In this way, Liu Yunniang signed an employment contract with Su Qingluan.

Considering that Liu Yunniang actually has to take care of her father, it is best not to leave for a long time, Su Qingluan thought about it and discussed with Liu Yunniang: "Yunniang, do you cook often?" ”

Liu Yunniang nodded: "After my father was injured, A-Niang went to make money to support the family, and I made all the meals at home." Even before, I would have helped. ”

"And how are your knife skills?"

"Knife work?" Liu Yunniang was a little puzzled, "I don't pay attention to any knife work, as long as I cut the vegetables, it's good to ...... "Ordinary people, many people can eat enough, thank God, where is there any extra energy to pursue what "knife work"?

Su Qingluan shook his head: "If you want this soup to be delicious, it is also very important to have the right heat for marinating." She pointed to the intestines, stomach, heart, liver, spleen and lungs, "These water have different thicknesses and textures, and you need to cut them into the same thickness and size as much as possible." ”

Seeing Liu Yunniang's puzzled face, Su Qingluan explained: "If the marinated soup is too light, it can't remove the fishy smell, and if the taste is too strong, it will be sandy and difficult to swallow. ”

Liu Yunniang nodded: "Qingluan, don't worry, I know." ”

The slaughterhouse has its own vegetable piers and knives, because there are often customers who do not want a whole animal - especially sheep, pigs, geese, etc., in many cases, they want a part.

Su Qingluan has been familiar with the butchers in these slaughterhouses during this time - many of them are even frequent customers at the water stalls, and when they meet, they joke with Su Qingluan, when can they do more water, so that they can open their bellies and have a good time.

Su Qingluan chatted for a few days, took a knife and showed Liu Yunniang how big different kinds of animals need to be cut in the water on the vegetable pier - that is, a cutting board made of tree trunks, and compared the size and thickness of each water with her hand.

"It may have been a little confusing at first, but it will be good after a long time." Su Qingluan thought for a while, "If you really can't remember, you can write it down and put it aside for easy viewing." ”

"I ...... But I don't know how to write......" Yun Niang muttered.

Su Qingluan was stunned: she was often thinking about how to let her younger brother and sister read more books, and almost forgot that in this era, the so-called "basic education" was not popularized at all, and the vast majority of ordinary people were illiterate.

She knew that there was nothing she could do to reverse the situation in this era, so she only nodded: "Since this is the case, then you learn slowly and remember slowly." "You have to have time to get started with the same job.

As she spoke, she cut open a piece of washed pig lung in her hand. Yun Niang only felt that the little lady in front of her didn't seem to measure the size of each knife, but Su Qingluan "dong dong" a few knives, and the water seemed to be deducted from the mold, tall, short, long and wide, fat and thin, thick and thin.

Such a wonderful knife work made Yun Niang almost stunned.

The butcher on the side saw her so stupid and quipped, "It's the first time I've seen this posture, right?" ”

Seeing that Liu Yunniang's mouth was still slightly grown, staring at Su Qingluan for a moment, and there was no reaction, the butcher was not annoyed, but smiled: "Such a red case kung fu, little girl, you have to learn it!" ”

Even if the butcher is not good at cooking, he has heard of knife work to such an extent, and it can be said that he can do whatever he wants, how rare it is.

Su Qingluan finished chopping a piece of pig lungs, and when she looked up, Liu Yunniang stared at herself as if she had been taken away. Su Qingluan knew what was going on after a little thought, and said comfortingly: "You don't have to take my skills too seriously - if you want to train knife skills in the kitchen all year round, in less than three or five months, you will be able to learn this knife work." ”

She doesn't have the habit of hiding her skills and not letting her look at it, but that sentence is indeed more consoling to Yun Niang - if the knife work can be completely completed in three or five months, then it is estimated that many restaurants will not worry about whether the chef can stay.

However, Su Qingluan's words are not completely nonsense - if you concentrate on learning cooking for three or five months, you can indeed learn knife skills, but if you want to go further after "eight", it will be more difficult to make every bit of progress.

However, the subtleties of this do not need to be explained too carefully with Yun Niang - in the final analysis, this job of dealing with the water only needs to be patient, and slowly cut the water into a fixed size, and does not require too much exquisite knife work, so in a sense, Su Qingluan has no need to worry about Liu Yunniang's "not enough knife work".

So in this way, Liu Yunniang's contract is completely "more work and more rewards" - how much she cleans up the water, the Su family will pay her a fixed proportion of how much.

Talking about the remuneration that can be obtained for every ten catties handled, Yun Niang happily thought to herself: If she works hard, she can at least earn Daddy's medical expenses!

So from this day on, Su Qingluan gradually formed a new way of tripartite cooperation with the slaughterhouse and Yun Niang-

The butcher prepares all kinds of sewer every morning, and when the opening drum sounds, the Su family of three enters the city, Yun Niang waits for Su Qingluan to take her to various sewer stalls to "sweep the goods" and select fresh sewerage, while Su Guangfu and his daughter are separated from each other and go to the stall to sell sewer soup;

After selecting fresh water, Su Qingluan went back to the stall with her father, and Yun Niang at this time took the water back to the small dilapidated house where she lived with her father, cleaned the water thoroughly, and then cut them into small pieces of different sizes and thicknesses according to different requirements;

Before the Su family closed the stall, Yun Niang collected the small pieces that had been processed in the water and gave them to Su Qingluan again, who weighed them and calculated how much Yun Niang could get that day according to the weight.

In this way, although there are some tosses back and forth, it can be counted in one more life item, and it can also be convenient to take care of the sick father at home nearby, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

At the beginning, Yun Niang could not be proficient in cutting, so she could only cut two or three catties of water that met the requirements every day.

However, she has a serious personality and is willing to endure hardships, seizing all the time to cut the water every day, and also taking advantage of the opportunity to cook to hone her knife skills, so it didn't take long for her to cut more than ten or twenty catties of water in half a day!

Xu Yunniang looked at the copper plate that could be arrived in time every day and was very happy.

And this incident brought an unexpected effect that surprised Su Qingluan and the Liu family: Liu Sheng, who was paralyzed on the bed, had been very depressed and blamed himself since he was sick.

But seeing his daughter cut the water every day, in order to share the housework, Liu Sheng insisted on supporting his upper body, and also learned to help his daughter deal with the water.

Because of his hard work and diligent exercise every day, it has further promoted the recovery of Yanagi's lower limbs, which can be said to be crooked.
