Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 397 A Message

"Well said, Ning Wei, your fat brother loves you for a reason. Let's go out for roast duck later. Fat brother will treat you!"

When Fatty Fan heard that Xiao Ningwei was so sensible, he couldn't help but feel happy and said happily.

Ning Yuan made a fuss with the two of them for a while before sitting down quietly again.

"What's up? Shall we go out for a drink at noon?"

Ning Yuan saw that it was almost noon, but his parents had not returned yet. He thought about going out for dinner with Meng Qing and her family.

So there is nothing to consider. After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Yuemin and Fatty Fan.

"Let's go! Xinqiao or Donglaishun?"

Fatty Fan nodded and asked Ning Yuan and the others tentatively.

"Hey, Fatty, didn't you just say you'd treat me to roast duck? Let's go straight to Quanjude!"

Ning Wei had been thinking about the roast duck ever since Fatty Fan finished speaking, so when he heard Fatty Fan mention it, he quickly reminded him.

Zhong Yuemin and Ning Yuan saw through it but didn't say anything. They stared at Fatty Fan with a happy expression on their faces.

This guy gave me two choices right away: Xinqiao or Donglaishun. He just didn't want to go to Quanjude because he was afraid he would have to pay for it himself.

This stingy guy, no, I have to kill him today.

Zhong Yuemin immediately spoke up and responded to Xiao Ningwei.

"That's right, Fatty just said that he will pay for the roast duck we're going out to eat! We have to make Fatty keep his word!"

"Of course. Our Fatty is a man of his word, and he always sticks to his words!"

Ning Yuan also took the opportunity to compliment him, and now Fatty Fan was in a difficult position and couldn't get down.

After hearing this, Fatty Fan accepted his fate and said helplessly after waving his hand.

"Okay, okay, okay! Don't try this on me, buddy. I'll treat you all, okay? Let's go to Quanjude!"

"Hey, okay, let's go!"

Zhong Yuemin patted the fat man's back happily.

Ning Yuan also patted little Ning Wei and reminded him.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and thank Fatty!"

"Hey, thank you Fatty! Hehe!"

Ning Wei reacted faster and thanked Fatty Fan before Ning Yuan finished speaking.

After the four people left the yard, they rode their bicycles straight to Qianmen Street.

At that time, Quanjude had not yet opened any branches.

There is only one such store in the entire city.

Since its opening in 1864, it has a history of over a hundred years.

Quanjude was founded in the late Qing Dynasty and became famous in the Republic of China. It once became a major store in the old city.

Those old people and young people have spent a lot of money in Quanjude.

What's the point? Isn't it just a reputation?

At that time, eating a meal of Quanjude roast duck was the real deal!

It was not until recent years that Quanjude brought down the price of its once sky-high roast duck.

After all, this is not the Republic of China anymore, the people are in charge!

The whole duck banquet and more than 300 special dishes developed by Quanjude have also made them appear on the state banquet table many times.

Ningyuan and his brothers are no strangers to Quanjude.

I had eaten here several times before going to the countryside, but to be honest, thanks to the attention of the general manager, even though Quanjude has lowered its prices, it is still not affordable for ordinary people.

As soon as Ning Yuan and his friends entered Quanjude, they were taken to the second floor by the waiter.

Fatty Fan sat down on the chair with his arms and legs spread out, and started ordering food right away.

"Come on, comrade, first order our signature roast duck, and then order the salted duck liver, roasted duck heart, crab, sea cucumber mapo tofu, and green pepper duck intestines!"

After the fat man finished speaking, he looked at Ning Yuan and the others.

Zhong Yuemin was not going to be polite with the fat man, and continued to speak.

"Sweet and sour spare ribs, secret braised pork, and the steamed yellow croaker with shallot sauce, too!"

"Wait, wait, another serving of pea yellow!"

Xiao Ningwei also seized the opportunity and called out to the waiter who was about to leave.

Ning Yuan didn't order anything, but what they ordered was enough for several of them.

I won’t mention the side dishes like duck liver, duck heart, green pepper and duck intestines.

Just talking about these dishes, it shows that the cooking skills are quite good.

Needless to say, the signature roast duck is almost the signature of Quanjude.

The technique of roasting duck in hanging oven is very mature. Each roasted duck is golden in color, with crispy skin, and the meat inside is extremely tender. Coupled with the unique fruity wood aroma, it makes people salivate.

Wrap two slices of roast duck in the roll, sprinkle with chopped green onions and cucumber strips, dip in sweet noodle sauce, roll it up and put it directly into your mouth.

One bite and the taste is rich and delicious beyond words.

The crab stew is also a classic dish here. The crab stew here is made with crab meat, and is added with egg, ginger and vinegar sauce. It has a rich aroma and excellent taste.

Sweet and sour spare ribs and braised pork are also common dishes. They are also regular dishes in Xinqiao Restaurant.

But the steamed yellow croaker with shallot sauce that Zhong Yuemin just ordered was not simple.

The yellow croakers here are all weighing more than one kilogram as the main dish.

Heat oil and stir-fry onions, then prepare the sauce as a base. Then cut the yellow croaker into pieces to remove the fishy smell, add the prepared sauce and onion juice, and steam until cooked.

The dish is ready when the sauce is well-seasoned.

This is also a rare delicacy.

When the dishes they ordered were served one after another, the brothers picked up their chopsticks and started eating without hesitation.

Well, it wasn’t a waste. In just over half an hour, they had cleared all the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.

Fatty Fan patted his belly and burped comfortably while sitting in a chair.

The images of Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin, Xiao Ning Wei and the others were not much better, they all looked like this.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhong Yuemin kicked Fatty Fan and said.

"Mani Fatty? Go and pay the bill!"

Fatty Fan finally came to his senses, walked slowly to the counter and paid for the meal.

After leaving Quanjude, Ning Yuan and his friends were just about to return to Courtyard No. 2 in Shen District when they saw a few guys running towards them.

Ning Yuan first took a half step back vigilantly. Zhong Yuemin, Fatty Fan and the others also reacted immediately. They became alert and looked at those guys.

After Ning Wei carefully identified it, he laughed and told Ning Yuan and the others not to worry.

The ones who came over were Hong Dingzhong and his gang.

Ning Wei went forward and asked as he looked at Hong Dingzhong and the others who were jogging over.

"What's wrong, buddies? What are you rushing about?"

After Hong Dingzhong took a breath, he looked at Ning Wei, Ning Yuan and the others and said.

"Ning Wei, Brother Yuan, I just received news that the grandson of the Zhu family is looking for someone to take action against you!"
