Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 311 The Truth

Finally returning to Honghong Hotel, I couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in my heart. Although the decoration inside the store has been completely new, and although my Honghong Restaurant still looks a bit thin compared to those big restaurants and restaurants outside, but Chen Nian feels that only here can he feel at home.

Having lunch in the restaurant, Chen Nian plans to cook a few more dishes.

Mapo Tofu, Braised Pork, Pork Pork, Wensi Tofu Soup, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, Lettuce in Oyster Sauce, and Lettuce with Garlic.

Although he is still the chef of Chen Nian, Chen Nian also wants to see how Xie Yu has improved now, and whether he has practiced as hard every day as he said in the past month.

So Chen Nian directly handed over the braised pork and two vegetarian dishes to him to cook.

As for He Hai, since he has been following the route of the white case, mainly making pasta, and today he mainly eats rice at noon, so he went to help Chen Nian and Xie Yu process some ingredients.

The sound of tinkling in the kitchen kept ringing, accompanied by the sound of stinging and stinging, and a fire burst out from time to time, making it very lively.

And Wen Hongxia and Chen Yue also rushed over, they chatted with Feng Honghong outside, and waited for dinner by the way.

Almost an hour later, the meal was ready, and it was just at 12:30, just in time for the meal.

The food is served in various colors, colorful, just looking at it will whet the appetite.

And Chen Nian took out a big box from the back of the counter, which contained a doll, and around the doll were some skirts, hair, high-heeled shoes and paintbrush-like things.

"Yueyue, this is a gift for you."

After seeing the gift, Chen Yue's bright pupils twinkled like stars, and her little face was also flushed, with a trace of disbelief besides surprise and excitement...

"Is this for Yueyue?"

"Is it a gift given to Yue Yue every year?"

"But why do you give monthly gifts every year?"

Chen Yue asked curiously.

Chen Nian smiled faintly, stretched out his palm fondly and rubbed Chen Yue's little head, only making Chen Yue's neatly combed hair a little messy.

"That's because I wasn't here when Yueyue celebrated her birthday before, so it was a birthday gift for Yueyue."

"Thank you, Niannian!" Chen Yue said happily when she heard this.

It's just that Wen Hongxia on the side seems to be frowning: "Did I mention Yueyue's birthday?"

"I said it." When Chen Nian heard this, he thought it was over. He must have revealed his secrets. Chen Nian lived with Chen Yue in the dream for such a long time, so he naturally knew when Chen Yue's birthday was. when.

But in reality, Wen Hongxia didn't seem to have mentioned it.

But Chen Nian still insisted that Wen Hongxia had said it, and that Wen Hongxia was not confident anymore.

After a while, Feng Honghong also suddenly realized that she said that Wen Hongxia did say this, and she seemed to remember it vaguely.

"The boss is interested, and I still remember Yueyue's birthday." Wen Hongxia said gratefully.

After a few people chatted for a while, they began to sit down. Chen Yue had been to the restaurant several times before, but she had never eaten pot-packed meat in the restaurant, so Chen Nian specially added a piece of fried meat, which looked very good. The pot of meat was placed in Chen Yue's bowl.

"Yueyue, try this."

Chen Yue looked at the pot of meat in the bowl, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Is this also meat?"

"Yes, this one is fried, and it tastes sweet, crunchy, and delicious!" Chen Nian explained.

Children basically like to eat sweets, and this freshly fried food with a warm and crispy skin is even more irresistible to them.

Manipulating the chopsticks hard to pull the pot of meat in the bowl to the side of the bowl to reveal a small half, Chen Yue slowly leaned over to show her teeth and bit the pot of meat open.

The sweet and sour taste made her chew, her nose wriggling mischievously.

In her sense of taste, the sweet and sour pot-packed meat is like a stream of sweet and sour flavors lingering in her mouth, and the rhythmic sound of the crispy skin touching her teeth makes her elated.

Not to mention the tender tenderloin and the delicious gravy contained in the texture of the tenderloin.

