Chapter 825: Her Purpose

Jian Yichen didn’t think too much about it. Roast duck was fine. He liked roast duck, too.

She hailed a taxi, and the two of them sat side by side in the backseat. Jian Ai said to the driver, “Driver, let’s go to Haichuan Road in Huagang District.”

Jian Yichen looked at Jian Ai in confusion. After a while, he couldn’t help but say, “You’ve been to the capital before?”

Jian Ai paused and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I’m very familiar with this place.”

Jian Yichen looked enlightened. No wonder.

In 2002, the traffic in the capital was not often congested. On the way, they passed by many famous buildings. They were also landmarks in the capital in Jian Ai’s previous life.

Haichuan Road, Huagang District.

There was a famous roast duck restaurant here called Shangyige Roast Duck Restaurant.

Unlike those high-class roast duck shops, this roast duck shop was in a very inconspicuous corner of Haichuan Road. However, once they entered Haichuan Road, the entire street could smell the fragrance of fruit-wood roast duck.

The shop was not big, and a little dark, but it was very clean. There were no seats for customers to sit and eat inside because the customers who came here would do takeouts.

At this moment, it was already past the peak of the afternoon queue. There were only a few people waiting for the Peking duck at the window of the shop. Preparing Peking duck was a technical job. The skin and flesh had to be separated, and the bones had to be removed. It was time-consuming and laborious.

“This is it?”

Standing outside the shop, Jian Yichen sized up the inconspicuous dark shop in surprise. His expression and tone were filled with doubt.

Moreover, it was such a remote roast duck restaurant. He was also curious about how Jian Ai discovered it.

Jian Ai expected Jian Yichen’s reaction and couldn’t help but promise, “Don’t worry, it tastes very good.”

Jian Yichen sighed in his heart but didn’t show it on his face. He initially wanted to treat Jian Ai to a Western or Japanese meal, but he didn’t expect to be brought to such a roast duck restaurant.

A roast duck here should be very cheap.

He didn’t mind that the roast duck was too cheap. He just expected Jian Ai to go to a better place.

“Boss, we want a roast duck. Salt and pepper with the duck chops please,” Jian Ai said to the boss, who was wearing a white work uniform, a hat, and a mask.

The boss looked to be in his forties. Although the shop was small, he paid special attention to hygiene.

“Alright, wait a moment, young lady,” the boss greeted her warmly.

Jian Ai said, “Boss, we’re from another city. Can we eat in your shop?”

“No problem!” The boss agreed readily. He turned around and shouted, “Xiaoman, a customer wants to eat in the shop. Attend to them.”

“Coming!” A cheerful female voice came from behind. Then, a fifteen-year-old girl ran out in a dark sports suit.

The girl was about 1.6 meters tall and was slightly thin, but her big eyes were exceptionally lively.

The moment Jian Ai saw her, she froze on the spot, and her eyes turned red.

Yang Xiaoman was her roommate in university and the first good friend she had made at university.

Eating roast duck was secondary. Her goal was to see Yang Xiaoman.

Although they did not know each other now, in Jian Ai’s heart, Yang Xiaoman was a good friend she had known for two lifetimes.

Yang Xiaoman pulled open the small door at the side of the shop and waved at Jian Ai and Jian Yichen. “Come in from here.”
