Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 829 A Busy Worker (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

"So much!" Chen Nian was shocked when he heard that, if he really wanted to talk about it, he had to be a celebrity to make money.

Now Hongdou is not even a second-tier star, but only a third-tier top star, and now he can have this net worth. Three or five songs can make so much money in just ten minutes, and he worked hard. After working hard for a week, until the last day, I may not even be able to eat, so I can earn so much.

"It's nothing to me. Just take our industry as an example. There is a female folk singer with a very special voice and style. After it became popular, the current quotation for her appearance fee is 100 million, which is also a ten-two-ten-minute period. .

However, she doesn't have a music festival to participate in every day, basically once every two or three months, but she can also go to other variety shows, and the price will not be low.

Of course, it’s just that he’s popular now, not to mention our singers, even those trainees who were relatively popular in the past few years, even if they didn’t make it to the front to debut in a group, there is no shortage of money at all.

As far as I know, there are a few scumbags, the kind of people who can't be sloppy anymore. Just one of his station sisters spent millions of dollars on him in a few months.

They buy watches, clothes, and cars, not to mention the money that has not yet been released.

There are also gifts from fans, such as brand-name bags and gold bars and brand-name shoes, which one can cost tens of thousands? "

"It's really unimaginable." Chen Nian couldn't help sighing, "Then what happened to him later?"

"We broke up later. People like them can't calm down. Those fans are just like his concubine. You can choose which one is beautiful, and you'll be fine after sleeping. And those fans still follow each other. As for the station sister who later found out that he was looking for other women outside, she broke the matter when she got angry, but this matter has not been spread yet, and it is estimated that it will be everywhere on the Internet in a while , it will probably be a popular search."

"Three views are ruined." Chen Nian couldn't help sighing.

"Yeah, so I don't want to look for people in the industry at all. People outside may think they are glamorous, but their lives behind the scenes are very chaotic. There are actually very few celebrities who can live alone, and those who do tax evasion A lot of tax evasion is just not exposed.

Didn’t the country have a tax reform some time ago? After getting the news, many people started to cancel their companies frantically. Some people even opened hundreds of companies under their names. "

"Why do you have to open so many? Is it because every company has a certain amount of tax exemption?"

"Yes." An Hongdou said, "Actually, I don't understand. Obviously, this business is already profitable enough, but if you want to engage in these things, are you really not afraid of accidents?"

"Probably want to earn more, after all, this can double their income, enough for them to take this risk."

"Well, it's very complicated anyway. I still think that I just need to make my own music and make money along with it. Although we need a loan to buy a house under our current economic conditions, even if I get a loan, I don't have to worry about paying it back. Yes, take your time and always make this house completely your own."

"That's the truth, let's not learn from them."

"Not learn."

Just like that, the two fell asleep while chatting.

The next day, An Hongdou talked about the matter with the agent, and the agent said that if An Hongdou is willing to go, it will be fine at the normal price of the commercial performance, or if everyone gets closer, the The price could be a bit cheaper.

Chen Nian also told Xue Yan about the matter.

Afterwards, Xue Yan took the initiative to contact Hongdou's manager, and quickly settled the matter. At that time, An Hongdou will sing five songs in total, and then give a discounted price of 30 yuan.

Five songs are about 10 minutes, which is actually about the same.

And in the songs, An Hongdou will sing two of her own songs, and the remaining three will be sung by others.

However, the copyrights of these three songs are also in their company, and they can be sung after coordination, without worrying about copyright infringement.

Soon it was the week before the wedding banquet.

All the ingredients for Buddha jumping over the wall at Honghong Hotel are already in place.

With the previous experience, they quickly started to help Chen Nian process various materials in their spare time in the afternoon. Since they had to prepare 150 people, Chen Nian ordered two more this time and the previous one. Exactly the same big jar.

A total of three jars started working at the same time.

Since Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has to be guarded all the time, during this week, Chen Nian will stay in the Honghong Hotel at night.

