"Good evening, Chef Chen, why did you have time to find me so early today?"

The news from An Hongdou was replied quickly.

"Isn't it the holiday today? I gave the employees a breakfast holiday. Now the three of them have all gone back, and my mother has gone out shopping with Aunt Wen." Chen Nian said.

"Hey, then you are quite conscientious. At least you know that you will have a holiday for the employees at this time." An Hongdou replied.

After seeing this, Chen Nian smiled: "Of course, it's okay to make a day less money, mainly because you have to keep the hearts of your disciples."

"Oh, stop talking. I was so busy today that I went to the recording studio in the morning to record another version of the previous song. I took photos with you at Miaomiao Wu's house in the afternoon.

After that, I left as soon as you left. There was a small Chinese Valentine's Day party. There was no show on my side. As a result, yesterday, an actor broke the contract and couldn't go there. So I called again and asked if I had any arrangements for work. I thought I would pay a lot of money, so I agreed and I am still wearing makeup here now."

After An Hongdou posted these, she expressed regret again.

"It's always good to have a job, but where is your activity? Is it in Chengdu?" Chen Nian asked curiously.

"No, in Chongqing."

"That's a pity. If I were in Chengdu, I could still go over and take a look."

"Haha, that's not what it means."

"But you are still wearing makeup now, so it should be getting late after the show, right?"

"It's about 12 o'clock, but the organizer has arranged a hotel here and will stay in the hotel for one night and go back to Chengdu tomorrow."

"It's good, so be careful."

"Don't worry, I have rich experience in outdoor life. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. The makeup artist has to draw my eyes. I have to go to the backstage to have a simple rehearsal. The director probably has something to tell us."

"Okay, no problem, you can go and do it first."

Chen Nian deducted the phone number and said he was not disappointed. That was fake, but after all, the other party still had work to do, and now Chen Nian is the only one left in the store.

"Actually, it's nothing great. Anyway, the Chinese Valentine's Day was not Valentine's Day in ancient times. In a serious way, Valentine's Day should be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Chen Nian kept comforting himself in his heart.

But he still felt a little bored while comforting him. He would definitely not be able to sleep when he went home and lie in bed.

"Forget it, it's better to cook."

Chen Nian's appetite was pretty good. I ate it at Miaomiao Wu before, but even if I filled my stomach, I would finish it with two or two sides of Chen Nian after eating it myself in a few bites, which means I ate while chatting with them, and I ate it a little slower.

After I came back, I was busy for a while and felt a little hungry again.

At this moment, Chen Nian suddenly saw a figure at the door.

"Sister, your workers get off work again?"

It was Lu Xiao who came here again. During the day, Lu Xiao was basically watching the decoration next door. Recently, we should pay more attention to the water and electricity modifications. After all, the location of the faucet, the upper and lower water pipes need to be properly installed. When opening a store, these things must naturally be wrapped in the wall, otherwise it will affect the beauty.

But usually when workers do six or seven, it’s time to get off work.

"Yes, I would have been going to get off earlier, but it was a bit troublesome to change water and electricity. I had to dig and buy pipelines, so the workers worked a little while and finished today's progress.

And you have a early rest here, so I packed some food for them outside, and they just finished eating and they all went back."

"Then you didn't have anything to eat."

"I didn't eat it, and the food didn't feel very good to your liking, so it's not that I'm here to wait until the workers and masters have left to see if there is anything delicious here."

Lu Xiao said as he came to the kitchen.

"That happens. I originally planned to make some food, and we'll eat together."

"Okay, what big meal do you want to make today?" Lu Xiao looked at Chen Nian and asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Cousin, do you have anything you want to eat? You can make whatever you have in my kitchen." Chen Nian said with a smile.

Lu Xiao's eyes glanced around the kitchen, but he didn't see anything outside: "I don't know either, but today is a festival, why don't you make something that suits the situation?"

"Then let me see what's in the freezer."

While thinking about Chen Nian, he went to the freezer to see what ingredients there were.

