In this way, Liu Yunniang signed an employment contract with Su Qingluan.
Considering that Liu Yunniang actually had to take care of her father, it was best not to leave for a long time. Su Qingluan thought for a while and discussed with Liu Yunniang: "Yunniang, do you cook often?"
Liu Yuniang nodded: "After dad was injured, I went to make money to support the family. I cooked all the meals at home. Even before, I would also help."
"How about your knife skills?"
"Knife skills?" Liu Yunniang was a little confused, "I don't pay much attention to knife skills. I just need to cut vegetables..." Ordinary people are thankful to have enough to eat. How can they have any extra energy to pursue "knife skills"?
Su Qingluan shook her head: "If you want the broth to be delicious, it is also very important to stew it at the right temperature." She pointed to the intestines, stomach, heart, liver, spleen and lungs, "The thickness of these broths are different, and they need to be cooked as much as possible." Cut into uniform thicknesses and about the same size.”
Seeing the confusion on Liu Yunniang's face, Su Qingluan explained: "The stewed soup will not be able to remove the fishy smell if the flavor is too light, and the flavor will be gritty and difficult to swallow if it is too strong. Only when each piece of pork belly absorbs the marinade at the same speed can one pot be made. Each piece of soup has the same flavor, instead of being extremely strong in one bite and tasteless in the next.”
Liu Yunniang nodded: "Qingluan, don't worry, I understand."
Slaughterhouses always prepare their own vegetable cubes and cutting knives, because there are often customers who don’t want a whole animal—especially sheep, pigs, and geese. In many cases, they want a part.
Su Qingluan has become very familiar with the butchers in these slaughterhouses during this time - many of them are even regular customers at the sewage stalls. When they meet, Su Qingluan teases Su Qingluan about when he can make more sewage for them. Open your belly and eat to your heart’s content.
Su Qingluan chatted for a while, then took the knife and put it on the cutting board - a cutting board made of tree trunks - to demonstrate to Liu Yunniang how big the cuts of different types of animals were, and she drew each one with her hands. The size and thickness of the water.
"It may be a little confusing when you first remember it, but it will get better as time goes by." Su Qingluan thought for a while, "If you really can't remember it, you can just write it down and put it aside for easy reference."
"I...but I'm not good at writing..." Yun Niang muttered.
Su Qingluan was stunned: She was often thinking about how to get her younger brother and younger sister to read more books. She had almost forgotten that in this era, the so-called "basic education" was not universal at all, and the vast majority of ordinary people He is illiterate.
She knew that there was nothing she could do to reverse the situation of this era, so she just nodded: "In that case, then you learn and memorize slowly." You must have time to get started with the same job.
As she spoke, she cut open a piece of washed pig lung in her hand. Yun Niang only felt that the little lady in front of her didn't seem to measure the size of each knife, but Su Qingluan "dong dong dong" a few times, the water seemed to be pulled out of the mold, tall, short, long and wide, fat and thin The thickness is exactly the same.
Such superb knife skills made Yun Niang almost stunned.
Seeing her acting foolishly, the butcher on the side joked: "Isn't this the first time you've seen this posture?"
Seeing that Liu Yunniang's mouth was still slightly enlarged and she was staring at Su Qingluan for a moment without any reaction, the butcher was not angry and just smiled and said: "Little girl, you have to learn this kind of red case skills!"
Even if the butcher is not good at cooking, he has heard that it is rare to be able to do whatever he wants with his knife skills.
After Su Qingluan chopped a piece of pig lung, she looked up and saw Liu Yunniang staring at her blankly, as if her soul had been stolen. Su Qingluan knew what was going on after a moment's thought, and comforted him: "Don't take my skills too seriously - if you go to the kitchen all year round and want to train knife skills, you will be able to do it within three to five months." I can learn this knife skill to a great extent."
She didn't have the habit of hiding her skills from others, but those words were indeed more comforting to Yun Niang - if a knife maker could be fully proficient in three to five months, then I guess many restaurants wouldn't worry about whether the chef could do it. Stayed.
However, what Su Qingluan said is not completely nonsense - if you concentrate on learning cooking for three to five months, you can indeed learn knife skills to a certain extent, but if you want to go further after "eight", every bit of progress will be lost. It’s getting even harder.
However, there is no need to explain the subtleties to Yun Niang too carefully - in the final analysis, this work of handling the sewer only requires patience and slowly cutting the sewer into a fixed size, and does not require overly superb knife skills, so In a sense, Su Qingluan had no need to worry about Liu Yunniang's "insufficient knife skills".
So just like that, Liu Yunniang's contract was completely "more work, more reward" - the Su family would pay her a fixed proportion of the amount of waste she handled.
After agreeing on the remuneration she could get for every ten kilograms processed, Yun Niang thought happily: If she works hard, she can at least earn her father's medical expenses!
So from that day on, Su Qingluan gradually formed a new three-party cooperation method with the slaughterhouse and Yun Niang——
The butcher prepares various kinds of meat every morning. When the opening drum sounds and the three members of the Su family enter the city, Yun Niang waits for Su Qingluan to take her to "sweep the goods" at various meat stalls and select fresh meat. Kouzi separated from his daughter and went to set up a stall to sell sesame soup;
After selecting fresh sewers, Su Qingluan went back to the stall with her parents. At this time, Yun Niang took the sewers back to the small shabby house where she lived with her parents. She first cleaned the sewers thoroughly, and then put them according to different requirements. Cut into small pieces of different sizes and thickness;
Before the Su family closed the stall, Yun Niang collected the small pieces of waste that had been processed and gave them to Su Qingluan again. Su Qingluan weighed them and calculated how much Yun Niang could get in reward that day based on the weight.
In this way, although there is a bit of back and forth, it can be said to be an extra source of income, and it can also conveniently take care of my father who is sick in bed at home. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
At the beginning, Yun Niang was not able to master cutting skills and could only cut two to three pounds of meat that met the requirements every day.
However, she has a serious personality and is willing to endure hardships. She seizes all the time to cut fish every day, and also uses the opportunity of cooking to hone her knife skills, so it didn’t take long for her to be able to cut more than ten or twenty kilograms of fish in just half a day!
Xu Yunniang was very happy when she saw the copper coins that she could get in time every day.
And this incident brought about an unexpected effect that surprised Su Qingluan and the Liu family: Liu Sheng, who was paralyzed in bed, had been depressed and remorseful since he fell ill.
But seeing his daughter cutting her vagina every day, Yagyu supported her upper body in order to share the housework, and also learned to help her daughter deal with the drain.
Because he works hard and exercises every day, it actually promotes the recovery of Yagyu's lower limbs, which can be said to be a mistake.
