Chapter 3 I Can't Eat Hot Tofu

There were some insights in his mind that was blank just now. Qin Ming could feel that it was about cooking, but when he was about to think about it, it disappeared again.

Maybe wait until the proficiency reaches 100?

Thinking of this, Qin Ming had some expectations for Qin Sihuo.

"dong dong dong"

……

The kitchen knife in Qin Sihuo's hand moved very quickly.

Qin Ming also couldn't take his eyes away.

Can Qin Sihuo cut three swords to increase his proficiency?
This progress is a bit slow.

Qin Ming was also a chef in his previous life, and he knew that cooking requires a lot of skills.

"Fourth brother, let me help you."

"No, it's just some radishes. Your fourth brother will be able to chop them up quickly." Qin Sihuo didn't dare to let their precious baby get his hands on it. After all, yesterday Qin Ming just went to pull weeds in the field and fainted. .

"Idle time is idle. Maybe if I move my fingers, my health will get better."

Qin Ming didn't listen to Qin Sihuo and went directly to the kitchen to find tools. After a while, he came out with a knife.

"There is only one kitchen knife at home, so I will use this one."

Qin Sihuo saw that Qin Ming was holding the knife he bought for him when he went home last time. This knife was used to cut fruits in the city. It was very small, but Qin Ming was not in good health, so this knife was quite suitable. He joked, "That's a great feeling. You've never used a knife before. Fourth brother taught you Qianqie..."

Qin Sihuo was demonstrating. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Qin Ming had already cut in a very standard manner.

At the same time, the mechanical voice also rang in Qin Ming's mind.

"Culinary proficiency +3"

……

After confirming that his idea was okay, Qin Ming swung the knife in his hand faster.

"My little brother is so smart, he can learn everything as soon as he can."

Although Qin Sihuo was a little surprised, he just thought Qin Ming was joking, smiled and praised him, and then talked about other things.

The two of them kept moving their hands, but they were chatting about homely matters.

Qin Ming also found that every time he slashed, he would gain three points of proficiency.

From the looks of it, it won't take long for him to get started with cooking skills.

"dong dong dong"

……

Suddenly, a large amount of knowledge about cooking poured into Qin Ming's mind.

Things that were mysterious and mysterious just now are suddenly clear.

This is... an upgrade?

Qin Ming raised his head fiercely, and sure enough, one of the skills in the light screen, cooking, had become an entry-level skill.

The next upgrade actually requires 1000 points. Although it sounds like a lot, it actually only costs more than 300 knives.

Qin Ming continued to cut radishes.

The posture of the hands has also been adjusted.

Once the knife went down, everything changed instantly.

The knife was like his own finger, able to change at will according to Qin Ming's wishes.

“Is this really just entry-level cooking?”

Qin Ming was a little confused, as if his master had not taught him this way before.

But because all the previous skills have been cleared, Qin Ming is not sure whether his feeling is correct or not.

"Forget it, let's continue practicing."

The system divides skills into four levels: entry, proficiency, proficiency, and master.

Getting started is just the basics, no matter what, you must first improve your skills to proficiency.

"dong dong dong"

……

I don’t know how long it took, but something came into Qin Ming’s mind again.

Different from the previous basics, this time it also includes various cuisines, carving, plating and other knowledge.

Although he has forgotten his cooking skills in his previous life, Qin Ming knows that his current cooking skills have definitely surpassed those in his previous life.

"With so much knowledge, your skills have been upgraded, right?"

Qin Ming looked up at the light curtain, and sure enough, his cooking skills had changed again.

"Host: Qin Ming"

"Age: 16"

"Talent: Comprehension that defies heaven"

"Skill: Proficient in Cooking (1000/10000)"

"System space: 1*1*1"

……

Upgrading requires [-] proficiency points, which is no longer something that can be achieved in a short time.

Qin Ming also knew that he was in poor health and couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he slowed down to chat with Qin Sihuo.

With cooking skills, Qin Ming can also start his next plan.

After the work level assessment started last year, all places have been vigorously conducting skill level assessment. The level of chefs is from ten to one, and the higher the level, the more difficult it becomes.

