Chapter Twenty-Nine: Will Happiness Be Far Away?
(Tearfully begging for tickets, see the dividing line for details)

"Chinese cooking has always had the saying of 'seven points of knife work and three points of hot frying', and 'no knife can not be a dish'!" Chen Ke is educating and preaching wealth: "That is, to say that a qualified chef, knife work is the foundation. If you want to be a good chef, you need to be a good knife player! ”
"I want to be the number one chef in the world!" Chuanfu's chubby face was full of red light.
"Then you have to have the best knife worker in the world!" Chen Ke didn't hit him either, and said loudly: "You need to pay the best sweat in the world!" ”
"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Chuanfu said excitedly.
"Okay, let's get started! To practice knife skills, you must first choose a good kitchen knife! Chen Ke didn't fool him, his first job after demobilization was a chef, and he also went to a cooking school, otherwise he wouldn't dare to show up just by stir-frying with his hands: "At this stage, the kitchen knife left by your father is enough for you to use, and you can save this step." ”
"From today on, you will start to practice knife work, and it will take half a year to achieve a small success in knife work." Chen Ke said: "Of course, we have a special situation and can't follow the step-by-step schedule, so we will give you three opportunities to do it quickly every day...... In this way, there will be no delay. ”
Rokuro, who was listening curiously on the side, thought about it for a while, and whispered to Goro: "What does the third brother mean, did you let this fat man wrap up our family's three meals?" ”
On this morning, Cai Chuanfu began to practice air cutting. Chen Ke ordered him to stand in front of the empty pier in a T-shaped step. Hold the knife in your right hand and your fingers in your left hand, and then repeatedly raise the knife and drop the knife. At first, he felt relaxed, but after a long time, his arm became sore, and he wanted to slow down.
Who knew that Chen Sanlang, who was writing in the back room, said loudly as soon as he heard the sound of the knife cutting the board slowing down: "Are you asleep?" I was lazy on the first day, and I still want to be the number one chef in the world?! ”
"Yes......" Cai Chuanfu hurriedly sped up and maintained a steady tuk tuk sound.
After chopping for a whole morning, he was so tired that his back hurt and his legs cramped, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment, not only because Chen Ke could scold, but also because as soon as he was distracted, he cut his fingers......
At noon, Chen Ke shouted to stop, and Cai Chuanfu sat on the ground, unable to lift his right arm.
"Take a break, I'll make lunch." Chen Ke handed him a glass of warm water.
"Master......" trembling and taking a sip of the bamboo cup, Chuanfu raised his head with tears in his eyes: "How do you give me salt water?" "The price of salt in the Great Song Dynasty is high, and ordinary people don't waste salt like this.
"Replenish your stamina, stupid!" Chen Ke scolded in an old-fashioned manner, and began to skillfully wash vegetables and stir-fry vegetables, and finally witnessed the legendary magic skill, Chuanfu's heart beat faster, and his eyes widened, lest he miss a picture.
After lunch, Chen Ke asked him to practice spoon work again. The spoon worker is hard with his left hand and laborless with his right hand, so he has no excuse for being lazy. In the evening, Chuanfu couldn't lift his arms, and the whole person collapsed completely.
This meal had to be made by Chen Ke again, and he was very dissatisfied with it: "As the saying goes: 'Old yin and yang, young cooks.'" "You can't be a cook without physical strength, why are you so poor, from tomorrow, exercise with me!" ”
"Yes, master......" Chuanfu was about to cry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So from the next day, as soon as the hour arrived every day, Chen Ke took Cai Chuanfu and ran three laps around the county first. Back home, Chen Ke came to make breakfast. But he must not be idle, but he has to take an axe to the courtyard to chop wood...... According to his unscrupulous master, this can not only exercise arm strength, but also subsidize the family...... The chopped firewood will be sent to the breakfast shop on Front Street, and you have to earn at least 20 yuan a day to eat, which is called killing two birds with one stone.
After eating, he practiced knife work in the morning, practiced spooning in the afternoon, and at lunch and dinner time, Chen Ke would teach him a few stir-fried dishes in different ways. This lasted for half a month before he began to cut waste paper, first as a piece of paper, then slowly into two sheets of paper, and then into a stack of paper...... Chen Ke did not have the virtue of the ancients to cherish the words and paper, and the paper on which he finished writing the words was cut into shreds.
What is amazing is that Chen Ke has been working hard and can be able to supply Cai Chuanfu with a knife. In one month, he copied five copies of "Guangyun", with a total of 217,886 characters in the full text and annotations, and wrote an average of more than 7,000 words a day...... And it's in big print.
Chen Xiliang saw that his son's homework was not delayed, so he naturally dispelled the idea of letting Cai Chuanfu go. What satisfies him the most is that after a month, San Lang's temperament has become more calm, and he is no longer as impetuous as before. Learning words is to nourish the heart, and the ancients did not deceive me.
The only thing that makes people scratch their heads is that this month, it took 2,000 yuan just to buy paper...... It's almost half a month's salary for his hard work. However, seeing his son's growth, Chen Xiliang felt that everything was worth it.
