Isn’t it a bit too intense? Is it really necessary to get this heated just for eating saltwater duck?

The older man in front expressed that he completely couldn’t understand the young man behind him.

Once the duck meat was stuffed into his mouth, he couldn’t suppress his fervent expression.

Anyone aware would know you’re eating duck meat; otherwise, they’d think you’re doing something else entirely!

Looking down at the saltwater duck in the young man’s hand, the older man couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

Even though he was reluctant to admit it, the appearance of this duck meat seemed indeed better than the Drunken Duck Inn’s!

And it only sells for 25 yuan...

Oh no, it’s the feeling of being moved!

What to do? I’ve already taken 500 yuan. Wouldn’t simply running across seem too unprofessional?

For a moment, the older man fell into deep conflict.

Shen Teng didn’t care what the older man was thinking; he was thoroughly enjoying the duck meat.

No doubt about my bro Wang’s profound skills!

With saltwater duck, it’s all about the simplicity; what you’re savoring is the natural deliciousness of the duck.

The blend of various marinated ingredients by bro Wang is unparalleled, perfectly showcasing the duck’s exquisite flavor.

The most meaty parts of the whole duck, the thighs and the rump, give a full mouthful satisfaction, and combined with the tender texture of the duck meat, they elevate the dish to heights beyond its usual realm!

To become a culinary delight in bro Wang’s hands is a blessing for you ducks across generations!

"Hey bro, could you let me try a piece of duck meat? You seem to be enjoying it so much that it’s making me crave it."

The older man asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Teng’s first reaction was to refuse.

Neither my wife, my car, nor Boss Wang’s food is shareable; that’s my unbreakable rule. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But thinking about today’s situation, wouldn’t sharing a few pieces of duck actually help bro Wang?

Perhaps shamelessly securing a free meal later wouldn’t be a problem, right?

"Just one piece, the duck is too delicious; if it weren’t for you looking so kind, I wouldn’t share at all."

"Thank you, thank you..."

The older man was very happy, repeatedly expressing his thanks, though he couldn’t help but wonder—what did he mean by saying it’s because I’m kind?

Shen Teng rummaged and picked out the smallest piece of meat for the older man, who looked at his most desired piece in the bowl but didn’t dare to ask for it.

He received the duck meat, gave it a thorough look, then sniffed under his nose; apart from the delicious duck and the five-spice aroma, nothing else could be detected.

Moreover, one must admit, the fragrance of this duck meat was genuinely pure, and the salty aroma was undoubtedly superior to that of Drunken Duck Inn!

The older man put the duck meat in his mouth, and immediately his facial expression became extremely colorful, even more exaggerated than Shen Teng’s.

Salty, fresh, tender, fragrant.

Every fantasy about saltwater duck was vividly embodied in this one piece of meat!

The tender texture represented the chef’s mastery over the cooking temperature, while the duck’s ultimate freshness highlighted the chef’s skill in balancing the spices.

I would call it the strongest saltwater duck!

No way, I can’t take it anymore!

The older man felt the hunger within him and his unrestrained craving for gourmet food completely aroused, barely hesitating before running out of the queue, standing in front of Wang Fan’s line despite it having over fifty people.

Shen Teng chuckled, taking a step forward.

The older man ahead of him, seeing his companion rush over to the other side, was astonished. What’s up with that guy?

Looking stiffly at the duck meat in Shen Teng’s hand, the saltwater duck was supposedly that good? Worth giving up 500 yuan just to eat from the other side?

Since he had already given a piece away and decided to secure a free meal today regardless, Shen Teng generously asked, "Would you like a taste too?"

The older man silently nodded.

He understood his companion; if it wasn’t for an exceptionally stunning taste, he wouldn’t just leave 500 yuan behind to queue at the opposite side.

He was very curious too about just how delicious that young man’s saltwater duck could be.

The meat entered his mouth, and this older man became enlightened, saying nothing further, he exited the line and walked towards the other side.

Shen Teng moved up another place, locking eyes with another older man, who made his intention clear—he wanted a taste too.

Shen Teng bluntly refused, "No way, what’s left now is what I enjoy, if you want to eat, go queue up yourself."

As he spoke, he clutched the box tightly to his chest.

The older man was speechless, why was it not following the script with him?

However, those two fellows... uh, companions, went over there without hesitation; does that mean the duck’s flavor is simply irresistible?

The older man pondered, unable to suppress his curiosity, he walked directly towards Wang Fan’s side.

Once curiosity arises, it’s tough to suppress. Shen Teng was like an ant on a levee, creating a small breach that triggered a flood.

Many who were initially in line at the Drunken Duck Inn switched over to Wang Fan’s queue.

Although the duck at Drunken Duck Inn was tasty, these people had mostly tried it before, and there was no novelty in having it again. The vendor opposite, however, was an outsider, making them curious whether this outsider could elevate the Nanjing specialty dish.

Wang Fan now had a sea of people before him and didn’t notice many had come over from the other side. He continued to methodically chop the duck.

Meanwhile, the second pot of marinated meat was already cooking; once the first batch sold out, the second would be ready for sale.

As more people purchased saltwater duck, discussions became more rampant.

There was no other choice; it was simply too delicious!

Nanjing’s saltwater duck is akin to Guangfu’s white-cut chicken or the Northeast’s guo bao rou; it’s something people grew up eating. Making a standout version of such ingrained flavors is incredibly challenging.

Yet, everyone was surprised to find this young boss truly achieved it!

The seasoning flavors were more subtle, making the natural duck taste more prominent.

The duck skin had a crispier texture, the duck meat was more tender, and the salty aroma more intense. Each muscle fiber was deeply infused with the flavor of pepper and salt.

When these elements combined, the energy burst on the taste buds instantly, astonishing every diner.

"My goodness, it feels like I’m eating saltwater duck for the first time, even though I’ve eaten at least 800 if not 1000! It’s incredibly aromatic!"

"I’ve never tasted saltwater duck with such unbeatable control over cooking time. It feels like it’s truly at the perfect critical point; the tender texture is simply unrivaled."

"I feel a bit sheepish now. The best saltwater duck turned out to be made by an outsider?"

"Mainly, the price is so affordable too. I’m doomed; I feel utterly enticed now."
