Chapter 522 Master Chen visits the store (seeking a monthly ticket)
"But in fact, if there is anything better, just check out their special dishes." After Xiao Jing finished speaking, he ordered the camphor tea duck from this house, ordered a drunken tofu, and then another Mao Xuewang came.
"Two more bowls of rice." Xiao Jing said and looked at Chen Nian again, "Brother Chen, what are you drinking?"
"I'll just drink tea." Chen Nian said with a smile.
"Okay, then don't drink it, and have another cold cucumber."
Xiao Jing finished ordering the dishes quickly.
But I have to say that the dishes at this restaurant were still very fast, and the cold dishes were served soon.
The cold dishes with Sichuan cuisine style naturally need to be mixed with chili. In addition, some old vinegar, some soy sauce, and a piece of cucumber was put into your mouth.
You can also feel the sweet aftertaste. I guess it is because in addition to the seasonings mentioned above, sugar is added.
"This cucumber is good, the taste is really good, and their cucumber tastes crispy and feels fresh." Chen Nian kept commenting.
Obviously I am very satisfied with this cucumber mix.
The crisp texture and the mellow vinegar taste are sweet and there is a hint of spicy flavor. Before the meal begins, this taste has already made people feel appetite.
"It's really good. Although this dish is just a simple cold cucumber, the old vinegar is actually very particular." Chen Nian said, dipped the vinegar in the plate with chopsticks, and then put it in his mouth and smacked it.
"If you taste this vinegar carefully, you can also get a bit of fruity aroma, so if I guess correctly, this vinegar should be made by simmering it in a pot, and this vinegar should be old vinegar from Shanxi. As for the specific years, I can't taste it, but it will definitely be at least three years.
But in addition to vinegar, there are also brown sugar, rock sugar, white sugar, oyster sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, light soy sauce and honey. I just said that there is a fruity aroma inside, so it should be lemon and apple."
After hearing this, Xiao Jing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "It's really professional! You can taste so much in just one bite?"
"This is nothing. Those who are in this industry basically understand it. It's just that the proportions may be slightly different. However, it's still very creative to make the fruit aroma here, and it's also a pretty good innovation." Chen Nian moved the topic to this store with slight slightest slightest.
Xiao Jing also took another bite of the cucumber and tasted it, but he couldn't taste the fruity fragrance no matter how he tasted it.
"Boss, why didn't I eat it and it smelled like a fruit?"
"We are different. After all, I make a living by this. If you don't believe it, you can ask later, but whether they are willing to say it is another matter." Chen Nian explained.
Xiao Jing nodded and did not go into this dish. After all, this dish was just delicious for him.
Not long after, a hard dish came to them - Mao Xuewang.
As soon as this dish is placed on the table, the aged ones smell a very impactful fragrance.
"The Maoxuewang is indeed authentic. The base oil is made of rapeseed oil and butter. Although the taste of these two oils is different, they have one thing in common, that is, the taste is particularly obvious."
"Boss, you have already started to review before you even eat it? I originally thought your tongue was powerful, but I didn't expect that your nose is powerful now."
"This is even more irrelevant. You can smell these two kinds of oils, let alone me, just a person who often cooks at home."
Chen Nian said as he picked up a small spoon and gently scoop a spoonful of soup inside, then slurped it into his mouth.
This action made Xiao Jing stunned!
This was the first time he saw someone eating Maoxuewang when he didn't even move the food, so he took a sip of the soup first!
"Boss, you are so ruthless!" Xiao Jing couldn't help but say with his eyes wide open.
"Isn't this for your show effect?" Chen Nian said truthfully, "You can't work with you once. I just sit here with you for a while and have dinner together. What's the point of that?
At least we have to talk about the taste here and talk about the general practice. Since we are in the store and you have not answered this advertisement, we have to tell the truth, at least we must let the audience know the store we are in, right!
If everything you eat is delicious, there are only a few words and words back and forth, and the audience will not like to watch it for a long time, let alone the audience, I don’t like to watch such videos myself.”
