Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 438

When Chen Nian heard that Master Sun knew both kinds of roast ducks, he thought to himself that this is the master of roast ducks. If he only grasps one method, then no matter what he does, he will have limitations.

Only when you talk about roast duck like Master Sun, will you have the demeanor of a master.

It’s just that for Master Sun, roast duck in a braised oven may be better and he can do more, but roast duck in a hanging oven is a competitive product for Master Sun and the restaurant where Master Sun was at that time.

Everyone has a competitive relationship, and only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we make continuous progress and do better.

So it's no surprise that Master Sun has a different approach.

But now the right to choose is given to Chen Nian. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Nian feels that since the staff given in the recipe is BJ Roast Duck, it should be the way of hanging stoves in the north.

Now he feels like Monkey King, facing 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha, it is difficult to choose.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong chose a relatively large number of 72 dishas, ​​but Chen Nian finally thought about it, although this time he mainly learned roast duck in a hanging oven, but Master Sun did not say that he could only learn one kind!

Master Sun's best skill is stewing the stove. If he can learn this, Master Sun will be very happy.

"Master, I want to learn." Chen Nian replied honestly.

Sun Fuquan was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Alright, alright, since you want to learn, then I will teach you both methods later!"

After hearing this, Chen Nian also beamed with joy, thinking that he only made the choice when he was a child. As an adult encountering this kind of problem, he would naturally choose to have everything!
And didn't you see Master Sun smiling so happily?

Since it is to learn something, then all learning is the right answer!

After all, since the master can teach you, it means that the master must know everything, but if you only choose one of them, you will not be able to achieve the master's achievement in your whole life.

There is a saying that the disciples of the church starved to death of the master, but Chen Nian felt that there should be a little trust between people.

Soon, they prepared today's dinner while they were busy.

Tonight, Shen Sanzhi told the kitchen not to be too greasy. After all, it doesn’t matter if it’s usually done. If it’s at this time, if some disciple has something wrong with eating, it’s not worth the loss if he can’t represent the martial arts school tomorrow.

The disciples who represented the martial arts school were all outstanding disciples in the sect carefully selected by Shen San. If they couldn't play, it would be a great loss.

So what they cook today are some light dishes with less heavy taste, beef, chicken breast, eggs, cauliflower, steamed buns, milk, etc...

The method of making is simple, and the seasoning is not added much, but the nutrition is sufficient.

It's just that when those disciples rushed into the cafeteria, they all showed disappointment when they saw these dishes, which were completely opposite to the usual dishes.

"That's all... There is meat, but why does it look bland?"

At this time Chen Nian stood up: "Brothers, don't worry, today's meal was arranged by the third master himself, because I am afraid that everyone will eat too much and it will not be digestible, and if there is any problem with eating, it will definitely be Affect tomorrow's contest.

So today everyone will eat like this first, the third master has already said, after the competition is over, if you can get a good ranking, the third master will definitely reward everyone well, let alone eating meat, even wine will be fine. Let go and drink! "

As soon as Chen Nian's words came out, everyone's low enthusiasm was mobilized in an instant!

Because they heard drinking!
Most of these martial arts practitioners come from poor backgrounds, and basically they all like to drink, but the rules in the martial arts hall are strict at ordinary times, and Shen San also requires everyone not to drink at all, otherwise they will be severely punished if they find out.

But at this moment, when they heard that their master allowed them to drink, they all immediately became excited!
Line up to get beef, eggs, milk and so on.

At first, they thought that today's food was probably not tasty, but they still thought that they would be full for the sake of good ingredients.

After all, they don't usually eat beef much.

But when they really ate the beef, they suddenly felt that that was not the case!
"Why is this beef so delicious?" Shen Wen said in surprise.

"That's right! This beef is too tender to eat! It's full of gravy when you bite into it, and what kind of sauce is this sauce? It's a perfect match with beef!"

They have never eaten beef like this before, and today's beef meal was actually cooked for them by old people.

Before cooking, the beef was marinated with sauce for aging, and it was still put into a vat during marinating, and then hung in the well, using the cold temperature in the well to speed up the marinating process and make the beef more flavorful. smell.

In this way, it was marinated for more than two hours, and the aged beef was picked up, and then the outside was cleaned, and the moisture on the top was dried, and the seasoning was added to marinate again, and gently massaged with hands...

Afterwards, they were still placed in buckets and hung in the well.

In this way, it was marinated until it was cooked, and it was taken out after aging.

In this gap, Chen Nian boiled tea eggs again. This is also to avoid the lack of taste from eating only white eggs. The tea is made of cheap tea, but even so, it still made Master Sun feel distressed.

Now in a martial arts hall, it is no different than a restaurant. If you do this in a restaurant, you will not only have to recover the cost, but also make money when you sell it to the customers. return.

