Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 492 Fancy Marriage Urgement (Monthly Ticket Asking)

It didn't take long for the two of them to have round stomachs.

"Grandpa, wait a minute." Chen Nian put down his chopsticks and came to the back kitchen to pack the remaining meat and side dishes in the pot, and then filled the rice in a packing box, and then put them together in a plastic bag and carried them away come out.

"Master, you can take this back to your son to eat." Chen Nian said and handed over the plastic bag. Uncle Lin just didn't expect that Chen Nian would ask him to pack it back after inviting him to dinner.

The uncle nodded, they had agreed just now, and the uncle didn't want to eat other people's food for nothing, so he asked, "How much is the total?"

Chen Nian thought for a while: "Ten yuan."

The uncle didn't realize it at first, but just after putting his hand in his pocket, he realized that Chen Nian seemed to say ten yuan just now: "Don't make trouble with me, serious, I'll give you how much."

"Ten yuan." Chen Nian looked at Uncle Lin innocently.

"Such a meal, you told me ten yuan? And you packed more than what I ate just now, let alone making money for ten yuan, you won't even get back your money." The uncle is a sensible person. Instantly understood what old age meant.

And Chen Nian continued to explain: "Master, you can't say that, what you ate just now was what I asked you to eat with me, if you came in and ordered it yourself, then I will definitely have to charge you.

The cost of the package is about ten yuan. I just talked to you happily, so I sold it to you according to the cost, and don’t think too much about it, I also packaged these food for my elder brother. Wait a minute This time, I can bring my eldest brother over to have a meal together. We still have a lot of dishes here. "

Chen Nian blocked all Uncle Lin's way.

"Master, let me tell you, I paid you today as if I had forgotten my year. I didn't ask for more or less than ten yuan. If you give more, you will look down on me. I will just pretend that I don't know you when I come here next time." , if you think that I am not worth handing over, then you can give as much as you want."

Chen Nian probably sensed what kind of person the uncle is from the chat just now, so he said that on purpose.

This kind of thing is not to be said to whoever you want to say, some people like this, and some people find it boring to say so.

But the uncle sighed after hearing this: "Okay, you are a nice young man, I am willing to be a year-end friend with you, uncle, as long as you don't think that uncle is a cleaner."

"What's so disgusting about this? You're a cleaner, and I'm still a stinky cook." After Chen Nian said that, Uncle Lin was amused on the spot, and Chen Nian also laughed.

In the end, Uncle Lin paid ten yuan, said goodbye to Chen Nian happily, and headed towards the tricycle beside him with his food and broom.

It's time for him to go home too.

And Chen Nian stayed to pack his things, but he didn't see Zhuge Jianguo come over until Chen Nian was done.

"Why isn't Zhuge Jianguo coming today? He should have come here before this time. It's useless to cook him food." After Chen Nian finished speaking, he put the prepared food for Zhuge Jianguo into a plastic bag and re-frozen it. Back to the refrigerator.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, Chen Nian wiped the table outside, swept the floor, and finally closed the door and went home to sleep.

New dishes will be launched tomorrow. It should be fine at noon, but there will probably be customers who come to check in at night.

Now Honghong restaurant has formed such a trend, many people like the food of Honghong restaurant very much, but everyone is working part-time, earning thousands of dollars a month is not enough to go to the restaurant every day, so only in Come and have a taste when Honghong Restaurant has new dishes.

But when Chen Nian went home, he thought that he had really done nothing in publicity since the opening, and basically relied on the spontaneous publicity of customers.

Including Xiao Jing, Miao Miaowu and the others are actually his customers.

But Chen Nian now feels that since he is opening a shop to do business, otherwise he should do a little bit of publicity work.

Thinking of Chen Nian here, he planned to think about how to do publicity when he went back at night, preferably in a way that didn't require investment or trouble.

In this way, on the second day, Chen Nian came to Honghong Restaurant early in the morning. After taking over the ingredients from Brother Liu, Chen Nian went to the counter to turn on the computer while playing music and opening word.

Select the page orientation as landscape, then tap the keyboard to type a few large characters.

The latest new dish - [handle meat].

After finishing writing, Chen Nian was quite satisfied, so he made some adjustments, and after the print preview, he chose to print.

After typing out this picture, Chen Nian looked around and found it a bit monotonous, so he picked up a ballpoint pen again and drew a small heart in the lower right corner.

"This is much better..."

Chen Nian took the tape and came to the door of the hotel, and pasted the piece of paper on the door.

In this way, even if people pass by, they can know that there are new dishes in the store, and they will come to eat them naturally.

After finishing these, Chen Nian went back to the kitchen again, found a large number of wooden signs that had been made earlier, took out one of them, and wrote the set meal of meat on it - 20 yuan.

This is what he came up with yesterday.

Because he thought that if you put rice on a plate, then put a piece of meat, and put all the side dishes in one, it can be sold separately as a set meal.

Because in addition to tourists and nearby residents, there are some students and office workers who come here to eat every day. If they come to eat alone, the purpose is just to fill their stomachs and let them order a dish, and then order A piece of rice is a bit unrealistic, it's expensive and you can't finish it.

