Chapter 8 Acceptance of Invitations
There are a lot of delicacies to take pictures, and some of them can't be used if they feel that the effect is not good after taking photos, so Chen Xin makes more dishes, all of which are home-cooked dishes with local characteristics.
It's impossible to throw away these dishes after they're done, so just eat them straight into your stomach.
The Song family looked at a lot of people, but the amount of food was not large. That Aunt Yao has been working in his house for so many years, and her skills have not improved much, but she is still competent in cleaning. In the past, Grandma Gu was still cooking, but in the past two years, she has not been in good health, she has done less, and the food at home is not as good as before.
However, everyone is not particularly hungry, as long as it is not particularly unpalatable, it is not too much to worry about. But there is no harm if there is no comparison, as soon as Chen Xin's cooking skills were revealed today, the Song family suddenly felt that although the food they had eaten before was not pig food, it was not much better.
In the evening, Chen Xin saw that there were still a little more ingredients left, so after thinking about it, he directly made a charcoal stove in the patio, and then put a stew pot on the stack, put the pork ribs in it and stew it slowly, and cut the remaining winter melon, potatoes, lettuce, etc. into hob pieces, and took a piece of pork belly, cut it into half-centimeter-thick meat slices, and the leftover luncheon meat leftovers, and a plate of egg dumplings. In addition, some longkou vermicelli was soaked, and the bean tendons were also soaked in boiling water to soften and set aside. A table was set up in bits and pieces, all of which were leftover from previous cooking, and it was not enough to use them for stir-frying.
After the pork ribs were stewed softly, Chen Xin opened the stew pot and took the casserole and put it on the stove.
Potatoes, green bamboo shoots, radish, and winter melon are stacked at the bottom of the pot layer by layer, and then the tomatoes cut into pieces are put in, and finally the broth of the stewed pork ribs is scooped in, ginger slices and a few peppercorns are added, and then the ribs are stacked on top of the dish after boiling, and the sliced pork belly is stacked on the ribs, and finally the lid is covered and boiled for half an hour. Before eating, throw a handful of coriander into it to increase the umami and relieve greasyness.
By the time you finish eating the ribs and slices of meat, the potatoes and the like below are already stewed, and they melt when you put them in your mouth. Then dip some of your own dipping water, and you can dry three bowls of rice in one go.
Mr. Song's father and son had a good appetite, and the two of them worked almost two-thirds of the way, and when the vegetables in the pot were clean, they put in the washed vegetable leaves and vermicelli. The noodles boiled in the broth are shiny and have an excellent taste, take a bowl of dry ones, and then scoop a spoonful of dipping water and mix well, which is more refreshing than eating dry noodles.
In the end, they scraped all the big pot of soup, which was really amazing.
The two children didn't eat the pork rib soup pot, and boiled the fish soup separately, and cooked two bowls of silver silk noodles, which were also fragrant, and their little stomachs were round and round.
In fact, as far as those photos are concerned, Chen Xin feels that they are not good enough. The main thing is that the set is not good, and the retouching has to be handled by computer software, unlike the next ten years, and the operation is completed directly by mobile phone.
"Mr. Song, if the manuscript is adopted, can I use your photos to advertise myself in the future?"
The blog is about to come out, Chen Xin is ready to eat the first batch of crabs, if she can borrow the channel of Teacher Song to prove, she believes that she can get rid of other competitors for a long distance in the first time.
Teacher Song chatted with Chen Xin for a few words, and learned that she wanted to open her own private dish in the future, so he agreed.
He himself is not good at cooking, but he can eat well and write good and bad, so Chen Xin, who has no competition with him, wants to use his fame to promote himself, which is not a loss to Mr. Song, but will make people feel that Mr. Song's evaluation is very useful, which is also very helpful for him to broaden his development space.
All in all, the cooperation between the two of them can be deepened, help each other and benefit each other, and earn money and common prosperity together, there is no problem at all!
After carrying Zhang Zhang back, Professor Song took his son to the river for a walk to eat.
"You, Mom, are soft-hearted, and she doesn't have any bad thoughts about Cheng Jie. Although your Aunt Yao is a little greedy, she has taken care of you for so many years. ”
The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to deal with since ancient times, and Grandma Gu is a soft-eared person, and Cheng Jie has long been unaccustomed to Aunt Yao's personality.
As a son of man and husband, Mr. Song wants to make his mother happy, but he doesn't want his wife to be sad, and it is very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. And Aunt Yao was always provoking the relationship between his mother and his wife Cheng Jie before, so it was necessary to drive Aunt Yao away this time.
Professor Song didn't say much to his son, only said that he planned to take Grandma Gu to the northern coastal city for two months to recuperate, and then see whether to send the child to her grandmother for a temporary visit, or hire a full-time nanny to help take care of the child.
Five or six days after the photos and manuscripts were sent, the other magazine called and said that they had adopted it, because the photos and manuscripts needed to be settled, so the magazine wanted to ask Mr. Song what price he needed for the photos he provided, and if it was too expensive, the magazine would probably not want it.
It is also the first time for Mr. Song to write this kind of article with pictures, so he does not have high requirements for the price of the photo, which is at the market level, but he hopes to settle it directly into two parts.
Although Chen Xin didn't say it, it was necessary for Mr. Song to decide that half of the manuscript fee for the photo should be given to Chen Xin, and his essay was paired with Chen Xin's craftsmanship to make it easier for readers to understand the emotions he wanted to express. Of course, on the other hand, he also knew the background of Chen Xin and Zhang Zhang, and wanted to help these two aunts and nephews as much as possible.
Before the National Day, the magazine sent a sample manuscript, along with two manuscript fees and a letter of invitation from the columnist.
There are also two letters of request, one for Mr. Song, a columnist, and the other for Chen Xin, who wants her to provide more food photos. The former has a task every month, while the latter does not necessarily, you can submit your own manuscript, or you can be commissioned by the magazine.
Chen Xin had not considered being a guest writer for the magazine, but Teacher Song told her that it had no impact at all, anyway, she was reading now, and when she was inspired, she would make some innovative dishes, take a photo and write a recipe in the past, and if she didn't have time, she would just tell the other party that she would not take on tasks except for winter and summer vacations.
What Mr. Song wants to express is that Chen Xin wants to have multiple paths in the future, and the channel of the magazine is actually very useful, and it is more difficult for her major to work with the right job.
And Chen Xin thought more. Before the online media did not have Dasheng, the magazine carried the vast majority of the Chinese people's demand for information at home and abroad, and she wanted to be an online food review big V in the future, and if she had work experience in the magazine, it would be very beneficial for her to promote her blog. So after thinking about it for a while, I decisively accepted the invitation letter.
