Chapter 834 Catching Ducks
Hu Zi and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment at the roe deer in their hands, and then they had to clean up the mess obediently. After all, everyone else in the village was asleep at that time. Did they want to kill themselves by waking up so many people?
The next day, when Zhou Guo got up to practice, he found that Zhou Dacang had also gotten up and was sweating all over after doing several sets of boxing.
She smiled and said, "Uncle, let's have a competition."
Zhou Dacang shook his head, "Forget it, you can't beat me."
Zhou Guo was not convinced. "Although you have been fighting every year since you entered the military camp and have killed countless people, I have not been idle either. I have been practicing martial arts every day. I don't believe that I can't beat you now."
Zhou Dacang got ready.
Zhou Guo rubbed his wrist and moved forward.
The two figures soon became entangled with each other.
Soon, everyone else in the village gathered around, and those who hadn't gotten up also got up. If you miss such a lively scene, you will regret it for a whole month.
Hu Zi and others also got up and watched Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang fighting in the yard.
Those who don't understand ask: "Manager Tiger, who is better between the two of them?"
Hu Zi and the others didn't say anything, but watched intently, and even gestured when they got excited.
Although Zhou Dacang's kung fu is not as good as Zhou Guo's, what he has practiced in the past few years in the military camp is how to defeat the enemy and kill people with one move, which is much more practical than Zhou Guo's set of skills.
Zhou Guo's fight was not easy. She remembered that when Zhou Dacang had not yet entered the camp, they had a duel and he definitely could not beat her.
In the past few years, not only has his martial arts improved, but his strength has also increased.
Every punch he throws is at a tricky angle and with great force. An ordinary person would die if they couldn't withstand one blow.
Sure enough, there is no fancy moves in the army. Every punch is delivered promptly and efficiently. If someone’s life can be taken, then only arms and legs will be broken.
The two fought for half an hour. As more and more people gathered around, Zhou Guo stepped aside and said, "It's time for training today. We won't fight anymore."
Zhou Dacang laughed out loud, "It's really enjoyable."
It was rare to find an opponent in the military camp who could fight with him for so long, although he was afraid he would lose if the fight continued.
The crowd cheered and applauded; they rarely saw such an exciting fight.
Hu Zi and the others thought to themselves: It seems that I still need to practice more. With my level, I can't even last for a cup of tea, let alone half an hour, against these two people.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Uncle, let's go, let's eat roe deer meat this morning. I'll have someone fish a few turtles out of the pond and we'll have braised turtles."
In fact, she usually eats very simple food in the morning.
A bowl of noodles, steamed buns, porridge and pickles will do the trick, but Zhou Dacang hasn't been back for a long time and there are not many good things in the military camp, so how can he eat these things? So he has to arrange some fish and meat.
Zhou Dacang said, "Roe deer meat is good, let's have another pot of soup."
"That's easy." Zhou Guo waved her hand and called Er Pang over. "Our general wants some soup. I'll go catch the duck and you go prepare the other things."
Erpang went there happily.
The roe deer meat is also being roasted.
The sky was getting brighter, and Zhou Guo said, "Uncle, let's go. You left in a hurry last time and didn't have a good look at the manor. I'll take you to have a look."
Nowadays, there is everything on Zhuangzi.
There are green rice fields, ponds for raising crabs, fish and turtles, two hills full of fruit trees, one hill with many chickens, another hill full of vegetables, and a number of ducks in the pond.
Have everything.
Zhuangzi is a prosperous scene.
Zhou Dacang looked at the rice, livestock and fruit trees and sighed, "I haven't farmed for so long that I almost forgot what rice looks like when it grows in the ground."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "When the rice is ripe, you can come and harvest it. It's not far away anyway. We have also raised a lot of crabs this year. I guarantee you will have enough to eat. You haven't eaten fresh crabs yet, right? I tell you, they are delicious! Turtle is also delicious, and duck is not bad either. I want you to catch two and I will make you braised duck? Or braised chicken?"
Zhou Dacang paused, "Why didn't you catch him? I only come back once in a long time, and you order me to do things?"
Zhou Guo said innocently: "You said it yourself. You don't even know what rice looks like. You fight and kill rice every day. When you come back, you catch ducks and chase away chickens. Go quickly. I want to eat ducks!"
Zhou Dacang rolled up his sleeves and really went up.
Ducks are not easy to catch. There is a pond not far away, so we have to catch them before they go into the water.
Zhou Dacang rushed forward and scooped up the duck, but found nothing. The duck ran away, leaving a pile of duck feathers on the ground.
Zhou Guo laughed and shouted, "Uncle, hurry up, or the ducks will go into the pond, and then we can't catch them or chase them away."
The pond is too big.
Zhou Dacang rushed forward again. He had done a lot of things like catching chickens and dogs when he was a child, but he was not used to it for a long time. After two tries, he got the hang of it. Finally, he rushed forward in one step, and with his quick eyes and hands, he scooped up a fat duck from the ground with both hands.
Squawking.
Zhou Guo smiled and clapped his hands, "My uncle is amazing. He caught a duck so quickly after not catching one for such a long time."
Zhou Dacang held the duck in his hand and said proudly, "How can I not catch a duck?"
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Come on, you remove the hair and I will fry it for you."
The uncle and nephew were busy in the kitchen, and the turtle had already been caught.
Zhou Guo started to prepare the seasonings and boil the pot, while Zhou Dacang dealt with the turtle and the duck. Apart from the two of them, there were no other outsiders in the kitchen.
It seemed like we were back to a few years ago, when our family was not well off and we had to do everything ourselves. But being together as a family was more joyful than anything else.
Zhou Guo hadn't cooked for a while, so he waved the spatula a few times until he got the hang of it.
After the ginger, garlic and peppercorns are sautéed in the pot, add the turtle pieces. With a sizzling sound, the aroma is stimulated and immediately, the whole kitchen is filled with the tempting aroma.
Zhou Dacang didn’t even pluck the duck feathers. He stood up and stared into the pot, swallowed his saliva, it smelled so good!
Zhou Guo turned his head to look and smiled. At this time, the shadow of the past finally appeared and it was obvious that he had not been replaced by someone.
Hu Zi and his friends were roasting roe deer in the yard. He sniffed the aroma and turned up his nose.
The bald man almost drooled, "I didn't expect the big boss's cooking skills were so amazing, why is it so fragrant?"
Asked Hu Zi and Er Pang, "Have you tried the cooking of the boss?"
The two men didn't say anything, but drooled as they grilled the roe deer meat.
The turtle is braised and the duck is used to make soup.
Take out the pickled radish from the winter, cut it into small pieces, and put it in the casserole along with the duck pieces. Add a few slices of ginger and half a pot of water to the soup, and simmer it on a small stove.
Zhou Dacang asked, "How long does it take to stew this?"
Zhou Guo said: "About an hour or so."
"so long?"
"As for stewing soup, it tastes better if it is stewed for a long time."
The soup is not ready yet, but the braised turtle is ready, and the cannonball meat in the yard will also take a while to cook.
She went to the mountain to pick some eggplants and leeks, planning to roast them.
