Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry

"Okay, let's talk about this later, I have to go to the master's house today to pay New Year's greetings."

Su Wenwen waved her little hand and said something.

"I don't know if Master has made Lantern Festival yet. Ask if those two have set off yet?"

Jiang Yingying is still missing the Lantern Festival made by Zhou Mochen.

"Already set off, you called me just now. Let's go too."

After Su Wenwen finished speaking, she changed into her coat and shoes. The three of them drove to Zhou Mochen's house.

"Master, Master, we are here."

Bai Chenghuan and Guan Ziqi arrived first. As soon as you push the door, you go in.

"Here we go. Sit down."

Zhou Mochen said with a smile when he saw the two apprentices.

"Hey. Master, wife, happy new year. Xiangxiang, Qianqian, how are you all? Come, this is a gift my brothers bought for you."

The two first paid New Year greetings to Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai, and then handed the presents to Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian.

"Thank you brother!"

The two little guys liked it very much, and took the doll with a smile.

The three of Jiang Yingying also arrived after a while. At this moment, the Zhou Mansion suddenly became lively.

"Today's meal depends on you. The ingredients are all in the kitchen, and you can use them as you like. I made the Lantern Festival."

Zhou Mochen looked at the time and said something.

"Okay, master."

Jiang Yingying said confidently. You don't need to think about it to know that the realm has been stabilized, and other people have also improved to varying degrees.

Then everyone went to the kitchen.

"You. You know how to order disciples."

Zhao Jinmai looked at Zhou Mochen amusedly and said.

"What's the matter. I'm trying to teach them their skills."

Zhou Mochen raised his eyebrows.

Everyone was waiting for lunch. Each made their own specialty dishes. The apprentices were busy in the kitchen, and Zhou Mochen's family sat outside drinking tea and watching TV.

After 12 o'clock, a table of delicious meals is ready. Zhou Mochen looked at it and nodded. As far as the appearance is concerned, I am very satisfied.

"Master, teacher's wife. It's time to eat."

Jiang Yingying set the table and chopsticks and said something.

The two little guys immediately ran to wash their hands. are used to it. Then he sat down in his seat obediently. Waiting for Zhou Mochen to bring them food.

"Good job. The restaurant opened a few days late. You all went to the imperial capital for rating. I told your teacher in advance."

Zhou Mochen tasted all the dishes made by his apprentices one by one. Breakthroughs were found. He smiled and said.

"Yeah, I see, Master."

Jiang Yingying nodded with a smile.

"Let's eat."

Zhou Mochen replied.

"By the way, master, when shall I go to the private restaurant?"

After eating for a while, Jiang Yingying asked.

"Come directly to the private restaurant when you come back from the imperial capital. The four of you, Cheng Huan, are fine at the restaurant."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said.

"alright, I got it."

Jiang Yingying nodded.

"I went back to see my parents, what do you say?"

Zhou Mochen asked again.

"My father and mother said that they plan to choose the day of National Day. We can have a holiday on National Day. We don't want to delay doing business."

Jiang Yingying glanced at Fifth Jinchuan and said embarrassedly.

"Okay. It's okay to take a few more days off."

Zhou Mochen nodded and said something.

"Hey, congratulations, Senior Sister, Junior Brother."

Bai Chenghuan and the others said with a smile. Also made a joke. Then Jiang Yingying glared at her before giving up.

After several people had eaten. Su Wenwen went to make tea. In the store, she also learned a lot of tea making skills. Others went to clean up the mess.

Zhou Mochen gave Zhao Jinmai a look. The latter immediately knew what it meant. Get up and go to the study. Then he took out a bag and put it on the table.

"Master! Mistress, drink tea."

Su Wenwen said with a smile after brewing the tea. I also poured myself a glass.

"Wenwen, give me a drink."

"And I."

The few people who cleaned up the mess also came out after a while.

"Well, there are both."

Su Wenwen smiled and poured a glass each.

"Here, this belongs to the few of you. I picked it out for you with your teacher's wife years ago. The house is not big enough for you to live in."

Zhou Mochen said and took out the house book from the bag. It has names on it. I bought it in a community. They are all in Jiang Yingying's neighborhood, with the same house type. Same size.

"Master! This, this is too precious."

