Chapter 389: Apprenticeship

That night, the entire Jiang family knew the good news that Jiang Feng had won an apprentice.

Accepting apprentices is an absolute big deal in the chef industry, and it is not surprising that a bunch of relatives and friends are gathered for the apprentices, a banquet is held, and kowtows to tea in the presence of everyone. But this is generally a plate that only a master can have, and the real behind-the-scenes boss of Taifeng Building, like Jiang Feng, who even the employees of Taifeng Building don't know, has just emerged in the chef world and is famous, so naturally he can't put this card on the table.

In addition, Jiang Feng is young, if he says to the outside world that he wants to accept apprentices, most people will only treat it as a joke or something that young people don't understand and foolish, so the matter of accepting apprentices doesn't have to make the teacher move, as long as the mind arrives.

Under the discussion of the uncles and the two old men of the Jiang family, everyone decided to let Ji Xia give Jiang Feng a cup of apprenticeship tea tomorrow under the witness of the elders of the Jiang family, and just go through the procedures that should be taken.

Early the next morning, Ji Xia rummaged through her suitcase and found her cleanest, neat and relatively formal clothes, sorted out her clothes and appearance with Ji Xue's help and guidance, and went downstairs to Jiang Feng's house.

The living room of Jiang Feng's house has been sorted out, the coffee table and some other sundries that stand in the way have been removed, the sofa has been replaced, and the small two-bedroom house has been blocked by everyone in the Jiang family. Marginal characters like the fourth aunt, the fifth aunt, Jiang Jianjian, and Jiang Jianye, who were observers of the apprenticeship, could only stand in the dining room, and the living room could not be squeezed in.

Not to mention Jiang Shoucheng and Jiang Zaide, there is no place for them in the dining room, so they can only go into the kitchen or watch from a distance in the bedroom with the door frame, as long as their necks are stretched long enough, they may still be able to see something.

Ji Xia was frightened by the battle of the Jiang family.

She knew that Master had many relatives, and there were many brothers and sisters in their village, and they were always lively during the New Year's holidays, and they couldn't fit a single table to open several tables. Some families have more than a dozen uncles and aunts, and the table can't even fit at home during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so they have to be placed all the way from the living room to the door, and the family dinner is as lively as eating a wedding banquet.

But what Ji Xia never thought was that the relatives of the master's family were not too many people, but that they occupied a lot of area.

More than a dozen people stood in the living room and dining room, and they felt like twenty or thirty people.

For today's apprenticeship, Comrade Wang Xiulian also deliberately picked up her old profession again, and calculated an auspicious time with her own not exquisite and even somewhat foolish skills.

The summer season has arrived, and the auspicious time has also arrived.

In ancient times, there were three sequences of apprenticeship: the first step was to worship the ancestor, the second step was to worship the master, that is, to offer tea, and the third step was to give the master a lecture, saying the rules, and giving a name if necessary.

When Jiang Feng arrived, there was only the second step of the apprenticeship ceremony.

If you can, of course, there is no problem with worshipping the ancestor, but the problem now is that even the Jiang family can't figure out who their ancestor is. Tracing back from Jiang Chengde, neither Jiang Weiguo nor Jiang Weiming knows anything about it, Jiang Chengde is not a person who likes to mention the great achievements of his ancestors, and even because Taifeng Building was defeated by Jiang Chengde's father, Jiang Chengde has always been very taboo to mention the old glory of the Jiang family.

From which generation did the Jiang family start cooking, and who is the real founder of Jiang family cuisine, these former glories have long disappeared in the long river of time with artillery fire and war.

And now, everyone knows that they will witness the glory of the Jiang family today.

Teaching is the most glorious and greatest thing a chef can think of, which not only means that they have successors, but also that their cooking skills are recognized.

Ji Xia walked towards Jiang Feng under everyone's gaze.

No one in the Jiang family has accepted an apprentice for many years, and the only one who has accepted an apprentice among the people present is Jiang Weiming, but when he accepted the apprentice, he had already canceled the apprenticeship ceremony, and even the tea ceremony was secretly paid by Jiang Jian to find an opportunity. So no one in the Jiang family actually knew what other processes the apprenticeship had besides the tea ceremony, but Ji Xia knew.

