Chapter 205 Visit the Capital and Buy Roast Duck
Chapter 205 Visit the Capital and Buy Roast Duck
"I……"
"Okay, girl, you ask your brother for money all day long. Have you spent all the pocket money your brother gave you?" Ye Xin asked.
"No!"
"You still want more before you finish spending all the money. You really are..."
After finishing the meal, Li Jiayi walked out, started the tricycle, turned around and said, "Sister, take Ah Quan with you when you go out."
"understood."
"Let's go, Asheng." Li Jiayi shouted, and Asheng jumped onto the tricycle.
In less than ten minutes, Li Jiayi arrived at the courtyard, opened the gate with the key, and drove the tricycle in.
First, I went to the east room and took out some peanuts and melon seeds, enough to sell today.
Then I went to the living room and filled two large wooden barrels with mineral water. This stuff is indispensable.
Otherwise, these guys would probably have to drink tap water in the yard, but they would have diarrhea after drinking tap water!
After waiting for about half an hour, the little black fat man came over.
"Li Jiayi, you came early today!"
"Nothing to say, right? I'm always earlier than you." Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at the fat man and asked.
"Uh! Okay! By the way, here's yesterday's money."
"How many?"
"The total yesterday was nine hundred and seventy-two." After saying that, he handed over a bundle of money.
Li Jiayi took it and counted it. It was just right. He took out ten yuan and said, "This is your salary for yesterday."
"Li Jiayi, you don't have to give me the money yet. Wait until you buy the food back and we can settle it together."
"Take it. Let's put things in order. You can give it to me later. Now you can take the money."
"Ok."
Looking at his pocket watch, it was still early, so Li Jiayi did not leave for the time being. Instead, he stayed here to help Fatty distribute school bags to everyone.
It was almost nine o'clock when Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the embassy's family quarters.
Because it was relatively close, we arrived at the destination very quickly.
If they hadn't come yesterday, I guess these foreigners would have complained again.
If it were one of his own, he would definitely tell them in advance, but for these foreigners, there is no need at all.
He comes when he wants to and doesn't come when he doesn't want to. Whether these foreigners complain or not has no effect on him at all.
First put out some fruit juice, then put out the peanuts. Now these five-spice peanuts are selling quite well here.
"Do not miss passing through."
“Fresh frozen juice.”
"Spiced peanuts."
"Kid, give me two bags of peanuts so I can take them to work." A foreigner handed over a US dollar and said.
"okay."
"I'll take two packs, too."
"Give me another glass of juice."
"can."
Half an hour later, Li Jiayi sold more than 20 cups of juice and more than 30 bags of peanuts.
At this moment, a middle-aged foreigner came over, glanced at Li Jiayi and asked, "Kid, how many peanuts do you have here?"
"What's the matter?" Li Jiayi frowned.
Just kidding, if you ask how many glasses of juice there are, it’s really hard to answer, after all, there are only so many glasses.
But if you ask how many bags of peanuts there are, just kidding, that’s a lot.
There are plenty in the space. I can’t say how many there are, but there are still tens of thousands of bags.
"I want to buy some more, how many do you have?"
"Don't ask me how much I have. Just tell me how much you want and when you want it."
"I want it now. Do you have 200 packs?"
"If you take out that word 'ma', it's just two hundred packets. It's nothing to me."
"Okay, give me two hundred packs." After saying that, he took out a few twenty-dollar bills and put them directly on the lid of the box.
Li Jiayi counted the money and found it was exactly one hundred US dollars. He put the money away, opened the box, and took out two larger net bags.
There happened to be a hundred bags in one of them, so he handed it over and said, "Your two hundred bags of peanuts."
"Three grams of oil."
"You're welcome."
The middle-aged foreigner left with two net bags, which made Li Jiayi very sorry. He didn't understand why the foreigner bought so many peanuts.
You have to know that the price is very expensive! Two taels of peanuts is fifty cents, and one pound is two and a half dollars. If converted into RMB, it is almost seven yuan.
You can say it’s because it tastes good, but if it tastes good, it doesn’t matter if you buy one or two packs; after all, it’s just a snack.
But buying two hundred bags at once is a bit abnormal.
But Li Jiayi didn't think much about it. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he would sell it no matter how much it cost.
The morning passed quickly and business was pretty good. Not counting the 200 bags of peanuts sold, the company still made more than 90 US dollars.
After collecting the juice, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the courtyard to deliver food to Fatty.
And took a nap in the yard.
In the afternoon, Li Jiayi went out to sell juice and peanuts for the whole afternoon.
He finished the meal before six o'clock, gave the food to the fat man, and went straight home.
When my cousin comes over, I must take her out for a walk!
It just so happens that it’s not that hot at this time, so I can take her to see the capital on a tricycle.
Sure enough, when he returned home, his eldest sister and the others were all at home, as were his parents.
Maybe because it was still early before dark, I didn’t start cooking.
