I have been in the capital for a few days, and Wei Qi entered a school in the capital, waiting for the exam in three months, and the girl I rescued has never been heard from again.
Day by day, I ate and ate, and went shopping, and the little money I had left on me was almost spent.
No, if this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the street to beg for food, and besides, the gang of beggars like me don't necessarily want it.
Alas~ It is more reliable to go out and find a job.
I went out and wandered around to the small shop where I ate last time.
I saw a recruitment list posted on the door of the store, which said: This store is looking for a back kitchen handyman. If you are interested, please go to the backyard to queue up for an interview, and the salary will be interviewed.
Tsk tsk tsk, this store is really different, the handyman has to line up for an interview, no, I have to go in and have a look, maybe I will have a chance to learn from a teacher in the future.
I went into the store and asked Xiaoer about the location of the backyard, and then walked towards the backyard.
As soon as I opened the door to the backyard, I was dumbfounded, my God, why are there so many people? !
I saw that the people queuing up had almost reached the gate of the backyard, and stood in two rows.
I quickly found a place to stand, and silently asked the little brother in front of the row.
"Brother, why are there so many people here? A small handyman is worth fighting for so many people? Do you all want to make a fortune by being a handyman?"
"Brother, you don't know~ Juxiang Pavilion rarely recruits back kitchen handymen, and now there are only two. Everyone knows that these back kitchen handymen are not just back kitchen handymen. But Lin Ziye, Chef Lin's assistant, is equivalent to his apprentice!"
The little brother was obviously more excited than me, his eyes were shining with golden light, and saliva was splashing everywhere with his words.
I immediately took two steps back to prevent the saliva from flying on my face.
"It's so powerful, no wonder there are so many people. Brother, I want to ask, why hasn't anyone been selected yet? There are so many people here? Could it be that they didn't catch Chef Lin's eyes?"
"Well, it's just difficult. Chef Lin's assessment mainly has three levels, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to pass if they don't have the mentality."
"Then what are the contents of the assessment?" I asked immediately.
"The first level is to shred the tofu on the glass, the glass has no scratches and the shredded tofu can pass through a needle; the second level is to taste ten kinds of spices mixed arbitrarily, and write their names one by one; The most difficult level is to make a dish within 15 minutes, and if Chef Lin is satisfied, the level will be passed."
Hearing this, I suddenly understood why there are so many people here, but no one can be selected.
This is too perverted, is it recruiting a handyman or a royal chef, it's too scary~
But anyway, I have also practiced, and I still have a little royal chef gene.
Plus I looked at the recipes that my mother brought with me when she escaped.
So don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy, your spirit in the sky will bless Xi'er~
I began to pray silently in my heart.
It was the turn of the little brother in front of me, but unfortunately he came out within a few minutes.
With a gloomy look on his face, he walked to the door and burst into tears.
Pfft~ It's also the first time I've seen a big man cry like that, and it's really embarrassing for him.
"Next person"
I heard that I was called, and immediately patted the clothes on my body, and walked into the room.
The room is very large, with a stove inside, things for testing are placed, and there are two people sitting facing the door.
A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light green shirt, has an oval face, is beautiful and glamorous, with a pair of clear eyes and a charming charm, her eyes flickering, and her whole body exudes a youthful and lively atmosphere .
Another young man in his twenties dressed in ink. Compared with the girl next to him, he looked very calm.
"Hello, my name is Song Xiran. I am applying for the handyman job." I said respectfully.
"Presumably you already know the conditions for our recruitment. You need to pass three tests before you can be selected. Are you ready?" the young man in ink said calmly.
"Well, I already know, I'm ready."
"On the table behind you is what you need for the exam. You can start when you are ready, and the clock ticks."
Watching him light the incense, I took a deep breath.
After I washed my hands with water, I rinsed the knife surface by the way.
Steadily pick up the handle of the knife and use the hanging knife technique, move slowly to cut the tofu into slices, and then spread the tofu slices flat on the glass.
The next step is to shred, first lightly touch the side of the knife with your index finger, and then slowly cut into thin slices with a straight knife.
Finally, put it into the water and spread it out with chopsticks. The tofu blooms in the water like a lotus flower.
Each one is as thin as a hair, and the glass is unscathed.
I almost held my breath, keeping the knife in my hand steady and light, and my movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go.
In less than 5 minutes, I finished the first item.
The tofu shreds in the water of the young man in ink clothes who were interviewing showed a surprised look on his face, and then nodded to me.
