Future Shennong Space

Before the credits in the account were used up, Ji Mingxiao finally got everything ready for his stall.

In order to ensure the taste of Drunken Immortal Duck, he deliberately made it at home in advance.

Specially selected fresh white striped duck of about two and a half catties, star anise, peppercorns, angelica, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon... More than 20 herbs are prepared according to the amount and boiled twice with water, and the boiled soup is filtered through the residue. Add seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar and cooking wine, and then soak the duck that has been modified for more than ten hours to complete the preliminary processing.

When Xiao came in, he first smelled a strange smell, and then saw Ji Mingxiao filtering a soup made from leaves and grass roots in the kitchen.The color and taste of this soup is very strange, and it looks a little scary.

"Are you a wizard? Are you brewing a potion?" Xiao said that he couldn't accept it. The scene in front of him was like a fantasy movie he had seen. Fortunately, Ji Mingxiao still looked normal, not as eerie and weird as the wizard in the movie .

Ji Mingxiao glanced at him angrily when he heard the words, "What, I'm making duck soup, okay?"

"What?!" Xiao was taken aback, "Are you going to put the duck in there?"

"That's right." Ji Mingxiao said as a matter of course, and then began to put the prepared seasonings into the soup one by one, stirring it evenly while putting it on.

What if you look more like a wizard?

Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then suggested tactfully: "I don't think... no one will be interested in this. You can make different foods, such as the porridge you made before, and that... soup dumpling?"

Ji Mingxiao thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Well, actually, I've always wanted to open a porridge shop, selling porridge and steamed buns in the morning and evening, cooking and rice at noon, and packing them into box lunches for takeaway. "

"However..." he said regretfully, "I don't know if everyone can accept porridge, and there are too many things to prepare, it's better to have a shop."

He began to dip the cleaned white and tender duck into the soup, and the duck was quickly submerged in the dark brown soup.

The corners of Xiao's eyes couldn't help twitching.

"Okay." Seeing his expression, Ji Mingxiao couldn't help laughing, "I won't let you just eat like this, and you have to go through a procedure."

The ducks were soaked until the next morning, and Ji Mingxiao took them out to dry.

The duck frying tool is much smaller than the traditional duck frying furnace, and only 5 ducks can be placed at the same time at a time.

Heat the oil to a certain temperature, put the dried duck in, put the head on the outside, and fry until the duck skin is a little yellow, put the whole duck into the oil in order, then cover it, and fry it under high pressure.

It seems that some kind of chemical reaction happened suddenly, and the rich aroma began to waft in the room gradually, and then was sent outside by the smoke exhaust machine.

Someone came out from the balcony again.

Recently, the residents of this building have been numb by the aroma of various meals that often come out, and now they are stimulated by the aroma of ducks, and they start to fidget again.

When the first pot of duck comes out of the oven, the aroma has reached its maximum value, almost forming a substance that rushes directly to people's noses.

Ji Mingxiao was stupefied by the scent, and then drooled down his face.

It's been a long time since I've smelled this smell, it's still so strong and domineering, but the aroma is a bit unstoppable.

After putting the freshly baked duck on the dinner plate lined with oil-absorbing paper, Ji Mingxiao stretched out his paws uncontrollably to take it. He gasped from being burned, and then blew on the retracted fingers .

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Ji Mingxiao froze for a moment, Xiao already had the authorization of his room, he could come in without knocking, and he didn't know anyone else, who was ringing the doorbell at this moment?

He clicked on the terminal, and a strange blonde girl was displayed on the virtual screen.

"Hi, hello." The girl greeted with a smile.

Ji Mingxiao nodded to her and said hello: "Hi, may I ask who you are?"

"Ah, I'm your upstairs neighbor, my name is Thea." The girl said, "I've made a lot of cakes, do you want to taste them together?"

Ji Mingxiao is slightly embarrassed, why does the scene in front of him seem familiar?

But it's really not good to leave a girl outside the door, Ji Mingxiao thought about it, and replied, "Wait a minute."

Turning off the terminal, he went to open the door.

Thea was about his age and looked pretty with light blue eyes.For some reason, Ji Mingxiao's eyes swept across her chest, and then landed on her neck - there is no Adam's apple, she is indeed a real girl.

Realizing what he had done, Ji Mingxiao immediately blushed, and hurriedly invited her into the room.

Thea was indeed here to deliver the cake, but when she came in, she let out a "wow" exclamation.

"What did you do? This smell is so charming!" She seemed to have just discovered this smell, exaggerated admiration, and then looked at the door of the kitchen, showing a look that she really wanted to go in and have a look.

