Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 475 Apprenticeship 3.0 (seeking a monthly ticket)

After Chen Nian finished talking with the other party, the other party was very surprised that Chen Nian could speak English so fluently.

Because in his opinion, it is not impossible that Chinese people can speak English fluently, but they are by no means ordinary-looking people like Chen Nian.

Generally, such people are pretty good if they can guarantee their own lives. Even if they are better, they are just serving some gentry, wealthy households or warlords as subordinates.

During the period, he also asked some questions tentatively, but Chen Nian's answers were far beyond his expectations.

It's not because the old age is too wrong, but the right is too standard.

Therefore, he even had the idea of ​​wanting to keep the old age. After all, although foreigners like them are respected everywhere in China, they also have privileges that Chinese people cannot have.

But they are here now not to wage war but to trade.

Of course, the purpose of trade is also to fill this land with their flags in another way.

If you want to take root here, you still need local people to spread culture and trade.

But Chen Nian is a modern socialist progressive youth who has received higher education and studied various histories. How can he be a leading party for these people?

But right now, he can't fall out with the other party, so he just politely refused.

Of course, Chen Nian's actions looked a bit gentlemanly in the eyes of the British.

What the British pay attention to most is gentlemanly demeanor.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we will do this, and this is their injustice. What we do is just to make them accept a small punishment."

Before Chen Nian left, the British promised again.

It's just that from the beginning to the end, the other party didn't know that Chen Nian's identity was actually just a cook, otherwise it would be impossible to chat with Chen Nian for so long.

……

After Chen Nian went back, he temporarily went to Shen San's room.

"Third Master, luckily, those British people agreed."

Shen San nodded: "Actually, they are not monolithic, and as far as I know, they actually look down on the French a bit, so just such a provocation can make them defect.

And the British and our family do have some cooperation, so it can be regarded as a relationship. "

Chen Nian nodded: "Indeed, when I was chatting with them, I could tell that the Shen family did have a place in their hearts, so it was easier to chat with them afterwards.

But third master, I think we still can't take it lightly. Even if the British nodded, I don't think it can be guaranteed, so we still have to be prepared for a tough battle. "

After Chen Nian finished speaking, he added another sentence.

This sentence directly spoke to Shen San's heart: "Indeed, people who are not of our race must have different hearts. Even if there is cooperation between us, it is just a conflict of interests. In short, we still have to do well to fight Shaolin." preparation."

"Okay, third master, I'll go back first, and you can call me again if you have something to do." Chen Nian said and planned to go back to the kitchen to prepare tomorrow's breakfast.

Tomorrow is the most crucial moment, no matter who they face, they cannot take it lightly.

And Chen Nian, as a logistics support staff, naturally has to let everyone eat and drink well to a great extent, so that they can have the energy and energy to cope with tomorrow's game.

As for himself, it was just two or three days of hard work in the end.

Chen Nian plans to make wontons for them the next day.

Eat some meat in the morning, and you will have strength in the morning.

Making wontons is still very troublesome, and the noodles and fillings must be prepared in advance, otherwise there will be no time to prepare them the next day.

In this way, Chen Nian was busy until one o'clock in the morning before leaving the kitchen.

As a result, as soon as Chen Nian left the kitchen, he saw Uncle Ma coming out of the next yard.

"Uncle Ma, why haven't you slept yet?" Chen Nian asked curiously.

Uncle Ma sighed: "Hey, isn't there a competition tomorrow? I went to give them a massage just now, and after I finished, I lighted the Ningshen incense for them. I just finished lighting it, so I can go back to sleep." Sleep."

"Uncle Ma, do you know this?" Chen Nian was a little surprised.

"What do you think you're talking about? You don't know how to study medicine, and you're still a doctor in a martial arts gym. If you can't cure a bruise, you'll be kicked out a long time ago." Uncle Ma glanced at him in surprise. He glanced at Chen Nian.

And Chen Nian thought, this seems to be the case.

Chinese medicine is not just simple consultation and prescribing medicine. In ancient Chinese medicine, it was linked to Taoism, whether it was Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo, or Bian Que.

In addition to being famous doctors, they are also famous Taoists.

He is quite good at health preservation, and as a treatment method, an experienced old Chinese doctor like Uncle Ma must also be very good at it.

"Uncle Ma, can I go back and learn this from you? My master is getting old, and I want to give him a touch after I learn it."

Uncle Ma has long known that Chen Nian is filial, but at this moment, after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little touched: "Old Sun has a good apprentice, unlike me... Sigh..."

Chen Nian was originally a person with an exquisite mind, and when he heard this, he rolled his eyes immediately: "Uncle Ma, look at what you said, if I learn the skills of massage from you, then I will become your disciple too. I'll take turns pressing the two of you, and if you feel uncomfortable, come to me."

"Hahaha, you are the only one who can talk, you are glib, but another day, there are too many things during this time, I will teach you when I go back, anyway, I don't have things every day."

"Okay, master, let's make a deal!"

"Yo yo yo, is this called Master?"

"Isn't that right? I'm afraid you'll go back on your word."

