Chapter 406: Master Xiaonan is online!

Taking Nan Yi out, Nanzhi asked him where he wanted to go in the afternoon.

"I asked, there's an oceanarium nearby, do you like it?"

Nan Yi was a little surprised:

"Do we have money?"

"Of course, mom is the chef now!"

Her daily income is now calculated as that of a chef.

The chef of a top restaurant like Yongnianlou not only has a starting salary of five figures, but also receives commissions from the chef's menu.

Nanzhi sold 10 servings of chicken tofu for 588 yuan today. The commission alone was enough for her to make a small profit.

And this is only the first day.

So, as of now, Nanzhi can be said to have achieved the first step of "financial freedom".

Nanzhi smiled:

"If you don't want to go to the aquarium, you can go anywhere you want! But it can't be too far, after all, we have to come back to work later."

Nan Yi thought about it seriously and gave his answer.

Nanzhi was surprised: "Seriously?"

Nan Yi nodded vigorously, indicating that he couldn't be more serious!

Nanzhi: "Well... okay."

So, before they could even step out of Yongnian Building, they turned back and changed into their chef uniforms again.

Nan Yi put on his small chef's uniform and looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction.

"And the hat, be careful not to let your hair fall into the dishes."

Nanzhi put on Nanyi's hat and straightened it.

Nan Yi held his little head high, looking particularly proud, his eyes sparkling like stars: "How about it, mom? Do I look professional?"

Nanzhi nodded:

"Yeah, very professional, Master Xiaonan."

Nan Yi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he looked as happy as a cat that had eaten fish.

Nanzhi took him into the kitchen, and the chefs they met were all surprised:

"Hey? Master Nan and Master Xiao Nan are here together?"

"Didn't Master Nan say he was going out to play? Why are you back again?"

"What do you know? This is Master Nan's worry about the kitchen. This is the attitude of a master!"

“…”

Seeing a group of young chefs praising themselves crazily, Nanzhi quickly stepped forward to explain:

"It's Nan Yi. He wants to learn how to cook and asked me to teach him."

That’s right, this is the “entertainment activity” that Nan Yi just mentioned.

Nanzhi was also surprised when he heard it for the first time, but then he thought about it and felt that this was actually a good arrangement.

If you want to make a name for yourself in a professional kitchen, it is essential to hone your character and perseverance.

Even if Nan Yi will not become a chef in the future, Nan Zhi hopes that he can be a rock-solid person.

After hearing this, others praised Nan Yi for his ideas and said that chefs should be trained from an early age!

Some people even sighed: "Oh, if I had this awareness when I was a child, I wouldn't be a novice chef now..."

Look at Master Nan again!

This is the benefit of having a family background in learning! Nanzhi turned her head to see Nanyi listening very carefully, nodding from time to time.

Because she thought he was cute, she didn't rush to leave, but waited patiently until he was satisfied.

"Let's go."

As the head chef, Nanzhi, like other head chefs, has a dedicated area that he does not need to share with others and will not be disturbed by others. This is very suitable for the practice of Nanyi, a beginner.

Nan Yi stood in front of the stove eager to try:

"Mom, what should I do?"

Nanzhi considered it carefully.

Nan Yi is not even five years old yet, so it might be difficult for him to start systematic learning right away.

Why not keep it simple and let him start with home-cooked dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes so that he can experience the joy of cooking?

Nanzhi finally gave the decision-making power to Nanyi, told him two options, and stated the pros and cons of each.

"…What do you think, Yi Yi?"

Nan Yi: "How did mom learn it before?"

The sudden question dragged Nanzhi back to that dark memory.

For Nanzhi, who is just starting to learn cooking, if she wants to complete the learning progress of others in several years in the shortest time, she must put in more times the effort.

Take practicing knife skills for example. She would keep a knife on her waist for a long time, touching the knife with her eyes open and closed. In the end, she was so familiar with it that she could cut vegetables with her eyes blindfolded, and the knife and she became one.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

With such almost crazy persistence, she gradually came out and reached the peak position.

Perhaps it was because the time was too long that Nanzhi was able to figure out a little sweetness from that dark history.

After a brief moment of distraction, Nanzhi pulled back his thoughts and told Nanyi: "I started by practicing knife skills."

"Then I want to be like my mother!"

Nan Yi's face was firm and full of fighting spirit! Nan Zhi naturally couldn't dampen his confidence, so he nodded, picked a smaller knife, and picked a few potatoes.

Nanzhi: “Let’s practice with potatoes first.”

Yongnianlou's storeroom is stocked with enough ingredients, not only for the guests, but also for the chefs to practice with.

Yongnianlou still uses the traditional master-apprentice system, so there are a large number of young chefs in the kitchen. Most of these people started as apprentices with meager wages, and then went through a lot of practice, observation, and improvement... and finally grew into chefs who can stand on their own.

Although this approach will slow down the chefs' learning progress and increase the restaurant's investment, it will also make the chefs' basic skills particularly solid, their loyalty to Yongnianlou will be high, and job-hopping will be rare.

At this time, Nan Yi was already holding his knife, looking at the potatoes in front of him seriously.

What should he do? Nanzhi sighed, "These are unprocessed potatoes. Shouldn't you wash and peel them first?"

Nan Yi: “Oh.”

He is familiar with this.

When they opened Nan's Restaurant, Nan Yi had done a lot of work there and was very skilled at peeling potatoes, doing it quickly and well.

He moved quickly and cleaned and peeled several potatoes, then placed them neatly on the chopping board.

Nanzhi instructed him: "Cut into slices."

Nan Yi was pressing the potatoes in a panic, trying to cut them.

"You're holding the knife wrong. You'll cut your hand."

Nanzhi explained the key points one by one.

Nan Yi is making rapid progress.

As long as Nanzhi reminds him once, he will not make the same mistake again.

Nanzhi felt quite relieved.

But this did not prevent her from being increasingly strict with Nan Yi.

"Potatoes are a tender ingredient, so you can use the straight cutting method, which means cutting vertically without pulling it back and forth."

"If you don't have enough arm strength, slow down a little bit, and no one will compete with you."

"Don't put your left hand too close. Don't you want your fingers anymore?"

"Yes, that's it."

“…”

Not far away, Song Lin stood for a long time.

He looked at Nanzhi's serious and focused profile, and couldn't help but think of another person and the time when he was an apprentice.

After all, there's no going back.
