According to legend, the beauty of roast duck comes from the precious breed of Peking duck, which is the best quality meat-eating duck in the world today. It is said that the breeding of this special type of pure Peking duck started about a thousand years ago, due to the period of Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

Emperors of the past dynasties accidentally obtained this pure white wild duck species during hunting, and later raised it for hunting. This has been continued until this excellent pure breed was obtained, and it was cultivated into today's precious carnivorous duck species. That is, a species fattened by fill-feeding.

They breed white ducks, hence the name "cramming ducks".

Not only that, Peking duck was introduced to Europe and the United States a hundred years ago, and became a blockbuster after breeding. Therefore, as a high-quality breed, Peking duck has long been the source of rare duck species in the world.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the common people loved to eat Nanjing salted duck, and the emperor also loved to eat it. It is said that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang "roasted a duck during the solar eclipse." The royal chefs in the palace tried their best to develop new ways to eat duck dishes to please the Long Live Lord, so they also

Two types of barbecued duck and braised oven-roasted duck were developed.

"Quanjude" is the representative for barbecued duck, while "Bianbi Fang" is the most famous for braised roast duck.

After the founding of State Z, the reputation of Beijing roast duck has increased day by day and become more famous around the world. It is said that the prime minister of the country appreciates and pays close attention to this famous dish and entertains foreign guests to taste the roast duck.

The most glorious among the roast duck family is Quanjude, which established the roast duck family’s status as Beijing’s image ambassador.

The founder of "Quanjude" was a small businessman who was engaged in the business of raw chickens and ducks. After accumulating capital, he opened the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant. He hired a roast duck master who had worked in the Imperial Kitchen of the Qing Palace to use the palace's "hung oven roast duck" technology.

The exquisite roast duck has made "hung oven roast duck" popular among the people.

Quanjude adopts the hanging oven roasting method, which does not disembowel the duck. It only cuts a small hole in the duck, takes out the internal organs, pours boiling water into the duck's belly, then ties the small hole and hangs it over the fire for roasting.

This method does not allow the duck to lose water due to being roasted, but also allows the duck's skin to swell and not become tender. The roasted duck skin is very thin and crispy, which becomes the most delicious part of the roast duck.

The hanging stove has a furnace hole but no furnace door. It uses jujube wood, pear wood and other fruit wood as fuel, and uses an open fire. When the fruit wood is burned, there is no smoke, a strong bottom fire, and a long burning time. The roasted duck has a plump appearance, a jujube red color, and a thick skin.

Crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fruity aroma, the taste becomes even more wonderful when you taste it carefully. Strictly speaking, only this roasting method is called Peking duck.

Compared with the hanging oven roast duck, the braised oven roast duck represented by Bianyifang seems to be less impressive in people's minds. Fortunately, the time-honored Biianfang, with a history of nearly 600 years, has applied for the "National Intangible Materials" with its braised oven roast duck technique.

"Cultural Heritage Protection". Bianyifang Braised Roast Duck was founded in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with Quanjude's reputation, it actually has an earlier history and is nearly 600 years old.

The so-called "stewing furnace" is actually a kind of floor furnace. The furnace body is made of bricks and is about one meter square. Its production method was first introduced to Beijing from the south. Its characteristic is that "the duck can't see the open flame". It is made from the furnace.

It is made by simmering the inner charcoal fire and the hot furnace wall. Because it requires a dark fire, it requires very high skills. The person in charge of the furnace must control the temperature inside the furnace.

If the temperature of Beijing roast duck is too high, the duck will be burnt, otherwise it will be undercooked. The skin of braised roast duck is bright and crispy, and the meat is white, tender and delicious. Braised roast duck is the signature of Bianyifang, but the stew oven for burning rice straw has long been changed to

An electric stew oven was installed. Nowadays, there are very few roast duck restaurants that use stew ovens. Most roast duck restaurants use the Quanjude hanging oven roasting method.

The stewed oven roasted duck tastes more tender, and the duck skin's juice is obviously richer and fuller. The fruity wood aroma of the hanging oven roasted duck seems to make people appreciate the wisdom of the "roasting" cooking method that was first mastered by humans.

Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant (a little less famous than the above two, but still very delicious), diagonally opposite the Beijing-Guangzhou Center, the dishes are very particular, and are really roasted with apple wood, and the taste and texture are unparalleled. Da Dong

Mr. Dong was born in Quanjude. You must try adding some minced garlic to the lotus leaf cake. It is very delicious. The waiter will teach you how to eat it.

Nowadays, hanging oven roast duck and braised oven roast duck are the two main schools of roast duck in Beijing. Just like Beijing roast duck sublated and improved Shandong roast duck, many restaurants that serve roast duck have also adapted these two traditional schools to suit modern tastes.

and improvements in consumer thinking. For example, the emphasis on eating the skin of roast duck, Xiaowangfu’s special selection of duck varieties, and even the replacement of shredded green onions with cucumber strips in many places. These improvements that are deformed without losing spirit are all good. As for

The gold foil roast duck produced in some places is a bit pretentious. Of course, the authentic roast duck restaurant will naturally taste good.

“What we are eating today is the most famous Quanjude Roast Duck in Beijing, and this is also the origin of Quanjude Roast Duck, which can be regarded as the original Peking Roast Duck!”

"In other words, what we are eating today is the roast duck that even the emperor wants to eat!"

