Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Yang Menglan raised her eyebrows.

His eyes were full of joy, but he still joked, "It's a little early to call you mom now."

Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed that she hid behind Cao Wei, not daring to make a move at all. Her little hands couldn't help twisting his back, making Cao Wei grimace in pain.

Yang Menglan's smile widened a few more times.

"Master's wife, why are you here?"

"Come here to buy fish. You may not know that there are often old men fishing here. You can buy fresh ones if you come here during this time. Aren't you coming today? Your master asked me to come here to buy a few fish to cook in the evening. Who knew you would give me such a surprise. Okay, I won't say much to you. Remember to come to my house for dinner in the evening." Yang Menglan was also understanding. She knew that the girl was shy, so she just explained a few words and left.

After watching Yang Menglan leave.

Cao Wei pulled out Lou Xiao'e, who was twisting the towel behind him. Without saying a word, he just looked at her feet curiously.

"What are you doing?!" Lou Xiao'e's face was burning and her eyes widened.

"Let me see if you have dug out a Forbidden City there with your toes."

"You!" Before Lou Xiao'e could finish her words or vent her anger, her pupils widened again.

You XX, come back again!

"Hiss! Ha!" Cao Wei gasped, clamped his legs together, stood still, sweating profusely, gritting his teeth and saying, "Lou Xiaogou! You want to murder your husband?"

"Oh, you are not my husband." Lou Xiao'e sneered. Although she sneered coldly, her ears that were red to her head showed that she was not calm at the moment.

"Then I don't care. I will be your husband from now on."

"Tsk, Cao Xiaogou, I remember someone just barked, how dare you call me Lou Xiaogou?!" Lou Xiao'e chose to skip the topic.

"What? You really dare to go with me?"

"I..." Lou Xiao'e was about to say "I dare you", but when she thought of the scene just now, she shrank back and stomped her feet: "Then I don't care, we are even, you are not allowed to call me Lou puppy."

"Okay, okay, don't shout, don't shout, let's go, buy me a meal."

"Humph!"

Cao Wei turned around and walked in front.

Lou Xiao'e muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't I marry this bastard?"

"What did you say?"

"Say you're not human."

"Oh."

Cao Shameless Wei didn't care about this evaluation and even thought it was a compliment.

There are many roast duck restaurants in this city.

But there are only two restaurants that are famous and have decent craftsmanship: Quanjude and Bianyifang.

The predecessor of Bianyifang has a long history. It appeared in the form of a roast duck restaurant during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Because it was cheap, it was called "Bianyifang". Because of the good business, a lot of imitators appeared. In the Ming Dynasty, when trademarks were not important, the city was full of "Bianyifang".

The river water of time washed away everything, and those that should sink to the bottom sank, and those that should go ashore went ashore, leaving only one Bian Yi Fang that had been opened since 1855. At that time, it was called "Xianyukou Bian Yi Fang".

As for history going back further, you can say there was no gap, or you can say there was.

While Cao Wei explained the origin of Bianyifang to Lou Xiao'e, he led her inside.

"Hey, how many gentlemen are there?"

"Two of you can just sit in the hall."

"Okay! You two!"

Following the waiter's call, I walked into the hall.

The store is not big, but it is clean and elegant, and it is full of guests. In this year, not many people can achieve this.

"There are quite a lot of people here. They came here once two years ago, but there weren't so many people then." Cao Wei sighed.

Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "The harvests in previous years were like that. Who can come? Who dares to come?"

In modern times, roast duck is considered a luxury. In this era, if you have a meat ticket, the first thing you think of is not chicken, duck, or goose, but pork, which is oily, fat, and meaty. A duck, minus the head and tail, only weighs a few pounds. It tastes good, but it doesn't fill you up.

Two people, one duck left over.

A duck is a lot.

Not only roast duck, but also the duck bones will be stewed with cabbage and tofu. The soup is white and turbid, without any fishy smell of duck, but with the unique sweetness of cabbage. When you take a bite, the taste is so beautiful that people will squint their eyes.

"Why don't you say anything? All you do is eat." Lou Xiao'e kicked Cao Wei under the table in annoyance.

"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. This is what a gentleman does."

Lou Xiaoe:? ? ?

She lowered her head and took a sip of the soup, not wanting to comment on his being a "gentleman".

As if he remembered something, he asked with a half-smile, "If Xu Damao knew that you brought me here to eat roast duck, do you think he would be angry?"

Cao Wei looked at Lou Xiaoe in horror.

The curve of Lou Xiao'e's mouth widened further.

You are afraid of it!

However, the next sentence makes people understand a law - the smile in this world is conserved, it is either on your face or on my face.

"No way, no way, a young lady like you wouldn't have the same opinion as Xu Damao, right?" Cao Wei's sarcastic tone made Lou Xiao'e stomp on him hard again.

"But then again, you haven't told him this?"

"What do you mean?" Lou Xiao'e glared at him resentfully. "Should I tell him that he was destined to never be a leader since the day he married me?"

If the daughter of a capitalist marries a worker, it is considered as actively integrating into socialism. But if she marries a leader, even a low-level cadre, the nature of the situation changes completely.

"Yes, I was negligent. It's really hard to say about this matter."

"How do you know? You look young, how do you know everything?" This is what Lou Xiao'e was curious about. People who are not in this circle don't understand these potential things. How can Cao Wei, a cook, know so much?

"Curious?"

"hold head high."

"Then come to my room tonight and I'll tell you in secret."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the foot twice again.

Lou Xiao'e was sure that if she dared to go to his room, this guy would really eat her.

"Have some shame, if we are discovered, we will both be finished."

"That is to say, you agree as long as no one finds out." Cao Wei's eyes lit up.

Lou Xiao'e:......

"Is there something wrong with you?" This was the dirtiest thing that a well-educated girl could say.

Cao Wei sighed softly and wrapped a piece of roast duck for her: "Eat it, the roast duck here is delicious."

Looking at the roast duck in her bowl, Lou Xiaoe sighed leisurely: "We are really not suitable for each other."
