The kitchen in the Taste Building is not in the building, but in the back. Mu Fan followed Xiao Er out of the back door, and in front of him was a spacious courtyard, with separate rooms on both sides, the sound of spatulas intersecting was endless, and Xiao Er was constantly entering and exiting each kitchen with trays.

Xiao Er took Mu Fan directly through the courtyard, and after passing through an arched courtyard gate, there was a slightly smaller garden. Compared with the front yard, it is much quieter, there are lush green bamboos planted under the courtyard wall, and about twenty or thirty meters to turn right, a clearing appears.

In the middle of the clearing were three huge stoves, and several handymen were watching the fire. On each stove, there are ten emerald green steamers, white smoke surrounds and the aroma of steamed buns spreads.

Behind the stove, there is a row of long planks, and a dozen workers who roll up their sleeves are diligently kneading the dough. A big man with a black face, with his hands behind his back, walked from side to side like an overseer, inserting his fingers a few times from time to time.

After Xiao Er motioned for Mu Fan to wait in place, he stepped over to the black-faced man, bent down and said something respectfully. Mu Fan cautiously looked at the black-faced man, this person was around fifty years old, with a square face with tiger eyes, thick eyebrows and steel beard, and a very burly figure, especially two arms, standard unicorn arms.

"He should be Jiaoxiang." Mu Fan thought in his heart, but he was a little uncertain, this person's image was more like a charging general, not like a cook at all.

Mu Fan was thinking about it, when he saw the strong man turn his head to look at him, and then waved his hand and motioned for him to go over. Mu Fan didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly to the strong man's side.

"This is Jiao Xiang, you have to completely obey him for the past two days." Xiao Er's words confirmed the thoughts in Mu Fan's heart.

"I've seen Jiaoxiang." Mu Fan gave a salute, I don't know if Xiao Er told the other party that he was punished for eating white food. If Xiao Er said it, Jiao's first impression of himself would definitely be very poor, and the impact on Mu Fan's apprenticeship in the future would undoubtedly be huge.

Jiao Xiang nodded slightly, his expression could not show joy and anger, and asked, "What's it called?" This Jiao Xiang's voice is very consistent with his appearance, very strong.

"Mu Fan." Mu Fan paused, learning the name of the Three Kingdoms: "The word breaks the waves." ”

"Sail through the waves, it's a good name." Jiao Xiang said, "Come with me." With that, he turned and walked back.

Mu Fan followed quickly, and the two came to the door of a wooden house in the north of the courtyard one after the other. Jiao Xiang put down the sleeves of his shirt, patted the flour on his shirt, opened the door with a solemn expression, and walked in.

Although Mu Fan couldn't figure out what Jiao Xiang was doing, he didn't dare to ask, so he straightened his clothes and followed him into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, a unique smell of sandalwood surrounded Mu Fan and gently inhaled it into his nose, giving people a very cool feeling, as if he had stepped into another world, everything was quiet, all his troubles disappeared and disappeared with the wind.

Mu Fan looked around, and there were six one-person-high carved dragon pillars in the room, with white lanterns hanging on the tops. Directly opposite Mu Fan was placed an offering table, and on top of the offering table, there were fresh tribute steamed buns, incense burners, and a spiritual tablet. The spirit card is half a foot wide and two feet high, and the dragon and phoenix carved on the four sides are very gorgeous. A large dark gold character is engraved on the spirit card, 'Kong Ming Xiangguo's immortal position'.

"It seems that Jiao Xiang, the cook, admires and respects Zhuge Liang very much, and has specially set up an immortal seat for worship." Mu Fan thought secretly.

"Breaking the waves, the steamed bun is created by Xiangguo, in my place, whether you are an apprentice or a two-day short-term worker, as long as you participate in the steamed steamed buns, you need to worship Xiangguo first." Jiao Xiang respectfully took out three sandalwood sticks from the offering table, lit them with a white candle, and said to Mu Fan, "Kneel." ”

Zhuge Liang is Mu Fan's idol, and since he has come to the Shangqing side of the Three Kingdoms, it is natural to pay respects. So Mu Fan stepped forward to the pu mat, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed respectfully three times. Then he got up and took the sandalwood in Jiao Xiang's hand and solemnly inserted it into the incense burner.

As the saying goes, people are old and adults, and ghosts are old and ghosts. Jiao Xiang has been reading countless ghosts for so many years, and at this time, he naturally saw that Mu Fan's respect for Zhuge Liang was sincere, and he couldn't help nodding secretly.