I immediately walked to the spice counter that was placed aside, and dipped a little on my tongue with a small spoon.
"Fennel, star anise, pepper, woody..."
Ten spices slowly came to mind.
As I thought about it, I took the prepared pen and paper and wrote it down.
After writing all the spices, I took the paper to the young man in black.
He and the little girl glanced at the list I wrote, and the surprise on their faces was a little bit more than before. The young man in black looked at me with an expression of appreciation in his eyes.
Ten kinds of spices, word for word, all of them are right!
Phew~ I silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I secretly learned to cook from books before, and I will try all kinds of messy things. No one will eat them, and I am my own experimental guinea pig.
Fortunately, I didn't poison myself to death, and cultivated my sense of taste by accident, and I also practiced knife skills at that time.
The last hurdle must be taken more seriously, after all, success or failure depends on it.
I looked at the stove and ingredients next to me, and I had to race against time. So the dishes I plan to make are already well planned.
But to be honest, I only know this one dish. There is a saying that goes well: One trick is so delicious~
"The dish I'm going to cook now is: Fat beef in golden soup."
I turned to them and said.
Immediately picked up a handful of Flammulina velutipes, cleaned it, and removed the stalks with a knife.
Then skillfully slice the ginger and garlic, cut the millet pepper and green pepper into small pieces, and cut the yellow bell pepper and sour radish into pieces.
At this time, I poured some water into the pot as quickly as possible, added a little oil, and waited for the water to boil.
Pick up the processed Flammulina velutipes, put it in boiling water and blanch until cooked.
Then take out the enoki mushrooms and put them on the bottom of the bowl, then pour the soup of the enoki mushrooms into another bowl, and prepare for later use.
After that, burn the fire in the stove, set up the oil pan, and wait until the oil temperature reaches a suitable level.
Then he picked up the chopped ginger and garlic from the cutting board and put them in the pot until they were fragrant.
Then add the minced sour radish and minced yellow bell pepper in turn, and fry them together.
With constant stir-frying, the ingredients in the pot began to ooze a little butter, and I quickly poured in the water in which the enoki mushrooms were boiled just now.
Added two spoonfuls of salt, one spoonful of sugar, and one spoonful of cooking wine.
After the soup is boiled, the aroma is overflowing, and slowly use a colander to remove all kinds of dregs.
Put in the sliced fat beef and cook until the fat beef is angry and fully tasty.
Added a little bit of white vinegar, icing on the cake, for seasoning.
Finally, put the fresh and tender beef slices on the freshly fished enoki mushrooms.
I picked up the pot and poured the steaming hot soup on the beef, and then grabbed a handful of millet pepper and green pepper slices and sprinkled it on top.
Then use the boiling hot oil that has just been boiled in the pot, and pour it over the soup.
In an instant, the hot oil crackled and exploded on the green and red peppers, making a tempting sound.
A hot and sour appetizer of fat beef in golden soup, and you're done.
All of a sudden, the house is full of fragrance, mouth-watering, and appetite is full.
I decorated the plate with some chopped cauliflower and served them slowly.
The young man in black took the plate steadily and walked slowly towards the inside.
I was left anxiously waiting for the final result.
In less than a while, the black-clothed youth came out, still looking steady.
"Congratulations, Song Xiran, Master Lin said that he likes your golden soup fat beef very much. You have passed the test, and you are welcome to join here. From now on, we will regard Juxiang Pavilion as your home, and everyone will take care of each other, just like your own brothers and sisters. "
After the ink-clothed youth finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Then he pulled the girl standing aside and said:
"By the way, I almost forgot to introduce. My name is Xu Mo. I just received the ceremony of weak crown. This is my younger sister Xu Xuan'er, who is only twenty-eight years old. Thanks to Master Lin taking in our brothers and sisters, we can make a living. My The person has the same name as mine, he is usually taciturn, please bear with me, Xiran."
I quickly took over the words and said: "Brother Xu is offended when he said these things. We will live together in the future, and there are some things that have not been done well. I hope that Brother Xu and Sister Xuan'er don't mind."
The girl named Xuan'er looked at me with a smile like a flower, and there was a light in her eyes that was different from when she looked at other people.
"Brother Xiran, we will be a family from now on." She said happily.
After speaking, they went out to dismiss the crowd waiting outside, and told me to go back and pack up my things, and come over early tomorrow morning.
I am naturally very happy, at least I have some income, the problem of food and accommodation has been solved, and the most important thing is that I can learn art from a teacher by the way.
Ah, life is so wonderful!
