Chapter 80: The Dinner Ends
Li Yan beckoned, and after a while, the waiter came over and asked:
"Hello comrade, do you want to order food?"
"Well, serve two servings of roast duck first, four bottles of Arctic Ocean and ......"
The waiter quickly recorded it and said, "Okay, do you choose the duck embryo or not, if you don't choose, we have ready-made roast duck, which can be served directly." ”
Li Yan shook his head, "Don't choose, go straight to it." ”
At this time, because Huang Wen and Li Kuiyong had never come here to eat, they couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Can we go to the back kitchen and see how the roast duck is made? I'm curious how you guys bake it. ”
Hearing this, Li Yan and Wei Liujiang couldn't help but look at the waiter, although they had come to eat, but they really didn't know the specific production process, and Li Yan knew that Quanjude was popular in future generations.
"Of course, please come with me." The waiter said with a smile, and then led a few people to the back kitchen.
Before entering the back kitchen, the aroma of roast duck came to the face, the first glance of entering the back kitchen, why bother to see a row of neat duck embryos, this is Quanjude selected Sijiucheng white duck, slaughtered to remove the internal organs, in the cavity on the sorghum stalk blowing drum, air drying hanging.
The waiter walked over quickly at this time and whispered a few words to the roast duck master who was guarding the fireside, "Master, they want to have long eyes here, you show them your hand." ”
Li Yan took a look at the environment here, nodded, and said, "It's very good." ”
Huang Wen and Li Kuiyong had already swallowed saliva a few times under the stimulation of the aroma of roast duck at the moment, and subconsciously followed: "Mmmm, it's really good." ”
The old master smiled and said enthusiastically: "You, you must not have imagined, not only the duck, even our stove is also particular, you see, it is different from other places, we are hanging stove type, the temperature is high first and then low, so that the roasted duck meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is not greasy to eat at all!" ”
Li Yan turned around and took a look, and found that there were several ducks that had been prepared in advance hanging in the oven made of gray bricks, and the fire below was still burning.
Huang Wen said to Li Yan at this time:
"Captain, you see, the duck they roast is so good-looking, it looks like it makes people want to eat it."
"That's for sure, it's not me who blows, I'm a craft, I started learning it when I was a child, I didn't say it." The old master smiled and picked up a pole, picked down two roast ducks, and asked, "Slice here or go out?" ”
Li Yan nodded and said:
"Let's do it here, please let the master leak both hands, so that we can open our eyes, although I have come to this place to eat duck, but I really don't know how to make the film."
The old master didn't talk nonsense, picked up the knife, and said while slicing:
"Slicing duck is also a technical job, a duck, to slice out of the duck slices with belt meat, this method is also exquisite, one is to eat the duck skin while it is hot, crispy and fragrant, and then eat the duck meat, the second is to have a piece of belt meat, thin but not broken."
When the roast duck was sliced and arranged, the master didn't say anything special, but he still placed it neatly according to different parts.
The master is worthy of being a master, he doesn't look at the duck much during the whole process, and the speed is very fast, not long after the words are finished, the duck has already been filmed, which makes Li Yan can't help but give a thumbs up and praise:
"Absolutely!"
The waiter quickly took out the sliced duck and put it on the table where Li Yan and the others were sitting just now.
Huang Wen and Li Kuiyong couldn't help it now, if Li Yan and Wei Liujiang weren't still watching a duck here, the two of them would have sat down on the table and started eating.
"I didn't see it clearly, this one of me slows down, so you can take a good look." The master put aside the duck rack that had just been removed, and continued:
"By the way, our other trick here is that the firewood for the stove is not ordinary wood, it has to be the branches of the jujube tree, peach tree, apricot tree, pear tree, of course, it is better to be a jujube tree, even if it is not burned, it also has a faint aroma.
After the duck was finished, the master put down the knife and nodded, "Cheng, you can serve the table, I'm done with the film, I want to watch it next time, just come again." ”
Li Yan picked up the duck meat that had been arranged,
"It's really an eye-opener today, master, please help me bake three more, and we'll pack them and take them away after we finish eating."
The master originally planned to refuse, but seeing that Li Yan and Wei Liujiang were carrying guns in their waists, after thinking about it, they still didn't refuse, nodded and agreed,
"Cheng, if it's cold when you go back, you can steam it in the pot and pour some hot oil, and the taste is not bad."
Back on the table, Li Yan said to Huang Wen and Li Kuiyong, who had long been impatient:
"Let's eat, it'll be cold later."
"Then we're welcome."
Li Kuiyong and Huang Wen replied at the same time, then picked up chopsticks and brushed a layer of sauce on the lotus leaf cake, and then wrapped some shredded duck meat with green onions, and ate it in one bite without caring about the image, and said while eating:
"It's so fragrant, no wonder so many foreign guests come to eat this roast duck from Quanjude."
