Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 465 Pimp Alley
Lu Xun naturally said that there was no problem with this request.

But he also explained that he went to BJ this time to find friends, and he might not be able to spare time then.

And Chen Nian also said that it doesn't matter, if there is fate, we will meet again in the future.

Then they parted ways at Fengtai Station.

Fengtai Station is the earliest railway station in BJ, which was built more than 30 years ago.

And it has developed to a considerable scale now, and you can feel the excitement here as soon as you step off the train station, which is much more crowded than when they were in Tianjin.

Although Tianjin has a port, the political status of Forty-Nine City is different after all.

Following Fengtai Station and the many martial arts brothers to the outside, Chen Nian was also constantly observing.

Speaking of Fengtai Station, Chen Nian is quite familiar. In the future, Xinfengtai Railway Station will not be far away from here, and the construction area of ​​Xinfengtai Station is twice as large as that of the Forbidden City. It is the largest railway hub inn in Asia.

Chen Nian and his classmates often came here to take the train at that time.

It's a pity that other students are looking for long-distance girlfriends, Chen Nian is just going out to find delicious food, and the trips are not far away, Tianjin, Hebei, etc., can go back and forth in a day.

But if this place is familiar, it is only this land.

All the surrounding buildings are old and unfamiliar. The main reason is that it is 100 years away from the scene I am familiar with. Whether it is the buildings outside or the people passing by, they are completely out of touch with the Fengtai Station in my impression.

This scene is even a little tattered in the eyes of the old age.

Even some place names and street names after coming out are different.

But even so old still produced a kind of cordial feeling.

Moreover, the old alma mater already existed at this time, but it was not called Huaxia Agricultural University, but it was called Jingshi Datang University of Agricultural Sciences.

He really wanted to go there to have a look, but right now he had to find a place to stay.

Shen San found a few carriages, and it took about an hour like this. A group of people bought a carriage and came to an alley.

After getting off the car, Chen Nian looked up and took a closer look!
"Hey, Pimp Alley!"

"I know this name well!"

Looking around, Chen Nian was a little disappointed that he didn't see Lao La's house.

After a group of people entered, because there were no residents for a long time, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and there was even a feeling of returning to nature in a trance.

Those old weeds that can't be named are as tall as a person, swaying in the wind, as if expressing their dissatisfaction with these uninvited guests.

But no matter how many weeds there are, it can't hide the fact that this is a three-entry compound.

The disciples were opening the way ahead, and Shen San was recalling the scene when he was here when he was a child while walking.

Pushing open a door, the furniture inside is still there.

Nothing was lost, and there was no sign of thieves coming, but the dust on the furniture was extremely thick.

Thick people dare not go up and blow, for fear of blowing ashes all over their faces.

But even so, they still have a place to stay here.

Now that it was still early, Shen San mobilized everyone to start cleaning. The yard didn't need to be completely cleaned, but at least there must be room for people to move around in it.

Afterwards, Shen San allocated a room for them. Since not many people came, everyone could live in a room by themselves.

Anyway, there are bedding and so on.

Chen Nian was not in a hurry to see his house, but came to the kitchen.

Here I found that there is a complete set of kitchen utensils and tableware, but they are also covered with dust.

There are also some metal tableware that inevitably has some rust, but fortunately there is not much rust, and it can be removed with simple cleaning.

In addition, there will be some leftover seasonings such as salt, vinegar, baking soda and so on.

Although it has expired, the effect of cleaning these rusts is still very good.

Then Chen Nian began to get busy in the room.

He first went to the well behind to draw a lot of water, and then began to remove the rust with a brush.

About two hours later, the sky gradually darkened, and Chen Nian finally cleaned up the kitchen.

Others also cleaned up the weeds that needed to be cleaned up in the yard, and cleaned up the houses that needed to be cleaned up.

"Master Chen, when shall we have dinner?" Shen Wenlai asked at this time.

"I have tidied up the kitchen, but there is no food at home, we have to go out and buy something first." Chen Nian said.

