Lin Chun ran into the big kitchen of the inn and shouted, "Cuckoo! ”

The cuckoo, who was busy in front of the stove, turned around, saw a clear smile between his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Asking in his mouth, he already guessed in his heart that it must be good news.

Lin Chun was about to speak, but the cuckoo panicked again: "Oh, wait a minute, I'm stir-frying......" turned around and glanced at the pot, "Okay, it's ready to be served." ”

As he spoke, he waved the spatula with his right hand and stir-fried, and with his left hand, he took the plate handed over by the chef next to him, and put the lotus root slices in the pot in three or two clicks.

Lin Chun saw that the kitchen was full of smoke and steaming, and the cuckoo and the yellow bird each occupied a pot table, explaining while stir-frying, and the clothes on their backs were soaked; Two middle-aged men and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law surrounded them, pointing fingers, asking this and that; In addition, the running hall is in and out of the dishes, and they keep sending the menu, urging and urging, saying what the guests in the first room ordered, etc., plus kneading, cutting, and burning the fire...... The whole kitchen was full of people, hot and dry, and immediately unhappy.

He smiled and said to the shopkeeper with a straight face: "Shopkeeper lady, they are teaching you cooking, not cooks who help you cook." Why do you teach them all afternoon and do it in the evening? If you don't do it yourself, how can you learn the craft? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Miss Huang wants to do it herself......"

Lin Chun interrupted her and raised his voice: "You should do it yourself!" Make it, taste it, and think about it: if it's good, what's good; If it's not good, it's not good for anything. Is it more oil, or too much salt; Whether it is not fried, or it is old; It's a big fire. Or is the fire smaller...... Wait a minute. Only by thinking more can we improve next time. 'If you learn without thinking, you will be confused. If you die and don't learn, you die. No matter what you learn, you have to think about it and practice it. You also need to be able to draw inferences. If you don't practice diligently, you won't be able to learn it for the rest of your life! ”

He was angry and decided that they would be so stupid because they didn't learn by heart.

Because they are stupid, they make the cuckoo sisters so tired.

No matter what line of work you do, you are apprentices serving the master, how can you be a master so hard? So he was very angry, and he brought out his usual learning experience to teach them, which was very embarrassing.

The shopkeeper and the two cooks nodded again and again.

They expressed great admiration for Lin Chun's ability to say such "expert" and connotative words. I thought he was also a middle and high master.

Seeing that the chef was shocked by Lin Chun, the cuckoo snorted and laughed.

Lin Chun didn't laugh, and said to her: "According to the regulations, you should call it a day at this time." Dinner they make themselves. He shouted at Huang Li, "Huang Li, go!" ”

He just didn't want them to be called by the shopkeeper.

The cuckoo smiled and explained, "I made it for us to eat." ”

The shopkeeper also hurriedly said, "Miss Huang is cooking dinner for your family." We just took a look and didn't let her cook the inn's food. The guests' meals are all made by ourselves. ”

Lin Chun's face improved when he heard this.

He asked the cuckoo if he was ready, what else could he help with.

The cuckoo pointed to the plate of lotus root and said, "You take this head back." There are also two dishes and a soup. We'll go back when we get it done. ”

Lin Chun said decisively: "Let them get it, you two go back to wash your face first, and rest." We don't have to eat what you cook, either. Let them do it, one is to give them the opportunity to practice. Only by practicing more can we grow; Second, 'if there is something, the disciple will obey it'. They should be made for the master to eat; Three, I'm not good at cooking. The best to taste, let them do it for me. I knew if it was good or not when I tasted it. ”

When the cuckoo saw it, his mouth kept opening and closing, and he said a long list, which was justified and well-founded, and he couldn't help but smile.

"It's fine. I'll give you the chance. ”

She said to the shopkeeper and the two cooks.

The two cooks hurriedly said that this would be done, and Miss Huang would just have to watch from the sidelines.

Lin Chun glared and said, "Look at what!" I've been watching it all afternoon, and I've been watching it for many days before, and I still want to watch it? You do it, I'll taste it. What a big deal! Can you cut off your head if you burn it out? ”

While serving the vegetables, he pushed the cuckoo out of the curl, and shouted the yellow bird.

Out of the kitchen, the cuckoo and the oriole laughed together.

Lin Chun said: "What are you laughing at?" This is long overdue. Remember: you are the masters! Master, that's an elder, and it is appropriate to let the disciple serve. My master speaks, do you see that I once disobeyed my orders? ”

Teach all the way back to the yard where they were wrapped.

Lin Chun put down the dishes, went to the well to fetch water to wash the faces of the two cuckoos, and said, "You don't have to go." Brother Bao and I went to keep an eye on them. When it's done, bring it back. If it doesn't taste good, tell them to re-fry it. Let's just eat. This is what they should do. ”

The cuckoo wiped his face, Liang Jinjin was very comfortable, and said with a smile: "Go, go, go." Anyway, I made a few important dishes myself, and the rest were ordinary dishes. ”

So, Lin Chun took Huang Xiaobao to the kitchen.

The shopkeeper came over at this time, and when he saw that the cuckoo sisters had finished work on time, he couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what happened to these people." Obviously, he is a poor man from the mountains, and the shelf is very big. The two little girls did a little more, and neither of them was happy. ”

But he did not dare to offend them.

