The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 140: Every time a dog is slaughtered in a righteous way, a ruthless person will blackmail the scholar.

After dealing with the bastard Cui Zhi, everyone was in a good mood and walked all the way to Qianmen Street while chatting and laughing.

Quanjude is a time-honored brand in the imperial capital. The old store is located at No. 24, Roushi Street, Qianmenwai. Since it pioneered the public-private partnership in 1952, it has received considerable support from the state and has been able to expand its old stores and open new ones.

Although Quanjude at this time was still not as good as Biianfang, a giant in the roast duck industry, Quanjude's hanging oven roast duck is quite famous in Qianmen Street. The heritage of the century-old store cannot be underestimated. From time to time, it can be found on the street. On the wall, I saw an advertisement printed by Quanjude and a phone number for ordering food.

That's right, at this time, Quanjude had already started ordering food over the phone and delivering food to your doorstep, and it was an advanced business operation.

When they arrived at the old store at the front gate of Quanjude, everyone followed Zhao Guobing in.

Entering the hall, there were many customers inside. At first glance, the hall was filled with more than a dozen tables of guests, which was quite lively.

There were only five of them in total, Li Weiguo, and they didn't choose a box. They just found a table in the corner of the hall and sat down.

As soon as Zhao Guobing sat down, he said to Li Weiguo and Zhou Can: "Let's go choose the duck first and roast the duck first. It will take at least more than half an hour to select and roast the duck."

At this time, Quanjude still followed the old tradition, allowing customers to select duck embryos on site and then bake them on site.

Zhou Can nodded and said, "Okay, let's walk."

Zhao Guobing came to this place frequently. He skillfully took a form from the waiter and filled it out. Then he took Li Weiguo and Zhou Can to the back to select duck embryos, leaving Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun guarding their seats. .

Li Weiguo also found it novel. Although he had eaten Quanjude before time travel, he had never seen this old traditional procedure of selecting duck embryos, and it had long been canceled in later generations.

The three of them followed a waiter all the way to the back of the store, into a warehouse dedicated to hanging duck embryos. Next door was the roasting duck stove. Through a wall, they could still feel the bursts of heat coming from the fireplace.

In the warehouse, on two large rows of wooden shelves, hanging ducks were blowing loudly. At a glance, there were about forty or fifty of them, which was quite spectacular.

Li Weiguo didn't know much about roast duck. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't know how to choose, so he touched Zhou Can next to him with his elbow: "Fat man, how do you choose these ducks? How many should you choose?"

Zhou Can also followed and stared there for a long time. It seemed that he was also a fake foodie and knew nothing about it. He shook his head when he heard the question.

"I don't understand. I feel like these ducks are all about the same size. There seems to be no difference. Forget it, let's let the national soldiers do it." After that, Zhou Can stopped looking and stood aside waiting for Zhao Guobing to choose.

Zhao Guobing was an expert. After studying several rows of ducks for a long time, he finally selected two relatively plump duck embryos. Then he picked up the brush provided by the waiter, dipped it in sugar and drew a mark on the duck embryos.

Li Weiguo and Zhou Can looked lonely the whole time. Anyway, they have not learned the skill of choosing duck embryos at all, so just wait and eat.

When the three people returned to the hall, Zhao Guobing said again: "It will take a long time before the roast duck is served. Why don't we get some food first?"

Zhou Can didn't care what he got, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are the rich man today, you have the final say, we will just sit back and wait to eat."

Li Weiguo and the others had no objection and allowed Zhao Guobing to make arrangements.

Zhao Guobing nodded, picked up the menu from the table, looked at it for a while, and then said: "Okay, let's order fried diced duck, sliced ​​meat and tofu, soft fried pork, sliced ​​mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and dried shrimp and rapeseed. The staple food will be loaded with garlic." The leaf cake will be eaten with the roast duck later, four taels per person at first, and the green onion sauce for 5 people."

Seeing his attitude of not asking for money, Li Weiguo quickly dissuaded him: "Guo soldiers, just eat something, you have two ducks, plus these few dishes, you will lose more than half a month's salary, and we will lose it." Just kidding, you really have to work hard."

