"Hey, how many roast ducks are in your batch?"
The owner of the farmhouse restaurant, smelling the aroma of roasted duck emanating from the oven, swallowed hard and asked.
The tourists who bought roast duck earlier have already started eating it.
This only serves to highlight his pitiful situation, where if he arrived even a moment later, he would have to wait.
With whole roasted ducks hanging there, who could resist a whole roasted duck!
Lin Zhou glanced at the roast ducks and replied, "Twenty."
"I want them all!"
The owner of the breeding farm, who was leisurely playing with the dogs nearby, widened his eyes upon hearing this.
The fact that he doesn't rush to stand in front of the oven doesn't mean he's not worried if the whole batch of roast ducks is booked.
The farm owner went over to take a look and, lo and behold, it was someone he knew.
Isn't this Mr. Yang, the owner of the farmhouse restaurant next door?
"Boss Yang, that's not fair of you! I'm still waiting. If you buy everything, what am I going to eat? I'm still waiting!"
"Hey, Mr. Ding, I didn't see you here. You're here to buy roast duck too? How many do you want?"
"One is fine. I just bought one. You're really well-informed. A roast duck stall just opened near my place, and here you are. How about adding one to your farmhouse restaurant's menu?"
"Absolutely! My guests will definitely love this delicious roast duck."
It has to be said that Mr. Yang is a shrewd businessman. After tasting such delicious roast duck, he didn't think about how much he wanted to eat, but rather about buying it to start a business.
Not everyone knows there's a roast duck stand here.
Lin Zhou watched as the two of them, right in front of him, already arranged the roast duck that was about to be baked.
"Absolutely! You can rest assured about the roast duck; it's a live duck bought from me, so the ingredients are top-notch!"
The farm owner immediately launched into a presentation, even more enthusiastic than Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou stood beside the two, only able to serve as a backdrop in their conversation, occasionally offering a polite smile when they looked over.
I'd better wear a mask for a while, otherwise I'll feel like something's missing.
Ten minutes later, the second batch of roast ducks was ready.
Lin Zhou used a pole to take out the sizzling, oily roasted ducks one by one.
The moment the oven was opened, a rich aroma filled the surrounding area, and Lin Zhou was closest to the oven.
You can also see the scarlet sparks dancing in the stove, carrying a fruity aroma, which is very enchanting.
The roast duck that was taken out was also very beautiful, with drops of duck oil dripping down.
The owner of the farmhouse restaurant's eyes lit up when he saw the cleanly stored duck fat in the groove at the bottom of the stove.
"Master, do you sell this roast duck oil?"
Lin Zhou knew from his conversation with the farm owner that the man ran a farm stay business.
If they ask about duck fat, you don't need to think twice before you know it's for cooking.
"I'll give it to you for free."
Lin Zhou had nowhere to put all that duck fat, so he figured he might as well give it away as a freebie to the diners.
And this is a major client.
He was supposed to sell 500 roast ducks this week, but with this batch, he only sold 39. He ate one himself, so that doesn't count.
"Thank you so much. You're so young, and your roast duck skills are already so good. You're amazing."
The owner of the farmhouse looked at the roast duck that Lin Zhou had just roasted with an incredibly eager gaze.
A roast duck master with such skill is a rare find. If we could recruit him to run his farmhouse restaurant specializing in roast duck, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for his restaurant to become famous?
How much money do you earn in a day?
Lin Zhou: "I haven't calculated it, and I don't make money from this."
The guesthouse owner was speechless, and his prepared remarks suddenly fell flat.
He nodded stiffly, "Very good, very good."
"Um, I'd like the whole duck packed up."
"Okay, do you want the braising sauce and noodles?"
"I want the braising liquid." Shredded scallions and cucumbers are plentiful in the farmhouse vegetable garden. Using their own produce can give them a better reputation and make them more expensive.
Lin Zhou nodded, then covered the freshly taken-out roast duck with a bag to prevent dust, and packed some red braising sauce, and that was it.
Then one was kept for the farm owner.
"Boss, are you still eating this one chopped up?"
"No, I'll have Peking duck instead."
He still had half a chopped duck left. If he brings home another Peking duck, he won't need to cook any meat dishes for dinner; he can just stir-fry two vegetable dishes and have a meal.
The farm owner looked at the time; it was almost time to go home.
"Okay."
The duck was fresh out of the oven and piping hot.
Lin Zhou, wearing gloves, sliced the meat piece by piece.
The cut surfaces of the duck meat were steaming hot and smelled delicious.
It makes people's appetites grow.
“I’ve seen people eat roast duck, specifically the skin, which they dip in white sugar.”
Lin Zhou: "You can eat it like this too. Do you want some? I'll slice some for you."
"No, no, I was just saying. It would be so strange to dip it in white sugar."
Lin Zhou smiled. People from different places have different tastes. It's not that this is bad; it's just a matter of personal preference.
"Actually, it tastes pretty good, you can try it."
When Lin Zhou said this, the farm owner found it very credible.
I hadn't originally intended to try it, but now a sense of curiosity arose within me.
It's not much trouble; everyone has sugar at home.
I'll try it when I get home tonight.
......
On the other side, the owner of the farmhouse returned to the farmhouse with nineteen roast ducks, went straight to the kitchen, handed them to the cook, and put them away.
Then he ran to the lobby and told the waiters to add a special limited-edition dish: roast duck - 288 yuan per serving.
The prices for farm stays are actually not cheap.
The main focus is on self-production and self-sales; all vegetables and ingredients are grown and raised in their own yard.
