Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 365 Stay away from him

Mr. Hai naturally readily agreed, although he was also a little curious about what Chen Nian was going to do, but since Chen Nian asked him to come over tomorrow, it must have something to do with food.

Probably some kind of dessert...

But after he asked curiously, Chen Nian didn't reveal anything.

However, for the time being, there are only some ideas about aging, and the specifics will have to be studied at night. He has prepared a complicated version and a simpler version.

After Hai Mingxian left, Chen Nian asked his cousin Lu Ke to go out and buy some milk, and since he bought the milk, Chen Nian went directly to the back kitchen.

Only Lu Ke was left busy outside.

But Lu Ke didn't say anything, she knew that her cousin might be up to something big again.

Originally, she had already planned to take care of the other party even if she didn't do anything, but who knew that apart from the first few days, Chen Nian got up earlier than herself every day, and went to bed earlier than herself. I am late, and apart from being busy with the things in the store every day, I am tinkering with all kinds of new things.

Marmalade, puffs...and that thing called cream that is filled inside the puffs.

And every day when I am old, I will make some sour plum soup by myself, and write something in the notebook while making it.

She also flipped through that book.

Some of the characters on it are familiar to her, and some are unfamiliar to her, and there are many circles and lines like symbols.

For some more advanced articles, she still only recognizes the words above, but doesn't understand the meaning, but in this old experiment record, she can't even recognize the words at all, let alone the symbols.

After watching it for a while, I just felt dizzy, so I quickly closed it and stopped looking.

But she didn't ask either. After all, she felt that it was something of her own, or a way for her to record it.

But Chen Nian didn't do this to deceive others or to keep others from knowing. He recorded it like this purely for his own convenience.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, those traditional characters were still used, but the old-fashioned ones used those simplified characters, as well as those Arabic numerals 12345 and English single quotation marks and double quotation marks that can be used to represent minutes and seconds, as well as g, kg, ℃, this kind.

In addition, there are symbols such as the set variables x, y, z, γ, β, and α. Although some symbols have specific meanings, they are easier to remember when used in old age, so I just use them directly. used.

So sometimes even if Chen Nian is busy tinkering with those things in the back kitchen, customers don't think there is anything wrong, after all, Chen Nian can always come up with some novelties after tinkering.

Although Chen Nian just asked Hai Mingxian to come over the next day, Lu Ke didn't think that Chen Nian did this to curry favor with the other party or help the other party to get closer to him.

In this way, Chen Nian has been working in the back kitchen until the night is quiet, the moon is high, and even the dog next door is asleep before going back to sleep.

And he has already finished the business, although this time he only made a rough outline of what he wanted to do, and made a reduced version, but he just needs to wait until tomorrow to make a new one for Mr. Hai.

The next morning, Chen Nian went outside again to buy some materials, and this time he spent a lot of money.

And after returning, Chen Nian never took a rest, nor did he help out in the shop, but was still busy back and forth in the back kitchen.

About two hours after lunch, Hai Mingxian came again. This time, before he even had time to greet him, Lu Ke pointed to the back of the yard: "My brother is behind, go find him."

It's no wonder that Lu Ke's reaction was relatively cold. It's really because I'm a bit busy today and too tired. Chen Nian didn't have time to help out in the morning. She was here alone to deal with it, making cakes, selling, and collecting. Money, weigh, pack.

Moreover, the current passenger flow is about double that of before Chen Nian. After lunch, although he had a short rest, it was not enough to sleep for an hour after being too busy, so Lu Ke was still a little dazed, but Even so, there is still something to do.

Hai Mingxian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. Lu Ke was so decisive, he could only say, "That's good."

Then he headed towards the backyard, but when he went to the backyard, he was a little happy in his heart. After all, he had been here so many times, basically he just wandered around the store to buy some snacks, and left after saying a few words. This is the first time to enter the backyard.

If I can enter the backyard this time, won't I be able to enter Lu Ke's boudoir next time?

