1975 How much is a roast duck in Beijing?

When I was very young, when I mentioned the capital Beijing, besides Tiananmen Square, I would also think of Beijing Roast Duck. At that time, it was a distant expectation to see Tiananmen Square and eat Beijing roast duck. After graduating from college, although I had no money, I rushed to Beijing for a few days with some friends. I went to Tiananmen Square, which I've always wanted to go to, and ate my dream Beijing roast duck. This dream is also round.

Roast duck, for the average family, may only be willing to buy it on holidays, but now, almost every family can afford it every day. Every time they pass by the roast duck restaurant, there are always people outside. On the one hand, the roast duck is delicious, and on the other hand, it is cheap. In many places, a duck is only a dozen yuan. The roast duck restaurant downstairs in our community 19 yuan.

Speaking of which, many people may ask, it's still the same roast duck. Why does Beijing roast duck cost 198, while the roast duck sold by the roadside only costs more than ten yuan? What is the difference? Today, the pencil necked will tell you about the "catty".

When I was a soldier in Jilin Army 1973, I was on a business trip with my comrades-in-arms and passed by Beijing to change trains. I went to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in Daqianmen with a comrade-in-arms and tasted Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck.

At that time, the business hours of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant were every afternoon 13. There are not many customers, but they are very particular about clothes, not grass gray and blue, so there is no need to queue up. I heard that they have to queue up at night.

At that time, you can buy a whole roast duck, you can also buy half a roast duck, and you can also buy all kinds of ducks in various parts of the small dish in the cupboard.

My comrades and I bought half a roast duck to save face and brought it to us like this. When we cut the duck and put it on the plate, the duck skeleton took the kitchen to make duck rack soup for free. We ate lotus leaf cakes, small plates of duck meat and hemp, drank duck skeleton soup and had an unforgettable meal.

At that time, a whole roast duck 15 RMB, we bought half a roast duck in 8 yuan RMB, which was quite expensive at that time, but it was delicious, satisfying and delicious.

At that time, there were not many people in China who could eat Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck. I felt very satisfied and proud. Later and now, I often eat Beijing roast duck, but I always feel that compared with Quanjude roast duck in the 1970s, it doesn't have the flavor of that era, which may be the reason for the high living standard and high taste requirements.

In short, it was an honor to eat Beijing Quanjude roast duck once in those days, and it was also the most unforgettable thing in my life.