Not to mention Huang Yuan and his two friends, even Lin Chun was actually accepted as a disciple by Master Zhou of the academy, and I heard that Lord Yushi also had a good eye for him, and he sent someone to invite him in the afternoon.

In the backyard, Du Juan and the others have already started eating.

While eating, everyone listened to Lin Chun talk about things in the academy.

It turned out that Master Geng was embarrassed by Zhao Yushi, and he felt uncomfortable after all. didn't dare to confront him, so he set his sights on Lin Chun. He heard that Lin Chun carved four screens for Zhao Yushi, and bluntly said that he wanted to watch it. For fear of Zhao Yushi's refusal, he specially said Lin Chun's evaluation of his paintings, meaning that he really had some hills and valleys in his chest, or he was talking nonsense at all.

Zhao Yushi saw that he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, and he also had some other ideas, so without saying a word, he ordered someone to take the screen and send it to the academy, and invited those Confucian celebrities to observe and comment together.

Observing the results, it naturally caused a shock.

Geng Fuzi couldn't believe that this screen was made by a teenager.

Zhao Yushi ordered someone to call Lin Chun again, and told the public about his creative ideas and opinions on making this screen, as well as the methods used.

He said. Everyone kept asking.

Originally, I only asked about wood carving, but later it became a test of Lin Chun's knowledge.

This test is asked. Everyone found that this young man from a mountain village was not only extremely talented, but also had unique opinions. And they learned a lot of scriptures and historical articles, and mathematical and physical objects, which surprised them.

Master Geng's heart is even more like frying, and he wants to pick thorns, but he really can't pick them.

At Lin Chun's age, he can have such achievements and standards, and his demeanor is simple and natural, not arrogant, not impetuous, neither humble nor arrogant, and without the embarrassment and vulgarity of being born in a rural farmer. In the academy, they are also top-notch students.

He regretted and felt uncomfortable, but what he had done before was irreversible, so he never liked Lin Chun.

The mountain chief of Jingzhou Academy cast an appreciative look at Master Zhou, as if congratulating him on accepting such a proud disciple, while asking Lin Chun, can he do a big "Milk Tiger Roaring Valley, Hundred Beasts Panic"? It is said that it will be placed above the main hall of the lecture hall to encourage the students.

Zhao Yushi immediately said: "Exactly." The official was about to talk about it. This screen is too small, but it is more than delicate and flexible. The lack of grandeur is the reason why the pattern is too small. If it is unfolded, it will be thrilling. Are you sure you can do it? ”

Lin Chun nodded and said that it would take a little longer. Ten days and half a month for sure.

Finding the right wood is also key.

Zhao Yushi set his eyes on Governor Zhan.

Governor Zan immediately said that the Zan family also received a lot of nanmu. Available for him to pick from.

Governor Shen was busy saying that the Shen family also had it, and he also made every effort to supply Lin Chun's choice.

Zhao Yushi instructed Lin Chun to carve again: "The red sun is rising." His way is great", saying that he would bring it back to the capital. Send it to the national prison.

Governor Zan and the masters of the academy looked at Lin Chun again with different expressions after hearing this.

Zhao Yushi didn't see it, and said to Lin Chun that he was going to Minzhou tomorrow, and he would return half a month later, and then pass through Jingzhou Mansion and pick up wood carvings.

So, Lin Chun made some suggestions, and after agreeing on the size of the wood carving layout with them, he went to Zhanfu and Shenfu to choose wood.

After everyone listened, before they could speak, Huang Li first asked: "Brother Chunsheng, you help them do this and that, how much silver do they give you?" ”

The little girl asked very seriously and was also very concerned.

Lin Chun was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "No silver." ”

Huang Li was surprised: "No silver? You've been making that screen for so many days, and you've put wood upside down; Now I want to make a big wood carving in the middle hall, and it will take half a month to make a piece, and it will be done in vain? Isn't this bullying us countrymen! ”

Lin Dameng couldn't help it, he laughed, and even Ren Sanhe laughed.

The cuckoo pinched his sister's face and said, "You just remember the silver!" People let Lin Chun put his works in the academy and Guozijian, what a great honor it is! Do you think anyone can have such an opportunity? Even if some people are willing to lose money, they don't want to do a bad job! ”

Huang Li was puzzled when he heard this, "Really? Is this a good face? ”

The cuckoo nodded vigorously and said, "Of course there is face!" That's a big face. ”

Talking and laughing at Lin Chun, his face was full of joy, and he was happier than showing his face.

Lin Chun also smiled and said, "It's not for nothing. The head of the academy said that during my study at the academy, the cost of room and board was free, and told him that I had any difficulties. ”

Presumably, the mountain chief thought that his family was very poor, so he said so.

Huang Li was relieved and tirelessly asked about other things.

Lin Dameng looked at his nephew and was very proud.

He praised Huang Yuan like that before, but he felt in his heart: Whether it is Lin Chun or Jiu'er, they are no worse than Huang Yuan.

In the next few days, Lin Chun went to the academy in the morning to listen to the master's lectures, and came back in the afternoon to conceive and prepare for wood carving and make preliminary preparations.

Most of what he had learned before came from cuckoos.

Therefore, every time I listen to new content or different opinions, I will discuss and analyze with Du Juan when I come back, so as to consolidate and apply what I have learned.

In the evening of that day, when the cuckoo saw that he had a question to ask himself, he left work early, and even handed over his own dinner to the innkeeper to make, and called Huang Li to listen, so as to gain some knowledge. (To be continued......)
