The things they bought were heavy and it was inconvenient to bring a child with them, so they found a porter on the street to deliver rice paper and books to their home. After solving the burden, Yang Yuanzu held the child in one hand and held Lin Ting'an in the other. On the busy street, every time they passed a restaurant, the two of them would lower their heads and talk to each other.

“How about this mutton shabu-shabu?”

"No, mutton smells bad."

"How about a noodle shop? Buns, steamed buns, dumplings and noodles."

There is nothing new about eating these things at home. Lin Ting'an frowned slightly, and before Yang Yuanzu could answer, he said, "Let's look at other things. There are so many delicious things on this street."

The couple finally stopped between a roast duck restaurant and a fresh fish restaurant. The roast duck was crispy and the fish was tender and tender. There was still some time before dinner, and both restaurants were almost full of diners. Business looks good.

"Xiao An, what do you want to eat? Can you eat roast duck?" Yang Yuanzu looked at the two stores, turned around and asked his wife first.

Lin Ting'an smiled and asked the tiger baby gently: "What does the little tiger baby want to eat today?"

A young child's voice sounded: "Yuyu!"

Yang Yuanzu was full of rejection when he heard this. Every time they ate fish, the child ate the fish maw and he ate the fish tail. The fish tail was full of thorns and would get stuck in the throat if not careful.

Before Lin Ting'an promised Yang Yuanzu, he rushed to save it: "It's such a cold weather and the fish bones are already cold before the fish bones are trimmed. And I heard that the roast duck here is definitely not worse than the one at Baiweilou!"

Huwa continued on the side: "Fish..." Yang Yuanzu quickly covered his son's mouth, and then coaxed: "Baby, how about we eat roast duck today? I heard that their roast duck has sweet sauce and tastes sweet. Oh~"

Upon hearing this, Sweet Tooth Huwa's eyes lit up. He wanted to change his mind but was speechless. He found that his mouth was still covered by his old father, so he pulled Yang Yuanzu's big hand away with his two small hands.

Yang Yuanzu covered the child's hand and did not use any force. When the child pulled at him, he withdrew easily.

Huwa changed his mind after a little persuasion by Yang Yuanzu, and said softly: "Duck duck!"

Lin Ting'an smiled and watched Yang Yuanzu fooling the children. Yang Yuanzu was a little embarrassed. This was inconsistent with his usual image of a loving father, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's go in quickly. It's so cold standing outside." And I went late and there was no place.”

As soon as Yang Yuanzu finished speaking, a small snowflake fell in front of Lin Ting'an. Lin Ting'an stretched out his hand to catch the small snowflake. The snowflake fell on his hand and gradually merged with the white plush gloves.

"The north really loves snow." Lin Ting'an raised his head and looked at the sky after speaking, "But it's quite beautiful when it snows."

"My wife, it's cold!"

"Little daddy, the tiger baby is also cold!"

The father and son huddled their necks in their scarves and kicked them with cold hands.

"Let's go, let's have roast duck today."

The father and son said in unison: "My husband (little daddy) is wise!"

The family found a seat by the window and ate while admiring the snowy scenery.

The window seat is prone to draft, and most locals don’t like this location in winter, so most of the available seats are by the window.

"If our guests feel cold, you can ask me to close the window." After leaving these words, the waiter brought them a charcoal brazier to keep them warm.

The roast duck restaurant not only offers roast duck, but also has some other dishes. They ordered a tofu and crucian carp soup to make up for Huwa’s regret of not eating fish today, and drinking hot soup can also warm the body in winter. In addition to these, Yang Yuanzu also ordered two kinds of stir-fried dishes.

Huwa stood on a bench and opened the window to look out curiously. Lin Ting'an was at the side asking for help, fearing that the child would be cold. When Yang Yuanzu saw this, he took off the scarf from his neck and wrapped it around the child, "This way it won't be cold. If your child likes to look outside, let him look at it. This is the age when he is curious about everything.”

Lin Ting'an touched Huwa's hand, which was warm, and then stopped walking around the child.

After a while, the waiter brought the sliced ​​roast duck up, told Yang Yuanzu a few words about how to eat it, then left and brought other dishes.

The way to eat roast duck here is the same as Yang Yuanzu has eaten before, so Yang Yuanzu understood how to eat it as soon as the waiter told him.

The waiter felt relaxed without having to explain it carefully. As expected, scholars are smart. He only said a few words and the other party understood how to eat it.

Although Yang Yuanzu understood, the adults and children across from him still looked at him in confusion.

Yang Yuanzu picked up a piece of dough, picked up a piece of duck meat, dipped it in some sauce and placed it on top of the dough. He also added some side dishes and placed them next to the duck meat. He wrapped them in the dough and explained in his mouth.

"It's so simple, I learned it." After Lin Ting'an said that, he started doing what Yang Yuanzu taught him.

The duck skin is rosy and shiny, the duck meat is tender, smooth and chewy, and tastes crispy and delicious.

Lin Ting'an and his son didn't like to eat raw onions, so when they rolled the duck meat for the second time, they didn't even ask for any shreds of green onions.

In the middle of the lobby, a group of scholars ate roast duck and got excited. They started chanting poems and composing poems in front of the snowy scene of roast duck.

Lin Ting'an listened to a few words and asked Yang Yuanzu: "Does your husband have any ideas?"

Yang Yuanzu said in a puzzled manner: "Why haven't our tofu and crucian carp soup been served yet? Maybe the waiter was busy and forgot." Then he picked up a chopstick and fried cabbage for Huwa, "Children can't be picky eaters. Just like your little daddy who only likes to eat meat and not vegetables."

"I'm not picky about food!" Lin Ting'an retorted after hearing this.

At this time, the waiter came up with tofu and crucian carp soup, interrupting the conversation between the couple. Yang Yuanzu gave everyone a bowl of soup, "Drink the thick white crucian carp soup while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Yang Yuanzu is now just a food worker with only food in his eyes.

At first, only the scholars at the two tables in the middle recited poems and composed poems. Later, the scholars at other tables all participated.

At this time of year, the largest number of people in Changjing are scholars. Seven or eight of the ten people who come to the roast duck restaurant to eat are here to take part in the imperial examination.

After the group of scholars finished reciting poems and composing poems, they found that the food was completely cold and the vegetable oil was so cold that it solidified.

When Yang Yuanzu's family was passing by after eating, they heard the scholar asking the waiter to help bring the food down and heat it up.

Almost all the food in the room had to be brought out and reheated, and the waiter complained internally while working.

When Yang Yuanzu passed by, he thought that the hot meal would not be as delicious as the first time.

Lin Ting'an walked by holding the child, and Yang Yuanzu followed them, holding leftover food in his hand to take back to feed the dog.

The unfinished roast duck and rice were wrapped in oil paper. The rest of the food, soup, water and fat, was inconvenient to pack, so Yang Yuanzu didn't ask for it.

The light snow fell on the ground and was trampled by passers-by and eventually turned into dirty mud. Yang Yuanzu handed the oil paper bag to Lin Ting'an and picked up the child. When the family was about to go out, a group of police officers suddenly appeared. Well-dressed people surrounded the door.
