At about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhu Jiujie and Fatty and Thin Er left the Peony Hotel, and the three of them staggered down the street.
"The food we ate today was... really enjoyable." Shou Er burped as he walked.
"Brother Zhu, is there any nice... fun place you can take us to?" Pang Da was also very drunk.
Although Zhu Jiujie was not drunk, he brought a lot of wine.
"You two, you haven't had enough trouble yet, okay, go back quickly."
"It's still early." Thin Er rolled his eyelids and looked around: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a drunkard?"
A passerby was yelled at by Shou Er. Although the passerby didn't know that he was a ghost, he didn't want to be like a drunkard and laughed away.
Fatty laughed loudly: "Slender Er, you...how did you tell the truth?"
Shou Er said: "I don't... don't believe it at all."
The three of them walked along the street for a while, and when they approached the entrance of Guangming Community, Shou Er's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the image of roast duck printed on the sign of a shop and shouted happily: "Pang Da, roast... roast duck, I am."
I want to eat roast duck.”
Fatty laughed and said: "Slender Er, you know how to eat, aren't you full yet?"
"But... this is delicious roast duck." Shou Er touched his round belly and walked to the roast duck restaurant.
The shop owner was about to close the door when he saw three customers coming and asked hurriedly: "Do you want to buy roast duck?"
Shou Er said: "Is your roast duck good...is it delicious?"
The shop owner said: "Of course it's delicious. This is the authentic tribute roast duck."
"The authentic ones...must be...delicious. Can you give me two to try?"
"Try it? Brother, do you want to buy it or not?"
The shop owner said to himself: If you try one, you will get two.
Zhu Jiujie said hurriedly: "Boss, these two friends of mine drank too much. Don't mind, we won't buy it."
Shou Er said: "Brother Zhu, who said we won't buy it? We must...must buy it. Roast duck...roast duck is so delicious."
Fatty whispered: "Slender Er, haven't you been embarrassed enough in the hotel? You need money to buy roast duck. Do you have it?"
Thin Eryi stayed.
Fatty continued: "Didn't Brother Zhu tell us just now? If you want to come and play with him, you must abide by the order of this city. You must pay for meals and pay for clothes."
"But we have no money, what should we do?"
Pang Da took a glance and saw a wooden board placed at the door of the store, with a recruitment notice written on it.
"Hey, shop owner, are you looking for workers here?"
The shop owner said: "Yes."
Shou Er came over and said with a smile: "Then let's recruit them."
"You...you are so old, what can you do?"
"Hey, don't look down on others. We are in good shape. This is Dr. Zhu. Ask him if we are strong."
As he said this, Shou Er held his head high and patted his chest.
Zhu Jiujie said: "It's true, boss, you don't have to worry about their physique, no work will tire them out."
The shop owner said: "I only work night shift here and don't work during the day."
"That's great." Shou Er hugged the store owner's neck and took a bite: "What a flawless job."
The shop owner looked at them and said to himself: It seems that these people have drunk too much.
"But the salary won't be too much..."
"It doesn't matter, just take care of the food. We have a lot of appetite."
"Of course I'll take care of the food, and I'll make sure you have a full belly every meal."
With that said, Shou Er pulled Pang Da into the store and waved to Zhu Jiujie: "Brother Zhu, go home and accompany your sister-in-law. We'll start working."
Zhu Jiujie shook his head and said to himself: It's better for them to stay in the store, so as not to run around and cause trouble. Thinking of this, Zhu Jiujie said to the store owner: "Boss, these two friends of mine have weird personalities. They are from far away."
I’m from here and I’m not familiar with some social customs, so please bear with me.”
"It doesn't matter, there are some elderly people in my family too." The shop owner secretly said: These two old guys looked like fools at first sight, so I just counted the bills for them and sent them away.
Thinking of this, the store owner said to the thin man and the fat man: "Come with me and get familiar with the work."
When he came to the processing room at the back, Shou Er immediately jumped for joy and saw shelves full of ducks.
"Duck, I want to eat duck." Shou Er licked his lips, looking like he couldn't hold himself back.
Fatty slapped him on the head: "I know how to eat it. This is raw, not roasted yet."
The shop owner said: "To make tribute roast duck, you must first check the purchase. The purchased feathered ducks should be about the same weight. Then they will be slaughtered and bled, soaked in water at about 70 degrees for a few minutes, and then the fur will be removed.
Then soak it in a basin of cold water, disembowel the duck, clean the inside and outside, shape the breastbone and thighs, boil the soup, add ginseng, cinnamon, 16-20 (percent), wolfberry, amomum villosum, lotus seeds, angelica,
Season with poria, cardamom, tangerine peel and other traditional Chinese medicines, keep boiling water for one to two hours, take out the duck, apply honey water, put it in the oven, take it out of the oven after a few minutes, then apply sesame oil and serve... In short, craftsmanship
It’s very complicated, so you should be responsible for the slaughtering and hair removal process.”
After saying that, the shop owner yawned and went back to the lounge.
The business of the Gongzi Roast Duck Restaurant has always been very good. The owner of the restaurant is busy until midnight every night and receives customers during the day. He can finally have a good sleep tonight.
The shop owner fell asleep quickly as soon as his head hit the pillow. He slept until six in the morning.
The shop owner got up and said: Oh, why did you sleep so hard? Oh, I understand, with those two silly old men working, I must have relaxed my mind.
Thinking of this, the shop owner came to the processing room at the back, looked up, and couldn't help complaining. It turned out that not only was the room full of duck feathers, but almost none of the ducks that had shed their feathers were clean, or there were a few strands left on their thighs.
Either there was a clump left in the neck, or the wings had not faded, or the buttocks were intact. What was even more intolerable to the shop owner was that all the roast duck he had just cooked turned into bones.
Look at Fatty and Skinny Er again, sleeping soundly with their round bellies.
"You...you...are so angry with me. Get up, all of you."
Fatty and Thin Er opened their eyes.
"It's broken, Fatty, it's going to be daybreak."
"Yes, Shou Er, we have to leave right away."
"Let's go, where are you going? You...you have eaten my roast duck."
"Boss, didn't you agree to make sure we have a good meal?"
With that said, Fatty and Thin Er laughed and left the processing room.
