Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 390 He's So Willful, I Love So Much

"Small steamed buns." Chen Nian thought for a while...

"Small steamed buns are fine. Customers who come to the store for breakfast often ask if there are steamed steamed buns. This is easier than noodles. I will do some research when I have time."

Seeing that Chen Nian agreed, He Hai's face showed joy. In fact, he wanted to eat Xiaolongbao himself, but he was embarrassed to say that, after all, everyone eats what is available in the store every day, and chooses by himself. Picking and choosing, ordering dishes that are not in the store seems to be very hypocritical.

But after Chen Nian agreed, he turned his attention to Qiao Zhaomei and his mother who had just arrived.

"By the way, do you know how to make steamed buns? Mom, I remember you know how to make buns." Chen Nian asked.

"Yes, yes, just make the dough, adjust the stuffing, and wrap it in buns. Anyway, if you want to make big buns, you should make the dough bigger, and if you want small buns, you should make the dough smaller."

"What about making noodles and waking up?"

"I always look at the feeling." Feng Honghong said, "so every time I make it differently, sometimes it tastes good and sometimes it doesn't taste good."

Chen Nian thought to himself: Well, this is another chef with a school of consciousness.

And Qiao Zhaomei also shook her head: "The Cantonese restaurant I used to have had Xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings, etc., but these are made by the pastry master, so I don't know how to do it either."

Chen Nian sighed, thinking that he could only rely on himself, but tomorrow afternoon he was going to shoot at Miao Miaowu's place, so he could ask Miao Miaowu, maybe she would!

In the afternoon, Lu Xiao called home and said that she would not come back for dinner at night, but she would be back around eight or nine o'clock.

In addition to looking at some shops that he had been in love with before, Lu Xiao also went to a few famous cake shops in Chengdu to buy some snacks to eat, and to find out the truth by the way.

"Okay, be careful, don't stay out too late, call Auntie if you have something to do." Feng Honghong told the phone.

Although her niece is 27 years old, she is still a child in Feng Honghong's eyes.

Time passed quickly, as the ingredients in the store were sold less and less, there were more and more dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, the sky gradually dimmed, and the number of people who came to eat gradually began to thin out.

Not long after, Lu Xiao came back.

"How do you see it?" Chen Nian was not too busy at this time, and the few guests who came just now ate home-cooked food, so Chen Nian simply asked Xie Yu to cook, while he himself went outside After taking a sip of water, while drinking water, he saw Lu Xiao enter the door and asked curiously.

"I feel that the cake shops in these big places are not much different from ours, except that the decoration of the stores is more luxurious, maybe some of the larger stores have more types of pastries, and there are more high-end and beautiful pastries. " Lu Xiao said.

Chen Nian nodded: "Indeed, because the consumption is different, the cakes or breads they make in places with high consumption will have more gimmicks in shape and appearance, and there are many of those stores that allow customers to enjoy themselves in the store. food."

"I also discovered your point. The cake shops in our place are basically bought and eaten back. There are no tables and chairs in the shop, but I saw that many cake shops in Chengdu are equipped with tables and chairs, and there are also drinks. The customers sit down and rest while eating and drinking." Lu Xiao agreed.

"Yes, because there may be more tourists in Chengdu, and there are more young people who go shopping during the break time. If it is just selling cakes and bread, then many people will not go in. It is inconvenient to carry things in your hands when you go shopping, but if there is a place to rest, it will attract many customers.” Chen Nian explained the reason for this.

But after the explanation, Chen Nian asked one more question: "Sister, how is your store doing? Do you want to visit tomorrow?"

Lu Xiao nodded, sat down and rested while drinking tea and said: "Yes, I will go and have a look tomorrow. There are still two or three companies that I talked about before. I can finish it in the morning, and I will take the bus to go around in the afternoon. Go around, maybe you can meet some.”

After Chen Nian finished chatting here, it was finally Feng Honghong's turn to intervene: "Xiao Xiao, come to the store for breakfast tomorrow morning, we serve breakfast in the restaurant."

"Okay." Lu Xiao agreed.

In this way, around ten o'clock in the evening, everyone got off work and left, but Qiao Zhaomei saw that Chen Nian had no intention of leaving, so she asked curiously, "Boss, aren't you going home?"

At this time, Xie Yu explained from the side: "Master stays in the store much longer than us every day. After ten o'clock when we come home from get off work, he will stay in the store and practice cooking. Look at the wall. There are so many dishes, there is only one mapo tofu at the beginning, and the rest are all learned by the boss with the extra time every day."

