Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 880 I invite you! (Add 210 for the leader of the cooking boss)

It was getting dark on the way back.

An Hongdou sat in the back row, and Wei Liang sat in the co-pilot and chatted with them.

"What do you two do? Today's young people like to come out to play, but they have to go to work to make money. They usually come out after resigning, especially when they go to Tibet. It’s said that it will take several days on the road, even if you go there, you will have to play for a long time.”

While driving, Chen Nian said, "Uncle, I'm a chef. I cook."

Hongdou smiled: "I'm for dinner."

"Haha." Wei Liang laughed loudly: "Then the two of you are a perfect match, one cooks and the other eats, it's just a good pair."

An Hongdou also lay on the back of Chen Nian's side: "Uncle just kidding, I sing, so it's a freelance job."

"Singer? Music teacher? No, you are a freelancer. Are you a singer? A star?"

An Hongdou curled up the hair on her sideburns: "It's not a star, but an ordinary singer who barely makes ends meet."

"Then what songs have you released?"

At this time, Chen Nian pointed to the screen in front of the car: "Uncle, what is sung in it now is Hongdou's song."

"This is it? I was thinking about who sang so beautifully just now. It turned out to be you. Not bad, not bad. You can sing so beautifully. You are much better than my son."

"Uncle, what does your son do?"

"He is engaged in scientific research, but he says it is scientific research, but he actually works in the factory. He is extremely busy every day. Although he is also in BJ, he doesn't come back once a month. He makes drinks and formulates there all day long. "

As soon as he hears the drink, Chen Nian instantly regains his spirit!
"Uncle, does your son study food?"

"Well, from the Agricultural University, he originally wanted to study something else, but he was transferred."

Chen Nian smiled: "Isn't this a coincidence? Uncle, I am also from the food department of the Agricultural University. Your son might be my senior brother!"

"Fuck, is it true?"

"If it's true, I just graduated for a year or two, but I didn't work in a factory, so I went home and opened a restaurant."

"Haha, what a coincidence, we are really destined!"

"That's right." Chen Nian nodded.

Afterwards, they chatted about their careers again.

And they also learned that Uncle Wei used to be a cadre of a state-owned enterprise, but he retired seven years ago. His pension is more than 1 yuan per month, and his son has no children now, so he simply spends it by himself.

They arrived at Xinduqiao around eight o'clock in the evening.

Wei Liang called the others and went to the restaurant together.

"Several uncles and aunts, it is fate that we met today, and Uncle Wei also took photos for us for a day, so let me invite you for today's meal."

"How about that? You have a lot of places to spend money when you come out to play. How about saving money and spending it elsewhere? We all receive pensions and have no place to spend. You can eat whatever you want."

"Haha, that won't work. Uncles and aunts give me a chance. It's just a meal. I really want to invite you."

These uncles and aunts are old fried dough sticks, and they didn't say anything.

But I thought in my heart that I would wait for an excuse to go to the toilet and pay the bill.

This is a Tibetan restaurant they ate.

A few uncles and aunts came from BJ. Before taking a break in Chengdu, they drove directly towards Xindu Bridge, and happened to meet them on the way.

They have only eaten Sichuan food, but not Tibetan food.

They originally planned to eat Tibetan food in Kangding, but due to a temporary change of schedule, they didn't eat it either.

After everyone ordered one dish, Chen Nian got the menu and added two more dishes.

"Uncle, this is the yak yogurt made by the boss himself."

Chen Nian warmly greeted everyone, and did not forget to make arrangements for Hongdou during the process.

After all, when he is away from home, his fiancée has to take good care of him.

After eating, several people nodded.

"Xiao Chen, how do you feel about this? You should know better than us as a chef."

Chen Nian took another sip: "This yak yogurt has a strong flavor and looks the same as old yogurt, but it tastes smoother and has a stronger milk flavor, because yaks grow on the plateau and the conditions are different from ordinary cows. , growing in such a place also makes it richer in nutrition and more mellow in taste, but the way I eat it feels similar to ordinary yogurt, which is fermented with milk and lactic acid bacteria."

After finishing speaking, Wei Liang was a little proud.

"Xiao Chen is a talented student who graduated from the Agricultural University. We all chatted in the car. He scored 650 points in the college entrance examination!"

"Agricultural University? Which Agricultural University?"