"Sure enough, the breakthrough still has to start with my brother-in-law..."

When Hai Mingxian came to the backyard, he saw Chen Nian sitting on the steps with dark circles and bloodshot eyes as soon as he entered.

And when Chen Nian saw Hai Mingxian coming, it was like a wolf who had been hungry for three days and hadn't eaten saw a young lamb who hadn't even gotten married or had a date.

Chen Nian made this cake an hour ago, and has been sitting here waiting for Hai Mingxian to come over.

It was two or three o'clock when I went to sleep yesterday, but after two hours of sleep, Chen Nian got up again and continued to prepare materials, ran out again in the morning and came back and still didn't stop, even Lu Ke went outside for lunch Bought some for him to bring.

Therefore, now Chen Nian is supported by perseverance.

"Brother Chen, how did you become like this?" Hai Mingxian was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Chen Nian waved his hand, then stepped forward and grabbed Hai Mingxian's arm and dragged him into the kitchen...

Hai Mingxian was a little nervous at the beginning. After all, Chen Nian was tall and burly, and he pulled himself into the room when he came up, which made people a little scared, but he quickly realized that Chen Nian and him were just brothers. Became a close friend.

Could it be that my perseverance during this period of time finally moved my brother-in-law, which is why the other party made such a gesture?
At this moment, Hai Mingxian even began to wonder what kind of gift Chen Nian would give his grandfather.

"He won't give my grandfather a granddaughter-in-law, right?" Hai Mingxian suddenly had such an idea in his mind, "The boy is called Hai Linyue, and the girl is called Hai Linxi."

At this moment, he even thought of the name of the child, but unfortunately he only thought of the names of a pair of children, but if there are more children in the future, it may not be enough.

Chen Nian just pulled Hai Mingxian to the door of the kitchen. He was about to open the door, but when he turned his head and saw the other party was giggling, he seemed a little wretched.

"Isn't this guy a transfer target?"

"I heard that ancient people, especially powerful people, tended to have the habit of cutting off their sleeves. After all, they have seen all kinds of women, and when they get bored, they will focus on the same sex."

Thinking of this, Chen Nian quickly withdrew his hand.

The feeling of sleepiness in the whole person is much less.

"Master Hai, please respect yourself." Chen Nian wanted to pretend nothing happened, but he still couldn't help reminding him.

Hai Mingxian was also awakened by this sentence, with a sneer on his face, thinking that Chen Nian had seen through his thoughts, but thinking about it, it is very likely that Chen Nian planned to match him up today, but he couldn't Act too hastily so as not to leave a bad impression.

After seeing that the other party's expression returned to normal, Chen Nian sighed, and at the same time kept a certain distance from the other party, pushed the door and entered.

When Hai Mingxian saw Chen Nian's actions, he thought that Chen Nian had already started acting, that is, he deliberately kept a certain distance from himself, and then gave himself some hints and explanations later. Even if Lu Ke saw it, he didn't listen. He didn't suspect anything in his heart, in fact, he and Chen Nian had already cooperated with each other.

But the moment he stepped into the kitchen, Hai Mingxian's gaze was immediately attracted by the huge peach on the stove!
The biggest part of the peach is as big as a washbasin, and its height is as high as two-thirds of my own arm!
This made him gasp.

But at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It turned out that it wasn't the grandson's daughter-in-law.

But soon his heart was shocked by this scene, because he had never seen such a big peach!
I am afraid that there are only such gods in the legends and stories in some mythological picture books!

"Brother Chen, where did you get this?"

Because he soon realized that if this was a gift from Chen Nian to his grandfather, it would be too precious!

Every year, Fanbang will present some rare treasures and delicacies, but no matter how miraculous those things are, they are still within the ordinary category.

But this peach is obviously different.

In addition, peaches have the meaning of longevity...

"Did you see my dark circles and the redness in my eyes?" Chen Nian pointed to his eyes, "I spent a whole night of thinking about it last night, and I made it today after another day of work."

