Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 268 Jelly Chicken

A Cai left after eating, and guests began to come to her door one after another soon.

Most of them were dressed in the style of the late Qing Dynasty, only three or two were wearing suits and wide-brimmed top hats. They all sat in the same restaurant and ate without interfering with each other.

Chen Nian felt a little unaccustomed to wearing this dress. When he first woke up, he thought it was the style of the Republic of China period when he saw the fabric.

There is also a melon cap on his head, but because he cut off his braids in old age, he stuffed all his hair into the hat when he was wearing the hat.

Therefore, Qiao and Yong never found out.

I still work in a restaurant, but Chen Nian does not feel boring now, but rather novel.

Most of the dishes sold here are different from what I usually see.

For example, jelly chicken, such as salted egg patties, such as steamed rice with salted fish, such as green peppers or tofu stuffed meat, etc., are all very Cantonese.

Looking at these dishes, Rao opened a restaurant every day, so I can't help but feel a little greedy at this time.

It was hard to wait until there were fewer people and it was the turn to eat the staff meal.

In the past, Mr. Qiao made something he wanted to eat at noon, and then ate it with Chen Nian, but today Mr. Qiao is really too lazy to cook.

Just let Chen Nian see what's on sale today and pick and eat whatever he wants.

But Chen Nian didn't serve himself a meal immediately, but asked, "Shopkeeper Qiao, what would you like to eat, I'll take it for you."

Although Master Qiao is not too old, he is still 67 years old.

Although he is quick-witted, isn't raising a buddy just to save himself trouble?
"Salted egg meatloaf, Laohuo soup, get me some overlord flower."

Chen Nian nodded, and took out a piece of steaming salted egg patty from the pot on the side, and then filled it with rice and placed it in front of Qiao and Yong.

Then I scooped up a bowl of soup from the pot, but I didn't scoop up scallops and chicken feet from the bottom, because it was recorded in the old memory that Master Qiao didn't like most of these, because he thought they were It is the material used to make soup, which is essentially the same as the prickly ash and aniseed used for cooking.

But some medicinal materials are excluded.

For example, Codonopsis pilosula, Bawanghua, wolfberry, etc. are all Qiao Heyong's favorites.

Aging can't understand this point, the taste of these medicinal materials is very strange.

Everyone's taste can only be blamed.

Afterwards, Chen Nian got some jelly chicken for himself under the drive of gluttony. He has been curious about this since just now, and he really wants to know what it tastes like.

These are chicken nuggets from the outside, and even though they were stir-fried in the beginning, when all the aromas were fried, Chen Nian saw that Mr. Qiao poured some liquid into them.

But at that time, the aging distance was relatively far away, so it was impossible to tell whether it was water, white vinegar or wine for a while.

Putting it on the table, Chen Nian first sniffed it inadvertently.

"It smells very fresh. It may be related to the sauce that Mr. Joe put in just now, but it still smells sweet."

Chen Nian analyzed it in his heart.

Then pick up a piece and put it in your mouth.

These few pieces are not cut too big, and it won't be too difficult to pick the meat on them with your teeth, as long as your tongue is a little flexible.

The sweet and salty tastes of this jelly chicken seem to be indistinguishable. If it is said that in the old cooking, salt and sugar are used as the dominant one, and the other is used as an auxiliary to enhance the taste.

But jelly chicken can feel the two flavors colliding in the mouth at the same time.

But under such contradictions and conflicts in a broad sense, Chen Nian does not feel that the existence of any blindness is a bit redundant at the moment.

Just like a girlfriend's personality is changeable, sometimes it's the stern Yujie who reprimands her if she disagrees with her, and sometimes she's the soft and cute strawberry yogurt candy-flavored girl, who acts like a baby and is sweet as hell.

But one day, the girlfriend in the cute girl form suddenly forgot to switch, and directly spoke harsh words in a soft and cute voice.
It stands to reason that the sense of disobedience that should have did not come to mind, but it made people feel even more excited!

This brand-new taste makes Chen Nian can't help but shine!
In addition, the pot was covered and simmered for a long time after the high heat and the chicken was stewed so soft that it almost fell off the bone.

Into the mouth, you only need to gently hold it with your tongue, and then scrape your teeth along the bone, and the lower teeth cooperate with each other at the same time, and the whole piece of chicken will fall off.

The tender chicken is chewy, and with every chew, the juice bursts and splatters all over your mouth.

Passion is accompanied by tenderness, restrained and surging.

After aging the chicken, you have to suck up the rich sauce between the bones.

"How's the taste today?" Qiao Heyong asked.

"It's so delicious! I didn't taste it carefully when I ate it before, but after tasting it today, I realized that the taste is so strange. I think the shopkeeper Qiao was also a famous chef when he was in China."

"Hahaha." Qiao Heyong looked very happy. After all, Chen Nian praised him well, and the use of the word "weird" meant that he was not just bragging, but had thought about it.

What makes people more comfortable than flattering is to hit the point.

"Not to mention famous chefs, at most they are well-known. Although I worked as a handyman for more than ten years at the beginning, I made it after more than ten years. I also interviewed many famous chefs when I was in Jiaying. .”

"No wonder it's so delicious."

Before asking Chen Nian to do a good job, it was Mr. Qiao who looked at Chen Nian again and said, "Do it well, young people are impetuous. When you can calm down, I will consider when to teach you."

"You are lucky. I happened to see you at the time, and you are down-to-earth and smart. Do you know where the guy before you went?" Said Joe and Yong asked.

"Didn't you go to find relatives?" Chen Nian recalled the memory in his mind, Qiao and Yong had always told him so, including neighbors and diners who came to eat.

Unexpectedly, Qiao and Yong shook their heads.

"That's all for outsiders to hear. His hands and feet are not clean. My son took him to the mine to mine with those black slaves. He himself came to Jinshan to pan for gold on credit with the smuggler, just like you. If I hadn't brought him to Chinatown, he would have died long ago, but since he doesn't cherish it, I can only fulfill his wish."

"Some people don't want to be a human if they are given a chance, but they insist on being a pig."

Chen Nian's heart trembled when he heard this, he knew that this pig was a piglet.

At the beginning, the "piggies" were driven ashore by whips, stuffed into a big sack, and the capitalists who wanted to buy labor bargained to buy each other, and then weighed one by one like the "pigs", and the capitalists faced each other The sacks were kicked over to verify whether these "piggies" were still alive.