"That must be our Agricultural University, which is the same school and major as my son."

"No wonder, college students know a lot!"

After a while, the yogurt was finished, and the second course was served.

If you eat Tibetan food here, you must try their hand-caught beef.

"This beef tastes like yak meat, and the meat feels very fresh. The part used should be beef ribs, but their characteristics are mainly reflected in the seasoning and eating method. They should use spring water when making it. , Spring water and ordinary water are different when cooking ingredients. First cut the beef and cook it in boiling mountain spring water. Spices such as Tibetan fennel are also added in it, so it looks white on the surface now. mouth, but in fact there is already a lot of bottom flavor in it.”

"The other thing is that when eating, it's best to use your hands. After all, this meat is called hand-grasped beef. You can eat it while cutting it with a knife. It tastes like the aroma of the beef itself. The seasonings added It plays an auxiliary role, and the purpose is to make the beef more delicious, or to eat it with the seasoning they match."

After Chen Nian finished speaking, the others had already started to take action.

"I don't feel any particularly strong smell, although there is, but only a little bit." Wei Liang's wife said.

"Yes, that's because they added those spices."

But at this time, Wei Liang asked again: "By the way, Xiao Chen, aren't you a chef? Then can you teach us how to make beef soft and tender? We usually make it at home by ourselves, and it will get old in no time. We all As I get older, the gaps between my teeth will be full after eating beef, and I will be tired after eating."

Chen Nian thought for a while: "Uncle, there is a saying in our business called mutton radish beef tea, pork simmered with hawthorn, which means that when stewing meat, you should blanch it first. It is said that a lot of beef bought in the vegetable market in the city has been frozen. First, add some green onion, ginger, pepper, and cooking wine to cook in a cold water pot. While cooking, skim the blood foam on it. Time, put it in a casserole and slowly add some ingredients to stew, if you want to eat it earlier, use a pressure cooker to press it.

After pressing, put it into the casserole to stew, but the salt must be put at the end, and putting the salt too early will easily make the beef old.

In addition, in addition to the spices specially used for stewing beef, you can also add some black tea as I mentioned above. Black tea can enhance the flavor and aroma, and can also make the beef soft and rotten faster, or you can add some hawthorn to the beef. Because the fruit acid in hawthorn can destroy part of the beef fiber inside. "

"understood!"

"Xiao Chen, you are really amazing!"

"We've been cooking all our lives without you being able to understand it." Another uncle said with admiration.

But Wei Liang curled his lips: "He eats this bowl of rice, and he owns a restaurant. If you don't have two brushes, then don't do it at all. A cook must be much better than us ordinary people. "

Speaking of which, the old man also became interested.

"Xiao Chen, do you run a restaurant? Just in Chengdu?"

"Yes, my family's restaurant is in Chengdu. It's called Honghong Restaurant. It's just a small restaurant with a small scale. It's just that I like to think about cooking. When my uncles and aunts go to Chengdu again, they can come to my restaurant. Sit there, I treat you."

But just as Chen Nian finished speaking, Wei Liang's wife suddenly asked with a mobile phone.

"Xiao Chen, what did you say your restaurant is called?"

"Red Hotel."

"Red in red?"

"Yes, Honghong is my mother's name."

At this time, the aunt showed a strange look.

"After I came back in the afternoon, I posted the video of you on the Internet."

"In the past, I posted a video with a maximum of three to five thousand views, but this time it only took one afternoon, and there were 10,000+ views."

"And the comment section is all about you two."

"They also mentioned Honghong Restaurant." The aunt opened the comment section to show the two, "Are you two famous on the Internet? Why do I feel that they all know you?"

Chen Nian smiled: "Because people often visit our store, and they will probably remember my appearance after a long time."

"I didn't see it, Xiao Chen, you are still an Internet celebrity."

"Uncle, don't make fun of me. I'm just an ordinary person, whether I'm an internet celebrity or not."

"Haha, well said, actually I don't like internet celebrities, it sounds like a curse."

"Who says it's not." Chen Nian nodded, "But sometimes it's for making money, it's not shabby."

"Transparent!"

While talking, the second dish was also served.

The second dish is the beef patty, which is baked golden and crispy on the outside, and the inside is a mix of beef and onion. The beef patty is not so juicy, but the main feature of this cake is a dry fragrance.

Including the beef inside are small particles one by one.

