Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 294 Unexpectedly Delicious (ask for a monthly ticket)
Breakfast is served in the hotel in the morning. Hotel guests can use their room cards to get breakfast coupons, and then take the breakfast coupons to the first floor to eat.

The two came to the restaurant of the hotel with the meal coupons. They thought that the breakfast here was the same kind of buffet as the breakfast in other hotels.

But after coming here, Chen Nian found that the breakfast in this hotel is actually made fresh, except for milk, soy milk and steamed eggs and purple potatoes.

Noodles, fried rice, rice noodles, tofu nao, etc. are also available.

And these are all freshly made, including steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, egg-filled pancakes, finger pancakes and so on.

But these things have been eaten for a long time, so he doesn't think there is anything rare. What he pays attention to is the local special noodles of Yangzhou on another window.

There are a lot of varieties on the menu, but in the end, the aging still focused on the three shrimp roe wontons, dumpling noodles, and dry noodles.

Chen Nian had already done his homework before, and these three items are all local specialties, and they are also what old Yangzhou people eat in the morning.

"What are you going to eat?" An Hongdou also looked around at this time, and finally came to this same window, looking at Chen Nian who had been standing here for a while and asked.

"I plan to eat them one by one. Anyway, we will stay here for a while, so we can definitely finish the breakfast here."

An Hongdou looked at the menu again at this time, and the first dish was dry noodles.

"That's it, then I'll have some dry noodles too." An Hongdou said, but she had been to Yangzhou before, so after ordering a dry noodles, she said to the window: " Master, please have another bowl of kidney soup."

"Kidney soup? What's that?"

"This is the favorite breakfast combination of old Yangzhou people. It is simple, quick and delicious. Yesterday we just went to Dongguan Street, but if you walk around the streets and alleys of the old city, you can see dried Noodle shops, and carts selling old geese."

After hearing this, Chen Nian also said to the window: "Hello, I want a bowl of kidney soup too."

In a short time, the noodles were ready inside, just like the scallion oil noodles made in the past, but there were still some shrimp roe in the current bowl of noodles, and the color of soy sauce was evenly wrapped on the noodles.

As for the kidney soup on the side, it also looks good. A few slices of thick-cut kidneys are put into the bowl, and there are some green vegetables.

One tray per person, carrying these foods to the table.

Chen Nian looked at this bowl of noodles. The noodles are round Su-style thin noodles, which are thinner than Lanzhou noodles. Chen Nian knows that when he was in Shanghai, Shanghai was very close to Suzhou. And later in Kunshan, the distance was even closer.

This kind of noodles is made of high-gluten flour with alkaline noodles, eggs and refined salt, but the ratio must be adjusted well. If the noodles are too dry, the noodles will not be elastic, but if they are too wet, they will be sticky. slimy.

And it's sticky, but what's more terrible is that if this side is too soft, it can't be stretched so thin.

The main seasoning of this bowl of noodles is still soy sauce, but Chen Nian smelled that the soy sauce seemed to be different from the soy sauce I made before. From the faint fragrance of this bowl of noodles, Chen Nian seemed to smell some shrimp smell.

Apparently the soy sauce has shrimp roe added to it.

Mix it well while it is hot, the color of the soy sauce evenly covers every inch of skin of each noodle.

During the process of mixing, the smell continued to emanate, which surprised Chen Nian. He never thought that he could eat this level of food for breakfast in a hotel.

Mr. Liu is too understanding, he chose such a hotel, which suits his taste.

And Chen Nian also decided to stay here next time he comes again.

Then Chen Nian picked up a chopsticks noodle and put it into his mouth, and sucked all the noodle in with a light suction.

At this moment, Chen Nian also tasted that there was a thin layer of lard attached to the noodles, which made the noodles so smooth.

In more cases, adding meat oil when making dry noodles will improve the taste of this bowl of noodles by several levels.

On this point, Chen Nian has a very right to speak. Usually, the lard used in the scallion noodles sold in Honghong Restaurant is cooked by Chen Nian himself. Later, he passed on the practice of this scallion noodles to After He Hai, this task naturally fell to He Hai.

But in this bowl of dry noodles, apart from the lard and the noodles themselves, the most intuitive taste is soy sauce.

Aged in this soy sauce also tasted some mysteries, this is not directly put some seasonings in the soy sauce, stir it evenly and pour it into it, if there is no accident, the soy sauce should also be overcooked.

When cooking, add shrimp roe, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other seasonings to it.

After tasting it carefully, Chen Nian also found that some parsley seemed to be added to the soy sauce.

In short, Chen Nian took a sip and found that this soy sauce was definitely cooked carefully, otherwise it would definitely not have such a taste.

And the selection of this soy sauce may also be a bit sophisticated.

Because soy sauce is also graded, when you buy soy sauce, there will be an ingredient in the ingredient list on the bottle that needs to be listed separately. The name of this ingredient is amino acid nitrogen. The higher the content, the better the quality of soy sauce. high.

Generally speaking, 100 grams or more of amino acid nitrogen per 0.4 ml is considered good.

If it can't even reach 0.4 grams, this kind of soy sauce is generally not used for aging.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" An Hongdou didn't move his chopsticks after mixing it, but asked Chen Nian after taking a sip.

"Delicious! This soy sauce is very carefully made, try it." Chen Nian seriously recommended.

An Hongdou couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, but after all, it's not that she hasn't eaten with Chen Nian, and there are not many foods that can be praised by Chen Nian.

And what the old age says is delicious, it must be delicious.

So he also picked up a few with chopsticks and put them in his mouth, pouting his mouth and sucking it lightly, those noodles quickly got into An Hongdou's mouth, and then chewed for a while.

