Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 629 A busy day (seeking a monthly pass)
Now the time has come to more than two o'clock, everyone's head is full of sweat.

"It's finally over, and we can finally have lunch, but it starved me to death!"

"That's right, I didn't feel anything when I was busy just now, but now as soon as I leave, I'm tired, hungry, etc. Come up immediately."

Then they took a brief rest for a while, and Master Huo went back and changed his clothes, and then continued to cook staff meals for everyone.

"It's really particular." Chen Nian couldn't help thinking that after learning about the program list in advance before coming here, he also searched for Master Huo's name on the Internet. After all, many chefs now have self-media accounts, because they themselves are famous in the industry. They have a certain influence, coupled with excellent technology, and most of them also have companies behind them, so when cooperating with mcn organizations, there is no need to worry about being tricked.

And when Chen Nian was watching Master Huo's video, basically he might have to change at least three sets of clothes in one video.

The color of Master Huo's clothes changed when he patted them.

And during these two days of getting along, Chen Nian found that Master Huo is indeed a very demanding person, not only for the dishes, but also for himself.

But there are no big demands on others.

Chen Nian really likes to be in contact with such people. People who like to impose their will on others will always make people feel a little annoying.

After Chen Nian returned to the kitchen, he began to look at what ingredients were left. Master Huo planned to make fried rice, and then handed it over to Chen Nian to make spicy chicken with the remaining ingredients.

After that, Wang Shuaikai volunteered to come over and said that he could make boiled pork slices.

So this is another dish.

"How about I make you another scrambled egg?"

At this moment, Qin Xiaoqing also walked in.

"Okay." Since there are people who are willing to share, they must be open to all comers, including old age, and they didn't want to do a lot because they want to perform more. There is really no need to do so.

If you really want to express yourself, there will be more opportunities in the future. Besides, everything is in the program group. Sometimes even if you do too much, the program group will not cut it for you, it is useless, so just let it be. Chen Nian does not push back what should be done by himself, and Chen Nian who should not do it himself but needs help will also take the initiative to help, but like this to prevent other people from showing their faces, Chen Nian thinks it is quite good to be righteous.

In this way, they ate after the meal was prepared.

Everyone praised each other's craftsmanship one after another, but after eating Huang Daan, he suddenly said that he just took this time to review the work at noon.

See what problems need to be solved at work. As a young man, Chen Nian naturally doesn't like this. Eating is eating, and resting is resting.

Even if you want to replay after everyone has finished eating, anyway, there are still so many dishes and utensils to deal with in the kitchen.

Then I looked at everyone, although I guess they were a little reluctant, but because of face and so many cameras, they agreed.

"I think one of the problems we are facing now is that there are too many dishes in the restaurant, and our back kitchen can't be busy at all, and now we have made a lot of money, we can buy all the ingredients, and the menu can also be adjusted to a certain extent. " Chen Nian said first.

As a result, after speaking, Wang Shuaikai opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end, so he knew that Wang Shuaikai probably wanted to go with himself.

"I agree." Although his own words were robbed, Wang Shuaikai immediately raised his hand in agreement after hearing what Chen Nian had said.

"Indeed, then let's reset the menu later to see if there are any dishes that need to be purchased. After a while, you guys clean up the dishes here, and I will go shopping." Huang Daan also nodded, "After all, we The current cooking speed is still too slow to keep up with the supply, if this is still the case tomorrow, it will affect the reputation of our store."

Chen Nian sighed in his heart, why is Huang Dayan so unpopular every time he speaks, what does it mean to cook too slowly, why do you have no points in your heart when you cook too slowly?
Afterwards, they talked about other problems, and everyone kept them in mind, but most of them were problems outside the restaurant and had nothing to do with the chef himself. For example, the menu was too confusing when ordering. The guests who came first have already eaten the food, but the guests who came earlier have not yet eaten.

After that, Chen Nian didn’t say anything more. After all, it’s the third season of Chinese Kitchen, and two seasons have been filmed before, in which Wang Shuaikai also participated, so he can put forward some constructive suggestions, although Qin Xiaoqing didn’t do it. However, I should be able to cook often at home, so I also have some small experiences.

Just chatting while eating like this, it was around three o'clock when they finished eating.

"Well, after I come back from shopping for vegetables, we will go out for a while, and take a look at what else can be bought nearby. You can also go to those local restaurants and learn from them, so We will be closed tonight, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

When he heard that there was an opportunity to eat and drink with public funds, Chen Nian naturally raised his hands to agree, and Huo Fuyun also expressed his approval. He had wanted to do this a long time ago, but because of the limited funds before.

"I'll go and clean up." After eating, Chen Nian saw Yang Xue take the initiative to pack the dishes and plates into the kitchen, and suddenly said, "Go and rest, although we don't need to be open at night, but After all, I still have to go out."

"No, no, Master Chen asked me to come. You and Master Huo have been busy for so long at noon, but I don't have much to do. It's better for you to take a rest first and let me clean up here. After all, in the last season At the time, this job was also done by me.”

Look at this kid talking, how attractive he is.

"There are a lot of things in the kitchen, why don't we tidy them up together." Chen Nian gave another step.

"also."

"The kitchen will be handed over to you, we will clean up outside." Huang Da'an said.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the kitchen.

As soon as Chen Nian and Wang Shuaikai heard that the voice was from Yang Xue, they walked quickly to the kitchen.

"what happened?"

However, Chen Nian deliberately took a step behind and let Wang Shuaikai walk in front. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Shuaikai asked worriedly.

"My gosh, that's too much!"

Yang Xue pointed to the plates in front of her, they had already piled up into mountains.

"It's okay, let Master Chen and I come, you go back and rest quickly." Wang Shuaikai said, and while speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working.

