"Pfft."
Lin Zhou couldn't help but laugh as he watched the dogs' battle.
Then, patting Da Bao's head reassuringly, he said impartially, "There are plenty of them, plenty of duck butts."
We've sold so many roast ducks, but we've never had a customer ask for a duck's butt.
They cut it all up and fed it to the dog.
The first batch of ducks has already gone into the oven.
Lin Zhou turned around and went back into the farm to wash his hands before starting to process the next batch of ducks.
Standing by the pool, I transformed into a ruthless gutting machine, gently slicing open the duck's body with a single cut, removing its intact internal organs, rinsing it clean, setting it aside, and then moving on to the next duck.
One worker was responsible for killing the ducks, and two others were responsible for scalding and processing the feathers.
By the time it reached Lin Zhou, the duck was already clean and intact, just like a production line operation.
In less than twenty minutes, Lin Zhou returned to the stall with the inflated duck and began scalding its skin.
Boiling water was kept on the stove, and the ducks were placed on it and scalded repeatedly. They were then hung on an iron rack and brushed with glaze.
Then comes the process of waiting for it to dry.
Let's check how well the roast duck is cooked in the oven.
Diners lined up, their excitement visibly heightened by the aroma of roast duck wafting from the oven.
Seeing that Lin Zhou wasn't so busy anymore, the diners in front of them realized they had forgotten something.
"Mr. Lin, is there a purchase limit?"
Lin Zhou glanced at the number of people queuing up, then at the target number of the mission, and nodded without hesitation.
With so many people, we definitely need to impose purchase limits.
"Ah, there were no purchase limits yesterday! I knew it!"
"Sigh, I'm used to it. They always have to limit purchases whenever there are a lot of people."
One per person?
There were probably only a hundred or so people there, so one per person would be enough.
Lin Zhou nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
"Ah! One for each person! My goodness, I was prepared to eat half or a quarter of one each, but we're eating one each! How are we going to finish this? Boss Lin, I love you to death!"
Lin Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "You prefer roast duck."
"Hahahaha, Mr. Lin is still the most clear-headed. It's not enough to just say you love me while staring at the oven. That's too fake. Mr. Lin, I really love you. Can you sell me two?"
"Get lost, I think Da Bao learned this from you guys, he's really cunning."
"Good lad, you even hid it. Your voice wasn't like this when you were talking to us just now."
"Tsk tsk, what a cunning man."
......
Mr. Yang, the owner of the farmhouse restaurant, was just about to finish roasting the first batch of ducks in Linzhou.
His agritainment business has been booming these past few days.
The Peking duck banquet has earned its reputation in the industry solely through its quality, attracting many diners.
Remembering what Lin Zhou had said about only selling it for a week, he still wanted to try and negotiate.
Even if he didn't set up a stall at the farm, he didn't know if it was possible to buy roast ducks every day, so he decided to come and ask.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw that the stalls, which usually didn't have many people, suddenly had long queues.
Mr. Yang immediately had a bad feeling.
Why are there so many more customers all of a sudden?
Will he still be able to order forty roast ducks?
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Mr. Yang approached Lin Zhou's stall and found Lin Zhou brushing the ducks with a skin-cleansing solution, then asked him a question.
"Master Lin, can I still order forty roast ducks today?"
Mr. Yang is now regretting not booking in advance!
If he can't buy roast duck, he definitely won't be able to hold his roast duck feast today.
"There are too many people, so each person is limited to one purchase."
My bad feeling came true.
Mr. Yang was stunned on the spot.
Previously, there weren't many customers, so there were no purchase limits and no need to queue; you just had to wait for the duck to be roasted.
Now there are not only purchase limits, but it's also possible that you won't be able to buy it at all.
Besides, with so many people queuing up, even if he manages to buy one roast duck, it won't be enough. He wouldn't be willing to use it for business; he'd definitely keep it for himself.
"You said before that you would only sell roast duck for a week, so you won't be setting up your stall tomorrow?"
The regular diners who had been listening intently to the two began to listen carefully as well.
"Yes, today is the last day."
"Can I still order roast duck from you later? Even if you don't set up a stall here, I can pick it up every day!"
Mr. Yang still didn't want to give up on this big opportunity and wanted to try again.
"I probably won't be making roast duck anymore, sorry."
Lin Zhou refused again.
Without any preparation, Mr. Yang's money-making plan only lasted a few days, and the limited-time roast duck banquet came to an end.
"I see."
After receiving Lin Zhou's answer, and seeing so many diners in the room, Mr. Yang still wanted to give it a try, so he walked up to the diners in front of him.
"Hello, I'm the owner of the farmhouse restaurant up ahead. Can I buy your roast duck? I can invite you to my farmhouse for free, or you can pay extra. Are you interested?"
With the first batch of roast ducks about to be ready, Boss Yang was itching to buy them all.
If he had known there would be so many guests today, he definitely wouldn't have dawdled; he would have arrived at the farmhouse early and started queuing up.
Or maybe they made arrangements yesterday but simply forgot!
"Sorry, there's only one duck per person, not even enough for myself, so we're not selling."
"Boss, it won't work. We all came from Jiangdong, just for this roast duck. So no matter how much money you offer, it's impossible for us to sell it to you."
“You’re a businessman too. We won’t sell roast duck at a normal price unless you offer a lot of money, a price that’s hard to refuse. But then it’s not worth it for you, so…”
