Chapter 397: There is no one in the entire Chinatown that sells peppercorns?

In the end, Ye Chui and Han Yuyan Li Xiuyun finally stayed in the Chen Family Hotel, Chen Jiao didn't look bad, he said that he wanted to help Ye Chui deal with his sister, and it seemed that he was sincere. ¢¥

Of course, Ye Trai didn't really trust him completely, he still kept an eye on him somewhat, anyway, they didn't really come to kick the restaurant, even if they joined forces to deal with them here, they would definitely not do such a thing as Cao Kan's life, as for stealing recipes or something, the Chen family tofu in the Chen family restaurant was actually very similar to the orthodox mapo tofu in Ye Trai's opinion, and it was completely unnecessary.

What's more, now Ye Chui really needs to find a place to live, and the best place is in Chinatown.

"Mr. Ye, there are only these two rooms in my hotel today, but a businessman will leave tomorrow and clean up the room for you when the time comes." Chen Jiao led Ye Trai to the top floor of the hotel, pointed to the two rooms opposite the door, and said to Ye Trai apologetically, "Let's ask you to squeeze in tonight." ”

Two men and one woman, how can two rooms be enough, and ...... Although Chen Jiao can't see it accurately, he feels that Han Yuyan and Ye Chui are a couple...... There seems to be a gap in age between the two, but isn't it a sister and brother relationship?

And after Ye Chui only had two more rooms, he glanced at Han Yuyan and Li Xiuyun, thinking that it should be no problem for him to squeeze with Li Xiuyun at night, anyway, there will be a new room tomorrow, so he nodded very happily: "Okay then." ”

When Li Xiuyun heard Ye Chui agree, his heart suddenly felt a little painful inexplicably, and he couldn't help but think that it seemed that Ye Chui and Han Yuyan were really together, and that morning he called Han Yuyan but it was Ye Chui who answered the phone, and Ye Chui also said that Han Yuyan was getting dressed...... It seems that the relationship between them is really like this, although there is Lin Wei as a girlfriend, but the relationship between Ye Chui and Han Yuyan is already that kind of relationship, and now when they are abroad, they should sleep in a room.

Although he wanted to condemn the other party's moral problems. But he never knew how to speak, this is a capable man......

As for Han Yuyan, she didn't think much about it at this time, she knew that Ye Trai was referring to Ye Trai sleeping in the same room with Li Xiuyun, she was in a room, she was just very vigilant now, did this Chen Jiao really want to help them, or did he have any plans......

The three of them had their own thoughts, and after Chen Jiao briefly introduced the room, Li Xiuyun put his luggage in one of the rooms. And Ye Chui and Han Yuyan's luggage were all carried by Han Yuyan, and she also threw them into her room-this made Li Xiuyun sigh even more in his heart, the two of them were really going to sleep in the same room......

"Boss Chen, since you want me to make mapo tofu here with you and challenge your sister to compete, can I take a look at your kitchen first?" Ye Chui then said to Chen Jiao.

A good chef is very demanding of the place where the dishes are cooked, the stove, the kitchenware, every aspect must be in line with their own hearts to make the best dishes.

In fact, this time, Ye Chui originally planned to bring his own incense. It's a pity that it is impossible to pass through the customs, and it is very troublesome to go through other procedures, so he can only come here to find a way, I don't know if Chen Jiao's kitchen here can satisfy him?

Chen Jiao heard Ye Chui's words. His face couldn't help but darken, and he said with some embarrassment: "I have the kitchen here, but I basically haven't used it, but don't worry." All kinds of things are complete in it, Mr. Ye Chui, why don't you follow me to the kitchen below now. ”

"Okay." Ye Chui nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, the Chen Family Hotel has a decent kitchen. But because it has not been used for a long time, it is covered with dust everywhere, and there are no ingredients that can be cooked, Chen Jiao seems to be very concerned about letting Ye Trai challenge his sister, and immediately found someone to come over to clean it up, and asked people to purchase ingredients, but Ye Trai was not worried about others in this regard, so he asked Han Yuyan and Tang Shanshan to go over to prepare, and he also specially listed a list for the two of them.

