Chen Nian galloped all the way, and finally stopped smoothly at the entrance of Honghong Hotel, and then handed the store key to Hongdou.

Go to the side and park by yourself.

"What new dishes are you going to make besides noodles today?" An Hongdou asked curiously.

"Xiaolongbao." Chen Nian didn't show off and told the other party the answer straightforwardly.

"This is great. I like eating Xiao Long Bao very much! For a period of time, I would buy a basket of Xiao Long Bao to eat every day. Once when I was having breakfast, after finishing one basket, I found that I still wanted to eat it, but I ended up having to eat it again.

After a cage, I finally felt uncomfortable all morning." An Hongdou recalled.

But looking at Hongdou now, even if she felt uncomfortable eating Xiao Long Bao before, it didn't affect her love for Xiao Long Bao.

"My current Xiaolongbao is still in the experimental stage. I made it once yesterday, and today I have some improvement plans. It is probably several versions away from being able to be served on the table," Chen Nian said.

Give He Hongdou a vaccination in advance, otherwise the other person's previous impression of him was that he cooks delicious food. If what he cooks this time is not satisfactory, he will feel disappointed.

"Then are these versions of yours large or small?" An Hongdou asked curiously, revealing his gamer nature with just one mouthful.

"There will be at most one major version, and the rest should be minor version updates." Chen Nian thought for a moment and then said.

But while he was talking, he came to the kitchen, washed his hands clean, and then wiped his hands carefully with a dry towel, even between the fingers and nails.

Although you may get scabs on your hands when kneading the dough, Chen Nian still needs to make sure that his hands are clean before cooking, so that the food that the guests eat will naturally be clean.

Clean.

That's what cooking is like. Even if a chef cooks in the back kitchen and adds something to the pot, the customers may not be able to eat it, but as long as he does that, he no longer deserves to be called a chef.

There are also some fast food restaurants that have appeared in the news that use expired ingredients to cook, completely ignore kitchen hygiene, and have sewage flowing across the ground. I also feel contempt from the bottom of my heart.

His purpose is to do your best if you can do it, and if you can't do it, don't do it. Even if you make money, you can't make unscrupulous money. There are so many industries in the world, and it doesn't have to be catering.

But more often than not, he can't take care of others and can only take care of himself first.

After Chen Nian washed his hands, he started to make the bun fillings. This time, he put the meat filling, light soy sauce, salt and other seasonings and ingredients into the basin and stirred them evenly. Then he added an appropriate amount of water.

After adding water and aging, I found that the filling was indeed much thinner, and after a certain period of soaking and absorption, the final steamed bun filling will definitely be more tender and juicy than the first time.

The bun fillings are prepared and covered with plastic wrap.

Then put it in the refrigerator to chill.

Refrigeration is for better flavor.

An Hongdou watched the whole process next to Chen Nian, chatting with Chen Nian from time to time. Although Chen Nian was busy with his hands, his mouth was also not idle.

An Hongdou looked at Chen Nian and took out the flour, remembered his childhood, sighed and said: "When I first started working, I also thought that I could cook some food at home occasionally, so I bought some

Cutlery, and bought noodles and rice.

One day I suddenly wanted to eat noodles, but it was too hot outside and I didn’t want to go out to buy noodles, so I prepared to make them myself. The result was just like what the joke said, if there is too much water, add noodles, if there are too many noodles, add more water, and finally it comes out.

A whole big lump."

Listening to Hongdou telling his embarrassing story, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little funny: "What happened next? Was it successful? You shouldn't be able to finish all the noodles in one meal, right?"

"It should have been a success. Anyway, in the end I made them into noodles and put them in the pot. After cooking them, I found that they were quite delicious. As for the remaining dough... I made some of them into noodles and put them in the refrigerator, and some of them were fried.

It turned into a cake, but even so there was still a lot of dough left. I wanted to put it in the refrigerator to wait for next time, but then I gradually forgot about it. When I thought about it again, the dough had already grown.

Got green hair."

"It's a pity, but I was almost the same as you when I first tried cooking." Chen Nian said.

"Isn't it possible? Your cooking is so delicious, how can it be as good as mine?" An Hongdou couldn't believe it.

“It wasn’t half a year ago when I first learned to cook, it was half a year ago when I was preparing to open a restaurant.

When I was in college, I would compete with my dad on my cooking skills every time I came back from vacation. But at that time, we were competing on dark cuisine, including the black goat baby you ate last time. I was there too.

It was developed after several years of research.”

Speaking of this past memory, An Hongdou also had a very deep impression in his heart: "But to be honest, that dish was quite delicious, if you don't consider its appearance... Of course, for a Cthulhu lover like me,

This dish is simply a surprise.”

"That's because I met the right person. You must know that my parents didn't even eat a bite after seeing this dish, and my dad took my mom to a hotel to stay for a day on the spot." Chen Nian said helplessly.

Hearing this, An Hongdou started laughing, covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing, but how could she control her emotions so easily?

