or

this famous dish "Beijing Roast Duck" which is familiar to everyone in China. I didn't expect that there are similar ducks in France that the French are proud of.

"What's the number of the duck you ate?" Behind this well-known slogan in France is an ancient restaurant that has been famous all over the world for centuries-"Silver Tower". Since the first duck was baked more than 4 years ago, Yinta Restaurant has made ducks up to international standards, attracting celebrities from all over the world. So, what makes the ducks here different? Founded in 1582, Yinta Restaurant is located on the Seine River in Paris. The restaurant's signature dish is called "Blood Duck", and its raw material is a famous duck produced in the Loire River area, which has been famous for its delicate meat quality since the 17th century. And the process of duck cooking on the table is more like a grand performance. The most unique feature is that the duck blood is squeezed out in a special container, and the liquor is used as the base, mixed with duck liver sauce and duck soup and heated. Thick duck breast slices, stained with sauce, taste like fireworks, leaving people full of fragrance.

Although "Blood Duck" smells good, diners from all over the world come to Wan Li to eat not only the taste, but also the unique number of each duck. It turned out that as the "blood duck" became famous in that year, there were also fake "blood ducks" in the French market using the brand of Yinta. In order to deal with counterfeit goods, the head chef in the restaurant came up with a brilliant idea: number every duck cooked, note it on a card, and serve it with the duck. This not only makes it impossible for counterfeiters, but also makes the "blood duck" eaten by each guest truly become a "unique" famous dish. Later, someone even made a special trip to get a "chinese odyssey" Geely Duck. In the "Book of Famous Ducks" of Yinta, celebrities from all walks of life around the world gathered: Duck No.328 became the first "famous duck" because it was at the table of King Edward VII of England in 189; President Roosevelt and President Roosevelt enjoyed the Silver Tower Duck No.33642 and No.112151 respectively. No.253652 became a guest of the drama master Chaplin. In 23, Yinta Restaurant held a grand celebration for the release of the 1 millionth duck. Although the cost of dining here is quite expensive (it costs about 6 yuan RMB to order a duck), the restaurant is still full of elegant guests at night, and the "blood duck" tastes long and fragrant.

While world celebrities are written into the history of the Silver Tower, the Silver Tower has been remembered for a long time with their anecdotes, and even the restaurant owners have become a legend in French history. When World War II broke out, the Germans occupying Paris closed most French restaurants. Due to the popularity of Yinta Restaurant, the German army made an exception and allowed it to open as usual. Old Tehaye, the owner of the restaurant, was unwilling to serve the Nazis, but in order to protect the cultural heritage of the restaurant for hundreds of years, especially the aged red wine in the cellar, which was regarded as a national treasure of France, he had to bear the burden of humiliation. He pretended to compromise on the surface and privately told his son to keep the rescued red wine secret. These lucky wines have now become priceless. The brave father and son also vigorously assisted the French underground resistance organization in its activities. The German officer who was drinking and drinking in the dining room had no idea that the important information that he spoke freely at the dinner table had been memorized by Tehaye and his son and passed on to the resistance group unnoticed. Because of this, the father and son repeatedly made meritorious military service and won the cross medal. Later, the records of the Duck during the war were sealed as secrets. However, according to the French newspaper Le Monde, many of the guests in that period were French political figures, such as the current President Jacques Chirac, who was "recorded".

in p>1958, a small museum was opened on the ground floor of yinta restaurant. All the utensils and appliances displayed in it are of great significance in the history of French cuisine. In the souvenir shop opposite the Silver Tower, duck decorations of various materials are displayed: from glazed ducks in Molano to crystal ducks in Bacara and St. Louis, it seems that major European brands have a soft spot for the Silver Tower. Even the handle of the wooden umbrella sold is carved into a lovely duck head, which seems to be asking with wide eyes: "What number of duck did you eat?"
