Chapter 75 Meow Meow Meow
Opposite to Zhuyuan Private Kitchen, in the corner.
Ye Qingquan, fully armed with a mask and sunglasses, smelled the fragrance in the air.
The beautiful almond-shaped eyes under the sunglasses couldn't help but widen.
Oh, no.
This is indeed the cub he has raised for more than three years, right? !
He had clearly never seen Lan Lan do anything related to cooking.
but why.
This roast duck smells so delicious! ! !
As a father, he originally just wanted to protect his child and comfort his hurt heart after the failure of setting up a stall, but now he was overwhelmed by the delicious taste and wanted to secretly buy a roast duck to taste...
No, it's not possible.
He promised Lan Lan that he would not interfere.
"If Lanlan finds out that I followed her secretly, wouldn't I be a father who doesn't keep his word?" Ye Qingquan said to himself.
Be patient!
Ye Qingquan clenched his teeth and used all his self-control, but his stomach still growled louder and louder.
His eyes were a little moist.
The other side.
In front of the roast duck stall, looking at the three and a half year old roast duck owner in front of her, Xu Shishi also fell silent.
She once thought that to be able to roast such a delicious roast duck, the boss must have at least a dozen years of experience...
As a result, the little guy in front of me has big eyes, a small body, and an innocent and clear look.
Not to mention more than ten years. Xu Shishi suspected that he had only just learned to walk!
Cute is cute.
But even if I jump, I may not be able to hit her knee.
Is the roast duck sold by this little guy really reliable?
For a moment, Xu Shishi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
But that regret completely disappeared when the hot roast duck was brought close to her.
——The skin of such a big roast duck was extremely rosy and shiny, the color was rich and even, and it was still hot from the oven. As Xu Shishi got closer, she could even hear the grease bubbling beneath the crispy skin, with oil and juice dripping down...
The rich fruity aroma of roast duck is like a huge fighting spirit coming towards you.
Xu Shishi was almost slapped unconscious!
"Gulp, gulp."
Xu Shishi swallowed several times.
Jian Yunlan had to patiently ask again:
"Sister, do you want to pack the whole roast duck, or should I slice it for you to take away?"
"No……"
The little boy opened his eyes wide: "No? ...No more?"
"No," Xu Shishi wiped her saliva, "Do you have disposable gloves? Give me two."
What a strange customer! When asked how to pack the food, she didn't answer and instead asked for two disposable gloves.
But the needs of diners must be met.
Jian Yunlan took out a box of disposable gloves and handed two to Xu Shishi.
Xu Shishi quickly put on her gloves, her eyes sparkling, not caring about the burns—
He just picked up the roast duck and started eating it!
Jian Yunlan: "..."
If she hadn't just walked out of the bamboo garden opposite, Jian Yunlan would almost suspect that she was a hungry ghost who was about to starve to death.
"Hoo, hoo, so hot, so hot," Xu Shishi said as she nibbled on the roast duck, her eyes slightly moistened. "Oh my god, how can this roast duck be so fragrant..."
The moment her teeth touched the roast duck skin, she knew that this roast duck was extraordinary.
Take a bite and the translucent red crispy skin breaks with a snap!
The duck skin is hot, fragrant, extremely crispy, and a real pleasure to chew.
After biting through the duck skin, there is soft and juicy duck meat inside. Jian Yunlan did not add too many seasonings and additives, but the rich aroma roasted over the fruit wood charcoal further brought out the deliciousness of the duck meat.
The fat under the crispy skin was roasted into oil and flowed out, but it didn't feel greasy at all. Instead, it gave people a satisfying feeling of eating meat in big mouthfuls, and they couldn't stop eating...
The roast duck was a little too hot after it came out of the oven. Xu Shishi took a bite and blew on it several times before she could take another bite impatiently:
"Wow, it smells so good, so good!"
Xu Shishi had clearly just had a big meal in Zhuyuan, but now she felt as if she hadn't eaten for three days.
She held the roast duck and took big bites of it without caring about her image!
Even the driver from the Xu family who came to pick her up couldn't help rubbing his eyes when he saw this scene.
