Food starts with Mapo Tofu

After chatting with An Hongdou, Chen Nian knew it.

According to An Hongdou's suggestion, Chen Nian intends to accept the invitation of this variety show. Firstly, he can make some money. Secondly, the program team also said that he can mention An Hongdou in the show or put her on the show. Song.

At that time, this will also be a kind of publicity, maybe it will be a hot search or something, and it will bring some popularity to An Hongdou.

These two are the reasons why Chen Nian decided to participate this time.

But Chen Nian also thought of some variety shows that often seem to be tricky, such as doing something wrong with the contract. In order to avoid such a situation, Chen Nian thought of the senior who studied law he knew when he was in school. .

So I emailed him again.

"Senior, I have something to ask you, that is, I may participate in a variety show in a while, and I will definitely sign a contract at that time, but I don't know much about it, can I ask you to help me look at it then? ? And I understand the rules, don’t go whoring for nothing, I’ll pay for how much it costs.”

Chen Nian knows that it's better to explain the money clearly. After all, the relationship between friends still needs to be maintained. Every time you go whoring for nothing, the relationship between everyone will become weaker. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Chen Nian is very clear about these things.

Just when Chen Nian returned to the restaurant after sending the WeChat message and was about to rest for a while, he had already replied to the WeChat message: "Okay, no problem, but forget about the money, I'll help you look at it for free, and wait for me later When I went to your place, it would be nice if I could have a meal with you. Now that you are a great chef, I can always see you on the Internet, and if you appear on a variety show, you will be considered a star. Take care of me if you have business in the future. "

Chen Nian looked at this and smiled: "What kind of star am I? I'm just a stinky cook, but senior, when you come to Chengdu, you must come and look for me. Although my restaurant is small, there are still a few If you are good at dishes, you can order whatever you want, and I will invite you to eat whatever you want!"

"no problem."

Seeing the news on the other side, Chen Nian lay down and fell asleep in peace.

He continued to get up and get busy in the afternoon, and waited until the evening when the business closed, before Chen Nian replied to the staff in the Chinese kitchen that he intended to accept the invitation on WeChat.

And the other side replied almost in seconds: "That's great, Mr. Chen, I will send you the specific time schedule and the confirmed personnel on our side later, as well as some precautions and procedures at that time. But I hope you can keep it a secret when the time comes, after all, our program hasn't been aired yet."

"No problem." Chen Nian replied.

While waiting for the other party to send the document, Chen Nian thought about it and sent a message to Director Zhang.

"Thank you Director Zhang for the recommendation. The variety show of Chinese kitchen is quite suitable for me. I plan to go. After you come to Chengdu, remember to come and find me. I will cook for you personally. You can order whatever you want. "

As a chef, Chen Nian has such an advantage that he can promise to invite people to dinner, and he cooks it himself, and the taste is not bad, so he is sincere and can make people feel sincere.

Today, Chen Nian felt that everything he did seemed to be going very smoothly. He also sent a message to Director Zhang. Not long after, the other party directly called.

"Mr. Chen, have you settled with the other side?" Director Zhang was still so polite. In their line of work, it's always right to be polite with others, and he's someone like Chen Nian who doesn't mix in the circle.

Of course, Director Zhang wouldn't be so polite if he was a starlet in the mixed circle, after all, they still have to rely on their own breath.

For aging, he is more appreciative.

That's why Chen Nian is called by the title of teacher.

"Director Zhang is too polite. You can call me Xiao Chen. How can I be considered a teacher? They called me this morning, and I just replied that they plan to join, but there is no specific contract or anything. I signed it, but I just said it verbally first." Chen Nian said quickly, he didn't want such a big director to call him teacher, it always felt weird.

"It's good to accept it. I think their program is okay, and the overall reputation is also good. Although sometimes there may be some conflicts to create some program effects, but that is just to do on the surface. At that time The director over there called me and asked for your contact information. I guess I also thought of it from that promotional video.

After all, the name of the variety show is Chinese Kitchen, and it would be good to add some Chinese elements to it, and they really need such an amateur character. If they said it a week earlier, I might not have told them, but who told me Both of you have made it official.

So I told him that you are not only good at singing Kunqu Opera, but also very good at cooking, and you have a certain reputation on the Internet. After listening to it, he planned to invite you in the name of an amateur. I told him at that time, you are now Not long after the official announcement, there is some traffic, and if it is just a casual person, it is estimated that it will not be invited.

The little star they found in their station earlier paid 20 yuan. By the way, did they tell you how much they will give you? "

While talking, Director Zhang asked Chen Nian again.

When Chen Nian heard it, the first thing he thought of was whether this thing would involve any privacy, but after thinking about it, his relationship with Director Zhang should not be so, and things like remuneration should be relatively transparent in the circle.

What's more, people also said that they will pay taxes at that time.

"What they told me was [-] yuan per installment before tax, and a whole season, twelve episodes." Chen Nian said honestly.

"It's okay. You must know that many amateurs can't get paid for this kind of variety show, and they even have to pay for it themselves. After all, the exposure of this variety show is not small, and it is also good for you." Director Zhang said, Obviously, I feel that there is no old age there.

"Actually, it's because they gave me a lot. After all, my store has just expanded, and I still owe a lot of money. I can make some money. I will pay back the money first, but I am not very good at things like fame. I don't care, anyway, my store can only do so much in a day when there are many people coming, I was thinking about seeing if I can promote it to Hongdou, after all, this is still very important to her."