Xiao Jing nodded: "It's still Brother Chen who knows how to play. I think I have to study hard. Every time I go out to visit the store, I can only tell the audience how the taste of this dish is. And for me, as long as the food is not too bad, it feels pretty good.
I didn’t charge some stores, but there were still many viewers who followed me to the same store and generally said that the taste was average.”
"You see, this is a loss of unprofessionalism. Of course, sometimes it is not that you are not professional enough, but that everyone has different tastes. Others may not like to eat what you like.
To give the simplest example, some people like to eat folded ear roots, mix cold dishes with folded ear roots, soaked them with folded ear roots, stir-fried vegetables with folded ear roots, and even eat them raw, but some people are completely unable to accept this taste."
Chen Nian continued to explain.
"That's right, but I always tell them that this only represents my personal taste, but what Brother Chen said has opened up a new idea for me."
"Take it slow. You've just gotten into this industry, but there's no need to do exactly what I said. Just add something that meets market demand and audiences' favorites on your own."
After Chen Nian finished speaking, he remembered that he had not mentioned Mao Xuewang's soup base.
So he took another sip with a spoon, then spit out the seasoning residue inside.
"This base is also very authentic, including glutinous rice cakes, chili peppers, and bean paste. The rest is their own recipe, but if someone wants to make it at home, they can search the Internet more. Now it is very convenient online.
If you find the tutorial you find is too troublesome, you can also check it out a little simpler. If it really doesn't work, go to the supermarket to buy a pack of Maoxuewang seasonings and go home. Put some water into the pot, then add the ingredients and cook them.
In short, the base of Maoxuewang soup is very rich and salty, but it may have a little impact for people who are not very spicy."
Just when Chen Nian said that, Xiao Jing had already taken out his mobile phone to search for what glutinous rice cakes and peppers were.
Then he explained to the camera what is glutinous rice cake and chili pepper and how to make it.
After saying that, Chen Nian continued: "If you pay a little more attention to Mao Xuewang, you will basically have yellow throat, tripe, duck blood, and eel. These four are essential for some people.
The others are lunch meat, beef, and vegetables, bean sprouts and celery, which are generally put."
Chen Nian talked about this dish again. Although he had never made it in the store, he could talk a little, and he had a good understanding of Sichuan cuisine Chen Nian.
Xiao Jing just echoed the other side, and then Chen Nian ate these ingredients one by one and commented on it, and finally gave a very good review.
"So, this dish is very good. If you come here to have a meal, I would recommend Mao Xuewang, and Mao Xuewang is indeed a specialty of their family." Xiao Jing nodded and continued to echo.
But just as they were talking, the last duck of camphor tea was brought up.
"Brother Chen, please try it. The camphor tea duck is also a feature here."
Chen Nian nodded.
I thought in my mind that although I had eaten camphor tea duck, I didn’t know much compared to other Sichuan cuisines.
Of course, if it is BJ roast duck, he can talk about it.
Based on the principle of not knowing much, Chen Nian picked up the duck and tasted it, but this bite made Chen Nian frown.
"What's wrong with Brother Chen?"
"This duck seems to taste a little wrong. Why do I feel that this duck tastes so much like a semi-finished product? Compared with other dishes, this camphor tea duck is a bit dry and tough, with a more transparent taste and a smoky flavor, but the juice is not that good. You can eat it as soon as you enter your mouth. This duck is definitely not just made.
It’s the kind of semi-finished product that was marinated a long time in advance, so the smoky taste is not so new and feels very old.”
Since it's making videos, Chen Nian naturally says whatever he says.
"But it's normal. After all, it's not a store that specializes in this store. If you let the store do all the processes yourself, it would be too time-consuming. So in terms of semi-finished products, this camphor tea duck tastes very good."
Xiao Jing also took the video truthfully, and after thinking about it, he still planned to turn around and keep the video.
