Su Ye touched the heads of the two big fat ducks with a smile, shook his head and said: If it is destined to be yours, it will eventually come to you, and if it is not destined to be yours, don't force it.
The group of military wives were so angry that they almost died after hearing this.
Su Ye did not expect the twists and turns when he was retrieving the duck, but it was also good this way. It was much better to pick up the meat by luck than to buy the meat on the black market at a sky-high price and be suspected by others.
How could she, an ordinary, honest teacher, afford such high-end food
In the evening, Niu Cuihua almost burst out laughing when she heard about this.
Someone asked suspiciously, "Isn't that someone's duck she picked up?"
The military wife described it vividly: "How could they be domesticated? Those two ducks are so well-built, with green heads and white backs. Not only can they run fast, they can also fly! Can domesticated ducks be so smart?"
Niu Cuihua heard this and said, "There are a few mountains behind the training area, so it's not surprising to see a few wild animals there."
Although the army had put up electric fences to block the area, sometimes small flying creatures could not be stopped from flying into the yard. In winter, they could catch a few sparrows when they spread grain. But I had never heard of anyone being so lucky. The big teal was... too tempting.
Su Ye's luck was really good. The gang was so upset that they wanted to beat their chests and stamp their feet when they thought about the duck that they had caught flying away again.
Although everyone had heard about her experiences of fishing by the river, picking up rabbits, and hunting wild boars, hearing is just hearing, how can it be as painful as seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it in person
Those military wives who once despised Su Ye for coming from the countryside, being shallow-minded and uneducated, and were too lazy to make friends with her, now regretted why they didn't spend more time with Su Ye. Otherwise, they could have benefited from her and eaten meat now.
These two big teals are so fat and handsome, even their feathers are smooth and shiny. Domestic ducks are not even half as energetic as them. How delicious must they taste? It is so difficult to find meat to eat these days!
The more regretful this person felt, the more widely the news of Su Ye capturing two big ducks alive spread.
Yao Chunyu had just returned from a field exercise, and she spent a hundred yuan to buy a wild pheasant on the black market.
Although one hundred yuan may not seem like much, it was in the 1960s when the monthly salary was thirty yuan. She felt a little pain when she paid the money. But the pain soon disappeared. Isn't the purpose of making money to live a good life
Think about this time in my previous life, I ate steamed buns with cabbage for every meal, but now it’s good enough to have meat every few days. This is the meaning of gratitude.
Yao Chunyu returned to the compound with the chicken in great excitement.
But she didn't feel happy for long, because she ran into some neighbors who were chatting together: "Su Ye's luck is really amazing. She picked up two big ducks, so fat and big that others can't even envy her."
The neighbor pointed at the chicken in Yao Chunyu's hand and said, "Look, it's about twice the size of Xiaoyu's chicken. Xiaoyu, you didn't pick up your chicken, did you?"
Yao Chunyu's expression was almost tense, and her smile was stagnant. She said softly, "No, no one is so lucky. My chicken was given to me by a relative."
Yao Chunyu returned home, closed the door, and his smile faded a lot.
What happened to Su Ye? In her previous life, she had never been known to be lucky. People in the compound always spoke of her with contempt and slander. When had she ever been envied like this
When Yao Chunyu was killing the chicken, he suddenly thought of a possibility... Su Ye was kidnapped.
She has a little granddaughter who loves to read novels. After finishing her homework at night, she often listens to novels on her mobile phone. Yao Chunyu also listened to a few novels. What she hates most is the period novels, where the heroine uses a golden finger to catch rabbits wherever she goes, and she can dig wild ginseng by just going up the mountain. She can make money by lying down. How can people who have experienced the famine not know that people were so hungry at that time that they ate grass roots and dug tree bark. How could there be so many living things to pounce on them
Because Yao Chunyu had bad luck, he hated this kind of koi heroine. And Su Ye... was such a person.
…
The other side.
Su Ye happily killed two ducks. After plucking all the feathers, he weighed them and found that they still weighed more than three pounds. After cutting open the ducks' skin, there was a thin layer of fat. The duck meat was delicate and tender. His hands were covered with duck fat.
What a fat duck! Su Ye's eyes lit up as he watched.
She cleaned the duck's internal organs, poured the marinade into the duck's stomach, sewed it up with an embroidery needle, spread the marinade all over the duck, and placed it in a ventilated place to dry naturally.
The house given by Grandma Zhou was fully equipped with heaters and an imported black-and-white TV. The kitchen was clean and spacious, and there was even a fireplace in the living room, which was enough to show the elegant taste of the owner. Now, all these things were bought at a low price.
The next day, Su Ye patted the slightly yellowed ducks, lit the stove, hung them up, and roasted them for an hour.
The roast duck gradually turned golden yellow on the charcoal fire, and transparent oil oozed out of the duck skin and flowed down the body. The perilla leaves were smeared with honey, and the color of the roast duck turned into a beautiful rose color. As time passed, the aroma of the roast duck in the oven became stronger and stronger.
Su Ye took out two roast ducks and looked closely at them. They were golden and shiny, and the duck skin, which was evenly smeared with honey, was tinged with an attractive red color. When the knife cut it open, the marinade in the belly had soaked into every inch of the meat under the skin.
