Food starts with Mapo Tofu

If Chen Nian was only a cook, even if he said these words, the two of them would not be so impressed.

But now Chen Nian is not only a cook, but also a star who has participated in variety shows. He also has a lot of fans on the Internet, so he can be regarded as an Internet celebrity.

In this way, they and their daughter have a common circle.

What's more, when watching TV yesterday, Chen Nian helped promote their daughter on the show.

"Uncle and aunt, do you have any other questions?"

"Not anymore." Both An's father and An's mother shook their heads.

Chen Nian then returned to the kitchen to continue working.

After that, Gu Nanyun also ordered another red oil Chaoshou.

However, the red oil used in this bowl of red oil Chaoshou is freshly made from the old age. There is a kind of non-spicy chili in the kitchen. Usually this kind of chili is aged and added when making oily spicy peppers to increase the aroma of oily spicy peppers. of.

But now the customer has a demand, and he also has time on hand, so he made such an extra copy.

It's just that when serving it, Gu Nanyun looked at the glistening red soup in the bowl, and couldn't help wondering if she had been cheated.

Can it be spicy if it is so red?

But after she tasted it, she realized that it was really not spicy and tasted great.

"Old An, you should also try mine. The chili is not spicy at all but very fragrant. This is the first time I have eaten such a chili."

But An Pingyao pointed to his own bowl: "Mine is not spicy, but although it has a different flavor, I still think our tofu nao is better."

"That's for sure, after all, we've been eating that kind of food for decades." Gu Nanyun said.

"Indeed, but going out to play is to experience different flavors of food and see different scenery."

The two of them ate this meal very happily. On the one hand, it was because the taste of the food was really good. Although they were not used to it, they had to admit that it was delicious. On the other hand, it was because they had been exposed to Chen Nian, I am very satisfied with the performance of Chen Nian so far.

After eating, they packed another breakfast and brought it back to their daughter.

"Did your daughter come out to play together? Why didn't she come for breakfast?"

"She..." An's father and An's mother glanced at each other, "She is working in Chengdu, we are actually here to see her this time, but since we are here, we still have to go around, I just talked to my daughter yesterday Having said that, I didn't come here today because she was busy with work, and the young man went to bed late, so she is probably still sleeping now."

"It's better to be busy. If you are busy, you can make money." Feng Honghong said with a smile, "It's good, but since your daughter lives in Chengdu, can she eat spicy food?"

"It should be okay. I want another tofu nao and two fried dough sticks. I can make this one normally." Gu Nanyun said.

"Ok."

Finally, Chen Nian made another tofu nao and put it in a packing box, and handed it out to the two guests.

"Uncles and aunts, it's really nice of you to be like this. After you retire, you will start to enjoy the time and go out to travel together. In the future, I will also spend some time every year to take my girlfriend out to play and travel around."

An Pingyao immediately thought of his daughter.

Although this attitude is reassuring, he still felt a little sour for some reason: "Oh, I'm afraid you won't have much time after you get married, and when you have a child, you will have to put your heart and soul on the child." .”

Chen Nian smiled: "It doesn't matter. It will all depend on my girlfriend. She may not have children when she first gets married. After all, her career is on the rise. I fully respect her idea. When will she If I want to, I can take her out to play until then.

And even if you have a child, you can take the child out with you when the child grows up. "

Hearing this, An Pingyao recognized the old age even more in his heart, but at the same time he was even more sour. He felt a little uncomfortable that his little padded jacket would be snatched away by this man.

But seeing that Chen Nian can still say that to an outsider like himself when he doesn't know anything, it is enough to show that Chen Nian really likes red beans.

But the reason why Chen Nian said this is to let others ask what kind of job his girlfriend does, then he can proudly say that his girlfriend is a singer.

But right after saying this, the couple didn't ask, they just said "very good" and left, which made Chen Nian a little depressed.

During the break after breakfast.

"Mom, I want to ask you something. Hongdou told me a few days ago to let me meet her parents. What should I bring?"

"We usually bring some tobacco, alcohol, fruit, milk, etc. I don't know what's going on in Jiangsu, but does his father smoke and drink?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "You should be able to drink wine, but you don't smoke. I asked about this before."

