Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 496 - On the verge of breaking out

"In order not to disturb the animals in the Hongshan Forest Zoo, we will set up a stall outside the park on the next street today. This is the location. Please pay attention to the location changes when you come."

After Wang Fan drove the RV to an open space outside the entrance of the small park, he updated his status in the group and on Weibo, and also posted the location of his current location.

Many fans were confused and asked Wang Fan in the group what was going on.

"What's going on, Boss Wang? Why did you move to another location? Was you kicked out by the director?"

"Only a fool would chase Boss Wang away. How big a wave of traffic would this be?"

"Could it be that they couldn't agree on the endorsement fee?"

"That's possible, but with Boss Wang's massive traffic, he's going to make a profit no matter how much he talks about it, right? And judging by the message he sent, it doesn't seem like it was for that reason."

"You can't really be afraid of disturbing the animals' habitat, right? This is a joke, right?"

"Boss Wang, can you please tell me what's going on?"

Wang Fan had just set up his stall when he saw the message and replied, "It's because the director was worried that too many people would come and make too much noise today, and that they wouldn't disturb the animals' habitat. He said that the animals are the masters of the Hongshan Forest Zoo, and we should try not to do anything that the animals don't like. That's why he kicked me out today, haha. But he waived my entrance fee for one day, so I can get in for free tomorrow."

Seeing Wang Fan’s reply, I was really shocked.

"Oh my god??? Is this director so capricious? He can just say he doesn't want all the wealth and luxury?"

"Wow, wow! This is the first time I've heard that animals are the owners of a zoo. Is this zoo really that great?"

"Boss Wang, aren't you being sarcastic? I think he seems quite happy about being kicked out."

Wang Fan cheerfully typed on his phone, "Of course I'm not happy about being kicked out, but I really like that zoo. If you like animals, I recommend you go see it. It's really different from other zoos."

He has never been a stingy person. Although the headmaster did drive him away, he would not hold a grudge because it happened for a reason.

On the contrary, he very much agreed with the principal's approach, so he didn't mind helping to promote it further.

"Since Boss Wang has said so, I'll definitely go take a look at the zoo after today's fun."

"Honestly, I haven't been to the zoo in a long time. The last time I went to see an animal show, I felt really depressed. It was like I was the bear that had to ride a bicycle to perform."

"Boss Wang, I'll be there in 5 minutes, so you should get ready to cook, hehehe."

Wang Fan chatted for a few more sentences and then put away his phone. The main reason was that in just a short while, people had gathered outside the RV.

Moreover, everyone with cameras and long guns was obviously from the media, which made Wang Fan frown.

Jiang Yi is an anchor for a media company. Of course she was shocked by the big news last night, so she brought some people here to film the scene today.

The manager of the century-old store hasn't arrived yet, but Boss Wang has much more traffic than that boss, so it will definitely not hurt to take a picture in advance.

However, just as she was about to go forward for the interview, she saw Boss Wang turn around and get into the car.

She quickly ran to the car door and shouted, "Boss Wang, I'm Jiang Yi, a reporter from Tianyue Media. Would it be convenient for me to interview you?"

Wang Fan shook his head through the glass. "I don't have anything to interview you about. I need to go prepare the ingredients. I'll excuse myself for now."

After saying that, he really turned around and left, leaving Jiang Yi alone in the wind.

Jiang Yi was a little confused. She was naturally beautiful, and after some fine-tuning, her figure and looks were first-rate. How could a man reject her?
Wang Fan's casual remark wasn't an excuse; he had actually gone to the kitchen to prepare the duck. As for whether the host was pretty or not, he didn't really care.

No matter how beautiful it is, can it be more beautiful than a duck that has been soaked in water and then covered in salt and pepper?

Generally, salted duck needs more than 48 hours to be marinated with pepper and salt. Fortunately, there is a big bug of the all-in-one machine, which allows the marinating and soaking time to be greatly advanced, so this dish can be made today.

Although he had to face off head-on today, his rhythm did not mess up at all and he still produced according to the normal schedule.

The duck legs have become hard after being marinated. Soaking them again will remove the excess salt and their color will also change slightly compared to fresh ones.

Next comes the final braising.

Braising food is one of Wang Fan’s trump cards. The only regret is that his braising pot is still with his second uncle.

But at my current level, this has basically no impact.

He didn't know if there really was some century-old recipe for salted duck, but his recipe just included bay leaves, star anise, cumin, angelica, cardamom, green onions, ginger, salt, and cooking wine.

These dishes are originally the standard set of dishes carefully selected by our ancestors to remove fishy smell, enhance fragrance and soften meat. If other things really have special effects, they would not have been passed down.

He estimated that the exclusive secret recipe of that century-old store was most likely just a pot of century-old braising liquid.

As long as the stewed food is not spoiled, it will become more and more fragrant. The taste of time is not something that ordinary people can simulate.

But this kind of thing is definitely not irreplaceable.

The most important thing is that he has his own old brine.

Although this old brine is only a few months old, it is definitely better than the new brine.

He used duck legs, which are the duck thighs with half of the buttocks. He modified the knife, stuffed the blade with ginger slices and scallion segments, and put it directly into the braised meat pot.

Next comes the task of timing.

At this moment, the owner of the century-old Zui Ya Ju also arrived.

After he got off the car, he began to direct the guys to unload the things he brought with him, and soon he set up a stall opposite Wang Fan.

Looking at the luxurious RV opposite, Cai Zhigui curled his lips in disdain.

This is his stepping stone today, and he wants to take this opportunity to vigorously promote his own brand!
It certainly can’t compare with other delicacies, but when it comes to duck, especially salted duck, who can the Centennial Zui Ya Ju fear?
"Hurry up, put up the sign more prominently, and also put up the sign indicating today's promotion."

Jiang Yi didn't get any good results from Wang Fan, so when she saw the other main person coming, her eyes lit up and she hurried over.

"Hello, are you the owner of the century-old Zui Ya Ju?"

Cai Zhigui's eyes lit up when he saw the youthful and beautiful Jiang Yi. He licked his lips imperceptibly and coughed softly before saying, "Yes, it's me. My name is Cai Zhigui. Today, I'm going to use our century-old duck to teach the young people today what delicious food is."

Jiang Yi's eyes naturally lit up when she heard this. As a member of the media, she hoped that the situation would become as serious as possible.

"It seems that Boss Cai is very confident. Let's look forward to the exciting matchup that will follow!"
