Chapter 134: Gifted
"Thank you, Qianchen!" Bai Linxia kept serving him vegetables.
Previously, she was used to doing everything by herself, but after discovering Shen Qianchen's ability, Bai Linxia felt that it was good to be lazy once in a while.
In the next month, Bai Linxia focused all her energy on other places, and everything she didn't have time to do was handed over to Shen Qianchen to deal with, and he was willing to do it......
Bai Linxia's five apprentices are very diligent, although they are not very old, they are all very good at doing things.
Among them was a boy named Wu Chengwen, who was very talented in cooking, and he knew some of the ingredients as soon as he tasted them.
Before, Bai Linxia asked them to try to make a cold dish by themselves.
She doesn't ask a few children to make a delicious cold dish, she just wants to test their learning.
Who would have thought that after Wu Chengwen tasted the seasoning she put aside, he immediately guessed the ingredients inside.
After Wu Chengwen tried out the ingredients inside, he directly found a way to make an identical one, and then took it over to Bai Linxia to taste it in person.
"You made it yourself?" After Bai Linxia tried the taste of the seasoning, his eyes were full of surprise.
The seasoning is carefully blended by her, and few people can make the same ingredients as her.
Who would have thought that not long after Wu Chengwen came, he would be able to make an ingredient with a similar taste.
However, he is still young and has not experienced these before, so a special seasoning is missing in the ingredients.
She added a little cumin powder to the seasoning she configured, but Wu Chengwen didn't add it.
"Well, I tasted it, and then I tried to make it!" Wu Chengwen blushed a little embarrassed.
"You're amazing!" Bai Linxia had never seen such a talented boy.
Recently, Bai Linxia wants them to lay a good foundation and slowly learn to cook.
Who would have thought that Wu Chengwen's sense of taste was so sensitive.
"Thank you, Master!" He lowered his head and looked at a loss.
Suddenly praised by Bai Linxia, he was both excited and felt that he didn't know what to do.
"Chengwen, Master hopes you can promise me one thing!" Bai Linxia looked at him with a serious face and said.
"You say!" He learned a lot from Bai Linxia, so he respected her very much.
No matter what Bai Linxia asked him to do, he would not refuse.
"I hope you don't talk about it, especially the recipe for the ingredients, it must not be spread!" Bai Linxia was very happy, he was so talented.
However, the formula is related to the business of the shop, and Bai Linxia has always been very careful to keep the formula in his own hands.
She didn't expect to say that Wu Chengwen would be able to match it once he tasted it, fortunately he was not her opponent, but her apprentice, otherwise someone with such a keen sense of taste and smell would be a big blow to her and the shop if he stood on the opposite side of her.
"Don't worry, Master, I know what to do!" Wu Chengwen agreed to her request.
After all, he knew exactly how important the recipe was to a shop.
At night, Bai Linxia specially mentioned his matter to Shen Qianchen.
"Wu Chengwen is indeed a genius, his sense of taste is very good, if you can stay in the shop all the time, you will definitely be able to become your good helper in the future!" Shen Qianchen's eyes flashed.
He thought that Bai Linxia accepted apprentices this time in order to recruit apprentices and be able to share the burden for her in the future, but he didn't expect to inadvertently dig up a talented child.
"I want to find out about his family background!" In fact, when Bai Linxia took them as apprentices, he sent someone to investigate.
However, at that time, Bai Linxia only wanted to know if they were undercover agents sent by their opponents.
Now, she wanted to focus on cultivating Wu Chengwen, so she moved the idea of checking his family's details.
Although Bai Linxia cherishes his talents, he doesn't want to meet white-eyed wolves again.
"I'll investigate this matter!" Shen Qianchen understood her thoughts, so she took the initiative to take over the matter.
"Good!" Bai Linxia kissed his handsome face, his eyes darkened, and he instantly hugged her slender waist and untied her belt.
The next day, Shen Qianchen sent his own people to investigate Wu Chengwen's family history and found that his parents ran a grocery store in Yangzhou City.
However, the shop is very small, and the money earned every month can barely support the family.
His father and mother had no choice, so when they heard that Bai Linxia was going to accept apprentices, they immediately moved their minds and sent Wu Chengwen over.
Since Wu Chengwen went to Bai Linxia's shop, his family has saved his expenses, and his life has been much easier.
Wu Chengwen's family background is very simple, so Shen Qianchen's people quickly found out.
After Bai Linxia learned that his family was not wealthy, he had the intention of leaving him behind.
Such a gifted child is the best candidate for an apprentice for Bai Linxia.
So, she directly found Wu Chengwen and called him to the private room alone.
"Chengwen, Master wants you to stay in my shop in the future, are you willing?" Bai Linxia is used to respecting other people's intentions, even if the other party is just a child.
She was still going to ask him what he meant before thinking about anything else.
"Of course I do!" After Wu Chengwen listened to her words, his eyes were overflowing with joy.
He was very happy to be able to stay in the shop and continue to learn things from Bai Linxia.
