Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 45 Mapo Tofu Four Years Ago

Of course, Chen Nian didn't know about it immediately.

Because when the other party woke up in the morning, Chen Nian was already busy preparing dishes.

Miaomiaowu's video has been posted, and Chen Nian knew that a large number of people would come to eat at noon today.

After all, my place is not a big hotel. Many people live in Chengdu, but people who are far away from my place cannot go to my place every day.

So they can only understand through video.

As of the morning, Miao Miao Wu's video had more than 200 million views.

Even if one-thirtieth of them are from Chengdu.

That's about [-].

Even if only one in two or three thousand of them would come, there would still be twenty or thirty.

Including the people who came here at noon every day before, it is estimated that more than 100 people came to buy food today.

Therefore, whether it is mapo tofu or braised pork, I have bought a lot.

Fortunately, Chen Nian has 30 years of working experience in Double Happiness Restaurant and Chen Mapo Restaurant has [-] years of working experience, so he can handle such a large number of customers.

Just having everything ready in advance is enough.

And these things have been done tens of thousands of times.

There is absolutely no way to go wrong in one of the links.

When it was about eleven o'clock, Chen Nian had already prepared everything.

At this time, some customers have already come over one after another.

Most of them are new faces.

But Chen Nian noticed that one of them looked like an old man in his 60s.

The other person wears glasses.

Wearing a white shirt, gray trousers and cloth shoes on the lower body.

There is a thermos cup of about 300ML on the table. The outer surface is a little peeled, and there are some red words in the middle, but because of the old age, only a few words can be read clearly.

That is to say, there are not many customers now.

So Chen Nian vaguely saw Comrade Wu Qiufang above... Shifan... Xue, these words.

And the school nearby is Sichuan Normal University.

Although the old man's hair is gray, it is still quite thick compared to other people of this age.

This temperament, combined with some clues, Chen Nian guessed that the other party was probably a professor of a normal university.

The name is probably Wu Qiufang.

After the other party sat down, he looked at the menu on the wall. Since there were only two dishes, it didn't take much time for him to look at the menu. It took only a few seconds to determine the dish he wanted to eat.

"One serving of mapo tofu and one serving of rice."

After ordering, Feng Honghong looked at the other party, walked over and said kindly: "Hello, our mapo tofu is a bit spicy, why don't you put some less pepper?"

When Wu Qiufang heard this voice, she saw Feng Honghong smiling in extremely standard and well-spoken mandarin, and said kindly, "It's okay, I can eat spicy food, so just put it normally."

But Feng Honghong obviously didn't believe that this old man could eat such spicy tofu.

But the other party still insisted, Feng Honghong had no choice but to say: "That's fine."

Then quickly write down the name of the dish and the table number on the paper, and then report the dish to Chen Nian.

After watching the other party come back after ordering the dishes, Chen Nian started to heat up the pot.

Blanch tofu.

fried beef.

Add seasoning.

Add tofu.

Waiting for the process to be completed in one go, and Wu Qiufang was originally only curious about the glass settings at Chen Nian, but looking at Chen Nian's actions, the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar.

this kid...

But he didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, Feng Honghong put the mapo tofu and rice on the table: "Taste it first, this tofu is a bit hot and spicy... Blow it well, or break the tofu in the middle of the bowl, otherwise the inside It’s easy to burn your mouth... If it’s too spicy, just call me, and I’ll ask my son to make you a new one that’s not too spicy.”

The implication is that if you think it is too spicy, you can change it to a non-spicy one for free.

This is also Feng Honghong's consistent style. She distinguishes right from wrong and is generous, but when it's time to go out to buy clothes and bargain, her skills are no weaker than Chen Nian's. Although she is getting older, she has never been cheated, not even once.

Chen Nian also admired his mother's character very much.

A serving of mapo tofu is nothing, maybe the other party won't eat it again after eating it once.

But doing so will make diners feel very comfortable.

"Okay." Wu Qiufang looked at Feng Honghong and replied in dialect, obviously he thought the little girl looked pretty nice.

"It's nothing." After Feng Honghong said with a smile, she continued to work.

Wu Qiufang looked at this plate of mapo tofu.

I am very puzzled.

Because, he had worked in the interview department of West China Daily for seven or eight years before he went to teach at Sichuan Normal University.

And the director of the interview department of West China Daily is Che Spoke.

Therefore, in the 70s, that is, when he was a reporter, he naturally often went to Chen Mapo Restaurant to eat. Although the chef of Chen Mapo Restaurant had been replaced by Master Xue's apprentice at that time, if someone he knew In this case, Master Xue will still take the initiative to cook a mapo tofu for them to eat.

So everyone has a good relationship.

Sometimes, when they go, it is not meal time.

So you can often go to the back kitchen to have a look.

From just now, Wu Qiufang saw that Chen Nian's technique was the same as Master Xue's!
After the finished product was served, the familiar feeling came again.

Wu Qiufang scooped up a piece of tofu carefully, then blew it skillfully for a while, and then put the tofu into his mouth after it was slightly cool.

This method was taught to him by Mr. Che back then.

But this smell...

He could eat it, and some of the seasonings seemed to be different from those of the past, but the soul seven characters in the deepest part of the mapo tofu made him regain the feeling of the past!

This is Xue Xiangshun's mapo tofu!
Can't go wrong!
As he ate slowly, the mapo tofu, rice, and water in the vacuum flask gradually bottomed out.

At this time, Wu Qiufang confirmed this point even more.

You must know that some of the cooking methods of the current Chen Mapo Restaurant have changed. After all, after more than 30 years, the successor must have his own cooking methods.

After eating, he paid three yuan and left.

Chen Nian was in the kitchen, watching the old man while cooking.

The changes in the other party's expression can be seen in the eyes.

But as the other party left, the number of customers in the store gradually increased.

Chen Nian's attention began to concentrate on cooking.

About 110 servings of braised pork were sold at noon, and all the pork that Chen Nian had finally brought back in the morning was sold out.

Unexpectedly tired.

Chen Nian originally thought that his physical strength was not bad, but at noon today, he felt the fatigue that he hadn't seen for a long time.

　Thank you for your monthly pass