The kitchen freezer not only contains the essential ingredients they usually sell in restaurants, but also some of them are specially bought for their employees’ meals.

After looking through for a while, I found that there were beef, beef tongue, beef tripe, pork and so on the side.

After seeing the ingredients in the refrigerator, Lu Xiao thought for a while: "Forget pork, I can't think of what pork can be made, otherwise I can make a couple's lung tablet? Although we are both lonely and widowed until now, maybe we can get out of single after eating this meal today?"

"Okay, Aged feels this dish is good too."

But this is just a cold dish with meat, which is good to use for wine, but if you only eat this, it will be a little thinner.

After all, in Sichuan couple lung tablets, it is just a refreshing dish.

Of course, the refreshing here may be slightly different from the refreshing understanding in other areas. The refreshing here means that it is more refreshing.

"Although there is sour plum soup when you drink it, it doesn't seem to be very suitable." Around Chen Nian looked at it again and found that there were a few apples under the table. This was what my mother bought from outside during the day for everyone to eat.

"If you use this... it's better to make a silk-pulled apple. It's just right for you to be in love, just like a couple walking and shopping on the street outside, and it's very sweet." Chen Nian suggested.

"I haven't eaten shredded apples. I've eaten shredded sweet potatoes before and it feels quite delicious. So let's make another shredded apple." Lu Xiao nodded and showed a look of anticipation.

Although the shredded apple has never been made in old age, there are many similar tutorials on the Internet. Anyway, this dish is not very difficult to make.

"These two dishes still feel a little bad. Didn't you just say that sour plum soup is not suitable? Otherwise, you can make it? But you may not have any ingredients for dessert drinks. See what you can do. If there are no ingredients, I will go out to buy it.

Chen Nian thought about it again when he was in the San Francisco Dream Copy, Master Qiao made a mandarin duck milk tea.

And at that time, it was mainly because I was in the United States and I drank more coffee there, so Master Qiao later tried to make it, and the taste was really good.

"Then make another milk tea. This thing seems to be drunk frequently when I was in college..."

"Milk tea is great! I haven't drunk milk tea for a long time. I'm busy with work like you. When I was in school, I often went out to drink milk tea and eat desserts with my sisters. But after I came back, I was too busy to take care of it after opening my own store. I could only eat endless desserts in the store every day, and I almost vomited when I ate it."

"Okay, now there are two dishes and one drink. Think about what other dishes are more appropriate." Chen Nian couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only throw the problem to his cousin.

"You said this and it made me stumped, otherwise I would look up at the starry sky?" Lu Xiao said tentatively.

Chen Nian's face turned dark when she heard this dish: "Isn't this suitable?"

"I think it's okay. You see so many fish heads looking up at the starry sky. The Chinese Valentine's Day is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. Isn't this equivalent to witnessing their love? Fish heads mean all living beings." Lu Xiao explained hard.

Chen Nian listened to her cousin's explanation and thought about the scene in his mind.

In the endless galaxy, countless magpies built a magpie bridge. At both ends of the magpie bridge are the Cowherd and Weaver Girl who can only meet once a year.

When the two of them looked at each other across the bridge and slowly approached each other, with the expectation and longing that they had not seen for a long time, the picture was beautiful and touching.

But then the scene changed, and under the magpie bridge, countless fish stared at the meeting of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky with their eyes focused on the meeting...

The originally beautiful scene suddenly became weird.

"No, no, I'd better change one." Chen Nian shook his head quickly.

"The main reason is that there are no hard dishes. A couple's lung slices are cold dishes, and a shredded apple is like a dessert. But these two dishes are not hard enough. Otherwise, I would make a fried liver. I remember that when I was in BJ school, I loved it. I didn't eat it once after I came back. It should be not difficult for you to make it. If you haven't made it, you can search for tutorials online or something."

As a result, Chen Nian's face became darker after hearing her cousin's suggestion: "Sister, what's the meaning of this? I really can't think of it."

