Chapter 115: There are naughty kids around, get out of the way!

"Wow~ The winter in the imperial capital is really cold!"

Su Chen exhaled, and the hot air instantly condensed into white mist and dissipated in the air.

Originally, Su Chen was playing with his mobile phone leisurely at home, and accidentally saw a video...recommendations about the capital's delicacies.

I don't know what he was thinking... His brain suddenly cramped, and he took Chen Fei out in the drizzling snow, under the pretext of experiencing the winter scenery of the imperial capital.

Actually, I just want to try the snacks around Shichahai and the roast duck in Wangfujing.

Who said that the Imperial Capital Roast Duck is so famous and Su Chen is a food lover?
I have been in the imperial capital for such a long time, but I haven’t even tried the must-eat delicacies in the imperial capital. If this gets out, won’t Su Chen lose face?

After coming out of the courtyard, Su Chen discovered that Shichahai in winter had a unique flavor.

Due to the continuous cold weather for several days, the surface of Shichahai Lake was frozen, and many people were skating on the wide ice.

"Chen Fei, do you know what that is?" Su Chen pointed at the ice surface where many people were sitting on something that looked like a stool and skating.

Chen Fei looked in the direction of Su Chen's finger, and when he saw the object clearly, a smile appeared on his face.

"Sir, what you're talking about are all ice skating chairs made by residents near Shichahai. They are modified from ice carts and made from some unwanted wooden stools. It costs basically nothing!"

Su Chen understood what was going on after hearing this. It should be a toy that the older generation came up with for convenience and cheapness.

"You know what, this thing is quite interesting. Let's go and try it when we have time!" If Su Chen hadn't already decided to eat Imperial Capital Roast Duck, he would have gone down and skated a few laps no matter what.

Su Chen had also skated when he was in school, but it was the kind that used roller skates and inline skates.

This is the first time I’ve skated on ice, let alone skated while sitting on a chair.

"Candied haws, candied haws, delicious candied haws, ten dollars a string!" A quick shout drew Su Chen's attention back.

Looking at an old man carrying a haystack filled with all kinds of candied haws, the bright red ones make people particularly appetizing.

The food was so delicious that Su Chen couldn't help but licking his lips.

Chen Fei, who was standing by, also saw Su Chen's little move and quickly shouted, "Uncle, give me two strings of candied haws!"

"Okay~" The old man selling candied haws came over in three or two steps after hearing the call. He was so fast that it was hard to tell that he was in his forties, not to mention that he was carrying a stack of straw weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Tanghulu is relatively affordable, costing ten yuan for a string of about seven or eight fruits.

It tastes sour and sweet at first bite, just like the taste of childhood memories.

The two of them ate and walked around like this, and it took them more than half an hour to walk from Shichahai to the Drum Tower. On the way, Su Chen bought some food, such as mung bean cakes and donkey rolls.

Especially the donkey rolls, Su Chen had never seen them before and thought they were made of donkey meat. But when he saw the real thing, he found out it was just a pastry. However, the donkey rolls were really delicious.

"Sir, you've eaten so much, can you eat the roast duck later?" Chen Fei asked with some confusion as he looked at the five or six bags in his hands.

Su Chen was also a little proud when he heard this, "Do you think I walked for more than half an hour in vain? I just wanted to digest the food and make room for the roast duck behind!"

After saying that, he looked at the bags in Fade Chen's hands, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Fade Chen, you have to finish what you have in your hands, you are not allowed to throw it away!"

Chen Fei fell silent after hearing that. It turned out that this was the reason why he didn't let him drive when they went out. Besides, weren't these snacks in his hand all bought by you, sir? How come they are all mine now!
"What are you still standing there for? Get in the car!"

Hearing Su Chen's shout, Chen Fei came to his senses and saw Su Chen sitting in the passenger seat of the taxi looking at him.

"Here I come~" Chen Fei immediately opened the back door and got in.

The taxi driver seemed to recognize their foreign accents and immediately became more enthusiastic. "Two handsome guys, are you here to travel in the capital? Where are you going?"

A standard imperial capital accent.

"Master, let's go to Wangfujing!" Su Chen responded with a smile.

"Okay, you two sit down, let's go!"

The driver was a native of the imperial capital and was very talkative. As soon as the car started moving, he started talking non-stop, sharing with Su Chen and the others the capital's food, attractions and more.

