Chapter 135: Daomen Zhai
A world-class chef like Billy Wang, even the Yanjing Tang family can only use it.
If he is in a bad mood, even if he is offered a higher salary and salary, Wang Billy will still refuse in person.
However, at this moment, the chef completely abandoned his dignity and knelt on the ground and begged Xuanwei to take him in.
It can only be said that the vegetables and fruits produced by the Heaven and Earth View are too unique, but these vegetables and fruits cannot be obtained through other channels, so Wang Billy made such a seemingly absurd decision.
"Tomorrow night, do you think it's appropriate for a foreign chef to come to our small Taoist temple as a pawn?" Xuan Wei said to Ming Ye.
Tomorrow night with a bitter face, embarrassed: "Master, Chef Wang has been pestering me these days, I really can't help it!"
With Tomorrow Night's patience, they were all overwhelmed by harassment, which shows how frustrated Wang Billy was after making up his mind.
"Dao Chief, I can do anything, as long as you hand over the kitchen of the Taoist Temple to me!" Wang Billy said taking the opportunity.
That categorical tone, I almost want to sell myself!
Before, Xuanwei thought that Qiushui was a music idiot, but after seeing the depth of Wang Billy's obsession with cooking, Xuanwei couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately, Qiushui was not so serious that it was almost demonic.
"Master, didn't you have the idea of recruiting a pawn before, or let Chef Wang try it?" asked Ming Ye tentatively.
However, all the larger temples and Taoist temples have special seats responsible for three meals a day.
Considering that the view of heaven and earth is becoming more and more prosperous, it is undoubtedly a matter of time before the canons are enrolled.
Fruits and vegetables are already delicious when eaten raw or simply cooked, but if they are carefully cooked, they may be even more delicious.
Xuan Wei is not a professional chef after all, and he does not have enough time to spend in the kitchen, if there is a suitable person to take over the task of preparing three meals a day, he will naturally be happy to relax.
In terms of culinary skills alone, Billy Wang, a world-class chef, is definitely condescending to come to Tiandiguan as a pawn.
The problem is that the canons also belong to the staffing of Taoist temples.
If Wang Billy wants to view the spoon in heaven and earth, it is equivalent to entering the Daomen!
Even if he is classified as a member of the outer sect, he is not considered a disciple of Xuanwei, but he still nominally has to pay homage to Xuanwei, the master of the temple.
Not to mention Wang Billy's character and qualifications, his status as a foreigner alone is a huge obstacle.
It's not that Xuan Wei has any prejudice against foreigners, or has the mind of not spreading the law, it's just that the Taoist knowledge is broad and profound, and even the Chinese people have a great difficulty learning it, not to mention the foreigners who grow up in a completely different cultural soil.
Promoting the culture of Taoism to foreign countries and absorbing foreigners into Taoism sounds really good.
However, what Xuan Wei wants is not just fancy gimmicks, even the most basic concepts and ideas of the Dao Sect cannot be understood, and even foreign disciples who have stumbled over the scriptures, even if they are absorbed, what is the point at all?
"Dao Chief, my grandfather was from China, and under his influence, I was full of curiosity about the ancient civilization of China since I was a child. When I was in college, my major was the study of ancient Chinese culture, such as Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", which I studied carefully. After graduating, my customers included many Chinese people, and from them, I also learned a lot about the culture of Taoism. Wang Billy seemed to guess Xuanwei's embarrassment, and immediately said.
The implication is that he does not have such a serious cultural barrier, and is very willing to learn more about Taoist culture.
"Can a layman accept a salute to a disciple of the poor path? You must know that the age of the poor path is much younger than that of the layman. Xuan Wei asked rhetorically.
"There is a saying in Huaxia that 'there is a precedence in hearing the Tao', the Taoist chief hears the Tao first, and is the master of the view of heaven and earth. Billy replied solemnly.
It is hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of a foreigner.
Xuan Wei pondered for a moment, and said slowly to Wang Billy: "The layman is also considered to have a heart, so my door is wide open, and it is okay to give the layman a chance!"
"Please also ask the Taoist chief to make it clear!" Wang Billy's eyes lit up and he was very excited.
"As a pawn, the main task is to prepare the daily meal. There is no set recipe for vegetarian rice, it is simple or exquisite, and every Taoist temple is different. The layman also made a meal according to his own ideas, and as long as the poor Taoist thought it was qualified, he would allow the layman to worship under the Heaven and Earth Temple. Xuan Wei said.
When Wang Billy heard this, his two eyebrows couldn't help but screw together.
He naturally didn't have any doubts about his cooking skills, but in the face of Xuanwei's open-ended test questions, he felt somewhat difficult to start.
What kind of dish is a qualified Daomen Lent meal?
Delicious, nutritious, simple, or what other characteristics do you want to meet?
"Tomorrow night, you can take this layman to the kitchen, and the ingredients in it can be used as you like. Although the conditions are a little simpler, it is enough to accompany a meal. Xuanwei said.
Thinking that there might be those magical fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, Wang Billy, who was still entangled in the examination process a second ago, immediately beat like chicken blood, with a look of impatience.
After leading Wang Billy into the Taoist temple tomorrow night, Xuan Wei frowned and muttered to himself: "System, your problem is a little too difficult, right?"
"In view of its exceptional circumstances, the system considers it necessary to set certain thresholds. If you can't even cross this threshold, even if you enter my Dao Gate, you are doomed to do nothing, and you will be embarrassed. "The system replied very bluntly.
That's right, the test of asking Billy Wang to prepare a qualified meal actually comes from the requirements of the system.
"How will you judge later?, you won't be able to taste the taste of rice, right?" asked Xuanwei.
The system didn't give an immediate answer, and the sudden quiet air made Xuanwei feel a little uneasy.
After a few seconds, the system finally squeaked, "It's up to the host to judge whether the meal is qualified or not." If the host thinks it is qualified, it is qualified, and if it is considered unqualified, it is not qualified. ”
Xuan Wei sighed lightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
After getting along for so long, Xuanwei didn't think the system would be so kind.
It seems that the system gives Xuanwei the right to make its own decisions, but it does not give specific criteria for judging at all, which is no less than a hidden minefield.
"This test shouldn't just be for Billy Wang, right?" Xuan Wei said.
"It's good that the host understands, so pay attention to the right when judging. If he is too loose and let him enter the Heaven and Earth View Gate, his stage assessment task will make the host understand what it means to be miserable in the future. Similarly, if you get stuck too hard and judge the food that can be qualified as unqualified, then the system will continue to have the high standard of the host in the future!"
