Chapter 234 Delicious Drunken Goose
The next evening, An Songyu's family went about their own business.
We didn't go to Liangdi until around dinner time.
Early this morning, Yuan Qionghua went to inform the tenants.
And from most of the tenants, we determined the time they would be able to return tonight.
Nowadays, mobile phones are not very common, and some tenants don't even bring a pager.
It's not really that convenient to get in touch with them.
However, most tenants also have acquaintances.
I had an acquaintance pass on the message when I gave the notification in the morning, so I figured things were all arranged properly.
However, since the factory usually closes late, the people who rushed over as soon as they finished work weren't just there for this one thing.
"The drunken goose at this restaurant is delicious! I've been wanting to invite everyone to come and eat here for a long time," Geng Yulan introduced the food to everyone.
The location of this Drunken Goose restaurant is rather unusual.
It is located at the very back of the market.
When you enter, you not only have to pass through or go around the market, but you also can't go directly there after you enter.
Even if we don't talk about people from other places, nine out of ten people who don't live in this area would still be unable to find it.
Apart from An Songyu's family, the rest of the group had been here before and were quite familiar with the place.
As for An Songyu... Shuncheng, which later became known as a food capital.
This is a local delicacy that's on the list of must-try restaurants, so naturally I didn't miss it.
Upon closer inspection, it seems to have shrunk considerably compared to twenty years later.
The food stalls, which had already expanded to a large plaza-like area, are now still limited in size.
In the remaining areas, most of the land is used for growing vegetables in vegetable gardens.
Yes, the vegetables here are homegrown.
An Songyu recalled that she was once lucky enough to find fresh worms in a side dish.
The thick, fat, green, and wriggling insect, about the size of a thumb, terrified her.
But his friends at the table remained remarkably calm.
They say it's the best, most natural, and purest protein.
An Songyu was completely stunned at the time, not knowing whether they were joking or serious.
However, he was wary of the side dishes that Geng Yulan had ordered.
The waiter seemed to have become familiar with the group.
He led the group to their seats while greeting them.
They didn't even need to order; they just asked directly:
"There are quite a few of you here today. How about a whole goose? That probably won't be enough. Would you like some goose intestines? And goose gizzards, wings, and the like?"
“Of course I want them all!” Geng Yulan answered decisively.
After saying that, he turned to look at his family and said, "Compared to their geese, I think these things taste better."
“Even if they order half a goose, our family of four usually can’t finish it, let alone add these things!”
As she spoke, she turned to the waiter and smiled:
"I've asked this more than once: Can we eat these instead of goose?"
"If we only made these dishes without eating goose, the taste would definitely be different, and it wouldn't be this delicious!" the waiter replied with a hint of helplessness.
Clearly, this question has been asked by more than one person.
Geng Yulan smiled and sighed, "That's true. Without the simmering of goose and wine, it's hard to get that flavor."
The waitress immediately gave Geng Yulan a thumbs up.
This is someone who truly understands the taste of their home cooking.
Only then did I realize what the true source of deliciousness is.
"Want more wine? No wonder the name on the signboard has the word 'drunk' in it," An Jianping said with a sigh.
He knew quite a few dishes that required alcohol to make.
But this was the first time he had ever eaten at a restaurant that was famous for a single dish and only served that one dish.
Soon, the dishes they ordered started to be served.
First, the waiter turned the iron pot that was upside down on the table over and placed it back on its original position.
Then bring over the goose meat, goose gizzards, and wings that have been braised to about half-cooked.
Along with it came ginger, scallions, garlic, sauces, and a full bottle of local Shuncheng red rice wine.
Add whole cloves of garlic (no need to chop), large pieces of ginger, and sections of scallion whites to the oil and sauté until fragrant.
Then add the pan-fried goose meat, goose gizzards, and wings and stir-fry.
After stir-frying evenly, add the secret sauce and red rice wine.
Cover the pot again and simmer for a while.
Then the waiter took a lighter and used it to burn the gap in the pot lid.
The liquor in the pot was instantly ignited.
At that moment, the other members of the An family who had never seen such a scene were stunned.
This is completely different from what they originally knew about dishes seasoned with alcohol!
The lid on the pot cannot contain its overflowing flames.
Flames were seen rising from the entire rim of the pot.
Although the flames weren't very intense, the obvious heat still made everyone subconsciously move their chairs back.
"Don't worry, it won't burn over. Its flames are only this big at most," Geng Yulan quickly reassured everyone.
Just as she said, it was a bit hot sitting at the table.
But the flame remained small.
Aside from the initial surprise of those who had never seen it before,
The flames that followed never grew any larger.
As time passed, the flames slowly burned out.
The rich aroma only intensified, making everyone's stomachs rumble with anticipation.
After a while, the waiter, keeping track of the time, brought over the goose intestines and side dishes.
I even helped flip the pot over.
An Songyu saw that the chopped garlic sprouts next to her hadn't been cooked yet, and knew that it wouldn't be long before she could eat them.
But I don't know anything about the other people in Anjia who haven't been there.
Smelling the increasingly strong fragrance, An Songxiang couldn't help but move closer to her sister and ask:
"Sis, how much longer until we can eat this?"
An Songyu raised her chin, gesturing for her to look into the distance.
There, I saw the waiter pour in the chopped garlic sprouts, stir-fry them again, and then put the lid back on.
Now An Songxiang knew that there was no chance for a while.
So she simply dragged her sister to visit the surrounding area.
Although this food stall is located inside the market, it occupies a fairly large area.
Apart from the dining area, which is simply a paved area with a canopy.
There is also a fairly large pond nearby.
Along the edge of the pond, many kinds of fruit trees and other plants are planted.
What An Songyu saw included bananas and papayas.
It perfectly separates the fishpond from the food stalls.
On the other side, opposite the direction you came from, there was open land where some fruit trees and vegetables were planted.
There's an alleyway to the side.
A waist-high wall has been built around the edge of the food stalls here.
Flower beds were also built along the wall, and some flowers and trees were planted in them.
When An Songyu and the others returned after their rounds, the garlic sprouts on the table were gone.
Although the pot was still covered, it was clear that the time when it would be ready to eat was not far off.
Enveloped in the rich fragrance, Anson was unwilling to move.
An Songyu could only accompany him.
