Chapter 113 Duck goods
Finally, after discussing it, the two decided to ask for another 10,000 sheep, 5,000 cattle, 2,000 horses, 20 chests each of jade and agate, 1 million taels of gold and silver, and many other local specialties.
Finally, Liang Rong rushed off in a hurry, wanting to quickly deliver the proposed conditions back to the other party.
The longer these prisoners stayed, the more food they got.
Their own soldiers are almost out of food, so where would they find food to feed them?
If it weren't for the fear of starving everyone to death, I wouldn't have been willing to give them a single bite to eat.
We should get these prisoners away as soon as possible.
As soon as Su Yue and the others left, they went to check on the kitchen where the women were still busy.
Qiaoxiang and Qiaoyun fried several more basins of radish balls.
Qiaoxia also made several bowls of purple rice cakes, purple rice pancakes, pumpkin pancakes, and red bean pancakes, all of which were pan-fried until golden brown on both sides.
Su Yue genuinely felt that these young maids were capable; they knew what Su Yue liked to eat, so they would make extra of it and wait for her to take it away.
She didn't stand on ceremony and went to the kitchen, taking the basin and all to the storage room in the space.
Su Yue really wanted to keep these three maids by her side in the future. Not only were their cooking delicious and varied, but they were also very capable. They were truly pleasing to the eye.
In the future, if the three maids, apart from Dali, do not harbor any rebellious intentions, then it is highly likely that Su Yue will keep them by her side forever.
The next thing to watch is how these three young maids behave afterward.
At this moment, Qiaoxia smiled and said to Su Yue, "My Lady Immortal, if there is anything else you would like to eat, please feel free to tell us."
"We'll definitely learn how to cook for you properly." As she spoke, Qiaoxia's hands never stopped moving.
After a moment's thought, Su Yue pondered to herself: The number of rabbits, pheasants, and ducks stored in the space is now so large that it's almost an overpopulation problem.
It would be better to take some out and let them cook it into a ready-made meal.
So Su Yue said, "Wait a moment, and I will bring you some live rabbits, chickens, and ducks."
As for the specifics of how to make it, that's up to you! Just let me know when it's finished.
Upon hearing this, Qiaoxiang couldn't help but smile and quickly agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
I'll head to town later to find some people to help skin the rabbit.
When the time comes, these rabbit furs will be perfect for sewing a few rabbit-shaped clothes and cloaks for the Immortal Envoy!
In this way, everything is used to its fullest potential, and there will certainly be no waste.
By the way, I heard you mention before that you wanted to try some so-called 'duck products,' but I wonder if you know the specific recipe?
At this point, Su Yue couldn't help but lick her lips, secretly thinking about those delicious duck meat products.
The more she thought about it, the more her mouth watered: "Oh my, the tender and juicy duck tongue, the spicy and delicious duck head, the chewy duck feet, the crisp and flavorful duck neck, the meaty duck wings, the thick and firm duck legs, and the crisp and chewy duck intestines..."
These parts all need to be processed separately! Later, when a pot of rich and flavorful braising liquid is prepared, they will be added one by one to the pot and slowly braised…
"Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!" Su Yue said, her mind already conjuring up images of those delicious braised dishes.
Qiaoxiang, standing to the side, listened to Su Yue's eloquent explanation and stared in astonishment.
She never imagined that an ordinary duck could be prepared in so many ways.
"My goodness, I never knew a duck could make so many delicious dishes! It's amazing!"
Okay, don't worry, I'll go find a few more quick-handed old women to help later.
"I promise I'll prepare all the ingredients perfectly, so our celestial envoy can just relax and enjoy the meal!" Qiaoxiang confidently assured Su Yue, patting her chest.
Su Yue had great trust in the cooking skills and work abilities of her maids, so she nodded with complete peace of mind.
Then, he took Qiaoxiang to the backyard.
As soon as she stepped into the backyard, Su Yue deftly released the rabbits, pheasants, and ducks she was raising inside the space.
The little animals suddenly moved to a different spot and shivered violently from the cold.
Then they started chattering and giggling, and the whole backyard became lively and bustling in no time.
Qiaoxiang was a little flustered by the sudden release of so many animals, but seeing that they weren't running around much except for making noise, she ignored Su Yue.
He ran to the kitchen, called Qiaoyun out to watch over the backyard, and then ran out to find someone to help clean up.
In less than half an hour, Qiaoxiang found six nimble-handed and seemingly honest old women, as well as two old men who looked to be in their fifties.
Soon the backyard was bustling with activity. Hot water was constantly being brought from the kitchen to the backyard, and the old woman deftly began to kill chickens and ducks, scald their skins, and pluck their feathers.
The two old men worked together seamlessly, one skinning the rabbit and the other processing the skin.
Su Yue watched as others busied themselves, and didn't want to stand there in the cold wind.
He ate something quick in the kitchen and then went back to his room to cultivate.
Dali helped with the fire and fetching hot water in the kitchen, and she almost felt a sense of accomplishment from it, so she was unwilling to go out and play.
Once she sat down to cultivate, she realized how incredibly slow things were outside. But she wasn't in a hurry. She couldn't always cultivate in the space; what if she used up all the spiritual energy there?
Su Yue was still a little worried. It was better to be slower outside than to have nothing at all.
However, she felt that cultivating outside was more solid than cultivating in the space.
I don't know if it's my imagination.
Once I sat down, I forgot about time.
The backyard was bustling with activity. The old women didn't dare to slack off. The person who asked them to help said that as long as they worked hard, they would each receive two hundred coins and a chicken after the job was done.
When these people heard that they would not only receive money but also chickens, they were so happy they almost jumped for joy.
That's chicken! They haven't eaten meat in ages. Even when the celestial envoy distributed meat on New Year's Day, they couldn't bear to eat it all at once. They would only cut off a little bit at a time, just to taste the meat.
If we gave them another chicken, it would be enough for them to eat little by little many times over.
For the sake of a chicken, they didn't care about talking and worked incredibly hard, afraid that someone would find fault with them and refuse to give them the chicken.
There are plenty of old women watching them. If they don't do a good job and get kicked out, it would be embarrassing, not to mention the loss of face.
Where else can you find such a good job? There are so many people outside waiting to snatch it up.
