During this time, I have been in the kitchen of the Wang family, indulging in peeling potatoes and chopping vegetables every day, on the one hand, to fill the emptiness and depression in my heart, and on the other hand, I also want to take this opportunity to improve myself as much as possible. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, which is a truth that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

No matter what I do, I will do it well, and I will do it seriously, including when I used to clean the toilet, I would also wipe the toilet clean - and then I had a few missions, and I pretended to be a cleaner, and I was also presentable, so that no one would find out about it.

I basically ignore the affairs of the outside world, I know that Feng Qianyue and Hao Yingying must be very worried about me, that day in Longhua Group I told them that they would return safely, but now they have poked a bigger basket, and they have to hide in the kitchen of the Wang family as a small worker, living an almost isolated life.

The kitchen boss was in a good mood today and taught me a lot of things, including the posture of holding the knife, the technique of the knife, speed, angle, strength, etc., which turned out to be required. Even cutting different dishes will have different methods, on the surface it seems smooth and easy, but in fact it is a rather complicated process, and the process of practice is full of boring and boring.

While demonstrating knife skills to me, the kitchen boss also told me the history of the Wang family, saying that the Wang family used to be in charge of the imperial dining room of the imperial court, and that the ancestors had been kitchen knife cooks for generations, and the emperor even rewarded his family with a golden kitchen knife. Later, after making a mistake, they were relegated to their hometown and forbidden to use kitchen knives again. The Wang family, who lost the halo of "imperial food", was inevitably ridiculed and bullied, so they replaced the kitchen knife with a steel knife, and integrated their miraculous knife skills into the steel knife.

The ancestors of the Wang family knew that only their own strength could avoid bullying, so they set up a rule, and the Wang family only used steel knives from now on, and no other knives were used; Including the kitchen, there is no shadow of kitchen knives, and only steel knives are used to peel and cut vegetables.

As for why it is gilded in gold...... Of course, it is also to commemorate the glory of the "golden kitchen knife" in the past.

After listening to the story told to me by the kitchen boss, although I don't know if it's true or not, I still think it's quite interesting, and said with a smile: "The knife technique used by the Wang family now is actually evolved from the kitchen knife?" ”

The kitchen boss affirmed, "Yes! ”

I experimented over and over again according to the techniques taught to me by the kitchen boss, and I also recalled the picture of Wang Gongzi making a knife in my mind, and I felt as if it really meant to cut vegetables. Thinking that the noble young master of the Wang family was actually a cook, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I made up the scene of him wearing a white hat and spooning on the side of the desk, and the high-ranking prince became a sweaty chef.

The kitchen boss asked me strangely what I was laughing at, I quickly stopped laughing, said nothing, and asked, "Brother Wang, how long will it take for me to practice your technique?" ”

The boss said proudly: "Don't think about this, you can't do it in your life." ”

I wondered why?

The boss told me that this thing needs talent, and if you don't have talent, you can't practice it, and that it is enough that I can chop vegetables, and don't think too much.

Although the boss hit me, I still practiced tirelessly, and I didn't expect to be at his level, and it was good to be able to improve my control of weapons. So, as before, I spent most of my time in the kitchen, except for eating and sleeping, chopping and chopping a pile of vegetables day and night.

In a flash, another week passed. I'm getting more and more proficient at chopping vegetables, and I've reached a certain level of control over the golden knife, and I'm getting more and more measured in the angle and strength of the knife, although I'm still far from the level of the kitchen boss, but I feel that I've made a lot of progress.

In the blink of an eye, I have been in the Wang family for half a month, and correspondingly, it is only half a month away from the martial arts competition on the road. Wang Gongzi is actively preparing for the war, and he doesn't have time to come to me again, his three meals a day are specially customized by our kitchen, and he is supplemented with a full range of nutrition, and he can't be negligent at all.

Originally, I was also determined to participate in this tournament, to make a name for myself at the tournament, to make the spiders notice me, to attract some excellent young people to follow me, and so on. But now, with the arrest of me by the Long Jiajun and the black and white wanted for me, everything has become a dream.

You have to ask me if I am sad in my heart, of course I am sad, after working hard for so long, the bamboo basket is empty, who is not sad? But now I can only try my best not to think about those things, and spend my energy and sweat in this small square inch, I don't care about the smell of oil smoke or physical work, I just look forward to the day when I can go out of the mountain again.

After going through a lot of things, my mentality has been very stable, and big ups and downs are also the norm for me, I regard every low point as the grinding of my life, so there is nothing that I can't get over, everything will go naturally.

This morning, as soon as we arrived at the kitchen, the boss gave us a meeting, saying that the people of the Silver Gun Zhou family were coming today, and the head of the family arranged for the kitchen to make a sumptuous luncheon, which was particularly important, so that we all cheered up.

At that time, I was quite surprised, saying that the Zhou family and the Wang family are not old enemies, why do they still come to be guests?

The boss looked at me and said, "You don't understand this, there was a big battle between the two families last time, but Emperor Li said peace, and now the Wang family and the Zhou family have reconciled, and the two sides still move around often." ”

I let out an "oh" to show that I understood, but I couldn't help but think: Although it is better to settle the grievance, but after so many years of fighting, is it so easy to reconcile?

