Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 523 There is a reason why you are expensive (ask for a monthly ticket)

An Hongdou froze on the spot after hearing this...

As a girl, after having someone she likes, she has fantasized about the way the other party confesses to herself many times.

For example, the KTV is full of decorations, and then I ask my friends to sing together, but as soon as I enter the door, I see the other party holding flowers and looking at me with a smile.

For example, when walking on the street, passing by an old woman selling flowers, the other party bought a bouquet of flowers from the old woman, and then confessed her love.

For example, secretly write the lyrics of a song, and then use some hints to express your feelings to yourself.

For example, be more subtle, say "I like you" directly by phone or WeChat.

Including today, she was also wondering if Chen Nian would finally be unable to bear to confess his love.

But she never thought that Chen Nian said this sentence at a time that completely unexpected to her, in such an unexpected form.

After hearing this sentence, An Hongdou only felt that her eyes were probably like the sparkling autumn water outside the window.

Flashes of joy.

"Actually, I have liked you since a long time ago, but I have never dared to say it. Although I used to help my classmates with many tricks when I was in high school and college, I never experienced it myself.

In fact, I have thought about many ways before this, but until today, at this moment, sitting here, I feel as if there is a voice in my heart telling me that it is time.

Hongdou, I want to ask you to be my girlfriend, can I?I want to cook for you for the rest of my life, just like what I said when I was in Yangzhou that day. "

An Hongdou only felt that the eye sockets began to moisten.

She couldn't help covering her mouth, and some tears were already glued between the slight blinking of her eyelashes.

"Finally... Finally, the day has come..."

"He finally got the hang of it..."

An Hongdou's heart was full of happiness, but she didn't know why her tears couldn't stop flowing out.

An Hongdou nodded and cried with a hint of joy, "Actually, I have liked you for a long time too..."

Chen Nian had an inconceivably happy expression on his face. Although he felt that his relationship with Hongdou had reached this point, and although he couldn't say that he was sure that the other party would agree, he also felt that the other party seemed to have a lot of affection for him.

But hearing An Hongdou's words now, he still felt like he was dreaming!
He couldn't help but smirked and scratched his head: "Actually, I also had the same feeling earlier in the morning, but the main thing is that I didn't dare to confirm it, so I never dared to say it."

As Chen Nian spoke, he quickly took out a tissue from his bag and handed it over.

"Just wipe it off."

An Hongdou took it and gently wiped away her tears.

"That's great, I also have a girlfriend from today." Chen Nian was still immersed in a smirk and couldn't help himself.

An Hongdou has known Chen Nian for so long, and has never seen Chen Nian look so stupid, so he couldn't help being amused by Chen Nian for a while.

"You look so silly!"

"That is now, I have never looked like this in front of others." Chen Nian explained.

"Stupid and a little cute." An Hongdou whispered with a blushing face, as if she was complaining, but also seemed to be releasing some other emotions.

Chen Nian heard full of coquettishness from it, and now he only felt that the girl in front of him was getting rarer and rarer.

"Not as cute as you." Chen Nian shook his head, his eyes full of doting.

At this moment, the two people who added up to over half a hundred years old turned into children whose average age was less than ten years old.

But at this moment, An Hongdou suddenly remembered that she followed Chen Nian all afternoon today, and she cried just now. The makeup that was carefully painted today must have disappeared.

"I'll go to the bathroom first, wait for me." After An Hongdou finished speaking, she took the bag into the bathroom in the private room.

Then take out the makeup inside and start to touch up.

It was at this time that Chen Nian took out his mobile phone and made a call in a low voice.

When An Hongdou came out again, she had already finished her makeup, and the previous tear stains had completely disappeared, replaced by that cute and playful appearance.

Just then there was a knock on the door of the box.

And the back door was pushed open.

"Hi, let's serve some food."

"This dish is fish-flavored lion head. There are two cases in total."

