Chapter 392 Accepting a Disciple
Ji Xia put down her almost packed suitcase and followed Jiang Feng out.
Ji Yue is having a heart-to-heart talk with Ji Xue in the living room. As the president who once used his words to deceive a group of members to support the entire chess club, what Ji Yue is best at is talking and making friends.
"Xia Xia." Seeing Ji Xia come out, Ji Xue suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Where are you going?"
"I'll take him to my place to make noodles. He'll be back soon. Ji Xue, you don't have to worry." Jiang Feng explained and led Ji Xia out.
Ji Xue & Ji Yue:? ? ?
Wu Minqi stayed behind and explained to Ji Xue and Ji Yue: "I just talked with Ji Xia. She said that she could stretch Feng Feng's face and wanted to test her skills. Don't worry, Axue, nothing will happen to her."
"Your sister can still make noodles?" Ji Yue was shocked.
Ji Xue also stayed where she was: "I don't know either."
Wu Minqi smiled: "Xia Xia is a good child, with ideals and plans. Xue, if you have time, talk to her more and listen to her ideas more. Don't treat her like a child. I'll go down first. I’ll bring Xia Xia up later.”
With that said Wu Minqi also left.
The dough Jiang Feng kneaded in the morning was still on the table in the living room. Because of the sudden incident, he and Wu Minqi both hurried upstairs, so the dough was already a little dry without being covered with gauze.
"Can I make noodles?" Jiang Feng was a little unsure.
"Okay." Ji Xia said and started to take action.
How good a person's noodle-stretching skills are can be seen from her movements as soon as she starts.
Stretching noodles is a test of basic skills and technically difficult. First of all, you need to be steady and have steady hands.
The dough Jiang Feng kneaded in the morning was not very big, so Ji Xia took all the dough, kneaded it into a thick strip with the heel of his hand, rolled and rolled it, and then started smoothing it. Ji Xia smoothed and rolled it very quickly. This is enough to show that she is very strong, at least stronger than ordinary girls and even boys of the same age.
His movements are very smooth and skillful, and he looks like a veteran at first glance, which is very consistent with what Ji Xia said about working in a noodle shop every week.
In Ji Xia's hands, the dough is like a toy she is good at. Whether she is throwing or sliding the dough, her movements are very smooth. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as smooth and flowing.
"You usually work in a noodle shop, how many noodles do you make in a day?" Jiang Feng asked.
Ji Xia threw the bars and said, "More than a hundred copies."
"More than a hundred copies?" Jiang Feng suspected that Ji Xia was not very good at math, "Is your noodle shop doing such a good business?"
"No other store is doing so well, only Master Liang's noodle shop is doing particularly well." Ji Xia shook the noodles in his hand, folded them in half on the table, and prepared to start stretching the noodles.
"At first, Master Liang didn't teach me how to make noodles. When I was only responsible for collecting and washing dishes, I heard some customers say that the noodles made by Master Liang are very delicious, better than those in the county and city noodle restaurants. The noodles are even more delicious.”
"I remember Master Liang also said that he originally opened a noodle shop in the city, but then he returned to the town after he didn't want to do it anymore." Two clicks.
"Sometimes during the summer vacation, Master Liang will go back to the village for a few days, and then the noodle shop business will be handed over to me during those days. I will be responsible for opening the door, stretching the noodles, cleaning, and putting away the dishes. As long as Master Liang returns to the village, he will give me food every day. Add 30 yuan." Three times.
"Master Liang has even given you the skills of making soup base and braised beef." Jiang Feng couldn't believe it. Master Liang just taught Ji Xia as his apprentice.
"Master Liang taught me how to make soup base, but I couldn't cook it as well as Master Liang. The guests ate it as soon as they ate it." Look around.
"Does Master Liang have other apprentices?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Other apprentices? He was the only one in Master Liang's shop originally, or did he recruit me after I took the initiative to ask Master Liang if he wanted to recruit workers." Five times.
