The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 539 Cooking Roast Duck

Ye Qingqing also passed the exam for the remaining two crucian carp, but this time he couldn't take the exam for such a long time.

Tang Xiaojing stood up and said: "This crucian carp is too small and the heat is difficult to control. I will kill two smaller grass carps and bring them over."

"Okay, there are still a few grass carp spines. Let's kill four of them and send two back to my mother and the others for a taste later."

As soon as Tang Xiaojing walked away, the smell of grilled fish came from the oven.

Ye Qingqing was afraid that it would be burnt again, so when he smelled the smell, he asked Ye Xilin to open the oven and turn the grilled fish inside.

Ye Xilin took out the grilled fish. At this time, one side was already cooked, but the back side was still a little undercooked.

After turning it over, Ye Qingqing counted from one to one hundred in his mind, and after counting, asked Ye Xilin to take out the grilled fish.

The grilled fish was cooked at just the right time for the second time. The fish was very tender and not fishy at all. It was very delicious.

The crucian carp itself was not big. Before Tang Xiaojing came back, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin ate one each and quickly finished the grilled fish.

All the remaining bones went into the bellies of Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Tang Xiaojing came over with four large grass carps. Ye Qingqing felt a little guilty and was so happy that she forgot about her husband.

Fortunately, Tang Xiaojing didn't pay attention and asked Ye Qingqing if he wanted to roast the duck.

Ye Qingqing kicked Ye Xilin and asked him to quickly hang the two ducks in the oven and bake them, then got up and marinated the four grass carps.

Ye Qingqing has cooked roast chicken many times before and has mastered the heat very clearly.

The duck was twice as big as the pheasant, and Ye Qingqing estimated that the roasting time would be two-thirds longer than that of the roasted chicken.

About a quarter of an hour into the roasting, the aroma of roast duck began to waft out of the oven. Ye Qingqing asked Tang Xiaojing to take out the roast duck and turn it over.

After the roast duck was cooked, the flavor of the roast duck became stronger and stronger. The rhubarb and the small yellow were already spinning around anxiously. After roasting for about half a quarter of an hour, Ye Qingqing felt that it was almost done.

Tang Xiaojing moved the adobe bricks at the door of the oven, and the smell of roast duck filled the entire yard. It smelled quite like the roast duck in Zuixianju.

"Sister, this roast duck is so delicious. It looks like a success."

"Qingqing is really amazing. This roast duck smells no worse than Zuixianju's roast duck."

"I think it's good too." Ye Qingqing was so coaxed by these two people that she felt confident.

Tang Xiaojing took the roast duck out of the oven. Ye Qingqing poked it inside with chopsticks and found that there was still a little blood inside.

The smile on Ye Qingqing's face suddenly froze, and she said awkwardly:

"The heat is still a bit off. My husband, please put the roast duck back and roast it again."

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Xilin on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Their faces turned red from holding back. In the end, they were stared at several times by Ye Qingqing, who became angry.

Ye Qingqing was afraid that the roast duck would be undercooked, so he roasted it for another half-quarter of an hour before taking it out.

The roast duck that was brought out this time was completely cooked, and the meat was fragrant. It looked no different from the one in Zuixianju.

Tang Xiaojing took the roast duck to the kitchen, chopped it in half and cut it into small pieces.

The other half will be kept in Tangshan for later consumption, while the intact one will be sent back to the Ye family.

When Tang Xiaojing brought the roast duck over, Ye Xilin hung two more large grass carps into the oven.

When the roast duck was brought over, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin couldn't wait to take a piece into their mouths.

This roast duck smelled so good, everyone’s expectations were very high, but when I tasted it, it felt just average.

Duck meat is thicker than chicken, not as tender and juicy as roast chicken, and doesn't taste as fragrant as chicken. Overall, it's not as delicious as roast chicken.

The only advantage is the duck skin on the surface. The oil in the duck skin has been roasted out. It is not greasy at all and tastes fragrant and crispy.

Ye Qingqing felt that the roast duck tasted average and said with great disappointment: "The skin of this roast duck is not bad, but the meat inside is very average."

