Chapter 179: Eat Roast Duck
When I came to the office of the technical department, the hall was dark, and my colleagues had already left work.
Only a desk next to Mr. Deng's office still has a faint light, which is Luo Qian's desk.
When I got closer, I realized that she was lying on her desk, asleep.
I slept soundly, and I couldn't bear to wake her up.
This little girl is actually quite cute, small and exquisite, although her facial features are not particularly exquisite, but they are also remarkable.
Especially her mouth shape, small and delicate, quite good-looking.
On her desk, there are mountains of documents and post-it notes of various colors.
Each post-it note has a record of tasks, as well as some reminders of her work.
She is really a very qualified assistant, and when I was in my previous company, the company also assigned me a design assistant.
It's not that I'm hurting people now, but in comparison, Luo Qian is much better than her.
When Luo Qian turned over, she opened her glasses in a daze, and she happened to meet my eyes.
After a brief pause, she quickly raised her head, looked at me with wide eyes, and said, "You, when did you come?" ”
"Why did you sleep in the company not long ago?"
"Didn't I wait for you, I don't know why I went to sleep, what time is it?"
"It's almost seven o'clock."
"Let's go, it's not too late." She stood up, picked up her bag and said to me.
"Do you really want to invite me to dinner? Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. ”
"I've been waiting for you for so long, am I talking to you?"
I didn't want to refuse anymore, so I had to smile and nodded: "Okay, what do you invite me to eat?" ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat Peking duck?"
"It's so late, can you still eat it? I read the guides on the Internet that say to make an appointment in advance! ”
Luo Qian smiled and said, "I already made an appointment in the morning, let's just go directly." ”
"I heard that it's quite expensive, so it won't let you break the bank, right?"
"Not yet, let's go."
Turning off all the lights in the office, I went downstairs with Luo Qian.
She doesn't have a car, the car I drove yesterday is also a company car, and I have returned the car keys.
At seven o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark in Beijing, and in its place were all kinds of neon lights, lighting up the city that never sleeps.
Beijing is worthy of being the leading city in the country, and its prosperity is really created by countless people with hard work and time.
Even at this time, the roads are still full of traffic and are brightly lit.
Luo Qian told me that even if it is 12 o'clock at night, there will still be traffic jams, because many large factories do not leave work until 10 o'clock at night, so it is relatively early now.
This kind of survival pressure is really too much, and we don't get off work until 10 o'clock in the evening, which most of us in Chongqing have already gone into the nightlife.
Luo Qian and I took a car to an authentic Peking duck restaurant, there were quite a lot of people, but I could already smell the fragrance at the door.
After entering the store, Luo Qian told the staff the reservation information, and the work task led us to a window position.
After waiting for a while, the waiter came over with a small cart, and I smelled the aroma of roast duck from afar, which was so authentic.
Just smelling it, my saliva flowed out.
The waiter served two plates of roast duck, the duck meat was sliced, and the duck meat and duck bones were separated.
There are also green onions and pastries, as well as sweet noodle sauce and some auxiliary ingredients.
The duck meat grilled over charcoal is indeed fragrant, and the color is ruddy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which makes people salivate.
There are three ways to eat Peking duck, one is the wife and lady in the mansion, they do not eat green onions or garlic, and eat the duck meat dipped in sugar.
The second way to eat is to add green onions to sweet noodle sauce, serve with cucumber strips, and then put a few slices of duck meat on top of the lotus leaf cake and cover it, and roll up the lotus leaf cake, which is also the most popular way to eat.
The third way to eat it is to eat garlic with sweet noodle sauce, with radish strips, and still roll the duck meat with lotus leaf cakes, which was the most popular way to eat it in the early years.
I chose the second one, which can feel the fragrance of green onions and the sweetness of cucumbers, which is really a must.
After all the side dishes were served, I said to Luo Qian: "Then I'm welcome!" ”
"You're welcome, eat, it's not enough to order more."
The authentic Peking duck I was looking forward to was finally eaten, it was really delicious, fat but not greasy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and fragrant on the lips and teeth.
Luo Qian, on the other hand, didn't eat much and kept eating auxiliary dishes.
I asked her, "Why don't you eat it?" ”
"Eat again."
"How many slices have you just eaten? Come on, I'll roll one for you, you try ......"
As I spoke, I picked up the lotus leaf and rolled one for her and handed it to her.
"You can eat, I'll do it myself."
"What, you think my hands are dirty? I'm wearing disposable gloves and it's fine. ”
She smiled and said, "Why, I don't like to eat roast duck very much." ”
"Then I'll roll this for you, you can eat it."
She then took it and said "thank you" to me.
I hurriedly asked her again, "How is it?" The taste of my roll is okay, right? ”
"Well, it's good, have you eaten it before?"
"I've eaten it, but it's not authentic Peking duck."
"And what do you think of this one?"
"This is Quanjude, of course it's different, but it's a bit expensive, right?"
"Fortunately, this is the third time I've come to eat, and someone else invited me to eat before."
"If you have the opportunity to come to Chongqing, I invite you to eat authentic Chongqing hot pot."
Luo Qian smiled and said, "There is a chance." ”
As I ate, I asked her, "By the way, where are you from?" ”
"Shangrao, Jiangxi."
"Shangrao's fritters wrapped with hemp seeds are delicious."
Luo Qian said with some surprise: "Have you eaten?" ”
"I've eaten it, but I don't know if it's authentic."
After a short pause, I said, "There's also lantern kueh, which I like to eat." ”
"Really? I also like to eat lantern kueh, and every time I go back to my hometown, I will eat it as soon as possible. ”
"It's delicious, I like to put all kinds of side dishes in it, dried tofu, dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and so on." I said with a smile.
Luo Qian also smiled happily: "It seems that you know a lot about the food in these regions, you are a foodie, right?" ”
"It has to be, but I listened to my friends about these delicacies, and my friends took me to eat."
"So, you have a lot of friends, huh?"
"It's okay, for example, you are also my friend now, I will go to Shangrao in the future, if you happen to be there, don't forget to invite me to eat lantern kueh!"
"Let you eat enough."
We laughed together, and I loved the feeling of making friends, and I was happy for nothing else.
In this hectic and pleasant feeling, I don't think about so many gains and losses, and I quickly forget those unpleasant experiences.
I'm also more optimistic, because there is nothing more important in this world than happiness, and everything people do in life is just for their own pleasure.
However, no one thought of it.
At this moment, a voice that could not be more familiar came from next to me......
I turned my head and saw that it was Yu Huan standing in front of me!