Su Wenwen opened it and saw that it was her own name, and the name of the community was all too familiar. Looking at the square footage, I can't laugh or cry, isn't a house with more than 100 square meters too big? It's already big for them.

"That's right. Master. It's not suitable for us. You have treated us very well."

Jiang Yingying didn't expect that the house she was living in now had her own name on it. Looking at the date, it was before she moved in. My heart felt warm all of a sudden.

"Okay, your master gave it to you, so take it. I originally thought about buying a wedding house for Yingying, but the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. I will buy it early and late. If you have a house, you can fall in love and get married. , not too small."

Zhao Jinmai said with a smile.

"Take it, just learn how to cook well. But I'm not responsible for the decoration until you come by yourself. I want to go to Yang Shao with peace of mind. I told him. There is also the matter of the car. When you get married I'll give it to anyone who gets married."

Zhou Mochen also continued.

"Thank you, Master. We must study hard."

Everyone immediately promised.

And Jiang Yingying and Fifth Jinchuan looked at each other, thinking that they owed their master even more. They thought there was only one house before, but now they have one house for each person. The others didn't say anything. There is no sense of jealousy at all.

"By the way, Yingying. Inform Chai Xue and Shen Lin that they will come home tomorrow. You guys will come too. Tomorrow they will be formally accepted as disciples."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and gave another order.

"Yeah, okay, Master. I'll let them know in a moment."

Jiang Yingying was also happy for the two of them. Both of them got along very well with the rest of the shop.

"Sister Yingying, is what you said true?"

Chai Xue heard Jiang Yingying's words in disbelief.

"Really, can you come tomorrow?"

Jiang Yingying said something with a smile.

"Yes. Yes. Me, I'll buy a ticket to go there now."

Chai Xue was too excited. After hanging up the phone, I jumped and laughed.

"Haha, Dad, Dad. I succeeded. God Zhou is willing to accept me as an apprentice."

Chai Xue hugged her father excitedly and said.

"My girl is the best. Since you are an apprentice, learn hard, and don't embarrass your master."

Papa Chai lovingly rubbed Chai Xue's head.

"Yeah. Don't worry, Dad. But I can't spend the Lantern Festival at home today. I'm going to Sioux City now, otherwise tomorrow will be late."

Chai Xue's hometown is still some distance away from Sioux City, and she originally planned to go there tomorrow. I can't care about that much now.

While Shen Lin was excited, he also regretted that his friend was not with him. But I can teach him after I have learned it. Also bid farewell to his family and bought a ticket to go to Sioux City.

On the evening of the Lantern Festival, Ling Zihan and Su Xiaoxiao also went to Zhou Mochen's house. Jiang Yingying and the others directly came to a hot pot banquet. The hot pot banquet here is not shabu-shabu.

There are meat, vegetarian, and fungi. Various flavors of fresh, spicy and spicy. Let everyone have a good time. Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, everything that one expects to find.

The two little guys also played crazy with Su Xiaoxiao, and they were reluctant to leave when they left.

Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai looked at each other and laughed.

"Okay, it's getting late. We're going to wash up and go to bed. Smell, you don't smell good at all."

Zhou Mochen said while hugging the two unhappy little guys.

"No, Dad, wash Xiangxiang!"

Zhou Xiangxiang really went to smell it, and immediately clamored to go upstairs to take a bath.

Zhou Qianqian didn't speak, but the disgusted expression already explained the problem.

"Okay, okay, let mom wash the incense for you."

Zhou Mochen said with a smile.

After returning to the bedroom. Zhao Jinmai led the little ones to take a bath first. After playing in the bathroom for a while, the water came out. It seems that children like to play in water, Zhou Mochen is still thinking about letting them learn to swim when they are older.

After Zhou Mochen came out, the three beauties sat obediently on the stools, waiting for Zhou Mochen to blow their hair. The latter smiled helplessly. Then he started his mission.

"Okay, our babies are Xiang. Go play with my sister."

After blowing Zhou Qianqian's hair, he carried her to the small bed. Zhou Xiangxiang was having fun inside.

"Thank you dad! mua!"

Zhou Qianqian hugged Zhou Mochen and kissed him.

"So cute."

Zhou Mochen said something with a smile, and then began to blow Zhao Jinmai's hair.

"Hmph, I really gave birth to two little rivals in love."