"Made it?"

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded, and then picked up a long knife, "This is a gift I made to respect my grandfather, just to express my heart, although it looks like a peach, it is actually a peach. Made of something else.

"How can it be so realistic?" Hai Mingxian obviously couldn't believe it, because it didn't look like it was made of flour. If it was made of flour, at least the outer layer looked very smooth. And the color can't be so realistic, the pink is so harmonious with the white below.

But if this thing is made of other things, he really can't think of what else can be used.

But the fact that aging can achieve this level already shows that the craftsmanship of aging is extraordinary.

This time, even if he didn't understand the reason and structure, he approved this gift from the bottom of his heart. If it was a food, he must put it in the most conspicuous position at that time!

Because the moral is really good!

Moreover, although his grandfather used to be the Minister of the Household Department, he has retired now. Although someone will certainly give some more precious jade paintings, but those are not suitable to be shown openly, otherwise it will become a target if someone is interested.

But this is different, this is a food, even if it is expensive, how expensive can it be?

And it definitely has a lot of faces when it is displayed.

Chen Nian saw that the other party kept looking left and right around the Shoutao, and when he had seen enough, he said: "Master Hai, please step back a little, there are still hidden secrets in the Shoutao."

Speaking of which, Chen Nian stretched out the knife directly, and cut directly at the middle of the birthday peach, which made Hai Mingxian feel distressed for a while.

Such a peach, which looks like a work of art, is cut open like this?
But soon after Chen Nian cut it open, he carefully pushed away one side of the cut to reveal the inside.

And Hai Mingxian also saw its internal structure. The outer layer is a white coating that looks very soft and delicate, while the inside is light yellow and looks like some kind of pastry, but the pastry is layer by layer. Yes, there are some fresh fruits mixed in the middle of each layer.

And there seemed to be some yellow-purple sticky things on those fruits.

"Master Hai looks like a longevity peach on the outside, but it's not just for display. If it's just for display, it can only be used for decoration, but if you cut it up and eat it , that means that everyone present can also be happy, after all, the blessings of old birthday stars are not always available."

Chen Nian first explained the meaning of the longevity peach, and then introduced: "Master Hai must be able to see that the layers inside are actually fruits, the yellow ones are Wangguo and yellow peaches, and the white ones White peaches are the ones, and jams are wrapped around them, and the purple ones are made of mulberries and grapes, and the yellow ones are made of peaches and pineapples."

Hearing Chen Nian's introduction, Hai Mingxian only felt that his eyes were wide open. These seemed to be some fruits that he usually saw, but at the moment he seemed to have a particularly strong appetite. Although he had already eaten at noon, but now He suddenly felt his mouth saliva again, wanting to taste the taste of this longevity peach.

Can't help swallowing, Chen Nian immediately fetched a plate when he saw this.

"Master Hai, how about I cut a piece for you, which part do you want to eat?" Chen Nian asked.

"Here." Hai Mingxian pointed to the part of the hope fruit.

Wangguo is also mango, but people usually call it this name at this time, and the output of this kind of fruit is not much at this time, most of them are tributes, even if there are folks, the price is very expensive, so it is called aged It cost money.

But Hai Mingxian chose this part because he had eaten mangoes before.

Chen Nian nodded, then cut a piece from the big birthday peach and put it on the plate.

"What's that white layer on the outside?"

"Cream." Chen Nian didn't shy away from the other party, after all, it's okay to just tell the other party a name.

"Hmm." Hai Mingxian didn't think much of it at first, after all, the word "cream" sounds quite greasy, but if you eat it with pastries and fruits inside, there shouldn't be any problem.

So he was going to have a bite of cream first, and then a cake with jam and mango inside.

But just as he took a sip of the cream, before he could wait for him to do anything, the cream melted in his mouth!
At this moment, Hai Mingxian's eyes widened!

"This……"

"This cream is so sweet!"