Shen Wen nodded after hearing this: "No problem, then I'll go get the money with my father, let's go shopping, and Master Chen, your room has also been tidied up, and the bedding has been laid out neatly for you , you can sleep right away at night.”

Chen Nian showed surprise on his face, he didn't expect this group of people to be so upbeat.

It's too heartwarming, right?

"How dare you do that? I asked you to clean it up for me. I thought I'd clean it up after dinner..." Chen Nian said pretending to be embarrassed.

"It's okay, just leave these things to us, Master Chen can cook with peace of mind, and don't worry about anything else." Shen Wen felt very comfortable when he spoke.

Now that someone has cleaned up the place where he lives, Chen Nian followed Shen Wen to meet Shen San.

Going to ask them what they want to eat today.

As a result, after asking so many people in a circle, no one offered constructive opinions.

"Whatever, I'll eat anything."

"Anything is fine? Master Chen, we can eat whatever you want."

"I can't figure it out. This thing is more difficult than usual martial arts. I can't think about such complicated problems with my brain."

Of course, if this question is placed in ordinary people's homes, it may indeed confuse the family every day, but Chen Nian does not have any difficulty in choosing.

For cooks, if you have something you want to eat, you can buy it specially, but if you don’t know it, you can say it casually, then Chen Nian will think about what you want to eat and make it for them.

In the words of Master Sun, if I ask you, you don’t say anything, and you don’t eat it after cooking it. Anyway, my cooking is fine, and you like it or not.

"Okay, then I'll go out and look around and buy it." After Chen Nian finished speaking, he took Shen Wen to push a flatbed cart from the backyard and went out.

When they came just now, Chen Nian had been observing the surroundings. He knew that there was a vegetable market nearby, so he wandered around the alley to the vegetable market.

But there is one thing to say, Chen Nian found that the vegetable market here is not as big as the vegetable market he often goes to in Tianjin, and the things in it are not so complete. After simply asking, he found that the price is also slightly higher.

But even if it is expensive, you have to eat.

Chen Nian asked Shen Wen to stroll around the vegetable market with a cart, and bought a lot of rice, flour and oil, which were all for normal consumption.

After that, I also bought a lot of seasonings such as salt, vinegar, soy sauce, etc. Although they must not have enough time to live here, it is useless to buy too many of these things. it is good.

Then there are onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, aniseed, dried chili, etc., which are also necessary for cooking.

In the end, I bought a large bag of potatoes, five or six catties of celery, some peanuts, ten catties of meat and five catties of green peppers.

Everything else is for today, only potatoes are old enough to buy more.

After all, this thing is resistant to hunger, and there are many ways to do it, and it can be stored, so it doesn't matter to buy more.

But Chen Nian did not forget to bargain with the other party when buying.

Chen Nian looked like this, in Shen Wen's eyes, Chen Nian's persona and image of Xuefu Wuche were somewhat collapsed.

After all, he always thought that Chen Nian was a scholar, but just now at the vegetable stand, he was haggling over every detail and trying to be glib, how could he look like a scholar?

But Shen Wen didn't say it, because he felt that this was actually quite normal, at least this kind of old age seemed to have no sense of distance at all.

For Chen Nian, even if he bargained for the price, he did not cut it to death. After all, it is not easy for others to grow vegetables, and selling them is also a means of making a living.

In his view, bargaining is a way of socializing.

Chen Nian still understands the reason why cheap grain hurts farmers, but this can't help someone sees that Chen Nian doesn't look like a local, and asks for a particularly outrageous price.

As a result, Chen Nian had no choice but to change to a Beijing film accent to go shopping.

But even so, the price many people want is a bit inflated.

It's just that the old age with various languages ​​​​changed at will, in Shen Wen's eyes, it is only amazing.

"Master Chen, can you still speak BJ dialect?"

"A little bit." Chen Nian nodded, "I also stayed in BJ for a while before, and people's words here are still very contagious, so I will too."

