Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 630 Eating out (seeking a monthly pass)
In the afternoon, they agreed to go to shop together, that is, to study in some local restaurants.

After packing everything up, we set off.

There is a certain difference between their mood now and when they first came, but there are a few people in the team who watch it very much. Feelings.

No matter whether it’s producing program effects in the middle, making jokes, or speculating on CP according to the requirements of the program group, anyway, it won’t have much impact on the star himself, and it can increase a certain amount later. The popularity, and as the program group disbanded in the future, everyone gradually forgot about it.

In short, what people think about is actually controlled by the official of the program group. If the official wants the audience to think in this way, he will make corresponding edits and buy hot searches on similar topics.

Even if some fans are fully aware that this is a show created by the program group, more people will be willing to follow the official guidance to think.

In fact, Chen Nian planned to devote himself wholeheartedly to it at the beginning. After everyone chatted in the room for a while and left in the afternoon, Hong Dou told Chen Nian not to put himself too deeply.

Maybe you can make a few friends on these shows, but if the show crew and the director make routines, even celebrities can't stand it.

What's more, if Huang Daan is appointed as the store manager this season, it is obvious that he will do some small tricks.

So what Chen Nian thinks now is that he only needs to complete his work, contribute the shots that should be contributed, and cook the dishes that should be cooked.

Huang Daan walked in the front, Qin Xiaoqing walked in the second position, and after that, two young people, Yang Xue and Wang Shuaikai, were chatting.

In the end, it was Chen Nian and Huo Fuyun. After all, they were chefs, so they had a lot to talk about.

Chen Nian was very curious. Before that, Master Huo was able to come up with a method of combining Chinese and Western methods such as coffee tenderloin.

"Actually, some people may not be able to take over many ingredients in our place, but it will be much better if you take them out, just like in the United States, when you go to eat in most Chinese restaurants, what you eat is not the taste of our country. This is Do as the Romans do, even after KFC enters China, it has to follow the Chinese custom, isn’t soy milk fritters and so on also out?”

Chen Nian couldn't help nodding when he heard this: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember that I read a joke before. A person went to KFC and insisted on ordering McDonald's, and after the other party made it clear that they were KFC, he said that he wanted two cans of beer. , and now KFC really started selling beer.”

"So, although the people here are completely acceptable to sweets, and even quite like eating sweets, but just in that case, there is not much innovation, and we always have to mess up when we shoot shows. It's weird.

Although coffee is rarely used for cooking in our country, there are still some Western dishes in foreign countries. I just combine it with our sweet and sour pork.

But the taste is still surprisingly good, and let me tell you... Actually, I had already thought about this dish before I came here, otherwise I would make it as soon as I came up, and if the car overturned, wouldn't it be miserable? "

Master Huo deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, and whispered in Chen Nian's ear.

Chen Nian suddenly realized.

After strolling outside for a while and enjoying a quiet afternoon, they decided to go to an Italian restaurant with the highest praise in the area.

Arrived at the restaurant around 7:30, but when they sat down, there were only two tables with them.

"There are so few people here." Yang Xue looked at it and said.

Among the people present, Chen Nian is quite familiar with Italian customs. After all, the relationship between him and Tonio was not so good: "It is actually like this in Italy, and the rhythm here is also very slow. Usually their dinner will be slow. It's later, so I think our restaurant's business hours can also be changed a little bit."

Huang Daan listened and thought for a while: "Indeed, I also discovered this problem, how about we change our business hours at noon to 12:30 to 02:30, and in the afternoon to [-]:[-] to [-] point."

Everyone nodded after listening to it. Although the delay of the evening business hours to nine o'clock would affect their sleep, but after thinking that the program group also paid a lot of remuneration, they finally agreed.

Soon it was time to order.

"I think that since we came out this time to learn from others, let's learn about our respective division of labor, let Chef Huo order, and then he will cook whatever dishes we want, and we will go and learn Others, such as the etiquette for receiving guests, such as the way these things are placed on the table."

Qin Xiaoqing said suddenly, but Huang Daan was just about to reach out to get the menu at this time, he paused for a moment when he heard this, and then pretended to take the menu very naturally and handed it to Huo Fuyun.

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little dark.

If there is anyone who can take on the important role of store manager Huang now, it must be Miss Xiaoqing.

Huo Fuyun wasn't too polite either. When he got the menu, he just ordered it out of the box, and even ordered a Boston lobster.

Although these dishes are not considered the most high-end dishes in the restaurant managed by Master Huo, at least you don't have to pay for them yourself, you just order them anyway.

Otherwise, Chen Nian would not be able to think of any connection between Boston lobster and their study, after all, their restaurant does not have dishes of this size to serve...

