Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 210 Beggar
"it is good!"

The beggar applauded loudly.

It is indeed a famous Kunqu opera troupe in Kunshan. It is not easy to sing Kunqu opera to become famous. It is even more difficult to become famous in the birthplace of Kunqu opera. Therefore, this is enough to prove the professionalism of Li Fuchun and others.

It can be seen from Qin Xiangyun's perfect performance.

After another 10 minutes or so, the play was finally finished, just in time to take over yesterday's No.40 "Introduction to the Tao".

After the performance, Li Fuchun and others didn't have any expressions on their faces, because they were still wearing costumes and makeup on their faces, so they are now the characters in the play, and everything must be done according to the character of the characters in the play. .

Playing a serious character while the actor himself is joking is punishable.

For example, if someone is playing Guan Gong, they are not allowed to speak in the backstage without removing their make-up, and they have to wash up before the performance.

If you are playing the God of Wealth or the God of Joy, you are not allowed to look up and talk in the mirror, and those who wear a king hat and a straw king helmet are not allowed to sit in the same box.

But Du Liniang and Xiao Hua had happy smiles on their faces, and they were not affected as musicians.

And it is also the first time for them to participate in the play from this angle.

This performance can be said to be one of the happiest performances in their acting career.

Although it was said that the person sitting below was just a beggar who was unkempt and even disheveled, but no matter what the identity of the other party was, since the other party was sitting under the stage, he was a spectator.

The viewers are happy and satisfied, which is a great recognition for them.

Moreover, Li Fuchun didn't come out to check the identity of this person before, and when he came to the stage after the music started, he didn't stop when he saw the identity of the other person.

These are the rules of singing.

Once you speak, you can't stop, because there are not only people listening to the opera, but also many ghosts and gods. If you stop singing halfway, you will be blamed by your ancestors.

And in ancient times, they were called opera singers, the lowest low-class, so they must not be picky about the audience, no matter who came to the theater, they should be treated equally.

After listening to the opera, the spectators will naturally leave.

When Chen Nian came over, the beggar had some embarrassment on his face at the moment.

"Benefactor, I..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Nian asked.

The beggar pointed to the assortment of melon and fruit snacks, melon seeds and peanuts, candied fruit shop, tea and other food on the table: "I have eaten so much from you, but I don't have that much money... benefactor, can you give me credit first?" , I took advantage of these few days to go out to beg for food, and I went to look for it again. Many people have fled. There should be a lot of things at home that I haven’t had time to take away. I’ll pay the debt in a few days.”

When he spoke, he was a little awkward, with an apologetic smile on his face, bent over, and returned to his usual humble and cowardly manner, directly putting himself in the lowest position.

But Chen Nian smiled: "Just give me some. You are our first guest here today, and there are rules in the Chunyu Class. The first guest who comes here just needs to give some, you don't need to give them all."

The beggar had doubts on his face when he heard this: "There is still such a rule?"

"Yes, you haven't been here before, we have a lot of rules, so you can pay as you see today, and give as much as you want."

The beggar's face suddenly revealed a look of surprise, and then he took out all the money on his body, but none of it was a big ticket.

It can be seen that he must have spent a lot of effort to save the money.

Bits and pieces jingled and fell on the table.

"Benefactor, this is all my money."

Chen Nian looked at the money and didn't refuse it, because he knew it was the dignity of the other party.

If he only took out half of the money on his body, then Chen Nian might only leave the smallest note, and then return all the rest.

But now that the other party directly took out all the money on his body, it meant that this person did not want to take advantage.

Although it sounds like a beggar, but at the moment he is more like a person who really came to watch the show.

He also knows the value of this scene, and the value of this table of food.

At the same time, he also knew that after taking out all the money, he might be hungry.

But even in this situation, he still took out all his wealth.

Chen Nian respected such a person, so he collected all the money.

"But you can take all these food away. After all, you have eaten them all. You can't give them to other guests to eat. We will throw them away when we take them back. It will inevitably be wasted."

After sorting out the money one by one, Chen Nian said again.

In this way, it can be regarded as giving back to the other party. After all, judging from the age, this table can be eaten for a day or two even if it is full.

If you save some food, it will be no problem for three or four days.

Although the money can make the beggar live longer, as long as he finds a way to compensate him later.

After eating, I always have to beg for food. Anyway, there is still a lot of food in the back kitchen, so it's okay to prepare it for the beggar for a while.

After all, the Chunyu class has a rule about the kitchen, which is to allow the cook to take a little.

Even though he said before that he would not take it, he would not say anything if he took Li Fuchun in this situation.

After hearing that, the beggar was not only grateful.

Although he has never been here, he probably knows the price of listening to a play in the Chunyu class. The money he saved is not enough just to enter the garden, let alone so many snacks and tea.

But Chen Nian let him in to listen, and gave him so many things to eat and drink.

He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

And after it was over, he asked himself to take all the food away.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor!" Now he completely regards Chen Nian as a benefactor in his heart.

"No, no, no, that's fine, we're leaving too. I'll give you a package in a while, and you pack all these things."

It was not too early after listening to the play, and Chen Nian couldn't go to the vegetable market.

But even if you go to the vegetable market to buy old-fashioned food, it is mostly food to be used for storage.

They still have food for lunch, so there is no need to buy extra.

But when Chen Nian packed all the food for the beggar, he sent him out and watched him leave.

When Chen Nian returned to the kitchen, he saw Jin Dachuan sitting there.

"Master Jin."

"Are you back?" Jin Dachuan said while taking out a folded paper from his clothes and handing it to Chen Nian.

Chen Nian took it and squeezed it, it was quite thick.

There must be seven or eight cards in it.

"what is this?"

"Here are all the recipes for the dishes you want. In the past few days, you can take a look at the contents above to get familiar with them. You can also compare them when you cook them, so as not to forget them."

When Chen Nian unfolded it, he saw that it was indeed the method of making a dish.

Written in great detail.

And looking at the neat and neat fonts on the paper, Chen Nian couldn't help but look at Jin Dachuan with admiration.

Unexpectedly, this master Jin looks very big and three thick, and his handwriting is pretty good.

like a little girl.

They all say that their words are like their own, but I didn't expect that Master Jin also has a girlish heart.

"How is it? I can write this word, right? Before I learned to be a cook, I also went to school and studied, but then my father thought that I had no future in studying, so he just brought me back and gave it to my master. Then I worked in the kitchen for more than 20 years."

These words made Chen Nian not only find some sense of identity.

It's pretty similar to myself.

But I came back on my own initiative and did not choose to continue my studies.

"Master Jin, if this is the case, then we will have soup at noon, and I will make Wensi tofu, and then I will tell you all the tricks."
