I opened a breakfast shop while raising my child, and the school beauty begged me not to sell it any
Chapter 326 The Little Shop is Also Great
This couple looked to be in their early 30s, a time when they are full of energy.
Sister Tian went up to communicate and explained her purpose to the boss, Sister Wu.
"Hello, Sister Wu. We are food bloggers who do restaurant reviews. Could you film some of your cooking and tasting? It's okay if you don't show your faces, just the food and the restaurant's environment."
The boss and his wife exchanged a glance and readily agreed.
"Looks like I'm going to become famous soon. Go ahead and film it. What's wrong with filming? There's nothing secret about our shop. We're just always cooking, so we're not afraid of people watching."
Sister Wu added, "Take pictures of him, but not me. I'm not dressed up or wearing makeup today, and you'll make me look terrible in those pictures. I'll feel really embarrassed."
Sweetie laughed and then placed her phone on a simple stand on the corner of the table, adjusting the angle.
"Okay, give us two servings of old duck soup and two servings of duck leg rice. Mine should be spicy, what about yours?"
"I'm not adding any spice to this one, just the original flavor."
As Sister Wu wrote down her thoughts on the paper, she spoke.
"How about this, two servings of old duck soup are quite a lot, can I put them in a small pot for you two? You can share them."
"Okay, thanks."
Master Zhou responded and turned to go into the inner room. Sister Wu brought over two free servings of plum juice and placed them on the table.
"Please have some first. This plum juice is free. We made it fresh this morning. If you think it's not cold enough, I'll go add some ice."
In just over 20 minutes, Master Zhou came out carrying a clay pot.
The casserole is an old-fashioned earthenware pot with mottled marks left by the years on its surface.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a burst of white steam rose up, filling the air with a rich aroma of duck mixed with a subtle scent of Chinese herbs. The broth was milky white, with a few goji berries and two slices of ginger floating on the surface.
Next came the duck leg rice, which was also served.
A bowl of rice sits atop a white porcelain plate, topped with a whole duck leg. The duck skin is amber-colored, glossy and tempting, and the meat is stewed until tender, falling off the bone with a gentle touch of chopsticks.
It was served with two blanched greens and a small dish of pickled vegetables.
Since the start button hadn't been pressed yet, Sister Sweetie whispered to Chen Yuan beside her.
"This looks delicious. We definitely made the right choice coming here today."
Chen Yuan stirred the casserole with a large spoon, and sure enough, there were large chunks of duck meat and some side dishes inside.
"This portion is quite large. If you were to eat here, this would cost at least 100 yuan."
Sweetie nodded, then eagerly pointed her phone camera at the casserole dish.
"Are you ready? If you are, I'll start filming."
"Okay, let's take the picture."
As she spoke, Sister Sweetie pressed the record button.
As usual, he started with an opening speech, and then introduced Chen Yuan, who was standing next to him.
Then, as usual, he began explaining the soup.
"Look, this soup is really milky white. There's no need to question whether any special technology or 'tricks' have been added. Duck meat itself has a high fat content, so it's easy to stew it to this color."
Then Sister Sweetie took the lead and scooped some soup and meat into the bowl, and took a bite.
"It's no exaggeration at all. This flavor isn't the kind of umami taste created by MSG. It's the rich aroma that comes from slowly simmering duck meat and medicinal herbs."
"Because the umami flavor of MSG is very direct, and I think everyone can definitely taste it after eating it a lot. It's different from the aroma that comes from cooking ingredients."
Chen Yuan also ladled himself a bowl and savored it carefully.
It must be said that the soup base is indeed very clean, without any excessive or overpowering spices that overpower the flavor of the duck meat itself.
The moment you take a bite, you can easily taste the natural sweetness of the duck meat, along with the dry aroma of several Chinese herbs.
He picked up a piece of duck meat; the meat was firm but not dry, and the fibers were soaked with broth, bursting with juice when he bit into it.
"I must say, the duck was very well selected. It doesn't taste like a fast-grown meat duck; it must be an old water duck, with a chewy texture."
He spoke to the camera with a very sincere tone.
"This needs to be simmered slowly in a clay pot for about 4 hours, so the soup is white and the meat is tender. I think it's definitely worth a try."
Sweetie then pointed out the crucial issue of portion size, noting that when she scooped up the duck meat with a spoon, she found large chunks of meat.
"Look, this is mostly meat, unlike some shops that put a lot of duck bones in it and there's not much meat. This is real meat, and everyone can see it."
After showcasing the duck soup, the focus shifted to the duck leg rice.
Sweetie's video style tends to be a bit exaggerated, so when she gently poked the duck meat off the bone with her chopsticks, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Wow! Look at this duck leg. Not only does it look beautiful after stewing, but the skin is also tender and the meat is juicy. I feel like even the bones are infused with flavor in this condition."
As he spoke, right in front of the camera, he eagerly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, making an "Mmm" sound.
"This duck leg rice not only has the savory aroma of braised sauce, but also the flavor of duck oil, and just the right amount of saltiness and a touch of sweetness. It's not overly sweet; the taste is truly excellent."
Chen Yuan also tasted a bite of the duck leg rice and nodded in agreement.
"The duck leg was very flavorful, with just the right amount of saltiness. The rice was also very separate, probably steamed with oil, such as duck fat or lard. It was very appetizing when eaten with pickled vegetables."
"A duck leg for 12 yuan, plus unlimited rice and side dishes, I think it's pretty worth it."
The two were facing the camera when suddenly a head popped out from behind them.
It's the proprietress, Sister Wu.
She didn't show her face directly in the camera, only half of her head. She made a peace sign at the camera, then quickly withdrew, all the while giggling.
"Don't film me, don't film me, please don't film me! I just came to see if you guys are eating well."
Sweetie also felt that this sudden interaction was actually quite entertaining, so she immediately chimed in.
"The proprietress is quite playful. She said she didn't want to be on camera, but she couldn't resist anyway."
Wu Qi's voice came from off-camera.
"Eat more, the rice was steamed fresh this morning, it smells so good. If you're not full, I'll get you more."
"Also, it's not because you're filming my family's meals that I'm giving you extra portions or anything. This is the usual amount we make at home. Explain this properly to the people in front of the camera, and don't think I'm giving you special treatment."
Sister Sweetie laughed and nodded repeatedly.
"Sister Wu, you are so adorable."
"Don't worry, I will definitely explain the issue of the quantity."
