Wujiang Town, Yuelaiju. Yan Nantian stood in the courtyard of Yueshan Room. This was the second time he entered here. The courtyard of Yueshan Room is a shared area. There are more than ten stoves built in the middle. The stoves are separated by wooden tables. with a variety of kitchen utensils. Yan Nantian looked at these kitchen utensils. These kitchen utensils were very exquisite, made of fine iron and wood, and each one was clean, which made Yan Nantian feel a little better. There are four spiritual chefs in Yuelaiju. One spiritual chef goes out to practice, and the other spiritual chef goes to look for ingredients. Only Wu Qiankun and Zhou Xuebin are there, and these two spiritual chefs usually stay in the private kitchen, so There are very few people in the courtyard of Yueshanfang. While Yan Nantian was observing the courtyard, Liu Qiang walked out of the west wing, waved to Yan Nantian and said, "Boy, come here quickly, I want to see you." "Okay." Yan Nantian responded. , walked to the wing on the west side, and asked in a low voice: "Master Liu, I will see Senior Zhou soon, is there anything I should pay attention to?" "It doesn't matter, just let nature take its course." Liu Qiang stretched out his right hand and patted He patted Yan Nantian on the shoulder and said. "I understand." Yan Nantian responded, took a deep breath, and then followed into the west wing. After entering the west wing, Yan Nantian found that the room was very spacious. There was a screen at the door. There were stoves, tables, and kitchen utensils behind the screen. A portrait of the God of Cooking hung on the wall in front of the screen. There are three rooms in the west wing. In addition to the room in the middle, there is another room on the left and right. There is a curtain hanging on each side of the room, so the furnishings and layout inside cannot be seen. Under the leadership of Liu Qiang, Yan Nantian entered the west side room, which was also equipped with a stove, table and kitchen utensils. A man sat next to the table, it was Zhou Xuebin who had a relationship with Yan Nantian. "Junior Yan Nantian, I have met senior Zhou." Yan Nantian stepped forward, cupped his hands in front of Zhou Xuebin, and said. "No need to be polite." Zhou Xuebin waved his hand, looked at Yan Nantian in front of him, and said with a look of scrutiny on his face. "Senior Zhou, what are your orders for this boy?" After a moment of silence, Yan Nantian asked tentatively when he saw that Zhou Xuebin did not take the initiative to ask questions. "Boy, Liu Qiang recommended you to me several times, saying that you are good at cooking and have potential. He wants me to accept you as an official chef. What do you think?" Zhou Xuebin said with a slight smile. "I am deeply honored to be recommended by Mr. Liu." Yan Nantian moved slightly, bowed to Liu Qiang beside him, and said. Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang met not long ago. Although Liu Qiang was unreliable in his words, he was very generous. Whether directly or indirectly, he gave Yan Nantian a lot of help. Yan Nantian was indeed truly grateful to him. Seeing Liu Qiang grinning and saying nothing, Yan Nantian turned around again, looked at Zhou Xuebin in front of him, and said: "Senior Zhou, I really like cooking, and I think I have some talent in cooking. It would be a great blessing for me to learn from my seniors, and I will try my best to assist my seniors. " "Boy, I don't like trouble. I like to explain everything clearly first, and I don't want to listen to some high-sounding words. Interactions between people always have a certain purpose." Zhou Xuebin stared at Yan Nantian and said: "What do you want to get from me when you stay here as a cook?" Zhou Xuebin said. After Xue Bin's words, Yan Nantian couldn't help being slightly stunned. He didn't expect the other party to speak so straightforwardly. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Senior, I stay by your side because I want to become a spiritual chef like you." "Spiritual Chef." ?" Zhou Xuebin smiled slightly, stood up from the stool, and said, "It's not easy to be a spiritual chef. Even if you stay with me as a helper, I can't guarantee that you will become a spiritual chef." "Senior Zhou, It is precisely because I know that it is not easy to become a spiritual chef and I don¡¯t know how to work hard, so I hope to get your guidance." Yan Nantianru said. "If you want to become a spiritual chef, you must have spiritual power, spiritual knowledge, and spiritual fire. To obtain these three corresponding abilities, you not only need the corresponding skills, but also rely on your own qualifications and efforts." Zhou Xuebin said. "Senior Zhou, as long as you can let me practice the exercises, I will definitely practice hard. Even if my qualifications are too poor and I am unable to practice, it is God's will and I will not feel resentful." Yan Nantian said. "Yeah." Zhou Xuebin responded, with a faint glint in his eyes. After being silent for an unknown amount of time, he slowly said: "Seeing how sensible you are, I can agree to your request, as long as you stay with me. Become a cook. In seven days, I will?Teach you spiritual power skills. " "Thank you, senior, for your support. I will definitely work hard." "Yan Nantian's face showed a look of joy, and he bowed and said. "Boy, there is no free lunch in the world. Don't be too happy first. If you want to obtain spiritual power, the premise is that you can stay with me for seven days. . "Zhou Xuebin shook his head slightly and said with a serious face: "If I feel that you are not suitable, I will let you leave at any time! " Wujiang Town, Yipinju. Although a few days have passed and the freshness of the tofu dishes has passed, Yipinju's business is still extremely hot. After all, even if only one person in a hundred wants to eat tofu, Wujiang With the town's large population, the business of Yipinju Restaurant will not be bad. At this time, just after lunch time, the guests of Yipinju also left one after another, and Yan Yunhua also walked out of the kitchen and prepared to go to the lobby. Take a rest here. Yan Yunhua is really happy that Yan Nantian can become Yuelaiju's cook. However, without Yan Nantian helping in the kitchen, Yan Yunhua can't do it alone. Fortunately, there is one person today. When he applied for a job as a chef, he was retained by Yan Yunhua to help him. This solved his urgent need and allowed the restaurant's business to run normally. Thinking of this, Yan Yunhua turned around and took a look. This man named Chen Banghe, Chen Banghe's cooking skills. Not bad, and he is also very hard-working. Yan Yunhua is quite satisfied with him and wants to keep him. ¡°Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work today. If it weren¡¯t for your help, I probably wouldn¡¯t be able to do it alone. "Yan Yunhua said. "You're welcome, Shopkeeper Yan. I followed you today and learned a lot. Speaking of this tofu ingredient, I have never seen it before. "Chen Banghe said. "Brother Chen, you have seen the situation of our Yipinju now. If you are willing to stay and work, I will pay you fifty taels of silver every month. "Yan Yunhua got straight to the point. "Shopkeeper Yan, the salary of fifty taels of silver is fine, but I'm not a native of Wujiang Town, and I don't have a place to live here. I wonder if you can help me solve the accommodation problem. "After hearing Yan Yunhua's words, Chen Banghe hesitated and said. "Accommodation? " Yan Yunhua was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin, looked in the direction of the second floor and said: "There is an empty room on the second floor of Yipinju, but it has been storing sundries and there is no bed. I don't know. Do you dislike it? " "No problem, I'll clean it up and lay the floor when the time comes. "Chen Banghe readily agreed and said. "Okay, then let's settle it. "Seeing Chen Banghe so happy, Yan Yunhua felt a little better and said. "Shopkeeper Yan, I will go back and clean up first. I will come to Yipinju to report formally tomorrow morning. "Chen Banghe stood up and said. "Well, I'll see you off. "After Yan Yunhua finished speaking, he patted Chen Banghe on the shoulder and personally sent him out of Yipinju. After leaving Yipinju, Chen Banghe walked towards the east side of Wujiang Town, walked for about half a stick of incense, and entered a In the alley, he stopped when he reached the second house in the alley. The door of this house was ajar. Chen Banghe looked around and saw that there was no one else nearby, so he opened the door and walked in. The size of the yard was large. It's not big. The ground is paved with gravel. There is a sapling planted on the right side and a stone table on the left. When the man saw Chen Banghe, he stood up quickly and couldn't wait. He asked: "Chen Banghe, how are things going? Can Old Man Yan let you stay in Yipinju?" "