But Chen Nian knows all this, and if he can think about it in his heart, if other people dare to ask questions, let alone Master Huo, even Chen Nian can tell him why he ordered this lobster for a long time.

When it comes to filming, aging may not be much to say, but when it comes to cooking, it is too easy to fool these laymen.

Soon the dishes came and they began to eat.

While eating Chen Nian and Huo Fuyun, he began to make reviews on the side.

But most of the time it was Huo Fuyun who was asking, and Chen Lai was answering, the magnetic field of the exclusive chef between the two was still very tacit.

"Master Chen, how do you see this dessert?"

"This should be the kind we have seen in the Michelin three-star restaurant before. The tomato juice is layered to extract this transparent liquid. Although it does not have the red color of tomatoes, it tastes completely like tomatoes. taste, and there are two drops of green Basil oil in it, and it was a little sweet when I drank it just now, it should be to enhance the flavor."

After talking about Chen Nian, he looked at Master Huo again: "Master Huo, am I right?"

"That's right, in fact, many of these foreign dishes are now made with technology. According to their words, it is to pay attention to the taste of the food itself. Look at the drink we ordered. To be honest, there is basically no What other things, but such cooking methods are actually rare in our country. This is the difference in our philosophy. Although many dishes pay attention to the original taste of the ingredients, this original taste is different from the original taste. "Huo Fuyun explained.

At this time, Yang Xue asked curiously: "Then our country is not all that kind of traditional cooking method?"

"That's not true. Many dishes at our state banquet now use this technology. For example, sometimes when we need to make some minced chicken and fish mince for cooking, we will use a wall breaker, even at the state banquet. Do it." Master Huo explained.

After talking about Chen Nian, he continued: "Yes, fish meat and shrimp meat may be better, but if it is to make minced chicken, the chefs in the past used two kitchen knives to start chopping. Two hours, even for some quick hands, will take 10 minutes longer."

After listening to it, everyone expressed that they had learned it.

Afterwards, Chen Nian commented on two more dishes. Most of the dishes were well prepared. There were one or two dishes that were not as satisfactory. There must be some brand premium ingredients in the restaurant, but if the chef is careful, he can actually do better.

At this time, Huang Dayan suddenly said: "Master Chen, don't you cook Chinese food? Why do you say that these Western food are not good? I feel good after eating it!"

Hearing that Huang Daan took the initiative to bump into the gun, and doubted his professionalism, Chen Nian also became energetic. After all, this was one of the few times when he could piss off the other party.

"Although one is Chinese food and the other is Western food, there are still many similarities in cooking. Although my home is only a small restaurant, I also know many very good chefs. Some cook Chinese food, and some cook Western food, and this is our professional thing. Ordinary diners may just eat it to see if the plate is good-looking, but when the chef eats it, he will subconsciously think about each ingredient in it. How to deal with it.

Some things are not in place if the heat is not in place, and if the seasoning is not in place, it is not in place. "

It was the first time Huang Daan heard Chen Nian talking to himself like this, and he was obviously not happy for a while.

"Master Chen, I didn't expect you to know so much about Western food?"

"It doesn't count as understanding, it can only be regarded as a little understanding." Chen Nian said with a smile.

"Then do you have western food in your store?"

"Of course not, but if you want to eat, I can make it for you, whether it's Italian or French in Western food."

"However, there are so many cuisines in our country, and it is already very remarkable to be able to cook one well. If you know a little bit of everything, wouldn't you be able to learn miscellaneous but not perfect?"

Seeing Huang Daan say such layman's words, Chen Nian couldn't help sighing: "Master Huang, this is you as a layman. It is indeed a skill for a chef to perfect a cuisine, but he wants to do his best. , it is definitely impossible to only do one cuisine. Take Master Huo as an example. Although he is from Fujian, he can not only cook Fujian cuisine well, but also Cantonese cuisine. Chief executive, isn't the Sichuan cuisine we cook in the store all made by Master Huo? No matter where you get it, it is definitely top-notch.

Manager Huang, what you mentioned may be the family-inherited craftsmanship or the chef himself is a top master of a certain cuisine, so most of the dishes displayed to the public are naturally the dishes of their cuisine.

But if you ask them to cook other cuisines, they can do it at their fingertips, even if they are cooking Western food, there is no problem. "

Chen Nian's series of words directly reached the point where Huang Dayan was speechless.

"Okay, then I really want to try the Western food cooked by Master Chen later on."

Chen Nian said so much just now, so naturally he couldn't be too aggressive. Hearing what Huang Dayan said, he also said: "No problem, it's my honor to be able to cook for Manager Huang. If you go out, you can play for a lifetime."

