Life is a Game

Ji Xia put down the almost packed suitcases and followed Jiang Feng out.

Ji Yue was talking with Ji Xue in the living room. As the president of the Chess Club who used to trick a group of members into supporting the entire chess club, Ji Yue is best at talking and making friends.

"Xia Xia." Seeing Ji Xia coming out, Ji Xue stood up from the sofa, "Where are you going?"

"I'll take him to my place to make noodles, and he will be back soon, Ji Xue, don't worry." Jiang Feng explained, leading Ji Xia out.

Ji Xue \u0026 Ji Yue:? ? ?

Wu Minqi stayed behind and explained to Ji Xue and Ji Yue: "I talked to Ji Xia just now, she said that she can stretch Fengfeng and wanted to test her level, Axue, don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Your sister can stretch noodles?" Ji Yue was shocked.

Ji Xue also stayed where she was: "I don't know either."

Wu Minqi smiled: "Xia Xia is a good child with ideals and plans. If you have time, Ah Xue, talk to her more, listen to her thoughts, and don't treat her like a child. I'll go down first. Send Xia Xia up later."

Speaking of which, Wu Minqi also left.

The dough Jiang Feng kneaded in the morning was still on the table in the living room. Because of the sudden incident, he and Wu Minqi both hurried upstairs, and the dough was already a little dry without covering it with gauze.

"Can I make a noodle?" Jiang Feng was a little uncertain.

"Okay." Ji Xia said, and started to do it.

How well a person stretches noodles can be seen from the movements of her hands.

Stretching noodles is a test of basic skills, and the technique is very difficult. First of all, you must be steady, and your hands must be steady.

The dough Jiang Feng kneaded in the morning was not big, so Ji Xia took all the dough, kneaded it into thick strips with the heel of his palm, slipped and dropped it, and then began to smooth the tendons. Ji Xia smoothed and fell the tendons very quickly. This is enough to show that she is very strong, at least stronger than ordinary girls or even boys of the same age.

The movements are very smooth and proficient, and it looks like a veteran at first glance, which is very in line with what Ji Xia said about working in a noodle shop every week.

In Ji Xia's hands, the dough is like a toy she is good at. Whether it is falling or sliding, the movements are very smooth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as flowing.

"You usually work in a noodle shop, how many servings of stretched noodles do you make a day?" Jiang Feng asked.

While falling, Ji Xia said, "More than a hundred copies."

"More than a hundred copies?" Jiang Feng suspected that Ji Xia's math was not very good, "The business of your noodle shop is so good?"

"The business of other shops is not so good, only Master Liang's noodle shop business is particularly good." Ji Xia shook the big strip on his hand, folded it in half on the table, and was about to start rolling out the noodles.

"At the beginning, Master Liang didn't teach me how to make noodles. When I was only responsible for collecting and washing dishes, I heard some customers say that the noodles made by Master Liang are very delicious, better than the noodle restaurants in the county and the city. The noodles you make are even more delicious." Click.

"I remember Master Liang also said that he originally opened a noodle restaurant in the city, and then he returned to the town when he didn't want to do it." Twice.

"Sometimes during the summer vacation, Master Liang would go back to the village for a few days, and then I would hand over the business of the noodle shop to me. I would be responsible for opening the door, making noodles, cleaning, and cleaning up the dishes. Add 30 yuan." Three times.

"Master Liang even entrusted you with the techniques of boiling soup base and braised beef." Jiang Feng couldn't believe it. Master Liang taught Ji Xia as his apprentice.

"Master Liang taught me how to make soup base, but I don't cook it as well as Master Liang. The guests eat it as soon as they eat it." Four times.

"Does Master Liang have any other apprentices?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Another apprentice? He was the only one in Master Liang's shop before, or did he recruit me after I took the initiative to ask Master Liang if he wanted to recruit workers." Five times.

"Where are his sons and daughters?"

Ji Xia sprinkled a handful of white flour on his face: "I haven't seen it much, I don't usually live in the town, I only saw Master Liang's son once during the winter vacation last year."

Six strokes.

"Didn't Master Liang tell you to stay in his shop to help in the future?" Jiang Feng asked.

The movements of Ji Xia's hands paused, and he said: "As I said, Master Liang said that he wanted to take me in as an apprentice and give me the noodle shop in the future. When he gets older, he will return to live in the village, and I will stay in the town and continue to open the noodle shop. "

Seven strokes.

"Isn't that good? A noodle shop is similar to a breakfast shop."

"This is not good. The town is too close to my village. It takes more than an hour to walk there. I want to go somewhere farther away from home." Eight times.

The stretched noodles after stretching eight times were already very thin. Jiang Feng knew that it was time for Ji Xia to be very serious, so he stopped asking questions and quietly watched Ji Xia's movements.

Ji Xia sprinkled a handful of flour on the noodles, grabbed the middle part with his right hand, and turned it outward to the right, shaking the noodles while slowly stretching them out. The movements were slow and his hands were steady.

nine times.

A small portion of the surface has been broken.

Ji Xia stopped.

If you stretch it ten times more, most of the noodles will be broken, and the stretched noodles will be ruined.

"I..." Didn't show my true strength Ji Xia wanted to explain to Jiang Feng, "I can really stretch ten times."

Of course Jiang Feng knew that she could stretch ten times, not only ten times, but she could also stretch twelve times and thirteen times, fourteen times and fifteen times, and even nineteen times and twenty times.

She is only 16 years old and has only learned how to make noodles for a year and a half.

Although Jiang Feng has only learned how to stretch noodles for a month, he can stretch noodles six times, but since the difficulty of stretching noodles increases geometrically, Jiang Feng estimates that it will be a year before he can stretch noodles ten times. matter.

