"After half a month, if they can't do anything, you and them will leave Yuemanlou together." Zhong Wanshan said.
He opened the door to do business, not for charity, and he doesn't support idlers.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan looked at each other and felt a tightness in their hearts.
They were so busy being happy that they forgot the consequences of failure.
They began to hesitate. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy.
What if they fail? They will have nothing!
Just now everyone was looking at them with envy, but now they are mocking them.
Many people may not be able to master the cooking skills even after years of learning from a chef, and they expect to succeed after only two weeks of learning? That’s simply wishful thinking!
After Zhong Wanshan left, Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan were like deflated balloons, dejected and without any energy or spirit left.
"What's wrong with you? Weren't you so happy just now?"
Xie Yunjiao coordinated with Butler Zhong and agreed to set aside a small kitchen specifically for them to use to develop new dishes.
When she came back, she saw Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan were wilted like eggplants hit by frost.
"Thank you, Miss. Although we are very grateful for your support, we only have half a month to learn what.
If we haven’t learned anything in half a month, then…” Xiao Ding looked worried.
Little Egg was not much better, "Yeah, we're just kitchen helpers who just joined Yue Man Lou not long ago. We don't know anything at all. Can we really make it?
Like Lao Lu, he has been working in Yuemanlou for several years, but he can only help out.
I’m afraid…”
"I thought you were worried about something, but this is it. You haven't learned anything in all this time here, because they haven't really put their heart into teaching you. They've only made you do rough, heavy labor, and you can't even get near the stove. How can you possibly learn anything?"
People at that time were like this. They were afraid of teaching their students and starving themselves. Unless they trusted their teachers very much, they would not teach them casually.
Most of the time, some kitchen helpers work as kitchen helpers for their entire lives.
"So what you mean is..." Xiao Ding looked at Xie Yunjiao cautiously.
"With me here, are you still worried that you won't be able to learn? I'm just afraid that you can't endure the hardship." Xie Yunjiao said.
Some people may think that cooking is a simple thing, but in fact, it takes a lot of effort to make a dish well and make the taste of the dish reach the extreme.
When cooking, every detail may affect the taste. For example, if a dish of shredded potatoes is not cut evenly, the shredded potatoes will take different amounts of time to cook, which will eventually cause some of the shredded potatoes to be overcooked or undercooked, thus affecting the taste of the entire dish.
Now Xie Yunjiao has to teach Xiao Ding not only how to use the knife, but also how to make the Dragon Coil Nine Beads.
The task is urgent and not a moment can be wasted.
Xiao Ding and his friends are young and can endure hardships.
Xie Yunjiao looked at them chopping the meat seriously with knives. She was very pleased and felt that she had good taste.
"It's getting late. I have to go back. You should go back too." Xie Yunjiao glanced at the sky. It was already so late without her realizing it. If she didn't leave now, the city gate would be closed.
Although she had asked someone to tell Liu Jing and the others that she would be back late these days, Uncle Niu had been recuperating at home recently, so she could only walk back, and it would take more than an hour to get home.
"Master, we are not tired. We want to practice some more."
Xiao Ding's hands were numb after chopping meat all day, but he still couldn't master the skillful use of force that Xie Yunjiao mentioned.
He wanted to practice some more.
"If you want to live a long life, work hard and for the sake of your health, refuse to work overtime." Xie Yunjiao patted Xiao Ding's shoulder and said.
Xiao Ding was confused. The master was clearly speaking Kyushu dialect, so why couldn't he understand?
"Hurry back! You've been chopping meat all day, your arms must be sore. Remember to ask your family to help you stretch and relax when you get home, otherwise you might not be able to lift a knife tomorrow."
"It's like this again." Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment. He hadn't thought about this aspect. He wanted to practice more secretly and wanted to practice it well as soon as possible.
They don't have much time left.
"Master Zheng asked me to chop firewood a few days ago. After chopping firewood for a whole day, I couldn't even lift my hands the next day." said Little Egg.
His head looks like an egg, oval, so everyone calls him Little Egg.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he immediately became scared and didn't dare to continue.
"By the way, take these minced meat back and give them to your family. Don't waste it." Xie Yunjiao said.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan were delighted, but when they thought about the records of food usage in the kitchen, they took them away because they were afraid that someone would check the accounts later and find out about them.
"I've already informed Butler Zhong, so just take it back."
Xie Yunjiao was not polite either. She took a piece of fat meat and left.
In the future, she will teach these two people how to make the Dragon Nine Pearls. She doesn’t know how much money she can make for Yue Manlou.
What's more, all the meat she had was arranged by Butler Zhong and had nothing to do with the ingredients in the kitchen.
Even if you don't take it back, it's a waste to keep it here.
Xiao Ding and his friends left happily.
Xie Yunjiao ran out before the city gate closed. She secretly decided that she would not leave so late tomorrow.
It was her first time walking at night, and unlike later times when the roads were lit up everywhere, as bright as day, it was pitch black here, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
Walking alone on the road, she always felt footsteps behind her, as if someone was following her.
She walked faster and faster, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but suddenly she saw an orange lantern swaying towards her.
She was startled and wanted to hide, but she didn't know where to hide.
It's pitch black here, and it's not safe anywhere to hide.
The oil in the lantern she borrowed from Yuemanlou was almost used up, and it was getting dimmer and dimmer. Just as the lantern approached, it suddenly went out.
She screamed in fear, but a familiar voice rang in her ears, calling out with concern: "Yun Jiao, are you okay?"
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, then tentatively called out, "Gu Huai, is that you?"
"It's me."
Xie Yunjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Huai slowly approached, and she finally saw his worried face: "You scared me to death."
Gu Huai glanced at her and said helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll be back so late again."
Xie Yunjiao made an embarrassed face at Gu Huai: "I was so busy that I forgot the time."
Gu Huai's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Xie Yunjiao's face was so soft and pretty under the dim candlelight.
"Why did you come out? Where's Doudou?"
Xie Yunjiao was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she barely managed to get up by grabbing Gu Huai's hand.
"Let me carry you."
Xie Yunjiao was shocked and didn't know what to say to Gu Huai for a moment.
Did he have some misunderstanding about her weight?!
