Yang Fan took Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru, hurriedly changed into common people's clothes, took Zhang Cheng and a few guards, and ran to the Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant east of the Drum Tower.
It's very close here. Just walk a little way north after exiting Yandai Xiejie. It's on the north side of Gulou East Street.
When Yang Fan arrived, he saw a very grand restaurant with three floors.
The front is seven rooms wide, and they are all pavilions with double eaves and brackets. Yang Fan felt a little bit in his heart, thinking that the scale would not exceed the limit.
Looking at Yang Fan's expression, Xiao Niangpi knew what he was thinking, so she pointed at the plaque with her little hand and said, "Look, sir, this plaque was inscribed by Emperor Chengzu himself."
Yang Fan looked intently.
Above the plaque with gold characters on a black background, there is an embossed bat with gold foil and a line of small characters "Jinling Pianpi Roast Duck House". Below there are four large characters, "Glycerin and fat." In the lower left corner, there is actually the words of Emperor Chengzu.
Seal.
His writing is solid and full, and his strokes tend to be long and thin. From time to time, there is an aura of Qingyuan and Qingyue floating out of the simplicity, giving him a sense of Wei Shen's extraordinary rise.
This is also the first time that Yang Fan has seen the authentic work of Chengzu. How do you say this word? It has great personality and characteristics.
Hey! This restaurant is really good.
Yang Fan looked down and saw two couplets on the gate: "Dismount when you smell the fragrance" and "Stop the car when you know the smell".
Ha! What a loud tone.
This restaurant successfully aroused Yang Fan's greed, and he must try it today.
"There is such a popular restaurant in the capital, why didn't you two tell me earlier?" Yang Fan complained.
"What are you talking about? After we married you, we just did one thing after another, without even a moment to breathe. We were driven back to Zunhua within a few days, and we only came back a few days ago." Xiao Niangpi
He said unconvinced.
"I didn't expect that there would be Peking duck in the Ming Dynasty." Yang Fan said to himself.
The two of them looked at Yang Fan in confusion. What does it mean that there was roast duck in the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that the master was not in the Ming Dynasty?
"Sir, roast duck has always been available. Roast duck has been popular since the Northern and Southern Dynasties." Lin Yueru looked at Yang Fan doubtfully and said. Isn't this common sense?
Only then did Yang Fan realize that roast duck was not a thing that existed in modern times.
In fact, there is another saying that roast duck came to Beijing earlier than the early Ming Dynasty.
The family tree of roast duck shows that as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the word "roasted duck" appeared in "Shizhenlu". By the Southern Song Dynasty, "roasted duck" had become a famous product in Lin'an's "market food".
Until later, after the Yuan Dynasty defeated Lin'an, the Yuan general Boyan moved all the craftsmanship in Lin'an city to Dadu.
From then on, the roast duck technology was spread to Beijing and became one of the treasures of Yuan Palace's imperial cuisine.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing roast duck was introduced to Beijing, not Hangzhou roast duck. However, Nanjing roast duck was more delicious, so it was gradually replaced.
The little girl sighed, she had a bit of toothache. Everything is fine with me, but from time to time my IQ is not up to par, and I say some inexplicable words. It’s really frustrating.
Xiao Niangpi gave him some popular science: "His simmered roast duck was passed down from Nanjing. Both Taizu and Chengzu loved it. When Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, he specially asked his family to follow him to Beijing to open a shop."
"I know Bianyifang. Their roast duck is roasted in a smoldering oven. There is also a roast duck that is roasted in a hanging oven. It's called Quanjude." Yang Fan said.
As soon as they heard about the food, their eyes immediately lit up, and the roast duck could even be baked in the oven.
"Master is lying again. There is no such thing as Quanjude. I have never heard of it. Where is it?"
"If a duck is roasted in a hanging oven and the steam is steaming, making the surface of the duck covered with ash, how can it be eaten? Sparks fly up and burn the skin of the duck, which makes it unsightly. There is also a smoky smell, so it will definitely not taste good.
." Xiao Niangpi immediately retorted.
The so-called braised duck is roasted by the heat of the furnace wall. The temperature in the furnace is first high and then low, and it is all cooked by the charcoal fire in the furnace and the hot furnace wall.
