Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 400 Fiction Writer
"Wow, so good? Can I go?"

"Of course, but if you come, you'd better finish writing earlier. I get off work at about ten o'clock in the evening. I may help out here at that time. I will go back to pick you up at about 10:30."

"Okay, then I'll write it now, and I can put on some makeup after I finish it. After all, it's hard to go out once, so I can't embarrass you!"

"It's okay, you're already pretty, you can do without makeup, I'll call you when I get off work."

"No problem, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhaomei came back to work again, but the others were still very curious about Qiao Zhaomei's girlfriend.

But this is just a normal curiosity about the profession of a novel writer.

I am also curious about what kind of girls can be found in online dating.

So in the following time, Qiao Zhaomei had no choice but to tell them about some living habits and routines of the novel author while busy with work. Of course, most of them were heard by Qiao Zhaomei from her girlfriend.

At night, everyone in the kitchen planned to stay and wait for supper, and Feng Honghong naturally stayed, saying that she wanted to help clean up together.

After all, after going back, I just watch the live broadcast or read novels on Douyin, nothing else.

Just in time to find out what my son does in the restaurant every day after he goes back.

It's just that Wen Hongxia had to go home. After all, she was a little tired at night after working all day.

If I stay home until twelve o'clock, I'm afraid I won't have much mental work tomorrow.

So in the end, Qiao Zhaomei drove Wen Hongxia home on an old electric car.

Then he changed his way back to his home to pick up his girlfriend.

Chen Nian is busy in the kitchen at the moment, while kneading noodles, he is telling He Hai the points to pay attention to when making small noodles.

Among them, the proportion of water, noodles, salt and the proportion of alkaline noodles should be carefully considered. There is one thing in common between making small noodles and making other noodles, that is, the air humidity is different in summer and winter, and the water in the noodles must be adjusted to a certain extent. minor adjustments.

Including when it rains and when it doesn't rain.

He Hai kept all these firmly in his heart.

Although it was not the first time for Xie Yu to hear such words, after all he went home with He Hai every day, and He Hai also told him a lot about white cases.

But it still sounds a little weird now.

He has always been doing red cases before, and he never thought of dividing the seasons when making noodles.

Then there is still time for fermentation.

Since Chen Nian had thoroughly studied fermentation engineering when he was in school, he knew the mechanism and principle of fermentation clearly, so he learned and kneaded dough very quickly later.

Normal people can understand the factor of season and fine-tune the proportion according to the season, at least they have to learn for many years.

Although He Hai doesn't know about fermentation engineering, Chen Nian is very competent as a teacher. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the principles, you just need to memorize it by rote first, and then slowly understand it based on experience.

"Master, do we have similar details on the red case?" Xie Yu felt a little itchy in his heart. He also wanted to learn more about this aspect, but it was obvious that the knowledge on the white case was not particularly useful to him.

"Yes, although you mainly cook Sichuan cuisine, you should also master some other cuisines. Let me give you an example. Cooking soup in Guangdong also depends on the season. Different solar terms make different soups. Spring and summer Autumn and winter are also different, and the drinks at noon and evening are also different.

Each soup has its corresponding efficacy and effect. Although they have a high chance of suffering from gout, I have to say that their various Laohuo soups are really delicious. "

"What you lack now is actually just some experience. Secondly, there is still a lot of room for improvement in knife skills and heat. Secondly, the understanding of cooking also needs to be pondered. When you understand these, you can I have started to delve into the ingredients, and in many chef competitions, if I don’t have this kind of understanding, I won’t get the ranking at all.”

Chen Nian was talking, Xie Yu was listening.

He felt a little half-understood, as if he had caught something, but it was not particularly clear.

But today, Master is making noodles, so if you don't understand something, I'd better wait for the next opportunity to ask about it.

After reconciling the noodles, Chen Nian went to teach He Hai how to make pork rib toppings.

Ribs and beef toppings are basically the same in terms of methods, and the order of ingredients and ingredients that need to be put in is also similar. The heat required to make ribs toppings is also exactly the same, but the overall time is half an hour less.

