Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 649 I Found a Treasure (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

After hearing this number, everyone's mouths couldn't close their mouths in shock, and they couldn't help but lament that rich people are different, and they get 1000 yuan for one bite.

This dish is actually one of the old favorites, and this dish of sea cucumber with scallions was very popular when it was on the Platinum Star.

Therefore, when Chen Nian went to serve the dishes again, he was more proficient in speaking, because he introduced it like this every time before.

Chen Nian's confident introduction made everyone see a different demeanor. If it is said that they have not eaten other dishes in other places, they have eaten sea cucumbers with green onions.

After all, this dish can be regarded as one of the most advanced dishes in Chinese cuisine.

So I also know some stories about sea cucumbers with green onions.

After the dishes were served, Xue Yan touched them with his hands, and the dishes were indeed hot.

Chen Nian was introducing at the moment, he glanced at the other party calmly, and didn't signal to everyone to slow down until he finished speaking.

As the host of the treat, Xue Yan first took a piece of sea cucumber and put it on his own plate. At a glance, the sea cucumber itself had been stewed for a long enough time. All kinds of seasonings and broth are boiled, and the soup has been boiled to a thick level, but it will not be greasy or salty after a bite.

Maybe there are many people who have eaten noodles with scallion oil, but sea cucumber with scallion is much higher than the noodles with scallion oil.

So the taste is richer and deeper.

After chewing slowly, the sea cucumber itself has no taste, but during the long stewing process, the rich seasoning and rich onion fragrance are immersed in it.

This dish is very much in line with what the Chinese people say about the dish itself, to let the ingredients that have their own taste release the taste, and let the ingredients that have no taste to soak in the taste of the ingredients.

During chewing, the sea cucumber is fresh, soft and smooth, with a mellow onion flavor.

"Old Xue, you eat a lot. What's the level of this roasted sea cucumber?" After eating a piece, Xue Yan's companion asked curiously. He could only eat delicious food, but he didn't know how delicious it was. Can't tell.

Xue Yan thought about it for a while, and then put the onion on the plate into his mouth. The onion was stewed until it was extremely soft. Although he usually doesn't eat the onion like this, but if it is cooked well like this dish, he Don't mind getting it in your mouth either.

"The level is very high, but it may be more convincing if we can change to another place. The main reason is that the environment here is really ordinary. When I went to Shandong to discuss business last year, the boss there had already invited me I have eaten it once, but that one is more expensive than this one, but the taste is not much worse."

Xue Yan gave a very high evaluation, because what he said meant that if this dish could be placed in a high-end five-star hotel or some time-honored restaurants, it would be worth more than it is now.

In other words, the dining environment of this restaurant is not worthy of the value of this dish.

Of course this is only for them.

"This boss is definitely not simple. Although he looks young, he has real skills in his hands. Just look at the few dishes we ate just now. None of them were thunderous, and this place is still a family restaurant."

"You mean the big hermits are hidden in the city, and the masters are among the people?"

"That's what it means. Now the circle of chefs is not easy to mix. There are so many various tutorials on the Internet. Even many state banquet chefs come out to post videos for teaching, but the real good things must be in their hands. Hold it, it won't be taken out easily.

So everyone's starting point is getting closer and closer, but the inheritance of the truly powerful chefs is still very powerful. If not, how can they stand out? "

Chen Nian's background was revealed in a few words, but he certainly didn't expect that Chen Nian did have many powerful masters, but they were not from the same era.

"Then it looks like Brother Xue picked up the treasure this time..."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that when Miao Miaowu told me before, he said that he had just finished recording a variety show, and before that, the TV station also asked him to shoot a documentary, and he went to Yangzhou to participate in Huaiyang The dish’s young chef competition came back with No.1.”

"so smart?"

Everyone couldn't help being a little surprised, but in their opinion, it wasn't because Chen Nian was good at the competition, but because Chen Nian had been on TV several times.

