The man over 60 is the son-in-law of the founder of this shop of cured ducks who currently resides in the Pingtung County with another shop there.  I've talked to him knowing that their family originates from Nang Hai, Guangdong province of mainland China, which followed the Chiang's regime in moving to Taiwan in 1949.  He told me he is still in good health, and he was a Guomintang general when Taiwan was still under the rule of the Chiang's family.

Conversation last for half an hour with both of us standing in the shop as the shop is only a place for buying the ducks out but not eating the ducks there.  With NTD$170 I bought a pack of spicy duck which is a pre-packed, chopped up half-duck.  Besides half-duck you can also find a whole slew of duck items like duck wings, gizzard, liver....etc.  Spicy or not at the discretion of the customers, I've seen many local dwellers bought the duck and streaked away with their scooters parked outside the shop not even needed to take their helmets off.

The duck meat is a bit hard, it is intended to be eaten out of the fridge, but very tasty, a bit sweet with a balanced blend with the spiciness.  The duck skin is the gem alas not healthy, that's life!  I placed the duck inside the hotel's fridge and enjoyed a few pieces every morning, toothsome!

And above the taste of foods there is always the warmth and affection of southern Taiwanese to be treasured, what an experience!
