"Aunt Yao, are you here?" Lin Fang said weakly, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
Yao Erniang looked at Lin Fang's weak look and asked with concern: "Are you okay? You should eat something. What should you do if you have two children?"
"I'm fine, isn't life like this all the time?" Lin Fangshi looked depressed. She didn't want to, but recently there were fewer channels for obtaining food, and she couldn't bear it any longer.
"I came here today to ask you three to come to my place and have a chat. My youngest wants to take this boy from the Red Army as his apprentice. If you are willing, go ahead. Don't force me if you don't want to."
When Lin Fangshi heard this, she swayed a bit, but luckily she held on to the door frame and didn't fall down.
"But is it true? Chef Su agreed?"
"Yes, Su Xiaoqiang said it himself."
Lin Fangshi calmed down and was about to call her two children when Lin Hongjun came out with her sister Lin Hongyi.
"mother."
"You heard it, Red Army, and you must be filial to your master in the future." Lin Fang's face burst into tears as she looked at her 9-year-old son.
Yao Erniang looked at her mother, with mixed feelings in her heart. If she didn't care what her mother's family thought and went back to the countryside with her children, the production team would not drive them away. In the worst case, they would beat her. Who is afraid of who?
It’s just that going to the countryside doesn’t seem to be a good choice this year.
…
Su family.
Everyone was there, and Su Daqiang even asked Guo Da, a drunken man, to come over and listen as a witness.
"Lin Hongjun, have you decided to learn cooking?"
"I have thought about it. I will definitely study hard and respect my master in the future." Lin Hongjun is young but sensible and knows that this is a rare opportunity for him.
Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "These are all old thoughts. I teach you because I think you are a talent, not because I want to get something from you."
"As long as you have a kind heart, be a good person, and cook well, you will be worthy of me."
"Having said that, the most basic three-year apprenticeship and two-year service are still required. This is the basis of being a human apprentice." Guo Da said while drinking.
"I listen to Uncle Guo, and I also listen to Master!" Lin Hongjun immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times. Su Xiaoqiang also accepted this gift. Seeing this, Sanya on the side also knelt down with a plop and cried out sweetly. : "Master~"
"Okay, everyone, get up. You will be my eldest disciple from now on, and this is your junior sister. Sanya, you don't need to call me master, you can still call me uncle."
"Uncle~" Sanya called out cutely, then turned to Lin Hongjun and shouted: "Elder brother~"
"Little junior sister~!"
They are both familiar, they just changed their names.
"I haven't prepared anything yet. I'll buy it later." Lin Fangshi said excitedly.
"No, I'm not an old man, so that's enough. From now on, Xiaojun will follow me as an apprentice in a big hotel. Of course, if you want to go to school, I can also send you to school."
"As for Sanya, I will come back to teach. From now on, I will have to spend an hour every night to practice..."
Su Xiaoqiang briefly explained his arrangements. As for the two yuan and fifty cents for a semester of studying, it was not bad, so he treated it as an investment.
Lin Hongjun looked forward to it, but then he thought that he was too greedy and it was inappropriate to want to study.
"I don't want to study anymore, so I can learn cooking skills from my master with peace of mind!" Lin Hongjun wanted to learn this skill as soon as possible and then return to honor his master and mother.
"I won't force you to do this. If you don't go to school, I will also teach you to recognize characters, but they are just basic characters." There are not many commonly used characters in life. As long as you know thousands of common characters, it will be enough. , it doesn’t take much time to teach one or two words every day.
The most important thing is that the dialect spoken in Sijiucheng is not much different from Mandarin, so just learn a little bit to avoid going blind.
The next day.
Su Xiaoqiang got up early and took Lin Hongjun to ride to the hotel.
Go two hours early and ask Lin Hongjun to contact the knife maker. As for cooking, it's still early.
When they were halfway through the ride, they saw a familiar figure, Qin Huairu struggling to walk back with a child in her arms.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiang riding over, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Xiaoqiang, what a coincidence..."
"Unfortunately, I don't have time at work, so let's go~" Su Xiaoqiang didn't even stop, but stepped harder and flew directly in front of Qin Huairu.
"Stay away from this woman in the future." Lin Hongjun was holding on to the pole behind the 28th big bar. It was his first time riding a bicycle. It was so fast!
Hearing Su Xiaoqiang speak, he said tremblingly: "The Jia family is very annoying. That guy used to laugh at me a lot, and I didn't even talk to him."
"That's good."
Su Xiaoqiang just took a look at Qin Huairu. He was recovering well, but he was very curious about who paid for her medical expenses. It couldn't be all paid by the scapegoat Si Zhu.
…
State-owned hotel.
"There is no one here now. Let me teach you how to shred potatoes first!" There may be fewer other things in the restaurant now, but potatoes are definitely not.
"Master, do you want to clean up first?"
"Don't worry, wait until everyone is here. My sister-in-law also works here. It's inconvenient for her to be pregnant now. You can help her more later and save more people." Lin Hongjun was told to do these things. Su Xiaoqiang I won't feel anything at all.
"Okay Master!"
Next, Su Xiaoqiang began to teach Lin Hongjun how to hold a kitchen knife. The kitchen knife was held incorrectly and it was difficult to cut vegetables!
Unknowingly, 2 hours passed.
When Su Xiaoqiang saw Li Neng coming, he immediately pulled Lin Hongjun to him and said, "Secretary Li, I accepted an apprentice yesterday, and I will bring him with me to work in the future. Is it acceptable to the hotel?"
Li Neng was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways and looked at Lin Hongjun.
"Congratulations to Chef Su for accepting an apprentice. This kid looks very smart." Li Neng smiled and touched Lin Hongjun's head, waved his hand, and then walked inside.
"Okay, you can study here with peace of mind from now on." Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile. As long as he didn't refuse, it means he agreed. If anything happens, he will be responsible for it.
At most, I would say that this is where customers come to eat, and children can also come to eat in big restaurants.
Lin Hongjun didn't understand, but he was right to listen to his master.
When Guan Ping and Zhang Bao came to the kitchen today, they saw a little figure. After asking, they found out that this was Chef Su's apprentice, and that was his little brother. The two of them enthusiastically chatted with Lin Hongjun.
This enthusiasm made Lin Hongjun gradually adapt to the busyness of the kitchen.
Wait until lunch time.
Lin Hongjun looked at the pork, cabbage, minced meat and potatoes, fried pork with chili peppers, and white steamed buns in front of him. He didn't dare to move his chopsticks. These dishes were so good. Are they for himself?
"Master, will it happen if I eat these..."
"Don't say anything after leaving this door, don't ask anything, just eat here, you can't take it back." Some things should be tacitly agreed upon, and Li Neng didn't say anything or stop him, which shows that this is acquiescence, but You can't ask. It will definitely not work if you ask.
Anyway, wipe your mouth clean after eating, who knows.
For example, two people, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao, ate more than one person. He knew why he came to work in the restaurant, so he had the foresight.