"Go, go, go, we men spit on each other and nail each other. Once you say something, it's hard to follow."

Chen Nian got another handicraft inheritance. To be honest, he has always wanted to learn massage.

When he was learning how to knead dough, he always imagined the dough as a human being, and then pressed it back and forth.

It’s just that it’s okay if you just press the massage casually, but if you really think of a big effect, you still have to learn it systematically.

For example, what kind of effect can be achieved by pressing the acupuncture points.

For example, where you can tell how a person's kidneys are.

According to where you can see how a person's heart, liver, spleen and lungs are.

But now Chen Nian is really not in a hurry, but when talking about this episode today, Chen Nian also thought of Master Sun who is far away in Tianjin.

I don't know how Master is doing recently, and whether he thinks about himself.

I don't know if Master has dizziness recently.

Another reason why Chen Nian wants to learn massage is that he saw the master once before, and his body felt a little numb. If he learned it, he could go back and give the master massage frequently, to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Nian fell asleep.

But he didn't dare to sleep too much, the main thing was to get up and make wontons.

People who practice martial arts have big appetites, and those guests who have been in Honghong Restaurant for a long time usually put a dozen or so wontons in a bowl, which is considered too much.

But if it is done for people like Jinwumen, any one of them will get [-] bases.

And after eating thirty, it is estimated that I am half full.

So no matter how old it is, you have to pack three hundred.

Because besides them, there are support staff like myself who also have to eat.

Chen Nian got up from bed from one o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the morning. Although he was full of reluctance, this was his job, and he still had to go.

Came to the kitchen yard in a daze.

At this moment, even the wild dogs on the side of the road have rested and stopped barking, but Chen Nian is going to start today's work.

Scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank to the yard, and poured it directly on his head, the sound of splashing sounded, Chen Nian felt a coolness sweeping through his brain instantly, and his whole body became clear in an instant stand up.

"Huh!" Shocked by the cold water, Chen Nian wiped his face viciously, wiped off the water droplets, and pulled the towel from the rope hanging in the yard.

"This is in the dream space. If I come here so many times in reality, I'm going to have a stroke. Even if I'm better, I'll have a migraine."

Chen Nian walked back to the kitchen while wiping his face and head.

When I came to the basin, I lifted the cloth on it and took a look.

The dough has already woken up at this time, and then the previously prepared filling is opened.

The room where the kitchen is located is relatively cool and ventilated, even in summer, it is very cool to stay here.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about any problems when the meat is placed here, and it can even have a certain effect of being stored in the refrigerator.

He quickly pulled the chopping board and put it on the table, grabbed a handful of flour and waved it with his hand, and then wiped the chopping board with his hand to spread the flour evenly.

Sprinkle a layer on the chopping board in advance to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Since it is done by one person, all the steps must be completed by himself, and there is no way to roll the skin by one person like a multi-person cooperation, and the rest will be covered.

Aging can only be done by first rolling out the skin and cutting it, and then wrapping it.

Each group of [-] wontons was divided into ten times in this way until the sky turned white, and then all the wontons were wrapped.

Tired is not very tired, but a little exhausting.

If it hadn't been for the scoop of cold water, Chen Nian would have thrown his head into the basket of wontons long ago.

At this time, Chen Nian heard someone talking in the yard next door, and at the same time, the sound of water sounded. It should be that everyone had already got up and started to wash.

So Chen Nian lined up everyone's bowls again, and then added soy sauce, salt, a little monosodium glutamate, dried shrimp, chopped mustard, seaweed, coriander, etc. to it.

After preparing these bottom ingredients, everyone came to the kitchen one after another.

And after they went to sleep yesterday after Uncle Ma's professional massage and smelling the Ningshen fragrance, they woke up very refreshed this morning!

"Master Chen, today..." Shen Wen asked with a loud voice as soon as he walked in, but before he finished speaking, he saw the boiling pot and the basket full of wontons.

He still remembers that the price of Chen Nian doing this last time was that he didn't get much sleep all night.

And this time, although there are many fewer people, it is not easy to make so many wontons by one person.

So he turned his head and started shouting: "Big guy, come and have breakfast, Master Chen made wontons in the morning! If you don't come to eat the stuffed meat, it will be gone!"

When Chen Nian heard this, he quickly waved his hands: "That's not enough. I packed a lot today. I have enough, but I can't eat too much, or I won't be able to digest it in the morning, and I vomited on the ring directly. That would be ugly."

"Hahaha." Shen Wen smiled and strode in: "Don't worry, Master Chen, I know what's in my heart, just give me a bowl first."

Chen Nian nodded and directly put the wontons in the basket into the boiling pot, and then the wontons inside sank at the bottom of the pot at first, Chen Nian just used a spoon to gently pick the bottom.

It didn't take long for those wontons to float up one by one like divers who had reached their limit, breathing in the fresh air above.

It's just that the breathing is too violent, so the water in the pot is full of steam, rising continuously.

After cooking for another 30 seconds, Chen Nian scooped out the wontons inside with a spoon, and poured the soup and wontons into a bowl.