Ke An Hongdou smiled and suddenly remembered another memory.

"By the way, Chen Nian, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have eaten steamed three smells at your place before. Is this also a dark dish you made at that time?"

"No, steamed three smelly dishes. This dish was originally made by my dad. He seemed to have learned it when he traveled to Shaoxing. Later, I learned from him. I still remember the first taste of the dish you ate at that time.

I vomited immediately." Song Yueming also remembers this experience vividly.

"Haha, didn't I think the tofu was spoiled... and I ate it later, but if you eat it, this dish is actually quite delicious and goes well with the meal, but to be honest, for me personally, I only eat it once in a while

It’s okay to eat it as a novelty, but if you eat it as a home-cooked meal, it may be a bit unacceptable.”

An Hongdou's opinion deeply agreed with Chen Nian.

"But didn't you compete with your uncle on your cooking skills like this at that time? Uncle made steamed three-smells, so what did you make?"

"Garlic breaded fish." Even now, I still remember the name of that dish very clearly, because when I think about it now, the smell still penetrates my nose like maggots attached to the bone.

"Doesn't it sound very dark? And to be honest, I still want to try it a little bit..." An Hongdou was thinking about the dark dishes he had eaten here three times before.

And to be honest, these three dishes are actually quite good, especially the bean juice has a very pure taste, and the smell is quite right.

Although the black goat cubs look strange, they taste sour and sweet.

So she subconsciously thought that this garlic breaded fish was one of those dishes that looked or smelled like dark cuisine, but tasted particularly delicious.

Then he asked curiously: "What ingredients are you using for this dish?"

"Bean juice, stinky tofu juice, canned herring, Laoshan snake grass water, sour bamboo shoots, black garlic..." Although it has been so long, talking about this dish is still a treasure.

An Hongdou's expression changed as he listened.

Is this cooking?

This is obviously a scam!

"I didn't expect you to be so rebellious sometimes." An Hongdou couldn't help but sigh, as if he had re-recognized Chen Nian.

After all, it’s not easy to survive until now after making something like this at home.

"Your parents really love you..." An Hongdou said seriously.

"Yes, I have always felt that my parents were very good to me, but even so, I was locked up at home for several days. During those days, my parents stayed in hotels, and the money they spent was still mine. Living expenses for the next semester.

In order to get rid of those smells, I bought dozens of packs of activated carbon, five kilograms of tea specially used to remove the smell, and ten pots of green baskets.

When the smell finally dissipated, the green radish was already dying."

An Hongdou laughed so hard that her stomach ached when she listened to this very flavorful and immersive description. She herself had a very low point of laughter, and coupled with the vivid and vivid description, An Hongdou couldn't help it at all.

"But in the end, the smell at home was gone, but the smell on my body was still there. I had to wash in the bathroom at home for two hours, but I could still smell the smell faintly after I came out. Finally, I had to go to the bathhouse. I soaked in it for a whole day and my whole body was almost swollen. Finally, I asked a back rub master to give me a good rub to get rid of the smell."

"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm going to die laughing... Why are you so cute..."

"Cute?" Chen Nian thought to himself, could he be considered cute like this?

He even felt that if he were not the son of Feng Honghong and Lao Chen, he might have been kidnapped and sent to the police station on the spot.

"Yeah, when I thought about you happily cooking your breaded fish dish, you ended up being locked up at home to clean up. In the end, you tried hard to wash yourself, but you found that you still smelled, so you had to soak in the bathhouse. After that, I went to the back rub master, and I thought it was cute how I had to grit my teeth to endure the pain."

Chen Nian thought, had An Hongdou quietly awakened to some attribute?

But while they were chatting, Chen Nian's face also made peace.

After the dough is mixed, it needs to be left to rise for a period of time. This time, in addition to adding water, flour, salt, and yeast, sweet baking powder is also added.

"You said you wanted to eat beef noodles this afternoon, so I left some for you. When the buns are almost ready, how about I cook the noodles for you? Are you hungry now?"

"I'm okay. I had a late lunch and didn't go out in the afternoon. I stayed at home all day. I feel okay now."

"Then I'll make the noodles later, and then we'll eat the noodles and steamed buns together."

"no problem."

Just wait for the time to pass minute by minute, until the dough rises and the filling is fully flavored.

Chen Nian then started preparing the buns.

After yesterday's attempt, Chen Nian is now more proficient at making buns.

Although the speed is still a bit slow, at least the buns produced are of a decent quality.

An Hongdou looked at the aged buns and couldn't help but feel itchy for a moment.

"Can I pack a few?"

"Of course." Chen Nian nodded, "But can you make Xiao Long Bao?"

"No, I only know how to make dumplings and wontons. Our family used to make these two things a lot, but I rarely make steamed buns. I usually eat them from relatives or buy them out, so I haven't learned how to make them."

Some Hongdou said, "But I think it's not difficult for you to wrap it up. I'll be fine if you teach me a little bit."

"OK."
