Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 766

In the next few days, Chen Nian had two meals with Ke Jie and the others, and then had dinner with his senior and former roommates. After making some connections, he returned to Chengdu.

Just after Chen Nian returned to Chengdu, he heard that it was snowing in BJ, and it was the first snow this year.

However, Chen Nian himself has no regrets. On the contrary, he is a little lucky. Although the first snow in the Forbidden City is worth seeing, Chen Nian went to see it when he was in school before, and almost didn't get a ticket at that time.

After that, if Chen Nian wants to go there, he has to go with Hongdou. They all have girlfriends. What's the point of going to see it alone?
And another point is that if the old plane happens to be on a snowy day, there is a high probability that the flight will be delayed or cancelled.

This time, I went to BJ for the old age mainly to discuss cooperation matters, and by the way, get to know fellow chefs who will go to Chef King to compete for hegemony.

After returning home, Chen Nian first put down some souvenirs he bought from BJ this time, and then took out some gifts for everyone from his bag.

Chen Nian bought a scarf for his mother and second aunt, which were the same style but different colors.

I brought two bottles of 30-year-old Niulanshan to my uncle.

The reason why I bring two bottles is because only two bottles are allowed in the plane consignment, and even if it is, it must be packed in an individually wrapped foam box.

For my cousin, I brought back a pair of sunglasses of the same style as the star.

"There are gifts." Everyone laughed from ear to ear after seeing the gifts, while the second aunt complained about why Chen Nian wasted money again.

"You're going to get married soon, and you're still buying such expensive things. If you have money and nowhere to spend it, save it in the bank and use it to buy a house or a car in the future."

Originally, Feng Honghong should have said this, but now that Chen Nian brought everyone presents, Feng Honghong had no choice but to persuade her second sister, saying that these things were not much money, and they were all the child's wishes.

"What else do I have?" After seeing the two bottles of wine, the aged second uncle grinned from ear to ear, "This wine is good. I heard that people in BJ like to drink Niulanshan. I used to I haven't even drank it, after I go back this time, or just spend the New Year at our house, let's open these two bottles of wine and drink it."

Hearing this, Chen Nian didn't say anything, but looked at his mother.

When Feng Honghong went back this time, she actually planned to take a look at her old mother, and then to visit her old grandparents.

But now there are only the two of them left in their family. Although they have a house to live in their hometown, it is still too deserted for the two of them to celebrate the New Year, so after thinking about it, they agreed.

"Okay, second brother-in-law, just don't think we are troublesome." Feng Honghong said.

"No trouble, what's the trouble here, we are all on our own, let alone me, Second Sister Ni would also like you to come and live in my house, when the time comes for our two families to celebrate the New Year together, how lively will it be?"

"It's really lively."

In this way, they chatted for a while, and Chen Nian began to make preparations for lunch, because they planned to leave in the afternoon and go back earlier to tidy up the house earlier.

After all, it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and the glass at home has not been wiped.

After eating at noon, Chen Nian and his mother pasted up the couplets bought by the second uncle when he went out shopping in advance, and then moved the things to be brought back to the uncle's car, and the uncle drove back.

Chen Nian's hometown is in a county below ZY City, and his mother is also from that county, but in different towns, but the towns on both sides are next to each other.

After returning, they first went to the second aunt's house in the county town.

The second aunt's house is a community building bought in the county seat, and lives on the third floor.

There are three rooms in the house, one is lived by the second aunt and second uncle, another is lived by the cousin, and the other is lived by Chen Nian's cousin.

When they came back, the cousin was not at home, because Lu Xiao had opened a cake shop here before, and later transferred it to his cousin in order to go to Chengdu. Lu Xiao kept some shares.

So the owner of this store became his cousin, but after taking over, the business is also good. The previous price and taste have been continued, and the customers have bought it. In addition, they are all from the same store. So many people buy it every day.

After returning this time, my mother lived in the same room with my cousin, and Chen Nian lived in the same room with my cousin.

