Chapter 738 Two Major Schools of Yanjing Roast Duck! Liu Bo: Dundun, Why Are You Patting My Leg? 【Please Subscribe】

“If there is no roast duck oven in the scenic spot, can we still cook roast duck?”

Shi Wenming really wanted to try the roast duck cooked by his eldest nephew, but several restaurants in the scenic area did not have roast duck ovens specifically used for roast duck.

The construction method of the roast duck stove is relatively complicated, and it is too late to start building it now.

Shen Jiayue thought about the roast duck oven in the store and felt that it was indeed a bit difficult. Just when she was about to ask, Lin Xu said with a smile:

"Roast duck is not as complicated as you think. It can be made in the stainless steel oven used for roasted goose in the kitchen downstairs. In addition, the ground oven used for roasted pig can also be used to cook roasted duck in a stew oven without an open flame."

There are two schools of roast duck, one is hanging oven roast duck and the other is stew oven roast duck.

The roasting methods and stoves of the two schools are different, which can be regarded as two development directions in the roast duck circle.

Let’s talk about the hanging oven first. The duck oven used in the hanging oven roasting method has no door and is generally very tall. It uses fruit wood as fuel and is roasted over an open fire.

During the roasting process, you need to constantly use a long pole to flip the roast duck, and adjust the distance between the roast duck and the flame, so that the color of the roast duck will be consistent while it is mature.

The braised oven method is very similar to Northwest roasted whole lamb and Cantonese roasted pig. The duck is sealed in a hot oven and the residual heat of the oven is used to stew the duck.

The whole process cannot be opened for inspection, and the duck cannot be turned over. The roasting time is controlled based on experience.

The two methods are very different, and the ducks produced are also different.

Because the hanging oven roasted duck is roasted over an open fire, the fat under the skin of the duck has been roasted and the skin and meat are separated, so the duck skin tastes crispy and the duck meat is full of flavor.

The stewed oven roasted duck is relatively sealed and has a higher humidity. The duck tastes more tender, the duck skin is soft and not so crispy. As for the duck breast, it is as noisy as dough, which is very different from the open oven roasted duck.

Both types of roast duck are quite difficult, and both require a lot of experience from the roast duck master.

But relatively speaking, roasting duck in an open oven is more difficult. During the entire roasting process, there can be almost no mistakes. You need to hold the long pole with both hands and constantly turn and move it.

When it is almost done, you have to pick up the duck and bring the duck's crotch close to the flame and sear it repeatedly. This step is called searing in the industry.

In addition to the different cooking methods, the two types of roast duck are also eaten differently.

The hanging oven roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat. When eating, the skin and meat are cut off separately and put on the plate. The skin is dipped in sugar and the meat is dipped in sauce, which gives it a unique taste.

The braised duck skin is even more exciting. When it is served, it will be served with the skin on, and each piece of meat will have a crispy skin.

There is indeed no roast duck oven in the scenic spot, but if you want to eat roast duck, there is no problem. You can even make two kinds of roast duck in the hanging oven.

There are plug-ins, they are so willful.

Shen Guofu couldn't help but swallowed when he heard that both the stew oven and the hanging oven could make roast duck.

He thought for a moment and said with a "I think about everyone" attitude:

"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Since Xiaoxu knows how to do both, let's make them both. It just so happens that our relatives in Yinzhou don't know much about roast duck, so why not give it a try."

Han Shuzhen glanced at her husband helplessly and said such a lot of high-sounding words. I take it you want to eat it, right?

As a native of Beijing and coming from a medical family, Director Han has been eating roast duck since he was a child.

But in the past few years, I have never eaten roast duck cooked in both hanging oven and braised oven, so I am somewhat tempted to try the difference between these two roast ducks.

When Lin Xu saw that his relatives were very interested, he said:

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow...but we have to prepare the duck today to avoid missing time tomorrow."

Old Shen is better at this:

I immediately called Lao Huang and asked him to pick up some live ducks from a breeding farm on the outskirts of Beijing and deliver them to ensure they were fresh enough. "

When making roast duck, you cannot use free-range ducks or water ducks, but the stuffed duck unique to the Beijing area.

The so-called duck feeding is a method in which skilled workers stuff the prepared feed into the duck's esophagus at regular intervals every day for feeding.

Ducks fed this way will hardly eat on their own, hence the term "cramming".