So making such a package by yourself can also meet the needs of this type of people.

And in terms of profit alone, making a set meal like this is actually more profitable than selling a whole portion of meat.

After writing the set meal, Chen Nian took another sign and directly wrote the meat - 45 yuan.

The price is more expensive than braised pork, but that's because besides the meat, there are more side dishes such as eggs, peppers, seaweed, gluten, tofu, etc. in the meat.

In this way, after the old age hung the sign on it, it began to prepare for breakfast.

But just after six o'clock, Chen Nian saw He Hai actually coming.

"Why are you here so early?" Chen Nian looked at the watch on the wall, then at He Hai, and asked curiously.

"Why don't you come here early to help? If I still come here at the same time every day, when will I learn it? Master, you have to study for a few hours in the kitchen after closing every day. As an apprentice, I can't hold back."

Hearing this, Chen Nian was a little dumbfounded: "I'm used to this kind of work and rest. If I take a normal lunch break during the day, I can sleep for four or five hours at night. If you are not used to it, there is no need to do this. You can sleep an extra hour or two. Make your spirit better, and don't doze off when you're doing it."

"It's okay, master, I go back to sleep every day after washing up, and I slept for more than seven hours until after five o'clock in the morning. I don't feel drowsy, and I'm very energetic now." He Hai patted his chest and said.

"You're talking as if someone is not in good spirits. Well, you little He. Originally, the two of us came to work together, but you yourself sent me a message in the early morning saying that you would come here early. If I hadn't just finished washing Going back, I really let you sneak away alone."

Before He Hai finished speaking, Xie Yu's voice came from the door again.

Chen Nian looked at the door again: "Why did you come so early?"

As soon as the words fell, He Hai also asked with a puzzled expression: "Yes, brother Xie, I remember that it was 05:30 when I sent you a message? Why did you wash your hair at that time? Don't you Tell me, you plan on washing your hair before going to bed."

Hearing this, Xie Yu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Aren't I also planning to come over to help out sooner? Seeing that Master usually brings out new dishes every now and then, and every other month or two, there will be a big banquet , if I don't work harder at this speed, I may not even be able to see Master's taillights by then."

"That's right, I think so too, I also want to be able to chase after Master's taillights." He Hai said in agreement.

When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't help being moved, but still waved his hands angrily: "Go, go, you only have taillights on your body.

Since you're here early, hurry up and help with the work, He Hai, go make the noodles first, prepare the scallion oil noodles and small noodles, and then make the buns later. "

"Good master." He Hai washed his hands immediately after hearing the instruction.

"Then what about me, Master?"

"You prepare the ingredients first, the meat, the vegetables, etc. are all handled. I remember that you seem to be trying to make pot-packed meat these days. Pack it up early today. I will explain it to you when you make it." .”

"Good master!"

But Xie Yugang was about to act, when he suddenly raised his head and saw that there seemed to be something different on the menu that was displayed today.

"1234..."

After counting it again, Xie Yu found that there seemed to be two more brands on today's menu, but after a closer look, he discovered that Master has released a new dish today!
"Master, what kind of dish is pork belly? I seem to have heard it before, but I can't remember it all of a sudden..." Xie Yu asked curiously.

He Hai had just finished washing his hands, and when he heard Xie Yu say that there was a new dish in the store, he hurried out to have a look: "It's true, Master has a new dish again, this speed is really fast, I have grown up so much since I was a child I have never seen anyone who is faster than Master!"

"The store is going to produce a Bazirou today. Bazirou is a kind of Shandong cuisine. It is quite famous in Jinan. It is probably equivalent to the status of Guobao Rou in Northeast China and twice-cooked pork in Sichuan."

"So good? I've only vaguely heard of it." Xie Yu said that he had been concentrating on cooking Sichuan cuisine before. Although he also knew about other cuisines, he didn't know much about it.

"That's right, but it's also quite famous in Xuzhou." Chen Nian said.

Hearing what Chen Nian said, Xie Yu couldn't help but look forward to it even more. At this time, Master brought out a special dish from another place. It seemed that he had something to learn. Although he hadn't fully learned the previous dishes, when he thought of his If I stay here, there will be many dishes that I have not learned before, so I am very much looking forward to it.

Then the store quickly became busy again, and after another half an hour, Qiao Zhaomei, Feng Honghong, and Wen Hongxia also arrived one after another. After they arrived, Feng Honghong was mainly responsible for serving food, while the others were in the kitchen Li started to help make buns.

Everyone is a handy person, plus the work of making Xiaolongbao can be done a few times.

In the past, each of them had to wrap hundreds of pieces every day, and after a few days, they were all very skilled.

But soon every customer who came to have breakfast saw the A4 paper pasted on the door.

Everyone is asking what is the handle meat?
Feng Honghong also traveled to Shandong with her husband at the beginning, so she still knows about the meat, so she patiently explained it to the guests.

Many people said that since Honghong Restaurant has a new dish, they must come and try it at noon.

