Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 620 Ready to Go (seeking a monthly pass)

Just like that, the alarm clock rang early the next morning.

Chen Nian also opened his eyes and woke up from the bed, although as far as Chen Nian is concerned, he has developed a biological clock for getting up early, even if there is no alarm clock, he can wake up automatically at that time.

But setting the alarm clock is just to prevent problems before they happen.

And I am used to listening to the alarm clock ringing every morning, so Chen Nian has not turned it off.

But when he opened his eyes and was getting dressed, Chen Nian heard a knock on the door.

"Son, get up! It's getting late!"

Hearing this voice, Chen Nian couldn't help being extremely surprised.

After all, it is rare for my mother to wake up so early.

"coming."

However, Chen Nian quickly got up from the bed and got dressed, while replying.

"Mom, why did you get up so early today?"

"Look at what you said, didn't I say last night that I would call you today? You can't oversleep, right?"

"Indeed, if you hadn't called me, I really wouldn't be able to get up today." Chen Nian said.

Feng Honghong's face was full of joy when she heard it.

"Okay, go and wash up quickly, and we will go to the store together later."

Chen Nian nodded and went to the bathroom and spent 5 minutes washing his face and brushing his teeth, and by the way he looked in the mirror for a while.

"It's not ashamed to go on the show with such an image." In the end, Chen Nian gave such an evaluation of himself.

And Feng Honghong also changed clothes after a simple wash, and then Chen Nian came downstairs with the suitcase, and rode an electric car to the store.

Although it is not allowed to ride electric vehicles to bring adults in traffic, sometimes the implementation is not so standardized.

After riding a bicycle on the street and seeing the traffic police from a distance, the people sitting behind will hurry down or turn around and continue walking.

But sometimes it is really necessary to take people by bike.

Of course, Chen Nian also knows this, at most he walks slower when leading people, and observes the surrounding situation more.

When Chen Nian came to the door of the store, he happened to run into Xie Yu who came to open the door to receive the ingredients in the morning.

Today is the second time he came to the store so early. After all, Chen Nian was going on a business trip, so the store was basically entrusted to him, and he naturally had to come earlier to prepare breakfast.

"Master, why are you here?" Xie Yu asked curiously.

"I'll start from here later, and I can do some work in the morning." Chen Nian said with a smile.

"Oh, Master, you are going to be on a business trip and come to the store. It would be nice to sleep at home for a while." Xie Yu admired Chen Nian very much in his heart, and opened the door while talking.

After several people entered the store, Chen Nian put his luggage into the counter, and then began to roll up his sleeves to help pack.

But at this moment, Xie Yu stopped him: "Master, let me do these things. Don't touch these clean clothes you changed today, otherwise it will be inappropriate to go out to meet people with a bad smell on your body."

"It's okay, you can change your clothes then, anyway, I brought a lot of clothes."

"Master, it's true that even if you change your clothes at that time, you will still have a smell on your body. You must always give people a good first impression."

Xie Yu said that he didn't want Chen Nian to get involved, because Chen Nian was going to be on the show this time, and he had watched all the previous seasons.

A lot of scenes started with the pick-up, so he still wanted Master to appear in the show with the best appearance.

In the end, Chen Nian had no choice but to nod his head.

Not long after, brother Liu came to deliver food, and when the car stopped at the door, he put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray inside the car.

Roll down the car window and take a look.

"Why are there so many people in the store today?"

While chatting and laughing with everyone, he moved all the ingredients into the store, but in the process, Brother Liu also knew that Chen Nian was going to shoot a show this time.

Out of curiosity, he asked Chen Nian what program it was, but Chen Nian said that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement and he would find out after a while.

Brother Liu didn't ask too much.

"Okay, you're promising, I remember you were interviewed by a TV station before, and you were also on TV. I watched the show at the time, and after I watched it, I showed your video to my daughter and told her You can study any major you want in the university, as long as it is what you like, 360 lines, and you will be the number one.”

Unexpectedly, I became a role model: "It's great to have parents like you. My mother never cared about me since I was a child. I can learn whatever I want."

