"New South China Vocational and Technical School."

I looked at the paint sign again, and finally decided that this was the school I had signed up for. The location of the school is in Xicheng District, which is very remote, and almost to the suburbs. I took a long-distance bus to the provincial capital and made two bus transfers to find this place.

I walked to the school gate with my luggage on my back, and along the way, I saw a lot of slogans welcoming new students, and occasionally someone would come up and hand out flyers, pulling me to ask if I wanted to sign up to study technology. I said that I had already registered online, and I came to report today, so they let me go.

The further I went, the more I realized that this school was really shabby. The school buildings and dormitory buildings look old, the playground is still a sandy field, and the cafeteria is just a row of simple iron sheds. Except for the word "new" in the name, there is nothing new about this school. Ma Dan, no wonder the tuition fees here are cheaper than other schools, you get what you pay for!

I found a person who looked like a security guard and asked where the new students registered, and finally completed the registration procedures. The tuition and accommodation fees have been paid online, and after paying some deposits, I have received the dormitory key. My dormitory was on the second floor, and I carried my luggage upstairs to find that the door was still closed. I opened the door and moved things in.

The dormitory is not large, and there are four iron beds with bunk beds, which creak when you shake them. There is only one table, which is shared by eight people, and the bathroom and bathroom are shared, and there is only one room on each floor. The conditions of this dormitory are really different from Han Jie's!

The eight beds were all empty, and it seemed that I was the first to report in this dormitory. If it comes, it will be safe. I'm not that fussy either, so I found a bunk in the back, put my luggage away, and started cleaning. The reason why I didn't choose the lower bunk was mainly because I had too many "little secrets", and I didn't want people to rummage through my things, in case I turned out those porcelain bottles, brocades and talismans, I had to spend a lot of time explaining them.

As for where to find a place suitable for cultivating Yin Gong, let's wait until you are familiar with the situation here. My previous experience of failing in that textile factory taught me that I must not attract too much attention to myself in this kind of group life, otherwise I might get into trouble again.

I cleaned up my bed first, and when I was idle, I simply wiped down the other beds, and roughly wiped the doors and windows of the tables, stools, and windows. I was doing it, and a person came in at the door, also carrying a large bag of luggage. Look at his appearance, he is younger than me, his face is still very immature, and he looks timid.

I greeted him warmly and asked, "You also live in this dormitory?" ”

He nodded shyly and replied, "Yes." ”

"What's your name?"

"Yue Xiang."

"My name is Zhai Zisheng, from Nanting County." I took the initiative to reach over and shake Yue Xiang's hand, and his expression became less nervous.

Yue Xiang is actually from Changdong County, and he is separated from my own family by a town. So, I chatted with him for a while, and the two of us quickly got acquainted. He is only 15 years old this year, three years younger than me, and he just graduated from junior high school this year.

I asked him why he came up with the idea to sign up for this school. Sure enough, he also took a fancy to the cheap tuition here. Yue Xiang's family background is not very good, he came to the provincial capital to go to school by himself when he was young, and there was no one at home to accompany him. While they were chatting, three more people came to the door. This time it was a family of three, and the parents came to see their son off.

As soon as the parents saw me doing hygiene, they were very happy and praised me for being positive and competent. The newcomer's name is Du Haibo, a fat man, a native of the provincial capital. His parents asked him to clean up with me, and he looked reluctant. Yue Xiang was more sensible, put down his luggage, rolled up his sleeves and came to help me. Rural children are more simple, working more and talking less.

Later, there came one after another, all of them were brought by their parents, and before dinner, all eight of us in the dormitory arrived. It's such a small room, and it looks very lively when there are many people. I asked one by one, and everyone else came to learn to cook after graduating from junior high school and not being able to get into high school, or dropping out of high school and not being able to find a decent job. I'm the only one who came here after finishing high school in its entirety. I also went to the other dormitories and found that it was the same. So, before I was nineteen years old, I actually became a big brother in the dormitory.

On the first night of registration, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep. This is also understandable, they are all teenagers, many people are away from home for the first time to live alone in a group, and there will be some freshness when they first get together. The lights out time was over, and the eight of us were still chatting on the bed.

Some people say that they are rising, and even their own relationship history is shared. Don't look at their young age, some of them are no longer virgins, so there was a burst of envy. In this regard, the oldest me, on the contrary, is not as good as them. After chatting all night, the eight of us quickly got together, and we got along fairly well after that.

