Buses carry sleeping tourists into the city, and in Beijing in winter, at six o'clock in the evening, the lights are already shining, and the neon is shining. The moving vehicles are running through the city in a series with their lights on, just like a fire dragon game in the capital.

The bus slowly stopped to the end of the "car sea fire dragon".

Gu Xiaotang stood in front of the car and woke up the tourists: "Wake up, everyone... This is the end of our trip to the Great Wall today, and we hope that today's time at the Great Wall can be a good memory of your trip to Beijing. We also ask for criticism of our travel agency and service deficiencies, and we accept reasonable suggestions and improve the system. In order to bring better service quality to everyone's future travel. Please bring your own luggage and belongings, get off the bus in order, and pay attention to safety. Thank you!"

The tourists hurriedly packed up their belongings, and did not hesitate to praise and praise their praise, praised Gu Dao, and got off the car and left.

Wu Fan walked at the back, was lightly touched by Gu Xiaotang, and whispered: "You wait for me at the door of the travel agency, and I will come out after I finish my work..."

Wu Fan nodded silently "um", and then walked towards the door of the travel agency.

Gu Xiaotang came to the manager's room on the second floor of the travel agency, pushed open the door and entered the house directly.

On the chair of the boss of the manager's room, there was a middle-aged woman wearing a professional suit, who was typing on the keyboard in front of the computer, and heard someone break in without knocking, and just wanted to lose her temper, but when she looked up and saw that it was Gu Xiaotang, her frowning brows immediately stretched out, and greeted her with a smile: "Xiaotang is back, how tired are you..."

Gu Xiaotang threw his satchel on the coffee table and sat on the sofa: "I'm really tired, but I feel very excited..."

The female manager took a glass of water from the water dispenser and brought it to Gu Xiaotang: "Silly girl, you won't enjoy it, but you ran to me to suffer..."

"Aunt Mei, I call it self-reliance, and I feel fulfilled in my life..."Gu Xiaotang took the water cup, blew it, and said with a sip.

The female manager sat down next to Gu Xiaotang, pulled Gu Xiaotang's slender hand and said, "It's still full! Look at this little hand frozen, running out all day long in the ice and snow, if you are frozen, how can I explain it to your parents..."

Gu Xiaotang withdrew his little hand: "Aunt Mei, I am me, they are them, you can't just take care of me because they put pressure on you... Look at this is my performance report, I eat by my ability..."Gu Xiaotang said and took out a slip of paper from his satchel and handed it to the female manager, saying proudly.

The female manager took the report and looked at it, and her eyes lit up with surprise: "Hey, isn't it good? You actually completed the task, and now is the off-season for tourism..."

Gu Xiaotang's face was full of excitement, and he said confidently: "Who am I, Gu Xiaotang, this little thing is not difficult for me... Bring it..."After speaking, he stretched out his little hand, as cute as a child who helped his parents finish their housework and asked for candy.

The female manager glanced at the playful Gu Xiaotang, and smiled charitantly: "Okay, Aunt Mei has already prepared it for you" As she spoke, she walked back to the boss's desk, opened the drawer, took out a thick envelope, handed it to Gu Xiaotang, and continued: "Aunt Mei invites you to dinner in the evening, treat our ancient guide..."

"Not today, I made an appointment for dinner, and I'll accompany you another day, Aunt Mei.." Gu Xiaotang took the envelope and opened it to see a thick pile of money, and the smile on his face suddenly converged: "Aunt Mei, why are there so many..."

The female manager smiled silently: "Take it, you live outside alone, and you have to use money everywhere..."

Gu Xiaotang's eyes rolled and seemed to understand something: "It's... That's what they mean, or whatever, I'll only take what I deserve... You can leave the rest to the travel agency for the bonus..."

Gu Xiaotang said as he took out a small part of the money from the envelope and put it in the satchel, stuffed the remaining thick wad of money back into the envelope and threw it on the coffee table, grabbed the satchel and ran.

"Xiaotang, you..." Gu Xiaotang left too fast, Aunt Mei didn't even have time to stop her, she looked at the empty door, smiled, shook her head helplessly and said to herself: "What a stupid girl, but I like this character..."

It was still very cold in the evening, the cold wind was cold, and Wu Fan, who was so cold that he only wore travel shoes, stomped his feet to keep warm. After waiting at the door of the travel agency for a long time, I finally saw Gu Xiaotang's figure.

Gu Xiaotang ran to Wu Fan without saying a word, pulled up Wu Fan and ran, and disappeared into the night.

At the window on the second floor, Aunt Mei's figure appeared, and she was a little puzzled when she saw this scene, and then she was overjoyed.

The "noodle" stopped in front of the Quanjude Gate on the side of the 3rd Ring Road, and Gu Xiaotang pulled the somewhat stubborn Wu Fan out of the car.

Gu Xiaotang pushed Wu Fan to Quanju Delhi: "If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and it is a pity not to eat roast duck." Today, since you are a hero, don't leave any regrets... Let's go inside, it's cold outside..."

