Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 290 I don't want
When Chen Nian opened his eyes the next day, he found that he was already lying at home, and what he saw were the most common old furniture every day, but he felt a splitting headache as soon as he opened his eyes.

I seemed to have drunk too much yesterday.

He just wanted to make a sound, but then he found that his throat was also very dry, as if it was swollen, and it was a bit difficult to speak.

Just about to struggle to get up to get some water, but at this moment a man's voice came from the room: "Chef Chen, are you awake? I'll pour you some water."

It sounded very familiar, but at this moment, my mind was like a mess. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was A Ming's.

With difficulty, he sat up and leaned against the wall, and turned his head to see that it was indeed A Ming.

"Why are you here?"

"Me? It's like this. You drank too much yesterday, and Sister Yun asked me to help you back, and then Sister A Cai also said that I should just stay here and take care of you, and go back after you wake up."

Amin explained while pouring water.

"Well, thank you very much." Chen Nian nodded, and then A Ming came over with a cup of hot water, and Chen Nian gulped it down in one gulp. Only then did his throat get a bit of moisture, and his whole body felt alive. I came over, but my head still hurt a little.

After recovering suddenly, Chen Nian found that there seemed to be some fragrance around his bed.

As a chef, I am very sensitive to taste.

It can be smelled that this is not the smell of perfume, and it is impossible to say which kind of fragrance is aged for a while.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but raised my head and looked at Amin's back: "Could it be the deodorant on Amin's body?"

Some people do have body odor.

Both men and women.

But Chen Nian is still not willing to believe this fact, after all, it is outrageous for him to be able to smell a man's body fragrance.

But he didn't say this, because he looked at the clothes on his body and seemed to be intact, and besides the aftereffects of drinking, he didn't have any other uncomfortable feelings.

After tidying up, A Ming poured some hot water into the washbasin for Chen Nian, told Chen Nian to remember to wash his face after a while, and said that if he wanted to have breakfast, he could go to Yihong Courtyard to eat with everyone and then left.

Since there were no accidents, Chen Nian naturally didn't bother to think so much.

I got up to wash my face, then got some water to drink, and then came to sit in the yard to get some air.

After A Ming left, he returned to Yihong Courtyard, and immediately went to find Wang Chaoyun after he came back.

"Sister Yun, I'm back."

"Well, did he say anything when he woke up?"

"I didn't say anything, just asked me why I was here, but I think he seemed to know something, and I looked a little strange at that time." Amin said with a puzzled look on his face: "Sister Yun, why didn't you let me Tell him about what you did to take care of him last night?"

Wang Chaoyun smiled when he heard this: "It's nothing, I don't want A Cai to know about this, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

After hearing this, A Ming nodded and went back to rest. In fact, he also knew why Wang Chaoyun didn't want to tell Chen Nian about it.

Probably because Chen Nian kept calling another woman's name on the way back after getting drunk yesterday.

It's just that they were muttering at the time, but they didn't hear clearly.

……

The days in the first month passed quickly. Although no one came to eat every day, Chen Nian was studying and researching dishes in the kitchen every day. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Nian finally achieved 100% of the white-cut chicken.

However, even if I go back, I probably won't be able to get this dish out.

After all, there is still a difference between here and Guangdong. Not everyone can accept chicken with bloodshot inside.

As for the pickled meat with pickled vegetables, 99% of it has been stuck, mainly because the old ones always keep a hand every time they make it.

That is the card BUG.

And during the Spring Festival, almost every household in the entire Chinatown is hung with red, and people walking on both sides of the street are beaming. Some people even have two potted orange trees outside their homes.

This tree is also called Nianju.

It will be on sale around the end of the year.

This is also a custom in Guangdong to place such two orange trees, which means good luck.

When I was walking by the pharmacy next door, there were also these two plants at the door there. At that time, Chen Nian was curious and wanted to try one, but the shopkeeper said that it was edible, but it was very unpalatable, otherwise If it was delicious, I would have been bald by you one by one.

In the end, Chen Nian was still unwilling to give up.

The shopkeeper asked Chen Nian to taste one, but Chen Nian revealed his mask of pain on the spot, and spit it out.

