Chapter 7: The hand is short
Chapter 7 takes the hand short
"Okay, I got it!" Ma Xiaomei responded, and began to gobble up again.
Although Ma Xiaomei is usually not very picky about food, after eating the dishes made by her brother, she finds that it is difficult to eat the dishes made by others anymore!
"Is it really so delicious? I'll taste it!" Ma Li saw that the two people in front of him were eating so deliciously.
There was a feeling that the two of them were teaming up to deceive him.
Ma Li tasted it himself, and it tasted really good.
Thought:
It's not that eating other people's mouths is soft, and taking other people's hands is short.
If only Grandpa could do the same.
But the little sister is easy to do, whether it is a tantrum or something to ask her for help, as long as she is offered to make good food, it will definitely be 100% fine.
"Good! The fish is tender and salty, and the color is ruddy and shiny!" Grandpa shouted excitedly as he ate.
Grandpa is very excited, you must know that he just doesn't have a good craft, so the family environment has not been very good!
Especially in the past few years, there have been some changes in the family, which has made a complete family fall apart.
Now the big baby he values the most is not only in great strength, but also makes a lot of money in the countryside;
is even more able to make such delicious dishes, and I dare not say how admirable my future achievements are, but at least I can make money for my family and not worry about eating and drinking.
"Hmm! it's really good, delicious, smooth and delicate!" Ma Li boasted after taking two bites.
Although I knew that with this basic home cooking skill, the food should taste very good, but I didn't expect it to taste really good.
It gave me more and more confidence......
Grandpa suddenly seemed to have decided something, and said loudly with confidence, "Big baby, I think you can really try it, when the Wei Ze family holds a wedding banquet, if you really show your hand like this, it is really not comparable to ordinary chefs!"
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you try it first, whether you succeed or not, it's okay to try it first!
The big deal is that if you don't become a chef, you can still become a chef in a few years.
"Grandpa, if I'm going to be a chef, will you help me out?" Ma Li looked at Grandpa and asked.
Ma Li thought about it for a while and felt that although he was cooking alone, there was no problem, but sometimes the scene was still very important, even if it was to let Grandpa come over to support him!
Besides, Grandpa always runs to the mountains, not to mention the tiredness, and there are many dangers.
It's not just wild beasts and bad guys, it's possible to get lost in the mountains one day.
"If you really want to be a chef, Grandpa will naturally come to help!" Grandpa nodded and agreed.
There is no problem in helping the big baby take a hand!
Anyway, if you have old arms and legs, no one else is willing to ask yourself to help, except for the big baby who is willing to let herself help, no one else is really willing!
As for going to the mountains to pick medicinal herbs and mountain goods, you can also talk about it slowly!
And the wedding wine thing is not done immediately, how can it be a while!
"Then Grandpa, you won't go to the mountains tomorrow, help me make some fishing tools at home!" Ma Li remembered that although he had the primary skills of making fishing tools, he still had to be helped by Grandpa for many materials!
Ma Li thought very clearly, the more he said that he would not go to the mountains, the easier it would be for Grandpa to go to the mountains, and if you didn't watch some things, the easier it would be to have problems.
If he had been at home for the past few days, there would not be too much of a problem, so Ma Li thought about it and hoped that Grandpa would simply not go to the mountains tomorrow!
"Yes! Originally, tomorrow Grandpa planned to take the medicinal herbs picked in the mountains to the pharmacy in the township to buy them!" Grandpa nodded happily while eating fish.
Da Wazi is so capable now, especially in his opinion, he can cook and make better skills than cooks, and he will definitely make no less money in the future!
It's a prelude to enjoying good fortune!
Grandpa is still a very casual person, not too willing to take risks!
Especially now, there are only two little babies in the family, and he can't have anything happen to him no matter what.
"But I've started making fishing tools in the morning!" said Ma Li wanted to spend the morning making a few simple fishing tools so that he could go fishing in the afternoon.
Although supported by the skills of beginner fishing tool making, fishing tools are not difficult to make.
But many tools are stored by Grandpa on weekdays, and the efficiency of the handle will naturally be much faster.