"Where is his son and daughter?"
Ji Xia sprinkled a handful of white flour on his face: "I haven't seen him very often. I don't live in the town. I only met Master Liang's son once during the winter vacation last year."
Six times.
"Didn't Master Liang tell you that you would stay in his shop to help?" Jiang Feng asked.
Ji Xia paused for a moment and said, "As I said, Master Liang said he wanted to take me in as his apprentice and give me the noodle shop in the future. When he gets older, he will go back to the village to live, and I will stay in the town and continue to open the noodle shop. ”
Seven times.
"Isn't this good? Noodle restaurants and breakfast shops are similar."
"This is not good. The town is too close to my village. It takes more than an hour to walk there. I want to go somewhere farther away from home." Baxia.
The noodles that had been stretched out eight times were already very thin. Jiang Feng knew that it was time for Ji Xia to be very serious, so he stopped asking questions and quietly watched the movements of Ji Xia's hands.
Ji Xia sprinkled a handful of flour on the noodles, grabbed the middle part with his right hand, turned it to the right and outward, and stretched the noodles slowly while shaking, with slow movements and steady hands.
Nine times.
A small part of the noodles has been broken.
Ji Xia stopped.
If you stretch it for the tenth time, I'm afraid most of the noodles will be broken, and the stretched noodles will be ruined.
"I..." Ji Xia wanted to explain to Jiang Feng that he had not used his true strength, "I can really stretch it ten times."
Of course Jiang Feng knew that she could stretch ten times, not just ten times, but she could also stretch twelve times, thirteen times, fourteen times, fifteen times, or even nineteen times, twenty times.
She is only 16 years old and has only learned to make noodles for a year and a half.
Although Jiang Feng only learned to stretch noodles for a month and was able to stretch them six times, given that the difficulty of stretching noodles increases exponentially with each additional stretch, Jiang Feng estimated that it would be a year before he could stretch noodles ten times. matter.
Jiang Feng's talent in white cases has made Jiang Jianguo so evil that he wants to persuade the old man to let Jiang Feng turn red cases into white cases.
Jiang Feng is already 21 years old, and Ji Xia is only 16 years old.
In some aspects of the profession of chef, youth is capital.
"I know." Jiang Feng said.
"Then my level...can I work in the kitchen of a hotel like yours?" Ji Xia asked.
"Okay." Jiang Feng said firmly.
"Can I work in a big restaurant like yours?" Ji Xia then asked.
"It's difficult."
"Why?" Ji Xia was puzzled.
"If you want to be a chef, just being able to stretch noodles is not enough, unless your noodle-stretching skills are high enough and you can stretch the noodles sixteen times or more. And dragon whisker noodles are usually used to make snacks. If you want to To be a chef in a big restaurant, you don't have to know how to make dim sum," Jiang Feng explained.
It is difficult to be a bakery chef in a big restaurant, and it is even harder for a big restaurant to find a skilled bakery chef. This is why Tai Feng Restaurant has not yet come up with a decent bakery dim sum.
If you look down on the bad ones, the good ones won't come.
"Then how can I become a chef who can make dim sum?" Ji Xia began to get to the point.
"My suggestion is...become a master. The chef industry attaches great importance to inheritance, and the relationship between master and apprentice is also very important. If you can find a good master, your journey in the chef industry will be smooth. Jiang Feng said.
"Then I want to become your teacher!" Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
"I am the red case chef." Jiang Feng no longer understands the brain circuits of contemporary teenagers
"But the eight-treasure porridge you made is delicious."
"Porridge does not belong to Bai An."
"Is the porridge a red case?"
"Well... porridge doesn't seem to belong to the red case." Jiang Feng found that he couldn't explain clearly.
"What does porridge belong to? Didn't Sister Wu just say that chefs are only divided into red case chefs and white case chefs?" Ji Xue Soul asked.
"Porridge... porridge is porridge."
