About an hour is enough, Tan Qing just opened the casserole, the moment he opened the lid, the fragrance of Dongpo meat came to his face, Tan Qing nodded secretly, this effect is much better than he imagined.

Remove the excess chives from the pot one by one, and then gently remove the meat.

After that, Tan Qing took the steamer that was placed aside and began the last step, steaming through water.

After this series of steps was completed, Tan Qing got up with nothing to do, the two of them were busy cooking, even if they couldn't cope with it, they were determined not to let Tan Qing do it, Tan Qing was not so fond of showmanship, and before Dongpo meat was ready, she didn't plan to let them pay attention to themselves at all.

During this period, the young man came to the kitchen to see it several times, and each time he showed an extremely flamboyant smile to Tan Qing, Tan Qing didn't think about it, what kind of environment did he want to grow up in, so that he would give birth to such a character, Tan Qing didn't know, but what she could know was that this young man didn't seem to have malicious intentions towards her, on the contrary, Tan Qing felt the kindness coming from him, this was a rare moment for Tan Qing to feel kindness since he crossed over, and it was also because of this that when the young man began to appear in front of Tan Qing, Tan Qing was even willing to take the initiative to reply to the young man with a smile containing kindness.

Then, the young man told Tan Qing that his name was Shen Yue.

This name, how to say it, when Tan Qing heard this name, she inexplicably had a strange feeling, because in her cognition, it was impossible for such a name to appear on the body of a running hall in such a humble town, and it was from here that Tan Qing paid a little more attention to this young man named Shen Yue.

When the Dongpo meat was ready, the customers in the store were already many fewer one after another, and only the scattered three or two tables were still eating, and although it took Tan Qing two hours to make this Dongpo meat, Tan Qing was extremely satisfied with the results.

When Tan Qing lifted the lid of the pot to remove the Dongpo meat, a fragrance filled the entire kitchen, and even the original smell of oil smoke in the kitchen was covered, and the two people who were reluctant to stingy Tan Qing with even a look at them didn't know when they moved their bodies behind Tan Qing.

So when Tan Qingsheng turned around for Dongpo Meat, he was stunned by the two big men standing in front of him.

Tan Qing stared at the two people in front of him, and said in an extremely helpless tone, "Are you planning to scare people to death?" ”

The two of them shook their heads in a daze, but their expressions were extremely funny.

It's just that before Tan Qing could say anything again, Shen Yue had already run to the kitchen, followed by the shopkeeper with a serious face.

"How's it going?" The shopkeeper asked Tan Qing, but his eyes looked directly at the Dongpo meat in Tan Qing's hand, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

It's just that Tan Qing was not afraid of his scrutiny, and handed the Dongpo meat in his hand straight, and put it under the shopkeeper's nose so that he could take a closer look, and then he definitely said to the shopkeeper, "Finished, the shopkeeper can taste it himself, see if my craftsmanship suits your appetite." ”

When he said this, Tan Qing's tone had a rare hint of pride, although the shopkeeper did not show a high opinion of his performance from beginning to end, but Tan Qing still has absolute confidence in his cooking skills, which is beyond doubt.

The shopkeeper lowered his head and looked at it carefully, but he just nodded noncommittally, and then stretched out his hand, took the Dongpo meat, raised his head and asked Tan Qing, "What is the name of this dish." ”

Tan Qingden was stunned for a moment, he patronized cooking, but he forgot what kind of dynasty this was, and in this era, there seemed to be no existence of the poet Su Dongpo, but for a while, Tan Qing couldn't come up with another name, so he was silent for a moment, Tan Qing smiled and replied to the shopkeeper, "There is a place called Dongpo, this dish is a local specialty, therefore, the name of this dish is called, Dongpo meat." ”

When the shopkeeper heard it, he didn't pay much attention to it, although Tan Qing's dish was delicious in color, but it was not as good as it was necessary to cook, so he held Dongpo meat in one hand and put it in his waist with the other, and the shopkeeper walked out of the kitchen, followed by Tan Qing, Shen Yue, and the other two cooks.

Tan Qing carefully brought a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen, and when the shopkeeper brought the Dongpo meat to the only box in the water mill house and put it down, Tan Qing intimately handed the chopsticks up.