"Then I'll go to the countryside in the afternoon and help you make fishing tools at home in the morning. Grandpa said after a little thought.
Originally, according to Grandpa's plan, he planned to go to the market in the morning and dispose of the herbs and mountain goods that had been accumulated with great difficulty in the past few days.
Since the big baby is going to make fishing tools in the morning, then he will help at home!
The specific situation will be handled when the time comes.
"When will you help me go to Uncle Wei Ze's house to discuss becoming a chef?" Ma Li continued.
Ma Li is going to say that he is not worried now, it must be fake.
Finally, there is a plan to make a fortune, and who knows if there will be changes after the time drags on.
There is no time to lose.
Not to mention that Wei Ze's father didn't agree to let Ma Li go to their house to be a chef, just saying that Ma Li didn't settle down first, and if someone else preemptively decided it at that time, would it still be Ma Li's turn?
"After dinner, if you make something else, I'll bring it over to them to taste, it's more convincing!"
If the Wei Ze family sets down the master of the banquet, it will not be easy to do it, and it will definitely not be Ma Li's turn at that time, so it is better to start first.
Grandpa thought about it and thought that it was better to settle down as soon as possible, so as not to make any ghost ideas about this matter!
"Then I'll make the dishes for dinner first, and when we're all done, I'll make a good dish, and Grandpa, you can bring them over and let them taste my craftsmanship!" Ma Li said as he cooked.
"Okay! Grandpa will let it out this time, and you must have talked about your craftsmanship. Grandpa said while eating fish.
Grandpa's idea is very simple, if he doesn't talk about the craftsmanship of the big baby, how can others believe it, how can they invite Ma Li to be the chef.
Even if Wei Ze's family became a chef once, what about other people in Qili and Eight Villages doing happy events?
If he is famous, the big baby can still go to someone else's house to be a chef!
"Well, blow hard, I really don't believe that with my skills, I can't compare to this chef from all over the country!" Ma Li said confidently.
Ma Li is convinced that with his strength in primary home cooking skills, he is definitely much better than those country chefs!
It's really not good to spend some prestige points to improve your cooking skills, and I believe that by then the cooking skills will be even more powerful!
"Hey, you're suffering because you haven't grown up yet, and now it's about the same height as the stove, if it weren't for your strength, you really wouldn't be able to be a chef!" Grandpa said with some worry.
Grandpa looked at the height of the big baby, the age was too young.
I really don't know if Wei Ze and their family will agree.
Do you want to say that Grandpa has any doubts?
That's sure to be confusing.
If it's just the taste of cooking, Grandpa is very relieved, and there is absolutely no problem with Ma Li's strength.
But what about height?
It's not as high as the stove!
"It's okay! You tell them that you can cook them a free meal first. Even if it is to the end, if their relatives are a little dissatisfied, or even think that my cooking is not good, it doesn't matter if their family doesn't have to give me money. Ma Li had already said what he had considered in his heart.
As long as they make a free meal and taste it, will they still doubt his craftsmanship at that time?
Even if Ma Li is too young, as long as he tastes the dishes he makes, he will definitely remember it.
I will definitely admit it!
This self-confidence Ma Li still has!
"Generally, the wine does need to be burned for three days in a row, the first day is to simply invite the people who help to have a meal, the second day is the main meal of the wine, and the third day is to invite the seniors to have another meal!" Grandpa nodded and said when he felt that it was feasible.
"Well, why three days? Isn't that five or six dollars for three days?" said Ma Li with a slight calculation.
"How can it be so good! There are more relatives at dinner the next day, and there are not many guests on the first and third days, so there will not be many dishes!" Grandpa shook his head and said with a smile.
"Oh, I see!" said Ma Li embarrassedly.
It turns out that there is such a way in this.
Fortunately, I am also very wise, I must take my grandfather with me, and I must find a professional person to do this professional thing.
Although Ma Li has absolute confidence in cooking.
But things like this are far less easy to deal with than Grandpa, and some things must be watched by a familiar person, so as not to make some messes that should not be leaked.
"Generally, the chef doesn't charge money on the first day, at most he takes a small gift, packs some food and goes home, and only collects money on the second and third days. Grandpa said with a finger gesture.
