Chapter 820 The knowledge of roast duck
"Next, we are going to do something big."
Liu Tianqi said with a serious face. When He Aiguo saw Liu Tianqi being so formal, he also became serious and waited for Liu Tianqi's instructions.
Liu Tianqi looked at He Aiguo and said in a low voice: "Brother He, let me tell you now, it's already twelve o'clock. Is it time to have lunch? Is it time to serve roast duck?"
After Liu Tianqi said this, a trace of helplessness appeared on He Aiguo's face and he said: "Hey, I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be eating."
"Hey, isn't eating a big deal? Food is the most important thing for people. Can you tell me if there is anything bigger than heaven in this world?"
After Liu Tianqi said this, He Aiguo raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay, I was wrong. Let's go. Today I will show you the roast duck with the longest history in Yanjing, the roast duck from Bianyifang."
"Okay, I've been waiting for a long time."
Liu Tianqi rubbed his hands excitedly after hearing this. Ouyang Jing knew that Liu Tianqi was a foodie, so he just looked at Liu Tianqi with a smile. In fact, Ouyang Jing had not eaten roast duck for a long time. Ouyang Jing had gone to D city since graduation, and later worked in Longhu
Shan, I haven’t been back to Yanjing for four or five years now, and I really miss the roast duck in my hometown.
The oldest roast duck in Yanjing is undoubtedly the roast duck from Biianfang, and the most famous is probably the Quanjude roast duck. In addition to these two roast duck brands, Dadong roast duck is also very good, crispy but not greasy, and is also a favorite among foodies.
choose.
Today, He Aiguo wants to treat Liu Tianqi and Liu Tianqi to eat the roast duck from Biianfang. Biianfang roast duck and Quanjude roast duck are the two major brands in the roast duck industry, and they have their own characteristics just like KFC and McDonald's.
Biianfang's roast duck is roasted in a stew oven. During cooking, the duck is eviscerated, then marinated with seasonings, and roasted over an open fire. The cooking method is somewhat similar to Western roast goose. It tastes crispy and delicious, fat but not greasy.
The method of roasting duck used in Quanjude Roast Duck is hanging oven roasting duck. When cooking, the duck is not disemboweled, but only some small holes are poked in the duck, the internal organs are taken out, water is poured into the duck's belly, and then the small holes are plugged, and then roasted.
The roasted duck skin is exceptionally thin and crispy, and the duck meat itself retains its moisture, making it extremely delicious.
Liu Tianqi and the others took He Aiguo's car and headed straight to Biian Fang. Dayi Branch is relatively close to Biian Fang, while Quanjude is far away, so they will eat at Biian Fang today.
He Aiguo drove the car to the place. He Aiguo seemed to be a regular customer. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by a waiter.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. He? I haven't seen you for a while. Where are you busy? We are still at the same place."
"Well, the private room upstairs at the old place."
As he spoke, He Aiguo took Liu Tianqi and two people upstairs. Once upstairs, the three of them sat down, and He Aiguo ordered some ducks and some drinks.
After ordering the food and drinks, Liu Tianqi wanted to sit down and rest for a while. At this moment, the waiter downstairs walked upstairs and looked at He Aiguo and said: "Master He, do you and these two distinguished guests want to choose duck embryos?"
"
After hearing this, He Aiguo waved his hand and said: "Don't choose, I don't think your boss can cheat me."
"Then it depends on what you are talking about, Mr. He. Our Bianyifang is also a century-old brand, so it can deceive people. Besides, you are a regular customer. If we deceive you, it will make us feel uncomfortable."
He Aiguo smiled after hearing this and said, "Okay, just pick the one you want."
"Okay, please do me a favor (this word should be pronounced nei)"
The waiter said something and ran off. At this time, Liu Tianqi looked at He Aiguo and said, "Brother He, what do you mean by picking duck embryos?"
"Oh, this is to choose the duck to be roasted. The store will give you a silver skewer. You use this skewer to poke the duck's belly to see if it is fat. Then you leave a mark on the duck and they will roast it for you.
, come up when the time comes, and the mark is there, it means that the store has not tampered with it, and the goods are genuine."
"That's it."
Liu Tianqi nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood. Just as Liu Tianqi was thinking, the waiter from outside opened the door and came in, followed by several plates.
The first thing that came out were two plates of cakes. The first one was lotus leaf cake. The cake was not big in the palm of your hand, very chewy, moderately thick, and very elastic.
When He Aiguo saw the cake coming, he stretched out his hand and took out a piece of lotus leaf cake, spread the cake in his palm, then made a fist and opened it, then opened the whole lotus leaf cake again, He Aiguo nodded and said: "Today's
The cake is good.”
The waiter glanced at He Aiguo and said, "Master He, you are an expert. How could I dare to lie to you?"
The waiter said and put down another basket, which contained hollow sesame pancakes, followed by onion strips, cucumber strips, and a large plate of lettuce.
After these were placed, another waiter came up. His plate was filled with condiments, including sweet bean paste, minced garlic, sugar, and mustard.
Liu Tianqi looked at the condiments on the table and said, "Is it so complicated to eat roast duck?"
He Aiguo laughed after hearing this and said: "You don't understand this. Eating roast duck is a technical job, and it requires a lot of attention. Come on, let me tell you about the combination of the seasoning and the cake."
When He Aiguo said this, he pointed at the lotus leaf pancake and said: "Roast duck should be rolled with pancakes and eaten. It cannot be torn and eaten like roast chicken. There are three ways to eat it."
"The first one is with lotus leaf cake. Spread the lotus leaf cake on your hands, use chopsticks to smear sweet bean paste on it, put onion strips, duck meat, and then roll it up. This is the first way to eat it, and it is also the most popular way in Yanjing.
The traditional way of eating.”
"The second method is to use hollow sesame sesame cakes, smear sweet sauce inside the cake, add duck meat, and if you like sweet taste, you can add some sugar. This way of eating is more elegant, and most girls like to eat it this way."
"The third type has only started in recent years, which is to use lettuce instead of lotus leaf pancakes, instead of sweet noodle sauce, add mustard and roll duck meat. This is more exciting and many people can't accept it."
"In addition, these seasonings vary from person to person. For example, this mashed garlic is used to relieve greasiness, and the rolled duck tastes delicious and spicy, which is very appetizing."
"Dip it in white sugar. We Chinese people learned this from Europeans and Americans. Foreigners prefer to eat it this way. Chinese people rarely eat it this way, but you can try it. It tastes pretty good."
"Mustard is used as a spicy appetizer, so you can eat more."
What He Aiguo said was so salivating that Liu Tianqi was also dumbfounded. It was the first time he knew that eating roast duck had to be so particular. This is all culture. If He Aiguo hadn't said this, as soon as the duck came up, he would start to look like
If you tear the roasted chicken apart and eat it at a glance, you will probably be embarrassed today.
Thinking of this, Liu Tianqi bowed his hands to He Aiguo and said, "I've learned a lesson."