The relationship between this cousin and Chen Nian is also good. Because the two families are in frequent contact, Chen Nian used to live with his cousin at his second aunt's house every time he came back from vacation, or his cousin came to live with him at his own house.

In other words, he and this cousin have slept together since childhood.

"Rarui, haven't you come back yet?"

"Well, he should still be in the store now, and it will be closed in two days."

Chen Nian nodded.

After packing up his things like this, Chen Nian stayed at home with nothing to do, just when Lu Xiao asked him to go outside for a walk, Chen Nian readily agreed.

But it was said to be out for a walk, but in fact Chen Nian took his cousin around the county town on an electric scooter, sighed about the changes in his hometown during this period, and then came directly to the store.

"Brother, when did you come back?"

After seeing Chen Nian, Lu Rui asked in surprise!
"I just came back in the afternoon, and I took my uncle's car, but it looks like you're quite busy here."

"Yeah, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are more people shopping." Lu Rui said, "And usually my mother will come over to help. Didn't she and my father go to you these few days? In the store I'm the only one left, I'm so busy, I'm busy in the back."

"It's pretty good. If you're busy, it means you're making money."

"That's true."

After chatting for a few words, Chen Nian thought he had nothing to do anyway, so he also went in to help his cousin start selling things.

Today's business is really good. Although it can't compare with the cake shop opened by Lu Xiao in Chengdu, it is quite good in the county.

In just a short while, more than 1000 yuan worth of things were sold in the store.

After waiting until everything was sold out, they packed up the store and returned home together.

When they got home, the meal was ready, and the two families sat at the table and chatted.

After eating, Lu Rui asked Chen Nian to play games together.

"Brother, let's play a game."

"Okay, what game?"

"Eat chicken."

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded, and then got on the number.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be quite powerful. You found a celebrity girlfriend. Why didn't she come back with you this time? Didn't you say that you have already met your parents?"

Chen Nian smiled: "What are you doing now? I have met the parents and they are not married yet. They have gone back to Jiangsu first, and they will spend it with us during the Chinese New Year next year."

"That's great, I wish you an early baby."

"Haha, I will borrow your good words, but we don't plan to have children so early, we will talk about it later when we travel around the world."

"It's okay, so will you take the children with you in the future?" Lu Rui said.

"That's so inconvenient. Why do you need to bring an oil bottle when you can play with two people? It's another thing to take the child out to play after you have a child, but you're just talking about me here, and now you Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes, she works in the county government, a civil servant."

"That's not bad, the job is stable, and it's also close. You can buy a house in the county in the future, and you don't need to spend so much."

"That's right, that's what the two of us are planning now. I'm running a cake shop now, and when I save some money, I'll open another branch or do some other business."

They also logged into their own accounts while talking: "It's just the two of us, brother, sister-in-law, are you playing games? I'll call my girlfriend too, and the four of us can form a team."

"Let me ask."

Then Chen Nian sent a WeChat message to Hongdou, asking if he wanted to play games together, and it didn't take long for Hongdou to reply.

"Wait for me for a minute, and get on the number immediately."

In this way, the four of them started playing games, but An Hongdou and Lu Rui's girlfriends were not very skilled, so they basically followed them.

But An Hongdou was very happy when he heard Lu Rui and his girlfriend yelling at each other, and asked them if they wanted any good things they found.

We played until about 10:30 in the evening. An Hongdou said that she still had something to do, so she couldn't play together, and the rest of them broke up.

"Brother, will you be married in Chengdu when the time comes?"

"It should be done in Chengdu. When the time comes, call all the family members over."

"Then I must go."

"You must come. What do you say if you don't come? I still want to ask you to be my best man."

"That's no problem!" Lu Rui agreed immediately.

"But speaking of it, time flies really fast. You will be married in a blink of an eye. Brother, how much dowry do you want for sister-in-law?"

"There's not much bride price, just make up your mind, but you have to buy a car and a house. Your brother and I are working hard to make money now, and we should be able to implement these two by next year."

