Wang Chaoyun knew very well what kind of person he was, because no one knew better how painful the scars on his body hurt, but at this time he was revealed directly. Although he was unintentional, the other party was so deep in his body.

Creator of the bottom-up scar.

Seeing A Cai still there and saying something to Chen Nian without much willingness, Wang Chaoyun began to feel dazed. Fortunately, it was winter now, and although the weather was not too cold, they were wearing a lot of clothes.

, so even if the body wrapped under the thick clothes was trembling slightly, it was not noticed by others.

Moreover, because A Cai's voice is relatively loud, almost no one has paid attention to Wang Chaoyun.

"What should I do? A Nian must think so too."

"Why did she say that?"

"Why did she say that in front of A Nian?

"I obviously want to rely on Mr. Qiao, but why do you have to use this one?"

Wang Chaoyun's heart was filled with thoughts.

But A Cai was not interested in A Cai's proposal. After A Cai saw that A Cai was unmoved, she started ordering dishes.

And when ordering, A Cai looked at the steamed fish in the pot and felt aroused: "Ayun, do you want to eat fish? Why don't we both want one fish?"

It was not until this time that Wang Chaoyun was awakened, calmed down and said, "Okay, OK, I'm fine."

The food is ready-made. Just take it out from the country after ordering, and then put some vegetables in it.

Chen Nian brought the fish to the table and went back to the kitchen.

"Ayun, do you like to eat fish heads? If you don't like to eat, I'll eat this fish head." A Cai pointed at the fish head with chopsticks and said.

People who know how to eat will naturally know that the most delicious part of fish is either on their heads or on their stomachs.

"I don't like to eat fish heads. Sister A Cai, please eat it." Wang Chaoyun said.

After that, A Cai stretched out his chopsticks and planned to take off the fish head and put it in his own bowl to eat.

But she didn't get it down for a while, and Wang Chaoyun even reached out to help.

At this time, Chen Nian was thinking about the difference between the dried plum vegetables in Meizhou, Guangdong and the dried plum vegetables he used before in Kunshan.

However, Mr. Qiao is very experienced in this question. After hearing Chen Nian’s curious inquiry, he slowly said: “I don’t know much about other places, but most of our Hakka dried plums are made of mustard greens.

And we have to wait until late autumn or winter, when the mustard greens in the vegetable garden have been soaked in the moss, probably so thick.”

While speaking, Mr. Qiao also stretched out his thumb to show it.

"The mustard greens are the best at this time, but if you want to make dried plums, you have to pull out the heart of the vegetable and hang it up. When the leaves become soft, put them in the basin and sprinkle salt, and then rub them with your hands."

When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "Wrinkle with salt to make out all the remaining moisture in the leaves, and this can also increase some saltiness."

"That's right." Mr. Qiao said that Chen Nian said it was right. There must be no water in the pickled pickles, otherwise it will easily break. "When the water in the vegetables is almost out, put them all in it.

Into the pottery jar, a layer of mustard greens and a layer of salt are piled up to the top, and then seal the lid."

Speaking of these aging, we also know that the next step is to wait for these seasonings to taste and ferment.

Chen Nian studied food major in college, so he naturally learned about fermentation. He still remembered that when he was studying fermentation, the teacher gave two cases.

One is fermentation of yogurt, and the other is pickled pickles.

Of course, dough is also a kind of fermentation, but I won’t go into details here.

Generally speaking, pickled pickles can be completed in about half a month to twenty days when the temperature is maintained.

After Chen Nian said about the approximate time he had speculated, Mr. Qiao was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Chen Nian smiled and scratched his head: "Well, our family has also made pickles before, and it has been about this long."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to remember these." Mr. Qiao obviously admired Chen Nian more and more. "In fact, it's only about 15 to 20 days, and then take out the dried plums and vegetables and hang them again.

After the drying, we will be using what we are now using.”

Mr. Qiao told Chen Nian how to make dried plums while chatting. After hearing this, Chen Nian immediately planned to try it when he went back.

After a while, Chen Nian asked, “Master, what will we eat at noon today?”

Mr. Qiao thought for a while: "I'll do something else."

But at this moment, Chen Nian suddenly said, "Master, don't I let me cook the lunch meal at the employee."

"What? Want me to try your skills?" It was obvious that Mr. Qiao could see through Chen Nian's thoughts at first glance.

"Yes, for so long, you have been cooking for Master. I also want Master to taste what I cook. I can see where my shortcomings are."

