Chapter 301 Shocked (Happy New Year to everyone)
"Guess which dish you made?" After hearing this, Mr. Yu looked at the dishes on the table. He had only had some guesses before, but now he showed a look of surprise on his face. He knew his wife's cooking skills, and he had eaten the dishes He Hui had cooked for most of his life. How could he not know which one was made by his wife?
After Grandma He finished speaking, she stopped her husband from speaking. She wanted Zhang Fangyuan to guess first.
Speaking of which, Zhang Fangyuan has a good relationship with their family. Zhang Fangyuan often ran here when he was filming documentaries, and every time he went back to Yangzhou on a business trip, he would bring some specialties from other places here.
Not to mention, if he had enough time, he would stay here to accompany Mr. Yu to play chess or something.
But Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help feeling a little difficult to deal with when he heard this. To be honest, he had eaten a lot of dishes made by He Hui, but the dishes in front of him were really difficult to distinguish.
These dishes look good in color, aroma and taste.
But when he was asked, Zhang Fangyuan swept the table and then pointed at a basket next to him: "This! This must not be done by Aunt He!"
I saw that Zhang Fangyuan was referring to the basket of strawberries.
"Haha, you're so slippery. If you guess this, you have to guess who was the two of them."
Zhang Fangyuan also became interested for a moment. He looked at Chen Nian and An Hongdou. Both of them had washed their hands, which meant that they both helped, but it was obvious that two people could not wash a basket of strawberries, so the other person must have helped wash vegetables and cut vegetables.
At this time, he suddenly thought that An Hongdou said he wanted to treat him to a meal. In this case, An Hongdou should be better at cooking. Although Chen Nian often gave advice during dinners for a while, it was all about paper talk, not to mention that there were many remarks in it, Zhang Fangyuan did not agree with it at all.
"Then I guess these strawberries were washed aged, and Hongdou will help you wash and cut vegetables."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the three of them remained unchanged. He Hui nodded and continued to ask: "Then, guess which dish I made for the next dishes?"
There are six dishes on the table, stir-fried shrimp, soy sauce tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried vegetables, beef stewed potatoes and a West Lake beef soup.
In terms of difficulty, it must be simple to stir-fry vegetables, tofu, soup and shrimp.
This is also the thought in Chen Nian and others.
But after about ten seconds, Zhang Fangyuan said his answer: "This fish-flavored shredded pork must not be made by grandma, and the soy sauce tofu should not be made by you. Although you didn't say how many dishes you made in total, I still think this West Lake beef soup should not be made by you."
When Zhang Fangyuan said the first two sentences, he really surprised the three of them because these two dishes were indeed not made by He Hui, but when they heard the last dish, they were relieved. It seemed that the other party was just relying on guessing and observing.
"Why?"
"Because I guess Aunt He will definitely think that I will guess the simple ones and the difficult ones will be left to you to do, but I thought again that if it was so easy to guess, you might not let me speak."
After hearing this, Chen Nian felt that what he said seemed to be reasonable.
"So this fish-flavored shredded pork is definitely not made by you, as for the other two dishes, I guess."
"Okay, then tell me that since these three dishes were not made by me, who made them?"
"I think it's made of Hongdou."
After hearing this, He Hui nodded: "Okay, what about you, old man? Which one do you think is the dish I cook?"
After hearing this, Yu Fuchun sighed: "We have lived our whole life. Now you ask me to guess these things again. Can Xiao Zhang guess wrong, then can I guess wrong?"
"You made the beef stewed with vegetables, and the soup was made by you. The rest is definitely not you. However, it was the first time I met this little girl and Xiao Chen, but I think the remaining dishes should also be made by Xiao An. Although Xiao Chen doesn't seem to know how to cook, I think it's better for girls to cook."
As soon as the words came, the three of them smiled at the same time.