At the beginning of the school year on September 1st, the main thing was to participate in the opening ceremony, make a show, and listen to the school leaders read a few pages of nonsense. The formal course didn't start until the third day, so I walked around the campus to familiarize myself with the situation.

Although the school cafeteria is a little rotten, the food tastes good. I thought about it later, there is a chef major in this school, and the teachers and students are very tricky, if the food in the cafeteria here is not delicious, those students must not smash his pot?

In much the same way, students can get a haircut without spending money, just ask their beauty and hairdressing majors to help, and they are lacking the opportunity to practice anyway. As for whether the cut looks good or not, of course, the standard can't be too demanding. If you need to fix a small electrical appliance or a bicycle, you can also find someone to help. I think this kind of atmosphere is very good, they are all learning technology and craftsmanship, and they are all communicating with each other.

In the evening, I walked around the campus and took a look. Fortunately, although it is a remote place, at least there is nothing unclean in the school. It is estimated that it is because there are many people and the yang is vigorous, and ordinary ghosts can't stay. This made me breathe a sigh of relief, I don't want to meet a female ghost like Lin Yuxiang again, and cause trouble again for no reason.

In addition, I am also looking for a suitable place to practice Yin Gong at night. It's not possible in the dormitory on the second floor, it has to be able to touch the ground. I searched for a long time before I found a good spot in the corner of the playground next to the basketball court. There is more yin qi here, and there is a railing to sit on. Generally speaking, the best time to practice Yin Gong is when you are a child. But the dormitory building here is going to close at eleven o'clock in the evening, and it is not very convenient to come out to practice in the middle of the night when the yin qi is at its peak, so you can only come here to practice a little earlier. There are also a lot of people in the playground who come out for a walk at night, and the basketball court next to it is lit, and there are people playing basketball at night, so I pretend to be watching others play basketball, and no one should notice my abnormal behavior.

All in all, judging from the observation of the previous two days, although the school is simple, it is not as bad as it looks on the outside, depending on how well it learns.

On the third day, the class officially started, and there was a theoretical class, which briefly introduced the history and development of Chinese cooking, and then did some safety education. In the afternoon, students will start with a hands-on class, starting with the most basic side dishes.

I can't imagine that there are a lot of side dishes that are very particular, and it is not just a combination of different ingredients. The teacher in the class talked in detail about the understanding of ingredients, the selection of materials, the initial processing of raw materials and the technology of side dishes, as well as the role, method and naming of side dishes. This includes the preliminary processing of vegetable raw materials and the preliminary processing of poultry raw materials? , the preliminary processing of aquatic raw materials, the basic method of dry material growth and so on. This theoretical lesson plus hands-on practice, at least I think it is easy to accept, and I am very interested, which is much more interesting than following the master.

On the fourth day, we started our knife class. There is more attention to knife work, which can be roughly divided into straight knife method, flat knife method and oblique knife method. Among them, the straight knife method is subdivided into cutting, chopping, chopping, splitting and other actions, and each action is subdivided. For example, a single "cut" can be divided into jump cutting, push cutting, pulling cutting, sawing, guillotine cutting and rolling cutting, each cutting method has different tricks and uses, which is really meticulous!

Chopping, chopping, and splitting are suitable for ingredients with gradually upgraded toughness and hardness, and it is the key to grasp the strength of the hand. Of course, safety is also an important part, if you accidentally chop your own hands, you can only blame yourself!

In addition, there are auxiliary knife techniques such as shooting, slashing, scraping, picking, etc., and so on. For those of us who are just starting out, we try potatoes, winter melon and carrots, which are just the right amount of softness and cheap. It is said that the strange-shaped slices and shreds left over from our cooking classes will not be wasted like this, and will eventually be sent to the kitchen for reuse. We did an experiment together, each cut some odd ingredients in class, and waited until meal time to go to the cafeteria to observe to see if there were any things in the dishes.

It turned out to be nothing!

We were not reconciled, so we sent people into the kitchen to inquire. Later, I learned that there is such a thing as "waste utilization", but it is only those that are normal in shape and larger pieces, and the master in the canteen will process and clean them before using them to cook. As for the bits and pieces, the odd shapes were simply thrown into the bucket of swill and fed to the pigs. After all, the school canteen is also contracted out, and if you pick the door too much, the business will not be able to continue.
