Food starts with Mapo Tofu

"Liangzi, are you sure you don't want our sea fish? Today is very beautiful, and there is only the last one left. I'll give you a cheaper price." Mr. Qiao said enthusiastically.

"Okay, let's have another fish." Chen Nian couldn't resist the enthusiasm in the end.

As a result, Mr. Qiao had a happy face when he heard it. He first brought salted egg patties and rice and put them on the table, then turned around and brought a large plate directly from the counter.

"There's the last one left, and I'll bring it to you along with the plate." Chen Nian looked at Mr. Qiao's familiar movements and words. In the past, Mr. Qiao was like this. When there was not much left on a plate of fish, he would directly Even the plate is served, and the cooked dishes are placed directly on the plate.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Nian still couldn't hold back in the end.

However, Mr. Qiao thought Chen Nian called Master, so he didn't pay much attention to it: "It's okay, this is your first time here, and I usually do this."

After speaking, he turned and went back to the counter, and made a bowl of Laohuo soup for Chen Nian from the bucket next to him.

Looking at the color and aging, you know that it is the old hot soup made of Bawanghua, some chicken feet and chicken necks, and dried shrimps and oysters.

The color of the brew is a little yellowish, but the taste is quite strong.

Chen Nian fished it first, and sure enough, he found a small piece of chicken neck inside.

Before aging, I liked to eat the meat in the soup. Although there is not much meat on it, it is more delicious to eat the meat from the bone.

Just put it in the mouth with a light sip, and all the meat on it fell off the bone, which shows that Mr. Qiao boiled the old fire soup to a full degree.

Then he put the soup aside and began to eat.

On the salted egg patty, Chen Nian is used to putting chili on top, and then pulling it into his mouth with rice.

Eat fish while eating meatloaf. Before the dish is finished, the meal will be eaten by old age.

"Liangzi, let me bring you another bowl of rice." Mr. Qiao was very happy to see the old man eating.

The more a guest behaves like this, the better his meal is.

But even so, when Chen Nian served the second bowl of rice, he asked again: "Liangzi, how do you like the food here?"

"It's delicious!" Chen Nian said with great satisfaction.

Then Mr. Qiao went back to the counter with a cheerful face.

Seeing that Mr. Qiao was happy, Chen Nian unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Master is still like this, and his personality has not changed.

But this time, Chen came to the United States for a special purpose, not to find Master Qiao, just like this, a person came out from behind while eating like this.

Chen Nian looked up subconsciously, and found that it was the tree and stone he had seen on the boat.

And Qiao Mushi has also seen the age.

"You're here too?" Qiao Mushi asked curiously.

Chen Nian remembered that when he was still on the boat, he had chatted with this old man Qiao.

"Yes."

As a result, Qiao and Mr. Yong couldn't help feeling a little surprised when they saw that they knew each other: "You two know each other?"

Mr. Qiao Mushi smiled, and then said to Mr. Qiao and Mr. Yong in Cantonese: "The boat I was on when I came here, he was the cook on it, and even though he is young, he is actually very good at cooking."

After hearing this, Qiao Heyong couldn't help showing a surprised expression and looked at Chen Nian.

He knew his younger brother's level, and Chen Nian, who was praised so much by his younger brother, was naturally not far behind.

"He just said that my cooking is delicious." Qiao Heyong said with a smile.

"That's because what you cook is delicious. Get me a fish. Although I eat fish every day at sea, I haven't eaten the fish you cook for many years." Qiao Mushi found a place while talking. He sat down and yelled.

As a result, Qiao Heyong sighed: "The yellow bone fish has long been sold out, and I gave him the last sea fish just now."

Hearing these words, Chen Nian looked at the sea fish that he had eaten with only fish bones left in embarrassment.

"Forget it, forget it, give me a salted egg patty."

After Chen Nian finished eating in the store, he said hello and left.

I didn't do much teasing here, after all, I'm just a guest now.

After he came out, he went to the medicinal shop next door to buy some medicinal materials, and planned to make soup for himself after returning home.