"Good time!"

"too delicious!"

"Mom comes first, every year comes second, and Rourou comes third!"

Seeing Chen Yuetian's innocence screaming for meat, all the adults present couldn't help showing maternal smiles on their faces.

Who can resist the cuteness of such a little girl?
After eating the pot-packed meat, she turned her eyes to the red plate of braised pork with preserved vegetables. The appearance of this dish is very good, not inferior to the braised pork next door.

Moreover, the two dishes are both red, and at this moment they are placed together like two pretty beauties competing for beauty.

But after all, Chen Yue had eaten braised pork many times, so at this time, more attention was naturally on the pork with pickled vegetables.

"Can I eat it?" Chen Nian asked.

Wen Hongxia nodded: "You can take one or two slices."

After all, there are a lot of seasonings in this dish, and the taste is relatively heavy, and it is also a little greasy, which is not good for children's health, but if you are hungry, eating one or two pieces is not harmful.

Chen Nian nodded, picked a piece of pork with preserved vegetables that was relatively less fatty, and put it into Chen Yue's bowl, and then put some preserved vegetables on top.

Chen Yue naturally knew that this was because she wanted to eat another piece of meat every year, and she had been staring at this plate of preserved vegetables and pork from just now.

Now that the plump flesh was in front of her eyes, she used chopsticks to put the pickled pork into her mouth, but because her mouth was too small, she could only put it in one end.

Bite down, the juice is overflowing, the feeling brought by the rich and aromatic braised meat juice is unparalleled, compared with braised pork, the meat is more tender after being cooked, and the fat on it has been fully steamed. The stew is extremely soft, and the fat inside has already been forced out, and most of it is melted into the soup.

So after the entrance, the taste is quite good.

Chen Yue, who ate it in one bite, had her mouth full of sauce, but after taking that bite, she couldn't wait to continue to attack this piece of meat.

When the last third was left, she directly stuffed the last of these and the above vegetables into her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, like a little hamster.

And the sauce around the mouth is full of meat, it looks like a little greedy cat who has eaten dragon fruit.

Chen Nian quickly took out two pieces of paper and wiped Chen Yue's mouth.

Seeing this, Wen Hongxia kept muttering in her heart, obviously she brought Yueyue only a few times, and her daughter still had some intellectual problems, how could Chen Nian have been so enthusiastic about this child since the first time they met?
It's like... my own sister!
Of course Wen Hongxia couldn't figure this out, and not only now, but even in the future, he could only explain it by saying that his daughter was more pitiful and kind-hearted.

Except for Chen Yue, the favorite dish of these adults is still mapo tofu. Although this dish appears most frequently in their staff meals as a signature dish, it seems that this dish has never been tired of eating Same.

Obviously, I enjoyed eating this time, thinking that it doesn't matter if I don't eat for half a year.

But when the finished mapo tofu was served again, they forgot what they had thought before.

This dish is spicy and overbearing, but the taste is quite good. If you use a spoon to pour some soup on the rice, it will be a must.

Including Chen Nian himself is also extremely enjoyable.

This instinct that had been suppressed for a month was finally liberated, even the hot pot that I ate in Yangzhou before was not as enjoyable as this.

Soon this plate of mapo tofu was under the siege of the crowd, and gradually there was only soup left, and the last soup was also aged and moved, all poured into a bowl and mixed with rice.

Although Xie Yu, He Hai and others have been in Sichuan all the time, they don't eat Sichuan cuisine every day, let alone the dishes cooked by Chen Nian himself.

Therefore, after eating this meal, it was also very satisfying. After drinking and eating, all of them had round stomachs.

"I have to say that the dishes made by the boss are the best. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Now think about the dishes I made at home this month. What are they?" He Hai touched his belly full It is said in admiration.

"Yes, logically speaking, I have been a chef much longer than Master, but I am far behind in terms of talent. Although Master is only one year older than me, I call Master willingly. "Xie Yu also revealed his true feelings.

Chen Nian was a little embarrassed to hear that, his face blushed and he quickly waved his hands to say no, no, no.

