Killing a duck is easy, but removing its feathers is a technical job.
Before removing the feathers, soak the killed duck in hot water. The water temperature is the key.
When the water temperature is high, the duck skin will be torn into pieces when it sheds its fur, which is very ugly.
When the water temperature is low, the duck feathers cannot be pulled out, especially the fine hairs on the duck skin, which are really difficult to pull out. If it were the original time and space, 17-year-old Xu Tongdao would definitely not be able to control the water temperature.
Not only him, but also his sister Ge Yuzhu and his brother Xu Tonglu could not master it.
But now...
Throwing the killed duck on the open space outside the kitchen, he asked his sister to go to the stove to light the fire and boil the water. He went to the main room to get a wooden basin for washing feet. After washing it, he poured two ladles of cold water in it.
in.
After the water in the pot boils, he scoops a few ladles of boiling water into the wooden basin, reaches in and tests the water temperature, scoops another ladle of hot water and mixes it in, and then tests the water temperature again. After doing this several times, he
So he went to take the long-dead duck on the ground into a wooden basin, and scalded it several times in the hot water in the basin.
When he started to scald the duck, his younger brother Xu Tonglu also had a good meal and came out of the main room to watch him busy.
His sister Ge Yuzhu squatted next to him, blinked and looked at it, and asked worriedly: "Brother, you didn't put salt in the hot water, did you? I remember that my mother used to put salt in the duck every time, otherwise the hair would not be pulled out.
Clean..."
"Need not!"
Tongdao Xu answered casually, holding the duck's foot with one hand, and quickly pushing the rough hair on the duck's wing with his right hand. As he pushed it with his right hand, bunches of rough hair slipped off easily.
But the water was quite hot, and his 17-year-old fingers couldn't bear it, so he turned to his sister and said, "Go get me a ladle of cold water!"
"Oh, oh! The water temperature is too high, right? I'll go right away!"
Ge Yuzhu immediately got up and went to scoop water from the water tank.
Before she came back from scooping up water, Comrade Xu, who was still pushing the rough hair on the duck's wings, ordered again: "Don't pour the cold water into the basin, just put it in my hand!"
"Ah? Oh, oh."
Ge Yuzhu was a little confused, but still responded obediently.
Soon she put a ladle of cold water in Xu Tongdao's hand.
Comrade Xu quickly dipped his right hand into the cold water, and then continued to push the duck feathers.
…
Because the water temperature was just right, it didn't take long for him to remove all the duck feathers, no matter how big or small.
"Bring me the scissors!"
He ordered again.
My sister Ge Yuzhu agreed, quickly got up and ran into the main room to find the scissors.
When she brought the scissors and handed them to Xu Tongdao, she saw that Xu Tongdao skillfully used the scissors to disembowel the duck, including its gizzards, intestines, etc. He was also very skillful in handling the duck.
Ge Yuzhu, who was squatting next to him, was stunned.
Xu Tonglu, who was standing not far away, was also surprised.
Ge Yuzhu couldn't help but ask: "Brother, when will you do this? You seem to have never killed a duck before, right?"
Tongdao Xu didn't raise his head. He was already cutting the toenails on the duck's feet with scissors. He hummed casually without intending to explain.
After his rebirth, there will definitely be many things that will surprise them in the future. He has no intention of explaining it. No matter what they think, no one would have thought that he was reborn.
…
While Xu Tongdao was killing ducks and stewing ducks at home, Ge Xiaotian and Ge Xiaoyu's father, Ge Zhiping, stepped on the mud and came to a house next to the polder.
This family has a large courtyard, and there are twenty or thirty people sitting or standing in the courtyard at this time.
As soon as Ge Zhiping arrived, many people greeted him in the yard, and he responded with a smile.
After looking around the yard for a while, he found his wife Xu Hongye.
According to the rules of Shangwei, one person from every household must come.
Ge Zhiping's wife Xu Hongye has been on duty here for a day, and Ge Zhiping just came from home to replace his wife Xu Hongye.
At this time, Xu Hongye was taking a nap against the wall.
Ge Zhiping walked over and patted her shoulder, "Go home! I'm here."
Xu Hongye opened her eyes, looked at him, smiled, stood up, patted her butt and left.
Xu Tongdao's mother, Ge Xiaozhu, was sitting with Xu Hongye just now. Seeing Xu Hongye patting her butt and going home, she looked up at Ge Zhiping, squeezed out a smile, and asked: "Zong family! Are you from the village?
My house, are those little things in my house okay?"
Her husband disappeared suddenly, leaving behind a pile of gambling debts. As a result, the family's belongings and food were emptied out, leaving a trace of sadness hanging over her brows. Even though she was smiling at this time, her brows were slightly frowned.
Why did she call Ge Zhiping "Zongjia"?
That's because she and Ge Zhiyuan are both from Gejia Village.
Later, she married into Xujia Village, while Ge Zhiping married into Gejia Village, and the two families were not far apart.
Speaking of which, she and Ge Zhiping have the same surname and the same clan, so she is used to calling Ge Zhiping "the clan" when she sees him.
Also because they have the same surname and the same clan, Ge Zhiping also takes good care of her on weekdays.
"Your home..."
Hearing her question, Ge Zhiping frowned and shook his head with a wry smile.
As soon as he shook his head, Ge Xiaozhu immediately became nervous. He quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to my family again?"
Seeing her worried look, Ge Zhiping quickly raised his hand and said, "Xiaozhu, you don't have to be so nervous. Speaking of which... it should be a good thing! Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"
"Good thing?"
Ge Xiaozhu was confused, "How should I say it?"
Ge Zhiping chuckled, "That's right, your trail has become a blockbuster today. This kid is more talented than his father. Let me tell you, this morning he first went to Xu Jinshan's house, and then to Xu Hengbing's house."
That kid’s house…”
As if telling a story, Ge Zhiping told Ge Xiaozhu what Comrade Xu had done this morning, as if he had witnessed those things with his own eyes.
In fact, he was not at home this morning. What he said to Ge Xiaozhu at this time was what he heard from his daughter Ge Xiaoyu and son Ge Xiaotian when he went home for dinner at noon.
But what he said had already shocked Ge Xiaozhu to the point where his face changed several times.
Both surprised and worried.
Until the end, she worriedly confirmed to Ge Zhiping, "Zhiping, what you said is true? You, you didn't lie to me, did you? Is he really fine with my little boy?"
Ge Zhiping smiled and nodded, "It's really okay! Just rest assured!"
When he said this just now, many people in the yard subconsciously gathered over.
These people are all from Xujiacun.
I heard that Ge Xiaozhu's son Xu Tongdao made such a splash in the village today that everyone was interested.
I was asked a lot of questions just now.
After listening to this, all kinds of voices started to make fun of Ge Xiaozhu.
"Xiao Zhu! You're better now. Although your man has run away, your family will be able to support you in the future, haha."
"That's right! I never saw that kid from Xiaodao being so responsible..."
"Zhiping, are you sure you are right about what you just said? I remember the two sons of Xiaozhu's family. Is her younger son more tempered? Did you say wrong just now? Those things you just said should have been done by that kid from Xiaolu.
Bar?"
"I also think it was Xiaolu who did it!"
…
Ge Xiaozhu had no intention of talking nonsense to them. Although Ge Zhiping had nodded to confirm that her son was fine, she was still worried. She frowned and hesitated for a moment. She suddenly exhaled and said to the captain of their production team: "Captain!
I'm really worried about such a big thing happening in my family. I, I want to take a leave and go back. Do you like it? Don't worry! I will definitely come back as soon as possible! "
