Food starts with Mapo Tofu

After eating shrimp, no matter how much Anna ate, she couldn't turn her mind back to the food.

Because every time she ate something with a fork, she would think of what Gero looked like just now in her mind.

Because originally their closest contact was holding hands and hugging, but now it was considered an indirect kiss, how could this keep her from blushing.

"Why are you blushing?" Jie Luo asked knowingly.

At this moment, Anna only felt that she was about to die of shame: "You should ask yourself."

Jie Luo smiled, and wanted to say a few more words, but at this moment the waiter brought the next dish.

"This dish is called squirrel mandarin fish. It looks more like a squirrel. The species of this fish is called mandarin fish. That's why it got its name. The taste of this dish is also sweet and sour." The waiter served two After the course, I also knew that these two young people really don't know much about Chinese food, and they like to ask questions, so before the two asked questions, he took the initiative to introduce them.

Compared with the previous two dishes, this dish caught their attention as soon as it was served.

The main reason is that the shape is so eye-catching, and the orange-red appearance looks amazing.

Coupled with the realistic shape, it seems to be a living squirrel lying quietly on the plate.

"It's so cute." Anna couldn't help holding her face and said in surprise, "Did you order this for me too?"

Jie Luo nodded: "Of course, but I didn't know it looked like this before, it was just because the chef made this dish, and I knew you like fish, so I ordered it, but it didn't matter at all. I thought it would bring such a big surprise.”

But Anna was still very pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

If one of the first two dishes is for appetizers and the other is for savory taste, then this dish is purely delicious. Originally, their eating habits were more inclined to sweet and sour tastes, and the fish meat was processed without care. It has a fishy smell and tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The layer of sweet and sour sauce attached to the outside is more refreshing than eating the fruit directly.

"I've never eaten such a dish, it's really amazing, I didn't feel anything special when I came here before, but after eating these three dishes, I think I'm going to fall in love with the cuisine of this oriental country Already." Anna said, because of these few dishes, she has already developed a strong yearning for this country.

"I am willing to settle here with you." Jie Luo looked at the girl in front of him affectionately and said.

"Then we will live here together. I heard that this country is very big, and there must be a lot of food. The two of us can travel to every place here and taste all the food."

"Okay." Zero nodded solemnly.

The squirrel mandarin fish became the most satisfying dish for them in the past few days when they came to the boat, and they chatted while eating. When Jie Luo saw that Anna really liked it, he patted his chest on the spot and said that he must learn this The recipe of this dish can be cooked for Anna even after getting off the boat.

"It's okay, even if you can't eat it, it's okay. Some memories are beautiful because they can only exist in your mind." Anna looked very open this time, "But I'm not hitting you, it's because I When discussing business with my parents and other companies here, I heard them say that if you want to learn other people's skills in this country, you have to learn from a teacher, and sometimes they accept apprentices because of fate.

Otherwise, no matter how good the person is, there are even many people who learn to cook from others. Only after four or five years have passed can they be qualified to cook by themselves. Before that, they were all kinds of messy assistants. Work. "

After Anna finished what she said earlier, she added a few more words, because she was afraid that Gero might misunderstand.

But Gero is not the kind of person who is easy to be hit. If that is the case, he would not run to this ship for love.

"I will definitely learn it, even if he is my master or something else, I will definitely learn this dish!"

Gero said sternly.

"Well, I knew you were the best." Anna said with a smile and didn't say anything more, but the staff below are generally not in the area where we are active, and if they don't wear chef clothes If we change clothes, we will not be able to recognize them even more. "

"Isn't there going to be a visit to the kitchen in a while? When the time comes, the two of us will sign up to go and have a look together." Jie Luo said.

The dish was not finished yet, and they all felt almost full.

Fortunately, the last thing that was not served was a soup.

But when Wensi Tofu was served, they realized that they had underestimated the chef.

"Really, I'm getting more and more curious about the chef who made this dish. I think this person must be a master!" Anna couldn't help but said.

But Jie Luo shook his head: "No, no, I already knew about it when I boarded the boat, and you should also know that the boat is divided, just like I live in the bottom floor area. , and you live on the third floor.

Those who live on the first and second floors of Platinum Star can only eat in this restaurant, but if they are passengers on the third floor, they can eat in the restaurant above.

Moreover, the restaurants are different, and the chefs inside are also different. I have seen chefs on this ship are distinguished by the color of their collars. Chef collars are blue.

I have also seen chefs with gray collars who are supposed to be assistants. "

Anna nodded. She hadn't noticed this before, because her parents bought tickets on the third floor, so they had a lot of authority, and they could eat wherever they wanted.

She didn't know until today that the reason why Jie Luo didn't go up was actually because he didn't have the authority to go up.

"Then what do you mean to say, the chefs who made the dishes we ate today are not as good as those above?" Anna felt a little unbelievable, "But I think these dishes are much better than the above."

"I think so too." Gero nodded in agreement, "Although I haven't eaten the food made by the chef above, I feel that this new chef is of a very high level. The taste is very good, in fact, I am not used to some dishes in this country, but I don’t feel unaccustomed to these few dishes today.”

"Jello, what do you think this chef should look like?" At this moment, Anna could still ask.

"I think he should be a very respectable old man at first glance, and he should be meticulous in terms of hairstyle, face, and clothing." Jie Luo said.

"Maybe he still wears a pair of glasses," Anna added.

"That's right." Zero nodded wildly. "Perhaps he still has a touching emotional injury, which is why he was able to come to this ship and wander around."

They just said one sentence to each other, and the more they told the story, the more touching it was, and they almost became the contemporary Romeo and Juliet of the sea.

