Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 373 Below
Hearing this, Ye Feng took a breath, and was so moved in his heart.

"Boss, do you lack girlfriends? I'll introduce you to some later."

Chen Nian was startled when he heard this: "Can you introduce the girl you know to me?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Although most of the girls I know like girls, there are also some who like boys. After all, we are not some cult organization." Ye Feng explained.

"It seems so." Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully.

"How about it? I'll introduce you to one. As long as you are not a scumbag, you will be fine." Ye Feng said with a smile.

"No need, no need." Chen Nian waved his hand and refused.

"Boss, aren't you single now? If you refuse, then I really don't know how to thank you." Ye Feng showed a hint of distress when he heard Chen Nian's refusal.

"You don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, just introduce more people to my place for dinner." Chen Nian advised the other party.

"It's fine, but boss, you are single and don't want to find a girlfriend, and you don't look like you are looking for a boyfriend. Could it be...do you have someone you like?" Ye Feng said teasingly.

Chen Nian gasped, can you guess this?
But Chen Nian is an adult anyway, although it is impossible to show rich facial expressions like in the anime, it can still make Ye Feng unable to see anything.

"Okay, then I won't ask any more questions, but in a word, thank you, I didn't expect to be able to eat cakes today. Originally, apart from the fact that my friends couldn't come back, there were also some strange things happened. Pleasant thing, but I'm in a much better mood now."

Chen Nian looked at the other party and smiled: "I don't have that kind of ceremony here, why don't I sing you a birthday song to celebrate?"

Chen Nian doesn't think it's a problem, after all, opening a restaurant is a service industry, if the customers who come to the store need it, Chen Nian can also pull the people in the store to sing a happy birthday song for the guests and wish them well.

"This... I don't want it anymore, I think it would be a little weird to say that." Ye Feng said, "But boss, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a little weird."

"Does it make you feel more natural if you change to a few beautiful sisters?" Chen Nian teased.

Ye Feng thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized in a completely non-standard northern dialect: "Hey, don't say it seems that this is really right."

"Hahaha, then you have some cake first, I'll go back and make noodles."

The miscellaneous sauce topping was almost done, Chen Nian returned to the kitchen and turned off the fire, poured it out and poured it into a basin, then made noodles from the awakened noodles, and put them into the pot after the water boiled.

After a while, the noodles rolled and floated with the boiling water in the pot...

For cooking noodles, Chen Nian is very experienced now. Basically, there is no need to pay special attention to how the noodles are cooked. You can judge whether the noodles are cooked by feeling.

A novice cooks according to his feeling when cooking, and a veteran cooks according to his feeling, but the difference between feeling and feeling is just experience.

The toppings are also ready, and the noodles are also ready, but this is not the last step, because after everything is done, it needs to be placed in a bowl. Of course, this is not just putting the noodles in the bowl, and then pouring the ingredients on it.

The first thing to do in the old age is a bowl of fried noodles with red oil, so you need to put a spoonful of red oil into the bowl first, and then compound soy sauce.

Compound soy sauce is not the kind of bottled soy sauce that you buy directly, but you need to boil some vegetables and soy sauce in water, then remove the vegetables, filter the soup, and then add light soy sauce to it.

After some cooking, compound soy sauce is made.

Compared with ordinary soy sauce, compound soy sauce has a richer and richer flavor and brighter color, and after raw soy sauce becomes cooked soy sauce, its taste is softer, but at the same time it is very penetrating.

Basically, some restaurants outside will make this kind of soy sauce by themselves. Sometimes using compound soy sauce can save a lot of steps of adding other seasonings.

After adding some compound soy sauce, add a small spoonful of sesame paste and a small amount of salt.

A small amount of pepper powder and ginger and garlic powder, which is almost the sum of salt and pepper powder, are also used to adjust the seasoning of the soup base, and then a little chicken essence.

After putting all the seasonings, brew it with high soup for aging, completely include the seasoning at the bottom in this big spoonful of high soup, and the color instantly turns red and bright.

