The rich aroma of roast duck wafted through the air and into the neighboring convenience store, making its way directly into Jiang Guowei's nostrils...

At this moment.

Jiang Guowei, who had already caught a whiff of the aroma, was thoroughly tempted.

He couldn't help but mutter, "This is driving me crazy, smelling this near lunchtime, how can I sit still?"

In the small kitchen, Chen Wenli, who was folding vegetables, smelled the aroma and guessed that Huang Tao was making a new dish again!

Of course!

The craving in her heart was also stirred.

So, she leaned out and cheerily said to Jiang Guowei, who was sitting at the counter, "Since you can't sit still, why don't you go check it out, and buy a portion to try while you're at it? I'll watch the store."

"Alright! Then I'll head over now..."

With that, he quickly stood up, picked up his phone, and walked toward the store entrance...

...

A ray of warm sunshine streamed through the glass window, warmly shining on Huang Tao and the others.

Sunshine, good food, how delightful~

"You guys eat first, I'll go put up the price for the roast duck at the entrance."

Huang Tao walked to the store entrance, crouched in front of the electronic blackboard, and added two notes.

[Roast duck over 4 pounds: 188 yuan each!]

[Duck bones can be processed: processing fee 20 yuan per time!]

The quality of the live duck, combined with Huang Tao's skills, definitely justifies this price.

But Xu Hao and Ding Suqin both thought the price was too cheap when they found out.

Especially Xu Hao!

A few years ago, when he traveled to the capital with friends, he went to a famous century-old brand to taste authentic capital roast duck.

They ordered a grand peony, almost 300 yuan...

But the slices of duck meat were just a few dozen pieces, and even the duck frame still with plenty of meat would be taken away.

Even lotus leaf pancakes, sauce, and scallions these condiments were charged additionally.

Of course, a service fee was also inevitable.

At that time, his feeling was that eating this roast duck was like eating money, it felt even more of a rip-off than a trip to Disney...

As for the taste~

Not bad!

But definitely not as good as what his own boss makes!

The roast duck made by his own boss could definitely attract lots of people, even if sold at 400 yuan!

It's just that his own boss is too honest a person!

He only thinks about doing business steadfastly and not about earning too much of a premium.

Such a boss is truly a boon for customers!

The thoughts of Xu Hao and the others!

Huang Tao naturally couldn't perceive them.

At this time, when he was ready to get up and return to the store, Jiang Guowei's voice came to his ear: "Boss Huang, what new dish did you make? I've been smelling a roasted aroma for a while now."

Huang Tao joked with a smile: "Oh, hey, Jiang! Your nose is really sharp! You even smelled this."

"It's not that my nose is sharp! It's because what you made is too fragrant, so fragrant that I was sitting in the store, swallowing like crazy..."

Jiang Guowei smiled broadly and eagerly asked, "Quick, tell me, what new dish did you make?"

"Roast duck!"

"Roast duck? That's my favorite!"

Jiang Guowei rubbed his hands, feeling lucky for lunch.

Just when he looked at the electronic blackboard with the prices displayed at the store entrance...

Alright!

Honestly, he was a bit discouraged.

He said he couldn't quite afford it~

After all, a roast duck by the street only costs 30 yuan.

For 188 yuan, he could buy 6 roast ducks!

Of course, he also knew clearly that the aroma and taste of street roast duck simply couldn't compare to Huang Tao's roast duck.

Just the aroma coming from the store was dozens of times better than that of the street roast duck.

This taste, naturally, goes without saying!

But thinking that it's just him and his wife, an entire roast duck might be too much for them to finish.

If they saved it for the evening...

The reheated texture would definitely be greatly diminished...

So, an idea struck him, and he smiled as he asked, "Boss Huang, well, an entire roast duck is too much for just my wife and me, we can't finish a whole one, can you sell me half of one?"

Huang Tao instantly understood what Jiang Guowei meant.

In other words, like other roasted duck shops, you can choose either half a duck or a whole duck.

Both half and whole ducks need to be priced separately.

Then customers can choose the amount according to their needs.

This way, it can satisfy those with smaller families who can't eat too much.

