At the next venue, Zhao Meiya stared blankly at the giraffe. It was the first time she had seen such a bizarre creature. "Dongbao, look at its neck stretched out. How does it sleep at night?"
"They sleep standing up and only lie down when they are extremely tired."
"Oh, will it cause a stiff neck?"
He Ruixue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No, but sometimes I feel uncomfortable and lean my neck against a tree."
Seeing the giraffe picking leaves from the treetops to eat, Zhao Meiya was amazed and felt that she had really opened her eyes today.
Flying in the sky and swimming in the water, it turns out there are so many strange things in the world.
When she saw the elephant, she commented, "It's really huge! Killing it will yield so much meat that it will feed the whole village for half a year."
He Dagen actually nodded and said, "It should be similar to horse meat, a little harder and not very oily."
This conversation is getting more and more intense.
The next moment, Zhao Meiya ignored the low fence and climbed in directly, touching the elephant's belly. "I thought it was slippery, but it turned out to be rougher than your father's hands."
He Ruixue's pupils trembled, "Mom, what are you doing? Come back quickly!"
Fortunately, the elephant was relatively docile and thought the human was playing with her, so she simply curled her hand with her trunk and sucked her head with the tip of her trunk.
"Oh, it's okay, no one saw us. Come on, take a snapshot in this pose, so cool!"
Unable to persuade her, He Ruixue could only raise her camera.
After pressing the shutter, he quickly waved his hand in his direction and said, "Mom, come back soon. If it accidentally steps on you, you will be squashed."
"Look at your courage. It's a herbivore, how fierce can it be? It's just a bit bigger, just for show. If the village encounters a wild boar coming down the mountain, I dare to hit it with a hoe."
She rubbed the mud on her palms back onto the elephant, strode out, and said nonchalantly, "Let's go. I heard there are colorful birds next door. They're really beautiful. Let's go over there."
"That's called a peacock."
Ever since entering the zoo, her parents have turned into curious babies, always pulling her aside to ask questions, treating her like an encyclopedia. When they came out of the zoo, He Ruixue's mouth was almost dry with talk.
They came across a Quanjude restaurant on the way and quickly took them in. They sat down and ordered food while resting.
The roast duck is priced according to weight. She ordered two for ten dollars, each of which came with duck bones and duck bone soup.
Scallion shreds and soy sauce are 20 cents each, Mu Shu pork is 90 cents, deep-fried pork is 1.6 yuan, and a plate of chicken in lotus leaves is 2.6 yuan, and that's it.
We didn’t order any seafood or vegetables, mainly because my family thought it wasn’t cost-effective.
The vegetables grown in my own field are sold for a few cents after being stir-fried in another place. Is this a rip-off?
As for seafood, it is not oily and will cause diarrhea if you eat too much.
He Ruixue originally wanted to let them try something new, but then she thought that the seafood ordered here were all pickled or dried, and the taste would definitely be lacking.
It would be better to wait for a chance to take it to the beach for a trip, pick it out of the water and put it into the steamer, and eat it in its original flavor.
The ducks are roasted using special firewood, and apprentices in roast duck restaurants need to start their learning by raising ducks.
There are many considerations to consider, such as what breed to choose, what feed to use, and how much exercise the ducks get every day.
The roasted duck was brought to the table for display, and the chef stood by and cut it.
Some regular customers will ask for a knife to cut the duck themselves. The duck skin is dipped in white sugar, which looks like a piece of crispy candy as thin as a piece of paper, and will break into pieces when bitten.
He Ruixue rolled one for each of her parents before putting it into her own mouth.
I have to say that the taste and texture of the ten-yuan roast duck are far superior to the duck that costs 198 yuan in later generations.
The roasting temperature is just right, and the duck has a well-proportioned body. Because it has been moving around, the meat is tender, without any fat accumulation, and it is not greasy or dry.
"Rich people really know how to eat. They can make a delicious meal out of a duck. The soup is so fresh and bright. Dongbao, go back and ask if you can take it away and let your two brothers try it too."
"That should be fine. I'll come over and pack two to take back before I go back."
"No need. Just wrap up the meat left on the table and let them know what it tastes like. You can't expect them to be full."
Wang Taozhi said as she ate, "That's right, a duck can only be cut into two plates, and they charge us ten yuan. We might as well go rob it. We can buy more than ten pounds of meat at home."
“It’s delicious.”
He Xiaojie slowly rolled up the duck meat and refuted her words, "Didn't you hear what they just said? It takes several years to train a chef, and they even light the charcoal fire themselves."
"How can the meat be bad? We still collect our own firewood."
"Then next time, my aunt will bring me and grandma over. If you're worried about money, you can stay home alone and eat whatever you want."
Wang Taozhi was unhappy again, "Why? Your aunt is someone else's daughter. She takes her mother to eat, drink and have fun, but you are secretly enjoying yourself behind my mother's back. Your conscience has grown into your armpit."
Zhao Meiya put down her chopsticks. "Can you talk about something that won't spoil the fun at the dinner table? You're making a fuss! You're ruining my daughter's appetite. If you don't want to eat, just get out. No one's stopping you!"
He Ruixue tried to smooth things over, "Mom, sister-in-law, come and try this chicken slice. I heard it's a famous dish at state banquets."
"Hey, Dongbao is really thoughtful. It would be boring if you don't bring your sister-in-law with you next time you go out to play."
The person she accused raised his brows and said, "Old lady, I have to come with you, so I can't let you live too comfortably."
She doesn't know how to enjoy her blessings and instead chooses to live a hard life. She is not a stingy person.
Wang Taozhi felt bad when spending money, but she still paid what she had to.
She was the one who paid for the roast duck, but He Ruixue was blocked by her and refused to pay.
