Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Shen Qing and the others ate back and forth at this table for two hours, and it was already 08:30 when they left.

But there are not many people in Honghong Hotel, and there are still people queuing outside the restaurant.

People are obsessed with their food hobbies and longings. For some people, as long as they can eat what they want, even if they wait in line for an hour or two, it doesn't matter.

It's just that the turning speed of Honghong Restaurant is quite fast. After all, in such a small restaurant, people will unconsciously speed up their meals when eating.

"By the way, Xiao Xie, I'll give you a day off tomorrow, go back to spend time with your family, and bring them over for dinner in the evening. I'll close the shop ahead of time, so we can have a good get-together." Chen Nian said While cooking, he said.

They had agreed earlier that Xie Yu brought his wife and children over for a meal.

"Master, aren't you going on a business trip in a few days? Why don't I rest after you come back..." Xie Yu hesitated.

"It's okay, it's not bad for a day or two. Originally, you didn't spend much time with your family. You must have already made an agreement with them this time. If you don't count your words, there will be family conflicts. Don't worry, you will have trouble tomorrow." Just take a good rest and don't worry about anything else." Chen Nian urged.

Seeing what Xie Yu was about to say, Chen Nian waved his hand unrestrainedly.

Seeing Chen Nian's appearance, Xie Yu was moved for a moment, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

It was like this until about ten o'clock in the evening, Xie Yu packed up the pots and stoves he was in charge of and went back first, while the others stayed in the shop to work overtime, trying to learn as much as possible before their master left. .

The house that Xie Yu rented was not very far from the Honghong Hotel, and it took about 10 minutes to walk.

Originally, he always went to get off work with other people, so that he could talk and chat on the way home, so that he would not be too boring alone.

But because he had to rest tomorrow and spend time with his family and children, Xie Yu didn't stay in the Red Hotel to practice with everyone today.

The streets of Chengdu at ten o'clock in the evening are still very lively, especially now that the temperature has remained high even though it has entered autumn.

Therefore, there are still many barbecue stalls on the street, such as Malatang and skewers, which form part of the nightlife of Chengdu people.

Taking out his mobile phone, Xie Yu skillfully pressed a series of phone numbers: "Hey, wife, what did you have for dinner?"

"The child has eaten? You haven't eaten yet?"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Is the child asleep now?"

"It's good to sleep, then what do you want to eat? I just got off work and bought some for you outside."

"Barbecue, okay, there is a barbecue stand in front of me, I'll buy some for you."

Then Xie Yu walked to the barbecue stand, looked at the various skewers on the barbecue stand, and reported the name of the dish to his wife.

Not long after, he handed the selected skewers to the owner of the barbecue stand, and then sat aside and waited.

Xie Yu ordered some more than what his wife ordered, because he thought that he hadn't eaten with his wife for a long time, and it happened that he was not particularly full in the afternoon, and he could have some supper when he went back.

After waiting like this for about ten minutes, all his skewers were cooked.

Back home with the barbecue: "Honey, I'm back, come, come, eat barbecue."

The sound was not very loud, mainly because I was afraid of waking up the sleeping child.

This is the case for children. Try to let them develop a regular routine, play whenever they want during the day, but must sleep at night.

Otherwise, if the child makes a fuss at night, the whole family will suffer.

Soon a figure crept out of the bedroom, wearing a loose nightgown, and his hair was just casually tied into a ball and tied behind his head.

He is Xie Yu's wife named Zhou Ying,

"Husband, you are back, are you tired today?" Zhou Ying asked.

"I'm not tired. Compared with you, I'm much more relaxed. I'm just preparing and cooking vegetables over there, but you have to take care of the children at home, and you can't rest at all. Not only are you tired, but your heart is also tired."

"After all, take care of the child, it will be fine when the child grows up." Zhou Ying smiled, stepped forward to take the barbecue from Xie Yu's hand, put it under her nose, and took a deep breath: "It smells so good! I haven't eaten barbecue in a long time."

