Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 266 You Are Too Young

But that's good too, otherwise the motherland's language is extensive and profound, and no one dares to say that they can understand all the dialects.

"It's all cleaned up." Chen Nian said quickly.

"En." Qiao Heyong nodded, looked around and expressed satisfaction.

This hotel is called [Glory Hotel].

In addition to the about [-] square meters of dining space for guests, the kitchen is a little bit behind. Speaking of it, the kitchen is actually suitable for the restaurant next to it, and it can be regarded as a semi-open kitchen. After that is a small courtyard. There are four rooms, one is where Chen Nian lives, and the other is where Mr. Qiao rests.

The remaining one is a storage room and the other is a utility room.

Soon, Chen Nian and Mr. Qiao went to the back kitchen to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Since the ingredients here are complete, the price is not expensive, and the environment is relatively clean, there are many people who come to eat every day.

Unlike my own at Honghong Restaurant, the kitchen here basically does not have chili peppers.

And there are not many types of seasoning.

But there are many side dishes.

What caught Chen Nian's attention the most was the big jar in the corner, which contained preserved vegetables.

"I have been here overseas for so many years, that is to say, this jar of plum vegetables can make you feel at home. You can't find this kind of thing in Millikin."

Mr. Joe said with emotion.

Chen Nian heard that Mr. Qiao was feeling emotional, but since he lives here and has a way to bring these things from China, it means that Mr. Qiao also has certain channels to learn about domestic news.

Although I still miss my homeland now, it is obviously not a wise move to go back at this time.

However, since Mei Cai was mentioned at this moment, Chen Nian thought about it in his mind, why not take the opportunity to raise his own needs, after all, it is not difficult to talk to Mr. Qiao all the time, although he is a bit strict in the kitchen, but this It's normal. In comparison, Master He is so strict.

If you don't see this kind of personality with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that a person has such two completely different personalities.

"Shopkeeper Qiao, speaking of Meicai, the braised pork with Meicai you cook is really delicious. I don't know when I will be able to cook like you."

"Want to learn?" Mr. Qiao is currently selecting seasonings to prepare soup.

As a Cantonese, Mr. Qiao is very fond of Laohuo soup.

It is the way of life of the old Cantonese to prefer to eat without vegetables and not to eat without soup.

And fortunately, he is in good health, and he doesn't suffer from gout or the like.

Every morning, Master Qiao would start to cook a pot of Laohuo soup, with different tricks every day.

For example, today, Chen Nian saw that it was Bawang Chicken Soup.

In addition to Bawanghua, chicken feet, chicken necks and the like, ginger, candied dates, salt and some seafood are also added.

Those look sun dried.

If nothing else, it should be some scallops, dried oysters, dried shrimps and the like.

Usually Cantonese like to use these ingredients to make soup and porridge.

Back to the point.

Faced with Master Qiao's question, Chen Nian naturally knew what to say at this time. Anyway, wanting to learn technology is not a shameful thing to say.

"I want to learn." Chen Nian nodded honestly.

But then Mr. Qiao's face became meaningful in an instant, but he quickly shook his head: "Wait a minute, I was a buddy for more than ten years before the master was willing to teach me, You are too young."

As soon as Chen Nian heard this, he knew what it meant.

Qiao Heyong is different from the masters he had studied under before. Even if he met Master He before, he was considered lucky. Although he had a bad temper when teaching himself, at least he was not wary of himself.

At the very beginning, Master Xue also taught himself with confidence.

Although Master Xie was unwilling to teach himself the dish of braised pork at first, but later it was in exchange for Xie Ruoyun being admitted to Fudan University, but later Master Xie really regarded himself as one of his own, and even later When I was in trouble, I called someone to rescue me.

In fact, these masters are all ordinary people from a certain point of view, and they all have their own gaps.

Master Xue has no children in his life. Master He's son has been missing for more than ten years. Master Xie wants his daughter to become a success.

But Mr. Joe is different.

Mr. Joe's son is the president of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco. Basically, he can get anything he wants here. He also enjoys opening restaurants every day, and he has no regrets in his life.

Except that his wife is gone, Chen Nian can't be Mr. Qiao's wife either, it's not suitable.

Therefore, Mr. Qiao naturally does as he pleases.

Besides, for Mr. Qiao, Chen Nian was a buddy he adopted casually at the beginning. It can be said that without Qiao and Yong, Chen Nian might have died of an accident. It was Qiao and Yong who gave Chen Nian a full meal.

It was also Qiao Heyong who gave Chen Nian the identity of being based in the United States.

It doesn't matter if you don't teach Chen Nian.

Old age still needs to be grateful for this.

However, after Chen Nian heard this, he just sighed slightly in his heart and didn't complain, because this is actually the normal state of apprentices in ordinary restaurants.

But the only thing that makes me feel a little uncomfortable is that the identity and background are arranged by the recipe, but the result of being grateful to Dade has to be repaid by myself.

"Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry, I will do well." Chen Nian finally nodded and said sincerely.

"Forget it, it's nothing, isn't it just over ten years? Stay away!" Chen Nian thought to himself that he hadn't stayed in the dream for such a long time before.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian decided to calm down and stay for a while, thinking it was an in-depth experience of going abroad.

Otherwise, Honghong Hotel is so busy, how can I have the time to go abroad.

And if I say that, the other party will not drive me out, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian was still a little nervous.

But at first, Qiao Heyong thought that Chen Nian was simply dissatisfied, and that it was too easy for young people to be high-spirited.

Turning his head to look at Chen Nian again, but looking at Chen Nian doesn't look like this.

"It's ok."

Seeing Chen Nian working hard with a trace of guilt on his face, Qiao and Yong also nodded.

He sees old worries as guilt.

I thought to myself that this child is still sensible, and he said what he should say, and he didn't feel too frightened when he said something wrong, but there was a faint worry in his eyes that he would be blamed for saying something wrong.

It is not easy to be so down-to-earth at such a young age, and still have such thoughts.

But Qiao and Yong still won't teach what they know easily.

Church apprentice, master starved to death.

How many people seem docile on the surface, but they are full of scheming behind the scenes.

even if not now
Who can tell in the future?
In this way, it was noon, and soon the first guest of the day came to the door.

But unexpectedly, the person who came was not a laborer who was about to come to the toothbrush festival, nor was it a businessman living nearby.

It was a woman, a beautifully dressed woman.