The shopkeeper glanced at Tan Qing with his eyes, and there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

"Taste it while it's hot, it's almost delicious when it's cold." Tan Qing took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence of the room.

The shopkeeper raised his hand to take the chopsticks, held them in his hand, and gently pinched a piece of meat.

After an hour and a half of steaming, the meat was soft and glutinous, and the shopkeeper gently took the chopsticks and clamped it, and the meat was half soft.

The next moment, the shopkeeper slowly put the meat into his mouth and chewed it a few times, during which his face did not show half an expression, but his throat rolled slowly, and the cook, who was originally extremely disdainful of saying "woman", said a little impatiently, "Shopkeeper, how does it taste?" ”

The shopkeeper was silent, and after being silent for a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Tan Qing, and looked at her fixedly several times, and then said to the others, "You can taste it yourself." ”

After that, the shopkeeper waved his hand at Tan Qing and walked out of the box, Tan Qing understood, quietly followed the shopkeeper, walked out, and the two returned to the kitchen again.

This time, the shopkeeper's expression was a little serious, but he didn't say anything for a long time, although Tan Qing had confidence in his heart, but looking at this scene, he still couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, and after a long time, the shopkeeper finally opened his mouth to Tan Qing, "Your craft, you can't learn it easily anywhere, it's just that you don't want to say it, and I don't force it, but if you want to come to our store to do things, there is one thing you have to remember." ”

Tan Qing nodded, "Shopkeeper, please speak." ”

"I think you also know that the chef in our store was someone Chen, two years ago he rolled up the recipe I put in the store and went to Yang's house to be the chef, so I don't have any other requirements for you, just don't do treacherous things, although my water mill family is not a big place, but I will never see this kind of stealing chickens and dogs," the shopkeeper's words were a little heavy, but Tan Qing understood what the problem was, so when she faced the shopkeeper's words, she just nodded heavily, and immediately replied, "The shopkeeper can rest assured." ”

"What's your name?" After listening to Tan Qing's answer, the shopkeeper didn't show any emotion, just nodded like Tan Qing, and then asked her such a question.

Tan Qing stretched out his hand and touched the headscarf that was still wrapped around his face, hesitated for a long time before raising his head, and said to the shopkeeper again, "For some reason, maybe I can't tell you my true identity, and I hope you can understand, if you don't mind, you can call me Xiaoqing, of course, in exchange, my salary can be more than the market price." ”

"I'm just recruiting a cook, and I'm not here to investigate you, asking your name is just a need for a title, since you have something unspeakable, then don't mention it, as for the salary, five dollars a month, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper's words came out, but Tan Qing was a little flattered, as far as she knew, that Chef Chen was in the Yang family, and it was only five dollars of silver a month, since he was dug into the Yang family, it proved that the wages of this water mill family were lower than those offered by the Yang family, in this case, how could his monthly money be as high as five dollars of silver?

Thinking like this, after thinking about it for a long time, Tan Qing raised her head leisurely, she didn't seem to be a person who hid her mind, so she asked the doubts in her heart when she came.

When the words fell, the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows rarely, with a hint of a playful smile in his eyes, and immediately fell to Tan Qingshu, "I hope that others will come to my store, the first thing is to ask how much the salary is, if you are not satisfied, you will turn around and leave, and you, come in without saying a word, let you cook and run to cook neatly, and I am not afraid that Ah Yue will deliberately toss you so that you can't get off the stage, girl, you are like this, I am afraid that you will suffer." ”

The shopkeeper's words were a little meaningful, Tan Qing had some experience in her heart when she heard this, but what she didn't tell the shopkeeper was that the reason why she believed in Shen Yue was just because Shen Yue looked at it made her feel close, and another reason was that Tan Qing had nothing to lose from the beginning.

First, she has no money, and second, if something really happens, if she wants to come to the second master of the Yang family, she will never sit idly by, and this person still seems to attach great importance to the reputation of the Yang Mansion.

And this is all Tan Qing's confidence.

It's just that the shopkeeper said this, Tan Qing was a little scared, it seems that what the shopkeeper said is not false, it seems that he really has the habit of trusting others, whether it is A Ning or Shen Yue now, it is just that he feels close, and he has let go of all his vigilance, which is really not good.

Therefore, Tan Qing secretly made a decision, to live safely in this place, I think I still have to be more vigilant, otherwise, I don't know when I will die.