In this way, the atmosphere calmed down a little again, and other people started to chime in again, and the topic soon moved to other places.

But while chatting, Huang Daan suddenly said that he wanted to make a set meal. After all, the speed of serving food today was really slow, and some customers had to wait for a long time.

So they didn't object at all, and Master Huo will come out with a menu first, and we can discuss it tomorrow.

After eating, everyone paid the bill, and the meal cost more than 300 euros. Everyone, including Chen Nian, exclaimed that the price was so expensive.

But in fact, this is just a show for the camera.

Especially Chen Nian and Master Huo were calm on the surface, but secretly happy in their hearts, they didn't need to spend their own money anyway.

And after eating so much in one meal, it is estimated that at least half of that lobster was killed.

But you eat and you eat, and you still have to pay for it.

There was nothing else to do when I went back at night. Chen Nian played with his mobile phone for a while, chatted with Master Huo for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next day I got up early at 05:30 to go for a run, but Master Huo said yesterday that I would wait for him today, so Chen Nian waited another 10 minutes.

Chen Nian ran eight kilometers back and forth yesterday, feeling pretty good, and plans to run again today.

The two went out and started exercising like this.

As a result, after running for about two kilometers, Master Huo said that he was a little tired, and asked Chen Nian to continue running, and he was waiting here.

So Chen Nian ran another two kilometers before turning back and running back with Master Huo.

When they got back they went to take a shower again.

When he came to the restaurant again, Master Huo directly took out the menu he probably ordered yesterday and gave it to Chen Nian: "Please help me to see if there is any problem with this menu? I'm afraid that Huang Dayan will choose this and that again. bug."

"Master Huo, you can order this thing. It's okay if you let me cook. You are better at this kind of set meal." Chen Nian said with a smile.

As a result, Huo Fuyun could not help but push the menu to Chen Nian after hearing this: "What are you pretending to do with me? Now that there is no camera to shoot, can I still not see if a person is capable? Although I am here with you When I was young, I was about to be an executive chef, but I have been learning to cook since I was 16, and I have been cooking for a lot longer than you.

Based on your current level, you may be able to become an executive chef in two to three years. "

"Master Huo praised me too much, I still have a lot to learn." Chen Nian said modestly.

In this way, Chen Nian heard someone wake up after eight o'clock, so he got up to make breakfast.

Originally Master Huo wanted to do it, but Chen Nian said: "Master Huo, you are still busy at noon, so let me do these things, if you do everything, you will be exhausted. "

Huo Fuyun looked at Chen Nian with satisfaction: "Actually, I have already made such a plan from the beginning. If everyone except me is a star this time, I guess I will be very busy, because I don't trust them for many dishes. Let’s do it. Most of them have never been in the kitchen, and they may not be able to tell the difference between shallots and garlic sprouts.

But having you has really helped me a lot. After I go back this time, I must thank you well. "

"Hey, what is Master Huo talking about? I came this time with the purpose of learning from you. If you have anything to do, just arrange for me to do it."

"Aren't you here to make money?"

"Hahahaha, you have to learn to make money." Chen Nian said with an awkward yet polite smile.

Just as they were preparing for dinner in the morning, Huang Daan stepped aside, picked up a task card from the bar, and came to the dining table.

"Look, we have a new mission card again."

Chen Nian said in his heart that I watched the director put this thing on the bar in the morning, and everyone has already seen the content on it just now.

It is worthy of being the leader Huang who rewards himself with a domineering president for acting in a good movie, at least sometimes his acting skills are still online.

Although sometimes Huang Dayan feels quite annoying, but I have to say that he still has some good movies. If Chen Nian can tell, he can also name a few favorite movies starring Huang Dayan.

At that time, if people didn't have any skills, they couldn't get ahead. It's not like now...even if it's a cat or a dog, as long as they have the capital to support them, they can make bad money.

"You will welcome a new member today..."

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel refreshed, is there really a newcomer coming?That would be great, it would be easier for him to at least work in the kitchen or in the dining room with another person.

"Brother An, who is here this time?"

"I don't know. It's not written on it. In short, it's a mysterious new member, but this is good news for us."

"really."

Chen Nian felt that Huang Dayan definitely knew about it, but he didn't specify who it was in the screenplay for himself. He wanted to bring some effect to the show. After all, the actors' acting skills were online, but he was not sure.

In this way, after they had breakfast and packed up, they began to sit together and prepare to start discussing what they said about the menu yesterday.

It's just that Huang Daan took a look at the menu prepared by Master Huo, and then frowned...
