After buying clothes for Gu Huanhuan, Su Nuan planned to buy some imported snacks and chocolates. Gu Chengmin's daughter had been staying at her grandmother's house and she hadn't seen her for the past two days. She heard that she would return to the compound today, so she bought some food that children like, and she thought she would like it.
Su Nuan, while choosing snacks, asked Gu Huanhuan
"Huanhuan, Cheng Feng said that my second brother's daughter is coming back to the compound today. Do you know what snacks she likes to eat? Let's buy some together."
Gu Huanhuan: "Oh, Niuniu likes to eat candy and chocolate. My mother is usually afraid that she will get cavities if she eats too much candy, so she only limits her candy intake to a few pieces a day, otherwise she will eat too much."
"Okay, I'll buy more varieties but smaller quantities so I can try more. What do you think of this?"
The two were choosing food and candy at the counter, while Gu Chengfeng, carrying large and small bags, followed them quietly behind.
Soon, after buying snacks, it was almost noon.
Gu Huanhuan: "Third brother, should we go back home to eat or eat outside?"
Gu Chengfeng: "Nuannuan, what do you want to eat?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat roast duck." Later generations of FamilyMart roast duck were commercialized. Many old Beijing people said that they could no longer eat authentic roast duck at FamilyMart. They wondered if they could eat it now.
Gu Chengfeng nodded and asked, "Do you have anything else to buy? If not, let's go eat."
The two of them shook their heads, and Gu Chengfeng led them to the parking lot outside the store.
After getting in the car, Gu Chengfeng drove directly to Family Mart Roast Duck. Nowadays, the old Beijing people still recognize Family Mart Roast Duck.
After they arrived, they asked for a private room. Gu Chengfeng directly ordered two roast ducks and ordered more if they were not enough. Then they sat and waited for the food to be served.
After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the side dishes and seated the guests first. The main dish, the roast duck, was served last. A master chef came in and sliced the duck on the spot. Su Nuan watched with great interest. The master chef had a very skilled technique. He sliced the duck with different techniques and strengths for different parts. The sliced duck meat had distinct muscles, which greatly increased one's appetite.
After the master had sliced the duck and left the box, Gu Chengfeng took a piece of dough and wrapped a roast duck roll for Su Nuan and handed it to her.
Su Nuan took it and tasted it. It tasted quite different from the ones in later generations. It had a thin dough with some chopped green onions and cucumbers, roast duck, and sweet bean sauce. It was not greasy and had a fruity aroma. The meat was not dry and tasted very good. After eating a few bites, Su Nuan started to wrap the roast duck.
Gu Chengfeng: "Not bad, right?"
Su Nuan wrapped the roast duck and nodded while eating.
In later life, Su Nuan ate at FamilyMart. At that time, FamilyMart was very famous. You had to queue for a long time to get in. Moreover, the roast duck was roasted a long time ago. After the dish was served, the duck meat was cold and tasted very greasy. After going there once, she never went there again. Unexpectedly, FamilyMart roast duck is now worthy of its reputation.
The three of them ate and chatted, and the two roast ducks were completely finished.
"Cheng Feng, is there an open antique market in Jing City now?"
"Yes, in Liulichang, Beijing. My grandfather would go there whenever he had time, and sometimes he could find something there."
"Really? Then let's go check it out later."
"Are you interested in antiques?"
Su Nuan nodded. "Yes, my grandfather used to take me to underground auctions or flea markets in Country Y to look for antiques and cultural relics from China. I've been influenced by him and started to like these things. You don't know that the best antiques and cultural relics from China are often exported abroad. I know where they go."
Gu Chengfeng frowned and nodded. "There will always be people who take risks to do something profitable. It's just that things that belong to our country are flowing into foreign countries, and some can't even return to the country. It still hurts to think about it."
"Yes, that's why my grandfather often buys cultural relics, but he can only do his bit."
Seeing the increasingly serious atmosphere in the conversation, Gu Huanhuan could only interrupt by saying, "Hey, stop thinking so much. Let's go to Liulichang this afternoon and see if we can find some study supplies for Grandpa to cheer him up."
Su Nuanhe said, "Then let's set off now."
Watching the two excited people walking out arm in arm, Gu Chengfeng could only follow behind silently.
