Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 167 Shen Qing
Under the temptation of delicious food and the urging of his stomach, Shen Qing picked up the spoon, looked at the steaming plate, and stretched out his sinful hand.

Although she was still losing weight some time ago, she has been too busy with work recently, and she is prone to dizziness if she does not eat at night.

But if you just eat some small snacks, your stomach will not be satisfied.

But now she had completely forgotten about it in her mind.

What to lose weight, what to calorie, what to calorie.

All of these are not important, and now his mind is only hungry.

After returning a spoonful of tofu with a spoon, I put it near my mouth and blew it.

During this process, the rich and layered taste of Mapo Tofu penetrates into the nose.

Crazy stimulation of the brain to secrete pleasant dopamine.

At the same time, her mouth began to secrete saliva.

Beautiful women can also drool, but these will not be seen by others, so as not to affect their own image.

She blew gently, and when the heat on the tofu was less, she couldn't wait to put the tofu into her mouth.

Instant hot feeling hit!
But this is mainly due to the heat in the tofu and the spicy mapo tofu.

Whether it is hot or spicy, it is a kind of pain sensation for the human sensory duct, but this pain sensation is not the same as the conventional pain sensation.

For those who can accept chili, this pain will bring pleasure.

It may also be that people have a certain degree of masochistic tendency in their hearts, but these are very normal.

And Shen Qing is just in between the two, that is, he can't eat spicy food but he likes it very much.

Typical food and playful.

"good to eat!"

After entering the tofu, these two words immediately appeared in my mind.

Spicy, delicious, tender and hot, this is Shen Qing's first reaction to Mapo Tofu, and usually tofu can be called delicious if it can meet the first three points.

But the owner of this store can guarantee the tenderness and integrity of the tofu on the basis of spicy and salty.

The stimulating feeling of a mouthful of tofu went straight to Tianlinggai, like a tiny electric current, making her forget the unpleasantness of the whole day.

who am I?
Where am i?

What am I doing?
At this moment, she could only answer the last question.

Eating mapo tofu.

Although it felt very refreshing, at this moment, her body began to sweat directly, and her cheeks were slightly red because the tofu was too spicy.

Chen Nian just watched the reaction of the guests through the glass.

"what's going on?"

To be honest, it was the first time that Chen Nian saw a guest in this state after eating his Mapo Tofu. If it wasn't because he made this Mapo Tofu by himself, he would have doubted that there was something inside the tofu. Is it drugged?

After taking a bite of mapo tofu, Shen Qing quickly took another bite of rice.

But the taste of that bite of Mapo Tofu just now was still lingering in her mouth, it was so crispy and numb, she couldn't wait to take another spoonful.

Blow until warm and put it in your mouth again.

“Very spicy, very spicy!”

That feeling came back again.

Shen Qing hurriedly took his GUUCI small bag, took out a small pack of tissues from it, and gently wiped the sweat on his forehead and nose tip.

Then he held the tissue in his hand and ate a mouthful of rice.

"Boss, when will Wensi Tofu be ready?" Shen Qing raised his head and asked.

According to Shen Qing's usual habits, unless the food was served very slowly when going out to eat, he would not rush the food.

After all, sometimes it's useless to remind you, unless the kitchen forgot about your table, but right now she's the only one in the shop, Shen Qing still couldn't help but speak.

For no other reason, it is really too spicy!

"It's almost there, there is still about 1 minute left, isn't it too spicy? How about I pour you some water first?"

Chen Nian said quickly.

Now he can also see that this guest is because of the hotness, but he will not laugh at others in his heart. Firstly, the relationship between everyone is not so good when they first meet, and secondly, everyone has different physiques.

"No thanks."

Shen Qing shook her head, she didn't want to drink water, the main thing was that once she drank water, she couldn't stop, and after drinking too much water for a while, there would be less food to eat.

"Ok."

Then just watched Shen Qing's eating frequency decrease.

After about 1 minute, Chen Nian took a look to see that the Wensi tofu in the pot was completely done.

Then he served it to the guests, and by the way gave an empty bowl to hold the soup.

At this time, Shen Qing seemed to see a savior, and quickly poured himself a bowl of soup.

But when I was about to drink it, I discovered the mystery in this soup.