Zhao Jinmai said something full of jealousy.

"You, you still eat children's jealousy."

Zhou Mochen pinched Zhao Jinmai's puffy face and said with a smile.

"Should have given birth to a son for you."

Zhao Jinmai gave him a white look and said. But there are smiles in the eyes.

"Okay. How about you give me two more sons?"

Zhou Mochen said with a smile.

"Huh? It's not that I can't think about it. No, I will be born again in two years. I have just stepped into the film industry not long ago."

Zhao Jinmai thought about it seriously, and then replied.

"Okay, when you want to give birth, we can give birth at any time."

Zhou Mochen gently blows his hair.

"OK."

After speaking, he laughed.

"Okay, it's blown dry."

Zhou Mochen combed Zhao Jinmai's hair, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Xiangxiang and Qianqian are about to fall asleep."

Zhao Jinmai got up and went to the vicinity of her daughter's crib. I saw that the two little guys were already dozing off.

"Then I'll put them to sleep first."

Saying put away the hair dryer. I went to coax my daughter. And Zhao Jinmai looked at Weibo.

After a while the little ones fell asleep. Zhao Jinmai also followed the trend and posted it. Wrapped around Zhou Mochen like a snake. I have to say that being soft is good.

"Honey, you called Yingying here, are you planning to let her take over?"

Zhao Jinmai asked while lying sideways in Zhou Mochen's arms.

"Well. Yes. She is going to take over here. Her realm is enough. You can learn other cuisines. You can play better here. I don't need to stay in the kitchen every day. I can Free up more time to teach apprentices."

Zhou Mochen gently stroked her fragrant shoulder and said.

"Hehe, my husband is going to retire?"

Zhao Jinmai suddenly remembered what he said before.

"Well, you can also consider the issue of pension."

Zhou Mochen replied with a smile.

"Hmph, your mentality is old."

Zhao Jin and Mai Jiao snorted.

"Huh? Dare I say I'm old, I'll let you know if I'm old or not."

After speaking, he picked up Zhao Jinmai and went to the cloakroom.

"Phew! I hate it."

Zhao Jinmai exclaimed. He quickly hugged Zhou Mochen's neck.

After a while, beautiful music sounded.

"Also, do you still think I'm old?"

"No, no. Annoying!"

"."

A thought-provoking dialogue sounded. intermittent. It has been going on for a long time.

The next day, Chai Xue woke up very early. She also paid attention to her bedtime yesterday, she wanted to face Zhou Mochen with a better appearance. Look at yourself in the mirror. The smile on his face couldn't be hidden at all. Very happy.

Had a nice breakfast on the street. Just set off according to the address.

"Is it here? It's so beautiful."

Chai Xue looked at the gate and the surrounding environment, and knew that the houses in this place were very expensive before entering the yard.

"Chai Xue, good morning."

Shen Lin also arrived at this time, and greeted Chai Xue at the door.

"Morning Shen Lin!"

Chai Xue returned a big smile. The two studied together for half a year and worked for several months. Already familiar.

"Let's go."

Shen Lin knew that Chai Xue was able to come, she must be the same as himself. From now on, you will really be your own person.

The two pressed the smart system.

"Master, they must be here, I will open the door."

Jiang Yingying was already at Zhou Mochen's house at this time, and when she heard the voice, she knew it was Chai Xue and the others. Stand up and go out.

"You are here."

When I opened the door, I saw two people standing outside.

"Miss Yingying."

The two said respectfully.

"Come in. Master is waiting for you. The others are here too."

Jiang Yingying said something with a smile, and then led the two of them in.

As soon as they saw the courtyard, the two were attracted, as if they had arrived at the place where Wang Zun and nobles lived in ancient times. very beautiful.

"coming."

Zhou Mochen saw two people come in and have a conversation.

"Master!"

The two looked at each other and shouted directly.

"Well, it seems that I have been recognized. There are five senior brothers and sisters in front of you. Shen Lin is ranked sixth, and Chai Xue is the seventh. Compared with the other three, you don't see many of these two. Your fourth senior brother Fifth Jinchuan, Fifth Senior Sister Su Wenwen."

