Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 467 If you want to compete well, you must have logistics

Sure enough, when everyone came back, they were all so happy when they heard that they ate noodles at noon today. They ate noodles very rarely when they were in the martial arts school.

Because of Master Sun's superb cooking skills, all the dishes he knows can add up to three meals a day, each of which is not repeated, enough for them to eat for a year, so they can't finish the stir-fry alone, and they can only eat noodles once in a while.

This frequency is about once every two months.

And they just went to the venue of the World Martial Arts Tournament this morning and circled around. The venue was sheltered from the wind and rain, but after they came out, they were all sweating profusely under the sun.

Using this mode of transportation on foot will undoubtedly increase the burden on everyone.

"It's good to eat noodles. When I was young, my dad liked to make noodles with fried sauce for me. But at that time, my family couldn't afford meat. Every time my dad made it, he would put eggs in it. The black sauce made the eggs Wrapped, my dad lied to me and said it was meat." Qian Hu couldn't help expressing his feelings after seeing the fried noodles.

"Then how did you find out later?" Tang Dechun asked curiously.

"Later, when I was about eleven or twelve years old, I saw my dad crack eggs into it with my own eyes, and then I was very angry. I felt that I had been cheated for more than ten years since I was a child, but my dad said that these were chickens. The meat of the baby is very tender, so I believe it again." Qian Hu said.

"Then you were really easy to deceive when you were young. I think a human trafficker could abduct you with a piece of candy." Tang Dechun joked with a smile.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wen on the side spoke again: "Brother, I don't think what you said is right. Who do you think would abduct and sell a child with an unshaven beard? If this is abducted and sold back, wouldn't it be a hit? Even if you sell it, no one will want it."

As soon as the words came out, Qian Hu glared at him angrily: "If you weren't Master's son, I would have to show you what it means to be staring at gold stars today!"

As a result, Shen Wen was not angry at all when he saw Qian Hu's feigned anger: "Second senior brother, am I wrong? You started growing beards when you were eleven or twelve years old. You told us that, and it wasn't me. It's just nonsense, I'm just talking about the facts."

Qian Hu was speechless for a moment, because after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he really said it himself.

While the crowd was making noise, Chen Nian put the noodles into the pot. After the fire boiled, the noodles gradually cooked.

The noodles just put in are like swimming dragons flying up and down in the boiling water, entangled and collided with each other, but they don't stick to each other.

Coupled with the black bottom of the pot, at first glance, it seems that in a small world covered with dark clouds, countless dragon kings are rolling and dancing on top of the dark clouds, preparing to bring blessings and rain to the world.

The pot used for aging is large, so the fire is also high, and the water boils very quickly.

Soon after the noodles are cooked, they are fished out with a large strainer.

"Do you want to drink cold water?" Chen Nian raised his head and asked.

After passing through the cold water, the noodles will become colder, and the surface will be smoother, but everyone agrees that they should not pass through the cold water, and they want to eat them hot.

Chen Nian nodded, then took Tang Dechun's bowl and made a bowl full of noodles.

Then I used a big spoon to scoop a large spoonful of fried sauce from the basin with fried sauce on it.

"Senior brother, eat first. If you don't have enough sauce or noodles, come and add more." Chen Nian said.

"Okay, no problem." Tang Dechun nodded.

After that came Qian Hu, and Qian Hu also handed over his bowl: "Master Chen, please order me a little less noodle soup for the fried noodles later, I like fried fried noodles with some soup."

Adding more noodle soup is just a matter of aging a spoonful, a requirement that's easily met.

After two bowls, Chen Nian watched the two prepare the sauce over there, and after eating with chopsticks, there was no strange expression on his face, then he took out a special bowl in the kitchen and filled the noodles and fried noodles. Jiang, after putting the dish code on it, he said to everyone: "Wait a minute, everyone, I will send a bowl to the third master first."

Naturally, other people would not have any opinion on delivering food to Shen San, after all, Shen San is their master, and master is the elder, and the elder should eat first.

As for Tang Dechun and Qian Hu in front... They also saw Chen Nian's actions, and knew that Chen Nian was treating them two as experimental subjects, and wanted to see if the noodles were cooked.