When I was wondering, the boss whispered again: "Of course, reconciliation is only a superficial phenomenon, the two families are still fighting fiercely in private, and now it is just maintaining the surface." Okay, the business of the two families has nothing to do with us, let's just cook our own food. ”

Under the arrangement of the boss, we began to get busy, chopping vegetables, and stewing meat. When he was busy, a man with a thief's eyebrows suddenly entered the kitchen, this man was a new face, we had never seen him, and the kitchen boss immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man puffed out his chest and said, "I'm from the Zhou family!" ”

I was shocked, thinking that the people of the Zhou family would not have seen me, right?

Whether he saw me or not, I kept my head down, just in case. I'm just a vegetable chopping worker, and no one usually notices me. The kitchen boss said: "The people of the Zhou family, why do you come to the kitchen if you have nothing to do?" ”

The man said, "Our eldest young master said that he was afraid that you would poison the food, so he sent me to keep an eye on you!" ”

It turns out that it is Zhou Hao, the eldest young master of the Zhou family, who came over today, so I can't reveal my identity anymore, so my head is lower. The boss became angry and said, "What do you think of me, how could I do such a thing?" ”

"Then who knows, what if you will?"

When they were arguing, the man in charge of chores in the Wang family suddenly came, let's leave him alone, let him stare if he likes to. The man of the Zhou family walked in triumphantly, looked left and right, and walked around the kitchen, everyone was very annoying to him, but no one dared to say anything.

After a while, he came to me, saw me cutting vegetables with a golden knife, and said, "It's really interesting for you to chop vegetables with this thing." ”

I ignored him, still chopping the carrots on the board.

At that time, my skills were already quite good, more skilled than using a kitchen knife, and the man seemed to be very interested, and said, "Hey, I am talking to you, are you dumb?" ”

I still ignore him, just keep my head down and chop vegetables, although I don't know him, but I can't guarantee that he knows me. The man was bored with himself, and went to wander around the other places.

I felt that he was a little weird, not like he was staring at us, so I kept glancing at him.

Soon, I noticed that he had quietly moved to the edge of the small stove. That small stove is Wang Gongzi's special small stove, and he cooks three meals a day on it, and now a pot of bone broth is simmering on it, ready to be drunk by Wang Gongzi in the afternoon.

When the man walked over, he took out a small paper bag from his bosom, looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention to him, and quietly sprinkled a little white powder into the bone broth.

I don't know what he put in it, but it's certainly not a good thing, it turns out that he didn't stare at us for poisoning, but for himself. This Zhou Hao is too bold to dare to do such a thing in the Wang family, I really don't know how the dead word is written?

I wanted to catch the man on the spot, but after thinking about it, I held back and didn't say anything. After the man finished the medicine, he walked around the kitchen for a while before muttering, "It's boring, let's go!" ”

As soon as he was gone, I went to the kitchen boss and told him what had happened.

The kitchen boss was also taken aback, and he also didn't expect the people of the Zhou family to be so bold and dare to poison Wang Gongzi's food. But what exactly is put in it, I don't know yet, the kitchen boss said that he would report it to the head of the Wang family.

He also told me: "You have made a great contribution this time, and the head of the family will definitely reward you well!" ”

I hurriedly said to the kitchen boss, "I don't want any reward, just tell the master of the house that you found it, don't mention me!" ”

The kitchen boss was particularly strange and asked me why?

I said no, I was a timid person, I didn't dare to meet the head of the house, and I didn't want to get into trouble. Then I asked the kitchen boss for leave, saying that I was a little unwell and wanted to go back to the dormitory first. He told him again and again not to mention me to the head of the house, that he could take all the credit for it, and that he would not have to worry about my feelings, and then left the kitchen.

When I returned to the dormitory, my heart couldn't settle down, and after about half an hour, the door was pushed open and the kitchen boss walked in. I immediately stood up and asked him how was he doing? The boss smiled and said, "It's all settled, the people of the Zhou family have been kicked out." It's good to have you this time, otherwise the young master will be in trouble, it is a special poison, and it will not attack until more than ten days later, and the people of the Zhou family just want the young master to withdraw from the martial arts competition! ”

I thought to myself, is it just to get out? It seems that the Wang family is indeed not as powerful as the Zhou family, and after missing the opportunity to kill the other party last time, they can only swallow their anger when they encounter this kind of thing; Or is it that Old Man Wang is forbearing, and there are other arrangements?

I exhaled and said that it was okay, the people of the Zhou family were insidious and cunning, and I still had to let Wang Gongzi be more careful in the future.

"Yes, yes, yes. Also, the head of the house said he wanted to see you. The kitchen boss said again.

What, Old Man Wang said he wanted to see me?!

Listening to the words of the kitchen boss, I was taken aback and immediately said, "Didn't you say don't mention me?" ”

"That's not going to work, I don't dare to hide such a big thing." The kitchen boss smiled and said, "Don't worry, the head of the house is still very kind, he said that he will reward you well this time!" ”

My heart was in a mess, and I was thinking about how to avoid it, when the kitchen boss flashed to the side and said behind me, "Master, please come in!" ”

I looked up in astonishment, only to see the old man Wang with his head tilted, sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed in......