"Indeed, there is no need for children to take care of them. As adults, they just need to give some advice. As for whether to accept it or not, that is the child's business. We can't live with them forever, and life will be too tiring."

Brother Liu left after delivering the food, and they didn't ask Chen Nian to help during the whole process.

Soon they began to prepare breakfast. Chen Nian, who hadn't entered the kitchen, was just outside helping to collect money and greet guests today.

In this way until 25:[-], suddenly a commercial vehicle stopped in front of the hotel.

Seeing this, Chen Nian put down his phone and walked out.

"Master Huo?" Chen Nian asked tentatively as he looked at a middle-aged man who looked quite friendly and energetic when he got off the car.

"It's me, are you Master Chen?" Huo Fuyun smiled and nodded, then raised his hand.

"Master Huo, you can just call me Xiao Chen." Chen Nian shook hands with the other party while talking.

"Then let's go in first and have a taste of our breakfast." Chen Nian welcomed Huo Fuyun and his disciples in.

It doesn't matter if the car is parked at the door, anyway, I will drive away after a while.

Entering the store, Chen Nian arranged for the other party to sit down.

"Your place is very nice, the layout is quite reasonable, and it seems that the business is going well." Huo Fuyun looked around and said with admiration.

"It's okay, after all, it's just a family restaurant." Chen Nian said while putting the menu on the table, "Look at what you want to eat, breakfast is available now."

Huo Fuyun nodded, picked up the menu and looked at it, it was a normal Sichuan style breakfast, but there were a few more categories in the tofu nao, namely sweet, salty, spicy, and meat sauce.

Seeing this, Huo Fuyun couldn't help being taken aback: "Why does this tofu nao have so many flavors?"

"Well, actually, there are customers who come to the store from all over the world, but they are generally not used to the special tofu nao in other places, so I have some more options. Guangdong and Guangxi prefer to eat sweeter ones, but in What the north eats is salty tofu, and most people in Sichuan still like to add chili peppers in it, and some places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will eat this kind of meat sauce.”

Chen Nian explained.

"That's right. We can take into account the different tastes of these customers. In fact, adding these varieties will not add much burden to the store, but it will make the customers feel cared for." Huo Fuyun said.

I have to say that chatting with a chef like Huo Fuyun is comfortable.

"Then I'll have a bowl of sweet tofu nao, and a deep-fried dough stick." Mr. Huo ordered.

On the other side, Huo Fuyun's apprentice ordered a bowl of noodles and a basket of steamed buns.

"Master Huo, do you want white sugar in your sweet tofu? Or brown sugar with ginger juice?"

"There is ginger brown sugar too? Is it real or not!? If there is, then I want ginger brown sugar." Huo Fuyun showed a surprised expression after hearing Chen Nian's words.

"Yes, but I made it on purpose. After all, the Fu'an area of ​​Fujian eats this kind of taste. Although the method of tofu nao is a little different, the ginger brown sugar I make should be quite authentic." Chen Nian said.

In fact, he specially made some brown sugar with ginger juice, which he learned from Huang Su when he was still on the Platinum Star.

According to Huang Su, this is how they eat it. Of course, some people like to eat other things, but brown sugar with ginger juice is a unique way of eating them.

Chen Nian then told the back kitchen about the breakfast he ordered.

After ordering, Huo Fuyun began to introduce his apprentice to Chen Nian: "My apprentice is Yang Yingcai, he can be regarded as my big apprentice. He has been with me for more than seven years, and now he is also a chef at our place."

Chen Nian nodded upon hearing this, and reached out to shake hands with the other party.

"Hello, my name is Chen Nian."

"Master Chen, I've known you for a long time. I've watched every video you made with them on the Internet before." The other party also showed great respect.

After all, according to his master Huo Fuyun, Chen Nian's culinary skills can be regarded as outstanding among the younger generation.

"No, no, we will learn from each other in the future."

After Huo Fuyun introduced his apprentice, Chen Nian also planned to introduce his own situation to the other party.

