A group of people going out to eat was more lively. Most of the children still liked to eat delicious food, play, and enjoy the liveliness.
The two adults and two children were about to go out when He Yuheng asked,"Master, what do you want to eat for lunch?”
"Braised!"
He Yuheng said with a look of disdain,"I've already treated you, but you're only eating braised pork!"”
"Why don't we go eat roast duck?"
Su Meng and Han Chunming's eyes lit up as they suggested in unison. Beijing Roast Duck was a famous dish in Beijing, and locals loved it as well. The main thing was that meat was a rare thing these days, and everyone wanted to eat it.
It was a little difficult to buy roast duck at this time. The difficulty lay in the meal ticket, meat ticket, and money.
Ordinary people couldn't afford it.
"Alright, let's eat roast duck later!”
However, it was not a problem for He Yuheng.
Master Guan was also tempted. Before he left, he went back to his room and took out a box. He handed it to He Yuheng and said,""Keep that thing well. This is the only one in the world!”
He Yuheng nodded. This Enamel Peony Pouch-shaped Snuff Bottle, printed by Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, was not only the only one in the world today, but also the only one in the porcelain industry. Although it wasn't a national treasure that was banned from export, it was definitely the only rare item in the world.
When it came to where to eat roast duck, people usually thought of Quanjude. However, the old people in the city didn't eat there.
They arrived at the Cheap Lane, one of the favorite places to eat in the city. The stewed roast duck there was " defatted, de-oiled, de-fishy, and de-acidic ". It tasted really good.
However, in this era where money was the most important, the popularity of cheap shops was not as good as Quanjude. He had originally wanted to eat the fatty bite of the roast duck. What was the point of eating it when it had been defatted?
........................................................................
As for Da Dong, it would only open in 1985. The more famous Liqun Roast Duck would only be available in 1992.
However, this cheap store had existed since 1416 and was the oldest roast duck restaurant.
"Brother, aren't we going to Quanjude?”
"If you like oily food, bring it back from Quanjude Dabao later.”
He Yuheng didn't like greasy food. Quanjude's roast duck was too fat. He Yuheng still liked to eat cheap food.
Not long after he entered the cheap shop and sat down, a master came over to greet him.
"Would you like to choose a duck?"
"You can choose as you see fit. There are only four of us. The duck rack needs to be fried. Then, we'll serve salted duck jerky, spicy shredded ribs, wasabi duck feet, dry-roasted four treasures, and a duck soup. Oh right, we'll also serve the lady a serving of cucumber strips!”
"Alright!" Master memorized all of this.
"Su Meng, do you want a hollow pancake?" He Yuheng suddenly asked.
"No need, I'll roll it up and eat it!" Su Meng answered without thinking.
"Alright then!" He Yuheng also said readily.”
It turned out that there was a particular way to eat roast duck. Usually, the roast duck was eaten with lotus leaf pancakes. In order to take care of the womenfolk's lack of elegance, there was a hollow pancake specially for the womenfolk to eat roast duck. When eating, they only needed to stuff it into the pancake.
However, Su Meng was a carefree girl and didn't care about that.
The service of the cheap store was very good. Soon, the other things were ready and served on the table.
The salted duck liver was He Yuheng's favorite. He picked up a piece for Master Guan first. When Master Guan was about to eat it, He Yuheng started to eat the duck liver with his chopsticks.
He Yuheng felt that this duck liver was comparable to foie gras. It was exceptionally fat and delicious. After taking a bite, there was no fishy smell at all.
"So comfortable!"
He Yuheng nodded in satisfaction. The old man was also very satisfied. This duck had to be eaten at the cheap restaurant.
Soon, the other dishes were served, including the roast duck!
He Yuheng cut off the duck head and put it in front of Master Guan.
........................................................................
"We're not interested in this. Eat something!”
"Alright!"
Since ancient times, China has had the title of " the country of clothes and the country of etiquette." We Chinese people pay attention to " the more etiquette, the more people don't blame." It doesn't matter if you do it, and you might inadvertently " add flowers to the flowers." However, if you don't do it well, it might be counterproductive and " superfluous."
Since the old man had said that he would not do this set of formalities, the duck chef went straight to the main topic--the duck.
A hot knowledge of eating roast duck, a good duck can be cut into 108 pieces. However, considering the size of the duck and the knife skills of the chef, it was enough to slice more than 90 pieces of roast duck.
If all the meat added up to less than nine taels, the customer would probably curse.
Nowadays, the meat was not separated from the skin and flesh. The emphasis was on the skin and flesh. Later on, the skin and flesh were separated, but He Yuheng personally felt that it was not as delicious as the skin and meat.
The chef cut off the softest piece of meat and put it aside.
Master Guan picked up a piece and dipped it in white sugar. Seeing the old man doing that, Su Meng and Han Chunming also started to eat.
Actually, not all the meat of the roast duck had to be eaten with the lotus leaf cake. The crispy skin of the roast duck was eaten with white sugar.
There were two ways to cut Guan Yu meat, willow leaf shape and fish scale shape.
Willow leaf shape, as the name suggested, was to cut the meat into a long strip like a willow leaf. This fish scale shape is the common method of slicing meat.
