"This is an old chicken soup shop." When Li Qiye made such a request, Qingshi, who was sitting opposite, gently reminded Li Qiye.
Qingshi also felt that Li Qiye’s request was too much. He opened an old chicken soup shop and only sold chicken soup, but Li Qiye wanted to drink duck soup, and he also had various requirements, such as three-year-old duck, boiled over a slow fire. , cooked in a clay pot... This is just to ruin things.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, guest, the shop only has chicken soup, not duck soup." The old man said with a smile: "Guest, would you like to have a bowl of chicken soup to try? It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the taste is unique."
At this time, Li Qiye grabbed a handful of bamboo chopsticks and played with them. Hearing what the old man said, he glanced at the old man and said lightly: "I only drink duck soup, not chicken soup."
Qingshi had nothing to say. Li Qiye was trying to force someone into a difficult situation. He went to someone else's old chicken soup shop to drink duck soup. Wasn't this because he was trying to destroy someone else's sign? This is purely looking for trouble.
"How about we change the store." Qingshi was a little worried about the store, so he kindly changed the subject.
The old man was not angry, and still said with a smile: "Guest, there is really no duck soup in the shop. How about a bowl of chicken soup? The soup tastes delicious..."
"Duck soup, not chicken soup." Li Qiye casually threw the chopsticks on the table and said calmly: "I only want duck soup. Get me a pot quickly."
When the old man saw the chopsticks placed on the table by Li Qiye, he saw that they were just thrown by Li Qiye casually. However, even if he scattered them casually, they were completely natural and formed a pattern. They jumped on the table as if they were about to fly off the table. stand up.
When he saw the pattern made by the chopsticks, the old man's face changed drastically. He took a step back and was suffocated. However, he quickly took a deep breath and quickly put away the chopsticks on the table, put them into the tube, bent down, and smiled. Said: "Duck soup, duck soup, duck soup immediately."
"Three-year-old duck, scald it over low heat, use clay pot, and ask for stone water." Li Qiye said instructing.
"Definitely, definitely." The old man said with a smile: "A three-year-old duck, blanch it over a slow fire, use a clay pot, and ask for stone water. Remember this, little one." After saying that, he bent down again, smiled, and then entered. Cooked.
The old man's sudden change of attitude made Qingshi stunned for a moment and unable to react. He didn't understand why the store suddenly agreed to make duck soup for Li Qiye.
This is an old chicken soup shop. Li Qiye came here to ask for duck soup. It was a waste of time. Now the shop owner actually agreed, which puzzled Qingshi.
Of course, Qingshi didn't see the pattern formed by the chopsticks scattered on the table just now. The old man put away the chopsticks as soon as he stretched out his hand. Qingshi didn't know what happened.
When the back of the store was busy, Qingshi couldn't help but wonder, and asked in a low voice: "Why does the young master want to drink duck soup?"
To be honest, Qingshi didn't understand at all. It was so against the rules to come to the old chicken soup shop to drink duck soup. Moreover, Li Qiye was not passing by here. He made it clear that he came here specifically.
It's so weird to come to an old chicken soup restaurant to drink duck soup. It doesn't make sense at all.
Li Qiye smiled and didn't say anything. He just sat there, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Qingshi had no choice but to think about it himself. He couldn't think of the reason, so he had to look at the old shop in front of him carefully. He looked at the old shop carefully.
To be honest, in his opinion, there seems to be nothing surprising about such an old store. In the ancestral city, there are not many old stores like this.
After all, the ancestral city has stood for thousands of years, and it is not surprising that there are old shops here that have been passed down from generation to generation.
However, it is strange to say that Li Qiye made a special trip to such an old store. What is the purpose of this and what is the mystery in it.
Qingshi couldn't tell. He didn't know what there was in this old shop that was worthy of Li Qiye's special trip.
If the chicken soup here is excellent, it would be fair to say that Li Qiye came to drink chicken soup because he was greedy. However, Li Qiye came here to drink duck soup.
This situation really puzzled Qingshi. He believed that Li Qiye could not come to such an old chicken soup shop for no reason. He must have made a special trip. As for why he came, Qingshi had no idea.
In this old shop, there are only two customers like Li Qiye. Apart from them, there are no other customers.
It is strange to say that such an old store is located in such a dense alley. There are many people living in so many alleys, and it can be said that people come and go.
However, even though there were people coming and going outside the store, no one came in to drink the chicken soup. Even though the chicken soup in the back kitchen exuded an alluring fragrance, no one came in.
