Chapter 18 018. Teaching Xu

After that, Manager Wang didn't ask too much, so he started to talk about the serious business. "A better teacher has been invited by the school. You can't use it if you are too bad. I'll think about it again..." He frowned and his eyes turned, "I thought of it! There is really one. I wonder if you can be satisfied. He has also returned here recently. He had eaten your Kung Pao Chicken in our restaurant before, and praised the deliciousness of this dish."

As he was talking, he was a little off-limited. He coughed lightly and returned to the topic, "I heard that he came back from Bianjing. He passed the Jinshi in his early years and went to the Imperial College as a teacher. Later, he didn't know why, but he resigned and returned to his hometown. I asked him why, but he avoided talking, just sighing and saying something like 'I am not grateful for my talent'. If you want to find a good teacher, he might be able, but I don't know if he would agree. He said before that he wanted to find a job when eating here. You can ask, his surname is Xu, and he lives in the alley that turns left in front."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, thanked her and walked towards the alley pointed by Manager Wang. No matter whether it can be done or not, you will know it!

When I arrived at that alley, there were several families. I could tell the residence of Teacher Xu. It was a very simple small house in the innermost part of the alley, but it was better than her thatched hut.

Gu Xiaoxiao swept the door lintel, then stepped forward and knocked gently. From inside, the voice of a middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitudes came, "Who?" Another gentle sound of walking.

Soon the door was opened, and a face that was obviously depressed was revealed. When a strange woman was standing in front of the door, she frowned slightly, "Is there anything to ask me for?"

Listening to a somewhat indifferent tone, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care. Generally, people who are frustrated in the officialdom will have a little weird temper.

After all, she had something to ask for. She said softly with a gentle smile on her lips: "Are you Teacher Xu?"

Seeing that the person coming was so polite, he also looked embarrassed because of his bad attitude just now, and replied softly, "I am, what's wrong with you?"

It’s a person who understands the truth in this way, so it’s easy to communicate! The smile on the corner of Gu Xiaoxiao’s mouth deepened a little.

Then he started talking about the serious matter, "Teacher Xu, I came here to find a teacher for my children. I heard that you just came back from Bianjing, so I came over to visit without authorization. I hope I can be lucky enough to ask you to teach me a few."

Hearing that this was the case, Teacher Xu's face turned out like the beginning, and he said sternly: "Don't teach! Don't teach!"

I just wanted to thank the guests behind closed doors.

Unexpectedly, this door could not be closed. Teacher Xu looked down and found that it was blocked by Gu Xiaoxiao with his feet. He was so powerful that he could not compare to any man.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao frowned and tried her best to keep a polite voice, saying, "Why don't you teach me? You assert that you won't teach me without even reading it. You need to give me a reason!"

"There is no reason, I just don't want to be a teacher anymore, can't it be?!" Teacher Xu raised his chin and frowned.

"Don't you want to find a job? Teaching is also very consistent with your identity. Why not teach? Could it be that you are not capable?" She narrowed her eyes, as if she was suspicious.

"I'm not capable?! What are you kidding! I'm..." He suddenly paused and reacted, calmed his emotions, and smiled disdainfully: "Hmph! Do you want to provoke me and let me promise you impulse? Do you think I can't read knowledge for nothing? Can you still be fooled by you? Let me teach, don't even think about it!"

He pointed at Gu Xiaoxiao's foot stuck in the door again, "Do you take it away? If you don't take it away, I'll call you someone else! I'll sue you forcibly breaking into a private house!"

Gu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and took back her legs.

She was not threatened by these words from Teacher Xu, but it was not possible to say that her attitude was so firm.

Teacher Xu is from the Imperial College, so his ability will not be bad. No matter what, at least he can be considered a better teacher in this town.

The ability to enter the Imperial College for teaching is not to be underestimated. Even if you resign and return home, you still have the ability!

This is also the reason why Gu Xiaoxiao has struggled to run this trip and is still holding back his temper.

Although she knows a lot, she is all knowledge from the end of the world and still has little to do with the learning content in this world, so she has to find a teacher outside. With this teaching guide, the four kids will never be bad in their knowledge!

