Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 482 The boss visits the store (seeking a monthly ticket)

There has been no requirement for the employees in the store before the old age, but basically everyone does not need to motivate themselves, and they are full of energy every day.

Originally, Chen Nian told them that they can come after eight o'clock every day, and they don't need to clock in, but now they don't need to go until eight o'clock every day, and everyone basically arrives around seven o'clock.

Occasionally someone will be late, but that is basically a little bit more sleep in the morning.

Chen Nian still misses these clerks very much when he sees them again, but as an adult, he is particularly good at disguising his feelings.

"Boss, let me tell you, I have a girlfriend, and you've seen her look very beautiful, don't stare at me with that kind of eyes..."

Feeling Chen Nian's affectionate eyes, Qiao Zhaomei couldn't help declaring her sovereignty.

"Go, go, you have a good idea. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss you a little. Don't get me wrong."

Qiao Zhaomei became even more frightened when she heard this: "Boss, what are you talking about? Didn't we just meet yesterday?"

"I had a dream yesterday, and several years passed in a mess in the dream, so after waking up, I felt like I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Nian continued to explain.

And Qiao Zhaomei nodded suddenly when she heard this: "That makes sense. I used to have this kind of dream often. I once talked about a girlfriend in a dream. We are very affectionate, but Later, her family disagreed, saying that I was too handsome and their daughter was unworthy, and finally asked us to break up.

I still remember that I was sad for the whole day after waking up, although I didn't remember what the girlfriend in the dream looked like throughout the day. "

"I suggest that you take a look at my master's appearance before you say this. If it was the master who said this, I can still believe it, but I feel like you are making up what you said..." Xie Yu was angry at the side Said.

"That's right." He Hai echoed beside him.

But Qiao Zhaomei was not annoyed when everyone said this, instead she said cheerfully: "No matter what you say, I have a beautiful girlfriend now."

"Cut, it's as if no one has it." Xie Yu and He Hai curled their lips in dissatisfaction.

But after they finished speaking, they couldn't help thinking of something in their hearts at the same time, and silently set their eyes on Chen Nian.

Feeling this look, Chen Nian became anxious immediately: "What are you all looking at me for, as if I can't find a girlfriend."

At this time, Feng Honghong also came to the back kitchen at some point, and said faintly: "Then you can find a girlfriend if you can. I am upset when I say what you say every day. You think I want to talk about you."

As soon as my mother spoke, Chen Nian was like a defeated rooster.

"That's right, Xiao Chen, you're so good, you must be able to find a girlfriend. Find one and talk to one while you're young. If it suits you, we can continue to develop. If it doesn't suit you, you can change it." Wen Hongxia also said. Said aside.

Well, the two elders launched an offensive at the same time, Chen Nian didn't dare to say a word anymore.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Nian washed his hands, stretched his waist, went outside to take a breath, and looked at his phone by the way.

As a result, there was no reply from An Hongdou.

When Chen Nian saw this, he knew that this guy was probably sleeping late again, and he probably slept very late yesterday.

But think about the concert that Hongdou said before, it seems that the concert is about to start, if I want to go to see it, I have to ask for a leave of absence, what reason do I have to use...

In this way, Chen Nian thought about it and threw himself into the intense work in the morning.

But when they were eating the staff meal at eleven o'clock in the noon, the jealousy came again.

"A rare guest, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came today, I'll prepare anything you want to eat." After Chen Nian saw the vinegar, he greeted him warmly.

After all, this is the employee's girlfriend, and if she can tie her down, Qiao Zhaomei won't be able to run away.

"Oh, don't talk about it. Recently, I want to start a new book but I don't know what to write. My mind is full of ideas, but I always feel that no one reads it after I write it. Moreover, the author friends in the group have become more and more popular recently. One is better than the other, I feel a little stressed, so I didn't write a single word this morning, and I just wanted to go out to eat and find inspiration at noon..."