Afterwards, Chen Nian used the long chopsticks specially designed for sandwiching noodles, put them in a bowl, sprinkled a few peanuts on top, appropriate amount of pickled mustard and sprouts, and the noodles A choy sum cooked together.

At the end is the most soulful spoonful of miscellaneous sauce topping.

Looking at such a bowl of delicious noodles, Chen Nian only felt that he was a little hungry, but he still took the bowl and went outside first.

"Face is coming."

At this time, Ye Feng had already eaten more than half of the cake outside, but when he saw this side, the aroma of spicy peppers and rich meat rushed into his nose, and he couldn't get rid of it.

As soon as he entered, he immediately began to attack his nerve center, and Ye Feng, who was weak in willpower, was immediately hit by this charm.

"No, why are there no peas? Generally, shouldn't there be peas in it?"

"No peas, because I don't have any preparations in the store, and the bowl of noodles you are eating now is not officially sold in the store. I am still in the stage of practice, so you don't need to pay if you eat it, but I can guarantee that the taste will definitely be good. That's it." Chen Nian said.

"Oh, so that's the case. That's okay. I didn't expect to have a king's meal for my birthday today." Ye Feng is not the kind of hypocritical person, and he doesn't want to say anything to thank the other party. There are many ways to do it. Push and pull.

Soon Ye Feng started eating here, and Chen Nian also went back to the kitchen to cook another bowl for himself, and sat in front of the stove and started eating.

Although Chen Nian had already had a meal at five o'clock in the evening, but now it is past eleven o'clock, and Chen Nian felt hungry again, so he started to eat again. The noodles were a little hot, but Chen Nian ate It's a joy.

Slimy doesn't care about the so-called image at all, because in his opinion, noodles must be like this to be delicious, if even noodles have to be picked and eaten one by one, what's the point?
And while he was eating, he suddenly remembered that someone who forgot where he had seen before said that a celebrity had to chew it 88 times before swallowing it.

Chew 88 times...

And still eating noodles...

It's just that it feels a little disgusting to think about it. Of course, this is just Chen Nian's personal opinion. As for everyone who has his own eating habits, Chen Nian will not say anything in person.

The taste of red oil noodles is relatively strong, and the aged method is also very easy to hang on the noodles, and it tastes very tasty. Although it is red oil, it does not taste choking at all.

Due to the problem of habit, Chen Nian added some more pepper powder in it, which will make it taste more numb.

And Chen Nian thought about it, if Yan Lili came to eat, there would probably be a lot of mistakes in it.

Soon there were no other sounds in the store, only the snoring of two people eating noodles.

Chen Nian was a little worried that the other party might not be able to finish eating, so he raised his head and said: "If you can't finish eating, you will leave it. It's okay, don't overeat and overwhelm."

Chen Nian was worried that the other party would eat the noodles even if he was full because of the face because the noodles were given to him, and he would end up feeling uncomfortable all night when he went back.

"It's okay." Ye Feng replied.

Soon after Chen Nian finished eating and drank some soup, he took a deep breath in satisfaction and patted his stomach.

At the same time, I began to comment on myself, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this bowl of noodles.

Thinking back to the Chongqing noodles I ate before, first of all, there is no pea in it, which is a bit unauthentic. Although some people may not like to eat peas, that kind of case cannot be used as an assessment of a dish for aging. Guests don't have to, but as a chef, Chen Nian must be able to do it.

The second is about the choy sum. I think it’s okay after aging. It should be good to change the way of thinking a little, such as changing to vine vegetables or lettuce leaves.

Then, when adjusting the soup base, there should be some areas that can be improved. If the aging is allowed to score by itself, it should be around 90.00% five or six.

After self-evaluation, Chen Nian took a look at the recipe.

Chongqing small noodles 90.86%
Good guy, it's so far from what I inferred, a full 5%.

"Sure enough, these traditional foods are not so easy to make. They can become the characteristics of a place through continuous inheritance and continuous improvement." Chen Nian sighed.

But the more he does this, the more motivated he becomes.

