Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 315 Reopening

Chen Nian was a little surprised by An Hongdou's reaction when he saw this dish, but it was also a surprise for him. There are more and more things that fit each other between the two, which is worthwhile in itself. happy.

And An Hongdou's face was even more joyful after tasting this dish. She also likes to eat sweets very much. Great interest, so she likes this dish very much.

That night, Chen Nian and An Hongdou had a dessert snack here.

After eating, Chen Nian cleaned up the dishes, closed the shop, and delivered An Hongdou to the gate of the community.

"Bye-Bye."

Chen Nian waved his hands and watched An Hongdou gradually disappear from sight.

It wasn't until he was completely out of sight that he turned around and headed towards his own house under the nonchalant gaze of the security guard at the gate.

While going home, I was thinking about the next day's business.

Chen Nian plans to officially open the store tomorrow, so when he went to the vegetable market in the morning, Chen Nian had already ordered the ingredients he would use tomorrow with the big brothers and sisters in the vegetable market.

He didn't ask for more, and even this time the amount was less than when the store was not expanded.

After all, the store has just opened, and this store also lacks effective means of publicity, so it can only rely on word of mouth to spread slowly and word of mouth.

Therefore, it is normal that there will be fewer people on the first day.

And at lunch today, Chen Nian had already agreed with everyone that they would officially start working tomorrow.

Set the alarm clock at five o'clock in the morning, find the UP host to play the cross talk, and sleep until dawn in the joy.

"Pay the baby and arrive at 100 million yuan."

Chen Nian was still woken up by the familiar alarm clock, but he still struggled to get out of bed.

"Sure enough, frequent laziness will make people slack." Chen Nian reflected in his mind.

But procrastination has to be said to really make people happy!
After washing, I changed my clothes and headed towards the restaurant. Since it was reopening today, Chen Nian didn’t plan to buy breakfast. After all, if he wanted to make tofu, Chen Nian had to soak the beans the night before. .

A person came to the store, turned on the lights, and cleaned up.

Not long after, Brother Liu's car stopped at the door.

It's still a familiar pose, a familiar face.

Moved all the ingredients into the kitchen, and looked around curiously as he walked: "Yes, Boss Chen, the decoration of this shop is really good, the space is larger, and it is much brighter than before. It seems to be a fortune. It's gone!"

"No, no, just doing this has already used up all of our family's savings."

"It's too modest. People who come to eat every day line up. I don't believe it if I don't get rich." Brother Liu joked and put down all the dishes, and then prepared to drive away.

But Chen Nian still moved a box of iced black tea and opened Brother Liu's car door and put it on the car seat.

"Okay, Brother Liu, slow down on the road."

Chen Nian didn't keep the other party, after all, he still had to deliver food, and he wasn't the only customer.

After speaking, he said hello and hurried back to the store, making the other party unable to refuse even if he wanted to.

Looking at Chen Nian's back, Brother Liu smiled. He knew that Chen Nian did this because he sold the beef to Chen Nian yesterday.

Brother Liu himself is not a hypocritical person. Since Chen Nian is so open-minded, there are still many places where he can take care of Chen Nian in the future.

We still have to deal with each other in the future.

So he lit a cigarette for himself, quickly turned the steering wheel and turned around, then kicked the accelerator and walked away.

When Chen Nian returned to the store, looking at a lot of various ingredients, he first turned on his mobile phone and played An Hongdou's song on a loop.

While listening to music, while processing ingredients.

Because braised pork and braised pork with preserved vegetables are more labor-intensive, and the cooking time in the middle is long, aging is given priority.

As for Guobaorou and Wensi Tofu, you can cook them after the first two dishes are in the pot.

It went on like this for about an hour and everyone came one after another.

Although Chen Nian said that he could come after eight o'clock, everyone in Honghong Hotel knew that Chen Nian was the hardest one.

"Master, you still came so early." The two couldn't help feeling sincere admiration for Chen Nian, because they knew that Chen Nian had not been a chef for long, and he had basically never cooked before. After all, he studied food safety in college and worked in a restaurant. When a chef cooks, although the two sounds related to a certain extent, they are actually two fields at all.

But the master was able to improve his culinary skills to this level in a short period of time.

And not only that, even the level of diligence is far behind the two apprentices.

Even though he is already such a genius, he is still so diligent.

Besides, he is so handsome.

But what they have always been more puzzled about is how a man like Chen Nian has never had a date from school to now.

Chen Nian is the first to come every morning and the last to leave at night.

The time spent on work is far longer than that of them. Although the shop is old, I am the boss and work for myself.