After Zhou Mochen's introduction, he began to prepare for the apprenticeship process. I still learned from Qin Zongsheng. Well-behaved a apprenticeship process. Zhou Mochen specially invited a family tree of his master for this purpose. Officially wrote the names of the two people. There are also detailed records.

After apprenticeship, Zhou Mochen prepared gifts for the two of them. One person gave a set of knives that worked well.

"Since I have already apprenticed, I will teach you personally. I will report at a private restaurant every other day. How to learn? Remember to learn from your brothers and sisters. I have chosen different cuisines for you according to your habits. Shen Lin Hui cuisine, Chai Xue Hunan cuisine."

Zhou Mochen knew the taste of the two people's hometown and their own taste. So I chose these two cuisines deliberately.

Anhui cuisine is AH cuisine, which is a general term for southern Anhui cuisine, Wanjiang cuisine, Hefei cuisine, Huainan cuisine and northern Anhui cuisine represented by southern Anhui cuisine. Among them, the southern Anhui flavor is represented by Huizhou local cuisine, which is the mainstream and origin of Huizhou cuisine.

Anhui cuisine uses Huizhou special products as the main raw materials. On the basis of adopting folk traditional cooking techniques, it absorbs the strengths of other cuisines and cooks local dishes that are mainly salty and delicious. Anhui cuisine has a rich cultural heritage and is one of the eight famous cuisines in the country.

Its main flavor features are mainly salty and fresh, highlighting the original taste, paying attention to fire skills, and paying attention to food supplements. In terms of cooking methods, techniques such as roasting, stewing, braising, steaming, and smoking are the main techniques. The main dishes include banquet dishes, five gui, eight dishes and ten bowls, nine bowls and six, eight bowls and twelve dishes, six big pots, public dishes and so on. The main famous banquets include Bagongshan Tofu Banquet, Bao Gong Banquet, Hongwu Banquet and so on.

The first cooking method of Anhui cuisine is to use local ingredients to win with freshness. Huidi is rich in mountain delicacies, wild game, river fresh poultry, and local materials to highlight the local characteristics of dishes and ensure freshness.

The second is to make good use of the heat, and the fire skill is unique. According to the texture characteristics of different raw materials and the flavor requirements of finished dishes, they are cooked on high, medium and low heat respectively.

The third is to be skilled in stewing and stewing, with appropriate thickness. In addition to the unique techniques of frying, stir-frying, flaming, deep-frying, braising, boiling, roasting, and warming, it is especially famous for roasting, stewing, smoking, and steaming dishes.

The fourth is to pay attention to nature and nourish the body with food. The raw materials of Anhui cuisine are rich in resources, fine in texture, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

Huizhou has a mild climate, moderate rainfall, four distinct seasons, and abundant products. It is rich in tea, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, chestnuts, yams, and mountain chickens, stone fish, stone ears, soft-shelled turtles, and eagle turtles. The famous "Qi Hong" "Tun Lv" is a world-famous Huizhou specialty.

When Anhui cuisine goes to the whole country, it still maintains heavy color: the power of toning; heavy oil: the power of seasoning; heavy fire power: the power of tempering. Such as old or tender, hard or soft, knotted or loose, etc. Anhui cuisine is traditionally seasoned with ham.

Hunan cuisine, also known as Hunan cuisine, is one of the eight major cuisines of the Han nationality with a long history in China. It has been formed as early as the Han Dynasty. There are mainly three local flavors in the Xiangjiang River Basin, Dongting Lake area and Xiangxi mountainous area.

Hunan cuisine is finely prepared, with a wide range of ingredients, varied tastes, and a wide variety. The color is oily and thick, and it is affordable. In terms of taste, focus on spicy, delicious, soft and tender. In terms of preparation methods, it is famous for simmering, stewing, waxing, steaming and frying.

Hunan cuisine has always attached great importance to the combination of raw materials and the mutual penetration of flavors. Hunan cuisine is particularly seasoned and spicy. Due to the geographical location, Hunan has a mild and humid climate, so people like to eat chili peppers to refresh themselves and get rid of dampness. At the same time, stir-frying is also a specialty of Hunanese cooking.

It has a long history. Among the three major cooking techniques of hot cooking, cold cooking and sweetening, there are as few as a few kinds of cooking techniques in each category, and dozens of cooking techniques.

