Chapter 23 That's my ticket:
Master Xie was so hot that he turned around on the spot.
His face moved slightly.
The feeling in his mouth was very hot, but as an experienced chef, he knew very well that it was not entirely hot.
There is even more spiciness from chili pepper mixed with the hot tofu, just like if a person drinks a cup of slightly hot water after eating a spicy food, it will feel like drinking boiled water.
This kid is actually using this feeling to create a hot feeling!
When the two apprentices saw the change in the master's face, they guessed that it was probably the master who had been burned. The master was sixty-three years old. Although he looked energetic, if his tongue or mouth was burned, it would not be possible immediately.
OK.
Moreover, having your mouth burned means that you cannot taste the food, which has a serious impact on a chef who is used to tasting food.
For a moment, they couldn't help but glare at Chen Nian.
"What's the matter?" After swallowing, Master Xie tried to take a breath and stopped his two apprentices' next move.
And he also took two more spoons and handed them to the two apprentices: "You guys also have a taste."
The two apprentices learned from their master's mistakes, so they also learned wisely. Before eating, they blew the food carefully and then put it in their mouths.
But what they boast about is the appearance. The heat inside the tofu is still firmly locked in due to the three previous thickenings.
“Hiss—so spicy!”
“So hot!”
The two said at the same time.
But even so, they were reluctant to open their mouths, because at the same time they felt that the tofu and beef seemed to come to life after entering their mouths.
The strong feeling constantly impacts their taste buds.
Then, they couldn't help but take another spoonful.
"Thank you, Master, how is it?" Chen Nian asked.
"Not bad." Master Xie nodded and said reservedly.
"Then I can stay?"
"Okay, you are here as a busboy. From now on, you will serve the dishes, wash and clean. You will be paid 300 a month. You will be accommodated regardless of where you live, and three meals will be included."
When Chen Nian heard this, he jumped for joy on the spot!
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of a question!
"Master Xie, I also have a younger sister. Her brain only has the intelligence of a three-year-old. Now we are renting a house outside. If I leave her at home all day..."
"You can't bring it to the meal." Master Xie said before Chen Nian could finish.
The hotel is such a big place, and such a stupid girl will definitely not be able to do it in the front lobby. If she cries and disturbs the customers, it will be a small matter, but if she causes any trouble, it will be a big deal.
It won't work if you put it in the back kitchen.
When Chen Nian heard this, there was no way he could leave his sister at home alone, even if the fat landlady of the hotel where he stayed was willing to help.
In my current situation, when I am away from home, I have no way of trusting others.
Just like Master Xie just now, Master Xie is actually still not willing to believe in himself.
Otherwise, he would not have asked himself to do odd jobs after he had shown such a skill. Although odd jobs also needed someone to do them, Chen Nian didn't think there was anything important about this job.
Because what Chen Nian wants is just a job, money, and enough money to support himself and his sister.
"Then... Master Xie, I'm sorry, I can't stay here. I can't leave my sister behind. She will be scared without me."
As he spoke, he prepared to leave.
But at this moment.
"What are you anxious about?" Master Xie spoke again, but he frowned, as if he was very unhappy: "You can't stay in the hotel. There is a lounge on the second floor, my room, let her stay there, you
Even if she's running in the lobby, she won't be able to get out under your nose."
When Chen Nian heard this, he became happy again.
"Thank you, Master. My name is Chen Nian, the name of Chen Nian is Chen Nian."
"Yes." Master Xie nodded: "Thank you, Jing."
It turns out that Master Xie's name is Xie Jin, which doesn't sound very foreign.
Later, the two apprentices of Master Xie introduced themselves. The older one was named Xie Min, and the younger one was named Li Hua.
"Brother Min, Brother Hua." Chen Nian said very politely, but there was still some hesitation after he finished speaking.
Seeing this, Xie Min said: "What's wrong? Is there anything you can say?"
Chen Nian nodded and pointed to the almost half-eaten Mapo Tofu in their hands: "Can you give me this tofu? My sister and I haven't eaten yet this morning, and I just said
The one who gave me money."
"oh oh!"
Seeing this, Xie Min quickly handed over the remaining half plate of Mapo Tofu and said a little embarrassedly: "This tofu is so delicious. Although it is a bit spicy, it is quite addictive. I ate so much without realizing it."
....”
After saying that, I suddenly felt that it would not be good to only give someone half a plate, since I had already eaten it myself.
Then he turned around and took two hard-boiled eggs from the basket on the side.
Passed it to Chen Nian: "Eat this."
But Chen Nian looked at Master Xie...
"Eat." Master Xie said in a neutral tone. He suddenly felt that this boy now felt like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was trying hard to pretend to be an adult and let himself work hard.
He integrates into this new group, but sometimes some small actions betray him.
He was probably still worried that he would dislike that silly girl.
well.
Just stay for now.
At this moment, Xie Jing was actually just like Chen Nian thought before, he didn't really believe in Chen Nian, but on the other hand, he didn't feel that Chen Nian was lying.
Chen Nian's previous willingness to give up his subsistence job for his sister didn't seem like he was cheating.
What kind of person have you never seen in your life?
From warlords to ordinary people, if Chen Nian can really deceive him, it means that Chen Nian's acting skills are too superb.
"Thank you, Brother Min, thank you, Master Xie."
After Chen Nian thanked him, he walked out of the kitchen with half a plate of mapo tofu and two eggs.
But Chen Yue outside could not wait any longer.
"Brother, Rourou!"
Chen Nian put the plate on the table: "Come, eat meat. The meat this time is called tofu meat. It's a bit spicy. Just eat it with eggs. Don't eat too much eggs."
When Chen Yue smelled the aroma of tofu, she immediately grabbed the spoon and put the tofu in her mouth.
And he was very obedient and took a bite of tofu and a small bite of eggs.
Chen Nian opened another egg, took out the yolk and gave it to his sister.
"Brother, this...is available! You eat it." Chen Yue looked at the egg yolk and raised the half egg in her hand to show that she had it.
Chen Nian smiled and touched his sister's furry head: "I don't like egg yolks, so you can eat them for my brother. My brother makes money to buy meat for you, so you have to do some things for him."
"Oh." After hearing this, Chen Yue took the egg yolk and stuffed it all into his mouth, filling his mouth full.
While laughing, he also sprayed egg yolk powder: "Help brother...hehehehe..."
It even flew onto Chen Nian's face.
The angry Chen Nian had a serious face again: "It's delicious! Don't talk!"
Seeing that her brother was angry, Chen Yue quickly covered her mouth and did not dare to speak any more.
Chen Nian also took advantage of his sister's breakfast and casually opened the recipe book on the table.
Turn to the first page.
A capitalized dish name paired with a picture attracts the eye.
