Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 430 Driven out of the kitchen (seeking a monthly pass)

"Master, I actually know how to make sauerkraut and white meat." Chen Nian suddenly said at this time.

"You still make this? People in your Kunqu opera troupe like to eat this?" Master Sun was a little puzzled.

He knew that many Peking opera singers did not have any taboos, and some Sichuan opera singers were more uninhibited in their diet, but he didn't know that Kunqu opera singers also had no taboos.

After all, if you really say it, something so sour as sauerkraut is easy to irritate your throat.

"That's not true. I used to know a big brother from the Northeast who was very nice. We lived together for 12 years. He taught me several Northeast dishes, including this." Chen Nian explained.

"That's fine, then you cook this dish, and I'll help you. I'm just a little tired and can take a rest." Sun Fuquan said and put down the spoon in his hand.

When Chen Nian heard this, he quickly said: "Don't tell me, Master, I can't ask you to help me! You can just sit by the side. If there is something wrong with what I did, you can still point it out. I."

"Are you sure you can do it?" Master Sun looked at Chen Nian. He thought that most of the people in the Chen Nian would be from the southern side of the cuisine. I don't know much about the cuisine.

But I didn't expect that Chen Nian could even know this authentic Northeast cuisine.

Although the methods of cooking have the same goal, the cuisines are different, and many techniques and ingredients are processed differently.

It is very rare for a person to master one or two cuisines in his whole life.

This made him feel a little unbelievable. Although he was skeptical, he still agreed to Chen Nian's request.

However, he still wanted to wait until later today to beat and beat the old years. After all, he learned Huaiyang cuisine before, and now he has transferred to Shandong cuisine, which is inevitably a bit big.

After all, if you want to concentrate on learning Shandong cuisine, you may have to put other dishes aside first, otherwise you will not be able to chew too much.

Shandong cuisine itself is one of the cuisines with the longest history, and its variety of dishes has reached a very exaggerated level.

If Chen Nian wants to learn a little bit of everything like Chen Nian is now, it will definitely not work.

But now he still wanted to see how well Chen Nian was cooking this sauerkraut and white meat.

After all, although this dish sounds simple, there are still many points to pay attention to. If it is not handled properly, the taste will be greatly reduced.

The first thing is to process the ingredients. The meat must be washed first and then put into the pot to cook. On the one hand, the blood should be removed, and on the other hand, the meat must be cooked to the point where chopsticks can pierce the pork skin. , and then take it out.

In this way, the dishes made after the meat is sliced ​​will show a soft and rotten taste to a great extent.

Otherwise, if the pork is not handled well, it will taste rather woody, woody and hard, not tasty, and taste like chewing wax.

But he saw that Chen Nian did not pour water directly into the pot from the beginning, but first heated the pot red and then stuck the pigskin on the pot for roasting.

Such details made Sun Fuquan nod his head.

This trick seems simple, but in fact, many people don’t know it. When most people do it, they just pour rice wine into the pot, put some green onion and ginger, and add some pepper or salt to cook.

But cooking it like that is not as effective as directly scalding it like this.

With the sound of sizzling, green smoke gradually came out of the pot, but Chen Nian was not in a hurry, but kept pinching the meat and burning it on the wall of the pot.

I didn't lift up this piece of pork until I felt that it was almost done.

"drink!"

"duang!"

With a soft drink, Chen Nian lifted the piece of meat, which weighed seven or eight catties, and placed it on the chopping board, making the sound of something heavy.

Seeing this scene, Sun Fuquan just sucked his teeth. When he was young, he could do the same thing, but now if he does it like this, he will lose his waist if he doesn't pay attention.

It's not that he can't bring it up, it's that he doesn't dare to be as unscrupulous as before.

Before the old age, there was no water in the water tank in the kitchen, and the work of fetching water was all done by the young men in the martial arts gym.

"It's nice to be young!" He couldn't help saying enviously.

