Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 415 Xiao Long Bao Listed

"Boss, are there buns in the shop?" Jiang Xia was the one who came, and asked in surprise after seeing the steaming steamer in the kitchen.

After he decided to buy a house in Chengdu earlier, he asked his friends to inquire about it. As for the location, there is no need for a particularly good place. After all, the houses in those places are too expensive, and for Jiang Xia, he only plans to come here every year. Only for a few months.

So after thinking about it, I feel that it is better to be near the Honghong Hotel. It is very convenient to eat and wear around here, and the various supporting facilities are relatively complete.
It's just that there haven't been any good houses these days, and Jiang Xia has been living in the hotel.

But Jiang Xia has a good habit of getting up early every day to exercise.

Now I'm going to have some breakfast after just running.

"Yeah, it just started selling today, do you want some?" Feng Honghong asked with a smile after seeing Jiang Xia.

"Auntie, what kind of fillings are there in Xiaolongbao?" Jiang Xia asked casually when she saw that the sign only said Xiaolongbao, not any fillings.

"It's just pork stuffing, there's nothing else for now." Feng Honghong replied bluntly.

"Okay, let's have a cage, and a bowl of tofu nao." Jiang Xia nodded and began to order.

"OK, wait."

Generally, there are not too many guests for breakfast, so there is no need to write it down in a notebook. Anyway, these are all ready-made, and guests can serve whatever they order.

"By the way, what flavor do you want tofu nao?" Feng Honghong poked her head out again and asked.

"Just follow the taste of Sichuan, I don't choose too much."

"okay."

Not long after, a steaming basket of steamed buns and a bowl of tofu nao topped with red oil and spicy peppers were brought out.

The white and tender tofu nao paired with the freshly made red oil and spicy peppers made Jiang Xia's saliva secrete crazily. He seemed to feel the softness of the tofu nao before he ate it in his mouth.

And the steamed steamed buns placed in front of the tofu nao made people move their index fingers. The fat, white and round steamed buns kept emitting steam, as if they were in a fairyland. .

And the cage carrying the steamed buns is like the Immortal Terrace of the Fairyland, like a holy land transformed by rain.

As for the small steamed buns inside, they sat there seriously, as if they were listening to the Daoist teaching.

Jiang Xia likes not dipping in any dipping sauce when eating Xiaolongbao, because he thinks that only in this way can the most original taste of Xiaolongbao be tasted.

Besides, dipping in vinegar or chili will overwhelm the taste of the xiao long bao itself.

Holding the chopsticks and stretching towards the xiao long bao, the moment the chopsticks touched the xiao long bao, the skin on the outside of the xiao long bao was immediately pressed back, and the touch was really like human skin.

Although this Xiaolongbao is not as thin as Su-style and Shanghai-style Xiaolongbao, you can see the juice inside when you gently pick it up and shake it casually.

But what this kind of steamed buns want is softness.

Unknowingly, even Jiang Xia herself didn't realize that she began to swallow saliva continuously.

Slightly getting closer, you can even smell the meaty aroma that the white skin on the outside can't stop.

At this moment, Jiang Xia seemed to feel that all other breakfasts were beginning to be overshadowed.

For this first Xiaolongbao, he was not willing to swallow it in one gulp, but chose to cut it in half.

Bite down the soft coat without forming any barriers, and it was easily broken through, but once the outer coat was broken, the heat inside gushed out.

The salty and delicate meat filling was also split in half from the middle.

The inside is like catkins in the spring breeze, and the color of the coat is like the white beauty of autumn.

The juice is rich, but not wanton, it is just gently kneaded into the noodles through constant chewing.

"Delicious!" Jiang Xia came up with these words in his mind while eating.

In this line of work, he naturally knows that any kind of delicious food must be particular about it, especially the food like Xiaolongbao, which can be found all over the street.

Easy to do, hard to do well.

After swallowing half of the steamed bun in his mouth, he threw the remaining half into his mouth and began to savor it again.

After eating the half, Jiang Xia stretched his chopsticks to the next one without hesitation, but this time he didn't taste it carefully, but put the whole dumpling into his mouth and started He ate boldly.

