The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 119 Roast Duck
Seeing Yao Yu entering the kitchen so late, Aunt Jiang thought Yao Yu was hungry, so she hurried forward and asked with concern, "Ma'am, is there anything I can do?"

"Aunt Jiang, you go to rest first, and when you get up early tomorrow morning, you can come and help me make the dough." At this moment, Yao Yu just wants to study how to make this sauce by himself in the kitchen.

Seeing this, Aunt Jiang withdrew from the kitchen.After a sleepless night, Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief until the rooster crowed for the third time. The sweet noodle sauce was finally made. Yao Yu didn't rest all night, so he went back to his room and took a piece of charcoal to start painting, revising while painting. After an hour, the sky finally brightened, and Yao Yu put down the charcoal in his hand, "It's finally done." The surrounding area was full of discarded rice paper.

Yao Yu took the final paper of the last chapter and went to the Jiangzhou blacksmith shop, "Master, can this thing be made before tomorrow?"

The master of the blacksmith shop glanced at the thing drawn on Yao Yu's paper, which looked like a box, "This is?"

"I need it urgently, so I would like to ask the master to make this thing for me as soon as possible." Yao Yu continued, "Even if you add more money, it's fine."

The master is also a straightforward character. When Yao Yu opened his shop, he made a pot of multigrain cakes here. When he made things on paper, he felt a sense of accomplishment. Bar."

"Okay, thank you master." Yao Yu paid the full amount directly, and then returned to Shuangshui Village.

Aunt Jiang had already made the dough. After Yao Yu entered the kitchen, she said to Aunt Jiang, "These doughs are just like dumpling wrappers, but they are thinner and bigger than dumpling wrappers."

Talking about Yao Yu, he started to get started. Aunt Jiang was also smart, and she understood Yao Yu as soon as she made it. After a while, a lot of dough was made.

Pei'an was not idle either. Yao Yu asked Pei'an to dig out the green onions in the field, then wash them and cut them into shreds. It's a pity that the current ingredients don't have cucumbers, otherwise it would be more perfect.After Yao Yu finished his work, he went to Yao Chang's yard, "Second brother."

Yao Chang is still a little depressed, but he is indeed dealing with these ducks as Yao Yu said, "Sister."

"Second brother, I'm going to take these ducks away tomorrow morning, you have to hurry up." Yao Yu came here to see if Yao Chang was dissecting these ducks. She was afraid that Yao Chang hadn't recovered from the blow. Come on.

"En." Seeing that Yao Yu was anxious, Yao Chang quickened his movements.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yao Yu took the duck, prepared sweet noodle sauce, dough and shredded green onion and set off for Jiangzhou.

The blacksmith really kept his word, and Yao Yu finished the iron oven within a day. The purpose of Yao Yu's request for this tool is to use it for roast duck, imitating the Peking duck in the previous life.

Yao Yu moved the ironware to the store again, which attracted the attention of many customers, "Boss Yao, what are you doing?"

"It looks like it's about to launch a new dish. Do you think I'm right, Boss Yao?"

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Yes, but it will take a while."

Although Yao Yu was answering these guests, he didn't stop at all. He put the oven aside and added charcoal. This oven can roast four ducks at a time.Yao Yu roasted the duck while brushing the sauce, and after a while the whole room could smell the aroma.

"I said Boss Yao, what is this?" Many people swallowed their saliva, it was so delicious.

"Roast duck." Yao Yu replied.

Of course everyone knew that it was a roast duck. They saw Yao Yu put the duck into the tin box just now. Yao Yu brushed a layer of sauce on it, and then said, "To be precise, it's a piece of skin duck. When the duck is tested, it will be roasted." When it’s golden, slice the skins and the underlying meat into slices, then wrap them in the dough, add shredded green onions and special sauces.”

Someone listened to Yao Yu's description and couldn't help swallowing, "This, how much does it cost?"

"Basically, this duck weighs more than five catties. I plan to sell it for five hundred yuan with the charcoal grilling and special sauce," Yao Yu said.

Everyone was very surprised, [-] Wen, this price is not cheap, but in Wangchen Restaurant, a good meat dish can sometimes be sold for [-] Wen, everyone thought it was actually not expensive.

In fact, Yao Yu wanted to set a price of one tael of silver, but the time was too short, and the ducks in Yao Chang's place were all dead, so they couldn't be stored for long, so Yao Yu wanted to sell all the ducks as quickly as possible.

"I want one." After the shop was silent for a long time, someone spoke.

Seeing this, Yao Yu took out one duck, sliced ​​it into a plate, and brought it to the guest's table, then wrapped a piece of skin duck and handed it to the guest, "Should I wrap the rest for you or you wrap it yourself?" ?”

"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." Most of the people who came to Yao Yu's shop to eat were not very wealthy people, and they had never enjoyed having others serve them. Besides, it was the first time they had eaten such a new thing, so they inevitably wanted to try it by themselves.

After Yao Yu handed the plate to the guest, he picked up the remaining duck rack, "Do you want to pack the remaining duck rack and take it home?"

