Chapter 129: Beijing Roast Duck

The most famous dish in Beijing is undoubtedly roast duck.

Basically, if anyone comes to Beijing and doesn’t try Beijing roast duck once, it seems like their trip to Beijing was in vain.

The most famous place to eat roast duck in Shangjing is naturally Jubao Duck.

However, in fact, Jubao Duck only has good advertising. The chefs of Jubao Duck have been replaced by countless people.

Roast duck is no longer the same as it used to be.

The taste will naturally not be the same.

Real old Beijingers know that if they want to eat really delicious roast duck, they have to go to some century-old restaurants in the alleys.

For example, the century-old shops in the alleys are basically inherited from father to son.

The cooking skills of roast duck have been passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, only these roast duck restaurants can taste the truly delicious roast duck of the past.

The place where Gao Moqi brought Mo Qingyan was the alley on the second ring road of Shangjing.

Although cars can enter the alley, there are many pedestrians, so cars can only be parked outside. Gao Moqi walked in with Mo Qingyan, the cameraman and others.

Just now, when Mo Qingyan just walked into the alley, she heard some noisy sounds coming from a distance.

After turning a corner, I saw two rows of people sitting in the alley ahead.

At a glance, there were at least seventy or eighty people.

The width of this alley is only four meters, and the people in line take up more than two meters.

"Is it the store in front with a long queue?" Mo Qingyan asked Gao Moqi.

"Yes." Gao Moqi responded.

"We seem to be a little late. There are so many people here!"

Mo Qingyan looked at the people queuing. By the time it was their turn, the roast duck would probably be sold out.

"No need to queue, just follow me."

Gao Moqi took Mo Qingyan and walked straight forward.

Those people in the queue were holding their mobile phones, some were watching videos, some were watching live broadcasts.

Suddenly, when Mo Qingyan and others passed by, many people didn't even raise their heads.

Of course, some people looked up reflexively, and when they saw Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi, they were stunned.

So handsome!

That is the first feeling of people who see it.

The second feeling is that these two handsome guys look very familiar.

I have to say that Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi are both pretty good looking. The key point is that they are about 1.8 meters tall and have good body proportions.

Among ordinary people, he stands out like a crane among chickens.

Of course, besides being handsome, those people also felt that the two men looked somewhat familiar.

I knew that the two of them had walked past me.

Then, they saw the cameraman and security personnel following behind Mo Qingyan.

Suddenly, they remembered.

"Brother Mo, the one who just walked over was Brother Mo."

"Yes, that's right. It's Brother Mo. And Judge Gao. I was wondering why the road in Brother Mo's live studio looked so familiar. Oh my god, it turns out that Brother Mo came to our side. He even passed by us."

"What's that look on my face? I was looking at Brother Mo's live broadcast room, but I didn't realize it. This is where Brother Mo came to."

…

Food is the most important thing in China, and the group of foodies is even more powerful.

Young people, in particular, are more willing to try new things.

Therefore, most of Mo Qingyan’s fans are actually young people.

Of course, there are also some middle-aged people.

However, Mo Qingyan is more well-known among young people.

Gao Moqi took Mo Qingyan around and came to the back door of the store.

As a result, I found that the back door of the store was closed.

Gao Moqi said to Mo Qingyan: "Wait a moment."

Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Soon after, within a minute, the door opened.

Then a young girl wearing a black chef's uniform, a black chef's hat, and exuding the aroma of roast duck, opened the door.

Seeing Gao Moqi and Mo Qingyan standing outside the door, the girl waved quickly: "Come in quickly. Don't let others find you."

After Mo Qingyan and others walked in, the girl immediately closed the door. The quick and agile movements were as if Mo Qingyan and the others were followed by a group of terrifying monsters.

The girl heaved a sigh of relief after the door closed, then she looked at Gao Moqi and said, "Judge Gao, can you tell me earlier next time you come? You always come when I'm the busiest. I'm so busy, and I still have to come to open a back door for you. I don't care, you must give me a spot to participate in the state banquet chef competition next year. Otherwise, I will tell your fans that every time you, Judge Gao, come to our Qiweixuan, you use the back door."

The girl's words actually had a joking tone.

Anyone would think that she was joking when she said those threatening words to Gao Moqi.

However, Gao Moqi said seriously: "Your cooking skills are not good enough to participate in the state banquet chef competition."

What he meant was that he was not going to give that recommendation spot.

The girl said coldly, crossing her arms over her chest, "Then don't eat my roast duck either."

Gao Moqi said calmly: "What I ordered today is the roast duck made by your grandfather."

This means that the girl is being too sentimental.

"You..." Qi Qi was so angry, "Judge Gao, you will have no friends if you do this, you know that?"

Gao Moqi introduced Mo Qingyan to Qi Qi, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Mo Qingyan."

