However, when Agedan made this dish, the meat was slightly smaller than braised pork, and the meat itself would shrink a certain amount of time when stewing, especially the fatty meat. As the oil in the stewed dish would run out, the volume would become smaller.

The reason why you use slightly smaller meat in old age is that it will make you more rice. Large pieces of meat are more suitable for eating rice or steamed buns. This will make you very happy to eat with rice and meat, but it will be almost interesting to eat when you are served with porridge at night.

Bean curd is made of soybeans, which can be said to bring together all the essences of soybeans.

When stewing meat, if you can add some soybeans, it can make the soup richer and taste more fragrant.

In addition, the soy sauce of this era is quite thick, so the color is very red and looks extremely appetizing.

The braised pork is stewed so crispy, soft and tender, and melts when you put it in your mouth. There have been too many descriptions about this before. The tomato curd in it was put in after aging.

The bean curd was soaked after buying it, so it could be put into the dish directly. After stewing, the bean curd softly absorbs the reddish-brown soup in the pot, just like a sponge. Just squeeze the soup and it will flow out.

It makes the teeth and cheeks full of fleshy fragrance.

Take another sip of millet porridge and gets hot and most people will sigh at this time.

Life is nothing more than food, sex, and it is not unreasonable that food ranks first.

An ordinary person can tolerate lust and power, but he can definitely not escape the temptation of appetite.

In short, a person can be a bachelor for the rest of his life. If a person is hospitalized due to a serious illness, he can only eat some liquid food such as porridge and steamed buns every day. To put it bluntly, even if the person in the bed next door is gnawing pickled vegetables, a green light will appear in his eyes.

Not to mention the delicious foods of Maocai, hot pot, spicy hot pot, hamburger, chicken wings, tender beef, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, roast chicken, roast duck, roasted old goose, etc.

Just listening to saliva will flow down three thousand feet.

Not to mention that eggplant beans are also a magical tool for rice cooking. Although it is a vegetarian dish, it may not taste as rich as the sauce of roasted Erdong, but eggplant is a little more oily and can be delicious no matter how you make it.

In the end, the old man was overeating.

After dinner, Master Sun took Chen Nian to the canteen to find Shen San.

"San Master, I want to go to Runfeng Tower. Isn't other martial arts halls going to compete soon? I want to go over and discuss with old friends over there, and go back and give you a list first to take a look and choose."

"Well, go, don't worry about it in the kitchen. After a while, there is not enough food in the bowls. I will let them serve them by themselves. After the meal, I will ask them to wash the pots and bowls, so you can go.

Although we are competing at that time, you can’t be vague about the food, at least you can’t just make your colleagues laugh at it.”

"The Third Master is fine. When I come back, I will ask my apprentice to wash the pot. Just leave those things alone." Sun Fuquan said quickly.

"You go, it's okay. Runfeng Tower seems to be a little far away. I'll find you a car." Shen San obviously also attaches great importance to this competition. You must know that he worked hard to get this competition in the Jinwu Gate.

If they can't make a big splash, then their Jinwu Sect will have to wait for the future if they want to rise.

Then Sun Fuquan took Chen Nian away, but after all, he didn't ask Chen San to find a car.

Just walking forward, Tianjin City was still brightly lit under the night, and the location of Runfeng Building is in the downtown area. You can clearly feel the prosperity when you walk there.

Earlier, Chen Nian came here to buy pancake fruits, but this time he was going to Runfenglou further than pancake fruits.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of Runfeng Building, which had three floors in total. It looked quite grand from the outside, with flying eaves and beasts, carved beams and painted buildings, and rows of lanterns illuminated the inside and outside.

There is a row of carts parked on the left of the door, and a row of classic cars parked on the right.

Of course, this kind of car is so called by Chen Nian, but the shape is quite retro anyway.

After arriving at the door, the servant standing at the door saw Sun Fuquan and quickly nodded and greeted him: "Master Sun, why are you here?"

Master Sun obviously recognized this kid too.

