Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 422 Designated Cannot Lose (Seeking Monthly Pass)

After Qian Hu's voice fell, Chen Nian thought for a while, if there is a whole theater troupe singing for him every day without doing anything, it seems really pretty.

"If it was the second senior brother, you might still be able to do it. If you practice martial arts well, you can still stand out. We are different. No matter how good a cook is, he is still just a cook." Chen Nian said.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe when you can learn something famous, you can also make a lot of money by opening a restaurant by yourself."

"Haha, let me ask the second senior brother for auspicious words." Chen Nian said with a smile, "If I really have a prosperous day, the second senior brother can come to my place to eat every day. It doesn't matter even if it is a canteen. No matter what you eat, I All please!"

"Happy, happy, I like happy people like you." Qian Hu also said cheerfully.

"However, I don't know if Master Sun has told you that we will have to cook more meals in a few days, because this year's martial arts competitions in Tianjin's major martial arts schools will be held in our Tianjin Wumen. Generally speaking, whose territory will the martial arts competition be on?" , the owner has to take care of the meal.

That's what they did in the past, and they couldn't cook too badly, otherwise they would be easily picked on, and if they went out and yelled a few times, it would be bad for the martial arts school's reputation. "

"Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, there are comparisons every year. There are so many martial arts gyms in Tianjin, and there are many people in each martial arts gym. It's about to be eaten.

So when we open this martial arts gym, we also need to take some jobs back, sometimes to protect some important figures, and sometimes to become martial arts masters for the children of some wealthy families, so the annual ranking is very important.

For those employers, it's all money anyway, so why don't they choose a martial arts school with a high ranking?Unless there is a martial arts gym that often cooperates, the general boss chooses the partner based on his reputation. "

When Chen Nian heard this, he almost understood.

On the one hand, the economic income of the martial arts hall may be because the head of the martial arts hall has other profitable industries, on the other hand, it may be that some bosses are willing to sponsor, and the martial arts hall relies on the students themselves to go out to generate income.

It is not only the opening of the martial arts hall to accept disciples, imparting martial arts, but also a kind of alternative security company.

However, in a few days, many people from the martial arts school will come to compete here. This is a place worth noting. As a cook of Jin Wumen, he must not be looked down upon by people from other places.

So when the time comes, Chen Nian thinks that he must show them a good hand, but with Master Sun on Jinwumen's side, they shouldn't be able to make any big waves.

So when Chen Nian and Master Sun went out to buy vegetables in the afternoon, Chen Nian talked about it again.

"Then they must be covered. Otherwise, people will think that the people of Jinwumen can't eat or drink every day. No matter whether the third master and his apprentices can win the battle, at least our cooks can't." lose."

Chen Nian nodded: "That's right! But I think there should be no problem. Master Sun, you are the chef of Shandong cuisine, and you will never be worse than them at that time."

"That's not certain." Sun Fuquan shook his head, "I heard that when I went to other martial arts gyms, several martial arts gyms would hire a chef from a Tianjin restaurant at a high price a few days in advance, just to show off .

In the territory of Tianjin, there are still a few powerful guys. "

"It's okay, they are them, we are us, the people in the martial arts hall know best whether the food is good, even if they hire a good cook from a big restaurant to show off in front of outsiders, they still have to eat the same food afterward." Chen Year said.

Apparently, the momentary pleasure is just to slap a swollen face in front of outsiders and pretend to be fat.

Only the delicacy that can be eaten every day is the most real.

"Well said!" Sun Fuquan couldn't help raising his hand and patted Chen Nian's arm, "Based on your words, our Jinwumen can't lose, or I will cook delicious food for them every day!"

"Hahaha, then I will beat them when I go back, and tell them what you said exactly, Mr. Sun, so that they can cheer up one by one, and don't work hard during training every day, or they will lose when the time comes. It's your face, Mr. Sun!" Chen Nian said with a smile.

"Go, go, don't talk to me here. We all work for the third master. Now you have something to ask of me, and you want to learn from me. You are deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors by doing this!" Although Sun Fuquan said it was serious, he actually looked relaxed.

As a result, the relationship between the two has been further shortened.

"By the way, Mr. Sun, did you work in a restaurant before?" Chen Nian took advantage of the situation and asked this topic, "I seem to have heard it from the brothers in the martial arts hall before."

