Delivering meat.

In the course of the ready course of, Cheng Yun put the rice within the pot. He was decided to cook dinner a scrumptious meal at present and was beneficiant with the quantity of rice, wanting to ensure Yang Hongjin was happy.

After that, he adopted Aunt Wang’s directions and grabbed a handful of salt from the jar of duck blood, stirred it evenly, and positioned it within the nook. He took a bigger bowl and crammed it with sizzling water, then positioned the jar of duck blood inside to let it sit.

He didn’t actually perceive the precept behind this, considering that this technique was surprisingly easy. He couldn’t assist however consider when he used to exit to eat sizzling pot and a plate of duck blood would price ten yuan or much less, however would price two to a few occasions that at a restaurant. It was actually an enormous revenue.

The aroma from the kitchen grew stronger and stronger. Although Cheng Yun informed Yang Hongjin to attend outdoors, he refused and adopted Cheng Yun round, staring on the range. Cheng Yun couldn’t do something about it, so he gave him a small job to do. “Go wash the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the desk. When the rice is prepared, put it within the bowls.”

Yang Hongjin started working shortly and thoroughly, by no means being lazy or careless. By the point he had completed, the rice was virtually prepared.

Cheng Yun estimated the time and lifted the lid of the pot, and the sauce had grow to be thick. The duck meat had turned a darkish purple colour that made one’s mouth water. He scooped 5 bowls of duck meat onto a plate and fried some greens with the leftover sauce within the pot.

He referred to as for Yang Hongjin to return in and switch off the range, however that man’s eyes have been instantly drawn to the duck meat within the pot. Cheng Yun discovered it humorous and playfully scolded him, “Hurry up and switch off the range, and when the rice is prepared, carry it out.”

Yang Hongjin nodded foolishly and turned off the range. When he introduced out the rice, Cheng Yun had already positioned all of the dishes on the desk. He gave them every a big bowl of white rice and introduced, “Okay, let’s eat!”

He picked up a big piece of duck meat for Yang Hongjin, urging him to attempt it. Yang Hongjin swallowed his saliva and shortly ate it, exclaiming, “It’s scrumptious!” However Cheng Yun helplessly discovered that his opinion wasn’t very dependable as he didn’t have a lot reference worth.

He picked up a chunk himself and tried it. The aroma of the sauce unfold in his mouth as quickly as he took a chew. The mixture of sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce fashioned an ideal steadiness, candy and bitter and appetizing. Unexpectedly, utilizing rice wine added a delicate perfume to the dish, and after chewing for some time, a faint rice perfume appeared.

The duck had not been stewed for lengthy within the pot, however the warmth was good, making the meat not too smooth or too arduous. Nonetheless, Cheng Yun most popular to eat meat that had been stewed till it was half-tender. It felt prefer it melted in your mouth and left a long-lasting aftertaste.

After making this dish for the primary time and reaching such a stage of success, Cheng Yun was fairly happy with himself. He thought for a second, then picked up two items of meat and put them in Yang Hongjin’s bowl, asking him to attempt it first. He then went to the kitchen and obtained a clear new bowl, picked up three or 4 items of meat, and went to the neighboring Aunt Wang’s home.

Aunt Wang’s husband, Wang Dalang, had simply come again from the sector and was smoking on the door. He noticed Cheng Yun smiling and nodding at him. Aunt Wang had simply completed cooking and greeted him warmly as he entered. “Cheng-Ge’er, have you ever eaten but? We simply completed cooking. For those who haven’t eaten but, let Hongjin come over and eat with us.”

Cheng Yun shook his head with a smile. “We’ve completed cooking too.”

He handed the bowl to Aunt Wang and mentioned, “Right here, have a look. That is the duck Xiao-er helped slaughter this afternoon. I messed round with it a bit and located it to be fairly scrumptious. I need you to attempt it and provides me your opinion.”

Aunt Wang seemed shocked as she took the bowl and noticed that the duck was nonetheless steaming sizzling, with its perfume wafting within the air. Even Wang Liang couldn’t assist leaning over to have a look.

“This duck is so superbly made,” Aunt Wang mentioned as she handed the bowl again to Cheng Yun. “It’s a superb factor. You are taking it again and eat it. We now have meat to eat right here, so don’t waste it.”

Cheng Yun pushed the bowl again, refusing to take it. He thought for a second and determined to not disguise his intentions from Aunt Wang. “I used to be considering that if this duck was scrumptious, I might take it to the restaurant on the town and take a look at my luck. Peculiar households don’t make this dish actually because it’s too costly, however it’s totally different for the rich households on the town. They don’t lack cash, however they do lack contemporary and new issues.”

Aunt Wang contemplated for a second and muttered, “That is smart.”

She all of a sudden slapped her brow and mentioned, “Oh, Cheng-Ge’er, take this bowl of duck to Physician Liu subsequent door to the village chief’s home. His son runs a restaurant on the town, the one close to the south gate. Physician Liu likes to drink, and this duck is ideal with it!”

Cheng Yun’s eyes lit up. He thought this was a shortcut. He was nonetheless fascinated with the right way to open this door, after which Aunt Wang gave him such excellent news. Being a superb individual actually pays off. If he hadn’t been considering of repaying Aunt Wang, he wouldn’t have obtained such info.

However he didn’t take the bowl of duck again. After a lot persuasion, he lastly managed to get Aunt Wang to just accept the meals. He then hurried again residence and crammed two bowls with new meat. Every bowl had two or three items of meat. It didn’t appear like a lot, however it was already good to have meat to eat throughout this time.