"It seems that the old man knows me. I made these three dishes, and I didn't make the other three dishes. Xiao Zhang guessed well, so he guessed two dishes wrongly."
"The remaining three dishes..."
Then An Hongdou smiled and said, "Only the strawberries are made by me, and the rest are made by aged ones."
This answer surprised everyone a little.
What Zhang Fangyuan was thinking about was that Chen Nian actually knows how to cook?
But in this way, what Chen Nian said before isn't...
No, right, even so, it does not mean that the aged level has reached the level of being able to comment on the chefs of restaurants you recognize.
But at this moment, An Hongdou looked at the two of them in surprise and couldn't help laughing: "Teacher Yu, Director Zhang, do you think Chen Nian specializes in sing Kunqu Opera, and even if he doesn't specializes in sing Kunqu Opera, he is still engaged in related industries?"
"Isn't it?" Zhang Fangyuan asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, of course not. You can't guess that Chen Nian is actually a chef and has his own restaurant in Chengdu."
At this time, Chen Nian continued: "Yes, I am really just a chef, and the Kunqu opera I mentioned before is just my hobby and not lies. Moreover, no one in my family is engaged in opera-related industries."
"How is this possible? You obviously..." Zhang Fangyuan looked unbelievable. Just the singing style and posture that Chen Nian showed during the filming before. If he was a chef, Zhang Fangyuan would never want to believe it.
"Director Zhang, do you feel unbelievable? When I knew Chen Nian could sing Kunqu Opera, I was as shocked as you. After all, the chef and the actress are too big to imagine. However, even a chef, Chen Nian is very good. If you search online, you should find many videos related to Chen Nian... And Mr. Liu didn't tell you that the collaborative lyricist of the song Wensi Tofu is also Chen Nian. My song was created after I tasted Wensi Tofu in his store."
Zhang Fangyuan only felt that his views were subverted. Isn’t the kind of profession that cooks are accompanied by iron pots and oil smoke in the kitchen all day long? Even chefs in high-end restaurants are inevitably like this.
Moreover, cooking is considered physical labor, and chefs are basically big and round waists. Even if they don’t look anything on the surface, their arms must be thicker than others. They are not as good as old people and have a well-proportioned figure. Whether it is men’s or women’s clothing, they have a unique flavor.
"So you are the world-destroying general Tyrannosaurus?"
"It's me. Actually, I just wanted to cook at the beginning, but then the customers spontaneously promoted it for me. Later, I met Hongdou by chance in the store. During that time, Hongdou created a song with silken tofu. Later, I just made some suggestions on lyrics. Hongdou wanted to add my name. I don't like being followed by too many people, so I used a pseudonym." Chen Nian explained.
"Actually, the reason why our crew signed a confidentiality agreement because of your identity is because of this?"
"It should be." Chen Nian nodded, "Mr. Liu is very good. I didn't expect him to agree to this condition before."
Even though he said so, Zhang Fangyuan still felt very magical. However, looking at An Hongdou's uncontrollable smile, he also reacted to something in his heart: "Hongdou, what you said before was to treat me to dinner. Do you want Chen Nian to come and make it?"
"Yes." An Hongdou admitted happily.
"You two..." Zhang Fangyuan sighed. He felt that he might have blamed Chen Nian for the wrong reason before.
However, he did not take out his mobile phone to search the Internet now, but after chatting for a few words, he naturally turned the topic back to Yu Fuchun.
While the meal was on, Chen Nian also used chopsticks to taste the dish of fish-flavored shredded pork he made. To be honest, among these dishes, the first time he tried the dish, but he was quite hopeful for this dish.
After all, I had eaten this dish in an internet celebrity restaurant in Chengdu before, and that restaurant was called a time-honored brand, but after eating it, I was disappointed.
This time I tasted the fish-flavored shredded pork that I made, and the taste was better than that of the store. After the taste was taken, the sour, sweet and spicy tastes started to attack one after another. The soft, tender and chewy shredded pork was given youthful vitality, but this was not a flamboyant rebellion, but a youthful tolerance for the sea and all rivers.
