Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 267 A Cai
"A Cai, are you here? What do you want to eat?"

Mr. Qiao raised his head to see the person, then greeted and asked.

And the woman named A Cai didn't look at the menu on the wall and ordered directly: "Jeji chicken, what soup is the shopkeeper Qiao today?"

Boss Qiao said with a smile: "Today is also Lao Huo's soup, Bawang Chicken Soup. The woman drank it to nourish blood, nourish qi, and beautify her face. How about a serving?"

"Okay." A Cai nodded, and then walked to a table with exaggerated steps and sat down.

Although I heard that A Cai has been working hard to speak Cantonese, Chen Nian can still hear that what the other party is saying seems to be not up to standard, but now in San Francisco, there are some people who can eat, that is, Cantonese and Hakka The dialect is the same as the Shanghai dialect.

And at this time, Chen Nian also remembered some memories about A Cai.

At the beginning, A Cai was also deceived, for the so-called dream of getting rich, just like the American dream 20 years later.

But after I came, I found out that it was all a scam.

Here, there is no such thing as the so-called American dream of getting rich.

There is no such thing as gold everywhere.

The only thing that didn't deceive her was that the development here was far ahead of the East.

But none of this has anything to do with her.

Because, after going ashore, she was directly handed over by the smuggler to the gang in Chinatown, and then began her career as a prostitute.

There are many other women like him.

In China, they are called Sister Hua, and those in the fireworks restaurant are called fireworks.

But Ah Cai, who was bought in San Francisco's Chinatown, was called a "pig flower".

At that time, the man who was tricked into selling here was called "piggy".

But among these "pig flowers", Ah Cai is undoubtedly lucky.

Because A Cai came here with a slender figure, fair skin and beautiful appearance, she was very popular in Chinatown, and because she was so popular, most of the single miners in San Francisco at that time knew that she was called A Cai. As long as A Cai came out to pick up customers, they would They left their jobs very excitedly, and came to see her from hundreds of miles away. Those who have money can spend the night with her, and those who don’t have money can take a look at her from a distance. Girls from the motherland must feel very kind.

So her price is an ounce of broken gold for about $18 a night.

Therefore, even if she went out to hand in the part, she had made a lot of money in just a few years.

Later, she became independent from the gang, took an opportunity to return to Hong Kong, and boasted that San Francisco is a place where people can get rich, and finally brought more than 40 girls here, and she became a madam who was sitting and counting money.

That is to say, A Cai will only come out to pick up customers when regular customers or people with certain identities come to roll call.

After ordering, Qiao Heyong gave orders, and Chen Nian quickly filled the jelly chicken ordered by A Cai from the pot.

Served rice in another bowl.

"Sister Ah Cai, your food."

Mr. Qiao came out of the pot with the rich and rich old fire soup.

For Guangrong Restaurant, Ah Cai is obviously a regular customer, and now she is not short of money, even if she comes to Guangrong Restaurant every day, she can still afford it.

Therefore, Ah Cai and Chen Nian are familiar with each other.

However, Ah Cai feels that today's old age is a bit different, because old age was very shy in the past. Although he was tall and handsome, he basically just hid in the back kitchen, and basically didn't speak even when he came out.

Even when A Cai came, the other party didn't even dare to look at her.

But today, Chen Nian actually talked to himself!

This made her curious.

"Xiao Nian, you are not young anymore, you are eighteen this year, right? My sister has nothing to give you, why don't you go to my sister's place another day, my sister will find you a beautiful one, and if you break the baby, I will give you a red envelope ?”

Chen Nian: "???"

"Sister Ah Cai, don't be joking, I still have to look at the store." Chen Nian said with a little embarrassment. Indeed, these few words directly broke Chen Nian's defenses, and made him somewhat uncomfortable when he was young. .

"Yo, the little guy is quite ambitious, why don't Sister Cai come here in person?"

"No, no, thank you, Sister A Cai, for your kindness. I just don't have such thoughts now. I just want to work hard here and repay the shopkeeper Qiao."

It's not a question of free or not.

It's not about red envelopes or not.

It's not a question of thinking that white knives can't go in and red knives can't come out.

Not to mention that she wanted Sister Acai to come in person.

Although this may sound incomprehensible to some people, Chen Nian is somewhat psychologically obsessed with cleanliness. Although he does not discriminate against these women outside, it is quite contradictory if he really wants that, and he has no feelings for each other. Some pedantic, but the existence of such people cannot be denied.

Chen Nian is such a person, he feels that there are some things that he can only do with the people he likes.

But sister Acai refused when she saw Chen Nian, thinking that Chen Nian was shy.

So even more interested!
"Shopkeeper Qiao, what do you think?" She looked at Qiao and Yong again.

But although Qiao Heyong didn't say anything to the guests, they were not willing to let Chen Nian get in touch with these women, even though Chen Nian was just a clerk in the shop now.

"Miss A Cai has a heart, but this kid is naturally introverted, and he is not used to contacting women. From now on, I'll look at finding him a marriage with a decent girl."

A Cai immediately understood the meaning behind Qiao Heyong's words.

But don't mind either.

"Okay, then Mr. Qiao will definitely invite me to have a wedding wine." A Cai just let the matter go with a coquettish smile.

Chen Nian returned to the kitchen to help.

For Chen Nian, the girl from Sister A Cai's place may not be as attractive as the plate of jelly chicken that was just served.

After all, this is the first time I have heard of this dish.

It's like a new version of a favorite toy.

When Qiao and Yong were cooking in the morning, they also met Chen Nian. The ingredients used were chicken nuggets, which were first marinated with seasonings, then added cornstarch to wash, then marinated with seasonings, and finally the vegetables were put into the pan and stir-fried over high heat.

But some of the seasonings are old and I can't figure out what it is.

Because, most of the seasonings are directly locked in the cabinets in the kitchen when Joe and Yong are not in the kitchen.

Old age can't be seen at all.

There are some spices that you have no idea what they are without looking, smelling, or even tasting them closely.

Because there are too many similar ones.

For example, there are so many kinds of peppers, and the taste will be different if they are used differently.

It seems that Mr. Qiao has a lot of things in his mind!

As long as I stay here, I can learn all those things sooner or later.

So far, Chen Nian is full of hope for the days to come!
It seems that this time I can use this to break through the gap of Cantonese cuisine, which is also one of the eight major cuisines.

And judging from Qiao Heyong's attitude just now, he is not completely indifferent to himself.

　Thank you for the 1500 starting point coins that the gods hate and the ghosts hate.

　　Thank you for the reward of 1500 starting coins to be happy every day.

　　Thanks to the two, the boss spent money~

　　The jelly chicken was eaten when Chen Vinegar was working in Guangzhou. There is an uncle and aunt in the shop. They are very nice and cook old soup every day. Sometimes they will give me soup or give me an extra serving when I get used to it. Meat to eat, Chen Vinegar was not yet married at that time, after my aunt heard about it, she said that she would wait for my wife to invite her to dinner.
