The entrance is a hollow wall, and the courtyard is vaguely visible, which effectively blocks the view from outside the door.
Walking in from the left, half of the courtyard was partitioned off to form a large room with two tables inside. Song Jinxiu followed Zhao Li into the room.
The rooms inside were slightly smaller, and each room also had two tables. However, Song Jinxiu felt that it was more private.
“Because they are most famous for their roast duck, many people living nearby buy roast duck and take it home to eat.
So the room outside is basically for people to sit and wait, and people like us who come to eat sit inside." Zhao Li introduced.
"Oh!" Song Jinxiu suddenly realized.
“You don’t need to order here, they basically make whatever they have. The portion size will be adjusted based on the number of people.
We just need to tell him we want some roast ducks." Zhao Li continued.
Song Jinxiu nodded. She didn’t expect that such an inconspicuous shop could have so many details!
The roast duck was served quickly. It was golden red in color and looked very appetizing. The duck meat had been cut into pieces and was served with two plates of sour plum sauce.
"This duck leg is the most delicious, try it!" Zhao Li picked up a leg and gave it to Song Jinxiu.
"Thank you, you eat too." Song Jinxiu was of course not polite, she loved eating chicken legs and duck legs the most!
Take a bite, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Because it is dipped in plum sauce, it has a sour and sweet taste and is not greasy at all.
Song Jinxiu thinks it tastes better than Beijing roast duck. After all, Beijing roast duck is eaten with the skin, and both the meat and the skin are delicious!
Zhao Li secretly observed Song Jinxiu while eating. She ate very politely. Although she ate slowly, she could accept it and did not eat fat.
Although it was subtle, I still saw her secretly spitting out the slightly thick skin.
"Eat more!" Zhao Li used a new pair of chopsticks to pick up the other duck leg and gave it to Song Jinxiu.
"Thank you, you have some too." The duck leg was already in his bowl, and it was unrealistic to take it back, so he had no choice but to accept it!
I like eating duck legs, and I look particularly satisfied when eating them. Zhao Li made another note in the little notebook in his heart.
Song Jinxiu had a satisfying meal. The dishes cooked there were also delicious. She would bring Liu Ankang here to learn from him secretly next time.
You can also bring Aunt Cuihua and the others over to try it tomorrow.
Zhao Li didn't know that Song Jinxiu was already planning the next meal before she even finished one.
When Song Jinxiu went to pay, she was told that it had already been paid.
"Didn't we agree that I would treat you?" Song Jinxiu said a little unhappily.
"I want to thank you for accompanying me to try new things today. How can I ask you to pay? I have been thinking about eating here for a long time, but never had the chance to come here. Thank you so much!" Zhao Li said with a smile.
Then he added, "Next time, next time you book a place, I'll definitely let you treat!"
"Okay, we agreed that I'll treat you next time!" Song Jinxiu said.
Although the other party's logic was perverse, it was a good idea not to hit someone who smiled at you! What's more, the other party even treated me to a meal.
After sending Song Jinxiu back to her workplace, Zhao Li left.
When she returned home in the evening, Song Jinxiu told Liu Ankang how delicious the roast duck there was.
The stir-fry is also delicious. I will take him there to try it next time. Then I will come back and cook it for myself!
"Who took you there?" Liu Ankang asked.
"Just, just a friend." Song Jinxiu said a little guiltily.
"Male or female?" Liu Ankang asked.
"Male, male." Song Jinxiu did not forget that Liu Ankang said he was not a good person last time.
"The one who buys cigarettes every day?" Liu Ankang asked.
"I don't buy cigarettes every day, I just come here occasionally." Song Jinxiu said in a low voice.
Then I thought, this isn't right. Isn't this just a normal friendship? Why should I feel guilty?
So he said loudly. "What's wrong? Is it illegal for me to make friends?"
"It's not illegal. I'm just asking. If I can't find you one day, I won't be like a headless fly!" After saying that, he continued to eat his meal!
"Don't be upset. If I disappear, just look for me. Don't commit suicide for me. I didn't expect that I am so important in your heart." Song Jinxiu held Liu Ankang's hand and said with emotion.
"You, what are you crazy about?" Liu Ankang pulled his hand away and moved to the side.
"Didn't you say that if I disappeared one day, you would be like a headless fly? Wouldn't it be useless without a head?" Song Jinxiu said.
"Okay, okay, then remember to protect yourself. You are responsible for two lives." Liu Ankang quickly finished the rice in the bowl and ran away.
"Why does it sound weird?" Song Jinxiu scratched her head, but she didn't care and decided to eat first.
"Why do you stay in your room every day? The air outside is so good. Open your doors and windows to ventilate." Song Jinxiu shouted at Liu Ankang's door.
"Call me when you finish eating and I'll wash it." Liu Ankang's voice came.
"Hey, kid, is this a matter of washing the dishes or not? I'm thinking about your health! But it's getting dark, so don't open the window. Be careful of mosquitoes." Song Jinxiu said while eating.
"Xiaobai hasn't eaten yet, remember to mix the leftovers with his rice!" said Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu felt that Xiaobai was really wronged by coming to the city with her. Not only did he have to stay on this small piece of land every day, but he also had to eat leftovers and grains every day.
There was no need to think about meat, as there wasn't enough food for everyone! Of course, Song Jinxiu would occasionally secretly feed it a few meals.
After all, he is a member of the family and a good housekeeper. Isn’t it right that he should have an extra meal occasionally?
The next day, Song Jinxiu took her two aunts and two children to eat roast duck.
Enjoy life while you can, eat when you want! You never know when you might run out of food.
Sure enough, the things here received unanimous praise from everyone.
"How is it? Can it taste like this?" Song Jinxiu asked Liu Ankang secretly.
"No." Liu Ankang shook his head. "But I should be able to make some progress. I've tasted a few different seasonings. I'll go see what they are then."
"Maybe they made it themselves. Do you know their secret recipe?" Song Jinxiu said.
"It's possible! If crafts were really so easy to learn, there wouldn't be so many skills lost!" Liu Ankang said.
"That's right." So the two of them stopped talking and joined the crowd grabbing food.
When it came time to pay, Song Jinxiu couldn't help but be shocked. No wonder he was the descendant of the imperial chef. The price looked like...
In the next few days, Zhao Li would come to deliver various breakfasts every morning.
He might not show up in the afternoon, so Song Jinxiu didn't go out to eat with him again. It's not good for a single man and a single woman to go out too often.
"Xiao Song, is this your girlfriend?" the older sister at the counter next door asked with a smile.
"No, no, just a friend!" Song Jinxiu quickly denied.
"Oh, friend, I understand, I understand!" The elder sister smiled ambiguously.
No, what do you know? Just a friend.
Song Jinxiu didn't want to keep explaining to the other party. After all, the other party said he understood, and further explanation would only make the matter more obvious!
