No matter how the old master of Wu, the old master of Su, and the old master Wu tried to knock on the side, Zhuge Yi, Li Haitang, and Su Miaoqing did not answer.The gambling game is only clear to the three of them, and these scheming old foxes can watch the excitement in peace.The old master of Wu heard that Li Haitang and Su Miaoqing made a bet on cooking osmanthus stuffed duck, as for what is the bet?
Zhuge Yi explained that only the two little girls knew.The old master of the Wu family was not interested in the bet, he wanted to know which of the two little girls could make his deceased daughter's specialty.In previous years, he tasted the osmanthus stuffed duck cooked by Su Miaoqing himself, and the taste was acceptable, but it did not have the familiar taste made by his daughter.As for the small owner of the valley house, it is enough to make an appearance, but the taste is not delusional.The birthday banquet of Wu's house is placed in the side courtyard, a full eighty tables of seafood and mountain delicacies, wine and delicacies, the guests who come to congratulate the birthday regardless of the old age and young all gather together to drink, today can not abide by the rules of the Wu family.After three rounds of drinking, there have been two shifts of drama on the stage.The guests were tired of playing fists, drinking orders, throwing pots, etc., so they got together to gamble and drink.When the guests were surprised when the big drama on the stage was sung, the old housekeeper of the Wu family led the servants and maids to put on the long table stove, kitchen utensils, dishes and so on.Li Haitang and Su Miaoqing changed into simple and light clothes, one from the left side of the stage and the other from the right side of the stage.The old housekeeper led the servants and the maidservants down the stage, and the servants surrounded the stage and did not allow anyone to approach.Old Master Wu, Zhuge Yi, Master Wu, and Old Master Su sat on the platform under the eaves opposite the stage.Every guest in the courtyard got up to congratulate him on his birthday, and his eyes focused on the only snow-haired young man who was on an equal footing with the old master of Wu, and secretly said Who is this young man?
He was favored by the old master of Wu.On the stage, the stove is scorching, kitchen knives are flying, and fresh vegetables are shredded like threads.A pot of chicken soup was boiled fragrantly, and the half-drunk and half-awake guests were so hungry that they swallowed their saliva by the greasy aroma, and one by one stretched their necks to look at the little girl whose face was half covered by the snow veil.On the other side, Su Miaoqing skillfully and flexibly sorted out a duck that was neither fat nor thin, and when she smelled the greasy smell wafting from the side, she frowned slightly and muttered: "You cook duck in chicken soup?"
”"I do."
Li Haitang rolled her eyes and continued to boil the pot of chicken soup.After the chicken soup boiled, she put it in a clay pot with herbs and waited for the thick chicken soup to become yellow and clear."
What the hell are you doing?"
Su Miaoqing poured osmanthus glutinous rice into the belly of the duck, wrapped it with a clean white cotton rope, and then evenly coated it with pickled osmanthus sauce.Put it in a clay pot and steam it before boiling.While waiting for the steam, she walked up to Li Haitang and asked, "Who did you choose for your duck?"
”"Domesticated in the backyard of the valley house, a four-and-a-half-pound male duck."
Li Haitang poured the clear yellow and clear chicken soup into the clay pot and said to Su Miaoqing, "Are you here to steal the teacher?"
”"Stealing a teacher?
What do you have to steal?
”Su Miaoqing stomped her feet angrily, turned around and walked back to her place to guard the stove.She was curious about how Li Begonia made osmanthus stuffed duck?
After drinking it last time, she couldn't figure it out, it was the taste of the Su family.The chestnut begonia coats the duck with osmanthus sauce, stuffs the glutinous rice marinated in osmanthus sauce into the duck's belly, and puts a layer of osmanthus petals on the bottom of the steamed clay pot.With the steamer on the stove, she began to make the osmanthus juice for stuffed ducks.I was busy working around the stove, and almost every spice was scooped up.Some have one drop, some have two drops, some have three drops, and some have half a spoon......
Su Miaoqing couldn't help but come over again with curiosity, and asked curiously, "What kind of juice are you mixing?"
Do you need sauce for stuffed duck?
”"Here's my family's recipe."
Li Haitang retorted nonchalantly, and brought out a bowl of brown soup sauce and put it in the clay pot where the duck was boiled.When the clay pot on the stove spewed out a strong fragrant smell, she took a thick rag to remove the clay pot of the steamed duck.Su Miaoqing asked again: "The duck should be taken out while it is hot." ”"My recipe is different."