He came to Shen San with a noodle bowl, and put the noodle bowl and chopsticks on the table lightly: "San Ye, this is today's fried noodles for lunch, but this is only the first time for me to make it, and the preparation is a bit complicated." Less, the sauce may be a little bit less interesting, so you can make do with it.

Originally, I said I would give you a surprise, but I didn't expect that I didn't do my best, so please forgive me. "

As soon as Chen Nian opened his mouth, he was an old apologist. Instead of waiting for Shen San to eat and frown for a while, it would be better to preemptively strike. At least after he mentioned the shortcomings of this side, Shen San would be prepared to eat again.

Chen Nian's inoculation seems to have no effect on Shen San, but it is not so much that it does not work, it is better to say that Shen San is tolerant in these aspects.

"It's okay, just leave it alone, anyway, it's fine if you can eat enough, and if you don't cook well, your master will definitely not let you stay in the martial arts hall, so you don't worry, you don't have to think about it every time you cook. These."

A good meal of comfort made Chen Nian's heart return to his stomach.

After returning to the kitchen, I continued to serve noodles and scoop fried sauce for everyone.

It didn't take long before the sound of snoring and snoring came from the courtyard, and none of the disciples went back to the house. After all, it was hot outside and the house was naturally hot, so they just found a place in the aisle where the sun could not bask. Squat down in the corner, and just eat with your hands.

The way they eat doesn't look like they are eating noodles, but Chen Nian thinks drinking noodles is more appropriate.

But this shows that the noodles made by Chen Nian are in line with their appetite.

Eating is like eating noodles, and eating noodles is like drinking water.

With so many people's noodles, one pot is naturally endless.

It took Chen Nian a total of two times to finish the noodles, but after the second time, Chen Nian finally picked up a bowl for himself.

As a result, Chen Nian saw that there was still something left in the pot at this time.

"Who of you is not enough, come over and add some noodles, there is still in the pot, you have to cook it later!" Chen Nian yelled outside.

As a result, the three of Tang Dechun who ate first raised their heads at the same time, but Tang Dechun finally shook his head: "You two go to add it first, there is still some left in my bowl and I will add it later."

At this time they heard Chen Nian continue to add: "There is still one serving, if you want to eat, come and add it first."

As a result, Qian Hu also stopped in his tracks: "Third brother, go and pick it up, I'll add it later."

But how could Shen Wen let his two senior brothers push and push him to go up to get more food, so the three of them pushed and pulled again. added.

Chen Nian didn't fix too much for himself this time due to the fact that he put a steamed bun before, but Chen Nian also filled more than half of the Dahai Bowl.

It takes some effort to stir the noodles with fried sauce. If they are not cooked well, it is very likely that the noodles that are stirred will not have a uniform sauce.

Since it is old BJ fried noodles, you have to hang all the thick sauce on the noodles, and then eat the noodles with sauce in your mouth to be happy.

But after a big mouthful of noodles, Chen Nian has to take another bite of garlic to match.

As the saying goes, it is better to eat rice than to eat noodles without garlic.

This northern proverb is not without reason.

Of course, according to the taste of aging, I even wanted to put some vinegar in it, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "If it's winter, put some vinegar that has been marinated with Laba garlic in the noodles, and then peel five or six cloves of Laba garlic. In a bowl, it will definitely taste better."

If they are at home, Chen Nian can get some Laba garlic to marinate in advance, but this condition is not available when they come out, and they should go back after the Laba garlic is marinated.

But eating raw garlic also has a special flavor.

And this time, everyone really wants to eat it directly from the pot. Otherwise, according to the old-fashioned habit, if you eat noodles in summer, you usually eat water.

It's just that he also understands what everyone thinks, it's like eating hot pot in summer and popsicles in winter.

While eating old food, I still don’t forget to listen to it. At this moment, the yard seems to have entered the lair of some kind of large animal, and the sound of eating noodles is everywhere.

Some voices are rough and whirring, while others are relatively restrained, sounding sizzling.

But it is also this different voice that adds a lot of different splendor to this mansion.

It didn't take long for Chen Nian to finish eating all the noodles in the bowl. It was a hearty meal, extremely happy, and infinitely satisfying in his heart.

But after eating, there are still a lot of diced meat left at the bottom of the bowl, and these are all shaken off when the noodles are shaken off.

This is the most expensive thing in this bowl of noodles, so it is natural not to waste it, so I picked up the bowl and used chopsticks to pull all the diced meat into my mouth.