Ma Li's cooking is very fast, with a few home-cooked dishes from the mountains, shiitake mushrooms, fungus and chicken fir plus 'Yanghan cuisine' and 'ghost needle vegetables'.
'Sheep cabbage' and 'ghost needle cabbage' are two types of wild vegetables that were picked there yesterday.
Yanghan cuisine is actually amaranth.
Its young seedlings and young stems and leaves are edible.
If you say anything about wild amaranth, red amaranth, and wild goose, you may not understand it, but as long as you say that after stir-frying, its juice is all red, and everyone will know what it is!
This wild vegetable, after high temperature, disintegrates the chloroplast, destroys the structure of chlorophyll, and also makes the red color in the vacuole ooze.
It's just that what you see on weekdays is cultivated by the farmer, and this Yanghan dish is wild in the world, so the taste is different from the farmer's cultivation!
Ghost needle vegetables are generally eaten by few people.
Most of them are used as medicinal herbs.
Even pigs, cows, sheep and other animals do not eat this herb raw, and the smell is too bad.
There are also farmers in the village who can still feed pigs after cooking the ghost needle vegetables and use them as pig feed.
It is conceivable that even if the above two dishes are fresh, it is estimated that Ma Li will not want to taste them if they are ready!
So after thinking about it, Ma Li decided to use chicken fir to make such a dish.
Wait for my grandfather to send it over, it will be somewhat inconvenient to go by myself, but it will be even more difficult to be convincing.
"Grandpa, then you can wait and bring this chicken fir over?" Ma Li brought over a plate of chicken fir with a small plate upside down.
"Okay, Grandpa try it first!" Grandpa opened the lid, picked up the chopsticks by the way, and took a piece of chicken fir and tasted it.
Seeing that Grandpa had eaten several pieces of chicken fir in a row, Ma Li reminded him. "It's too little to send later, it's not pretty!"
"Hmm! it tastes good. Grandpa blushed and said a little embarrassed.
The meat of chicken fir mushrooms is thick and fat, the quality is fine and white, and the taste is sweet and crispy.
Grandpa just tasted it and wanted to continue eating.
Fortunately, Ma Li reminded him quickly, which reminded Grandpa that there were still important things to do!
"It's no problem to send it to Uncle Wei Ze's house!" Although Ma Li felt that it should be no problem to be a chef with this dish, he still didn't know how much he was in his heart.
"No problem. If you hadn't thought that you could become a chef, Grandpa would have to eat up this dish!" Grandpa said with some emotion.
"Tomorrow you go to the village in the afternoon and come back with fish in exchange for some chicken fir, and I will make more in the evening!" said Ma Li with a smile.
"Well, exchange the fish for a little, can you get the fish at noon?" Grandpa originally wanted to go to the mountains to pick some chicken fir again one day.
"Yes, make some simple fishing tools in the morning, get a little before noon, and take them all with you, and I'll catch the rest of the fish slowly in the afternoon!" Ma Li said.
"Okay, Grandpa will go to Wei Ze's house now!" After speaking, Grandpa went out with the plate of chicken fir and went to Wei Ze's house.
Ma Li watched Grandpa go out, and there was no expectation in his heart:
Hopefully this will be done, and that's a small part of my first pot of gold.
As long as you become a chef in Wei Ze's house, after the villagers taste the dishes made by Ma Li, they will definitely want Ma Li to go to other families to be chefs for happy events.
When the time comes, it won't be a matter of two dollars!
If 10 families ask Ma Li to be a chef, it will be 20 yuan.
If there are 100 of them, it will be a matter of 200 yuan......
If it makes a sensation in the countryside or even in the city......
Ma Li quickly cleaned the dishes and pots first, and simply disposed of the family's livelihood.
Then Ma Li began to plan to make some simple fishing tools at night, and said to the boss to cultivate the system: "Upgrade the skill of making fishing tools!"
"Okay!, you've got the beginner Fishing Gear Crafting skill, and your current reputation is 11/61 (reputation remaining/reputation gained total), and there's one skill that can be improved, I hope you can keep up your efforts and level up soon!" the boss development system encouraged.