And Chen Nian was also described by them as a man who was emotionally hurt when he was young, and his lover died unexpectedly, and he continued to never marry since then, and after traveling through all the lands the two of them had traveled, he chose to come to On this ship, continue to drift.

"The next time I have a chance, I will definitely go see him!" Anna said.

Jie Luo nodded along, but in his heart he wanted not only to see the old man, but also to learn how to make squirrel mandarin fish from the old man.

In this way, they chatted again after eating, and then they separated.

Chen Nian was still working in the kitchen. .

In fact, Chen Nian doesn't feel that busy today, but when the waiters came back to serve dishes several times, they would take advantage of the opportunity and sigh with Chen Nian's help chefs: "The new master Chen is really very good. Great, when I went to serve the dishes just now, the guests outside were very satisfied.

Next, Master Chen should be getting busier and busier. Just wait and see, by tomorrow, more and more customers will order these dishes made by Master Chen. "

It was Dylan who was chatting with the waiter, and then Dylan turned around and told Chen Nian about the situation.

"It doesn't matter to me, but you may be a little busier then." Chen Nian said he didn't care much.

Even if there are more orders tomorrow, there is only one person on my side anyway, and the most I can do is to cook as fast as possible, but at the same time, the quality of the dishes must be guaranteed. If I can't keep up, it's not my problem.

As for the guests willing to wait, it can only let them wait.

And another key point is that Chen Nian can't confirm how many people will order these dishes tomorrow, so even if it's time to pick up the ingredients tomorrow, he can only take it easy.

In this way, once all the ingredients are used up tomorrow, all that can be sold will be sold. The only way is to fetch the ingredients again, but that will take a lot of time.

"Take one step at a time, and wait until tomorrow to talk about tomorrow's affairs." Chen Nian turned around and said to the four helpers.

On the Platinum Star ship, guests on the third floor can order meals from the restaurants below, but on the contrary, the restaurants on the first and second floors have no access to the menus of the restaurants on the third floor. After all, most of the dishes above are time-consuming .

Naturally, it is necessary to control the quantity of food ordered to ensure the quality.

So today, among the waiters who came to pick up the food, there were some who delivered the food upstairs.

When eating on board, you can choose to eat in the restaurant on board, or you can choose to eat in the room.

The waiter will not charge extra for delivery to the door. Of course, if the customer is willing to tip, it is the customer's freedom.

Just when the lunch time was about to end, a waiter suddenly walked into the kitchen and came to Chen Nian: "Master Chen has a guest upstairs...he, they said..."

Seeing that the other party was not very fluent in speaking, Chen Nian thought that the second language that the other party should master when boarding the ship was not Chinese.

It's just that I've been exposed to it here, so I've learned a little bit, but it's still not easy.

So he asked directly in English: "You can speak in English."

When the waiter heard this, he felt relieved, and a grateful expression appeared on his face.

After all, blue-collar chefs like Chen Nian are relatively higher-level than waiters like them.

There was originally a hierarchical system on this ship, otherwise there would be no third-tier privileged people.

Chen Nian was willing to take the initiative to accommodate him and talk in English, which greatly improved his affection for Chen Nian.

"Master Chen is like this. When I went to deliver the dishes just now, some customers said they wanted to order your dishes, so I wanted me to come over and ask if you accept reservations."

Chen Nian thought about it. It seems that Huang Su said that when he was at Huang Su's side before, he can accept reservations if the guests request it.

After all, some guests may still be sightseeing on the deck before the meal time, or visit other places, and have no time to order food, but when they order food at the meal time, they will inevitably wait, so you can book the dishes and meal time in advance .

When the time comes, the waiter will bring the food over on time.

"Yes, this is the rule on the ship, isn't it?" Chen Nian nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, but since the guest asked, I still have to ask Master Chen about your side." The waiter nodded, "By the way, Master Chen, my name is West Brown, you can call me Weiss Te, if you have any needs here, you can tell me directly, although our job is to serve the guests on the ship, if a master like you needs it, we are also very willing to help."

"No problem, but what dishes do the guests on the third floor want to order?"

Then West recounted the dishes that the guests upstairs wanted to order.

Chen Nian nodded, turned around and asked Tom to write it down.

Not long after that, the meal time ended, and the kitchen stopped working.

Afterwards, before Chen Nian could say anything, the cooks enthusiastically came over to let Chen Nian go back to rest at ease, saying that they could handle it here.

But it was the first time for Chen Nian to work with them, so how could he just let go of the shopkeeper and leave the rest of the work to them, but since these people were willing to take the initiative to take on Chen Nian, they naturally didn't bother to do it themselves.

I told them what points to pay attention to when cleaning up, especially the pot must be maintained and cleaned according to the method I said.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood.

After that, Chen Nian looked up, and then walked towards Huang Su.

I didn't have much time before, but now that I finally have some free time, Chen Nian naturally has to go over to say hello.

"Master Huang, I'm really sorry. I didn't bother to say hello to you when I came here earlier. I was a little rude."

And Huang Su also showed a smile after hearing this: "It's okay, it's okay, working on the ship is like this, it's busy, I can understand it, it's very rare for you to get started so quickly when you are new to this field, work hard , don’t think too much, you can ask me if you don’t understand anything in the future.”

Chen Nian nodded: "Okay, then I may have to trouble Master Huang." Chen Nian was about to turn around after speaking, "Then I'll go back to Master Huang first. You are busy first, so I won't bother you."

After talking about Chen Nian, he turned around and returned to his work station to see how the kitchen helpers cleaned up and whether they followed his requirements.

As a result, as soon as Chen Nian turned around, Huang Su wanted to give himself a big mouth.

"Why should I give him a good face?"