"Then buy some wine and tea. Hongdou's father used to be a cadre, so he should like to drink tea. For her mother, I think she should bring some health care products. Isn't her mother a music teacher? She should pay more attention to maintenance." , I think it would be good for you to buy some donkey-hide gelatin bird's nest or something.

You can get it, and it’s all things that you can use. In addition, just buy some fruits.

Chen Nian silently wrote down these things in his heart, and if it is wine, give it to Wuliangye. Anyway, this place of production is in SC province, which is quite unique. I don’t know much about tea, so I can ask someone to ask ask.

As for bird's nest donkey-hide gelatin, it's even better.

However, Chen Nian felt that it was too vulgar to only take these for the first time, but since he wanted to send tea, it would be better to have a good tea set.

The aging soon settled these down.

Then I checked on the Internet and found that there is a relatively large tea wholesale market in Chengdu, where there are more types of tea, but then I thought that I don’t know much about tea, so even if I went there, I might not be able to buy good ones.

Thinking of this, he called Huo Fuyun again.

Master Huo should have more contact with this aspect, just ask him.

It's just that after he called Master Huo and explained his purpose, Huo Fuyun thought about it: "Tea, if you want tea, I actually have a lot of tea here, some were given to me by others, and some I brought them back from various meetings, but they are all good tea leaves. Some of them may sell for thousands of yuan or two outside. It is still very important to meet my father-in-law. If you have time, you can come to my place to pick whatever you want. , choose whichever one you want to take away.”

"Why is this so embarrassing? Master Huo, just tell me where to buy it." Chen Nian said hastily.

"It's okay, we are all friends. I can't finish drinking so much tea here. Are you free in the afternoon? If you are free, you can come over."

Hearing Huo Fuyun's firm attitude, Chen Nian finally agreed.

But when the time comes, Chen Nian doesn't plan to take other people's money for nothing, and he will pay as much as he should.

And when the time comes, Chen Nian won't pick the one that costs a few thousand yuan or two. After all, it's the first time we meet, so it's not good to just take such an expensive gift.

So Chen Nian went to the Intercontinental Hotel in the afternoon, and Huo Fuyun's apprentice greeted him from below.

When Chen Nian came to Huo Fuyun's office, he was overwhelmed by the atmosphere here!

"Good guy, such a big office is bigger than my entire store combined!" Chen Nian was shocked.

"How is it? My office?"

"Big! Really big!"

Huo Fuyun laughed when he heard this, "The highest standard of compliment among men is big! I just said this word to you, and I have to give you a box of good tea."

Then Huo Fuyun put out all the tea leaves in the cabinet and introduced them to Chen Nian one by one.

"Master Huo, I don't know which one to choose, but I want one that is not too expensive, maybe a few thousand yuan."

"Thousands of dollars, and the father-in-law you want to meet is from Suzhou...Let me think about it."

"Then you can take this Biluochun. This was given to me by a local friend. He gave me two boxes at that time. I am drinking that one now. It tastes pretty good."

Chen Nian nodded: "Then how much is this Biluochun?"

"If you want to talk about the value, it's about three to four thousand yuan. I think it's more appropriate."

"Okay, that's it." Chen Nian still believes in Huo Fuyun's taste. Huo Fuyun is also working on a self-media account now, and he often needs to change two or three sets of clothes for a dish in a video.

Speaking of Chen Nian, he was about to take out his mobile phone to transfer money, but Huo Fuyun stopped him immediately after seeing it.

"What are you doing? Let's send a gift between friends. I can't ask for your money. If you give the money, we won't meet each other."

Chen Nian scratched his head: "Then I can't take your things for nothing, no matter what, this box of tea leaves is worth 4000 yuan."

Huo Fuyun smiled: "It's okay, the big deal is that after you meet with your parents, if it goes well, just invite me to have a meal at your restaurant. I haven't had much time since I came back this time, but I have If it's empty, I really want to taste what the dishes you cook carefully look like."

"No problem!" Chen Nian immediately agreed.

