Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 91 Toasted Roast Duck Dessert
The environment in the restaurant is good, although it's not yet six o'clock, but because of their own grades, and the relationship between the two festivals, there are almost no vacant tables.The waiter who led the way said that Jiang Ling and the others were lucky, because someone left their seat temporarily, and Jiang Ling just caught up, otherwise there would be no seat.

Yuan Dandan was amazed, but Jiang Ling and Dongming looked at each other. Jiang Ling sighed inwardly, and then smiled at Yuan Dandan.Dongming was normal and didn't respond.

When I entered the restaurant at night, Dongming was still wearing sunglasses, which was weird.Yuan Dandan looked at Dongming several times, and finally couldn't help but say it.Dongming didn't say anything after hearing this, but pressed and twisted the end of the frame, and the "sunglasses" immediately shrank and turned into brown glasses.It's just that the brown color is darker, and there is no essential difference from sunglasses.

Alien goods!Yuan Dandan sighed in surprise, then said regretfully, "Are you short-sighted too?"

Dongming made a helpless expression.Jiang Ling smiled and started another topic.She knew that what Dongming was wearing was not "sunglasses". That thing could change the appearance color, the size of the lens, the fixing method of the frame, and the transparency should also be changed.When Dongming and Yekonglan played against each other on the playground yesterday, the frame stretched to the back of his head and clenched it.As for the detailed functions... that is a military parameter, right?
……

The kitchen here is open and open.Any table can reach the kitchen within three or four meters.The three watched the glowing red oven for a while through the glass curtain wall, looked at the busy chefs for a while, and listened to the bustle of the spatulas for a while, and then the roast duck was pushed up.

But just at this moment, a middle-aged man came over with a glass of white wine.This man is not tall, only a little over 1.7 meters, very strong; his waist is straight and thick, but it is covered by clothes... I really can't find his beer belly!
He walked directly to Jiang Ling, without asking his name or introducing himself, and said, "That song just now sang well. Come, let me toast you!"

Jiang Ling was impulsive. At that time, someone who parked the car knew her and she didn't care, but now she has returned to normal.And because this person was sincere and free from distracting thoughts, Jiang Ling was immediately blushed: "I, I... I don't know how to drink!" Standing up in a hurry, he filled his glass and raised it.

As a result, the middle-aged man's eyes must have been stunned; Jiang Ling followed his gaze and found that he was holding a big glass of orange juice - after drinking it, he didn't need to eat roast duck!

The middle-aged man laughed, and said generously, "You can do whatever you want."

At this time, Dongming had already filled the goblet with wine, which was at the same level as the glass rim; he raised his glass steadily and stood up, the magnificent red wine could not be rippled: "Shall I replace her?"

The middle-aged man had already stuffed himself with wine, lit his glass, looked at Dongming, nodded without saying anything.

Dongming also learned to hold back the wine.He was imitating, so he took a goblet deeply and didn't change it in one breath.

Jiang Ling was so embarrassed, she also took a sip of the fruit juice and got bored.This glass may be said to be big, but in fact it has a different shape and is larger than a wine glass.Jiang Ling's lung capacity is much better now than before, and he will continue to work without taking a breath.

Then Jiang Ling felt a swell in his stomach, and then that weird creeping sensation came again.Judging from what was taught in the middle school biology class, that is... the sugar and water are absorbed a little, and the rest of the juice is quickly discharged into the small intestine? !

As a result, the middle-aged man was surprised and happy, and nodded heavily again. He offered empty cups to Jiang Ling and Dongming respectively, and also nodded slightly to Yuan Dandan, and then went back.

Whether it's wine or orange juice, that's not how you drink it.But the two of them were happy and neat, it didn't matter what they drank, what mattered was how they drank.For this point, no matter how fastidious people are, they are impeccable.Without mentioning the gazes of the tables next to him, Yuan Dandan stared at him with stars in his eyes. He pinched Jiang Ling and screamed in a low voice: "Watch closely, watch closely! If you don't want me, I will do it!"

Jiang Ling: "..."

*********
The person toasting left, Jiang Ling asked for a glass of mineral water, took a few sips slowly, and got rid of the sweet taste of the orange juice, ready to enjoy delicious food.But what's the drink called again?Juices are sweet and sour, this glass of orange juice is really enough tonight!

So Jiang Ling worried about the drinks on the menu, flipped through them for a while, but couldn't order them.

Yuan Dandan ordered the cocktail himself, a Chinese-style cocktail——Hua Diao Hua Mei with lime juice, so he recommended Jiang Ling to come here too.

Jiang Ling was a little moved, but she habitually said: "I don't know how to drink."

Dongming interjected, "You should be able to drink a little."

Jiang Lingqi - can you see this? !

Dongming stretched out three fingers towards Jiang Ling under the table: "One more gear, the influence of alcohol will be even smaller."

