Chapter 14 Delicious Roast Duck Recipe

Qin Hao opened his mouth to ask Xiao Ying, "Xiao Ying, is this delicious roast duck really as good as they say?"

Xiao Ying: "Is the host doubting the system's ability?"

Qin Hao explained, "Look at the description of this delicious roast duck. Besides being fragrant, crispy, tender, mellow without being greasy, and salivating just at the smell, it is said to also strengthen the body, nourish vitality, enhance resistance and so on. Is this roast duck or ginseng?"

"The delicious roast duck is made from a secret recipe. There is not a shred of falsehood in the effects the system has mentioned."

Hearing Xiao Ying say this, Qin Hao was shocked. If the delicious roast duck was really that powerful, wouldn't it sweep the domestic roast duck industry?

The most famous roast duck in Xuan Country was still Jinchen Deju Xiang Roasted Duck, which, with its secret roasting technique and management and operations, gave De Juxiang a market value of more than five billion and a reputation known at home and abroad.

Even national banquets for foreign guests would use De Juxiang's roast duck.

This shows how influential Jinchen Deju Xiang Roasted Duck is. Now with the secret recipe for delicious roast duck, the future might not be any worse than De Juxiang, maybe even stronger.

Because the effects of delicious roast duck are incomparable to any other roast duck shop.

In Shuinan Province, De Juxiang roast duck shops aren't many – there are only three in the entire province, because the roasting process of De Juxiang roast duck is strict and complicated.

The duck embryos must be transported from Jinchen, and the wood used to smoke the ducks is also particular—it can only be fruitwood from Jinchen, otherwise the taste will change.

This is the main reason why De Juxiang roast duck cannot expand wildly; the restrictions are too great.

But this doesn't affect its fame—on the contrary, it makes people chase after it even more.

In terms of market value, Zhou Yaya Company from Jiangbei Province is higher than De Juxiang, reaching a market value of nearly twenty billion, but in terms of reputation, Zhou Yaya cannot compare to De Juxiang.

Of course, Zhou Yaya Company's high market value isn't just because of Zhou Yaya, but also their company's subsidiary products of geese, duck by-products, vegetarian products, and so on.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao suddenly had an idea: he wanted to sell roast duck!

"Xiao Hao, time to eat."

Just as he fantasized about sweeping the domestic market, Mrs. Qin's voice awakened him.

Qin Hao chuckled and hurried out of the room.

The dining table was set with braised fish, roast duck, and several stir-fries.

Qin Youguo took out a bottle of Wuliangye baijiu, poured himself a small cup, and then said to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, do you want to have a drink with dad?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin said disapprovingly, "Xiao Hao is still in school. What is he doing drinking?"

Qin Hao glanced at his father, and it was as if he could see a trace of fatigue in the depths of his father's eyes, "It's fine, mom. I'll just have a little."

Mr. Qin smiled at this and said, "A little drink is fine, but you can't have too much. Drinking too much is bad for your health."

While saying this, Mr. Qin poured a bit of the alcohol for Qin Hao, roughly a little more than one shot.

Mrs. Qin didn't say anything more, and the family began to eat in harmonious cheerfulness. Mrs. Qin kept putting meat on Qin Hao's plate, causing him a bit of embarrassment.

During the meal, Qin Hao quickly finished the white liquor without feeling much, which surprised him.

Could it be that my enhanced body has also increased my tolerance for alcohol?

In the past, he'd become dizzy after just one bottle of beer, but now he had drunk some baijiu and didn't feel anything at all.

...

After dinner, Qin Hao returned to his room. He could see the weariness hiding in his father's eyes.

He drank with his father wanting to relieve some of his mental pressure.

Inside his room, Qin Hao turned on the computer and began searching for the eighty-one medicinal herbs in the delicious roast duck recipe.

After some research, he found that all eighty-one types of herbs were the most common Chinese medicinal herbs, and they were inexpensive. This meant that the cost of delicious roast duck wasn't high.

This was good news for him. If the cost had been too high, then everything would have been wishful thinking.

He planned to make a delicious roast duck over the weekend to see if the effects were really as good as claimed.

At night, Qin Hao didn't review his studies. Instead, he played with his phone for a while.

His phone had been handed down from his mother, a smartphone capable of accessing chat apps and the internet.

Around 7:30 p.m., Du Wanrou sent him a message: "Qin Hao, what are you doing?"

Qin Hao: "Nothing much, just revising. How about you?"

Du Wanrou: "I just finished eating and am now sitting on the sofa watching TV with my mom."

Instantly, Qin Hao didn't know what to talk about again, he was somewhat at a loss for words.

Xiao Ying said speechlessly, "Host, how are you ever going to charm a girl with that approach? Without money or power, you need to have thick skin, get it?"

Struck by Xiao Ying's criticism, Qin Hao felt somewhat speechless and sent Du Wanrou a message, "Shall I tell you a joke?"

On the other end, Du Wanrou, upon seeing his message, couldn't help but recall the suggestive joke Qin Hao sent her last time, her cheeks blushing slightly.

After a while, she replied, "What joke?"

Qin Hao, seeing her response, felt a surge of happiness. Was this an agreement?

No money, no power, it seems I really need to be bolder.

He found a joke online and sent it to Du Wanrou:

Guan Yu stormed into the tent, shouting, "We are surrounded, big brother, hurry and leave."

Liu Bei: "Yunchang, cover our retreat."

Guan Yu raised his sword and chopped Liu Chan into two halves.

Liu Bei: "Damn, that's not what I was talking about..."

Guan Yu then killed Liu Feng.

Liu Bei: "Dammit, not him either!"

With a flash of his sword, the space between Liu Bei's legs turned to blood red...

...

Seeing the joke, Du Wanrou was left speechless with black lines across her forehead: "Is that supposed to be funny?"

Qin Hao felt a bit embarrassed: "How about we guess riddles instead?"

"What riddles?"

Qin Hao: "Four women and four men standing together, guess an idiom."

After seeing the question, Du Wanrou racked her brains for ten minutes but still couldn't figure it out.

She had no choice but to give up and asked out of curiosity, "What's the answer?"

Qin Hao replied, "More often unlucky than lucky."

After seeing the answer, Du Wanrou was stunned for a moment. More often unlucky than lucky? What kind of nonsensical answer is that?

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, her cheeks instantly turning crimson red. More hens than roosters? This bastard, utterly shameless.

Seeing her daughter's flushed face, Feng Yun asked curiously, "Rourou, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Du Wanrou's face stiffened, "Ah, no, mom, I'm fine. I'm going to my room to study now. You should rest early too."

After speaking, Du Wanrou hurriedly went upstairs back to her room.

Feng Yun watched her daughter's retreating figure with suspicion, as if something dawned on her. She turned off the television and started heading upstairs.

Back in her room, Du Wanrou let out a long sigh of relief, touched her still warm cheeks, and thought angrily to herself: Qin Hao, you jerk, you're done for. Just wait and see how I deal with you at school tomorrow.

Just as Du Wanrou put down her phone, Feng Yun walked in, staring at her without saying a word.

Du Wanrou felt a bit uneasy, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Feng Yun looked at her and asked, "Are you in a relationship?"

Du Wanrou quickly explained, "No, mom, the college entrance examination is in half a month. What relationship can I be in? I'm focusing all my attention on revision right now."

Feng Yun: "Is that so? Then give me your phone."