——The eldest daughter of their family, Xu Shishi, was brought up as the heir of the Xu family since she was a child. She was pampered and elegant from her hair to her toes. She was a rich lady.
Who is this woman in front of me with disheveled hair, eating roast duck madly?
"Miss, Miss, please pay attention to your image," the driver of the Xu family walked up to her with tears in his eyes, trying to block other people's gazes with his arms outstretched, but he couldn't do anything, "Everyone is watching us!"
But Xu Shishi seemed not to hear anything. She was just immersed in the happiness brought by the roast duck: "Crunch, crunch, crunch..."
She had thought that the Zhuyuan Roast Duck, which she had been looking forward to for a whole year, would be the highlight of her day.
But at this moment, holding such a roast duck, Xu Shishi had already forgotten about the Zhuyuan Roast Duck.
Eating this delicious roast duck that costs only 100 yuan, and then thinking about the fact that Zhuyuan roast duck costs 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, it’s simply a rip-off...
The crispy skin of the roast duck and the hot and soft duck meat are chewed between the lips and teeth, and the meat oil flows out, but accompanied by the fragrance of fruit wood, it does not seem greasy at all. Instead, the more you chew, the more fragrant and delicious it becomes.
Such a big roast duck, but she had eaten half of it in the blink of an eye!
“…”
Just as Xu's driver said, the doormen, security guards, and drivers of other diners who were coming and going in Zhuyuan fell silent when they saw this scene.
After hearing what the Xu family driver said, many people pretended not to see it and looked away.
As the most prestigious private restaurant in Beijing, Zhuyuan is frequented by big shots, and Xu Shishi is not the most important one among them. After all, she still has to follow the process to make an appointment and queue up.
Those real big guys can just cut in line and get their meals. For example, the person who just entered, Mu Mingqiu, the eldest son of the Mu family, is a VIP customer of Zhuyuan and a well-known figure in the entire Beijing circle.
But even though Xu Shishi was not considered a heavyweight guest, everyone knew the rules. Of course, you can't disclose the guests' privacy casually. Just pretend you didn't see it.
But it’s hard to say what I’m thinking.
Under the guidance of the parking attendant, driver Wu Weiguo drove Mr. Mu's Maybach into the parking lot. When he walked out of the parking lot, he saw this scene.
Like everyone else, Wu Weiguo pretended not to see it and looked away.
But he was just worried in his heart.
"...Why does the eldest daughter of the Xu family look like a starving ghost reincarnated?"
As Mu Mingqiu's driver, Wu Weiguo usually picks Mu Mingqiu up and drops him off at various dinner parties, and has also met many social celebrities.
Last month, the engagement banquet of Mu Mingqiu, the eldest son of the Mu family, and Huo Ye, the prince of the Huo family, was so grand and gorgeous that it was said that the banquet itself cost eight figures. Not only were almost all the well-known figures in the Beijing circle invited, but also many celebrities and superstars. The media also reported on it for many days in a row.
Mu Mingqiu and Huo Ye grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Their engagement is a perfect match, a strong union, and the lovers finally get married, so the engagement dinner is naturally going to be a grand one.
Although there are rumors that Huo Ye once kept a canary who looked three-quarters similar to Mu Mingqiu. Even more bizarre gossip says that the canary was pregnant when she escaped.
But those are all old things, and few people mention them now.
Wu Weiguo had an impression of Xu Shishi because of the engagement dinner.
As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Shishi was also invited to attend the dinner.
But Wu Weiguo clearly remembered that at the engagement dinner, Xu Shishi behaved very decently and elegantly, holding a red wine glass, wearing a dark green evening dress, moving with moderation, speaking and laughing, showing the elegant demeanor of the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
How come a street roast duck would expose her true form?
But after walking two steps out of the parking lot, Wu Weiguo couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh shit".
Smelling the aroma of roast duck wafting in the wind, he realized...
Such delicious roast duck!
I think the young lady has her reasons for eating without caring about her image.
At the same time, Wu Weiguo's stomach began to growl.
