"Oops!" Xia Shang panicked, and hurriedly went to support the, "I, I...... I haven't said I'm going to accept you yet, what are you kowtowing?! ”

Xu Niangzi got up and said disapprerovingly: "I don't care, anyway, I have already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and you will be my master in the future." ”

"Hey! You come less! How can you forcibly apprentice to a teacher in the world? Xia Shang glared at the bull's eye, and said in his heart that the were changing too fast, right? How can you see such a side?

retorted again: "How can there be a chef in the world who is as young as you but so superb?" So you can't do it in the usual way. ”

"You're using strong words, I don't plan to accept apprentices! No matter what you say, I won't admit it. ”

"Little Master, no matter what, I am also the head chef of Yunshui Pavilion, you will not lose face when you are your apprentice, and as long as you are willing to recognize me, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to Master in the future."

Xia Shang pursed his lips disdainfully: "Cut, master, I regard money as dung, and I want to buy it with gold and silver, so I advise you to die of this heart!" ”

"The little master doesn't know that the apprentice has saved the lives of the young owner of Lichun Courtyard. Originally, the apprentice wanted to go back and let the top Oiran and others perform for the little master...... Ay! Since the little master has such a resolute attitude, then ......"

"Wait!" Xia Shanghu raised his hand to stop, "Ahem...... For the sake of the teacher, for the sake of your sincerity, I will accept you as a beginner. ”

"Thank you, Master!" The was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought a glass of water, "Master, let's use this water to drink instead of tea for the time being!" ”

Xia Shang rubbed his nose, did he feel that he was too unprincipled? But when I thought of the relationship between this apprentice and Lichun Yuan, I suddenly found that was a malleable talent.

So Xia Shang took the water cup and took a sip, so the apprenticeship ceremony was complete.

The gave Xia Shangxing a big gift again, and this time Xia Shanghan completely endured it.

It's not a bad thing to accept apprentices, and apprentices like are indeed worthy of themselves. What Xia Shang felt awkward about was nothing more than accepting an apprentice who was much older than himself, and he was also a woman.

"Little Master, now that Xu Yuan is already your disciple, you can call the apprentice by his name in the future. Also, what are the rules under Master? ”

"Rules? Not really. Xia Shang was still a little entangled, scratching his head and finding a stool to sit down, "Why did you suddenly ...... Ay! I didn't prepare at all, according to the rules of my master, I should give you a meeting gift. ”

"That's easy to say! Just tell the apprentice how to make the cherry meat. ”

"Well...... this"

Xu Yuan looked nervous, her phoenix eyes flashed and she was full of anticipation: "What?" Isn't it possible? ”

"Of course you can, but remember this greeting first."

"That's great! Master, can you talk about the cherry meat first? ”

Xia Shang nodded and said, "I have tasted your works and know what your problem is." Don't you know how to boil brown sugar? It's clear that it's reached its limit, and a little more heat will burn it, but it has never been able to reach the point where sugar and meat blend? ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he said in his heart that this master was really right, and he said all the confusion in his heart in one sentence.

The chef's persistence is sometimes not a good thing, because Xu Yuan can't figure out how to boil brown sugar, so she can't sleep at night, so she has to lower her posture to ask for advice. If it weren't for this dedication, nothing would have happened today.

Now that the riddle was finally solved, Xu Yuan fantasized that the little master must have used terrible means to boil the brown sugar to the best moment.

The result was unexpected, and it took a long time to choose the wrong material!

The red sugar water on the cherry flesh was believed by everyone to be made from brown sugar, but it turned out not at all! That layer of sugar is made from a mixture of rock sugar and soy sauce, and as long as the ratio is right, and a little rapeseed oil is added to enhance the color, it can show a color like brown sugar.

Compared with brown sugar, rock sugar can withstand higher temperatures, and the boiled sugar water is thicker and more viscous, not as thin as brown sugar water.

It is estimated that the chefs in Chang'an are now using brown sugar to study desperately, and even if they want to break their heads, they can't think of the real secret of this cherry meat.

Xu Yuan listened to Xia Shang's explanation, it was like an initiation, his entire scalp was numb, and he waved his hand fiercely: "I see!" I see! No wonder you can't crack it no matter how you verify it! Rock candy! It turns out that everything is rock candy! Little Master, I'm ...... I'm going to go back and try it! ”

After speaking, Xu Yuan was about to go out, and Xia Shangla didn't have time to see her rushing into the rain.

"Hey! You're back! It's still raining! ”

In the rain, Xu Yuan's figure became smaller and smaller, and she could faintly see her waving her hand, she seemed to be saying something, but she didn't hear a word in the rain.

……

Suzaku Street, near the location of Myeongdeokmon, has a side street called Boryeong. In the middle of the street is the palace of the king of Qi, the residence of Li You.

Outside the corner tower in the back garden of the Qi Palace, a rain-soaked hat was being blown and rolled all over the ground by the gradually stronger wind.

In the corner tower, there was a faint sound of conversation.

"Your Royal Highness, the Saijia chef is by no means very human, he has only seen it with his own eyes below, this person can use a dagger to cut a piece of tofu into a chrysanthemum, the exquisite knife work has long exceeded the scope of the cook, linked to the ice cubes in the banquet that day, this person's kung fu is unfathomable, Your Highness must not be an enemy of it!"

"Shhh...... What just happened? What makes you so timid? In this way, the Saijia chef is really a little weird? ”

"What's weird?"

"And do you think it's possible to take it for yourself?"

"Take it for yourself? But the subordinates think that such a powerful person wants to be taken under his command, and he is afraid that it will be ......"

"This king has investigated, this person is an orphan on Scum Street in the north of the city, and he has been stealing for a living since he was a child."

"Huh? How can it be?! ”

"The king knows it's impossible, so there's something strange about it. I also know that this person has a brother on the scum street, and the two have been dependent on each other since childhood, and I guess I can get some news from this mouth. No matter how bad it is, bringing this person over may make the Saijia feel a little close to us. ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do it."

Soon, outside the corner tower, the hat fluttering in the rain was picked up and returned to its original position.

On the roof of the Qi Palace, a figure continued to rise and fall, gradually disappearing into the rain.