The growth period of stuffed duck is relatively short, and it is usually ready for slaughter in about forty days. The skin of the stuffed duck is white and the meat is tender and tender. It is the best choice for roast duck.

Just when Lao Shen was about to make a call, Chen Meiliang said:

"No need to call, I'll just ask someone to send a few over. Now the breeding farms around the capital have moved here because the cost is too high. A friend of mine nearby is doing this kind of cramming duck breeding exclusively for roast duck restaurants. "

It's nearby, so that's very convenient.

Lin Xu said:

"Second uncle, please have eight ducks delivered tomorrow. Let's cook them together in the oven to see which one tastes better."

"No problem, I'll call you later."

After the meal, the relatives began to pack up the leftovers, packing whatever they liked, and giving the rest to cousin Chun Sheng. He liked to eat folded vegetables and would pack them up and take them away.

Lin Xu came downstairs and divided the remaining roast pig among his relatives, letting each of his relatives take away a piece.

While they were busy, Liu Bo and the others drove to the courtyard. Seeing Lin Xu busy chopping and roasting pigs, they immediately came over:

"What's going on? Are there new dishes?"

Lin Xu said:

"My grandma celebrates her birthday today and specially made a roasted pig. This is the leftovers from the birthday party..."

While talking, he picked up his kitchen knife, quickly chopped up a plate, and handed it to Liu Bo:

"This is a dish from Ginkgo Garden, please try it."

Liu Bo was not polite and said with a smile:

"Then I'll take advantage of the blessing of the birthday girl..."

He took it, but did not eat it directly. Instead, he asked the boy next to him to bring it to the dining table. He returned to the car and took out a delicate box from the trunk. Inside was a piece of gold and rusty brocade.

"Where is the birthday girl? I went on a self-driving trip a few days ago and bought a piece of Yunjin brocade at the Yunjin Brocade Museum. It was just a gift for my grandma to celebrate her birthday."

"Brother Liu, are you too polite?"

"What's the point? If you want to talk about this in your circle of friends, I'll be here early this morning."

Lin Xu led him upstairs. At this moment, the old lady was still in the private room. Some relatives in his hometown were having some conflicts and were asking the old lady for advice.

"Grandma, Liu Bo is here to wish you a happy birthday."

As soon as he came in, Lin Xu shouted, and the voices inside immediately stopped.

The old lady stood up and said with a smile:

"I know this kid. He bought the first roasted whole lamb in the scenic area at that time. From years ago to now, he has taken care of our family's business."

Liu Bo handed over the Yun brocade in his hand:

"I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. This is the brocade I just bought two days ago. It's woven with gold thread. I hope grandma won't dislike it."

Mrs. Lin immediately said:

"You are so kind, kid. I am very happy to be here. No birthday gift is needed."

"That's not okay, you have to accept it."

While they were chatting, Dundun, who was playing with a few children next to him, saw Liu Bo and immediately came over, raised his paw and patted Liu Bo's leg.

This move amused Liu Bo:

"What are you doing? Are you trying to imitate Guo Xiaosi and beat Yao Ming?"

The little guy's interruption made the atmosphere more harmonious.

At this time, Chen Meiliang, who was drinking tea on the side, also chatted with him for a few words. After chatting, he discovered that he was an acquaintance with Liu Bo and his third uncle, and the relationship became closer.

Liu Bo saw what was going on here, so he tasted a longevity peach, so he excused himself that he hadn't tasted the roasted pig yet, stood up and left, preparing to go downstairs for dinner.

When the old lady heard this, she waved her hand and said to Lin Xu:

"Let Xiaobo eat whatever he wants. This kid is smart and makes people like him just by looking at him."

"The kitchen has everything. I will entertain him well."

After leaving the private room, Lin Xu said:

"There's still half a roast goose in the kitchen. How about I serve it to you as well?"

"Hey, that's great. If you have anything else, feel free to come. Last night we sang K until four or five in the morning. We drove over to eat as soon as we woke up. We were already starving."

When he came downstairs, Liu Bo was eager to eat roast pork.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, chopped up the roast goose and served it with a plate of sour plum sauce. He also tore up a roast chicken and asked the waiter to bring it over.

Then a portion of braised red pork elbow, a portion of steamed pork with dried vegetables, as well as steamed dishes such as pearl meatballs, steamed beef with rice flour, candied yam and other steamed dishes were brought out from the steamer.

I also made braised fish offal with soy sauce and stir-fried mountain bamboo shoots, prepared a table of dishes for Liu Bo, and informed him by the way:

"I will cook roast duck here tomorrow, you can come and try it."