It's not the same as those who work for others.

But they believe that with the spirit of the old age, it is the same even if they change the recipe for others.

Excellent people are excellent wherever they have platforms and opportunities.

There is no doubt about that.

Therefore, they also washed their hands quickly and began to devote themselves to the preparation of the ingredients.

This time the store reopened, and Chen Nian added some new dishes on the basis of the previous ones.

Pork with preserved vegetables - 35 yuan

Garlic lettuce - 9 yuan

Hot and sour potato shreds - 9 yuan

A total of three dishes were added. Except for the price of pickled meat and vegetables, which reached 35, the prices of the other two vegetarian dishes did not break through single digits.

He Hai made up noodles and boiled scallion oil on the side, and came to help them process the ingredients, while Feng Honghong and Wen Hongxia also helped in the kitchen.

Although they don't need to do most of the preparation of ingredients, they can still do it by helping to organize the prepared ingredients, wipe off the splashed water when washing vegetables, and drag them along.

The news of the reopening of the Honghong Hotel was just said by Chen Nian in the group before. Everyone was looking forward to it, and when it was around [-]:[-] noon, two people rushed over.

The two of them, Xiao Jing and Miao Miao Wu, are freelancers, so they have a lot of time at their disposal every day. Even if they don't work during the day, they can still make up at night.

Even if you are usually a bit dorky, you can still use the reasons of preparing ingredients, shooting materials, conceiving copywriting, and feeling unwell as excuses.

After the two arrived, the first thing they did was take a quick photo of the shop.

At that time, even if there are not many environmental shots, there will be enough material.

If you have more, you can choose, but if you have less, you have no choice.

Xiao Jing asked Miao Miaowu to come first. After all, there can only be one person at a time when shooting the menu. If two people come over with their cameras in hand, it won't be easy to cut.

Miaomiaowu looked at the menu on the wall and counted one by one, and finally found the three extra dishes.

"There are two more vegetarian dishes and one meat vegetable dish."

"The two new vegetarian dishes are understandable, but this meat dish...why is there pickled meat with pickled vegetables?? Didn't the boss go to Yangzhou? Shouldn't there be more Huaiyang dishes?"

"Sauced pork with preserved vegetables, I remember, is a special dish in Guangdong."

However, he was only puzzled by this question, after all, Chen Nian never played cards according to common sense.

At this time, there was such a dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables, which was a must-order dish for Miao Miaowu.

He has made this dish before, so he knows that it is very troublesome to prepare, and the ratio of seasonings is very important. If there is something wrong, the prepared pickled meat with pickled vegetables will be greatly inferior.

Either the seasoning is too much and the color is too heavy, or the color is too light.

It’s okay to say that the color is heavy, but it doesn’t look that good-looking, but if the color is too light, it will lose its color. The pork belly used in Meicai Pork is fatter. If the color does not change, the white meat on it will be very obvious.

Dabai Rouzhuozi lost his appetite after seeing it.

And a little off-putting.

In addition, there are salty and light tastes, the choice of preserved vegetables, and the integrity of the braised pork.

Pork with pickled vegetables must be made very soft and rotten. Otherwise, the fat and protein in the fatty meat have just solidified when the meat is cooked, and it tastes a bit hard. It will be full of fat after one bite. After the first piece, I don't want to eat the second piece.

There may even be a psychological shadow on Mei Cai Kou Rou in the future.

When Miao Miaowu was making this dish, he also overturned the car several times before summing it up.

So Miaomiaowu asked Chen Nian if he could order food and got an affirmative answer, and ordered pickled meat with pickled vegetables and a bowl of rice, but it is definitely not enough to eat only meat. But eating for a while will inevitably produce a feeling of greasy.

This has nothing to do with being delicious or unpalatable, even if you eat too much of the delicious food, you can't stand it.

So I ordered another garlic lettuce.

Although you can also order hot and sour potato shreds, Miao Miaowu still thinks that eating big fish and meat and then eating green vegetables will be more palatable and relieve greasy.

And Xiao Jing over there directly ordered all three new dishes.

He has a relatively large appetite, and he also inquired about the portion of pickled meat with pickled vegetables, and learned that a serving of pickled pork with pickled vegetables uses almost four taels of meat, and it is only a small bowl to make.

Therefore, with his current appetite, he can handle it completely.

Since the last step of the pickled meat with pickled vegetables is to be steamed in a pot, after ordering at the front of Miaomiao House, the pickled pork with pickled vegetables is brought out from the kitchen at the back.

After buttoning it, Feng Honghong brought it directly to the table.