After resting for a while, He Hai and Wen Hongxia went to clean up the kitchen, while Chen Nian stayed outside to play with Yueyue.

There was no barrier between the two of them, and their relationship was as close as that of Chen Yue and Wen Hongxia.

But this also made Chen Nian have some doubts in his heart, what is the existence of dreams and reality?
Why do people in dreams appear in reality?
Although the appearance of the recipe is enough fantasy, but Chen Nian still can't understand that the people in the dream will appear in reality.

It would be a bit too far-fetched to simply interpret it as the creation of the recipe in order not to leave so many regrets.

At this moment, the recipe that had been in his mind seemed to have an insight into the thoughts in Chen Nian's mind. The recipe that had always been explained without explanation suddenly uttered a voice to answer the questions that Chen Nian had been troubled in his heart for a long time.

"They are originally from this world, it's just that Recipe knows that you will meet by chance in the future, so he made them appear in the dream ahead of time."

Chen Nian was startled when he heard this, of course he knew that the recipe was answering for him, but he had never thought about the answer.

Whether it's Xie Yu, He Hai, or He Sen who was an undercover agent in his store before, or Wen Hongxia and Chen Yue who are currently in the store, they are all real people. So it will appear in the dream, because the recipe knows that it will have a connection with them, so put them in the recipe in advance!
In this way, although it is still very mysterious, all the doubts in my heart can be explained.

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous to create a person out of thin air in this world, and this person has a complete identity background and various character relationships.

It turns out they exist by themselves.

But in this way...

Chen Nian thought of a new problem. When he was in the dream, the dog recipe did not appear like this.

At that time, the meaning of this dog recipe was to look at myself pitifully, worrying that I was thinking too much, and fearing that they would not have a good ending, so I projected them into reality.

At that time, Chen Nian still thought that this recipe was very good and very humane.

After arguing for a long time, it turned out that they existed by themselves.

At this time, the recipe also sensed the complaints in Chen Nian's heart. It didn't explain too much, but just showed a big expression on the cover of the recipe.

Looking at old age is full of confusion...

"You stick out your wooly tongue! Do you think you're cute like this? You're consuming the host's feelings!"

But the previous answer of the recipe has already done its best, and did not pay attention to the complaints and complaints after the old age.

Afterwards, Wen Hongxia took Chen Yue home again, and they went back to pack up their things before sending Chen Yue to school. When they left, although Chen Yue was reluctant to part with her, she waved to Chen Nian firmly and said: Bye bye.

"Boss, shall we open tomorrow?"

"Yes, it will open tomorrow." Chen Nian nodded. He expected that more people would come to his restaurant to eat at that time. Although it was very busy, the number of meals served would also increase greatly.

And the dish I learned in the last dream was pickled pork with pickled vegetables, so I added this dish to it after the old age.

However, due to the fact that I had successfully made rouge goose breast in advance, I can no longer see what the next dish is going to be, but even if it is so old, I know that this dish can be opened after [-] copies are sold. Dreamland for the next dish.

So aging has a new goal.

As for the other dishes he has learned, Chen Nian plans to add a new dish every once in a while in the days to come, so as to keep the freshness of the customers.

This is the same as the game is updated every month or every half month, adding some new gameplay skins.

When I think of aging here, I can't help but sigh that I am really a marketing genius!

But since Chen Nian plans to participate in the chef competition, he has to think about what kind of dishes he will make then.

There is less than half a month left, so no matter what, I should plan ahead.

In the evening, after Chen Nian had eaten at home, another person came to Honghong Restaurant, opened the door, opened the pot, and took out the ingredients he bought in the morning...

After the renovation and expansion of Honghong Restaurant, the first person in Chen Nian's mind was his father.

And Chen Nian came to Honghong Restaurant at night just to recreate the dish he made during the third competition with his father.

That dish does not belong to any known cuisine, because it is a family of its own.

The name of this cuisine faction is:

【Greek Cuisine】