The Wensi tofu in the bowl is like a cloud, and the shredded vegetables and ham are embellished to form an exquisite landscape painting.

Just now she saw the whole process of Chen Nian cutting Wensi tofu, but at that time, she just thought that Chen Nian might have learned it before, but she didn't expect Chen Nian to be able to cut tofu to this extent.

"This boss is extraordinary!"

Shen Qing made a conclusion at that moment.

If the store changes its name and decorates the store more exquisitely, it doesn't matter even if the price of these dishes doubles again, as long as it spends some money on some promotion and publicity, people will definitely come in an endless stream.

Just relying on the craftsmanship of the boss, it must be much better than those online celebrity shops outside, at least regardless of the knife skills or the control of the seasoning, the level of the boss is superior, and the craftsmanship will never be out of date.

This made Shen Qing suddenly feel an urge to chat with this boss.

But right now, food is in front of us and we can't be distracted. Cooking is more important.

While Chen Nian was tidying up in the kitchen, he watched Shen Qing take a mouthful of spicy tofu, and then ate a mouthful of rice to suppress the spiciness, and finally drank a spoonful of soup to relax .

Then continue to reincarnate again.

Wiping sweat while eating.

At first, I just wiped my forehead and the tip of my nose. After a while, the paper towel was completely soaked and unusable. I took out another paper towel and wiped the sweat from my temples and the back of my neck.

It was completely different from the appearance when he came in just now, Shen Qing looked a little embarrassed at this moment.

But only Shen Qing knew that not only that, if nothing happened, his stomach would probably turn into a drum washing machine when he went back tonight.

Fortunately, there are stomach medicines at home.

During this process, Shen Qing even added another bowl of rice.

The main reason is that this mapo tofu is too good to eat, and not only is the tofu delicious, eating a piece of beef can also make the lips and teeth full of fragrance.

But while eating, Shen Qing's chopsticks stopped moving.

I am full.

Take a deep breath.

It's been a long time since I've eaten so much, and it's still at night.

Unknowingly, I ate half of this plate of mapo tofu, half of Wensi tofu soup and two bowls of rice.

Although I still want to eat more, I really can't eat any more.

"How much is the total boss?"

"A total of thirty, Alipay and WeChat are on the table." Chen Nian glanced at them and said.

Although he had seen the price before, Shen Qing couldn't help being stunned when he heard that the meal was only 30 yuan.

If this was placed in a big hotel in Shangxing, such a mapo tofu would cost more than 30 yuan.

As a result, it only costs 30 yuan here?

"Very cheap!"

While sighing, he scanned the code on the table.

And Chen Nian looked at the other party's sweaty appearance, not only lamented that everyone is equal in front of food, what do you think of a good girl after eating a meal?

If people who don't know this see it, they will think that we are reluctant to install fans in this store.

At this time, it was still raining outside.

And Shen Qing didn't leave after paying the money, first showed his payment interface, and then asked curiously: "Boss, how long has this shop been open?"

"A few months." Chen Nian said.

"Boss, you must have studied in many places, right? I feel that these dishes are all delicious. Except for the less exquisite tableware, the rest are not inferior to those big restaurants."

"Learning..." Chen Nian thought about his experience of learning these dishes. He went to the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast, went to the ancient times in parallel time and space, and went to study decades ago.
"I have indeed been to many places."

When Shen Qing heard it, it was indeed the case. Unless he visited famous teachers everywhere, it would be difficult to make the essence of these dishes. Although there are many kinds of tutorials on the Internet, sometimes the real special skills of the master chefs will not be announced on the Internet platform from.

Although many food videos on the Internet make exquisite meals, most of them are just imitation creations.

And under the filter in the later stage, it is difficult to look bad.

However, Shen Qing felt that the marketing method of mapo tofu for one yuan set up by this restaurant was also very successful. Although he had never heard of it before, but with the boss's craftsmanship, there would definitely not be fewer people who usually come to eat.

"Boss, there should be a lot of people eating here, right?" Shen Qing asked again.

It's raining lightly outside right now, although there is a car, but I don't want to move when I'm full now, so I just chat with the boss here.

"It's okay, it's mainly everyone's support."

