Chapter 115: Work
When the chef saw Shen Lingxiu coming to open the door, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled a little innocently.
"Is there something looking for me?" Shen Lingxiu looked at the chef, he was still wearing the same clothes he wore at work, and he looked like he had just gotten off work, so he ran directly to her.
"Well, there's something going on." The chef smiled sheepishly, "Do you have time now?" ”
Shen Lingxiu nodded, "Naturally, there is time, what is the matter?" ”
"That's right, don't I make noodles at the inn, but the texture of this noodle always feels a little wrong, and it doesn't feel that way when I eat it." The chef wiped his sweat again, "So, I just wanted to ask you if you have any tips for making those noodles." ”
Shen Lingxiu didn't expect that the chef came to her for this matter, and was stunned at the door for a few seconds.
The chef thought she was unwilling, and quickly added, "Eh, if it's a top secret, I won't ask, I'll bother you." ”
Shen Lingxiu smiled, "What's top secret here, I'm just a little surprised that you actually came to ask me about this." ”
"That's right, in terms of noodles, in our village, I don't think anyone can compare to you, so I naturally want to ask you."
"It's over, in that case, you can come to the house first, I have some ideas in my heart, but I can't know until I actually do it."
The chef listened, did not refuse, cautiously walked into the house, and followed Shen Lingxiu to the kitchen.
Shen Lingxiu took the flour at home, hesitated for a moment, and still reconciled together.
Then she asked the chef to watch her movements carefully, explaining to the chef as she did it.
The chef is indeed here to learn, and his eyes are wide at this time, and he can't wait to stuff all of Shen Lingxiu's movements into his mind.
Shen Lingxiu looked at him with some amusement, but he didn't say anything, just slowed down a little in his technique, so that the chef could see more clearly.
"Well, in this place, I feel like there's always something wrong with me." When the chef saw what he was not proficient in, he immediately asked questions.
Shen Lingxiu nodded clearly, it seemed that the chef had some problems in the kneading process, so she carefully explained the kneading skills to the chef, and the chef wrote them down one by one.
After Shen Lingxiu finished cooking, she took out some flour and handed it to the chef, asking him to actually operate it to see if there was anything he didn't understand, he could ask her, and then it would be solved on the spot.
The chef naturally felt very happy, and hurriedly agreed, and then took the flour and mixed some noodles.
He carefully mixed the dough, thinking about what he had just seen Shen Lingxiu do, kneading the dough again and again.
Shen Lingxiu stood aside, giving him some suggestions from time to time and asking him to make corrections, and the chef responded one by one.
Later, the chef was obviously skilled, anyway, he had made a lot of meals, and he was still very talented in cooking, and when the final result came, he could feel that this dough was very different from the ones he had made before, and it was definitely better than the ones he had made before, I don't know how many times.
He wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Shen Lingxiu gratefully, "Thank you so much, I feel like I'm a little out of the way, if it weren't for you, I really don't know how to make the guests eat satisfactory pasta." ”
Shen Lingxiu waved her hand, "It's not a big problem, you can learn it is also the result of your own hard work, I just made some suggestions." ”
"Eh, you don't have to be humble, I really appreciate you." The chef was very happy in his heart, and he was also a lot closer to Shen Lingxiu.
Shen Lingxiu smiled, and then set out to put away the dough that had just been kneaded, so that it would not harden when it was eaten later.
"Huh? What does this do? The chef didn't know what was going on at Shen Lingxiu's house, so he took the initiative to ask, "Eh, I'll make some noodles for you to eat on the spot, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Just to try my craft and see what my noodles are lacking in. ”
Shen Lingxiu smiled bitterly in embarrassment, "I'm really embarrassed, I'm not afraid of your jokes, now these dough have to be eaten in our house for several days, we have already eaten it today, let's save these for next time." ”
The chef looked at the amount of dough and said in surprise, "How many days do you eat this dough?" How can this work, this is only the amount of two or three people, how can you still eat it every day? And the dough doesn't taste as good as it does today after a few days. ”
Shen Lingxiu saw that the chef really didn't know about this matter, so she had to say, "Don't hide it, our family's current economic situation is not very good, and it has already taken a lot of effort to satisfy our hunger." A few days ago, our family broke up, and all we were given was this small habitat, and there was nothing else, so there was no way to do it, and it would last for a while. ”
Only then did the chef know the current embarrassing situation in Shen Lingxiu's family, and then thought that Shen Lingxiu used the flour without saying anything in order to teach him the skills of kneading dough just now, and he felt guilty and grateful.
