Thirty cents a day, although it was very different from Ma Xinyuan's 150 cents a day, but for Zhao Xiaoliu, this was already a great temptation.
Duan Wenjun promised to arrange a house for the couple, allowing him to live with Ma Xinyuan and the others. He could take care of his injured old mother and continue studying with Ma Xinyuan. This was no different from that in Wangjiang County.
Moreover, there are wages to be paid.
For Zhao Xiaoliu, this is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky thing.
"Xiao Liuzi, why don't you quickly thank Master Duan?" Just when Zhao Xiaoliu was overjoyed, Ma Xinyuan patted the back of his head.
Then, he turned to look at Duan Wenjun: "Master Duan, thank you for your support. I will take care of Xiao Liuzi's matter for him first. I will just go and talk to his mother later. As for the salary of 30 Wen, I can't Let Master Duan spend the money, and it will be calculated from my wages."
"Old Ma, what are you talking about?" Duan Wenjun shook his head.
Obviously, this Ma Xinyuan is a real person, and he did not misjudge the person.
"Xiao Liuzi follows you, that is, working for me, and I will pay for it naturally. I think this kid is very smart. You should train him more. When he graduates, he can be a master like you. I will give him Increase wages." Duan Wenjun reached out and patted Zhao Xiaoliu on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job!"
"Thank you, Master Duan!" Zhao Xiaoliu burst into tears of gratitude and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Duan Wenjun.
"Lao Ma, Xiao Liuzi, you go ahead. I will send someone to pick you up in five days." Duan Wenjun looked at them and smiled and said, "I will take away the sample of the charcoal hot pot first. I will try it out later." try."
Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Duan Wenjun carefully handed the charcoal hot pot sample to Mo Shoucheng and asked him to put it on the carriage.
Qin Feng looked at the strange object in front of him that looked like a bowl but not a bowl, and looked like a pot but not a pot. He felt very strange and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"Brother Wenjun, you said this object is called charcoal hot pot. Is it a tool for the new way of eating called hot pot in your Duanjia Restaurant?" Qin Siya first asked the doubts in her heart.
"Not bad!" Duan Wenjun nodded.
Just hearing the name, I guessed the purpose. Qin Siya really has some talent for foodies.
"How to use this thing?" Jiang Shuying was also very curious.
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look towards Duan Wenjun.
"It's too hard to explain now, let's go, let's go to the wine shop and try it out later!" Duan Wenjun was very happy when the charcoal hot pot was made, and he led everyone to rush towards Duan's wine shop.
It's not lunch time yet, Duan's restaurant has just opened, and waiter Du Xiaoer is arranging the tables and chairs.
Seeing Duan Wenjun leading a group of people into the store, he looked up and was slightly stunned before he came up to him, "Good morning, Young Master! The shopkeeper has just left..."
"Boy, it's okay! Is Old Liu here?" Duan Wenjun smiled, "I'm not looking for Shopkeeper Huang."
"Here we are, old Master Liu is in the kitchen." Du Xiaoer nodded hurriedly, but his eyes fell on the two girls behind Duan Wenjun.
"These are all my distinguished guests, so don't neglect them." Duan Wenjun nodded, "You take them to the large private room upstairs for a while, and I'll go find Lao Liu."
The young master's family has given this order, so Du Xiaoer naturally does not dare to neglect, "Mr. Qin, Daxia Mo, and the two fairy sisters, please come in!"
Du Xiaoer was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was quite smart. Hearing him say "fairy sister", Qin Siya and Jiang Shuying's faces suddenly burst into smiles.
"You know me?" Qin Feng was also quite surprised.
"Mr. Qin, you are a famous person in Wangjiang. When I was young, my cousin and I went to Sihai Academy once and saw you from a distance." Du Xiaoer replied with a smile on his face.
"Oh? Why weren't you in the store a few days ago?" Qin Feng smiled.
I had a meal here a few days ago, but I was a little angry. The waiter didn't seem to be here at the time. If he was here, maybe I wouldn't be so depressed.
"Are you talking about five days ago? Xiaoren's mother was sick, so she took a day off." Du Xiaoer replied with a smile.
"Is your father's illness okay?" Qin Feng asked with concern.
Du Xiaoer led everyone upstairs while talking with Qin Feng and others, while Duan Wenjun walked straight to the kitchen.
When I came to the kitchen, Liu Qiang was making aniseed soup and Liu Chang was washing rice.
Seeing Duan Wenjun come in, the father and son hurriedly put down what they were holding and came forward.
"Old Liu, help me burn half a pot of lard. I need to use lard that you have desalinated." Duan Wenjun ordered directly.
Although he didn't understand what Duan Wenjun was going to do, Liu Qiang just looked at him doubtfully and then went straight to get it.
Duan Wenjun walked directly to Liu Chang holding the charcoal hot pot, asked for a basin of rice washing water, took the straw in Liu Chang's hand and started washing it.
Liu Chang seemed a little cautious. He watched nervously as Duan Wenjun cleaned the charcoal hotpot inside and out, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, what is this?"
"Charcoal hot pot." Duan Wenjun didn't look up, still concentrating on washing the charcoal hot pot, and then continued, "Xiao Liu, go and pick up some charcoal for me. Remember, it shouldn't be too big, and it must fit in through the mouth of the stove. That’s all.”
Duan Wenjun said and made several gestures towards the top of the charcoal hot pot.
Liu Chang nodded and quickly went to find the charcoal fire.
By the time Duan Wenjun finished washing, the lard on Liu Qiang's side had melted.
"Old Liu, help me smear it with hot lard." Duan Wenjun handed over the charcoal hot pot.
"Young master, what are you doing?" Liu Qiang took the charcoal hot pot and looked at it with a surprised look on his face.
"This is the charcoal hot pot we just got back from the blacksmith shop. We will use this to make hot pot in the future." Duan Wenjun glanced at him and said, "Use lard to wipe it away to remove the iron smell."
Liu Qiang was shocked when he heard this.
These days, people are not used to using iron utensils to serve food, because iron utensils always have an iron smell.
Even if ironware has been used for a long time, it is difficult to avoid this problem, which will always affect the taste of food.
But the old Liu family has a secret recipe, which is to boil the deodorized lard very hot, and then wipe the ironware continuously. When the surface of the ironware is filled with lard, the iron smell will no longer spread.
Liu Qiang has never mentioned this method to outsiders.
In this era, removing the smell of pork is a technical job.
This iron tool is a unique skill in removing fishy odors.
Therefore, in Wangjiang City, there are only a few restaurants in the Duan Family Restaurant that serve food served in ironware.
Fortunately, the last time Duan Wenjun invited Lin Jinglei and the others to dinner and make hot pot, Liu Qiang was able to arrange it for him.
Liu Qiang was very surprised. He hadn't even told his son about such a secret matter. How could the young master's family know about it?
However, he thought about the preparation of the braised pork, the improvements in braised meat, and the preserved eggs from the past few days...
It seems that there is nothing in the world that the young master does not know.
In an instant, Duan Wenjun's image in Liu Qiang's heart suddenly became much taller.
Liu Qiang made up his mind to take his son and work with the young master's family...