Qiao Zhaomei also knew about the fact that Honghong Restaurant only had one dish at the beginning. After all, he checked the Internet about Honghong Restaurant yesterday after he successfully applied for the job. Naturally, this legendary story about the boss was also recorded.

"The boss is really working too hard. I also want to learn from the boss. Boss, can I stay and practice with you every day?" Qiao Zhaomei suddenly asked.

After hearing Qiao Zhaomei's words, Xie Yu quickly pulled Qiao Zhaomei aside before Chen Nian could answer: "Sister Zhao, don't ask this question, although the boss practices in the store every day, sometimes there will be friends of the boss Come here, and we suspect that one of them is the boss's girlfriend, aren't you staying here as a light bulb? If you want to practice, you can go home and practice. He Hai and I only practice after returning home every day." Qiao Zhaomei heard Only here did I suddenly realize.

Then he quickly said: "Boss, after thinking about it, I'd better go home and practice at home. Anyway, my girlfriend eats late at night, so I just go back and cook for her, so I think it's exercise."

"Zhaomei, what does your girlfriend do?"

"She is a writer. I used to be her reader. Later, I joined her book friend group. I got to know her from time to time. I just found out that she was in Chengdu. After we dated online for two years, didn't I come to Chengdu to find her? She's running."

"Then you said earlier that you came to Chengdu because you like Chengdu food?" Chen Nian suddenly thought of what Qiao Zhaomei said earlier.

"Yeah, that's part of the reason. In short, everything happened by coincidence."

"Okay, then I won't keep you." Speaking of this, Chen Nian suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I know that you actually practice after you go home every day, but you have to buy your own vegetables when you practice at home. Buy meat, how about this, the three of you will be given an extra 200 yuan each from next month, and then you can use this money to buy some ingredients and go home to practice."

"Thank you Master!"

"thank you boss!"

"Okay, then you can go home from get off work and pay attention to safety on the road."

"Okay, goodbye boss!"

"Goodbye, Master!"

After saying that, the three of them left the Honghong Hotel, but after walking out of the Honghong Hotel, Qiao Zhaomei found that she and the two of them went home in the same direction.

"Is your family here too?"

"Yes." He Hai nodded, "Then you live with your girlfriend?"

"Yes, we rented a house. She is responsible for paying the rent, and I am responsible for other living expenses." When Qiao Zhaomei talked about this topic, her face was filled with happiness.

"That's great. My girlfriend is still in my hometown. She has always wanted to come to me, but I was afraid that I would be unstable here, so I didn't let her come. Today I will go back and ask, if If she comes, I will rent a bigger house." He Hai said.

"Yes, if you can bring your girlfriend to live together, you still have to stay together. Otherwise, it will be easy to break up after a long time. Even if you encounter a little conflict, you may get angry. As time goes by, you will quarrel more and more. From time to time, maybe after a quarrel, you two will be cold." Xie Yu said.

"It seems that brother Xie is someone from here." He Hai couldn't help turning his head to look at Xie Yu who was half a head taller than him and said.

"Hey, I won't mention those things back then. Anyway, I'm married now. In short, when it comes to dating, try not to engage in long-distance relationships as long as you can be by your side."

Hearing that the two of them talked about the topic of love, Qiao Zhaomei asked again: "By the way, has our boss always been this generous? If you say wages increase, you can increase wages. I only came here on the first day today. The increase was two hundred, and I feel that he is so capricious."

Xie Yu patted Qiao Zhaomei on the shoulder: "It will be good to get used to it gradually in the future. There is nothing you can't say about salary here, and I don't know if our master has told you. I have been here since I came to Honghong Hotel three or four months ago. Up to now, it has increased by about [-], and He Hai is similar, and not only that, we have also learned technology."

"The salary has been increased by 2000 yuan in three or four months?" Qiao Zhaomei felt a little unbelievable, because he remembered that Chen Nian and He Hai had said that when He Hai first came, he still knew nothing. Do odd jobs!

"He Hai may have been here a little longer, he has been here for half a year." Xie Yu said again.

"It's amazing, I feel like I have a bright future here."

"Yes, at least the salary offered by Honghong Hotel is higher than the industry standard, and the more important point is that you can learn something. Sooner or later, Honghong Restaurant will continue to expand or open branches, so although you are now It is a lottery, but it is impossible to be a lottery for a lifetime. How much technical content can cutting and buying vegetables have?
Since you like cooking, you should take a good look at it when you are working and study it carefully. When you have the opportunity, you will naturally be able to take care of yourself like us, and you can rest assured about this. I feel that although our master is still young, and On the surface, he looks more Buddhist, but in fact he is also ambitious. "

"Okay, I will work hard." Qiao Zhaomei said.

