Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 289 New Year's Eve Dinner

Chen Nian didn't say anything after seeing it.

Instead, he chose not to alarm them.

But he didn't notice when he left. At this moment, Wang Chaoyun glanced this way subconsciously, and just saw a piece of clothes corner, she recognized it as Chen Nian.

"Okay, that's it, you go back first." Wang Chaoyun said to A Ming.

"Okay, Sister Yun, when the time comes."

"You can come to me when the time comes." Wang Chaoyun nodded.

Then the two parted ways.

Apart from old age, no fourth person knows.

In this way until the evening, the kitchen was always steaming.

Dishes came out of the kitchen one after another, and then delivered to the table outside.

At this time, there were three large tables in the main courtyard of Yihong Courtyard, except for some guys who were busy serving dishes, everyone else was basically here.

And there were already several dishes on the table at this time.

When had they ever eaten such a dish?When they were in China before, they were all suffering haha, but after coming to the United States, the living environment is only a little better.

But after all, they are still workers.

So it's just a little bit better.

At this moment, seeing these exquisite dishes on the table, the eyes are shining one by one. Although the light is a bit poor at night, the color of the dishes is not as good as that in the daytime, but the taste is enough to make up for the shortcomings.

There were ten people sitting at a table. Although everyone tried their best to maintain a certain amount of restraint to prevent themselves from looking too ugly when serving a dish, they soon discovered that even if they didn't grab it, others would not give in to them.

In this way, the result can only be that you eat less than others.

The more harmonious one is the table where A Cai is at. After all, all the cooks on this table are women, so even if they think it tastes delicious, they just praise it and eat a few more mouthfuls.

So this table is in stark contrast to the side.

Chen Nian was constantly busy in the kitchen, and he didn't shy away from the accident in Yihong Court during the whole process, because he was not afraid of the other party's learning at all.

Of course, the main reason is that Chen Nian felt that with the opponent's level, he would not be able to learn even if he watched the whole process.

What masters need to guard against is masters.

That's why Jin Dachuan left Chen Nian alone, even if he asked Chen Nian to learn later, he had to let Chen Nian exchange his own things.

If he had been an ordinary chef at that time, Jin Dachuan would definitely not shy away from aging after finding out the details, because even if his level is not enough, he may not be able to learn it even if he asks the other party to watch him.

Just like that, after Chen Nian finished the final dish, the chef took the initiative to take out two dishes: "Master Chen, I will help you take out this one."

"Okay, I've worked hard tonight." Chen Nian nodded and said.

And the chef couldn't help slandering in his heart after hearing this: "Is there any mistake? You are the one who just arrived, okay? It's as if I was the one who was temporarily invited to help."

But he wouldn't say that.

The other party took two copies.

Chen Nian took the rest of the meal and walked outside, but the chef quickly walked two steps after seeing Chen Nian coming out, and then came to A Cai's table first.

"Come on, girls, it's time to serve!"

Seeing the opponent's actions, Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, wondering if this senior was afraid of taking credit for himself?So deliberately go there first.

"It's really boring. Wouldn't it be nice if this person could put this desire to win and lose on things that can improve himself?"

Afterwards, Chen Nian brought this dish to the table where A Ming was.

"Come, come, brothers, the last dish."

Although what he said was similar to the other party, compared to the girls over there who were chatting enthusiastically while getting out of their way without even looking at the cook, everyone on Chen Nian's side seemed much more enthusiastic.

"You two make room, Chef Chen is here to serve the dishes in person, what are you doing sitting there in the way?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't see it. Chef Chen gave it to me. I'll let it go."

"Chef Chen worked hard at night, your dishes are delicious."

"Yeah, Chef Chen has been busy all day, and he must not have eaten tonight, or he is with us."

But before he could finish his sentence, he found that except for the last dish served on his table, the other plates were empty.

There wasn't even any soup left.

But at this moment, A Cai who was on the other table suddenly looked over here: "A Nian! Come on, come to us, the girls are reserved for you~"

As soon as these words came out, the people at the table looked enviously at Chen Nianbao.

They are all people who have been here all day, and what they heard meant something different from what Chen Nian understood.