"Isn't this simple?" Lu Xiao looked at Chen Nian with disgust. "I remember that you had a good academic performance at the time and your Chinese score was not low. Why can't you think of this? It means that you are my heart and soul, what a good topic!"

But Chen Nian thought about the smell and couldn't contact the sweet couples outside: "Sister, why don't you say you're going to pull out the pig liver? Wouldn't this meaning be better?"

"That's fine." Lu Xiao nodded seriously after thinking for a while, "Although I haven't eaten it, I can do it with silk apples and sweet potatoes. Is it OK to have silken pork liver?"

"You can have a banana spicy stick hammer!" Chen Nian couldn't help but look dark, "And this dish is not too hard, right?"

But when it comes to pork liver, Chen Nian suddenly thought of the pig's trotters. Suddenly he had an idea: "Or make a braised pig's trotter, and choose the pig's front hoof, which is the pig's hand. This dish is hard enough and tastes good when made."

"Okay, that's it! I've been working hard these days, so I've taken some good supplements, and there's a lot of collagen in it and can also protect my skin. I've been too tired recently and feel my face and hair a little dry."

"Sister, why are you suddenly talking sarcastic? Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination or what?" Chen Nian couldn't help but complain.

As soon as I finished speaking, my cousin rolled her eyes: "Why am I going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

But since the dishes have been confirmed: "Sister, I have to ask you to buy something. If you want to make these, most of the ingredients in the store are available, but Yuanyang milk tea requires the use of light milk and coffee beans, and braised pork hands need to buy pig hands."

"No problem, I'll buy it now. Danmei and pigs can probably be bought in the supermarket. I also encountered a place to sell coffee beans when I went out for market research some time ago. Now it shouldn't be closed."

"Okay, then I'll ask you for these things. I'll prepare husband and wife lung tablets first, which is also time-consuming."

"It's okay, isn't the most time that we are lonely and widowed?

"Hahaha, if you say that, I'll be so sad." Chen Nian laughed.

Then Lu Xiao went out to buy ingredients, while Chen Nian prepared the ingredients for making couples lung tablets at home.

The couple's lung slices look like a cold dish, which is to cook the things on the beef and then mix them with seasonings, but in fact it is still quite troublesome to make.

Because the taste must also be considered, the meat must be cooked thoroughly and cooked to taste, so that it will taste fragrant.

But Chen Nian vaguely remembers that his father had made this cold dish at the beginning, so based on his memory and Chen Nian's understanding of Sichuan cuisine, he could still make it.

First, take out the beef tongue and beef tripe in the freezer and soak it in water, add salt and thaw it.

Then wash these and put them in a pot, add water, green onion, ginger, pepper and cooking wine to blanch it.

After the pot was boiled gradually, the blood inside was also boiled.

While looking at the pot, Chen Nian thought that the couple's lung tablets were quite interesting, just like their wife's cakes.

There are neither couple nor lung tablets in the couple's lung tablets.

However, he still knew the origin of this dish. This dish was created by a couple. The couple's lung tablets were not called this name before, but were called husband and wife scraps. They were made of some scraps of beef and crumbled. The main reason was that the scraps were cheap. Rich people disdained to bring these to the dining table, so they were bought back by many poor people.

But later, with the evolution of the times, in the 1930s, a couple who were engaged in making and selling cold lung tablets picked up them up, and it was at this time that the couple's waste films gradually became husband and wife lung tablets.

But as they did, they found that using lungs to make the taste was not particularly good, so they took the beef lungs out of the couple's lung slices. It was precisely as they continued to improve that this dish became more and more popular. Just like the Mapo tofu in the past, many porters, laborers and poor students like to eat here, so their business is getting better and better.

After several changes, their store became bigger and bigger, and even received the sign nominated by the calligrapher Zhao Yunyu of the then-called calligrapher.

As the business continues to expand, they also added beef to improve the level. As for later, they added new products of beef noodles, which will not be mentioned more.
