Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 420 Recognition
Of course, this is not to blame for old gossip. After all, there are too many similar film and television works in later generations. Anyway, it is this kind of relationship. The screenwriter can always come up with some very tricky angles to describe this kind of love triangle.

But this is just Chen Nian's own guess, after all, judging by the expressions of Xiao San and Xiao Si, they don't seem to know this woman either.

"Senior brother is really amazing. Fortunately, I used to think that senior brother is tepid, honest and stable. I never thought that he would be able to meet such a beautiful woman." Xiao San said enviously.

"That's right, senior brother has a lot of good luck." Chen Nian nodded.

But it didn't take long before the food deliverers came one after another. The broiler chicken still had some seasonings, and Xiao San and Xiao Si swallowed their mouths watering.

It seems that they can have another delicious meal today. With Master Sun's craftsmanship, as long as the ingredients are in place, any kind of food can be prepared. They have been in the martial arts hall for three years, and this is still very clear.

"Master Chen, in fact, I am quite envious of you. You can fight with Master Sun. With Master Sun's character, he will definitely teach you. If you can learn one and a half moves, then you don't have to worry about where you go in the future. up.

And being a chef is not the same as learning martial arts. We learn martial arts to eat, but you cooks are to eat. No matter what the world is, you will be fuller than us. "

Xiao Si said enviously, after all, when he came to practice martial arts, it was actually because of the poor conditions of his family and the fact that he had many brothers and sisters. At that time, Third Master Shen was very famous, so his parents sent their child over for a try, and it turned out that he was admitted.

But whether it is for Xiaosi's parents or Xiaosi himself, their wish is actually to be able to eat enough.

So Xiao Si is actually quite envious of being a cook.

When Chen Nian heard this, he smiled softly: "I'm here to make lunch for you today."

After hearing this, Xiao San and Xiao Si couldn't help being stunned for a moment: "Brother Chen, how is your cooking skills?"

"good."

The two looked at each other after hearing this, not knowing to what extent this was okay.

But at this time Chen Nian had already entered the kitchen, and Master Sun had already been sitting in the Maza waiting for Chen Nian.

"You two go back first, I'm going to start preparing the dishes."

After the words fell, the two of them turned their heads back worriedly.

It's not that I'm worried that the money spent on buying ingredients will be wasted, but I just feel that if the aging is not done well, wouldn't it be a pity to buy so much meat and chicken before?
Sun Fuquan didn't get up immediately after seeing Chen Nian coming, but asked, "What are you going to cook?"

Chen Nian looked at the ingredients he bought, and then at Sun Fuquan.

"Master Sun, I plan to cook three dishes, one with braised pork with potatoes, one with stewed chicken, and one with stir-fried vegetables."

"Yes." Sun Fuquan nodded, "Then you do it."

After talking, Chen Nian began to prepare the ingredients, but Sun Fuquan had no intention of helping at all.

Chen Nian didn't say anything, he just prepared the dishes quickly by himself.

He plans to make potatoes and braised pork first, although what he is cooking now is a big pot of rice. In addition to the disciples in front of him and Shen San's family, there are more than ten odds and ends in the accountant, steward, and kitchen. indivual.

So this is a proper big pot of rice, and there must be a big pot of rice in the big pot of rice, but Chen Nian is no stranger to making big pot of rice.

The first thing is to burn the sweat glands on the pork skin first, so that some pork smell can be initially removed.

Then it is boiled in the pot, but there is no cooking wine at this time, and if similar seasonings are used in the kitchen to remove the fishy smell, white wine is usually used, so some white wine is poured into it after aging.

Pork needs to be blanched for a long time, so Chen Nian took advantage of this time to prepare stewed chicken again.

The chicken had been slaughtered in the vegetable market, and Chen Nian paid the butcher for the offal, such as chicken livers and gizzards, for this reason.

Those things may not be liked by everyone when they are brought back, so just don't want them.

It was the first time for the boss to see someone haggling like this, but he could indeed sell these things when he took them back. Although they were all offal, many people still liked to use them as appetizers.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Nian reported the name of Jinwumen again, the boss gave in after thinking about it.

