Chapter 239 Selling Ducks
"Auntie, I smelled the delicious food coming from your house from far away. I'm so hungry. What delicious food did you make? I just came over and saw so many people in your yard, so I went back, hehe."
"Liu Qing, my family did make delicious food, but you came at the wrong time. We have just finished eating. Please wait a little longer. We will make more tomorrow. You can come and try it then."
"Okay, then I'll go out and play with my third brother."
After Yang Liuqing finished speaking, Zhou Laosan just came out of the house to get clothes.
"Okay, go play, and remember to come back when it's time for dinner."
"understood."
"This guy doesn't stay at home. He just runs out every day."
Zhou Mingshu no longer cared about what was happening in the yard. He fetched a basin of water, went into the room to wash himself, and then fell on the bed to rest.
She crossed her legs and thought about what happened today.
Once the Yuanshan Iron Mine begins to be developed, it will inevitably destroy the local vegetation.
I don’t know whether there are mushrooms and acorns to pick up.
However, this will drive local development.
I don’t know how they recruit miners and guards...and how they arrange their food and accommodation!
If she becomes this 'contractor', she will make a fortune!
Gee!
She will keep a close eye on the news in this regard. This good business cannot be missed.
Early the next morning, the ducks in Old Zhou's family started quacking.
It turned out that Boss Zhou and his men were preparing to kill ducks.
"Uncle, are you planning to set up a stall today?" Isn't that a bit too hasty?
"Let's try it today. Don't kill too many. Kill five or six first. These ducks are kept in the backyard and quack a lot. They eat a lot. No matter how much food we have at home, it won't be enough for them to eat."
Boss Zhou was right. Zhou Mingshu had not realized this problem before. Raising such a group of ducks does consume a lot of food.
"Yes, then why not kill a few more, give one to Auntie and Uncle Chen, and keep two for our family. Since we are in this business, we must not let our own people suffer a loss, haha."
This roast duck has just been made, and everyone in the family hasn’t had enough of it yet.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhou Mingshu went to the duck pen, selected a few of the right weight and caught them. He kept the small ones and raised them until they were heavy enough before killing them.
Zhou Mingshu took out the bag specially used for duck down and put it aside.
"Dad, uncle, remember to put the down from the duck into this pocket. Only the soft ones are needed. Discard the hard ones."
"My daughter, can you save these duck downs to make clothes?" Zhou Laoer expressed doubt about his daughter's idea.
"Dad, don't worry, it will definitely work! Save some money and make cotton-padded clothes for you. Winter won't be so cold."
Seeing his daughter's confident face, Zhou Laoer smiled and chose to believe it.
It would be best if it could be done. If not, he would buy ready-made clothes for his daughter. There were many beautiful clothes in the clothing stores in the county town. His daughter would definitely look good in them.
Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er bled and killed all the ducks, then propped them up and weighed them down one by one with bamboo sticks.
The remaining duck hearts, duck necks, etc. were left at home.
It was already mid-morning at this time, and there was food in between.
"Boss, how are you going to eat lunch? You should wait until after lunch."
"Mom, let's go now. There are still two bowls of soup left from this morning. The second child and I can have one bowl each."
How could Old Mrs. Zhou bear to see her sons go hungry, so she packed a few more steamed buns and a dish of mushroom sauce for them.
"If you're hungry, just heat it up in the hanging stove and eat it for now."
The two brothers drove the donkey cart to the town.
Because it takes at least half an hour to roast the duck, the fire was lit after the stove was moved into the car.
As the car moves, the stove on it is heating.
In short, the fragrance is all the way ~
Every time I passed a village, the dogs in the village would follow me for a mile.
By the time we arrived in town, the ducks in the car had all been roasted.
It was dinner time, so Boss Zhou went to Mr. Chen's Baicaotang first and gave him a duck.
"Mr. Chen, it will taste better if you cut some green onions. I sprinkled the seasoning on it in advance. Please eat it. We just got here and will send another one to your aunt."
Boss Zhou didn't stay for long and immediately got on the donkey cart and left.
Mr. Chen took the money from the counter and the only thing left on the road was the aroma of roast duck.
Oh, I have to say, it smells really good!
Hurry, he has to go back and taste it.
Boss Zhou drove along the road, attracting people on both sides of the road to watch.
"What are you selling? Why does it smell so good?"
"I don't know! This may be eaten by our family. I don't know whose family is so lucky to have such a good meal?"
"If this is for sale, I'll have to get some to taste."
"Yes, it smells so good. I just ate and now I feel hungry again."
Boss Zhou parked the car in front of Old Chen's house. Old Mrs. Chen and Old Man Chen were having lunch in the house.
When I looked up, I saw my nephew standing at the door holding...something...
"Aunt, uncle, I'm here to bring you some roast duck. It's a new dish we just developed. You can try it."
"Hey, why are you selling them for money? If we want to eat them, we will get them from your stall."
"You take it, it's delicious. I just gave one to Mr. Chen. Eat it while it's hot. The second brother and I are going to walk around the street. It's dinner time now, so the time is just right. The second brother and I will go quickly."
"Okay, you guys have had lunch now, if not you can have something at my place."
"No, we've taken them. We won't be back later. We'll leave once we've sold them."
Boss Zhou ignored everything and just pulled the donkey cart away.
As soon as we got out of the alley, we started shouting, "Hot roast duck! Crispy and delicious roast duck! Come and take a look."
Zhou Laoer opened the lid of the hanging stove, and the aroma of the roast duck could not be covered up.
Passersby on the road stretched their necks to see what was in the stove. Why did it smell so good that even the street snacks pale in comparison?
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, take a look. This is our newly developed roast duck. One roast duck costs twenty-four cents. You can also buy half a duck and try it. It is chopped up and sprinkled with our special seasoning. It is spicy and fragrant."
"I know you. You are the boss who sells jelly and braised meat. Give me one. Ever since you stopped selling jelly, everything we eat tastes bland."
"Okay, hold it. This is our new food. If you like it, we will open the stall again later."
Boss Zhou was very enthusiastic to help the big sister who was taking care of the business pick out a bigger duck. After chopping it all up, he sprinkled it with chili and cumin seasoning, which made the duck smell even more fragrant.
The elder sister couldn't help but go home and eat more, so she picked up a duck leg and put it in her mouth on the spot.