While watching Chen Nian scratching the burnt black part of the pigskin with a knife, Sun Fuquan suddenly noticed that the hair on Chen Nian's head seemed to be gone!
Sun Fuquan's eyes are not that good, and they usually wear a cloth hat when cooking in the kitchen. Although everyone in the martial arts gym is rough and doesn't pay much attention to hair, Sun Fuquan still I don't want to fall into the trap.

After all, when you get older, you will lose your hair in handfuls. It’s okay to eat it once in a while, but if you eat it every now and then, no one will feel uncomfortable.

So he naturally asked Chen Nian to wear a hat, but just now he found that the back of Chen Nian's head seemed to be bald.

"Where's your hair?" Sun Fuquan asked curiously. It seemed that you still had it yesterday, but you didn't pay attention to it in the morning. Could it be that Chen Nian went out and shaved it off?

"I shaved it yesterday." Chen Nian said, but he was still a little nervous.

"Why did the parents suddenly shave their body, hair and skin?" Sun Fuquan was a little puzzled.

"The main reason is that it's not very exciting to have that kind of hair, and it's easy to get in the way when the hair grows. I want to shave it and keep it short." After hearing this, Sun Fuquan was obviously a little unhappy Yes, because he was instilled with the idea of ​​having braids like this since he was a child.

Although the Qing Dynasty is now over, the deep-rooted concepts of his older generation have not completely changed.

Compared with Mr. Joe, who Chen Nian met in San Francisco, Sun Fuquan has always lived in China, so the concept of class and the customs of the Qing Dynasty have always been deeply rooted in his heart.

"I think you want to imitate those students, right? Every one of them wants to want revolution, but in fact they don't even know what revolution is. Do you do this to your parents?" Sun Fuquan thought in this way, and his words were a little bit awkward. It's heavy.

Before Chen Nian, he didn't think that shaving his head would cause such a thing, but it's normal for Master Sun to have this kind of thinking.

But he couldn’t tell Master Sun that hair is composed of lifeless hard protein keratin, and that protein keratin accounts for 85-90% of the total hair, and the other is water, plant pigments and trace amounts of hair. elements and so on.

If he said this, Master Sun would think that he was talking nonsense, alarmist, incomprehensible, and talking nonsense.

"Master, I'm not learning from those students outside, but I think this is the most suitable for me. I also understand the truth about the body, hair and skin of my parents, but if I really want to say that, why do I only leave my hair behind?" And shave the front? Hair regrows after all, I just don’t want to be stuck in braids while I’m cooking.”

Chen Nian still didn't dare to say too bluntly.

Master Sun was very angry at first, but Chen Nian also said this call to quibble, but he opened his mouth to refute Chen Nian, but he didn't know how to refute.

Because he never thought about why he should shave the front. He has always considered only the hair at the back.

"you……"

"Stop cooking! Get out!"

Sun Fuquan scolded angrily.

Chen Nian was always dealing with the ingredients when he said those words before, because these things will have to be faced sooner or later.

But when Sun Fuquan told him to let him go out, Chen Nian had no choice but to sigh silently, and then finished cutting up some sauerkraut: "Then Master, I'm going out first, calm down."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

The moment he walked out of the kitchen, Chen Nian thought in his heart, if Master Sun had a grudge because of this, then he would probably not be able to complete this task.

But even so, it’s not a loss. I failed a task but learned the three dishes of Lao Bao San, Shao Er Dong, and Mu Shu Pork. As for BJ Roast Duck, I can only find a chance to learn it later.

But after he left the kitchen, his dream was not immediately ended by the recipe. He had no choice but to go to Chen Nian at the moment, and he had nothing to do when he went back to the house. He simply went to the martial arts hall outside to see what they were doing.

After coming outside, Chen Nian saw that Shen San was wearing a very capable practice uniform and patrolling with a stick in his hand. Although Shen San was over half a hundred years old, the calm and majestic temperament of a martial arts practitioner It is vividly reflected in him.

But everyone in the martial arts hall was firmly on their horses, and Shen San felt a stick when he saw someone whose horses were not stable.

Chen Nian can feel the pain from far away.

This is not comparable to the teacher's ruler when I was in elementary school.