Zhuyuan is Mu Mingqiu’s favorite private restaurant. Whether it is for business or private socializing, Mu Mingqiu will invite people to Zhuyuan. They are drivers, and they cannot just run away when their employer is eating inside. Otherwise, if their employer comes out after eating and doesn't see the driver, do they still want to work?
Usually, Wu Weiguo would bring some rolls, steamed buns, etc. from home to fill his stomach.
But he was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring it with him. In addition, he had been busy picking up Mu Mingqiu all day...
How could you resist the smell of roast duck?
Wu Weiguo endured the hunger in his stomach and walked quickly to the roast duck stall.
The closer he got to the roast duck stall, the more confused he became.
Where is the boss?
The roast duck smells so delicious, could it be that the boss has left his post and is not watching the stall? Aren’t you afraid of someone stealing your duck?
"Boss, how much is the roast duck?" Wu Weiguo asked tentatively.
...Soon, his doubts were answered.
"One hundred yuan each." A childish voice came.
Wu Weiguo lowered his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
The three-year-old boss, who was wearing a mask, gave him an extremely cute smile: "Welcome."
——Life is not easy, so I have to set up a stall.
Wu Weiguo: “…”
This kid's mental state is forty years ahead of his peers!
A thousand comments of complaints flashed through Wu Weiguo's mind.
But what Wu Weiguo wanted to complain more about than the boss’s young age was the price of the roast duck.
Unlike Xu Shishi who spends money like water, Wu Weiguo is just an ordinary driver who has to support his family. For one hundred yuan, you can buy five roast ducks at other roadside stalls. Whether you eat them or throw them away, it is still more cost-effective than spending one hundred yuan per duck.
Wu Weiguo hesitated a little.
But the fragrance that wafted over was hard to ignore...
Suddenly, Wu Weiguo saw the driver of the Xu family who was trying hard to help Xu Shishi maintain the image of a rich lady. The driver of the Xu family spread his arms, seemingly trying hard to block the sight of everyone, but in fact, his own eyes were firmly glued to the oven.
This is normal.
After all, with such a delicious roast duck at such a close distance, who can resist it, normal human?
But Xu family driver Xiao He, like Wu Weiguo, is struggling with the somewhat expensive price.
Wu Weiguo suddenly had an idea and asked, "Boss, can we share a roast duck?"
Hearing this, Xiao He also raised his head suddenly.
What a good idea!
Why didn't he think of it just now?
"Of course," the little boy nodded, his bright eyes looking at the two sincerely, "Uncles, do you want to share a portion? Do you want to take it away directly, or do you want to cut it and pack it up?"
Xu Shishi next to her couldn't wait and started eating the roast duck.
But this is Beijing after all, and adhering to the principle of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", Jian Yunlan not only prepared shredded green onions and cucumbers, and thin spring pancake wrappers, but also specially made duck sauce with sweet noodle sauce as the base. At this time, the reddish-brown bubbling duck sauce was warming up on the side.
Coat the sliced roast duck with duck sauce, add cucumber and green onion, roll it in a translucent thin spring pancake, and put it in your mouth...
The taste is so wonderful.
"Can it be cut?" Upon hearing this, Wu Weiguo instantly became interested. "Okay, then we'll each have half a roast duck, cut it and pack it up."
Xiao He also stopped spreading his arms to block his view.
Both of them swallowed their saliva and scanned the code to pay neatly.
Two tall and strong men squatted beside the tricycle, watching the little boy skillfully lift the roast duck from the oven and place it on the chopping board.
Unlike Xu Shishi, the two of them were able to maintain basic calm and not starve to death or become reincarnated ghosts.
But even so, seeing the whole, bright red roast duck in front of them, emitting fragrant hot steam, they almost couldn't help themselves and almost went up to hold the duck and chew it...
The little boy’s body was so small that even with a modified children’s tricycle, he still had to stand on a small stool to reach the chopping board. He rolled up his sleeves, put on disposable gloves, and picked up the kitchen knife beside him.
The boy tilted his head back with his hair curled up, so cute that it made people's hearts tremble.
