Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 535 Talking about the past

After the two sat down, Chen Nian solemnly introduced the two of them to each other again.

After all, if they want to get married in the future, the relationship between the two of them is mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been very difficult since ancient times. Chen Nian doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen at home in the future.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he didn't want to make any choices between them in the future.

He still prefers family harmony if he can.

In this way, after guiding the two to get to know each other briefly, Chen Nian stood up and took out a pot of popcorn from the kitchen: "This is the popcorn I made just now, you guys eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to get some For other snacks, let's chat while eating."

Chen Nian then returned to the kitchen to continue making his onion rings and French fries.

These two things are not difficult to do. The next step is to coat the onion ring with a layer of egg liquid, then a layer of bread crumbs, then another layer of egg liquid, and then a layer of bread crumbs...

Then put it directly into the frying pan and fry it.

In terms of controlling the oil temperature, aging is now basically infallible.

After frying the onion rings, Chen Nian served them out while they were still hot, along with a small dish of ketchup.

Then I came back and took out the potato strips that had been cut and soaked in the pot before, and then put them in boiling water and boiled them for more than a minute.

At this time, the texture of the potatoes has begun to become a little loose. If the previous potatoes can still bend out of the arc stubbornly, then the current potatoes will break off as long as they are bent with a little force.

But that's what aging wants.

After wiping off the moisture on the surface of the potatoes with a special kitchen paper towel, heat the oil in the pot again. Tiny oil droplets emerged.

Under normal circumstances, this is no different from a fatal blow to novices, but to Chen Nian, a veteran kitchen driver, this little flying oil does not cause any harm at all.

In this way, the old man watched the potato sticks gradually put on a protective shell in the pot, and gradually turned into an attractive golden yellow color.

Only then did he fish out the potatoes and shake the oil droplets on them up and down.

Then he put the fried French fries into the basin.

But he finally thought about it, and finally chose Uncle Mai between Uncle Ken and Uncle Mai, so he grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it in a very enchanting posture, while holding the stainless steel basin, so that the salt could be mixed with the salt. Chips touch more evenly.

……

While Chen Nian was busy in the kitchen, he was not idle outside.

Under normal circumstances, it would be more appropriate for the elders to speak first. Feng Honghong herself is an extrovert, although she was a little nervous when meeting her daughter-in-law (cross out) her son's girlfriend for the first time.

But after getting used to this identity, he gradually started to talk more.

"Girl, what did you major in college? Did you just learn singing?" Feng Honghong asked curiously.

"Yes, auntie, I went to university in Shanghai, because I liked singing very much when I was young, so my parents enrolled me in guitar training classes in junior high school, and learned vocal music in high school. the school you want to go to.”

Feng Honghong listened to An Hongdou's answer with a smile on her face: "It's great. I can have a hobby since I was a child, and I can go to the school I want to go to when I grow up. The school scores in Shanghai should not be low, right?"

An Hongdou didn't mind talking about this, after all, she knew that her parents were like this, and Feng Honghong, as Chen Nian's mother, should ask more about herself, her son's girlfriend.

"At that time, I scored 590 points in the culture class." An Hongdou said.

"590 one! That's so high! Auntie also knows some art majors, but they seem to have a score of three or four hundred, and the better ones may be in the early five hundred."

"Actually, it's okay. There are still many people in school who are better than me." An Hongdou blushed slightly when she heard Feng Honghong's calm praise, but said modestly.

"That's different, but Auntie is very envious of people like you, who have hobbies they like, and work in the field they like."

"Auntie, do you have any hobbies?" An Hongdou planned to take the initiative to ask.

"I..." Feng Honghong thought for a while, "Actually, I just like to eat delicious food. I am happy when I eat delicious food, and I also like to go out to play. When Chen Nian's father was still there, he Take me out to play for a year, we went to a lot of places, and ate a lot of food, now think about it, it still feels very good."

