Chapter 449: Roast Duck

"Third brother, is the food you prepared ready, my stomach is almost hungry?" In the living room of Zhao Yan's newly bought house, Hu Yanping knocked on the table and shouted, in addition to him, there are also his wife in the living room, as well as Zhao Yan and Cao Ying, today Zhao Yan invited them and his wife to taste a special delicacy, but it is already afternoon, and the food has not yet been served.

"Okay, don't call it, who doesn't know the food of the third brother's family, since he specially called us, it is definitely not ordinary food, it is worth waiting a little longer!" At this time, Hu Yanping's wife glanced at him and said, this Cao Ying's third sister has a single name and a Ni character, and her pungent personality is famous in Tokyo, usually Hu Yanping is in her hands, but in Zhao Yan's opinion, Hu Yanping is also happy, so it seems that the relationship between their husband and wife is still good.

"Haha, the third sister still has a vision, the last time I came back from Xianwei with Brother Huyan, I thought of this delicacy, but it is not easy to make this delicacy, it has been prepared from that day to yesterday It is almost completed, it can be said that I also tasted this delicacy for the first time, and I don't know how it tastes?" Zhao Yan also laughed at this time, in order to make this delicacy, during the period he instructed the kitchen to make a lot of real food, and the real products made were eaten by the little bean sprouts, and it was not until yesterday that the cook made the qualified food required by Zhao Yan, so he invited Hu Yanping and his wife over.

"The food made by the husband is very mysterious, the kitchen has made a lot of trial products in the past few days, but unfortunately they have been given to the girls around by the husband to eat, we can't taste it in advance. So I'm curious about what kind of food it is. Cao Ying also said playfully at this time, but her words were also half-straight and half-false, and it was true that she hadn't tasted this delicacy beforehand. However, she had already known what Zhao Yan was going to do.

"Hearing the fourth sister say this, the slave family is even more curious, and I have to taste it seriously for a while!" At this time, Cao Ni smiled again and said, during this time, there were many happy events in her family, first the duck's matter was solved, and then Hu Yanping's illness had hope of being cured, which made her also in a very good mood. There is a little smile on his face all day long.

Just as Zhao Yan and the others were talking, they saw Mi Xue walk in with four maids each carrying a tray, and then sent it to Zhao Yan and the four of them. I saw a large plate in each person's tray, with a roasted golden duck on the plate, and several small plates around the big plate, which contained four kinds of pancakes, pasta, cucumber shreds, and green onion white shreds. It is a very authentic way to eat Shandong roast duck in later generations. In fact, it is also the roast duck represented by Quanjude.

"Come on, come on~, let's taste this roast duck while it's hot!" Zhao Yan immediately greeted Cao Ying and said, what he is going to do in the past few days is this roast duck, the most difficult of which is the stove, and it took several craftsmen to build it, and then let the cook try to make it a few times, and finally grasp the heat, which can be said to be very difficult.

Hu Yanping and his wife saw that the food they had waited for for a long time and finally waited for was just a roast duck. At the moment, they are all looking at each other, and their Zhuangzi was originally to feed ducks. Almost any kind of duck recipe has been eaten, and Zhao Yan used a roast duck to entertain them, which was really a bit of a fuss.

Zhao Yan also saw the change in the expressions on the faces of Hu Yanping and his wife, but he was not in a hurry to explain, but picked up a thin dough cake and spread it on his hand, and then smeared some sweet noodle sauce on the cake, and then put the roast duck meat, green onion white shreds, and cucumber shreds on it, and the roast duck sent up looked like a whole, but in fact, it had been cut into thin slices by the chef with exquisite knife work, and then spelled into ducks, which could not be seen at all if you didn't look carefully.

I saw Zhao Yan roll up the duck meat and green onion white silk with a thin cake, and then put it in his mouth and bite it gently, his face immediately showed a look of intoxication, he had eaten roast duck in his previous life, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to go to Beijing, and naturally he had never tasted the authentic Quanjude roast duck, but now he felt that the roast duck made by his own chef was not as good as the duck of Quanjude, but it was much stronger than the roast duck he ate in other restaurants in his previous life.

Hu Yanping and Cao Ying were very surprised when they saw the intoxicated look on Zhao Yan's face, they all knew that Zhao Yan was very picky about food, and the taste of food that could make him show such an expression could be imagined. At the moment, the three of them also did the same, and followed Zhao Yan to wrap the duck meat and noodle sauce in crepes, and then put them in their mouths and bite them gently, which shocked them to find that the duck meat in their mouths was crispy and sweet, and then mixed with the taste of pasta sauce and other seasonings, forming an indescribable delicacy in the mouth, which was simply a rare enjoyment.