Liu Bo became interested:

"What kind of roast duck? One from Bianyifang or one from Quanjude?"

Bianyifang is a braised oven roast duck, and Quanjude is a hanging oven roast duck. The two stores are representatives of two schools of roast duck. However, relatively speaking, Quanjude's reputation has been on a downward curve and is not as stable as Bianyifang.

"Both, I will explore both approaches."

These words directly aroused Liu Bo's curiosity:

"As expected of Boss Lin, he has mastered both methods, awesome! Even if I break my leg tomorrow, I will come here in a wheelchair."

"What unlucky words are you saying at this noon?"

As Lin Xuzheng was talking, he suddenly remembered Dundun's action of patting Liu Bo's knee just now.

Damn, something is really going to happen to this guy, right?

He said to Liu Bo:

"There are many stalls on the road in front of the scenic spot, and there are also many people from out of town driving. Please be careful when driving, and don't rush for food... There will be eight ducks tomorrow, which will definitely be enough to eat."

Lin Xu was not sure whether Dundun patted his knee intentionally or unintentionally.

And there is no explanation for this. I can only remind Liu Bo to pay attention to safety.

"Don't worry, I'm a veteran driver. I can touch the roads in Yinzhou with my eyes closed."

Lin Xu chatted with him for a few words and then went to the kitchen to work.

There was a lot of fish leftover today. Even if I made a portion for Liu Bo and the others, there would still be a full pot left.

"Will these fish offal be cooked in the evening, or will they be sold now?"

Normally, I would definitely leave it to eat by myself, but today I just killed two fat pigs, and the pigs were enough to eat for a while, so I didn't even bother to eat the fish offal.

Shi Wenming said:

"Pick out some fish roe, fry it and keep it for eating. Sell the rest. I'll have someone hang the blackboard at the door. If anyone buys it, I'll sell it. If no one buys it, I'll keep it for myself."

Fish offal is not a common ingredient. In the Central Plains area, except for some Xinyang restaurants, it is difficult to find it in other restaurants.

So not long after the sign was put up, the pot of fish offal was sold out.

On the other side, Chen Yan and Shen Jiayue returned to the Cliff Hotel after lunch, took out their laptops, took out the memory card in the camera, connected it to the computer with a card reader, and copied all the video materials.

Then open the video editing software and start editing the video.

There is a lot of video material today, covering the entire process of killing pigs.

Shen Jiayue took a rough look at it first, then aligned the timeline, selected different camera angles, and started editing.

Chen Yan was sitting next to her, holding a bag of melon seeds. She originally wanted to give her cousin some pointers on her editing skills, but after she started, she realized that she was the one who needed extra lessons.

Shen Jiayue's editing speed is very fast, the various transitions are set up very cleverly, and some empty shots are inserted at the right time. For those who don't know, they might think that they are the editor of a big-budget movie.

"When did you learn editing? Isn't this technique too skillful?"

Chen Yan had seen Lin Xu edit, and the whole process seemed to be flowing smoothly. She thought that her cousin's previous video was also edited by Lin Xu, but she was mistaken.

This girl's video editing skills are no less than her brother-in-law's.

Tsk tsk tsk, have you two been making up various lessons in private?

Shen Jiayue glanced at Chen Yan:

"Why do you look so curious? Have you never seen an editor as beautiful as me?"

"I've never seen someone with such good skills... When did you learn editing? Don't tell me you secretly signed up for an editing class online. I've tried it, but they're all scammers."

Shen Jiayue pinched the melon seeds in her bag, took a bite, and said proudly:

"Who in the right mind would believe that kind of propaganda? I have a blessed soul. After editing a few times, I suddenly felt better. Maybe this is God's reward. I am also very distressed."

Chen Yan: "..."

To say that you are fat and out of breath, God must have thought that you were hopeless, so he put on a patch to make up for it... After all, you have big breasts and no brains.

She thought the film would take two days to edit, but within five o'clock, the entire film was not only edited, but also had subtitles and BGM. As long as the opening and ending credits were added, the video could be generated and uploaded.

But at this time, Chen Yan was in trouble.

This kind of long documentary is not in line with Lin Xu's food style. Pig killing itself is quite bloody, and it is not suitable for a cousin who is full of cute fans.

As for other accounts, there is nothing similar.

After thinking for a while she said:

"How about creating a new account specifically for posting feature films?"