Jiang Feng's talent in white cases had already made Jiang Jianguo so vicious that he wanted to go from persuading the old man to turn Jiang Feng's red case into a white case.

Jiang Feng is already 21 years old, and Ji Xia is only 16 years old.

In some aspects of the profession of chef, youth is capital.

"I know." Jiang Feng said.

"Then my level... can I work in the kitchen of a restaurant like you?" Ji Xia asked.

"Yes." Jiang Feng said with certainty.

"Can I work in a big restaurant like yours?" Ji Xia continued to ask.

"It's hard."

"Why?" Ji Xia was puzzled.

"If you want to be a white chef, it is not enough to know how to stretch noodles, unless you are skilled enough to stretch noodles to 16 times or more. Moreover, dragon beard noodles are usually used to make snacks. If you want to If you're a master chef in a big restaurant, you can't make dim sum." Jiang Feng explained.

It is difficult to be a white case master in a big restaurant, and it is even more difficult for a big restaurant to find a skilled white case master. This is also the reason why Taifeng Restaurant has not produced white case dim sum so far.

Look down on bad ones, and good ones won't come.

"Then how can I become a white case chef who can make dim sum?" Ji Xia began to get to the point.

"My suggestion is... to ask for a master. The chef industry attaches great importance to inheritance, and the relationship between master and apprentice is also very important. If you can worship a good master, your journey in the chef industry will be smooth. "Jiang Feng said.

"Then I want to worship you as my teacher!" Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

"I'm the chef of the red case." Jiang Feng no longer understands the brain circuits of contemporary teenagers

"But the eight-treasure porridge you made is delicious."

"Porridge does not belong to the white case."

"Is that porridge a red case?"

"That... porridge doesn't seem to belong to the red case at all." Jiang Feng found himself unable to explain clearly.

"What does the porridge belong to? Didn't Sister Wu just say that chefs are only divided into red chefs and white chefs?" Ji Xue asked soulfully.

"Porridge... porridge is just porridge."

"I just want to learn how to cook porridge with you. I can figure out a way to learn how to make pasta by myself." Ji Xia said.

"But I'm a chef with a red case." Jiang Feng found that the topic went back to the original Yazi after going around.

"Then I can also learn the red case from you. I have learned cooking from my grandmother. I have been cooking since I was eight years old." Ji Xia looked serious.

"Why do you have to learn from me?" Jiang Feng didn't understand.

"Because the eight-treasure porridge you made is delicious, and the shredded yam tonight is also delicious, and my sister said that your cooking skills are better than hers. I want to learn from you and work with you in the future. Cooking skills I have to become better than my sister." Ji Xia's two or three words revealed her desire to compete with Ji Xue.

Jiang Feng felt that his head was a bit big now.

"Do you know what it means to be a chef in this industry?"

"I know." Ji Xia said, "My grandmother told me that the carpenter in the next village used to accept apprentices. The master is the second father, and the apprentice's food and lodging are all at the master's house. The master will buy new clothes for the apprentice, and return The apprentices will be given New Year's money. Apprentices must listen to the master's words, provide for the master's retirement, take care of the master, be filial to the master, clean the master's house, do things for the master, run errands for the master, and take care of the children for the master. do what."

Jiang Feng: ...

The carpenter in the village next door to yours is a bit ruthless in accepting apprentices. Even the children have to be taken care of by apprentices, which is comparable to graduate students who walk their dogs.

"When did that happen?"

"Grandma said it was when she was a child."

Jiang Feng: ...

"Actually, it's not so exaggerated now, it's just..."

"I can do it." Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng, "After you and Sister Wu have a baby, I can help you take care of the baby."

Jiang Feng almost choked to death at Ji Xia's words.

"Cough...cough...cough...cough..."

He was a little moved.

It's hard to find such a foolish apprentice these days, not to mention that he still has a second main mission to recruit an apprentice.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Feng looked at Ji Xia.

"I am sure."

"I can be your master, but all you have to do now is go upstairs to sleep and have a good rest," Jiang Feng said.

"I……"

"As you said just now, apprentices live and board at the master's house, but now my house can no longer accommodate you, and the apartment upstairs is also rented by my house, so it is also my house." Jiang Feng said, laughing, " Didn’t you say it? What the master said, the apprentice should do, and you can do what you just said.”

Ji Xia didn't expect to dig a hole to bury himself, so he could only nod his head: "What about tomorrow?"

"Let your master take you to the street to buy clothes tomorrow." Wu Minqi smiled and watched the play next to her, "And don't forget to ask your master for new year's money during the Chinese New Year. Before the apprentice leaves the teacher, he must be raised by the master. Don't be shy about your money."

Jiang Feng: (;′??Д??`)

"Yes, I'll take you to the street to buy clothes tomorrow, and your hair needs to be cut. It's very troublesome to have such long hair in the back kitchen," Jiang Feng said.

"En." Ji Xia nodded.

"Then, follow me in the back kitchen. Watch more, learn more, and practice more. Of course, apprentices don't get paid, but food, housing and clothes are all included, and there is still lucky money for Chinese New Year." Jiang Feng revealed The smile of the capitalist.

"I know." Ji Xia nodded, "I'll go up first, Master."

"Master, I'm leaving first." Ji Xia left and went upstairs after finishing speaking.

"Kid Ji Xia changed his words very quickly." Jiang Feng held his chin.

"It's Ji Xia's little girl, now she's your apprentice." Wu Minqi smiled, "Do you want to talk to Ji Yue about this in the group first, and then ask her to tell Ji Xue."

Jiang Feng thought it made sense, took out his phone and started sending messages.

Jiang Feng: It's done [wit]

Ji Meili: [Surprised]

Ji Meili: How did you do it?

Jiang Feng: I took kid Ji Xia as my apprentice.

Wu Minqi: [Picture]

Wu Minqi: That's it