Relatively speaking, Hunan cuisine is even better at simmering, almost reaching the point of perfection. Simmering can be divided into red simmering and white simmering in terms of color change. In terms of seasoning, there are clear soup simmering, thick soup simmering and milk soup simmering. Cooked slowly over low heat, the original taste. Some dishes are crystal clear and mellow, some vegetable juices are pure and nourishing, some dishes are soft and glutinous, some are crispy and delicious, and many dishes cooked out of simmering have become famous dishes in Hunan cuisine.

"Understood, Master."

Although the two of them didn't know what Hunan cuisine and Anhui cuisine Zhou Mochen thought of, it didn't hinder their trust in Zhou Mochen. Zhou Mochen had his reasons for saying this.

Then at noon, Zhou Mochen let them know what Hunan cuisine is and what Anhui cuisine is. Let the apprentices stay for lunch.

Hunan cuisine has selected a few representative dishes, among which there must be fish heads with chopped peppers. Stir-fried pork with chili, Xiangxi grandma's dish. Add Zuan tofu.

Zuan Hunan Cuisine was founded by Tan Yankai, a celebrity in Hunan from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and his chef. Zu'an Hunan cuisine has won people's favor with the food concept of "excellent selection of raw materials, fine knife processing, exquisite cooking skills, and precise taste". It is called "the source of Hunan cuisine". Zu'an Hunan cuisine is a famous series and important genre.

For Anhui cuisine, I chose Huizhou steamed chicken, Hu's first-class pot, fire-baked side bamboo shoots, and squirrel yellow croaker.

Among them, Zhou Mochen's favorite is Yipin Guo, which is very suitable for eating in winter.

Yipinguo is a large-scale traditional dish of AH. It is compatible with a variety of precious foods. It is very exquisite in production. It has its own characteristics in cooking methods, containers, serving formats and eating meanings. Its reputation is comparable to that of "Buddha Tiaoqiang" in Fuzhou, Fujian.

The cooking of "Yipinguo" is more particular. In the hot pot, dry bamboo shoots are spread on the bottom of the pot, a piece of meat is spread on the second layer, white tofu or fried tofu is on the third layer, meatballs are on the fourth layer, and meatballs are on the fifth layer. Cover with vermicelli, garnish with spinach or day lily, add seasoning and appropriate amount of water, then simmer over low heat and serve. This dish has a strong local flavor, rich and fresh taste, which is appetizing.

But Hu's first-class pot is more particular. When Hu Shi was the ambassador to the United States, he often entertained foreign friends with "Yipinguo", which won praise from everyone.

The method of "Yipinguo" is to mix various raw materials and ingredients, and then use a large iron pot with two ears to spread them into several layers. The bottom layer is shredded radish, dried carob, bamboo shoots, wax gourd, winter bamboo shoots, etc. The bottom layer of ingredients is called a "pad". On top of the "pad pot", there are meat, tofu buns, duck clips, meatballs, chicken nuggets, game and so on.

One dish and one pattern are called "one floor", the more floors and the higher the level, the better. After each layer is laid in turn, it must be heated to make the whole pot boil for a few minutes, and then simmered slowly for three or four hours, and the original soup is poured from top to bottom with a spoon from time to time to penetrate its flavor. Yipin Guo is well-fired, oily but not greasy, rotten but not melted, hot but not scalded, cold but not cooled, maintaining the perfect combination of color, fragrance and taste.

What shocked Chai Xue and Shen Lin was that they liked the cuisine Zhou Mochen chose for them very much. All are in line with your own taste. And it was the first time to eat food cooked by Zhou Mochen. That feeling is really unbelievable.

Some things really can't be said. I often hear that the food cooked by Zhou Mochen is delicious, but I have never tried it myself. This time I really felt what it means to be delicious. Jiang Yingying and the others snickered when they saw the reaction of the two.

After lunch, everyone left. Jiang Yingying and the others also booked a ticket to the imperial capital.

"I'll wipe it. What the hell. I thought the door would open tomorrow. There is also an extension of the holiday."

And Zhou Mochen's announcement at this time also caused dissatisfaction among many fans and diners. However, if they are dissatisfied, they only dare to complain on Weibo.

"By the way, is there some secret that can't be told? I just saw Jiang Yingying and the others go to the airport."

One of the fans who just came back from outside replied. (end of this chapter)
