Chapter 328: Xiao Lu's hand
The old gentleman turned to the girl and Barna again, and explained the menu and requirements that he had brought out.
Barna finally understood the meaning of the old gentleman's dish this time. But even so, he still looked at the girl with puzzled eyes, and still felt that the old gentleman's words were very inexplicable. I don't know what the old gentleman meant by making the girl his apprentice. However, what Barna could know was that if the girl could become the old man's apprentice, she would definitely have a better life in the future! And it was all the old man's request, and Barna could not help but do what he wanted, so he could only do it.
Before, Barna didn't understand the old man's instructions, which made him angry, and now if he still ignores it, maybe the old man will break out again.
Now, what does the old gentleman want her to do to meet her heart?
Under the old gentleman's gaze, Barna tentatively handed the girl a handful of vegetables. Let her wash them first. The old gentleman shook his head at Barna silently behind the counter, not satisfied with his choice. It's not enough for him to do that.
Receiving the old man's instructions, Barna couldn't help but have some worries in his heart. Do you have to let her do more advanced steps? But besides cleaning the dishes...... Any other step is quite complex! You need to have a sufficient level of competence to be competent!
Can she do it? She is still in a blank state, and she does not yet know the old gentleman's idea of testing her! Can she really show the state and ability that the old gentleman hopes for without a clear purpose?
Barna gave the girl some fruits and vegetables and asked her to cut them into shreds and chunks as requested.
It doesn't seem very difficult, cut out the filaments and blocks, just need to be thin and uniform, the length and size are consistent. It's okay to waste a little bit of material. But if the old gentleman still doesn't agree, and wants him to come up with more materials, it will be troublesome! If they are currently in the back kitchen on the first floor, it would be fine, but on the eighth floor, many materials are of extraordinary value!
The higher the floor, the higher the level and value of the material...... At the same time, the increase in the level of ingredients here also means that the food used here will be more complex, rarer, less common, and more difficult to handle!
In the evening, Barna made some leftovers and toppings for the guests outside of the main meal of the buffet, and they were all terrified! For fear of being seen as inflexible! Not to mention being asked by the guests to make a complete dish from beginning to end! And now, the participants are still waiter partners who are not in the chef formation......
Why couldn't the old gentleman refuse him in a tactful tone when he first proposed that he needed to make a dish?
However, Leah, who was next to Barna, was very flat about the situation, and kept bringing the dishes that Barna had said in front of her. The materials she cut are all quite horizontal, the coarse is coarse, the thin is fine, and the thin is thin.
The last one in the basket, she also took it. But such an action made Barna's eyes glare. This is a fruit and vegetable that he deliberately put at the bottom! And this fruit and vegetable is much different than all the fruits and vegetables before it! Barna wanted to explain it before the girl processed it!
Before he could react to stop it, he saw that she had lifted the kitchen knife and sliced it downward.
Oh no! Barna was shocked! He hadn't told her what he was going to do before! He hadn't told her about the material and how he cut the fruit! The other fruits and vegetables were soft and no matter how they were cut, but this one was different!
This fruit has a shell! a thick and sturdy shell! and a regular planer can't cut it off!
However, the girl's handling is still the same, and the speed of the knife is still extremely fast! Before he can speak, the girl's first knife has already fallen on the chopping board!
As Barna expected, even though the knives were extremely sharp, they were not cut in half at once because of the hardness of the shell. Moreover, because of the reckless cutting method, the knife still cut off a small corner, and you can see that the vegetables and fruits are exposed to some inappropriate external force to open the inner skin!
Barna's heart was cold, girl, this really won't! This vegetable and fruit can use extremely little flesh, but the shell is hard, it is difficult to remove, and the slightest carelessness will hurt the internal flesh! Because of this, once the technique is incoherent, it will fail, and the flesh will be destroyed, and when it is taken out, the flesh will become more mutilated, and the beauty of the dish will be lost!
Such fruits and vegetables cannot be put on the table, they can only be scrapped!
However, the girl still calmly used the kitchen knife to cut the fruit and vegetable, as if she felt that even if the fruit and vegetable were cut by her and turned into such a shape, it could be eaten and used as a dish!
Leah's actions made Barna very flustered. The material is valuable, but if it is placed elsewhere, it will indeed continue to be used, and at best it will not look good.
But this is the eighth floor! The food here is very demanding on appearance! Even to the point of being harsh! After all, it's not just about taste and smell. A beautiful appearance that whets your appetite is also a key part of the dish!
If you want to put such a material on a plate, you can't do it! Especially under the gaze of the guests! It's like knowing that something has been done wrong, failed, but still insisting on finishing it, and serving him this defective product!
Barna looked at the old gentleman. I saw that his eyes were also staring at the girl, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't seem to be satisfied with this result!
If the old gentleman is not satisfied, this will inevitably mark the girl as a failure! If he waits to leave quietly, then it will announce that the possibility of the girl becoming the old gentleman's apprentice will come to naught!