"Excellent, people who have studied are really different, so what else can you say, Master Chen?" Shen Wen asked again.

Chen Nian thought for a while: "Sichuan dialect, Shanghai dialect, Northeast dialect, BJ dialect, Tianjin dialect, and some Cantonese dialects should be these."

"So many! Have you been to all these places?"

"I've been there." Chen Nian nodded and said, anyway, his image in the martial arts gym is not the same as before, with the personality of Xueba.

Although it sounds a bit contradictory and inconsistent with the cook, but who makes everyone more receptive?
If you think that a cook has a particularly advanced knowledge and has traveled all over the world, this may indeed be a bit unacceptable.

But if it is a cultural person who can always cross the north and is especially good at cooking, it seems a little reasonable.

After returning home in the evening, Chen Nian started to process the ingredients. There were only ten people here this time, so cooking the rice for these people is just like sprinkling water~
As soon as they go back to age, they start peeling potatoes.

The potatoes I bought this time were small in size. I peeled a total of [-] potatoes, washed them, cut them into shreds and put them in a basin of cold water.

It is worth mentioning that when Chen Nian was cooking, Shen San ordered everyone to wash and fill up several water tanks in the yard. One of the water tanks was to be used in the kitchen, and the rest It is used for daily washing and washing clothes, or for wiping some tables and cabinets, etc.

Chen Nian plans to do something simple tonight.

A hot and sour potato shreds, a cold dish of celery and peanuts, and a fried pork with green peppers.

Finally, boil a pot of millet porridge.

These dishes are quick dishes, so it didn't take long for the dishes to be ready.

Since the weather is a little hot now, they directly set up the dining table in the yard.

Looking at the big pot of vegetables in front of them and the millet porridge in the greenhouse, everyone sat in a circle, feeling extremely warm.

"Everyone's food tonight is a bit crude, so let's eat it like this first, and I will buy some fresh food tomorrow morning, so we can eat better at noon."

"It's okay, Master Chen, what do you think you are talking about? Where did you miss it? I originally thought that we could only eat the dry food we brought on the first day, but I didn't expect that Master Chen could make such a big one." The table dishes are here." Shen San said.

Chen Nian smiled, and then Shen San greeted everyone for dinner.

Although he said that just now, Chen Nian also thinks that today's food is quite delicious.

The hot and sour potato shreds and celery and peanut salad taste very refreshing. For meat, there is also fried pork with green peppers.

In this way, Chen Nian drank a big bowl of millet porridge, ate a lot of vegetables, and put down the bowl and chopsticks until his stomach was full.

"Okay, everyone go back and rest first, I'll clean up the rest." Chen Nian said.

But today is the first day, and everyone has nothing to do, so there is no need to go into details about what they stayed to help Chen Nian clean up together.

……

Lying on a strange bed at night, Chen Nian looked at the ceiling.

He is not unaccustomed, anyway, every time he wakes up from the dream, it is a different environment.

And speaking of which, the current environment is good enough. I don’t know how many times in the past, I started poorly, and even woke up directly from the street.

Thinking like this, Chen Nian gradually fell asleep.

On the second day, Chen Nian went out to buy vegetables early in the morning with a flatbed cart.

Since he was the first one to get up every day, Shen San directly gave him the keys of the front door and the back door.

When I came to the vegetable market, the vegetables and meat in the morning were much fresher than those in the afternoon. You could even see the dew on some of the vegetables. Even the soil at the root of the vegetables was wet, obviously they had just been plucked from the ground. come out.

But after shopping around, Chen Nian didn't think about what to buy.

Sometimes when you go out to buy groceries, you just have to look at your eyesight, especially if you haven't decided what to eat.

In the end, I looked at the cucumbers and radishes on one of the stalls in the old age. They were very beautiful, with a moderate length and a well-proportioned thickness.

Although there is still fresh soil on it, it still cannot conceal the essence of its outstanding appearance.

But what can you cook if you eat only these?
Chen Nian was thinking hard in his heart.