Pork is used for pork ribs, and pork is easier to cook than beef in this respect.

And there are bones in the middle of the ribs, which means that the meat is not so thick, so the time will naturally be shortened.

Otherwise, the stewing time is too long, and the meat on the ribs will be too rotten.

Although it is convenient to eat like that, the pork ribs are not chewy.

This time, Chen Nian felt that he should thank Miao Miaowu very much. If Miao Miaowu hadn't helped him and told him so many points to pay attention to, his production progress on the small surface would never have been as fast as it is now.

It is much easier to be fed by someone than to fumble from scratch.

Chen Nian thinks it is good to have so few friends in the same industry who can communicate and discuss with each other.

At least it is much better than working behind closed doors alone.

Even if you have a recipe, it's not the kind of golden finger that Ultimate Invincible gives you for free. If you can't be invincible, you still have to communicate with friends in the same industry.

While they were chatting, there were some shrill braking sounds outside.

It's Qiao Zhaomei who is here.

After parking and locking the electric car, he walked in with a very beautiful girl.

The girl is about 1.7 meters long, with straight long hair. She is about 23 or [-] years old. She has a delicate oval face and light makeup on her face. Although the makeup does not look professional, it also makes the girl much more beautiful. .

The girl was wearing a loose yellow short sleeve with Mickey Mouse printed on the chest, and a pair of denim shorts underneath. Her long white and straight legs were even a bit dazzling. fiction writer.

After all, when it comes to writing novels, the first thing many people think of is Fat House.

"Boss, this is my girlfriend." Qiao Zhaomei introduced.

"Hello, hello, come and sit down first, and it will be done later." Chen Nian greeted quickly.

"Thank you." The girl also behaved very politely, and gave the impression that she was relatively introverted.

But thinking about it, I need to stay at home every day to write a novel. Even if I have many author friends, they are all chatting online.

"This girl is so beautiful and tall, you are really lucky to recruit a girl!" Feng Honghong exclaimed.

"Yeah, she is very nice. I think the two luckiest things for me to come to Chengdu are that the first thing is to meet my girlfriend, and the second thing is to be able to work here." Qiao Zhaomei said seriously.

"Okay, then you guys chat first, I'll go back and look at the ribs." Chen Nian got up and said.

"I'm going to learn from Master." He Hai followed closely behind.

"I'll go and smell it." Xie Yu also found an excuse.

Then Chen Nian, He Hai, and Xie Yu returned to the kitchen at the same time, continuing to stare at the pot.

Only Feng Honghong was left outside to chat with the young couple and pour water or something.

After all, Chen Nian and the three of them were also afraid that their three big men would stand outside and make other girls feel embarrassed.

After all, I'm new here, and I don't know anyone except Qiao Zhaomei.

Chen Nian wanted to let his mother chat with that girl more, and when the girl was less nervous, it would be much better for everyone to eat together.

And Feng Honghong is worthy of being the number one socialite at Honghong Hotel, the girl who talked in a few words let go of her guard, and gradually became less nervous.

As for Qiao Zhaomei, she gradually felt relieved after seeing that her girlfriend had gotten used to the environment here. After all, he was still afraid that her girlfriend would not adapt to such an environment.

"Girl, I heard from Zhaomei that you are writing novels, what kind of book are you writing?" Feng Honghong asked curiously, after all, Qiao Zhaomei had heard about this before.

And when the girl heard that her cheeks were a little red, she couldn't help pulling her hair on the sideburns: "Auntie, very few people read my book, otherwise I'd better not talk about it."

Qiao Zhaomei added at this time: "Auntie, she is just a little embarrassed."

Feng Honghong thought about it and it was normal. After all, sometimes the things written in novels are more exaggerated. If the girl said it, she might be a little embarrassed, and if no one read the stuff, she would also embarrass the other party by bragging.

And the most important point is that we are not the same age.

After all, Feng Honghong herself secretly wrote some love stories when she was in school, and she was very afraid of being discovered at that time.

