Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 288
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, who knows each other clearly who is playing Liaozhai in front of whom, but even if Wang Chaoyun knew this, he didn't show it.

But there was still a smile on his face: "You can't say that, if it wasn't for him, I might have been thrown into the sea long ago, so speaking of it, he is also my savior. Emphasis on love and righteousness.

Of course, if any older sister or younger sister takes a fancy to him, you can also go and talk about it, and I won't stop it. "

When Wang Chaoyun said this, he also showed his generosity, and also explained the relationship between himself and Chen Nian, and in the whole thing, she actually picked Chen Nian out, after all, she didn't want to really Let Chen Nian have any other relationship with himself.

Although I still admire Chen Nian in my heart.

But doing so would have the least impact on Chen Nian, after all, who would want to be ambiguous with a brothel girl?Although Chen Nian is just a chef, behind him is Mr. Qiao, who dominates Chinatown. Even if he has his own heart, Mr. Qiao will definitely not let his apprentice go down...

When everyone heard Wang Chaoyun's words, they all understood. Although some people were not used to seeing Wang Chaoyun, after all Wang Chaoyun had only been here for more than half a year and he had already gained A Cai's respect.

And the jealousy between women is sometimes very heavy.

Just watching Wang Chaoyun say this, they couldn't say anything sarcastically, and A Cai naturally knew that Wang Chaoyun didn't want to be controlled by her.

But it doesn't matter, after all, everyone is independent, and she doesn't expect Wang Chaoyun to give up on her with just a few words, anyway, she just needs to let everyone know what she means.

Let them know that although they and they are women, women are different from each other.

Afterwards, Ah Cai asked people to come in to clean up the house, and then asked the others to leave first.

After Wang Chaoyun left there, he returned to his usual resting place. This place is very clean, and it can be regarded as their own private space. Although they usually pick up guests every day, the room where they pick up guests is the guest room.

After returning to the room, Wang Chaoyun did not wipe off the makeup on his face, but sat in front of the mirror and began to pick up the rouge and water powder to touch up his own makeup.

The color on my lips faded when I was eating just now, and I also sweated a little, so it is natural to add some color again at this time.

After putting on makeup, Wang Chaoyun took off his clothes and came to the cabinet naked.

This is a vertical cabinet, and there are many clothes neatly hung inside, some are usually used when receiving guests, some are used for performing talents, and some are used for daily wear.

Then Wang Chaoyun began to pick things up here.

After about 10 minutes, Wang Chaoyun chose the clothes, put them on carefully for himself, and then stood in front of the mirror and checked them carefully.

After confirming that it was correct, Wang Chaoyun came to the middle of the room, humming an unknown song, and his waist, body and arms began to dance softly.

The waist is slender and nimble like a water snake, and the twists and turns are full of countless amorous feelings.

When raising his hand, the somewhat loose gauze sleeves slid down from the forearm to the elbow, revealing the moon-like wrist.

But if Chen Nian was here, he would definitely feel that this dance looked familiar.

Because this is the dance that Chen Nian accidentally saw A Cai dancing in the house on the way to deliver rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The night sky in Chinatown is very quiet, but in a house in this small courtyard, there are people constantly humming unknown songs, and there are also sounds of rising and falling breaths.

……

After Chen Nian returned to the restaurant, he went to the front to clean up again, wiped the table, and then went back to his own house.

Mr. Qiao and Mr. Qiao will go to Los Angeles for about a month. By then, the New Year will be over, and it is estimated that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will also be over.

Because tomorrow is the new year.

Although Chen Nian knows that the small year in the north is mostly the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, but the small year in Sichuan where he is located is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and Guangdong should also be the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

But generally when I am at home, I will eat sesame candy during the New Year, and the meals are more abundant.

But richness is richness, but there is nothing that must be eaten.

"Forget it, let's go out tomorrow and see if there are any sesame candy sellers on the street."

Thinking of this, Chen Nian slowly closed his eyes. Although there is no mobile phone in this world, and there is no way to listen to cross talk to sleep, Chen Nian is already used to this kind of life.

He can hum himself a little song to lull himself to sleep.

……

In a blink of an eye, it is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

This number suddenly appeared not because Chen Nian slept for so long, but because the days in between did not have too many ups and downs, so there is no need to use too many words to describe it.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, Chen Nian used the ingredients sent by A Biao to practice what he wanted to learn.

And the white-cut chicken has also been re-improved. It was too bad before, probably because of empiricism. Later, Chen Nian also asked the people nearby. Although they are not cooks, they all come from Guangdong. Yes, naturally very familiar with boiled chicken.

Therefore, after re-understanding this dish, Chen Nian cooked it according to his newly realized method, and found that the score has improved, and with the improvement of this progress, the taste of the white-cut chicken is indeed much better .

And although Ah Biao came here every day to deliver ingredients, he actually ate two meals here after the first day.

It will be Chinese New Year's Eve tomorrow, and A Cai from Yihong Yard next door has sent someone over to invite Chen Nian to cook with them on Chinese New Year's Eve. You can just tell me what ingredients you want to use, and then Let them get it back.

And Chen Nian also agreed, after all, apart from these people being able to provide them with ingredients for free practice, they also mentioned a condition that made Chen Nian particularly excited.

give money.

Although many masters may have cleanliness, and they don’t even look at this kind of behavior of giving money directly, Chen Nian doesn’t have this kind of cleanliness. If you give money directly, can it be money?

That is an affirmation of my cooking skills!
And with so many people in Yihong Courtyard, at least three tables of dishes have to be cooked, right?
At that time, there will be three practice opportunities, and there is no need to worry about wasting food.

