Food starts with Mapo Tofu

"Pay the baby and arrive at 100 million yuan."

It was still the familiar ringtone, and Chen Nian was awakened in a sweet dream. Although he forgot what kind of dream he had when he opened his eyes again, he knew that the dream was very sweet, and it seemed to be about him and Ann. red beans.

But at the next moment, he suddenly thought of a very serious matter!
"Not good! Why did I fall asleep last night?" Chen Nian hurriedly picked up his phone, only to find that An Hongdou made three WeChat calls to himself, but he didn't receive any of them.

Looking at the last good night An Hongdou sent, Chen Nian felt his heart was about to break.

So I quickly edited the message: "Sorry, I posted a Moments last night. The message was too noisy, so I turned off the reminder, and then accidentally fell asleep and didn't hear your call."

But just after editing, I felt like I was making excuses.

So I deleted it and edited it again: "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday."

After sending it over, I sent another one: "Good morning."

But I felt a little uneasy in my heart. After all, it was the first day of my relationship, and I made such a major mistake.

What Chen Nian didn't expect was that there was a reply as soon as he sent this message.

"Hahaha, I knew you must be asleep."

The news that came back in seconds made Chen Nian feel a little unbelievable: "You didn't sleep all night?"

"Hehe, I was going to sleep last night, but I suddenly got inspiration after I got out of the shower, and then I have been working on it until now, but basically the writing is almost done. When I wake up, I will go to the recording studio to see When can I go over and record the song?"

Seeing this, Chen Nian was shocked: "You are about to release a new song!"

"Yes, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such inspiration."

"Then I think..."

"Haha, it doesn't work right now, after I record the song, I promise you will be the first one to listen to it!"

"No problem, then I'll just wait and listen!"

"Just watch."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, you go to bed quickly, but you are not allowed to stay up so late in the future."

"Hey, didn't I suddenly get inspiration, so I'm going to sleep, bye." An Hongdou was editing the message, and after finishing writing, she wanted to add "I love you" at the end, but just after finishing writing, she felt uncomfortable. It's so embarrassing, but after thinking it over and over again, she decided to add these three words.

It's just that after she sent the news, she felt that her face started to feel hot again.

But when she saw that Chen Nian also sent a cat's "love you" emoji, she couldn't help but smile, then put the phone aside, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and went back to sleep directly under the covers.

……

After Chen Nian urged An Hongdou to go to bed, he got up, washed up, packed his things and went to the store.

On the way, he looked at the circle of friends he posted yesterday.

More than 70 likes, more than 30 comments...

First of all, the good buddies in those dormitories, Chen Nian did not reply to them individually, but went directly to the wechat group of their dormitory and sent a few more photos.

"I am indeed in a relationship with An Hongdou. If you don't believe me, you can go to her Weibo and have a look. Brothers, you can prepare the money first."

But after the news was sent out, no one responded. After all, it is only after five o'clock, and the other three people in the dormitory are probably still sleeping. In Chen Nian's dormitory, apart from him coming back and opening a restaurant, there are two One took the postgraduate entrance examination, and the other took the civil service examination.

After that, there are the people in the Honghong restaurant. These people plan to talk to them after going to the restaurant.

In addition, there is the regular customer group of Honghong Hotel, that is, the WeChat group where they often chat. Chen Nian also said something, and then sent a 200 yuan red envelope in it.

In the end, no one spoke, and no one snatched the red envelopes. Presumably, they didn't get up yet.

And finally some other friends.

Chen Nian, who replied in WeChat, replied in WeChat, and Chen Nian, who did not send a private message to himself, sent them a reply in Moments.

After walking all the way to the hotel like this, Chen Nian finally replied to all the messages.

But he had just opened the door of Honghong Hotel, and before he had time to turn on the lights, he heard the familiar sound of a car at the door.

The only one that can have this engine sound is Brother Liu’s Syrian war-damaged van, and not only the engine sound is special, but also the car body will make a trembling sound when the engine turns.

Chen Nian didn't know where the car was loose. Anyway, every time Brother Liu came over, as long as the car was not turned off, the sound would always accompany him.

"Xiao Chen is looking for a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"It's very good. I saw it in the circle of friends. The girl is very beautiful, and she is a good match for you."

"Thank you Brother Liu." Chen Nian quickly thanked him.

But Brother Liu obviously didn't know An Hongdou either, and then he just helped Chen Nian move all the things into the store, and then drove off in the car.

For aging, as usual, put what should be put in the freezer first, and what should be soaked in water should be soaked in water.

Two of the ducks that had just been slaughtered were first put into the water to soak the blood, and he planned to try to make them after breakfast.

After properly arranging the ingredients sent by Brother Liu, Chen Nian started to prepare breakfast.

As time passed, other people in the store came one after another, but the first thing they did after entering the store was to ask Chen Nian about having a new girlfriend, and it was An Hongdou, but Chen Nian said wait. wait.

Let's talk together when everyone is here.

Following Feng Honghong's late arrival, she couldn't help but ask as soon as she entered the kitchen: "Son, do you have a girlfriend?"

Only then did Chen Nian look at the flames of curiosity that the crowd could no longer suppress, and nodded: "Yes, I have a girlfriend, and I went out yesterday to confess my love."

As soon as Feng Honghong heard Chen Nian's confession, her face immediately beamed with joy!
"Good good!"

"My son is promising!"

But at this time, He Hai who was meeting with each other didn't hold back, and asked, "Master, then my wife is An Hongdou?"

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded.

Everyone became even more excited when they heard this!

"Master, you are too amazing. How did you two know each other? I have only seen these stars and singers on TV since I was a child. I never thought that my master who learned to cook would find a female star." I can brag about this for the rest of my life!"