"Hahaha, Hongdou and you are really a good match. I wanted to match the two of you at that time. After all, at that time, I saw that you were always flirting with each other. But after thinking about it, I didn't mention it. I didn't expect you to be so fast." It's pretty quick, and I'm with Hongdou so soon." Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Thank you Director Zhang."

"Okay, since you've already made an agreement with the other side, just follow the procedure and call me if you have anything else to do."

"Thank you, Director Zhang. You have helped me a lot. When you come to Chengdu, if you are free, you must call me. I will give you something delicious."

"Hahaha, no problem, but recently some parties from my side have come to me to take some pictures. I will choose one at that time. If there is a suitable one, I may have to come and see Mr. Chen. Do you have time here? ? It was indeed a pleasure working with you last time."

"Okay, okay, Director Zhang will contact me if necessary, and if I can, I will definitely go to help."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for today. It's getting late, so you should go to bed earlier." Director Zhang finally said.

"Okay, that director also rests earlier."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Nian was all smiles.

Sure enough, Director Zhang helped to explain this matter. Without the other party, I guess I wouldn't have the [-] appearance fee. Didn't I hear what they said, many amateurs have this opportunity to spend money to go to it.

But no matter what, it's still not bad for me.

Furthermore, apart from the two main goals mentioned earlier, Chen Nian still wants to get along more with the head chef of the five-star hotel.

"What's so beautiful about you being there alone?"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice with a smile came from the door.

Chen Nian looked up and saw that it was An Hongdou.

Today, An Hongdou is wearing a loose long-sleeved black T-shirt, plus a pair of loose pink pants, and a pair of very nice pink flat shoes on her feet.

Her hair was simply draped back, but she wore a pair of larger black-rimmed glasses.

It looks very homely and lazy.

From a distance, Chen Nian even thought it was pajamas.

Chen Nian didn't immediately answer An Hongdou's question, but instead asked, "Do you know why I like you?"

The sudden problem caught An Hongdou by surprise for a while.

She shook her head with reddish cheeks: "I don't know..."

"Because you are also a singer and a star, but you feel different from those people. You are very down-to-earth. It is you who go shopping with exquisite makeup, and it is you who sing on stage in costumes, but people like this are actually It's also you, and today we agreed to cook, so it's right not to put on so much makeup." Chen Nian said.

"There's a complete set of these little words, and I don't know where I learned them from. You want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"I still have to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I can consider it when I become financially free in the future, but these words are all said from the bottom of my heart after seeing you." Chen Nian said casually.

"Okay, I like to hear these words, please say more in the future." An Hongdou likes to hear these words from Chen Nian.

"Red bean, don't you think these words are oily? In fact, when I said it just now, I felt quite level, but after thinking about it, I suddenly felt oily. This is not the same as the earthy love words I saw on the Internet. It is the same?"

"It's really oily, but... who makes me like it? And you know? In fact, these words are indeed a bit oily, but in fact, it depends on who said them. Some people really feel uncomfortable when they say them. It's uncomfortable, but it's different out of your mouth."

"Is this Ai Wu Ji Wu?" Chen Nian was curious.

"Almost, but not all, because we have known each other for a long time, I know you are not the kind of glib person, but it is because of this that people feel very fond of you when you say these words.

It's like for many people, a cute girl's voice is also very cute, they will always ask others to scold them, what they want is this kind of contrast, you know? "

"Understood." Chen Nian nodded, "This is the same as that kind of pure and lustful."

"Yes, that's the truth."

After the two flirted in the store for a while, Chen Nian brought each other into the kitchen.

"I heard that the tomato scrambled eggs you made at noon didn't seem to be very successful, so I'll teach you how to make this dish today." Chen Nian said.

"Okay, I checked online, and people said this dish is the easiest, so I only made it at noon, and ended up overturning the car."

An Hongdou was still a little troubled when talking about this matter.

"Hahaha, this is normal. It was the same when I learned to cook with my dad when I was in college."

An Hongdou thought of the dark dishes that Chen Nian had eaten back then, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. When I came here yesterday, I heard Chen Nian's mother talk about the dark dishes that Chen Nian made at that time.

Unexpectedly, the old age, which looks so calm now, also has a rebellious and unreliable past.

But soon he became serious again: "Mr. Chen, I will definitely study hard! And if I learn it, I will pay the tuition."

When Chen Nian heard this, he suddenly became energetic: "What tuition fee?"

"I won't tell you, you will know when the time comes, but the premise is that I can learn it."

"Don't worry, today I will teach you no matter what!"

Aged for a while, full of ambition!

"I will cook it first, and then you will cook it again. I will explain everything to you when I am cooking it. When you are cooking it, I will remind you more. This dish is really special. It's simple, I think you can understand it once." Chen Nian said.

"Okay." An Hongdou nodded emphatically, but she still didn't believe it, because she felt that she was a cooking black hole.

Then Chen Nian began to process the ingredients first, and said while processing: "In fact, many people will have such a question, that is, when making tomato scrambled eggs, whether to put the tomato or the egg first, but in fact They were all wrong."

Hearing this, An Hongdou immediately began to listen attentively, and she felt that Chen Nian was going to say something unique.

"Then what should we put first?"

"The oil should be drained first."

An Hongdou's expression of anticipation froze instantly when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"However, although tomato scrambled eggs is a home-cooked dish that everyone can cook, some people make it differently from others. The skin of serious tomato scrambled eggs must be removed before cooking. Many people cook it at home. To do this, chop the tomatoes into large chunks, then throw the tomatoes and eggs into the pan and fry them together.

That is actually a more homely way. You see, I remove the skin first, and then process the tomatoes. It is best to cut them into small dices first, and then they can be set aside for later use. "