It's just that although the chickens have been cleaned and killed, they still need to be washed. After washing all the blood that can be washed off the surface, Chen Nian cut up the chickens and put them in the pot to blanch.

The blanching of stewed chicken is different from that of braised pork. Because the chicken will be used to make chicken soup, it can’t be blanched for too long. You only need to boil some blood foam in the chicken and then turn off the fire in time.

After blanching the chicken, Chen Nian took it out and put it into another pot to start to simmer slowly. He added some seasonings that can be used as Chinese medicinal materials in the kitchen, and put a little less salt and a few After dripping sesame oil, cover the pot and start to simmer slowly.

During the whole process, Sun Fuquan just kept watching, until Chen Nian put the lid on the stewed chicken pot, then he asked in surprise, "It's quite neat, you don't look like a novice, some dry cooks are very You've been like this for a few years."

It's just that Chen Nian felt a little ashamed when he heard this. If you add up the whole process, it's not like he has studied for more than ten years.

But among them, the old man didn't know much about himself, and he only cooked two home-cooked dishes this time to prove nothing.

It's actually quite commendable that the old man can give such an evaluation just like this.

"Master Sun has won the prize." Chen Nian said modestly.

"Actually, with your skills, you can make more money in any restaurant than here..." Sun Fuquan said again, as a veteran chef who has been in the industry for decades, he has a clear understanding of the market, "Even if you don't go For restaurants, go find some big families, the wages in those places must be higher than here."

And Chen Nian already had an answer to this question in his mind: "But you are not in other restaurants."

Sun Fuquan just smiled lightly when he heard the words, showing an expression of sudden realization: "So you came after me?"

"Part of it, and part of it is for the third master." Chen Nian lied slightly, after all, Chen Nian entered the dream space to learn how to cook, otherwise, how could he know who Shen San was?
It's not a good thing to say, but it's the truth.

If Sun Fuquan changed to Shen San's opponent's house again, Chen Nian would still follow him.

If Sun Fuquan is not in Shen San's martial arts gym at the moment, but is poor and has nothing, Chen Nian will still follow him.

Even if Shen San offers better conditions here, Chen Nian will completely rely on Sun Fuquan's side.

In short, Chen Nian recognized Sun Fuquan.

But when Sun Fuquan heard this, he immediately felt very interesting: "Let me just say, with your ability, why don't you go to those restaurants, but come to the martial arts hall and stay in the back kitchen. Generally speaking, you learn and learn here. Nothing, unless you are looking for Shen San, it's a bit more cost-effective.

I thought it was like this at first, but now I understand after you said it, you are here specifically for me, and it is unlikely that the two of us have a grudge, so the only thing left is that you want to learn My signature craft? "

Chen Nian said in his heart that this has already been said clearly, and it's no big deal if he can guess it.

But there was a look of shock and admiration on his face, as if saying goodbye: "How do you know?"

It fully satisfies the sense of superiority that the other party feels after revealing his state of mind.

Sure enough, Master Sun was very helpful to Chen Nian's eyes: "I have lived such an old age, if I can't even see this, then my life will be in vain."

"Sorry, Master Sun, I really came here with a purpose, because I really want to learn from you." Chen Nian also said very frankly, because he basically figured it out just based on the relationship this morning. Master Sun is a man.

Master Sun is actually very smart, but at the same time he is a good person.

Master Sun can mercilessly drive out the guys who are eating and waiting to die, and don't be that kind of bad guy, but at the same time, he will give all his money to those he can admire and take the initiative to tell him.

It's just that it may be a little careless.

To use a modern word to describe it is arrogant.

When Chen Nian said this, Master Sun appreciated him even more.

He never rejects ambitious young people, because it is a good thing for young people to be ambitious, and being ambitious means being self-motivated and willing to fight.

What he hates the most is the kind of people who are vain and pretend to be bragging in front of others.

Also after only one morning, he could see that Chen Nian was a down-to-earth young man with great energy.

Even if it's the first time I go out to buy vegetables and meat with myself, but I don't carry it at all, and I bargain when I need to bargain.

