My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

159 Chapter 159 New Year’s Gift (2)

When Gu Chengrui returned, only the smell of meat was left. He couldn’t help but ask, “Babe, did you make more braised pig trotters?”

“Your nose is almost as sharp as Er Zhuang’s,” Zhou Ying laughed, “Yes, it’s braised pork trotters, and I made a pot of them. I put them outside, so if you want to eat, you can when we go out later.”

“A New Year’s gift for Brother Zhou?”

“That’s right. He’s our patron now, so since he loves good food, we will satisfy him on that front.”

“You’re right. Do you think we should roast two ducks and send them over too?”

“The roast duck I made isn’t authentic enough.”

“It’s just a change of taste. It’s not quite the same, but it’s more than enough to compete with. Oh right, roast one more, and we’ll eat it tomorrow night.”

After Zhou Ying heard this, she turned and looked over teasingly. Why did it sound like he asked because he wanted to eat it?

“I’m going out to slaughter the ducks.” Gu Chengrui’s face turned red, and he immediately ran away.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying didn’t say anything more. It wasn’t late yet, so she yeasted 500 pounds of white flour and made some bread and buns.

After that, she prepared the necessary seasonings for the roast duck. The most important was the jujube wood, the crucial ingredient in the roast duck. Although other wood could be used, it would lack the fruity smoke flavor.

When Gu Chengrui brought the ducks over, he had already used a small stick to prop up the duck’s cavity. After washing the duck’s belly with boiling water, he seared the skin, added sugar, and hung it up to dry the skin.

It would take a long time, so they cleaned up a little while waiting. When the steamed buns were cooked, they put them into a warehouse and went out of the interspace to sleep.

After waking up, Zhou Ying went back into her interspace to plug the ducks and put them on the grill to roast slowly. She took the duck down when the fat was rendered.

She kept the one with slightly broken skin in the storeroom to keep it warm and took the other two out of the interspace.

Coincidentally, Gu Chengrui had also finished preparing breakfast. After the two of them finished eating, Gu Chengrui set aside a pair of pig trotters. After all, giving a gift as a pair was better.

They wrapped the rest of the things in oil paper and placed them in two tubs. They later used Tian Jiawang’s cart to send the stuff to Manager Liu. “Uncle Liu, please help us give these to General Zhou. It’s a New Year’s gift from us.”

“Oh… why didn’t you guys give it to him personally yesterday?”

“He left in a hurry, and we didn’t manage to make it in time.”

“That’s true. Leave it to me then.”

“Thank you. It’s full of food, so it would be to hurry up the delivery.”

“Sure. Do you have any extra vermicelli on your side? General Zhou said it was a pity that he forgot to get some from you yesterday.”

“Yes, of course. Please wait a moment, and we’ll return to get it now.” Zhou Ying said so and left Hongyun Restaurant with Gu Chengrui.

However, Gu Chengrui went to his clinic, while Zhou Ying and Tian Jiawang returned to her restaurant.

Zhou Ying went to the kitchen and used that as a disguise to take out five pounds of vermicelli from her interspace.

After hesitating, she took another five pounds of spicy dried tofu and two jars of the restaurant’s most expensive green bamboo shoots. She also wrote down the recipe and eating method for the roast duck and sent them back to Hongyun Restaurant.

After leaving Hongyun Restaurant, she wasn’t in a hurry to return. Instead, she strolled around the streets and realized that there were many hawker stalls along the streets.

Not only were fruits around, but there were also stalls selling beef and mutton. Although the quantity was small, there were many people around.

There were all sorts of dried fruits, various desserts, and snacks.

There were also frozen fish, mainly small yellow croakers and pomfrets.

She also didn’t expect to see Second Uncle Gu and Gu Chengxi setting up a stall on the street to sell snacks.
