Was a duck worth it for Shi Tian? Her Tian Ge was probably thinking about Old Zhou's duck.
She rushed all the way from Changsha without even eating, and now she was so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back. Shi Tian must be starving!
Confirming that Shi Tian was the chef, Old Zhou hurried into the house, where the duck was already in the pot. He helped Old Zhou scrub the pot, boiled some water, and tossed the chopped duck into the pot to blanch it first, removing the blood and fishy smell from the meat!
By the time Old Zhou entered the house, the duck was almost ready to be blanched.
"Uncle Zhou, where are your chili peppers? Today I’m going to show you my skills!" Seeing Old Zhou come in, Shi Tian wasted no time and started preparing the side dishes.
"Chili? Dried or fresh? I’ll find some for you!"
"Uncle Zhou, your seasonings are quite abundant! You really know how to enjoy life!"
"What can I say? I just love this flavor!"
A pot of Beer Duck was still cooking, filling the house with a mouthwatering aroma that made Li Ziyu swallow hard.
"Come on, Xiao Yu, taste this meat and see if it’s cooked!" He picked up a piece of meat and placed it in a small bowl, sliding it over to Li Ziyu while Old Zhou paced anxiously around.
"I knew this kid had his eye on my duck! It’s one thing for him to taste it himself, but now he’s dragging a little girl into it too. At this rate, will there be any left for dinner? The plate might be empty before long!"
"It should be about done! Let me grab a plate," he said as he stood in front of Shi Tian, watching the diminishing amount of meat in the pot with frustration.
"Just wait a moment; we need to reduce the sauce over high heat!"
Once the duck was stir-fried perfectly, he brought it to the table just as Li Ziyu entered with two bottles of wine.
"Uncle Zhou, today I need to drink a few glasses with you to make amends. If it weren’t for your duck, we wouldn’t have gotten away without paying at least a hundred bucks if it were someone else!"
He poured a glass for Old Zhou, but before he could finish his sentence, Old Zhou quickly raised his glass for a toast and hurriedly placed two pieces of meat into his own small bowl to taste first and ease his thirst for alcohol.
"No wonder you can run ten shops! Your skills are undeniable! No matter where you open a shop, it’s guaranteed to be successful!"
"You young people should get out more and not let those people online lead you astray! There aren’t that many bad people in this world. Those who make it online are just extreme cases; when too many people see them, they spoil social morals!"
After finishing his words, Old Zhou grabbed another piece of meat and started eating contentedly.
Old Zhou was a local who grew up in Cha Dong. Raising chickens and ducks in this peaceful place, aside from not having saved much for retirement, he lived quite leisurely. The wine was good and the meat fragrant; after three or five cups downed, Old Zhou began to feel a bit tipsy.
Uncle Zhou, when it comes to duck, there are several ways to prepare it here in Hunan. Beer Duck is the most popular method, but there are plenty of local variations that you must have tried!
People in Hunan love to eat duck, with dishes like Blood Duck, Blood Plasma Duck, Kou Shui Ya, and Sauce Duck among the many preparations available. Blood Duck and Blood Plasma Duck are mostly enjoyed by locals, as outsiders often find them hard to get used to. However, Sauce Duck and Kou Shui Ya are quite well-known and widely shared.
Just wait a moment; I’ll go prepare the duck! We’re having dinner here tonight, and we’ll drink to our heart's content! As soon as Shi Tianyi finished speaking, Old Zhou immediately got up, grabbing a cleaver and rushing outside!
