Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 134 - 135 Duck Goods Tasting
Chapter 134: Chapter 135 Duck Goods Tasting
As time passed, the longer the duck products simmered in the pot, the more delightful the aroma became, filling the air and permeating the entire restaurant with the scent of duck.
The patrons of the restaurant, one by one, wore faces of curiosity, sniffing the air intently to catch the tantalizing fragrance.
“Master Xiao Xu, what delicious dish did you make today? Why does it smell so fantastic?” the speaker was a regular customer of the restaurant. Ever since Xu Ying started cooking there, he had become a loyal fan, visiting the restaurant every day.
The moment he caught the extraordinary scent today, it immediately stirred the hunger inside him.
Xu Ying, with a smile on her face, said, “Today I made braised duck products. You can try them for free. I’ll give you some extra in a bit.”
Upon hearing this, the man was overjoyed, “Then I must thank Master Xiao Xu in advance.”
...
“Master Xiao Xu, you can’t play favorites now; I want to try the duck products too.”
“Me too, me too.”
“Hey, no cutting in line, I was here first.” Those in the back, fearing they would miss out, hurriedly squeezed forward.
Seeing so many people curious about the duck products, Xu Ying was bursting with joy inside, “Everyone, no need to worry, there will be enough for everyone to try.”
Xu Ying checked the time; once it was right, she immediately turned off the heat and after perfecting the dish for another half hour, worried about delaying everyone’s work, she quickly brought out the duck products.
Duck wings, duck feet, duck heads, duck intestines, duck esophagus…
There were also plenty of vegetarian dishes.
Because it was a free tasting, Xu Ying had prepared a considerable number of vegetarian options.
Just as the tasting began, Gao Guihua couldn’t stand to watch, looking disdainfully she said, “Look at her, doesn’t she just look like one of those capitalists in the way she does business.
Could her family be of capitalist origin?” With this broad accusation, Gao Guihua directly slapped the label on Xu Ying’s head.
“Just by offering everyone a taste, I’m acting like a capitalist? Should I instead act like you, like a haughty landlord, yelling at the customers who come to eat?
If that’s what you’re saying, could it be that your family comes from landlord stock?”
“Exactly, Master Xiao Xu is kindly giving us something to eat, do you really need to curse and swear here?”
“Now that I think about it, it does seem exactly like the landlord family, eager to exploit us commoners to death!” Some people who had suffered under landlords were instantly incited by their past anger.
They glanced at Gao Guihua and began to retort, one after another.
Gao Guihua had no idea how her comment had provoked everyone’s wrath, as they all branded her with the label of the tyrannical landlord.
She immediately turned pale with fear; being labeled a landlord was even more terrifying than being called a capitalist. The former were mostly known for oppressing and exploiting the common people.
Whereas the latter made money through business.
“Xu Ying, stop spouting nonsense. You’re the real landlord here.” Gao Guihua’s face flushed red as she became angry and defensive, “I’m not a landlord; if I were, I wouldn’t be working in a restaurant.”
Xu Ying looked at her and chuckled, “Sister Gao, do you need to react so strongly? Or did I perhaps hit a nerve?”
“Nonsense, our family has been peasants for generations, pure and true. Stop spouting your nonsense,” Gao Guihua shouted furiously.
In an instant, Xu Ying’s gaze turned frosty, “Am I talking nonsense, or are you? My family has also been farmers for generations, pure and true. My dad is even the team leader of the Xujia Village production team.
He wholeheartedly works for the good of the villagers. Just yesterday, he was commended by the leaders, receiving both a certificate of merit and a bonus. Are you questioning the authorities, Sister Gao?”
“If that’s the case, I’ll have to report it to the Secretary and let him know just how dissatisfied Sister Gao you are with his decision.”
Gao Guihua was terrified upon hearing this; the Secretary was not someone she dared to offend, as a single word from him could get her fired.
Looking at Xu Ying, her previous arrogance had vanished, her face turned pale in an instant, “Xu Ying, I was just talking nonsense. I apologize. Let’s not take this matter to the Secretary, alright?”
Xu Ying snorted coldly and admonished her, “Then Sister Gao should learn to keep her mouth shut from now on, or else if you say the wrong thing and end up at the police station, no one will save you.”
Seeing how scared Gao Guihua was so early in the morning, she quickly nodded. Gao Xianghong, watching her, was extremely disgusted, “Big sister, why did you have to run your mouth? You almost dragged our entire family down with you.”
“Little sister, I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional. It’s all Xu Ying’s fault; she’s too sharp-tongued.” Gao Guihua’s teeth were still chattering at the thought of having almost gotten into trouble with the Secretary; her whole body felt numb with fear.
Meanwhile, Xu Ying was busy distributing the duck goods to everyone; some got half a duck wing, along with some vegetarian dishes.
Some got half a duck foot with a few vegetarian dishes.
The duck goods were few, but the vegetarian dishes were plentiful.
A bite of the marinated food revealed savory flavors that permeated the tender, delicate meat, fragrant yet not greasy.
The marinated duck feet glistened with a reddish hue, the dark red meat alluring. One sniff and the rich aroma was overwhelming; eating a piece was a delightful experience – the bone meltingly soft, the meat succulent without being overly fatty, with a sweet yet spicy taste that was extremely satisfying.
The marinated duck wings were even more delicious, with vibrant colors and duck meat that was tender and tasty, becoming more flavorful with each chew, similarly fulfilling one’s craving for something spicy.
Not to mention the other marinated foods, all of them were extremely tasty.
Unfortunately, everyone received too little, and it was because of this that after just one piece, their cravings were aroused; they felt a tantalizing itch and were eagerly anticipating the next batch of duck goods on Monday.
Some people were becoming desperate, unable to help but complain, “Master Xiao Xu, aren’t you tormenting us?
Why not sell it today, why wait until Monday? That’s still several days away!”
Xu Ying saw that everyone liked it and said with a smile, “It’s not that I don’t want to make it for everyone, but the ingredients needed for the duck goods take time to be delivered.
Thank you for enjoying it, and come Monday, I’ll give everyone a free small plate of vegetarian dish.”
The person had been joking initially, but upon hearing the surprise offer from Xu Ying of free vegetarian dishes, they were caught off guard.
They laughed heartily, “Then it’s a deal. We’ll all come, and Master Xiao Xu, you better prepare some extra vegetarian dishes to make sure there’s enough to go around.”
“Sure, sure, sure. I’ll make sure each one of you gets to enjoy these vegetarian dishes.” Xu Ying chatted with everyone happily.

Gao Guihua, watching from the side, was livid, thinking they might as well give away the dishes; as if the restaurant was her own personal property.
Fuming, she ran into the kitchen and went straight to Chef Ge, “Chef Ge, you’re in charge of the kitchen here. Take a look at Xu Ying, she’s walking all over you. Are you going to do something about it?
We’re running a restaurant, not a charity. If Xu Ying gives all these dishes away, how will we earn any money? What will we do if the leadership blames us?”
Chef Ge couldn’t stand her scheming. It was her own dissatisfaction, yet she insisted on dragging him into it and began to drive a wedge between them.
“Gao Guihua, as you’ve said, I’m in charge of the kitchen. I haven’t said a word, so why are you so worked up? If you want to replace me, just say it, and I will step aside for you right now.”
Gao Guihua was about to faint from anger. What was wrong with these people?
One after another, they were as if bewitched, showing such blatant favoritism towards Xu Ying.
