Chapter 265: A Year in a Hurry
The work in the back kitchen was finally done, and the little girl said to Ye Heng very gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for your help today, I would really be scolded again!"
"You're welcome, these things should have been done by me, and I was punished for coming here today to do chores. Ye Heng smiled, "I estimate that I will work here for a long time in the future, let's help each other." ”
"That's great!" the little girl shouted happily, and then hurriedly explained to Ye Heng, "I'm not saying that it's too good that you've been punished, I'm saying it's great that someone can help me work together, don't be angry!"
"I know what you mean, alright, let's clean up quickly, and we'll be done when we're done. Ye Heng still has to invite his friends to dinner at night, so he is in a hurry to leave.
While the two were packing up their things, they continued to chat, and the little girl asked, "Senior, what's your name, I'm a freshman this year, and my name is Yang Siling." I'm probably too stupid to do anything well and be punished for doing chores here. ”
"My name is Ye Heng. ”
"You're Ye Heng!" the little girl screamed excitedly, "Senior, I've heard your name, you're so amazing! When I heard that you were a freshman, I beat the people of the Jingwu Academy to the ground, just like Xu Liang this year!
"No problem, your name is Yang Siling? Ye Heng agreed, kept his hands in his hands, and continued to clean up the back kitchen.
At this time, Zheng Chef came over with a small teapot and said to Ye Heng: "Boy, you did well on the first day, come half an hour early at noon tomorrow, you can go." ”
"Okay, Master Zheng, then I'll go first!" Ye Heng agreed, saying that he was leaving, but he didn't leave immediately, but packed up the garbage and took it away by the way.
After Ye Heng left, Chef Zheng said to Yang Siling: "Learn more from Ye Heng when you work in the future, I usually see that you are quite clever, how can you become a headless fly as soon as you work!"
"I wrote it down, but I haven't done this before, I don't understand anything, I'm sorry for the trouble!" Yang Siling said embarrassedly.
"You have to be attentive in everything you do, watch more and learn more, understand?" Zheng Chef reminded, "Okay, you can go too." ”
Yang Siling cheered and ran away, Zheng Chu said thoughtfully: "Ye Heng seems to be easy to do, but this girl, how can she be enlightened?"
Ye Heng returned to the dormitory, and the invited friends and scholars had already arrived, just waiting for him to come back to open the table. Ye Heng washed his hands and deliberately took out a jar of thirty-year-old Xingfen drunk to entertain everyone.
"The wine we drank today, let me tell you, this is the wine made by my grandfather himself, I promise you have never drunk such a good wine before, come, prepare a wine bowl!" Ye Heng said with some ostentatious expression while opening the mud seal.
"Don't brag, we're brewing in a wine vat, I haven't drunk any good wine?" Ma Jingyun shouted, "Come, pour me a bowl to taste first!"
Ye Heng removed the mud seal, and suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed! The mellow taste made people feel comfortable, and the mouth couldn't help but secrete saliva, which made people feel appetizing!
"Sure enough, it's good wine!Ye Heng, come on, come on, pour me a bowl, I'll taste it!" Ma Jingyun shouted and stretched out the wine bowl. Ye Heng poured it for him first, and poured a bowl for each person in turn, and then said: "This wine has been stored for a long time, and it has great stamina, everyone can't drink too much, it's easy to get drunk." ”
Don't look at Ma Jingyun's babbling, after he really got the wine, he didn't rush to drink it, but first put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then showed a look of intoxication, and said: "Ye Heng, it's interesting enough! This wine is at least twenty years old, maybe it's older than me, I'll take back what I just said." ”
"Count you as a kid, otherwise you won't have a share of good wine in the future. Ye Heng joked, "Okay, let's have a toast together!"
And all the people got up, and screamed and touched the bowls, and they drank as much as they had, and no one drank a single bowl of wine.
The wine entered the throat, except for Ma Jingyun, the biggest changes in their expressions were Lin Qingshuang and Sanmenjun. All three of them were born into large families, and their appreciation of wine is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, and they can know the quality of wine after just one sip.