"Okay, brother, if you don't have enough money then, just tell me. Although I don't have much, brother, I will definitely be able to scrape together a hundred thousand and eighty thousand."

"Then I will rely on you."

"No problem, just open your mouth when the time comes, I have to wait another two or three years to get married."

With that said, they chatted about their childhood again.

"Brother, do you remember that once when you were young, you came back from summer vacation and we lived together. It was very hot that night. In order to cool off, I brought a bowl of water back and splashed it on my body with my hands. In the end, you flicked it. It was too much and half a bowl of water was poured on me, which made my underpants wet.

The balcony where I put my clothes was on my parents' side, and I didn't dare to run over there, so I could only put my pants on the doorknob and sleep naked all night? "

"Hahaha, of course I remember, how can I forget such a thing?"

"And you beat me when I was young, but you were three years older than me and grew faster than me. I couldn't reach you with one hand on my neck. I was so angry that I cried all night and was beaten the next day. My dad scolded me and apologized to you again."

Chen Nian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he did remember this incident, but he also forgot the specific reason why he hit his cousin, he only remembered that his cousin probably did something to offend him.

"It's okay to remember the previous incident, but I didn't expect that you still remember the grudge? This is my fault. I will treat you to dinner when I go out tomorrow. You can eat whatever you want!" Chen Nian said.

"Hey, there's nothing to hold grudges about, and you're back, how can you treat me to dinner? I'll treat you when I go out tomorrow. Although our place is small, we still have food. Brother, you are now Chef, I just hope you won't be picky when the time comes."

Just like that, the two of them lay in bed talking about the past one night, and fell asleep while talking.

But my cousin still sleeps dishonestly as before.

When he fell asleep, he rolled to Chen Nian's side. Chen Nian was so crowded that he had no place to sleep.

This reminded Chen Nian that Lu Rui was like this when he was a child. He would put his arms or legs on his body when he fell asleep. Usually, when this happened, Chen Nian would just move his cousin's legs down, but sometimes A vintage is really unbearable.

In the dark, he secretly pinched Lu Rui's leg, which woke Lu Rui up in pain. He sat up screaming and looked around, and found that Chen Nian was sleeping. In a dream, continue to lie down and sleep.

Who knows that Chen Nian started to pretend to be asleep after doing bad things.

While thinking about these things when he was a child, Chen Nian chatted with An Hongdou, and it didn't take long for him to feel sleepy.

"Haha, no problem, I'll make it for you when I get back." After Chen Nian sent this message to Hongdou, he wanted to put down his phone, closed his eyes and waited for the message from Hongdou to come back, but as soon as he put down the phone, Chen Nian directly Fell asleep.

"Okay."

"By the way, Chen Nian, is it cold in your hometown? It's still a little cold here in winter, but it's okay if I turn on the air conditioner."

"Old age?"

"are you asleep?"

"Okay, good night."

……

the next day.

"Hey, where's my phone?!"

"Why can't I find my phone?"

After Chen Nian woke up, he couldn't find where his mobile phone was. Then he got under the bed and took a look, and found that the mobile phone was lying quietly under the bed.

I picked it up and pressed it, and found that the phone was dead and turned off. I was busy chatting yesterday and forgot to charge it.

So Chen Nian charged the phone again, then looked outside and it was still dark, lay down on the bed for a while, waited until the phone was charged to about 20%, unplugged the charger, got dressed and went out for a run.

When I came back, I found that my second aunt had woken up and was making noodles in the kitchen.

"When did you go out?" Second Aunt asked curiously.

"I got up early. I stayed at home and had nothing to do. I went out for a run. Otherwise, I'm used to getting up early and not doing anything in the morning, so I'm not used to it. Second aunt, what are you doing?"

"I'll steam some buns."

"I know how to make buns, Second Aunt, I'll make them with you."

"Okay." Then Chen Nian also went to wash his hands and went to help in the kitchen.
