The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

After a brief interlude, everyone continued to have breakfast.

No one took Du Li seriously.

After breakfast, the family, led by Liu Lingniang and her three sisters, went out.

The troops were divided into three groups.

Liu Ling and Huang Moli traveled by car.

After Zhao Di was responsible for driving the two sisters to the Liu family's former residence, she made a special trip to accompany Yang Luoyan, Huang Moli and their two children to play in the provincial capital.

Wu Yuan felt relieved that Zhaodi was following Yang Luoyan and his two sisters.

Watching the Bentley Mulsanne leave, Huang Haiyang scratched his head and turned to ask Wu Yuan, "Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Wu Yuan threw two old people's heads directly to Huang Haiyang and said: "Take a taxi."

But Huang Haiyang still didn't answer. He held his pocket and said, "Brother-in-law, I have money, I have it!"

Then, fearing that Wu Yuan wouldn't believe it, he added: "I asked Dean Huang for it."

Wu Yuan smiled and said: "Take it, we have to go to many places today, so we have to go back and forth."

"Then I'll take it first, brother-in-law. If you don't use it up for a while, I'll give it back to you."

Huang Haiyang smiled naively, raised his hand to hail a taxi, opened the back door, let Wu Yuan get in first, then squeezed into the passenger seat, kicked his hands into the armholes, sniffed and said, "Master , Pingshi Street.”

Whether it’s roast duck or salted duck, Zhangyun Banana Duck on Pingshi Street is indispensable.

After all, it is a time-honored brand that has been open for more than 80 years.

Even if his roast duck is not a masterpiece, it must be outstanding in its ability to survive to this day.

The taxi driver was a middle-aged man in his late forties. He pressed the meter and said nothing.

In winter in the provincial capital, the air turns into fog.

It looks colder than it would have been ten or twenty years later.

After all, the urban heat island effect is not that obvious these days, and there are not as many high-rise buildings as in later generations, which cannot lock in too much urban heat.

If there is another one or two heavy snowfalls, the coldness will not even be weaker than that of Beigang.

When the taxi arrived at Pingshi Street, Zhang Yun's banya shop hadn't opened yet.

Wu Yuan patted his head, somewhat taking it for granted.

A roast duck restaurant like this is naturally open during lunch and dinner, and is closed the rest of the time. It is only prepared in the store.

Fortunately, at this time, there were already people in the store preparing.

The two of them had no choice but to order a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup in the snack bar diagonally across the street and chat while talking.

Huang Haiyang was quite disapproving of Zhang Yun's duck.

"Brother-in-law, I've eaten duck from this restaurant before, and it tasted just average. If the roast duck restaurant I opened was made like this, would it still sell a ball?"

Before Wu Yuan could respond, the proprietress who was walking back and forth spoke first: "Young man, don't underestimate this roast duck restaurant. There is a queue every day. Sometimes we arrive late and can't buy it."

Wu Yuan nodded and said: "By the way, boss lady, I remember that his braised food is good and very popular. Is it sweet?"

"That's right, that's right," the landlady immediately became a close friend. As she spoke, she wiped her oily apron and said, "You know you understand when you hear it. I really love their braised pork!"

As soon as she said this, the proprietress was called away by the diners who had just sat down.

Wu Yuan turned around and said to Huang Haiyang: "So, the roast duck you make may not necessarily win in all aspects, but it must at least have one or two bright spots. This bright spot is the foundation of your store."

After finishing the duck blood vermicelli soup, Huang Haiyang hurriedly paid the money and chased him out the door: "Brother-in-law, are you leaving now?"

Wu Yuan nodded and pointed: "Take a taxi to Shuiximen."

Huang Haiyang hesitated and said: "Why don't we buy a piece of this piece of duck and try it?"

Wu Yuan turned back: "Since you have tasted it and I have tasted it, it doesn't matter whether you buy it or not. You just need to know its strengths and advantages."

"Okay, let's go to Shuiximen." Huang Haiyang said hurriedly: "They say Shuiximen is the birthplace of ducks in the provincial capital. It just so happens that I have brothers in that area."

Wu Yuan nodded: "That's good. Let's take a good look at Shuiximen later. When it's time, we can have something to eat there."

More than ten minutes later, the taxi bypassed Mochou Lake and arrived at Shuiximen.

When the two got out of the car, they saw that many of the stores on the street were actually duck shops.

It's a pity that none of them became famous and impressed Wu Yuan.

It can be seen that although Shuiximen is the birthplace of ducks, it is also a mixed bag and not systematic.

Wu Yuan turned to Huang Haiyang, who came over after paying, and said, "See, these duck shops can't stay open for long, let alone become bigger and stronger. This is because they lack the foundation to set up a shop."

After ten or twenty years, we can still hype it up by various means.

But now, people's money is very tight.

All kinds of snack bars can only win by taste and quality.

Of course, it’s not difficult to create hype these days, but after all, it’s not a long-term solution.

Therefore, Wu Yuanyan must talk about the foundation of setting up a shop, which is more or less urging Huang Haiyang to find a good master and learn a good craft.

Huang Haiyang nodded repeatedly.

Until a voice suddenly sounded: "Young Master Huang, who is this? The one who made you be so obedient?"

Wu Yuan looked back.

Before he could see what the person looked like, Huang Haiyang kicked him over and said, "Speak with respect, this is my brother-in-law!"

The visitor was kicked by Huang Haiyang, but he didn't turn away. He said with aggrieved expression: "I didn't hear about your sister getting married! Why didn't you invite me to the wedding? Don't you want to give face to your brother?"

"I'm sorry! Apologize to my brother-in-law."

The man just came over and rubbed his kicked butt as he walked.

Only then did Wu Yuan see clearly that he was a tall and thin man with no flesh on his body, but he had a thick tongue.

At first glance, he looks like a joker.

"Brother-in-law, I am blind and do not recognize my true colors. For the sake of Mr. Huang, please spare me this time and come and smoke."

With that said, he took out a crumpled bag of Double Happiness from his pocket and wanted to take out a cigarette.

But Wu Yuan could tell at a glance that there was no smoke in it, and it had long since deflated.

But Huang Haiyang didn't see it.

He immediately said first: "Get out of here, who is my brother-in-law, who can smoke that stupid cigarette of yours?"

As he said that, Huang Haiyang handed a piece of Huazi to Wu Yuan, then turned around and was about to take one out and put it in his mouth.

As soon as he took it out, the tall and thin man snatched it and stuffed it into his mouth. He said with a flattering look on his face: "Let me have a taste of good cigarettes too."

Huang Haiyang didn't argue with him, took out his lighter, flicked it, and handed it over to Wu Yuan to light it.

He nodded and introduced: "Brother-in-law, his name is Ma Gui, and we all call him Ma Gan'er. It just so happens that he has an uncle, Master Ma, who also opened a roast duck restaurant in the alley. Although the business is not good, it suits my taste. .Shall we try it later?"

Wu Yuan said obediently: "Okay, you make arrangements."

Ma Gui was not happy anymore. He came up to Wu Yuan and said, "Brother-in-law, don't listen to Mr. Huang's nonsense. Do you think our surname Ma, in the Spring and Autumn Period, was also the surname of a prince and aristocrat?"

Wu Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Oh?"