Qi Qi was instantly speechless, his cheeks puffed up like puffer fish with anger.

"Pfft..." Mo Qingyan couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Gao Moqi and Qi Qi both looking at him, Mo Qingyan suppressed his smile and said, "You guys continue. You can pretend I don't exist."

Qi Qi pursed her lips and said, "Brother Mo, if you want to laugh, then laugh. Don't hold it back. Otherwise, your more than 10 million fans will have to come to me for revenge."

"Do you know me?" Mo Qingyan asked.

"Brother Mo, you are kidding. You have been so popular recently. How could I not know you? If Judge Gao hadn't said that he brought you here to eat Peking duck, I would not give him a back door. Let him line up." Qi Qi snorted at Gao Moqi arrogantly.

"So, was this possible through the back door, or was it because of my influence that Judge Gao got the upper hand?" Mo Qingyan glanced at Gao Moqi with a smile.

"Of course I do! Come to think of it, I'm still your fan, Brother Mo! I've even joined your Liangpi noodles group." Qi Qi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have not introduced herself to Mo Qingyan yet.

He immediately extended his hand to Mo Qingyan and introduced himself: "By the way, Brother Mo, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qi Qi, Qi as in neat and tidy, Qi as in Wang Qi. I am the future head of the roast duck restaurant Qi Wei Xuan."

Mo Qingyan smiled and shook her hand, "Hello, the future head of Qiweixuan Roast Duck."

Qi Qi glanced at the cameraman behind Mo Qingyan and said, "Brother Mo, are you still broadcasting live?"

Mo Qingyan nodded: "Yes, it's being broadcast live. So you can't hide the fact that you just opened a backdoor for me and Gao Moqi."

Qi Qi waved her hand, "It's okay, if you can't hide it, then don't hide it. It's my honor to be able to open a backdoor for Brother Mo. I don't know how many fans envy me! By the way, Brother Mo, I personally made roast duck for you. Wait a minute, you have to taste my roast duck."

Mo Qingyan responded without hesitation: "Okay!"

Then, Qi Qi led Mo Qingyan and others, turning left and right, passing the kitchen and going up to the private room on the second floor.

After Qi Qi left, Mo Qingyan asked Gao Moqi, "Judge Gao, are you familiar with the owner of this store?"

Judging from the conversation between Gao Moqi and Qi Qi just now, we can tell that Gao Moqi must come here often to eat roast duck.

And, you must be familiar with the boss here.

Gao Moqi said, "Hmm," "Qi Qi's grandfather is a first-class state banquet chef. I was a judge for him, so I know him."

"It has to be you, the high judge." Mo Qingyan couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said, "The roast duck made by a first-class state banquet chef, I have to taste it today. When I smelled the aroma of roast duck on Qi Qi just now, I knew that this roast duck must be extraordinary."

Just by smelling the aroma of roast duck on Qi Qi, Mo Qingyan already knew that this shop used ancient craftsmanship to make roast duck.

Instead of using that modern oven.

Because Mo Qingyan could also smell a faint scent of firewood on Qi Qi.

In less than five minutes, the door of the private room was pushed open.

A waiter came in pushing a cart, followed by a white-haired old man also wearing a black chef's uniform.

As soon as the old man entered the private room, he laughed at Gao Moqi and said, "Judge Gao, I heard that you invited some friends over today. I used my culinary skills to prepare your roast duck!"

Gao Moqi stood up and nodded to the old man, "Then I have to try Mr. Qi's roast duck."

"Is this your friend?" Old Qi looked at Mo Qingyan with a smile.

"Yes." Gao Moqi introduced: "Mr. Qi, this is my friend, Mo Qingyan. Qingyan, this is the owner of Qi Weixuan, a first-class state banquet chef, Mr. Qi."

Old Qi waved his hand and said, "Just call me Qi Lao Si. It's rare for a senior judge to bring a friend here. I, Qi Lao Si, must take good care of him. Otherwise, this senior judge will ruin the reputation of our Qi Wei Xuan."

"Mr. Qi is joking." Mo Qingyan smiled.

After the waiter pushed the roast duck to the table, he also placed the side dishes and lotus leaf pancakes on the table.

Afterwards, Mr. Qi started slicing the duck himself.

There are actually many ways to eat Beijing's roast duck.

The most familiar way for everyone is to eat duck meat wrapped in lotus leaf pancake.

The requirement for duck meat slices in lotus leaf pancake is actually very high.

If the duck meat is sliced ​​too thin, it will not taste like duck meat.

If it is too thick, it will affect the taste.

Therefore, the sliced ​​duck meat must be of uniform thickness.

Mr. Qi’s knife skills are very powerful.

With a few quick moves, the whole duck was sliced ​​in no time.
