Chapter 58: The Disciples

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and into the house, reflecting the back of Liu Mang, who is kneeling in the room, into a golden yellow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today is the day when Master Buyu, that is, Lin Modi, officially accepts Liu Mang as a disciple.

It is different from the general hotel where you do chores around the chef and chef and explore by yourself. In the chef industry, if you want to really learn some of the secrets of old-school chefs, you must follow some ancient rules, and the apprenticeship ceremony is an essential part of it.

The reason is very simple, teach the apprentice to starve the master. I will teach you my craft, and if you teach others at will, it will inevitably affect your own survival.

So this is also a traditional industry, such as cross talk and carpenters, who have their own set of rules before apprenticeship, which are used to restrain the doorman.

Master and Master, although there is only one word difference between these two words, the meanings are very different.

Shifu is just a name for some people with high status in the industry. And the master is the one who wants to teach you by hand and give you food.

The so-called deception of teachers and destroying ancestors was a heinous crime in ancient times.

Of course, these rules are worthless in the eyes of modern people, and they are far less attractive than the red old man's head.

There are many people who teach apprentices, but the apprentices have turned against themselves, which is simply a big rebellion in the eyes of Liu Mang, who has an ancient style.

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

Your master will be bad in the end, and that is your own choice. Just like a father, you can be ashamed of some of his behaviors and disagree with some of his ideas, but you must not dislike or dislike him, but respectfully serve him and die peacefully.

This is the obligation of an apprentice, and it is also the basic principle of being a human being.

The ritual of apprenticeship is very complicated, first of all, you have to bow to the ancestral master.

Unlike Peng Zu, who slaughtered the herring fish king last time, Liu Mang worshipped Yi Ya this time. That is, the one who killed his son and boiled it into soup and offered it to Qi Henggong to eat.

Although his behavior is inferior to that of a modern person, it cannot be denied that this man has a peerless talent in cooking.

Confucius once said: "Those who are in harmony with each other can know it by tasting it." ’

This means that even if you mix Zishui and Mianshui together, Yiya can still taste it.

After worshipping the patriarch, the second ritual is to bow to the master.

Liu Mang respectfully picked up a bowl of tea, handed it to Bu Si, and was about to kneel down.

"Wait!" silently hugged him: "I just dictate, not pass it on, I can only be regarded as half of your master, you only kneel to me, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will help you find a real teacher." ”

Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, knelt on one knee, and raised the tea bowl high: "Master, please drink tea!"

silently picked up the tea bowl, blew lightly, and took a small sip: "I, Lin Modi, have been out of school for more than 30 years, and I have been practicing basic skills for the first ten years, and then starting with Cantonese cuisine, then learning Shandong cuisine, and finally Sichuan cuisine, the three are integrated, and this is the chief of Manhan Building." There are so many cuisines and so many ways in the world, even if you are extremely poor, it is difficult to learn it in your lifetime. ”

Speaking of this, he paused: "But everything changes from its origin, and thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground." So I decided to teach you some basic skills first, as for the things outside the basic skills, it is only up to you to figure it out on your own, and with your talent, you will definitely achieve something in the future. ”

Buyu took out a string of beads from his pocket and handed it to Liu Mang: "This is a string of phoenix-eyed Bodhi, I have been playing with the teacher for many years, so I will give it to you as a token." ”

The difference between a master and a master can also be seen from here. The master just takes you to work, and when you are in a good mood, he will point you out, while the master is the person who regards you as his own son and inherits his mantle.

Although Liu Mang seemed to be forced to accept him as an apprentice, in fact, both parties knew very well in their hearts - it was just a joke between master and apprentice before accepting apprentices.

If he really didn't want to speak, even if a vat of monkey wine was placed in front of him, it would be impossible.

After the token was given, the apprenticeship ceremony was over, and he stood up silently and helped Liu Mang on the ground.

"Your knife and spoon skills are already very solid, and it is difficult to go further in a short period of time, but your thickening techniques and oil control ability are still slightly weak. I had already eaten this last time I ate the boiled pork slices, and although my sense of taste has deteriorated a lot, the other sensations are still there. ”

"I also know this, and I have practiced it before, but the progress is very slow, far less fast than the speed of the sword chapter and spoon skill. ”

"That's because you don't know how to train. Silently walked outside the door and beckoned to Liu Mang: "You come with me." ”

Liu Mang followed silently to the kitchen. Silently, he instructed Liu Mang to move out a table, put a large disc, and then took out a bag of cornstarch from the cabinet and sprinkled it evenly on the disc.

Liu Mang looked at what Bu Yu was doing now, and he was very curious, not knowing what he was going to do.

When the flour was sprinkled, he took out a handful of broad beans and sprinkled them on top of the starch.

"Try it, pick up the broad beans with your left hand. He said silently.

Liu Mang did so, and without saying a word, he spread out his left hand and pointed to the starch on his fingers: "This is unqualified! The touch of your fingers is not sensitive enough, and the real master will not get starch on his fingertips when he pinched the broad beans, so the amount of starch you pinch up when cooking is not accurate enough." ”

Without saying a word, he stretched out his left hand, and his fingertips quickly clicked on the disc. In Liu Mang's stunned, as soon as his two fingers touched the broad beans on the starch, they quickly retracted, and as soon as they touched them, they were like butterflies wearing flowers, which was dazzling.

"See? That's it! My right hand is gone, but my left hand isn't! It's nothing, I used mung beans when I practiced this!"

Silently, he stretched out his left hand to Liu Mang's eyes with some pride, his fingertips were clean, and there was no starch at all.

"This is how the people who came out of the Manhan Mansion practiced?" asked Liu Mang.

"Of course! Manhanlou was the royal family to cook imperial meals back then, and of course the technical things must be improved. Generally speaking, those who can be chefs have been honed for many years at this level. ”

"No wonder! It turns out that this is how I practice!" Liu Mang suddenly realized in his heart.

Only now did he understand how that Li Qianran managed to thicken without a slight, and he could perfectly wrap it around the ingredients.

Sure enough, there is indeed a big difference between having a master to teach and exploring by yourself.

"Of course, some of your other flaws need to be honed, but it's hard to get started, so start with the basics. ”

After saying nothing, he picked up the gourd and poured a sip of wine, hummed a little song and walked out, leaving Liu Mang in the kitchen.

Liu Mang rolled up his sleeves, calmed down, re-sprinkled the broad beans on the table into the disc, and began to practice.
