Chapter 52: Returning with Joy
The "Judequan" roast duck in the 70s is by no means the kind of electric roast duck that fools people in later generations, it is still the "Beijing Stuffed Duck" at the foot of Yuquan Mountain as raw materials, and it is roasted in a jujube wood hanging oven.

So it really lived up to Hong Yanwu's hard introduction, and it really lived up to its reputation. The skin of the duck meat is crisp and browned, melts in the mouth, and the fragrance is unbearable. The hot pancakes are served with roast duck sauce, green onions and roast duck, all rolled in one volume, and they are simply delicious.
In the following time, everyone drank heartily, and shook off their cheeks again. There was nothing left of the two roast ducks, and they all went into everyone's stomachs.
"Little Baizi" ate the most happily, eating six rolls of duck in a row, and finally ate a small belly with a round belly, and could not move when lying on the chair half-out.
But just like that, he still has a lot of aftertaste. He muttered straight in his mouth, "If you can eat roast duck every day, then it is enjoyable, I am afraid that when you become the emperor, a good life will be like this." ā
Hong Yanwu listened to it and immediately answered and joked. "If you want to be the emperor, it's easy, won't you have to open your own family in the future?"
And give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, as soon as I heard this, "Little Baizi" really remembered it.
"In that case, I'll just have one at noon, one at night, and eat something light in the morning, just come to the 'duck fat custard'......"
Such stupid words naturally attracted everyone's straight joy, and Su Xiu couldn't help but say, "Then you are not a capitalist, but be careful that the working class is looking for you to settle accounts." ā
But jokes are jokes, and unbelief is unbelief. The people present at the time never thought that when the time entered the nineties, "Xiao Baizi" really became the owner of the roast duck restaurant, and the brand name was "Duck Emperor".
And because the branches are all over the capital, the business is booming, and the brand of another well-known roast duck restaurant that should have appeared in the same era has completely disappeared.
It's a pity that by that time, the reborn "Little Baizi" had already taken roast duck seriously. He only occasionally "remembers the bitter and sweet" before ordering one, nostalgic for the first time when he ate roast duck with Hong Yanwu.
The so-called good food with good wine, this meal, everyone not only ate well, but also drank to the fullest.
Not only Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and Song Guofu drank up the whole bottle of "Wuliangye". Those bottles of beer and a bottle of "Osmanthus Chen" were also listed by the rest of the people.
At the end, Song Guofu was even a little unsatisfied, and went straight to Zhang Luo to have another bottle.
But Hong Yanwu saw that Master Meng yawned, and Hong Yanru and Su Xiu were also drunk and blushing, so they shook their heads and refused.
"As the saying goes, drinking is the highest if you are not drunk, being lustful and not chaotic is heroic, and you can't take ill-gotten wealth, and you can't bear to spare people and disasters. 'Big preserved fruit', you see that Master Meng is tired for a day, my sister and Xiu'er have drunk such wine for the first time, and you will have to send Fang Ting home in a while. So let's still be deaf and start a cannon battle - let's disperse. If you want to drink, we have a long time to come, and there is an opportunity. How?"
Song Guofu is a good person, seeing that Hong Yanwu is really unwilling, and what he said makes sense, he is no longer reluctant.
But at this point, through a day of contact, their relationship has reached the point where they can be called at will, and they can indeed be regarded as friends. So he just smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Wu, then let's talk about it, you can go to me when you have time." Building 1, Pingyuanli, Unit 201. ā
Hong Yanwu smiled slightly, and remembered the address in his heart. "Definitely. ā
At this point, everyone had nothing to say, and even packed up their things and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, it was time to part, and Hong Yanwu actually brought everyone another surprise - he made twelve duck racks from the back kitchen.
The so-called duck rack is the skeleton of the duck's bones. If a customer buys a whole duck at a roast duck restaurant, then according to the rules, the duck rack should also be handed over to the customer to take away.
In fact, because the chef slices roast duck, only the most essential and easy to cut the local slices are selected. Therefore, there are often a lot of bone-related meat left on the duck rack, which is the most fragrant and nutritious to take home for soup.
However, at that time, ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to eat roast duck, and they did not understand the rules of bringing duck back to the rack when they occasionally tasted it. As for the master who often eats, this situation is basically an official banquet, and it is really not good-looking to go back with a duck rack after eating.
So in this way, as many roast ducks are sold in the "Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant", there are basically as many duck racks left, and they will naturally become the "foreign Luoer" of waiters and chefs. (In the local language, it means to eat leftovers or use leftovers.) Originally, "Yangluoer" only referred to foreign goods, and later it was commonly used. ļ¼
For this reason, the restaurant has also issued a policy, and the duck rack can be taken out. However, considering the situation of the common people back then, once it is widely advertised, I am afraid that this duck rack will immediately be in short supply. Therefore, for the sake of internal interests, this article is constipated. Only the family members of internal employees and not many people know the inside story, and they often come to get some benefits.
As far as Hong Yanwu is concerned, he will not forget to ask for his own duck rack when he leaves, but he didn't expect to listen to the waiter that the duck rack wants to have it, only five cents.
