Chapter 47, The Sixth Son Becomes a Disciple

"Shitou, Huzi, and Xiaoliuzi are going to learn cooking. I don't know what you two want to learn," Jiang Yan asked the two of them after dinner in the morning.

"Boss, I want to join the army," Huzi thought for a moment and said to Jiang Yan.

"You want to be a soldier, but you are young! You are only fifteen years old. I heard that you have to be at least seventeen to become a soldier."

"Boss, I lied to you before. I was afraid that you wouldn't want me because of my age, so I told you I was two years younger. I'm already seventeen years old."

Looking at the smiling and honest tiger Jiang Yan, he didn't know what to say for a moment. This was really like hunting geese all day long, only to be pecked by geese.

Huzi also reminded himself that he should be smarter in the future.

However, Jiang Yan naturally agreed to Hu Zi's request and went to run for him in a few days.

After asking Hu Zi, Jiang Yan turned around and asked Shi Shi next to him.

"Stone, what do you want to do,"

After a while, Shitou said: "Boss, I don't know what to do. I just need to find a job to support my family."

The most scary thing in this world is not that you have ideas, but that you don’t have ideas. No wonder people say that free things are the most expensive things.

Before Jiang Yan could speak, Grandma Lu on the side said, "This is easy to handle. I know Lou Dehua, who runs a steel factory. I'll go find him and see if I can arrange a position for you in the steel factory."

Let’s see how it goes.”

"I listen to grandma, don't worry grandma, I will work hard when the time comes."

Hearing Shitou's assurance, Grandma Lu patted him with a smile.

At noon, Jiang Yan specially asked Xiao Liuzi to order a table of good food and wine at Hongbin Building, and solemnly invited He Daqing and his family here.

"Xiaoyan, you are spending too much money. This dish is from Hongbin Restaurant, right?"

"Uncle He, you have good eyesight. You are indeed a famous chef. You can tell where the food is at just a glance."

"Xiaoyan, you are so flattering. Your Uncle He, I only have this little ability left. But Xiaoyan, why are you asking your Uncle He to do something like this when you put such a table of dishes today? Don't worry, you won't be able to do anything that your Uncle He can do."

shirk."

After listening to He Daqing's words, Jiang Yan said: "Uncle He, that's the case. Xiao Liuzi, you also know that this kid wants to learn cooking. Among all the people I know, your cooking skills are the best. Isn't that right?"

So I found you to see if there was any chance for my little brother to become your disciple."

Just as Jiang Yan finished speaking, Grandma Lu spoke, "I'm talking about the Qing Dynasty! You have known Xiaoliuzi's character for such a long time, and he plays well with Zhuzi. Isn't it a good thing for Zhuzi to have another senior brother?

"

After He Daqing listened to what Grandma Lu and Jiang Yan said, he didn't say a word. He drank wine and ate vegetables. He didn't know what he was thinking. Everyone looked at him.

"I accepted this apprentice. After a while, He Daqing put down his wine glass and said firmly."

Hearing what He Daqing said, everyone laughed.

Only He Yuzhu shouted beside him, "I want to be a senior brother, I want to be a senior brother."

"What do you mean, senior fellow apprentices? You two are ranked by age." Hearing He Daqing's words, He Yuzhu quickly turned around and asked Xiao Liuzi, "How old are you? I am thirteen years old this year."

Xiao Liuzi suppressed a smile and said to He Yuzhu: "I am also thirteen years old, but it will be my fourteenth birthday in one month."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he said depressedly, "Then I can only be a junior brother."

His words made many people laugh, but no one paid much attention.

However, He Daqing said to Jiang Yan, "I will make preparations tonight and invite you and the old lady to watch the ceremony together."

"Don't worry! Uncle He will definitely go there when the time comes, and we will give you a surprise when the time comes." Jiang Yan said in a pretentious manner.

After saying this, Jiang Yan then said to He Daqing, "I wonder if Uncle He knows the master of the white case."

"Master of white cases, my senior brother Li Kang is the famous master of white cases in Sijiu City. I wonder if Xiaoyan has something to do with him. Can you tell Uncle He?"

"Uncle He, please take a look." After Jiang Yan said this, he took out two compressed biscuits wrapped in white paper from his pocket.

"I got this thing from somewhere in Citi. One piece of this thing can make up for a meal. I wonder if I can get it out."

