"Lao Wang?" Wang Yong felt very strange, why did this old man mention Lao Wang, or who was Lao Wang?

"Oh!" Then he remembered it, so he looked at the old man, "What you said should be the former shopkeeper, right?" I'm sorry, maybe you misunderstood, but he took me in at the time, but he didn't teach me any cooking, but entrusted me with this shop before he died. ”

"Oh, so you're not Lao Wang's nephew?" The elder didn't expect that he would actually make a big fuss, he originally thought that he was the son and nephew of his old friend, at least he was also a closed disciple, but he didn't expect that it was not.

"Hehe...... "But how old is the old man, what haven't you seen?" quickly calmed down, and said slowly in a kind tone, "Then let's get acquainted again!" The old husband Yang Ci, from Hongnong Yang, is a special chef, who used to be a chef in the palace by luck, and after retirement, he is an elder of the chef's guild. ”

Generally, chefs over the age of 45 can apply for retirement, after all, after the age of 45, the body is no longer so flexible, and many dishes can no longer be cooked. However, rich knowledge is their greatest treasure, so the Chef Guild has stepped in to recruit retired Master Chefs as elders to train and discover the next generation of chefs to ensure the inheritance and development of chefs.

Yang Ci came to this place with the original purpose of discovering and cultivating one or two disciples according to the requirements of the chef guild to pass on his cooking skills. As for his son, he followed the path of a civil official and did not seem to intend to inherit his culinary skills.

"It turned out to be the guild elder, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Knowing the identity of the old man, Wang Yong couldn't help but be in awe. If you want to talk about the president or vice president of the guild, you can only say that it is the management, then the elder is the inheritor of the culinary art. In terms of sects, it is the elder of the Gonggong, and no 'disciple' dares to slack off.

"I thought you were Lao Wang's disciple, but I didn't expect you to be ...... So, who did you learn from your cooking skills? Yang Ci nodded, and then asked.

"Yong's cooking skills are not taught by anyone, but the result of one's own exploration." Wang Yong replied truthfully, strictly speaking, according to the recipes searched by the computer, and then groped little by little, and these recipes and skills were accumulated by predecessors, but he couldn't explain it at all.

"Oh, it's very rare to be self-taught." Yang Ci's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Since you don't have a teacher, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Yong didn't expect that Yang Ci, the elder of the Chef Guild and the special chef, would actually accept him as a disciple.

"What, don't want to?" Yang Ci saw Wang Yong stunned there, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little puzzled. Everyone else rushed to agree, why is this person like this, is it said that he can't look down on a special chef?

"Not really!" Wang Yong hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just a little flattered, and I haven't reacted yet." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You are willing to accept apprentices, this is the honor of the boy!" However, the kid is already planning to become a state chef, and he is scheduled to become a state chef, so I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the elder to study......"

"Hahaha, yes, it's not surprising that you're young and have a stronger desire for the opposite sex than for cooking." Yang Ci obviously wanted to be crooked, and said in a somewhat playful tone.

"How much, there is a meaning in this regard...... Wang Yong was a little embarrassed, of course it was best to be among the flowers.

"You don't need to worry, there have been many similar situations before." Yang Ci smiled, "Actually, the two are not in conflict!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "I will stay here for three years, and even if you go elsewhere, I will follow. In three years, I will completely teach you my cooking skills, as for how much you can learn, it depends on your talent.

During this period, you will be the head chef, and you will continue to run the shop, but I hope that I can spend more time learning the basics and cooking skills. ”

"Why are you being so nice to me? You know, I'm not the nephew of the previous owner...... It's not ......" Wang Yong couldn't understand why Yang Ci, who was born in a big family, was so enthusiastic about him.

"Haha......" Yang Ci suddenly laughed, "You still don't know how much impact the cooking technique called hot frying that was shown before has on the chef industry?" If nothing else, let's just say that the appearance of pastry is a great shock to the chef industry! Your talent is something that the Chef's Guild can't ignore at all, and just yesterday, even the president hoped that I would take you as an apprentice, saying that if I didn't agree, a new group of elders would come over and let you choose. Do you think you're just 'lucky'? ”

"Am I so valued?" Wang Yong is really 'flattered' at the moment, others are begging the elders to accept apprentices, but he can actually pick the elders to apprentice, the chef's guild has been established for so long, it is estimated that there are only one or two such special cases.

"But our elders are also dignified, accepting apprentices is originally a matter of fate, if we feel that we have no relationship with you, then we will not accept apprentices at will. For example, when I suspected that you were Lao Wang's disciple, I didn't plan to join in the fun, even if he was gone, I couldn't rob his disciple, this is a matter of inheritance. But since you don't have a teacher, the key is your cooking skills......" Yang Ci pointed to the fish soup on the table, "Although it can only be said to be okay, but the creativity satisfies me, I hope you can come into my door, I don't know what you think?" ”

"This ...... The conditions are so rich, if the kid refuses, it seems that he can't say anything! Wang Yong is not stupid, the backer who came to the door naturally wanted to laugh at it, "Boy Wang Yong, meet the master!" ”

"Well, for the official acceptance of apprentices, I will choose another auspicious day of the zodiac to carry out, but this card will be given to you first!" Lao Tzu nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a silver card in his sleeve.

This is the silver card of the Chef's Guild, with gold and black cards on top and bronze and iron cards below. With this card, you can go to the chef's guild to buy ingredients, you can enjoy a 7% discount, and there are many benefits and privileges in the future.

For example, ask the chef's guild to help find a certain ingredient or use a recipe for less than a certain value for free. For example, yakisoba is a skill that can be used free of charge by those who hold a bronze card or higher, without the consent of the holder. After all, monopolizing recipes or something is fatal to the development of a guild, and it only protects the interests of the holders to the greatest extent.

"Become a disciple of the Elder and automatically qualify for the Silver Card, otherwise you have to hold, or at least become a Senior Chef, to be eligible to take the test and obtain this card." Yang Ci handed the silver card to Wang Yong.

"Disciple, thank you!" Wang Yong didn't say a word, and after taking the card, he solemnly saluted Yang Ci. Although there is no way to buy ingredients cheaply at market prices like Wanshiwu, if the drought is lifted and prices are restored, the 20% discount is still considerable, and the key is that there is no such situation as a purchase restriction.

"Good, good...... Well, after drinking the fish soup, my stomach is hungry too. Yang Ci nodded, "Can you use your hot frying skills to cook a meal for your teacher?" ”

Of course, this is not Yang Ci's gluttony, but a kind of examination school, and the key is that he also hopes to see more hot fried dishes.

"This is easy to do, disciple will do it!" Wang Yong suddenly responded, said goodbye and returned to the back kitchen.