Chen Nian likes to deal with the leftover fried sauce in this way, but this is just Chen Nian's own habit. Looking up at other people, there are many people who did not put the diced meat in the leftover fried sauce in one go like Chen Nian Instead of pulling the whole thing into his mouth, he picked it up one by one with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth one by one.

It's quite like eating melon seeds.

After eating the noodles, it is natural to drink soup. As the saying goes, the original soup turns into the original food. This kind of saying is quite popular in the north.

And most people are indeed like this. After eating noodles, they come to Chen Nian to make noodle soup, but Chen Nian was still eating noodles just now, so let them do it themselves.

One by one, put the noodle soup directly into the bowl that is still dipped in the sauce and stir for a while, the color of the noodle soup becomes slightly darker.

But they didn't care at all. As they walked outside, they brought the bowl to their mouths and took a sip carefully.

Finally, he let out another long breath.

"It's a bit hot." He couldn't help muttering, but while muttering, his hand still put the bowl to his lips unconsciously.

Chen Nian also took a sip like this, he sweated a lot while eating the noodles, but when he took a sip of the noodle soup, the sweat dripped down for nothing.

He just roughly wiped the sides of his forehead, sideburns and the back of his neck with his sleeves, and then he began to concentrate on this bowl of noodle soup.

In fact, at the beginning, old-fashioned noodles would not be eaten with garlic at all, because no matter when raw garlic is eaten, there will always be a strong garlic taste in the mouth, which will not go away, even if it is chewing gum. So easy to remove.

But after Chen Nian went to school here, he gradually started to get garlic with his classmates.

The main reason is that I heard them say that eating noodles without garlic will lose half the flavor, and eating noodles without garlic is not as good as eating rice. My ears are almost callused. Fortunately, Chen Nian also tried it later, and found that this combination is in There is indeed a reason why it is more popular in the northern region.

Although there will still be a smell of garlic in the mouth after eating, but everyone is like this, the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother, if there is still class in the afternoon, they will brush their teeth together, eat chewing gum, and make tea together. Suppress the taste in your mouth.

Later, my old classmate discovered that mouthwash is a very domineering thing. After eating, rinse your mouth with mouthwash and shake it in your mouth for 30 seconds. The stimulus is swollen.

But after using the mouthwash, the mouth is indeed quite refreshing.

But what I said is a digression after all. There is no such thing as mouthwash in this period. If it is in Tianjin, Chen Nian is more familiar with the surroundings, and he can go to the neighbor's house to get some mint leaves back.

But now on BJ's side, he can only endure it.

At worst, drink more water in the afternoon and then go out and buy some fruit to eat.

As Uncle Ma said earlier, everyone liked the fried noodles this time.

Just as he was washing the pots and dishes after the old age, Uncle Ma came here again: "Look at what I said at noon, they like to eat, right? Do you know why?"

Chen Nian thought for a while and guessed: "Is it because they can't save face and say it's not delicious, or are they not very picky eaters, and they can eat delicious food when they're done?"

Uncle Ma shook his head: "Not at all, because we also have noodles with fried sauce in Tianjin. You may not have eaten them outside. What I told you before is the custom of old BJ's side, but if you go to Tianjin to make fried noodles The sauce also uses sweet noodle sauce, so they are more familiar with your taste."

"Oh! It seems so!" Chen Nian slapped his head and suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding when he said that before. Although he had not eaten noodles with fried sauce since he arrived in Tianjin, he suddenly remembered that he was in the Tianjin Martial Arts Tournament. At that time, those Korean people seemed to go out to eat Jajangmyeon the next day.

As a result, after Chen Nian knew about it, he deliberately chatted with Master Sun. That's what Master Sun said at the time, but this time Chen Nian was only thinking about old BJ fried noodles, and he didn't think of that.

"No wonder." Chen Nian nodded, but if the people in BJ Nancheng followed the practice, the people in these martial arts gyms should also like to eat more.

"Okay, I'm just here to tell you, and you can think about it later on your own. After all, I have more experience. When it comes to cooking, even though I am much older than you, the taste is sure. It's far worse than you." Uncle Ma waved his hand cheerfully and said goodbye, and Chen Nian planned to go back to rest.

