Chapter 194: A Roast Duck to Increase Favorability

Thinking of the "gifts" on the cart, Xin Ye instantly stood up, led the donkey cart into the house, and at the same time ordered other secret guards to come and help unload the goods.

"Eh? Brother-in-law, didn't you go out in a bullock cart? Why did you come back in a donkey cart?" Hua Muyu also came over to watch the fun, "Eh? What's that smell? It smells so good~"

When Yan Yiyi and Hua Murong walked closer and smelled it, the delicacy immediately came to their minds. Their eyes lit up and they swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Yan Yiyi was deeply moved: it turned out that he had been busy with this "gift" this morning!

Hua Murong touched her belly and swallowed: This brother-in-law is sincere enough, yes, Yier has good taste!

Hua Muchin, who came over a step later, looked at Xin Ye with appreciation when she saw the pile of things in his car. He was a man who did what he said and was not just talking nonsense. Good.

But what smells so good?

Xin Ye took down four food boxes specially made for roast duck from the car, put them aside, and replied Hua Muyu with a smile: "This is the special dish prepared for you for lunch. It's meat."

Hua Muyu's eyes sparkled brightly, and she reached out to open the food box, but Xin Ye quickly stopped her: "No hurry, if you open it now, it will get cold and won't taste good later."

For the sake of the delicious food, Hua Muyu swallowed his saliva and obediently returned to Hua Murong's side.

Xin Yecai noticed that there was already a stove with a wok and a soup pot in the yard, but the four new woks and soup pots he brought back were obviously not enough on one stove, and it was impossible to use all four pots.

"We'll build a stove after lunch. It will be a bit slow with so many people using one pot. So don't delay for lunch. There won't be enough time to prepare the main dishes. You can just fry sweet potato cakes or steam sweet potatoes, stir-fry some vegetables, cook some porridge, and add some pickles. Just keep it simple." Xin Ye said to Hua Bei.

Hua Bei nodded and deliberately raised his voice: "I am grateful for your generosity, Master, for letting me eat sweet potatoes that even many officials and dignitaries in the capital cannot eat."

Hua Bei said this deliberately to prevent the people brought by the second and third young masters from thinking that his brother-in-law was deliberately neglecting them. He was not an ungrateful person and he had to repay his brother-in-law for the delicious food he had fed them for a month.

Moreover, it is a fact that sweet potatoes are rare, and their masters have worked hard to dig them out from the ground. Their value is immeasurable, so how could they be misled?

Xin Ye smiled, Hua Bei was a good man, and at the same time gestured to Hua Bei and the others to get busy. Anyway, they knew exactly where the sweet potatoes, vegetables, rice and flour were.

Hua Muchin and Hua Muyu's secret guards had already learned about the value of sweet potatoes. They did not expect that their son-in-law would be so generous as to take out such a rare thing to treat their subordinates. They felt inexplicably flattered.

This son-in-law from the countryside... seems to be better than expected. He doesn't have the airs of other rich and noble sons or sons of powerful families. The eldest lady really knows how to find a husband. Such a person is most compatible with the character and family style of the Hua family.

Hua Muxin was somewhat surprised by Xin Ye's generosity, and her impression of this brother-in-law rose sharply.

Hua Muyu's mind and eyes were filled with the alluring fragrance in the wooden box, and she didn't care at all about the adults' various thoughts.

Thinking that he had already steamed sweet potatoes for his second elder brother and youngest brother in the morning, if they wanted to eat fried sweet potato cakes or sweet potatoes, they could go to Hua Bei. Xin Ye thought about it and decided to make a dish of minced meat with water spinach stems, garlic-stirred water spinach hearts, egg and scallion soup, and finally steamed rice.

These dishes are very simple and can be prepared in less than half an hour. Finally, the still steaming roast duck is taken out and chopped into pieces. Of course, two big roast duck legs are not forgotten for my wife.

Xin Ye also did not forget to share the food with the two secret guards, and kept the remaining one for Li Adie to eat when he came back in the evening. Although the taste would be affected a little, there was nothing he could do about it, because he would not be at home at noon.

Hua Muyu had eaten roasted chicken before, but the color of roasted chicken was not as beautiful and even as this duck: "Brother-in-law, is this roasted duck?"

"No, this is roast duck. The taste is a little different from roast duck."

Hua Muyu said honestly: "Anyway, I have never eaten roast duck, so I don't know what the difference is."

Yan Yiyi glanced at her two adopted brothers who were secretly swallowing their saliva and Hua Muyu who was staring at the roast duck: "Okay, let's eat." Today they ate a little later than usual. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. If they delayed any longer, they could have dinner.

"Brother, start eating." Xin Ye said. He was the oldest in the family, so he should be the first to start eating.

Hua Murong didn't bother to be polite with them. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating the roast duck, picking up a piece of duck neck.

Hua Muyu was finally able to pick up her chopsticks and immediately reached out to the roast duck and picked up a piece of breast meat. Hua Muxin couldn't help but reach out to the roast duck and also picked up a piece of breast meat. Xin Ye was not modest either. He reached out to the roast duck with his chopsticks and picked up a big duck leg and put it into Yan Yiyi's bowl.

Yan Yiyi was the only one who didn't pick up the duck meat. Instead, he picked up some minced meat and water spinach. She was not surprised at all that there was suddenly a big duck leg in her bowl.

Xin Ye knew his wife's appetite, so he gave the remaining duck leg to Hua Muyu, successfully maxing out Hua Muyu's favorability score.

"Awoo~" Hua Muyu took a big bite of the duck leg. The crispy duck skin and tender duck meat were not dry or fishy at all.

They had eaten duck meat before, but it always had a fishy smell, so they didn’t like it at all. They didn’t expect that this roast duck not only had no fishy smell, but was also so fragrant!

Niang Mu Niang Mu...

Yan Yiyi said that the roasted duck legs were really delicious~

When Xin Ye saw his wife gnawing on a duck leg, he picked up some water spinach for her, and told her that Yi Yi ate a bite of vegetable and a bite of meat, combining meat and vegetables for a balanced nutrition.

After the meal, Xin Ye once again won the recognition of his second brother and younger brothers with his cooking skills. Hua Muchin no longer spoke to him in a reserved manner and just said whatever he wanted to say.

"Brother-in-law, what do you want to do in the future? Continue to stay in the village?"

"I listen to my wife."

Hua Muxin: ...No, can you be more sincere?

Yan Yiyi knew what Hua Muxin meant, and as the head of the family, he spoke: "As you can see, there are still some new varieties in the fields that have not been promoted. Perhaps there are other grains in the mountains that have not been discovered. I plan to study the crops and find more ingredients for Aye to make delicious food for me."

Hua Muxin opened her mouth and wanted to say that this was too unambitious, but... her sister was being supported by them, and her brother-in-law was accompanying her, so as long as she was happy, it seemed that this was not bad.

"That's great, but do we have to stay in Dashan Village? There are many mountains, forests and fields in Shacheng, and we also have many farms." Hua Muchin still refused to give up the idea of ​​bringing his sister back to Shacheng.

Yan Yiyi pointed to the mountains not far away and said, "It's pretty good here. The lunch is rich. The climate in Sand City is closer to the north, so the food varieties are different. I want to study how much edible food there is in the south first."

When these words were spoken, everyone could hear the perfunctory tone in them, but they all understood what she meant.

——Stay in Dashan Village for the time being.
