Amid this melodious and melodious operatic voice, Chen Nian slowly opened her eyes.

The structure inside the house is very familiar, and the living conditions are similar to those when Chen Nian was in Shanghai, but the house is a little air leaking and the facilities are a little simple.

The Shanghai-style Northeast wooden cabinet is a mixed wood cabinet, but it looks like a second-hand one. A square wooden box lying across the wall was basically the standard for people's homes during this period. One table was full of insect-eater marks, with many cracks on it, and some gaps on the edges. Moreover, the torn wooden table is still a lame leg, one of which is shorter than the other legs, and a long stone is placed under it.

On both sides of the table are two benches, but they are not very good at all.

In addition, there are some large tanks that don’t know what they are installed.

Needless to say, it was another poverty start as always.

The room is a little damp and a little hot, but this environment is completely adaptable to the aging.

At this moment, some memories also appeared in Chen Nian's mind.

Now I am in Kunshan, Jiangsu.

And it was the 25th year of the Republic of China, that is, 1936 AD.

"Kunshan?"

Thinking of this place name, Chen Nian suddenly realized that the song outside was just Kunqu opera.

And isn’t this the Peony Pavilion?

I don’t know which old one comes from, but the sentence just now is obviously a famous quote from the Peony Pavilion.

Later, Chen Nian learned that he is now a chef.

Specially cook for a opera troupe called Chunyu Class.

This opera troupe is also a relatively large opera troupe in Kunshan, with more than 50 people in total, so there is their own theater here. If someone spends money to invite him, they will also bring all kinds of food to pick up the job.

Chen Nian lives only in the place where Chen Nian lives alone, which is also the privilege of the chefs in the opera troupe.

After all, it's the food.

I was taking a nap just now, but I fell asleep until after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Fortunately, there are enough ingredients in the kitchen.

Moreover, there are two types of meals to prepare in this theater. The first is a big pot rice, which is mainly for people who are in charge of the team, inspection venue, front door, etc.

There is another serving that is a small stove, which is mainly for people in the group, the gang, etc., and they are somewhat particular about what they eat.

The requirements are better. If you have any performance the next day or the same day, then the requirements for eating are high.

Too spicy to eat.

Too sour to eat.

Too cold to eat.

It's too greasy to eat.

You cannot touch the cigarette and you cannot touch the wine.

Therefore, when eating, it is basically light, and even meat and vegetables are rare.

There are still meat and vegetables every now and then, so sometimes this big pot rice is better than the small-stove meal.

Of course, it’s hard to say after you come down. After all, those actors who sing opera usually need to protect their throats, Chinese medicine, fruits, etc., which are also quite expensive.

Especially for the head teacher, he always holds pear slices in his mouth when he has nothing to do.

Very particular.

The headmaster's name is Li Fuchun, which is passed down from ancestors. Li Fuchun's ancestors have always sang Kunqu opera, and the two words passed down are Li ()chun.

Most of the people in the opera troupe are brought out by Li Fuchun, both as apprentices and as their own children.

This is what happened during this period.

The reason why a master is a master is like a master or a father.

Now, it’s not really a performance outside, but a practice.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian got up and put on his clothes and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

Since there is only aged in the kitchen, everything from purchasing to cleaning, processing ingredients and cooking has to be done by one person. Fortunately, those who can eat here don’t have to go on stage to perform, just big pot rice. When cooked, it’s good to have a little delicious food, and you don’t have to make so many exquisite dishes.

After all, there are rules for singing operas that you cannot eat before singing operas, otherwise your voice will change.

But not all opera troupes are like this. Just like Chen Nian knew before that some Peking Opera must eat big elbows before singing, and some must drink before singing.

However, this is the rule in the Spring Rain Class.

By around five o'clock, the opera troupe will start preparing to perform on stage, and then the singing will take at least ten o'clock. Sometimes if the opera is long, it will even be sang until the early morning.

After all, once the opera is spoken, it cannot be paused.

The rule of ancestors is that drama is greater than the sky.

Listen to guests from all directions, mortals from one side, and ghosts and gods from seven directions.

Once you have made a decision, you can't stop, no matter whether you listen or not.

When I came to the kitchen, the kitchen here was quite large and clean. The stove had been washed after lunch.

Looking at a piece of pork that is fat, 70% thin and 30% thin here, a large bag of potatoes, and some vegetables.

Chen Nian thought about it and calculated the time.

“It should be enough time to make braised pork.”

Chen Nian plans to make braised pork. Although there is not much meat, it doesn’t matter. If there is not much meat, it still has potatoes.

And let alone potatoes, just the soup, throwing your old cloth shoes in and stewing for an hour can make you taste delicious.

When cutting the meat, Agedan deliberately cut about 60 pieces.

Each piece is about two centimeters square.

Just right.

Then each person will be one piece.

But enough potatoes.

In addition, a lot of rice was stewed.

The amount of this dish is basically just fine for ordinary opera troupes.

Then, Aged began to peel potatoes, wash potatoes, wash meat, and cut meat.

There are not so many seasonings here, but these are enough to make a braised pork meal. Although the taste may be slightly worse, it is better to make it with a complete seasoning, but there is no need to score here, just sit in the sense of Simpson.

As time approaches, there are also busy outside. All teams are wearing all kinds of costumes and various makeups. The inspectors are also busy preparing the props they need to perform for evening performances.

But the smell of the kitchen kept coming, and everyone passing by couldn't help but look inside.

"Master Chen, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Suddenly, a man in martial arts clothes passed by, holding a flower gun in his hand, and asked curiously inside.

Because he put on makeup and was just a newcomer, he didn't have much memories of these people in his mind, so Chen Nian didn't remember who this was.

But this did not prevent Chen Nian from chatting with him.

"You will know then. Although you have eaten late, you can tell your brothers when you go back and show it well. I will leave some meat for you then."

"Okay, thank you Master Chen!"

When he heard that there was meat at night, the other party jumped and left. After all, Wu Sheng was also a young boy, and it was the time to grow up.