Even elderly people like Teacher Yu and Grandma He will not feel any troublesome to eat.
Although there is a hint of spicy flavor in it, the two elders, as Jiangnan, do not find it difficult to eat, but rather feel it is very delicious.
Moreover, the bamboo shoots and fungus were also wrapped in the same sauce as the shredded pork, but the taste was completely different. The fungus was not over-fried, and it was not hard but crispy.
As for the ingredients such as bamboo shoots that will be particularly difficult to chew if they are not made well, they are also well treated by aging. As long as you bite it gently with your teeth, it will break with a crunch.
Invincible taste!
But the same age also knows that this dish still has defects. The reason why fish-flavored shredded pork is called fish-flavored shredded pork is because the spicy food used in this dish is actually made with fish in advance.
Although this dish tastes similar to what is sold outside, it still lacks the most soulful things, but it is just that ordinary people can't eat them.
Chen Nian took a look at the recipe and found that the progress of this dish is only 85%, which shows the importance of fish-flavored spicy food to this dish.
But I can make it so well in the field of home-cooked dishes. After all, no one in ordinary people spends so long to make fish spicy.
After a meal, Chen Nian An Hongdou and He Hui went to the kitchen to wash dishes together, but this time Chen Nian became the main force, An Hongdou also rushed to take over the dishes washed by Chen Nian and wiped the water stains on it with a rag.
He Hui had nothing to do on the side, and then kept chatting with Chen Nian and the others.
She didn't want to rest like this and leave the work for young people to do, mainly because these two children are too enthusiastic!
This is so likable.
"Oh, grandma just likes young people like you. This time you come here for work. If you come to Yangzhou to play in the future, you must tell grandma. Grandma's legs and feet are still neat, so I will take you out for fun at that time."
"Don't worry, grandma, we will definitely come to disturb you at that time."
"Okay, then how about we'll add WeChat? We can also make phone calls when we're fine."
"OK."
The three of them formed a revolutionary friendship in the kitchen with just one meal, while Zhang Fangyuan outside took out his mobile phone and started searching for the old ones.
As a result, after searching, he really found a lot of searches.
Except for some things that are obviously posted by those who like to sing against the tunes on the Internet, most of the people who mention Aged is basically praised, and there are countless scenes about Aged cooking.
Especially the part about the aged chewensi tofu.
"So awesome?" Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but exclaim.
It’s not that he has tried this dish, nor has he ever seen the chef of a star-rated hotel make this dish himself, but this is the first time he has met people who know how to make this dish to such an extent.
And before that, he thought Chen Nian was a guy who only knew how to talk about war on paper.
Even though I later learned that Chen Nian was a chef, I never thought that Chen Nian was so powerful.
Then he looked down and found that the real thing that was really amazing was not Huaiyang cuisine, but Sichuan cuisine.
But in addition to these two cuisines, Chen Nian actually knows Northeastern cuisine, and he is also the leader in Northeastern cuisine, the pot dumpling meat.
"What kind of young man is this?"
Zhang Fangyuan suddenly became curious about Chen Nian. Although he was a director and mainly filmed documentaries, he occasionally filmed some art films and went to theaters. Although this thing is not very profitable, no one expected to make money with art films.
In addition to these two main businesses, he occasionally posts some interviews with big shots on his self-media account.
Anyway, Zhang Fangyuan's shooting was mainly due to his personal interests and hobbies. While watching Chen Nian's information, he realized that he had very little knowledge of Chen Nian before.
So while watching, he suddenly had an idea, that is, to also conduct an interview with Chen Nian.
He wanted young people like Chen Nian to be known to outsiders. The contrast brought by this identity is very eye-catching. Moreover, he did this not because he wanted any traffic, but because he naturally had a very desire to explore such people.