"It's really delicious! I have been to Yangzhou many times before, and I have eaten dry noodles, but the ones I ate in those online celebrity restaurants are not as delicious as this hotel!"

Chen Nian couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this: "Internet celebrities are very popular on the Internet. Going to this kind of place to eat is like a scratch."

An Hongdou was thoughtful when she heard this: "You mean to go to an online celebrity restaurant to eat is all based on luck. If you encounter delicious food, you will be considered a winner. If you don't feel delicious, is it normal?"

"It's about the same... I saw a lot of people buying 1000 scratch-offs on the Internet before, and the ones that can be scratched out in the end are about 600-700."

"And it's like going to an amusement park to catch dolls. Others come here to eat and think it's not tasty, and then post the truth about the bad taste on the Internet, which is equivalent to depositing money for others.

But if you do this instead, it is equivalent to helping others advance money.

There are so many online celebrity shops in the market, after you have deposited money for a certain number of times, you will be able to see a lot of evaluation posts on the Internet, and then carefully screen out which ones are advertorials and which ones are spontaneous by customers The publicity, so that you will not step on the thunder when you go out to eat in the future. "

Chen Nian explained the truth, and An Hongdou also understood what Chen Nian meant.

"But how should an online celebrity shop be defined? Literally speaking, as long as it is a popular shop on the Internet, it will be called an online celebrity shop."

When Chen Nian heard this, he drank another spoonful of pork kidney flower soup. The kidney flower was cleaned and tasted very good, which combined with the saltiness and freshness of the soy sauce itself.

"Internet celebrity stores should focus on marketing. Doing a large-scale publicity is like some fans ranking their favorite stars, doing all kinds of data, and this kind of store has several characteristics.

Except for a few mid-level reviews, the reviews are generally more polarized.

Another feature is that this kind of store generally has not been open for a long time, and they can make a fortune under such overwhelming publicity. After people are familiar with it, the more people who accept it will survive. As it became more and more deserted, it slowly closed the door and ran away. "

"And this kind of brand is actually driven by someone behind it. There are usually companies behind these Internet celebrity shops, and what they earn is the money for joining. As long as the money is obtained, what happens next is none of their business.

Anyway, with so many franchise stores, there must be some that make money, and some that don’t. If you don’t make money but others do, you can only run it yourself. "

An Hongdou obviously didn't expect that there are so many doorways in it, no wonder...

As far as she knows, in the circle she is in, many celebrities will choose to become franchise stores after they have accumulated a certain popularity and a fan base.

Among them, most of them are hot pot restaurants, because hot pot has a wider audience, and if the price is right, there is an endless stream of people who go to eat for the stars themselves.

If the influence of the star's signboard is greater than that of the hotel itself, it can generally be called an online celebrity shop.

As for these brands, there will be countless things that will explode in the future and be countered by franchisees.

But these have nothing to do with them. Go to whichever restaurant is delicious. It is also difficult for him to judge the reputation of a restaurant without eating it. After all, everyone’s taste is different. Not used to it.

But in any case, today's old breakfast can be said to be quite satisfactory.

Moreover, the practice of this soy sauce also opened the door to a new world for Chen Nian. He decided to improve the scallion noodles in the store after he went back.

However, even if it is improved at that time, you have to try it for a few days to see how it responds. If the response is good, you will use the new one. If the response is mediocre, you will still use the old one.

After eating, they put the plates in the place where the plates were recycled, and then they went back to pack up. After bringing various necessary items such as power banks, earphones, wallets, ID cards, masks, etc., they went downstairs .

At this time, there was already a commercial vehicle waiting at the entrance of the hotel, and now they were going to the photography base.

They have part of the scene to be filmed there, so when the time comes to change clothes and make up will have to be there.

Not long after they arrived at their destination, the business car drove in and finally stopped at the door of a three-story building.

After saying thank you, they opened the door and got out of the car. When they got out of the car, they heard the noise inside.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the assistant who was waiting there, and the assistant took them to a room on the second floor.

"Sister An, this is also where you put on your makeup. The fitting room is next door. There is an internal phone on the table. If you need anything, just call."

"Okay." An Hongdou and Chen Nian nodded.

Finally, the other party said: "Then sister An, take a rest here first, and the director will come over later to chat with the two of you about today's work arrangements."

"no problem."

Then the staff went out. An Hongdou saw that there was water here, so he asked Chen Nian to bring two bottles, opened them and took a sip, then put them on the table.

Not long after, the director and Liu Qingsong came here together. They had actually chatted before, but they didn't talk in detail and only mentioned the general idea. This time they came here to talk about the details.

The director they filmed was surnamed Zhang and his name was Zhang Fangyuan.

It can be seen that this director also understands Kunqu opera, but in this respect, it is not in vain, whether it is makeup or clothing, it is clear and logical.

Especially when it comes to the makeup looks of the Republic of China period and some makeup looks of ancient Kunqu opera, Chen Nian and this director Zhang have a certain degree of disagreement.

Zhang Fangyuan thinks that he also knows a lot of knowledge in this area, and he has shot many related promotional videos, and has seen a lot of these materials.

"Is someone in your family engaged in this industry or learning this?"

"No, I'm just a fan."

"Why do you say that the hem of the clothes should have pleats? I have photographed so many, how can I not know?"

"But there is indeed." Chen Nian insisted on his opinion.

But the director looked at Liu Qingsong. Liu Qingsong obviously didn't intend to intervene. Instead, he folded his arms beside him as if watching a play.

Zhang Fangyuan didn't want to continue arguing with Chen Nian, so he took out his mobile phone: "I'm calling an old Kunqu opera artist in front of you, okay, we have cooperated before, so I left his phone number, although you and I For the sake of saving face, please don’t touch the other party, but it’s still okay to call and ask.”

Then he dialed a phone number.