"Yeah, it's quite powerful." Xue Yan said as a matter of course: "But I remember all the things you said before, this time I can get along well with Chen Nian, and I will definitely find him for cooking in the future. But how many of you..."

Bitterness appeared on everyone's faces during the conversation: "Brother Xue, please spare us. When I first came in and saw this environment, I think it's the first time I think about it, even if we don't know Can Mount Tai do it? If you can find such a piece of gold from the desert, don’t worry about it with us.”

"Okay." Now Xue Yan stood up.

After tasting the roasted sea cucumbers with scallions, they ate the previous dishes one by one, but today's dishes were relatively bland, and they didn't have much hope when they came, so they didn't drink any wine.

Not feeling completely full after eating.

After thinking about it, he took the menu and ordered a mapo tofu, a pot of meat and a rouge goose breast, and then Xue Yan asked his friend to go to his car to get a bottle of wine, so they ate together He drank while drinking, and only asked people to pay after he was full of wine and food.

It was Feng Honghong who came in originally, but when she saw the situation here, she immediately called Chen Nian over. After all, today these guests ordered not only the following dishes, but also the previous ones.

The prices of those dishes are only known by old age.

When Chen Nian entered the box again, he didn't tell them the price immediately, but asked, "Everyone, how do you feel about today's meal? Is it delicious?"

"It's great, my grandma will definitely like your dishes when she eats them." Xue Yan said with a smile.

What he said meant that Chen Nian had passed the dish test.

"That's good."

At this time, Xue Yan stood up again and asked actively: "Then how much is the total of what we ate today? I will give this money first, and we will talk about how much money will be needed for the subsequent banquet. At that time, I will pay a deposit first, and the rest You'll have to wait until it's over to pay."

Chen Nian nodded, and then glanced at the plates on the table: "A total of 7000 yuan."

When Chen Nian said this number, although he was calm on the surface with a smile on his face, he also had some murmurs in his heart.

This price is still the discounted price. Originally, the three or four dishes cost 7000 or 200 yuan, including the three more dishes they ordered later, but in the end he erased all the change. Wanqi is out, so the [-] yuan and other dishes worth tens of dollars are no big deal.

"Okay, can I swipe my card here?"

"Yes, this way please."

After Chen Nian took the other party to swipe the card on the POS machine, there was no problem when he saw that the money had arrived. After sending a few people out of the hotel, he came back to continue working.

The sea cucumbers left over from the previous aging are basically cut up and shared with everyone. It’s not that they are old-fashioned, but the main reason is that the sea cucumbers are specially purchased brands, and the quality is relatively guaranteed. It costs 1000 yuan a piece.

If there is one root per person, that is really a lot of money.

Simply everyone can cut a piece and taste it.

Anyway, it was just a test dish.

And Xiao Jing outside asked how much these people spent after eating in a low voice.

At this time, there were not as many people in the store as before, so Chen Nian told the other party in a low voice: "They are here to try the dishes today, you should have asked Miao Miaowu, they tried three dishes in total just now, ten thousand 7000 two hundred yuan, and I also ordered three dishes and a few bowls of rice, but in the end I gave him the change, and only charged [-]."

Hearing this number, Xiao Jing was dumbfounded.

"Three dishes? Seventeen thousand?"

"Farewell, after all, I'm the one to climb!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jing turned his head and left.

Although he also recorded this passage, he didn't plan to release it. After all, this is Chen Nian's privacy, and the release of this kind of thing will definitely make Chen Nian suffer some criticism.

But even so, the more time passed, the more he felt that he couldn't understand Chen Nian. Originally, he felt that Chen Nian was completely in line with the talented young chef in his mind.

But until now, the grades of the dishes made by Chen Nian are getting higher and higher, and there seems to be no dishes that Chen Nian can't make at all, which makes him doubt himself more and more.

Xiao Jing is a gourmet account, and he is also looking for transformation during this time. In addition to exploring restaurants, he also began to try to cook some difficult dishes.