In addition, the steamed buns are steamed with milk, which tastes sweet and has a milky aroma. The cauliflower is easy to make, just boiled, and then sprinkled with some salt and pepper.

But with the combination of several other dishes, everyone felt that today's dish was not inferior to usual at all!
"Let me tell you, this doesn't look like a dish that Master Sun can make. When we went to the martial arts competition, Master Sun didn't prepare these for us. He just had some porridge and side dishes." Qian Hu ate with big mouthfuls. Said in a low voice while eating the food.

At this moment, Shen San, who was sitting on the same table with them, raised his head: "This is made by Master Chen. I told them earlier that before the competition, try to cook the dishes lightly, so as not to eat too greasy and difficult to digest. But it affected the competition, Master Sun really planned to continue to cook some porridge for you, and make a few side dishes, but Master Chen proposed to cook these for you."

"It's young people after all. I think the fried beef is very similar to the steaks that foreigners often eat, but I have also eaten those steaks, and the cooking is not as good as ours."

Shen Wen felt a little proud when he heard this: "Exactly! I'm not used to the food that foreigners eat. What kind of stuff are they? I once saw those foreigners smash a piece of beef with a fork, and then use a knife to eat it." Cut it open, the meat oozes blood! Tsk tsk tsk...it looks like a savage! I was so cautious when I looked at it!"

"What? There's still blood? Can that thing be put in your mouth?"

"Isn't that so? And those foreigners are nothing, at least the beef and fish they eat are of a higher quality. I have seen those Koreans eating. Just looking at them makes me feel pitiful. I am happy to eat a bowl of fried noodles. What is it like!"

As they talked, they couldn't help discussing what foreigners eat.

Shen San interjected a sentence or two from time to time, his knowledge was much more than these apprentices, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

In this pleasant chat, they also finished their dinner.

"No training tonight, go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, many of you will go to the arena to fight against people from other martial arts gyms. When the time comes, show me what you have learned. Don't embarrass Jinwumen!
After so many years of silence, we want to let those people outside know that our Jinwumen is not a soft persimmon!Can you hear me clearly? "

Shen San looked at the disciples in front of him and said loudly, at the end he raised his arms and shouted.

"Listen clearly!" All the disciples were full of food and drink, all of them were excited, and they also shouted back to their master!
"Okay! If our Jinwumen can return to the top three this time, then I will get you whatever you want to eat. You can fly in the sky, run underground, swim in the sea, and you can open your mouth! Wine is also required. As much as you want, even if you drink it as water!"

"it is good!"

Chen Nian and Sun Fuquan stood at the door watching this scene, and couldn't help feeling excited.

And Master Sun burst into tears: "I haven't seen the third master like this for several years, and this time the third master is also trying his best to re-rank Jinwumen's ranking!"

"I think it's okay." Although Chen Nian didn't understand their martial arts circle, just looking at their energy and drive and their usual state, he felt that this time there might be something going on.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Nian went back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. After cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Nian moved a small mat and just sat in the yard looking at the sky.

"Shen San's dream is to revive the martial arts school, Master Sun's dream is to spend the rest of his life in peace, Qian Hu's bearded dream is to surpass the traitor who betrayed his master, and Shen Wen's dream is the same, and at the same time, he added a To inherit the father's mantle.

And what is my dream?
Learn all the cuisines you can learn?
Become a celebrity chef with a certain status and reputation in the circle?
Or are you constantly experiencing different lives in the dream?

Or do a good job, work hard to make money, get married and have children, and then live a lifetime like an ordinary person? "

Chen Nian kept asking himself, but in the end he couldn't come up with an answer.

He wanted all those things for a long time, but he vaguely felt that none of these things seemed to be what he really wanted to pursue.

He was even a little confused for a while.

Each of those people in the martial arts gym has their own dreams, and they have clear goals they want to accomplish.

With the final big goal, there will be small goals in the middle stage.

But aging now only has a small goal for each stage, which is to keep learning how to cook, but it is still a bit unexpected when it comes to aging in the future.

When Chen Nian was sitting alone in the yard thinking hard, suddenly he saw a person walking out from the north yard.

The courtyard to the north is where the disciples of Jinwumen live.

There are eight or nine houses in total, and two or three people live in each house.

And the room in the north is where Chen Nian and Sun Fuquan, who do logistics and financial work in martial arts gyms, live.

As for the east, there are only Shen San and his wife.

To the west is the place where the disciples in the martial arts gym practice martial arts every day.

The kitchen is located outside these courtyards, with a separate room in the middle.

So no matter where they go, they have to go through the kitchen door first.

With the bright moonlight, let Chen Nian take a closer look!
"Eldest brother? Why don't you sleep?"

The person who came was Tang Dechun, the big brother of Jinwumen.