An Hongdou came to chat with Chen Nian from time to time, and sometimes brought Miao Miaowu to chat about cooking.

And during this week, through the aging process of the ingredients, the soup finally became richer and thicker, and the color became purer.

Finally, it was the night before the wedding banquet. On this night, Chen Nian directly typed a notice of business closure for a week and posted it on the door.

The official account of Honghong Hotel also announced the news that it would be closed for one day a week ago.

It's just that everyone didn't go back after get off work that night, but helped pack up all the ingredients. First, Chen Nian drove the ingredients to the hotel, and then drove back and called a moving company's truck. Sponge was laid inside, and the plate was set up with a wooden frame prepared in advance for fixing, and finally moved slowly into the compartment of the truck.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Zhaomei was asked to drive the car and lead the way to the hotel, while Chen Nian, Xie Yu, and He Hai stood guard in the car to avoid any accidents.

Fortunately, the last few trucks arrived at the hotel safely, and they asked someone to move the three big pots of Buddha jumping over the wall to the kitchen and continue to simmer with fire.

There will be a banquet at noon the next day, so they have to come over at night to start preparations.

Continue to soak the ingredients that have been soaked in advance to ensure that they can reach their best state when they are cooked the next day.

Also, the broth that needs to be boiled in advance must be boiled first.

These tasks can only be done in the professional kitchen of the hotel, otherwise, even the luxurious villa of Xue Yan's family can't prepare so many things at the same time.

Under Chen Nian's command, everyone was busy in an orderly manner, but all they had to do was the basic work of processing ingredients.

Buddha Jumping Wall is slowly working in the jar now, and there is no need to worry about it at the moment, as long as everything comes to fruition.

The next step is to cook the sea cucumber with scallions, which is more complicated. This dish will take five or six hours, but before that, they still have to cook the broth first.

Let Xie Yu be in charge of making the broth, while Chen Nian taught them how to handle the ingredients.

After the teaching was over, Chen Nian came over to cook broth for Xie Yu's class, while Xie Yu went back to cut the beef.

Although there were too many preparations this time, at a banquet of this level, the situation of only letting the guests have enough to eat would not be considered. Even some ordinary people would leave a lot of food when they hold a banquet.

Not to mention a wealthy businessman like Xue Yan.

After the broth was cooked, Chen Nian saw that the sea cucumbers were almost soaked, so he started to process the sea cucumbers again. The reason why sea cucumbers with green onions became a famous dish is because the orthodox process is very complicated.

But Chen Nian's apprentices had done it many times before, so they were also helping Chen Nian with the preparations.

Just doing this, the time has come in the morning, all the ingredients have been cut, and the table is full.

At this time, Chen Nian also began to put the dried scallops that had been soaked and removed the waistband into a bowl, poured into clear soup, and steamed in a basket.

After all the scallops were basketed, he started kneading the dough again, and will make dessert later.

After busying here and there, since last night, Chen Nian and everyone have not stopped for a moment. Although Chen Nian has regained his physical strength with the blessing of the recipe after a night here, he is still a little tired mentally Yes, not to mention the others, their eyes are bloodshot, but they know that now is the time to get serious.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the ingredients that need to be processed two or three times have all been processed, and the belly of the chicken whose bones have been removed is also stuffed with soaked scallops, squid, sea cucumbers, winter bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms and Cleaned ham, beef tendon, peas and other ingredients.

And some of the ingredients in it were also cut into [-]mm square cubes after soaking, and boiled in boiling clear soup.

Then mix them all together, add salt, rice wine, monosodium glutamate, and stir well.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Nian lifted the chicken full of ingredients and sealed the neck with chicken intestines and bamboo shoots, and the others followed suit.

"It must be fastened here, so that the ingredients inside don't come out at that time."

"Okay, Master (Boss Chen)" everyone responded one after another.

After all the chickens have their necks sealed, Chen Nian puts them batch by batch into boiling broth for scalding.