Jiang Ling was speechless.Well, it was just a meal of roast duck, but I went to someone else's professional field again!
Yuan Dandan didn't understand, but Dongming was on her side anyway, so he continued to encourage Jiang Ling: "Then have some, it's just a cocktail anyway!"

Jiang Ling paused for a moment, looked at Yuan Dandan and Dongming, and ordered another cocktail - Moutai mixed with Sprite.

The cocktail came very quickly, Jiang Ling took it and smelled it, sipped it lightly, and thought it was not bad.The aroma of the wine is still strong, with a little more sweetness in the mouth.

Yuan Dandan was worried instead: "Will Moutai be too powerful? I'll serve you even when you're drunk!" By the way, he glanced at Dongming—this kid must not be taken advantage of!
Jiang Ling smiled, raised his glass and gave a little respect to the two: "No. I sometimes drink a little at home."

Dongming nodded, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.Yuan Dandan didn't understand: "Hey, you've started drinking too!"

Jiang Ling smiled without saying a word or explaining, and the three of them concentrated on watching the chef slice the duck.

Jiang Ling didn't drink alcohol when he was out, not so much because he didn't drink enough, but because he didn't socialize.It's about the family atmosphere.Old-fashioned scholars are relatively jerky in social entertainment, and generally not very flexible.Jiang Ling's grandfather had an accident that year, and it was also related to several people who had been friends with him.

Indeed, they were also terrified and threatened by the entire era; but there are some things that cannot be undone.

Hu Haiyan lost her father when she was young, and she has experienced the cruelty of the world since she was a child. She is cautious about the environment and people, and has never been keen on socializing.So Jiang Ling obeyed her mother's wishes and was a guest outside, always reserved and self-controlled, not drinking at all; until college and work, she was still like this...

When she was young, it was because she was well-behaved and obedient, but when she grew up, it was because Jiang Ling understood that it was a mother's selfishness, a kind of protection and rejection.Protect her daughter from the ambiguous entertainments in this feasting society, and refuse to let her eat and drink at the same table with so-called friends who have shallow acquaintances.

Today, Jiang Ling picked up the wine glass, not only because the two present are friends, but also because Jiang Ling knows that she has gone too far, far beyond her parents' imagination.As Lu Lin said, she walks her own way.And on this road, nothing is the worst...

—except alone.

*********
The duck slices are ready, and the toppings are already waiting.The two girls first tried the way of eating in the deep boudoir of the mansion gate, the ladies and gentlemen—they didn’t touch the onion or garlic, just dipped the crispy and crispy duck skin in fine white sugar, and then put it into their mouths.

The crispy duck skin melts on the tongue like sugar...

This is so refined to the point of luxury!

The duck was perfectly roasted, the skin on the breast of the duck melted in your mouth and there was no scum.Jiang Ling felt good about this, but she didn't respond much, because many of the seafood in the East China Sea were so fresh that they could melt her tongue together, and her sense of taste was cultivated since she was a child.

But Yuan Dandan is different.She is an expert in eating spicy food, following her is the real guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food!But this delicate and delicate taste was new to Yuan Dandan, so her eyes lit up immediately.

Dongming also tried it, looked at the few slices of duck breast skin on the plate, and turned to look at the roast duck that the chef was still slicing.

Jiang Ling didn't like the taste, but Yuan Dandan couldn't resist the long aftertaste.So Jiang Ling put the fifth piece into his mouth, and Yuan Dandan only tasted two pieces.Yuan Dandan glanced at the plate and Jiang Ling, and deliberately whispered intimidatingly: "Hey, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

Jiang Ling was sipping some wine, when she heard this she smirked at Yuan Dandan: "I feel like I've lost a lot of weight recently."

Yuan Dandan: "..."

Jiang Ling was telling the truth.Faster response and greater strength are based on burning more calories.What's more, in the past half month, she was under a lot of pressure, and she was busy like a spinning top all day long.Even so, Jiang Ling slowed down.She took another slice of the rest, and the rest belonged to Yuan Dandan.

……

The back slices are mainly duck meat, and each slice is with skin.Dongming just ate roasted whole lamb last night, and he didn't need anyone to demonstrate, so he drew a gourd and wrapped roast duck in the same way.A piece of lotus leaf cake, spread a little sweet noodle sauce on it, put a few shredded green onions, and can also be served with light green cucumber sticks and purple red radish sticks.

I have tasted these two flavors with a lighter taste, and another with a stronger and more choking taste, that is, wrapped in mashed garlic.Garlic can also be eaten directly, just like soy sauce.These actually depend on each person's own preferences, nothing else.It's just a matter of tasting things, from light to strong, with a keen sense of taste, without compromising the deliciousness.

The last special side dish is hollow biscuits.There are sesame seeds on the biscuits, one side is cut, and the inside is empty for people to fill with duck meat, sweet noodle sauce and shredded green onions.It is said that rich people in the late Qing Dynasty liked to dig out the noodles inside and use them to wipe the oil on their mouths.Later, Premier Zhou made suggestions, and the chefs changed the production process, and the hollow biscuits they made did not have the dough.

