Miao, the shopkeeper of Feicuixuan, sniffed.

"What are you cooking in the kitchen? It smells so good."

Miao Dong, who was standing by, said cautiously, "Second Uncle, it seems like the smell is coming from Huajianzui next door."

"Drunk in Flowers." Shopkeeper Miao suddenly remembered that Song Yuntang had said yesterday that he would give him the roast duck recipe. Isn't the smell wafting out now similar to the taste of roast duck?

No wonder Miss Song said it was a feature.

Who wouldn’t feel confused after smelling this smell?

He stood up in a hurry and said, "Please help me look after the Jade Pavilion. I'll be back soon."

If the kitchen hadn't already started working, he would definitely have grabbed the chef and gone with him.

Miao Dong was nervous.

"Second Uncle, I can't do it."

"If you can't do it, get out of here!"

After making these harsh remarks, the man had already walked out of the door of Feicuixuan.

Shopkeeper Miao carried his robe all the way into Huajianzui's backyard. Fang Tianci knew where he came from and didn't dare to stop him. He just reminded him at the back door.

"Miss, Shopkeeper Miao is here."

"Miss Song, what good things are you making?" Shopkeeper Miao looked at her and asked.

Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile, "Didn't I agree with the shopkeeper yesterday that we would sell the roast duck recipe to Feicui Xuan today? From yesterday to today, this roast duck has taken a lot of effort on my part."

Manager Miao was delighted. If he really bought the recipe, Feicuixuan would definitely attract a large number of customers. The boss would definitely reward him. Maybe at the end of the year, he could even get a few more taels of silver in dividends.

"I can smell the aroma from far away. I wonder how long it will take for Miss Song's roast duck to be ready?"

As he spoke, he stretched his neck to look towards the oven.

Song Yuntang walked towards the oven, opened the lid and took a look. The skin of the roast duck had turned orange-red. As the lid was opened, the aroma in the yard became even stronger.

"I estimate it will be ready in another quarter of an hour." She looked at Shopkeeper Miao, "It's dinner time now, and I think the Jadeite Court is busy. Shopkeeper Miao, please go back first. I'll go find you at the Jadeite Court when the roast duck is out of the oven."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Miss Song at the Jade Pavilion." After saying that, Manager Miao went back to the Jade Pavilion.

A quarter of an hour later, Song Yuntang took out the fragrant and steaming roast duck, cut it with a knife and tasted it, then placed it on a bamboo plate lined with oil paper, covered it with another bamboo plate, and carried it to the Jade Pavilion.

Seeing this, Xu Wencheng looked in the direction of Xu Qingye.

"Brother, why don't you go with us to take a look? What if the owner of the Jade Pavilion does something bad? If you are there, you can also support my sister-in-law."

Xu Qingye smiled faintly and shook his head.

"Trust your sister-in-law. Nothing will happen if we're just separated by a wall."

Every day when she went out, the girl would stuff a lot of medicinal powder into her sleeves. Although I don’t know what it is used for, based on the experience of dealing with the Huang family servants in the mountains, it should not be something good.

Seeing that his husband was not worried, Xu Wencheng went about his own business.

Song Yuntang came to Feicuixuan, the backyard where Miao Dong went to meet her.

"Shopkeeper, Miss Song is here."

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Miao hurriedly called Zhang Chengfu, who was watching his apprentices busy in the kitchen.

"Chef Zhang, come here too." Then he quickly invited Song Yuntang to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, "Miss Song, please sit down."

Song Yuntang placed the bamboo plate on the stone table, opened the lid, and revealed two roast ducks with orange-red skin.

She picked up the small knife from the tray, cut a few small pieces of duck meat from the back of the roast duck and put them on the plate, then pushed the plate towards the two of them.

"Shopkeeper Miao and Chef Zhang should try it first."

The two nodded and each took a small piece and put it in their mouths.

The roast duck is just the right amount of fat and lean, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

Chef Zhang looked at Shopkeeper Miao in disbelief.

"This smells like this!"

Shopkeeper Miao was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with the taste?"

He eats very well.

Chef Zhang's expression became visibly excited.

"The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the aroma of the roast duck blends with the fragrance of the sauce. It has a hint of sweetness in the mouth, but it won't make you feel sick. With my nearly twenty years of kitchen experience, if the owner adds this dish to our Feicui Xuan menu, it will definitely be a big hit!"

As the chef of Feicui Xuan, he can also benefit if the restaurant business is good.

Some diners who eat well will ask their servants to pass tips to the kitchen. Not only that, the host will also reward them.

Shopkeeper Miao looked at Song Yuntang.

"I wonder what price you would like to sell this roast duck recipe for, young lady?"

"Since the shopkeeper has tasted my roast duck, he should know its value. It's because Feicuixuan is close to Huajianzui that he didn't send the recipe to the other two restaurants." Song Yuntang held up three fingers. "The price is thirty taels of silver. I'll only sell it to Feicuixuan in Cile Town. Once I get the money, I'll immediately hand over the roast duck recipe to Chef Zhang."

Shopkeeper Miao looked hesitantly in the direction of Chef Zhang.

Seeing him nod, he replied, "Okay!"

He turned to look at Miao Dong beside him and said, "Go ask the accountant to withdraw thirty taels of silver from the restaurant's account."

Although the price of this recipe is a bit expensive, the boss will not say anything as long as the money earned later can make up for the loss.

Song Yuntang took the silver and handed the detailed recipe he had already written to Chef Zhang.

"I've also drawn the oven for making roast duck on paper. If Chef Zhang still has questions later on, he can come find me next door. If I'm not here, the two cooks in the shop have seen me make it, and if they don't understand it either, they'll try to tell me."

Chef Zhang holds the recipe in his hand.

"Won't you get drunk among the flowers next?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "My husband is going to the county town to study, so I have to stay with him for a few days. But I will be back after I find him a place to live, so I won't stay there for too long."

When Manager Miao heard this, he quickly raised his hand and bowed.

"The young lady's husband is actually a scholar."

She vaguely remembered the man who had followed her before. He had a gentle and elegant temperament and looked different from ordinary people. He had no doubt that he was a scholar. Moreover, since he could go to the county town to study, he must be a scholar at least.

It seems that we cannot make enemies with Madam Song.

Song Yuntang smiled, put the whole roast duck on the table on the tray, and took another roast duck with a small piece cut off.

"This whole roast duck is for Shopkeeper Miao. It's up to you to decide whether to divide it into small pieces for the restaurant's guests to taste or to enjoy as a snack among yourselves. But you have to eat it while it's hot; it won't taste as good when it's cold."

Roast duck is difficult to make. Once you have roasted it, you have to share it with everyone in the shop to try it.

After she finished speaking, she returned to Huajianzui with the roast duck in her hand.
