Food starts with Mapo Tofu

"Sir, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Can you bring me two breakfasts?"

"Yes sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Just a sandwich and milk."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and prepare it for you."

"Thanks for your hard work."

As he spoke, Chen Nian took out a banknote from his pocket and put it into the other party's hand.

"Thank you very much, sir."

"fine."

Then the waiter left, and Chen Nian closed the door and returned to the room. He looked at Hongdou who was sitting by the window: "How was it?"

"The sea is so big. I didn't feel anything special when I was flying before, but now I'm sitting on the ship and I realize how small the ship is compared to the sea."

Chen Nian smiled: "Indeed, the sea is too big. When I was on the boat, I could only go back and forth once a year."

"Have you been a cook on this ship before?"

An Hongdou turned her head and asked, leaning against the wall next to the window.

"Yes, at the beginning I was just the most ordinary cook here, but later I had the opportunity to be the cook in the cabin below. In fact, there are some more powerful people there. I later learned some Fujian cuisine. , I learned from the master named Huang."

"He is your master on this ship?"

After hearing this, Chen Nian shook his head: "That's not true. We are more of friends. Here, my master is Mr. Huo."

"Mr. Huo? Isn't that what Master Huo is in this world..."

"Yes, Master Huo is the executive chef on this ship and is responsible for everything in the restaurant. Although he is Chinese like us, he also knows a lot of foreign dishes, especially seafood.

In addition to him, there are also many great chefs in the kitchen at the top. Some are great at cooking Chinese food, and some are great at cooking Western food. In short, they are all great. "

"Then where should we eat for lunch?"

"Let's go eat down there first. Based on the itinerary of this ship, we will have to stay here for about another week or so before it docks." Chen Nian said, "So we can slowly taste other things later."

Now they are on the Platinum Star. They stayed in Yong'an County for about half a month, and then they woke up and arrived on the ship.

Similarly, although the world has undergone some changes in the story line due to their arrival, the Platinum Star has not stopped operating since then, but still goes back and forth every year.

The two of them also got two tickets, and the room was on the top floor.

"Can you eat all the food in the restaurant in the top room?" An Hongdou asked again.

"Yes, but with my reputation on this ship, it's no problem even if I live at the bottom and want to eat from the top. I just need to tell my master. It's just that it's more comfortable to live above."

An Hongdou couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "This plug-in of yours is really good!"

Chen Nian calmly observed the recipe. When An Hongdou said this, the recipe had no reaction.

"What a lump of wood."

It didn't take long for breakfast to be delivered. Since he had received a tip, the other party was very respectful and said that if you need anything, you can contact him directly.

Chen Nian nodded.

And because I didn't appear on the ship suddenly until the end, my previous experience on this ship has been blurred.

So now, whether it's Master Huo Yanghuo, Master Huang Suhuang, or Chen Nian's old friend Tonyo, none of them know that Chen Nian is on the ship now.

After eating in the morning, they watched the sea in the room for a while, and then Chen Nian took An Hongdou to look around on the boat.

There are many entertainment venues here.

But for those rich people, it may have become commonplace, but for bumpkins like Chen Nian and An Hongdou, everything is novel. Of course, Chen Nian only has previous experience. I think it was the first time he saw it on the ship. It's not as good as red beans in these places.

"Is this the rich man?"

"I've only heard them talk about the lives of rich people before, but this is the first time I've seen them."

Although Hongdou is a star, if he is just singing songs as he is now, he will not be able to reach such a high level.

"Want to play?"

Chen Nian asked as he looked at the casino here.

An Hongdou was a little moved: "Then let's play with a few small ones."

Then they walked around here, found a relatively simple one, took 100 yuan, and made 700 yuan.

Then they hurried away.

"We made a profit, we made a profit of 100 yuan for 700 yuan, and we made a net profit of 600 yuan!"

It ages happily too.

"Do you want to play some more?"

"No, no, that's enough for now. What if I lose all the money I've earned by playing a little longer?"

"Too."

"Come on, let's go eat."

"But it's not even dinner time yet."

"It's okay, the Platinum Star has food available 24 hours a day. Let's eat some snacks first and then have dinner at noon."

"it is good."

Then they came to the restaurant on the third floor.

But as soon as they sat down, the waiter came over to ask them to order, but as soon as they finished speaking, the waiter recognized Chen Nian.

"Mr. Chen, is that you? Mr. Chen?"

The person who spoke was a blond and blue-eyed male waiter.

Chen Nian looked at the other person, and he seemed to have some impression of this person: "Are you...Frederick?"

"Mr. Chen, do you still remember me?"

"Of course." Chen Nian smiled and nodded.

In fact, when we were on the boat, the other party would often come to get food from me.

"Is this your wife?"

"Correct."

Frederick spoke in English at first, but after recognizing Chen Nian, he switched to Chinese. Although he spoke Chinese with a strange accent like most foreigners, he could still speak it.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"A little snack would be nice."

As he said this, Chen Nian handed the menu to An Hongdou. An Hongdou looked at it, selected a few items on it, and handed the menu to him.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, but can I tell the chefs about your arrival?"

"Yes, it's okay." After the other party left, Hong Dou and Chen Nian chatted again: "Do the waiters here know you?"

"Of course, except for the newcomers, all the staff on this ship probably know me. After all, I am Master Huo's apprentice."

"That's awesome. Now I'm really following you around to eat and drink."

"It's okay. We can eat when we need to and drink when we need to. Anyway, it's not our own money we're spending."

They ordered some Chinese snacks.

Not long after, a man came over carrying an exquisite dinner plate, and as he got closer, a familiar voice sounded.

"Master Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you suddenly board the ship this time without saying a word to us?"