The guest said, "Leave it alone, I'll eat it together later." But when he finished eating all the sliced ​​duck, he found that he couldn't eat the rest of the duck rack at all, "Miss Yao, this You'd better pack it for me, I really can't eat any more."

Everyone saw that the customer ate delicious food, but now they said they couldn't eat it, and they could pack the leftover duck rack, and some people couldn't stand it and started to buy it.

Soon, Yao Yu discovered that even if he tested four ducks at the same time, the guests had to wait. After all the ducks were sold out, Yao Yu had to go to the blacksmith's shop to order another oven.

The sliced ​​skin ducks in Yao's store quickly became popular, and Yao Yu sometimes had to make samples in the afternoon in order to sell out the sliced ​​skin ducks. Since then, many people who have not eaten at noon are willing to come to Yao Yu's shop.Seeing that the business of Pianpi Duck is getting better and better, Yao Yu has another attention in mind.

As soon as the door was closed, Yao Yu went to the house. The former steward Peng had long been promoted to the shopkeeper Peng. When he saw Yao Yu, the shopkeeper Peng warmly greeted him, "Ms. Yao is here to buy a shop?" It was because Yao Yu bought this Yao's store that Manager Peng was promoted from manager to shopkeeper, so the shopkeeper Peng was so enthusiastic when he saw Yao Yu.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you in the past few years. Shopkeeper Peng has become more and more energetic." Yao Yu and Shopkeeper Peng exchanged polite words before introducing the main topic, "I want to buy a shop in Dongshi. It doesn't need to be too big."

Shopkeeper Peng asked, "It's not convenient for Mrs. Yao to tell me, what is the purpose of this shop?"

"Sell food." Yao Yu said.

Shopkeeper Peng opened the map and thought for a while, "Miss Yao, how about this location?" Shopkeeper Peng pointed to the location within half a kilometer of the shop opened by Yao Yu. There are a lot of people here, and it is indeed a good place to sell food. "How about this?" , shall I take Mrs. Yao to have a look?"

"Then trouble shopkeeper Peng." Yao Yu said.

This shows that the store is indeed not as big as Yao's earlier, but fortunately, the layout is good, and a single room can be opened on the first floor to specialize in roast duck, and the rest of the place and the second floor can be used for guests to sit and eat roast duck.

After leaving the shop, shopkeeper Peng asked, "How does Lady Yao feel?"

"That's it." This shop only needs 600 taels of silver. After completing the formalities, Yao Yu went to Qianheju, replaced all the tables and chairs in the shop with new ones, made a plaque, and then went to order. Some special kraft paper was used to pack the roast duck, and then returned to the village after busy work.

Yao Shi earlier, Yao Yu planned to let Aunt Wu, Wang Fengzhen, Luo Shi and Yang Lan be in charge, and now the four of them cooperate quite tacitly, even if Yao Yu is not around, everything can be sold out smoothly every day.

Yao Yu explained to every customer that he wanted to order a piece of skin duck alone, and even hung a notice next to the breakfast, so that customers who want a piece of skin duck in the future can go directly to Yao’s piece of skin duck in front of them to buy. .

It only took two days for Yao's Duck Duck to open. Yao Yu had to bring Aunt Jiang to Jiangzhou temporarily to help, while Pei An rolled the dough at home.

Many customers come to eat duck with sliced ​​skin and eat one, pack one, and some even pack several. Sometimes ducks from two ovens can only serve two or three customers, so Yao Yu has to choose to recruit workers again.Yao Yu’s salary was [-] Wen a day for the first three months, and [-] Wen a day after passing the assessment in the first three months, and a reward of [-] Wen at the end of the month. The most important thing was that it was not limited to men and women.

As soon as he saw the salary and the last condition, many people came to ask. Yao Yu went through layers of competitions and finally selected three people. One was Wu Hai, who knew some cooking skills and could help Yao Yu Roast Duck, one named Er Niu, who is good at knives, Yao Yu is mainly in charge of sliced ​​ducks, and the other is called Gou Dan, who is clever, Yao Yu is mainly in charge of ordering customers, by the way, how to eat Roast duck can be regarded as a job like a waiter in the shop.

After there were enough people, Yao Yu felt a lot more relaxed. Now, two shops could run around to help, and Aunt Jiang returned to the village again, helping to make dough and shred green onions every day.

Yao Chang’s dead ducks were finally dealt with within half a month, but at the same time Yao Yu also encountered a problem. These ducks were dealt with, so where would she go to buy them in the future, “Second brother, this is the duck’s money .”

"I don't want it." Yao Chang shook his head, what price these dead ducks can sell, he still can't understand what his sister thinks.

"Second brother, this is really sold, you take it." Yao Yu stuffed the money into Yao Chang's hand, "Do you still raise ducks?"

"Ah?" Yao Chang asked doubtfully.

"All your ducks are sold out. My shop is still short of ducks. What should I do?" Yao Yu sighed.

Yao Chang has not reacted yet.

"No, I'll go to the nearby livestock factory tomorrow to see if I can buy more ducks." Yao Yu said to himself.
