Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 399 It's Good to Have You (Monthly Ticket Asked)
At that time, Qiao Zhaomei was terrified when she saw it. It was boiled water. If the long fish jumped and splashed out and burned her arm, it would be a piece. If it splashed on her face, the handsome face of the boss might be ruined. up.

But the old age does not give the long fish a chance to counterattack.

After taking it out, drain the water and put it into the pot to start stir-frying, then put in various seasonings, and keep shaking the spoon over high heat.

Seeing the color and taste of those long fishes becoming more and more attractive, Qiao Zhaomei suddenly had an idea: "Why don't you also worship the boss as your teacher?"

Look at Xie Yu and He Hai, the two of them have become apprentices of the boss, and now they are almost reaching the pinnacle of life.

The three of them live not far away, so they walk together every night when they go home, and they chat on the way.

Xie Yu and He Hai said that if they didn't work in the Honghong Hotel, they would have paid at least 8000 yuan if they went out and searched for it.

If I have some savings in hand and open my own shop, I may earn more in that month.

But they also know where their craft comes from, and they also understand that they can always learn new things with aging, as long as aging is still learning and researching, then they will always have something to learn.

Once this idea appeared, it was out of control.

But now he still has to help the boss arrange the dishes first.

For Chen Nian, the whole work became much easier after having Qiao Zhaomei.

As long as I keep cooking, I don’t need to worry about cutting vegetables, meat, and arranging the dishes, and Qiao Zhaomei sometimes even spares time to help serve the dishes.

The words are divided into two parts.

When the soft pocket long fish was placed on the table, some people looked at it like that and dared not move their chopsticks, but those who didn't mind the eel said on the spot that other dishes can be shared, but this dish must The average score!

Because it is really delicious!
Because the taste of eel is very delicious, there is a folk proverb that "eel competes with ginseng in Xiaoshu".

And the reason why this dish is called this name is because in ancient times, the current method was basically used to make long fish.

Moreover, the fish meat is very mellow and tender after being cooked. When you pick it up with chopsticks, the two ends hang down, like a girdle on a child's chest.

Among the people present, Brother Hou is still familiar with this dish, because he is originally from Jiangsu, and he often ate this dish at the banquet when he was a child.

At the beginning, Brother Hou was a little afraid to eat this dish after seeing it. At that time, the adults lied to him that it was stir-fried vegetable root, which is what it looks like after the vegetable root is fried.

As a result, the more he ate, the more he liked it. After knowing the truth, he couldn't stop his love for this dish at all.

It’s just that after I came to work in Sichuan, I seldom could eat this dish. Although there are also ways to make long fish here, it’s still not their side, so I can only eat it occasionally.

But he didn't expect to be able to eat this dish today, and the taste is very authentic.

Although it is not the "biganqing" long fish around the Dragon Boat Festival, after all, this is just a small restaurant, but it can still be seen from the cooking method that the chef has a deep understanding of this dish.

From Brother Hou's point of view, the back of the dish is bright and tender after being cooked.

When the chopsticks are pinched, the long fish trembles and jumps slightly, as if it is alive. Its meat is elastic, tender and firm, and it is shiny and smooth under the light.

Putting this dish into the mouth, I only feel that the entrance is tender and tender, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, but after swallowing it, I will only feel fresh and refreshing in the mouth, without the earthy smell of eel that is not handled well.

When they finished eating, they touched their stomachs one by one, feeling very satisfied.

"Brother Feng had a really good meal today. I really didn't expect to be able to eat so many dishes that I have never heard of in this small restaurant."

"Yeah, Brother Feng, before when we came here to eat, we could only order the dishes on the wall, and then watched the owner of this shop bring dishes that were not on the menu to the private room one by one, and now we finally ate them in our stomachs. It can be regarded as being in your light."

"Brother Feng, when will you buy a new house and come here to hold a housewarming party, so that the brothers can taste this delicacy again?"