And when he came out, he happened to see a gorgeously dressed woman.

The other party also looked over.

"Sister Ruyan, what's wrong?"

Seeing the woman stop, the companion next to the woman asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I got the wrong person."

After speaking, he smiled charmingly at Chen Nian, and then walked towards the other side of the street.

Looking at the backs of these women, Chen Nian vaguely heard them whispering in front of him: "This little brother is quite handsome, sister Ruyan, why don't you ask him to come and play with us?"

In the end, Ruyan gave the other party an angry look: "You don't know who are the people who come to play with us, just earn money from those perverts, and don't harm good people."

But he never looked back while speaking.

Chen Nian smiled when he heard this, carried his bag again, turned around and walked towards the place he came from.

The direction was opposite to that of Ru Yan, but after Chen Nian walked out a few steps, Ru Yan couldn't help but turned her head to take a look, looking at Chen Nian's tall and straight back, her eyes flickered, she didn't know why she always felt that this man Very familiar, but she is sure that she has never seen each other.

And that's how the two ended up drifting apart.

Passing by Guishouqi's barber shop again, the place has been smashed to pieces, leaving only Guishouqi in it wanting to cry without tears.

Chen Nian didn't stop there.

When he came to the gate tower of Chinatown again, those cart pullers were still waiting for business there, but after seeing the vintage, they jumped off the cart one by one.

And the look in Chen Nian's eyes was very strange.

One by one, those who were gearing up came towards Chen Nian.

And the charter worker who was kicked by Chen Nian stood in front of them.

When Chen Nian saw this, he guessed that the person who was beaten might have said something to them afterwards. Maybe they went around to inquire again and found that there was no one like him in Chinatown, so they concluded that he was defrauding them just now.

So now I have to vent my anger and revenge.

Looking at these seven or eight people, Chen Nian looked around, but there was a mop beside him, if he could get it, he should be able to break through the encirclement among these seven or eight people.

I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, it was really a bit unlucky.

But Chen Nian didn't have much fear in his heart. Although his hands and feet were trembling a little now, it was all because of excitement.

Since he finished his studies in the martial arts school, he has never had any chance to do it. Now that he finally has a chance, Chen Nian is full of confidence.

The main reason is that these opponents look thinner and thinner than the other, and they all look like skinny sticks.

But at this moment, the sound of a car horn suddenly came from behind.

The sudden whistle made Chen Nian's fighting spirit disappear instantly.

And those pulling cars couldn't help but turn their heads to look after hearing the sound of the car, but subconsciously gave way to the road while turning their heads, because even in the United States, people who can drive in the United States are definitely people they can't afford.

They just wanted to wait for the car to pass before attacking Chen Nian.

But they didn't expect that after the two cars drove out in front of them with their horns on, they would stop beside Chen Nian just like that.

Then the car door opened, and it was Jie Luo and Anna who got out of the car.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see!"

Jie Luo gave Chen Nian a big hug as soon as he got out of the car.

Then it was changed to Anna. After the hug, Anna originally wanted to perform a face-to-face ceremony by the way, but as soon as she leaned a little closer, she thought that Chen Nian might not be used to such etiquette, so she stopped her movements again.

But thinking of Chen Nian's somewhat cramped appearance back then, Anna still couldn't help laughing.

But meeting old friends is always fun.

In this way, after a few simple greetings, they realized that they seemed to be surrounded by others.

"Mr. Chen, it seems that you have encountered some troubles?" Jie Luo looked at these people and asked.

"Perhaps, but they are not too much trouble for me." Chen Nian said with a smile, and shrugged his shoulders in a very American way while talking.

"That's good." Zero turned his head and looked at the cart pullers, "Hey, if I were you, I would leave here right now."

As soon as Jie Luo said this, those pulling the carts suddenly realized, and quickly turned their heads one by one and pulled the carts away, not daring to stay here at all.

Because while talking, the driver of the car poked his head out of the car, with a strong figure, a head so light that it seemed that flowers could turn around, and a pair of black sunglasses.