Ji Xia remembered that her grandmother told her that the apprentice was going to kowtow to the master when he was apprenticing.

She was originally prepared like this, and she hesitated last night whether to kowtow one or three times, but today she was a little timid under so many onlookers.

Ji Xia still remembers what her grandmother said, kowtowing is no longer popular.

Jiang Feng was wearing a long robe, sitting on a chair, watching Ji Xia walk towards him.

The cheongsam on his body was made for him by the old man on his 18th birthday when the old man asked a tailor to order him, and in the old man's opinion, although the suit is a formal suit, it is a Western-style formal wear, and a Chinese-style formal dress is a cheongsam. Every child of the Jiang family has a long shirt given by the old man when they are adults, but whether it is Jiang Feng's three cousins or his uncles, or even Comrade Jiang Jiankang, their long shirts can only be buried deep at the bottom of the wardrobe because they can no longer wear them.

The gap between them at the age of 18 and them now is still a little obvious.

Only Jiang Feng, his figure and height have not changed, not only can he wear it, but he also wears it very closely.

Ji Xia walked up to Jiang Feng, knelt down, picked up the teacup on the table, raised his eyebrows, and took his waist as the axis, bowed down to bring the tea to Jiang Feng.

"Master, please have tea. ”

Ji Xia was so nervous that she kept biting her lower lip.

Jiang Feng stretched out his hand to take the teacup, and when he first started it, he suddenly felt that the teacup in his hand was very heavy, weighing as much as a thousand catties.

Jiang Feng brought the teacup, took a sip from his mouth, and put it down gently.

Jiang Feng doesn't know how to drink tea, no matter what kind of tea he drinks, he can't taste the sweetness or sweetness that others say, as if he was born with no cells to drink tea, or he was born with a bad mouthful.

But this time, he seemed to have tasted something else.

He tasted sweetness, but also tasted responsibility.

This cup of tea was brewed with his own eyes, the boiling water was poured into the teacup, the tea leaves fluttered to the ground, stretched out in the boiling water, and swirled and floated until it fell silent, all of this Jiang Feng saw in his eyes, even when he just drank it, the tea was still a little hot.

The apprentice should regard the Master as a parent, and the Master should treat the disciple as a child.

Although Ji Xia said that he wanted to worship Jiang Feng as a teacher, it was a bit like a child's willful anger, Jiang Feng said that he wanted to accept Ji Xia as an apprentice, which was like a joke. But since you have worshiped the teacher and accepted the apprentice, you must be able to bear the corresponding responsibility.

Just like Jiang Weiming and Jiang Jian, Jiang Weiming taught each other, and Jiang Jian treated each other sincerely.

"Bang bang. ”

There was a round of applause in the living room, and the two old men looked at Jiang Feng and Ji Xia with a smile on their faces, and Comrade Jiang Jiankang and Comrade Wang Xiulian were even moved to tears.

Ji Xia turned his head and saw Ji Xue standing at the door clapping and laughing, but her eyes were red.

It was as if everyone present had witnessed an amazing thing, and it was indeed a great thing.

"Get up. Jiang Feng helped Ji Xia up.

The apprenticeship is completed.

"From today onwards, you will have to learn how to cook with me, and you won't have a chance to complain about being tired. There is no turning back from the bow, and you can't regret stepping on this path. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Master, I'll do my best. Ji Xia said.

"Mom, let's go to the store first. Kiki and I are now taking Xia Xia to get her hair cut, and then we will go to the mall next to our store to buy her some clothes, and then go back when it is open for lunch. Jiang Feng began to report the itinerary to Comrade Wang Xiulian.

Comrade Wang Xiulian was excited and moved to wipe the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, as if she had just watched a touching movie.

"Buy two more clothes for Xia Xia and cut an expensive head. It's not easy for girls to have such long hair, don't just shave your head for 10 yuan like you used to get a haircut. Comrade Wang Xiulian instructed.

Jiang Feng: ......

Mom, be sober, you picked all the barbershops where I used to cut my hair?

"Oh. ”