"I just want to learn how to cook porridge with you. I can learn how to make pasta by myself when the time comes." Ji Xia said.
"But I'm a red chef." Jiang Feng found that the topic had gone around in a circle and returned to the original Yazi.
"Then I can also learn from you. I learned how to cook from my grandmother. I started cooking when I was eight years old." Ji Xia looked serious.
"Why do you have to learn from me?" Jiang Feng didn't understand.
"Because the eight-treasure porridge you make is delicious, and the silk yam tonight is also delicious. And my sister said that your cooking skills are better than hers. I want to learn from you and work with you in the future. Cooking skills I also want to be better than my sister." Ji Xia revealed her intention to compete with Ji Xue in just two or three sentences.
Jiang Feng felt that his head was a bit big now.
"Do you know what it means to be a chef in the chef industry?"
"I know." Ji Xia said, "My grandma told me about the carpenter from the next village who accepted an apprentice. The master was his second father. The apprentice's food and accommodation were all at the master's house. The master would buy the apprentice new clothes and also I will give new year's money to my apprentice. The apprentice must listen to his teacher. As for the master, he must take care of him and be filial to him, clean his house, do things for him, run errands for him, take care of his children, whatever the master says, he must do whatever he says."
< br>
Jiang Feng:...
The carpenter from the village next to you is a bit ruthless in recruiting apprentices. He even needs apprentices to help take care of his children, which is comparable to graduate students who walk their dogs.
"When was that?"
"Grandma said it was when she was a child."
Jiang Feng:...
"Actually, it's not that exaggerated now, now it's..."
"I can do it." Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng, "When you and Sister Wu have a baby in the future, I can help you take care of the baby."
Jiang Feng almost choked to death at Ji Xia's words.
"Cough...cough...cough...cough..."
He was a little moved.
It's hard to find a disciple who is so easy to fool these days, not to mention that he also has a second main quest to recruit a disciple.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Feng looked at Ji Xia.
"I'm sure."
"I can be your master, but what you have to do now is go upstairs to sleep and have a good rest." Jiang Feng said.
"I..."
"As you just said, the apprentice lives and eats at the master's house, but now my house can no longer accommodate you, and the house upstairs is also rented by my family, so it can also be regarded as my home." Jiang Feng said, smiling, " Isn’t that what you said? Disciple must do whatever the master says. You can do whatever you just said.”
Ji Xia didn't expect that he would dig a hole and bury himself, so he could only nod: "What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, ask your master to take you to the street to buy clothes." Wu Minqi smiled and watched the show next to her. "Then don't forget to ask your master for new year's money during the Chinese New Year. Before the apprentice becomes a disciple, he must be raised by the master. Spend him Don’t be shy about the money.”
Jiang Feng: (;Д`)
"Yes, I will take you to the street to buy clothes tomorrow. Also, your hair needs to be cut. It is very troublesome to have such long hair in the kitchen." Jiang Feng said.
"Yeah." Ji Xia nodded.
"Then, just follow me in the kitchen. See more, learn more, and practice more. Of course, apprentices don't get paid, but they only provide food, housing, and clothes, and you can get lucky money during the New Year." Jiang Feng revealed. The capitalist's smile.
"I know." Ji Xia nodded, "I'll go up first, Master."
"Master's wife, I'm leaving first." After Ji Xia finished speaking, she left and went upstairs.
"Child Ji Xia changed his words very quickly." Jiang Feng held his chin.
"My dear Ji Xia, she is your apprentice now." Wu Minqi smiled and said, "Should you tell Ji Yue about this in the group first, and then ask her to tell Ji Xue."
Jiang Feng thought it made sense, took out his cell phone and started sending a message.
Jiang Feng: Done [wit]
Ji Meili: [Surprised]
Ji Meili: How did you do it?
Jiang Feng: I accepted kid Ji Xia as my apprentice.
Wu Minqi: [Picture]
Wu Minqi: That’s it
