Chapter 826: Delicious
Through the small door, they entered a relatively spacious yard. There were flower beds beside the yard, and they placed small wooden tables and stools in the middle. It looked like a place where family members sat in the yard and drank tea.
The row of brick houses at the back was where the family lived.
In her previous life, Jian Ai had been to Yang Xiaoman’s house before. The scene in front of her was roughly the same as what she remembered. However, not long after, this place was demolished because of the city’s construction. Yang Xiaoman’s father had no choice but to close the roast duck stall that he had operated for over ten years.
“Sit here for a while. I’ll get you some water.” Yang Xiaoman let the two of them sit at a small wooden table before turning around and running into the house.
Jian Ai looked at her back with a glint in her eyes. Some scenes from her previous life with Yang Xiaoman flashed across her mind.
At that time, she came to Capital University alone. Because of her introverted personality, she looked out of place with the other students in the dormitory. Yang Xiaoman, this lively girl, barged into her world like a bright star.
The two of them went to the library, the cafeteria, and the food street outside the school. Not long after, they became good friends.
During the days when she lost her mother and brother, the only person who stayed by her side was Yang Xiaoman.
However, in this life, Jian Ai did not know if she would still meet Yang Xiaoman in Capital University and if they could still be good friends like in her previous life.
“Come, eat it while it’s hot. If there aren’t enough onions and cucumbers, tell me.”
Not long after, the boss placed the sliced duck meat neatly on a plate. There was a plate of duck meat, a plate of duck skin, and a plate of duck chops.
Because the oven forced out the internal grease, the duck skin was delicious and crispy.
They made the lotus leaf buns every day. They were as light as paper, and every piece was transparent.
Jian Ai couldn’t wait to wrap one up. Just as she was about to put it into her mouth, she saw Jian Yichen sitting upright opposite her, looking at her without blinking.
Jian Ai paused and looked at him. “Why aren’t you eating?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai handed her duck wrap to Jian Yichen. “Try it. It’s delicious.”
Jian Yichen looked at Jian Ai and then at the duck wrap in her hand. It looked good, but Jian Yichen felt that such an inconspicuous place could not produce the essence of roast duck.
Seeing that he didn’t move, Jian Ai pushed the wrap forward again. “Eat one. If you think it’s not delicious, we’ll leave immediately and eat something else.”
Jian Yichen took it and slowly opened his mouth to take a bite under Jian Ai’s gaze.
Fresh duck meat, crispy duck skin, and tender lotus leaf bun accompanied by smooth sweet flour sauce, onion strips, and cucumber strips. All kinds of flavors collided with each other, dancing on the taste buds.
The fragrance of the roast duck lingered for a long time. It was a rare, delicious roast duck.
Jian Yichen was stunned. He looked up at Jian Ai and said, “Delicious.”
It was not inferior to the roast duck in the famous restaurants in the capital that he had eaten before. In fact, it was even better.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile smugly. “See? I already told you that this shop is delicious. Many people especially drive here to buy their duck.”
After tasting it, Jian Yichen made a wrap himself.
Jian Ai ate the taste in her memory again and was so touched that she almost cried. It tasted the same as in her previous life. This was the most delicious roast duck in Jian Ai’s heart.
