Chapter 23 Apprenticeship

When Lin Miao heard Fan Erye say this, she stopped what she was doing, "Why isn't it a good thing?" Second Master Fan shook his head, "Xia Fangcun, this person, with a small belly and chicken intestines, will be repaid, if you let him not get off the stage in front of everyone today, he will definitely hold a grudge." ”

Lin Miao looked at Fan Er Ye steadily, until he was horrified, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"You know everything, so you're only saying it now?" It's all over the competition, and you've won it, what's the use of you putting these afterthoughts.

Fan Erye looked at her like that, and smiled, "Scared?" ”

Lin Miao thought for a while and continued to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, "Don't be afraid, I have nothing anyway." It's a big deal, it's going to kill me. After speaking, Chong Fan Er Ye smiled slightly.

Second Master Fan was silent, this little girl is only ten years old, and she is so steady, beyond what she should have at her age. I have no children or daughters under my knees, and I am getting older and older, so I may return to the West one day. And he still has a wish in his heart, if he accepts her as an apprentice, maybe he can count on her to help him after a hundred years.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Miao waved his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "Grandpa Fan, what's wrong with you?" I've called you several times, and you haven't heard me. I don't think I'll lose and think about it. I said before, if I win, you will tell me about your cooking skills with Xia Fangcun, now you don't want to break your word and get fat, right? ”

Fan Erye laughed, "How can it be, am I that kind of person." It seems that you don't know you too well Grandpa Fan and me. Second Master Fan looked at the dishes and plates that Lin Miao was holding in his hand, turned his head to his chores and said, "Quick!" went to wash the dishes, Lin Miao was busy for a long time, and she was very tired. You little bunnies, why don't you have any eyesight? ”

The miscellaneous young man hurriedly ran over, took all the dishes and plates in Lin Miao's hand, and praised Lin Miao by the way, "You are so good, even Chef Xia has won." Lin Miao also smiled at him, watching him turn around and run into the kitchen.

"Come, come with me and sit in the courtyard." Fan Erye pointed to a row of willows in front of the kitchen. Under the willow tree there is a simple bench made of tree trunks. At this time, it was early autumn, and the willow leaves on the willow trees had turned dark yellow, and when the wind blew, the leaves turned a somersault, like butterflies flying down, landing on the path, laying a yellow carpet on the path. There were also a few such yellow "butterflies" on the bench. Lin Miao and Fan Er Ye slowly walked towards the bench, and when they were about to arrive, Lin Miao stepped forward, swept the leaves off the bench, and then leaned over to blow the dust on it, and then turned around and looked at Fan Er Ye with a smile, "Grandpa Fan, you sit." ”

Second Master Fan smiled loudly and sat on the bench with a dignified manner. Seeing Lin Miao standing aside, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and motioned to her, "You can sit too." ”

Lin Miao shook his head, "How can I be on an equal footing with Grandpa Fan, besides, men and women can't kiss, and I can't sit on a bench with you." After speaking, he looked left and right, took a flat stone from the side, and sat upright.

Fan Erye blamed "People are small and big, you are still a little girl, where are there so many rules." You think you are the eldest lady of Gong Chen's mansion, and you are so exquisite. Lin Miao didn't care, and asked with a grin, "Grandpa Fan, tell me quickly, you used to compare your cooking skills with Xia Fangcun, what is going on?" ”

Fan Erye waved his hand and took out a cyan brocade bag from his arms, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns with dark silk threads. Lin Miao's eyes were sharp, and he saw that this bag was good at a glance, and asked casually, "Grandpa Fan, your bag is very beautiful, where did it come from?" ”

Second Master Fan glared at her, slowly opened the bag, took out a pinch of tea leaves from it, carefully selected a few, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He also packed the bag and put it back in his arms.

Lin Miao continued to ask curiously, "Grandpa Fan, what are you?" ”

"Chewing on tea leaves, I've been used to it for years." The corners of Fan Erye's mouth squirmed, his eyes squinted slightly, and the muscles and blood vessels in his temples also moved one by one as he chewed the tea leaves.