Chen Nian nodded after hearing this, but he didn't say much. After all, every line is like a mountain, and the longest thing Chen Nian has written so far is his graduation thesis.

And that's mostly based on experiments.

But vinegar vinegar is not the kind of hypocritical person, she came out this time to relax on the one hand, and to find inspiration on the other hand.

Although most of what everyone said is useless, but in case there are one or two ideas that can be used, vinegar can be extended based on these ideas.

Today's lunch was cooked by Chen Nian. Chen Nian made some Lu dishes with the ingredients in the kitchen and planned to see everyone's reaction first.

As a result, everyone's eyes lit up after eating, and they all asked Chen Nian when he secretly learned these dishes again.

But this time Chen Nian only said two words: "Secret."

He knew that as long as he said that, everyone would stop asking questions, and at the same time retain a sense of mystery. If they did so, they would think of a legitimate reason in their minds.

And vinegar and vinegar also said that today's dishes are also quite delicious.

"Actually, many dishes in my restaurant originated in different eras. For example, the dish of braised pork may have been earlier. It can be seen from Qi Min Yaoshu at the earliest, but the braised pork at that time was not so complicated. After all Seasoning is limited.

But for people at that time, it was quite good to be able to eat meat. It was not until Su Dongpo's Dongpo pork came out that this dish became widely known.

In addition, there is Mapo Tofu. This dish originated in the Qing Dynasty, but after the Republic of China and the liberation, the taste and ingredients of this dish have been continuously improved, and it has gradually become what it is now. "

Chen Nian said that while talking, he recalled his masters.

It seems that every dish in his shop has its own background story, and Chen Nian intends to write them all, but he is not very good at writing, and he doesn't have much time.

As a result, when Jiu Jiuzi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, I can write another food article, go to different dynasties to study, and get along with them as friends or apprentices... As for the protagonist Well... you can travel multiple times separately, or you can keep the protagonist alive since the pre-Qin period, but he is not interested in dynasties, only interested in food... that's easy!"

The more Jiujizi talked, the brighter her eyes became. She felt that it seemed very clever to do so, but which of these two forms should be used, she had to study it again when she went back, and it would be best to have a chat with the editor.

"Boss, thank you for your inspiration. I really don't know how to thank you." Jiu Jiuzi said a little excitedly.

At this moment, Qiao Zhaomei stood up proudly and patted her chest: "Boss, why don't you do this, you can pay me half of this month's salary."

As soon as Jiu Jiuzi heard this, he said, "That's fine."

"No." Chen Nian definitely can't agree to this request, how can he pay less wages to the employees?

"No need to thank, what is there to be grateful for, I just said it casually, but you can write it, I will definitely read it after writing it, or if you have any questions about which dishes to make, you can also ask me, if I can't solve it, and I can introduce you to some friends who are more knowledgeable in food." Chen Nian said.

Jiu Jiuzi nodded happily: "That's no problem, but boss, it doesn't matter if you pay a little less salary to recruit girls this month. If this book can achieve my previous achievements, the manuscript fee for writing it for one month should also be enough." Quite a few."

Before Chen Nian, I heard about the income of novel authors. Some well-written authors may have tens of thousands of 10,000+ a month in manuscript fees, and this is just an ordinary author with better grades.

If there is such a powerful one, there will be millions of dollars a month.

Moreover, their copyrights can be sold for millions of dollars. Even if some copyrights are bought in packages, one copy can cost at least [-].

"Sister Zhao, look at your girlfriend earning so much money, you have to work hard, this month's salary will not be deducted from you, you study hard here, there will be many opportunities for salary increase in the future." Chen Nian Looking at Qiao Zhaomei, she still did not forget to urge her.

But as soon as the words fell, Jealousy covered his mouth and smiled: "Boss, what Zhaomei is doing now is actually the job he likes, and his life is not stressful. As far as I know, there are 20 people in his family. There are many buildings waiting to collect rent, plus there is only one child in their family, if he doesn't work hard, he can only go home to collect rent."

