Breakfast is served in the hotel in the morning. Hotel guests can use their room card to receive breakfast coupons, and then use the breakfast coupons to eat on the first floor.

The two of them took their meal tickets to the hotel restaurant. They originally thought that the breakfast here would be a buffet like the breakfast in other hotels.

But after arriving here, Chen Nian discovered that the breakfast in this hotel was actually freshly made, except for milk, soy milk, steamed eggs, purple sweet potatoes and other foods.

It also provides noodles, fried rice, rice noodles, tofu curd, etc.

And these are all freshly made, including steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, egg-filled pancakes, hand pancakes, etc.

But he had eaten these things for a long time, so he didn't think there was anything strange about them. What he was paying attention to was the local Yangzhou specialty noodles on another window.

There are many types of dishes on the menu, but in the end, Chen Nian settled on shrimp roe wontons, dumpling noodles, and dry mixed noodles.

I have done some research on aging before. These three items are considered local specialties and what old Yangzhou people eat in the morning.

"What are you going to eat?" At this time, An Hongdou also looked around, and finally came to the same window, and asked Chen Nian, who had been standing here for a while.

"I plan to eat them one by one. Since we are going to stay here for a while anyway, we will definitely be able to finish the breakfast here."

An Hongdou looked at the menu above again at this time. The first dish was dry noodles.

"That's it, then I'll order some dry noodles too." An Hongdou said, but she had been to Yangzhou before, so after ordering a portion of dry noodles, she said to the window: "

Master, please have another bowl of kidney flower soup."

"Kidney soup? What is that?"

"This is the favorite breakfast combination of old Yangzhou people. It is simple, quick and delicious. Yesterday we just went to Dongguan Street, but if you walk around the streets and alleys of the old city, you can see that there are dry food everywhere.

Noodle shop, and goose cart.”

After hearing this, Chen Nian also said to the window: "Hello, I also want a bowl of kidney flower soup."

Soon the noodles were ready, but just like the scallion oil noodles made before, there were still some shrimp roe in the current bowl of noodles, and the color of soy sauce was evenly wrapped on the noodles.

As for the kidney flower soup on the side, it also looks good. A few generous slices of thick-cut kidney flower are put into the bowl, and there are also some green vegetables garnished. The light brown crystal soup is very appetizing.

Each person brought the food to the table with a tray.

Chen Nian looked at the bowl of noodles. The noodles were round Su-style thin noodles, which were thinner than Lanzhou Ramen. Chen Nian knew that when he was in Shanghai, Shanghai was very close to Suzhou.

And later when we were in Kunshan, the distance was even closer.

This kind of noodles is made of high-gluten flour with alkaline noodles, eggs and refined salt, but the proportion must be adjusted well. If the noodles are too dry, the noodles will have little elasticity, but if they are too wet, they will be a little sticky.

Sticky.

It's okay to say it's sticky, but what's even worse is that if the dough is too soft, it won't be able to be pulled into such a thin shape.

The main seasoning of this bowl of noodles is still soy sauce, but Chen Nian smells that the soy sauce seems to be different from the soy sauce he made before. From the faint fragrance of this bowl of noodles, Chen Nian seems to smell some shrimp.

smell.

Apparently shrimp roe is added to this soy sauce.

While it's hot, mix it up quickly, and the color of the soy sauce will evenly cover every inch of the skin of each noodle.

During the mixing process, the flavor continued to come out, which made Chen Nian feel pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he could eat food of this level even for breakfast in a hotel.

Mr. Liu is very understanding and chose such a hotel that suits his taste.

And Chen Nian also decided that he would definitely stay here next time he comes back.

Then Chen Nian picked up a chopstick and put the noodles into his mouth, sucking in all the noodles with a slight suction.

At this moment, Chen Nian could also taste the thin layer of lard attached to the noodles, which made the noodles so smooth.

More often than not, adding meat oil when making dry noodles will enhance the taste of the bowl of noodles by several levels.

On this point, Chen Nian has a lot of say. The lard used in the scallion oil noodles usually sold in Honghong Restaurant is cooked by Chen Nian himself. Later, he taught the recipe of scallion oil noodles to

After He Hai, this task naturally falls on He Hai.

But in this bowl of dry noodles, apart from the lard and noodles themselves, the most intuitive flavor is the soy sauce.

There are also some mysteries in the aging of this soy sauce. This is not just adding some seasonings to the soy sauce, stirring it evenly and then pouring it into it. If nothing else, this soy sauce should have survived.

While cooking, add seasonings such as shrimp roe, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc. to it.

After tasting it carefully, I found that some parsley seemed to be added to the soy sauce.

In short, after taking a sip of it, Chen Nian discovered that this soy sauce must have been carefully brewed, otherwise it would never taste like this.

And the selection of this soy sauce is probably a bit particular.

Because soy sauce is also graded, when you buy soy sauce, there will be an ingredient listed separately in the ingredient list on the bottle. The name of this ingredient is amino acid nitrogen. The higher the content, the higher the quality of the soy sauce.

high.

