Chapter 369 Roast Duck
Chapter 369 Roast Duck
Song Siyan sat next to Shen Nuo and skillfully picked up the fan to fan Shen Nuo.
"Thank you Si Yan, come and eat this noodle, your uncle Yan made it, it's super delicious."
Shen Nuo took another sip of the soup and highly recommended it.
"Okay, Uncle Nono, eat more."
Song Siyan put down his fan before starting to eat.
A mouthful of soup, sour and spicy, children also like it.
The shredded chicken on top is also flavorful, and paired with shredded cucumber and tomatoes, it tastes refreshing and even more fragrant.
Qin Yan also sat next to the two of them and started eating. His cooking skills had been honed very well along the way.
Now, even if it’s a dish he has never cooked before, he can make delicious one by just looking at the recipe and studying it for a while.
Both Shen Nuo and Song Siyan like it very much.
Seeing the two of them eating with their cheeks bulging, Qin Yan felt very satisfied.
After lunch, Shen Nuo took Song Siyan for a walk in their yard.
Song Siyan would tell him interesting things that happened in school.
For example, Xiaobao's handwriting was ugly, he couldn't recite what he read, and he always disturbed Qingwu during class, so Xiaobao was beaten up by Qin Zuo.
And Wang Goudan actually wet his pants in class, and his mother had to come and carry him back home. It was so embarrassing.
"Si Yan is the best behaved one. The teacher even praised Si Yan and said that Si Yan's handwriting is beautiful."
Song Siyan was proud of it. He raised his chin proudly, with a little pride on his face.
Shen Nuo rubbed his head and praised:
"Wow, that Si Yan is really amazing."
Song Siyan scratched his head and blushed:
"Well, it's not that great. It was all taught by Uncle Yan."
"That's amazing, I can't write like that."
Shen Nuo actually just didn't want to practice calligraphy. He didn't have to take an imperial examination, so just knowing how to write was enough. That's why he didn't want to practice calligraphy.
When Qin Yan came out after washing the dishes, he saw two people feeding fish by the pavilion.
Next to the pavilion is a shallow fish pond with dozens of koi fish in it, with beautiful colors.
Shen Nuo comes here every day to feed the fish, and sometimes pours some spiritual spring water down.
The water in the fish pond is all brought down from the mountains. It is very clear and cool, and the fish in it swim happily.
Shen Nuo also placed two turtles here. This kind of turtle can be raised for a long time, and for them, it is just right to keep them as pets.
"Si Yan, start practicing calligraphy."
Qin Yan asked Song Siyan to practice calligraphy in the pavilion every day, and the three of them could stay here for an entire afternoon.
Fortunately, the stone table here is big enough, but even if it is not big enough, Qin Yan will replace it with a bigger one.
Song Siyan quickly adapted to this kind of life. He took out paper and books from his small bag. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
He ground the ink himself skillfully and then spread the paper out flat.
Because he was relatively young, less than six years old, he could only stand on a large rock to reach the table and practice calligraphy normally.
The big stone was also prepared by Qin Yan for him.
Qin Yan always felt that he was raising a son, but it would be soon, so it would be good to practice in advance.
But no matter how much he planned, he didn't expect that Song Siyan was much more obedient than his own child.

The men in Xiucai Village all wanted to set up a school in Yunzhu Village. After they proposed it to the village chief, the villagers all supported it.
Everyone has children, so of course they are happy to have them go to school, even if it means paying for their education.
Qin Liang asked Gu Yun and Zeng Zishun from Xiucai Village to find someone to build a school next to the ancestral hall.
At that time, the children in the village will study in that school.
Gu Yun and the others naturally took on the responsibility of being teachers. There was no special examination this year, and the reason is unknown.
In short, it would take three years before the imperial examination could be taken, which gave them plenty of time to prepare.
Three years later, the people from Xiucai Village and Chu Che will definitely pass the exam, and maybe they will become officials in the future.
That is when they will have to look for a new teacher.
Of course, it would be great if someone is willing to stay and teach.
Shen Nuo had been to the ancestral hall before. The school has already started construction and is expected to be completed in November. The children will be able to start school in the early spring of next year.
He plans to donate a batch of supplies to the school, which will make it easier for the children to study.
Qin Yan had no objection.
"Whatever Nuonuo wants to donate, I'll help take it over when the time comes."
"I think blackboards are still okay. A blackboard can be used for a long time. As for chalk and other things, they can also be made."
Shen Nuo said so, and Qin Yan found a way to do it.
It was impossible for him to do it himself, so he delegated the work to others and let Qin You and others do it.
Yang Xu's oven has been able to bake food these days. It failed several times in the beginning, but then the baking time was gradually reduced.
You can quickly bake delicious bread, or even roast chicken or duck.
That day, he brought a roast duck and a roast chicken.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Nuo smelled the fragrance.
"Brother Nuo, I've brought you some roast duck."
When Shen Nuo heard that it was roast duck, his eyes lit up.
"Really? Then bring it here now, and let me try if it tastes good."
It was afternoon now, and actually I wasn't very hungry, I just felt greedy. Qin Yan helped to put the food on the table.
Song Siyan was practicing calligraphy on the side when he smelled the aroma of roast duck and was instantly attracted.
After all, they are children. No matter how cool they are, they can't help but want to eat.
Yang Xu put the things down and didn't stay for long.
"I still have to go back and see how to make the cake. I'll be leaving now. Enjoy your meal."
Shen Nuo didn't bother to be polite with him and nodded:
"Okay, thanks."
"Don't be polite, eat it while it's hot."
After Yang Xu left, Shen Nuo couldn't wait to taste the roast duck and roast chicken, they were so delicious.
Qin Yan smiled and put the things on the table, then used a knife to slice the roast duck and chopped the roast chicken.
But I still left two chicken legs and duck legs for each of them.
Shen Nuo ate two and gave the remaining one to each of them. Si Yan, a child, couldn't eat so many, so naturally he gave the other one to Qin Yan.
Shen Nuo frowned after taking a bite.
"It's really delicious, even better than what the restaurant makes."
But this is the signature dish of their restaurant. Yang Xu and his friends have already decided that as long as it tastes good, it will become the signature dish of their restaurant.
As for bread and other things, they can be used as staple food or sold directly, which is also the characteristic of their restaurant.
The decoration of the restaurant has already begun, and it is estimated that their restaurant will be open in less than two months.
"Ayan, you should try this too. It tastes even better with plum sauce."
Shen Nuo dipped the duck leg in some plum sauce and brought it to Qin Yan's mouth.
Qin Yan took a bite and found it sour and sweet, which immediately diluted the greasiness of the roast duck. It tasted really good.