Li Haitang waited for the clay pot to cool before pouring out the steamed duck and putting it into the clay pot with half a pot of chicken broth.Then sprinkle in the prepared osmanthus juice, cover with a clay lid, and seal the edge of the lid with a thick rag."
Alright, you'll have your appetite in an hour."
Su Miaoqing said disdainfully: "Just an hour?
It takes two hours for our Su family's osmanthus to stuff duck. ”Li Haitang sneered: "Two hours?
Steamed and boiled, the duck meat turned into puree. ”Su Miaoqing snorted angrily and went back to her stove to guard.Two hours later, she wants Li Haitang to admit defeat in public.As time passed, the clay pot on the stove made a boiling sound and the fragrance overflowed, tempting the guests to salivate.Obviously started cooking at the same time, Su Miaoqing's clay pot was still cooking on the stove, and Li Haitang had already moved down the clay pot and was ready to remove the lid.Su Miaoqing sneered and said disdainfully: "What delicious things can be cooked in an hour."
Hum!
It's just a trick. ”"Say whatever you want.Anyway, it's my family's recipe. ”Li Haitang arrogantly retorted, and raised her little face provocatively, "If you don't admit defeat today, you will lose your face." ”"Phew!
I'm not going to lose. ”Su Miaoqing took a sip in a low voice, and patiently guarded the stove.Success or failure is in this pot, and she can't destroy her future.As long as she wins, she can marry the world's largest businessman.became the wife of the world's largest businessman, not to mention the Su family, even the Wu family is also in her pocket.Li Haitang wrapped the clay pot with a thick cotton cloth, personally held the stage, and put it on the long table placed in front of the platform."
Master, the old master of Wu, the old master of Su, Master Wu, please taste our Gu family's osmanthus stuffed duck.""
Okay."
The old master of Wu was very excited, and just smelling the fragrance reminded him of the taste of his daughter's cooking.Master Wu also stood up excitedly, standing on the edge of the platform and watching intently as Li Haitang uncovered the thick rag that sealed the lid."
Father, that's what it tastes like!
This is the taste of the osmanthus stuffed duck cooked by my sister, and I remember it clearly. ”"Quickly scoop a bowl and give it to the old master of Wu to taste."
Zhuge Yi urged Begonia and looked at the old master of Su family meaningfully.The old master of Su was complicated, he hoped that Su Miaoqing would be happy with Zhuge Yi, but he didn't want Su Miaoqing to learn to cook the Su family's family heirloom dishes.Li Haitang brought four bowls of osmanthus stuffed duck, and the first bowl was held to the old master of Wu, and said respectfully: "I wish the old master of Wu a long life and eternal peace!"
”"Good boy, reward!"
The old master of Wu smiled kindly, and with an order, Master Wu personally brought a gold ingot.Li Haitang held it in both hands and thanked Wan Fuli.The old master of Wu scooped a spoonful of clear yellow and clear soup, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus was left between his lips and teeth.He enjoyed the aftertaste with his eyes closed, but also a memory.Many years after his daughter's death, he is 80 years old.I thought that in this life, I would never be able to taste the sweet flavor that belongs to my daughter in the depths of my memory.Unexpectedly, today, he tasted it again."
Father, why are you crying?""
Just cry."
The old master of Wu handed the bowl to his son and asked Li Haitang, "How can you cook this osmanthus stuffed duck?"
This is my daughter's unique cooking skills, and I don't even teach my own daughter. ”Li Haitang bowed his head and said, "Old Master Wu forgives the sin, this osmanthus stuffed duck is not a recipe created by Mrs.
Su, but a secret recipe of our Gu House." ”"This ......
Interesting. ”The old master of Wu was very interested."
Uncle Yue, this is the real Su family taste.She must have stolen the recipe that her wife had written before her death, otherwise how could she have done it?
”The old master of Su snatched the white, put down the soup bowl, and said to the begonia: "Please tell the girl the truth, or take out the secret recipe of the valley house to prove her innocence." ”Li Haitang sneered and mocked: "The taste of the Su family in the mouth of the old master of the Su family should be in Su Miaoqing's pot, and I am not the daughter of the Su family, so I can't cook the family heirloom Su family taste." ”The old master of Su was choked, and looked at Su Miaoqing, who was still patiently guarding the stove on the stage, "Miaoqing, where is your soup?"
Do you want to boil until dark?
”On the stage, Su Miaoqing was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she didn't dare to reply.() Glory to the end
