817 Imperial Chef cherishes talents
"Master, this is a dish from over there, would you like to try it?" The butler asked, holding the food box.
The imperial chef shook his head, and was about to refuse, but was attracted by the fragrance coming from the food box: "You take a pair of dishes and chopsticks and let me try it." ”
After tasting a few bites, the imperial chef looked at the dish in front of him in disbelief and asked, "Is this really made by an old lady, not the chef of a big restaurant in Beijing?"
When he asked, he felt that his words were redundant, and if the cook in the capital was a little capable, which one of them had never come to ask him for advice?
If he really had such a talent, he would have been accepted as his closed disciple a long time ago.
"It really was an old lady who did it." The butler said, "When the little one goes over there, the last dish comes out of the pot." ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity." The imperial chef sighed twice, pity.
The housekeeper looked at his master in surprise, wondering why his master was so lost.
"If this old lady came to the capital when she was young, with her talent, there should be many people who are willing to accept her as an apprentice. But now, people are already old, haven't they wasted a good seedling in vain? It's not a pity, what's there to pity?" The Imperial Chef sighed.
Only then did the housekeeper understand what the imperial chef meant, and originally thought that the imperial chef would refuse, after all, he was also old. To be honest, I don't have any extra energy to take in another apprentice to cultivate.
The family also hopes that the imperial chef can live in his old age and not do something tiring and hurtful. The reason why I promised Su Yiqing before was just to buy Su Ge's old face.
I guess this old man will also refuse.
"That's it, you can run for me again, and ask the old lady who wants to learn to cook, pick a time for herself, and come to our house every day." The imperial chef was silent for a long time and finally decided, although he was old, the old woman who was going to learn to cook was also a lot older.
But this does not mean that their hearts are also getting old, from this old lady he saw the shadow of his youth, because of her persistence, decided to make an exception to help her.
The butler thought that his ears were hallucinating, and confirmed again in disbelief: "Master, do you really want to teach that old lady?"
The imperial chef nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know what you want to say, but I'm not old enough to move, and I can break bones if I move." I'm not a wasted person, I can decide this for myself, right?"
The old man said such heavy words, the housekeeper naturally didn't dare to persuade again, so he had to go to Wuwei Restaurant in person and tell the owner of Wuwei Restaurant the good news.
In fact, Shen Wangxin is still very confident in Aunt Shen's cooking skills, she doesn't dare to say that she has eaten all the delicacies in the world, down to folk dishes, to court banquets, she has tasted them one by one.
Aunt Shen's dishes have a special charm, and she can't say the specifics, but as long as she eats them, she will have a slow sense of happiness.
This is not just her opinion, many people who have eaten Aunt Shen's dishes have said so.
Therefore, she was not very surprised when she learned the news, thanked the housekeeper, and hurried to the back kitchen to find the anxious Aunt Shen.
"That imperial chef agrees to accept you as a closed disciple, and let you pick a time to go to his mansion every day to learn the craft from him!" Shen Wangxin said to Aunt Shen with a smile.
Suddenly, she had a feeling that her children were very promising, and her parents were happy.
But Aunt Shen is not her child, but the first person to give her warmth after she came to this world.
Aunt Shen made a noble hand, and Shen Wangxin was happier than anyone else.
"Did the chef really agree?" Aunt Shen asked in surprise, and after receiving Shen Wangxin's affirmative answer, she immediately clasped her hands together and muttered in her mouth, "Thank you for the blessing of the birthday star, thank you for the blessing of the birthday star!" It's a pity that we are far away in the capital now, and I don't know when we can go back to Xitou Village and make a wish in front of the statue of the birthday god! ”
Shen Wangxin said: "If you are in a hurry to repay your vows, where can you not find the god position of the birthday star?" Another day, I will go to the temple to ask the statue of Shou Xinggong to be placed in our medical hall, so that you can incense every day. ”
Aunt Shen is upright: "If you don't talk about this, I forgot that I can still do this." The birthday star has blessed us so many times, we should invite a god to come over and serve his old man well! ”
Shen Wangxin wanted to say to Aunt Shen that the previous things may have been blessed by the birthday star, but this time it was definitely because of Aunt Shen's own ability that she won the favor of the imperial chef.
However, Aunt Shen was willing to think so, and Shen Wangxin didn't deliberately say anything, so she handed over the matter to Aunt Shen to deal with herself.
From the next day, Aunt Shen went to the imperial chef's house every afternoon to learn the craft of cooking.
After learning every day, Aunt Shen can immediately apply what she has learned, and the people in the entire Qin Wangfu can see her rapid progress.
For a while, Aunt Shen was full of praise for her master, and the number of times she mentioned that imperial chef every day couldn't be counted on the fingers of both hands.
Shen Wangxin found that Li Zheng seemed to be more depressed these days, but he didn't speak, so Shen Wangxin pretended not to know. If Li Zheng didn't figure it out himself, then no matter how much he tried to speak, he wouldn't wake up.
This time, Li Zheng should have been alarmed, right?