"The two of you are the first to come again. You are the first and he is the second." Feng Honghong said after serving the dishes.

"Of course, I came here so early after reading the news from the boss." Miao Miaowu said proudly, "But Auntie, the decoration in the store is really good, are these all the boss's own ideas? ?”

"Mostly." Feng Honghong nodded, "We were looking for designers on the Internet before, but many design companies came to us on the second day, and finally my son chose a studio from those companies, and the studio was One person, but today's young people are really powerful. In one month, the designer ran around and took special responsibility from designing drawings to buying materials to the subsequent decoration, and then made it into what it is now. "

Miao Miaowu couldn't help being amazed when she heard this, because she also finds the style of Honghong Restaurant very amazing now. Although the style of the store has changed compared to before, she doesn't feel at all the surrounding layout and decorations when she sits here and eats. Strangeness and incompatibility, including the details of the tableware and plates, made her feel very comfortable.

Feng Honghong said here that Xiao Jing was a little proud of being there, because he was also there when Chen Nian decided to use Han Dongqing's plan, and he had already established a good relationship with Han Dongqing early, maybe he would also Have to ask the other party to help design.

Feng Honghong showed off to two acquaintances before walking away.

And Miao Miao Wu started her video shooting.

Pork with pickled vegetables is a very good material in the shooting of food videos, because this dish itself is very easy to shoot in terms of appearance and color, and it will look very good even after shooting without much post-processing .

Moreover, using chopsticks in front of the camera to show the color of the sauce and the alluring luster formed on the pork belly will also bring an extremely violent impact to the meat lovers in front of the screen.

After showing it to the camera, Miao Miaowu put the meat in the bowl, and the rich soup fell on the rice, absorbing the heat energy of the rice itself and continuing to fall, moving forward along the gap until she completely lost herself.

Compared with Miao Miaowu, Xiao Jing's shooting is obviously in a different style.

Since Xiao Jing was born in fine arts, he gave full play to what he had learned during the introduction, and constantly used various terms to introduce Mei Cai Kousai in a very artistic and professional way.

For example, the color number, composition of the color, the ratio of light and dark under different angles, and why this piece of braised pork has such a luster.

After Xiao Jing finished the introduction, he began to feast on it.

One bite of meat, and then a big bite of rice.

Cheeks are bulging, very satisfied.

Comparing before and after, one is the elegant art of the academic school, and the other is the down-to-earth style of the life school.

This also divided the viewers watching Xiao Jing's video into two factions.

One group likes to watch Xiao Jing’s serious introduction of dishes with professional knowledge of art, while the other group likes to see Xiao Jing’s mouthful of meat, because they feel that just looking at them is very appetizing, and compared to some online dishes. As far as Hu Chihai Sai is concerned, although Xiao Jing eats very big mouthfuls, he will not make people feel disgusted.

The first faction began to say on the barrage that the feature film was over after Xiao Jing had finished talking about the dishes, while the second faction was the exact opposite. They would start to show the feature film at this time.

Miao Miaowu added a piece of pickled meat with pickled vegetables for display, but the moment the chopsticks touched the meat, he could feel that the soft and rotten meat of the pickled vegetables was not separated. Know that it has been a whole until it is put in the mouth, and the thickness is just right.

The tiger skin on it has a clear texture, glistening with juice in the undulating ravines.

In the rising steam, she can keenly capture the aroma of plum vegetables in it.

Then put the pickled pork in the mouth, and the richer taste keeps reverberating and undulating in the mouth, just like the thick and surging river.

When you eat pickled meat with pickled vegetables, what you eat is the taste of pickled vegetables and the rich sauce.

And the new dish of Chen Nian is still as stable as usual, and people can't find any faults.

Meat eaters are despised, except for pickled pork with pickled vegetables.

"It seems that this time the video is stable again!" Miao Miaowu has been a UP host for many years, and now she can roughly estimate the playback volume when shooting material.

Because when she was eating, she began to think about the copywriting at that time, where to work, how to edit where, and what music to match with which shots, all of which she would prepare in her mind in advance.

As for today's meal, Miao Miaowu felt that if it was sent out, it would be worth at least 200 million views.

It’s just that she went to the music software to look at it before coming here, trying to find some clues from An Hongdou’s works, to see if there are any new dishes, but unfortunately, An Hongdou was busy with work in the previous month and did not write new songs .

"No, I'd better go back and ask. If Hongdou is already preparing a new song, I can wait for a while. In this way, there will be another reason to delay the video. What a clever and wonderful witch!"
