Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 302 Shocked (Happy New Year Everyone)

"Guess which dish was made by you?" After listening to Mr. Yu, he looked at the dishes on the table. Before that, he had only guessed, but now there was a lot of surprise on his face. His wife's cooking skills are beyond him. He knew it, and he had eaten He Hui's cooking for most of his life, so how could he not know which one was cooked by his wife?
After Grandma He finished speaking, she first stopped her wife from speaking, she wanted Zhang Fangyuan to guess first.

Speaking of which, Zhang Fangyuan has a good relationship with their family. When Zhang Fangyuan was filming documentaries, he often went here, and every time he returned to Yangzhou on a business trip, he would bring some special products from other places.

Not to mention, if he had enough time, he would stay here to play chess with Mr. Yu.

But Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help feeling a bit difficult when he heard this. To be honest, he had also eaten a lot of He Hui's dishes, but it was really difficult to distinguish the few dishes in front of him.

The dishes all looked delicious.

But at this time he was asked, Zhang Fangyuan scanned the table, and then pointed to a basket next to him: "This! This must not be made by Aunt He!"

What Zhang Fangyuan was referring to was the basket of strawberries.

"Haha, you are too slick. If you guess this, you have to guess which of the two of them did the laundry."

Zhang Fangyuan also became interested for a while. He looked at Chen Nian and An Hongdou. Both of them had washed their hands, which meant that they both helped, but it was obviously impossible for two people to wash a basket of strawberries. So the other person must be going to help wash and chop vegetables or something.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that An Hongdou said that he would invite him to dinner. In this case, it should be that An Hongdou is better at cooking, and although Chen Nian used to give advice during meals for a while, but that is not the case. It's just talking on paper, not to mention there are many remarks in it that Zhang Fangyuan doesn't agree with at all.

"Then I guess the strawberries are old and washed, and the red beans will help you wash and chop the vegetables."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the three people remained unchanged. He Hui nodded and continued to ask: "Then these next dishes, guess which one I cooked?"

There are six dishes on the dinner table, stir-fried shrimp, tofu in soy sauce, fish-flavored shredded pork, fried vegetables, beef stew with potatoes and a West Lake beef soup.

In terms of difficulty, it must be relatively simple to stir-fry vegetables, tofu and soup, and shrimp.

This was also what Chen Nian and the others thought.

But after waiting for about ten seconds, Zhang Fangyuan gave his answer: "This shredded fish-flavored pork is definitely not made by you, grandma, and the tofu with soy sauce is probably not made by you, although you did not say that your total I have cooked a few dishes, but I still think that this West Lake beef soup should not be made by you."

When Zhang Fangyuan said the first two sentences, the three of them were really surprised, because the two dishes were indeed not made by He Hui, but when they heard the last dish, they were relieved again. Coming to the other party is only based on guesswork and observation.

"why?"

"Because I guess Aunt He will think that I will let them do the simple guesses, and leave the difficult ones to you, but I think again, if it is so easy to guess, you may not let me speak .”

Chen Nian felt that what he said seemed to be reasonable after hearing it.

"So this fish-flavored shredded pork is definitely not made by you. As for the other two dishes, I guess."

"Okay, then tell me, since I didn't make these three dishes, who made them?"

"I think it's made of red beans."

He Hui nodded after hearing this: "Okay, what about you, old man? Which dish do you think I cooked?"

After hearing this, Yu Fuchun sighed: "It's been a lifetime for both of us, and now you ask me to guess these things. If Xiao Zhang can guess wrong, how can I guess wrong?"

"The stewed beef with green vegetables and the soup were made by you, and the rest must not be you, but this is the first time I have met this little girl and Xiao Chen, but I think the rest of the dishes should also be made by Xiao An, although I said Xiao Chen doesn't seem to know how to cook, but I think it's better for a girl to cook."

After the words fell, the faces of the three of them coincidentally showed smiles.

"It seems that the old man knows me well. I cooked these three dishes, and I didn't cook the other three. Xiao Zhang guessed well, so he guessed two wrong dishes."

"Then the remaining three dishes..."