"That's right, then Auntie won't ask? But can Auntie ask what your pen name is? After all, Auntie just wants to know about your industry." Feng Honghong thought about it and asked again.

Speaking of pen names, girls are not as shameful as their works.

After all, the names of some of the books she wrote are very shameful.

But when it comes to the pseudonym, this aunt may not be able to find it.

But that was also mainly to cater to the market.

But it's fine online, but in reality it's very social.

"Auntie, my pen name is Jiujiuzi."

Feng Honghong was startled when she heard this, and subconsciously said, "Vinegar? It's that domineering president who loves his wife like..." She suddenly thought of a book she had read a while ago, but she hadn't finished reading the title of the book. Shut up quickly.

After all, to read this kind of book at such an age, it's a shame to say it.

And the jealous face who was suddenly called to break the title of his book turned red: "Auntie, why..."

This also made Feng Honghong blush, and she inadvertently glanced at Qiao Zhaomei.

Qiao Zhaomei immediately understood, and glanced at her girlfriend again: "Baby, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, can you chat with Auntie first?"

"Okay, you go."

Qiao Zhaomei also saw the same meaning from her girlfriend's face, so she quickly got up and went to the kitchen, leaving the space outside for the two of them.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Feng Honghong said: "I have finished reading this book, how can no one read it! This book is so well written! And it is because I read this book that I am jealous... No, I just finished reading all your other books! I'm your loyal fan!"

Chu Jiuzi was a little dumbfounded at the moment, although embarrassed but also felt very strange.

Unexpectedly, the mother of the owner of the restaurant where my boyfriend works is actually my book fan!
"Thank you, Auntie, I wrote those books casually." Jiu Jiuzi said shyly.

Feng Honghong shook her head: "It doesn't look like it was written casually. I found the book from the rankings. I think this book is very well written. There are a few paragraphs in it that I couldn't help but cry, especially when Fang Ming was in the middle of it. When cooking Xiaoyao's last meal."

When Jiu Jiuzimei thought of Feng Honghong talking about these details, she even felt a little moved for a moment.

However, she quickly thought of another thing: "Auntie, where did you read it?"

She was really afraid that the aunt in front of her would say things like pen * cabinet, full * reading, chasing * artifacts and so on.

"I read it in Beijiang. Speaking of which, I even rewarded you with two torpedoes. I never tipped or gave gifts when I was reading a book. I just watered it occasionally, but I couldn't bear to read your book." Stay." Feng Honghong said while taking out her mobile phone to show Jiu Jiuzi her fan interface and her fan title.

Jiu Jiuzi took a look and found that the aunt in front of her had really tipped herself.

This made the distance between them a little closer. The aunt in front of her was a fan of her book. She had read her book on the official website, and even tipped her!

She remembered this id, and wondered why this person didn't join the group after tipping 200 yuan.

Fate, amazing.

By the time the few people in the kitchen came out, the relationship between the two of them was already very good.

It's surprisingly fast!

"Girl, are you still writing when you go back today? Your book today hasn't been updated yet, but it won't be too early to go back after dinner." Feng Honghong asked worriedly.

And Jiu Jiuzi finally experienced the feeling of being urged face-to-face: "Auntie, when I recruited my sister to call me in the afternoon, I thought that I would finish writing earlier and go out for dinner at night, but I wrote After a while, I was too hungry to write, and I was afraid of embarrassing my sister, so I needed to put on makeup, which I am not very skilled in, so I tried several times before it turned into what it is now, so I finally had to ask for leave, and I will make up tomorrow."

"So that's why you stopped updating today?" Qiao Zhaomei asked from the side.

"I didn't do it on purpose. I'm here to eat." Jiu Jiuzi said with a smile, looking very cute.

After seeing the two sitting together, Feng Honghong finally realized: "Did you write that book because you met Zhaomei at that time?"

"Yeah, when I met Zhao Mei, he said that he was a chef, and after we got together, I..."

"That's great." Feng Honghong looked at the young couple enviously, and then looked at the son sitting next to him with hatred, "Chen Nian, look at this table, the ones who are in love, the ones who are in love. If you are married, you are the only one who has nothing!"

