After that, shopkeeper Wang didn't ask too much and started talking about the business, "All the better teachers have been hired by the school, and you can't use the bad ones. Let me think about it again..." He frowned and rolled his eyes.

Then he said, "I thought of it! There really is such a person. I wonder if you will be satisfied. He also came back here recently. He had eaten your Kung Pao Chicken in our restaurant before and praised the dish as very delicious."

As he was talking, he got a little off track, and he coughed lightly and returned to the topic, "I heard that he came back from Bianjing. He was a Jinshi in his early years and entered the Imperial College to teach. Later, I don't know why, he resigned.

When the official came back to his hometown, I also asked him why, but he avoided talking about it. He just sighed and said something about "unappreciated talent". If you want to find a good teacher, he may be able to do it, but I don't know if he can.

Agreed, I told you that I was looking for a job when I was eating here before. You can go and ask. His surname is Xu and he lives in the alley that turned left in front of me."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, thanked him and walked in the direction of the alley pointed by shopkeeper Wang. Whether it is possible or not, just go and see and see!

When we arrived at the alley, there were several families, and after asking around, we found out where Professor Xu lived. It was a very simple little house at the end of the alley, but it was better than her thatched house.

Gu Xiaoxiao swept the lintel of the door, then stepped forward and knocked gently on the door. A slightly aged middle-aged man's voice came from inside, "Who is it?" There was another gentle sound of walking.

Soon the door was opened, and an obviously depressed face was revealed. He saw a strange woman standing in front of the door, frowning slightly, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Hearing the somewhat indifferent tone, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention. Generally, people who are frustrated in officialdom will have a bit of a weird temper.

After all, she was asking for help. With a gentle smile on her lips, she said softly: "Are you Mr. Xu?"

Seeing that the visitor was so polite, he also looked embarrassed because of his bad attitude just now, and replied in a softer tone: "I am, what can I do for you?"

If you look at it this way, he is a sensible person, so it will be easier to communicate! The smile at the corner of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth deepened.

Then he started talking about business, "Xu Jiaoxi, I came here to find a teacher for my children. I heard that you just came back from Bianjing, so I came to visit without permission. I hope I can have the honor of asking you to teach me."

When he heard what was going on, Xu Jiaoxi’s face was as same as before, and he said sternly: “I won’t teach you! I won’t teach you!”

I just want to close the door and say thank you.

Unexpectedly, the door could not be closed. Xu Jiaoxi lowered his head and saw that it was blocked by Gu Xiaoxiao's feet. He was so powerful that even a man could not compete with him.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and tried his best to remain polite and said: "Why don't you teach me? You don't even look at my child and you insist that you don't want to teach me. You need to give me a reason!"

"There's no reason, I just don't want to be a teacher anymore, can't I?!" Teacher Xu raised his chin and shouted with a frown.

"Don't you want to find a job? Teaching is in line with your identity, so why don't you teach? Is it because you are not capable?" She narrowed her eyes, as if in doubt.

"I'm not capable?! Are you kidding me! But I..." At this point, he suddenly paused, came to his senses, calmed down his emotions, and said with a disdainful smile: "Humph! You want to provoke me and make me agree on impulse.

You? You just read my knowledge for nothing? How can you be fooled? Let me teach, don’t even think about it!"

Then he pointed at Gu Xiaoxiao's foot that was blocking the door, "Will you take it away? If you don't, I'll call someone! I'll sue you for breaking into a house!"

Gu Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and took his legs back.

It wasn't that she was threatened by Xu Jiaoxi's words, but seeing that his attitude was so determined, it didn't make sense even if she thought about it.

This teacher is from the Imperial College, so his ability is certainly not bad. No matter what, at least he can be regarded as a relatively good teacher in this town.

To be able to enter the Imperial College to teach, one's ability should not be underestimated. Even if he resigns and returns to his hometown, his ability is still there!

This was also the reason why Gu Xiaoxiao was able to go all the way and endure his temper.

Although she knew a lot, it was all about the knowledge of the end of the world, and she still had very little knowledge about the learning content of this world, so she had to find a teacher outside. With the guidance of this teacher, the four bastards were absolutely perfect in their knowledge.

Not bad!

But whatever, if this one isn't good enough, just find someone else. This town won't be the only teacher.

Seeing that her legs were retracted and there was no obstacle to the door, Teacher Xu let out another "hum" and slammed the door.

She pursed her lips, feeling that his door was quite strong and could withstand such a fall. What material was it made of? She took a few more glances out of curiosity.

However, Professor Xu's attitude had been a bit better before, but as soon as he was asked to teach, his expression changed drastically, as if it was some kind of scourge, and he couldn't avoid it. It seems that he experienced something bad in the Imperial College...

She didn't think about it further. It was none of her business anyway. She might as well go back and ask Shopkeeper Wang if there was any better teacher.

With this thought in mind, she walked back.

When Shopkeeper Wang saw Mrs. Gu coming back to Shiwei Xuan, he understood that things might not work out and sighed helplessly.

"Shopkeeper Wang, do you know of any other better teachers?" Gu Xiaoxiao walked up to him and said calmly.

There is no unnecessary expression on his face, and he cannot tell whether he is happy or angry.

Shopkeeper Wang could only think about it carefully. After sorting out the vocabulary in his mind, he cautiously said: "Um, Mrs. Gu..."

