"Anyway, it's already like this now, I'm telling you. In short, you'll be well prepared by then, but Hongdou is still easy to get along with. Although he is a singer, he is actually just a little girl." Chen Nian explained.

But no matter who the other party is, as her future daughter-in-law and now her son’s girlfriend is coming to meet her, how could she not be nervous?

"Oh...what should I do?"

Feng Honghong went to the counter and took a mirror to look at her face: "I looked bad today, and I was covered in sweat..."

Chen Nian found it interesting. She lay on the table and looked at her mother with a little helpless look, and fell asleep with a smile.

The afternoon was still working as usual, but the weather outside was still the same, it was always cloudy, and no one knew when it would rain.

Therefore, there are not many guests at night.

The seats in the store were only 90%, and no one had to queue outside to eat the food from Honghong Hotel.

In this way, by around 8 o'clock, there were only people in groups of three or three in the store.

"I have something to do to go home first. Now it's not busy. You can go back first when there is no one in the store." Feng Honghong said.

But what Feng Honghong wants to do is not clear about Chen Nian, who is the son?

"Okay, mom, please go back and change your clothes first, I'll watch the shop." Chen Nian added.

As a result, just after Feng Honghong left, the others looked at Chen Nian with some curiosity.

"Master, why are you going back? Why do you have to change your clothes?"

Chen Nian smiled: "Hongdou is coming to the store tonight. After all, this is the first time I have met my parents formally, so my mother wants to go back and dress up more formally."

He Hai suddenly felt enlightened when he heard this: "What? Master's wife is coming! Then we can't make some delicious food to greet you later?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yu said angrily behind him: "Why are you staying here? Being a light bulb, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet her daughter-in-law. What are you here?"

"That's right, Xiaohai, wait until there is no one in the store, let's leave quickly to avoid getting in trouble. You are all people with girlfriends, why don't you understand more than me, a bachelor?" Li Ting also smiled from the side.

said.

Thanks to the harmonious atmosphere in Honghong Hotel, Li Ting has now integrated into it and has also started to make some jokes with everyone.

"Oh, it's such a pity. I originally wanted to see my master's wife."

"Don't worry, there will be more opportunities in the future." Chen Nian said.

As the store gradually became empty, the others also cleaned up the area they were responsible for in the kitchen and left.

Chen Nian hung up a foreign sign at the door and then started to go back to the kitchen to prepare some food.

But he didn't plan to cook any big dishes tonight. He planned to cook some snacks, and just took today as a tea party. If An Hongdou was not full in the future, he would just take her out to eat something else.

Do it as soon as you say it.

Chen Nian looked at the kitchen and found some small tomatoes that Aunt Wen bought when she came over in the morning. Everyone took some to eat, but in the end they were still some left.

It's just right for a small dessert.

Chen Nian first went out to the convenience store next door to buy a bag of Jiuzhihua Plum.

After I came back, I took out the small tomatoes and started boiling water. After the water boiled, Agedan put the small tomatoes into the pot. Soaked in the boiling water for a while, the skins on the surface of the small tomatoes bloomed one after another.

Only then did Chen Nian take out the tomatoes and put them in the basin next to it.

Then pour out the water in the pot first, then boil it over high heat and add rock sugar to it. While heating the pot, gently smash the rock sugar with an iron spoon to facilitate melting.

After the rock sugar melted, Chen Nian went outside to take a can of Sprite and poured it into the pot.

After pouring Sprite into the pot, it first made countless bubbles burst, but gradually the bubbles inside, that is, carbon dioxide, continued to evaporate as the heat was heated.

After Sprite rolled away, bubbles popped up again below. At this time, Chen Nian threw eight plums into it if they had bought them.

At this time, he turned to low heat and then slowly boiled it. While boiling the old age, he tasted the taste in the pot from time to time. He turned off the heat when it was obvious that the plum flavor could be tasted.

But the soup needs to be cooled before it can be used, so Chen Nian directly took out the fan used by Honghong Hotel and started blowing it into the pot.

Taking advantage of this time, he went to the side and peeled the scalded tomatoes and put them in a glass lunch box for later use.

This is the first snack that Chen Nian plans to make - Huamei tomato.

Although this was the first time Chen Nian made it, it was not the first time he ate it. I remember when I was in school, due to their major, I had to do experiments in the laboratory frequently.

Sometimes I would make some beer, and sometimes I would make some seasonings such as soy sauce and vinegar for experiments.

Therefore, there are basically all kinds of foods in the laboratory.

Once, a senior sister from the second grade in the laboratory secretly took Sprite and small tomatoes and made this plum tomato with rock candy from the laboratory. At that time, all the brothers in the laboratory ate it, so

No one leaked this matter.