When the chef of Pianya told the allusion, Yuan Dandan glanced at Jiangling and Dongming, and immediately sighed insinuatingly: "Hey, I have worshiped the Prime Minister since I was a child, and even more when I grow up—it can't be helped, what a good man these days. Fewer and fewer!"

Jiang Ling laughed, and deliberately said: "Who knows, maybe those people wiped their mouths with doughnuts and fed the pugs. Don't they still buy canned food for pets now?"

Yuan Dandan actually listened to it: "That's right! Throw it away without saying take it out, huh?"

The master of the piece of duck was wearing a white tall hat and a white mask, but he was estimated to be in his forties, and was immediately confused by the conclusion of the two little girls.

Dongming listened and wrapped each one differently. He put them on his plate and tasted them one by one.

Yuan Dandan couldn't help laughing at first, but when half of the ducks disappeared in Dongming's place, Yuan Dandan stopped laughing and suddenly realized, while Dongming was concentrating on eating, he touched Jiang Ling and said softly, "I know why he has more money than you." money."

Jiang Ling just wrapped a lotus leaf cake: "What?" Take a bite.

Yuan Dandan sighed: "He has such a good appetite, how can he support himself if he doesn't earn more money?!"

Jiang Ling: "..."

*********
Dongming concentrates on eating ducks.Jiang Ling knows his professional relationship, so he will not be picky about what he eats, but considering Yuan Dandan, Jiang Ling ordered three other dishes before, spinach with sesame sauce, eggplant with old vinegar, and cabbage with saffron and chestnuts, for a change of taste.

But for the three of them, one roast duck with side dishes is not too much; adding three more is really hearty.It will be completely resolved, all because of Dongming's tireless work.As a result, Jiang Ling looked worried: "Is it enough? Grilled prawns with foie gras are also good."

Dongming shook his head: "Enough."

The final dish of the roast duck is duck soup in bamboo tube.The soup is not milky and rich, it looks refreshing and clear, and it looks like a broth.However, as soon as you take it in, the taste is bland and thin, and Yuan Dandan thinks that it is "almost like Qingshui baby food".

Yuan Dandan was quite disappointed by this, but it was not resentful or sad. He just lamented helplessly: "The restaurants now... don't care about the east, west, north, south, and middle! Who would work hard and spend a few hours a day or two to cook a pot slowly? Good soup?"

Jiang Ling teased Yuan Dandan: "Yeah, those guys back then were idiots, how did they know that they could take you down immediately with just a pot of soup."

Yuan Dandan glared, and was about to fight back when the desserts came up, she was agitated and let it go when she saw something good again.

This last dessert redeemed points for the previous soup—the first is two pairs of ice cream balls, Wuliangye and sesame, green tea and corn.Secondly, the sago dew in a small bowl.Again golden creme brulee with a sprig of popcorn growing on top.Next to a basket of snow-white spring rolls, served with lavender sauce.

There are another pair of chocolate towers and a vanilla mousse: two are dark brown, with snow-white tops; one is snow-white, with black and red berries on top.There are also chocolate walnut balls rolled in frosting, brown and black, different colors and different tastes.

The last bowl of mixed fruit, pear pineapple strawberry, orange kumquat cantaloupe, each piece is different.

Jiang Ling was already two or three minutes full, and just ate dessert, choosing Wuliangye and sesame ice cream.

Yuan Dandan took a deep breath, and his stomach was empty again. He took the creme brulee, but didn't eat it, and tried a spring roll first.

Dongming looked at the two of them, and wisely did not move. When the two started, he served green tea and corn to try.

Yuan Dandan was full of praise for the desserts, and Jiang Ling liked them too.Dongming finished his ice cream and tasted a chocolate tart.Another tower with vanilla mousse was announced by Yuan Dandan to take away.Jiang Ling had enough for herself, but she knew that Dongming might still be able to eat.But Dongming didn't say anything, and weighed a brown chocolate walnut ball.

Yuan Dandan ate this meal to his heart's content and was very happy, and he praised Dongming's desserts--after eating a good meal, of course he should praise him, praise him hard!At the end of the compliment, Yuan Dandan asked, "What do you think?"

Dongming kept listening, but he didn't expect to express his opinion. He was startled, and immediately said: "It's very hot."

Jiang Ling secretly wiped his sweat: "That is, that is."

Yuan Dandan was speechless for a moment, and while Dongming was asking the waiter to swipe his card, he sneaked into Jiang Ling's ear: "This... about feelings, as long as you like it."

Jiang Ling was surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Dandan regretted: "This guy has no sentimentality...he has no sense." Then he was a little puzzled: "Is it still humorous?"

Jiang Ling was speechless.More than one less muscle!

Yuan Dandan had already changed his mind, patted Jiang Ling and comforted him: "It's good that he is willing to eat with you, no one is perfect!"

Jiang Ling: "..."

——Hey, hey, I'm treating you, okay? !