"Oh, there are some things, let me take a look." After He Daqing said this, he picked up a compressed biscuit from Jiang Yan's hand and looked at it repeatedly. He also took a piece off and put it in his mouth.

After taking a bite, he said to Jiang Yan, "When I ate it, it contained meat powder, flour, sugar, and a milky aroma. I was right."

Hearing He Daqing's words, Jiang Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Uncle He is indeed a famous chef in the Forty-Nine Cities. You are the one."

"It's a small thing, it's a small thing." Hearing Jiang Yan's praise for He Daqing, although he was very humble, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the meal lasted from noon to three o'clock in the afternoon.

Although Jiang Yan didn't like the leftovers, they were good things for most people nowadays, so Grandma Lu arranged for Jiang Yan to send the remaining leftovers to several families in the yard who were living in difficulty.

As soon as it got dark in the afternoon, He Daqing's house in the Intermediate Courtyard started to get busy. It was enough to see that He Daqing attached great importance to recruiting apprentices this time.

When Jiang Yan saw the people who were being welcomed and sent off, he couldn't help but give He Daqing a thumbs up.

The person who greets the guests is Liu Haizhong. This guy likes to show his face and arrange for him to welcome the guests. This can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

The guests were accompanied by Yi Zhonghai, Xu Fugui and Jia Dongxu's father Jia Mandun. They and the two brothers from the sect invited by He Daqing were also witnesses.

As for the later third uncle Yan Bugui, now he is basically a transparent person in this courtyard, and there is no need for him for such a big thing.

Jiang Yan also prepared the gifts for Xiao Liuzi's apprenticeship, and these were all given under the guidance of Grandma Lu.

There are not many things, only four boxes of various pastries from Daoxiang Village, two bottles of chrysanthemum white, and 500,000 RMB. (The first set of RMB was relatively large, and the 500,000 yuan was equivalent to the later 50 yuan.)

But even so, the purchasing power of these five hundred thousand is quite strong, and it can be considered a huge sum of money.

Jiang Yan followed Xiao Liuzi into the prepared room. At this time, He Daqing was sitting in the room.

This apprenticeship ceremony may be simple or very simple, and may be complex or complicated. All of this has rules and regulations.

Jiang Yan also watched the excitement here.

To sum up, Xiao Liuzi presented the apprenticeship ceremony he had brought with him, served He Daqing tea under the witness of everyone, and then worshiped the ancestor together with He Daqing before being accepted into the sect.

As the apprenticeship ended, Jiang Yan walked up to He Daqing with three bags of things and two books.

He said to He Daqing, "Congratulations to Uncle He for accepting a good disciple. This is a congratulatory gift for Uncle He." After speaking, Jiang Yan put the things on the table next to He Daqing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Yan opened three bags first. Inside these bags was nothing else but a neat set of chef's knives.

Most people think that Chinese chefs can conquer the world with just one kitchen knife. In fact, this idea is wrong. Although Chinese food knives are not as many as Western food knives, there are differences.

A set of Chinese food knives ranges from five to nine, and Jiang Yan once brought a set of chef's knives with a total of five.

This first knife is called a kitchen knife, also called a chopping knife. It is the most commonly used main knife in Chinese food. It can chop and cut. However, it is not suitable for cutting thick bones, and it is easy to chip even if it takes a lot of effort.

The second knife is a machete, also called a chopping knife. It is very similar to a kitchen knife, but much heavier. The back of the knife is thick, has a certain forward tilt, and some have a hole. It is suitable for chopping bones, chopping fish pieces with bones, etc.

Something harder and faster.

The third is a boning knife with a narrow blade and a pointed front end, which is relatively light. It is used to separate different parts that are close together, such as peeling, separating bones and flesh, removing cartilage, etc. This kind of knife is also used as a fruit knife to peel apples.

of.

The fourth knife is the knife, also called the mulberry knife. It is generally rectangular, with a straight and thin back and a flat surface. This kind of knife is light and sharp, so it is most suitable for fine cutting actions, chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and shredding.

, cut into sections, all good.

The last one is a paring knife, or a melon plane. There are too many types of peeling knives nowadays. From peeling, digging out holes, threading, removing scales, etc.

This set of Chinese-style knives can satisfy almost all aspects of Chinese cooking. As the Chinese saying goes, you can conquer the world with one knife, and I mean it.

After He Daqing saw this set of knives, his eyes really lit up.