This situation is as if this old store is in a busy city. However, at this moment, the people coming and going in the busy city cannot see this small store. This feeling is very strange. It has something to say. Unclear feeling.
After having such a feeling, Qingshi couldn't help but shudder. Could they have entered a haunted shop or haunted house or something? Others could not see it, only they could see it.
Although Qingshi didn't believe in any ghosts, but now that he was in such a strange place, he was more or less terrified, and he couldn't help but look at Li Qiye.
However, Li Qiye sat there, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if he was asleep, not worried at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally a fragrance came. As soon as I smelled this fragrance, Qingshi knew that this was definitely duck soup, which tasted completely different from chicken soup. As for the taste, Qingshi said Not coming out.
However, as soon as he smelled such a fragrance, he was sure that it must be the fragrance of duck soup. Moreover, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of duck soup, his mouth watered and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
This made Qingshi very strange. The store sold chicken soup. He didn't expect that the smell of the duck soup would be as good as chicken soup.
"Here it comes, here it comes." After a while, the old man brought out the hot duck soup and said with a smile: "The soup is here, the soup is here, the soup is just out of the pot, it's delicious."
With that said, the old man served duck soup for Li Qiye and Qingshi, and said with a smile: "Three-year-old duck, blanch it over low heat, cook it in a clay pot, ask for stone water, let the guests have a taste."
When the duck soup was served, Qingshi couldn't wait to drink it, and he drank it without worrying about the image, because just smelling the duck soup made his mouth water.
In the blink of an eye, Qingshi had already drank several large bowls of duck soup. When he looked up at Li Qiye, he saw Li Qiye slowly drinking the duck soup, spooning it into his mouth one by one, very leisurely. , slowly.
Li Qiye was so leisurely and content that Qingshi felt embarrassed and had no choice but to slow down.
The old man stood beside him, and he kept looking at it with a smile. Of course, he was not looking at the bluestone, but looking at Li Qiye drinking duck soup with a smile.
It seems that when Li Qiye slowly enjoys his duck soup, it is a kind of appreciation for his outstanding craftsmanship.
"I want another bowl." Qingshi didn't know how many bowls he drank. In the end, he was embarrassed and asked for another bowl. He felt that his stomach was bulging.
This was the first time Qingshi had tasted such delicious duck soup. It could even be said that this was the best duck soup he had ever tasted in his life, and it was also the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life.
What delicacies and delicacies had he not tasted before? However, compared with the duck soup here, the delicacies from mountains and seas, dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder and dragon liver that he had eaten before were incomparable.
Compared to Qingshi who was feasting on the food, Li Qiye drank with ease. This made Qingshi very embarrassed and had to slow down to avoid reincarnating himself like a hungry ghost.
During the whole process, the old man waited patiently on the side, smiling as he watched Li Qiye drink the soup one mouthful at a time.
"What do you think of this soup?" When Li Qiye had almost finished drinking it, the old man asked with a smile.
"Yes, the craftsmanship is indeed good." Li Qiye said calmly: "You have been making chicken soup all your life, but you didn't expect that your skill in making duck soup is so good."
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, where, where." The old man said with a smile: "If the guest wants to drink, then I can only use my special skills."
"A three-year-old duck is just like that." Li Qiye smiled and said: "In the past, I knew a dead duck that lived old enough. Although the meat was a bit dull and the bones were hard, but if that If you use a dead duck to make soup, I believe it will taste good."
Li Qiye's words made Qingshi a little confused. He didn't know what he meant. He was using a dead duck to make soup.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, you are just joking." The old man laughed dryly and said, "I, I didn't know there was such a duck."
"Understandable, you may not have seen a real duck." Li Qiye smiled and said: "But, I have always wanted to catch this duck to make soup for a change. I heard that it is worth living The longer the duck is cooked, the more delicious the soup will be, don't you think?"
"Well, I don't know about this one." The old man laughed dryly.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you." Li Qiye shook his head with a smile and said: "In such a shabby place, if you are asked to find a dead duck that has lived for such a long time, it will be embarrassment for you. I'm afraid you will also I can’t find it, so this pot of soup is enough for today.”
"That's right, that's right." The old man said with a smile: "It's a small blessing that the guests can understand. It's a small blessing." At this point, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Qingshi listened to such incomprehensible words and didn't understand at all. He didn't know what it meant.
Second update today.