But that's fine, this person doesn't work. If you look for someone else, there will be no only this teacher in this town.

Seeing that her legs were retracted and the door was no longer blocked, Teacher Xu snorted again and threw the door hard.

She pursed her mouth, thinking that his door was quite strong and could withstand his fall. What material was it made of? She glanced at it for a few more curiously.

However, Teacher Xu's attitude had improved a little before. When he mentioned that he wanted to teach, his face changed drastically, as if he was a beast, and he would not avoid it. It seems that he had experienced a bad thing in the Imperial College...

She didn't think about it anymore. It wasn't her business anyway. She would rather go back and ask Manager Wang if there was any better teacher.

Thinking of this, she walked back.

When Manager Wang saw that Madam Gu came back to Shiweixuan, he also understood that things might not be done, so he sighed helplessly.

"Shopkeeper Wang, do you know other better teachers?" Gu Xiaoxiao walked up to him and said calmly.

There was no unnecessary expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Manager Wang could only think carefully, and after scrutinizing the language and vocabulary in his heart, he spoke cautiously: "That, Madam Gu..."

Before he could say anything, Manager Wang, Yu Guang, swept the door and came in. He was a little surprised, and he swallowed the words he said.

Seeing Manager Wang's expression, Gu Xiaoxiao turned his head to look in his eyes. When he saw the visitor, he not only raised his eyebrows.

Isn’t this Teacher Xu I just met!

At this time, Teacher Xu happened to see Gu Xiaoxiao, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

Did this woman follow him?

...It seems that it wasn't, it seems that the woman came in first.

After thinking about this, his face relaxed a little, but he was still a little unhappy, and his body was filled with the aura of a frustrated and depressed old scholar.

He didn't care about Gu Xiaoxiao, as if he had never seen him before, walked straight to an empty table and sat down, stroked his goatee, knocked on the table a few times, and shouted: "Waiter! Give me a plate of Kung Pao chicken and add a bowl of rice!"

"Okay! Guest, please wait!" the waiter replied.

He rubbed his hands and waited patiently, and finally a smile appeared on his face, which was his expectation for the Kung Pao Chicken that was about to be served.

Gu Xiaoxiao naturally didn't miss the smile on his face, and she curled the corners of her mouth, making her feel a little clear.

It seems that Teacher Xu also loves to eat this kind of Kung Pao Chicken! The former teacher in the Imperial College was actually a foodie!

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she had an idea in her heart.

He turned around and said to Manager Wang: "It's the end of the month soon, and it's not bad for the past few days. I'll teach Xiao Siyuan another dish and teach the dishes I'll teach next month in advance. How about it?"

Manager Wang was excited and said excitedly: "This is great! This is great! You can sell it in advance by teaching, and the profits should be increased again! Hahaha..." He laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him speechlessly.

Manager Wang knew that he had passed a little, so he smiled awkwardly and continued to say to Gu Xiaoxiao: "Miss Gu, then... I will take you to the kitchen to find Liu Siyuan. If you need to prepare anything, you can tell me, I will ask someone to prepare it for you."

She nodded, and without saying anything to prepare, she followed Manager Wang to the kitchen.

What do you need to prepare? She will do whatever she has in the kitchen, and there is no need to be so troublesome. Anyway, what she does is very delicious for the people here.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Gu Xiaoxiao saw the busy figure.

After the chef sent her to the yamen, Liu Siyuan successfully promoted from a chef to a chef because she learned her dishes. Now she specializes in making the Kung Pao chicken. She can pay thousands of orders a day. Although she only cooks one dish, it is also a tiring batch!

But although he was tired, he was also very happy. He was no longer happy to do what he liked!

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at her little apprentice and felt full of pride.

The shopkeeper Wang called out, and Liu Siyuan, who was cooking with his head down, raised his head and saw Gu Xiaoxiao beside the shopkeeper. He immediately showed a bright smile and shouted: "Master!"

Then he wiped the sweat beads steamed from his face because of the temperature in the kitchen, handed the work in his hand to someone else, and ran over with a grin.