The waiter said as he brought in the dishes, and then put two lion heads in front of An Hongdou and Chen Nian respectively: "Please use it slowly."

The other party left after speaking.

"This lion head doesn't look bad." After reapplying her makeup, An Hongdou also looked calmer, completely opposite to the excited look just now, obviously she has fully done the expression management work.

And Chen Nian also pretended to be calm at this time, he nodded: "It really looks good, and the soup base is also very transparent."

"Then Chef Chen, do you want to come and comment and see how it tastes?" An Hongdou showed a sly look.

"Okay." Chen Nian didn't mind showing off a little at this time, after all, modesty is only for outsiders to see.

The fish-flavored lion head is said to be a rule, but in fact, one per person is one per person. It is packed in a delicate small plate. The bright red soup is very attractive against the white plate, and the soup It looks like it has been beaten with gorgon, and it is a little thick, and a little bit of minced meat and green onion can be vaguely seen in it.

And in this bright red thick fish-flavored soup, a ball shaped like white jade stands quietly in it, such a sharp contrast makes people's appetite whet.

There are also some chopped green onions and very thin silk pulled out of eggs as embellishments and collocations. I have to say that it is different after spending money. Let alone the taste, the sense of ceremony is flying anyway.

Chen Nian didn't swallow the jujube in one gulp. Although the meatball didn't look big, but after all, he was here to taste delicious food and fill his stomach by the way, so Chen Nian just dug a piece of it with a spoon first.

When this spoon was cut, Chen Nian only felt that the inside was soft and elastic, but he did not experience the slightest resistance.

Through the incision, it can be seen that even the inside of the lion head is very dense and delicate.

"This lion's head looks thinner than the meat stuffed with the lion's head we ate in Yangzhou, but it seems to have more juice inside.

Chen Nian dipped the cut lion head into the soup in the dish, and then put it in his mouth.

There is a very light fish fragrance in the mouth, and this fish flavor sauce can be considered very authentic after one mouthful of aging, and it is definitely made with fish flavor spicy peppers, because the fish flavor in it It's not big, but it definitely exists.

It's just that compared with the fish-flavored shredded pork sold in restaurants outside, this fish-flavored sauce is indeed a little lighter, but it is very suitable for this dish.

The smaller size of the lion's head before making it means that the taste will be softer, and the dish with such a taste is really not suitable for the heavy sauce.

So the current taste is just right.

During the chewing process, the fish-flavored juice fully blends with every inch of the lion's head, making the taste even richer.

The horseshoe inside will occasionally pop out to find some sense of presence, but I have to say that the horseshoe paired with the lion's head is really a must.

It's like adding water chestnuts to the meat filling when making dumplings, and the cooked dumplings will taste more delicious.

At the same time, the sweetness of the horseshoe and the denseness of the meat are blended together. Because the fat ratio in the lion's head is slightly higher, the juice inside is very rich, and the juice flows in the mouth like a thin trickle between chewing .

And when swallowing, it also makes the whole taste smoother.

"This dish is quite good, and the standard is very high!" Chen Nian commented while eating, and finally came to a summary.

"It's so delicious, then I'll try it too." An Hongdou also took a sip, but her eyes narrowed as soon as she took a bite, like crescent moons.

"It's really delicious!" An Hongdou said in surprise, "I didn't expect that lion's head can be made into fish flavor. If this is the case, aren't there many other dishes that can be made like this?"

Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully: "It should be possible, and I will study it when I go back."

"Okay, okay..." An Hongdou's eyebrows were curved, and she felt that she was extremely happy now.

"Chen Nian... It's also my first time in a relationship. If there is anything wrong in the future, please bear with me." After taking another bite, An Hongdou looked at Chen Nian with burning eyes and said seriously.

"Don't worry about this, let's make progress together. After all, it's my first time dating, but I will definitely work hard to become a qualified boyfriend."

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hey Hey……"

The two started to look at each other and giggled again. After laughing for a while, they felt a little embarrassed at the same time. They couldn't help blushing and lowered their heads, and started to deal with the other half of the meatballs in the small plate in front of them.