Li Weiguo was right, the things from Quanjude were not cheap.

Roast duck costs 8 yuan a piece, fried duck diced in oil costs 1.9 cents, sliced ​​meat and tofu cost 65 cents, soft fried pork costs 9 cents, mushroom and bamboo shoot slices cost 2 yuan a piece, dried shrimps and rapeseed cost 60 cents, lotus leaf pancake costs 10 cents and 20 cents, and green onion sauce. Materials cost two cents each.

The total cost of this table of dishes is twenty-four yuan and fifteen cents, which is equivalent to a worker's monthly salary.

Lao Mo, who had just eaten a few days ago, was eating Quanjude today. Li Weiguo was worried that he would use up his little treasury and have to eat soft food when he went on a date with his partner.

Zhao Guobing didn't care much. He waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Hey, it's a trivial matter. I'm a virgin, aren't I? My parents allocated me love funds, fifty yuan a month, not bad money."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Li Weiguo and Zhou Can, being very arrogant.

When Zhou Can heard this, he was filled with envy: "Good guy, I can still get a salary for my partner. Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are so generous."

Then he changed the topic: "If you ask too much, do our parents still need a son?"

"I don't think I'm missing a son, but I'm missing a grandson. How about I take you to meet my parents and let them investigate?"

"Go away, I regard you as my brother, but you actually want to be my father?"

"Hahaha" everyone roared with laughter.

After reporting the name of the ordered dishes to the waiter, the waiter quickly wrote down an order and then went to the kitchen to place the order for them.

As soon as the waiter left, Li Weiguo asked: "Guobing, did Ding Guandong say how Cui Zhi will be punished?"

While they were there, they just helped make notes, and Ding Guandong didn't explain anything else clearly, so everyone was curious at the moment.

Zhao Guobing replied: "I told you, I will probably have to work in the Pao'er Bureau for a few years. We have to wait for notification of the details."

"Okay, just go in. But you are so cruel. You just shoved a stack of expired food stamps in for him. You have to explain this matter to Ding Guandong carefully. Treat him to a nice meal, but don't Make people think that you are using them as a weapon." Li Weiguo warned.

After all, this matter is suspected of taking advantage of others, so it is better to explain it clearly so that no friends will have to do it in the future.

Zhao Guobing chuckled: "Hey, don't worry, it's okay. He was the one who gave me this idea."

Li Weiguo: "."

Well, it's all useless to worry about him. It turns out that these two brothers are still working together.

Li Weiguo was speechless and said: "It's true that every time you kill a dog in a righteous way, you are ruthless and blackmails the scholar."

Zhou Can, who was on the side, also echoed: "Enemies, enemies, Guobing, this guy looks like an honest scholar, but in fact he is a wilted and bad person, so he only encourages me to trick others."

Speaking of which, the stack of expired food stamps in Cui Zhi's pocket was stuffed by him himself when he held Cui Zhi down.

Zhao Guobing argued: "What's wrong? Let's get rid of harm for the people. That kid Cui Zhi is just a piece of mud. If we don't clean him up, what will happen if he comes back to trouble us again?"

It's better to send him in to reform, so as not to stay outside and harm the people of Xinjiekou. If you ask me, Guo Jia owes us a certificate for this merit. "

Zhou Can said with a smile: "As expected, he is a street cadre, he has developed his shame."

"Hahaha" everyone laughed.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the next few dishes came out one after another.

Stir-fried diced duck, sliced ​​meat and tofu, soft fried pork, sliced ​​mushrooms and bamboo shoots, dried shrimps and rapeseed, both meat and vegetables, the menu is not too small.

Zhao Guobing didn't care about bickering with Zhou Can, and hurriedly called for everyone to start: "Come on, everyone, let's eat. Don't be polite to Shanzi and Xiaojun. Open up. If there's not enough, we can add more."

Zheng Shan and the other two nodded quickly and said, "Okay, you don't need to say hello."

When things were put on the table, everyone was not polite and started using their chopsticks.
