Chapter 100 Invitation
But even so, Fu Xin will still make up for all the books he has not read because of this.
Fu Xin can still make a clear distinction on this issue.
"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" After getting up in the morning, Chen Nian asked while loading tofu into the car.
"I'm not coming back. Brother Chen doesn't need to worry about me... By the way, if Brother Chen meets Mr. Zhang, can you help me ask how many books I mentioned last time? How many books do I have now?"
I’m almost finished reading this book.”
"Okay." Chen Nian said and pushed the flatbed truck out the door.
Although the weather is getting colder and colder, Chen Nian still delivers tofu to Tianning Temple every day.
During this time, Chen Nian learned another sweet syrup porridge made by Wen Si.
Moreover, the Wensi Tofu dish has been slightly improved, that is, when making it, the water to be added is replaced with stock.
Although Wen Si can't eat meat, Chen Nian will replace it with vegetarian broth when making it for Wen Si.
However, due to current limited conditions, we use celery, radish, mushrooms, and soybean sprouts to make it.
As for ordinary soup stock, the price is slightly higher. Chen Nian can only make the castrated version. He buys some chicken skeletons from the market. Since Chen Nian is very good at dealing with these vegetable and meat sellers, sometimes he can even get it for free.
Get a chicken carcass.
But the chicken carcass that was delivered only had the carcass on it.
There's no meat at all
But this is enough. Add some radish and a little green onion and it will taste delicious.
I pushed the cart to Tianning Temple. Now when Chen Nian occasionally goes to Tianning Temple, he will bring more broth to Wensi. I have learned other people's dishes and I have to give something in return.
But this time, Chen Nian met Yang Chiqing again.
Listening to their conversation, the meaning is probably the same as before.
"Master Wensi, I don't ask you to do more, just five cases. Just five cases a day. You don't even need to go to Ruyi Building. As long as you do it here, I will send someone to pick it up every day. The reward will definitely be good...
.”
But Wensi refused as always, very ruthlessly.
When Chen Nian arrived, Yang Chiqing greeted Chen Nian and prepared to leave.
But then Wensi suddenly said: "Amitabha, why don't you stay and have a vegetarian meal with Donor Yang?"
"Zhaifan..." Yang Chiqing thought for a moment, "Okay, then I'll bother Master Wensi."
But Wen Si shook his head: "It just so happens that Benefactor Chen is here too, how about having Benefactor Chen cook this time?"
Chen Nian pointed to himself: "Me?"
"Alright."
Chen Nian agreed immediately.
But Yang Chiqing's heart felt cold again. He actually wanted to try Wensi's craftsmanship when he stayed, but he didn't expect Chen Nian to do it.
Although I would say hello to Chen Nian every time I met him, and I would also treat Chen Nian to tea and snacks when I was in Taoyuan.
But those were all methods to get Wensi to agree.
Chen Nian often sent tofu to Tianning Temple. If he could inadvertently say a few nice words about himself in front of Wensi, maybe Wensi would agree with him.
Yang Chiqing wanted that dish to appear in his restaurant, not just to make money, but to do it once as a means of publicity.
Just imagine, the production is so difficult and the viewing pleasure is so strong, just like landscape paintings, there are still limited quantities every day.
Being able to eat this dish is completely a symbol of identity and status.
No one else has it, only you have it here.
In this way, Ruyi Building will become more famous.
Businessmen are all driven by profit.
Fame brings him far more benefits than selling a dish, and the connections it brings are more precious than gold.
But aging doesn’t care about that.
This time I just brought the freshly made vegetarian soup stock for Wensi to try.
After Chen Nian removed the tofu, he began to cook skillfully.
Cut the side dishes and tofu in one smooth flow.
While Chen Nian was cutting tofu, he chatted with Wen Si about cooking techniques and some knowledge points. During this period, they basically talked about how to make the dishes more delicious.
Yang Chiqing heard it half-understood, and he didn't listen at all!
Because now all his eyes are on Chen Nian's hands!
This knife skill, this level of tofu!
The way he looked at Chen Nian changed!
If he only regarded aging as a tool before, now he sees aging as a piece of sparkling gold!
If only I could win over Chen Nian!
Now he is extremely glad that he made the decision to hand over Chen Nian.
And speaking of it, it cost me less than twenty taels in total!
This is a lot for a poor person, but for Yang Chiqing it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket!
Wait until the aging is done.
As a guest, Yang Chiqing naturally got a bowl.
Take a sip.
Immediately, the delicious taste of the vegetarian soup fills your mouth. The flavors of mushrooms, celery, and radish are mixed together, plus the hair-like tofu in it, leaving a delicate and rich taste in your mouth.
In this bowl of soup, tofu plays both the leading role and the supporting role.
And what I drank this time tasted even better than what I drank here before!
Presumably it's because of the soup that was added in place of water after aging.
Now in Yang Chiqing's mind, the value of aging is even higher than that of literary works.
Because aging is much freer than writing.
And only Chen Nian knows the recipe for the stock just now!
After breakfast, Chen Nian left Tianning Temple feeling warm all over.
Chen Nian still walked through the back door, but just a few steps after Chen Nian walked out, he heard the sound of horse hooves and ruts coming from behind.
"Brother Chen, please stay!"
Chen Nian turned around and saw that it was Yang Chiqing who got off the carriage early and walked quickly toward him panting. As he ran, the flesh on his body undulated rhythmically like waves.
"What's the matter, Mr. Yang?" Chen Nian asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"It's like this. I own a restaurant. I just saw Brother Chen's superb knife skills. I was amazed and admired him. So I took the liberty to invite Brother Chen to cook at my place. The monthly salary is five taels.
, plus available in Taoyuan
You can just eat and drink as you like and keep accounts, and I will settle the accounts later. If Brother Chen is willing to come, you can just cook this one dish, or Brother Chen can cook other dishes. If you have other specialty dishes, the monthly payment will be paid.
You can add more, what do you think?"
Chen Nian heard that the other party's conditions were indeed very high.
Just five taels of silver per month is enough for most people.
Ordinary people can earn a few taels of silver every year, which is already pretty good.
The aging rate is five taels per month, which is sixty taels per year!
This is already comparable to the salary of some petty officials!
And with the popularity of Ruyilou, maybe you can learn other dishes...
"good!"
Chapter completed!