After the worship, Mu Fan looked at Jiao Xiang and pretended to be bold and asked, "Jiao Xiang, you just said that the apprentice is a long-term worker, I don't know what conditions are needed?" ”

"Do you want to learn steamed buns?" Jiao Xiang was slightly surprised, just now Xiao Er had already told himself about Mu Fan, logically speaking, Mu Fan was just forced to do chores before dinner.

"Yes, I really want to learn." Mu Fan saw that Jiao Xiang did not reprimand and rejected him, and hurriedly replied seriously.

"It's easy to learn how to steam steamed buns." Jiao Xiang looked at Mu Fan and asked, "My steamed bun has an excellent reputation, but only this taste building can be sold, do you know why?" ”

Mu Fan frowned slightly, listening to Jiao Xiang's words, it shouldn't be difficult to apprentice. Steamed bread Mu Fan has eaten, this kind of food should be in short supply in terms of sales, it stands to reason that people with a little vision will come to join to learn. Not to mention that the branches are all over the six districts of Xudu, they should also be all over Shangqingfang, and it makes no sense that only the taste building has to be sold.

"Little ones don't know." Mu Fan told the truth.

"The reason is simple, if you want to learn the cooking skills of my steamed buns, there are two difficulties." Jiao Xiang said: "First, the cooking skills of steamed steamed buns require accumulated practice to master, and the lazy cannot learn. Second, after you finish your studies, you must follow my rules. ”

To say that Jiao Xiang, a strong man, his admiration for Zhuge Liang can be said to be deep-rooted. As Zhuge Liang's royal chef, he has many specialty dishes. But in order to cherish the memory of his master, after Zhuge Liang became an immortal and left, he only made steamed buns invented by Zhuge Liang. So the purpose is not to make money.

If you want to join Jiao Xiang steamed buns, you must abide by his two rules, first, set up an altar to worship Zhuge Liang every day. Second, the price of steamed buns must be fixed at fifteen gold. The materials and kitchenware used in Jiaoxiang steamed buns are all of the best selection. If nothing else, the price of flour is frighteningly high. Excluding labor costs, the cost of each steamed bun reaches about 14 gold. In other words, the profit of each steamed bun is pitiful for the small. After studying hard for many years but not being able to make a profit, normal businessmen will naturally not choose to join and learn.

However, these two points are not a problem for Mu Fan. First, the system has reminded him that as long as he obtains the secrets of cooking, he can master it on his own, and there is no need to study diligently. Second, Jiaoxiang's rules only apply to the sixth district of Xudu, and after Mu Fan completes his studies, he will return to the world and will not open a store in Xudu. Therefore, these two requirements are very harsh for other ghosts, but in Mu Fan's eyes, they can be ignored directly.

"Well, do you really want to learn now?" Jiao Xiang asked.

"Learn, of course." Mu Fan nodded hurriedly, "I will definitely not violate the rules you said." ”

Hearing this, Jiao Xiang was a little surprised. Few people will do a business that cannot be profitable.

"Ugly words ahead, if you agree to study, we will sign a formal agreement, once you open a store in Xudu but do not abide by the agreement, I will sue the government to punish you." Jiao Xiang said solemnly, once he accepted an apprentice, and after the other party learned, he secretly went to another party to open a store, and set the price of steamed buns at thirty gold. Later, he was discovered by Jiao Xiang and sent to prison after being sued by the government.

"Jiao Xiang rest assured, the reason why I study is that the steamed buns are delicious, and I like to eat them very much. Second, Kong Ming Xiangguo is the person I admire the most, and I am willing to honor him in this memory. Mu Fan is also telling the truth, when he returns to the world to open a store after learning, no matter how much the price is set, it is not a violation of Jiaoxiang's rules.

"Okay, I'll take your apprentice." Jiao Xiang said happily, "Kneel down and kowtow." ”

Mu Fan quickly knelt down, respectfully kowtowed to Jiao Xiang three times, and called the master.

"Get up." Jiao Xiang helped Mu Fan up, and he also looked very happy, "From today onwards, I will teach you the method of steaming steamed buns, you have to study hard, don't be lazy." ”

When Mu Fan nodded, a systematic prompt appeared in his mind.

The host has successfully found the pastry cooking skill to be learned, and the task progress is 2/3, now please ask the host to try to obtain the cooking information. Reminder, there are twenty-one hours and forty-three minutes left before the mission time.
