After a stick of incense, Yan Nantian stopped the boning knife in his hand, and there was no longer a shadow of a wild bull beast on the table, but rows of cut meat.
The incisions of the meat were neat, and every part of the beast was not damaged, and the time it took to divide the carcass of the beast was far less than half an hour as agreed.
Yan Nantian exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned his head and glanced at everyone, and now everyone was staring at him in surprise, with a smile on his face, and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, Master Spirit Kitchen, I have already divided the beast, please check it out." ”
"There's no need to check, you cut the beast within the specified time, and the meat is also in line with the prescribed standards, you have passed the test this time. Wu Qiankun shook his head slightly and said.
"Little brother, congratulations on passing the guò test and becoming a temporary assistant chef of Yuelaiju. Lin Yue'er greeted her with a smile, much kinder than before.
"Little brother, what's your name, in addition to being good at knife skills, what other unique cooking skills do you have?" Wu Qiankun asked.
"In Xia Yan Nantian, he is also good at medicinal diet and food appreciation. Yan Nantian said truthfully.
"Little brother, it's okay to appreciate food, medicinal diet is a profound knowledge, many people don't dare to say that they are proficient in a lifetime of research, don't talk big. Lin Yue'er said.
"Sister shopkeeper, the phrase 'people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't be measured', but you taught me, didn't you?" Yan Nantian asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, you're funny. Lin Yue'er smiled slightly, and stopped teasing Yan Nantian, just like Yan Nantian said, he had already looked down on Yan Nantian once, so naturally he would not make the same mistake again.
"Boy, I see that you have good potential, do you want to be my assistant and learn cooking with me. Wu Qiankun said tentatively.
"Senior Wu, do you mean that you want me to be a cook?" Yan Nantian asked with a look of joy.
Wu Qiankun smiled and said nothing, and did not answer positively, but expressed this intention for a moment, and said to Lin Yue'er: "Shopkeeper Lin, the hour is not early, I am going to the back kitchen to get busy, and Brother Yan will hand it over to you." ”
"Brother Wu, don't worry, I will take good care of Little Brother Yan. Lin Yue'er responded, winked at Yan Nantian, and said.
......
After the group of three walked out of the 'Yue Dining Room', Liu Qiang patted Yan Nantian on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, boy, I didn't expect you to be so light, so you passed the test of the restaurant." ”
"This is thanks to Liu Ye's recommendation, and I will need Liu Ye to take care of it in the future. Yan Nantian arched his hand and said.
"Well, when I find a suitable opportunity, just like our master recommends you, then you will become an official assistant chef, and you can learn cooking skills from our master. Liu Qiang said.
"Then I'll thank Master Liu first. Yan Nantian said.
"Boy, we are both so familiar with each other, you don't need to be polite to me, this is also your kid's own ability, otherwise I can't help you even if I have the heart. After Liu Qiang finished speaking, he said goodbye to Lin Yue'er, and then left in a hurry.
At this time, there were only two people left, Yan Nantian and Lin Yue'er, Lin Yue'er twisted her pretty face, opened her beautiful eyes, stared at Yan Nantian tightly, and said:
"Tsk, I'm really blind, I didn't expect you kid to be really hidden, not only easy to pass the guò test, but also appreciated by Wu Qiankun and Liu Qiang. ”
"Shopkeeper Lin, if possible, I would like to be appreciated by you. Yan Nantian smiled, stared at Lin Yue'er's delicate face, and quipped.
"You kid really knows how to make sycophants. Lin Yue'er covered her mouth, smiled coquettishly, and said, "Seeing that you kid is so knowledgeable, do you want to sister and me, and give you some guidance." ”
"Sister shopkeeper, it's great to be able to get your guidance when I first arrived. Yan Nantian said.
"Before you think about it, don't agree to become Zhou Xuebin or Wu Qiankun as a cook, although the chef is not a formal disciple, after all, there is also a half-master, the spiritual kitchen industry attaches the most importance to the inheritance of master and apprentice, once they are branded, it will be difficult to erase it. Lin Yue'er's delicate face showed a solemn look.
"Thank you for the reminder, Yan Nantian must keep it in mind. Yan Nantian bowed his hand and said sincerely.
Lin Yue'er is not bad at all, not only the spirit chefs of the other world attach importance to the inheritance of teachers, but the chef industry on the earth also attaches great importance to the inheritance of masters and apprentices, and it will even affect the life of a chef.