And Chen Nian was also a little helpless, he didn't know how to answer for a while, the best way to face this kind of question was to pretend that he didn't hear it, and put a piece of ribs in his mouth.

He deftly separated the bone with his teeth and tongue, and then spit it into the trash can beside him.

"The taste is not bad." Chen Nian said in an unexpected answer.

"As long as you know how to eat, I would rather you earn less money and spend a little more time every day to talk about a girlfriend?" But it is obvious that Chen Nian can't fool his mother.

And Jiu Jiuzi was also surprised that Chen Nian is so young, so handsome, cooks deliciously, talks funny, and is a nice person, yet he doesn't have a girlfriend yet?

"Boss, I know a lot of single female authors, and some of them are very beautiful and can make a lot of money. Would you like me to introduce you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian quickly waved his hands: "No need, no need, I'll just find this kind of thing slowly, I'm a person who cares more about fate."

"Okay then." Jiu Jiuzi nodded, she guessed that the boss might have a girl he likes, otherwise generally speaking, he wouldn't refuse so quickly.

Psychological description is very important in writing novels, and the ability to make up brains is even more important.

But don't tell me if you see it clearly, Jiu Jiuzi put his eyes on the bowl of short rib noodles.

She herself is from Sichuan, and her family lives in Mianyang.

Before that, she came to Chengdu to work, but later she gradually made money as a part-time novel, so she simply quit her job and wrote books full-time.

When I started living alone, although I occasionally cooked, I still bought food most of the time because it was more convenient.

So she still has some experience in eating.

When she meets someone she likes to eat, she can order takeout from others for half a month, until the store will take the initiative to deliver food and drinks.

Although I rarely give bad reviews when I encounter bad food, I will definitely add this restaurant to the blacklist, and I will never order it again in the future.

And sometimes when the manuscript fee is paid, she will take the money to some more expensive restaurants to eat something good.

Although her taste cannot be compared with some professional chefs, it can at least represent the taste of the public.

She and Qiao Zhaomei have been living together for a while, but every day Qiao Zhaomei comes to Honghong Hotel for work, she sleeps until after 11 noon, and then eats whatever she wants.

Then go out to the vegetable market at five or six in the afternoon to buy some vegetables and meat that you want to eat, and then put it at home and wait for Qiao Zhaomei to go back to cook for her in the evening.

Very harmonious.

Sometimes when Qiao Zhaomei goes back, she will also buy some food along the way, and bring her back to cushion her stomach first.

But today, Jiu Jiuzi woke up at noon and felt not very hungry, so she didn't eat, and then played all afternoon until five or six in the afternoon. As soon as she was about to eat, Qiao Zhaomei called and told her that she was going to eat supper tonight.

So, the vinegar and vinegar seeds were dry and I thought about eating them together.

I want to take advantage of this time code to be able to write, and finish writing today's update.

But as soon as I wrote 500 words, my stomach started growling and I felt my stomach. As a result, the more I wrote, the hungrier I became, and the more hungry I became, the more irritable I felt.

Can't write.

So simply open the background of the website.

【Ask for leave】

"I'm sorry everyone, the store where my boyfriend works is going to treat guests to dinner tonight, I have to go there, and everyone knows that girls have to put on makeup when they go out, so I'm going to start preparing now, so I'll take a day off and try my best tomorrow Make up for today's update, sorry, everyone is so annoying..."

Don't think about it, after sending it out, there must be many comments urging her to update, so she simply told herself not to read it.

Just like that, Qiao Zhaomei finally rode back to pick her up just now. If she used the vinegar she left, she might not be able to come over.

The noodles were already very delicious, but under the addition of hunger, Jiu Jiuzi only felt that this was the best delicacy in the world.

That's because of the image problem, otherwise she would have already started feasting.

Ke Yao was like this, she still ate with one chopstick after another.

Fortunately, none of the people present were hypocritical. Although a girl she didn't know came, she didn't deliberately show her elegant appearance.

I could only hear the sound of snoring and snoring from around, and the men didn't have to wipe their mouths with paper towels before taking a few bites like girls.

