During the day, Li Dao pulled Ling Xiao and Liu Li into a private room. He took out the invitations and wrote some names one by one, almost enough to hold several boxes of invitations in a cardboard box. He said that he wanted to invite all the people from the master and uncle anyway, and it took him almost a morning to finish writing.

Then he began to plan how the apprenticeship ceremony would go, and he asked the two for their opinions. Liu Li shook his head: "It's good for you to decide." ”

Ling Xiao began to talk to him about various plans, but Ling Xiao had not experienced it, and only revised his original plan.

Li Dao said: "I still have to order a set of clothes for the two of you that belong to my master, you can be Uncle Zhang, and I will ask him later." And when those people come, you two have to go and greet me together, this Uncle Huang and your uncles like to drink. Even if you can't drink it, you have to accompany them. As long as everyone is here, you can start apprenticeship, and I have told you many times about the rules. You have to remember that you can't forget, it's not good to have a foreign appearance when the time comes. ”

He talked endlessly, and at first the two of them listened with great interest, but when they heard it, they found that his words seemed to be repeated several times.

"When the time comes, I will take you one by one to introduce you, put dessert in your mouth, and call it whatever I want. By the way, I should make a call to ask your senior brothers to come over early and follow along, and do reception work. He rubbed his temples as he spoke, as if he felt that there were other aspects that he hadn't said, but he couldn't remember them all at once.

A day later, he arranged the kitchen and the front hall again, and explained that Liu Li and the others sent him their weight and height before leaving, saying that they were going out to buy some things and send out invitations.

The tired two sat on a stool and smoked cigarettes, and Liu Li asked him, "Are you like this?"

Ling Xiao waved his hand: "I fucking thought that apprenticeship was, just take a cup of tea and toast, and just shout Master." Who knew it would be so tiring! He also said that he would have to set up more than 30 tables, and this table would cost thousands of yuan. But fortunately, he has a good relationship with the boss, so he doesn't have to pay out of pocket, we are only responsible for expressing it when the time comes. ”

"It's a little troublesome, but I think our master hasn't been so lively for many years, and he should want to be lively. Liu Li saw Huang Xin coming over as he spoke.

Huang Xin's smile on his face couldn't help but make the two of them vigilant, he smiled and clenched his fists: "Congratulations to the two junior brothers! ”

The two returned the salute: "Thank you, senior brother." ”

Huang Xin's eyes turned: "Senior brother, do you know why I am the only one by Master's side?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads at him.

"There were a lot of people who followed him at the beginning! But there were always some people who were not honest or thought they were smart, and they were either banned or expelled from the school. He smiled sinisterly and said, "I have always loved my junior brothers very much, especially those who are unhappy with themselves. I hope you two don't follow in their footsteps!"

His insidiousness was fleeting, replaced by a smile, a very fake smile: "Don't say it, senior brother, I still have something to do! I hope you can behave well at the apprenticeship ceremony, and learn cooking skills by Master's side." ”

After he left, the two of them glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that they had already been dismounted a few times before they entered the master's door. Fortunately, he was the only one who followed Li Dao, otherwise one person would have enough for them to eat. But why he was the only one who followed Li Dao, and there were many things that could be heard from his words, which is worth speculating about.

When Li Daozhi came back, he took the two of them upstairs to start rehearsals, anyway, he was familiar with the venue. I'm usually in the kitchen, and I'm not familiar with the private rooms above. Familiarize yourself with everything before you get acquainted with it. The waiter or the foreman, both men and women, knew that the two people who followed the chef were about to become their apprentices.

Before, the two of them were like air in their eyes, but now their weight has changed unconsciously. There are also many people in front of him who want to become his disciples, but they don't have the opportunity to learn to cook, so there is envy and jealousy in the eyes of the two of them.

But there are also many people who have shown their favor, and Liu Li is a little flattered by their enthusiasm, but Ling Xiao is in a state of enjoyment.

Half a month later, today's front desk reception directly does not accept other guests. The arrival of Li Dao's guests, which is equivalent to not being open for business on this day for this matter.

Liu Li Lingxiao was dressed in a white chef's clothes, which were different from the others, with special markings and a medal tattooed on them. The two of them held Chinese cigarettes in their hands, and the people who arrived fired them one after another. If you are older, you will call Uncle Shi, and if you are around 20 years old, there is nothing wrong with calling Senior Brother.

Li Dao was busy, came out after a while to receive people, and went in again with his shoulders around the people who came. The kitchen is also in full swing, busy for today's thirty or so tables. The two of them stood for a morning, and when they saw that no one was outside, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao's smoky hands were already trembling, and so was Liu Li. Put the leftover cigarettes in your bag or in your mouth. Speaking of which, I really haven't smoked such an expensive cigarette, and it feels like it's about the same as ten dollars. But it's also expensive, so it's good to take it back to the fat man to taste.