Lin Qingshuang's eyes were like stars, he looked at Ye Heng, and said, "Ye Heng, do you still have this wine?" If so, I want as much as I want, the price is not a problem." ”
Ye Heng hurriedly shook his hand and replied, "Yes, yes, but there are only a few jars left, and it is not enough to drink it yourself." If you want to buy it, ask grandpa for you next time I go back. ”
"I don't think there are many old wines of this vintage, but are there any new wines? If they can be produced in large quantities, I guarantee that they will sell very well. Lin Qingshuang only took a sip, and she tasted the unusual taste of Xingfen drunkenness, which contained infinite business opportunities, so her mind immediately came alive.
Ye Heng immediately understood what Lin Qingshuang meant, and said, "Let's talk about this matter privately, if you have the intention, we can cooperate." ”
Lin Qingshuang nodded lightly and did not continue the topic. Sanmenjun stepped on Ye Heng under the table, Ye Heng looked at her suspiciously, Sanmenjun whispered in his ear: "Leave me three jars of this wine." ”
"I only have one altar left!" Ye Heng helplessly told her the truth.
"That altar is mine, give it to me at night!" Sanmen Jun said domineeringly, Ye Heng could only nod obediently.
"Me
Say, can you two pay attention! What do you mean to give me at night? Is our existence disturbing the two of you?" Sanmenjun's last sentence was a little higher, and Ma Jingyun heard it, and the kid immediately began to tease the two.
"Little Master, you can give it now if you want it, don't be so stingy, big man!" Erniu didn't know why, and kindly reminded on the side.
Erniu's words immediately turned Lu Yuning on the side into a big red face, twisted him fiercely, gritted his teeth and warned him, and said: "How many times have you told you, don't talk nonsense when you don't understand, you're going to be angry with me!"
"Erniu is right! Ye Heng, you are a big man, how can you be so uninteresting, and you have to force Sister Jun to force you? Or you can give it now, we have food and drink here, you don't have to worry about us, you better meet Sister Jun's request!" Ma Jingyun fanned the flames on the side, laughing very obscenely.
Hu Guanghui and Yan Liuqing are Ma Jingyun's fox friends and dog friends, and they understand Ma Jingyun's words, and Hu Guanghui immediately echoed: "Sister Jun, you and Ye Heng have been separated for more than a month this time, we can all understand the pain of lovesickness." Ye Heng came back yesterday, didn't he give it to you? Ye Heng, you said you too, how can you be so confused?"
"Ye Heng, it's not that you're a brother, you see what you've forced Sister Jun to be! Men, take the initiative when it's time to take the initiative, how can you let a woman take the initiative? You must know that women are thin-skinned, Sister Jun has made this request, how bad do you say!" Yan Liuqing said with a look of hatred that iron is not steel.
"What are you talking about, not what you think!" Ye Heng explained, but who would believe what he said, even if he knew that he was telling the truth, everyone would not let go of this opportunity to joke.
There are no stupid people sitting there, seeing Ye Heng and Sanmen Jun being ridiculed by these three people continuously, how can they not hear their meanings, the boys all burst into laughter, and the girls all blushed one by one, glaring at Ma Jingyun and the three of them fiercely.
"Ma Jingyun, is it itchy to dare to make fun of the old lady!" Sanmenjun was also teased with a red face, and threatened Ma Jingyun with bad words.
Ma Jingyun immediately confessed, and hurriedly said: "Sister, sister, I know that you are irritable and changeable and emotionally unstable during this time, you try to control, control, control, and control! Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it!"
"We won't say it anymore, we understand, we understand!" The other two immediately followed suit, but judging by their expressions, how could they be so hateful? Sanmen Jun couldn't wait to immediately stomp on these three faces and rub them fiercely on the ground!
"It's really a dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!" Sanmen Jun said hatefully, "Ye Heng, tomorrow you take the time to check the training results of the three of them during this time, you must check it 'seriously', do you hear?"
"Sister Jun, we were wrong, don't check! Ye Heng just came back, he must be tired, don't work him, don't you say?" Before Ye Heng could answer, Ma Jingyun immediately begged for mercy.
