Chapter 285 Unwilling
"Hey, the duck that has just been baked can smell the fragrance from afar, and it looks delicious. Thank you, brother, let it go." Hong Xiaoduo smiled. He said, motioning to put it on the table.
This, you just won’t let me? The waiter understood and neatly placed the roast duck in his hand in the middle of the table: "The dishes are here for both of you. Take it easy. If you have any orders, just say hello." After that, he turned around and left.
Hong Xiaoduo was also surprised by the waiter's reaction. She had just seen the man coming down the stairs who wanted to give up the food.
Brother Quan once said that this restaurant is on the third floor. Most of the guests are in the lobby downstairs. Those who go to the private rooms on the second floor have higher status. Either a rich man, or a powerful official.
The guests who can dine in the private rooms on the third floor are basically members of the royal family.
It’s not that high-ranking officials are not qualified to go to the third floor, but that they actually don’t dare to go. They can afford the private rooms on the third floor, but they are also afraid of being too ostentatious and being taken advantage of by someone with intentions. , talking about corruption or something.
So, it stands to reason that the waiter just now should have persuaded me to give this person this dish, which is normal, but it didn't happen.
The middle-aged man standing aside didn't seem to expect that things would turn out like this. He really didn't expect that Hong Xiaoduo would refuse and wanted to leave, but he found that the diners on both sides were looking at him. .
He frowned and glanced at Hong Xiaoduo. Just as he was about to speak, the person at the counter came over.
"Manager Chen, the steamed duck in our restaurant is actually quite good. Your master has also eaten it. Since we have distinguished guests, why not switch to steamed duck?" The person who came said to the man with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Liu, the distinguished guest my master entertained just wants to try the oven-roasted duck in your restaurant. Why don't you talk to this little lady and switch her to steamed duck?" The man did not smile. .
Looking at the fifty-year-old shopkeeper Liu, he looked at Hong Xiaoduo and asked with a smile: "Little lady, are you willing to change the dishes?"
At this time, the guests at several tables nearby, They all looked this way.
Some are worried and some are watching the fun.
Hong Xiaoduo glanced around, and finally landed on the hanging duck on the table; "No, we came to your restaurant for this dish. We ordered it by luck, why? Want to switch to someone else? ”
After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and, under the gaze of a group of people, stretched out his hand to pull off a duck leg and handed it to Kaiyang opposite: "Here, eat it while it's hot."
Kaiyang stretched out his hand I took the duck leg and took a bite immediately.
"How does it taste?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with a smile.
Kaiyang had a big mouthful of duck leg meat in his mouth. He couldn't answer, so he nodded vigorously. He didn't lie. The duck meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin looked brown and oily, and it was delicious in the mouth. But it didn't feel greasy at all.
I don’t know why, he was obviously a little nervous and worried just now, but now seeing the behavior of the person opposite him who never suffered any loss, the angry look of the steward next to him, and the various reactions of the diners around him, Kaiyang suddenly Just want to laugh.
"Where do you come from, a woman, and how can you be so ignorant? Do you know who my master is?" Manager Chen couldn't help but whisper.
After Hong Xiaoduo glanced at the other person, he reached out and pulled off a duck leg before looking at the man again and said: "Don't worry about where I come from. I'm not interested in knowing who your master is.< br>
No matter who he is, he has no right to compete with others for a dish, right?
Also, I think you are the one who is ungrateful, right? A great person, but why would he use someone like you as a manager?
Do you use your identity as the master of your household to show off when you are away from home? Aren't you afraid of ruining your master's reputation? "After that, under the annoyed gaze of the other party, he brought the duck leg in his hand to his mouth, took a slow bite, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Shopkeeper Liu on the side looked at Hong. Xiaoduo was very surprised. She suppressed a smile and said to the man: "Manager Chen, hurry up and ask your master if the duck is steamed or smoked?" When Manager Chen heard this, he didn't say anything to Shopkeeper Liu, but he looked at Hong Xiaoduo fiercely and said, "You are a sharp-tongued little girl, so eat well." "After that, he turned around and walked towards the second floor.
Shopkeeper Liu also smiled at Hong Xiaoduo, turned back to the counter.
Those who looked around The diners continued to eat and drink, but the topic of conversation was brought to Hong Xiaoduo's table.
Those who speculated about her and Kaiyang's identities felt that those who dared to refuse like this and quarrel with Manager Chen must also have a backer.
Some people say that judging from her dress, she is from Jianghu. Maybe she is new to the capital and does not understand these things without fear.
Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang could vaguely hear these words, but they didn't care at all. They each had a roast duck leg in their hands, and they ate it deliciously.
"I should ask my second brother to taste it too, and he will think about it and make it." Kaiyang thought about it and said.
Hong Xiaoduo shook his head after hearing this: "This is not easy to figure out. After the duck is slaughtered, what seasoning should be used to marinate it? The marinating time, the hanging roasting requires a special stove, and the temperature. It all depends on what kind of carbon you use." After that, he took a sip of pomegranate wine.
I dried the duck legs in my hands, wiped my hands with the wet handkerchief on the table, and tasted a few other dishes, they were all pretty good.
The first restaurant in the capital indeed lives up to its reputation.
"Have you heard that Mr. Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has found his grandson, and it turns out he is still alive."
"I have also heard that it seems that tomorrow, they Wei When the clan leader arrived, he officially recognized his ancestors and entered the family tree. "
"Why should he be included in the family tree if he wasn't already born?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you tell me that the accident was over? It will be marked on the genealogy. Now that the child is alive, he will naturally be added to the genealogy again."
"Hey, Master Wei is really It’s not easy for a good official who works for our people with integrity to have such a thing happen to him. At that time, everyone speculated that the corrupt officials he offended had paid to kidnap the child and killed him.”
"Yes, I heard that several of Mr. Wei's sworn enemies ridiculed him in person several times. They didn't know how to behave, and they suffered retribution. Now it's better, God has opened his eyes, and the child has been found."
>
The discussion around them was very clear. Hong Xiaoduo noticed that Kaiyang also listened to it. He was eating the food with his eyes down, but he was probably not calm in his heart and was fighting with himself.
For this lunch, even if Kaiyang didn't hear those words, the two of them couldn't finish all the food on the table.
This is also the first time, there is no CD, and it is not packed away.
After paying the money and walking out of the restaurant, the two continued shopping. Hong Xiaoduo looked at the sullen and worried Xiao Kaiyang, but felt that the child's mood had actually changed. It seemed that , I have already made a decision in my heart.
"Tomorrow, are they going to recognize the fake Tong'er as originally planned? Or, should they recognize me tomorrow?" Kaiyang looked at Hong Xiaoduo and asked after seeing that there were no pedestrians around him.
“They didn’t tell me this, so I don’t know, but I guess they are waiting for your response before making a decision.
Kaiyang, I know this is too sudden for you, so they don’t want to force you, and I don’t want to force you. You decide what to do..."
I finally finished coding the second chapter. Good night and sweet dreams, everyone! (^_-)
