Chapter 701

Lee Yanyi had a very sensitive tongue and sharp ears . Therefore, he heard Unworried Mulberry as soon as he spoke .

“What did you say just now?” Lee Yanyi squinted his eyes and looked at Unworried Mulberry severely .

“Nothing . ” Unworried Mulberry contradicted him subconsciously at once .

“You are not a food critic . Are you here to eat or to make a report?” Lee Yanyi didn’t want him to repeat what he had just said, but instead, wanted to say his own words .

“It seems to have nothing to do with you . ” Unworried Mulberry wasn’t very confident .

After all, it was indeed he who rebutted Lee Yanyi, yet he wasn’t going to admit it, hence when he was questioned, it wasn’t easy for him to reply .

“Does it have nothing to do with me? Defaming my judgment and tongue equals to defaming this old man,” said Lee Yanyi vigorously .

“I didn’t mean to defame you, but that was indeed the frozen duck,” Unworried Mulberry said affirmatively .

“Do you think ducks taken out of the fridge are all frozen ducks?” Lee Yanyi kept silent for a while and then asked with a strange look .

“Of course,” Unworried Mulberry said as if it were obvious .

“I’d like to do a good deed today and explain to you what is a frozen duck . ” The way Lee Yanyi looked at Unworried Mulberry was the same way he looked at a fool .

“Please,” Unworried Mulberry pretended to be listening to him modestly and then said .

“A frozen duck refers to the duck preserved at very cold temperatures, around 30-40 degrees below zero . The period of preservation will be very long . Only the ducks preserved in this way can be regarded as the frozen ducks . ” Lee Yanyi explained to him primly .

“Now, look at the duck in Boss Yuan’s hand first and then only speak . Of course, you might not know me and you don’t need to . Just remember, I can guarantee you that isn’t a frozen duck,” Lee Yanyi continued .

“Needless to say, I will investigate the relationship between Boss Yuan and you . ” Unworried Mulberry really didn’t like the way Lee Yanyi spoke arrogantly, thus he also answered him impolitely .

“I don’t have any relationship with him . ” Lee Yanyi laughed at him . After that, he turned his head back and didn’t talk to Unworried Mulberry anymore .

“Where does this old man come from?” Unworried Mulberry learned to be smart this time . He didn’t bring that out verbally, but instead, just thought in his heart .

Of course, it was fairly common for Unworried Mulberry not to know Lee Yanyi . After all, they were not in the same circle .

Unworried Mulberry was responsible for digging hot news and cracking down on counterfeit goods while Lee Yanyi was a famous food critic in a different area . The two of them had nothing in common .

But right now, it was more important to look at Boss Yuan . After all, he hadn’t taken a picture of Yuan Zhou cooking .

The conversation between the two people was heard by Yuan Zhou . If it wasn’t for Yuan Zhou didn’t not wanting to say anything, he really wanted to take out the introduction provided by the system and show Unworried Mulberry .

After all, he had just been envious of the food and living conditions of the duck in his hand .

When Yuan Zhou got the duck early in the morning, he asked the system . After all, it was quite necessary to know about how it grew up in order to cook a delicious dish .

“What good things did the duck eat to grow up?” Yuan Zhou asked while he was processing the duck .

Yuan Zhou had a good reason to ask that . Leaving other reasons aside, there wasn’t a smell of blood when the duck was killed . Instead, there was even some fragrance when the blood flowed out of its body .

As was expected, the answer of the system didn’t let Yuan Zhou down .

The system displayed, “The duck was bred from the baby ducklings of Jinling Lake Duck . ”

“Lake Duck? Is the ancestor of that breed used to make the Beijing Roast Duck?” Yuan Zhou knew about this breed of duck .

It was rumored that Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty brought this breed of ducks from Nanyuan of Beijing when he moved his capital from Nanjing to Beijing . As time went by, this breed of ducks was then used to make the Beijing Roast Duck .

The system displayed, “Yes . There were only 90 thousand of such pure-breed ducks raised in 1988 and this system selected the pure-breed Lake Duck . The duck is meaty as well as fat and tender and is especially suitable for cooking dishes . Because of the food it usually eats, it is most suitable for cooking Tea-smoked Duck . ”

“What does your duck live on? Why isn’t there the smell of blood? Instead, it even has the fragrance of tea . ” After Yuan Zhou finished processing the duck, he confirmed that it was the fragrance of tea contained in the duck .

The system displayed, “It is spring now at the place where the host is and it’s appropriate to drink flos sophorae tea in this season . This system feeds the duck with pilose antler supplemented with fresh flos sophorae tea . During the process, this system also uses Zhuozhou rice to fatten the ducks . ”

“Wait . Are you talking about the pilose antler?” Yuan Zhou asked in surprise .

The system displayed, “Yes . ”

“I have never eaten that before . What does that look like?” Yuan Zhou felt quite embarrassed and then sighed .

“This society is finished . Even ducks are eating the pilose antler,” Yuan Zhou complained continuously .

The system displayed, “It’s raised scientifically until early autumn when it can be eaten . At that time, the duck is stoutest and strongest and the taste is both fresh and delicious . ”

Yuan Zhou had originally wanted to continue complaining when he suddenly found something might be wrong with the system’s words . Then, he asked immediately .

“Isn’t it the Beginning of Spring now?” Yuan Zhou asked .

The system displayed, “The sun moves back and forth between the equator . Whichever hemisphere the Sun is, it’s summer in that hemisphere . Therefore, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere when the sun is there; and it’s winter conversely .

“It’s autumn now in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina which are in the Southern Hemisphere . ”

“Ahem ahem . I know, I know that . I’m just asking you about the food ingredients . And you don’t need to popularize the geographical knowledge,” Yuan Zhou clenched his fist and said solemnly .

“You even went to the Northern Hemisphere to raise ducks . ” In rapid sequence, Yuan Zhou grumbled .

However, the system disappeared again and no longer displayed anything when Yuan Zhou asked about the food ingredients .

For such a dignified duck, how could it possibly be a frozen duck? No wonder Yuan Zhou wanted to throw the introductions in Unworried Mulberry’s face directly .

These thoughts of Yuan Zhou were unknown to Unworried Mulberry . When he looked towards Yuan Zhou, however, he was holding a knife and defeathering the duck .

He pinched the duck bill with one hand and lifted up the whole duck naturally with the duck feet on the chopping board drooping loosely .

Then, he directly took the knife and wielded it quickly . Unworried Mulberry wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt the surface of the duck seemed to become smoother .

“I don’t believe somebody can wield the knife aimlessly and defeather the duck . It must be an illusion . ” Unworried Mulberry couldn’t help shaking his head to deny his own speculations . After all, what Yuan Zhou was taking in his hand now was a bamboo knife and he knew that it could only be used to cut tofu .

How could such a knife be used to defeather the duck?

Regardless of these things, Yuan Zhou went on with the next procedure after he processed the oil and fine hair .

He pickled the duck with Shaoxing yellow rice wine . This time, Yuan Zhou pickled it with his hands . Every move he made was just perfect . He wiped the duck softly and then covered it with the rice wine . After rubbing it softly again, the rice wine seeped into the body .

Then, Yuan Zhou scattered Maowen wild pepper and Sichuan peppercorn over the surface to give it some flavor .

“Holy sh*t . ” Unworried Mulberry looked at Yuan Zhou doing all the work and even forgot to take pictures .

“It feels like a scam…” Suddenly, Unworried Mulberry had a premonition .
