Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 47, Six Sons Apprenticeship

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

"Boss, I want to be a soldier," Huzi said to Jiang Yan after thinking for a while.

"You want to be a soldier, but you are young! You are only 15 years old. I heard that you must be at least 17 years old to be a soldier."

"Boss, I lied to you before. At that time, I was afraid that you would not want me because of my age, so I reported myself two years younger. I am already 17 years old."

Jiang Yan, the simple and honest tiger looking at the smile, didn't know what to say for a while, this is really fighting geese all day long and being pecked at by geese.

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

But 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 the stone next to him.

"Stone, what do you want to do,"

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

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

Before Jiang Yan could speak, Grandma Lu said, "It's easy to handle. I know Lou Bancheng who runs a steel factory. I'll go to him and see if he can arrange a job for you in the steel factory. Let's see how it goes."

"I listen to grandma, don't worry grandma, I will work hard then."

Hear the assurance of the stone.Grandma Lu patted him with a smile.

At noon, Jiang Yan specially asked Xiaoliuzi 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 Hongbinlou's dish!"

"Uncle He, you have good eyesight. You are a famous chef. You can tell where the dishes are from just by looking."

"Xiaoyan, you won it, you Uncle He and I only have this little ability left, but Xiaoyan, if you set up such a table today, what can you do for Uncle He! Don't worry, what you Uncle He can do will definitely not be able to do it. shirk."

After listening to He Daqing's words, Jiang Yan said: "Uncle He is like this, you, little six, you also know that this kid wants to learn cooking, and you are the best cook among all the people I know. I found you to see if there is a chance for my little brother to worship under your sect."

As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, Grandma Lu opened her mouth, "I said Daqing! You have understood the nature of the little six son for so long. He also played well with Zhuzi. It would be a good thing for Zhuzi to have another senior brother. "

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

"I accept this apprentice. After a while, He Daqing put down his wine glass and said a word with certainty."

Hearing He Daqing's words, everyone laughed.

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

"What kind of senior brother should you two be ranked according to age?" He Yuzhu hurriedly turned his head and asked Little Six when he heard He Daqing's words, "How old are you? I'm 13 years old this year."

Little Six held back a smile and said to He Yuzhu: "I am also 13 years old, but I will be 14 years old in one month."

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

His words made a lot of people laugh, but everyone didn't care.

However, He Daqing said to Jiang Yan, "I'll make some preparations tonight, please watch the ceremony with the old lady."

"Don't worry! Uncle He, we will definitely go there when the time comes, and we will give you a surprise then." Jiang Yan said something pretending to be deep.

After saying this, Jiang Yan then said to He Daqing, "I don't know if Uncle He knows the master of the white case."

"Bai case master, my senior brother Li Kang is a well-known master of Bai case in Sijiu City. I don't know what Xiaoyan you want from him, can you tell Uncle He?"

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

"I got this thing from Citigroup. If you eat a piece of it, it can cover a meal. I wonder if I can get it out."

"Oh, there are still some things, let me see." After He Daqing said this, he took a compressed biscuit from Jiang Yan's hand and looked at it repeatedly, and even took a piece from the top and put it in his mouth.

He took a bite and said to Jiang Yan, "I'm eating this. There are meat powder, flour, sugar, and a milky smell. I'm right."

Hearing He Daqing's words, Jiang Yan couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Uncle He deserves to be a famous chef in the Forty-Nine City. You are this."

"Small meaning, small meaning." Hearing Jiang Yan's praise of He Daqing, although his mouth was very modest, he couldn't hide the complacency 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 leftovers to several difficult families in the yard.

As soon as it got dark in the afternoon, He Daqing's house in the Intermediate Court began to get busy, which is enough to see that He Daqing attaches great importance to this apprenticeship.

When Jiang Yan saw the people welcoming and sending them off, he couldn't help giving He Daqing a thumbs up.

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

Accompanying the guests were Yi Zhonghai, Xu Fugui and Jia Dongxu's father Jia Mantun, and they and the two senior brothers invited by He Daqing were also witnesses.

As for the later third master Yan Bugui, now he is basically a little transparent in this courtyard, and he is not needed for such a big matter.

Jiang Yan also prepared the gifts for the little six sons' apprenticeship, and these were instructed by Grandma Lu.

There are not many things, only four boxes of pastries of various colors in Daoxiang Village, two bottles of chrysanthemum white, and 50 RMB. (The amount of the first set of RMB is relatively large, and the 50 is equivalent to the later 50 yuan.)
But even so, the purchasing power of 50 is quite strong, which is considered a huge sum of money.

Jiang Yan walked into the prepared room with Little Six, and He Daqing was sitting in the room.

This ceremony of apprenticeship is said to be simple and very simple, but it is also complicated.All of this is bylaw.

Jiang Yan also watched a scene here.

Generally speaking, the little six sons presented their own apprentice ceremony, served tea to He Daqing under the witness of everyone, and then he and He Daqing paid homage to the patriarch before being accepted into the sect.

With the end of apprenticeship, Jiang Yan walked up to He Daqing with three packages and two books.

Said to He Daqing: "Congratulations to Uncle He for accepting a good apprentice, this is a congratulatory gift from the boy to Uncle He." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he put the things on the table next to He Daqing.

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Yan first opened three bags, which were nothing but a neat set of chef's knives.

Most people think that Chinese chefs can conquer the world with a single 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 ranged from five to nine, while the set of chef's knives that Jiang Yan had brought had a total of five.

This first one is called a kitchen knife, also known as a chopping knife.It is the most commonly used main knife in Chinese cuisine.It can be cut and cut.However, it is not suitable for chopping thick bones, and it is laborious and easy to chip.

The second is a machete, also called a chopping knife.It is very similar to a kitchen knife, but it is much heavier, with a thick back and a certain forward warp, and some have a hole.It is suitable for chopping bones, chopping fish with bones and all the hard and tough things.

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

The fourth is a piece knife, also called a mulberry knife.Generally rectangular, the back of the knife is straight and thin, and the surface of the knife is flat.This kind of knife is light and sharp, so it is most suitable for fine cutting, such as cutting vegetables, slicing meat, shredding, and cutting into sections.

The last one is a paring knife, or melon planer.There are too many planer styles now.From peeling, digging eyes, batching silk, descaling and so on.

This set of Chinese knives can meet almost all the needs of Chinese cooking. In the words of Zhong Er, it means that a knife is in hand. I mean it.

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