"Is my son back? He came back quite early today!" said Li Aimin.
"I was planning to take Jiafen out for a walk, so I came back a little earlier."
"Want to drive the tricycle out? Then I'll go too." The second sister said quickly. "Okay, I'll take you with me."
After saying that, Li Jiayi looked at her elder sister and asked, "Sister, are you going?"
"it is good."
Fortunately, before coming back, he replaced the box on the tricycle with a carriage with seats.
My parents didn't come with me. Well, they were tired after a day of work and could take this opportunity to rest.
After the eldest sister, second sister and cousin were seated, Li Jiayi called Asheng and Aquan into the car, and then walked out.
When going out, it is safer to take Asheng and the others with you. Basically no one dares to have any bad intentions towards them.
"Let's go to Tiananmen Square first! Then we can go to Wangfujing."
"Okay, okay." The second sister nodded repeatedly.
It seemed as if the person who was going to be taken out to play was not Li Jiafen, but her, which made Li Jiayi speechless.
In less than ten minutes, the tricycle arrived at Tiananmen Square.
Li Jiafen asked in amazement: "Is this Tiananmen Square? It's so big!"
"It's bigger inside. It's a little late today. I'll take you inside when I have time." said the eldest sister.
"Ok!"
After taking them around Tiananmen Square and Wangfujing, he brought them here.
"Sister, wait in the car for a while, I'm going to buy something."
"Little brother, what are you buying here?" asked the elder sister.
Li Jiayi pointed to the Quanjude restaurant in front of him and said, "I'll go in and buy two roast ducks for Jiafen to try."
"OK then."
Quanjude Roast Duck is now a public-private partnership, and another thing is that you don’t need a ticket to dine here.
But one thing is that the roast duck here is very expensive.
Normally, a chicken costs only one dollar, and a duck is a little bigger, but definitely not more than two dollars.
But if you want to eat roast duck at Quanjude, it will cost you six to eight yuan per duck.
Six pieces or eight pieces has nothing to do with the size of the roast duck. It’s mainly about the different ways of eating it and the different side dishes.
Six pieces means twelve meals, eight pieces means twenty-four meals, and the same goes for a large bun.
Also, no matter who comes here to eat roast duck, they have to wait, and it takes quite a long time.
There is no way, because roasting takes time. It takes forty-five minutes to roast a roast duck from the beginning to the end.
Li Jiayi went in and ordered two, then paid the money and came out to wait.
"Brother, where is the roast duck you bought? Is it sold out?"
"No, big sister, I've already bought it and they're grilling it now. Please wait a moment."
"Oh! I see! Then wait!"
Li Jiayi patted his forehead and said, "I forgot to tell mom when I came out. I guess she should be cooking at this time."
In fact, it’s not Li Jiayi’s fault. He only decided to buy roast duck after he arrived here. He hadn’t thought about this before.
"Why is it taking so long?"
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Li Jialin became a little anxious.
"You have to wait for delicious food." After saying that, Li Jiayi took out a few apples from his schoolbag.
"Here, have an apple first." Li Jiayi said as he shared the apple.
To be honest, Quanjude Roast Duck at this time is still very good and quite authentic.
The taste is even better.
Unfortunately, it no longer works after a few decades, and what is being sold is just a sentiment.
Whether it's the taste or anything else, to be honest, it's just average.
It's basically a one-time deal, and many people won't eat it again after trying it once.
The reason why there are so many people eating here is that they are actually tourists visiting the capital.
With so many people in the country, even if only one in ten thousand who come to the capital to travel eats Peking duck, that is not a small number!
Li Jiayi had eaten it once in his previous life, and to be honest, he never wanted to eat it a second time. He might as well just find some roast duck in a random restaurant.
Not only that, it’s also extremely expensive.
More than forty minutes later, a waiter came out and said, "The roast duck you ordered is ready."
"Ok."
Li Jiayi hurriedly followed the clerk in and took out the big package of roast duck.
It was also wrapped in oil paper, and there was quite a lot of stuff in it.
"Let's go home and eat roast duck."
The elder sister took the roast duck and Li Jiayi drove the tricycle back.
When he got home, just as he had expected, his mother had almost finished cooking.
"Mom, don't cook for now." Li Jiayi hurried to the kitchen and said.
"What's the matter, son?"
"I bought roast duck."
"Ah! Then why didn't you tell me when you were leaving? I'm almost done here."
"I bought it on a whim. I didn't even think of buying roast duck before!"
"What should we do? It's all ready." Ye Xin said as she looked at the food that was almost ready.
"How about this! Invite Uncle Liao to come over to eat together, and ask him to clean up the roast duck."
"Okay, go ahead and call!"
"Ok!"
Li Jiayi ran to Liao Kai's house and pushed the door open and went in.
Liao Kai was eating a plate of stir-fried vegetables, two steamed buns made of two-grain flour, and a plate of peanuts.