Before he could say anything, Shopkeeper Wang glanced at the door and saw a person coming in. He was a little surprised, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Seeing Shopkeeper Wang's expression, Gu Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and turned her head, not only raising her eyebrows when she saw the person coming.

Isn’t this the Teacher Xu whom I just met just now?

At this time, Teacher Xu also happened to see Gu Xiaoxiao, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

Is this woman following him?

...It seems not, it seems that this woman came in first.

After thinking about this, his expression softened a little, but he was still a little unhappy, with the aura of a frustrated and decadent old scholar about him.

He ignored Gu Xiaoxiao, as if he had never seen him before, and went straight to an empty table and sat down. He stroked his goatee, knocked on the table a few times, and shouted: "Waiter! Give me a plate."

Kung Pao Chicken and a bowl of rice!”

"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment!" the waiter responded.

He rubbed his hands and waited patiently. A smile finally appeared on his face, showing his anticipation for the Kung Pao Chicken that was about to be served.

Gu Xiaoxiao did not miss the hint of smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.

It seems that Professor Xu also likes to eat Kung Pao Chicken! A former teacher from the Imperial College was actually a foodie!

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she had another idea in her mind.

He turned back to Shopkeeper Wang and said, "It's almost the end of the month, and there are only a few days left. I'll teach Xiao Siyuan another dish. I'll teach you the dish I'm going to teach next month in advance. How about that?"

Shopkeeper Wang suddenly said excitedly: "This is great! This is great! If you teach in advance, you can sell in advance, and the income will increase again! Hahaha..." He smiled from ear to ear.

Gu Xiaoxiao was speechless and looked at him expressionlessly.

Shopkeeper Wang also knew that he had gone too far, and then he stopped laughing awkwardly, and continued to say to Gu Xiaoxiao: "Ms. Gu, then... I will take you to the kitchen to find Liu Siyuan, and you can tell me what you need to prepare.

Ask someone to prepare it for you."

She nodded, and without saying anything to prepare, she followed Shopkeeper Wang to the kitchen.

What needs to be prepared? She will make whatever the kitchen has, and there is no need to go to so much trouble. Anyway, whatever she makes is delicious to the people here.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Gu Xiaoxiao saw the busy figure.

After the previous chef was sent to the yamen, Liu Siyuan learned her cooking and was successfully promoted from a junior cook to a senior chef. Now he also specializes in making Kung Pao Chicken and can order thousands of orders a day, although he only cooks

One dish, that’s a tiring batch!

But although he was tired, he was also very happy. He was doing what he liked and couldn't care less about it!

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at her little apprentice and felt full of pride.

Shopkeeper Wang called out, and Liu Siyuan, who was lowering his head to cook, raised his head instantly and saw Gu Xiaoxiao beside the shopkeeper. He immediately showed a bright smile and shouted: "Master!"

Then he wiped the beads of sweat on his face that had evaporated due to the heat in the kitchen, handed the work in his hands to others, and ran over with a grin on his face.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled back at him and didn't need to say anything more.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Ah, that's it. Madam Gu is going to teach you the dishes for next month in advance. You clean up and make room for Madam Gu." Shopkeeper Wang explained for Gu Xiaoxiao.

"This is great! I can't wait to learn the next one!" Liu Siyuan chuckled and pointed in the direction where he was before, "Then let's do it at the station I just worked on."

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at it and nodded, agreeing.

When she came to her work station, she looked at the dishes prepared beside her and thought for a moment.

Then let’s make... blooming rich shrimps. The method is relatively simple and can be done faster. So I washed my hands and started.

Wash the shrimps, cut off the shrimp whiskers, cut the backs, remove the shrimp lines, and spread them out flat. Then soak the vermicelli in cold water, drain the water, put it on the plate and pile it high in the middle, with the shrimp heads facing up.

The shrimps are arranged around the fans.

Then make a small sauce, mince the garlic, add salt, sugar, oil, vinegar, add some soy sauce and stir into a sauce. Mince the onions and peppers and set aside.

Pour the prepared sauce onto the shrimps, boil the water and steam them in a pan, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and chili peppers, and pour hot oil over them.

Soon a dish of rich and prosperous shrimp with blooming flowers came out of the pot. Its exquisiteness lies in the presentation. The shrimp tail is composed of a flower, and the blooming and prosperous flowers also have auspicious meanings. In the last days, it was mostly a private dish made by families during the New Year and festivals.

This dish may seem light, but the texture is extremely comfortable and refreshing. The shrimp meat is mixed with the aroma of garlic in the seasoning, and the vermicelli also absorbs the umami flavor of the shrimp, making it smooth and delicious.

Liu Siyuan watched from the side and was amazed. This dish is different from the stir-fried Kung Pao Chicken. Instead, it is lightly steamed, giving it a more elegant feel.

This is also very simple. Liu Siyuan is very smart. He understands it at a glance and quickly masters it.

Gu Xiaoxiao was also very satisfied with his apprentice's intelligence. Seeing that it didn't take long for Xiao Siyuan to learn it completely, he said to Shopkeeper Wang who was swallowing his saliva beside him: "The portion I made will be given to Xu.

Let’s teach.”

Madam Gu bought a stake in Shiwei Xuan and was considered their second boss, so she had to listen to what she said.

Shopkeeper Wang nodded hurriedly and asked someone to bring the portion Gu Xiaoxiao made to Teacher Xu.

He also had some idea in his heart that Mrs. Gu was probably using this dish to bribe Xu Jiaoxi to teach her children.