"But why is this store called this name? If you change the name and decorate it properly, it will definitely attract more customers. At that time, you can find some self-media publicity or activities such as Xiaohongshu Douyin. The unit price of the dishes can be sold even higher, and even if the price is a bit more expensive, the diners will still buy it." Shen Qing asked puzzled.

Although it is good to use mapo tofu for one dollar as a gimmick, it is not the most profitable way to do so.

But when Chen Nian heard this, he shook his head.

"It's not necessary. Although the main purpose of opening a restaurant is to make money, I still want to be down-to-earth. At least the neighbors in the neighborhood can afford it, and I don't need to spend too much money when I come to the restaurant next time.

It may cost 10,000+ more for decoration, and the money is easy to earn back, but that will create a certain sense of distance from customers.

This is a bit contrary to my original intention. My positioning for Honghong Restaurant is a restaurant with affordable prices, and now there are many repeat customers, and everyone can eat here very happily. Why not do it? ? "

Listening to Chen Nian's words, Shen Qing suddenly felt that she was getting younger.

The layout is small.

It seems that the boss is also a relatively pure person, as he said, the first purpose of opening a restaurant may be to make money.

But even so, this boss is more interested in cooking than in business.

Perhaps for a chef, seeing customers like to eat the dishes he made is the greatest recognition.

Chen Nian doesn't have much to do right now. Although he plans to produce new dishes, he is still at the stage of thinking about what dishes to produce first.

At this moment Shen Qing talked to him, and Chen Nian happily chatted with him.

However, while chatting with Shen Qing, he found that the other party seemed to be a bit knowledgeable, and it happened that the store was going to be expanded and renovated recently, so he asked: "By the way, my store may open up with the store next door to expand the area after a while, What style do you think will be better when it is decorated?"

Chen Nian didn't have any ideas in his mind right now, so he happened to catch someone and simply asked him if he had any good suggestions.

And Shen Qing himself has nothing to do now. Hearing what Chen Nian said, after thinking for a few seconds: "Boss, according to the dishes in your store now, I think it might be better to cook them in Chinese style, but Boss If you want to be down-to-earth, then I think you can imitate the style of ancient restaurants.

Compared with the Chinese style of the current restaurant, it may be a little crude, but in this way, the price of decoration will not be too high, and it is also down-to-earth. The main thing is to add tables, stools and some decorations in the store. "

Chen Nian thought about it in his mind, and it seems that this is indeed quite good.

At that time, the door at the door will be replaced with an ancient plaque.
great!
"Thank you, thank you, this suggestion is great, I will think about it later."

"It's okay, mainly we have done some similar plans before."

This is nothing to Shen Qing, although she is in charge of the operation, but usually the planning department makes a plan, and then they will touch each other and make some suggestions during meetings.

Finally, Shen Qing thought about it and added a WeChat with Chen Nian.

After all, this store does not open takeaways, and she also thought that if everyone worked overtime together in the future, they would order some meals from here.

Eating these is not better than ordering a pizza, milk tea or something?
It doesn't cost much either.

And you can also come here when the employees have dinner in the future.

When she left, she memorized the remaining dishes that she hadn't eaten, and planned to try them again next time she came over.

After sending Shen Qing away, Chen Nian took all the bowls and chopsticks used by Shen Qing to the kitchen and washed them, then locked the door and went home.

On the way, he was using his mobile phone to look up the decoration style that Shen Qing mentioned just now.

But when I got home, I washed up and lay on the bed. Just as I was about to go to bed, my WeChat rang.

I thought it might be that some of my groups didn't turn on receiving messages but didn't notify me, but after picking it up, I realized it was He Sen.

Look at their previous chat records or two months ago.

They did have a set of conversations at the time.

"Boss, I'm He Sen."

"I am Chen Nian."

Just two sentences.

Looking at the message He Sen sent to himself, Chen Nian was at a loss.

"Master, I originally wanted to keep this matter in my heart, but I feel uncomfortable holding it back. I have been thinking about this matter for the past few days and I can't sleep well, so I still want to ask today."

"what's up?"

Chen Nian replied, but he wondered why this guy suddenly said this. Could it be that he wanted to confess his love to himself?
He has a girlfriend!

And he is a man!

But soon He Sen sent a message: "Master, I just want to ask what is the relationship between you and An Hongdou? But don't worry, even if you are playing friends, I will keep this secret."
