When Xu Xiufang heard this, her eyes landed on the duck skulls.
“Does this duck skull really taste that good?”
“Sigh, just try it!” Old Madam Jin said with a smile.
When Li Xiaoran heard the two old ladies’ conversation, she was immediately amused.
“Granny, try it! Speaking of which, Granny Jin is also a foodie! Although this duck skull doesn’t look like it has much meat, it tastes good! When you put this bone in your mouth and chew on it, the taste will immediately come out!”
When Xu Xiufang heard this, she no longer hesitated. She quickly took out a duck skull and ate it.
The duck skull was very delicious and the skin on the bones melted with a chew. Then, they tasted the spicy flavor.
This thing was very delicious, especially for old people like them!
“As expected, duck skulls are the best!” Xu Xiufang said with satisfaction.
When Zhao Huaishan heard this, he quickly took a duck skull and ate it.
Li Shun didn’t snatch the duck skull, since he liked duck necks more.
Although there was no meat on this duck, it was delicious!
Zhao Xiu liked duck gizzards and duck intestines more, and duck liver was also very delicious.
After Zhao Xiu took a bite, she quickly shared the duck liver.
“Father, Mother, Aunt Jin, this duck liver tastes very good. It’s suitable for people with teeth like yours! Hurry up and try it!”
When the three elders heard this, they quickly put down the duck skull in their hands and picked up a spicy braised duck liver to eat.
This duck liver didn’t have any stench taste after being braised. It was delicious and soft, so it was indeed very suitable for old people.
Luo Cheng. Luo Ziyang. and the other young people in the house weren’t picky
and could eat anything.
They ate the duck feet with relish!
There were also delicious duck wings.
Actually, Li Xiaoran had made spicy braised food before. Even the wine shops in town and White Foothill City sold them.
However, the spicy braised food made by Li Xiaoran tasted much better than the ones made in the wine shop. Luo Cheng was also very curious, so he asked.
“Xiaoran, why do I keep feeling that your braised dishes taste much better?! I’ve tried the braised dishes in restaurants, but they don’t taste as good as yours!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “Regarding cooking, everyone’s talent is different and the people who cook are different, so the taste will also be different. Perhaps your sense of taste is very sensitive and you can tell the difference, but for those who aren’t sensitive to taste, it might be enough!”
Luo Cheng felt that Li Xiaoran was right, so he didn’t say anything else.
They only ate the roasted duck at night.
Li Xiaoqing, Zhao Sisi, and the others were also called over. Then, everyone sat around to taste the rare delicacy.
In the end, all ten roasted ducks were eaten by everyone. There weren’t even any bones left.
Big Yellow and its group of lackeys sat around obediently. Once a piece of meat was thrown out, they would immediately come forward to eat it.
After the meal, Luo Cheng arranged for someone to send everyone back safely.
As for him, he pulled Li Xiaoran to the study.
“Xiaoran, I think Uncle Guan was right previously. The roast duck business has to be in our own hands. This thing tastes too delicious. If we sell it, we can definitely earn a lot of money. Now that our fief is being built, we need money everywhere, so let’s quickly start this business!” Luo Cheng said happily. As the saying went, the lack of money could turn a small problem into a big one.
Luo Cheng had never been so eager to earn money in the past. Now that he needed more manpower and had to plan for the commoners in the fief, he felt that a lot of money had been spent, but very little money had been earned.
Even though the fruit business earned money, they couldn’t make ends meet!
Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was worried about money, so she laughed.
“Since we’re going to do it, let’s do it big! However, if this spicy braised food is released, the business at the wine shop will definitely be affected! ”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “The wine shop mainly sells braised dishes. There are no ducks! As soon as the roasted duck business is started, there will be more ingredients on the ducks. We can make spicy braised ducks to sell!”
Li Xiaoran asked, “That works too? Then there won’t be a big problem! What’s left is the source of the ducks and the construction of the workshop. In addition to these, there’s also the collection of duck fur. We need manpower to do these things. Husband, have you thought of what to do?”
Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, “Tell me what workshop you want to build first!”
“Our workshop will be divided into a few sections. The first workshop will specialize in killing ducks and cleaning ducks. After these ducks are cleaned up, they’ll enter other workshops. For example, those who make roasted duck will enter the roasted duck workshop, those who make pressed ducks will enter the pressed ducks workshop, and those who make salted ducks will enter the salted duck workshop. Those who make sweet-skinned ducks will enter the sweet-skinned duck workshop. We also have to build a spicy braised workshop. In that case, there will be a total of six workshops!” Li Xiaoran calculated.
“No, let’s not build so many workshops first! Let’s build three workshops first. One will clean ducks, the second will make roasted duck, and the third will make spicy braised food. As for the pressed ducks, salted ducks, and sweet-skinned ducks you mentioned, we’ll do them later! We have to take it one step at a time!” Luo Cheng was very clear-headed. After Li Xiaoran said so much, he immediately grasped the main point.
Li Xiaoran felt that she was indeed being a little too impatient, so she nodded. “That’s fine, but we still have to build three workshops!”
“We have to find a place far away from human habitation and with a water source. After we killed ten ducks today, it reeks. If we kill them every day, that smell will be very annoying!” Luo Cheng said worriedly, “But the place where we kill ducks can’t be too far away. Why don’t we build two other workshops as well?”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was a little stunned. Then, she felt that Luo Cheng’s worry wasn’t unreasonable.
“Then let’s see if there’s a suitable place nearby and build all three workshops there! It’s best if that place isn’t far from the surrounding villages and everyone in the village can walk there. This way, it’ll be much easier for us to hire workers!” Li Xiaoran said.
Luo Cheng felt that this was a good idea, so he took out the map and searched carefully..