【The girls are all kept by you】

Sure enough, it is good to have a skill.

So happy.

"Then A Cai." At this time, the cook of Yihong Yard also looked at A Cai with a flattering smile, obviously he also wanted to sit at this table to eat.

But his words just fell.

The people at the third table couldn't sit still.

"Serve the food! Where's the food! Why don't we have the other two tables?"

Only then did the cook realize that he still had a dish in his hand.

"I can't sit down anymore, you go to that table to eat." At this time, A Cai also said.

Finally, Chen Nian sat at this table.

And this time the atmosphere was obviously better than the last time, because Wang Chaoyun said everything before that, so Wang Chaoyun was much more relaxed.

Seeing these Yingyingyanyans talking to Chen Nian constantly, Wang Chaoyun found that there was no disturbance in his heart at this time.

This is not true as she said last time.

It was because she felt that it was absolutely impossible for Chen Nian to like these people.

However, Wang Chaoyun suddenly felt a strange feeling at this moment.

She suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table, and asked in a tentative tone, "Ah Nian, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone is happy too, how about a drink?"

After hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help raising his head and looked at Wang Chaoyun: "Okay."

As for Wang Chaoyun, Chen Nian felt that this girl was okay.

At least I won't hurt myself.

As for the aging of others, I can't believe it.

After hearing this, Wang Chaoyun was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on his face, like a red peony that wanted to let go but was ashamed, with a slightly smug look.

She clearly remembered that the last time A Cai wanted Chen Nian to drink, Chen Nian explicitly refused.

But this time, Chen Nian agreed.

Seeing that Chen Nian was willing to drink a little, all the girls couldn't help but look forward to it. Only A Cai's face flashed a gloomy look for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Since Ah Nian is willing to drink some wine, why don't you hurry up? We can eat so well today, all thanks to Chef Ah Nian!"

But compared to everyone's enthusiasm, Chen Nian still wants to see how his dishes are cooked.

Among them, the white-cut chicken has also made great progress after a period of practice.

And after sitting down for a few times, and asking the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy next door, Chen Nian realized that he might have gone in the wrong direction.

So when I made it this time, it was not boiled for a long time.

Just turn on the fire and scald with boiling water.

That is, after putting the chicken into the water, turn off the heat and soak it in boiling water.

Although the ones made before are also tender, tender and tender are not the same thing.

The tenderness of white-cut chicken should be the original taste. If it is boiled for a long time, although the taste is very fragrant, and the chicken soup is also very delicious, but then the chicken will lose its original tenderness.

That is to say, it is stewed and soaked in water, so that the chicken will have the original flavor.

And after making it in this way, the soup is undrinkable, and it can't even be called soup, it's just water with a slight fishy smell.

The so-called can not have both.

Therefore, the chicken made this time is more tender than before, but the chicken is more elastic and better than the last time.

Too much powder and Dai will appear to cover up.

And I also learned about aging in the dipping sauce, it is best to use sand ginger, but at this time I am in the United States, so there is no such thing, so A Biao didn't say much last time.

This was what A Biao said later when asked by Chen Nian.

After tasting the white-cut chicken, Chen Nian turned his attention to another dish.

【Crystal Meat Hoof】

This is a cold dish, and most of the time it is called crystal meat. This dish is actually a specialty of Zhenjiang, but everyone belongs to Jiangsu, so Su cuisine cooks from other places can also make it.

Moreover, this dish is one of the top ten classic dishes in Jiangsu.

It's just a little cumbersome to do.

But cooking is such a thing, how can you not do it because it is difficult?

Therefore, Chen Nian intends to conquer this dish first.

It happened that there were no cold dishes in Honghong Restaurant.

This dish is also very popular on the table, and it was served first, so there are only three or four cold pieces left.

Pick up a piece of crystal meat and put it in your mouth.

The slightly cool feeling comes, which is the characteristic of this dish.

And it will feel slippery when you eat it for the first time. This is because the dish itself is made of hoof bones. First, it must be marinated in advance, and then it will be boiled after adding various seasonings in the pot.