"Didn't you buy it back? But I didn't put chili peppers in it. You still have to feed the baby. Eating chili peppers may affect the milk." After changing his shoes, Xie Yu took off his shirt and arrived shirtless. Sit facing your wife at the dinner table.

"It's okay, now is a special period, if you don't want to eat, you don't have to eat. If you want to eat, there will be more opportunities in the future. Now that I can satisfy my appetite and eat barbecue, I am already very satisfied." Zhou Ying smiled. As he said that, he took out the barbecue inside and put it on a plate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, I took another mutton skewer and started to eat it.

Xie Yu also picked up a string of flesh and blood and slapped it fiercely: "By the way, the boss gave me a day off tomorrow, let's take the children out to play, I was on the way back just now I also thought about it, either go to the zoo, or go to the panda base to take a look."

Zhou Ying had finished the string of mutton skewers, and picked up a handful of vegetable rolls to look at. The bean curd was wrapped with lettuce, and the sauce and seasonings on it were very attractive. He took a bite first, Then he nodded: "I think it's ok. To be honest, I also want to go out for a while. The farthest place I have been to recently is the downstairs of the community. I buy things online, but I think we should go Let’s go to the zoo, there are more kinds of animals in the zoo.”

"Okay, let's go to the zoo tomorrow. I bought the tickets in advance. We don't have to queue up to buy tickets tomorrow. Let's go there earlier. It's best to get in when it's not too hot. Wait a minute After eating, I will go down to throw out the garbage, and buy some water and snacks for tomorrow.”

Xie Yu also nodded, and then said.

Seeing her husband's reliable appearance, Zhou Ying couldn't help showing a reassuring smile on her face. She married Xie Yu because Xie Yu was very down-to-earth and motivated. vague.

And no matter what you do, you think very comprehensively and thoughtfully.

"We'll go to the zoo tomorrow morning. If we can come out at noon, we'll have some food outside. In the afternoon, we'll take you shopping and buy clothes. In the evening, we'll go to our store.

Everyone still wants to meet you, so I just want to have a meal with you and let Ruoruo celebrate by the way. "Xie Yu went on to arrange tomorrow's itinerary.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Although Zhou Ying was very independent when she was alone with the children at home, once she was with Xie Yu, she became very dependent and dependent on Xie Yu.

"Then let's make a decision for now. If you feel tired tomorrow or have other places you want to go, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhou Ying nodded, but soon she thought of another thing: "Then do you want to buy something when we go there tomorrow? Although your master is not much older than you, he is yours after all." Master, it's my first time going there, and it doesn't feel good empty-handed."

"That's true." Xie Yu said thoughtfully while chewing on the tough beef tendon in his mouth, "Then let's buy a carton of milk when we go tomorrow, and then bring some fruit."

"Do you want to buy some more eggs?" Zhou Ying asked again.

"No, my master runs a restaurant. How could there be no eggs in the store?" Xie Yu shook his head. "I think milk and fruit should be fine. Let's just buy more kinds when the time comes."

In the end they settled on it.

After eating the barbecue, Xie Yu took the garbage downstairs and threw it away, and went to the supermarket to buy some water and snacks, which he would bring with him when he went tomorrow.

It is much better to be able to prepare everything outside than to buy hastily after entering the inside.

Moreover, Xie Yu knew what Zhou Ying liked to eat and drink. The food and drink bought this time were basically Zhou Ying's favorite food.

After returning home, he began to ask his wife what dishes she wanted to eat?
"Dish, but I haven't read the menu in your store yet."

But Xie Yu didn't care at all: "You can rest assured that there is no dish that my master doesn't know."

She is now completely used to her husband's praise and praise of his master named Chen Nian, so that in Zhou Ying's heart, Chen Nian is a complete genius in the chef world.

"Just tell me what you like to eat." Xie Yu added.

"What I want to eat... I don't seem to have anything in particular I want to eat, or else I'll have a sweet and sour pork tenderloin." Zhou Ying finally thought about it, and suddenly such a dish popped out of her mind.