Wu Fan is not a stingy person, but he is shy and asks a girl to invite him to dinner, originally he wanted to find a small shop to eat casually, who would have thought that Gu Xiaotang brought him to the roast duck restaurant, which made Wu Fan in a dilemma.

Walking into Quanjude, a smell of food hits, the dining table full of the house is almost full, and the noisy sound of drinking orders and pushing cups and changing lamps fills my ears. The waiter greeted him and had to shout, "Hello, how many of you are there?"

Gu Xiaotang stretched out his hand and gestured to Er, and then replied loudly: "Both!"

The waiter led Gu Xiaotang and Wu Fan to the dining table next to the bathroom inside: "I'm sorry, it's a meal now, there are many guests eating, and there is only this one left in the two-person table, it's quieter here..."

Gu Xiaotang looked at the environment, his stomach was already growling, and if he didn't sit here, he would have to wait for half a day to have a seat, so he had to sit down: "Okay, that's it."

Gu Xiaotang pulled Wu Fan, the two sat down, and the waiter handed over the menu: "What do you two eat?"

Gu Xiaotang pushed the menu aside, not looking at the menu, she ordered the dishes very skillfully: "A set of roast duck in the fruit wood hanging oven, a small fried bacon, cold spinach, a dozen beers, let's come to these first, it's not enough for us to want..."

The waiter took the menu and quickly wrote: "Okay, I'll place an order right away..."

Gu Xiaotang: "Wait, the roast duck is going to come to the scene to cut the slices, and the duck rack will make soup for me..."

The waiter looked at Gu Xiaotang and thought: This little girl still understands everything. casually agrees: "Okay!"

After the waiter left, Gu Xiaotang took off his down jacket and put it on the back of the chair, signaling Wu Fan to take off his coat. The heating in the Quanjude store is very sufficient, and you don't feel cold when you wear anything.

Wu Fan's eyes touched the plump two balls tightly wrapped around Gu Xiaotang's chest, his heart trembled, and he immediately looked away, resolving the embarrassment, and he asked without words: "Why do you want to cut the roast duck on the spot!?"

Gu Xiaotang didn't notice Wu Fan's embarrassment: "Oh, this is the inheritance of Quanjude for more than 100 years, the duck is sliced on the spot, and the roast duck is roasted for seven points and three points is on the slice." The whole process of slicing roast duck is 108 knives. A roast duck should be 108 slices, and it must be sliced with meat and skin, and the time for slicing a duck should not exceed 8 minutes. ”

"Eat a meal, so much attention to ..." Wu Fan was a little confused, thinking: Why don't you just have a meal, we have a lot of meat and a big mouthful of wine in the Northeast, just eat to your heart's content.

"Do you still want to ask, why does the duck rack make soup?"

Wu Fan stared at Gu Xiaotang and was about to speak, Gu Xiaotang leaned towards Wu Fan without waiting for Wu Fan's answer, and said mysteriously against Wu Fan's ear: "First, duck soup has the effect of clearing deficiency and working heat, nourishing yin and kidneys, and nourishing the stomach..."

Wu Fan blushed a little when he heard this, and thought: This girl dares to say anything

"Two, there is knowledge... You look closely at the customers who are paying to leave..."

Wu Fan looked at the bar, several customers were paying after eating, and it was nothing, it was quite normal!

Gu Xiaotang is a little tricky: "Ordinary customers don't know that the duck rack can ask to make soup and take it away, you see that they have neither duck soup nor take-away on the table, so what about the duck rack?!...

Wu Fan heard Gu Xiaotang say this, and after looking carefully, he found that there was really no duck soup on the table of those customers who left after eating, and there was no duck rack to take away, what about the duck rack?... With so many table guests, the duck rack is not a small number at the end of the day...

Gu Xiaotang saw that Wu Fan was silent, so he spoke: "Of course, the restaurant will not throw it away, they take the duck rack back to the back kitchen, and then either process it and sell it to customers again, or simply sell the duck rack to those illegal small vendors who make cooked food, and then, in the market..."

Wu Fan not only shuddered when he heard this, but also thought to himself: Can't the hotel tell the customers clearly, can't it be sunny to do things?"

Gu Xiaotang listened to Wu Fan's words, and laughed, laughing so much that Wu Fan was a little confused.

Gu Xiaotang wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter and explained: "Are you quite meticulous in your observation? The word "De" on the signboard is indeed missing a horizontal, but this has nothing to do with the duck frame, the word "De" in ancient times, just like a polyphonic word, it is a multi-written word, there are two ways to write, there can be a horizontal, or there is no horizontal. This can be confirmed by the inkblots of famous calligraphers of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, the word "de" in the imperial book of the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, "University Tablet", which is now standing in the Confucius Temple of Guozijian in Beijing, does not have a single horizontal; for example, the character "de" written by Zheng Banqiao, a Qing Dynasty painter who lived in the same period as the founding of Quanjude, has some with one horizontal and some without one horizontal. This shows that in the past, both ways of writing the word "de" were correct."

After listening to Gu Xiaotang's explanation, Wu Fan was once again impressed by Gu Xiaotang's knowledge, and he felt that "I am not as good as her".