Ye Xilin on the side also nodded in agreement, "I think it tastes average, not as delicious as the roast chicken you make."

"I think it's okay, but it's not as delicious as Zuixianju's roast duck. Zuixianju must have some secret recipe."

Tang Xiaojing felt that it was very good to make it like this. If it were to be so easy, the signboard of Zuixianju would have been torn down long ago.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin stopped eating only two pieces of duck meat, and the rest went into Tang Xiaojing's stomach.

Ye Xilin took the other roast duck back to the Ye family and gave it to Mrs. Ye and the others to try. Although the taste was average, it was good to taste something fresh.

This roast duck should be eaten while it is hot. If it is cold and smells fishy, ​​it will not taste good. Ye Xilin trotted back all the way.

"Mom, grandma, sister-in-law, there is roast duck to eat." Ye Xilin's voice came out before he entered the room.

Mother Ye came out quickly and said with a smile: "The roast duck your sister made looks good, and you can smell the aroma at home."

Ye Mu was doing embroidery in the house, which was very close to the Tang family in the back. The smell of roasted fish and duck made her ravenous for a long time.

"Ye Qingqing, this girl, cooks the roast duck in a decent way."

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Ye and Wang Chunyu also came out. The grandfather and grandson were making headbands and hairbands together in the house, and they were also greedy for the smell of meat that had come from behind.

Ye Xilin pulled off two duck legs and gave one to Mrs. Ye and the other to Wang Chunyu.

Ye Mu likes to eat duck wings, so Ye Xilin pulled off another duck wing for Ye Mu.

"The duck skin is delicious, but the meat inside is a bit lacking." Mrs. Ye was a little disappointed. It smelled so fragrant, but the taste was just average.

"Did you add too little spice? I feel it has a fishy smell."

Ye Mu thought it might be that the duck itself had a fishy smell and the spices were not strong enough to suppress it.

Wang Chunyu also said: "I don't think the roast chicken made by Niang and Qingqing is as delicious, but duck meat is not as delicious as chicken. It's still a matter of ingredients."

Mother Ye suddenly said: "What do you think about selling roast chicken in a braised pork shop? Just add an oven to the kitchen."

Old Mrs. Ye thought she could give it a try, "This is a good idea. Let's discuss it together when Feng Shui comes back tonight."

When Ye Xilin came back from Ye's house, the grilled fish was just coming out of the oven.

Although the roast duck failed, the roast fish was pretty good.

The skin of this grilled fish is crispy, but the meat inside is still tender. It has been marinated in advance and is very tasty.

Ye Xilin was eating grilled fish while talking to Ye Qingqing about the roast duck just now.

"Everyone in the family thinks that roast duck is not as delicious as roast chicken. Mom wants dad to make roast chicken and sell it in a braised pork shop."

"Sister, what do you think about letting dad add roasted chicken to the braised pork shop?"

"It's pretty good. Didn't dad always say that people in the alley are tired of eating braised pork? It would be nice to add some new dishes."

The braised pork shop has a kitchen, and you can add an oven to cook roast chicken, which Ye Qingqing thinks is very good.

"I think it's good too. Roasted chicken is so delicious." If his family sells roasted chicken, Ye Xilin can eat roasted chicken often.

The three of them ate a grilled fish, and Ye Qingqing asked Ye Xilin to take the other one back to the Ye family for Ye Mu and the others to try.

There are still two grass carps left, and Ye Qingqing plans to wait until his father and Tang Shan come back to grill them later. This grilled fish must be freshly cooked to be delicious.

After eating and drinking, Ye Xilin went back with grilled fish, and he was going back to feed the pigs.

"Sister, I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go back first. The fish will be roasted later, and I will take it back to grandpa, dad and eldest brother to try."

Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing were half full after eating grilled fish and roast duck. Ye Qingqing planned to skip cooking at night and cook a pot of mung bean porridge.

The remaining duck offal is hung in the well for eating tomorrow.

When Tangshan came back, Ye Qingqing grilled the remaining two grass carps, and reheated the remaining half of the roast duck in the afternoon.