After tasting the first bite of the roast duck, Cao Ying and the three of them couldn't hold it anymore, ate the bread in their hands in a few bites, and then quickly wrapped a big meal, and after a while, the duck in front of Hu Yanping and Zhao Yan was eaten by them, Cao Ni and Cao Ying couldn't finish eating a duck, but they also ate most of it.

"Whew~, third brother, your roast duck is so delicious, compared with your duck, the ducks I have eaten before are simply not worth mentioning!" Cao Ni sighed at this time, said with a comfortable expression, and at the same time sent the uneaten duck in front of him to Hu Yanping, but Hu Yanping was not polite, and ate it when he picked up the plate, anyway, they are all a family, and they don't have to worry about etiquette or anything like that.

"Haha, although there are roast ducks sold in the capital, I bet that their roast duck can't be compared to mine at all!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but say proudly when he heard the other party's praise.

The history of roast duck is very long, but it was not until later generations that a secret of roast duck was invented, that is, when roasting duck, boiling water is poured into the duck's belly, so that the roasted duck will not only not lose water and become hard, but also the roasted duck skin is thin and crispy, becoming the best place on the roast duck. Of course, in addition, the stove is also very important, in addition to the grasp of the heat, as well as the selection and slaughter of ducks, etc., are all particular, only the above steps are done, in order to make such a delicious duck.

"What the husband said is very true, not to mention the entire Tokyo City, even the entire Great Song Dynasty is difficult to find such a delicious duck, and even this dish alone is enough to support a thriving restaurant!" Cao Ying also wiped her mouth with a wet towel at this time and said, although the roast duck is delicious, it is easy to apply the noodle sauce to the mouth if you are not careful.

"If there is really a restaurant that sells this kind of roast duck, I will definitely go there every day in the future!" At this time, Hu Yanping finally ate up Cao Ni's remaining ducks, but there was still some unfinished business.

"Giggles, the fourth sister's Qiwei Lou is one of the top restaurants in Beijing, if this dish is launched, it will definitely attract more people to taste, the third sister is here to congratulate the fourth sister on her prosperous business!" Cao Ni smiled again at this time.

Hearing Cao Ni's words, Cao Ying first showed a thinking expression, and then shook her head and said: "No, there are enough dishes in Qiwei Building, and the number of guests every day has reached the maximum, even if you add some new dishes, I'm afraid you won't be able to increase much income, so I think the best way is to open another restaurant, and just the dish of roast duck can support the entire restaurant!" ”

Although Cao Ying is young, she is a well-known businessman in the circle of noblewomen, after all, everyone knows that when she and Zhao Yan got married, the county king's mansion was in debt, but now it is less than three years, and the county king's mansion has turned losses into profits, and it can even be said that it is wealthy, of course, a large part of this qiē credit belongs to Zhao Yan, but outsiders don't know, so they put these credits on Cao Ying, which also created Cao Ying's virtue of managing well.

When Cao Ni heard Cao Ying say this, her eyes couldn't help but light up and said: "Fourth sister's idea is good, if you really open a roast duck restaurant, don't forget to give priority to ordering the ducks in our Zhuangzi at that time!" ”

Hearing that Cao Ni only thought about selling the ducks on his Zhuangzi, and didn't think about anything else at all, this made Zhao Yan and Cao Ying a little disappointed, but they were also prepared for this, and at that moment they saw Cao Ying suddenly sigh and said: "I want to open another restaurant, but unfortunately during this time, the palace has to build a workshop and buy a house, and as a result, I have used up all the money in the family, and I really can't afford to open a restaurant again!" ”

"Giggles, fourth sister, you are really joking, who doesn't know that your county king's mansion is making money every day, just a soap workshop is enough for us people to envy!" Cao Ni smiled again at this time, she is a strong person and has never been very convincing, but she is very convinced of Cao Ying's sister.

"Third sister, the lady didn't deceive people this time, during this time, the house spent money like running water, and it was really powerless to open a restaurant again, but I think that if the third sister is interested, how about we open a restaurant together?" Zhao Yan finally told the main purpose of inviting Hu Yanping and his wife to come today, a few days ago when he just thought of roast duck, he had already saved this thought, on the one hand, he really couldn't come up with money in his house, and secondly, Hu Yanping and his wife were not having a good time, after all, the income from selling ducks on Zhuangzi alone was limited, and it was not very stable, so it was better to ask them to open a restaurant together, so it could also help them.

"Hekai Restaurant?" Cao Ni was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Yan's mention, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Yan and Cao Ying with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, as if he had seen through the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them, which also made Zhao Yan's heart tighten, thinking that it seems that the daughters of the Cao family are not simple!