Chen Nian silently walked to the other side of the pool to clean up, and handed over that side to the two, after all, the camera had already followed them there.

After all, she is a girl, so many dishes can't be taken by hand, but Yang Xue doesn't want to be idle, so she took a rag and said, "I'll clean up outside."

After that, only Wang Shuaikai and Chen Nian were left in the kitchen.

"Master Chen, we have too many bowls this time. I never had so many bowls, chopsticks and plates when I participated in the show last season."

"Yeah, it's really quite a lot." Chen Nian smiled while quickly scrubbing the plates, and there were leftovers on some plates that the guests hadn't finished eating, and they needed to be thrown away.

"Master Chen, I heard from you that you were not so busy when you were in your restaurant."

"Indeed, but it's not that it's not busy. The main reason is that there are too many tables here, and there are only two chefs in the kitchen. It's really too busy."

"Then did you have so many bowls and chopsticks after you opened?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "That's not so much. The tableware left after our business was basically 3~4 times that of here."

"Ah, so many?"

"Yeah, although we have few tables, we have to turn tables several times at noon. The restaurants outside of us eat very slowly. After all, people who come to eat are either tourists or locals with plenty of time. So they are not in a hurry to eat. Although there are many tourists and locals who come to eat in our restaurant, most of them are working or going to school nearby. They eat fast and cannot stay in the restaurant all the time. When someone leaves, someone comes in, even if some people come in and order only one rice and one dish, in the end there will be hundreds of bowls and plates."

"Of course, that's how it started."

Chen Nian replied.

Hearing these words, Wang Shuaikai couldn't help becoming curious: "Then what happened later? Is it because later... business didn't work well?"

When saying the second half of the sentence, Wang Shuaikai was a little cautious.

"That's not true. Later, I expanded the store, with more tables, and recruited a few more employees, but the few recruited in the back kitchen are now my apprentices, and I also recruited a special one outside. The good aunt does the dishes with my mum, and then it's mainly the aunt who does the dishes, and I recently added a dishwasher, which makes it a lot easier."

"That's pretty good."

It took about an hour or so before they cleaned up the kitchen completely, and Huang Dayan also went out to buy all the ingredients Huo Fuyun asked for.

Wang Shuaikai was already exhausted.

"Look at my hands, I feel like my hands are about to rot."

Chen Nian took a look at it: "Indeed, look at this red one."

He intended to say a few more words of comfort, but in the end he couldn't say anything, after all, in Chen Nian's view, these were all things within his job duties.

Then they went back to rest.

Chen Nian also lay down and slept for about half an hour before regaining his energy.

After waking up, he counted the time.

It should be night in China now, and Hongdou is probably done with work, right?

So I sent a message to ask.

Soon Hongdou made a video call.

As a result, they had just chatted for a while when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Open the door and see Yang Xue, Wang Shuaikai and Qin Xiaoqing.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, we just came to express condolences to you, uncle. We just came out from Master Huo just now, and now we come to see you."

"That's it, come in and sit down..."

While speaking, he greeted the crowd and sat down, while Chen Nian was also talking to Hongdou: "They came to see me and said they wanted to express their condolences to me."

"I didn't expect you to be very popular, and you got used to it so quickly." An Hongdou also said with confidence, mainly because she was worried that Chen Nian, an amateur, would be bullied there.

After all, even if the other Master Huo is also an amateur, he is the chief executive of a five-star hotel anyway.

"Don't worry, everyone is fine. Xiao Kai and I washed the dishes at noon today." Chen Nian said with a smile. It is natural to behave politely when you are old.

"That's right, Mr. Chen is very good. He was so busy at noon that he didn't say he was tired, and he moved very fast. He controlled the three pots by himself. I was so stupid at the time!" Wang Shuaikai also said loudly beside him.

"Sister-in-law?" At this moment, Yang Xue also came over.

She had indeed searched for An Hongdou on the Internet before, after all, she had nothing to do while lying down.

But at this moment, I can't help but wonder what is the difference between An Hongdou in the video and the photos on the Internet.

Fortunately, Hongdou had just arrived home at this time, so he didn't look particularly embarrassed.

"Wow! Xiaoxue!"

"I actually saw Xiaoxue!"

An Hongdou was also a little excited after meeting Yang Xue: "When I was young, I watched your family grow up with children! I really liked watching you bicker with Liu Xing at that time! I thought you were very beautiful when I was young, but I didn't expect You are even more beautiful now!"

Hearing this, Yang Xue's face was full of happiness.

Originally, she wanted to jokingly say that Chen Nian is also very popular here, but when she heard the other party praise her a series of times, these words have long been forgotten.

"You are also very beautiful! And I really like the songs you sing! It's just that I didn't know each other before. When I have a chance, I will definitely ask you for an autograph!" Yang Xue also said with a smile on her face.

"What, it should be me and you who want to sign!"

"Hahaha, it's not that troublesome, I'll let Master Chen take it back for you when the time comes."

But Hongdou shook her head: "That's not okay, you are my idol, I will go to play with you after a while after I finish my work here."

"No problem! When I get familiar with this place, I can take you out shopping. By the way, there is also Miss Xiaoqing, the three of us will go together."

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but asked weakly from the side: "What about me?"

"You, you can wait for us at the hotel." An Hongdou said.

When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little wronged, what's going on with you girls, you've just met!
How did it develop to the point of going shopping together?
At this time, Wang Shuaikai came to Chen Nian and comforted him: "It's okay, little master Chen, after our show is finished, I also plan to stay here for a few days to go out and have fun, then the two of us can go together!"

"no problem!"

　There will be guests tomorrow, but the original two guests are cold, so I plan to use others, do you have any suitable recommendations?