Even the boy's hands were chubby, but he was holding a kitchen knife. The cold light on the tip of the knife reflected the boy's clear black eyes.
This scene is a bit mysterious.
Wu Weiguo couldn't help but doubt, how could such a tiny thing cut the roast duck?
Even a 5-foot-tall man like Wu Weiguo, who had never received professional training, did not have the confidence that he could cut the roast duck.
The roast duck looked bigger than the little boy.
"Little boss," Wu Weiguo couldn't help but say, "How about I help--"
Boom!
The little boy looked calm and stabbed the opponent with the knife.
The whole roast duck was perfectly split in half right down the middle!
The roast duck was tilted to the left and right, steaming, with a little juice flowing out. The aroma of the roast duck after being cut is even stronger, and it penetrates into people's noses...
“Wow!”
This time, not only Wu Weiguo, but also Xiao Wu and Xu Shishi beside him, opened their eyes wide and couldn't help but applaud: "This knife work is beautiful!"
Cutting the roast duck requires clean and neat movements. Not only does one need to be strong, but the knife must also be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
The little boy in front of me held the kitchen knife as skillfully as a master chef who had been cooking for decades, with a calm look and quick movements. Swish, swish, swish, the big roast duck was cut into pieces in the blink of an eye, without any delay. The slices were all even in size, and the slices could even be joined together seamlessly.
The way several people looked at the little boy also changed.
"Little boss, what's your name?" Xiao He couldn't help but ask.
The little boy put the roast duck into two takeaway boxes, and also packed up the cucumber shreds, green onion shreds, spring pancake wrappers and duck sauce, and replied with a smile: "Just call me Xiao Lan."
"Okay, Boss Xiaolan!"
Wu Weiguo, Xiao He and Xu Shishi looked at each other.
Before, when they looked at the little boy, they saw the adults’ tolerance and pampering of the cute child, but of course they also had some distrust. After all, isn’t it a bit naughty for a three-year-old to set up a stall?
But now, the way they looked at the little boy was filled with admiration.
Soon, this admiration was replaced by another emotion...
fanaticism.
Wu Weiguo and Xiao He rubbed their hands together and took their respective portions of roast duck. They originally wanted to pack up and eat somewhere else, but when they smelled the aroma and felt the slightly hot temperature of the roast duck, they couldn't resist.
Totally crazy!
Wu Weiguo couldn't wait to pick up a spring roll. The translucent spring roll was thin and tough, and he spread it out in his palm.
Then, he picked up a piece of roast duck and dipped it in the reddish-brown sticky duck sauce. After making sure that the duck was coated with the duck sauce, he put it in a spring roll skin, sandwiched it with shredded green onions and cucumbers, rolled it up, and put it into his mouth.
“I’ll go…”
Chewing the roast duck roll, Wu Weiguo was stunned.
The spring roll skin is very thin, just as it looks, soft and elastic. After your teeth bite through the spring pancake skin, the extremely crispy roast duck skin inside comes out...
The hot roast duck skin, fresh from the oven, is extremely crispy. When you bite it, hot fat will flow out, mixed with the fragrance of fruit wood. As you chew, the duck skin crackles in your mouth, followed by the soft and tender duck meat, which is fat and lean and full of juice.
The duck sauce based on sweet noodle sauce is the finishing touch!
The sweet and sour sauce does not overshadow the dish, but the delicate and chewy duck meat and the fragrant duck skin make it an eye-opener and highlight the deliciousness of the duck meat.
Wu Weiguo closed his eyes and savored the duck meat covered in sauce. He felt that every bite was incredibly delicious. He could also taste the refreshing shredded green onion and cucumber. Wrapped in the chewy dough, it tasted better the more he chewed it.
Xiao He standing by was also immersed in the delicious taste brought by the roast duck.
He looked dazed, sucking the remaining juice on his fingers, and said, "Oh my God, it's really delicious. How can the duck skin be so crispy, and the duck sauce is so sour, sweet and delicious..."
After eating a mouthful of roast duck, Wu Weiguo made a prompt decision: "Boss Xiaolan, cut me another whole roast duck!"
