Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 580 Anna's Thanks
Yangzhi Ganlu is also a Cantonese-style drink, and I drank it when I was in school before Chen Nian.

I also drank it when I was in San Francisco before, because there were many Cantonese people in Chinatown at that time, so naturally someone opened a sugar shop.

However, after tasting it, Chen Nian found that the poplar nectar made by Maidi is really good.

The taste is also very authentic.

After that, Mr. Huo brought out one dish after another from the kitchen, all of which opened Chen Nian's eyes.

"It turns out that this is how top-level restaurants cook." Chen Nian couldn't help sighing.

There are many Mr. Cai Huo who will make some improvements on the original basis, either replace one of the ingredients with a more suitable ingredient, or add one or two more ingredients that can improve the freshness and taste.

But overall, these dishes all have one characteristic.

The plate is large, the quantity is small, and the grass is cut.

It is probably impossible to be full on just one dish.

Although every dish is served, at least two chopsticks per person must be guaranteed, but after eating this meal tonight, I found that each person is at most two chopsticks.

And like the previous dragon belt jade pear fragrance, each person can only eat one portion.

Unless someone doesn't want to eat, there will be an extra portion.

But in the end, Mr. Huo brought up a small roast suckling pig, and the old man was full in the end.

Of course, Mr. Huo, who is the cook, was the last to eat. Although he also ate some when serving the dishes, he sat down with everyone and chatted for a while.

"Congratulations to everyone who has achieved good results in this competition. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future. I have already planned to invite the top ten to have a casual meal every time after the competition. Let's sit down and chat. "

When everyone heard this, they naturally nodded happily in agreement.

When it was time to end the show after drinking and eating, Mr. Huo deliberately left it for a long time.

"How is it? Are you still used to this boat?"

Chen Nian smiled: "I'm completely used to it now, that is, I was a little uncomfortable when I first boarded the boat. After a few days of discomfort, I still have a strong ability to adapt."

Mr. Huo nodded: "That's good, but I feel that your adaptability is really good, otherwise it would be impossible to learn so many cuisines from south to north in the past few years."

"By the way, do you think there is any room for improvement in our kitchen or restaurant?"

"Improvements?" Chen Nian thought for a while, "Is it considered to find some people who play the piano or cello when the guests are dining to enrich the dining experience of the guests?"

Chen Nian can only think of this. After all, it is really unrealistic to add some high-tech things in this era.

But other than that, the restaurants on the ship are doing very well.

After hearing this, Mr. Huo's eyes brightened: "This seems very good. More artistic performances can really cultivate sentiment, and soothing music can also calm the guests down."

Mr. Huo said and looked at Chen Nian appreciatively: "That's right, it's not too early today. I'll suggest it to the captain tomorrow. After the ship docks, see if I can find a music player to try first. If it works If it's okay, I'll bring this suggestion up to the boss again.

I don't know many people here, but the boss is from the upper class of England, and he will be able to find some outstanding musicians to live on this ship. "

But as he talked, Chen Nian thought of another thing: "By the way, Master, I have another idea. The kitchen on our ship is still some distance away from the dining room. Maybe one or two chefs can be specially selected for them to serve in the restaurant." A separate kitchen is also opened up nearby. The place is not too big, but the external window is made of glass, so that guests can also see the chef working there.

Although we can't see all the chefs, at least we can let the guests know that our kitchen is relatively clean. If we combine it with the activity of visiting the kitchen, I think the effect may be better. "

Mr. Huo did not expect Chen Nian to make such an opinion again.

And that opinion seems to sound good too.

The main reason is that this setting does not take up too much space.

Some people in the upper class are indeed more picky, and the richer they are, the more status they have, the higher their requirements for food.

"Okay, I have to talk to the boss about this suggestion later, after all, that would be a modification of the ship, but I think the possibility of passing it is very high." But Mr. Huo soon diverged from the old proposal. Think for a moment: "Or you could combine this kitchen with the inspiration of the chefs."

Chen Nian nodded. He was just making a suggestion. As for how to implement it in the end or the details involved in the transformation, it was not something he had to worry about.

But before finally leaving, Chen Nian asked his last question: "Master, I don't know your name yet, I only know that your surname is Huo..."

I don't know, Chen Nian always feels that this is not the case, or if others ask what his master's name is, he can't answer it, what is that like?

And Mr. Huo was stunned for a moment when he heard this question. Obviously, he hadn't thought about it, and thought that Chen Nian had already found out his name.

"I thought you knew..."

Chen Nian shook his head, a little ashamed: "During the time I was on the ship, I was busy working in the kitchen every day, and sometimes I would learn Italian with Tonio, the chef's apprentice of Master Gio. language, to exchange cooking skills, I have never thought of it.”

After hearing this, Mr. Huo couldn't help but patted Chen Nian on the shoulder with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's a good thing for young people to study hard. It is still necessary to learn one more language. At least your English is good now. Learning another Italian is not only It can broaden your horizons, and it will be more convenient to meet some Italian chefs in the future."

Then he looked into Chen Nian's eyes and said slowly: "Huo Yang, Wufu Tu Sumeng, Yang who lit the lamp Ye Weiyang."

After Chen Nian heard the name, he was taken aback for a moment. After all, if you just listen to Huo Yang without thinking carefully, it sounds pretty good, but after thinking about it for a while, it's a disaster...

But this is his master, so naturally Chen Nian couldn't say that.

"Okay, let's go back, it's getting late, I'll get someone to clean up here."

Seeing what Master said, Chen Nian naturally couldn't stay any longer, so after saying hello, he went downstairs and returned to his room.