The seasoning that was originally in the bowl was also washed away at this moment, and the dry seaweed was also cooked in an instant.

Then aged and sprinkled with a handful of coriander.

The round sesame oil floating on the surface of the bowl, the faint green coriander like water plants, the seaweed swaying from the cracks in the wontons, and the looming dried shrimps that seem to be swimming in the bowl complement each other with the protagonist wontons in the bowl.

"Oh, don't say it's you, I'm so hungry!" Chen Nian couldn't help swallowing.

Just as he is impressed by his handsomeness when he looks in the mirror every day, the food that Chen Nian makes every time also makes him extremely greedy.

"Then Master Chen, why don't you have a bowl first, after all, you made it." Shen Wen said.

But Chen Nian waved his hand: "How can that be done? It's a rule for a cook to taste a bite first, but how can he eat first? We also have rules as cooks. Don't talk about it. Eat a bowl first."

At this time, the other disciples from behind gradually came.

Chen Nian kept repeating the previous actions like this, and when everyone had a bowl of wontons in their hands, Chen Nian filled a bowl for himself.

Although many of the wontons left in the end have been broken, and there are many noodles in the pot besides the wontons, but the rules are the rules.

Being a cook is a service industry no matter where you are, and to be in the service industry, you must have the attitude of being a service industry.

But what I have to say is that this bowl of wontons is really delicious. Although the ingredients are very simple, the soup made just like this is still quite delicious.

In addition, Aging has reached the perfect level in terms of stuffing and noodles, so there is nothing wrong with the taste.

Wontons are stuffed with thin skin and delicious taste. The meat inside is juicy and elastic, neither salty nor bland.

At the beginning, everyone was still chatting while eating, but soon everyone stopped talking, and they really did not talk when eating or sleeping.

Because just dealing with the bowl of delicious wontons in front of them has left them no energy to take care of other things.

But Aged Nian is from Sichuan after all, and the taste is much heavier than that of everyone, so I picked another spoonful of spicy peppers and put it in the bowl.

Stir gently with chopsticks, and the soup in the bowl is covered with a layer of red oil.

"That's right." Chen Nian nodded.

But because he ate the last one, when he moved his chopsticks, Shen Wen's side had almost eaten. When he looked up and saw the old red bowl, he was shocked.

"Why did you put so many chili peppers, isn't it spicy?" Shen Wen has never seen this way of eating Chen Nian.

Chen Nian and Master Sun didn't eat with them when they were in the martial arts gym.

After coming to BJ, there is no need to put chili on the rice for aging, and the old BJ fried rice noodle is also intended to be eaten in the original way, so there is no pepper, so this is the first time they have seen aging so eat.

At this moment, all the strong Xi Wuhan sons were so frightened by the old age that their faces turned pale.

"It's nothing, I think it's okay, it's not too spicy, and I think it's more delicious to eat like this." Chen Nian said as usual.

"You won't have any stomach problems if you eat like this?" Shen San was also a little worried.

But Chen Nian gave them a look to reassure them: "Don't worry, what could be wrong with this, this chili pepper can at most improve the taste."

Shen Wen wanted to taste the old soup, but when he thought that he still had a competition today, if the soup went down and his stomach turned into a water truck in the village, it would be over.

In the end, he had no choice but to swallow these words back into his stomach, and watched Chen Nian finish the bowl of wonton with relish, and even finished the soup in the end.

"Master Chen, I used to think that you were weak. Although it took a lot of effort to carry pots and spoons all day long, it was still much worse than us martial arts practitioners, but today I think you are a real man!

real!This bowl of chili can be eaten by ruthless people! "

"It's really nothing, this chili is really not very spicy, how about this, you can come back and taste it after you finish the competition, then I will make you a bowl of hot and sour noodle soup."

"No, no, no... just forget it." Everyone retreated immediately after hearing this.

And Chen Nian didn't force everyone. After breakfast, everyone went back to change their clothes, and then walked to the venue.

Anyway, it's still early, and it's just a good time to walk over to eat.

And if you get there earlier, you can see the situation at the scene earlier.

Although Chen Nian really wanted to go, he had to deliver food at noon.

However, Shen San still said that if Chen Nian wants to watch it in the afternoon, let's go and watch it together. No matter what, the competition will be over in the afternoon, and he plans to take everyone out for a meal in the restaurant no matter what the ranking is. Good meal.

"Okay, let's see you at noon, everyone. I wish you all the best in this competition! The style! The spirit!"

"Hahaha, Master Chen still speaks so politely, but ah, I understand what I said today!"

On Tang Dechun's side, he completely ignored the French's recruiting, because compared to those French, he still believed in his master.

Although he never asked, he knew that his master's family was actually very powerful since he was a child.

But even so, he was still a little apprehensive. After all, this matter was about Yunjin's life and death. Even Shen San was not completely sure that Su Yunjin would be fine. It was only through a lot of probing and probing that the French didn't make any big moves. .

As long as there are doubts in his heart, then Tang Dechun still has some worries.