In the afternoon, Ye Trai and Li Xiuyun also helped to clean the kitchen, and the pots and pans were also cleaned, but at this time, Ye Trai was a little strange, and grabbed Chen Jiao and asked: "Since you don't prepare food for guests here, why do you have such a kitchen, and who is this kitchen for?" ”

"Alas, when this hotel first opened, my sister was not good at making Chen family tofu, my father was not in good health at that time, my sister and I were not very good at cooking, seeing that the restaurant was about to close, the kitchen here is to cope with the cost of food and accommodation on weekdays, but I didn't expect that when my father passed away, my sister resolutely took over the opposite restaurant, she was not good at cooking, so she devoted herself to making this Chen family tofu, which is this dish, and it really made a name for itself, and became a signature dish in Chinatown......"

When Chen Jiao said this, he couldn't help but sigh again: "My sister has given this dish all her life, and people can't put her in that position, this is a heavy responsibility, she can only work harder to make this dish more perfect, I don't know how many things have been delayed over the years...... I helped you challenge her so that my sister can sober up, don't put all your thoughts on this, I understand her, if the tofu you make is really better than hers, I don't think she will be as persistent as she is now. ”

Listening to Chen Jiao's narration, Ye Chui was a little silent, remembering that when he first met Chen Jiao in the Chen Family Hotel today, he was quarreling with Chen Tian, and the content of the quarrel between the two seemed to be because Chen Jiao revealed something to his sister's suitor**, it seems that Chen Jiao wants his sister to solve the problem of singleness as soon as possible.

At this moment, Ye Chui still had no way to fully believe Chen Jiao, but the daring that Chen Jiao revealed when talking about his sister Ye Chui believed that it was true, so Ye Chui patted Chen Jiao's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this favor." ”

Chen Tian smiled at Ye Chui: "That's the best, but my sister is unfortunate to do other things, making tofu is already superb, she plans to spend her whole life on this dish, you can be careful." ”

"Yes." Ye Chui also laughed.

In the evening, the kitchen had been cleaned, but Ye Chui glanced at the kitchen a few times, but found that the most important thing was missing here: "Boss Chen, you don't seem to have a wok?" ”

Chen Jiao patted his head: "The original wok here was taken away by my sister, but it doesn't matter, I'll buy one when I'm ready...... Alas. I suddenly remembered that there was a ready-made one in my old house, which my father used before, and I don't know if it can be used now, so I'll get it tomorrow. ”

"That's fine." Ye Chui nodded.

It didn't take long for Han Yuyan and Tang Shanshan to return to the Chen Family Hotel with a lot of things, including all kinds of useful spices, etc., as for the tofu, they will be specially prepared after the official opening tomorrow.

However, at this time, Han Yuyan's face was not very good-looking: "Master, just now Tang Shanshan and I walked all over the supermarkets and vegetable markets in Chinatown, but I didn't see any peppercorns sold. ”

"There's no peppercorns for sale here?" Ye Chui was stunned for a moment.

"Nope." Han Yuyan shook his head.

"Sichuan pepper also has another name, big pepper. Mountain pepper, Sichuan pepper, Shu pepper, don't you have any of these? Ye Chui then asked.

"No, Master, I deliberately checked the information on the Internet, and there is no pepper sold here at all...... But did I find Pepper Row? Han Yuyan asked Ye Chu tentatively.

"No, pepper and pepper are not the same thing at all." Ye Chui shook his head and said, no wonder there is no taste of hemp in the Chen family's tofu and no peppercorns, and there are no peppercorns sold here at all.

Truly. Sichuan pepper is a Chinese spice, and many Chinese spices are difficult for foreigners to accept, even if they want to buy Sichuan pepper in American supermarkets in the previous life, five spices. Cinnamon and other things are very difficult, but there is no shortage of such things in Chinatown, but after all, this world is different from the world in Ye Chui's impression, even in Chinatown, there are no peppercorns to sell.

That said. All the dishes here in Chinatown are not put in peppercorns?

"Sichuan pepper?"

At this time, Chen Jiao, who was standing on the side, heard this word, and suddenly thought about it: "I seem to have heard of this term." But I forgot where I heard about it...... Well, it always feels very familiar. ”

"Your dad must have said that." Ye Chui smiled bitterly and said to Chen Jiao that the Chen family is the orthodox creator of mapo tofu, and the most formal way is to lack peppercorns, Chen Tian Chen Jiao's father may still know the importance of peppercorns, but when it comes to Chen Tian Chen Jiao's generation, he completely ignores this most important seasoning.