……

Chen Nian was the only one left in Honghong Hotel.

He is still making small noodles, and now he has been eating small noodles as a supper for several nights in a row.

But before making the noodles, Chen Nian asked again in the group, who would like to come over for supper, tonight is chicken noodles with pickled peppers.

As a result, after the news was sent out, everyone said that it might not be possible tonight.

Xiao Jing: "I really want to go, but today I just went out to shoot with a few friends from Chongqing, and now I can't go back to Chongqing, it's really too difficult for me..."

Shen Qing: "After the company has to work overtime for an hour and a half tonight, is your boss still open?"

Chen Nian: "In an hour and a half, I will close the door and go back. Next time."

Miao Miao Wu: "I'm filming at home, maybe I can't go."

Neither Xu Qiu nor Luoye spoke. They only sent a photo. In the photo, the surroundings were smudged and the two were holding hands. There were also two movie tickets next to it. The time shown was ten ten o'clock.

The movie lasts at least one and a half hours, that is to say, even if they want to come here, they can only take about the same time as Shen Qing.

And Yan Lili didn't send a message at all, but Chen Nian guessed that the other party should be studying now and had no time to look at the phone.

In the end, after going around like this, no one wanted to come. Just when Chen Nian was about to make a bowl for himself, WeChat suddenly rang again. He picked up his phone and saw that it was An Hongdou who was talking about himself in private.

"No one has dinner with you? How about I go there? It happens that there is nothing to do at night, and I planned to make noodles at home."

"The chicken offal with pickled peppers, can you do it? If I'm not used to it, I can also make noodles." Chen Nian asked back.

"Don't you just underestimate me, I can eat anything, don't worry, I'll be there soon after I wash up."

After putting down the phone, Chen Nian's face was full of smiles again.

It didn't take long for An Hongdou to arrive, wearing a white printed short-sleeve and a pair of ripped trousers, but the hole may be a little bigger, of course, it might be considered conservative on the street.

But other than that, it was the same as before, she was still wearing a hat and a mask, and no one would recognize her when she went out at night.

"Are you still so careful?" Chen Nian joked with a smile after seeing An Hongdou.

"Yeah, what if someone recognizes you? Although for singers like us, they may not be as well-known as those singers who often appear in variety shows, give concerts or come out of auditions, but we still have to be careful."

Chen Nian nodded: "That's true, but I always feel that you are not busy at all recently, and you are completely different from other celebrities."

"It's okay, I just don't like those various variety shows. The main reason is that some scripts are too obvious, and they have to speculate on CP. If you are not careful, you will be chased and scolded by other fans." An Hongdou said, "I actually have a job, and occasionally some media interview me, but those can be done remotely, and there are some commercials, which can basically be shot in half a day to a day."

"Then no company wants to sign you? It should be better if there is a company." Chen Nian asked curiously.

"Yes." An Hongdou nodded, "Actually, after I became popular, many companies have approached me. Basically, companies large and small in the circle have come to ask me, but the requirements of those companies are not Very troublesome, although they can provide me with a lot of resources, but also have a lot of restrictions.

But recently, another company contacted me and said that their boss is also a singer in the industry and wanted to sign me. After signing the contract, there are basically no restrictions. I can accept commercials at any time. You can let the company come forward, but if the company comes forward, you will get [-]% of it, but this is safer. You can tell the company when you want to release a song, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to release a song. "

"Then isn't this stocking?"

"Yes, and there are thousands of dollars in salary every month."

"That's really good." Chen Nian couldn't help but nodded.

There are really too few companies that don't require singers to participate in activities, go on tour, go to variety shows after signing people in this way, and don't have to forcefully fry CP with other stars.

"Then you should think about it carefully. It's best to ask someone to take a look at the contract, so as not to be tricked by others."

"Don't worry, I will." An Hongdou nodded heavily, "Miao Miaowu also has a manager and a lawyer she knows, and she will find someone to take a look at it for me."

While talking, Chen Nian made chicken noodles with pickled peppers, and he was also very familiar with the taste of An Hongdou.

So I made two bowls of spicy and spicy noodles with myself and served them on the table together.

"This color is too appetizing." An Hongdou exclaimed as she looked at the bowl of noodles.

"Hey, the two of us, why are you telling me these things here? Isn't it the same for the ones sold outside?" Chen Nian laughed.

"This is not to give you some encouragement."

