Your fiancee ran away with someone again

The matter of Mu Qiu's disappearance didn't make much noise in the Mu State's mansion. Qi Zhan found someone to keep an eye on the Mu State's mansion, and learned that although he sent his servants to look for Mu Qiu, they didn't search for Mu Qiu with all his heart. It's like going through the motions.

Mu Guogong's mansion did not report to the officials and did not come to Mu Ting. It can be seen that Mu Guogong really doesn't care about this son.

When the appointed time came, Mu Qiu was wrapped in a sack and thrown at the gate of Mu Guogong's mansion in the middle of the night, and then news spread that Mu Qiu had gone crazy the next day.

It can be regarded as the achievement of the goal, Mu Ting thought that Qi Zhan's little friends helped a lot, so he planned to invite them to eat delicious food - roast duck!

Roast duck is not a fresh food. Many restaurants sell it. Like roast chicken, it is considered a traditional food.

But what Mu Ting wanted to invite them to eat was Peking duck. Peking duck was divided into hanging oven roast duck and stewed oven roast duck. What Mu Ting wanted was the hanging oven roast duck.

There is no need to disembowel the duck for hanging oven roast duck, just open a small hole to take out its internal organs, fill the duck belly with boiling water, sew the hole, hang it on a special fireplace and roast it slowly with pear wood and jujube wood.

Mu Ting thought of getting a fireplace to make roast duck when he was customizing the grill, and he did it in a room behind the restaurant. He didn't intend to sell roast duck to compete with others, he only planned to cook it for his family, relatives and friends .

Not long after the stove had dried, Mu Ting tried the fire and thought it would work, so this morning he asked someone to buy a dozen or so ducks, and prepared to roast them all. When Qi Zhan and the others came back from school at night, they would call the Qi family. The Zhou family ate together.

There are so many people, I am not afraid of not being able to finish eating.

At noon, Qingsong took food from the restaurant to deliver to Qi Zhan and his group, and told him the good news. The group was so excited that they wished they could skip class to eat on the spot.

However, this is unrealistic. It is very likely that not only will there be no food at noon, but also no food at night.

Then their eyes fell on the food box, and Toast took the first to take the food box and opened it to see. The aroma was blowing to the face, very tempting. Normally they would have been hungry, but today's rare taste is a bit too much, after all Eating too much at noon can easily affect the combat effectiveness at night.

Several people looked at each other, and then someone suggested, "It's better to ask a few more people to share a share, we only need to eat [-]% full."

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, they sent Qingsong away and started to find someone to share the food.

Mu Ting not only asked Qingsong to notify Qi Zhan and the others, but also asked him to go back to Qi's house and told his family that everyone in the Qi family chose the same approach as Qi Zhan and the others, eat less at noon and save their stomachs for evening .

Mu Ting didn't know what everyone was thinking. He handled the ducks early in the morning and hung them up to dry. On the way, he went to see a steward named Zhang introduced by the housekeeper. The housekeeper was very reliable, and the person he introduced It's not bad, one mouthful is the lake, Mu Ting talked with him for a while and thought it was not bad, so he planned to keep him for a trial for two months.

After the interview with the manager, Mu Ting asked Qingbai again, Qingbai was silent for a while and proposed to be an apprentice to Zhang Guanshi for a period of time.

Mu Ting agreed, but whether Guanshi Zhang is willing to accept him as an apprentice depends on Qingbai's own ability, and he will not intervene.

The master-student relationship in ancient times was not much worse than that of parents, and accepting apprentices and apprentices is not something that can be achieved casually.

The management has settled down for the time being, Mu Ting is in a good mood, and started preparing the side dishes for roast duck after lunch.

Make a pot of sweet noodle sauce first, regardless of the shelf life, the simple sweet noodle sauce is easy to make, just add flour, soy sauce and fine sugar to boil in water until it becomes thick.

After making the sweet noodle sauce, Mu Ting started to make lotus leaf cakes again. The characteristics of lotus leaf cakes are that the cakes are as thin as paper, soft and white, chewy and elastic, and have a faint sweet taste. With flavor.

The awakened noodles are cut into small doses, then rolled into thin and round dough, and steamed in a steamer.

The method is also very simple, the most difficult thing is the amount, the more people, the larger the amount, and Mu Ting spent almost the whole afternoon in the kitchen.

Now there are not enough cooks. The chefs in the restaurant have never stopped cooking for the restaurant guests every day. It is not good for Mu Ting to increase the workload of the people. Moreover, the taste of other people's cooking is always a little bit worse. It is the first time to do it. For the food, Mu Ting hopes that everyone will have the most delicious food.