Old Mrs. Liu said with a cheerful smile, I didn't expect this duck to have so many details. It is indeed a big city in the center of the country, and it has a lot of details.

Yiyi danced and talked. Not to mention Old Mrs. Liu, even Jiang Shujuan, a native of the capital, looked at her in amazement. She did not expect that the little niece Ai Dang knew so much and spoke so clearly about roast duck.

It seems that I have already memorized the taste of roast duck by heart. When I talk about the taste of roast duck, it feels like I have been there often. The smell of roast duck seems to appear before my eyes when I hear it!

"Grandma, you must try it later. When you come to the capital, if you haven't eaten roast duck, it's like you haven't been to the Forbidden City. This is a famous dish in the capital, and it is even famous internationally. It makes no sense for those gringos

We have all eaten roast duck, but we people from country Z have never eaten it!"

"Eat, grandma must have eaten with open stomach today. Who told my precious granddaughter to pay for it today! Bring a few to your grandpa and the others when you go back!"

Liu Yiyi nodded, "Although what I brought back may not be as delicious as freshly roasted, it is still roast duck, and it is definitely more delicious than the local ones!"

"Yiyi, you are bleeding heavily today, do you need me to help you a little bit?"

Liu Yihan looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile. Although the younger sister is a little rich, she spent nearly three or four hundred yuan on this trip. She didn't feel bad, but he did. No matter how you say it, she is his favorite.

Little sister, how can he really let her spend money? Although he also feels very sad, he is a good brother who loves his sister. Moreover, when they were in Liucheng, because of Yiyi, he and Han Haoyang made a lot of money.

, he now has several thousand in savings, and he can still afford three to four hundred yuan!

Liu Yiyi sneered, "Brother, you are just a glutton. You can only get in but not get out. I don't dare to ask for your money. Who knows if you will find other reasons to take more money from me next time!"

"

Logically speaking, Lao Liu's family members are relatively generous, but her little brother is really focused on money. If he doesn't buy things for herself, she would have doubted her little brother.

Not Grandet!

Liu Yihan opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner and said miserably, "Yiyi, what you say hurts my brother's heart so much. When has my brother ever tricked you?"

Liu Yiyi's eyebrows turned, "Little brother, I'm afraid you have forgotten that you asked me to catch more from the back mountain..."

"Stop, stop, stop, how long has it been? Let's not talk about whether this can be done! Brother, I have not treated you badly. If you say this, my brother's heart will always hurt!"

Liu Yihan quickly stopped Yi Yi. If his grandma knew that he asked Yi Yi to go to the mountains to pick up prey for money, he would definitely be beaten to death by his grandma. But he forgot that his grandma, Mrs. Liu, was sitting next to her now, and Mrs. Liu

Who it was, it was definitely a smart old lady. She knew immediately upon hearing that this guy must have asked Yiyi to go to the mountains to pick up prey. No matter how she guessed it, it was no wonder that for a period of time, Yiyi always followed Liu Yihan, a brat.

Go to the back mountain, I feel like this brat is using Yiyi to make money!

Old Mrs. Liu slapped Liu Yihan on the back and yelled angrily, "You brat, how dare you trick your sister into going up the mountain. If you do this again next time, be careful and I'll break your legs!"

"grandmother!"

Liu Yihan wanted to say that the mountains were just like the back garden of his family to his sister, and Yiyi was so lucky that as long as he stood in the mountains, no matter what pheasants and rabbits were like two idiots, they would bump into Yiyi, no?

Being knocked unconscious was because he was entangled in a branch. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use such incredible luck? And because of Yiyi's luck, their family eats a lot of meat, which is the jerky of their uncle and second brother.

Isn’t that how they all come about?

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words. After all, the less people knew about Yiyi, the safer it would be. Although Yiyi had now joined the supernatural department, it could not hide that Yiyi was really God's daughter. Don't faint like this.

Speaking of people, I am afraid that the country will covet them, so the fewer people who know about them, the better!

"I'll take care of you when I get back!"

Old Mrs. Liu also knew that there were some things that she couldn't say. She glanced coldly and Liu Yihan shuddered. Sure enough, his grandma was still so powerful. Just one glance made him a little scared. But when he goes back today, grandma must be tired and she can still remember it.

He, he just hopes that they can hang out for a while longer in the afternoon, so that grandma will completely forget about him, Liu Yihan thought unkindly!

“The roast duck is here!”

Liu Yiyi watched with a smile as the chef brought the steaming roast duck to the table. In addition to the roast duck, there were many side dishes. Liu Yiyi took the lead in giving Mrs. Liu a piece of roast duck and dipped it in some prepared ingredients.

"Grandma, try it, it will definitely be delicious!"

"My precious granddaughter made it for me, it must be delicious!"

Old Mrs. Liu took the roast duck from her granddaughter's hand with a smile, took a bite, and her eyes lit up. Not to mention the roast duck was so fragrant, the skin was crispy, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, and there was a fragrance of fruit wood. The taste became even more wonderful when you taste it carefully.

, it is indeed a Beijing roast duck. This taste is truly unforgettable!

After Mrs. Liu finished her first bite, she found that everyone was looking at her. She quickly urged, "Yiyi, you should eat quickly. This is delicious when it's hot and fragrant. You should also eat quickly, but don't let Yiyi eat it."

You guys do it!”

Jiang Shujuan was a little surprised!