After all, I have come here, and I can look around, and maybe I can find some shortcomings for myself.

"Master Huo, Brother Yang, how about I take you to the back to have a look?"

"Okay."

Anyway, there is no rush to eat, the plane will not take off until 12:30 noon.

Along the way, Chen Nian introduced his mother and Aunt Wen to Huo Fuyun.

When I came to the back kitchen, I introduced my apprentices, and at the same time introduced to my apprentices that this is the executive chef from a five-star hotel in CD City.

When the others heard it, they couldn't help but be in awe.

Especially Li Ting, he had worked in the back kitchen of a five-star hotel before, but later he felt dissatisfied with the work there, so he came out.

After arriving at Honghong Restaurant, not only the wages are now the same as at that time, but also the responsibility has increased. After all, in the kitchen, the one who cuts the meat is the one who cuts the meat, the one who cuts the vegetables is the one who cuts the vegetables, and the one who handles the fish. processing fish.

Unlike here, there are few people in the small place, and there is everything to do.

"You have quite a lot of apprentices." Huo Fuyun looked at the crowd and smiled.

"Actually, my master didn't intend to accept apprentices at all. The main reason is that we want to be master's apprentices." At this time, Xie Yu said from the side.

"That means that your master is young and promising. If I meet someone who is very powerful, I can't help but ask him for advice." Huo Fuyun is very open about this, and he didn't say that Chen Nian is so It shouldn't be something to accept so many apprentices at a young age.

Moreover, Huo Fuyun was very satisfied with Chen Nian's restaurant after walking around here: "Xiao Chen, is your restaurant always like this? Someone cleans it every day."

"Yes, because you can see the inside of the kitchen at a glance from the outside. Although most people don't go to see it, we have to keep it clean. Even if we do it every day, it doesn't take much time, so I That's how it's arranged." Chen Nian said.

"And I asked them to fill in the date on the ingredients and seasonings, so as not to take them out for everyone to use after the expiration date."

After finishing speaking, Chen Nian saw that the other party didn't have much expression fluctuations.

Later, when we chatted, I realized that this kind of operation is a basic operation on their side.

But just looking around in the kitchen for a while, Huo Fuyun found that these apprentices of Chen Nian seemed to be quite skilled.

First of all, Xie Yu's level on the Red Shore is no worse than that of his apprentices, and He Hai's skills on the white case are quite proficient. It's pretty old fashioned.

Among these few people, Li Ting surprised him the most. Li Ting's knife skills are very skilled and precise.

In contrast, Qiao Zhaomei was a little less interesting, but Chen Nian said that Qiao Zhaomei was mainly responsible for picking lotus, and did not do much in cooking.

Chen Nian thought about training Qiao Zhaomei to learn how to cook when the store can be further expanded or after recruiting people.

After visiting here, they started to have breakfast.

They are quite satisfied with the taste of breakfast, after all, there is nothing wrong with it. Although the old man didn't enter the kitchen, it was made by the apprentices who watched the inside through the glass.

However, while they were eating, Huo Fuyun still gave Chen Nian some suggestions, such as adding more decorations to the structure of the store, and making the partitions in the kitchen more obvious.

Hearing these suggestions, Chen Nian nodded. In fact, what Huo Fuyun said was also what he planned to make changes next.

But since I was leaving, I had to wait until I came back to do it.

When he was in the dream space, Chen Nian had already learned a lot about this with his master.

After breakfast like this, Chen Nian bid farewell to everyone.

"I'm going to leave for about a month this time. You guys do your best. It's still what you said before. If you have any questions, please call or send me a message."

"Don't worry, Master."

Finally, Chen Nian nodded, turned around and took his luggage into the car.

"Chen Nian, when we get to the airport, we'll go through the security check first, and we'll have something to eat before noon."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Nian said, regarding the itinerary, Chen Nian had no idea, just follow the other party.

"Also, we will go to Hangzhou for transit this time, and then we need to stay there for about a day. I will let my apprentices book the hotel later. Do you have any preference in this regard? For example, the location of the hotel or the style of decoration.”

"No, I can do it."