In the second month, Chuanfu's hands were obviously stronger and more stable, and Chen Ke began to teach him to push and cut, jump cut, upper and lower pieces, all kinds of flower knives, chopping, chopping, chopping, etc...... He also took over the work of stir-frying and cooking, and tried his best to fry every dish.
Time is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, in June, the time for Chuanfu to study with Chen Ke has far exceeded the expected month, but the master did not say a word, he did not say a word, and concentrated on completing his daily homework. Until one day after eating and putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Ke said seemingly casually: "There has been a lot of progress in the past two months, and the fried dishes have been served." ”
"Hehe......" Chuanfu smiled honestly, touched his obviously thin head and said, "Thank you master for the compliment." ”
"You stupid boy......" Chen Xiliang smiled: "San Lang means that you can go back and open your business!" ”
"Ah...... Really, master? "Chuanfu is unbelievable.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Chen Ke said seriously: "It's just that we can't always work for one person and eat for seven, not to mention that my father is going to quit his job at the dock......"
"How can it be seven?" The number of rich people has been counted, and there are only six.
"You can eat so much, of course it's two." Rokuro chuckled.
"Ahem......" Chuanfu smiled and listened to Chen Ke again: "Cooking, you have only learned a little fur, if you are complacent, you will only be a cook in the county town for the rest of your life, you can't even go out of Meishan, let alone go to Bianliang." ”
"Hmm." Chuanfu nodded heavily and said, "I will continue to learn from the master!" ”
"In the future, the business will get better and better, you have to be busy from morning to night, so you don't have to come," Chen Ke said with confidence in Laifu's business: "I will go over when I have time......"
"Master, I've thought about it......" Although the two are ten years apart, in the past two months of getting along, Chuanfu has regarded Chen Ke as a real teacher, and his tone is full of respect from the heart: "In the future, I will cook three meals a day a day, and let the guy bring it to you." ”
"No, no," Chen Xiliang shook his head again and again, "It will affect your business." ”
"I'll let the guy deliver it a little earlier, so as not to delay the business, so that the master can save cooking is secondary," Chuanfu said earnestly: "The key is that the master and uncle are growing up, so they should eat better." ”
"......" As soon as he said this, Chen Xiliang was a little tempted and said, "Then, let them eat at your place!" Naturally, you can't eat white food, how much should it be, how much should it be! ”
"If my master says this, then I will be an outsider." Chuanfu insisted: "The master will teach me the skills of stir-frying, and my children and grandchildren and I will be of infinite use, how much does this cost?" If I still manage the master's food money, will I have a conscience at all! ”
"You just started, you still have to save ......" Chen Xiliang felt that Chen Ke was really accurate, and if he accepted such an apprentice, he would not have to worry about eating for the rest of his life.
"No matter how you save, it's not bad for a bite of food from the master's family." Chuanfu said honestly: "A little shaking on the spoon is enough for you to eat." ”
"I didn't see it before...... Rokuro glared at the big eyes and said, "Brother Chuanfu is so treacherous!" ”
"Let's play." Chen Ke patted Liulang's cheeks and said to Chuanfu: "The opening will be as I said, the first day is free, then half price for the first ten days, seven percent off for twenty days, and one month later, don't move when you adjust to eight percent off." ”
"Why don't you just set it lower?" Chuanfu scratched his head.
"Stupid," Chen Ke scolded: "A dish, although you sell it for eight yuan and set ten yuan for eight discounts, the price is the same, but the perception of the guests is completely different...... Do you think that when a guest sees a recipe with eight dollars or a dish with ten dollars, which one is better? ”
"Ten cents, of course."
"Yes, he will feel that this dish is more valuable, and when it is discounted, it will be as if it is worth the money and has been earned." Chen Ke smiled: "If you don't consciously order a few more expensive dishes." ”
"The master is so cunning." Chuanfu suddenly said: "Oh no, the master is really wise. ”
"It's not cunning, it's just a normal business practice." Chen Ke said: "You remember that honest management can last for a long time, but you must also figure out the psychology of customers and operate with your heart, so that you can make more money." ”
"Not bad." Chen Xiliang listened to it and praised it very much: "The art of war is cloudy, and it is the truth that it is right and victorious." ”
"Let's remember." Chuanfu nodded seriously. Because there was still an old lady at home, he talked for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
The father and son sent him out, and when he returned to the house, Chen Ke asked, "Dad, why did you suddenly change your livelihood?" He also heard Chen Xiliang say that he was not going to work at the dock.
"Am I just going to push a cart?" Chen Xiliang laughed and said, "You kid, you look down on Lao Tzu too much!" Only then did he explain his whereabouts: "I will collect the summer grain immediately, and the county hires an accountant who can write and calculate, I went to the county government to take the exam a while ago, and I have been hired!" ”
"Yes, that's a great event!" Erlang and Saburo cheered together: "Daddy can really hold it back, I didn't say it until now!" ”
