seeing me."
This time, the voices of Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Xiyue came from the other end of the talisman: "Yes!"
After the green smoke dissipated, Du Heng came back to his senses: "Xuanyu, do Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Xiyue have anything to do with you?"
Xuanyu said calmly: "These two brothers belong to the Kunpeng clan, they are my subordinates. Feel free to send them if you need anything in the future."
A mouthful of old blood stuck in Du Heng's throat: "Then... it's my first time to go to Lingxi Town, you take me to Zhou's shop..."
Xuanyu admitted it generously: "The Zhou family's shop is my property. There are hundreds of Zhou's shops in the dragon clan in the demon world, and most of the operators are demon cultivators in the sea."
Xuanyu looked deeply at Du Heng: "I didn't tell you when I took you to Zhou's shop for the first time, because I didn't want you to be too stressed."
Du Heng's face is about to bleed, even if Xuan Yu tells him now, he is under a lot of pressure, okay?Sure enough, none of the people living in the village were poor, and Xuanyu lived in a dilapidated house at the beginning!Co-authoring is lying to myself, gaining my sympathy!
Xuan Yu held Du Heng's hand: "I didn't mean to hide from you. Before you came, I really lived that kind of life. Because of you, I want to live a good life. Xiao Heng, give me Brings hope."
Du Heng's depression flew away again, he felt that he had a lot of questions to ask Xuan Yu.Why is he running to the village instead of staying in the sea as a good dragon? What is his identity in the Dragon Clan...
But after thinking about it, the time between him and Xuanyu is still long, so just ask slowly in the future.
Now he and his family Xiaoyu are going to the entrance of the village to collect the ingredients from Yunyanlou. If there is time, he can make some delicious food for Jingnan and put it away.