"I'll come here to find your shopkeeper. There's something important about it. Please help me in and pass it on."

"It's so sir, but there's no need to spread it all. Master Sun, you are here, I'll take you in." The servant said as he made a call with his right hand and asked Sun Fuquan to come in.

Sun Fuquan did not make too much courtesy, so he stepped into it with Chen Nian.

"Master Sun, this one is..." When he walked in, the servant looked at Chen Nian with some curiosity and asked.

"This is my apprentice." Master Sun couldn't help but feel a little proud when he said it, and after that, he added a sentence afterwards, "I just collected it."

The boy's eyes lit up and he said, "Congratulations to this little master! We found such a famous teacher. Master Sun is a famous chef in the Tianjin world. At that time, many restaurants wanted to spend a lot of money to poach people, but Master Sun refused to leave.

Later, our respected third master and polite wise men came to invite him, and his attitude was almost as good as visiting the cottage. Originally, Master Sun didn't plan to leave, but our boss wanted Master Sun to enjoy the peace of mind, so he advised Master Sun to go there.

But our boss regrets giving away Master Sun every day. And if you can get to Master Sun's eye, it means that your level is also very superb. In the past, many people came to Runfeng Tower and wanted to be their disciples, but Master Sun didn't want them."

Chen Nian did not praise Master Sun from the positive way he heard every word the other person said, but every sentence was praised by Master Sun. This skill of flattery made Chen Nian look beyond his expectations.

Coupled with the other party's unique Tianjin accent, Chen Nian felt that the other party was talking about stand-up crosstalk, and a few simple words outlined his master's superb cooking skills from the side.

"Okay, okay, don't be poor, just say." No one in this world doesn't like to praise, and Sun Fuquan is no exception. He feels very helpful to listen to this.

And now he is being praised in front of his apprentice, and he is pretending to be sturdy.

Sure enough, Chen Nian also cast a worshipful look at him at the right time, which made Master Sun even happier.

"We are here, our boss is here now. I will knock on the door for you. I won't go in. I'm busy with my lower body. I have to go to welcome guests again." The servant raised his hand and knocked on the door and said.

Chen Nian looked at the other party thankfully: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard or hard, please be polite, then I'll leave first." As he said that, the servant walked back to the entrance of the stairs, then turned around and ran down the stairs.

This service attitude is not as good as it can be.

Just now, a sound came from inside the door:

"Enter!"

Sun Fuquan pushed the door open, with an old friend's smile on his face as he met again: "Long time no see Manager Ji."

Chen Nian also looked at him and saw an old man who looked about the same age as Master Sun sitting inside. He was dressed properly, had a neat beard, a little rich but energetic, bright eyes, and obviously had a great body.

There was a book on the table. The old man was far away and I couldn't see what was written on the book.

But Storekeeper Ji was holding a magnifying glass in his hand, and he was obviously reading this book just now.

After seeing Sun Fuquan coming, Storekeeper Ji stood up in shock. After being stunned, his face quickly showed a look of surprise: "Oh oh ~ Who am I thinking this is? Isn't this Master Sun? What wind blows you?"

After the two old men approached, they hugged each other on the spot, and it can be seen that their relationship is quite good.

And it is rare to have such a good relationship at this age.

"I want to disturb you because I have something to do, and I don't know if it's convenient for you." Sun Fuquan said.

"It's convenient, why is it inconvenient? Half of the contributions we have made to today in Runfeng Building is yours, Master Sun." Manager Ji smiled heartily.

As a result, Master Sun raised his eyes after hearing this: "Look at what you are saying, I am just a chef, and I can have the support of the old shopkeeper now. If you say this again, I will change my head and leave."

"Hahaha, you are still the same as before, but it is rare for you to come to me. If you have any questions, I will definitely try my best to help you. You know, I don't have many friends in the business world, and you are the only ones who are sincere friends."

While talking, Store Manager Ji also saw Chen Nian, but he didn't ask who Chen Nian was because he knew that his son, Sun Fuquan would definitely say it later.