"What about the rest?"

"Why don't you let your master watch the rest, I really can't think of it, my favorite is sweet and sour pork, when I was still in school, I accidentally discovered the school's hidden menu—— —Sweet and sour pork rice bowl, and the price is the same as other meat bowls.”

"Okay, then I'll tell Master."

It didn't take long for Chen Nian to receive the WeChat. After reading it, he already had a rough idea of ​​what kind of dishes Xie Yu's family likes to eat.

Except for the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Chen Nian needs to be free to use other dishes, but Chen Nian knows that besides Xie Yu, his family is the main character who came to eat this time.

Not long after Zhou Ying gave birth, she is still breastfeeding the baby, so it is not suitable to eat food that is too strong or too spicy. On the contrary, there are some interesting things that can arouse her interest.

So after determining the other party's current situation and what they mainly like to eat

After sorting out all the ingredients needed, Chen Nian sent a WeChat message directly to Brother Liu, and at the same time sent a deposit.

The main thing is to talk about how much each ingredient needs and what quality it needs...

"Okay, I see. Tomorrow, you will take your wife and children out to have fun, and come to the store around 06:30 in the evening."

……

After Chen Nian finished the phone call with Xie Yu, he started busy in the kitchen, arranging everyone's work for tomorrow.

"Zhaomei, you will help me out tomorrow, and if necessary, I may let you cook a dish or two."

"Master... I can't do it, I've never done it before..." Qiao Zhaomei quickly declined.

"Don't underestimate yourself, what can you do? You can do it if you stay in the restaurant for such a long time." Chen Nian reminded, "The main reason is to give Xiao Xie a day off to spend time with his family, and then cook. It's all on my side, so I need a helper to get started when I can't spare."

Qiao Zhaomei thought about it for a while and felt that what Chen Nian said was quite right: "Okay, master, then you will also help to look at it at that time, and tell me what is wrong."

"Don't worry, I don't like to hide, and I don't like to beat around the bush. Whatever doesn't work is what I can't do." Chen Nian said with a smile, "Don't think I'll just say you when the time comes."

When Qiao Zhaomei heard this, she couldn't help puffing up her chest: "Master, there is criticism to make progress. There is an idiom to say..." As he spoke, he looked at He Hai next to him.

"If you hear it, you will be happy. Brother Xie told me this before."

"That's right, that's the idiom." Qiao Zhaomei nodded quickly.

But today everyone has almost practiced. After tidying up the kitchen together, Chen Nian left the restaurant with them.

But since their home is in the opposite direction, Chen Nian couldn't go with other people, but just rode his electric bike towards home.

After arriving home, Chen Nian planned to wash up quickly, and then check if Hongdou had fallen asleep, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw his cousin sitting on the sofa writing and drawing something.

"Sister, why haven't you slept today? Are you staying up late again?"

Lu Xiao raised his head after hearing Chen Nian's voice: "That's not true, but when I came back today, I accidentally heard two people working on the street chatting. For the natural gas pipeline, it will take about half a month to dig the road and put up fences. I am a little worried.

At that time, my store may have just opened, and I will encounter this kind of thing as soon as it opens. "

As soon as Chen Nian heard it, he understood what his cousin was worrying about.

To reinstall the natural gas pipeline, the road must be dug and fenced. This will have a great impact on the business of the shops on both sides of the street.

Especially in the newly opened stores in the past few days, there is no way to gather the flow of people.

Moreover, the agreement my cousin signed with the landlord at the beginning was that the rent would start to be calculated from the day the contract was signed, which means that the rent is also required to be paid during the renovation time.

If the natural gas pipeline is repaired for half a month like this, it means that Lu Xiao will lose another half a month, and the loss after opening the business will not be the same as the rent paid now.

At that time, the loss of ingredients will be quite large!

"Sister, I think otherwise, you can talk to the landlord about it, and see if you can discuss about rent reduction or something..."