"That's it, Ye Heng has just returned to the Martial Academy, and he is still working in the back kitchen in the afternoon, we feel sorry for him, so don't trouble him!" Hu Guanghui and Yan Liuqing also pleaded with Sanmen Jun, they knew in their hearts that Ye Heng's strength was above them, even if he hadn't participated in Elder Wu's training for more than a month, he would definitely not let go of his cultivation, and he would really do it, in case Ye Heng wanted to clean them up, there was no doubt that he would be beaten and his face would be swollen.
"Now I know that I'm afraid? Illness comes from the mouth, disaster comes out of the mouth, I can't control my mouth, be careful that I can't eat and walk around!" Lu Yuning said fanning the flames on the side.
"Ye Heng, come, I'll toast you!" At this time, Zhao Guang stood up and toasted Ye Heng, finally changed the topic and helped Ma Jingyun and the three of them to relieve the siege.
Sanmen Jun did not continue to embarrass the three of them, which made them secretly relieved.
"Ye Heng, let's go back and have a discussion, after the two guns are in hand, now they are running in like an arm, can you help with this." Putting down the wine bowl, Zhao Guang said.
"No problem, I'd love to see what you're capable of. Ye Heng happily agreed.
The banquet lasted until late, and everyone went away with their hearts. Ye Heng took the initiative to give the last altar of Xingfen to Sanmen Jun, as for whether he gave it to the others, only the two of them knew.
Ye Heng returned to the Hero Martial Arts Academy, and finally lived a regular and fulfilling campus life again, in addition to normal classes and training, he had one more content than others, that is, doing chores in the back kitchen. It's not that difficult to do chores, but some people can do it well, and some people can't do it well. The difference is in two words, "heart".
The catering industry is commonly known as diligence, and it is not good to be diligent if you are not diligent. On the first day that Ye Heng officially went to the back kitchen to do chores, he was familiar with the location of various items and ingredients. This is the same as fighting a war, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win a hundred battles, and you don't even know where to put the things you need to use.
This is the process that newcomers have to go through when they enter any unfamiliar field, familiar with the environment is the prerequisite for your survival, and sometimes someone will kindly remind you that you must be grateful when you meet such a person, because no one is obliged to help you for free, and many times no one tells you what to learn and what to do. If you sit idly and wait, you will never stay in this place for long. You will even complain about how your thousand-mile horse can't get Bole's appreciation, and your stomach is full of grievances.
The new environment requires you to take the initiative to adapt and familiarize yourself, and the people and things in this environment will never revolve around you, the newcomer. No matter where you come from, it's important to know where you stand in your new environment.
After getting familiar with the environment, Ye Heng's work efficiency is obviously not like a newcomer who has just arrived, and he can send over whatever the chefs want in time. Under his infection, Yang Siling also slowly became smart.
The little girl is not stupid, her family background should be very good, as a martial artist, there are many times to dance guns and sticks, and there are very few times to cook on the fire, for the field that she is not familiar with, of course, she is not good, she is a little clumsy, so she is often scolded by Zheng Chef. Now with Ye Heng, a handyman who can teach by word and deed, the little girl has learned from each other, and she immediately opened her mind, and gradually stopped being scolded.
There was less scolding, more laughter, and the atmosphere in the back kitchen was not as messy as before.
Ye Heng's cooking skills were already good, but now that he has the opportunity, he is willing to learn more. But everyone in the kitchen is very busy, even if Ye Heng wants to learn, others don't have time to teach him. Ye Heng had to observe carefully, such as which ingredients and condiments were needed for which dish, and knowing this, he could prepare the ingredients in advance. When a chef is asked which dish to cook, there is no need to tell him, Ye Heng can always prepare what he needs in advance.
After knowing the combination of dishes, Ye Heng began to further learn how to make various meals, the mastery of the heat, the order of the pot, and the appearance of the pot, these skills must be carefully figured out. After a semester, Ye Heng is no longer just a miscellaneous person, sometimes the chef is resting, he can go up to replace him.