"It's addictive, isn't it? Why not just smoke? "In Lin Miao's previous life, I saw some people chew tea when they quit smoking.

Fan Erye shook his head, "As a cook, smoking will destroy the sense of taste, and you won't be able to taste the taste of food after a long time." It is better to chew tea, which can not only resist tobacco addiction, but also get rid of bad breath. After saying that, he couldn't help but smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Seeing Lin Miao swallow her saliva, Fan Er Ye teased her, "Do you want to chew it too?" ”

Lin Miao shook his head, "Grandpa Fan, you haven't talked about the matter between you and Xia Fangcun." ”

Second Master Fan put away his expression and nodded heavily and slowly, "Yes, I haven't talked about the cooking competition between me and Xia Fangcun." Before I get there, though, I'd like to ask you a question. ”

"What's the problem?"

"How do you know that Xia Fangcun's specialty dish is braised pork, and how do you know that beef noodles will definitely win his braised pork."

"Grandpa Fan, you have two questions."

Fan Erye pretended to be angry and his face sank, "This kid, why are you so careful, say it quickly." ”

"Hehe" Lin Miao got up with a smile, moved the stone under his buttocks to Fan Erye's side, and then sat down on the stone again, leaned forward, and whispered to Fan Erye, "Xia Fangcun is such a conceited person, competing with a child, in fact, he is more afraid of losing, so he will definitely show his housekeeping skills." Therefore, braised pork must be his specialty. ”

Fan Erye nodded, and then asked, "Then why did you decide to make beef noodles?" ”

"Because, the person who wants to taste is the guy who delivers the ingredients. They set off from the eastern suburbs to deliver ingredients to Chen Gongfu, which was quite a long way in between. Therefore, they will leave very early in the morning, and they will not eat too well and too full for breakfast. After all the hard work, when they arrived at the house, they must be thirsty and hungry, so the food they want to eat and will find delicious must be both thirsty and hungry. And Chef Xia's braised pork obviously did not meet this condition. ”

Second Master Fan nodded while listening, yes, the son can be taught. At a young age, you can understand the truth that food needs to be at the right time, for the stomach, and for the body. He cleared his throat and asked Lin Miao solemnly, "Little girl, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

When Lin Miao heard this, he nodded busily, "Of course I do, I've been begging Grandpa Fan to teach me how to cook." Moreover, we said okay, if my sand noodles are approved by the eldest young master, you will teach me how to cook, and you will give me an ancestral recipe. ”

Second Master Fan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't break my word." However, since you want to apprentice, should there be an apprenticeship ceremony? ”

As soon as Lin Miao heard this, he knew that Fan Erye sincerely wanted to accept her as an apprentice, so he hurriedly stood up from the stone, shook the sleeves of his shirt, and said with a stern expression, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice Lin Miao's worship." After saying that, he leaned down and knelt on the ground, knocking his head three times. Second Master Fan laughed happily, "Okay, okay, hurry up." ”

Lin Miao kowtowed but didn't get up, busy looking for things on his body.

"What are you looking for?" Second Master Fan looked at Lin Miao in confusion as he rummaged through his body.

"Find an apprenticeship for Master." Lin Miao flipped left and right, but he didn't find anything valuable on his body. In the end, she patted her head, took off the ebony token around her neck, and handed it to Fan Er Ye with both hands, "Master, there is nothing valuable on the apprentice, only this token was left to me by my mother, and now I will give it to Master as an apprenticeship gift, please accept it." ”

Fan Erye nodded with emotion and took the token with both hands. He looked at the token carefully, and suddenly, his face changed. Lin Miao also saw that Fan Erye's expression was wrong, and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Fan Erye realized that he had lost his temper, so he hurriedly adjusted his expression and covered up, "It's nothing, it's nothing." By the way, for the teacher's meeting gift"

"Master has already promised the apprentice to give him an ancestral recipe."

"You damn girl!"