After two hills of lotus leaf cakes were piled up, Mu Ting began to slice onions, carrots, and cucumbers. These vegetables were grown in the hot spring village, and only wealthy families could eat them at this time.

When the side dishes were ready, Mu Ting counted the time and began to take out the dried duck, poured hot water into it, sewed the hole, and put it in the oven to roast.

Depending on the season, the weight of the duck is different, and the roasting time is also different.

It is still spring, and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot. The ducks selected by the ducks are about five catties, and it takes almost the effort to roast three cups of tea.

It was also the first time for Mu Ting to use this stove, and he was afraid of failure, so he put two in first, intending to see the effect after roasting.

A really delicious roast duck must be round and plump in shape, maroon in color, crispy in skin, charred on the outside and tender in the inside, with a fragrance of fruit and wood. Use a razor blade to peel off the duck skin, and it will be crispy with one bite, like duck meat. The fat has not fallen off, and the fat bursts out when it is eaten into the mouth. It is a little oily but not greasy, and it is just right when it is wrapped with side dishes.

Mu Ting has been guarding in front of the stove, counting the time and waiting.

The Qi family and Zhou family, who were active in eating, had already arrived ahead of time. There was nothing they could do to help Mu Ting, so they sat in the yard and chatted about the incident when they saw someone jumping into the river on the road.

From Qi's house to Mu Ting's restaurant, there is a bridge in the middle. For those who watched the excitement and set off the river lanterns.

When they passed by today, they saw the bridge was full of people, a young girl stood on the pillar of the stone bridge, she closed her eyes and looked at a lifeless look, the people around her were telling her not to think about it, but the girl Turning around, he smiled sadly, and then jumped down resolutely.

Mother Qi and the others came to the restaurant on foot. When the girl turned her head, Mother Qi saw her face clearly, and she recognized her.

It was the girl from the Sun family who wanted to ask Qi Zhan to marry him, Sun Li.

People jumped into the river, and those who knew water jumped down to catch people. Mother Qi and the others stayed for a while, and saw that Sun Li was rescued. There are several red marks on the small part of the arm, which is shocking to see.

Qi's mother called two maids to help her block it, and then sent him to the hospital.

Qi's mother felt a little bit embarrassed, these people actually forced a girl who was as beautiful as a flower into a corner to commit suicide, it is really unfortunate to be born in such a family.

Qi's mother was just finishing talking to the Zhou family about Sun Li's relationship with the Qi family. She called the two maids who had sent Sun Li to the medical center back, and the two maids looked sympathetic.

Qi's mother asked, "What happened?"

The servant girl said: "The young lady of the Sun family is covered with wounds all over her body. Not only was she beaten with a whip and club, she was even branded on her body."

The servant girl couldn't bear her tone, she leaned close to Qi's mother's ear and lowered her voice, "It's a cheap word."

"Ms. Sun was very emotional after waking up, crying and wanting to die, saying that she would be better off dead than alive."

Qi's mother was also stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that someone would be so cruel to insult a woman with such low-level tricks.

Mother Qi asked, "Who did she marry to engrave it?"

The servant girl nodded, "Miss Sun's servant girl also came later, I asked her about it, and the servant girl said that the Sun family doesn't care about her, Mr. Sun said that the husband's family can discipline the water thrown out by the married daughter."

Mother Qi sighed, what a crime.

Qi Zhan's grandfather also shook his head, "I didn't have a good pregnancy, and I met a pair of parents who are not things. That girl is also a hard-fought."

They sighed like this, Qi Zhan also left school, and rushed in with his little friends, he was relieved when he saw that the banquet had not yet started, for fear that he would be late.

Qi Zhan went up to call for someone, but didn't see Mu Ting, so he immediately called his name to look for him.

Mu Ting answered in the room, and the two roasted ducks were out of the oven, and he was tasting the meat.

Qi Zhan immediately looked for it, and smelled the fragrance when he entered the door, so he asked Mu Ting, "Ting Ting, can I eat now?"

Mu Ting put Sai Qizhan, who had just sliced ​​the duck skin and was still steaming, into his mouth, "This is for trial roasting, you should taste it first, and you have to wait for the official meal."

Qi Zhan bit down the crispy duck skin with his teeth, and nodded while eating, "Tingting, it's delicious, it smells so good, it tastes like fruit, and it tastes sweet, um, it's a bit salty, I'd rather eat it." I want another piece."

After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and waited for Mutin to feed him.

Mu Ting rolled him a duck roll with lotus leaf cake and fed it to his mouth, "Try this combination."

Mu Ting has also tasted it himself, and the taste is good, but the heat is a little lacking, and the baking time can be extended.