"Yeah." Sun Fuquan nodded, "When I was young, I always worked in restaurants."

"Are they all restaurants of Shandong cuisine? Then Master Sun, you must have a good master, who is of high standard and willing to teach others. Otherwise, how could you make Shandong cuisine so good?" Chen Nian said calmly. Blowing rainbow farts.

"What kind of situation? You say that you seem to have eaten my cooking." Master Sun gave Chen Nian an angry look.

"I don't need to eat it. It's good that the third master has eaten it. The big figures in the martial arts world like the third master approve of your cooking. Doesn't that explain everything?" Chen Nian said as a matter of course.

"That's true." Sun Fuquan admitted it without any humility, "At the beginning, I met the third master because of a meal. At that time, the third master was still relatively young. At that time, he invited an old man from the martial arts world to dinner. , I ate the dishes I made, but when the third master opened the martial arts gym, I was already in a semi-retired state, but he still found me and insisted on inviting me out of the mountain."

When he said this, Chen Nian could tell that Mr. Sun was proud. After all, it was an honor to be able to be done by the other party.

The chef lives in seclusion behind the scenes all the year round and sees no one. The only thing he sees is the dish after dish. Whether it is delicious or not depends entirely on the guests.

"Look at what I'm talking about? I'll just say, Mr. Sun, you've got some tricks, right?"

"Hahaha, you flattered me." Sun Fuquan was also overjoyed by Chen Nian's few words.

"If Mr. Sun doesn't like it, I won't say anything about it in the future." Chen Nian thought of retreating.

"No, talk more, maybe I can teach you how to cook earlier." Mr. Sun quickly stopped him, obviously everyone loves to hear beautiful words, and an open-minded person like Sun Fuquan didn't bother to hide them.

"That's no problem, but Mr. Sun, I know that I will tell you one thing. What I said just now was not all to please you. Many of them were said from the bottom of my heart. That's how I am. If I feel okay, just Praise, if you feel bad, scold." Chen Nian stated his position again, saying that the flattery he flattered was not actually flattery, but the true feelings from the heart.

"Then I'll just believe it." Sun Fuquan had a very happy chat with Chen Nian today.

"By the way, Mr. Sun, have you always worked in a restaurant that cooks Shandong cuisine?" Chen Nian asked inadvertently while talking.

"Not all, because I was born in the family, so I followed my father at the beginning, and then I went to BJ City to work hard when something happened to our family. At that time, I didn't want to cook Lu cuisine. , I found a roast duck restaurant, but that restaurant didn’t do very well, so I went to another bigger roast duck restaurant. That roast duck restaurant was the best in BJ City, and I worked there for ten years. After a few years, I felt that it was not interesting after I learned the craft, so I came out from there and started to cook Shandong cuisine."

Sure enough, Chen Nian heard about roast duck from Mr. Sun!

And he has worked in a roast duck restaurant for more than ten years!

Sure enough, I found the wrong person. I thought it was a big oolong before, and the system played a trick on me.

So Chen Nian pretended to be surprised and asked again: "Mr. Sun, can you still cook roast duck?"

"Yes, from duck selection to processing, to roasting and the last piece of duck and the remaining duck skeleton roasted or made into soup. Later, when I went back to Tianjin to cook Shandong cuisine, I also made roast duck, otherwise Why should a Lu restaurant want me to be half-hearted?" Sun Fuquan said frankly.

"Then, Master Sun, did you go to the Lu cuisine restaurant with your roast duck skills, and then learn Lu cuisine while making roast duck?"

"It's not too bad." Master Sun nodded.

When Chen Nian heard this, he was finally sure that he could indeed learn roast duck from Master Sun.

But Chen Nian suddenly thought, if he could learn how to roast duck from here, wouldn't he be able to sell it in Honghong Restaurant after he went back, but adding a roast duck to Honghong Restaurant would make the cuisine even more chaotic, and now everyone It is conceivable that in order to cook roast duck, I will definitely have to buy another stove dedicated to roast duck.

As a result, the work in the store is even more troublesome.

But Chen Nian thought about it again, now that his two apprentices in the store are learning quickly, Xie Yu can already cook basically all the dishes on the menu in the store.

Boiled dried shredded rice is also completely fine, that is, Wensi tofu may not be enough.