Generally speaking, 0.4 grams or more of amino acid nitrogen per 100 ml is considered good.

If it cannot even reach 0.4 grams, this kind of aged soy sauce will generally not be used.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" An Hongdou did not move his chopsticks after mixing it, but looked at Chen Nian and took a bite before asking.

"It's delicious! This soy sauce is made very carefully, try it and see." Chen Nian recommended seriously.

An Hongdou couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this, but after all, it was not like she had never eaten with Chen Nian before. There were not many foods that could be praised by Chen Nian.

And if Chen Nian says it is delicious, it must be delicious.

So I picked up a few noodles with chopsticks and put them into my mouth. I puffed my mouth and sucked them gently. The noodles quickly penetrated into An Hongdou's mouth, and then there was a burst of chewing.

“It’s really delicious! I’ve been to Yangzhou many times before and have eaten dry noodles, but the ones I’ve eaten at those internet celebrity restaurants are not as delicious as the ones made in this hotel!”

When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Internet celebrities are just famous on the Internet. Going to a place like this to eat is like a scratch-off ticket."

An Hongdou thought thoughtfully when he heard this: "You mean that eating at an Internet celebrity restaurant depends entirely on luck. If you encounter something delicious, you will be considered a winner. If it doesn't taste good, is that normal?"

"Absolutely... I've seen many people buy 1,000 scratch-off tickets on the Internet before, and the final scratch-offs are only about 600 to 700."

"And it's like going to an amusement park to catch dolls. Others come here to eat and think it's not delicious, and then post the unpleasant truth online. This is equivalent to advancing money for others.

But if you were to do this, it would be equivalent to helping others advance money.

There are so many online celebrity stores on the market. After you have advanced the money a certain number of times, you will be able to see many review posts on the Internet, and then carefully screen out which ones are soft-text advertisements and which ones are spontaneous by customers.

publicity, so that you won’t get into trouble when you go out to eat in the future.”

Chen Nian explained the truth, and An Hongdou also understood what Chen Nian meant.

"But how should we define an Internet celebrity store? Literally speaking, as long as it is a very popular store on the Internet, it will be called an Internet celebrity store."

When Chen Nian heard this, he drank another spoonful of pork loin flower soup. The kidney flowers were cleaned and tasted very good, which combined with the saltiness and freshness of the soy sauce itself.

"Internet celebrity stores should focus on marketing. They do large-scale publicity, just like some fans list their favorite celebrities, and produce various data. Moreover, this kind of store has several characteristics.

Except for a few neutral reviews, the reviews are generally quite polarizing.

Another characteristic is that this kind of store generally has not been open for a long time. Under such overwhelming publicity, you can make a quick profit. After people become familiar with it, the ones who accept it will survive. Those who are more and more popular will survive.

The ones that became increasingly deserted slowly closed their doors and ran away.”

"And this kind of brand is actually promoted by someone behind it. There is usually a company behind these Internet celebrity stores. What they earn is the franchise money. As long as the money is received, what happens next is none of their business.

Anyway, with so many franchise stores, there must be some that make money and some that don’t. If you don’t make money but others do, it can only be because you can’t run it yourself.”

An Hongdou obviously didn't expect that there were so many doorways in it, no wonder...

As far as she knows, in the circle she is in, many celebrities will choose to open franchise stores after they have accumulated a certain degree of popularity and built a fan base.

Most of them are hot pot restaurants, because hot pot has a wider audience, and if the price is right, there will be an endless stream of people going to eat for the celebrities themselves.

If the influence of this celebrity signboard is greater than the influence of the hotel itself, it can generally be called an Internet celebrity store.

As for these brands, they will explode in the future, and there will be countless counterattacks by franchisees.

But these have nothing to do with them. They can go to whichever restaurant is delicious. This is their purpose. And even if Chen Nian says this, it is actually just out of his understanding of this industry. But if he really wants to

It is difficult for him to judge the quality of a restaurant's reputation without eating it. After all, everyone's taste is different. Even if he owns a red restaurant and searches online, there are still many people who say it is not delicious.

Not used to it.

But no matter what, today's breakfast can be said to be quite satisfying.

Moreover, this soy sauce recipe also opened the door to a new world for Chen Nian. He decided to improve the scallion noodles in the store when he returned.

But even if it is improved, you still have to try it for a few days to see the response. If the response is good, use the new one. If the response is mediocre, use the old one for aging.

After eating, they put their plates in the place where the plates were recycled, and then went back to tidy up. They brought power banks, headphones, wallets, ID cards, masks and other necessary items before going downstairs.

.

At this time, there was a commercial vehicle waiting at the door of the hotel, and now they were going to the photography base.

They have to shoot part of the scene there, so they have to change clothes and put on makeup there.

Not long after they arrived at their destination, the commercial vehicle drove directly in and finally stopped at the door of a three-story building.

After saying thank you, they opened the door and got out of the car. As soon as they got out of the car, they heard the noise inside.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a waiting assistant, who took them to a room on the second floor.

"Sister An, this is also where you do your makeup. The fitting room is next door. There is an internal telephone on the table. If you need anything, just call it."
