Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 265 San Francisco Chinatown (reward plus more)
When he woke up, he found that the furnishings in the room were a little worn out, the bedding was a little damp, and the style was a bit familiar.

It's a bit like the social background in my previous dream in Kunshan.

Whether it's the furniture in the house or the clothes you put aside.

So Chen Nian sat up, he knew that it would take a while for the memory to load in, the purpose was to give himself a certain amount of buffer time, otherwise it would be easy to miss something while still in a daze.

In this regard, the recipes are still very user-friendly.

But after sitting up, Chen Nian suddenly discovered a very terrible thing.

That's... What the hell is there actually a braid behind my head!
This.
Could it be that he came to the Qing Dynasty?

Isn't that the end of the calf?
I still remember that period of history clearly!
"No, this job can't be done."

Chen Nian wanted to strike on the spot, but before going on strike, Chen Nian looked inside the house and suddenly found a pile of vegetables not far away.

If there is a vegetable pier, there will naturally be a kitchen knife.

Chen Nian strode over to pick up the kitchen knife, and dropped it on the spot!
"Fuck the pig's tail!"

The ugly braid was cut off on the spot.

drop on the floor.

"unlucky!"

Chen Nian cursed secretly.

At this time, the memories in Chen Nian's mind gradually emerged.

Chen Nian soon realized that he might have misunderstood a little.

Because the current background is not the Manchu period.

It was 1912, San Francisco in the United States!

And now the specific location where Chen Nian is located is Chinatown in San Francisco!
It is also the largest Chinatown in the world!

"Good guy, I'm going to go abroad this time!"

In the past, Chen Nian didn't know much about modern history, but after going to Shancheng and Rongcheng in the 50s, Magic City in the 30s, and Kunshan in the 30s, Chen Nian has a more detailed understanding of modern history. many.

During this period, the United States is still implementing the "Chinese Exclusion Act".

And the words of 1912.
It's still March.

It seems that the Qing Dynasty died last month.

It's just that these overseas Chinese in the United States now either immigrated to make a fortune for the gold rush, or were tricked into working as laborers to build railways and mines, and some women are even more miserable.

But in this general environment, the overall life of these overseas Chinese is basically not very good, except for a small number of people.

And most white people have natural discrimination against people with yellow skin.

Fortunately, there is still a Chinatown, so that these Chinese have a certain living space.

But in general, Chinatown is pretty peaceful.

After all, if you manage yourself, you don't have any political status anyway.

It's just me, and we can always hide if we can't afford it.

Chen Nian's current identity was sold to San Francisco, USA seven years ago.

At that time, Chen Nian had no identity, that is, a black household.

But later, by chance, he was very lucky to be spotted by the owner of this restaurant, and then he stayed to be a handyman.

But at that time it was still a black household.

A year passed like that.

San Francisco earthquake.

Although there were countless casualties in Chinatown, and there was an outbreak of the plague, the earthquake just happened to damage the city hall, and many population files inside were completely destroyed.

At that time, the restaurant owner who adopted Chen Nian actually had some energy, and just took this opportunity to recreate a fake American identity for Chen Nian, which also made Chen Nian live here more securely.

Otherwise, black households are quite dangerous.

Seven years have passed, and the current age is nothing but tall and handsome as always.

And after so many years, Chen Nian finally found out the identity of the restaurant owner who adopted him.

The name of the owner of this restaurant is Qiao Wenyong.

Mr. Qiao is the father of Qiao Tianhua, the current chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco.

It's just that Mr. Qiao doesn't like the easy life very much. He just opened a small restaurant, cooks for himself, and does some small business.

The people here also know the background of this restaurant, so they come here respectfully.

But because the price here is low and the taste is not bad, so in addition to some business people, some laborers occasionally chip in to come to the tooth-beating festival together.

So far, Chen Nian is basically familiar with the background of this time.

Afterwards, Chen Nian looked at the menu again. Since he made the rouge goose breast before the dream, the dog menu canceled the reminder for the next dish.

Also don't know what the dog recipe is afraid of.

But this also made Chen Nian didn't know what kind of food he was going to learn before entering the dreamland.

At this time, the menu also finally showed the task of aging this time.

【Pork with plums and vegetables】

Very good, this is a classic dish in Cantonese Hakka cuisine, which is very consistent with the owner's identity as a Cantonese.

And this time you don't have to look for it yourself.

However, this dish does not need to take too much time to age.

Although this dish belongs to Cantonese cuisine, it has developed its own way in various places, and it has been widely spread. Although it is a little uncommon, it is usually served at banquets, and it is loved by grandpas and aunts. , usually this dish and the stewed elbow belong to the kind that must be grabbed as soon as it is served.

Although some young people also like it, they are not as enthusiastic as the people of the previous two generations.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian went back to the bed and put on his clothes, it would not be a problem to just walk around in shorts.

When he got dressed and went out, Chen Nian picked up the braid from the ground, followed the smell from the yard to the hut and threw it in.

He squeezed his nose and looked inside.

"Hey, it really looks like it."

"Goodbye to you, the Qing Dynasty is dead, you also go into the latrine of history~"

Putting aside the unappetizing words, Chen Nian came from the backyard to open the door, and then began to clean with a broom.

Mr. Qiao doesn't live here. After all, he is the father of the president of the dignified chamber of commerce, so he naturally has a better place to live.

Opening a restaurant is just a hobby.

So it's just old living here and watching.

Usually, Mr. Joe would not come over until the sky was fully lit.

After tidying up all the hygiene, a car suddenly stopped at the door, and soon a person got out of the car and greeted Chen Nian to come out and move things.

These are the people who are arranged by Mr. Qiao's son to deliver food every day.

His identity is a bit like Brother Liu's.

It's just that brother Liu is a brother, and the driver came here as a subordinate.

There are not many ingredients, but there are various kinds.

During this period, only people with some status like the president of the chamber of commerce can get these things.

And this car.
Chen Nian couldn't help sighing that when Li Hongzhang visited the United States, he probably felt desperate when he saw those tall buildings.

Alas, close the country.

Sighing, Chen Nian moved all the ingredients into the supplies.

After a while with the driver, Mr. Qiao came to the restaurant wearing coarse clothes and humming an unknown song.

"Is the restaurant clean yet?"

Chen Nian was taken aback for a moment because he found out that it was in Cantonese.

But this is not the point.

The point is that Chen Nian found that he could understand it!

You must know that when he was in school, Chen Nian couldn't understand the dialect of his classmates in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Every time they chat with each other, Chen Nian can only understand "hahaha".

It seems that the recipe has loaded the language pack for itself again.

　That Cantonese phrase means, is the restaurant cleaned?