It's a bit like the state of beef being fried in a frying pan after it's chopped into stuffing.

But it is such a simple method, which also makes the aging feel very novel, and there is a layer of sesame seeds on the outside of the dough.

Whether it is beef or noodles, it tastes delicious.

But the combination of the two is not as simple as one plus one equals two. The combination of noodles and meat is a pleasant combination.

Carbohydrates and meat, this is a wonderful combination.

The pie was a bit big even after cutting it open, but each piece was gone.

Then came the third dish of shredded beef.

Although the name is only one word different from the hand-caught beef, the method is completely different. The hand-caught beef is stewed, but the shredded beef is fried, and then fried with condiments such as pepper and garlic. Then add seasoning to taste.

The shredded beef tastes a bit like beef jerky, and the taste is stronger than the hand-caught beef.

Spicy taste, very good with food and wine.

That is to say, the uncle will drive after a while, and the aunt can't drive, so they can't drink.

Otherwise, Chen Nian must have a good drink with these old men and women who are sympathetic.

It's just that everyone didn't drink it, so they ordered butter tea to drink.

But Chen Nian and An Hongdou were already used to the taste of butter tea, and the elders and aunts were not used to it, so they frowned and drank it.

"This stuff is worse than soybean juice." Wei Liang said.

"Uncle, do you like to drink soybean juice?" An Hongdou asked with a smile.

"I love to drink. I have to drink a bowl every morning. I just don't like soybean juice at first, but after I get used to it, I feel delicious."

"The next time you two come to BJ to contact me, I'll take you to drink."

After finishing the previous dishes, the tomato and beef soup, which is a must for dinner here, is served.

The tomato soup is very rich, the color is full and bright, the texture is thick, and the beef inside is also very large. The stewed beef is extremely soft and rotten. Bite down, the beef aroma and the tomato aroma with a unique sour taste seem to be achieved. Some kind of agreement, playing a delicious symphony in the mouth together.

In this way, one dish after another was served.

They found that people here also love potatoes, but they call potatoes potatoes.

And they especially love potato lumps.

Halfway through the meal, the uncles were already a little ready to move, and exchanged glances with each other.

Chen Nian took advantage of this time to order another pot of buttered tea under the pretext of going out, and went directly to the counter to pay the bill.

After that, he pretended nothing happened and went back to the box.

After eating and drinking well, the uncle found out that the bill here has been settled.

Inevitably, there was another burst of complaints.

Chen Nian was just pretending to be stupid over there.

After paying the bill and going outside, they bid farewell to each other.

Because the hotel booked before the old age was not the same hotel as Wei Liang.

And tomorrow Wei Liang and the others will continue to head towards XZ, while Chen Nian An Hongdou plans to stay here and go to the Lavender Manor to take pictures early tomorrow morning.

After all, according to the original plan, I was going to go this afternoon, but it took an extra afternoon because I passed by Honghaizi.

Now the next itinerary will continue to be postponed.

Back to the hotel.

"Chen Nian, it's great to come out to play. I can meet a lot of interesting people. The grandmother at the breakfast shop in the morning and Uncle Wei just now. Although we didn't know each other before, everyone is very enthusiastic and helpful."

"Yes, there are still many good people in this world." Chen Nian said with a smile.

Afterwards, Chen Nian exported all the photos in the camera to the mobile hard disk with the computer, and Hongdou edited the videos they took during the day on the mobile phone.

After Chen Nian exported it, I searched for the aunt's screen name on the Internet.

I clicked in and saw that they were the first ones to take pictures.

Weier sama: "Isn't it? I read it right, right? Isn't this Boss Chen and Hongdou from Honghong Hotel? Why did they go to the west of Sichuan?"

It's Yu Fanna: "The aunt who took the photo seems to say that they are taking wedding photos. In other words, they are getting married? And then met enthusiastic passers-by to help them take wedding photos?"

Flower Turtle: "Wow, it's so romantic! It's an instant trip, and it's a wedding photo just for two people to commemorate. When I get married in the future, I want to take pictures like this!"

Water-soluble assassin: "Boss Chen's ten-year-old fan came here uninvited! The front row sends sincere blessings! I also thank this uncle for being willing to take pictures of Boss Chen and Hongdou."

Dry rice and idiot: "Not much to say, I have charged this video 1000 shakes +, I hope more people can see it."