Feeling bad, Barna hurriedly turned to Leah, intending to explain to her in detail how the fruit was cut and give her a new one. Nervous body swayed, but then abruptly stopped as the girl took the next step! Barna began to look at the scene in front of him with an uncanny gaze.
After a few careless cuts, the girl seemed to understand something, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her face. Then, she quickly cut the shell a few more times, dropped the kitchen knife, rubbed it vigorously with both hands, nodded and looked at it in acknowledgment, and finally picked up the knife again, like polishing a glass ball, holding the vegetables and fruits in one hand, and caressing the knife on it with the other, round and round.
She used her index finger and thumb to pinch the newly broken horn and slowly uncover it. As if pulling silk, the hard shell of the fine shell was as if it had been glued together by a thin thread, and she peeled it off into a whole filament covered with broken shells!
Barna looked at the girl in front of him dumbly, although the steps were different, but this shell was indeed peeled off very smoothly! The higher the level of ingredients, the more means and abilities are needed, and the more clearly you must know the internal structure of this kind of vegetables and fruits! Only by knowing these can you really process the vegetables and fruits quickly and without damaging their appearance!
However, the girl obviously has no attribute power, and there is no way to use brute force to cut a beautiful appearance, and it seems that this is the first time to contact this vegetable and fruit, but why...... I was able to find a way to deal with it!
Even Barna felt that the ingredients in her hands that were about to be scrapped had been left behind by her!
Barna swallowed, the girl dealing with it differently than none of them. They are carefully cut from the interface of the upper edge into small incisions in the direction of eight petals, and they are broken. This method of almost breaking the flesh is unimaginable! Because it doesn't seem so simple, they cut it into eight petals and only open the part of the head that is not easy to skew, and then only need to use skilled force to guide the peeling.
But the difficulty is that you need to make countless incisions in the flesh of the fruit, and you can't hurt the inner cortex in order to make the final shocking act!
By the way, this is the dish! Barna, who suddenly woke up, turned his head and looked at the old gentleman next to him. I saw that he also had a stupid expression, obviously he also felt that he was dizzy and saw a false situation!
Of course, the girl didn't care at all about how amazing what she had just done, only that she had just managed to peel an egg from another world.
The old gentleman couldn't hold back his impatience anymore, and with an excited face, he stood up with a 'swish'.
The girl is really the person he likes! She has extraordinary talent and level. It's only the first time she's done with such a complex dish, and she's able to make it at such a level!
For the old gentleman, his purpose was not really to ask the girl to make a dish for him to eat, but to see if the girl had any talent in cooking, or whether she had any good foundation in cooking. Able to make better dishes.
The real purpose of the old gentleman is to try the girl's ability base!
That's right! The old gentleman recruits apprentices, but he doesn't just mention it casually, he just gets started, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. He cares about the individual's basic skills in this regard! And this condition is not just a casual talk, talking about the sky can fool the past!
The old gentleman did this to the girl, just to not let the girl know that the old gentleman had this intention, as well as his various likes and dislikes! In this way, the girl could not be scrupled by the previous chat and discussion between the two, and there would be unfair and deliberate deviations!
And what the girl has done, not only has she already passed, but also surpassed the ideal level in the old gentleman's heart! She can reach such a height with the level that she can usually reach, and if she is taught more specially, how high will it be? This kind of reasoning ability seems to be much more powerful than the warlocks that have been cultivated since childhood by those famous families who specialize in certain side jobs!
Besides, the girl was not familiar with all kinds of vegetables and fruits at first, obviously she was not familiar with these vegetables and fruits, but she had just heard a little introduction from the chef just now, and she had some understanding!
However, with these rudimentary knowledge, she did not show the slightest inferiority when she was on the field temporarily and really treated!
Her basic level is at least at the level of the Higher Ministry!
The old gentleman stroked his beard. He looked at the girl with delightful eyes. This time, he really picked up the treasure.
"Yes, you have done a great job, and you have met my conditions!" said the old gentleman, smiling, as he walked towards the girl.
The girl stopped the kitchen knife in her hand and looked at the old gentleman with a look of incomprehension. She didn't know what the old gentleman was trying to do. But looking at the spring expression on his face, it should be a great thing for him, right?
The old gentleman nodded excitedly, as if he was scanning the figure in front of him, and then said in an affirmative tone: "Your performance is very good, and you have enough conditions to become my apprentice! Now, as a third-order nine-rank, high-level high-level warlock, I invite you to be my apprentice! Are you willing?"
The old gentleman was looking forward to it and was very sure, and the person in front of him nodded.
It's just that the girl in front of the old gentleman was stunned, thought about it, and then turned her body to Bana with doubt. Then, when she looked at Barna, her expression changed to the same as that of the old gentleman, looking at the figure in front of her expectantly, as if she wanted to see his affirmative look of nodding in agreement.
