Chapter 241 Duck Intestines
"Haha, I'll give you a packet of seeds later. When you plant them next spring, they will produce chili peppers. This year's solar term has already passed."
"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I know you guys rely on this for your livelihood."
Zhou Laosan is his good brother, he would never stab his own people in the back.
"Haha, okay, I'll make it happen if you say that. But this chili is really good, and my family doesn't want to keep it. If anyone wants it next spring, we'll give some to them."
Yang Liuqing smiled. He knew that no one in the Zhou family could do such a thing, and his third brother was his role model in life.
He ate the food in the bowl. Since the food was spicy, he ate it slowly with the steamed bun.
"That's great, what's the name of this dish?"
"San Ya said, it's called 'Duck Eight Chi'."
Zhou Laosan’s cheeks were so full from eating that he had no time to introduce them one by one.
“Dumb food? No wonder it’s called this. The spiciness will make you dumb after eating it.”
Zhou Mingshu didn't have time to swallow the food in his mouth. Uncle Liu Qing made him laugh and he almost choked.
But he spoke in a low voice, and as the others were so busy eating, they didn't hear the funny part in his words.
How come this pun is everywhere~~so funny.
"Liu Qing, are you okay?"
"Ah? It's okay."
Yang Liuqing was completely confused by Zhou Laosan's questions.
"It's best if you're alright. I still have a few ducks to kill. Good brother, help me."
"Okay, it's just a few ducks, easy."
After the meal, Zhou Lao Da and others simply relieved their fullness and continued to kill ducks.
Liu and the others went to the kitchen to wash dishes, clean the pots and boil water.
Zhou Mingshu also busy himself with the ducks.
The internal organs such as duck hearts and duck livers are easy to handle. Just soak them clean of blood.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the duck intestines, which are simply a nightmare and are even harder to clean than pig intestines.
This thing is thin, long, greasy and *. It's quite difficult to eat some duck intestines!
It’s not like Yangliuqing hasn’t slaughtered chickens and ducks before, but this is the first time that the Zhou family has slaughtered ducks the way they did, and every step is done very carefully.
Even duck feathers have special containers.
He killed two ducks under Zhou Laosan's instructions and became familiar with the basic process.
Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters, along with Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie, picked some duck intestines and went to the creek behind the house to wash them.
Each of them took a pair of scissors to split the duck intestines and rinsed off the duck fat and duck * inside.
This step alone took them more than half an hour.
When it was getting dark, they took the basins and went back.
Zhou Mingshu sprinkled some white vinegar, white wine and salt on the duck intestines, and would do the rest tomorrow.
I didn’t feel tired because I did a small amount just now, but now that the amount has increased, I feel tired immediately.
The weather is cool now, so it's okay to soak it in cold water overnight. Just be careful of wild cats.
The next day.
Boss Zhou and Mrs. Liu drove a donkey cart to the town.
We carried twenty ducks that had been slaughtered yesterday in the car and roasted them as we drove.
Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan stayed at home to kill ducks in preparation for tomorrow's duck goods.
"Grandma, come out and collect the ducks."
Zhou Mingshu was washing clothes in the yard when a villager came to the door with a basket full of ducks, which were quacking loudly.
Old Mrs. Zhou was looking after her little grandson in the room. She put the child down when she heard this.
"Hey, this has been delivered. Please put it in the backyard for me."
Mrs. Zhou took a look and saw that it was the duck she had bought yesterday.
Because the ducks are still laying eggs, some people are reluctant to buy them. They want to sell them for money but are reluctant to part with the eggs, so they want to keep them for another day.
Old Mrs. Zhou picked them all up and found they were all about the same weight, ten ducks for two hundred coins. She counted the money and handed it to her neighbor.
After receiving the money, the neighbor smiled, adding a touch of color to his dark face.
"Uncle, you can feed more ducks. We will always collect ducks."
Old Mrs. Zhou reminded her that her neighbor's family was not well off, as he had an elderly mother and an underage child, and their life was rather hard.
"Okay, thank you, thank you."
The man looked very embarrassed. He took the money, said thank you a few times, and turned and left.
"Grandma, can we still raise yellow ducks now?" Zhou Mingshu didn't know much about this.
"That's not the case. The best time to hatch chicks and ducklings is in spring. It's hard to hatch them now because the weather is cold. But there are people selling ducklings on the street. You can buy some, but whether you can buy them depends on your luck."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou hurried to the inner room to see the child.
Zhou Mingshu thought about it and decided that this was a good idea as ducks grow fast.
As long as they are well raised, they can be slaughtered in one and a half months, weighing just about four pounds, which just meets their needs.
Help fellow villagers increase some extra income and improve everyone's lives.
After Zhou Mingshu hung the clothes up to dry, he took out the duck intestines that had not been cleaned yesterday and continued cleaning them.
He took out a piece of wooden board, scraped off the membrane on the duck intestines, and then washed them several times with clean water before they were clean.
She plans to cook the duck heads, duck hearts, duck feet, duck intestines and other ingredients she got today into hot braised dishes.
Braised duck and stir-fried duck have different flavors, everyone will definitely like them.
She prepared the marinade and white wine, blanched all the duck products and then washed them with cold water to ensure that the food was clean enough.
After adding all into the pot, simmer over low heat for about half an hour, then finally simmer over high heat until the sauce thickens.
Zhou Mingshu did not put a lot of chili peppers, so the whole pot of duck tasted slightly spicy and numb, and it tasted great when paired with beer.
But eating only duck is too monotonous.
I'll ask my uncle to buy some dried tofu and tofu skin on the street tomorrow. It would be even better if there were quail eggs.
However, she had been to the town so many times and had never seen anyone selling it. It seemed that if she wanted to eat it, she had to start from her.
So she found an excuse to take a walk in the mountains, and when she came back, there were five little quail chicks in her backpack.
Raise it slowly, it will eventually lay eggs.
"Father, uncle, look what bird I caught in the mountains?"
Zhou Mingshu showed them the basket as if he was presenting a treasure. The bird looked quite pretty, and its feathers were very similar to those of a sparrow, but judging from its current size, it was definitely not a sparrow.
"There are five of them. You are so lucky. This is a whole nest of them!"
Zhou Laosan was very surprised that he could have an extra meal in the evening.
"Yes, it's such a cute little bird, we should keep it as a pet. We won't get much meat even if we kill it."
"Yes, raise them first and then kill them."
These little quails were still too small, so Zhou Mingshu packed up a basket and planned to place them in her room first. She was a little afraid that the wild cats in the village would take them away.
When they grow up, put them in the backyard and let them lay eggs.
I originally wanted to raise a few more roosters, but it would be too eye-catching to take out so many things at once.