Chen Nian originally thought that Mr. Qiao would be back in the first month, but he didn't expect that when they came back, it would already be February.

On this day, Chen Nian still got up early to clean the store.

After cleaning the storefront, I went to the back to clean the yard and Mr. Joe's room.

This is what Chen Nian does every day except for the busy day of the New Year's Eve.

While the old man was cleaning, he suddenly heard the sound of parking at the back door, followed by the door switch.

Finally there was a knock at the door.

But not long after the sound of parking, Chen Nian had already arrived at the door, and the door was opened by Chen Nian just after knocking twice.

"Brother Wang?"

Chen Nian was a little surprised when he saw the person coming. He thought it was Mr. Qiao who had returned, but he didn't expect that it was only Brother Wang.

"Ah Nian, Mr. Qiao is back. He asked me to take you home. He wants to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"You'll know when you go."

Afterwards, Chen Nian didn't ask any more questions, he just went back and simply packed up and changed his clothes, and then got into Brother Wang's car.

It is the first time for Chen Nian to ride in this kind of car. In his impression, this kind of car is usually called a classic car, which can only be seen in TV movies or some museum exhibitions.

After actually sitting in, he found that the gap between these cars and modern cars was not small.

But being able to have a car during this period also shows that Qiao Tianhua really has a lot of energy.

After a while, I arrived at Qiao's house. The gate here is a big iron gate, and the surrounding environment is very good.

Entering it is a garden, and through the garden to a two-story house, the house is two to three hundred square meters by visual inspection.

Looking at Chen Nian's eyes, if he could have such a big house in Chengdu, what would it be like?

Walking through the gate to the house, the home does not look very luxurious, mostly Chinese-style furniture, but it looks very sensual.

And if you look closely, you can see that the workmanship of these furniture is definitely very elegant.

At this time, Mr. Qiao was sitting on the sofa.

"Hehe, it's New Year's Eve." Mr. Qiao said hello.

"Master." Chen Nian stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Come sit down and say, today I mainly want to tell you something."

Mr. Qiao didn't look very well, which made Chen Nian feel a little worried.

"Ah Nian, I came back this time mainly to tell you that I don't plan to run a restaurant. After I went to Los Angeles this time, Ah Hua took me to the hospital to have a look. I found that I have a little problem with my body, which is not suitable for being too tired. Well, the doctor advised me to recuperate at home and go for regular checkups, so I thought about it. If you still want to stay in the hotel, the Guangrong Hotel will be yours in the future. Ahua will arrange for someone to register the land and real estate there for you. Anyway You also have the identity of the United States now, and with Ah Hua here, you don't have to worry about someone making trouble."

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Nian was stunned.

Suddenly, he transformed from a wage earner into a boss, and it was still in a prime location in Chinatown. There were many people coming and going in this place. To put it bluntly, even selling socks here can make money.

At first glance, it was indeed very exciting, but Chen Nian thought about it carefully and finally refused: "Master, I like being in the Guangrong Hotel very much, but that's because you are here, so I don't care about such a large fortune." It’s a lie to say that you don’t want it, but I still worry about you.”

Chen Nian looked at each other sincerely: "Master, can I take care of you by your side? I know that Mr. Qiao is usually very busy. Even if there are servants to clean and cook at home, and someone to look after them, they are outsiders after all. .”

The reason why I say this is because the purpose of aging is actually to cook. If I really inherit that restaurant, I can really cook any dishes I want, but at the same time, aging also knows that there are a lot of seasonings and ingredients in it. You can't get the ingredients yourself.

And opening a restaurant will naturally start to worry about various problems

In that case, the gain outweighs the gain, and Mr. Qiao has taught him for such a long time, so it is really a bit uneasy to leave the old age like this. After all, Mr. Qiao's complexion is not very good when he comes back this time.

Although it is a small problem, but if it is really a small problem, with Mr. Qiao's temperament, no matter what, he will never give up the thing he has loved all his life.

As soon as Chen Nian finished speaking, laughter suddenly came from behind him: "Hahaha, Ah Nian, I knew you would say that."

Chen Nian turned his head and saw that Qiao Tianhua was walking down the stairs and said.

"Mr. Qiao, I am really worried about Master. I still want to take care of Master."