Gu Xiaoxiao also smiled back at him, no need to say anything more.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Ah, that's right. Mrs. Gu wants to teach you the food for next month in advance. You can clean up and make some room for Mrs. Gu." Manager Wang explained for Gu Xiaoxiao.

"This is great! I can't wait to learn the next one!" Liu Siyuan smiled and pointed to the direction he was in before, "Then do it at the station I just did."

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at it, nodded, and agreed.

When she arrived at the work station, she looked at the dishes prepared next to her and thought for a moment.

Then make a...Flower Blooming Shrimp, the method is simpler and the speed is faster. So I cleaned my hands and started.

Wash the shrimps, cut off the shrimp guns and whiskers, cut open the back, remove the shrimp thread, and spread them flat. Then soak the vermicelli in cold water, filter the water dry, put it in the middle of the plate and pile it up, with the shrimp head facing up, and place the shrimp around the vermicelli.

Then mix a small sauce, cut the garlic into minced, add salt, sugar, oil, vinegar, add some soy sauce and stir into a sauce. Cut the green onion and chili to set aside.

Pour the prepared sauce on the shrimp, boil the boiling water and steam it in a pot, then sprinkle with green onions and minced chili, and pour hot oil on it.

Soon a dish of flowers bloomed and the rich shrimps were released from the pot. The exquisiteness of the shrimps lies in the dish. The shrimp tails formed like a flower. The blooming and richness also have auspicious meaning. In the end times, it is mostly a private dish that families will make during the Chinese New Year and the holidays.

This dish looks light, but the taste is extremely comfortable and refreshing. The shrimp meat is mixed with the aroma of garlic in the seasoning, and the vermicelli also absorbs the umami flavor of the shrimp and becomes smooth and delicious.

Liu Siyuan watched from the side and was amazed repeatedly. This dish was different from the stir-fry of Kung Pao chicken. Instead, it was lightly steamed, which made it even more elegant.

This is also very simple. Liu Siyuan is very smart. He can understand it at a glance and quickly gets started.

Gu Xiaoxiao was also very satisfied with the cleverness and intelligence of his apprentice. Seeing that Xiao Siyuan had learned it completely without long, he said to Manager Wang who was swallowing his saliva aside: "I will give this portion to that Teacher Xu."

Mrs. Gu bought into Shiweixuan, which is also their second boss, so she has to listen to her words.

Manager Wang nodded quickly and asked someone to take the part that Gu Xiaoxiao did to teach Xu.

He also knew something in his heart. Mrs. Gu was afraid that she would use this dish to bribe Teacher Xu and ask him to teach her children.

Then I felt a sigh of praise in my heart, that is, as a mother, and I should try my best to find the best for my children in everything.

He didn't know yet that Gu Xiaoxiao was actually just a stepmother!

On the other side, Teacher Xu had just finished eating Kung Pao Chicken, and ate all the ingredients on the plate, smashed it and smacked it, and was still a little unsatisfied.

Unfortunately, he has not much money anymore, so he still has to save some money before finding a living plan.

Then he stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the waiter who had just walked out of the kitchen, "Hey! Teacher Xu! Don't leave first, wait, wait." The waiter hurriedly walked to Teacher Xu, holding the steaming flower-blooming shrimps, and introduced: "Our restaurant second owner has given you a dish. This is a new product that our restaurant will launch soon. Do you want to stay and taste it?"

Teacher Xu, who was inexplicably given a plate of dishes, had originally wanted to refuse, his eyes lit up when he saw the perfect dish.

The shrimp heads gathered in the middle and raised their heads, like many aspiring people, but their bodies were peeled and cramped, stained with minced garlic. They were no longer the same, but they were undeniably more admirable and had richer taste than they were. This is their most perfect appearance!

When God is about to give a great responsibility to this man, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and lose his body, and act and disturb his actions. Therefore, he will be moved and endure his nature and will be able to do what he cannot do.

Teacher Xu sighed, his eyes a little wet. This is telling him not to escape temporary frustration. The current suffering is just polishing him and making him a better person!