Han Yuyan said with some worry: "Then Master, what should we do?" ”

"If you don't have peppercorns...... The mapo tofu I made is probably not much better than the tofu made by Chen Tian. Ye Trai also said with some embarrassment, he ate Chen Tian's Chen family tofu today, although the method is slightly different from the orthodox method that Ye Trai knows, and there is no embellishment of peppercorns, but the taste is still very outstanding, of course, if Ye Trai makes this dish without peppercorns, he can also win Chen Tian, but it is impossible for Ye Trai to win the other party in the crushing style that Ye Trai wants.

He shook his head: "Heavy rain, you hurry up and call Xiao Du and ask him to send some peppercorns, but I have to wait for a few days, and I will find a way to replace it with something else during this time." ”

"Oh, I'm going to call Senior Brother now." Han Yuyan nodded, then hurriedly turned around and walked away.

The problem of peppercorns can only be like this for the time being, and then Chen Jiao ordered some takeaway for dinner, and some guests in the hotel wanted to eat mapo tofu by name, Chen Jiao tried to ask one of his clerks to go to the opposite side to bring mapo tofu over, but he was driven back directly.

"Boss, your sister is still angry, she knows that Mr. Ye and a few other guests will stay in your hotel, and she threatens not to care about you in the future." The clerk said with a bitter face, "I was slapped by your sister......"

"Okay, I'll give you a salary increase this month to compensate for it." Chen Jiao hurriedly said, turned his head and glanced at Ye Zhuo helplessly.

So I can only eat takeout at night, the dishes in Chinatown are very similar to Chinese cuisine, but there are some differences, more like it is full of some regional differences, the difference is not much good and not too bad, but in terms of the feeling of leaf hanging, this level can never exceed the level of Chinese cuisine......

As for the popularity of Chinatown cuisine in the world, I am afraid that it is more because Chinatown is in the United States, France, Japan and other countries, and it is more likely to have high-star chefs.

After dinner, it was already ** o'clock, and Ye Chui, Han Yuyan, and Li Xiuyun, who were messed up by jet lag, were already so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, and the three of them said goodnight to Chen Jiao and walked to the room on the third floor.

Han Yuyan and Ye Chui walked behind, just now Han Yuyan had already called Tian Xiaodu, now it was just early in the morning, Tian Xiaodu hurried to prepare for this matter, and now he has sent a full pound of peppercorns, using FedEx expedited mail, it is estimated that he will receive it the morning after tomorrow.

Li Xiuyun walked in front of the two, he came to the front of the room, glanced at Ye Chui and Han Yuyan, and said to the two with a sad face: "I'm too sleepy, I'll go to sleep first, I wish you two a good night." ”

After saying that, he walked into the house and closed the door with a bang.

Ye Chui was stunned, walked over and pushed the door, and found that the door had been locked from the inside.

"This ...... What's going on? Ye Chui looked at Han Yuyan speechlessly.

Han Yuyan's face was even more speechless than Ye Chui: "What does he mean...... Let's sleep in a room for the two of us? ”

Ye Chui tried to knock on the door, but there was no response after knocking halfway - the heartbroken classmate Li Xiuyun had simply laid on the bed and put on headphones to comfort himself at this time......

Han Yuyan stood in the corridor and looked at Ye Chui who knocked on the door, this sister suddenly understood something, and thought to herself, she was worthy of being called brother by herself, Li Xiuyun deliberately created conditions for her......

Although she feels very ashamed, she has to seize this great opportunity.

So, thinking of this, Sister Han patted Ye Chui's shoulder with a shy and red face: "Master, I think Brother Li has probably fallen asleep, he will definitely be uncomfortable if he comes to the United States with us and has to squeeze a room with you to sleep......

Ye Chui turned his head to look at Han Yuyan with a strange face: "Then you mean we really want to sleep in the same room?" ”

Sister Han nodded shyly: "There is no way to do this......"

"Why do I feel that the atmosphere is so strange......" Ye Chui muttered in a low voice, thinking that when he opened Xiaoyu's home-cooked food, he and Han Yuyan were separated by a wall, and they were very familiar with each other, and sleeping in the same room was not to sleep together, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Chui nodded: "Okay, ...... then" (to be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