It is now past eleven o'clock in the evening.

On the way back to the room, Chen Nian suddenly wanted to take a walk on the deck.

In the end, it was a coincidence that she met Vivienne again, but this time Vivian was not alone here, she was accompanied by Anna.

And the eyes of the three of them just happened to meet.

It's not appropriate for Chen Nian to turn around and leave now.

Although Chen Nian was not that kind of social terrorist, Vivienne had said those things to him earlier, which made Chen Nian a little embarrassed to see him again.

"Mr. Chen! This way!"

When Anna saw Mr. Chen, she quickly waved her hands high.

Chen Nian sighed, thinking that he couldn't escape this time.

Had no choice but to go over there.

"Ms. Vivian, Miss Anna." Chen Nian nodded in greeting.

"Mr. Chen, why haven't you slept yet? It's so late, don't you want to work tomorrow?" Anna asked curiously.

Why did this little girl say such things in the first place?
Chen Nian couldn't help slandering in his heart, but his face was still full of smiles: "Just now we had another meal at Mr. Huo's, and we just came back from eating, and we were going to rest. We passed by the deck and thought about today's night. Not bad, I plan to come out to take a look and relax myself."

"So that's the case." Anna nodded, her eyes were as bright as stars, "But Mr. Chen would like to thank you this time. I heard from the second officer later that you set a trap to invite him to visit you. Eat there, so that the other party can relax their vigilance, and then took another chef to go to Gero's room to ambush in advance, and then caught West, otherwise, Gero would definitely not be able to clean up this time. suspected."

"It's nothing, helping others is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation, and my chef friend and I are both tall and strong, so there is no need to be afraid of him. That's the meal."

Chen Nian said with a smile, and waved his hands to show that you are welcome, this is all his own effort.

"Thank you very much, and Jie Luo also asked me to express my gratitude to you. He still needs to cooperate with the second officer to understand the situation today, and he will be free tomorrow." Anna said again.

"It's fine, you can also order my dishes together at that time, and I will change two dishes here after five days, the waiter should know, and you can also try my new dishes at that time. "Chen Nian said.

"Definitely!" Anna said excitedly, squeezing her powder fist.

But soon she thought of her parents again, and her expression darkened: "But... my parents can't eat anymore..."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, but fortunately Vivienne comforted her in time: "Anna, don't be too sad, we don't want this kind of thing to happen, but people always have to look forward, don't they? And Mr. Captain also I have arranged a flight back to the United States for you, and you can go back to hold the funeral after the ship docks in a few days, and as for West, I believe Mr. Captain will give you a satisfactory answer."

Anna's eyes were a little red at the moment.

"Thank you, Ms. Vivian, if it weren't for you these days, I really don't know what I would do."

At this moment, Vivienne gently hugged Anna, and slowly pressed her on her chest, and slowly stroked Anna's back with the other hand: "Don't worry, I will also be in the United States by then." Dock, if you need my help, just contact me."

Looking at Vivienne's appearance, Chen Nian suddenly felt that there was a bit of maternal brilliance shining on her.

Anna cried in Vivian's arms like this for a while: "Sorry, I lost my temper today, I'll go back first, you guys chat here first, and finally thank you very much, Mr. Chen."

Chen Nian is also feeling a little depressed at the moment. Chen Nian doesn't know who Anna's parents are, but for Anna, losing her parents at such an age is still very painful. After all, she and her have similar experiences.

It's just that he still has a mother, and Anna has nothing.

Then Anna wiped her tears and went back to the room sobbing, leaving Chen Nian and Vivian again.

"Ms. Vivian, did Miss Anna come to see me because you gave her an idea?" Chen Nian asked curiously after Anna left.

"What do you think?" Vivienne didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Ms. Vivian, it's not polite to answer questions with questions! Although I don't have much contact with Miss Anna, I don't think she's the kind of person who would ask me for help.

And I always feel that Miss Anna is actually very simple, she may not be able to notice many details, and some time ago, when West came to my place to order food, the portion was not small, and those meals depended on Miss Anna alone People should be endless, I think you should be on Anna's side at that time, right? "

Hearing Chen Nian's reasoning, Vivian couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling: "Sure enough, I was in Anna's room during that time. She was a poor child, and even her lover was arrested. stand up.

My room is just next to her previous room, so I can meet her often when I go out, so after the accident, I kind of want to help her, at least to make a girl less painful. "

"I didn't expect you to have such a side." Chen Nian felt a little surprised, after all, he used to think that Vivienne was just a lonely young woman.

Moreover, Chen Nian didn't dare to be alone with this woman for a long time. Wouldn't it be good to have this time to study more new dishes by himself?
And Vivian also saw that Chen Nian was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't say much, and after a few more pleasantries, she asked Chen Nian to go back first, and she still wanted to see the scenery here by herself.

Chen Nian nodded, greeted and left.

Today is a very satisfying day for Chen Nian, and in addition, he won a good ranking in the evening.

Then it's time to think about which two dishes you want to replace.

However, in the evening, the master said to wait until five days later for the replacement to give the guests a period of adaptation, so Chen Nian is not in a hurry about it.

In this way, after returning to the house, Chen Nian simply washed up and fell asleep on the bed.

At this time, Mr. Huo came to the office on the ship...

The second officer on board is also here.

The second officer recounted everything he had interrogated.

After hearing this, the two couldn't help frowning slightly.

Among them, the captain is most worried. After all, he needs to be responsible for all affairs on the ship: "I didn't expect Paul to be involved in this matter. This is a bit difficult..."
