Chapter 45 Mapo Tofu from 40 years ago

Of course, Chen Nian didn't know about this at the first time.

Because when the other party woke up in the morning, Chen Nian was already busy preparing dishes.

The video of Miao Miao Wu has been released, and Chen Nian knew that a large number of people would come to eat at noon today.

After all, my place is not a big hotel. Many people who live in Chengdu but are far away from my place cannot go to my place every day.

So they can only learn about it through videos.

As of morning, the video views of Magical Witch had exceeded 2 million.

Even if one-thirtieth of them are from Chengdu.

That's about 60,000.

Even if only one in two or three thousand of them will come, there are still twenty or thirty.

Including the people who came here every day at noon, it is estimated that more than a hundred people came here to buy food today.

So Chen Nian bought a lot of mapo tofu and braised pork.

Fortunately, Chen Nian has ten years of working experience in Double Happiness Hotel and thirty years of working experience in Chen Mapo Restaurant, so he is completely able to handle such a large number of customers.

Just having everything ready in advance is enough.

And these things have been made tens of thousands of times.

Nothing can go wrong in any part of it.

By about eleven o'clock, Chen Nian had already prepared everything.

At this time, some customers were already coming one after another.

Most of them are new faces.

But Chen Nian noticed that among them was an old man who looked to be in his sixties.

The other person wears glasses.

Wearing a white shirt, gray trousers and cloth shoes.

There is a thermos cup of about 300ML on the table. The surface is a little peeled off, and there are some red words in the middle. However, because of its old age, only a few words are left legible.

That is to say, there are not many customers now.

So Chen Nian vaguely saw the words Comrade Wu Qiufang...normal...study above.

The school nearby is Sichuan Normal University.

Although the old man's hair is gray, it is still quite thick compared to other people of his age.

With this temperament, combined with some clues, Chen Nian guessed that the other party was probably a professor at the Normal University.

His name is probably Wu Qiufang.

After the other party sat down, he looked at the menu on the wall. Since there were only two dishes, he didn't waste much time looking at the menu. It only took a few seconds to determine the dish he wanted to eat.

"One portion of mapo tofu and one portion of rice."

After ordering, Feng Honghong looked at the other person, walked over and said kindly: "Hello, our Mapo Tofu is a bit spicy, why don't we put less chili pepper for you?"

When Wu Qiufang heard this voice, he smiled and said kindly as Feng Honghong spoke extremely standard and well-spoken Mandarin: "It doesn't matter, I can eat spicy food, just eat it normally."

But Feng Honghong obviously didn't believe that this old man could eat such spicy tofu.

But the other party still insisted, so Feng Honghong had no choice but to say: "That's okay."

Then I quickly wrote down the name of the dish and the table number on the paper, and then went to report the dish to Chen Nian.

After watching the other party come back after ordering the food, Chen Nian started to heat up the pot.

Blanch the tofu.

Fried beef.

Add seasoning.

Add tofu.

Waiting for the process to be completed in one go, Wu Qiufang was originally just curious about the glass settings in Chen Nian's place, but looking at Chen Nian's actions, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

This kid...

But he didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, Feng Honghong brought Mapo tofu and rice to the table: "Try it first, this tofu is a bit hot and spicy... Blow it well, or break the tofu in the middle of the bowl, otherwise the inside will

It's easy to burn your mouth... If it's too spicy, just call me and I'll ask my son to fry you another one that's not too spicy."

The implication is that if you find it too spicy, you can get a non-spicy one for free.

This is also Feng Honghong's consistent style. She has a clear sense of right and wrong and is generous. But when it comes time to go out and buy clothes and bargain, her skills are no weaker than those of Chen Nian. Although she is older, she has never been cheated, not even once.

Chen Nian also admires my mother’s character very much.

A portion of Mapo Tofu is nothing. Maybe after the other person eats it this time, he won’t eat it again.

But doing so will make diners feel comfortable.

"Okay." Wu Qiufang looked at Feng Honghong and replied in dialect. Apparently he thought this little girl looked nice.

"It's okay." Feng Honghong said with a smile and continued working.

Wu Qiufang looked at this plate of Mapo Tofu.

I was extremely confused.

Because he once worked in the reporting department of West China Daily for seven or eight years before going to Sichuan Normal University to teach.

The director of the reporting department of West China Daily is none other than Che Hu.

Therefore, in the 1970s, when he was working as a reporter, he naturally often went to Chen Mapo Restaurant to eat. At that time, although the chef of Chen Mapo Restaurant had been replaced by Master Xue's apprentice, if there were any acquaintances

If they come here, Master Xue will still take the initiative to cook Mapo Tofu for them to eat.

So everyone has a very good relationship.

Sometimes, it's not meal time when they go.

So you can often visit the kitchen.

From just now, Wu Qiufang saw that Chen Nian's technique was exactly the same as Master Xue's!

After the finished product was served, that familiar feeling came over again.

Wu Qiufang carefully scooped up a piece of tofu, then blew it skillfully for a while, then waited until it cooled slightly before putting the tofu into his mouth.

This method was taught to him by Mr. Che.

But this taste...

He could tell that some of the seasonings seemed different from those in the past, but the deepest soul of the Mapo Tofu made him regain the feeling of the past!

This is Xue Xiangshun’s Mapo Tofu!

Can't go wrong!

As he ate slowly, the mapo tofu, rice, and water in the thermos cup gradually bottomed out.

At this time, Wu Qiufang confirmed this even more.

You must know that at Chen Mapo Restaurant, some of the cooking techniques have changed. After all, more than thirty years have passed, and the successors must have their own cooking methods.

After eating, he paid three yuan and left.

Chen Nian was in the kitchen, watching this old man while cooking.

The changes in the other person's expression are all visible in your eyes.

But as the other party left, the number of customers in the store gradually increased.

Chen Nian began to focus on cooking.

About one hundred and ten portions of braised pork were sold at noon, and all the old pork that had been brought back with great difficulty in the morning was sold out.

Unexpectedly tired.
Chapter completed!