When Chen Nian heard this, he felt bad.

"Damn it, they're all big dogs. I thought I was pretty good among my peers, but they all turned out to be so good." Chen Nian said with his head down.

But now that I think about the people around me who are the same age as me, they seem to be quite promising, Miao Miaowu, Xiao Jing, Jiu Jiuzi, An Hongdou... Thinking about it, they seem to be better than me.

"Master, what are you talking about? Then, among the people of the same age you know, how many can cook better than you? Even if they really cook better than you, you are not as handsome as you , even if he is really handsome than you, he is not as educated as you, if there is such a person who crushes you in all aspects, then he is indeed excellent, and it is useless to be envious." He Hai said from the side.

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but nodded.

Only then did everyone turn their attention back to the table.

And Feng Honghong couldn't help sighing at this moment: "But I never thought that I could fry cucumber eggs and meat together, that is, you didn't tell me before. If you did, I definitely wouldn't let you do it."

Wen Hongxia nodded: "That's right, I haven't heard of this kind of dish before, but it tastes delicious, and it's simple and nutritious to make. I have to give it to Yueyue when I come back next time." Do it."

"By the way, Aunt Wen, when does Yueyue rest?" Hearing Wen Hongxia's words, Chen Nian couldn't help thinking of his younger sister clamoring for meat.

"It seems to rest tomorrow, and tomorrow I will bring her to the store."

"Okay, speaking of it, I haven't seen Yueyue for a long time, and I still think about it." Chen Nian said expectantly.

After eating the staff meal, it was time for business at noon, and everyone quickly became busy, and the tables outside the store were gradually filled up.

But it didn't take long for Chen Nian to see a familiar figure.

He knows this man!

This person is a shop-exploring blogger, and his personal resume is also very beautiful. He used to be the executive chef of a well-known five-star hotel, and he is very good at Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, or Huaiyang cuisine.

And the same person's mouth is quite poisonous. When commenting, no matter if it is a small street shop or a five-star hotel, as long as the food is not delicious, it will be hard to escape a negative comment.

When he commented, he was not harsh for the sake of being harsh, but he would look at the price of the dishes. If the price of the dishes is high, then the requirements are high.

If the price of the dishes is cheap, the requirements will naturally be relaxed accordingly.

In short, he is a more conscientious and technical shop-exploring blogger.

Although Chen Nian hadn't met him face to face, he also knew that this person would definitely not give a bad review when eating, and then after being recharged by the store, he immediately changed his attitude and gave a 360-degree positive review without dead ends.

The other party came in a total of three people, and they didn't say much after they came in, but sat very low-key in a side seat.

"Boss, what are the special features here?" Chen Nian asked curiously in front of Feng Honghong who was going to order after watching the three people sit down in the kitchen.

"Our wall is full of specialties, and there are Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and so on. It depends on the taste you like." Feng Honghong didn't know these people in front of her. According to the previous words.

As a result, the man was delighted when he heard it: "Then your chefs are pretty good, with so many cuisines, okay, let's have a mapo tofu first, then a pot of meat, and a Wensi tofu, and finally come again Let me take a look..." He began to scan the menu as he spoke.

While looking at it, I thought to myself, isn’t this the characteristic famous dish in each cuisine?

To be honest, he really wanted to order each of them, but there were only three of them, and he couldn't eat too much.

Finally, after much deliberation, he set his sights on a dish he hadn't seen before: "Another rouge goose breast."

"By the way, there is also a big pile of sour plum soup."

After Feng Honghong wrote down these dishes, she went back to the back kitchen leaflet. Chen Nian has been watching here while cooking since just now.

But the whole person didn't dare to say too much, because he could see that these people were holding cameras, and the subjects they took were not young people, but the middle-aged man who looked a little fat and dark.

Although there are many food bloggers who come to Honghong Restaurant, you can roughly tell which ones have real materials and which ones are for blogging traffic.