"Let's go, my sister will take you to the formalities. Lin Yue'er said with a smile.
The reason why Lin Yue'er admires Yan Nantian is not only because Yan Nantian's knife skills are powerful, but more importantly, Yan Nantian is still young and has a lot of potential to explore.
......
After seeing Yan Nantian and the others leave, Wu Qiankun's master and apprentice returned to the kitchen, Liu Qiming felt that today's events were a bit embarrassing, and the look on his face looked a little unnatural.
"Xiao Ming, what do you think of this kid Yan Nantian?" Wu Qiankun stopped, touched his chin, and asked.
"Master, in my opinion, this kid is a bit more powerful in swordsmanship, and his cooking skills may not be very good. Liu Qiming said a little unconvinced.
"You don't have to underestimate the world, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, whether you admit it or not, at the age of sixteen, you may not be able to compare with this kid. Wu Qiankun said.
"The master taught me a lesson. Liu Qiming's face changed, although he was a little disappreciative in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything on his face.
"Xiao Ming, how do you say he compares to Zhang Hengchun?" Wu Qiankun asked.
"Master, you don't want this kid to be a formal cook, do you?" asked Liu Qiming with some surprise.
"Yes, I do have that idea. Wu Qiankun said.
"Master, Yan Nantian is still a newcomer after all, let him skip the temporary assistant chef and directly become your assistant chef, which is not in line with the rules of Yuelaiju. Liu Qiming said.
"There's some truth to what you're saying. Wu Qiankun responded, and said with some emotion: "It's just that this kid is indeed a talent, and it's a pity to miss it." Wu Qiankun said.
"Master, after all, we have only seen this kid once, and we have not seen his other cooking skills, since he has become a temporary assistant cook, it is impossible for him to leave Yuelaiju again, we can observe for a while. Liu Qiming said.
"Well, just do as you say. Wu Qiankun pondered for a moment and nodded in response.
Hearing Wu Qiankun's words, Liu Qiming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not only because he received Zhang Hengchun's money, but more importantly, he didn't want Yan Nantian to stay by Wu Qiankun's side as a cook.
The reason is very simple, Yan Nantian's sword technique is indeed good, and more importantly, Yan Nantian is young and has potential, if he can cultivate spiritual power in the future, it is very likely to take Liu Qiming's place.
......
In the afternoon, Liu Qiming took advantage of the rest time to come to a courtyard near the 'Yue Dining Room', which was specially used for temporary cooks.
Liu Qiming walked to a house on the south side, knocked on the door of the house, and after a while, the door opened from the inside, and a man walked out, surprised and happy, and said, "Senior Brother Liu, why are you here?"
"Zhang Hengchun, listen to the meaning of your words, I am not welcome. Liu Qiming quipped.
"How come, it's too late for the little brother to be happy, Senior Brother Liu, please. Zhang Hengchun opened the door and hurriedly welcomed the other party in.
"Hmm. Liu Qiming responded, observed the environment in the house, and said.
"Senior Brother Liu, what do you have to tell you when you come here today?" Zhang Hengchun asked a little nervously and expectantly.
"Hengchun, I mentioned it to the master today, and he promised to let you be promoted to assistant cook. Liu Qiming sat on the chair and said straight to the point.
"Senior Brother Liu, thank you so much, junior brother will definitely look forward to you in the future. Zhang Hengchun stood up suddenly and said excitedly.
"Don't be too happy, just after the master agreed, a newcomer who applied for a job to help the chef came, this kid's knife skills are very powerful, and the master also appreciates him very much, and even has the intention of letting him replace you. Liu Qiming said.
"What? How could this be, what did Master Wu say in the end?" The smile on Zhang Hengchun's face froze, like a frosted eggplant.
"Don't worry, I persuaded the master again, and let the master cancel this decision, that kid is only a temporary cook, and it is estimated that he will also move to this courtyard to live. Liu Qiming said.
"Senior Brother Liu, you mean to say, let me take the opportunity to clean up that kid. Zhang Hengchun flashed a cold light and said.
"I don't mean anything, I just want to sue you, as long as the master doesn't make a final decision, this kid may replace you at any time. Liu Qiming put down a sentence, and then ignored Zhang Hengchun, who was stunned, and strode out of the room.
Zhang Hengchun was the only one left in the room, and he saw that his face was extremely gloomy, and he roared: "I have waited for so many years to wait for the opportunity to be promoted to a formal cook, and I will definitely not let anyone snatch it away!"
