Chapter 238 Lucky
A restaurant.
For a restaurant that prides itself on having better food than Yueran Restaurant, the chef must be Lady Xia.
"I am willing to work with Madam Xia!" Lou Shanzi replied affirmatively again.
"But working with me will definitely be a lot harder. It will no longer be like the old days at Yueran Restaurant, where you only do basic work. You have to be mentally prepared." Xia Mingyue said.
"Ms. Xia means..."
Lou Shanzi asked tentatively, "You want to teach me how to cook?"
"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded.
Lou Shanzi rubbed his hands excitedly, and then knelt on the ground with a "pop", "Master is on top, I will bow to you, disciple!"
"Get up first." Xia Mingyue hurriedly stopped her, "I intend to teach you cooking, but whether you can really be my apprentice depends on your ability. If you don't have the ability, you can only continue to do chores."
In other words, if you want to be Lady Xia's apprentice, you have to see whether he is qualified.
But Lady Xia already has this intention, so he has hope.
He cannot live up to this hope.
"Yes!" Lou Shanzi stood up, "I understand what Mrs. Xia means, and I will definitely behave well."
"There are only a few days left, so there is no need to come over now. I Let’s take advantage of these days to set up a few stoves and buy some items, and then we’ll learn to cook there.”
Xia Mingyue said, "Go back and prepare some handy stuff. Just come directly on the eighth day of the new year."
"Okay." Lou Shanzi still agreed.
Returning to the backyard of Yueran Restaurant happily, Lou Shanzi immediately asked the chef to resign.
The chef in charge is called Zheng Ming. When he heard that Lou Shanzi was resigning, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that I'm resigning, my monthly salary can only be paid until the end of last month. There will be no salary this month."
"Besides, when you go out from now on, you are not allowed to say that you worked under me, Zheng Ming, otherwise your skills will be embarrassing and I will be laughed at."
It's already the 20th day of this month, and not giving me any monthly money is really a bit of a bully.
Lou Shanzi felt distressed that he had been hurt for so many days, but when he thought of being able to leave here and work with Lady Xia from now on, most of his heartache dissipated.
As for Zheng Ming not letting him mention him...
I really think I am a dish!
Not to mention that his ability is not as great as that of Madam Xia. He usually treats them like thieves. He has not learned any crafts from him, so he is not allowed to talk about it.
He didn't even mention it, it was embarrassing!
"Got it." Lou Shanzi responded coldly, entered the room where he slept, packed up his usual clothes and sleeping bedding, and simply rolled them into a bedding. Then he went to find the chef.
Seeing Lou Shanzi look relaxed when he left, Zheng Ming couldn't help but twitched his lips again, "You didn't even ask for wages, and you were so happy when you left. Did you find a good place?"< br>
But for the cook, where else could there be a better place to go in the entire county besides Zheng Ming?
I don’t know who deceived me again.
But that's okay. During this time, the business of Yueran Restaurant was a little sluggish because the shopkeeper always made some mistakes, and people were somewhat impetuous. Let him go out for a walk, just to let others see, after leaving Yueran Restaurant, there are only so many places he can go and what he can only do for a living.
It also serves as a warning to others.
Zheng Ming didn't care about Lou Shanzi, and Lou Shanzi almost trotted all the way to Chef Lai.
Seeing Lou Shanzi coming at this time and carrying a baggage, Chef Lai's eyes widened a little, "Did you get kicked out of Yueran Restaurant?"
"Could it be that you went back to tip off Madam Xia and was discovered by Yueran Restaurant?"
"No, not at all!"
Lou Shanzi ran back all the way. With a dry mouth, he picked up the teapot on the table, drank it cleanly, wiped his mouth, "Brother Lai, I've done something good!"
"What good thing?" Lai The chef was surprised, "A gold ingot fell from the sky, and your boy picked it up?"
"It's better than picking up a silver ingot!" Lou Shanzi said with a smile, "Ms. Xia and shopkeeper Na Ge are going to Yue together." When a bigger restaurant opened opposite the restaurant, Madam Xia found me and said that she wanted me to work with him. If I behave well, Madam Xia would teach me how to cook!”
"Brother Lai, tell me, if I could learn to cook from Madam Xia, would it be a better thing than picking up silver ingots?"
"That's right!" Chef Lai nodded repeatedly, " You boy, It’s a promising start.”
“That’s right,” Lou Shanzi said, “Ms. I'm preparing something handy these days What a guy."
"I'm thinking that I need to prepare two handy knives and spatulas in the next few days, so that I can do the work."
"It's not just these. "Chef Lai He said, "I will teach you a few dishes in the past two days. You can practice hard and show your skills in front of Madam Xia, so that Madam Xia can see your strength and accept you as her apprentice smoothly." ”
"I have to practice hard during this period, but I don't think I can practice cooking. I have to practice the basic skills of cutting, piercing, and spooning."
Lou Shanzi said, "To be honest, Brother Lai Don't be angry. Brother Lai, your cooking skills are not as good as Madam Xia's. I won't be able to achieve much even if I learn it. It's better to practice more basic skills to gain a good impression and make Madam Xia think that I am a malleable person and she is willing to accept me. Become an apprentice."
Chef Lai thought for a while and nodded, "That's right. That's what it is. Then stop talking idle here and hurry up. It's time to deal with it. It’s time to practice when buying things. There’s still about half a month left, so work hard.”
“If you can be accepted as an apprentice by Madam Xia, you will learn some good skills. I'm happy for you too, but we have agreed that I am older than you, and I will definitely grow older than you in the future. You will have to support me in your old age if you make money."
“Don’t worry!” Lou Shanzi responded with a smile.
Since he arrived in Jinqiu County, Chef Lai has been taking care of him. He also regards Chef Lai as his elder brother, and he will naturally respect Chef Lai in the future.
"From now on, you have to be responsible for all the food and drinks at home!"
"No problem!"
"I have to eat fried tofu every day. ”
“Okay...”
Xia Mingyue went to find Liu Caisheng on the second day and asked him to set up several large stoves and a larger oven according to her plan, so that she could bake and eat.
Because Xia Mingyue's family had to assume the responsibility of the central kitchen, the courtyard was almost full and there was no room. Finally, she negotiated with Lu to build all the stoves and ovens in Lu's yard.
