After these days of practice, Tiancheng's skills in washing and peeling potatoes are getting better and better, and in these two months, Tiancheng has also learned to ride a motorcycle, and has also learned many vegetables and the characteristics of each vegetable.

On this night, Lao Guo said to Tiancheng: Tomorrow morning, you go to buy vegetables by yourself, I will write you a list, you go to buy it yourself, this time you will be tested by your eyesight, one is to test your understanding of vegetables, the other is to test whether you have a scale, and then there is a test of your ability to do things, can you do it?

Tiancheng replied: I can do it, Uncle Guo.

Uncle Guo smiled and said: Then you can rest early, and it will depend on your performance tomorrow.

Tiancheng replied: Okay Uncle Guo, I will not let you down.

There was nothing to say all night, and in a blink of an eye, it was five o'clock the next morning, Tiancheng got up on time, rode a motorcycle to the farmers' market, and when he got there, Tiancheng was like buying every ingredient with Lao Guo every day, which was to a vegetable stall, Tiancheng said: It's still the same as yesterday.

Because these days Lao Guo took Tiancheng to buy vegetables, so everyone knew each other, and soon the stall owner put the vegetables that Tiancheng needed, but today's vegetables are not quite right, because the vegetables in the past are particularly fresh, and today's vegetables are left over from yesterday, but the boss did not say anything, after Tiancheng got the dishes, he felt wrong, and then asked the stall owner: Today's dishes are different, boss?

The stall owner replied: No, what's wrong?

Tiancheng took out two vegetables and said: These dishes are from yesterday or earlier, right, boss?

The stall owner laughed and said: I'm sorry, it's really yesterday, I'll take it in and change it for you.

After saying that, the stall owner gave Tiancheng a change of points and handed it over to Tiancheng today, and after Tiancheng left, Lao Guo came out of it and said with a smile: See, this kid is still very good, it seems that it is okay to let him come to you to get vegetables in the future.

The stall owner shook his head and said with a wry smile: Alas, I didn't expect such a big child to be able to do this kind of thing, I see that the freshness of vegetables is still taught to me by my father, I have studied for 3 years and achieved a little success, but I didn't expect this child, only two months, to be able to compare with you.

Lao Guo also smiled and said: I didn't expect him to be able to do this in such a short time, which is really surprising.

Soon Tiancheng took all the ingredients and returned to the county government, just put the ingredients into the kitchen and prepared to start preparing to classify and process the ingredients, at this time Lao Guo said from behind: Good job, Tiancheng.

Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: What's wrong, Uncle Guo?

Lao Guo replied with a smile: I didn't expect you to be able to see the freshness of vegetables in just two months, and you can handle it so well.

Tiancheng smiled and said: Uncle Guo, what did you say?

Lao Guo continued: You can actually be angry about today's and yesterday's vegetables, you know, even if it is yesterday's vegetables, spraying some water is almost the same as fresh vegetables.

Tiancheng replied in surprise: Uncle Guo, how do you know?

Lao Guo smiled and said, "I'm at the farmer's market, so I know."

Tiancheng seemed to know something, and said to Lao Guo with a smile: Those dishes can't be made by Uncle Guo, right?

Lao Guo smiled: Of course, I just tested you, congratulations on passing the test.

In this way, they finished processing all the ingredients, and Lao Guo said to Tiancheng: Next, we will practice knife work.

After speaking, Lao Guo took a potato and said to Tiancheng: You want to make this potato into shredded potatoes, come and show me.

After Tiancheng answered, he picked up a knife and cut the potatoes, cut the potatoes after a while, and then said to Lao Guo: I finished cutting Uncle Guo.

Lao Guo looked at Tiancheng's cut potatoes and said, This is the shredded potatoes you cut?

Tiancheng replied: Yes, what's wrong Uncle Guo?

Lao Guo replied: It's okay if you eat it at home, but if it's on the table, it's not good, do you know why?

Tiancheng asked: Why?

Lao Guo then replied: Because if you want to go on the table, it means that it is a really good thing, and you have to work hard, and you see the shredded potatoes you cut, the thickness is different, and the length is also different, if you put it out, it will affect the type first, and if the type is not good-looking, who wants to eat it with chopsticks?

Tiancheng replied: But we are like this at home.

Lao Guo said: This is not in your own home, first of all, you have to understand this, and secondly, you have to know that cooking here is a person with a head and a face to eat, so ah, the things you make, the first must be good-looking, the second must be delicious, and the third must be creative, only in this way can you gain a firm foothold here, otherwise people can casually find someone to replace you, do you understand?

Tiancheng nodded and said: I understand Uncle Guo.

Then Lao Guo said: I'll do it for you once, and you can see what I cut out.

After speaking, Lao Guo picked up a potato, first took a rest on the four sides of the potato, then trimmed the potato into a rectangular potato piece, then cut the potato piece into potato chips, and then shredded it.

Tiancheng picked up the shredded potatoes and looked at them, and said in surprise: Uncle Guo, how did you do it, it is so thin, almost the same thick, and the same length.

Lao Guo said, I know why you wash and cut potatoes like that. Because only then can you trim a qualified rectangular potato, if it is big, the plate is not good-looking, if it is small, it is too loose, so the washed potatoes should be as big as the original, but the old skin must be removed, because the old skin has an earthy smell, which is difficult to remove.

In this way, Tiancheng began to wash and cut potatoes every day, followed by cutting potatoes, and practiced day after day for about half a month, and then Tiancheng said to Lao Guo: Uncle Guo, look at how I cut now?

Lao Guo looked at Tiancheng cut potatoes and said with a smile: It's not bad, it's basically qualified, but you still need to continue to work hard.

Tiancheng said: Knowing Uncle Guo, I will definitely work hard.

Lao Guo said: Next, you give me a square potato cube and I will take a look, the size is two centimeters.

Tiancheng promised: Okay, Uncle Guo.

But when Tiancheng cut it by hand, I realized that it was not only difficult to cut shreds, but even more difficult to cut pieces.

Lao Guo seemed to see something, and said to Tiancheng: Don't think it's difficult to shredd, in fact, it's still to come, because shredding is actually the easiest, if you are given an ingredient, let you cut the ingredients into the original shape, but the size has changed, then it is difficult.

In this way, Lao Guo and Tiancheng said some basic qualities and requirements as a chef, and things that need to be paid attention to, of course, to teach Tiancheng some other skills, Tiancheng learned quickly, so another month or so passed, and the construction site started immediately, and Uncle Wang was going back to work on the construction site.
