Chapter 1061: Shen Li! You Are Shen Li!
As He Bin spoke, he had already walked to the back roasting room, opened the door of the hanging oven, and used a hook to pull out a freshly roasted goose.
The skin of the roast goose was ruddy, crystal clear, and glistening with oil, looking extremely tempting.
Seeing this, Shen Li and Wang Ziyu took out their phones with surprisingly synchronized movements. He Bin laughed and held the roast goose in front of them so they could take pictures.
The oil was still dripping down the smooth, translucent goose body. Shen Li couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Then she saw He Bin place the roast goose on the cutting board. The board was behind the fully transparent glass at the entrance. Every day, He Bin would cut and sell it right there, and customers would queue outside the window.
He began to cut the goose with practiced movements. With each stroke of the knife, the goose meat was cut into uniform pieces. The subcutaneous fat had all melted and permeated into the goose meat. The aroma of fat mixed with the aroma of meat; just smelling it was enough to make one dizzy with delight.
"Oh my, boss, is there still roast goose for sale at this time today?"
Just then, a passerby saw He Bin cutting the goose through the glass and quickly walked over: "Give me half a goose, quick!"
Hearing this, He Bin quickly explained: "I'm sorry, this is just reserved for family, not for sale."
The man looked disappointed upon hearing this. His gaze also noticed the two young girls standing beside He Bin, and he persisted: "Sell me a little, a quarter is fine. I haven't been able to queue up for several days; I'm really craving this."
He Bin smiled helplessly, but before he could speak, Shen Li took the initiative: "Uncle-in-law, then sell a quarter to this uncle. The two of us girls can't eat a whole one anyway."
"Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you, young lady." The uncle thanked her quickly upon hearing this.
Since Shen Li had spoken, He Bin naturally couldn't refuse, so he cut a quarter and sold it to the man. The man paid and said happily: "Great, I managed to pick up a bargain today."
"Boss, your roast goose technique is really not bad. It's the best roast goose I've ever eaten. It's just that the amount you make every day is too little. Ten geese? I think you could sell a hundred."
He Bin just smiled. It was Shen Li who helped him explain: "I'm sorry, Uncle. This shop is managed by my uncle-in-law alone. From slaughtering to processing, then roasting and cutting, it's all done by my uncle-in-law alone. If he gets too tired, his body won't be able to take it after a long time."
"The young lady is really considerate. Health is indeed the most important thing."
He Bin said: "Brother, come earlier next time."
"Alright, I'll definitely come early next time. Today was just a coincidence. Thank you."
The customer walked away satisfied, carrying the roast goose.
He Bin didn't dare to dawdle and quickly finished cutting the remaining goose, afraid that someone else would see there was still some left.
"Eat quickly, this is truly fresh out of the oven."
Shen Li had been impatient for a long time, but she still let Wang Ziyu take the first bite: "Ziyu, you eat first."
"Okay." Wang Ziyu picked up a piece with anticipation, dipped it in plum sauce, and took a cautious bite.
"Is it good?"
"Delicious. Sister A-Li, you didn't lie to me; it's really delicious."
Shen Li raised her eyebrows triumphantly: "Of course. And fresh out of the oven is the best, which is why I said I must bring you to my uncle-in-law's shop to eat."
"If you like it, come often. Just tell me in advance, and I'll prepare it," He Bin said with a smile from the side.
He was born with a good temper and looked kind; he had the face for business.
Shen Li asked while eating, looking at He Bin: "Uncle-in-law, can you handle it alone?"
Although he only roasted ten geese a day, he was the only one from start to finish.
"I can handle it. It's much easier than when I was in Shengang. Back then, your aunt and I had to roast geese and ducks every day, and make soy sauce chicken and white-cut chicken. We were busy from dawn until night; that was tiring."
"Now I just process the geese during the day, hang them in the hanging oven, and when the time is up, I just set the oven to keep-warm mode."
"And now Guangrong comes to help me too. After he got familiar with the process, he can save me a lot of trouble."
Shen Li widened her eyes in surprise: "Guangrong is starting to learn how to roast geese now? Didn't you and Auntie not let him do these things before?"
Back in Shengang, when the family was busy, Guangrong and Suisui both wanted to help their parents share the burden, but He Bin and Shen Yingying never let them help.
He Bin smiled and said: "Guangrong was still in school back then. Although his grades were always bad, your aunt and I still hoped he could focus on his studies."
"And making roast meat is very tiring. Your aunt and I didn't want Guangrong to do this in the future, so we never allowed him and Suisui to learn."
"But now Guangrong isn't in school anymore, and the family's situation has improved, so there are no such concerns. It's good that he comes to help me when he has nothing to do."
Shen Li nodded in agreement: "Guangrong is the most sensible."
He Bin said with a smile: "He actually has quite a talent. He can basically learn the things I teach him in one go."
Listening to things about Guangrong, Wang Ziyu ate with great relish and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle-in-law, does your roast goose have some secret recipe? It's really delicious; there's a very fragrant smell."
"Of course." He Bin said with rare pride: "My roast goose is first marinated and then roasted. This marinade is very particular. The recipe was adjusted over a hundred times in the past ten years; no one else can make my taste."
Shen Li also said to Wang Ziyu: "Back in Shengang, the people around my aunt's house were all their long-time regular customers. Many people drove dozens of kilometers to buy it."
Afraid they would get tired of eating, He Bin stood up with a smile: "I'll go across the street to buy you some drinks. You eat slowly; Guangrong will be back soon. He went to deliver food to your aunt."
"Thank you, Uncle-in-law."
As a result, just as He Bin reached the door, he almost bumped into someone outside.
"Boss He!"
Upon seeing He Bin, the other party immediately showed a flattering and ingratiating smile: "You're in the shop. I thought it was closed again."
The man was wearing a suit and looked to be the same age as He Bin. From his attire and temperament, it wasn't hard to see that he should be a successful businessman.
And seeing the other party, He Bin's face showed helplessness: "Why are you here again?"
The man gave a sheepish smile: "Didn't I say last time to let Boss He consider it? I have to come again to show my sincerity, right?"
He Bin sighed and said: "Didn't I say last time that I wouldn't consider it? Don't bother anymore, don't waste your time here."
At this moment, Shen Li walked over curiously, looked at the man outside the door with confusion, and then looked at her uncle-in-law and asked: "Uncle-in-law, what's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, the man recognized Shen Li at a glance and exclaimed in surprise: "Shen Li! You are Shen Li!"
