Chapter 288 Why is it called Sky Ladder Duck Palm?

Tianti Duck’s Feet is a dish with a lot of materials. Originally, the fattest wild duck’s feet should be used.

Different from other birds, other game birds love to fly around in the sky when they have nothing to do. They are all fitness experts. It is strange to be fat. The meat is not only firewood, but also fishy. Many diners actually eat Fresh, the taste is not as good as artificially farmed.

So, not everything that is wild is good, the fragrance of wild flowers may be poisonous, and the one who guards the flowers at home is a good man
But wild ducks and wild geese are different. They are born on the water, and the number of natural enemies becomes less and less in modern times. If human beings don't kill them, they can basically reproduce without limit. There are fish and shrimps to eat in the water, and these guys don't like sports. There is a saying about fat ducks, even if they are wild ducks, they are too fat, especially the duck feet are fatter and more delicious than artificially raised ones, which is the reason why they eat live food for a long time.

Zhou Dong's insistence made old fritters like Wang Haibin feel ashamed secretly, so the big white duck Yongyong could only watch his "rival in love" escape from birth very reluctantly,

Fortunately, its 'female duck' was still kept by Wang Haibin. The two ducks immersed in love now look at Zhou Dong with grateful eyes every day.

In the simple and unadorned world view of the two ducks, it was this human being who saved them, and now Yongyong has become Zhou Dong’s loyal dog. It feels particularly refreshing when he licks the young new owner. The young man’s calves are strong and Full of elasticity, Bi Wang Haibin's dry old cold legs don't know how comfortable they are.

Zhou Dong was terrified by the big white duck Yongyong,

This kind of feeling is normal, and whoever is stared at by a duck affectionately all day will go crazy sooner or later. Now I hope that Wang Haibin's "Ladder Duck Feet" will come out soon, leave after eating, and stay away from the food. These two ducks in heat.

The first step in making Tianti duck’s feet is to grow the duck’s feet. The hard skin of the fat duck’s feet must be removed, and then soaked in rice wine. It takes at least 24 hours to soak until it is as thick as a child’s finger before it can be used.

Wang Haibin dismissed the general disciples, leaving only Chen Xinghai, Zhou Dong, and Huai Liang in the back kitchen to demonstrate this step by himself. There is a trick to tearing the hard skin of the duck's feet. The blood was still there, quickly soaked in hot water, opened along the edge of the palm, and tore it in the direction of the duck's toe.

Seeing that Wang Haibin finished handling a duck's paw in at most two or three strokes, Huailiang couldn't help secretly praising him. It would take him a few days of practice to get started with such a technique, which is really not easy.

Zhou Dong just nodded slightly. The legendary vegetable washing skill itself includes the preliminary processing of ingredients, so he can do it more perfectly than Wang Haibin just by taking a look.

What he really cares about is Wang Haibin's timing of soaking duck feet, and the rice wine used for soaking hair.
Lao Wang seems to be very generous, and he doesn't even shy away from watching him and Huai Liang in the back kitchen. When he uses rice wine, he looks unnatural. The speed of pouring the wine is as fast as if he was single for 70 years. He also quickly covered the porcelain basin where the duck feet were soaked with a lid.

Is this old fox very dishonest?
Zhou Dong flicked the porcelain basin with his fingers, and praised: "Good thing, the voice is clear."

Chen Xinghai said proudly: "Of course, I specially ordered this in the Porcelain Capital, the industry of Qingguan Kiln, King Zhou Mian, don't look at the wall thickness of this pot, the tire quality is very delicate,

This pot is filled with stinky tofu for three days, as long as it is washed, it will not leave any smell! "

"According to Master Chen, it is really a good thing.

Zhou Dong smiled and withdrew his hand. His fingers were already stained with a little rice wine spilled by Wang Haibin. He found a time when everyone was not paying attention and put it into his mouth. He secretly analyzed the rice wine with the perfect tasting skill.

"The wine is a ten-year-old Guyue Longshan. It's not rare. What's rare is the few Chinese medicines and honey that are put in this wine. The latter is actually a rare orchid honey?
This kind of honey combines the taste of traditional Chinese medicine without leaving a bitter feeling, and these traditional Chinese medicines remove the earthy smell of duck feet and are good for soaking hair.

Compared with ordinary flowers, orchids are less in number, not to mention waiting for bees to pick them and turn them into honey.

Not to mention that it is difficult to find this kind of honey, even if it is found, the price is probably too expensive, no wonder Wang Haibin seldom cooks this dish, there are not many people who can afford this dish and are worthy of his own help."

Zhou Dong thought to himself, few people have seen orchid honey, let alone bought it, and I am afraid that the organizing committee of the competition will find it difficult to provide it.
But I have legendary vegetable washing skills, and I can handle duck feet well without honey and traditional Chinese medicine, but Lao Huai is very difficult to handle?

Is this considered to be bullying Lao Huai? Forget it, bullying is bullying. Anyway, it's not the first time, just get used to it.

Wang Haibin looked at Zhou Dong and Huai Liangren vigilantly, and said with a smile: "You have also seen that it takes time to soak up the duck's feet, so I'm afraid we won't be able to eat this 'ladder duck's feet' until tomorrow.

It's a pity that you didn't come at the right time. If you had come a few months earlier, when the bamboo shoots had just grown, the taste of this 'Ladder Duck Feet' would have been even better.

Now I can only use the spring bamboo shoots stored in the cellar. Xing Hai, the "Thunder Shoots" from Lao Zheng's side reminded me that they must be delivered tomorrow, and Zhang Ji's groceries are also urged. The Jinhua ham last time was not very good. It's too thin, I want to straighten Huaxia Huazhu's hind legs, and I'll get another one next time, so I don't need to cooperate in the future."

"Wang Haibin is Wang Haibin, and he pays attention to the ingredients, but he is right. The bad thing about this dish is that the spring bamboo shoots are discounted. After all, the bamboo shoots in the cellar are not fresh enough."

On the way back to the Wang's private courtyard, Huai Liang smiled, but he kept it secret, thinking that no one would really know that orchid honey was added to the rice wine soaked in duck feet?Seeing Zhou Dong smiling, he sighed, "Sure enough, I didn't hide it from you. It seems that in this competition between you and me, whoever can find orchid honey will be the final winner?"

Zhou Dong glanced at him with a smile: "You don't really think that you can win me with accessories, do you?"

"Hehe, maybe that's not the case. When it comes to a wide network of connections, you can't compare to me."

Huai Liangren smiled and said: "This time, don't expect me to be generous enough to share this precious auxiliary material with you. Although I am proud Huai Liangren, I never take advantage of other materials. It's different for you. I It took advantage of you."

"As chefs, of course we must pay attention to the ingredients, but the ingredients are not the root, it should be our understanding of a dish. Lao Huai, you have never thought about why this dish is called Tianti Duck Feet?"

"You have to ask. One of the ingredients used in this dish is bamboo shoots. Bamboo also has the meaning of climbing higher and higher, like climbing a ladder to heaven. That's why this dish got its name?"

Zhou Dong shook his head: "It's too far-fetched, I don't think so."
