Lin Zhou has already started roasting the third batch of roast ducks.

Business was better than he had expected; he had thought this place was remote and there wouldn't be much business.

Unexpectedly, the farmhouses next door became the main source of customers.

It takes forty to fifty minutes to roast a duck.

The time he spent waiting was the time he would slack off.

Lin Zhou took out his phone and started watching videos.

Enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

......

Inside the farm, it was almost seven o'clock. Ding Chao said goodbye to his employees, then took the half-eaten Nanjing roast duck and the whole Peking duck and headed home.

His home is in a nearby village.

The distance is less than two kilometers. I go to work at the farm and go home to rest after get off work. My life is very stable, going back and forth between two points.

At home, the child had already finished school and was doing his homework, with his wife sitting beside him.

Dad is cooking in the kitchen, and Mom is washing clothes in the yard.

Hearing the sound of his car returning, everyone peeked out to take a look.

"You're back. You're back early today."

Ding Chao usually serves the food but doesn't necessarily plan to come back.

"I bought roast duck. It's going to be a great dish tonight. You should all try it."

"Alright, let's serve the food and eat."

Dad took the roast duck from the kitchen, and seeing that it was neatly packaged in a box, he didn't replate it but put it directly on the table.

"Time to eat. Do your homework after you finish eating."

The roast duck has a rich aroma; the aroma immediately wafts out as soon as the bag is opened.

The family members sat down at the dining table one after another. The child looked at the two large roast ducks on the table and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"

"You bought the roast duck in the city? It looks really good."

A good roast duck is attractive just by looking at its appearance. The straight, glossy skin wraps around the tender duck meat, unlike the wrinkled skin of ordinary roast ducks.

You can tell from the look that it's roasted to a very crispy texture; you can even hear a crispy sound when you tap the skin of the roast duck with chopsticks.

"I bought it at the entrance of the farm."

"Huh? Why are there roast ducks for sale at the entrance of a farm?"

His wife didn't react for a moment, but then she picked up a piece of roast duck soaked in braising sauce and ate it, completely forgetting what she had just asked!

The skin of the roast duck, soaked in the red braising sauce for so long, was already somewhat wilted, forming a stark contrast with the crispy skin of the Peking duck next to it.

While Peking duck has a tastier skin, Nanjing roast duck's meat is even more flavorful because it's soaked in braising liquid.

It has a thin, chewy skin with very little subcutaneous fat, and the meat is tender yet firm.

The juices were incredibly flavorful, and the duck meat absorbed them perfectly, making for a wonderful experience to chew large chunks in your mouth.

It has a flavor that gets better the more you chew it.

A good roast duck must be roasted and eaten immediately. However, some cities do not allow roasting to be done on the spot, so many roast duck restaurants serve cold ducks. They then heat up the braising sauce, and a spoonful of piping hot braising sauce will raise the temperature of the roast duck, making it taste better.

"It's delicious!"

My wife finished hers in one bite, then quickly put two pieces in the bowls of my parents-in-law and the children, urging everyone to try some.

This smells really good.

The aroma of the duck, the fragrance of the braising liquid, the charcoal and fruitwood scent of the roasted duck, and other fragrances all come together, making it no exaggeration to say that the aroma can travel for miles.

Seeing his family members eating heartily with juicy mouths and happy smiles on their faces, Ding Chao was also very happy.

"It's a bit late tonight, let's buy a few more tomorrow and give two to my father-in-law and brother-in-law. This roast duck stall is right at the entrance of our farm, and the ducks they sell are from our farm. These freshly slaughtered ducks are so juicy when roasted, they're completely different from the roast ducks at regular braised food shops."

Ding Chao ate the white rice with a spoonful of braising sauce, then shoveled a big mouthful of the roast duck into his mouth, thoroughly enjoying it.

"Okay, what time do you set up your stall? Your farm is busy, I'll buy from you tomorrow."

The wife nodded, very pleased that her husband had prepared something delicious, showing he hadn't forgotten his family's traditions.

The tone of voice was incredibly considerate.

"I think I arrived around 5 o'clock, but I don't know the exact time. I was herding ducks on the back hill when I smelled the aroma of roast duck coming out of the oven. You guys couldn't have smelled it; it smelled absolutely amazing."

The family ate and chatted, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

......

On the other side, Ms. Wu's family also bought roast ducks and delivered them out one by one.

Before the family even got home, they received messages from family and friends.

Everyone was asking where to buy the roast duck, saying it was delicious.

Ms. Wu replied to each of them one by one, sending them their addresses.

By the time they got home, they had already eaten their fill of roast duck.

We didn't even need to eat dinner; we just continued talking about roast duck.

"It's so delicious! We had all the leftovers from the dishes we cooked tonight, so we ate the whole roast duck. They want me to go over and bring one back tomorrow after get off work."

Ms. Wu was overjoyed when she saw the message from her best friend.

"Then could you bring one for me too? I have to go to work tomorrow, so I don't think I'll have time to go."

"No problem, I've never had such delicious roast duck before. It's definitely worth the price."

"I heard from the guy selling roast duck that it was made from fresh ducks bought from the farm next door. Fresh ducks definitely taste different from frozen ducks."

Ms. Wu thought that the roast duck stall was next to a farm, and at the time she was so focused on the roast duck that she didn't think anything of it.

Looking back, it's quite interesting. The ducks were bought fresh and immediately made into roast duck, emphasizing freshness.

At the farmhouse restaurant, roast duck is a popular dish for dinner.

Seeing tables full of customers, each ordering more than they could finish, and then packing up another portion to take away when they left.

Mr. Yang was so happy that he forgot about his other business and drove to Lin Zhou's stall.

We were just in time for the third batch of roast ducks to come out of the oven.

"Oh dear, what a perfect opportunity!"

As soon as Mr. Yang got out of the car, he saw Lin Zhou taking out roast ducks one by one.

"Master, I'll take all twenty of these from this batch!"

Seeing his generous and eager manner, Lin Zhou knew that the agritainment business must be doing very well.

Lin Zhou was delighted that the agritainment business owner used him as a source of supplies, which led to the sale of so many roast ducks.

Anyway, he stopped after selling 500, and what happened after that was none of his business.

"Okay, I'll put the whole thing in a box and pack it up for you?"

"Okay, whatever's convenient for you. Your roast duck is amazing! Ever thought about coming to my farmhouse to specialize in roast duck? You name your salary!"

Boss Yang waved his hand and looked at Lin Zhou expectantly.

That affection for talent couldn't be hidden.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou paused in his packing.

He smiled helplessly and said, "I don't like the feeling of being restricted at work. I only sell roast duck for one week. It's just a personal hobby."

ah?

The agritainment business owner, who had been overly idealistic, was a little taken aback by these simple and unpretentious remarks.
