"It's for sale, but it's just out of the pot at this time, so you have to wait until it's cold." Du Mei looked out and saw a middle-aged man standing outside, and when he looked at his figure and clothes, he knew that he was working on the dock.

"I'm going to get on the boat in a moment." The man smelled the fragrance all the way, and when he saw that he couldn't sell it, he was a little regretful.

"I'll keep it for you, how much do you want?" Du Mei asked, gesturing at the duck.

"I don't know how you sell it, I want a duck leg, do you sell it?" The man is a little shy, and he feels very embarrassed to buy so little for himself and trouble people.

"Twenty wen a pound for a duck, a duck can be sold in four parts, and you can buy a duck leg no more than fifteen wen." Du Mei said with a warm smile on his face.

"That's good, that's good, please keep it for me, I'll buy it at night." After the man finished speaking, he left satisfied.

After a while, Xiao Qi went out to buy some firecrackers to set off, and Mei Kee Deli opened quietly.

"Look, it tastes good." Xiao Qi held his hands and looked at the salted duck in the tray with oily skin and full duck shape.

"Just now an uncle asked for a duck leg, let's eat this half duck breast." Du Mei quickly cut half of the duck breast into finger-width pieces of meat and stacked them neatly on the plate.

The duck meat was cut, and a more mellow taste overflowed, Xiao Qi couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks and grab a piece, the duck meat was eaten in his mouth, the meat was delicate, the skin was fat and the bones were fragrant, and the saltiness was suitable.

"Sister, try it, it's really delicious, it's unimaginable, this is the smelly and fat duck meat we don't eat at all on weekdays!" Xiao Qi ate a piece and still couldn't enjoy it, so he grabbed another piece.

Listening to her say this, Du Mei also took a piece of himself and ate it a little bit, sure enough, the meat juice is full, fragrant and delicious, because the salted duck has been salted and marinated in two processes, the taste of spices has completely invaded the duck meat, and the stew is slowly soaked over low heat, so that the meat is full of brine, eating fresh and smooth ~ tender, the mouth is fragrant, and even the bones are chewed with salty and fresh taste.

Du Mei tasted another piece, and found that the taste of the spice was not soft and long, like a reckless teenager, more than enthusiastic, lack of stamina, and thought that only after many times of re-halogenation can the fragrance be more blended and matched.

To achieve this, it is necessary to constantly fight and run in between spices, as well as batches of duck embryos soaked in each soaking oil slowly into refining, the so-called century-old halogen, which is how it is formed.

Du Mei thought carefully, the sun outside has slowly risen, shining on the river, glowing with fine silver light, people come and go on the dock, the saltwater duck is fragrant, and it will attract many people to come and see after a while, some people see that it is a duck that is not eaten on weekdays, and they have doubts in their hearts, Du Mei will taste his freshly cut duck breast with them.

These people work on the dock all year round, and they are hard laborers, they can't cook vegetables and soup, they can only eat outside, but they earn all the hard money, where are they willing to eat what is good, just a bowl of noodles, a few steamed buns to pass the trouble.

At this time, I ate Du Mei's salted duck, which is simply a delicacy in the world, buy a duck leg or half a duck breast, but fifteen yuan, cook a pot of rice by yourself, burn a bowl of soup to deal with a day's food, if you get a reward by chance, or a happy event, then come to a plate of peanuts, drink half a bowl of soju, this day will be more beautiful!

Everyone praised it after eating, and they were generous, and immediately asked for a duck leg, Du Mei weighed it in his hand, and reported two catties in his mouth, "Six taels and a half, thirteen Wen." With that, he turned around and waved his knife on the board, and after a few strokes, he cut off the duck leg and wrapped it in oiled paper. handed over the duck meat, took the money, and did not forget to say, "Eat well, come back next time."

Du Mei acted quickly, calculated the accounts clearly, and gave them a little taste of whether they bought it for the first time whether they bought it or not, so ten ducks were sold out in the morning, Du Mei was worried about the man in the morning, and left his share in the tray, and the diners who smelled the fragrance wanted to buy the last one, but Du Mei refused with a smile, and then asked a lot of people, she simply buckled the duck with a bowl and put it under the counter.

Du Zhong sent the duck embryo early in the morning, as well as duck wings and duck claws, Du Mei saw that the ducks were sold out, so he went to the back kitchen to continue to busy, leaving Xiao Qi in front to watch the store.

The duck was still marinated according to yesterday's wet and dry methods, and because the people on the dock were in a hurry, Du Mei decided to change it to cook the duck at night, and it was just cooled the next day to start selling.

In the evening, Xiao Qi came in with a pouting and said, "Sister, that person will not come in the morning, there have been several groups of people who have come to ask, if there is still a sale, we might as well sell that share." ”

"I have already promised others, how can I not be trustworthy? Wait. Du Mei was picking up the duck's wings, and said without raising his head.

"Oh." Xiao Qi reluctantly went out.

"If you're okay, count the money you're selling for today." Du Mei said a word in the back with a smile.

"I've already counted it, it's a total of five hundred and eighty wen!" Xiao Qi turned around and stuck out his tongue.