And Tang Dechun didn't expect to meet Chen Nian here, with a somewhat unnatural look on his face, but he quickly hid it back.

"Tomorrow is going to be a martial arts competition. I can't sleep, so I just want to go out for a walk. Why don't you sleep? Not only us, but you are also busy tomorrow." Tang Dechun asked back.

"I can't sleep either, thinking about life here."

Tang Dechun became interested when he heard this: "Think about life? You are still so young, what is there to think about?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "I'm thinking about what I want to do in the future. I can think of it now, but I will definitely go to the end on the road of being a cook. To put it bluntly, I am best at this craft and can rely on it to make money. Myself, but I don't want to live my whole life just for eating and drinking.

People always want to live for something they want, but now I don't know what I want. "

Tang Dechun couldn't help laughing at the full-fledged literary and artistic old age: "You look a bit like those nerds who think about useless things every day. Who told you what you have to live for? Everything you do now is For your future, when you get married and have children, the children will have something to eat when they don’t care about you.

In order for others to bully you in the future, they have to weigh your identity.

In order to do what you want in the future, you can do whatever you want. In this world, you either have to be rich or you have to have fists. For us martial arts practitioners, this thing is called a fist. For you It might be called cooking. "

As soon as these words came out, Chen Nian suddenly felt enlightened, his brain turned rapidly, and now his efforts are for a better life in the future, which can be said to be next year, five years later, or even 20 years back.

Previously, I really envied Qian Hu, Shen San, Shen Wen and the others for having a clear dream of their own, but just now I didn't think about it, what are these people going to do after realizing their dreams?
Shen San wants to revive the martial arts school, but if his disciples work hard, and Shen San himself can maintain the current state, it is indeed not difficult to revive the martial arts hall, but what about after that?

Shen San may or may not have thought about it.

Besides, Qian Hu and Shen Wen wanted to surpass the previous traitor to fight for their master, but if they really surpassed each other one day, or the opponent was injured in a certain martial arts competition, after Qian Hu and What does Shen Wen want to do again?
Chen Nian felt that with the personalities and minds of these two people, they probably could only think of showing off in front of each other, and they probably didn't think about the rest.

So why bother to look so far?
"Thank you, big brother." Chen Nian couldn't help standing up and thanking him.

Tang Dechun waved his hand to indicate that this was nothing serious, in his opinion, it was just a young man thinking wildly about the starry sky when he was bored and couldn't sleep late at night.

Even if he didn't say this himself, Chen Nian will probably forget these troubles when he wakes up the next day.

"It's okay, go back and rest early, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." After Tang Dechun finished speaking, he walked towards the door again.

But just as Tang Dechun got out of Chen Nian's sight, Chen Nian saw Qian Hu crept out of the courtyard again.

"Second brother? Why didn't you sleep?" Chen Nian didn't know what happened, but Qian Hu seemed to be following Tang Dechun.

But as soon as Chen Nian uttered his voice, Qian Hu quickly put his ten fingers on his beard and made a "shh" gesture.

Then he raised his hands and pressed down, signaling Chen Nian to keep quiet.

Chen Nian was a little puzzled, but he still didn't say anything. He closed his mouth and nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing this, Qian Hu continued to follow Tang Dechun on tiptoe.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Talking back a few minutes ago, Tang Dechun went back to the house to sleep with all his juniors at first, and Qian Hu and Shen Wen slept in the same room with him.

Originally, they wouldn't go to bed so early, so just after they lay down, Qian Hu and Shen Wen were talking about their drinking secretly.

"Brother, I didn't have time to ask you later, what did my father say after you went?"

Qian Hu inadvertently glanced at the senior brother in the dark, but said: "Master's side may not be easy to pass, now the martial arts competition is about to be held, and the master can not be held accountable, but it will be difficult to say after the martial arts competition! "

"Oh." Shen Wen also sighed, "If it's hard to say, it's hard to say. To be honest, I regret that I went to drink with you that day, because I was greedy and hurt you, second brother, but to be honest, I actually don't want to drink with you." Thank you and Master Chen very much."

Hearing this, Qian Hu felt something was wrong: "Why are you thanking me? Why are you thanking Chen Nian?"

Shen Wen smiled after hearing this: "I thank senior brother because you knew that drinking is against the rules, but you still drank with me. Even if I wasn't there afterwards, I would know that senior brother probably told you everything If you take everything on yourself.

But I thank Master Chen because his previous words woke me up. Although he reported to Master that day after seeing us drinking, I don't hate him at all. "

Hearing this, Qian Hu's face became weird again: "What are you talking about? Chen Nian didn't see us drinking, so I asked about it. Your father didn't think about it at all, and he didn't If you know what’s going on, you’re the one who missed the bottom line!”
