Chapter 132: Accepting Disciples

Bai Linxia was ready to wait until he was eighteen years old before having a child.

She and Shen Qianchen have reached a consensus on this point.

After the notice was posted, it quickly had an effect.

Bai Linxia promised on the notice that the children who have succeeded in their studies in the future will stay in her shop to do things.

Such attractive conditions have attracted many people from poor families.

They don't want their children to farm at home all their lives.

The food in Bai Linxia's shop is different from other places, it is completely unique, and it is even more attractive to those people.

If you learn how to cook, you will not only be able to work in Bai Linxia's shop, but also master some food recipes that others don't know.

Even if she has to leave her shop in the future, she will still be able to find a job.

Such a good thing, many people have come with their own children.

If they can be selected by Bai Linxia, it means that their children's future has something to look forward to.

The children of peasant families, except for taking the road of the imperial examination, can only stay at home and farm, and the family is busy and can only barely fill their stomachs, and if they encounter a famine year, they will starve to death at any time.

The Zhuang family is watching the sky to eat, and this kind of precarious day is like a knife hanging over their heads, and they have no ability to change it.

After those people saw the notice, the threshold of Bai Linxia's house was about to be broken.

"Everyone, be quiet, I know that you all want to send your own children in, but I have limited energy now, and I can't teach so many children, I will choose a few smart ones among these children to teach them...... "Bai Linxia is not for everyone.

To be a chef still has to be a little talented, and she will never want a child who is too difficult to teach, otherwise it will only waste everyone's time.

In order to find out the talents of these children, Bai Linxia deliberately took an exam.

In this way, she wants to screen some bright children for later evaluation.

The parents of those children changed their faces instantly when they learned that she was going to be assessed.

"Our family is poor, and our children have never gone to private school, which is so unfair to us!" As soon as this remark came out, many people echoed it.

After all, it is not easy to fill your stomach these days, how can you have extra money to send your children to school.

What's more, if there are many boys in the family, the burden is even heavier, and they work hard and can only barely support their children.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to let them write!" In fact, when Bai Linxia ordered people to post notices, he had already thought of this problem.

Most of the children in the countryside are illiterate.

However, Bai Linxia has to test their adaptability and their reaction to unexpected things.

These are the most natural and real reactions of children, and they will never be faked.

When they heard Bai Linxia say that they couldn't test their children's handwriting, they were all relieved.

Bai Linxia let his people test and test those children separately.

After this round of tests, there were many children who did not meet her requirements, and Bai Linxia directly let them go back.

Subsequently, the children who entered the next round of assessment, Bai Linxia did not continue to test them, but let them go back to rest.

After they all left, Bai Linxia asked his people, based on their names, to order someone to investigate their identities and backgrounds.

This time, she didn't hide it from anyone, but found so many children to come over in a high-profile manner.

Bai Linxia was worried that those opponents in her business would secretly send people to deliberately infiltrate and sabotage her plan.

In the business field, she will have her own interests, and some people can do anything, so she has to guard against it.

Shen Qianchen's mind is similar to her, and he has helped her a lot.

After investigating the backgrounds of those children and confirming that they had no problems, Bai Linxia went through other tests again, and never picked the most suitable candidate.

This time, Bai Linxia did not limit men and women, so girls could also be selected.

After all, she thinks differently from those people, and she thinks boys and girls are the same.

What a man can do, a woman may not be able to.

However, the people of the Great Qi Dynasty are patriarchal, and women have almost no status.

So, all the children she left behind were boys.

For them, girls are money-losers, and sooner or later they will be someone else's family after they are raised.

Once a woman gets married, she will be given her husband's surname, and from then on, she can only be a guest when she returns to her parents' home, and her status is very low.

Bai Linxia had no other way to do this than to strangle him, after all, the boy was more important to the Zhuang family......

After layers of tests, Bai Linxia finally left five children, including a girl.

Originally, there were no girls, but a guy who made groceries in Bai Linxia's shop had a seven-year-old sister at home.

The father of the family died, and the two brothers and sisters were raised by their mother.

His mother had a good hand in embroidery, and in order to raise two children, she had eye problems early.

In order to support his mother and sister, he voluntarily sold himself to other people, intending to go to the landlord's house to work as a small servant.

As a result, he was lucky to meet Bai Linxia and entered his shop as a buddy.

Originally, his mother wanted to sell his sister, after all, her son was the pillar of the family, but he didn't agree.

He felt that as a man, he should protect his relatives.

