Chapter 428 Quanjude, Shichahai
He Yushui arrived at the entrance of Quanjude, stopped the car, and walked in confidently.
Money is the courage of a hero. Today, He Yushui is also a man with money in his pocket.
"Would you two like to have a meal? Please come in..." A waiter came up to them immediately.
Wang Hongtao looked up and saw that the restaurant was not packed, but the occupancy rate was still about 60% to 70%. It seemed that although the year was not good, there were still many people who could afford to eat at Quanjude.
Wang Hongtao looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Please arrange a quiet seat for us. First, a roast duck, two bottles of Arctic Ocean, and two signature dishes."
"There's no need to serve staple food."
"Rainwater, is there anything else you want to eat?"
He Yushui shook his head: "No, I just want to taste the flavor of roast duck. Quanjude's roast duck is the most famous."
For two people, a roast duck, accompanied by pancakes and other side dishes is definitely enough.
As a result, the chef beside him heard this and was immediately delighted: "Miss, you have a good eye. Recently, people say that the roast duck at Bianyifang is better than our Quanjude."
"Roast duck, the key is naturally roasting. Our Quanjude roast duck is roasted in an open fire in a hanging oven. The duck skin is crispy and the meat is tender. How can it be compared with the stewed duck in Bianyifang?"
"Only people with bad teeth who like soft food will eat Bian Yi Fang."
"Girl, because of what you said, I, Gu Quansan, will personally prepare the roast duck for your table today!"
"Thank you, Master Gu!" He Yushui playfully bowed to Master Gu. Although she didn't know any Gu Quansan, she could tell from the looks of the customers around her that he was no ordinary person.
"This little girl is quite cute. Do you want to go to the kitchen and see how our Quanjude roast duck is made?" Gu Quansan suggested with a smile.
"Is it okay?" He Yushui asked excitedly.
"Others certainly can't do it, but I'm the master chef. I have the final say on whether it works or not!" Gu Quansan laughed heartily, "Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen to have a look."
He Yushui followed Gu Quansan to the kitchen, and the first thing he saw was a row of neatly hung duck embryos. These were carefully selected white stuffed ducks. After being slaughtered and cleaned, sorghum stalks were placed on the ducks' bodies and hung to dry.
Gu Quansan skillfully picked up a duck, smeared it with sauce, and then put it into the oven.
"Hmm, it smells so good!" He Yushui couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, this is just the beginning." Gu Quansan said proudly.
"Normally, roast ducks should be picked and roasted right away, but I think you two have a better eye for it, so I'm going to give you the one I was roasting earlier, so you don't have to wait too long. What do you think?"
"Great, great! I can't wait!" He Yushui clapped his hands excitedly.
Thanks to this, the roast duck for the two of them soon became better.
After taking out the roast duck, Gu Quansan did not hesitate and began to slice the roast duck and put it on a plate in front of the two people, while introducing:
"It's not easy to roast duck. Slicing the duck is also a technical job. An authentic Quanjude roast duck can only be sliced into 108 pieces, including the skin and meat."
"And each piece must have skin and meat, thin but not broken."
After all, Chef Gu is the master chef of Quanjude. Even if he is talking while working, it does not delay his efficiency in slicing the duck. The duck is already sliced as soon as he finishes speaking.
Looking at the presentation of the duck meat, Wang Hongtao feels that it is no longer just a technique, it is simply an art!
"Sixth Little, go get some side dishes and sauces, and get two taels of lotus leaf cakes and serve them to the guests."
After instructing his apprentice, Master Gu put the duck rack he had just removed aside and asked, "You two, what do you plan to do with this duck rack? If you want to make a winter melon soup, it's free. If you want a bowl of vermicelli soup, you have to add another 20 cents."
Wang Hongtao: "Then let's have a bowl of winter melon soup and a bowl of vermicelli soup."
Master Gu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, please enjoy your meal, I won't bother you any more."
"Sixth Little, put the account down."
Wang Hongtao also bowed slightly to Master Gu: "Thank you, Master Gu."
Gu Quansan waved his hands: "Why thank me? It's just a matter of convenience. If you want to thank someone, thank your female companion. I only did it for her sake."
After saying this, he left without waiting for the two to answer.
Return to your seat.
"I don't care. I really can't help it. Let me try it first."
As He Yushui spoke, he picked up a piece of duck meat and dipped it in the sauce, then picked up a few scallion and cucumber shreds and wrapped them in a lotus leaf pancake, then took a bite and said, "It's really delicious, Brother Tao, you should try it too."
Wang Hongtao first brushed the sauce on the lotus leaf pancake, then put duck meat, scallion shreds, and cucumber shreds in it, and then wrapped the pancake: "It will taste better if you eat it like me. The sauce will be more flavorful when spread evenly."
"Ah."
After eating for a while, He Yushui suddenly suggested: "Why don't we bring half a piece back for Jingru? She will definitely like this, too."
Wang Hongtao thought for a moment and said, "Then bring the whole one so that Abin can try it too."
……
After eating and drinking, Wang Hongtao walked over to Chef Gu's apprentice Liu Xiao and said, "Master Liu, please help me order another roast duck. I'll pick it up around 5:30 pm. I'll take it away."
As the head chef of Quanjude's main restaurant, Gu Quansan is at least first-class if not top-notch. As his apprentice, Liu Xiao is naturally not much worse than him.
It's okay for Gu Quansan to call him Liu Xiao, but outside of Quanjude, Sha Zhu's father has to call him Master Liu whenever he sees him.
"Okay, I'll write you a receipt right away. Come over and pay the money first, and then you can come and pick up the goods with the receipt."
"Hey!"
After leaving Quanjude, Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "It's still early, how about taking you to Shichahai Park for a spin?"
"Okay!" He Yushui responded excitedly, and then added: "But I wanted to buy you something."
Wang Hongtao: "What's the big deal? I can buy it anytime I think of it. It doesn't have to be today. I just went to the park to walk around after eating to help digest the food."
"Yeah! I listen to you!"
So Wang Hongtao took He Yushui to Shichahai Park for a visit.
Because it was a weekday, there were not many tourists in Shichahai, and it was quite fun for the two of them to ride bicycles side by side.
He had to go to work in the afternoon, so He Yushui spent some time with Wang Hongtao by the lake before going back.
Wang Hongtao found a shady place to take a nap and didn't go back until around three o'clock.
After slacking off and getting off work, I rode my bike to Quanjude to pick up some roast duck, then slowly rode back to the courtyard.