Life is a process of constant challenges. This kind of challenge is to constantly think of ways to win the first place in the school when you are in school, how to synthesize three-star five-fee cards when you are playing games, and how to attract people after opening a restaurant. More customers can make their restaurant the hottest restaurant in this street and even in this area. It is through continuous research and improvement when cooking, and striving to make a dish the best.

"Boss, I'm done eating, thank you for the hospitality." Just as Chen Nian kept encouraging himself and started to set new goals, Ye Feng outside said.

"Boss, is this really the first time you've made this noodle? It doesn't taste like it's made by a novice at all. I feel like some old restaurants taste like this." Ye Feng said with admiration.

"No, no, I dare not talk nonsense. I can only say that it is still in the research stage, and there are still many shortcomings."

"Too modest." Ye Feng praised.

"Okay, then go back early after eating, don't run around even if it's your birthday today."

"Boss, you are chasing someone away..."

"That's right, if you don't leave, how can I go home from get off work? Go back, I have to get up early tomorrow to make breakfast." Chen Nian waved his hand again.

"Boss, you still sell breakfast here. I haven't noticed it before."

"Yes, if you want to have breakfast, you can come here earlier, it will be gone after nine o'clock."

"Okay, then if I can get up tomorrow, I will definitely come over for breakfast. Speaking of which, I haven't had breakfast for a long time." Ye Feng pushed the stool back under the table as he said: "Then I will go first, boss. Thank you for your hospitality today."

"You're welcome." Chen Nian smiled, and then walked towards the kitchen with the noodles on the table and the empty plate where the cake was previously placed.

As a result, as soon as he returned to the kitchen, he put all the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, when he suddenly heard a sound from the counter.

"Pay the baby to the account and arrive at 100 yuan."

Chen Nian: "???"

You don't need to think about who sent it. I didn't expect Ye Feng to secretly scan the QR code while he was not paying attention, and only after he left did he scan the 100 yuan.

But if this is the case, wouldn't it be his own birthday?

There is no reason to pay for it yourself if you don’t celebrate your birthday!
This is too polite.

After sighing, Chen Nian continued to wash the dishes. Today, he tried small noodles topped with miscellaneous sauce, but the result was only 90.86%. Chen Nian plans to continue to try tomorrow.

And in the next period of time, the staff meals in the store will probably become noodles again, but it doesn't matter if they get tired of eating, there are still so many experimental subjects in the group, and they can be called to share at that time.

Presumably they are also very willing.

But having said that, it has been more than half a year since I entered the dreamland this time, that is to say, I haven't seen An Hongdou for more than half a year. Although they get along as friends, they haven't seen each other for such a long time. Chen Nian still misses something in his heart.

So Chen Nian cleaned up the kitchen, mopped the floor, turned off the lights, locked the door, and when he got home, he took out his phone and tentatively sent An Hongdou a message.

Chen Nian: "Are you asleep?"

As a result, there was no message from the other side after a minute or two. Chen Nian sighed and put the phone back in his pocket. It seemed that An Hongdou had fallen asleep, so we should contact her tomorrow.

As a result, I just took two steps.

The unique ringtone of WeChat messages rang, and the phone vibrated. Chen Nian hurriedly took out the phone and found that it was An Hongdou who responded to the message.

An Hongdou: "I haven't slept yet, what's wrong?"

Chen Nian: "It's okay, just ask casually."

An Hongdou: "Oh, okay."

Chen Nian: "By the way, is it convenient for you to video now?"

As soon as Chen Nian sent this message, he regretted it. It seemed a little impolite to have a direct video with the other party this evening, but when Chen Nian just long pressed the message to withdraw, he saw that the other party had been displayed at the top of the chat interface The character being entered is now.

As a result, Chen Nian swiped his hand and clicked directly to delete, and now he has no choice but to withdraw it.

An Hongdou: "I just took a shower."

Chen Nian gasped, it seemed that he asked at the wrong time, just wanted to say sorry, but saw a message from the other side.

An Hongdou: "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to undress."

When Chen Nian saw this and was about to reply, the chat interface with An Hongdou suddenly flashed...