Then An Hongdou said with a smile: "Only the strawberries are made by me, and the rest are old-fashioned."

The answer took everyone a little by surprise.

What Zhang Fangyuan thought was that Chen Nian really knew how to cook?
But in this way, what Chen Nian said before...

No, no, even so, it doesn't mean that the level of aging has reached the level where you can comment on the chefs of the restaurants you approve.

But at this moment, An Hongdou couldn't help laughing seeing the surprised expressions of the two: "Mr. Yu, Director Zhang, do you think that Chen Nian specializes in singing Kunqu opera, and even if he doesn't specialize in singing Kunqu opera, he is also engaged in related industries?" ?”

"Isn't it?" Zhang Fangyuan asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha, of course not. You will never guess that Chen Nian is actually a chef and has a restaurant of his own in Chengdu."

At this time, Chen Nian also continued: "Yes, I am indeed just a cook, and I was not lying when I said that Kunqu opera is just my hobby, and no one in my family is engaged in opera-related industries. "

"How is this possible? You obviously..." Zhang Fang's full face is unbelievable. As far as the singing voice and figure shown in the filming before Chen Nian, if he is a cook, that Fangyuan is absolutely unwilling to believe.

"Director Zhang, do you find it unbelievable? When I learned that Chen Nian could sing Kunqu opera, I was as shocked as you. After all, Chef and Huadan are so cross-border that it is unimaginable, but even if Being a cook is also very good at aging. If you search the Internet, you should be able to find a lot of videos related to aging... and Mr. Liu probably didn't tell you about the co-lyricist of the song I Wensi Tofu. Chen Nian, this song of mine was created after I tasted Wensi Tofu in his shop."

Zhang Fangyuan only felt that his three views had been subverted. Isn't a chef the kind of profession who spends all day in the kitchen with iron pans and cooking fumes?Even chefs in some high-end restaurants are not immune to this.

Moreover, cooking is considered physical labor, and chefs are basically big-bodied. Even if they look nothing on the surface, their arms must be thicker than others. Unlike Chen Nian, his body is well-proportioned. Whether it is men's or women's clothes, he has a special flavor.

"So you are the Mecha Tyrannosaurus, the World Destroyer General?"

"It's me. In the beginning, I just wanted to cook, but later the customers helped me spread the word. Later, I met Hongdou by chance in the store. During that time, Hongdou composed a song with Wensi tofu. , Later, I just made some suggestions on the lyrics, Hongdou wanted to add my name, I don’t like to be noticed by too many people, so I used a pseudonym.” Chen Nian explained.

"In fact, the reason why our crew signed the non-disclosure agreement because of your identity was also because of this?"

"It should be." Chen Nian nodded, "Mr. Liu is quite a nice person. I didn't expect him to agree to this condition before."

Even so, Zhang Fangyuan still felt that it was very magical, but seeing An Hongdou's uncontrollable smile, he also realized something in his heart: "Hongdou, you said before that you want to invite me to dinner, are you going to let Chen Nian Do?"

"Yes." An Hongdou readily admitted.

"You two..." Zhang Fangyuan sighed, he felt that he might have made a mistake in blaming Chen Nian earlier.

However, he didn't take out his mobile phone to search the Internet now, but after chatting for a few words, he naturally turned the topic back to Yu Fuchun.

Taking advantage of the meal, Chen Nian also took chopsticks to taste the fish-flavored pork shreds that he made. To be honest, among these dishes, fish-flavored pork shreds was the first time Chen Nian tried it, but he also liked this dish. The dish was quite promising.

After all, I had eaten this dish in an Internet celebrity restaurant in Chengdu before. That restaurant was still known as a time-honored brand, but I was disappointed after eating it.

This time, try the fish-flavored shredded pork that I made myself. No matter what, the taste is better than that of the other. After the entrance, the sour, sweet and spicy tastes take turns to launch an offensive. The soft and elastic shredded pork is endowed with youthful flavor Vitality, but this is not publicity and rebellion, but the tolerance of young people for all rivers.

Even old people like Teacher Yu and Grandma He will not feel any effort in eating.