He is also very skillful when bargaining, not the kind of performance for the sake of performance.

Chen Nian gives people the feeling that he seems to do this kind of thing often, and has summed up quite a lot of experience and skills.

Moreover, whether a person is sincere in conversations with others can also be felt.

So when Sun Fuquan heard that Chen Nian frankly said that he was coming for him, he didn't feel disgusted.

Instead, he felt that this young man dared to speak, which was very to his liking.

But even so, it is impossible for Sun Fuquan to hand over his special skills to this kid just because of these few words. The teaching of this kind of thing can only be taught by master to apprentice or father to child.

"It's not so easy for you to learn my nine-turn large intestine and sea cucumber with scallions. Although I have confiscated any apprentices in my life, it's not because I don't want to, but because I haven't seen anyone right so far." Sun Fuquan laughed said.

The words were full of the meaning of the school exam, but Chen Nian was stunned when he heard this.

"Nine-turn large intestine?"

"Braised sea cucumber?"

"Aren't these two classic Shandong dishes?"

"But what I want to learn is obviously roast duck!"

It seems that there is some misunderstanding. At this time, Chen Nian can't directly say that what I want to learn is not the two things you mentioned, but roast duck.

Although he wants to make Master Sun feel that he is a straightforward person, there are obviously some differences now.

Sun Fuquan directly said that he is good at two Shandong cuisines. If he said that he didn't want to learn these two dishes, it would inevitably make the other party's interest lower, so that his favorability towards him would also decrease.

Favorability is increasing little by little, and it cannot be lost.

So the best thing to do now is to do what you can.

Anyway, Master Sun will not teach himself these two dishes right away.

There will be more time in the future, the big deal is to just try it out slowly.

After all, speaking of it, roast duck seems to have originated from Shandong cuisine.

"Master Sun, one day, I will definitely be able to fall into your eyes!" Chen Nian looked into Master Sun's eyes and said firmly.

Chen Nian has rich experience in apprenticeship and gaining the trust of masters.

And after such an in-depth communication with Chen Nian, Master Sun also began to give some pointers on Chen Nian's cooking.

Although these two dishes are not really Shandong cuisine in the old age, there are dishes similar to these two dishes in Shandong cuisine, and there are basically few such home-cooked dishes.

Because of this widely spread dish, each cuisine has its own method.

Chen Nian found that what Master Sun instructed was actually somewhat different from what he was going to do.

It is mainly on seasoning and processing of ingredients.

If you make adjustments according to what Master Sun said, the taste should be good, so Chen Nian quietly began to improve according to what the other party said.

Now is not the time to be yourself. .

Master Sun, who has been a cook in the north for so many years and is good at Shandong cuisine, must know the taste of northerners better.

This is far from his own.

But even so, Master Sun still found that the basic skills of aging are terrible, and the processing of some ingredients is very delicate.

After lunch was served, everyone went to the dining hall at the back to eat. Shen San took his son Shen Wen, his wife and a few more important disciples to eat at a table, and the others were free to pair up.

But just after the dishes were served, Shen San looked at the dishes on the table and felt a little curious: "Master Sun, this is not like what you usually cook..."

Sun Fuquan nodded, and praised with a smile: "Third Master has good eyesight. It is true that I did not cook today's dishes. These three dishes are all made in old age."

"Chen Nian?" Shen San couldn't help but glanced at Chen Nian standing next to Sun Fuquan.

When Chen Nian saw Shen San looking over at this time, he couldn't help explaining quickly: "Master, today's meal was indeed cooked by me, but it was also thanks to Master Sun who gave me advice, but the kid is not good at learning, and I don't know how to cook. I know whether the food I make is worthy of Master Sun's teaching."

Shen San prefers this kind of modest person, and he is very particular about the virtue of respecting teachers and respecting morality, so after hearing what Chen Nian said, he couldn't help giving Chen Nian another high look.

Sun Fuquan obviously also knew Shen San's temper, because he usually treated Shen San in the same way.

At the same time, he also felt that Chen Nian was indeed a malleable talent, and his talent in dealing with people was as good as his talent in cooking!
