Chapter 26 The Leftover Test

When the girl saw Xue Chang appearing, she said happily, "Great, you finally woke up, thank you for saving me today!"

"With his little ability, he can't even save himself, so he can save you! If I hadn't appeared in time to scare away Tang and his subordinates, he would have gone to see Lord Hades long ago!" said the fat man dissatisfied.

"Hmph, how dare you show up in time?! If he hadn't bravely stopped the carriage, I would have been taken out of town by the villains by the time you got there!" the girl retorted immediately.

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Xue Chang suppressed a smile, stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for saving your life!"

The fat man took over the conversation: "You little baby should thank me. You were hit by a hidden weapon in your acupoints and invaded into your body by Tang's inner strength. Although it was not much, it was enough to damage your meridians. If I hadn't Help, how can you stand up and walk so quickly. Also, you hit the wall and broke two ribs. I also connected you and put bandages on you. I helped you so much. Tell me, How can you thank me?"

Xue Chang was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the other party would ask for a return so directly.

"Old man, he is my savior, how can you talk like that!" the girl shouted dissatisfied.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Didn't you say that it's not safe to be short of staff in the store? Now I've found a helper for you." The fat man supported the table with one hand, stared at Xue Chang, and said in a buzzing voice: " Boy, you can continue to recuperate in my shop, but what do you think if you want to help me with some work?" It seemed that Xue Chang would throw him out of the shop if he didn't agree.

In fact, this request is beneficial to Xue Chang. After all, he is injured now and can't go anywhere, but he didn't agree immediately, but asked, "Excuse me, where is the kid who was with me now?"

"You're talking about that little beggar, right?" The fat man said nonchalantly, "I'm annoyed at the crying and making noise and insisting on staying by your side, so I drove him out of the door. I'm telling you, you're not very good at it." So, dare to accept disciples, isn't this misleading disciples!"

Xue Chang ignored him, and politely said to the girl: "He should still be outside, can you call him in for me?"

Without saying a word, the girl stood up and went to open the door.

With a sound of "creak", the door opened and the light came in. Now Xue Chang could clearly see the appearance of the fat man in front of him: a big bald head, a shiny scalp, a big round face with oily shine, eyes that were not too big or small, but round, and a mouth. Big and thick, with a nose that doesn't look like a garlic head, and eyebrows that are sparse and completely white, it can be seen that he is at least over half a century old.The upper body is round like a ball, the neck is short, and it is almost invisible under the cover of fat. It looks like a big ball against a small ball... It looks quite festive.

"Master, are you alright?!" Xu Xi ran in happily.

"It's nothing serious, the injury is basically healed." Xue Chang comforted him, but his eyes stayed on the dog Fan standing by the door, then pointed to him, and said to the girl, "Please let him in too."

The girl looked back at Fan Gou'er, and remembered that when she got out of the carriage, the young man was holding a slingshot and standing next to Xue Chang who fell to the ground, so she waved to him without hesitation.

Fan Gou'er looked happy and strode into the store.

"The three of us will work for you until I recover from my injury." Xue Chang said to Fatty Geng.

"Three people?!" Fatty Geng yelled, "I don't need so many people in this shop, two are enough, three are too many, it's a waste of food!"

The girl couldn't help but wanted to speak again, but Xue Chang preempted her: "I heard that there is a rule in this restaurant, as long as you can cook dishes that you haven't tasted, you can eat here for free for a month. not real?"

"Of course it's true!" Fatty Geng looked him up and down, showing disdain: "Are you going to cook me a dish that I haven't eaten before? I think it's better to forget it, don't look at you as a beggar, but But it has thin skin and tender flesh, it doesn't look like someone who has done rough work, don't waste my ingredients."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Xue Chang said confidently, "You're not just talking, you never intend to fulfill your promise."

"I, Geng Po, spit and nail each other, and I always keep my word!" Fatty Geng chopped off his feet angrily: "Tell me, what kind of dishes do you want, and I will prepare the ingredients for you."

"Let me keep the name of the dish secret first." Xue Chang put his hands up, and said without any stage fright: "But you have to prepare the ingredients for me first, a live grass carp that weighs at least a catty, a catty of bean sprouts, egg white... No, just an egg, a handful of shallots, a few pieces of garlic, a large piece of ginger, salt, a large handful of Chinese prickly ash, is there any chili?"

"I've never heard of it, what is that?" Geng Po asked back.

Xue Chang scratched his head: It seems that this life is the same as the previous life, the chili is still far away in America, and has not yet been introduced to China.

He had to ask: "Usually you want to eat spicy food, what seasoning do you use?"

"You don't even know this, yet you still dare to boast that you can cook good food!" Geng Po's eyes widened.

"Whether I know how to cook or not, you'll know when the dishes are ready." Xue Chang responded without showing any weakness.

At this time, the girl interjected: "The seasonings that make food spicy are mainly mustard and cornel, but since you are cooking fish, it is best to use cornel, because it can remove the fishy smell."

"Then let's have a handful of dogwood, expect...do you have rice wine?"

"It's such a luxury for you to be a fish, and you still need to drink!" Geng Po couldn't help but choked again.

"What drink? I used it to season the fish. It seems that you don't have it either. Forget it—"

"Yes, I have! Girl, go and get the half jar of Jiangnan rice wine I put in the wine cellar, I want to see what kind of food you can make!"

"Soybean flour—forget it, it must not be available. Is there vegetable oil?"

"It seems that you are really from a wealthy family. It would be nice to have lard in ordinary restaurants, but I do have it here. It meets your requirements. Tell me what else you need."

"Doubanjiang—no, is there any tempeh?"

"Yes, I made fermented soybeans with my own hands. There is no better one in Mianzhou."

"Uh... basically that's all, nothing else."

"Okay, you go catch fish with me first. You two little guys follow the girl's orders and go and prepare everything else he said." Geng Po was straightforward, and immediately assigned the task and brought Xue Changchuan Go through the corridor and come to the backyard.

Xue Chang did not expect that there was a large open space in the backyard of this restaurant, paved with fired bricks and stones, the ground was hard and flat, and there was a pool near the courtyard wall. Pole dipped the net, glanced into the pool, and asked, "Do you want grass carp?"

"Yes." As soon as Xue Chang finished speaking, he saw Geng Po holding the net in his hand, and with a flash of lightning, there was a lively fish in the net bag woven with fine hemp rope.

Geng Po stretched out his fingers to hook the fish's gills, picked it up and said, "It's two and a half catties, is it enough?"

"enough."

Then the two came to the kitchen next to the backyard, where the others had prepared the ingredients and were waiting here.

The size of this kitchen is not small, there are four stoves, and it is relatively clean, which does not match the small store outside.

After Xue Chang looked around the kitchen carefully, he reached out to tie a long apron hanging on the wall, rolled up his sleeves, and asked Xu Xi to scoop up a spoonful of water to wash his hands and then the cutting board... …

Geng Po watched all he did, his stern face stretched a little.

Xue Chang carefully looked at the various kitchen knives in the knife rack nailed to the wall, and finally picked out a relatively slender knife with a sharp blade, washed it with clean water, and placed it beside the cutting board. .Grab the grass carp with his left hand and press it on the cutting board. The fish was still shaking its head and tail.

Xue Chang began to scale the fish.

After a while, