Chapter 484: Real-life version of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst
Shopping with someone is a skill, and going shopping with a woman is even more skillful. Jiang Feng had previously summarized a few words of motto about the art of shopping together. As for what these mottos were, Jiang Feng himself couldn't quite remember.
Originally, Jiang Feng went shopping with Wu Minqi and Ji Xia. Most of the places he visited were clothing stores, boutiques, or some miscellaneous shops selling unknown gadgets that he was not interested in.
Today is different. Today I visit all the shops selling food.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Zaide accompanied the three young girls as they walked and ate wherever they went. The donkey was rolling, the candy was not thrown away, and there were all kinds of sesame cakes, candied haws, and various preserved fruits. He went in empty-handed and came out fully loaded, so that Jiang Feng didn't feel hungry even at meal time.
When a group of 5 people arrived at Babao Zhai at around 12 o'clock, the group of 5 people were carrying large and small bags, making the waiter think that they were out shopping for New Year's goods and stopping by for dinner.
Because there were only five people in Jiang Feng's group, the waiter led them to a table that could seat six people. Jiang Zaide knew at a glance that the table was too small to hold food. He turned to the waiter who was leading the way and said, "This table is too small. Give us a round table."
As soon as the waiter took off his hat, scarf, mask and earmuffs, revealing Jiang Zaide's round face that was most popular among restaurant owners, he immediately turned around and led them to a small round table.
"Here are the menus." The waiter handed Jiang Feng and the others two menus and waited beside them with the ordering machine.
"Do you have any dish recommendations?" Jiang Feng asked.
The waiter heard that Jiang Feng's accent was a standard southern accent, so he thought he came from out of town to play BJ, and said, "Are you from out of town? If I want to try the specialties here in Beiping, I recommend fried green onions. Sea cucumber, Braised Pork Family Portrait, Quality Fruit Roast Duck, Jar Pork, Beijing Sauce Shredded Pork, Roast Leg of Lamb, Mustard duck feet. If you want something vegetarian, our store's refreshing crispy bamboo shoots, oyster sauce lettuce, iron plate sauce with fresh mushrooms and fried cabbage balls with pork belly were all very good. Some time ago, we had a guest from the south. Dim sum chef, dim sum is very popular, you can order more if you are interested.”
The waiter rattled off a long list of dish names, leaving Jiang Feng stunned for a moment.
"Then let's have some roasted lamb legs, mustard duck feet, jar meat, and roasted lamb chops? If so, I'll have one too." Jiang Zaide opened his mouth and ordered four meat dishes, then turned to look at Ji Xia, "Xia Xia Do you want to eat roast duck? ”
"Think!" Ji Xia was extremely excited.
"Then let's have another high-quality roast duck. What other dishes do you want to order, little brother?" Jiang Zaide looked at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment, quickly sifted through the messages Ling Guangzhao sent to the chef group and Moments yesterday, and asked: "Are there any steamed buns with distiller's grains today?"
"Yes, the steamed buns with lees lees are the new product just served today." The waiter nodded.
"Then let's have some steamed buns with distiller's grains." Jiang Feng said.
"Another big bottle of Coke, iced." Jiang Zaide said.
After the waiter left, Jiang Zaide couldn't help but ask Jiang Feng: "Brother, why are you ordering steamed buns with distiller's grains? Doesn't grandpa know how to make them? If you want to eat them, just go home during the Chinese New Year and ask grandpa to cook them for you. Grandpa's cooking will definitely be better than here. It’s delicious.”
"Yesterday Ling Guangzhao was in the WeChat group and in the circle of friends, he was talking about their store's distiller's lees steamed buns. I just wanted to try how it tastes." Jiang Feng explained and began to look at the decoration of Babao Zhai.
To be fair, the decoration of Babaozhai is very particular. Everything as small as the flower pots and vases placed on the cabinet window sill, the tables, chairs and benches, the chandeliers on the ceiling, the stair handrails and the door are all harmonious, making people feel that this is an old store with a rich heritage as soon as they walk in.
This was Jiang Feng's first time coming to Babao Zhai. After looking around, he couldn't see anything on this floor that looked like a place that used to sell snacks. He couldn't help but ask, "Miss He, Babao Zhai has been renovated over the years." ”
He Yueru was originally focused on eating the melon seeds brought by the waiter. When Jiang Feng asked, she raised her head and looked around, and affirmed: "It hasn't been touched. It was almost the same before."
"It's just that the tables have changed. I remember when I was a kid, the tables on the first floor of Babao Zhai were all the small, boxy square tables in my store. Only the second floor has the big round tables." After saying that, He Yueru pointed the direction to Jiang Feng. , "Originally, the snacks were placed over there, and there was a long row of glass windows where they were kept. Behind them, the master was making big ones. You can see it everywhere. If you want to eat, go to the door to buy the corresponding ticket and get something with the ticket. Not only are there snacks, but there are also soups, porridge, noodles and so on. The original fried noodles in Babao Zhai are delicious. , the current ones are far behind. I ate there once last month. Although it wasn’t bad, it was too expensive.”
"Then that place is by the window. Originally, the window was open, and it was also a small glass window. It specializes in selling some very cheap snacks, such as shortbread and so on. They sell whatever is in season."

Judging from He Yueru's tone, she missed the Babaozhai when she was a child.
"Did you often come here to eat when you were a child?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Yes, when I was young, my mother thought I was too fat and wouldn't let me eat huoshao at home every morning, so she gave me some money to buy some steamed buns, shaomai or something else to eat. At that time, I had breakfast once every two days. After saving enough money for two days, I go to the first floor of Babao Zhai to have breakfast. Many students in our class do this. If there is still money left, they go to the small window to buy shortcakes after school in the afternoon. .
Jiang Feng nodded as if he understood something. It’s no wonder that Babao Zhai has been worse and worse in recent years, with almost all the old chefs gone. However, it can still maintain its position as one of the Four Emperors of Peking’s catering industry, unlike Huangji Restaurant. Because Master Huang retired quickly when he was old and retired.
As long as there are people like He Yueru who grew up in Beiping City and were filled with Babao Zhai throughout their childhood, the status of Babao Zhai will not change.
If Ling Guangzhao's luck is better and he can dig out a few more hidden masters like Zheng Siyuan from other places, it will be just around the corner to revive Babaozhai.
The villain's script can turn into the protagonist's script in an instant. At that time, the only person holding the villain's script will be Babao Zhai's biggest enemy - Jiang... ahem.
The roast duck is ready-made and is ready to be sliced and served just waiting for customers to order. As soon as He Yueru started talking to Jiang Zaide about the details of their shop decoration, the waiter brought the roast duck.
Pure duck skin, pure duck meat, belt meat, lotus leaf pancake, shredded onion, cucumber strips and other sauces to accompany the roast duck, filling three large plates.
Since the food is on the table, you have to eat it first, and you can put the matter aside and talk about it later. Everyone here has eaten roast duck from many famous restaurants. Although this is the first time to eat roast duck from Babaozhai, it will not be as fresh and amazing as the first time when I ate roast duck in Peking.
"Brother De, do you think the roast duck from Babao Zhai is not as delicious as the one from Yongheju?" Jiang Feng felt a little full as soon as he finished eating one of the rolls and stopped eating.
Wu Minqi only picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in some sugar and stopped using her chopsticks.
"It's not as delicious as Yongheju's." Jiang Zaide nodded and put another piece of duck meat into his mouth. "Maybe the skin is not good enough. I think the meat is almost the same."
"Maybe Master Pianya is different." Jiang Feng made a random guess. He has a specialization in the art, and he doesn't understand roast duck.
"It's not the lotus leaf cake." He Yueru said, "I can't tell you which store in Beiping City has the best roast duck. Some stores have good duck-slicing chefs, and some have good duck-stuffing chefs. I don't know which store has the best roast duck. I haven’t eaten much, so I don’t have much say. But if you want to say which store has the best lotus leaf cake, it must be Yongheju’s!”
"Lotus leaf cake?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Yes, it's lotus leaf cake. In fact, the lotus leaf cake of Babao Zhai was also very delicious in the past, but for some reason in the past few years, it has become more and more unpalatable. It's no different from the ones sold at street stalls. "Yes." He Yueru said, "But I can't tell you specifically what is good. I don't know how to do this. I remember when I was in junior high school. My mother still thought I was fat and refused to give me pocket money for fear that I would buy random things to eat outside. At that time, the lotus leaf cakes in Yongheju were sold individually for 5 yuan each, which was a lot at that time. I always want to eat roast duck, so I go to Yonghe Bureau to buy lotus leaf pancakes, and I go home and eat them by dipping green onions and cucumbers into sweet noodle sauce.”
"It's a pity that Yongheju no longer only sells lotus leaf cakes. Some restaurants specializing in roast duck also sell lotus leaf cakes. However, their lotus leaf cakes are expensive and not as delicious as those in Yongheju." Listening to He Yueru's tone, she also I really miss the time when I used lotus leaf pancakes to roll cucumber shreds and green onions.
Jiang Feng & Jiang Zaide & Wu Minqi & Ji Xia:? ? ?
This operation is wonderful. It is a real-life version of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst and drawing cakes to satisfy hunger.
He Yueru's figure is quite fat. (End of chapter)
