After breakfast in the morning, Xiaoguo began to prepare the ducks. She marinated the ducks with salt, five-spiced pepper and ginger slices.
After lunch, she placed the marinated ducks in hot water and blanched them for about 20 seconds. Then, the ducks were pat dry. Xiaoguo poured honey and rice vinegar into a bowl and stirred the mixture before brushing it onto the ducks. After that, the ducks were hung up to dry in a ventilated place. This process was repeated five times.
Her father had taught her this method of making roast duck. It was a taste that their entire family approved of.
Looking at Zhuang Zhuang, who had been jumping around her, Xiaoguo could feel a headache coming on. "Baby, can you promise me something?"
Zhuang Zhuang stopped and looked up at her. "Go on, Mother."
"Can you stop for a while?"
Xiaoguo didn't want to say that, but who could stop the overexcited Zhuang Zhuang?