Until they finished eating, their mouths were covered with red red oil, and finally they drank the soup in the bowl, leaving only the bottom.

"I'm full."

"Boss, the noodles you made are really delicious." Jiu Jiuzi said with satisfaction, and at the same time, his good impression of this shop increased a little bit.

"It's delicious and you can come here often. Anyway, you order takeaway at home at noon every day. It's better to come to our store to eat earlier. We are a family. If you come to eat, you don't need to pay. If it is around [-] o'clock at noon or nine in the morning You can have dinner with us if you come before [-]:[-] p.m. or around [-]:[-] p.m.," Feng Honghong said with a smile.

From the bottom of her heart, she wanted this girl to come to the store to eat frequently. After all, for Feng Honghong, it was the first time she saw her idol. up.

Moreover, if she uses this method to urge the change, it will easily cause a psychological burden on people, so Feng Honghong uses this method of wooing her own people to build a good relationship with the other party.

"It's not good, I..." To be honest, Jiu Jiuzi was a little moved, but felt that it was not good to come here every day for nothing, but Qiao Zhaomei would go to tell her every day how good the food in Honghong Restaurant was. She couldn't help being curious about how delicious and how good the boss's cooking skills are.

If this store had takeaway, she would have ordered it long ago, but Honghong Restaurant doesn't open takeaway.

At this time, Chen Nian served everyone a cup of iced sour plum soup in front of them.

After eating the noodles, vinegar and vinegar were numb, spicy and salty in her mouth, and she was still sweating a little. At this moment, a cup of sour plum soup was in place, and the refreshing sweet and sour taste made her want to drink it all in one gulp.

Take a small sip.

Jiu Jiuzi couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "It's delicious!"

This time she couldn't refuse the proposal anymore, but even though her boyfriend works here, she was really embarrassed to come and eat for free, so she said: "I eat takeaway at home every day, but I can pay for the food every month." You eat here."

Qiao Zhaomei also meant the same thing. To be honest, he was worried that his girlfriend would ruin his body if he ate irregularly every day. He neither exercised nor went out, and sat in front of the computer all day.

"Yes, boss, or else it's like this. I pay for the food every month so that she can come to eat regularly."

Chen Nian has no opinion on this, but he thinks it's okay to have an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Anyway, as long as Qiao Zhaomei works here.

On the other hand, even if Qiao Zhaomei's girlfriend eats staff meals here three times a day, she only eats a few hundred dollars more a month.

Eating home-cooked meals in the store is better than eating takeaway.

What's more, Chen Nian has confirmed that Qiao Zhaomei is actually the projection of Mr. Qiao in that dream in San Francisco. He still remembers Mr. Qiao's kindness to him.

"You don't need to give money, we are all our own people, and the people who come here to eat are just everyday meals, so it's not easy to count the money." But seeing the other party continue to talk, Chen Nian hastily added, "Otherwise, let's do this. You don’t need to pay for the staff meal when you come to eat, if you don’t come to eat at our meal, you will pay normally, what do you think?”

"I think it's good. Otherwise, let's make a decision. Girl, you come to eat every day. At least three meals a day are guaranteed. Otherwise, I won't have any books to read after my health is broken." Feng Honghong also persuaded.

After thinking for a long time, Jiu Jiuzi looked at her boyfriend Qiao Zhaomei.

Finally finally nodded.

"OK then."

After eating, I still wanted to help clean up together, but who knows that the big men have already packed the dishes and chopsticks back into the kitchen very quickly, washing the dishes, cleaning the pots, and cleaning the table. wipe the table.

It didn't take long for the store to be cleaned up.

She saw Qiao Zhaomei's appearance at work, saw that the kitchen where Qiao Zhaomei worked was clean, and the working atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Sister-in-law, you have found a good job!"

　Postgraduate entrance examination plus 5/6, still short of the last chapter.

　　There is one in the group who went ashore last year, and it would be better to add two as appropriate, so now I owe three chapters.

　　Are there any friends coming ashore?
