Gu Xianyu pursed his lips and smiled. Since he was born, he has been surrounded by all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies. It is not difficult to see Zhang Zheng's thoughts.
This old man is really interested in this disciple Chu Yue.
However, he didn't have any other thoughts about Chu Yue. If such a clean girl entered the big dyeing vat in the palace, the spiritual energy in her body would probably disappear.
Make fists with both hands.
"Now that the matter here is over, Doctor Zhang and County Master Yue take their leave."
Chu Yue said happily, "Third Prince, walk slowly."
Gu Xianyu looked at her deeply before leaving and said, "If Lord Heyue County goes to the capital, if you have any difficulties, you can go to the Third Prince's Mansion to find me."
It’s me who is used here, so the sense of oppression is much smaller.
Chu Yue nodded.
"Okay, He Yue thanks the third prince first."
Watching Gu Xianyu leave, Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, what kind of miraculous figures are the partners you found for me?"
"The rest of them either have the same status as him or have a higher status than him." Zhang Zheng said calmly.
"Higher than the prince..." Chu Yue looked at Zhang Zheng in surprise, "Is it possible that there is still a prince today?"
"What are you thinking about, girl?" Zhang Zheng pointed at her head, "When the emperor is sitting on the world today, what is there for you? How can people like this in you? Besides, even if they want to, they can't hold you back. This face takes something from the hands of a little girl like you."
Chu Yue looked around and reminded cautiously, "Master, I don't want to talk about people like this behind their backs. What if people find out about it later?"
Zhang Zheng shook his beard but did not lower his voice at all because of Chu Yue's reminder.
"Even in front of him, I dare to say that."
Knowing that the old naughty master's identity was unusual, Chu Yue didn't think much about it, took Zhang Zheng's arm and headed towards the small courtyard.
"Master, today I have been granted the title of County Lord. How about we celebrate it tonight?"
Zhang Zheng looked at Chu Yue expectantly.
"Perhaps you cooked the roast goose?"
Since the last time I had roast goose at Tingyulou, I bought two geese. However, Zhang Zheng bought too many ingredients and couldn't eat them at all, so he could only pen the two geese in the courtyard. Keep it.
Zhang Zheng stared at the two geese every day, greedy.
Today is a good opportunity.
Chu Yue smiled at Zhang Zheng, knowing that the old man was greedy, she nodded and said, "Okay! Let's roast a big goose tonight!"
When Zhang Zheng heard this, he immediately laughed from ear to ear.
After returning home, Chu Yue asked Hei Mu to kill one of the geese.
Because he didn't plan to live here for a long time, he didn't hire a mother-in-law to cook. Chu Yue and Ningdong took turns cooking these days, and Heimu almost became the two's royal butcher.
It's ridiculous that all his skills are used in slaughtering livestock.
Although he was reluctant, he was the only man here except the old man Zhang Zheng, so things had to be done.
Heimu slaughtered the goose with a dark face and removed the feathers. Chu Yue took the goose and first removed its claws and wings so that it could be made into braised food later.
Then pour a large bowl of sauce and tangerine peel into the belly of the big goose. Use your hands to rub the sauce evenly on the goose's belly. The tangerine peel is a crucial ingredient for roasting goose. The oiliness of the roasted goose and the roasted goose juice rich in the aroma of tangerine peel must be the essence and deliciousness. This step was figured out by Chu Yue herself.
After pouring the sauce, Chu Yue used bamboo skewers to sew up the belly of the roasted goose, inflated the belly of the roasted goose, used hot and cold water to give the roasted goose a firm shape, and then used rice vinegar, mature vinegar, maltose, and rice wine. The prepared crispy water was poured all over the goose, and then hung on the mouth of the stove to dry.
The main purpose of watering with hot water is to set the shape of the roasted goose, and the main purpose of watering with cold water is to make the skin of the roasted goose firm and evenly colored when fired.
After completing this step, Chu Yue asked Ningdong to add a fire in the kitchen hall. It didn't need to be big, the main thing was to dry the goose first.
Zhang Zheng looked at Chu Yue who was busy, then at the big fat goose, and swallowed.
"It turns out that making roast goose is so troublesome. No wonder you didn't want to do it before."
Chu Yue smiled.
"If we want something delicious, we can't be in a hurry. Master, just wait. We can eat whatever we want at noon. The goose has to be roasted in the afternoon."
Zhang Zheng nodded, "Okay, there's no rush."
It was just his eyes, but he still glanced in the direction of the goose from time to time.
…
After the goose had been hanging for three hours, Chu Yue observed that it was almost done. He took the pot away from the stove, fixed the goose on top of the stove, turned it upside down with the pot, and then added charcoal to the stove. Start roasting the goose.
Let Ningdong stare at the fire for roasting goose, Chu Yue took the opportunity to prepare a few side dishes.
Finally, the roast goose came out of the oven, and the smell of roast goose with the faint fragrance of tangerine peel spread far away. Zhang Zheng, who had been taking a nap in the courtyard, shrugged his nose and immediately woke up.
So delicious!
Just smelling it, he couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Zhang Zheng swallowed hard and said, "My good disciple, is the roast goose ready?"
"Master, it's time to wash your hands and have dinner."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she placed the roast goose on the chopping board and scraped the skin of the roasted goose with a knife. A clear crisp sound could be heard.
She cut the roasted goose into pieces and chopped off a large piece of the goose leg.
"Master, please try the roast goose I made."
Zhang Zheng washed his hands indiscriminately, wiped them directly on his clothes, then picked up the goose leg that Chu Yue specially left for him and took a bite.
After one bite, the skin is crispy, the meat is tender and smooth, and the sweet juice fills your mouth, mixed with the faint fragrance of tangerine peel, and it doesn't feel greasy at all.
It was so delicious that Zhang Zheng was almost speechless.
"delicious!"
Seeing that he couldn't stop taking one mouthful after another, Chu Yue handed a small half of it towards Ningdong and Heimu.
"Ningdong, Heimu, this is yours."
Ningdong could not bear the fragrance of the roasted goose for a long time. He hurriedly carried the roasted goose and walked towards Heimu. Although the expression on Heimu's face was still calm, his eyes would glance at the roasted goose in Ningdong's hand from time to time. One glance.
Seeing that everyone had eaten, Chu Yue tore a small piece from the roast goose in front of her and put it into her mouth.
After taking two bites, she narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
That’s it!
…
The border war was on track, and there was no need for Chu Yue to stay here any longer. After she rented a carriage to send Zhang Zheng back, she continued to inspect the situation at the other branches.
After Zhuang Huiyun's branch in Yongzhou City was stable, she had already led her sisters to leave Yongzhou City.
Chu Yue went south through Jizhou and arrived at Chaozhou. By the way, he planned a route to transport seafood from Chaozhou to the north in winter, and then went north from Chaozhou back to Yuezhou.
When I returned to Yuezhou, it happened to be early June.
Zhang Qiuying gave birth in mid-June, and she had to rush back before then to help keep an eye on everything in the workshop. Until Zhang Qiuying recovered, she could continue to be responsible for everything in the workshop.