The duck and the fire are not together. They are separated by a fire wall, which is clean and dust-free. The temperature of the fire wall is low and it is cooked slowly.
The duck roasted in the stew oven is crispy on the outside, plump on the inside, fat but not greasy, and has a special aroma.
And because the duck is not exposed to an open flame, there are no impurities on the surface. The roasted product is maroon red, with bright and crispy skin and white and tender meat.
Lin Yueru also said: "Master, if you hang it directly over an open fire and bake it, it's hard to control the heat. It's roasting outside. It's probably bloodshot inside. How can you eat it half-cooked?"
Xiao Niangpi immediately formed a united front with Lin Yueru, nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice and saying, "That's right, that's right, the duck roasted like that is ugly as hell."
Yang Fan was also speechless. Do women eat with their eyes?
"I have a secret recipe. You can hang it in the oven and bake it. It will definitely be cooked and it will have a unique flavor, hehe." Yang Fan smiled mysteriously. Let's see what you two can get. There is always something you don't know. Hum.
When they heard this, they immediately became interested. They shook Yang Fan's arms left and right, and said coquettishly: "Master, you are so annoying, please don't offend others."
"Okay, okay, don't shake it anymore, your head is getting dizzy. There is an oven at home, and I will bake it for you at home if I have time another day."
"Is it true? Master is the best."
Yang Fan immediately got a good guy card. If he hadn't been on the street, he might have gotten a kiss.
The three of them entered the store and found that it was decorated in an antique style and was very clean. Yang Fan looked around and saw that the tables and chairs were all made of mahogany and the environment was quite good. However, the windows were all made of paper and the light was dim.
Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi were dressed in men's clothing at this time. However, they were handsome and looked like Xibei products at first glance.
In the late Ming Dynasty, as Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind spread across the country, social atmosphere also became more open. Otherwise, how could Zhang Tianru's crazy life happen?
It is also common for the young ladies of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen to wear men's clothes and go out to restaurants with their father and brothers.
What kind of place is the capital? The people here are well-informed. There is nothing they have not seen before and nothing that makes a fuss.
Xiao Niangpi has always been a little Tai Sui who walks sideways in the capital. Most of the yamen in Beijing know her. With the two characters Dongchang on her head, she is very intimidating. No one dares to touch her bad luck.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tu Shanyong was worried to death for a time. He was afraid that she would not be able to marry him.
Lin Yueru was not a good person either, and there were a lot of bad reviews in the yamen circle. Now it was finally the case that evil people had their own bad luck, and Yang Fan, who had brought down Duke Wei, took her over. All the yamen officials applauded her and went to the capital to cause great harm.
"Where is the boss? Get out of here right now." Xiao Niangpi shouted arrogantly.
When the waiter saw it, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately recognized him.
Immediately he flattered me and said: "I heard the magpies chirping when I woke up this morning, and I was still thinking about what good things to do today. No, you are always coming to the Tushan stall."
Yang Fan and Lin Yueru couldn't help but hold back their laughter. The little girl glared at them.
"It's been a long time since I saw you. The shopkeeper was still talking about it two days ago. As soon as you come, there won't even be anyone singing Lotus Falling in this street to ask for money."
"Bah, a dog can't spit out ivory. It's like this stall is a street tiger. Are there private rooms?"
"It must be there. You come here all the time. Even if the private room is full, I have to kick them out. I can't make room for you."
"Humph, Hu Er, you are a wise boy. Then I will reward you." Xiao Niangpi said and threw out a silver coin.
Hu Er immediately jumped forward exaggeratedly, caught it firmly in his hand, then blew it with his mouth and put it to his ear to listen to the buzzing sound.
"Hey, thank you for the silver coins from Xinghe." Hu Er immediately smiled with a smile on his face.
Xinghe's silver coins, with a purity of three nines, have already opened up the market.
This is the finest silver coin in the Ming Dynasty. It is far more pure than the various silver coins brought by the Francois. It is also very beautifully made. Every shop likes it and everyone is willing to accept it.
At this time, another guest came in through the door. I heard a clear voice behind me saying: "Who is so arrogant and wants to beat the guest out."