"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say."

Shen Jiayue has no objection to this matter. Now she just wants to see how netizens will react when they see the finished film, which lasts for more than an hour.

Those netizens who always say something short every time they post a video will go crazy with joy, right?

As for the name of the new account, Chen Yan felt that she had chosen a useless name, so she gave it to Shen Jiayue:

"You come up with the name and I'll register it."

This request is naturally not difficult for Shen Jiayue.

She tilted her head and thought about it, and immediately had an idea:

"Let's call it [Boss Lin's life long video]. It's simple and easy to remember, and it can also catch the popularity of Xu Bao, which will help attract fans in the early stage."

Chen Yan thinks the name is too childish, but it has quite a personality.

Without good advice, she had no choice but to agree.

Soon, the account was successfully registered, the information was improved, and the accounts of Lin Xu, Shen Jiayue and others were set up as linked accounts.

After finishing these tasks, Shen Jiayue also added the opening and ending of the video.

The two of them browsed it quickly to confirm that there was no problem, clicked the export button, set the format, and the computer began to generate the video.

When he was about to recover, Lin Xu called:

"We're ready for dinner, why haven't you come yet?"

"The video is being generated, it will be ready soon."

After waiting for a short while, the video generation was completed. Shen Jiayue immediately chose to upload it and picked a more attractive title:

"Don't be greedy: Grandma will celebrate her 70th birthday and go back to her hometown to kill a pig for a birthday feast!"

This kind of video is slow to upload and even slower to review, so after completing this step, the sisters locked the door directly and drove to the farmer's restaurant without waiting any longer.

When I arrived, I saw a table of dishes already prepared in the restaurant.

The two of them washed their hands, sat down, and began to enjoy the delicious food.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when the sun set over the mountain, the long video finally passed the review and was updated to the dynamic list.

However, this is a new account with no fans and no updates, so after the video was released, there was no scene of netizens flocking to it.

Half an hour later, the playback volume is still in single digits.

Under normal circumstances, the videos of this new account will be specially set up for joint creation, using large and small accounts for linkage to quickly increase fans.

Even if joint creation is not set up, a large number will be used to repost the update after it is updated, calling on fans to like and follow.

But now half an hour has passed, and there is no response from Lin Xu's account, and other accounts have not followed up on the promotion. Even the platform review is a bit confused.

You are so active in uploading videos, why do you promote such Buddha nature?

Without saying a word, she forwarded the video to Lin Ji’s food topic:

"Report! I found a new account that Boss Lin secretly created. Now all the followers are old fans. Brothers, hurry up and follow me secretly to scare Boss Lin to tears!"

Well, although we are auditors, we are also standard Lin Ji girls.

As for why we call everyone brothers... well, surfing the Internet, in order to prevent being harassed, the best way is to pretend to be big brothers.

As soon as it was forwarded, netizens’ emotions were aroused:

"What? Boss Lin secretly built a small account?"

"You are not planning to bring goods, are you? Boss Lin is finally going to take the path of monetizing traffic?"

"The account name is Boss Lin's Life Long Video, and the video uploaded is also a 70-minute long video. It has nothing to do with selling goods."

"It's a bit of a documentary style. Never mind, I'll do it three times first as a courtesy."

"I have followed it and left a message to the UP owner, asking him, a first-level account, to remember to follow me. After all, we are a fifth-level boss."

'"Haha, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Hurry up and bully the first-level cutie."

"Look at the title of the video: Grandma Lin celebrates her birthday, I wish Grandma Lin a long life!"

Soon, netizens flocked to the video, and the number of fans quickly soared from single digits to thousands, and then quickly exceeded 10,000, while the number of views of the video was also rising rapidly.

At the same time, Liu Bo, who had been playing at the racecourse all afternoon, drove away from the scenic spot with a few followers, preparing to return to the city to find a place to have fun.

When he was approaching the city, he turned onto a national highway and prepared to take a shortcut into the city.

It was the evening rush hour, and countless large trucks were rumbling on the road.

Liu Bo yawned and was about to complain about how these large trucks were becoming more and more domineering on the road when a large truck coming from the opposite direction suddenly lost control and rushed towards his car...

"What the hell, what's going on?"

Liu Bo turned the steering wheel fiercely, intending to avoid it, but a large truck in the lane next to him was accelerating, blocking Liu Bo's direction.

"I'll go, I'm not really going to break my leg, am I?"