Although Chen Nian was equally excited, recalling what happened yesterday felt like a dream, but he had to remain calm in front of everyone.

"It's just that she came to my place for dinner some time ago, and then came a few times, and we got to know each other after coming and going."

"That's great." He Hai had a happy smile on his face, he was really happy for Chen Nian from the bottom of his heart.

And the others didn't ask any more questions when they heard this, maybe they could know more details if they asked again, but for them, what's the use of knowing those?

It's fine as it is now.

And Feng Honghong was not in a hurry, he knew that his son would not find a half-hearted girlfriend, so he blew it after talking for two days. Since his son can take the initiative to confess his love to others, he must have some confidence.

So what she wants to know can naturally be known in the future.

But even if the people in the store don't ask about these things, some diners who went online yesterday and saw the relevant information will still ask, but facing these questions, Chen Nian only admits his relationship with An Hongdou, and the others are not Without saying much, they all refused on the grounds that they wanted to work.

After such a disturbance, many people who didn't know about it also knew about it.

In the past when I was in the countryside, there were no secrets between each village, but in the current city, especially the people living around are some old neighbors, so these old things are passed around, and everyone basically agrees. knew.

It's just that this excitement only lasted for a few days, not too long.

This is also due to the fact that An Hongdou is actually only a little popular in songs, and people are not that popular, and when she went back to chat at night, An Hongdou also suggested that Honghong Restaurant should promote it in her name.

Why don't you just go to the store and sing a few songs, or go around the store for a while?

But Chen Nian thought for a while and still refused: "There is no need for this, you should still be your singer and musician, if you come to my side, you will definitely be disturbed by people, maybe a few of those people are yours Fans, but for most people who come to eat, they don't know your works, and wanting to sign autographs and take photos is just following the trend.

One or two doesn't matter, but what if there are more?Should I say that your occupation is different from my restaurant business, you should still keep a certain distance from most ordinary people, and to be honest, the Red Hotel is not too big for your reputation Great buff. "

Chen Nian thinks this way, he doesn't want An Hongdou to be distracted by other unnecessary things after being with him, which will affect his creation.

"But I don't need Honghong Restaurant to bring me traffic. I just want to make your restaurant more famous." An Hongdou still wanted to do something for Chen Nian.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter. Honghong Hotel is already well-known now, and the number of customers who come every day has reached a certain degree of saturation. The next development of Honghong Hotel is to continue to expand the store, or maintain the status quo, but I think it might be better to maintain the status quo first, and don't worry, if one day Honghong Restaurant really needs you to improve its reputation, it means that I can no longer rely on the food I make to make everyone like it .

In that case, I will probably consider closing the store, and at worst, I will become a self-media, so that I can have enough food with my skills. "

Chen Nian said with a smile.

Hearing this, An Hongdou felt a burst of peace of mind.

On the day of her official announcement, some friends in the circle came to her to inquire, and some of them advised Hongdou to keep her eyes open and not to meet a scumbag, maybe the other party came here for the traffic of the name An Hongdou .

Although An Hongdou didn't care, and she also believed in Chen Nian, when she heard Chen Nian say these words, she couldn't help feeling that she didn't find the wrong person.

"By the way, haven't you been studying how to make roast duck these days? How is your research going?"

"It's almost ready to be sold, and the people in the group came to me two days ago and insisted that I explain things clearly, so I thought about treating them to a meal in a day or two. Let’s just talk to them again, and then I’ll make them a roast duck, and then I’ll give them a taste of the Shandong cuisine I’ve learned recently.” Chen Nian said.

"That's it, but I also want to eat your roast duck. After all, this is the first time you cook duck. How about I go and taste it too?"

"Okay." Chen Nian couldn't help showing joy when he heard that An Hongdou was coming.

"Okay, then we'll make an agreement, but I'll probably be recording songs all day tomorrow, and I may not have much time to chat with you during the day, so I'll go find you after I record the song at night, how about it?"

"No problem, you can send me a message or call me when the time comes, and I will cook whatever you want."

"I may want to eat something more delicious recently, but you can see what to eat. I have no taboos. You know that." An Hongdou trusts old age very much, and she also believes in old age. The craftsmanship will never let yourself down.

"Okay, then I'm free to play, but if you have something you want to eat, you can send it to me in advance."

"No problem, you are my boyfriend, so I won't be polite to you!"

Afterwards, Chen Nian continued to get busy again.

That night, Chen Nian was still working on making roast duck.

Although he had learned it in the dream in Tianjin before, after all, in modern times, the ingredients have changed, that is, the duck is different from that time, and the stove is also different.

So aging has to adapt to these.

But Chen was basically proficient a few days ago, and today he plans to try again.

Skillfully wash the duck, take out the internal organs and blow air, marinate, beat sugar, put the duck into the oven, etc. in one go.

The stove is also filled with old fruit wood, just as Master Sun said before, the reason for adding fruit wood is not to make the roast duck have that nonsense fruity aroma, but because the wood has less smoke and is hard when burned. Burn resistant.

The duck roasted in this way does have a different aroma from other woods, but it is definitely not a fruity aroma.

In this way, the old age is not slow.

Seeing the passage of time, as the skin color of the duck inside gradually turned red, Chen Nian was constantly playing with the duck's body to allow it to accept the roasting of the stove in all directions.

Although the technology has advanced now, the heating can be heated in all directions at 360 degrees without dead angles, but for the duck, the length of time for each part of the roast is different, so it still has to be operated manually, so as to ensure that the roast duck is roasted every time after it comes out of the oven. Every inch is baked evenly.