Eating a whole xiao long bao in a bold and unrestrained manner is completely different from the previous elegant way of eating.

Obviously, the hot air of the Xiaolongbao eaten in this way is completely sealed in the mouth, making the meat filling and the juice inside more lively.

When Jiang Xia came back to his senses, half of the steamed buns in front of him had been killed, but the tofu nao hadn't even touched a bite.

Jiang Xia just started to eat the tofu nao while eating the steamed buns, but even so, when the steamed buns were finished, most of the tofu nao was still uneaten.

"Boss, another cage." Jiang Xia asked for another cage. He felt that he might be full today.

But it is also romantic to be a ghost under the peony flower, and this sentence is also applicable to food.

Holding disposable chopsticks, he continued to eat Xiaolongbao and drank tofu nao like a storm, until his lips and teeth were comfortable, and he quietly relieved after two baskets.

"The boss pays the bill!" After eating, Jiang Xia stood up with difficulty, touched her belly unconsciously, and shouted angrily.

At this time, Feng Honghong also came over and asked with a smile: "How about our steamed buns?"

Jiang Xia patted her stomach: "It's delicious, I've never eaten breakfast so full before."

It is the greatest appreciation for the chef that the guests are full because of the delicious food.

And it was his son who made the steamed buns, and to praise his son was to praise himself, and Feng Honghong was also smiling.

"It's fine as long as it tastes good."

Jiang Xia has obviously been approved by Feng Honghong.

Then Jiang Xia went back first after paying the money.

Immediately afterwards, guests came to have breakfast continuously, and the number of steamed buns in the kitchen was also decreasing layer by layer.

In addition to the customers eating in the store, some people wanted to pack a tofu nao and a few fried dough sticks when they came to the store, but they immediately changed their minds after seeing the Xiaolongbao.

After all, few people can resist the temptation of Xiaolongbao.

Including everyone in the store, although they have already had breakfast, sometimes they can't help but take out a basket of steamed buns when they see how delicious the guests are eating outside, and then everyone directly eats one or two with their hands.

It is normal for cooks to steal food in Honghong Restaurant, anyway, Chen Nian himself often does this too, sometimes he can’t help but take a bite or two out to taste the saltiness of the dishes he cooks when he sees them taste good.

Even if you have cooked a dish to perfection, you still have to taste it occasionally, otherwise it is easy to make the dish more and more salty or bland under subtle influence.

Of course, for Chen Nian, this can also relieve his greed.

After breakfast, they started to prepare the food for lunch again. Now Chen Nian has another small Chongqing noodle in his hands. Although the toppings have been prepared in the morning, the live noodles in the morning are basically enough for the morning. We need to meet again.

Otherwise, if the dough is proofed for too long, it will lose its toughness and elasticity, and the taste will also deteriorate accordingly.

It's just that the added workload is not too much burden for aging, and half an hour is enough.

Next, Chen Nian plans to teach his mother how to make sour plum soup, so that he doesn't have to worry about sour plum soup.

In short, everyone in the store performs their own duties. Chen Nian will teach them as much as possible, but at the same time, it will not make them too tired. If there is an overload situation, Chen Nian will choose to recruit another person. .

But at least not yet.

However, when they were preparing ingredients in the restaurant in the morning, Lu Xiao came again and told everyone that the design plan had been finalized, and now the decoration was started.

Moreover, she has visited the building materials market several times before, and some basic materials have also been determined.

This time I came here to ask if there is anything needed in Honghong Hotel, she can buy it back together, and then take advantage of the workers to decorate it by the way.

"No, the decoration of the store was almost done before, what is missing now is actually some decorative paintings on the wall." Chen Nian shook his head and said, "But at that time, I thought about hiring someone to paint or I wanted to decorate it with some distinctive patterns, but later I felt that it was a bit gimmicky, so I kept it empty, and now I don’t intend to move it, and I will talk about it later when I think about it.”

"That's fine, then I'll start the decoration first. In short, if you need anything, you can tell me, such as faucets and valves. If it doesn't work, you can change it. Anyway, you have to buy everything. , if I buy them together, it will be slightly cheaper."