After entering Bai Linxia's shop to work, he knew that he had met a good owner.

So, he gritted his teeth and went to Bai Linxia in private, telling her about what he wanted to send his sister over.

There are all boys here, and he is afraid that Bai Linxia will not want to accept girls.

Unexpectedly, Bai Linxia happily agreed.

Once she had chosen the people, she began to teach them.

Since they are not very old, the oldest is only ten years old.

Therefore, Bai Linxia started to teach them from the simplest knife work.

Actually, she is not good at knife work, so these are all taught by the chef in the shop.

Several children are very serious in learning, even if they have to chop vegetables every day, they have never shouted bitterness or tiredness!

The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and at this age, they have already begun to work in the fields at home.

They are all very smart, and they can teach a lot of things as soon as they are taught.

Bai Linxia would come to see their progress every day, and occasionally teach them to make some simple snacks.

These are all foods that the Great Qi Dynasty did not have, but they can be seen everywhere in modern times.

The children studied very seriously, and at the same time, after seeing the snacks she made, they admired her more and more.

"Sister Bai, you are so powerful, if only I could make such a beautiful and cute snack!" Xiao Wan'er's eyes were full of envy and admiration.

In fact, Bai Linxia only makes the most common cartoon steamed buns in modern times.

She drips colored vegetable juice into the dough to change the dough to a different color, and then kneades the dough into a cute rabbit shape and puts it in a steamer to steam.

The method is very simple, but this is the first time Bai Linxia has done it, she originally wanted to put these in the restaurant and sell them.

However, as long as experienced chefs can see this method, there is no so-called recipe at all, so there is not much market, and it will soon be replaced.

Bai Linxia planned to use the dough of those dishes to make colorful noodles and sell them in his shop.

"It's all very simple, as long as you learn it by heart, you can learn it quickly!" When Bai Linxia taught them cooking, he never just spoke, but let them do it themselves.

They all have good memories and can remember all the steps after doing it once.

Bai Linxia wants to make them interested in cooking, not as a craft to make money in the future.

Only if you really like it, can you get twice the result with half the effort.

This is Bai Linxia's personal experience, she just loves to eat at the beginning, so she will change her tricks to fiddle with those foods.

"Master, if we learn in the future, we will definitely follow you to do things well!" Several of the children especially liked Bai Linxia because she used interesting methods when teaching them.

When others teach them, they just follow the script, and they learn very slowly.

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will definitely become the mainstay of the shop in the future!" Bai Linxia originally cultivated them as his confidants.

As the days passed, several children learned some simple dishes, and Bai Linxia was very satisfied with them.

She felt that the apprentices she had accepted were not bad.

In order for these children to stay in the shop in the future, Bai Linxia has already discussed it with their parents, otherwise she will not easily pass on her cooking skills.

Wan'er is the only girl, she is not as smart as the other children, but she works very hard.

Every time she didn't do as she wanted, she would secretly practice in order to meet Bai Linxia's requirements.

Her family is in difficulty, her brother is a boy in the shop, and her mother's eyes can no longer embroider, if she doesn't study hard and stay in the shop to work in the future, after she is married, her mother will definitely directly marry her to others.

Wan'er doesn't want to live like that, she has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and she has always hoped that she can help her brother and mother.

Since she met Bai Linxia, she had a goal in her heart, she wanted to become a woman like Bai Linxia......

"Qianchen, I think those children are very talented, I want to buy a few children back!" Originally, she took in the five children just to test whether her method was effective.

However, she needs a lot, but not in the form of apprentices.

"I'll go with you!" Shen Qianchen will come over these days to see how she teaches those children.

After he saw the results, he found that Bai Linxia had a very good method in teaching children, and their previous plan could be implemented.

So, they went to find the most famous person in Yangzhou City together.

"I want to buy you a few children, both male and female, but you must be smart and obedient!" Bai Linxia directly said his request.

It's not the first time she's met someone, the guys she bought before, and the people in the family, are all looking for him.

Wang Yanzi is steady, no one else is black-hearted, and many people are willing to sell their children to him, just to find a good place for their children.

These days, there are too many people who sell their children in order to survive.

"Please sit down for a while, and I'll go and bring someone over right away, and let you pick them personally!" After Wang Yanzi saw Bai Linxia, he knew that business was coming.

They are very cheerful in their work and never drag their feet.

It didn't take long for Wang Yanzi to come over with more than a dozen children.

"White girl, these are children with good qualifications, you can pick whatever you want!" Wang Yanzi said flatteringly.
