Chapter 177 Let's Eat Roast Duck

With Lin Mo's help, the Queen Mother successfully coaxed her troublesome little girl to Quanjudeli, the most famous old restaurant in Beijing.

When Lin Mo followed the Queen Mother in, he was instantly attracted by the quaint decoration here. Although Lin Mo had been to Quanjude of her time more than once in later lives, perhaps because this was a novel world, the decoration here was different from the Quanjude headquarters she had visited in later lives.

This kind of pure classical charm is something Lin Mo cannot experience in any modern Chinese retro restaurant.

Lin Mo, who was sitting next to the carved wooden window in the hall, took the menu from the receptionist who was wearing a cheongsam. Lin Mo saw that the words on the menu were all written with a brush. He looked up with some surprise and glanced at the menu in Wang Tiantian's hand next to him.

As expected, the menus were all handwritten. "As expected, century-old restaurants are different!" Lin Mo sighed silently in his heart.

He lowered his head and continued to look at the menu in his hand.

Uh~

A roast duck costs 8 to 10 yuan, and duck bone soup costs 0.6 yuan per large bowl.

Half a roast duck costs 4 to 5 yuan, and duck bone soup costs 0.4 yuan per small bowl.

Fried diced duck costs NT$1.9 per portion.

Fried shrimp chips are 4.4 yuan per portion.

Braised sea cucumber is 5.2 yuan per serving.

Mushu pork is NT$0.95 per serving.

Fried pork costs 1.6 yuan per portion.

Spicy pork cubes 0.95 yuan per portion

...

As expected, the prices at this famous restaurant are exceptionally attractive!

"Momo, what do you want to eat?" Just as Lin Mo was staring at the menu in a daze, he heard the Queen Mother ask him.

Lin Mo quickly replied: "I can eat anything, Auntie, you order first!"

"What about you, Tiantian?" Seeing Lin Mo like this, Queen Mother understood what Lin Mo was thinking, so she turned to ask her daughter.

"Mom, I've never eaten these and I don't know what to eat. You should order it!"

Wang Tiantian was a little confused when she looked at the menu in her hand. Although she was a foodie, she didn't dare to order anything she had never eaten before! What if it didn't taste good? Wouldn't it be a waste to eat such an expensive item?

"Okay then! Since you don't know what to eat, just eat whatever I order!" The Queen Mother said to the two of them jokingly.

She began to place her order seriously with the waiter who had just come over. Lin Mo listened carefully for a while and found that almost every dish ordered by Queen Mother was a specialty of this place.

After a while, the Queen Mother ordered according to the amounts for three people, including a roast duck, a dozen lotus leaf pancakes, three small bowls of duck bone soup, dragon and phoenix legs, five-flavor crispy Spanish mackerel, and dry-fried four fresh delicacies. In total, she ordered four dishes, one soup, and one staple food.

Auntie, isn't it too extravagant for the three of us to have four dishes?" Lin Mo looked at the prices of the dishes ordered by Wang Mu on the menu. The total cost of these dishes was almost twenty yuan.

Twenty yuan is almost a worker's internship salary for people in this era. Although this money is not much for Lin Mo, Lin Mo feels that this money is still a bit too much for the Wang family who are treating him.

"It's okay! We're just here for this meal. I haven't been here for a long time..." The Queen Mother paused unconsciously when she said this, and then hurriedly changed the subject, "Momo, don't worry about it. Auntie has money! You guys can't make me poor with this meal."

"It's been a long time since I came here?" Lin Mo muttered silently in his heart, and then thought of the Queen Mother's skillful posture of ordering food just now, and then thought about the fact that the three of them came here without asking anyone for directions.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to my mind. Could it be that Aunt Wang is actually from Beijing? Then how could she appear in a small county town in Heilongjiang Province? And give birth to a daughter as old as Wang Tiantian?

While Lin Mo was daydreaming, the roast duck side dishes and lotus leaf pancakes they ordered were served. The roast duck of this era was not like that of later generations, where the whole duck was served on the table and the chef would come over to slice it for the customers.

Instead, the duck is sliced ​​in the kitchen and served together with the side dishes and pancakes. Of course, the duck bone soup is not freshly cooked, but prepared in advance and served directly to the table when someone orders it.

"Wow! It looks delicious! Why are there so many side dishes and seasonings?"

Wang Tiantian sighed as she watched the roast duck being served by the waiter, but she was a little confused when she saw the various ingredients that were served together.

Seeing this, Lin Mo wanted to introduce to Wang Tiantian how to eat Quanjude Roast Duck, but before Lin Mo could say anything, he heard Wang Tiantian's mother's gentle explanation.

There are actually four ways to eat this Quanjude roast duck. What's the first one?

Just use chopsticks to pick up some sweet noodle sauce, spread it on the lotus leaf pancake, then put the sliced ​​roast duck, scallion and cucumber strips in it, roll it up and eat it. "

As the Queen Mother spoke, she began to demonstrate to Lin Mo and the others. By the time she finished speaking, she had already rolled up a beautiful lotus leaf duck roll in her hands.

Seeing this, Wang Tiantian also quickly tried to roll it up. Lin Mo saw that Wang Tiantian had already started, so in order to avoid suspicion from others, he also pretended to be eating it for the first time and rolled up a lotus leaf duck roll.

"Delicious~" After rolling up the duck meat in lotus leaf, Lin Mo took a bite without any hesitation. His eyes narrowed because of the delicious taste.

Seeing that the two had finished eating the lotus leaf duck rolls she had made, the Queen Mother began to introduce the second method: "The second method is to peel the garlic and mash it into garlic paste. Pour the garlic paste into a small bowl and add a little soy sauce. Then wash the green radish, peel it and cut it into eggplant strips, and then use the sliced ​​duck meat. Dip it in the garlic paste and soy sauce, and eat it like this, with one bite of duck meat and one bite of radish strips."

After saying this, the Queen Mother took one of the three small bowls of mashed garlic that the waiter had just brought to them, added a little soy sauce to it, then picked up a piece of duck meat, dipped it in the soy sauce and garlic paste she had prepared, and put it into her mouth. Then she took the green radish from the side dish, dipped it in the soy sauce and garlic paste she had prepared, and put it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Wang Tiantian and Lin Mo each took a small bowl of mashed garlic and mixed it with soy sauce, then imitated Wang Mu and started eating, taking a bite of duck meat and a bite of green radish.

Lin Mo carefully tasted this way of eating and found it to be more delicious than the first way, because it added a fresh and spicy taste to the crispy roast duck. It not only relieved the greasiness but also added a bit of sweetness. The combination of green radish made the roast duck taste even more crispy.

Seeing that the two were enjoying the meal, the Queen Mother quickly taught them a third way to cook roast duck. This method was simpler, which was to eat the crispy duck skin dipped in sugar.

Lin Mo had tried this method before, so when she took a bite, she felt the sweetness and crispness in her mouth, and the fragrance lingered in her mouth. It can really be said to be a different taste!

The last method is duck bone soup. After eating the crispy and greasy roast duck, having a bowl of light and sweet duck bone soup to relieve the greasiness is simply something even a god would not trade for!
