Soon, several people completed the registration procedures and boarded the plane. After nearly four hours of flight, the plane landed in Jiangcheng.
After getting off the plane, Li Zhe said directly to several people: "Wait a moment, everyone, I'll drive!"
After saying that, he walked not far outside the airport and found his shabby minivan that he never had to worry about being stolen.
When Li Zhe drove the minivan in front of Liu Mingliang and others, the three of them were stunned by the appearance of the minivan!
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Li Zhe looked a little embarrassed:
"I'm sorry, the car is a little worn out, I'll just take care of it for a while."
Naturally, Liu Mingliang would not look down on Li Zhe just because of the dilapidated van Li Zhe drove.
Just kidding, he had already touched all of Li Zhe's background, so he came forward to the successor of the Li family and personally helped Quan Jude to connect him, so he knew that his background was not simple!
And he also heard that it was rumored that Li Xiaolan, the famous lady of the Li family, was kicked out of the house because she offended the Lord!
"How come? I'm very satisfied just having a car!" Liu Mingliang smiled and got into the van with his secretary and assistant.
Li Zhe said hello, started the engine, and rushed to Lijiaji in the countryside of Jiangcheng.
Although Li Zhe's shabby van was old and shabby, it was small and well-equipped with all the necessary features and functions. There were no seats or windows missing. Liu Mingliang and his party could still see the scenery of Jiangcheng's countryside.
Even with Li Zhe's driving skills, ever since he drove the McLaren given to him by the Chen family a few times, he couldn't slow down at all. He kept driving the old van as if it were a sports car, so fast that it frightened Liu Mingliang and others into feeling bad. .
On country roads, you don't have to worry about ordinary traffic accidents, but for the time being, this minivan is not stubborn enough and it just falls apart!
After being on tenterhooks for half an hour, they were finally driven to Li's home by Li Zhe.
After parking the car, Li Zhe took them directly up the mountain to inspect the quality of the ducks at the breeding farm at Liu Mingliang's request.
Liu Mingliang and others followed Li Zhe. As they walked up the mountain, they gradually became more confident.
Since this breeding farm is built on a mountain, it means that the Jizhe mentioned by Li Zhe should be raised in a free-range way. Otherwise, there is no need to spend a lot of time breeding on the mountain.
Generally speaking, the quality of farm-raised ducks is better than that of intensive farms, and the free-range ducks of farmers are even better than the quality of farm-raised ducks.
What's more, they are free-range in the mountains.
Liu Mingliang sincerely hopes that Li Zhe's duck all-around can reach Quanjude's standards, so as to relieve the recent pressure.
Sure enough, as the few people continued to move forward, Liu Mingliang could soon see some scattered chickens and ducks running around on the mountain.
From his observation, it was certain that Li Zhe's ducks were all free-range. However, what surprised him was that the breeding farm on the mountain was only surrounded by a circle around the outside. There were almost no facilities inside, at least. He hasn't seen it yet.
There is no duck house, hatching room or anything like that! Basically the entire mountain is a breeding farm!
To be honest, Liu Mingliang has never seen such a simple large-scale breeding farm. It is like a mountain family raising three or five ducks. They just put them on the mountain...
This also made Liu Mingliang start to worry about the quality of the duck.
Although the quality of free-range duck meat will be better, it is now recognized in the industry that free-range duck meat must be combined with scientific breeding methods to achieve the best quality of duck meat. It is not a completely natural free-range duck like Li Zhe.
As he continued to go deeper, Liu Mingliang finally got a rough estimate of the number of these chickens and ducks.
The number of ducks alone is nearly 200,000. If they can meet the standards, Quanjude's urgent need will be solved.
Originally, Li Zhe purchased 100,000 chicken and duck seedlings from the beginning. With the addition of the chicks and ducks hatched during this period of more than a month, the number almost doubled.
This is why Li Zhe believes that only large companies like Quanjude can continue to swallow up the duck production in this farm.
Li Zhe took Liu Mingliang and his party around several hills.
During this period, Liu Mingliang and the others were shocked when they saw the wild animals Li Zhe kept in captivity, especially when they saw the big wild boar and his family.
"Holy crap, is that a wild boar?" the male assistant shouted with his eyes widened.
Not to mention the big wild boar. When it was just captured, it brought a litter of cubs with it.
These little wild boar cubs are growing rapidly because they have been drinking spiritual water these days. Although they are not as good as the big wild boar, they are still scary enough, especially the fangs growing next to their mouths are already in their early stages. Show edge.
However, what surprised Liu Mingliang and the others the most were the two humane dogs from Li Zhe's family!
The two dogs, Dahei and Dahuang, can now be said to be the absolute overlords of this mountain forest. Seeing these two big dogs chasing wild boars running all over the mountain, Liu Mingliang and others felt as if they had seen a ghost.
"Just seeing this scene makes our trip worthwhile!" Liu Mingliang said half-jokingly.
As for the quality of the duck, Liu Mingliang feels that it is better to test it in person before he can rest assured. The best way to test the quality of the duck is naturally to taste it in person!