After Tian Maifeng heard this, he waved his hands again and again: "Please forgive me, I have already spent all my savings to buy this apartment, and now I still owe 80. Many of you here are my creditors. I can only do my best now. Pay back everyone's money first, how dare you think about the next house?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Brother Hou also stood up: "This food is really awesome. I used to think that such delicious dishes can only be eaten in big restaurants. Some dishes can be prepared in such a small restaurant, but they may not be able to be delicious. The fragrance is delicious, Brother Feng opened my eyes today, and I will invite everyone to come here for a meal when I have a chance in the future!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Monkey's treat. Brother Monkey remember to tell me a few days in advance so that I can empty my stomach first."

"You are exaggerating. If you don't eat a few days in advance, you will have to go to the hospital. Unlike me, I only need to empty my stomach one day in advance."

Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, Tian Maifeng also stood up and took a spare cup from the side: "Everyone, thank you very much for coming to this housewarming banquet today, and we will have another drink at the end. But I want to invite the bosses here too, what do you think?"

"Oh my god, you've said what's on my mind, I really want to have a drink with the boss!"

"Go quickly, invite the boss, let's have a drink with the boss!"

Wen Hongxia, who was passing by, heard the words in the box, and hurried back to the kitchen: "Xiao Chen, the people in the box want to ask you to have a drink."

Chen Nian thought for a while that he hadn't drunk for a while, and the guests in that box were all young people, about the same age as him.

What's more, it is a blessing in itself to have a drink with someone who can appreciate the dishes you cook.

So Chen Nian waited here until the person in the box came to call him, he smiled and agreed without much hesitation, and walked towards the box.

When I came to the door of the private room, I opened the door and entered. As soon as I entered, Chen Nian asked, "How do you feel about today's meal? If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"No, boss, the dishes you cook are very delicious. Did you come from a star-rated hotel to do it alone?" Brother Monkey asked curiously.

"This brother is joking. I am not qualified to go to that kind of star hotel. I don't have a certificate and I don't have enough work experience. Even if I go, I will do odd jobs for others." Chen Nian said with a smile.

"No, boss, I heard they said that you have opened the shop for half a year, so it's impossible to really only have half a year of work experience?" Brother Monkey asked in disbelief.

"That's half a year. At the beginning, I only had one dish in this restaurant, and that was because I knew how to do it. Later, I added it after I learned it slowly. But I just had a meal with my friends some time ago. We co-produced a video, which is more detailed, if you are curious, you can go and watch it." Chen Nian said.

"Who is it? Where are you going to see it?"

"For Miaomiaowu, if her video hasn't been posted yet, you can watch it in two days, but this time it's a collaboration video, so she should be more efficient." Chen Nian said conservatively.

After all, Wu Miao Miao was the one who edited the video, and Chen Nian can only estimate the time.

After all, Miaomiaowu's work is relatively busy, and if there is any business or a business trip for some shooting, the time may be delayed.

"So you guys are working together again? This time I have to watch it. I've known for a long time that you often eat together, but I didn't expect you to join forces to shoot a video." The girl said happily, "I like Miao so much." Wonderful!"

Chen Nian smiled after hearing this: "There will be two more mysterious guests at that time, so I won't say much here."

At this moment, Tian Maifeng handed another glass full of wine to Chen Nian: "Boss, why don't we toast you together, thank you for cooking such a delicious meal for us today."

Although he took the wine glass, Chen Nian waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "You can't say that, you paid for this meal and it's not my treat. I want to thank you for trusting Honghong Hotel, and for making the housewarming possible." The banquet is here with us."

"Hahaha, the boss is too good at talking, this is high EQ."

In the end, Chen Nian was still more stubborn than the crowd, and was offered a toast by everyone.

"Okay, but I also have to congratulate you for owning your own house. From now on, you will also be a homeowner. Like me, let alone paying back the money, I still owe a lot of foreign debts. I can't afford to buy a house."

"No way, boss, aren't you making a lot of money here?"