Shen San is a martial arts practitioner, and he is also a leader in Tianjin's martial arts circle, so he naturally knows how to hit the most painful without hurting the root cause.

Sure enough, those disciples who were beaten were trembling in pain after being hit by a stick, and some of them had tears in their eyes, but they still had to do what the master said, and tie their horses even tighter. Lower and raise your hands straighter.

Turning around, Shen San suddenly saw Chen Nian who was not far away looking here with interest.

Originally, Shen San was also a bit boring, but it was actually very boring just to inspect these disciples' striding steps.

After seeing Chen Nian, I couldn't help being curious, thinking that Chen Nian shouldn't be helping in the kitchen now?How come you have time to come here?

"You guys stay well, if I come back later and see someone who is lazy, I will practice more in the afternoon!"

After Shen San finished speaking, he walked towards Chen Nian with the stick, and when Chen Nian saw Shen San coming with the stick, and the serious look on the other side's face, his heart was pounding.

"Master Chen, why don't you come here to learn martial arts instead of cooking in the kitchen?"

Shen San was originally worried that Chen Nian was sent to steal his teacher, so he was naturally more serious when he asked.

"Back to the third master, I was kicked out by the master, he didn't let me stay in the kitchen." Chen Nian said honestly, and he didn't think about lying in front of Shen San, because it was completely unnecessary.

"Why?" Shen San asked while thinking about the reason in his heart. Could it be that Chen Nian did something wrong and ruined the meal, or he didn't handle the ingredients properly.

After Chen Nian heard this, he continued to reply helplessly: "Because I shaved my hair, the master was a little unhappy, saying that my body and skin were the result of my parents, but I said, if this is the case, why do I keep my hair only at the back? The front, the hair on the front is also my parents, and in the end the master got upset and kicked me out."

While talking, he also took off the hat on his head, and a shining head appeared in front of Shen San.

"Why did you shave your hair?" Third Master Shen didn't know why Chen Nian suddenly wanted to do this.

Chen Nian had no choice but to repeat to Shen San what he said to Master Sun earlier.

But after finishing speaking, he suddenly felt regretful, Master Sun is a cook, and Shen San is a martial arts practitioner, in case Shen San is also a traditional person like Master Sun, after hearing this, he will feel unhappy for a while, Then he can only be beaten in vain.

So after finishing speaking, he directly paved the way for himself to retreat: "If the third master also thinks that this matter is inappropriate, then I will resign and leave now. And master's support is very important."

In this way, the chances of being beaten should be reduced, at most, it’s just kicking yourself out, and kicking yourself out probably means that the mission has failed, and you have to go back soon.

But Shen San pondered for a while after hearing this: "Actually, I think what you said is not unreasonable, Master Sun made a fuss over a molehill, how about this, I will take you to talk to Master Sun, what do you think?

After all, if you are really incapable, Master Sun will not think of taking you as a disciple after knowing you for a few days. "

At this point, Shen San has basically confirmed that Chen Nian was not sent undercover to steal his teacher. After all, if he was really an undercover agent, why would he do such a thing?
Isn't that taking off your pants and farting, is it superfluous?

"It's so good, the junior will thank the third master first, but if the master is still unwilling to accept it for a while, then the junior will remember the third master and the master no matter where he goes in the future." Chen Nian said, to be honest He still didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Now I can only try my best to fight for it.

"Well, then you come with me." After Shen San finished speaking, he led Chen Nian towards the back kitchen. This scene was seen by the disciples in the martial arts hall, and Qian Hu muttered in confusion: "It's strange, Where is Master taking Master Chen? The back kitchen?"

And Shen Wen said with some speculation: "Second senior brother, do you think father is hungry? I plan to go to the back kitchen with Master Chen to fill my stomach first. After all, if the time is counting now, the first dish should have already been served. It’s done, and I can almost smell it now.”

As a result, Tang Dechun turned his head seriously when he heard this: "Qian Hu, Shen Wen, don't talk, now is the time to practice, and Shen Wen, our master is your father. Can it still be good?"