These days, it's not easy to eat more meat. So as soon as he heard that there was such a good thing that was beneficial and not costly, in line with the principle of "taking advantage of the bastard", Hong Yanwu paid five yuan to buy ten more at that time.
Back then, every household didn't have a refrigerator, and after buying so many duck racks, of course Hong Yanwu couldn't eat it himself. His purpose is actually to benefit evenly, everyone who came today has a share, and in addition, he is also worried about the neighbors in the East Courtyard.
And his "wise and martial" decision was immediately welcomed by everyone. Except for Fang Ting, who was afraid of "folding face", (the local language, that is, the meaning of losing face and losing face) and refused to accept it, everyone else happily accepted it. Song Guofu asked for one, and Master Meng took two.
As for "Little Baizi", because of the situation at home, Hong Yanwu not only gave them duck racks, but also picked a lunch box of his favorite "green pepper duck" from the meat dishes he was going to bring back, and asked him to take it home for his old man and sister to taste. For this, "Little Baizi" was so moved that he couldn't speak, and his eyes were red again.
In this way, after the duck rack was distributed, everyone walked out of the door of the "Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant" with many oil-paper bags in their hands. And this sumptuous dinner left a deep impression on the hearts of everyone who was satisfied. Especially "Little Baizi", Hong Yanru and Su Xiu, for a long time, they can still think of the excitement and joy of this roast duck from time to time.
When he went back, Hong Yanwu took into account the large number of people and the duck frame was oily, because he was afraid of soiling the director's car, so he declined Song Guofu's invitation and did not rub Master Meng's car again. Instead, he took the rest of the group and chose to take the bus home.
But he didn't expect that in today's short meal time, he had left a great impression on the director and driver, Master Meng. On the way back, Master Meng still maintained considerable interest and chatted with Song Guofu about his situation.
"Guofu, your friend named Xiao Wu is really good. He knows how to advance and retreat, is polite, not only talkative, but also funny. I look younger than you, but I can be thoughtful in all aspects, and I have a very good set of things for people. If he hadn't said that his family had opened a restaurant in the past, I would have thought that he would be a child of the 'capitalist roaders' (the "capitalist roaders" are abbreviated for "those in power who take the capitalist road", that is, the leading cadres in the 'movement' who were overthrown for right-leaning charges). This kid is going to enter the officialdom, and most of them will be able to mix up an official and a half-job in the future......"
"I also think people are good. Enough friends, morality, and knowing everything, I used to think he could beat him? But Master Meng, you didn't see it today, he beat nine by himself, that's a lot of fun......
"Haha, it's up to me to do this, if I don't have a bad foot. I won't let you be bullied by bad boys. Fortunately, you still have such a friend, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to Song Ju. Actually, if I want to talk about it, I have to thank him very much. I really didn't expect that this kid is still a material with both civil and military skills. ā
"What, Master Meng, don't think too highly of him. In fact, he doesn't even have a formal job, what future can he have?" Fang Ting suddenly interjected, and she didn't know what her psychology was, she wasn't very happy to hear others praise Hong Yanwu.
"I don't have a job, hey, it's actually nothing, as long as there is a way, friends are willing to help, sometimes, that's just a matter of a sentence......"
Master Meng smiled and glanced at the rearview mirror in the car, and he nodded quietly, this was taking the opportunity to help Hong Yanwu.
Sure enough, Song Guofu's expression moved, as if he had thought of something.
But at this moment, Fang Ting actually intervened again as if she couldn't see Hong Yanwu.
She said disdainfully, "It's useless for someone to help, that kid came back from Chadian, and because of the fight, he even lost his account in the capital." If you want to find a job, let's solve the hukou problem first......"
As soon as Master Meng heard this, he couldn't say anything more. Only to play haha, passing by.
But Fang Ting didn't know what illness she was committing, and she was still chattering, and began to count Hong Yanwu vigorously, saying that this kid didn't feel distressed about spending other people's money, and it wasn't enough to take advantage of it, and today he was taking Song Guofu's money as a favor, eating and taking and buying good cigarettes and wine, and he regarded Song Guofu as a big wrongdoer. In the future, Song Guofu has to be careful of Hong Yanwu, don't let this kid take advantage of him and become addicted."
And just when Master Meng and Song Guofu were very embarrassed to hear it, and they both frowned, she didn't give up, and asked how much Song Guofu had spent.
What neither Fang Ting nor Master Meng expected was that Song Guofu was in a hurry when he heard this, but instead gave them an absolutely unexpected answer.
"It's Hong Yanwu's money today, and this meal is more than forty. I was going to pay for it, but he didn't let him live or die, and told me that making friends can't be maintained by spending money alone, and that would be just a friend of wine and meat......"
As soon as these words came out. Fang Ting and Master Meng couldn't help but be surprised.
But on the contrary, for a while, no one in the car spoke.
All three of them looked out their windows at the street lamps reflecting on the road, falling into an unusual silence. Although at this time, they are all thinking about the same person, but they have different feelings in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