"I'll cook the meals for them." Chen Nian knew that the other party's tongue was picky, and Chen Nian also wanted to see how he was when he faced a professional person.

Chen Nian's first dish is Mapo Tofu. He has made more than 2 copies of this dish since it opened, and the specific number is clearly written on the recipe.

Every time a dish is cooked, the number on the recipe will increase by one.

And the price of this dish has been only one yuan since the beginning.

The guests at that table only found out after ordering.

"Ms. Tang, look, this mapo tofu is only one yuan. I remembered that this store seemed to be recommended by many fans before, but there were too many restaurants in Chengdu at that time, and I also went to other places in Sichuan. place, so I never came here.”

This person called Teacher Tang was the middle-aged man Chen Nian had been paying attention to since just now.

"That's quite interesting, but generally speaking, for restaurants, the price of food is very low. There are only two situations. One is that the cost is low, and the restaurant is used to attract customers. In terms of taste, it doesn't matter whether it uses food packages or not. It's better to do it casually, anyway, many customers won't pick it for a dollar.

Another situation is that the store uses this dish as a signboard, and it doesn’t matter even if it sells at a loss. Anyway, most customers can’t just order this dish when they come, and they can earn back the money no matter what. "

"Then Mr. Tang, what kind of store do you think this shop belongs to?"

"I think...it's hard to say, let's take a look."

But not long after, Feng Honghong came over with mapo tofu.

"Ma Po Tofu, please use it slowly, I will serve the rice after a while."

After seeing this dish, Teacher Tang nodded.

"This dish is a relatively famous dish in Sichuan cuisine. It pays attention to the seven-character mantra. When I was learning Sichuan cuisine, my master told me about it, but now it seems that the owner of this restaurant really has it in his hands. something.

You can see that these tofu are still made into a complete piece, and they are basically the same size and bright in color. You can smell the chili inside when you smell it with your nose, so this kind of dish should be eaten with rice. "

"Ms. Tang, are you intimidated? I think this mapo tofu is quite spicy." The young man who took the photo joked.

"Counseling? I can't be cowardly."

After a while, Feng Honghong came up with rice.

At this time, Teacher Tang also dug a spoonful of tofu with a spoon: "Look, this mapo tofu uses watercress in it, and pay attention to the gorgon on it. If you want to get it to this level, you must not beat it once. Gorgon can be formed, at least three times."

While speaking, he put the mapo tofu in his mouth.

But at this moment, he stopped talking immediately, and it took him a while to recover, and after recovering, he took a big mouthful of rice.

After swallowing everything, he took a long breath, his face was a little embarrassed by the big words just said, but he couldn't lose his demeanor, and said with a smile on his face: "This mapo tofu is strong enough, just those seven words, You can check it online, this tofu is not bad, let me tell you, originally I was thinking of mapo tofu for one yuan, and I don’t ask for anything, as long as it doesn’t use cooking bags.

But now I have changed my mind. This mapo tofu is not only sold for one piece, but the restaurant we went to, right, right, that old brand, anyway, I can’t say the name, and it sells there for twenty or thirty. There is nothing wrong with it! "

"The tofu tastes soft and soft, and it melts when you sip it in your mouth, and the taste is very clear. Its spicy is not the kind that makes you feel particularly uncomfortable after eating it, although you will feel the whole mouth and tongue after entering the mouth. They are all affected at the beginning, but after a while, there will be a feeling of wanting to eat, so this person is owed."

As Teacher Tang said, he picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth: "This... Beef! And the beef is not made by a machine that grinds meat, but cut by hand. After cutting, put it in the oil and fry it until all the oil in the meat comes out.

So when eating, the texture of the beef cubes is quite elastic, and it is a little bit crispy. By the way, there is another point I didn’t mention just now, that is, I can eat the watercress in his dish. The sauce is watercress that is at least three years old. "

Chen Nian was in the kitchen watching the other party talking endlessly through the glass. Although he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, it could be seen from the other party's expression that the other party was quite satisfied with the dish.
