Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 806 Recruiting a Female Apprentice
"Son, did you make these last night?"

After everyone came to the restaurant the next day, Feng Honghong looked at the side dishes in the refrigerator and asked curiously.

"Yeah, these things don't cost much, so I just want to make some for the guests to eat for free."

"Well, that's good. In fact, I wanted to say it before, but you are so busy in the store every day, and you have your own things to do, so you haven't said it all the time. I see that many people have these small dishes at home. Time to do it."

Chen Nian smiled: "Mom, then you should have told me earlier, anyway, you are busy every day, so it's not bad."

"Isn't this afraid of your hard work?"

"It's okay, it's not hard."

In the morning, they drank white porridge in the store, which was specially made by Chen Nian for these side dishes.

When they were in San Francisco, they always ate like this, although more often Master Qiao would make some salty porridge, sometimes with salty ribs in it, and sometimes with shrimp, fish, chicken and the like.

But occasionally they also eat white porridge, which is served with pickles. Although it looks a little crude, it feels quite good after adjusting it for aging.

"Boss, I went back yesterday and studied the video again, and then I stayed up all night to cut one out. Can you see if it works? Is there anything that needs to be modified?"

At this time, Xiaohua said while eating porridge.

"Is it ready so soon? Then send it to me."

"Ok."

Then Yu Xiaohua sent the video she made yesterday to Chen Nian's WeChat in the form of a file: "Boss, because WeChat itself has restrictions, I will send it to you in sections. , I put them together."

Listening to Yu Xiaohua's words, Chen Nian clicked on the first video the other party sent him.

It took about 5 minutes like this, and Chen Nian finished watching the videos sent by Yu Xiaohua one by one.

Although Chen Nian is not professional, the video cut by Xiaohua is relatively smooth, and the transition between each clip is also very natural.

And in this video, Xiao Hua cut out everything that should be cut out, without missing every key point, adding bgm where bgm should be added, and special effects where special effects should be added.

It doesn't look like something a novice can make at all.

In particular, he looks very handsome in the camera, which makes Chen Nian very satisfied.

"That's right, I don't have any comments, so you can post it like this when the time comes." Chen Nian was very satisfied after watching the video. Although the overall editing of the video still looks a little immature, it is already good for someone who just started doing this. Very rare.

Although Chen Nian had been on TV before, the reason why he wanted to create a video account was because of a whim, so he didn't have much expectation for Xiaohua to help him make videos.

And now Xiaohua's works are really unexpected.

When Xiaohua heard what Chen Nian said, she happily shook her head over there, her ponytail tied behind flicked, and she looked a little cute.

"Okay, then I'll send it out."

"Well, let's post it. Then you can help me answer the audience's questions. If you have any professional questions, you can ask me or others."

Xiaohua nodded vigorously, and the first work she made was recognized by Chen Nian, which made her full of motivation for a while.

"Boss, then take a look at the article I just forwarded to you. This is also what I wrote last night. I plan to post it on our own official account. Do you think it will work?"

Hearing this, Chen Nian opened the article on the official account that Xiaohua forwarded to him. From the beginning to the end, the impression was quite good.

The content is very detailed. Although the theme is still the process of cooking in old age, under Xiaohua's layout, the overall style is a bit cute now, and they are just starting to prepare short videos, but Xiaohua has already posted a lot on the official account something.

Most of them are introducing some dishes of Honghong Restaurant, and Xiaohua also specially classified the contents sent.

But after Chen Nian had read it, Xiao Hua suddenly said: "Boss, do you still lack apprentices, or do you accept female apprentices?"

"Of course." Chen Nian immediately understood what Xiao Hua wanted to express, so he nodded and said.

"Boss, do you think I can do it? Although I was not your apprentice before, you have taught me a lot, so I have thought about it after going back for a few days. If you accept female apprentices, I want to worship you." You are the teacher."

Xiao Hua looked at Chen Nian brightly while saying this, with a lot of anticipation mixed in.

"Yes, but Xiaohua, is there anything you want to learn? If you want to learn how to shoot videos, I may not be able to teach you this, because my understanding of this is only superficial. If you want to go deeper If so, I can introduce Miao Miaowu and Xiao Jing to you."

But Yu Xiaohua shook her head when she heard this: "That's not true, boss, there are many similar teachings on the Internet, as long as I spare time to read more, I just want to ask the boss, you What are the requirements for accepting apprentices?"
"A request..." Chen Nian held his head and thought for a while: "Actually, there are no special requirements. The main thing is to have a good eye. Direction of development.

Just like Xiao Xie mainly works on red cases, while Xiao Hai works on white cases, and the others also have their own development goals. "

"Brother Chen Nian, I really like cold dishes. I used to make them when I was at home."

Chen Nian actually didn't intend to reject Xiao Hua, because after all, Xiao Hua was also his old acquaintance.

When she was studying Rouge Goose Preserved, Xiao Hua had a good relationship with Chen Nian, but after being projected into reality, Xiao Hua's personality did not change much.

"Cold dishes? This is okay. It would be great if a master chef can make cold dishes. So Xiao Hua, do you want to make this?"

"Yes, I really thought about it when I went back. Although I always thought that I should learn something else to improve myself, I thought about it again. Making videos and writing articles are just my personal interests. Hobby.

No matter what I do in the future, these things can be used. I don’t have to take this route, just like you, the boss. You know so many things, but you still become a chef, so I also want to I want to know more things like you, and I can't help everyone here a lot of time. I also want to do more and share more work for the store. "

"Xiaohua, if you just want to help everyone, there is no need to do this..."