In addition, turn over and cook for a morning. Finally, take out the hoof meat, scoop out a small amount of marinade, skim off the slick oil, pour it on the hoof, and then press it with a heavy object. After cooling through, it is ready to serve .

When it's time to eat, cut and serve.

And when eating, it is best to prepare two small dishes.

Fill one plate with shredded ginger and the other with balsamic vinegar.

Zhenjiang's balsamic vinegar is also a specialty, but it tastes sweeter, which is not the same as Shanxi's mature vinegar in this respect.

Zhenjiang vinegar is brewed from glutinous rice or rice, and then turned into vinegar through the magic of acetobacter.

Shanxi Old Mature Vinegar is vinegar fermented from sorghum as the main ingredient.

It is worth mentioning that in the new standards for mature vinegar implemented later, vinegar that can be called mature vinegar does not need to be marked with a shelf life, because vinegar with high acidity can be stored for a long time in a cool environment at room temperature.

Back to the point.

At the moment, Zhenjiang vinegar is used in the crystal meat dish.

And the smooth one is the "skin jelly" that naturally forms after the marinade has cooled.

One bite, the full elasticity seems to make Chen Nian cheer for it.

At this moment, Chen Nian didn't know why, but thought of the dancing girl again.

Although it has come to mind countless times when eating other dishes before.

But this time is different.

The image that came to Chen Nian's mind this time was a girl in a sequined dance dress and a pair of hot pants.

Elastic skin, tight thighs.

The waist twisted with the music, sometimes bent down, and then the slender and slender fingers passed the calf with the fingertips all the way through the thigh, buttocks, waist, chest, and accessory breasts.

Fascinating.

Although it looks cold on the outside, after entering the mouth, the outer layer of jelly will soon melt under the temperature of the mouth, and the taste of the marinade soaks in the meat inside, making Chen Nian think of it a poem.

"Turn into spring mud to protect flowers."

But Chen Nian felt that this word should be changed:
"Skin jelly is not a ruthless thing, it is more moisturised when turned into a marinade."

Although it sucks, Chen Nian also feels that he is just a food major, so it's not bad to be able to come up with this kind of food.

Regardless of the marinade, the meat of the crystal meat is pliable and not greasy, not fat or greasy.

The taste is also very good.

After all, he hadn't had much contact with this kind of dish before, so he was already very satisfied with being able to do this this time.

As for the other dishes, I also tasted them, but I didn't feel too surprised.

Compared with before, there is some progress, but it is not as great as the progress of crystal meat.

While eating, Chen Nian ignored the envious and jealous eyes behind him, after all, he was the only man sitting at this table.

But as they ate and ate, the people at those two tables gradually left.

They eat fast, and they serve a plate of light. Although there is wine, there is not much, so there is no need to sit if they have nothing to eat or drink.

It's just over an hour before the new year.

So naturally find something to do.

Chen Nian drank about [-] liang or so, mainly because these people took turns pouring water, the whole person drank dizzy, could not see things clearly, and the whole person barely supported himself by leaning on the table .

Seeing that there were no other people, A Cai saw that Chen Nian was dizzy from drinking again, so she said, "Ah Nian, why don't you just stay here at night, you will be alone in your small yard, there are so many of us Girl, if you fancy someone, go and stay overnight. If you want to make it lively and want two or three, these girls are also willing."

Words are full of hints.

But Chen Nian seems to be a little confused at this time. At this time, each of these girls wears their own characteristics, but from the Internet, on the white neck, there are large pieces of crystal meat!
That is to say, Wang Chaoyun's face appeared faintly on one of the meat dishes.

But still not so clear.

"sleep?"

"Sleep with them?"

To be honest, Chen Nian felt a little disgusted in his heart.

After all, who would sleep with a piece of meat!

"No, no, no." Chen Nian quickly waved his hand, and said to a large piece of meat on the side, "I'd better go back. Hiccup."

Talking about Chen Nian, he also had a wine hiccup.

Then he leaned on the wall by himself and wobbled towards the outside.

A Cai originally wanted someone to go up to help her, and by the way, Chen Nian was helped to a girl's room, but at this moment, Chen Nian showed a look of panic.

"Don't come here, don't come here!"