"No problem." Chen Nian made an OK gesture.

Afterwards, Lu Xiao left again, obviously she was going to be busy for a while.

In fact, I also learned a little about Chen Nian at my cousin's family later. Needless to say, my cousin opened a cake shop in her hometown after graduating from university. The main reason is that their family relationship is also good.

Although there is a younger brother under the cousin, but the younger brother also listens to his sister and parents, and Lu Xiao's parents, his second aunt and second uncle, did not show patriarchy.

Including this time when Lu Xiao came to Chengdu to open a branch and the cake shop in his hometown was completely handed over to them to take care of. In addition to part of the money earned by the cake shop to subsidize his parents' household, his younger brother would also take part of it, but the rest of the money They will still call Lu Xiao.

There will not be a situation in many articles or news where parents quietly let the younger brother take charge of the store while the older sister is away.

That's why Lu Xiao came to Chengdu to open a branch with such peace of mind, because no matter what, there is a store in his hometown as the backing.

However, when Chen Nian thought about it, this would not happen if he was an only child. Anyway, he only needed to take good care of himself and his mother.

As for getting married in the future, that is to take good care of his wife and children.

During the staff meal at noon, Qiao Zhaomei's girlfriend came over to have a meal, and then helped to clean the table very considerately, and brought the dishes to the kitchen. She wanted to wash them, but there were four people standing in the kitchen. How can a big man let a girl do it?

"I will definitely write another one about food in my next book, and I will write all of you into it!" Qiao Zhaomei's girlfriend Jiu Jiuzi said firmly, "And I have already thought about the theme!"

"Okay, then we'll all watch it then, but you have to make my writing more handsome, or it won't match the real situation." Chen Nian said with a smile.

"Don't worry, that's a must!" Jiuzizi clenched his fists.

"Brother Qiao and sister-in-law are really talented. They have to write so many words every day. Now you ask me to write a [-]-word composition. I struggle." He Hai said enviously.

"She has developed a habit because she loves this and has been writing for a long time. Otherwise, you see, I have been in love with her for so long, and I can't write anything." Qiao Zhaomei said, suddenly thinking that she hadn't asked He What does the sea girlfriend do, so I asked.

"My girlfriend, she is a manicurist. She used to work in a shop, but now she plans to come and join me. Although we still have some savings, it is not enough. Our current plan is that she come and join me first, and then Find a shop to continue working, and I am slowly saving money, and when the money is almost saved, I will open a nail shop by myself, and then buy some equipment."

"That's pretty good." Qiao Zhaomei nodded, "Then if my girlfriend wants to do nails, I can go to your girlfriend. After all, we are all on our own. Why don't you give me a discount?"

"No problem! What kind of discount is there for our relationship? My sister-in-law can do it for free. My girlfriend is very nice!" He Hai was a little proud when he said this.

"When will she come?" Chen Nian asked again while listening.

"The air ticket next Tuesday morning will be cheaper, and she will have to take the train for a long time alone. I'm a little worried. It's better to get there in more than two hours by plane."

"Okay, then tell me in advance that I will give you a vacation and go back to settle down." Chen Nian said, he naturally hoped that the clerk's family members would come with him, after all, everyone would stay in the store with all their hearts inside.

It's just that he won't say these words, and what he says will look old-fashioned, especially like a black-hearted capitalist.

The working time passed quickly amidst talking and laughing, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Honghong Restaurant closed, and Chen Nian was lying on the table playing with his mobile phone.

But after watching for a while, he didn't find any interesting video, so Chen Nian decided to watch the video of Wensi Tofu again.

Although the women's clothing in this video seems a bit embarrassing to me, it does not hinder the overall success of the video.

When Chen Nian watched the video, he liked to watch it in combination with the comments below, because he felt that everyone in the comment area was talented and well-spoken. Although sometimes some bad jobs were done, there were also many new ones.

But he flipped through and suddenly saw a comment with only more than 20 likes.

"Why do I feel that besides An Hongdou's character in the video, another character seems to be a man?"

　Recently, there are two rudder owners, and tomorrow will start to add updates, and tomorrow will start to write a copy of the food experience