"This encouragement is somewhat exaggerated." Chen Nian showed a rather helpless look.

However, for this bowl of pickled pepper chicken noodles, Chen Nian took the time to look at the recipe, and his proficiency is already very high, mainly because there is no problem with the noodles, and Chen Nian has his own understanding of pickled pepper chicken noodles As well as the experience gained from Miao Miao Wu, with the combination of the two, only fine-tuning is needed.

Through yesterday's attempt, Chen Nian already knows which aspect to adjust, so it is naturally handy to do it again.

Another season will pass the pickled pepper chicken noodles, and then we can continue to research new toppings, and with the experience of these two times, Chen Nian is also quite confident in the next few toppings.

Afterwards, the two chatted about the filming tomorrow while eating noodles, and Chen Nian also asked the other party about the candidates for tomorrow's guests.

And An Hongdou said that this point should be kept secret, and he will know it tomorrow, because they will show that surprised look when the guests come tomorrow.

The more natural the better.

The more An Hongdou got older, the more curious she became.

After eating, An Hongdou waited for Chen Nian to finish cleaning up the shop, and they left the Honghong Restaurant together.

"Why don't we go for a stroll? We were full just now, and we don't have anything to do now when we go back." An Hongdou suddenly suggested.

"Where are you going?" Chen Nian suddenly became excited.

"How about going to Chunxi Road?"

"Chunxi Road? Shall we take a taxi? It may be a little far away."

"Don't take a taxi, or you can ride an electric car. Anyway, there should be no traffic police at night..." An Hongdou pointed to the electric car outside the Honghong Hotel and said.

"It may take a long time to ride this, about four to five 10 minutes."

"It's okay, are you in a hurry to go back at night?" An Hongdou obviously didn't care much about this time, after all, even if she went to bed naturally, she would have to wait until two or three o'clock every day.

"Don't worry!" Chen Nian replied immediately.

Chen Nian thought, no matter how anxious he is, can he go shopping with An Hongdou in a hurry?

Obviously not!
Moreover, the electric car was fully charged in the afternoon, let alone going to Chunxi Road, even running back and forth would be no problem at all!

The round trip from here to Chunxi Road is only fifteen or sixteen kilometers.

So Chen Nian ran back to the store again, took a soft cushion from the chair over the bar and tied it to the back seat.

"boarding."

Chen Nian was sitting handsomely on the electric scooter, and when he tilted his head, he beckoned An Hongdou to sit in the back.

An Hongdou sat on the back seat with a straddle. Feeling the cushion under her body, she felt that this man was a little caring.

Then he easily supported Chen Nian's waist.

It doesn't matter this support, Chen Nian is like a racing driver who got adrenaline rush before the race!
"Are you seated? I'm leaving!" Chen Nian asked.

"Wait a minute." An Hongdou said suddenly, "Want to listen to the song?"

Chen Nian turned his head to look, and saw An Hongdou took out the earphones from his small bag, raised one and shook it at himself.

"Listen." Put an earphone on your ear.

"Is there any song you want to hear?"

Listening to the voice from An Hongdou in the back seat, Chen Nian wanted to say that he listened to your song, but then he felt that it was inappropriate. Listening to her song in front of the Lord would make the other party feel ashamed...

"It's May Day."

"This is my favorite singer group when I was in school. When I was in college, they went to a concert. I also volunteered. I heard the live concert for free. Now that I think about it, it's still I feel very good.

If I have a chance in the future, I must go and see it again. "Chen Nian said with recollection.

As the electric car started slowly, An Hongdou sat in the back and played the song. She searched for Mayday in the software, and then pressed the play button without looking at the title of the song.

In this way, all the songs that will be played next are Mayday songs.

As the prelude sounded, Chen Nian quickly recognized this very classic song.

"It's okay to stay up late chatting with you until your liver explodes.
It doesn't matter if you have flat feet when you go shopping with you

Thank you so much for letting me reiterate the whole orz
let me love again
fall in love
happy ing
It's like being on a jet plane"

After hearing this song, the two of them were a little embarrassed at first. After all, they both had their own concerns at the moment. When this song about love sounded, they didn't know what to say for a while.

But the rendering power of this song is so strong that they couldn't help humming along as they listened to it. As a result, the more they sang, the louder they became. In the end, the two of them sang while singing at a speed of 27 kilometers per hour. Enjoy the brilliant lights of the city in this night.

"You are the air, but the smell is better than the air

You are the sun, but you can shine into the middle of the night
Water can carry a boat and cook porridge, which feeds life
You are Vitamin Love..."