However, because they were eating burritos now, for the sake of convenience, they sliced the duck meat into the shape of willow leaves.
This was also very particular.
The willow-leaf-shaped duck meat was eaten with the lotus leaf pancakes, while the fish-scale-shaped duck meat was eaten with the sesame hollow pancakes.
Otherwise, why would Beijingers say that their street food was poor and particular?
Liu Bi Ju's sweet noodle sauce was first applied on the lotus leaf cake with chopsticks instead of being rolled up and then eaten with sauce. Of course, one could also use duck meat to dip in sauce and then apply it on the lotus leaf cake.
After applying it, he put five slices of duck meat and then put in some green onions. The green onions used must be croissant onions from Shandong Province.
If it was summer, there would still be honeydew, but they didn't have it at the moment. The supplies were too scarce, and precious things like honeydew couldn't be found.
After it was rolled up, she stuffed it in one mouthful. If she wanted to appear elegant, she could also split it into several mouthfuls.
One bite and one roll. The taste was indescribable.
He Yuheng was not used to eating coriander, so he did not put it in. Some people would add coriander to the duck soup to get rid of the greasy taste. However, in fact, the snacks in the city usually did not have coriander in them because it would mix the flavors.
The smell of coriander was too strong and would affect the texture.
However, coriander was usually used as an ornament in a dish.
Every ingredient was very particular. Only by matching the taste with the taste could a good dish be made.
"Excuse me, Master, bring me another sesame seed cake!”
"Alright!"
He Yuheng was not full. It was too troublesome to eat like this.
Soon, a sesame seed cake was served. He Yuheng directly poked it open with his chopsticks. The people at the side helped to serve soy sauce and garlic. The duck meat, soy sauce, and garlic were placed in the sesame seed cake. This was also called a roll.
The sauce used to dip duck meat had been developed into modern times, and there was a new way to eat it. One way to eat it was to add mustard, yellow mustard, and lettuce. The duck meat was mixed with yellow mustard, and then rolled into the lettuce leaves to eat, just like eating barbecue.
The other way to eat it was to dip the duck meat in sauce and add some green onion shreds. A pancake was placed in his mouth. With a puff, the duck meat and green onion shreds were sent into his mouth. This bite was a roll. It was super convenient.
This way of eating was no different from a Taotie, as if it was afraid that others would snatch its food from it.
He Yuheng saw that the two children were eating happily, and he was also happy.
After eating and drinking to their fill, the two children could no longer walk. It was said that it was easier to work and rest after eating to their fill. According to scientific research, it was really easy to get sleepy after eating too much.
"Do you want to bring it here or to Quanjude?”
"Then, there's no need…"
"Cut the crap."
"Quanjude. My mom likes to eat there!”
"Alright! Then let's have dinner!"
He Yu patted Han Chunming's head and said.
In the afternoon, He Yuheng continued to read while Han Chunming played with Su Meng. When they came back, they even brought along Cheng Jianjun.
"Brother, we met Jianjun in the alley, so Jianjun followed us.”
"Hey!"
The little thing was really thick-skinned. Su Meng and Han Chunming must have told him about the lunch, so he came to freeload.
However, even though He Yuheng thought so, he still brought Cheng Jianjun along.
For someone like Xu Damao, he would not change unless he experienced some setbacks and was taught a lesson.
However, Cheng Jianjun was different. He was indeed bad, but he had some skills. In the end, this man became a master of imitation in the antique shop.
The things that he burned were enough to make Old Wan stare at them.
This could be considered a skill, but it was not used in the right way.
In He Yuheng's memory, Cheng Jianjun had followed him since he was young. He thought that he might as well turn Cheng Jianjun around. As a future person who had two lifetimes of memories and understood the fate of everyone in this world, He Yuheng would not be tricked by a little broken child.
This little thing was only eleven years old. Could it be that he wanted to eliminate him by the roots and kill him directly? Civilized people would not do such illegal things. Of course, they would educate him properly and make him their underling!
Cheng Jianjun was indeed a bad person. When the educated youths were socializing, someone had said that Cheng Jianjun was always playing tricks when he went to the countryside. When he got home, he continued to play tricks on Han Chunming. Even his father said that he didn't tell Han Chunming about the college entrance examination because he was afraid that he would compete with him.
However, He Yuheng did not care about Cheng Jianjun's bad behavior. He wanted Su Meng and He Chunming to get married at the best age. He wanted Qin Huiru to stay away from his elder brother and let his elder brother marry a wife. He also wanted Cheng Jianjun to be loyal to him.
Good people had their own ways of doing things, and bad people had their own ways of doing things.
"Old Master, what do you plan to eat for dinner?”
"Braised!" Master Guan didn't even think about it.
"Hey, why are you only thinking about braising? Master, you have so many children. Why don't I bring you some stewed rice tomorrow morning and we can eat something dry for dinner?”
"Shabu-shabu!"
"Alright, let's go eat hotpot. There's a restaurant next to Quanjude.”
"Let's go!"
Although the old man didn't speak much, he didn't miss out on anything that needed to be taught. He Yuheng was now learning history. This wasn't an overview in the textbook, but a very detailed description.