"Auntie, you and I have another hobby that is very similar. When I just graduated from college, I saved some money and went to some places. When I ran out of money, I found some part-time jobs in singing. When I saved enough travel expenses and After paying for the meal at the next place, I immediately bought a ticket and continued to go out to play." An Hongdou suddenly felt as if she had met a confidant.

And Feng Honghong couldn't help but brighten up when she heard what An Hongdou said: "Fate! But you are much braver than me. I wanted to go out to play by myself at the time, but I didn't dare. Fortunately, I followed Chen Nian's father." .”

An Hongdou suddenly discovered that Chen Nian's parents were also in love with gods.

Chen Nian had said back then that his father cooked delicious food every day in order to catch up with his mother, and directly named the restaurant that had been open for many years after Feng Honghong.

On weekdays, Feng Honghong would eat whatever he wanted. Even when Feng Honghong was angry when he was young, Chen Nian's father was never in a hurry.

And just after Chen Nian went to university, Lao Chen directly took Feng Honghong to travel around China, eating all the way, eating all over the north and south of the river, fulfilling the dream that was not realized when he was young.

Even when he left at the end, after exhorting all the family members, the last sentence he said was to Feng Honghong.

He has fulfilled his original promise to raise Feng Honghong to 150 catties, and raised Chen Nian with his wife.

But the only regret is that I didn't cook for my wife for a lifetime.

An Hongdou remembered that she cried when she heard this.

Her mind is full of a middle-aged man who has been tortured by the disease and is already in pain, and the whole body has shown a sickly skinny class.

Tubes were inserted all over his body, but even so he still looked affectionately at his wife beside the hospital bed, trying to show his last smile to bid farewell to his beloved wife.

"Auntie, I think Chen Nian is very nice!" Suddenly An Hongdou looked at Feng Honghong and said.

While talking, he couldn't help looking at Chen Nian who was in the kitchen with erratic eyes.

Chen Nian, who was busy in the kitchen, just raised his head and looked outside.

He raised his hand that was still stained with flour and waved it inside.

Feng Honghong didn't know why she was moved when she heard this. After thinking about it, it was probably because the son she raised was so liked by a girl.

"Yeah, Chen Nian is very good. We haven't worried about it since we were young. Every time someone talks about it, you look at the son of the old Chen family. What's wrong with Chen Nian, but this child has one shortcoming. He was rather stubborn. When he got that score in the test, we suggested that he apply for a computer, finance, doctor, etc., which are relatively easy to work and have a high ceiling, but he insisted that he wanted to learn to be a chef.

If it weren't for his father's speaking, he might have gone to New Oriental to go to school, but even so he still studied a food major. "

"Then you're willing to let him go?"

"I don't want to! What can I do if I don't want to? That is, the child likes it. If we insist on forcing him to take a major that he doesn't like, let alone whether he is willing to learn it after he goes to school. To remember and hate us forever.

At that time, his dad and I thought that we could go to whatever we wanted. Anyway, we still have a restaurant at home. Even if the restaurant doesn’t open in the future, selling the restaurant will bring us a lot of money. "

"That's great." An Hongdou felt from the bottom of her heart that Chen Nian's family was too happy.

At this time, Chen Nian had prepared snacks and brought them out.

"You guys chatted pretty well. Although I can't hear you clearly inside, I can see that you get along very well." Chen Nian put the snacks on the table, and then sat next to An Hongdou himself.

"Of course, we just chatted and found out that our hobbies are the same!"

When Chen Nian heard this, he was a little surprised: "But I remember you singing out of tune!"

Feng Honghong couldn't help turning black when she heard this: "What I'm saying is that we all like to eat delicious food and travel."

"Oh, so Mom, that's what you said.

Chen Nian suddenly realized.

But Feng Honghong was thinking in her heart what kind of dead son this is, why did she say everything outside?

Soon they were eating freshly fried French fries again.

The French fries are crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside, and the outside is sprinkled with a thin layer of salt. After one bite, you can feel the light salty taste on the top and the aroma of the potatoes themselves.