Du Mei calculated in his heart that ten ducks could basically be sold for 600 wen, deducting the cost of buying ducks, feeding rice, spices, spices and manpower in the villa, he could earn almost 200 or 300 wen.

At present, ten ducks are barely enough to sell, and if you sell dozens or hundreds of ducks in the future, you will make more money at that time. Thinking of this, Du Mei felt confident and full of energy.

"Do you have any ducks I want to keep in the morning?" It was dark, and a man dragged his tired steps, across the counter, and asked in a low voice.

"Wow, it's you, make me wait so hard!" Xiao Qi stood up suddenly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too busy today, I'm delayed." The man was said by Xiao Qiyi, and he was embarrassed for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay, uncle, since I agreed, I'll naturally stay." Du Mei heard the sound and wiped his hands from the back kitchen.

Du Mei quickly cut off the duck legs, because the duck meat was somewhat dried after a day, Du Mei went to the back kitchen to scoop some hot soup of boiled duck and poured it on it, and then wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to the man.

"What a fragrant duck, the girl's craftsmanship is really good!" The man put the oiled paper to his nose and sniffed, "Can you leave me another half duck breast tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow morning, there is a fresh sale, if you want to save it for the evening to buy it, you can also buy it." Seeing that he was a trustworthy man, Du Mei readily agreed.

In the evening, when the three Lin Zheng brothers heard that a new deli selling ducks had opened on the dock, they thought that it was Du Mei, and they came to see it early the next morning, and when they saw the people busy behind the counter, they waved their hands at her excitedly. Seeing this, Xiao Qi knew that they were acquaintances, so he opened the door and let them come into the store.

"I've just opened this store, and I'm too busy to find you." Du Mei took advantage of his free time to talk to them.

"The people on the docks say your duck is delicious, and when we guess, we think it must be you." Lin Zheng said with bright eyes.

Lin Qi and Lin Ao looked around curiously, looking at the salted duck with white and tender skin and oily meat in the push plate~ juicy, they had not seen meat for a long time, and their eyes showed a look of longing.

"Bring some ducks back and eat them, and try my handiwork." Du Mei smiled and chopped half of the duck breast without hesitation.

"We can't ask for it, we can't ask for it." Lin Zheng was embarrassed for a while, looking at the two brothers, his face turned red all of a sudden.

"What's polite to me, I know that you are doing hard work on the dock, and you are reluctant to eat well outside, although you are young, but there is no oil and water every day, your body can't stand it, and the elders of the family still rely on you. Now that I am here, where can I lack your food, and in the future, I will come often, and if I have leisure, I can make you something else to eat. Du Mei stuffed the oil paper bag into Lin Zheng's hand without saying a word.

"We will do the work for you later, although we can't do the delicate work, chopping wood and carrying water, we can do it." Lin Zheng took the oil paper bag and said gratefully. Lin Qi and Lin Ao nodded again and again.

"Okay, we live so close, you come often, you take care of each other, Uncle Lin and they can rest assured." Du Mei smiled and nodded.

"Boss, come on half a duck breast!"

"I want a duck leg!" Diners came one after another outside, and Du Mei turned around to receive him warmly.

Seeing this, Lin Zheng greeted Du Mei, and the three brothers went back to work.

In the evening, Du Mei deliberately left half a duck and sent it to the Wu family's courtyard, Wu saw it, and decided to keep her for dinner, Du Mei did not shirk, called Xiao Qi, locked the door of the delicatessen, and came.

Old man Wu was very happy, poured himself a drink, drank half a pot of soju, became interested for a while, shook his head and sang, "...... The red-faced and long-haired martial arts are strong, and the military aircraft is hidden in the belly. Qinglong and Chitu are unstoppable, leading the male soldiers to town Jingxiang......"

"The young owner doesn't know what to do in the past two days, a few days ago he repaired your shop, and he was here every day, and at this time, you have opened, and he hasn't been here yet." Wu ignored the crazy old man and just talked to Du Mei.

"He's always busy, I'm fine here, he doesn't have to worry." Du Mei talked to the Wu family with a normal face, and felt strange in her heart, according to Murong Xi's temperament, how could she come to show her merit and ask her for praise.

Half a month later, the delicious taste made by the ducks was passed on the wharf, and not only the stewards and coolies on the wharf came to buy, but also the shipwharf who rested on the wharf to unload the cargo, and they would come to buy it when it came to the meal, and even before leaving, they would buy a little to take on the boat to eat, and Du Mei's delicatessen business was becoming more and more prosperous, and more than 30 ducks were sold a day.

In this way, Du Mei alone can not be busy, Lin Yong and his wife are grateful to Du Mei for saving their only son, and they have more gratitude to Du Mei than others, they are responsible for sending duck embryos every morning, Lin Yong helps to pickle, re-marinate, do some physical work, You Shi is with him, occasionally Du Mei is too busy, and then help to cook lunch, with their help, the busy Du Mei has a little free, every night as long as he grasps the last process - stew.

The duck's taste is getting better and better, and business is getting better, but Du Mei is worried about another food.
