In an instant, Li Zhe felt that his taste buds were going to explode.
This taste is so amazing!
The ducks fed by Lingshui, coupled with the craftsmanship of the master chef, are indeed worth it! It was much more delicious than the roast duck I had in Quanjude before!
Li Weiguo and his wife, as well as the assistant and secretary, also picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the roast duck.
There is no doubt that everyone is conquered by the taste of this roast duck!
Li Weiguo and his wife only thought that the craftsmanship of this master from the capital was good. An ordinary duck could produce such a taste. No wonder Quanjude is famous!
Liu Mingliang saw everyone's expressions and was looking forward to the roast duck in front of him. He no longer hesitated and picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
When he started chewing, Liu Mingliang was shocked. He quickly chewed a few more mouthfuls, and the surprise turned into a surprise.
The taste of this roast duck is so amazing. Even judging from his years of roast duck career, the duck in front of him can be regarded as the best!
The roasted duck raised by Li Zhe tasted so amazing that Liu Mingliang still thought about it for a long time!
Let’s not talk about the crispy skin. This is a must-have skill for every roast duck chef. This tests the control of the heat, but the meat inside this duck is still tender and juicy. It doesn’t look like a roasted duck. duck.
The juice is extremely delicious. When it flows into the gastrointestinal tract, it does not feel greasy. Instead, it has a sweet and mellow taste. It is simply incredible!
For the roast duck to reach this level of flavor, Liu Mingliang knew that it had nothing to do with his craftsmanship.
No matter how skilled he is, he can't roast an ordinary duck like this.
This is completely determined by the meat quality of the duck itself!
"Now I found a treasure!"
This was the first direct thought that popped into Liu Mingliang's mind after swallowing the piece of duck meat.
Originally, I just came to investigate with the idea of giving it a try, but I got a big surprise!
Liu Mingliang quickly said to Li Zhe: "Mr. Li Zhe, I think we can discuss the contract signing!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Zhe's face.
As expected, it was a pleasure to deal with such a professional. He could tell the difference in feeding the ducks with this spiritual water in one bite, so he smiled and said, "No problem!"
"But there is one last step. We need to send the duck meat for testing. You should be able to understand this!"
Li Zhe nodded when he heard Liu Mingliang's words, expressing his understanding.
Large companies like Quanjude still have very strict control over food safety, otherwise there would be no such thing as purchase restrictions.
"Of course, I hope our cooperation will be pleasant this time!"
That afternoon, Liu Mingliang took his secretary and assistant back the same way without losing a moment.
He also took away a few randomly selected ducks and sent them for meat quality testing. He also took the extra duck back and prepared to explain it to Quanjude's senior officials.
After all, only Liu Mingliang knew the taste of roasted duck, so he decided to cooperate with Li Zhe, which was a bit too hasty!
After Liu Mingliang and his party left, the small courtyard of Li Zhe's house was filled with inquiring villagers.
Village chief Li Manfu also rushed to the scene: "Li Zhe, who are those people you brought this morning? Are they here to buy our chickens and ducks?"
"Yes, baby, everyone is very anxious!"
"I don't know what the chickens and ducks in our village have eaten. They will be ready for slaughter in just one month. There are more and more chickens and ducks on the mountain!"
Seeing that the chickens and ducks on the back mountain are breeding more and more, but the sales have not yet been established, the villagers are also a little anxious.
Although you can make a lot of money selling eggs and salted duck eggs now, who doesn't think it's too much money?
Seeing that the villagers were all looking at him eagerly, Li Zhe didn't show off and said directly: "You guys guessed it right, everyone knows about the Quanjude Roast Duck in the capital. That's the person who came here this morning. Our duck is going to be... Sold to Quanjude! The quantity they want is huge!"
Now the crowd was filled with excitement, and the villagers started talking:
"Quanjude? I've seen this on the TV news. I heard that even the foreign devils like to eat the roast duck in that place!"
"This is great, the sales of our ducks have been established..."
"If it weren't for the fact that this kid Li Zhe is so talented, he would have to let us guys sell them one by one. I don't know how long it will take to sell them!"
"Have you noticed, you melon boy? If you follow your brother Li Zhe's lead, you will know how to stay at home all day long!"
All of a sudden, the courtyard of Li Zhe's family was filled with the voices of the Lijiaji villagers educating the younger generation in the family. They all asked them to follow Li Zhe's example, which made Li Weiguo and his wife smile with joy.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that one day I would become the legendary [other people's child]!"
Li Zhe was also secretly proud.
······
At this time, Liu Mingliang, who was on his way back, had also reported the results of his trip to Quanjude's senior officials.
"Old guys, I really found a treasure this time. When I return to the capital, I will show you who is the best in Quanjude roast duck!"