"Master, help me think about how to eat these (zhei) cucumbers and carrots? There are people number 10 in my place, and I don't know what to do for them."

The uncle also saw that Chen Nian had wandered here for a long time, and he couldn't figure out which dish Chen Nian wanted to buy.

At this time, when Chen Nian opened his mouth, he was delighted to hear it, and showed his yellow teeth: "Hey! Didn't you just ask? My cucumber and shredded carrot are both good products, nothing else , just look at this look, these two are a must if you buy them back, no matter whether you eat them with cold dishes or make them with noodles with fried sauce, I’ll tell you.”

"Jajiang noodles!"

Uncle's words enlightened Chen Nian, yes!

You can make fried noodles by yourself!
This thing is easy to make, let alone 10 people, it is not difficult to add dozens of people, anyway, it is just cooking sauce and kneading noodles.

"Okay, thank you sir, then I'll order some cucumber and shredded radish, and I'll go back to make noodles with fried sauce for them at noon today." Chen Nian said.

Chen Nian squatted down and picked out the cucumbers and radishes. When paying the bill, he asked the old man to wipe off the zeros. He also used his three-inch tongue to ask the old man to give him three heads of fresh garlic. These can also be taken back and eaten immediately. eat.

Just after Chen Nian left contentedly, the uncle sighed: "Now this young man is so talkative, it's fortunate that he was allowed to leave early, otherwise we would have become brothers if we let him continue talking." , but this young man's words are interesting."

The uncle said this while peeling a fresh green onion from his stall, and then he did not know where to find a wine bottle.

"Kacha", the uncle took a bite of the green onion, then raised the wine bottle and took another mouthful.

"I still have to have Niu Er this morning."

After leaving from the vegetable seller, Chen Nian went to the sauce and pickle place to buy some yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce, as well as beans and pickles.

Then I went to a place selling steamed buns and bought fifty steamed buns before returning to the pimp alley.

There is nothing to say in the morning, just porridge and steamed buns with pickles.

Even in the martial arts hall, they usually eat these.

It's just that after Shen San came to the kitchen, he saw that there didn't seem to be any extra ingredients here, but he was very sure that Chen Nian must have gone shopping in the morning.

So he asked curiously, "Shall we have lunch today?"

Chen Nian, on the other hand, kept a mysterious face: "Third Master, let me show you off, but I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied with what I eat at noon."

Chen Nian has stayed here for a long time, and he also knows that he and the third master can sometimes joke around.

Otherwise, if you put it elsewhere, maybe you will have to pack up and leave just because of this sentence.

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words, but after breakfast, I'll take my apprentices to the venue to have a look, first to familiarize myself with the venue, but I will definitely be back for lunch at noon, so you should prepare first. "

"Okay, third master." Chen Nian nodded respectfully.

After breakfast in the morning, Chen Nian cleaned up the kitchen, and began to think about how to make fried noodles.

Old BJ fried noodles, Chen Nian had eaten a lot when he was in school, and he knew the general method.

There are still some differences between the pasta in the north and the south.

Compared with Chongqing noodles, the noodles used in Chongqing noodles are alkaline water noodles, but the old BJ noodles are not.

Although Chen Nian has never done it himself, he did talk about it when he discussed making Chongqing noodles with Miao Miaowu.

The difference between old BJ noodles and Chongqing noodles is that there is no special standard for old BJ noodles. The noodles made by every household may have different tastes, and each family has its own unique style. formula.

Therefore, no one dares to say that their own is authentic, but this thing just needs to eat delicious food.

While thinking about it, Chen Nian prepared to start making noodles.

The noodles are also put in water to make them alive, but the fried noodles are a little more particular. Before kneading the noodles, some water is prepared first, and then a few eggs are beaten in a bowl, and then poured into the water after stirring well.

Put some salt in the water, then stir the bowl of water evenly, and pour it into the basin.

There is already noodles in the basin.

While pouring in, aging while stirring.

Pour it in several times, and he doesn't want to make lumps in the noodles.