At the worst, it would be great to give Master Huo a few more powerful dishes at that time. There is basically no upper limit on the price of ingredients for cooking, and 4000 yuan for two people is just the normal price in some high-end restaurants.

Now Chen Nian can not only cook home-cooked dishes, but also has a lot of understanding of some high-end dishes.

Now that everyone has made an agreement, Chen Nian can take the tea away with peace of mind.

On the way back, Chen Nian went to the pharmacy again and bought some donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. Among other things, at least the things he could buy in the pharmacy were genuine.

But even so, Chen Nian still chose among the several types of bird's nests. After all, Chen Nian majored in food, and many students went to work in pharmaceutical factories after graduation.

Then I picked a better one from those few models.

"I have to say that the packaging of these products is getting better and better now. Even the packaging of these health care products in pharmacies is gaudy. Who wouldn't be confused by this?"

After paying the money, Chen Nian walked out with these things in his hand. In fact, he also knew that the two things he bought were not that useful, although both donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest had certain medicinal properties. However, since it is called a health product here, it cannot be expected to have such a powerful effect.

Just like ordinary people will supplement nutrition by eating fruits, drinking milk, and eating eggs, so for some people with relatively better family conditions, they may add some bird's nest and the like.

Or take some skin care products for comparison. Some people feel very good after using skin care products worth tens of dollars, and the effect is also good, but some people use skin care products worth thousands of dollars, and they are also very good.

It just depends on the individual's financial situation. If you can afford it, you can buy more expensive ones. If you think it is expensive, there are hundreds of dollars or tens of dollars.

Of course, the conditions are good, but it’s okay to like to use skin care products worth tens of dollars. Even if you earn thousands of dollars a month, you can use skin care products worth thousands of dollars. This is nothing more than a different consumption concept of individuals.

The reason why the bird's nest is expensive is that it is actually a rare attribute, and it can be bought as a gift. After all, there are few people who have not bought a million-dollar sports car. What they value is its cost-effectiveness. .

Anyway, as long as you don't buy that kind of bird's nest in sugar water, it's a proper IQ tax compared with the serious bird's nest bought through formal channels.

My future mother-in-law's gift has been bought, my father-in-law's gift includes tea, and two bottles of Wuliangye for wine will be enough. The old restaurant is a restaurant, and it has cooperation with those who sell tobacco and alcohol. This is easy to say.

Other than that, only the tea set was left.

When chatting with Master Huo at the Intercontinental Hotel, Chen Nian also asked casually, and Huo Fuyun also recommended a shop to Chen Nian.

That store has both finished tea sets and can also be customized from the owner, but if it is customized, the price may be slightly more expensive.

So Chen Nian went back to put down his things, went out again, and came to the shop recommended by Master Huo.

The shop owner was very enthusiastic when he learned that Chen Nian was recommended by Huo Fuyun. After inquiring about the needs, he suggested that Chen Nian could be customized.

"How long does it take to order?"

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on your needs. If it's fast, it's two or three days, if it's slow, it's possible for a week or two or even a month."

Chen Nian thought for a while: "Then what if I do it myself?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked Chen Nian up and down: "Are you going to take samples from me and go home to make them, or do you do them here?"

"Boss, I don't have any pot-making tools at my place, so I have to do it at your side."

"If you do it here... Listen to your tone, you should have never done this business before. If you want to do it well, it will take a week or two, but if you are learning to paint or something similar In this industry, it shouldn’t take long to make an ordinary pot, about three or four days, but it’s just an ordinary pot.” The owner said.

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "What do you do for work?"

"I am a chef."

"That hand should be steady. How about this? When you are free, you can come over and try it out. If you don't feel like it, we can also choose to customize it. If the time is too late, you can buy a finished pot. I have it here. Many of them were made by myself, and I haven’t had time to sell them yet.”

When Chen Nian heard that it took three or four days, he thought that it was about the same: "Okay, then what time do you close at night?"

"In the evening, around ten o'clock, but I remember that restaurants usually get off work late, and you are a friend introduced by Lao Huo. If you need to be later, it's okay. Anyway, if you plan to do it with me, I don't care. I have to get things done for you."