"Boss, I've really made up my mind. I want to learn how to cook cold dishes with you."

"Okay." Chen Nian nodded, "Then I'll teach you some things later, but if you really decide to take this path, you must practice hard after you go back."

"I know the boss, I will definitely work hard!" Xiao Hua clenched her fists to cheer herself up, but she seemed to realize something just after she finished speaking, "Then can I call you Master now? Just like Xie Ge and the others Same?"

"Come on, when I take a break in the afternoon, I will tell you some basic things about cold dishes."

"Okay, thank you Master!"

After eating, Yu Xiaohua jumped up and down and went to the front to start cooking braised pork.

During this period of time, she also checked on the Internet. In fact, cold dishes are not limited to simple home-cooked cucumbers, cold potato shreds and the like.

And lo mei is also a kind of cold dish.

Just like that, Chen Nian suddenly had another apprentice...

But even so old, the daily life hasn't changed much, and he can understand Xiaohua's mentality. He probably just watched other people in the store learning from him all day long. On the contrary, although she I'm also slowly working hard to make videos, but I always feel like an outsider compared to other people.

As for the cold dishes, it's probably just an excuse Xiaohua made. Chen Nian doesn't know if the other party really wants to learn this, but since it was brought up, Chen Nian doesn't mind teaching it.

As for whether she will go down this road in the future, it depends on Xiaohua's own choice.

And what I can do is to teach Xiao Hua occasionally.

But apart from this right now, Chen Nian also has to start preparing for the competition at that time.

On the surface, it seems that this is just a variety show, maybe there will be a script at that time, but after all, this is a competition between the Chinese food area representing the country and the Western food in the name of communication.

I've watched all the Chef King battles in the past. Even if some contestants are friendly, the program team will organize some moths to make this a competition-type program.

Because only in this way will the show be more interesting.

Therefore, aging must be prepared in advance.

After another period of time, more than 1000 copies of the sliced ​​noodles have been sold in the store, and there are still more than 8000 copies left to complete this task.

Moreover, Chen Nian also gave An Hongdou his birth date. The two of them had already reached the stage of discussing marriage, and these things were inevitable.

After Feng Honghong took the two people's birthdays, she went back to her hometown and asked her relatives to find a fortune teller to see if the two were suitable, and by the way, to see when it would be good for both of them to get married.

Although the old man doesn't do this, he still thinks it is better to follow the customs.

It's just that the only thing he's worried about is what if the fortune teller says that the two of them are not suitable?
But he still underestimated the professional ethics of the fortune teller, and the news came back just three days after the fortune teller got the horoscope of their birthdays.

"The birth dates of the two children are very suitable, and they can complement each other. Although they have different occupations, they can also support each other in certain aspects."

After hearing the result, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when he returned to his hometown in the future, he would have to take some gifts to see others.

The fortune teller also gave out the suitable months for marriage. The suitable months for them to get married are January and August.

Just two days after Chen Nian told An Hongdou the news, An Hongdou's parents also asked someone to help with the calculation, and the fortune teller calculated the same time.

"Then are we going to get married in August?" Chen Nian asked on the phone.

"I guess so." An Hongdou is also a little nervous now, "What should I do? It was the first time I got married since I was a child, and I didn't even play house with anyone when I was young."

"Me too. I didn't expect it to be so soon, but I'm actually looking forward to it." Chen Nian also said.

"Then are you nervous?" An Hongdou asked again.

"Nervous, I'm so nervous now, I've checked a lot of information in the past few days, and read a lot of posts posted by people on the Internet, all about various matters that should be paid attention to when getting married."

"What a coincidence, I also read it! After reading it, I felt that getting married seemed quite troublesome. I also asked my relatives, and she said that getting married is actually very tiring. She lost weight for a period of time to get married. She only eats diet meals every day, and she didn't get a good night's sleep until the day of her wedding."

"Maybe this is because I want to keep my best side in the happiest moment." Chen Nian said with a smile, "But even if you are tired, it is only a few days, and it will be fine later."

"Yes." An Hongdou nodded, but Chen Nian couldn't see it on the phone, but after nodding, An Hongdou continued: "Chen Nian, where do you think our wedding photos will be taken?"

"It depends on what you like, if you want to take pictures here, you can also find a reliable travel photographer, and I see that there are still many people who did not hire a photographer, but just bought a lot of clothes with a camera and a tripod When I went on a trip, I took wedding photos while playing."

An Hongdou thought for a while: "This seems to be very good. We will ask a retoucher to help us retouch the pictures after we finish the pictures."

"Yeah, I feel like this is very free. If we can't shoot well, we may be in trouble." Chen Nian expressed his concerns.

"It's okay, you may not understand this. I often attend some events and I have met many photographers, and I have also talked with them. In fact, the quality of a photo is related to the photographer's shooting skills and post-editing. , even if the photos are slightly unsatisfactory, but as long as they are not bad, they can repair them beautifully. Some pictures that look beautiful on the Internet are actually only the photographer's own shooting skills plus post-production retouching to achieve that. Effect."

"Hongdou, if you say so, should we try to shoot by ourselves later?"

"I think so."

After chatting with An Hongdou, Chen Nian felt more and more romantic to do so, and the photos taken in this way would not collide with other people.

At the same time, you can have unique wedding photos, and you can go to more places with Hongdou.