Although he was wearing a suit, anyone who saw this attire could feel that this person was definitely not easy to mess with.

After the trouble was resolved, Chen Nian got into the car.

"Would you like to sit with us first?" Gero asked.

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help being a little curious: "It seems that all your troubles have been solved?"

"Yes." Anna nodded at this moment, "After I went back with my father's body, we held the funeral first, and there were indeed some uncles who wanted to fight for the family property, but one of the most powerful uncles fully supported me. In the past two months, I have been in charge of most of the family's business, but now I still need the help of my uncle."

"That's good." Chen Nian doesn't know much about the power struggle in this kind of big family, so naturally he can't make any good suggestions, and this is someone else's family business, "In short, take care of yourself and pay attention to safety .”

This is also the only suggestion Chen Nian can give.

"Then? What about you, Jello?"

Chen Nian asked Jie Luo again. After all, Anna is now the heir of the family, and Jie Luo can only be regarded as a boyfriend.

"I'm not interested in commercial things. I only like two things the most. The first is Anna, and the second is painting."

Jie Luo is also a smart person and knows that he should avoid suspicion at such a time. After all, Anna is indeed still young. If Jie Luo has been standing by Anna's side to take care of family affairs at this time, it will definitely arouse resistance from other members of the family.

Then Chen Nian said: "I already have a place to live in the United States this time, and I live in my master's house, but if you are free, you can come and play with me."

"Your master?"

The two got off the boat relatively early, so they didn't know who Chen Nian's master was, and Chen Nian didn't mention it at the time.

"Yes, Mr. Huo is my master, and he accepted me as an apprentice after you left."

Hearing this, the two of them showed joy on their faces, obviously they were also happy for Chen Nian, a good friend.

Mr. Huo is the person with the best culinary skills on board, and Chen Nian being able to worship him as a teacher, on the one hand, shows Chen Nian's strength, and on the other hand, it also shows that Chen Nian's reputation will never be small.

"Congratulations. If that's the case, then we should have a good celebration tonight." Anna said happily.

"how to celebrate?"

"Of course you did the cooking yourself. We haven't eaten your food for a long time." Jie Luo understood Anna's heart very well, so he said it for Anna.

"Hahaha, I knew you didn't have good intentions. It's okay to let me cook for you. When I get there, you have to help me clean up the house together."

"no problem."

The two agreed in unison.

The car drove for about half an hour before arriving at the place written on the address, got out of the car and went upstairs, Chen Nian opened the house, and the dust on the door frame fell down immediately, causing several people to cough and choke.

"It seems that our task is very heavy." Chen Nian said.

"Don't worry, there are three of us, we can clean up soon." Anna was obviously very confident about this.

Chen Nian didn't expect that Anna, the eldest lady of the family, would not resist such things as cleaning at all.

After putting down the luggage, Chen Jienian first took out the gifts prepared for them from the inside.

After seeing it, both of them expressed their liking very much.

Immediately afterwards, they began to clean up. Although the place is full of dust, it can be seen from the overall situation that Mr. Huo is a person who loves cleanliness, and everything is neatly placed.

On the table, on the bed, and some exquisite decorations, all of them were covered with black cloth.

After removing those cloths, the inside was clean and spotless.

This undoubtedly saved a lot of effort for their cleaning.

Even so, they were still busy until after six o'clock in the evening.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

During the cleaning process, Chen Nian also saw Mr. Huo's kitchen, which also had all kinds of utensils.

"Oh, Mr. Chen is going to cook by himself again, but as for the dishes, Mr. Chen, you can watch the dishes. We have only eaten a few dishes you made. I don't think those few dishes should represent your taste. Cooking skills, so you can tell me what ingredients you need, and I will arrange for the driver to let him buy it."

Anna says
But just after he finished speaking, Jie Luo suddenly interrupted: "By the way, please allow me to show you my squirrel mandarin fish. After all, Mr. Chen taught me this. To be honest, Mr. Chen should He is also my master."