However, for half a duck, the price might be a bit higher.

After all, a separate portion of pancakes and sauces need to be prepared.

Thinking this, he nodded with a light smile and said, "Of course! And thank you for the reminder."

As he said this, he quickly added another entry on the electronic board.

[Roasted duck over 4 jin: 188 yuan for a whole duck, 98 yuan for half.]

Jiang Guowei originally just made a casual suggestion, not expecting Huang Tao to adopt it so directly.

Feeling delighted, he said, "Boss Huang, then give me half a roasted duck, and process the duck rack for me. That's 118 yuan, right!"

"No need for that much, we're neighbors, how about 80!" Huang Tao said with a smile.

Jiang Guowei felt extremely warm at heart, "Won't you be losing money then?"

"Not losing, just earning a bit less."

Insisting, Huang Tao didn't want Jiang Guowei to feel awkward refusing, thinking he would help out more whenever Huang Tao needed it.

Once Huang Tao finished, Jiang Guowei took it, humming a tune, and happily returned to the convenience store.

Just as he got to the store entrance.

He saw his wife Chen Wenli smilingly coming forward and asking, "You're back?"

She quickly grabbed the food bag from his hands, peeking through the packaging box: "Oh, roasted duck! Just look at the glossy skin, you can imagine how crispy it is, this roasted duck must be pricey, right?"

"188 yuan for a whole duck. I thought with just the two of us, a whole one would be too much, so I got half. I heard from Boss Huang that these roasted ducks are from live ducks! Just for that, it's worth the price! Plus, with Boss Huang's skills, definitely worth more than its price."

Just smelling the aroma and looking at the appearance, you can tell this roasted duck is extraordinary.

Chen Wenli nodded in agreement, "Yes, go wash your hands first and then we'll eat."

Jiang Guowei obediently went to wash his hands.

Chen Wenli quickly brought the food bag to the folding dining table, taking out the packaging box and sauces.

She made a roasted duck wrap for Jiang Guowei and handed it over.

"Thank you, honey, you're always so good to me!"

Jiang Guowei took the duck wrap, and the duck meat inside was still warm, with two strips of scallions, two strips of cucumber, dipped in a special duck sauce, wrapped in a lotus leaf bun.

He held the wrap and took a bite.

The crispy duck skin, tender and juicy duck meat, paired with the thin pancake, cucumber, and scallion strips, all these flavors mixed together, turning into an unbeatable delicacy.

He exclaimed with excitement, "Hmm, it's really delicious! I've never tasted such tasty roasted duck before!"

"It is indeed very tasty." Chen Wenli happily munched on her wrap as well.

The harmonious relationship was apparent until only the last piece of duck was left, and the atmosphere began to turn serious.

"Wenli, aren't you on a diet recently? Let me help you with this last piece of duck."

He said as he reached with his chopsticks for the last piece of duck in the box.

"Guowei, during your medical check-up earlier this year, the doctor said you shouldn't eat greasy food. I'll help you with this duck piece instead!"

Chen Wenli replied, quickly reaching for the last piece of duck with her own chopsticks.

Before you knew it!

Both of their chopsticks caught the last piece of duck simultaneously.

"Old Jiang..."

Chen Wenli still had a smile on her face, but in Jiang Guowei's eyes, it was filled with a fierce aura...

Fine!

The wife you choose, you must cherish even with tears in your eyes!

I'll let you have it!

He silently withdrew his chopsticks, smiling on the outside, but feeling bitter inside, "Honey, you've worked hard, have this piece."

His attitude really touched Chen Wenli's heart.

"Then let's split it in half!"

Chen Wenli bit half of the duck piece and fed the other half to Jiang Guowei.

After finishing, both of them still craved more~

They felt like it wasn't enough, not satisfying enough.

"Old Jiang... how about you go buy another half?" Chen Wenli licked her lips, still yearning.

Jiang Guowei, who had the same thought, was just wondering how to bring it up!

Upon hearing his wife's suggestion, he nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go get it..."

But just as he stepped out of the store,

seeing a long queue of people already lined up, he felt it might be difficult~

Regretting why he didn't choose the whole one before...

Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world!