As one of the eight major members of the chef, although the threshold is not high, it is not easy to enter the industry. For example, Qin Ming estimates that he has at least level [-] cooking skills now, but it does not mean that he can directly participate in the chef training. Grading assessment.

If you want to participate in the assessment, you need a certificate from the unit and a recommendation letter from a chef with at least level [-].

Qin Ming does not have these problems. In order to make money, he must solve these problems first.Then you can use the money you earn to repair your house and save food.The reason why building a house was prioritized was mainly because of the conditions of the Qin family.

There are more than ten people in the Qin family, and they still live in five dilapidated thatched houses. Whether it is to improve the living environment or for the long-term consideration of their village being included in the city, it is imperative to repair the house.

In fact, the Qin family used to have a lot of labor force, and they still saved some money, but all that money was used by Qin Ming to buy medicine to support his health, so the family always lived in a thatched house.

No matter in his previous life or this life, his parents and family were kind to him without expecting anything in return. In his previous life, there was nothing he could do, but in this life, he would do anything to repay them.

Build them a few big houses, let their parents take care of themselves, and let everyone have a house to live in. After a few decades, everyone can become the demolition generation together and live a happy and leisurely life. Is there anything wrong with that?

In the entire Qin family, only Qin Sihuo has contact with this industry, and his master is still a fifth-level chef, so Qin Ming set his sights on Qin Sihuo, planning to enter the industry through him, and then successfully obtain the assessment and rating. qualifications.

Qin Sihuo is a smart man and can do anything, but unfortunately he has no talent for cooking. Instead, he is good at other things.

The two brothers were chatting very passionately. Unknowingly, the sun set and the Qin family also stopped working. When they came back, they saw Qin Ming helping Qin Sihuo. Qin's mother took off her shoes and rushed over.

"You lazy guy, how dare you let Yaoyao work? You, the elder brother, don't know what kind of body Yaoyao has..."

Poor Qin Sihuo was stunned by Qin's mother's attack. He got up and ran away after regaining consciousness.

"Mom, it's unfair. It was my younger brother who insisted on helping me."

Qin's father and the eldest son and the third son were all standing at the entrance of the courtyard. Qin Sihuo naturally would not rush over and throw himself into the trap. He could only go around in circles in the courtyard to cry out for himself.

"You fart! It's obvious that you're just lazy, and you're just messing around without sowing good land. Let's see if I don't skin you today..."

Qin's father and Qin's mother have been working in the fields all their lives. They finally got their own land, but their son insisted on learning skills. This deviant behavior made the two old people angry, although it did not stop Qin Si's anger. , but in recent years, whenever he got the chance, he would give Qin Sihuo a severe beating.

Everyone in the Qin family was watching the fun. Qin's mother never hid her thoughts from the family. Knowing that Qin's mother wanted to take the opportunity to beat Qin Sihuo, no one dared to come forward to persuade her.

However, Qin Ming felt a little guilty when he saw that Qin Sihuo had been affected.

"Mom, don't be angry. Fourth brother is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It doesn't matter if he gets beaten up, but you can't do it if you get angry."

Qin Sihuo rolled his eyes and said to himself, little brother, are you helping me or harming me?

"Besides, I really don't blame Fourth Brother for what happened today. I took the initiative to help."

Qin's mother loved Qin Ming, her youngest son, the most. She was a little suspicious after hearing his words, "Really?"

"Mom, look, I cut this, how do you think?"

Only then did Qin's mother look at the pile of radish strips Qin Ming cut, and she was immediately shocked when she saw it.

"Yaoyao, you really cut this. It's much better than your fourth brother's dog scratching."

"Mom, how can you say that to your son? I taught him his sword skills." Qin Sihuo was not convinced. He had been practicing sword skills for several years, right?
After a while, everyone in the Qin family fell silent when they saw the radish strips cut by Qin Ming that were clearly defined and even in thickness.

It's really amazing that their old Qin family's baby Qiao Da can actually know how to use a knife.

