Chapter 309: Cured Duck Porridge
After hearing this, Yuyu couldn't help but shrink her neck, frowned slightly and said, "That's true. It's quite cold now. When it snows, it will probably be even colder outside. By then, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to go out and see the green. I can only stay indoors and warm myself by the fire."
Xiaoyu smiled and patted Yuyu's shoulder, comforting her, "Silly girl, it's a bit cold, but winter has its advantages. When it snows, the snow scene will be so beautiful, a vast expanse of white, so clean and refreshing. Besides, it's warm in our house, so you can look at the snow outside from the window, which is a unique view."
Li Hao also echoed: "Yes, sister, even though the snow is gone, we can still have snowball fights and build snowmen. It's so much fun. Our family can go out and play together and have a lot of fun. We won't feel cold at all."
Yuyu imagined the scenes of snowball fights and snowmen. Her eyes gradually lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said, "Hearing you say that, it seems that winter can be quite fun. I'm really looking forward to the snow. We must have some fun when it snows."
Xiaoyu and Lihao smiled at each other, and Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Of course, when it snows, we'll have a good time. This way, we can have a lively winter."
As they talked, the three of them stood in the yard for a while, feeling the unique atmosphere of winter. Although there were gusts of cold wind, their hearts were full of anticipation and longing for winter life.
Xiaoyu patted her clothes and said, "Okay, let's go back and cook some cured duck porridge."
When Yuyu heard about cooking cured duck porridge, her eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly. She turned around and walked into the house, muttering, "I haven't had cured duck porridge for a long time. I'm craving it just thinking about it. I have to hurry up."
Xiaoyu also had a smile on her face. She quickened her pace and followed behind, saying as she walked, "This cured duck porridge needs to be cooked carefully so that the aroma of the cured duck can be blended into the porridge. That's when it's really delicious. You guys can wait and taste it."
Li Hao couldn't wait any longer. He strode into the house and volunteered, "Mom, let me help light the fire. The stronger the fire, the faster the porridge will cook. I can't wait to drink the hot and fragrant cured duck porridge."
As he spoke, Li Hao began to fiddle with the stove skillfully. After a while, red flames lit up in the stove, illuminating the expectant faces of the three people.
Xiaoyu was carefully processing the cured duck, cutting it into small pieces, taking out the rice and washing it clean, and preparing the ingredients for cooking porridge in an orderly manner.
Yu Yu was not idle either, helping to pass things here and there, and from time to time asked Xiao Yu how to make the cured duck porridge, as if she wanted to remember the skill firmly.
The whole house was gradually filled with the aroma of cured duck porridge. The tempting smell wafted away with the hot steam, making the three of them more eager for this delicious cured duck porridge to come out of the pot quickly, so as to comfort their taste buds that had been craving for a long time.
After hearing Xiaoyu's words, Yuyu couldn't help but move closer to the pot and peered at the porridge still boiling inside. The aroma filled her nose. She swallowed and muttered, "Mom, this cured duck porridge looks so tempting, and the smell makes me want to wait. How long will it take to cook?"
Xiaoyu smiled and gently patted Yuyu away, not letting her get too close. She said, "Why are you in such a hurry, girl? This cured duck porridge needs to be cooked slowly to let the flavor of the cured duck seep into the porridge thoroughly. Only when it's cooked to the right temperature will the flavor be mellow. I guess it will take a while, so just be patient and wait."
Li Hao, who was standing nearby, couldn't sit still either because of the aroma. He came over and joked, "Sister, I see you're almost ravenous. Haha, but mom is right. Good porridge takes time to cook. Let's just be patient. It'll be really satisfying when we eat it later."
Yu Yu pouted helplessly and sat back on the stool, but her eyes still glanced at the pot from time to time. Her impatient look made Xiao Yu and Li Hao laugh, but even so, they could only continue to wait, hoping that the cured duck porridge would be cooked soon so that they could enjoy it.
Although it was cold, there were still many people in Zuixianlou at night. After Cheng Chumo sent Cheng Yaojin away, he and Qin Huaidao were guarding Zuixianlou again. Now they suddenly smelled the aroma of the cured duck porridge. The smell drifted over slowly with the wind and went straight into their noses.
Cheng Chumo couldn't help but sniff, looking surprised. He turned to Qin Huaidao and said, "Brother Huaidao, do you smell it? What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant? It seems to be coming from nearby. It makes me hungry just by smelling it."
Qin Huaidao also sniffed hard and nodded, "Indeed, this smell is so tempting. I guess someone is making something delicious. It's so cold, and smelling such a delicious smell makes me feel even hungrier."
The two exchanged glances, each seeing curiosity and greed in the other's eyes. Cheng Chumo stood up and looked a few times in the direction of the aroma. Unfortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so he said to Qin Huai, "How about we follow this smell and try it? Maybe we can find something new and delicious. It's so cold, and it would be so comfortable to have a bite of something hot and fragrant."
Qin Huaidao immediately became interested and responded, "Okay, let's go and take a look. This smell is almost taking my soul away. If we really find it, we have to taste it to see what it is."
As they spoke, the two of them wrapped their cloaks tightly and followed the aroma of the cured duck porridge, walking in that direction. The cold wind was blowing all the way, but they were full of anticipation for the source of the aroma, so they didn't feel cold.
When Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao heard that Yuyu was cooking porridge, they couldn't help but smile at each other and hurried into the backyard. Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Yuyu, the smell of this cured duck porridge has wafted from far away and it has aroused our appetite. We know it must be delicious just by smelling it."
Qin Huaidao also echoed: "Yes, Yuyu, it's so cold outside, and the fragrance wafting outside is simply captivating. The two of us followed the smell and found the right place."
Yuyu looked at them with a smile on her face. She stirred the porridge in the pot gently with a spoon and said, "Haha, you two have really good noses. The porridge is almost done. Let it simmer for a while longer, and you can try it later. I guarantee you'll want more after you eat it."
Cheng Chumo rubbed his hands together, and approached the pot with anticipation. Looking at the bubbling porridge, he said, "I can hardly wait just by smelling it. Yuyu, your cooking skills are always excellent. Today's cured duck porridge will surely be no bad either."
Qin Huaidao also nodded continuously, staring at the pot, swallowing his saliva greedily: "That's right, Yuyu, it's so cold, and drinking a bowl of hot cured duck porridge like this, it would be so comfortable, it's really a treat."
Soon, Yuyu felt that the food was cooked enough, so she turned off the fire and said to them with a smile, "Okay, now we can eat. Go get some bowls and try this freshly cooked cured duck porridge."
When Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao heard this, they hurried to get the bowls. They looked so anxious as if they were afraid that the porridge would be snatched away by someone else, which made Yuyu laugh again.