But apart from these customers, everyone in Honghong Hotel was also a little curious about the meat, after all, except for Feng Honghong and Chen Nian, no one else had eaten this.

So at noon that day, Chen Nian made the pork meat set meal as everyone's staff meal.

Each person has a plate of rice, meat and other side dishes are also the same.

But because Feng Honghong doesn't like to eat fatty meat, Chen Nian was asked to pick a piece of lean meat, and Chen Nian was asked to take away all the fat when eating.

Chen Nian knew that his mother had such a preference in food, after all, as far as normal restaurants are concerned, not everyone can accept fat meat.

For those who like to eat, whether it is pork, braised pork, or braised pork with preserved vegetables, they can all be regarded as fat but not greasy, but for those who cannot accept fat meat, fat meat is Fat.

Today, Aged Nian added more kelp, pepper, and tiger skin eggs to the side dishes, which is much richer than yesterday.

Although Chen Nian just ate enough meat last night, but today, Chen Nian is still a bit greedy.

No wonder this dish is so popular in Shandong, as expected, food is food.

"Master, this is the first time I put such a large piece of meat in a bowl other than the elbow, but this one looks similar to braised pork, but the shape is different." Xie Yu said.

After hearing this, Chen Nian explained to his disciples: "In fact, their methods are basically the same, but they are not exactly the same. When cooking this meat, it is best to tie it with rope, and the meat does not use sugar. Come to fry the sugar color, and you can't cook it in the pot before making it.

You can see that braised pork and pork with pickled vegetables must be cooked thoroughly before cooking, so that they can be inserted with chopsticks, but this is not necessary. Just rinse this with boiling water and then wash it. "

Xie Yu kept nodding his head. He was very fond of these meat dishes. Back then, Honghong Restaurant was able to keep him, except for the high salary, good environment, and nice colleagues. There was another biggest temptation It is because he wants to learn from the braised pork in Honghong Restaurant.

Therefore, after tasting it, he could immediately feel that the sales of this dish will definitely not be worse than other dishes after it is launched.

After everyone ate it, they expressed their astonishment, but Wen Hongxia still expressed her true opinion after eating it: "It's a bit salty."

But after he finished speaking, he was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "It's not that it's not delicious, but I think it's a bit salty, but it's still delicious, and it's especially delicious when served on rice."

Chen Nian nodded: "Indeed, Aunt Wen's taste is relatively light. We basically took this into consideration when we were cooking before, but this time the meat is cooked from the pot. Take it out directly, so Aunt Wen will feel a bit salty after eating it."

"Auntie, you don't need to have a psychological burden. We just say what we want. Opening a restaurant is for people to eat. Auntie, if you think it's salty, there must be other customers who feel the same way, so we need such advice. "Chen Nian added another sentence.

"That's right, just say what you have. The children are eager to learn, and they will improve after talking about it. Even if we are not chefs, at least we can taste the saltiness in our mouths." Feng Honghong also comforted from the side, she was also afraid Wen Hongxia thought about it.

"I also said it casually."

"Auntie, then you can say more casually in the future, we like to listen to criticism." Chen Nian said with a smile, and the others also nodded.

But after hearing what Chen Nian said, Feng Honghong had a topic: "Son, you like to listen to criticism. If you say that, Mom will have to criticize you. You see that you are so old and you don't want to talk about it." indivual……"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Nian saw that the situation would definitely not allow his mother to continue talking, so he quickly turned his head to look at Xie Yu: "By the way, Xiao Xie, you have been here for so long, we only know that you are married. You are married and have a child, but I don’t know what your child’s name is.”

Xie Yu naturally knew his master's distress, so he suppressed a smile and replied, "Xie Ruoyun."

Originally, he didn't think much about it, anyway, it was someone who asked his daughter's name, and he just answered casually, but he didn't expect that his casual answer would be completely different to Chen Nian's ears.

When Chen Nian heard this name, his heart skipped a beat.

"Xie Ruoyun? Which word is it?" Chen Nian asked calmly.

"It's the one that is a little more complicated to write. On the left is Wei, Wei Xiaobao's Wei, and on the right is the right half of Wen Wen, the one with three points of water removed."

Chen Nian shouted in his heart: "Isn't it, is it such a coincidence?"

Because when it comes to Xie Ruoyun, how could he not know?

The dream of braised pork is the second dream experienced by Chen Nian, and in that dream, Master Xie’s daughter is called Xie Ruoyun, and I was helping Xie Ruoyun with tutoring at that time. In order to learn how to cook braised pork, I got it from Master Xie. Fang Zi, Chen Nian, apart from being an apprentice in the kitchen every day, also spares time to tutor Xie Ruoyun in his spare time.

It turns out that this is really fate!
He still remembers that little girl said she would come to him.

Didn't this just come?
Thinking of this, Chen Nian put down his chopsticks: "If you have time, you can bring your younger siblings and children to sit here. Although my mother asks me to find someone to play with friends every day, this kind of thing can't be said to be found, but to be honest When I think about it, I still like children very much, if I have to say it, I also think that the future child will be a daughter."