Under the action of high temperature, the chicken skin quickly tightened and turned yellow. After the surface was smooth, they were taken out and handed over to Li Ting for cleaning.

"Xie Yu, prepare two frying pans on your side, turn on the heat directly, then pour the clear soup into them, add salt and rice wine, skim off the foam on the top during the heating process, and pour the clear soup after it is cooked. Into the pot."

Xie Yu followed Chen Nian's actions, whatever seasoning Chen Nian put on his side, he would put whatever seasoning on his side.

After pouring all the clear soup into the pin pot, they put the chicken into it, and finally put the pin pot in the huge drawer and started to steam slowly.

At this point, the steamed eight-treasure bag chicken is almost done, and then you only need to wait for two hours to take it out and serve it on the table.

Next, Chen Nian began to prepare the lotus-flavored caged duck.

This dish belongs to Zhejiang cuisine. All the muscovy ducks to be used have been cleaned and cut into duck pieces that are three centimeters long and two centimeters wide. The shiitake mushrooms and lotus leaves have already been soaked.

"Xie Yu, put the sliced ​​duck, shiitake mushrooms, and carrot flower slices together, then add light soy sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, old wine, sesame oil, wet starch, peanut oil, water chestnuts, and green onions and stir well , cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer to marinate for half an hour, and then call me after it is marinated."

"Good master."

After Chen Nian taught Xie Yu how to marinate, he called Li Ting to prepare Aolong.

The meat of Aolong has been picked out in the morning. There are two ways to make this dish aged, but no matter which one, you need to mash them first to make shrimp slippery.

"Li Ting, make these shrimp meat into shrimp slips first, and call me when you're done."

"And He Hai, what about He Hai?"

"Master, I'm here." He Hai hurried over from the side.

"You are going to make those two kinds of snacks now. Remember that these two kinds are sweet and salty. I will teach you how to make a few first. Can you make them yourself later?"

"Yes, Master."

"it is good."

For aging, first take the prepared water oil skin and pastry and divide them into 150g each.

"He Hai first pressed the water-oil skin into a flat circle with his hands, then wrapped the pastry in it, and kneaded it into a ball shape. After kneading, he flattened it with his hands and rolled it with a small noodle stick to make it longer."

"Is it ready?"

"It's ready, master."

"Yeah." Chen Nian nodded, "Next you roll it up, and then flatten it with your hands, and then roll it up from the other side again, and then roll it vertically into a round sheet. Put the portioned lotus paste stuffing on the skin, first wrap them into a ball shape, and then pinch the closed end to make them thinner, about three centimeters long, this is the rabbit's body.

Then you press the long side slightly, and then cut it with a knife to a width of about one centimeter, and press the cut flat strip upwards to form the two ears of the rabbit, and then pinch the bottom to form a mouth shape.

Then you can put two red eyes on it, and finally follow my example and pinch the rabbit's tail out. "

Xie Yu followed Chen Nian step by step, and a little rabbit appeared in his hands.

"Master, is that so?"

Chen Nian looked at it: "Yes, that's it, follow the same steps in the future, remember that there must be one step in the middle of the process, you know? Don't reduce the steps in the middle just to save trouble, it won't work like that .”

So for the next nearly an hour, He Hai kept holding the rabbit.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Nian arranged for everyone to start placing fruit plates such as preserved fruits and nuts.

After everything was set, he asked the chefs to continue cutting the cold dishes, while he brought a group of waiters to the front hall.

"Wait a minute, the fruit plate will be placed here, and the rest will be scattered and opened." Chen Nian told them how and where each dish should be placed, and when everyone knew it, he told them to check each other again, and then he He went back to the kitchen and continued to work.

Now the critical moment has come for sea cucumbers with scallions. The old age once again asked them to put the sea cucumbers back into the casserole, and then they only need to simmer for another hour or so before they can wait for the pot to come out.