The skin and meat of the roast duck are separated, the duck skin is crispy and wrinkled, and there is a thin layer of fat under the skin. She couldn't wait to taste a piece. The duck skin was crispy and fragrant, the duck meat was tender and plump, and the fragrant marinade soaked every inch of the duck meat, which made her taste buds explode.
The taste is actually not worse than that of Jufu Restaurant.
Su Ye's cooking skills are not good enough, but the duck is good, it grows well, and the meat is tender and delicate. High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking skills.
Su Ye deftly took out a roast duck, sliced the duck meat, packed one while it was still hot and asked someone to send it to the home of Director Lu and his wife. He also made another portion for himself and sent it to the home of Boss Ning, and gave the remaining portion to Grandma Zhou.
She delivered roast duck to the Ning family. Unexpectedly, she ran into Grandma Zhou at the Ning family. Su Ye said with a smile, "So Grandma Zhou is here too. It saves me from making an extra trip to your place. Xingdou, come and eat roast duck!"
Ning Xingdou was overjoyed. He didn't expect that there would be roast duck to eat.
"I heard yesterday that my sister-in-law got two ducks. I didn't expect that I would be able to eat her duck meat today." This is too good to be true!
Ning Xingdou has been obsessed with the roast duck meat sent by Su Ye since then. Even the white flour steamed buns don't taste good! Looking at the cabbage, sweet potato and sorghum flour he usually eats, they taste like pig food. It's true that comparing goods is useless, and comparing people is frustrating.
Over there, Zhou Honghan was discussing a serious math problem with Ning Qian, but the discussion had to be interrupted because they smelled a strong aroma of food.
Su Ye poured out the hot roast duck meat from the lunch box, and took out a plate of sweet and sour noodle sauce, cucumber shreds, and thin pancakes. The rose-colored roast duck meat was stained with a thin layer of duck fat, and the meat slices were thick and large, showing the fatness of the duck, which was unimaginably plump.
Even in the past, it was a rare delicacy, let alone in the era of famine. This food was so delicious that it seemed to be non-existent, and several people were reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.
Ning Xingdou couldn't wait to take a piece of pancake and wrap the roast duck and cucumber shreds in it, then spread a layer of sweet and sour sauce on it. When he took a bite, he could taste the tender and flavorful duck meat, paired with the refreshing and crispy cucumber shreds.
"It's delicious, try it while it's hot!" Su Ye urged everyone to eat together with a smile.
The roast duck was delicious. Zhou Honghan's mouth was full of oil. It was not because she was not good at eating, but because the duck was very plump. The duck skin was greasy when she bit it, but it was not greasy. For people who have been thirsty for a long time, it was like a person who had been thirsty in the desert for a long time finally drinking sweet spring water.
Zhou Honghan was extremely satisfied with the meal, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes seemed to be smiling.
Mother Ning also ate with a look of satisfaction, her cheeks flushed, and even her hair was filled with happiness. Although the roast duck delivered yesterday was delicious, there was not even a piece for each person. How could it be compared to the roast duck delivered by Su Ye, which was so enjoyable
Everyone got a share of the three-pound duck, which they rolled up in dough and ate, leaving their thumbs and mouths covered in grease.
Su Ye smiled and said, "I'll go back first. The stove at home is still burning."
"Xiao Su, where are you going? Why are you leaving without finishing your meal?"
"Hey! You kid, you came all the way here and you're leaving without even having time to sit down? You wait here!" A group of people stopped her hurriedly.
Mother Ning wiped her apron with her hands, took out a tissue and wiped her lips. She took something out of the cabinet and stuffed it into Su Ye's arms.
"I'd be embarrassed not to give you anything after asking you to spend so much money. Your aunt doesn't have anything rare at home. Here's for you. The roast duck is delicious!"
Su Ye didn't expect that she would be stuffed with something. She pushed the box into Ning's mother's hands and smiled helplessly: "Auntie, I'm so embarrassed for you to do this! I just picked up the duck for free. It doesn't cost anything except a little oil, salt and sauce."
Mother Ning whispered to Su Ye, "Don't refuse. Your uncle Ning and I have already discussed this. We feel embarrassed to eat your food for free. How about this as your 'meal allowance' in the future?"
Their family has a good relationship with Su Ye, which is something that others can only envy. Ning's mother accepted Su Ye's help, understood her intentions, and naturally cherished this relationship. If you always take advantage of others for nothing, how can you expect to eat fine grains and delicious meat in the future
Su Ye thought about it but didn't refuse. In her eyes, meat was not a valuable thing, but it was a rare thing that was hard to get for others. A give-and-take relationship would lead to a more harmonious relationship.
Ever since Su Ye moved into Grandma Zhou's house, she has been eating meat more calmly and calmly than before, eating an egg every day, and her legs and feet are more agile than those of an ordinary old lady.
However, Su Ye never expected that what Ning's mother gave her was beyond her expectations. She thought that she was receiving another bottle of wine, so she did not refuse it.
After returning home, she opened the box and almost blinded herself. She saw a glittering box filled with countless yellow goldfish, an exquisitely crafted necklace, and a gold pocket watch with a chain. The mechanical parts of the dial were turning, making subtle sounds.
The workmanship is exquisite, the texture is delicate, and you can tell that it is a custom-made style specially made by a craftsman.
Half a box of small gold bars and two necklaces and pocket watches of unknown cost. Su Ye was shocked by Ning's mother's generosity and thought to himself: With so much gold, won't she have to deliver meals to him every day in the future
