After Shopkeeper Niu finished speaking, Su Laoer and Su Sheng looked at Su Yu, as if she was the one who made the decision. If it weren't for the outsiders, Su Laoer would have wanted to slap his thigh. The daughter's trick is really good, and he Su Laoer Why is Er's daughter so smart?
Su Yu looked like he was thinking, as if he was considering the feasibility of doing this. In fact, he was already happy and the fish took the bait.
"I can make it for you two to try and see how it tastes? But I have one request. When I make it, no one else can be around except my father and eldest brother."
"That's natural. We have a separate small kitchen in Taihe Building. If Miss Su has any other needs, please feel free to ask."
"I need an oven and a duck. I have all the other seasonings with me, so I don't need them."
Shopkeeper Niu looked at the small satchel slung across Su Yu's body. He didn't understand why this girl brought a bunch of condiments when she went out, but now was not the time to be curious.
"Okay, you three, come with me, I'll take you there."
Xu Yuanwai was also curious and followed him. Although he couldn't look inside, he could smell it outside in advance.
Sure enough, the world of foodies is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
It didn't matter whether Xu Yuanwai followed the boss Niu or not. With Xu Yuanwai's tongue, it would be easy for him to open a restaurant and squeeze out the business of Taihe Building. If Xu Yuanwai had had that idea, he would have done it earlier, and he would not have gone to Taihe Building to eat every now and then. He knew that Xu Yuanwai was only interested in eating, but he was not interested in how to cook it or the complicated management of the restaurant. Now he doesn't want to buy the Su family's recipe. He just wants to be the first to eat it when the Taihe Building is sold. As we all know, the Xu family's cooks are the most difficult to cook, and they have to change a batch every few months.
In the corner of the back kitchen of Taihe Building, there is a separate small kitchen, which is specially used by Taihe Building to research new dishes, or for people like the Su family who come to Taihe Building to sell secret recipes, but do not want others to know. I have to say that Taihe Building is very considerate in their work. Even Su Yu can't find fault with them. I'm really curious about what kind of person the owner behind Taihe Building is.
"Miss Su, the three of you will cook in this small kitchen. The duck will be delivered shortly. No one will disturb you in the meantime."
Taihelou didn’t really have any fresh duck, but they knew where to buy it, but it took time to go back and forth, so the three of them had to wait for a while.
After waiting for others to leave, Su Yu first prepared the seasonings he brought. He took out all the seasonings he brought in the cloth bag and opened them one by one. He grabbed some of each according to the feel of his hand and mixed them together. There was also a small bamboo tube inside. It was soy sauce she made when she first came to Yujiacun. It was really difficult at home at the time, so she didn't make much. After several months of fermentation, although the taste was not pure yet, it was usable. To be honest, she really didn't like the soy sauce in restaurants.
"Dad, please help light the fire and heat up the stove. Brother will boil a pot of hot water on the stove. I will use it later."
More than a quarter of an hour later, a duck was delivered to Su Yu. The duck had been cleaned according to Su Yu's requirements.
Su Yu tied a stick on the duck's head. The father and son each took one end of the stick and placed it on the pot on the stove. Su Yu took a gourd, poured hot water and poured it on the duck, making the pores on the duck's body appear. In the open state, set aside to cool after cooking. Apply the previously prepared seasoning evenly on the duck. In order to promote absorption, press the duck for half an hour. For roast duck, it is best to marinate the duck the night before. , roast it early the next morning, and the roasted duck will be more delicious and the aroma will be stronger.
If she had told the shopkeeper that she had prepared duck at home, she would have been suspicious, so she did not do this. Instead, she used fresh duck prepared by the restaurant to make it. Although the taste would be slightly different, the problem was still the same. .
After marinating the duck for half an hour, he took out a small bamboo tube from his backpack, which contained wild honey that his father had picked up in the mountains. Apply the honey evenly on the duck, and then apply it a second time after a quarter of an hour. Wait until the duck The honey on his body was in a semi-dry state. Su Yu hooked the duck and prepared to hang it on the oven, but his body was not strong enough.
"Dad, hang this duck on the oven, be careful, there is only one duck."
While Su Yu was making it, the father and son were watching from the side. Neither of them expected that making a duck would be so troublesome. It took more than an hour before roasting it.
"I know, let dad come."
When the duck was hung in the oven, Su Yu stayed by and controlled the heat. There was still a certain skill involved in roasting the duck.
After roasting for almost an hour, the duck was finally roasted.
"Okay, Dad, take down the duck."
The father and son who were sitting aside and waiting were already drowsy, and now they had woken up. Seeing that Su Yu finally said yes, they immediately became energetic, which was considered good.
By the time Su Laoer put the duck on a large plate, Su Yu had already started preparing the dipping sauce. People here generally don't like spicy food, so the sweet noodle sauce should be acceptable.
Pour a bowl of water into a small pot, pour the soy sauce you brought, add two spoons of flour, add a spoonful of sugar, and finally add the shrimps you caught by the river at home, dried and ground. The powder is used to enhance the freshness.
After adding all the ingredients, stir them with chopsticks. A bowl of sweet noodle sauce is ready in a short time. However, the squid is not quite full. Compared with the seasonings of later generations, the ancient seasonings are really too little. After tasting it, it tastes good. , cut some shredded cucumbers and green onions and put them on a plate.
"Dad, go and ask the beef shopkeeper to come in. The roast duck is ready."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
When the three of them first entered the kitchen, Shopkeeper Niu and Mr. Xu were sitting and waiting in a small pavilion not far away. They didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to be a duck. Shopkeeper Niu really had too many things to do, so he left to get busy. I sent a boy to wait here and call him when the inside is ready.
Xu Yuanwai also worked hard to eat the roast duck. He sat and waited in the pavilion outside for most of the day. He was so hungry that he couldn't stand it and didn't think of eating anything else. He was afraid that the roast duck would be cooked later. No matter if the food made by that girl tastes good or not, he has been waiting for such a long time, and he is really unwilling to not eat it.
Seeing that the kitchen door finally opened, before Su Lao Er could say anything, the waiter had already run off to find shopkeeper Niu. The place where shopkeeper Niu works is not far from the kitchen, so Mrs. Niu arrived soon after. When shopkeeper Niu arrived, Xu Yuanwai had just entered the kitchen and said a few words.
"Girl, what kind of duck are you making? I'm just smelling it outside and my mouth is watering. I just don't know how it tastes in my mouth?"
"I've kept Uncle Xu waiting for a long time, but I still have to wait for the cattle boss to come over before I can eat it."
"You're such a stingy girl, so what if you let me eat first?"
Su Yu smiled and said nothing.
The two of them didn't have to wait for too long. Shopkeeper Luo Niu came in almost as soon as they said anything.