Although he already had a direction and started to try, but now he has found a direction that is more suitable for him.

That is to not blindly pursue the complexity of cooking steps in terms of difficulty, but to start from the first step.

For example, making beef balls is done entirely by hand.

Coconut oil is made directly from coconuts, and donkey skin donkey-hide gelatin cakes are made from donkey skins that have just been pulled out, and silver buds are inlaid with meat and so on.

Although it is more laborious, it only requires a little hard work, and after it is done, it is mainly the audience who love to watch it.

After all, everyone is a happy person. Seeing the anchor suffering, they are naturally happy.

And Xiao Jing has already thought about it, after finishing these things, he can't finish them anyway, and then he can cooperate with some other grandmas.

And these things can be taken as gifts.

In this way, there will be new traffic again. As long as you grasp the rhythm well, you can always catch the fans' hearts and make them never get tired of watching it.

In the middle, I will participate in some official programs and receive several business orders every month, so that I can make a lot of money every month.

And this time Xiao Jing also just came back from participating in the event.

"Oh, if only I could be like Boss Chen, this is the real ability to eat." Xiao Jing thought of Chen Nian on the way home, feeling extremely envious.

Although he earns a lot now, he knows that he is actually just an Internet celebrity in others' mouths.

That is to say, he has entered this industry now, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. In the past, he still resisted this industry.

After all, he also came from a major in art, and he used to call himself an artist.

"No, I still can't throw these away. I have studied art since elementary school. After studying for such a long time, I ended up giving up my previous dreams and hobbies because of making money from making videos..."

Xiao Jing thought in his mind that Boss Chen made the store so big, someone must have talked to him about franchising or opening a branch, but until now Boss Chen still sticks to his post.

Even if he is famous on the Internet, even if he has been on TV, he has not given up on this business since then, and he still cooks dishes for customers in the store every day.

In this way, Xiao Jing seemed to have found some things that he had lost during this period of time.

Of course, Chen Nian didn't know that Xiao Jing came to have a meal and had a new understanding of life, and he was still busy in the kitchen.

After the test dishes are finished, he has to cook for the guests in the store.

Many people would ask Chen Nian where he had been during this time when they came, but Chen Nian didn't say much, he just said that he was on a business trip and learned something new.

In this way, after getting off work at night, Chen Nian still stayed in the kitchen thinking about what to cook tonight.

Yesterday I made chicken shredded cold noodles, which tasted very good, and I also met a little brother who is going to school.

I looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and found some inspiration.

There is also a piece of beef in it, and there are many ways to make beef, but Chen Nian didn't really want to eat beef today, but soon he saw that there were still a few chicken legs.

"What can you do with chicken thighs?"

"Chicken Noodles? Teriyaki Chicken Chop? Drool Chicken? Fried Chicken Chop? Spicy Chicken..." After much deliberation, Chen Nian finally decided to make spicy chicken.

Spicy chicken is also a very famous Sichuan dish, and one of the originators of Jianghu cuisine in Chongqing, but it is more famous in Chongqing.

"Let's just do this. How can there be no spicy chicken in a Sichuan restaurant?" Some thoughts never come back once they arise.

Originally, he thought that the next dish in the restaurant would be Fujian cuisine, or Shandong cuisine, but now as soon as the words "spicy chicken" appeared, he immediately decided to make spicy chicken as the next new dish.

All kinds of ingredients needed for spicy chicken are available in the store.

And for meat, it is best to use chicken thighs, because the most active parts of chickens are the neck, wings and legs.

Therefore, when eating chicken, most people like to eat these three parts most.

When many dishes are made at home, sometimes chicken legs are replaced by chicken breasts, because chicken breasts do not need to be processed, and chicken legs have to be deboned if they want to use them. Deboning is a job for skilled workers It might not be that complicated and take a few minutes to get the bone back, but it's still a hassle for most people.

Just do what you say, now that you have decided to make spicy chicken, you will take out the chicken after aging, and prepare to start the first step of deboning.