"Yaoyao, what's going on?"

"Dad, Mom, let's go back to the house and talk slowly."

Qin Ming took Qin's mother's arm and walked towards the house. Qin's mother paused and said, "Boss, third daughter-in-law, you go and cook. Fourth, come in, and the rest of the family can do whatever they are supposed to do."

Although everyone was also very curious, they did not dare to eavesdrop. In addition, there was indeed a lot of work at home, so they all looked at each other and went busy.

In order to prevent a few boys in the family from causing trouble and eavesdropping, the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law also called the children over to help.

In the main room, Qin Ming first asked Qin's father and Qin's mother to sit down, and then he sat there. As soon as Qin Sihuo moved his feet, Qin's mother gave him a fierce look, "Stand still, this matter is not over today."

Qin Sihuo suddenly stood with a bitter look on his face. Although his eyes rolled wildly, he did not dare to move. This scene made Qin Ming a little funny. Who would have thought that Qin Siye, who would be so famous in the future, would be with him now? What about quail?

"Mom and Dad, actually after I fainted yesterday, I dreamed of an old man. He taught me all these things, and he also taught me a lot."

Qin's father and Qin's mother's eyes instantly widened, and Qin Sihuo also looked horrified.

If God showed his power, this would have happened a few years ago. The old Qin family would have publicized this great blessing.

But it doesn't work now. The whole country is getting rid of feudal superstition. If Qin Ming's words are heard, their whole family will be criticized and educated.

"Yaoyao, you can't say this in front of anyone from now on."

"Yes, you can't let people know you can cook either."

Qin's father and Qin's mother looked worried, not happy at all that Qin Ming had another skill.

Even Qin Sihuo also agreed.

"My parents are right, this matter is very important, little brother, you must have an idea."

Seeing that the three of them were thinking about themselves from the bottom of their hearts, Qin Ming was very moved, but he did not say this reason just to hide his skills.

"Father, fourth brother, I know you do your best for me, but the old man said that as long as I carry forward his skills, my body will become better than others in the future."

hiss……

Father Qin and Mother Qin took a breath of cold air.

"Is everything you said true?"

"I don't know, but that's what the old man said anyway."

Although feudal superstition has been abolished, among the people, everyone firmly believes in it.

Sure enough, after listening to Qin Ming's words, neither Qin's father nor Qin's mother had any doubts. However, the old couple was stumped as to how to keep the old man exposed and still promote his skills. However, it was Qin Sihuo who came up with ideas.

"Mom and Dad, I heard that Fengzeyuan is recruiting apprentices. They are a famous hotel in Sijiu City, and they have two second-level chefs. If I can be in their name, I won't worry about being unable to carry forward my skills in the future. .”

Fortress Garden?
Fortunately, Qin's father and Qin's mother are not very familiar with the well-known big hotels in the industry. However, Qin Ming, as a former industry insider, knows very well that if he can really enter Fengze Garden, he will not only promote his cooking skills, but also make money. Big.

"So Fengze Garden, is the work tiring?" Mother Qin only cared about this issue. Yaoyao's health was not good to begin with, and it would not be okay to wear him down because of an errand.

"I don't know about this, but there are many apprentices in the hotel, so it should be easier than in the cafeteria." Qin Sihuo is not sure. Although he is smart, he has no talent in cooking, so he has no chance to go to the hotel to gain experience. On the contrary, Qin Ming knew a little bit.

"Mom and Dad, I think this is a reliable thing. To promote the skill of cooking, we have to rely on word of mouth. The louder Fengzeyuan's brand is, the more people will eat my cooking in the future, and my health will be worse. Is it better?"

Qin's father and Qin's mother thought about it and found out that this was true.

"Okay, fourth brother, go and inquire about it tomorrow and finalize this matter."

Qin's mother slapped the table and decided.

"No problem, it's all on me."

His master has a senior brother who lives in Fengze Garden. He will go get a gift tomorrow and ask his master to help find out the news.

Anyway, Qin Ming has the craftsmanship taught by the gods as a backer. Can't he easily enter Fengze Garden?