"If you want to make money, you have to pay off your debts first. In the past, our store was only half the size, and there were no private rooms at all. Later, when the store next door came up for sale, we took it. So we used the previous savings at that time to share with relatives and friends. I borrowed some and got a loan to buy it.”

"It's really not easy, but with your skills, Boss, you will be able to earn back the money sooner or later. What you spent before is considered an investment." Brother Monkey nodded and said.

"I hope. The tastes of customers are different every day. Maybe they like it today and they don't like it tomorrow. And you know the housing prices in Chengdu now. In short, let's work hard together." Chen Nian sighed and said, still young at the right time. Xiaodi sold miserably.

It caused everyone to nod their heads again and again, thinking that this boss is too down-to-earth, and also has common troubles with them.

After sending a few people away, Chen Nian went back to the busy work in the kitchen, and before that, he could only take care of the dishes for the banquet. Now that the banquet is over, orders from other guests are pouring in.

"Sure enough, it feels different to work for yourself." While working, Chen Nian thought to himself that although the current job is tiring, no matter how much he earns, it's all his own.

After removing various costs such as ingredients, seasonings, utilities, wages, etc., and paying all kinds of taxes that should be paid, the rest is earned by yourself.

No need to share with others.

Although Chen Nian has not been to work since graduation, he still worked during his internship before. At that time, he felt that he could not earn much money by working for others.

Of course, Chen Nian also recruits employees. Although it is impossible for Chen Nian to distribute all the money he earns to them, it is not a problem to try to give them wages higher than the industry average.

Giving an extra 2000 yuan per person is actually nothing to me, but at least it is very useful to them, and the employees under me work hard, so I can have better business.

Or just like Xie Yu and He Hai directly worshiping him as a teacher, Chen Nian really regards them as his apprentices, and will not hide them like some people do.

Chen Nian doesn't think he can starve his master to death after teaching his apprentices. After all, the industry is constantly developing, so even if you become a master, you have to keep learning.

As long as I keep learning, the apprentices will always have something to learn, as long as they always have something to learn, they will always learn from themselves.

In this way, a virtuous circle can be formed.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help turning his head to glance at the people in the store. The three people in the kitchen met Chen Nian's eyes and didn't know what Chen Nian meant: "Master/Boss, what's the matter?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "It's okay, just to see that you feel good."

"By the way, I'm going to make short rib noodles tonight. Do you want to stay for supper? But it will probably be after eleven o'clock when you eat the noodles."

Chen Nian added another sentence.

The eyes of the three of them suddenly lit up when they heard that there was actually a late-night snack.

Xie Yu and He Hai said in unison: "Boss, I can!"

And Qiao Zhaomei hesitated: "Boss, my girlfriend is still at home...can I ask her to come with me?"

"Of course, but is it okay for her to come out so late?" Chen Nian asked.

"It's okay, she is writing novels, she sleeps very late every day, and we often have supper outside." Qiao Zhaomei said.

"Then you have a good relationship." Chen Nian said, thinking that this is another night owl profession, just like An Hongdou.

"Then why don't you call your girlfriend first and tell her that you can ride the electric bike in the store back and pick her up then."

"Okay, then boss, I'll make a call right now." Qiao Zhaomei said.

……

"Hey, baby, have you finished writing today?" Qiao Zhaomei asked after she came outside with her mobile phone and made a call.

Soon there was a pleasant voice: "Not yet, hahaha, I played all day today and didn't write a single word..."

And Qiao Zhaomei sighed when she heard this. Girlfriends are like this. They don’t want to write a word until the end of the daily update: "Today our boss wants to treat us to supper in the store. It’s short rib noodles that haven’t been sold yet. Do you want to eat?"

"Your boss treats guests to supper? Didn't you just go? You have integrated into the group so quickly?"

"Yes, our boss is very nice, and the boss's mother is also very nice. She also said that if you want to come, you can lend me the electric car and let me go back and pick you up."