Ji Mingxiao would be really stupid if he didn't know what was going on at this moment, but it's not annoying for a beautiful girl to deliberately make such an expression.He shyly invited: "Well... I just made duck, but it is deep-fried, if you don't mind, would you like to try it together?"

"I don't mind at all!" Thea suddenly smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."

The color of the freshly baked duck is oily red, and it will give people a strong appetite at the first sight.Ji Mingxiao kept the duck in its original shape, quickly cut it into small pieces, and then put the whole duck on the plate.In order to ensure the appearance, I also took out a carrot from the vegetable basket and washed it, peeled off the outer layer of red skin and rolled a small carved flower, and added a few green tarbu leaves to put on the plate -- good Well, it's all a hangover from working in restaurants, and I can't help but make the presentation a little prettier.

There was another moment of wonder from Thea as she placed the plate on the table, and she looked deeply moved after putting the first piece of duck into her mouth.

"Woo, I can't stand it for a long time." She chewed the duck meat and said vaguely, "Every day, I smell such a delicious smell, but I just can't eat it. It's just too painful... I finally got it today. , even better than expected..."

Drunk Fairy Duck is fried, but it doesn’t taste greasy at all, because the oil of the duck itself will be fried out during the frying process, so it is necessary to keep scooping out the oil during frying to prevent overflow Come.

The freshly prepared duck is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the skin and flesh fall off naturally with a light bite.

Thea looked moved to the point of tears.

Ji Mingxiao was a little dumbfounded, it turned out that some people really exaggerated like this for the sake of delicious food.

He reached out to push the plate closer to Thea, but as soon as his hand touched the edge of the plate, she pressed the plate with a fork, and then looked up at him vigilantly, as if protecting food.

Ji Mingxiao was sweating profusely, and immediately raised his hands to express that he had absolutely no intention of fighting.

When Thea came back to her senses, she blushed and took the fork away in embarrassment.

"That... I'm sorry, it's just that the taste is so good, I've never eaten such a delicious duck."

It seemed that she had just realized that the master hadn't spoken yet, and she was even more embarrassed, explaining to herself in a low voice: "I don't usually do this, it's all because the food is too delicious, so I lost my composure. That...you also please Let's eat."

Saying that she invited Ji Mingxiao to eat, but her reluctance was too obvious.

Ji Mingxiao couldn't help laughing, and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm glad you like what I made, there are still in the kitchen, you can enjoy them to your heart's content."

"Ah, no, this is fine." Thea looked surprised, and then asked again: "Can I take this away?"

Ji Mingxiao sweated again, "Hmm...no problem."

Thea looked satisfied, "I said a long time ago that people who can make such delicious food must be very good. I really regret that I didn't know you earlier. It's all because of the big man."

"Huh?" Ji Mingxiao was puzzled, "What big man?"

"It was before," she said, "I guessed that it was the smell from the things made in this room, but when I came to visit, I happened to meet a big man opening the door, and I thought it was him who made it. I wanted to say hello, but when he gave him a cold look, I was too scared to say anything."

Ji Mingxiao suddenly felt a subtle sympathy—it turned out that he was not the only one who felt oppressive in Xiao's eyes.

In the end, the duck was packed and taken away by Thea. Before leaving, the little girl thanked her again and again, and then left briskly with the fresh-keeping box in her arms.

Thea's arrival seemed to turn on a certain switch, and in the following time, Ji Mingxiao's doorbell was constantly rang by various neighbors.Everyone seemed to have made an appointment, and they all came to the door with different gifts, claiming to visit their neighbors.Then the few ducks just out of the pot were sent out one by one as a gift, and everyone was smiling when they left.

The people who came later expressed great regret when they heard that the duck was gone. From the expressions on it, it could be seen that this was definitely not a polite remark.

Ji Mingxiao had to tell them that starting from tomorrow, he would have a stall on the street. If you don't mind, everyone can go directly to the stall to buy, just to take the opportunity to advertise for himself.

Everyone expressed that they would definitely go to support, and asked about the address carefully, and left satisfied.

Xiao had something to go out early in the morning, and when he came back, he happened to see Ji Mingxiao sending off the last visitor.

He vaguely felt something was wrong, and sure enough, he soon learned from Ji Mingxiao that the newly made things had been distributed.

It didn't show at all on the surface, but Xiao Neli felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Originally, no matter what Ji Mingxiao did, he was the first to taste it, but now this privilege has been broken!

Ji Mingxiao suddenly felt that the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop.