He knows which restaurant’s mutton hotpot is delicious, which restaurant’s buns are fragrant, and which restaurant looks grand but actually targets tourists from other places. He is simply a ready-made tour guide.

Su Chen also learned that the driver had several houses that were compensated for demolition in the third and fourth ring roads of the capital, and that he came to drive a taxi because he couldn't sit idle at home and loved to drive a taxi, so they finally decided to drive a taxi.

While being busy, you can also chat with passengers, listen to interesting stories shared by others, and introduce the capital's food culture to tourists.

It's the best of both worlds.

Drum Tower is not far from Wangfujing, and they arrived at their destination in less than twenty minutes. When the two got off the car, the driver enthusiastically handed Su Chen and his friends a business card, saying that they could call him directly when they needed a taxi, as he was basically in Dongcheng District.

Su Chen held the business card in his hand, looked at the taxi driver who was leaving, and said to Chen Fei beside him with a smile: "Who said that Jing Ye is arrogant? Isn't he very kind!"

After looking at the business card in his hand, Su Chen did not throw it away, but handed it to Chen Fei and asked him to put it away!
Quanjude, a time-honored brand in the capital!
Founded during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, it has a history of more than 100 years. Quanjude Roast Duck can be said to be a major business card of the imperial capital. In the early years, roast duck was a must-eat delicacy for many foreign dignitaries when they came to the imperial capital!
The two of them went directly to the private room on the second floor and chose a room facing Wangfujing Street.

Su Chen ordered a set meal for two, which included a roast duck, a soup, salted duck liver and shrimp balls. Together with the room fee, the total cost was 888, which was quite an auspicious number!

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the door of the private room opened and a middle-aged man in chef's uniform and a waiter walked in pushing a food cart.

After the waiter brought the soup and side dishes to the table, the middle-aged man said, "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am your exclusive slicer. Shall we start now?"

Looking at the roast duck on the dining car, its surface looks greasy, plump and full, shining with an attractive luster, and the fragrant smell is refreshing, making people salivate.

The chef was seen skillfully slicing the duck meat with a knife and arranging them neatly on a plate. He also took out a basket of steaming noodles from the dining cart. Side dishes such as shredded green onions and yellow guang had already been placed in front of Su Chen and the others.

Su Chen skillfully spread out the dough, picked up two slices of duck meat, dipped them in sweet noodle sauce and placed them on the dough, then added some shredded green onion and cucumber, rolled them together and put them in his mouth.

"Hmm~" Quanjude's roast duck gave Su Chen a completely different feeling. The skin was crispy, the meat was fragrant, and it was fat but not greasy. Su Chen couldn't help but roll six of them. When the chef saw Su Chen's speed, he increased his speed in slicing duck meat by several points.

Now Su Chen also understood the meaning of the saying "You are not a true man if you have not been to the Great Wall, and it is a pity if you have not eaten Peking duck." It would be incomplete if you did not eat the authentic Peking duck in the imperial capital!

A whole roast duck plus two side dishes and a soup is just right for two people!
"Waiter, pack up a roast duck for me to take away!" Su Chen said, wiping his shiny lips.

The waiter who was helping the chef clear the table immediately stopped what he was doing and asked, "Sir, can I have the roast duck sliced ​​for you?"

"Slice it! Remember to add more ingredients!"

Su Chen specifically asked for refills of green onion and cucumber shreds twice when eating just now.

The waiter nodded and left the room.

Quanjude’s packaging speed is quite fast. After waiting for less than ten minutes, the waiter came in carrying a large handbag.

"Sir, your roast duck takeout is ready. It has been kept warm and will taste the same as in the store within an hour!"

Chen Fei took it from the waiter swiftly. The total cost of this roast duck and the accompanying dishes was 1156, which seemed to be a reasonable price!

After paying the bill, Chen Fei walked in front with his takeaway, ready to go out to hail a car. Just as he opened the thermal insulation curtain, a small figure rushed in and bumped into Chen Fei directly. The little boy was bounced back and hit the door frame, and the takeaway roast duck in Chen Fei's hand also flew out and fell to the ground.

"Wow~~~" a cry rang out instantly.

"Oh, my dear grandson, are you hurt? Who walks without watching? Did the adults at home tell you to walk like this?" A wailing voice suddenly rang out.

A plump middle-aged woman walked in quickly from the door. She saw the crying child leaning against the door frame, checked the child and found that there was nothing serious. Then she turned to look at Fade Chen.