Seeing the visitor, Chen Nian also smiled and replied: "Master Huang, you haven't changed at all. We came out for fun this time, so we didn't bother you."

As he spoke, he stood up and helped take the dishes off the plate.

"No, no, no, I'll do it. You're a guest on board this time. How can you let a guest serve his own plate?"

Huang Su said quickly.

"Why are you being polite to me? But Master Huang, is your son married?"

"It's done. Speaking of it, I also want to find an opportunity to thank you. Thanks to you, you gave me so much money that time. Then I built a house in my hometown and had the money to marry my son. But Later they moved to live in the city, so they also bought a suite in the city, and the young couple kept saying that they wanted to meet you and thank you in person."

Chen Nian waved his hand: "No, I have nothing to thank you for. Master Huang, you helped me so much back then. These are all things I should do."

But as he spoke, Chen Nian saw Master Huang's collar again, which looked like the clothes of an upper-level chef: "Master Huang, you have been promoted, but why are you still cooking down here?"

"Didn't I know you were coming? The waiter told me just now that you were here and ordered some Chinese snacks, so I went downstairs to make a meal for you."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's okay. You guys eat first, I have to go back to work."

"Okay, Master Huang, you are busy first, don't worry about me."

After eating snacks here, Chen Nian continued to go shopping with the red beans, but a waiter came over and said that Mr. Huo invited him over.

In this dream space, Master Huo's name is Huo Yang.

After arriving at the office on the top floor, Master Huo was also very happy, and opened his arms to give Chen Nian a hug.

"I lost a little weight."

"No, Master, I've been eating and drinking well lately."

"Of course you don't feel it yourself, but I can still feel it even though I haven't seen you for such a long time."

"Hahaha, Master, your vision is still so vicious." After Chen Nian finished speaking, he pulled Hongdou to his side, "Master, let me introduce to you, this is my wife."

"You look very elegant, and you can tell that you are an artist. What's your name?"

"Hi, master, my name is An Hongdou."

"An Hongdou? The name is not bad either."

"But why didn't you say anything when you came back this time? Do you still think of me as your master?"

Chen Nian complained secretly in his heart that this was arranged by the recipe and not intentional on his own, but he couldn't say this yet.

"Master, I don't want to disturb you."

"What's the point of disturbing you? You are my apprentice, so don't do it again, otherwise I will be angry."

"Sorry, master, there won't be a next time. I'll come find you as soon as I get on the boat next time."

"Okay, this is what you said, but is there anything you want to eat for lunch? I happen to have nothing to do here, so I can cook it for you."

"No, Master, I want to take Hongdou to eat in the restaurant below first, and then come back in a few days."

"That's okay. I'll do another Buddha Jumping Over the Wall before I get off the ship in a while, and I'll arrange a spot for the two of you then."

"Okay, thank you, master."

"Okay, it's good to know that you are on the boat. You go ahead. We will chat together if you are free in the evening. I also want to know how you are doing recently."

"Okay master, let's leave first."

"Well, let's go, but you must have an empty stomach at night, and then come to the kitchen and meet the other masters."

"it is good."

After leaving, An Hongdou suddenly thought that Chen Nian was usually very thoughtful, but when he was in front of these masters, he would become particularly respectful.

"This Master Huo is exactly the same as the Master Huo I know. No matter in appearance or temperament, although he is a chef, he always looks so gentle and gentle."

"Yes, Master Huo is a very particular person, and you are in for a treat this time, Hongdou. The Buddha jumping over the wall made by Master Huo is really unique, and the standard on the Platinum Star is very high. In reality, a Buddha jumping over the wall would be worth at least ten More than ten thousand."

"So expensive? Doesn't that mean that if I eat one bite, it will cost thousands?"

"more or less."

An Hongdou was about to drool just thinking about it.

"I can brag about this for the rest of my life!"

"Look at your worthless look. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will take you to eat the dishes in the palace. Those expensive dishes they eat are truly worth a thousand dollars."

"it is good!"

At noon, I saw Lucas again in the restaurant.

Lucas was the pianist that Chen Nian met on the ship. He was a very good pianist. Lucas was also very happy after seeing Chen Nian. He ran down from the stage and asked Chen Nian if there was anything he wanted to hear. After not seeing him for a long time, this is the best gift I can give him.

Chen Nian thought for a while, and ordered a song that Lucas was best at.

After that, she started to introduce the other party to Hongdou. An Hongdou's eyes lit up after hearing this. This was a great musician. Soon she suggested that after aging, she could let her chat with the other party while he was resting. Have a chat.

"of course can."

"Wow, Chen Nian, you are so good!"

"These are all small things. Lucas is also a very kind person. Do you remember the sheet music I gave to our mother? That was given to me by Lucas."

"No wonder my mother later said that the music score was so powerful that she didn't dare to play the music in it outside."

After lunch, they went back to rest in the afternoon and went to the deck to take a look.

In the evening, Chen Nian took An Hongdou to the kitchen above. After seeing Chen Nian among everyone, Tonio was the happiest.

At that time, he and Chen Nian were good brothers on the boat, they learned from each other and improved each other.

To this day, he still remembers that the gift he gave Totonio before leaving was three hundred Tang poems transcribed by himself, and what Tonio gave him was also a collection of Italian poems transcribed by himself.

Soon the two began to hug each other.

After this dream, Chen Nian learned a lot of Chinese and Western food.

So I quickly started discussing with these masters.

After chatting, Chen Nian ate with the chefs in the kitchen, and then went to Huo Yang's office to chat for a long time before going back to sleep.

"Hongdou, I have a hunch that our scene will not end so soon. After we arrive at the place, I will take you to see my other master."