Even if they can't finish eating today, they will continue to eat tomorrow.

And since San Francisco and Los Angeles are not far away, Mr. Qiao sent someone a message when he came back, telling Chen Nian to celebrate the New Year here, and he will be back in a while.

And Chen Nian also said a few words again for the visitor to take back.

Then I started hanging lanterns, pasting couplets, and cleaning at the door alone.

Busy from morning till night.

All the glass has been wiped clean, and the doors, door frames, window sills, various corners, and places that are prone to dust have also been cleaned spotlessly.

And this whole day of cleaning work made Chen Nian tired and unable to straighten up.

But the results are gratifying.

In some places, it has long been annoying to see them in old age, and this time they can finally be dealt with.

But today I can only rest for a while, and tomorrow I will be busy all day.

After all, we have to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner at night.

A Cai also made a lot of money this year, so in order to reward everyone, let everyone continue to work hard to make money for her in the coming year, so it can be regarded as spending a lot of money, and directly asked Chen Nian to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner according to a higher standard.

And Chen Nian was not polite, and directly brought over some of the dishes from the birthday banquet, and the remaining half were not suitable for the banquet, such as longevity peaches, longevity noodles and so on.

And these old dishes are replaced with other dishes that I know how to cook, such as braised pork, white-cut chicken, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, and the like.

Originally, the cook from Yihong Courtyard came to help Chen Nian.

At first, the other party was obviously not convinced. Although he knew that his cooking skills might not be as good as Mr. Qiao's, he had been cooking for more than ten years anyway.

Ah Cai actually let such a brat replace her as the head chef, and instead let herself help. Isn't this just an apprentice doing odd jobs for Mr. Qiao?

I heard that even if he was accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Qiao, it would only take half a year.

After all, foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures.

But this thought only lasted until he saw Chen Nian pick up the kitchen knife.

The skillful knife work, the exquisite planning, every movement is just right, and every seasoning is put in the same amount, without even a trace of consideration.

At first, he was a little disbelieving after seeing it, but after he tasted it secretly, he realized that apart from those ingredients that need to be added many times in cooking, it is really a step to add seasoning to other dishes. In place!
You only need to use your eyes to tell the amount of those seasonings.

Moreover, the thickness of the meat cut out by the superb knife skills of the past is exactly the same.

Because Chen Nian was not in the Guangrong Hotel at this time, nor was he facing Mr. Qiao, so he had nothing to worry about, and directly displayed his full level.

But during the whole process, Chen Nian found that the cook's level was really bad. Even if he had been cooking for more than ten years, his technique was like a layman who had just learned two or three years.

Even Xie Yu, who has been in the same business in his store for a short time, is much worse than Xie Yu, and it is even more incomparable with Jin Dachuan.

So he was not involved in any critical steps, but he was asked to wash vegetables and process some ingredients that did not need to be so precise.

Even so, Chen Nian took the time to cook them a lunch at noon.

Everyone could smell the smell here before they got to the kitchen, and after entering, they saw that the dishes were not at the same level as usual.

Normally, although the chefs in Yihongyuan cook meat and vegetables, the meat dishes are all fatty meat slices, and the vegetarian dishes are salty. I won’t talk about knife skills, but you can’t always cook meals that can be cooked. Swallow it as a standard.

And I don't say that every meal is delicious, but you have to make delicious meals for at least two or three days a week, which can also make people think a little bit.

So when they all ate the big pot rice made by the old age, they couldn't help feeling in their hearts: "So it's not that the big pot rice is unpalatable, but that I have never eaten a delicious big pot meal before!"

Compliments while eating.

And A Cai didn't tell them that A Cai was going to prepare a big meal for them on New Year's Eve, the purpose was to give them a surprise, but at this time these people all felt that this was the New Year's Eve while eating lunch.

"Are you coming to our place to cook in the future?" Someone suddenly asked.

But Chen Nian smiled and shook his head, looked at the other party and expressed regret, and explained that he was only here to help this time, if he wanted to eat in the future, he could go to the Guangrong Restaurant, the food made by Mr. Qiao was much more delicious than his own, And the price is actually not expensive.

Some of them had eaten in Guangrong Restaurant, and they couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard this. Although they all ate their mouths full of oil at this time, they always subconsciously felt that Master must be better than him. Apprentice cooks better.

"By the way, everyone eat first. I have to go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes for dinner. There is a big meal waiting for you tonight, so I suggest that you don't eat too much at noon and save some stomach for the evening."

As soon as Chen Nian finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up!
"Is it better to eat at night than now?"

"Really? Tell the truth! Even if I still eat this at night, I am willing, after all, what you cook is much more delicious than our cook!"

The original cook of Yihong Courtyard's face turned black when he said this, but he had no choice but to feel a little embarrassed and panicked, and felt a little embarrassed.

If he followed his previous temper, he would definitely be the pick, but the young man in front of him is a disciple of Mr. Qiao. Although everyone is a cook, his status is higher than his own.

If I dared to touch him today, when Mr. Qiao came back after a while, I would have to tear myself apart, put him in a sack and sink into the sea!
They are all out to make a living, so just bear with it.

In the afternoon, Chen Nian was a little bored in the kitchen, and the things that should be prepared were basically ready, so he just had to wait until the evening to start cooking.

So I decided to go for a walk around.

Having said that, Chen Nian has never visited this kind of place well yet. Although he won't be able to experience the special services here, at least he can see what it's like here.

But when Chen Nian was walking around aimlessly, he suddenly saw Wang Chaoyun who seemed to be talking to someone not far away.