"This, alas, I don't know this, if I knew, I wouldn't use your flour, what do you say I'm doing?" The chef said guiltily.
Shen Lingxiu didn't care, she comforted the chef in turn and said, "It's nothing, it can make the taste of your noodles better, so that more customers can eat delicious noodles, and it is not enough for me to do this." ”
The chef still felt sorry in his heart, although Shen Lingxiu didn't care at all, but they were willing to help him in such a difficult situation now, what reason did he have not to help her.
Thinking of this, the chef opened his mouth and proposed, "Are you not opening the noodle restaurant now?" ”
Shen Lingxiu nodded inexplicably.
"Eh, that's the case, what about our inn, I've been looking for someone to be a rough maid recently, although this job may be harder, and there are some grievances to you, but it's still a job, and you can earn some silver, so as to maintain your family's livelihood, what do you think? If you are willing to go, I will talk to the shopkeeper about this matter, and hire you directly, anyway, your character is much more reliable than those from outside. ”
When Shen Lingxiu heard this, she was very excited in her heart, and hurriedly nodded and said, "This, I naturally want to agree to this, really, thank you so much, I am still worried about what I should find to do." ”
The chef smiled and wiped his sweat again, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's also a reward for you to teach me noodles, you can go to our inn tomorrow, I'll go first, and I have to talk to the shopkeeper about it." ”
"Okay, thank you."
Shen Lingxiu sent the chef to the door and said goodbye to him with a smile.
After the chef walked away, Shen Lingxiu immediately hummed a little song and returned to Lin Ziwen.
Lin Ziwen saw that she was happy, so he asked what happened.
Shen Lingxiu immediately told him that he had found a job to do and would be able to go to work tomorrow.
Who knew that Lin Ziwen was not particularly happy when he heard this.
He frowned and reprimanded Shen Lingxiu for the first time.
"How can you, a woman, go out and do that kind of work? What if you get pestered by those guests? It stands to reason that I should be looking for a job to do, so how can I let you go? ”
Shen Lingxiu said unjustly, "You forget, I know some self-defense skills, if they really dare to do something to me, they are the only ones who are unlucky." Besides, it's better for you to take care of your mother, you are much better than me in taking care of people. ”
Lin Ziwen sighed, and there was no way to take Shen Lingxiu, Shen Lingxiu knew that Lin Ziwen was worried about himself, and he was not angry, so he took the initiative to please Lin Ziwen in general, and under Lin Ziwen's helpless gaze, he rarely lied to Lin Ziwen for a while.
Lin Ziwen had never seen her like this, she was pestered for a while, and then compromised.
Shen Lingxiu smiled, comforted Lin Ziwen again, and then began to look forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
When Shen Lingxiu came to the inn, the chef saw her at once, and then took her to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper also asked a maid to work, so although Shen Lingxiu's face was a little scary, he didn't say anything.
After all, he also knows a little bit about Shen Lingxiu's noodle making skills, and maybe he can occasionally go to the kitchen to help, killing two birds with one stone.
So Shen Lingxiu worked in the inn so naturally.
On the way to work, she found that this inn didn't seem to have a settler, and after casually asking, she found out that this inn lacked an accountant, and now she was looking for it, but she didn't find the right person.
Shen Lingxiu immediately felt that she had another chance, after all, she was from modern times, and people in the twenty-first century could still understand arithmetic at the very least.
So she took the initiative to find the shopkeeper, intending to apply for this accounting gentleman.
"Nope." The shopkeeper refused the matter without even thinking about it.
"But isn't there a lack of such a person in the inn now? Since it's missing, why can't you let me try it? Shen Lingxiu asked incomprehensibly.
"Go and go, it's good to let you be a maid, you are a woman, what is a settling gentleman, can you understand?" The shopkeeper obviously didn't trust Shen Lingxiu's ability, and his eyes were full of disdain for Shen Lingxiu's proposal.
Shen Lingxiu looked at the shopkeeper dissatisfied, wanting to defend herself, but the shopkeeper didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, and in the end, she didn't get this opportunity.
After Shen Lingxiu failed, he sighed helplessly, and there was no way, it was very difficult for the ancient people's minds to change.
Don't get into trouble now, let's get the job done first. Shen Lingxiu secretly decided.