Although there is a trace of spicy taste in it, the second elder who is from Jiangnan does not find it difficult to eat, but finds it very delicious.

In addition, the shredded bamboo shoots and fungus are also coated with the same sauce as the shredded pork, but the taste is completely different. The fungus is not over-fried, and it tastes crisp and raw instead of hard.

As for shredded bamboo shoots, which would be particularly difficult to chew if not prepared properly, they are also aged very well. As long as you bite them lightly with your teeth, they will snap apart with a bang.

The taste is invincible!

But the same old age also knows that this dish is still flawed. The reason why the fish-flavored shredded pork is called fish-flavored pork is because the spicy peppers used in this dish are actually prepared in advance with fish.

Although the taste of this dish is similar to that sold outside, in the final analysis, it still lacks the most soulful thing, and it's just that most people can't eat it.

Chen Nian took a look at the recipe by the way, and sure enough, the progress of this dish is only 85%, which shows the importance of fish-flavored spicy peppers to this dish.

But being able to make it like this is considered a very good job in the category of home-cooked dishes. After all, no one in an ordinary family would spend so long on making fish-flavored spicy peppers.

After the meal was finished, Chen Nian An Hongdou and He Hui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes again, but this time Chen Nian became the main force, and An Hongdou also rushed to take the bowls that Chen Nian had washed, and wiped the dishes on top with a rag. Water stains wipe dry.

Instead, He Hui had nothing to do, and then kept chatting with Chen Nian and the others.

She didn't want to rest like this and leave the work to the young people, mainly because these two children were too enthusiastic!

It's just too flattering.

"Oh, grandma likes young people like you. This time you are here for work. If you come to Yangzhou to play in the future, you must tell grandma. Grandma's legs and feet are still good. When the time comes, she will take you out to play. "

"Don't worry, grandma, we will definitely come to disturb you then."

"Okay, then how about we add a WeChat later, and we can make calls when we have nothing to do."

"Okay."

The three of them forged a revolutionary friendship in the kitchen after just one meal, while outside Zhang Fangyuan took out his mobile phone and started searching for vintage.

As a result, after a search, he really found a lot.

Except for some things that are obviously posted by those people who like to sing a different tune on the Internet, most of the mentions of old age are basically boasting, and there are countless shooting clips about old age cooking.

Especially the section on aged Chevansi tofu.

"So awesome?" Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help exclaiming.

It's not that he has never tasted this dish, nor has he never seen a chef in a star-rated hotel cook this dish himself, but it is the first time he has encountered someone who can cook this dish to such an extent. arrive.

And before that, he thought that Chen Nian was a guy who could only talk on paper.

Even if he later found out that Chen Nian was a cook, he never thought that Chen Nian was so powerful.

Looking further down, he realized that the really good old-fashioned cuisine was not Huaiyang cuisine, but Sichuan cuisine.

But in addition to these two cuisines, Chen Nian actually knows Northeast cuisine, and he is also the leader in Northeast cuisine.

"What kind of young man is this?"

Zhang Fangyuan was suddenly full of curiosity about Chen Nian. Although he is a director and mainly shoots documentaries, he occasionally makes some literary films for theaters. Although this stuff doesn't make much money, no one does. Counting on literary films to make money.

And in addition to these two main businesses, he himself occasionally posts some interviews with big bosses on his self-media account.

Anyway, Zhang Fangyuan took these photos mainly because of his personal hobbies. When he was looking at the materials of Chen Nian, he realized that he knew very little about Chen Nian before.

Therefore, while watching, he suddenly had an idea, that is, to also conduct an interview with Chen Nian.

He wants young people like Chen Nian to be known to outsiders too much. The contrast brought by this kind of identity is very eye-catching, and he doesn't do this because he wants any traffic, but because he is naturally interested in Such people have a great desire to explore.

If Chen Nian agrees, he can even pay a very considerable interview fee, and that fee is far greater than the income and fame he can bring from making a video.

　The video of the New Year’s Eve dinner was filmed, and it needs to be edited. After two days, it will be posted on Xiaobozhan. The name is the pseudonym