After Liu Mingliang got Li Zhe's consent, he immediately asked his secretary and assistant to catch ducks together.
However, these two young men were busy for a long time and failed to catch one!
"How come these ducks can run faster than rabbits!" the male assistant complained with black lines on his head.
Li Zhe chuckled, thinking that these ducks were fed with spiritual water. They ran so fast that most people couldn't catch them.
In the end, it was Liu Mingliang, an old Jianghu man, who took action personally. As expected, it was an old roast duck master from Quanjude, but it was different. As soon as he took action, he caught the neck of an escaped duck!
The group took the duck and headed straight down the mountain.
Li Zhe led them to his yard, said hello to his parents, and then began to prepare tools for Liu Mingliang.
Naturally, the chefs at Quanjude make roast duck. Some ducks are suitable for stewing soup or beer duck, but they are not necessarily suitable for roast duck.
It's a waste of time to make judgments based on Li Zhe's ideals.
The ducks fed by his spiritual water are enough for the state banquet, but Li Zhe couldn't explain this idea and could only let others try it.
It's just that it's a bit difficult to make roast duck in your own yard. Roast duck requires an oven, but Li Zhe really doesn't know where to get an oven.
Li Weiguo saw Li Zhe fussing around and asked casually. After knowing the problem, he immediately said what is this?
He ran to the village, called a few young and strong young people, and went to the fields to get some mud and some bricks. Under the guidance of Liu Mingliang, an old roast duck master, he quickly built a simple oven!
The conditions in the countryside are simple, and this can only be done. Although it is not as good as the professional ovens in Quanjudli, it is still usable, and Liu Mingliang cannot ask for more.
While Li Weiguo was setting up the oven with a few young people, Liu Mingliang also managed to pack up the fat duck that he had caught from the mountain.
Liu Mingliang also brought some special tools. The role of the assistants and secretaries he brought was to carry these things...
Authentic Quanjude roast duck requires more than 400 processes. Liu Mingliang has long been familiar with it, but in this countryside, he can only try to be as streamlined as possible.
However, despite this, Li Zhe was still stunned for a moment!
I have to say that this roast duck looks extremely complicated just because of this process. No wonder Quanjude Roast Duck is so famous and cannot be copied by others.
After the duck is put away, it's natural to put it in the oven and start roasting. The skillful craftsmanship of the master chef is different. Even a layman can see the skill from the side!
After the fat duck has been baked for forty-five minutes, it is officially baked!
"Okay!"
Liu Mingliang decisively took the roast duck out of the oven, and immediately a rich aroma filled Li Zhe's yard, which whetted his appetite!
Li Zhe, Li Weiguo and his wife, including the secretary and assistant brought by Liu Mingliang, all swallowed involuntarily.
Even Liu Mingliang himself was a little surprised!
I have been roasting roast duck for so many years. This time in such a simple environment, the aroma of roast duck is much stronger than before.
In particular, the aroma of this roast duck does not smell so much oily smoke. After all, it is smoked in a closed environment. Generally, roast duck will have some oily smoke smell when it comes out of the oven, which is inevitable. of.
However, this roast duck does not have that kind of oily smoke that is not perfect!
What Liu Mingliang doesn't know is that this is because the duck itself has superior meat quality, and the ducks fed by Li Zhe's spiritual water are not guaranteed!
The whole duck was roasted until it was golden and crispy, with the skin and meat separated. Because it had been blown inside before, the oil on the skin was locked in just right. It looked moist, but not a drop of oil dripped down. There was no excess oil. It has already been baked in the oven, and the rest is just right!
Li Zhe quickly took a plate, put the roast duck on it, and put it on the table. Everyone in the yard stared at the roast duck, salivating.
To be honest, apart from the time he took Yu Zimei to eat a few days ago, Li Zhe has never eaten authentic Quanjude roast duck! Before, it was because I had no money to afford food, but later because I had no time, I was in a hurry every time I went to the capital.
And now the duck in front of him was raised with spiritual water by himself, and then passed through the craftsmanship of an experienced roast duck master in Quanjude. Li Zhe was also looking forward to it!
Liu Mingliang on the side also felt a little nervous and expectant. If the taste of this roast duck reaches the standard, Quanjude's dilemma will be solved.
Just when Li Zhe didn't know how to get started, Liu Mingliang had already pulled out a bright knife from his bag.
The shape and appearance of the knives in the hands of those waiters who specialize in duck slices in Quanju Delhi are similar, but the one in Liu Mingliang's hands is obviously more high-end!
Slicing duck is a compulsory skill for a roast duck master. For Liu Mingliang, it is no longer a topic.
The knife flew like a butterfly, cutting the duck meat accurately, and the exquisite knife skills made Li Zhe dazzled and amazed!
Soon, Liu Mingliang cut the whole roast duck into pieces of almost the same size!
Li Weiguo and his wife brought chopsticks from the kitchen and distributed them to everyone.
"I'll try it first, haha!"
Li Zhe was the first to pick up a piece of roast duck with chopsticks and put it in his mouth without any politeness!