——Later facts proved that this was an extremely correct decision.

Wanjie Live Broadcast Room, special area for "Genius Baby Three and a Half Years Old".
The live broadcast room of 'Happy Little Blue' was newly built along with the establishment of the special zone, but it has quickly accumulated several thousand viewers.
The comments were filled with question marks:
【? ? ? 】
【? ? ? ? ? ? 】
[No, it’s a real stall. Are there really so many customers coming to buy? 】
[Too weird]
[Why is this kid so skilled at setting up stalls!] ! ! (fall)】
[Can anyone tell me whether this guy is professional in making roast duck? Why does it look like that to me (sweating like soybeans)]
[I have to say that they are really professional, even more professional than my father who has been selling roast duck for more than ten years]
【=口= No, this is roast duck made by a three and a half year old kid. Is there really anyone who dares to buy and eat it? ? ! Are there still so many people? ? ? How delicious is it?]
[I am greedy just looking at this... I really want to eat roast duck... Damn, I hate this barbaric interstellar plane with only inhibitors]
[Why is Ye Qingquan acting so useless? Hahahahahaha. What kind of forbearing pure white canary are you? Are you crying just because you can't eat your own child's roast duck? ? 】
Seeing more and more people joining the discussion of "Is roast duck delicious?" and "Is the roast duck cooking method professional?", finally some serious fans couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out:
[Have you all been led astray? This is "The Genius Baby is Three and a Half Years Old". What's the use of the roast duck being fragrant and delicious? This Little Blue is not cute enough at all. We are going to start fixing the bugs soon. With him being like this, can it be fixed into a bug? ? ? 】
After these words were spoken, many viewers reacted.
Yes, I almost got led astray.
Their "Genius Baby Three and a Half Years Old" is not a food section, it's a baby-showing section!
The concept of "cuteness value" was created by the audience. As the name suggests, it refers to the cuteness of a baby in the original plot of the book. The more it melts people's hearts and makes them exclaim that it is cute, the more successful it is.
——This "cuteness value" will be of great use in the upcoming process of fixing the bugs in the melodramatic article.
The cuter the baby, the higher the chance of successfully fixing the bug. This is a way that has been explored through practice by successive generations of cute baby anchors.
Although no one expects any cute kid to conquer "The Genius Baby is Three and a Half Years Old", the more bugs that are fixed and the higher the ratings, the more popular it will be, and the more attention it will attract from scouts and fans.
On the contrary, those who do not fix enough bugs will be eliminated early.
[A new viewer would like to ask timidly: why do the kids have to show off their cuteness in order to successfully fix the bug? 】
Seeing someone asking a question in the comments, the enthusiastic old audience immediately answered in a few words:
[For example]
[If I remember correctly, the first bug is related to Mu Mingqiu, the white moonlight marriage partner of the protagonist Huo Ye. 】
[After Ye Qingquan brought the baby back to China, Mu Mingqiu, who had no connection with Ye Qingquan, suddenly began to regard Ye Qingquan as a thorn in his side. Mu Mingqiu is madly targeting Ye Qingquan. Not only does he want to eliminate Ye Qingquan, he also wants to raise a three-and-a-half-year-old baby with Huo Ye... This is one of the huge bugs that readers have been complaining about.]
[This is indeed very unreasonable (slamming the table) Isn’t Mu Mingqiu a rich and pampered young master? Why is he so eager to be a stepfather to someone else’s child?]
[Ohhhh, I understand!] I see! This is why kids need to work hard to show off their cuteness! 】
With everyone's explanation, the new audience gradually understood everything.
[The only reasonable explanation is! This kid is so cute that it melted Mu Mingqiu's heart. That's why Mu Mingqiu was so crazy about ostracizing Ye Qingquan and wanted to become the kid's stepfather.
【I see, that’s how it is】
[Then isn’t Xiao Lan in danger?] Although he looks cute, but selling roast duck at a stall... doesn't look like the kind of thing that can make Mu Mingqiu cute, right? ! 】
[Xiao Lan, if you just focus on setting up the stall and don’t work hard to be cute, you will be eliminated! 】