The guests had already arrived, and although the dishes were ready, all the people were standing in the hall. Li Dao looked around, he took the microphone from the waiter's hand and tried the tone, and found that it was normal, so he walked to the top of the hall and began to speak: "Thank you, senior brothers, junior brothers, and uncles, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here." ”

The stereo on the ceiling sent his voice out so that everyone could hear it clearly. There was a sound of applause and cheers around him, and he smiled and said: "Now the apprenticeship ceremony begins, after the apprenticeship ceremony, please take a seat, I hope you eat and drink well, and you can ask for anything during this period." If there is anything that is not done well, I hope to bear with me. ”

After his politeness, everyone looked forward to it, and the waiter brought a chair for him to sit down, and then a few waiters carried two cups of tea and two boxes.

Liu Li and Ling Xiao's hearts beat faster, they look at me, I look at you, and they want to check if the other party has reached the best state. I also secretly cheered in my heart, and the people around took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and the two of them were even more nervous under the full flash. Only one person in the crowd looked at all this indifferently, looked at it for a while and didn't care, and directly took out his mobile phone and started playing.

Seeing Li Dao nodding slightly at the two of them, he walked in front of him from the side, and the two knelt down on their knees. I knew the rules from the beginning of talking about it, and there was nothing to be ready to kneel in. It is said that the man has gold under his knees, but the person in front of him is the master. What is the master, the master is in the front and the father is behind, and the master is of course treated like a father.

"Master!"

Li Dao's face bloomed with joy, and he nodded. A waiter brought tea. Liu Li took a cup and bowed his head and served: "Master, please drink tea!"

Li Dao took it and touched it lightly with his lips and put it in the waiter's tray, and so did Ling Xiao.

After the tea, the two got up and then knelt down again, kowtowed, and Li Dao helped the two of them up with both hands.

"Good, good, good!" he said three good words in a row, and then another waiter brought two boxes, and Li Daoyi gave them one by one.

He said: "The two boxes are my gift to you, a kitchen knife, and a handwritten handwriting. You all open it up and take a look......"

When the two of them opened it, Liu Li's knife was full of cold light, and there was a burst of coldness in his hand. The blade is not long, but it is a few points thinner than a regular kitchen knife. It feels light and sharp, as if it is not a kitchen knife, but a murderous knife. There are a few words on the knife. Liu Li, then a little, after a little is a forbearance. In addition, it is a calligraphy and painting, as soon as he opens it, it is a German character, which is written with a brush, which makes people feel that the dragon and the phoenix are dancing at a glance, and the edge is exposed. Each stroke feels like it has been carefully crafted.

Looking at Ling Xiao's knife again, it is unremarkable, but the blade is very long and thick. The words on the knife are similar, the workmanship is rough, but on the whole, there is a trace of unspeakable domineering......

The same is true of his German characters, which are mediocre and do not have the slightest stroke of brushwork. It seems to be written in one stroke, seemingly simple but showing a majestic momentum.

The two of them hugged their fists and thanked each other, and Li Dao said, "Liu Li, the things I gave you are all harsh and ruthless. It doesn't matter if it's a knife or a word, because you have these things on your body. However, there is a word on the knife that is forbearance, and it is difficult to achieve great things if you think about the word forbearance clearly.

Ling Xiao's things are all a kind of domineering momentum in the bland, but you have to pay attention to restraint. Otherwise, you will hurt yourself after all.

I'm not sure if you'll be chefs all your life, but I want you to remember it when you're a chef. A chef does not look at whether he has skills, but whether he has cooking skills. With it you can become a real chef. ”

The crowd applauded, and the two of them also turned around and bowed.

The two of them nodded earnestly and memorized his words verbatim. As soon as he began to sit at the table, Li Dao took the two of them to toast from table to table and introduced these people.

After a whole circle, Liu Li almost drank more than one beer. It was the first time he had drunk so much alcohol, but he didn't feel much drunk, so he spilled his urine and continued to drink as long as his stomach didn't rise.

Ling Xiao's amount of alcohol was not high, and he forcibly drank eight bottles and reached the limit, so he ran to the toilet and vomited. After vomiting, he fell unconscious and was dragged by the minister to sober up in the kitchen. Originally, he could have rested, but now that he was alone, it was more uncomfortable. Occasionally, you have to know how to block the wine with Li Dao's eyes, and those teachers and uncles themselves can't be disrespectful.

At this time, he realized the trouble of not blushing when he drank, because others thought he hadn't drunk much, and he picked up his glass again. The people gradually dispersed, Liu Li couldn't resist anymore, and sat down casually, but saw that Li Dao was still drinking with him. He is even more than Liu Li, but he doesn't see much drunkenness.

Of course, Liu Li couldn't compare the amount of alcohol with this man in his forties, and Li Dao also saw that he couldn't do it, so he walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder.

"You go back first, you teachers and uncles really want to have a drink, I have to accompany them. Go back and get a good night's sleep, rest tomorrow, and sleep in. ”

Liu Li had already gone up, and looked at several of him, nodding at the air on the far right: "Then Master, I'll go first, you should go back and rest early......

He didn't remember what he said in the end, anyway, he stuffed two red envelopes into Li Dao's pocket. One is your own, and the other is Lingxiao.

This is something that should be honored as an apprentice, and Li Dao didn't look at it, and helped him outside to give him a taxi, and then went back to accompany those people and started drinking.