But Qiao Tianhua didn't quite understand: "Why bother, Ah Nian, you are still young, you can save a lot of money by being the shopkeeper of your own store, and then in Chinatown, you can marry whoever you want? It's not impossible to find a girl from the United States if you don't look in Chinatown, and I will hire someone to take care of the old man."

But Chen Nian was still unwilling to give up: "Mr. Qiao, I think even those chefs may not be able to cook the delicious meals that Master wants."

Qiao Tianhua can find someone to do other things, but he can't refute Chen Nian's sentence.

After so many years, he knew that his father's taste is actually quite picky, and he is not very used to the local food here.

Even if you go to Los Angeles, you have to cook at home by yourself.

And the ingredients have to be bought specially.

But Qiao Tianhua didn't know what Chen Nian was thinking at this time.

Although everyone had a good relationship before, this is a big shop after all, not to mention a handyman like Chen Nian, there are not many people in Chinatown who are not envious of the location here.

Even Qiao Tianhua himself didn't want to give this place away if it wasn't necessary.

And Chen Nian actually said no to it.

"Ah Nian, you really have a heart, how about this, since you want to stay, come with me, I have a few words to tell you."

Chen Nian nodded, then glanced at Mr. Qiao and followed Qiao Tianhua into the other's study.

At this time, Chen Nian also knew what the other party probably wanted to say to him.

So he didn't open his mouth and waited quietly.

Soon Qiao Tianhua looked at Chen Nian and said: "Ah Nian, I trust you more, that's why my dad gave you that shop one day. You have been here for several years, so you must know that shop the value of.

So as long as you borrow that shop, your value will be at least hundreds or even thousands of times higher than it is now, so I don't quite understand what you think. "

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Nian thought that his guess was correct, and he already had the answer in his heart: "Mr. Qiao, although I was sold here by my family, and I was also It is true that I want to make money, but it is different now, because Mr. Qiao saved my life. Although I am young, I also know that one cannot be ungrateful.

What I have done these years is not worthy of such a shop, and even if I want to come here to take care of Mr. Qiao, it is only from the bottom of my heart. I wonder if there is a pen and paper here that Mr. Qiao can lend me? "

Chen Nian said this last night and believed it for a while, but after Chen Nian asked for paper and pen, he thought that Chen Nian wanted to replace it with something similar. The old man is worth it.

But even so, Qiao Tianhua still felt that Chen Nian had intentions.

At that time, if the old age request is still reasonable, even if it is worth more than the value of the Guangrong Hotel, he can accept it.

After all, he is just such a father, he can make his father's life better, and he thinks the reward is worth it.

So he directly handed the pen and paper he usually used to Chen Nian.

After Chen Nian took it, he spread out the paper, and then began to scribble and write.

What Chen Nian wrote was an agreement, the general idea of ​​which was that he voluntarily came to Mr. Qiao's side to take care of the old man, and he did not need any remuneration other than food and housing.

Including that we will not ask for any fees during this period in any form in the future.

After finishing writing, he handed this agreement to Qiao Tianhua, Qiao Tianhua couldn't understand it even more.

"are you serious?"

"I'm serious." Chen Nian nodded solemnly.

It's been a long time since Qiao Tianhua admired a person so much. As long as he signed his name and pressed his handprint, it is a valid agreement, that is to say, everything Chen Nian does here is a voluntary act, and he doesn't need to pay any labor. There is no need to give any rewards.

And if they wanted, the Qiao family could even drive Chen Nian out at any time.

"Ah Nian... Do you consider doing things with me?"

Qiao Tianhua suddenly started thinking about this aspect.

But in the end, Chen Nian still refused, because he only wanted to be by Mr. Qiao's side, so that on the one hand, he could take care of Mr. Qiao, and on the other hand, he could continue to use Qiao Tianhua's relationship to help him get all kinds of things he needed. Ingredients.

Faced with Chen Nian's firmness, Qiao Tianhua couldn't help being moved, and agreed to Chen Nian's request.

But at the same time, he also made a decision in his heart. If he really waits until his father is a hundred years old, if Chen Nian is willing to work by his side, then he will be kept by his side and cultivated well. If he is not willing, he will give him the Glory Hotel .