"You little bastard, you hit my grandson?" The middle-aged woman grabbed Chen Fei and started to scold him, her fat hand directly hitting Chen Fei's face.

Chen Fei couldn't stand it when he saw this, so he just pushed the middle-aged woman to the ground with his backhand.

The middle-aged woman fell heavily to the ground and screamed in pain, "Ouch, someone is beating someone, come quickly, someone is beating an elderly person!"

It only took a few seconds from the time the child bumped into Chen Fei to the time Chen Fei subdued the middle-aged woman, and the Quanjude service staff had not yet reacted.

Hearing the wailing of the middle-aged woman, a man who looked like the lobby manager of Quanjude came over quickly with several service staff.

When the lobby manager saw the scene, he felt his scalp tingling.

He knew that the most difficult people to deal with in today's society are children and women, and if they are not handled properly, it will have a bad impact on Quanjude.

The lobby manager knew that the situation was rather tricky, but he still had to face it, so he stood up and persuaded, "Sir, let's talk it over. Let this lady go first!"

"Let me go now, you little bastard, you raised me as your own!" The middle-aged woman felt more confident now that someone had arrived, and her words became even more unpleasant.

When Su Chen heard that the little girl raised him, his brows immediately frowned. He had some understanding of this sentence.
People in the old imperial capital called girls in "brothels" "girls". The one who raised a little girl was scolding him for being a bastard and not knowing who his father was.

Chen Fei didn't quite understand whether the old woman was scolding him, but he was sure that she was not saying anything nice. Moreover, he saw that Su Chen frowned and didn't ask him to let go, so he simply ignored the lobby manager of Quanjude and deliberately used force with his hands, causing the old woman to scream in pain.

After all, the lobby manager was a worldly-wise man and he soon discovered the clues.

"Sir, could you please let that person go first!" The lobby manager came up to Su Chen and said in a pleading tone.

Su Chen glanced at the lobby manager coldly. He had experienced a lot of such things when he was delivering food before. In the end, no matter whether he was right or wrong, it was his own fault. He had the mentality of "I can't afford to offend, but I can't hide from it."

"Can you guarantee that the old woman won't make trouble when she gets up?"

The lobby manager saw that many people were blocking the door, so he gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

After getting the guarantee from the lobby manager, Su Chen gave Chen Fei a look. Upon seeing this, Chen Fei let go of the old woman and quickly stepped back a few steps.

As expected, after the old woman was released, she immediately wanted to retaliate against Chen Fei, but Chen Fei had already dodged three or four meters away.

The old woman's eyes moved slightly when she saw this, and then she lay on the ground and started to throw a tantrum again, "Hey, everyone come and see, a few little beasts bullied an old woman like me, and even beat my grandson, is there any law?
The old woman was crying and shouting, her screams were so heartbreaking that people who didn’t know would have thought her husband was dead!
Su Chen ignored the old woman's distress and looked calm, as if he was watching a play.

The lobby manager was also very angry at this time. Seeing the old lady crying like this, Quanjude must be popular today.

"Stop howling there. I've called the police. We have surveillance cameras here. When the police get here they'll know what's going on!"

The lobby manager didn't want to ask what had happened, and thought it would be most appropriate to call the police directly.

Sure enough, the old lady shut her mouth the moment she heard what the lobby manager said. She also knew that her grandson was running too fast and bumped into someone and fell down.

But how could she admit her mistake? She was very experienced in this regard. She would cry, make a scene, and then throw a tantrum, but in the end she still had to apologize and pay compensation.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, she heard the voice of her beloved grandson beside her.

"I let you eat roast duck, I let you eat it!"

The little boy who was crying loudly before had gotten up from the ground at some point and walked to the roast duck that Chen Fei dropped, stomping on the portable thermal bag with his little feet.

When Su Chen saw this scene, a smile appeared on his originally calm face.

Originally, even if the police came, they would just appease each other, or ask Chen Fei to apologize to the old lady from the perspective of the vulnerable group. After all, he subdued the old lady, although it was for self-defense, who told her that the old lady was a vulnerable group!
But now the little boy's behavior has put the initiative of the matter into Su Chen's hands.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's true that like parents, like children!"

The old woman was also very relieved when she saw her grandson's behavior. She even cheered him on, "Good grandson, well done, that's it, step on him a few more times!"

This scene stunned all the onlookers.