But as soon as he reached the door, Uncle Ma stopped again, and turned his head to look at Chen Nian: "By the way, Boy Chen, I forgot to ask you, how is your master doing recently? Are you still dizzy?"

When Chen Nian heard this, he didn't know how Uncle Ma knew about it, but he still replied truthfully: "It seems that he still has dizziness. A few days before I came to BJ, he was dizzy when I went to play chess with him. I was originally sitting, but I almost fell when I stood up, but I managed to hold onto the table with my hands."

"Well, it's actually an old problem of his, but did he tell you anything?"

"I didn't say anything, just said that standing up suddenly was a bit violent."

"Okay, I'll take a look when I get back. I need to worry a little more when I'm old, and I can't get used to a little bit of ailment, or it will turn into a big problem, and there's no cure." Uncle Ma While talking, he left the kitchen.

At this time, Chen Nian felt that Master Ma might have something that he didn't tell him, but after thinking about it, Master usually looks good, and his energy and spirit also look good, so he didn't think much about it.

In this way, day by day passed in the city of BJ, and the weeds in the yard were cleaned up. Although they came to BJ a week before the official opening of the Tournament of Nations, they did not come to BJ during these few days. Ditch the workout.

Except for the first day, every morning after that, I would get up early and start exercising and exercising moves in the yard.

Although the equipment is a bit crude, the method is all thought up by people. If there is no wooden dummy, trees can be used instead.

If the tree is not easy to use, find a senior or a junior to exercise.

Moreover, Chen Nian had seen Shen San gesticulating with his hands and feet in the yard more than once, as if he was studying some new moves. Although Chen Nian couldn't understand it, he always felt quite powerful.

Everyone is practicing martial arts nervously for the World Martial Arts Tournament. As a logistics, in addition to ensuring everyone's normal diet and daily nutritional intake, they will also practice together when they have time, just like in the martial arts hall before. like that.

Anyway, staying is still waiting, it is better to learn more things, and treat it as a gift for entering the dream space.

Although it may not be useful to return to reality in the future, in case something unexpected happens one day, if you can't escape for a while, at least you can go up and make gestures with others.

It's just that Chen Nian will still take his own safety as the criterion. After all, Chen Nian has also seen the news that a college student punched a knife-wielding gangster on the spot, and ended up being stabbed nineteen times.

Now aging is just laying the foundation first, and after a while, aging plans to make a special trip to ask Shen San or Tang Dechun and Qian Hu whether there are any moves that can deal with this situation.

In the next few days, Chen Nian changed his style of cooking for everyone, without the restrictions of Master Sun, Chen Nian also became a lot more free.

However, considering that everyone’s acceptance of spicy food is still not that strong, Chen Nian didn’t make spicy dishes, and he also made Lao Bao San and Mushu pork that he learned from Master Sun a few times. .

In addition to practicing day and night in Tianjin City, Chen Nian is already quite good at these dishes.

Do it one or two more times to reach the peak, and when you return to Tianjin, you can show it to Master Sun.

As for the aging of Furong chicken slices, there is not much progress. The main reason is that the process of this dish is relatively complicated, and it takes an hour or two to process the meat.

In addition, it is not very convenient here, so Chen Nian never touches this dish at all. The same is true for roast duck. Chen Nian wants to practice it, but there is no stove here, so he can't practice at all. I can wait until I get back.

On the second day, Chen Nian made noodles with fried sauce for everyone, and in the next few days, Chen Nian thought about making some old BJ's traditional food for everyone.

As a result, after much deliberation, Chen Nian planned to make shredded pork with Beijing sauce for dinner. Besides, there might be a little more choices for breakfast.

For example, stir-fried liver with noodle tea, boiled in marinade, soybean juice and so on.

It's just that when these things are made, Chen Nian feels that everyone may not be able to accept them.

Especially soy juice, many local people in Old BJ don't drink it, let alone outsiders.

In the end, Chen Nian gave up these ideas, and planned to study the shredded pork with Beijing sauce after a while. Otherwise, Chen Nian thought that he could try to make snacks such as donkey rolling and pea yellow.

By the way, let's review my cooking skills in dim sum and snacks. After all, I seldom cook these after returning from Daxia City.

That is, before entering the dreamland this time, I wrote to my cousin the recipes of various pastries that I know.