Yang Hongjin noticed him coming and going and didn’t even trouble to eat the scrumptious meals. He stood up and referred to as Cheng Yun “spouse” a couple of occasions, however Cheng Yun was too preoccupied along with his ideas of the 5-Cup Duck. He had no time to take care of him and requested him to remain residence and eat by himself.

Seeing that Cheng Yun was about to exit once more, it was most likely as a result of up to now few days, Cheng Yun had been in such a superb temper in the direction of him and had been making him scrumptious meals to eat, that Yang Hongjin had misplaced his earlier cautiousness. Simply as Cheng Yun was about to step out of the home, Yang Hongjin hugged him from behind and mentioned pitifully, “Spouse, let’s eat.”

Cheng Yun was shocked for a second, and his face turned somewhat purple after he reacted. He used to love males, however had by no means been near any of them. Subconsciously, he had stored his distance from others.

Since coming right here, though he reluctantly accepted the truth that he had a ‘husband’, this husband was foolish and being with him was much more like caring for a baby. It wasn’t till this second, when the 2 of them have been pressed shut collectively, and Yang Hongjin’s sturdy arms trapped him in his embrace, that Cheng Yun realized that this husband was an actual, bodily mature man.

He tried to suppress his pounding coronary heart and patted Yang Hongjin’s hand, circled and touched his head, saying, “Be obedient and anticipate me at residence. I’m going to present one thing to Physician Liu, and I’ll be again quickly.”

Unexpectedly, the often obedient Yang Hongjin all of a sudden grew to become cussed, grabbing Cheng Yun’s hand and never letting him go. “Spouse, let’s eat.”

Cheng Yun repeated his phrases patiently, after which thought for a second. With a purple face, he stood on his tiptoes and shortly kissed Yang Hongjin’s brow, pinched his face, and mentioned, “You shortly return to eat, and anticipate me. For those who behave properly, I’ll come again early.”

Yang Hongjin was fully shocked, touching his brow. Cheng Yun took benefit of this second to slide away, and after strolling for some time, he discovered that his cheeks have been nonetheless highly regarded.

Physician Liu’s home was not distant, however Cheng Yun nonetheless went to the village chief’s home first.

Peculiar individuals not often go to another person’s home throughout mealtime, so when the village chief’s spouse opened the door, her expression wasn’t superb.

Cheng Yun pretended to not discover her expression and mentioned hiya earlier than asking to see the village chief.

The village chief’s spouse was not completely happy and mentioned, “The village chief is having his meal. Do you will have pressing enterprise?”

Cheng Yun raised the bowl in his hand and mentioned, “We simply slaughtered a duck at residence, and I’m afraid it should spoil if we preserve it for too lengthy on this sizzling climate. I introduced some for the village chief to attempt.”

When the village chief’s spouse came upon that Cheng Yun had come to ship meat, her expression modified many times. She smiled awkwardly and welcomed him in.

“Cheng-Ge’er? What’s up?” Cheng Yun had some status within the village, however not for something good. It was well-known that he had a pale purple dot below his ear, and that he had married Yang Hongjin, the idiot of the Yang household.

Cheng Yun pretended to not see the expressions on everybody’s faces and smiled, handing out one of many bowls of meat and saying, “We simply slaughtered a duck at residence, and I’m afraid it should spoil if we preserve it for too lengthy on this sizzling climate. I introduced some so that you can attempt.”

The village chief was much more shocked when he heard it. Who could be beneficiant sufficient to ship meat to another person’s residence as of late, not to mention from Cheng-Ge’er’s household? Everybody is aware of that he and Yang Hongjin are a match made by their households as a result of they’re each low of their households. When did they’ve the means to ship meat to others?

Nonetheless, Cheng-Ge’er nonetheless held the 2 bowls in his arms, and the odor was actually aromatic…

Certain sufficient, the following sentence Cheng Yun mentioned was, “Our Hongjin makes no sense. If one thing occurs sooner or later, we might want to ask the village chief for assist.”

The village chief was relieved when he heard this. Cheng was attempting to ascertain a relationship with him. He had not had a lot dealings with this Cheng earlier than, and he had solely heard about their household scenario from the villagers. He didn’t count on that he was additionally somebody who understood the methods of the world.

The duck within the bowl seemed too tempting, and the village chief was initially well mannered and declined, however when he was glared at by his spouse standing beside him, he obediently accepted it and politely mentioned, “Has Cheng-Ge’er eaten? If not, please sit down and eat collectively.”

Cheng Yun pretended to not see the glare from the village chief’s spouse and raised the opposite bowl, saying, “Please have some. I nonetheless have to go and ship some duck meat to Physician Liu. Hongjin remains to be ready for me at residence.”

“After all, in fact,” the village chief stood up and noticed Cheng off to the door. As quickly as Cheng left, he hurriedly went again to his room and couldn’t assist however decide up a chunk of duck meat and put it in his mouth.

“It’s so aromatic!” The village chief indulged within the taste, however when he lowered his head, he noticed that there was just one piece of meat left within the bowl with three items initially. He shortly took the bowl again and, for a uncommon second, mentioned impolitely to his spouse, “That is Cheng-Ge’er’s filial piety to me. Go, go, go, pour me a glass of wine.”

The village chief’s spouse “hummed” at him, however she additionally ate the meat and tasted the scrumptious duck meat. She thought in her coronary heart that Cheng was actually wasteful. She didn’t understand how a lot seasoning he used to cook dinner the duck, and he even despatched meat to others. Can they nonetheless afford to dwell like this?