Li Yan first picked up a piece of baked crispy duck skin and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise:
"It's really good, no wonder it's still a famous store in later generations."
"What?" Hearing Li Yan muttering to himself, Wei Liujiang couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing! Much better than the roast duck restaurant I had last time. Li Yan replied to Wei Liujiang's words with a smile.
"Oh, okay"
Wei Liujiang said, and like Li Yan, he picked up a piece of roast duck slice and put it in his mouth, chewed it and ate it slowly.
Li Yan and Wei Liujiang's eating appearance is much better than that of Huang Wen and Li Kuiyong, but the speed of eating is not slow, this is an authentic Quanjude, a real master baked.
The rest of the dishes came up one after another, a bite of the Arctic Ocean, a bite of roast duck, cool.
"It's delicious, but I just looked at the price, it's too expensive, and fortunately the captain brought me here this time, otherwise I don't know when I will come."
Huang Wen looked lost, originally he thought that it tasted so good, and he would bring his family to try it next time, but when he saw the price when he went to the kitchen just now, he could only reluctantly give up the idea in his heart.
Li Yan put down his chopsticks and took a sip of the Arctic Ocean,
"It doesn't matter if you have money or not, it's just delicious."
After a full meal, a few people chatted in Quanjude for a while, and after this meal, several people and Wei Liujiang have pulled a lot of distance, and they are not as strange as they were at the beginning.
When the time was almost up, Li Yan called the waiter to settle the bill, and by the way, he also asked the waiter to bring the packaged duck.
There are four roast duck tickets, a total of five roast ducks ordered, as well as drinks and other dishes, Li Yan spent almost twenty yuan, mainly because the roast duck is expensive, one will cost ten yuan.
Out of Quanjude, Li Yan smiled faintly:
"That's all for today, next time we have a chance to get together, let's go back to our respective homes."
Saying that, Li Yan handed the two roast ducks to Wei Liujiang and Huang Wen respectively, and then planned to greet Li Kuiyong to meet the courtyard.
As for why Wei Liujiang, a female comrade, didn't send her back, she thought too much, and she wasn't familiar with it at all, besides, it wouldn't be dangerous if it was still broad daylight, not to mention that she still had a gun on her.
That's right, this girl started as a cadre as soon as she joined the company, which made Li Yan envious, you must know that because of the traffickers, it is still uncertain whether she can become a cadre because of her exhaustion.
"Captain, isn't this?"
Huang Wen said that it was true that he wanted to take the roast duck back and give it to his family to taste, but he thought that he had already eaten it here today, and it would be too appropriate to take it again.
Hearing Huang Wen's words, Li Yan said without refusal:
"What's the matter, you're full of food, so you don't have to eat at home? Let you take it, where is so much nonsense. ”
After speaking, he gave the roast duck to the two of them and took Li Kuiyong to the house.
Seeing Li Yan and Li Kuiyong leaving, Huang Wen was still holding a roast duck and stood in place in a daze, at this time Wei Liujiang couldn't look at it, and said to him:
"Okay, let's go back, the days to come will be long, isn't it just a roast duck!"
After saying that, she held the things she received today, and left with a roast duck in her hand, a roast duck in her heart is really nothing, she thought in her heart that next time she called a few people to come out and eat again, she would pay for it.
In fact, she likes to eat and play, and she doesn't go to all kinds of wine and dinners, of course, she pays a lot, basically she pays for the bureaus she sets, so packing a roast duck, she doesn't think there's anything, she thinks to wait for the next time she treats back, anyway, she hasn't been invited, of course, it's her and the others.
And Huang Wen, who was still in the same place, saw that several people were gone, remembering Li Yan's generosity to them in the factory, coupled with today's events, he was also impressed by Li Yan in his heart, and secretly said that he would listen to Li Yan in everything in the future, and he would mix up the ball.
After making up his mind, he didn't have any burden in his heart, so he went straight home, and now he could think of waiting for him to come home, his family would be surprised first, and then they would have dinner together.
After the two left, the back kitchen was undergoing a succession.
The old master took out a roast duck from the hanging stove and called the waiter just now:
"Apprentice, come here, you've been watching my duck film for so long, it's time to show me the film."
The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said reluctantly:
"Master, I'm still not a piece, what if it's not good and the guests dislike it?"
The old master handed the knife to the young man:
"This was given to me by the guest just now, let you slice it, you will slice, even if it is scum, I will eat it."
The waiter smiled excitedly:
"Don't worry, Master, I won't let you eat scum."
After the duck slice, the master smiled with satisfaction:
"Yes, I can't eat this half, you take it away, it's generally good, you can take it out, remember, next time the knife in this position is a little more ruthless...."
At the end, the old master said, "There are still nine ducks in the afternoon, you can show a few more pieces." ”
"Thank you, Master." The young man smiled even brighter.