After this period of contact, Wu Chengwen admired her.
He felt as if nothing could stump Bai Linxia, no matter what happened, she could not be surprised and calm the turmoil as quickly as possible.
"You go home and discuss it with your parents, if they agree, I will go directly to them to discuss your affairs in the shop!" After Bai Linxia heard his affirmative reply, the corners of his mouth raised a trace of arc.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the opportunity!" In fact, since he entered the shop, Wu Chengwen wanted to stay here.
Even though he had to practice hard every day, Bai Linxia gave them the task, he felt very happy and satisfied.
After Bai Linxia told him, she didn't take this matter to heart, because she felt that this matter was safe and there would be no twists and turns.
As a result, a few days later, Wu Chengwen's parents suddenly came over.
"Mrs. Shen, can I say a few words to you?" Wu Chengwen's father looked at her expressionlessly and said.
"Yes!" Bai Linxia took them to the backyard.
At the beginning, in order to make it easier to find someone to clean vegetables and some things, when Bai Linxia bought a shop, he deliberately chose a shop with a backyard.
"I have discussed with the child's father, the business of our grocery store is too bad, continue to stay here, and when Wen'er grows up, we won't even have the money to marry his daughter-in-law!" He was in a hurry, and as soon as she sat down, she said the purpose of her coming.
"So you're trying to take him away?" Bai Linxia's eyes froze.
Wu Chengwen hasn't given her news in the past few days, she thought it was his father and mother who agreed, but they suddenly came over and said that they were going to take people away......
"That's right, we plan to move to other places to do business, and from tomorrow, Wen'er won't be coming here!" Wu Chengwen's mother's face is a little mean, and she doesn't look like a good person.
There are many people like her, and Bai Linxia didn't believe what she just said.
"What you said just now, what did Wu Chengwen mean?" Bai Linxia said with a cold face.
"I'm his father, so naturally we're in charge of this!" His father seemed shrewd and sophisticated, and he spoke without a drop of water.
"As Wu Chengwen's master, I want to hear him personally and tell me about dropping out!" He didn't come to the shop this morning, Bai Linxia thought he was not feeling well, and he was trying to find someone to ask.
Who knows, his father and mother came to him, and he was going to drop out of school.
Bai Linxia held a primary school for the first time, the purpose of which was to cultivate some serious and hard-working children to do things for the shop in the future, and at the same time let them learn more things.
"He is my son, and I can call the shots about his affairs!" Wu Chengwen's father said strongly.
"At the beginning, when you brought him over to participate in the assessment, I said that they have learned the ability and must do things for the shop!" Bai Linxia originally didn't want to embarrass them, but just wanted to see Wu Chengwen again.
As a result, they pushed back and forth, and the more Bai Linxia thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he was not ready to let go.
"Don't deceive people too much, you did say that at the beginning, but my family Wen'er, I haven't been with you for a long time, and I haven't learned anything, we take him away now, and we don't need to fulfill our previous promise at all!"
Father Wu is a businessman, and he is more difficult to talk and do than ordinary people.
"In that case, then you should pay the tuition first, after all, I have taught him for more than a month!" Bai Linxia deliberately made things difficult.
During this time, Wu Chengwen ate and lived here in Bai Linxia, and now that she opened her mouth to ask for silver, the couple was shocked, but they couldn't refute it.
After all, if a child wants to enter the school, he has to be bound.
Although Bai Linxia said at the beginning that there is no need for the children to give silver, and they also provide food and accommodation.
However, there are conditions for her to do this, and the parents of those children feel that Bai Linxia's conditions are acceptable, so they agree very happily.
Wu Chengwen's parents also promised Bai Linxia before, otherwise he would not have been left behind.
"How much silver do you want?" Wu's father's face changed greatly, but he didn't have a seizure in public, who let her take care of it.
"For more than a month, I handed him a lot of things, and they ate the same as me, and you have seen the place where they live, so give him five taels of silver!" Bai Linxia needed time to investigate this matter, so he deliberately said a lot of money.
Five taels of silver is not impossible for the Wu family, but according to her observations, Wu's father and Wu's mother are not generous people.
They should be reluctant to pay five taels of silver.
"Okay, let's go home now and get some money!" Father Wu took his daughter-in-law directly and left.
Bai Linxia looked at the backs of them leaving, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.
They tried their best to take Wu Chengwen away desperately, what was it for?
Wu Chengwen has been staying with her well, they suddenly have to move, everything is too sudden, Bai Linxia always feels a little unreasonable.
As far as she knew, Wu Wencheng's family were all from Yangzhou, and unless something big happened, it was impossible for them to move their family away......
"Wu Chengwen is leaving!" At noon, when Bai Linxia was eating with Shen Qianchen, she mentioned the incident in a bad mood.
"Why?" Shen Qianchen frowned.
He stayed well in the primary school run by Bai Linxia, why did he suddenly want to leave, Shen Qianchen couldn't figure it out!