"Okay, you can make it at noon today, and you can use the dishes and meat in the kitchen as you like."

Chen Nian was overjoyed.

In the next six months, he made beef sweets several times, and every time he was getting better, the most recent one had risen from his early 90s to 98%.

Therefore, the only thing left is fine-tuning of details and complete proficiency.

Soon, A Cai and Wang Chaoyun finished their meal and paid the bill and left. It was strange that Chen Nian had hardly seen anyone in Yihong Courtyard except A Cai and Wang Chaoyun come to his place for dinner.

.

Moreover, there is a kitchen in Yihongyuan. I saw it once when I went there last time. There are ingredients inside, and the stove is clean and there are residual oil stains on the lid of the pot, which means that those are often

Someone used it.

So this can only show that the chefs in Yihongyuan are not of good quality.

However, just after A Cai and Wang Chaoyun left, they were actually almost closed, but some people suddenly came to the store.

Several of them were dressed like those in charge of the dock, but there was also an American in a sea soul shirt.

"Mr. David, this is the best Guangdong restaurant on our Chinatown. This time I took you here to eat while you were resting." One of them said enthusiastically as soon as he entered the door.

And David's flattery for the few people was obviously very helpful, and he seemed to be able to understand what they said.

He nodded with a smile: "Oh, my friends, thank you so much. You know, I have always been very interested in the dishes on your side."

"That's good." After hearing this, the people also showed a relaxed look on their faces. "I don't know what Mr. David likes to eat? There are chickens, fish, ducks, and meat pies here."

"Chicken?! I like to eat chicken! Fish is not good, I eat fish every day at sea..."

David said in a not-so-standard Cantonese dialect, and it was obvious that most of the people they usually contacted were from Guangdong.

"Okay! Let's order a jerk for Mr. David."

There are still some leftovers of these dishes. Anyway, people will come to eat them in the afternoon when they can’t be sold out at noon. If they can’t be sold out in the afternoon, they will be sold out at a little cheaper evening.

Soon Ao Nian served them the dishes.

David looked at the chicken in front of him and felt a little complicated for a moment, because he had never seen anyone make chicken like this. For them, chicken was either just to remove the meat and make it into chicken chops or

Fried chicken or roasted.

The plate of jerk in front of him was obviously added with various seasonings and spices by these Chinese.

"Is this delicious?" David asked skeptically at the plate of chicken.

"It's delicious! Shopkeeper Qiao's craftsmanship is awesome in Chinatown. Mr. David, don't look at the store here. It's just because Shopkeeper Qiao is unwilling to make it too big. If he wants to, he will make this restaurant.

It’s not a problem to become a restaurant two or three stories high.”

David raised his eyebrows and obviously didn't believe it, because in his opinion, Store Manager Qiao was just an elderly old man.

But even though he thought so, he was indeed hungry.

Although I don’t know how to use chopsticks, Chen Nian brought the spoon to David as early as the moment.

David used a spoon to make a piece of chicken into his mouth, and his eyes lit up in an instant!

"Oh, my god! What kind of deliciousness is this!? God, I actually tasted sweet and salty on a piece of chicken at the same time, and it was so obvious that I never thought that these two flavors could be like this

Harmoniously integrated!”

David said excitedly. Although he spoke a little vaguely because there was something in his mouth and became excited and spoke English, Chen Nian still understood what he was saying.

Moreover, this person is obviously a native of California, with a little southwest accent, just like himself, belonging to the southwest, which makes Chen Nian suddenly feel a little close to David.

"What did he say?"

The little officials on the dock were confused. They saw David speak the language of their hometown and were considered a small leader among the sailors on the boat, so they planned to invite David to have a meal to make a big deal. Maybe in the future

It can also be convenient.

But even so, they don’t speak English on the dock all day long.

Mr. Qiao could tell that he was happy when he saw this foreigner, but he couldn't understand what he said.

“He said he had never eaten chicken that combines salty and sweetness, which means you made it delicious.”

When Mr. Qiao heard this, he turned around and whispered to Chen Nian in Hakka dialect: "Can you understand their bird singing?"

Although the voice is very low, David doesn't fail to hear what he wants to listen carefully. The old man is not afraid of David eavesdropping. After all, there is still a certain difference between Hakka and Cantonese.

"I have been learning these years. After all, this is in the United States. It is easier to communicate even if there is something wrong with me."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to say this. Our family, my son, would say that he would often deal with foreigners, but I'm so old that I really don't bother to learn these things."

Those little bosses also heard Chen Nian's words and all their faces were very happy.