But a few days after this incident, the seniors and sisters in another laboratory upstairs were not so lucky.

Of course, maybe it was because the instant noodles were too fragrant, and the taste floated directly into the corridor and attracted the department head.

At that time, several students in the laboratory also directly failed this course, which can be said to be particularly miserable.

So Chen Nian recalled this dish again this time, because it was simple and because the taste was amazing.

Looking back now, Chen Nian still felt the sour and sweet taste between his mouth and tongue, and even his mouth and tongue secreted saliva, which was quite like Cao Mengde's demeanor that time was when he was quenching his thirst.

"It seems that you can make this thing if you have anything to do in the future. While the weather is not completely cold, eat it first."

After looking at the soup over there, Chen Nian took out the corn kernels he had bought before and specially used for popcorn. This was originally what he planned to make for An Hongdou some time ago.

As a result, who knew that he had confessed to the other party boldly in the middle of the journey, and the other party agreed.

I happened to take it out today to make some snacks.

The popcorn bought by Chen Nian also contains ingredients. Chen Nian picked it up and took it up and looked at it.

"A pack of white sugar?"

Just when he was curious, he saw that the name on it seemed that it was not written with white sugar, but with fried sugar.

Therefore, due to habit, he turned to the back and found that in addition to sugar, the pack of fried sugar also had salt, lecithin and edible flavors.

"It turns out it's dedicated, no wonder I'd bring a pack of this thing."

After putting down this pack of popcorn sugar, Chen Nian picked up another small jar, which was specially used for popcorn oil.

Under the habit, Aged turned to the back and looked at the ingredients list: Refined edible palm oil, coconut oil, food additives (edible flavors, diglyceride fatty acid esters, terbutyl hydroquinone beta carotene)

No wonder the popcorn outside smells so fragrant. It turns out that there are also edible flavors added here.

Although I knew before Age, I actually had additives in many foods I ate, or that most of the foods I bought from outside had additives, this is the first time I have learned about popcorn so carefully.

He also knows that many people actually have deep prejudice against food additives, but in fact, there is no big problem with using additives when complying with national regulations.

Of course, some things that use no additives as a selling point are still very attractive to consumers, including Chen Nian himself. Although he is learning this industry, if you go out and face the same type that contains additives and an additive that does not contain any additives.

When food is aged, you will still subconsciously choose the one without additives.

Then there is the drink powder for milk tea, which is used to enhance the taste of popcorn.

Since you want to make aged at home, you still want to make it delicious. Although you can make it with some sugar according to your own method, the taste is definitely not as good as using high-tech ones.

Then Chen Nian opened the pot and put the previous special oil for popcorn, fried sugar and strawberry-flavored milk tea powder in it, and stir-fry it slowly over low heat.

After the oil melted and the sugar and powder gradually melted into it, the fragrance began to float out.

The very sweet and obvious strawberry smell emitted, giving the old man an urge to taste the sugar here.

So he took a quick piece and dipped it in it and then put it in his mouth.

Smack your lips, then raise your eyebrows.

"It's not bad, it's a bit sweet if you eat it this way."

Then he put down the quicksell and poured the corn kernels into it.

The corn kernels that looked just corn kernels outside were lying quietly in the pot, and under the influence of oil, gradually began to make subtle sounds.

Just like a fierce general charging in front of thousands of troops, a popcorn soon exploded!

At this time, Chen Nian quickly covered the pot with a lid. If he continued to cover the lid without covering it, there would be no more popcorn left in the pot after the popcorn in the pot was boiled.

Then you can hear crackling sounds starting to sound inside.

Chen Nian covered the pot with one hand and kept rolling in the pot with the other hand, and the sound of corn bursting inside became increasingly dense.

Turn the heat to the maximum, because only in this way can the pot continue to generate high temperature.

Chen Nian could even feel the impact of the popcorn exploded, causing the popcorn to fly up and hit the lid of the pot.

The lid of the pot was like a warrior holding an explosion-proof shield pushing it in front, and opposite him was an enemy with dense firepower.

In this way, Chen Nian kept rolling the pot until there was no sound of explosion inside, and Chen Nian slowly opened the lid.

At this time, the corn kernels that were originally just a layer of bottom of the pot had turned into half a pot of popcorn.

A strong aroma of milk and strawberries came to his face. This sweet feeling reminded him of the night when the two of them walked on the streets of Chengdu holding hands.

Then Chen Nian also poured the popcorn into a plate.

At this time, Chen Nian ran aside and looked at it, and found that the plum candy water had completely cooled down. He poured the plum candy water into the lunch box containing small tomatoes, then covered the lid and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

Then he cut potatoes and onions.
