Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 100 Invitation

But even so, Fu Xin will still make up all the books he missed because of this.

On this issue, Fu Xin can still tell the difference.

"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" After getting up in the morning, Chen Nian asked while loading tofu on the car.

"I'm not coming back, brother Chen don't care about me, brother Chen, if you meet a shopkeeper Zhang, can you help me ask how much I received for the books I mentioned last time, I'm about to finish reading these books now. "

"Okay." Chen Nian said, and pushed the flatbed cart out the door.

Although the weather is getting colder and colder now, Chen Nian still delivers tofu to Tianning Temple every day.

During this time, Chen Nian learned another sweet porridge made by Wensi.

Moreover, the dish of Wensi tofu has also been slightly improved, that is, when making it, the clear water to be added is replaced with broth.

Although Wensi can't eat meat, Chen Nian will replace it with vegetarian broth when cooking for Wensi.

But due to the limited conditions now, celery, radish, shiitake mushrooms, and soybean sprouts are used for aging.

As for ordinary broth, the price is a little higher. Old age can only make the castrated version. I bought some chicken skeletons from the market. Get a chicken carcass.

It's just that the chicken skeleton sent has only the skeleton on it.

there's no meat at all
But this is enough, add some radishes and a little green onion, and it tastes delicious.

Pushing the cart to Tianning Temple, now when Chen Nian occasionally goes to Tianning Temple, he will bring some extra soup to Wen Si, learn their dishes, and give something in return for whatever he says.

But this time, Chen Nian met Yang Chiqing again.

Listening to their conversation, the meaning is probably the same as before.

"Master Wensi, I don't ask you to do more, just five cases, only five cases per day, you don't even need to go to Ruyi Building, as long as you do it here, I will send someone to pick it up every day, and the reward will definitely be quite good."

Ke Wensi still refused as always, very ruthlessly.

When Chen came, Yang Chiqing greeted Chen Nian and prepared to leave.

But at this time Wen Si suddenly said: "Amitabha, why don't Master Yang stay for a fast meal?"

"Zhaifan." Yang Chiqing thought for a moment, "That's fine, then I'll bother Master Wensi."

But Wen Si shook his head: "It just so happens that Master Chen is also here, how about letting Master Chen cook this time?"

Chen Nian pointed to himself: "Me?"

"also."

Chen Nian readily agreed.

But Yang Chiqing's heart felt cold again. He actually wanted to try Wen Si's craftsmanship when he stayed, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Nian.

Although every time I meet Chen Nian, I will say hello, and when I am in Taoyuan, I will also invite Chen Nian to drink tea and eat snacks.

But that was all a means to get Wen Si to agree.

Chen Nian often sends tofu to Tianning Temple, if he can casually say a few good things about himself in front of Wensi, maybe Wensi will agree with him.

Yang Chiqing wanted to make that dish appear in his restaurant, not just for the sake of selling money, but as a means of publicity once in a while.

Just imagine, it is so difficult to make and so highly ornamental, just like a landscape painting, it is still limited every day.

Being able to eat this dish is completely a symbol of identity and status.

No one else has it, only you have it here.

In this way, Ruyilou will become more famous.

Businessmen are profit-seeking.

Fame brought him far more benefits than selling a dish, and the personal connections it brought were more precious than gold.

But Chen Nian doesn't care about that.

This time, I just brought the freshly brewed vegetarian broth for Wen Si to taste.

After the old age unloaded the tofu, he began to cook skillfully.

Cut side dishes, cut tofu, all in one go.

Chen Nian was cutting tofu while chatting with Wensi about cooking skills and some knowledge points. During this time, they basically talked about these, how to make dishes more delicious.

Yang Chiqing listened with a half-knowledge, and he didn't listen at all!
Because, all his eyes are now on Chen Nian's hands!

This knife skill, this level of tofu!
The way he looks at Chen Nian has changed!
If he only regarded aging as a tool before, now the aging is like a piece of gleaming gold in his eyes!

If you can win Chen Nian over!

Now he is extremely grateful for his decision to befriend Chen Nian.

And speaking of it, I spent less than 20 taels in total!

This is a lot for a poor commoner, but it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket for Yang Chiqing!
Wait until the aging is done.

Yang Chiqing naturally got a bowl as a guest.

Take a sip.

Immediately, the delicious taste of vegetarian broth filled the mouth. The flavors of shiitake mushrooms, celery, and radish were mixed together, and the tofu, which was rooted like hair, made the taste delicate and rich in the mouth.

In this bowl of soup, tofu is both a protagonist and a supporting role.

And the taste of drinking this time is even better than the one I drank here before!

I think it is also because of the soup that was added after aging instead of clear water.

Now in Yang Chiqing's heart, the value of aging is even higher than that of Evans.

Because aging is much more free than Evans.

And only Chen Nian knows the recipe of the broth just now!

After breakfast, Chen Nian left Tianning Temple feeling warm all over.

Chen Nian still walked through the back door, but just a few steps out, Chen Nian heard the sound of horseshoes and ruts turning behind him.

"Brother Chen, please stay!"

Chen Nian turned his head and looked, it was Yang Chiqing who got out of the carriage ahead of time, and walked towards him quickly panting, and as he ran, the flesh on his body also rose and fell rhythmically like waves.

"What's the matter, Master Yang?" Chen Nian asked neither humble nor overbearing.

"It's like this. I own a restaurant. I was amazed and admired Brother Chen's superb knife skills just now, so I took the liberty to invite Brother Chen to cook at my place. The monthly fee is five taels a month. In addition, you can eat and drink as you like in Taoyuan, and you can keep the account, and I will settle it later; if Brother Chen is willing to come, you can only cook this dish, or Brother Chen can cook other dishes, if you have other specialty dishes , the monthly payment can be increased, what do you think?"

Chen Nian heard that the other party's conditions were indeed very high.

Just five taels of silver per month is more than most people.

It is not bad for ordinary people to earn a few taels of silver every year.

And old age is five taels per month, and 60 taels a year!

This is already comparable to the salaries of some petty officials!
And with the popularity of Ruyilou, maybe you can learn other dishes.
"it is good!"

Chen Nian agreed on the spot.