"I'll introduce you to you before I talk about it. This is my newly accepted apprentice named Chen Nian." After that, he turned to look at Chen Nian, "Say hello to Manager Ji."

"I have met Storekeeper Ji, the younger generation, the older generation, the older generation, the older generation." Chen Nian said respectfully. Storekeeper Ji is a friend of his master, so he is naturally his elder.

Treat elders with courtesy.

"Not bad." Manager Ji looked at the reasonable and concise, and Chen Nian couldn't help but praise, "Your apprentice doesn't look like a chef, I feel like a scholar."

Manager Ji has seen countless people, and he has a very scholarly temperament. If he had not read books, he would definitely not have such temperament.

"He did read some books, but he still prefers to be a chef than studying. This is also our fate. Otherwise, how could so many people in the world let us meet?" Sun Fuquan said with a smile.

He didn't know whether Chen Nian had read or not, but he could tell from Chen Nian's behavior and speech that Chen Nian was indeed a bit cultural, but he didn't care about these things.

"It's not bad, I didn't expect that Master Sun would make a big splash. Could it be that he came here today to show off his apprentice with me?" Storekeeper Ji also showed relief after hearing that Sun Fuquan accepted his apprentice.

After all, he had always wanted Sun Fuquan to accept an apprentice long ago, otherwise he would have become older and his skills would not be passed on.

"That's not the case." Sun Fuquan waved his hand, "but it is indeed related to this kid. In a few days, will not all martial arts halls in Tianjin compete in our martial arts? We have to cook and entertain those people at that time. You also know that these martial arts halls are everywhere, so I definitely can't just cook Shandong cuisine.

It just so happened that this kid said he could cook a lot of southern dishes, but I didn’t have enough food, so I thought he would bring him here to try it out. If he could really make it, he would help me a lot at that time.” Sun Fuquan said straight to the point.

"You are still a Southern cuisine apprentice? However, it is not easy to cook southern cuisine well. And if you can cook southern cuisine well, it is the icing on the cake. At least it is not taught from scratch." Manager Ji couldn't help but look up at Chen Nian again.

"Let's do that." Storekeeper Ji looked at Chen Nian, "Can you write? I have paper and pen here. If I can write, write out what you want and I'll ask you to prepare it. If I don't know, you say I'll write it for you."

Chen Nian nodded: "You can write, but you have to borrow the four treasures of Jianguan Ji's study... "

"No problem, then you can write first, and I'll talk to your master for a few more words."

Sun Fuquan also gave Chen Nian a look of peace of mind and then pulled his old friend to the side to start reopening the old one.

Chen Nian thought about it and found that what he wanted to make included Guangdong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine. He didn't know what was in this restaurant.

So I started writing down all the ingredients I needed from Guangdong cuisine.

People used traditional Chinese characters in this era, but fortunately, Chen Nian used this kind of characters to submit articles to newspapers when he was in Shanghai.

So it took about 10 minutes to finish all the ingredients needed.

"Master, I've finished writing the storekeeper Ji, and I'm like this." After writing, Chen Nian handed over the list in his hand.

Sun Fuquan didn't have any special feeling about the amount of dishes on these lists, after all, he knew that Agedan had to cook more dishes.

But when Manager Ji saw so many dishes, he was still shocked: "Are you going to have a banquet here?"

Sun Fuquan explained on the side: "If it weren't for so many, I wouldn't have troubled Manager Ji, but don't worry, all the cost today is counted on my account. I don't have much money to spend. I dare not say that if I have too many, but buying these is definitely enough."

But when Manager Ji heard this, he suddenly frowned: "Look at what you said? It's so ugly. No matter how many ingredients are, they are just a few oceans. Can our friendship be bought by these oceans?

And I was going to invite a few friends tonight, and I was worried about what dishes to serve them. Since that's the case, it would be better to let your apprentice cook for us, and we would eat whatever we serve..." said Manager Ji.
