Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 186 The Names of Hongxiufang and Xiankeju
The restaurant in front of Liu Ya is very grand, a three-story building with red walls and green tiles.There are four guises and five lanterns in front of the gate, which looks very grand.On the lintel in the center, the plaque is also large and imposing, with the three characters of "Xiankeju" written in flamboyant style.

What surprised Liu Ya even more was that there was a burst of roast duck aroma coming from this "Xiankeju".

Liu Ya couldn't help laughing, could it be that she was so hungry that she came here looking for the taste of roast duck?But now that he has arrived here, Liu Ya has the idea of ​​going in and taking a look.

Liu Yake didn't feel sorry for herself because of her shabby clothes, nor did she feel that she was out of place with this place, instead, she walked in gracefully.

Naturally, there was a receptionist at the door, but he was taken aback when he saw Liu Ya walking in.But this guy should be more easy-going at ordinary times, so he didn't mean to stop Liu Ya, but just asked peacefully beside Liu Ya: "Miss, do you want to eat or rest?"

"Oh? Can I rest here?" Liu Ya felt strange. Generally speaking, restaurants are places to eat.Moreover, in such an imposing restaurant, it is considered very good not to stop oneself from entering the door. I am afraid that in some places, the dog's eyes look down on people, and people are about to be chased away at the door.

The guy smiled, and pointed to the left hand side: "The people who come and go are all customers, so our host specially prepared those two tables for the individual guests to rest. There are teapots and water glasses on the table. Rest, there is water even if you are thirsty.”

Liu Ya looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, she saw two small square tables placed by the window.Each table is equipped with four chairs, a teapot and four water cups on the table, which is quite complete.

And there were already two people sitting on one of the tables, both drinking water.But it looked like two people who didn't know each other, and they didn't see them talking to each other.

Liu Ya pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that the owner here should be a caring person. With such hospitality, it's no wonder that this Xianke residence is so lively, with constant visitors.

Liu Ya said: "I'm just tired from walking and want to rest my feet. Is it okay if I sit over there for a while?"

"Of course it's possible, girl, please." The man led Liu Ya over and pulled out a chair for her, allowing Liu Ya to sit alone at another table.Before leaving, he lifted the kettle to make sure there was water in it, and then said: "Girl, just rest, I'm going to greet other guests."

Liu Ya hurriedly asked again: "Brother, I brought a sugar bag, can I eat it with the water from your place?"

The guy was taken aback, but finally nodded, said "Young lady take it easy", and then left.

Liu Ya said this on purpose.Not to mention in such a large restaurant, even if it is a small restaurant, it is not unreasonable for you to bring a sugar bag and sit on someone's table and chair to eat.

However, this guy's performance was very good, which made Liu Ya feel a little more fond of the big boss here.At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, the behind-the-scenes owner of Hongxiufang smells like roast duck, so what is the relationship between him and this Xiankeju?

Just thinking about it, I saw a plate of roast duck on the opposite table.The roasted duck was not very good, the skin was slightly burnt, and the color was not so bright.But it smelled good, which made Liu Ya's stomach growl again.

Liu Ya pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, and hurriedly poured a glass of water to drink.She also needs face, why suddenly looked at the dishes on the table and growled.

However, Liu Ya quietly looked at the other two tables, and found that almost every table would have a roast duck served, but each one was a bit over-roasted.But seeing the way the guests eat the roast duck seems to be very happy, and they should also think that the roast duck is particularly delicious.

Liu Ya couldn't help frowning, thinking: Is it because the roast duck chef in Xiankeju is not good at it, or these guests have never eaten authentic roast duck?
It stands to reason that the skin of roast duck is the most delicious, oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious.And the roast duck is not served on the table as a whole, but a professional chef slices the roast duck and puts it on the plate. The duck is the most delicious when dipped in sauce and wrapped with scallions.Duck bones can also be made into delicious soup, which can be described as eating two ducks.

But these guests eat roast duck just like they eat roast chicken, they tear the roast duck apart and feast on it.His mouth was full of oil, but he was full of praise.

After observing for a while, Liu Ya guessed that this roast duck should be the signature of this Xiankeju.But the way of eating is not authentic, or the custom is like this, so the guests also eat like this.

Liu Ya raised her hand to beckon, and called the guy from before over.Asked: "Is this Xiankeju's roast duck a signature dish?"

"Yo, the girl doesn't look like a foreigner. Why don't you know about our Xiankeju. The roast duck in Xiankeju is a handicraft handed down from the owner's family, and it has been passed down to our owner's generation for the fourth generation. This one The roast ducks are all seasoned, marinated, and roasted by the owner himself, so there are only a few sold every day, and they will be gone if they come late. Even the wealthy and officials in the capital want to eat authentic roast ducks. Come here as a guest, there is no semicolon."

After listening, Liu Ya's mind flashed, and she roughly understood the relationship between the man in Hongxiufang and this Xiankeju.Liu Ya asked again: "The Hongxiufang two streets to the north is also the property of your big boss?"

"That's right. Who in Anji City doesn't know our Zhao Dadong's house. Hongxiufang and Xiankeju are well-known far and wide. Even in the capital, there are such famous ones."

It turned out to be the case.In this way, the man cooks the roast duck with the secret recipe every day, and in order to preserve the secret recipe, he has to do it himself, so it's no wonder that he has such a strong smell of roast duck.

Liu Ya said: "Then how do you sell the roast duck? I want to buy one now, is there any more?"

"Our roast ducks are all batches of ducks personally selected by the big boss, and the roasted ducks are about the same size. Therefore, they are sold by one piece, and each one is seven yuan. But this is still the price you eat here. If you want to buy If you order a roast duck and take it away, it will cost you eight renminbi each. However, you are late today, girl. Our roast duck has been pre-ordered in the morning, and now the two ovens are sold out. There is another oven for guests We can't sell it to you if we order it without authorization."

After hearing the price, Liu Ya didn't plan to buy it either.It's not that she has never eaten roast duck, so she can't afford to buy such a poorly roasted duck to eat.

However, Liu Ya looked at the roast duck being eaten by the guests at the next table, and already had other plans in her mind.
