Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 92

"Ah? Give it to me? This is too expensive, I don't want it," Bai Xue said.

"Take it, I'm an otaku, I'm busy every day and I don't have time, letting you let it improve its utilization rate," Jiang Hui said.

"Then I'll put it away first," Bai Xue said.

"Let me take a few photos for you first, right next to the Christmas tree over there." Jiang Hui took Bai Xue's hand and went to the side to take a photo.

The two walked around the mall again, Bai Xue picked out a coat for Jiang Hui, but she didn't buy anything.

Almost hungry after shopping, Jiang Hui took Bai Xue to the nearby Bianyifang. There were so many people that he had to wait in line to get a seat.

Although the name of this store is called Bianyifang, it does not mean that the price is cheap.Speaking of the name of Bianyifang, there is still a history. Jiang Hui introduced the situation of Bianyifang to Bai Xue relying on his understanding of it in his previous life.

In 1552 AD (the 30th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty), Yang Jisheng, who was then a member of the Ministry of War (probably equivalent to the current bureau-level cadre), and who lived in Dazhiqiao outside the Xuanwu Gate, impeached Yan Song, the treacherous prime minister, in the imperial court, but was rejected by Yan Song. framed.Coming down, feeling depressed and hungry, I meandered to Mishi Hutong at Caishikou.Suddenly smelling the fragrance, I saw a small shop, and I pushed the door in. The shop was not big, but it was quiet and elegant. The house was full of guests, so I picked up a table and sat down. I ordered roast duck and some wine and vegetables. To cloud nine.

There were also those who recognized him, knowing that he was a famous minister and general who was patriotic, so they reported him to the shopkeeper.The owner served the duck and poured wine for him, showing admiration, so they started talking.Knowing that the name of this store is Bianyifang, and seeing the thoughtful hospitality, I sighed that "this store is really cheap, and the value for money is excellent"!Shout out "bring a pen, quickly get a pen"!The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone arrived early, and Yang Jisheng swiped the three big characters "Bianyifang" at the table!Hello everyone.

Since then, Yang Jisheng and other ministers visited frequently.Later, Yang Jisheng was framed by Yan Song and arrested, and later died.Yan Song asked the boss of Bianyifang to take down the plaque, but the boss refused.Later, Yan Song sent people to remove the plaque forcibly, and the boss used his body to protect the plaque, and was beaten until he vomited blood. Yan Song gave up because of this, and Bianyifang became famous far and wide.

When the shop waiter led two people into the shop, Jiang Hui ordered half a roast duck, and asked Bai Xue to add a few other dishes, waiting to feast on it.

"Why haven't I heard of Bianyifang roast duck before, and thought that the roast duck in Imperial Capital refers to Quanjude roast duck?" Bai Xue said.

"This should be done by Quanjude's publicity. In fact, Bianyifang is older than Quanjude, but both of them have a long history, the taste is not good, and the price is similar. It's just that the way of roast duck is different. Some consumers may prefer one of them,” Jiang Hui said.

"Isn't roast duck roasted in the fire? Is there any difference?" Bai Xue asked.

"Of course, there is a difference. Roast duck is divided into hanging oven roast duck and stewed oven roast duck. Quanjude is a hanging oven, and Bianyifang is a stewing oven. The hanging oven roasting method of Quanjude is to pour the duck into the duck chamber before sending it into the oven. Boiling water, release the boiling water after the duck is cooked. Jujube, peach, pear and other hardwoods are used as fuel in the oven. These fuels have little smoke and fragrance, and the firepower is gentle but not strong. After the duck is put into the oven, the chef holds a long pole, Regularly turn the duck blanks on the roast duck rack, and constantly change the position of the duck so that the duck is heated evenly and can be roasted all over the body. Fruit trees and firewood are burned in the oven, and the heat of the charcoal fire shoots to the top of the oven, The furnace wall is then reflected to the duck body to roast the duck. After about 40 minutes of roasting, the roasted duck is plump in appearance, maroon in color, crispy in skin, charred on the outside and tender in the inside, with a hint of fruit wood fragrance," Jiang Hui said.

"After hearing what you said, I feel more hungry. How about the roasting method of Bianyifang we ate today?" Bai Xue asked.

"Bianyifang uses the method of roasting in a simmering oven. The so-called simmering oven is actually a kind of floor oven. The body of the oven is made of bricks and is about one meter square. The furnace wall is braised and roasted. Because of the need to use a dark fire, it requires high technology. The person in charge of the furnace must control the temperature in the furnace. If the temperature is too high, the duck will be burnt, otherwise it will not be cooked. The skin of the roast duck is oily and crispy, the meat is white, tender and delicious,” Jiang Hui said.

"Forget it, you better not talk about it, you can talk about it after the roast duck is served, otherwise I feel like sitting here watching others eat it, and hearing you say it's so delicious, my saliva will flow out," Bai Xue said .

"Haha, I'm also very hungry, I'll eat the roast duck first, then you," Jiang Hui said with a smirk.

"Why are you not shy at all, there is someone sitting next to you," Bai Xue glanced around and whispered to Jiang Hui.

"Let's not go shopping after dinner, let's go back to the rental house and watch a movie," Jiang Hui said.

"No, don't you have someone on duty every day responsible for website maintenance?" Bai Xue said.

"Then let's find a hotel nearby to stay, and we can get up early tomorrow morning to watch the flag-raising ceremony," Jiang Hui said.

"Would you like to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony? Well, I've always wanted to go to see it, but I heard that the flag-raising ceremony starts at four or five o'clock, so you have to get up very early," Bai Xue said.

"It's summer at four or five o'clock, and the time of the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square is different every day. The time of raising the flag is the same as the time of the sun rising every day. The time of the sun rising and setting is different throughout the year. The times of rising and falling are also different. The national anthem will be played when the upper edge of the sun is tangent to the horizon, and then when the lower edge of the sun is tangent to the earth, the national flag will rise to the top, which is said to be exactly Two minutes and seven seconds. The flag will be hoisted at about 07:30 tomorrow, so we can just get up normally,” Jiang Hui said.

"That's great, let's go see it tomorrow," Bai Xue said.

While the two were talking, the roast duck had already been served, and Jiang Hui naturally helped Bai Xue pick up vegetables, roll the duck skin, etc. Bai Xue looked happy, and helped Jiang Hui pick up some dishes from time to time.

"This Bianyifang roast duck is delicious, it seems that it is better if it is famous," Bai Xue said.

"Bianyifang's braised oven roasting method is relatively difficult. Now other small roast duck restaurants basically use Quanjude's hanging oven roasting method, so when they mention roast ducks, they always compare themselves with Quanjude. It’s done better, so people outside the imperial capital basically only know that there is Quanjude, and they don’t know that there is Bianyifang,” Jiang Hui said.

The two chatted while eating, and it was past nine o'clock when they finished eating.Jiang Hui took Bai Xue to a nearby hotel after paying the bill.