Once the dishes started to be served, the latter ones came faster. After they had just finished eating the half ball, the second dish was also served.

The second dish is the vegetarian twice-cooked pork ordered by An Hongdou.

This type of dish was also eaten in BJ when it was aged.

There is not a single meat dish in that restaurant, all dishes are vegetarian.

And there are dishes similar to this vegetarian twice-cooked pork.

It is to use vegetarian dishes to make the taste of meat dishes, and at the same time, it is also close to meat dishes in terms of seasoning.

If done well, it is enough to confuse the real with the fake.

Although Chen Nian didn't quite understand it at that time, but now that Chen Nian has opened his own restaurant, he knows that this kind of food is a typical one where there is demand and there is a market.

It's just that the one I ate at BJ's when I was in Chen Nian was really not that delicious.

It's just a gimmick.

But this plate of vegetarian twice-cooked pork is hard to tell that it is not made of meat just by looking at its appearance.

Where the lean meat should be is lean meat, where the fatty meat should be is fat meat, even the pork skin is made, and even the curls that appear after stir-frying of normal twice-cooked pork are also found on this plate of vegetarian twice-cooked pork.

This time, An Hongdou picked up a chopstick first. She doesn't shy away from eating fatty meat, as long as it is delicious, she will eat anything. In Chen Nian's opinion, An Hongdou is a real snack food.

Many girls that Chen Nian met in the past often called themselves foodies, but they only ate what they liked. When they went out to eat, more than half of the table didn’t eat it. Pick out the onions and garlic moss in the dishes. Some even wood ear mushrooms had to be picked out.

From Chen Nian's point of view, this kind of food is not a so-called foodie at all, just like many people go to the gym for the purpose of fitness in name, but in fact whether they are going to take pictures or do something, that is only clear to him.

An Hongdou put a piece of meat into her mouth: "This...it tastes like meat!"

"How do you look like it?" Chen Nian asked curiously.

"I can tell that it has the taste of meat, but I can clearly tell that it is not meat. The taste of this dish is basically similar to twice-cooked pork, but it lacks the aroma of fried meat itself. "An Hongdou expressed his thoughts while tasting.

Chen Nian nodded: "Just now I saw on the menu that this seems to be made of radishes."

"Radish?" An Hongdou looked at Chen Nian in surprise, "I can't figure out how radish can be made into this kind of texture! If it is for some people who don't eat meat, this dish must have It's more delicious than twice-cooked pork!"

Having said that, Chen Nian became even more curious, so he also took a sip.

After the entrance, it really has the texture and taste that An Hongdou just described.

But when chewing, some clues were discovered by aging.

"The smell of radish in it is almost gone, and the rest is just the taste. I think it should be processed first and crushed with sweet potato powder, and then made like this. You should have eaten a snack It's called roasted sweet potato skin, have you noticed that the texture of this meat is a bit similar to that?" Chen Nian said.

After An Hongdou was reminded by the old age, he thought about the roasted sweet potato skin and suddenly realized: "It seems to be really similar!"

But even so, Chen Nian still couldn't help admiring the chef here: "It's really amazing. To be able to take charge of the back kitchen in such a restaurant, there are some things in hand, at least so that I can never think of dishes. It is still possible to do so.

But this kind of dish is only suitable to be cooked in such a restaurant, and it will definitely not work in the Honghong Restaurant.

After all, it takes too much time and cost to make such a vegetarian twice-cooked pork.

But even so, I have to say that this dish is quite good if the price is not considered. After all, if the price is added, the environment, service and even tableware and other things must be counted. go in.

Therefore, Chen Nian has to admit that the dining environment and services provided here are far inferior to Honghong Restaurant.

"If Chen Nian asked you to rate this dish, how much would you rate it?" An Hongdou asked curiously.

"One hundred points! A full score is the kind of one hundred points."