As for He Hai, it is estimated that he will be able to make Chongqing noodles in a short time. At that time, what he will be cooking will probably be the dishes for the banquet, so he has time to be distracted and make roast duck.

And Chen Nian has already thought about it, and when the time comes, let Xie Yu cook those home-cooked dishes, and he will cook Jiuzhuan large intestine, Wensi tofu, roast duck, and those more complicated dishes at the banquet.

Now I am thinking that if I am too busy, it may be that it will be a little busy outside. Two people have to order food, and it may be really busy to serve food and collect money. Then I should go back and hire another one.

And when I have another seven or eight dreams, the amount of dishes in the store is estimated to double, but by then I should be able to make a lot of money, and if possible, I can expand the store.

While Chen Nian was thinking, they also went to the vegetable market.

"Master Sun, what are we going to do tonight?"

"I'm going to make it tonight. I'm going to make Lao Bao San, then make Mu Shu Pork, mix it with cold dishes and make some porridge."

"Then it should be in a big basin?"

"Well, put a big basin on the table."

There are three dishes to be made tonight, cold dishes are better to talk about, anyway, as long as they are cool and refreshing, the main ones are the Mushu meat and Lao Baosan mentioned by Sun Fuquan.

Mushu meat is a relatively common and characteristic traditional Shandong dish. It is also called alfalfa meat and sweet-scented osmanthus meat. Anyway, the meaning is the same.

Mushu meat was first recorded in the "Beidongyuan Transcripts·Three Parts" written by Liang Gongchen of the Qing Dynasty.

"In the northern store, chicken is used to stir-fry the meat, which is called osmanthus meat, whichever is covered with broken yellow color"

Moreover, this dish first appeared in the menu of the Confucian Mansion in Qufu. At the beginning, the main ingredients of this dish were pork, eggs, fungus and magnolia slices, that is, bamboo shoots. But after it was introduced to BJ, due to the lack of bamboo shoots here, So gradually it was replaced with day lily or cucumber slices.

It’s just that when Chen Nian went out to eat with his classmates when he was in school, when he saw this dish in a restaurant, he thought it was dark cuisine?
Who would stir-fry cucumbers, eggs, meat and fungus together? It’s unacceptable just by looking at it.

But after eating with those guys a few times, I found that the taste seemed to be okay...

And if it's delicious, it's delicious.

As for Lao Pao San, it is a traditional famous dish in Tianjin, and this dish is also known as the four traditional home-cooked dishes in the current Tianjin area, along with Gong Pao Chicken, Yuxiang Pork Shredded and Mushu Pork.

The main raw materials of this dish are dried meat slices and kidneys. Other than that, no auxiliary ingredients are put into it. The taste is relatively strong and the aroma of garlic is strong. It is very suitable as an appetizer.

Of course, if there is no wine, it is also possible to drink it with porridge.

Unexpectedly, Master Sun didn’t cook at noon, and when he cooked at night, there were two dishes that he didn’t know. This made Chen Nian very happy. If he made Kung Pao Chicken and Yuxiang Pork Shredded, Chen Nian would probably feel uncomfortable again. After all, there is a big difference between what he will do and what he will do here.

Although Kung Pao Chicken may also originate from Shandong cuisine, Chen Nian is a Sichuanese after all, and both seeing and eating it are the Sichuan way.

Since Mr. Sun is in charge of the evening dishes, Mr. Sun chooses where to buy vegetables, and he picks old acquaintances. For the old acquaintances Mr. Sun knows, old age is not very convenient for bargaining. After all, what people see is not You brat.

The old man didn't say anything, so what weight does your word have?
But fortunately, the prices given by these people are relatively affordable, which saves the old talk.

After buying the vegetables, of course they were asked to deliver them directly to the door, and on the way back, Sun Fuquan also warned: "Sometimes you have to be tough with them, otherwise these people are very treacherous and often shoddy, you Pick it up here and wait for it to be sent over and then secretly change it.

You have to be tough. They don’t dare to provoke you when they see you are not easy to provoke. This is how people are at this time. There are rich people who are good and bad, and poor people who are good and bad. But many people want to do business and make more money. Can do anything. "

Chen Nian nodded, keeping these in mind, but at the same time, he was also looking forward to going back at night to see the Mushu Meat and Lao Baosan made by Mr. Sun himself!