The two ducks were not taken out at the same time, and Mu Ting felt that the taste of the latter one was much better.

Qi Zhan ate with relish, and thought it was delicious. Seeing that Mu Ting was busy slicing the duck, he wrapped it himself.

Mu Ting instructed him to bring things out, "Take it out first to grandma and the others to taste, and then wait for a stick of incense to set the table for dinner."

Qi Zhan stuffed a wrapped roast duck roll into Mu Ting's mouth, and stuffed himself with two mouthfuls of duck meat, "I think it's delicious without dipping anything, but it's more delicious when wrapped, and I like it too." , anyway, everything Tingting cooks is delicious."

Qi Zhan walked out with a plate, and when he got to the door, he remembered to ask Mu Ting what the food was called.

Mu Ting smiled and said, "This is the only roast duck in the oven."

"Well," Qi Zhan shouted as he walked out, "Here comes the roast duck~"

His good brothers have always been active in eating. They immediately ran to Qi Zhan to pick up the plate, and ran directly into the house. Did Mu Ting have anything else to serve? A group of people brought all the roast duck and side dishes outside in the blink of an eye. It's on the table.

Qi Zhan explained to them the reason why there are only two plates of duck meat, and demonstrated how to eat the next roll of duck meat. The foodies are quick-witted and dexterous at the moment, and they can roll it up as soon as they get started.

After eating it, they were also amazed. Of course they had eaten the roast duck, but the taste was completely incomparable. "This roast duck is too delicious, especially the duck skin. I ate it today made by Qi San's wife. Roast duck, I think those were all eaten for nothing in the past.”

Qi Zhan raised his chest proudly, that's right, his wife's cooking must be delicious.

I didn’t eat enough at noon, and I’m so hungry right now. There are so many people, two plates of duck meat are stuffed between my teeth, and the gluttons in my stomach are hooked up. Everyone is staring at Mu Ting’s roast duck room, eager to see through.

Qi Zhan sat next to his mother and asked what they were talking about before. When he entered the door, he heard his mother say who committed the crime, and Qi Zhan said to his mother, "Don't you say that stupid bastard Mu Qiu, he deserves it! , not pitiful at all."

Mother Qi glanced at him, "Whoever said him, we are talking about Sun Li."

Qi's mother told him about Sun Li, and Qi Zhan ran to find Mu Ting immediately after hearing it, and then repeated Qi's mother's words.

After listening to Mu Ting, he didn't know what to say for a while. There is some sympathy and pity. Although Sun Li had thought that he shouldn't have it before, he shouldn't be treated like this.

Qi Zhan scolded: "Her father and that old bastard who beat her are both beasts!"

"If it were me, I would never commit suicide. I would definitely eunuch that old bastard first and then kill him, bullying girls!"

Seeing Qi Zhan's indignant expression, Mu Ting asked him, "Do you want to help her?"

Qi Zhan was a little hesitant, "I'm not related to her, and I rejected her before, will she think I'm hypocritical now?"

Besides, Sun Li couldn't stand up by himself, Qi Zhan felt that it was useless to help him, he could never help Sun Li for the rest of his life, and he was nothing like her.

Mu Ting said: "There are many ways, it doesn't have to show up, just don't let her know it's you, anyway, you don't want her to reciprocate."

Qi Zhan nodded, that's true, he just felt that the beast who insulted the girl at will deserved to die, and wanted him to get retribution.

"I think if Sun Li could use the courage she had to say she wanted to marry me to fight against her parents or that old thing, maybe she wouldn't be like this."

He could even beg him to marry her regardless of his reputation and face, what else could he not do.

Mu Ting said: "Everyone thinks differently." Moreover, women are too constrained in this era. Parents are heaven and can control their children. The education Sun Li received since childhood is to marry a man to rely on, so she wants to ask other men to save her. She would rather commit suicide by jumping into the river than do anything else.

"Forget it, I'll treat her as a good person. I'll ask someone to send her a letter and give her some silver. What happens after that is up to her."

Sun Li has settled their grievances with them, and it is impossible for them to be responsible to Sun Li, so just do what they can.

"Okay," Mu Ting nodded, "Then go back and write. You first ask Qingsong to find out where Sun Liren is, and then find a chance tomorrow to deliver the letter quietly."

"Well," Qi Zhan rushed over to ask Mu Ting to carry him. He was in a bad mood, so he acted like a baby with Mu Ting.

Mu Ting also turned to him and said coquettishly, "I've been busy all day today, I'm so tired."

Qi Zhan immediately jumped off Mu Ting's back, then squatted in front of Mu Ting, "Then I'll carry you."

"I don't feel tired when I carry it on my back."
