159. Select an apprentice



Because there were more flowers, she bought another fifty jars on the way home, and this time she made a total of one hundred jars of wine.

After she finished all the work, she remembered that GunGun and Amian were still at Guoguo's house, so she took the food to her house.

When she came, only Guoguo, Gungun and Amian were left in the yard; the other children had all gone home.

Ye Mi saw that she was lonely and felt embarrassed to hug GunGun and A Mian.

It’s just that these two cubs are young and very sleepy, and usually feel drowsy after lunch.

It was impossible for Ye Mi not to let them sleep, so thinking about it, he brought Guoguo back to his bamboo house and let Guoguo stay there, so that the two of them could sleep together.

In the afternoon, she went to Baiwei Restaurant again.

There were a few young people standing inside, some of whom looked even a few years younger than Wei Zhou.

Ye Mi was still thinking in his heart, these kids are so young, they look only about fifteen years old, can they hold a kitchen knife?

I didn’t expect that these people were not much worse than Ye Mi when it came to cooking.

It is said that knife skills are the basic skill in cooking. At least Ye Mi can see that these children have solid basic skills.

That is to say, people only matured so early in ancient times.

If this happened in modern times, teenagers would probably still be playing games at home.

The old shopkeeper selected four apprentices for her in total, and all four of them knew Ye Mi's requirements and conditions.

Therefore, appearing here at this time, it can only be said that none of them wants to stay.

But they also knew that Ye Mi would only recruit three people in total, which meant that one of them was destined not to be selected.

Ye Mi had never chosen an apprentice, so after thinking for a long time he could only ask each of them to cook two dishes of his or her best specialty.

Because the kitchen was not big and could only accommodate two people at a time, they split up into two batches.

To be fair, they decided the order by drawing lots.

There are four chopsticks, two of which have notches on the bottom. The ones with notches are the first two, and the ones without notches are the last two.

The first two people who entered were both ten-year-old children, one named A Jiang and the other named A Shang.

According to the old shopkeeper, the two seemed to be from the same hometown and grew up together and were very good playmates.

Even when it came to learning cooking, the two of them went together to find the fat chef in the village to learn from him.

Later it was discovered by the fat chef.

But the chef was a generous man and asked each of them to pay ten copper coins as tuition.

They learned from the fat chef for two years, and later they met the old shopkeeper.

Perhaps because they came from the same school, they both chose the same dishes: spicy and sour shredded potatoes and braised eggplant.

After they brought out the dishes, the two people behind them went into the kitchen.

The old shopkeeper and several other employees came to Ye Mi as judges, and each of them tasted a bite.

After all, they were still two children. Although they tried very hard to hide it, the nervousness on their faces was still exposed.

They stared at the chopsticks closely, and watched carefully no matter who picked up the food.

After picking up a bite of food with chopsticks, he would carefully observe the expression of the person eating the food, not willing to miss even a single detail.

Even the slightest raise of eyebrows, frown or any change in the wings of nose or eyes will be noticed by them.

Ye Mi tasted it and found that the cooking skills of these two children were pretty good. They couldn’t be considered excellent, but at least they were the skills of ordinary people.

It's delicious and edible, better than the one made by Lanshan, but there are still some minor problems.

For example, the Ajiang potato shreds were overcooked and broke when picked up with chopsticks, and they did not have a crispy texture.

There was nothing wrong with Ashang's shredded potatoes, but the moisture in the braised eggplant was obviously not squeezed out completely, and it had too much oil, making it a bit greasy.

After Ye Mi picked up four pieces of food with chopsticks and evaluated each dish in his mind, the other two people also came out with the dishes.

The man in the front is called Zhuanzi, and he has never learned cooking.

The things he makes now and his knife skills are all figured out by himself.

Ye Mi was quite surprised when he heard the old shopkeeper say this.

If this person is really like what he said, then he has a talent for cooking.

At least he was very skilled with the knife.

Zhuangzi was one year older than Ah Shang and Ah Jiang, but his face looked particularly mature, and people would believe he was in his twenties.

The two dishes he made were shredded pork with fish flavor and stir-fried cauliflower.

The fish-flavored shredded pork is sweet, sour and fragrant, while the stir-fried cauliflower is delicious with a hint of spiciness.

Ye Mi picked up the food with chopsticks twice in a row without finding any problems, and nodded in satisfaction.

These four people all knew that Ye Mi was the owner of this restaurant. Seeing that she seemed very satisfied with the cooking skills of the dumplings, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

In their opinion, the pole has already been selected, so the three of them need to fight for the remaining two spots.

The fourth person’s name is Fugui.

In fact, when Ye Mi heard this name, he felt a little... complicated.

It’s because this name is too common and too general...she even thinks it’s a little tacky.

But at this time, the name is generally like this.

She had heard of lotuses called Zhaocai, Jinbao, Laifu, Wangcai and so on.

Fugui is the youngest, and I heard he is just fifteen years old.

The reason why I learned cooking was because my father was a cook, just a village cook who was looked down upon by respectable restaurants.

It was precisely because of this that he was trying so hard to learn a good skill to bring honor to his father.

Fugui was quite ambitious. He stayed in the village restaurant for some time and learned a lot secretly.

It's a pity that the restaurant owner later kicked him out in order to accommodate his relatives.

Later, he could only learn as much as he could from his father.

The two dishes he made were pretty standard, without any major problems.

After tasting all the dishes, the staff members went about their business.

After all, they were just here to join in the fun (and eat for free), and the one who really decided who would stay was still Ye Mi.

After the old shopkeeper saw that there was nothing for him to do here, he returned to the cashier counter.

While looking at the account book, Ben was fiddling with an abacus.

Ye Mi looked at it again and again, feeling a little conflicted.

In fact, these four people all have a good foundation.

Not to mention anything else, as long as you are diligent, you can learn at least two or three dishes in a week of teaching.

If she were asked to give up one of them, she really wouldn't know who to choose.

The contestant with decision-making difficulty once again encountered huge trouble.

She stopped talking, and the four children were even more afraid to speak.

The four people stood in front of her tremblingly. The brave ones looked up at her, but when they saw her serious face, they couldn't help but lower their heads.

Finally, Ye Mi seemed to have made up his mind.

She raised her head and said seriously: "All four of you can stay, but..."