A semester has passed, and Chef Zheng still hasn't let Ye Heng leave. I also chatted with him from time to time, talking about some cooking things, which meant to teach skills.
In this semester, Ye Heng did a big thing, that is, he cooperated with Lin Qingshuang to build a distillery on the outskirts of Yong'an City to produce Xingfen drunk. The old stone naturally taught Ye Heng how to make wine, but the place is different, and the difference between water quality and food is also very big, so although the wine has been made, it has not been sold, and it is still being debugged.
Because, the taste of these newly made wines is somewhat different from the authentic Xingfen drunk made by old stones, but it is still much better than ordinary wines.
Although the cooperation between Ye Heng and Lin Qingshuang seems to be in the loss stage, the two still cooperate sincerely and there is no contradiction. Ye Heng dedicated the production method of Xingfen drunk, Lin Qingshuang used his relationship to recruit a group of craftsmen who were proficient in wine making, and half of the investment in building the factory, as for the management, Ye Heng completely delegated power, and Lin Qingshuang arranged someone to be responsible.
With the continuous adjustment and improvement of the craftsmen, the pure taste of Xingfen drunk was finally produced. After Lin Qingshuang discussed with Ye Heng, he did not start selling, but hid all of them. They plan to find a suitable time to bring Xingfen drunk to the market, and with the taste of Xingfen drunk, they will definitely be an instant hit and famous all over the world. All that needs to be done now is mass production, increasing inventory.
After the holiday, Ye Heng went back to the small courtyard he rented when he first came to Yong'an City, which was the last place he got along with the snow wolf. After the snow wolf disappeared inexplicably, there was no news. Ye Heng was afraid that the snow wolf would not be able to find him after he came back, so he simply bought the small courtyard.
The small courtyard is cleaned, and it is obvious that there are often people taking care of it. Ye Heng entered the room, and there was a letter he wrote to Snow Wolf on the table, but still no one touched it.
"Snow wolf, where are you, are you doing now?" Ye Heng looked at the familiar room with melancholy and said, "You must not be in danger, if you miss me, you must remember to come to me!"
In the end, Ye Heng came to the small courtyard and sat alone in the courtyard for a quiet day. The next day, Ye Heng led Xu Liang and other members of the Fengbing Pavilion to leave Yong'an City and return to the Fengbing Pavilion.
After a year of development, Fengbing Pavilion has become the fifth-ranked first-class force in Changye City. Through the cooperation with Xiangyunzhuang, the branch is being established in Ningfeng City, the state capital of Fengxin Prefecture. Also with the help of the Fengbing Pavilion, Xiangyunzhuang also has its own branch in Changye City. The alliance between the two sides has been further strengthened, and the benefits for both sides have been increasing.
The wolf cavalry secretly cultivated by Ye Heng and Kong Ying's manpower finally reached the number of 100 people. When he came back this time, the first thing Ye Heng had to do was to conduct special training for Xu Liang and other members who were also studying in the Hero Martial Academy, and if possible, transform them into wolf cavalry. Ye Heng had already thought about it, and this team would be led by Xu Liang in the future.
The second thing is to go to the Blue Wolf Ridge for retreat. After a semester of accumulation, Ye Heng felt that he should be able to break through to a new martial rank. His cultivation had been stagnant at the intermediate Martial King level, but Ye Heng was not in a hurry. Because he knew that in the later stage, it was very difficult to improve the martial rank, so he did not deliberately forcibly improve.
In the past year, although his martial rank has not improved, his strength is still improving, which is of course thanks to Elder Wu's training, and it is also inseparable from Zheng Chu's help. The more he interacted with Zheng Chu, the more Ye Heng felt that he couldn't see through this big white fat man.
Chef Zheng always unconsciously gave Ye Heng all kinds of hints or guidance, which often made Ye Heng feel like he was suddenly open. Whenever there was a problem with Ye Heng's training or cultivation, he would always appear in a very timely manner, chatting with Ye Heng seemingly casually, obviously talking about cooking and stir-frying, but it could always make Ye Heng feel empowered and have an epiphany in an instant.