When the teeth touch the French fries, you can feel that the outer golden shell is really crispy, but it is extremely thin, and you can cut the French fries effortlessly.

During chewing, the crispy layer of the outer skin and the dense inner layer collide with each other, and the light salt taste sublimates the whole French fries.

Perhaps eating only French fries without salt can taste the original taste, but adding salt to it is definitely not a wrong choice.

"The fries are so delicious, they are exactly the same as the ones I ate outside!" An Hongdou couldn't help but admire.

If the previous onion rings and popcorn had already amazed her enough, the freshly baked french fries were exactly what she wanted.

Because she loves potatoes very much.

"This kid is exactly like his father. I still remember that every time Chen Nian came back from vacation, he would discuss cooking with his father, but instead of cooking a good meal, he insisted on making some dark dishes. His father's cooking is not bad, but I don't know what Chen Nian is thinking. Every time he makes those things, he looks scary. If he hadn't been very obedient since he was a child, and his grades in school are also good. He always gets scholarships. Thought he failed in school."

"Hahaha..." An Hongdou couldn't help laughing out loud, "Auntie, I have eaten the dark dishes he made a few times before, but most of them should be made by imitating uncle, the dark dishes he researched by himself. I seem to have eaten the food once."

"Don't!" Hearing this, Feng Honghong couldn't help giving advice from the elders: "Eating once is enough, and it should be something he can afford, but other aunts advise you not to try it!"

After speaking, he looked at Chen Nian again: "I have never hit you since I was a child, but if you dare to take out those things and make them for Hongdou, see if I can hit you!"

Hearing this, Chen Nian looked innocent: "Mom, not all of the dishes I made taste bad, but the shape is a bit avant-garde, and I think the garlic black bread fish I made that time was actually quite good. .”

After Feng Honghong heard the words garlic black bread fish, she felt that her breathing was not smooth, and she thought of something bad.

"Say it again! If you say it again, I'll tell you about lying on the bed and peeing on the cabinet when you were a child!"

When Chen Nian heard that his mother was going to come here for real, he immediately kept silent.

But in An Hongdou's eyes, this scene felt that the relationship between the mother and son was particularly harmonious.

Although sometimes it is noisy, but they are all joking, and they will not be anxious when talking.

"By the way, Hongdou, what do your parents do?"

In the end, Feng Honghong still asked such a question. After all, as a parent, I still have to consider this aspect.

Although she doesn't mind the woman's family conditions, if the woman's parents can also have formal jobs, or have retired, the young couple will live more comfortably.

It's just that she can't say these words, but it's still okay to ask the woman's parents about their jobs like this.

"They, one is a university teacher, and the other is from an art troupe."

"That's not bad, it's considered a scholarly family, but our family is actually considered a scholarly family, that is, his father came out to be a chef in old age."

"Auntie, I think the 360 ​​line, the number one in every line, is because of uncle's superb cooking skills, the current old age, and the old one was also admitted to a good school, it belongs to and inherited the good genes of uncle , and inherited the Chen family's previous scholarly family status." An Hongdou said.

"Yeah, and let alone, I think the two of you are a good match when you two sit together." Feng Honghong changed the topic to the two of them again.
In fact, it was also because I was relieved after knowing what An Hongdou's parents did.

But soon she thought that the other party's family background was indeed much stronger than her own. One was a university teacher and the other was in an art troupe.

Moreover, they have both parents, but Chen Nian only has one mother.

Although she still had a smile on her face, she actually felt a little nervous in her heart, because she really liked Hongdou very much and wanted An Hongdou to truly become her daughter-in-law.

But Feng Honghong was worried that if Chen Nian went to meet the other's parents, the other party knew that Chen Nian was just a chef, would they look down on him?

And their daughters are now big and small stars, and they are completely in the same circle as Chen Nian, who is a chef.

Perhaps they will feel that it is just a novelty now, and the gap between the two will become wider and wider in the future?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help worrying about gains and losses.