Seeing that the day of the martial arts competition is approaching, the smiles on everyone's faces are much less every day, obviously feeling the pressure. If it is just a local martial arts competition in Tianjin, every martial arts school is familiar with it. When I first came to Jinmen, most of the sects were actually quite close to Jinwumen.

But now it's different after leaving Tianjin and coming to BJ City.

Moreover, there are only three families from Tianjin who came to participate in the martial arts competition this time, most of them are from other places, and besides these, there are even many foreign fighters.

How about calling it the World Tournament of Nations?

According to the old audience, there are Russian, British, French, Japanese, Korean, and Thai ones and so on.

Moreover, the martial arts practiced by people in these countries are also different. I heard that there are many people who are extremely strong when they look at them from a distance, and those who are strong can outperform two ordinary people.

Qian Hu, who was originally the strongest in Jinwumen, looked like a little chicken in front of them.

So the closer it was to the day of the competition, the more nervous they became.

For this reason, Chen Nian went to learn more about the competition system this time.

I heard that the host of this martial arts competition is not China, but several other countries. Of course, this does not include Korea and Thailand. These two countries are just here to make up the number, but Chen Nian knows these two countries His martial arts is actually quite powerful when he really fights.

So this time the competition system is old-fashioned, and it feels that it is biased towards these foreigners.

First of all, due to the large number of martial artists in China, it is necessary to determine the top few before they can fight with those foreign martial artists. Fight with other Chinese martial arts on the field.

The winning side can represent China in the battle.

But here comes the problem. After several rounds of battles before, each of these Chinese warriors may have suffered large or small injuries. It would be unfair to fight with energetic foreign warriors like this.

But some people protested, but it was of no use at all, and they were told that if they insisted on protesting, they would not participate in this competition.

Faced with this situation, many martial arts gyms in the country have also passed their anger in private. On the court, everyone can point it out. In fact, you can understand who is stronger and who is weaker after a few moves, unless you encounter that kind of evenly matched situation.

After all, martial arts competitions are about winning and losing. If it is really evenly matched, everyone can communicate with each other in private. If both families really want to fight, it can only be seen on the field. As for injuries, that is inevitable. However, their core purpose is to retain as much physical strength as possible to face foreigners.

In this way, the days passed day by day, and soon it was time for the martial arts competition. During the martial arts competition, the venue only provided meals for foreigners. As for these martial arts halls in China, they could only solve it by themselves.

The three martial arts schools from Tianjin are Wing Chun Boxing Gym, Longhumen and Jinwumen. Although there is hatred between Longhumen and Jinwumen, at this time, we can only temporarily abandon the previous suspicions.

Moreover, although the Wing Chun Boxing Gym also brought their cooks over, they knew that their own cooks were nothing compared to Jinwumen, so after discussion, the Wing Chun Boxing Gym decided to send their own cooks to Jinwumen. Come here to help Chen Nian.

When it is done, send it to the venue together.

The cook at the Wing Chun boxing gym thought it was Master Sun who came, but he came to the mansion in Pitiao Hutong full of joy, and all he saw was Chen Nian.

"who are you?"

"I am Chen Nian."

"Chen Nian? Who is Chen Nian?"

"I am the cook of Jinwumen."

"Isn't the cook of Jinwumen... Isn't he Sun Fuquan?"

"Oh, that's my master."

The first meeting between the two of them was not very smooth, but after they had a friendly discussion, the other party finally understood that the cook of Jinwumen is really great, not only Sun Fuquan is good, even Sun Fuquan, the new recruit The apprentices who are just in their early twenties are all extremely powerful.

It just depends on the knife skills that I can't compare with.

So put away the previous contempt, and took the initiative to help Chen Nian process the ingredients.

Since it was a delivery meal this time, Chen Nian didn't make dishes that were inconvenient to carry, and he didn't make too many types of dishes. Four dishes and one soup were standard configurations.

The four dishes are three meat and one vegetarian, and the soup made on the first day is West Lake Beef Soup.

Chen Nian has never made West Lake beef soup before, but this does not prevent Chen Nian from being very familiar with this soup. The main reason is that this soup is easy to make and delicious. It contains meat and vegetables, which can replenish physical strength and loss Lost various trace elements.

At this time, no matter what the comparison in the front is, at least you can't lose the chain in the back.