Quanjude's senior executives were basically the first batch of roast duck masters back then. When they heard Liu Mingliang's loud tone, they all became dissatisfied:
"Come on, Old Liu, I asked you to be a purchaser, but you really think that you are the best in Quanjude roast duck craftsmanship? Just brag about it!"
"Fuck you, mother. When we were apprentices together, you were the most naughty boy and didn't study seriously. He always burned the duck! How dare you brag about this to the men?"
Liu Mingliang looked at the teasing text messages from these old guys on his phone and smiled, showing a proud look:
"You old boys, when you return to the capital, I will let you open your eyes..."
As soon as the plane landed and left the airport, Liu Mingliang first got the duck checked at the airport, and then got directly into the car sent by Quanjude to pick him up.
He asked his assistant to send the randomly selected ducks to a special testing agency for meat quality testing, and he took a duck directly to the Quanjude Qianmen Direct Store.
There, there were already a group of Quanjude senior officials waiting.
"I don't know what this old boy like Lao Liu did to make him so mysterious. He said he is the best at roast duck."
"However, I really hope that he can bring back a high-quality source of duck meat. After all, our current purchase restriction policy cannot continue like this. Old customers have already begun to complain."
"When Old Liu comes, we will know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, and he asked us to wait here!"
While several Quanjude executives were discussing, Liu Mingliang had already arrived at a direct-sale store with the best business in Quanjude, Yanjing.
When several senior executives saw Liu Mingliang holding a duck with flapping wings in his hand, they started to laugh:
"Old Liu, I asked you to purchase high-quality ducks. Why don't you just change your career to steal ducks?"
Naturally, several senior executives knew that this was a sample brought by Liu Mingliang, so they just made fun of it.
Just when they were about to call the roast duck master in the direct store to come over, take the duck and pack it to let them see if the quality of the duck was up to standard, they saw Liu Mingliang handing the duck to the young roast duck master next to him. He rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Clean up the duck and I will roast it myself later. Today I will let these old boys know who is the one with the best craftsmanship in Quanjude!"
The young roast duck master on the side was one of the high-end disciples present. He didn't dare to say anything, so he just took the duck and went down.
Several executives waiting in the box were a little surprised. They thought Liu Mingliang was just joking, but it turned out that he was serious:
"Old Liu, you old boy are serious, we want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in this gourd today!"
Soon, the roast duck master cleaned up the duck. Liu Mingliang put on the roast duck clothes and carried the duck directly to the oven room. A group of senior executives also followed him, wanting to see what Liu Mingliang was doing. ghost.
After looking at the whole process, there was no surprise at all. They all said:
"I said, Old Liu, aren't your skills as bad as when you were an apprentice? You can't even compare to half of my skills!"
"If you ask me, he can't even match a quarter of my skill!"
These senior executives are all lifelong friends, apprenticed together in the oven room. In fact, everyone's skills are similar. After all, they have been tempered for decades. At this time, they are just talking to Liu Mingliang.
"rise!"
With Liu Mingliang's loud shout, the roast duck that had been roasted for half an hour came out of the oven.
However, as soon as the duck came out of the oven, a group of Quanjude executives realized something was wrong. The smell... seemed to be something special!
These people have all been immersed in the oven room for decades. Just from the aroma of the roast duck, you can basically tell how the duck was roasted, but now the aroma is completely different. identical!
Liu Mingliang looked at the faces of these old guys and couldn't help feeling proud:
"A bunch of veteran cooks, it's not my fault. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't roast a roast duck with this kind of aroma!"
Afterwards, Liu Mingliang plated the roast duck, and they returned to the box again. This time, Liu Mingliang handed over the task of slicing the duck to the shop assistant.
"You guys, you guys want me to slice duck for you personally? What a great idea!"
After the waiter in the store skillfully sliced the whole duck, Liu Mingyue acted like a lonely master and said calmly:
"Try it, you old gangsters, don't bite off your tongue!"
However, no one cares about Liu Mingliang's tone now.
In addition to the freshly baked aroma, the visual texture of the duck meat being cut in front of them made them all realize that something was wrong.
Several senior executives, also known as the veteran roast duck chefs, all picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the fragrant roast duck in the middle of the table!
Once they taste it, their expressions become richer!
This...the roast duck tastes so much better than the duck you roast yourself!
The outside is crispy, the inside is tender and juicy, and the taste is mysterious and explosive. It doesn’t look like it’s baked at all…
Is there such a delicious roast duck in this world? !
Liu Mingliang was not surprised when he saw the expressions on the faces of the old guys. He had expected it and said proudly:
"How's it going? Is it better than you old cooks? Now you know who is the best at Quanjude Roast Duck. Are you convinced?"