"But Boss Chen, why don't you give out a few new dishes in the store?" Xiao Jing suggested, "such as camphor tea duck, and Mao Xuewang or something."
After hearing this, Chen Nian shook his head: "You can ask me somewhere else, but now it's a bit inappropriate. I turned around and said that the camphor tea duck here is a semi-finished product. I turned around and I made Mao Xuewang and Changcha duck myself, which was too inauthentic. I won't say anything about the camphor tea duck. Just Mao Xuewang, even if I study it myself, it may not be better than this store. After all, they are specialized in this."
Chen Nian quickly cleared his relationship, but he didn't expect that some words would lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
After all, nothing is hard to predict online.
Seeing that Aged's desire to survive was so strong, Xiao Jing didn't ask any more questions. After the last drunken tomato flower came up, Aged tasted it and drizzled it with fermented glutinous rice glutinous rice. Some wolfberry was cooked in the fermented rice. Anyway, it tasted sour and sweet, with a little wine smell, and the taste was very refreshing.
Finally, Chen Nian and Xiao Jing finished the meal on the table and then got up to check out.
The two spent about 200 yuan in total.
There are eighty-eight ducks in camphor tea, sixty-eight hairs, and ten old vinegar and cucumbers. There are six in two bowls of rice in total, and twelve yuan a bowl of tofu. They ordered two bowls in total, which is twenty-four.
"Actually, it's quite affordable here. If you have friends who come to Chengdu to have fun, you can come here to try it. But if you are a person who cannot eat spicy food, you have to consider it carefully. It's not that this store is not suitable, but you have to pick it up in the whole of Chengdu. After all, there are more people who eat spicy food in Sichuan after all."
After the two of them settled the bill, Chen Nian gave another piece of advice to the camera and made a small summary.
After that, Xiao Jing turned off the camera and the materials for today have been taken.
"Brother Chen, I didn't realize that you are quite talented in exploring the shop. If you are a grandma master and often come out to exploring the shop, I think there will be a lot of people watching."
But after hearing this, Chen Nian shook his head: "That's not possible. I often watch videos on the Internet, and I always watch videos when visiting the store. Generally speaking, this kind of videos will be divided into four types. The first type is to answer everything. No matter whether it is delicious or not, as long as you give it money, you will try your best to praise it.
The second type is to screen before accepting advertisements. They will choose stores that give more money or have a very good reputation in themselves.
The third type is similar to when you visit a store based on your own preferences, and you earn more money online and subsequently monetize these traffic. But I am frankly speaking, eating in these places is definitely mostly based on praise, and basically rarely criticizes it.
The fourth type is chefs like Teacher Tang and Teacher Sui on the Internet. They are very professional and never accept recharges from the store. If they are delicious, they say they are delicious. If they are not delicious, they say they are not delicious.
But for me, the first two are actually not suitable. I personally don’t want to make such money. After all, I am also a chef myself. I can’t point to a dish of unpalatable dishes against my conscience and say that this is the most delicious food in the world.
The third type is actually similar to me.
But the fourth type is not qualified enough. If others do this, they are either the executive chef of a five-star hotel or the chef at the state banquet level. How can I, a small restaurant, be qualified to learn from others? Besides, I haven’t fully learned it myself. For example, the camphor tea duck I just made, but I can’t do it if I go deeper.”
"That's true. Even if we go out and visit the restaurant, we will basically choose some more delicious restaurants first. When we make it, we basically focus on praise. In fact, I am not that professional, so I can only follow my own preferences. But I am not very picky about food. Although I am a food master, they basically ask me to eat in the dining area master, and I can eat anything very delicious."
Obviously, Xiao Jing has a clear positioning of himself.
"That's it. The audience likes you, but it actually depends more on the process of your meal."
"Yes." Xiao Jing nodded, but soon he changed the topic: "But Brother Chen, why did you suddenly remember to treat me to a meal today? What did you do in the afternoon? And you were dressed so grandly?"
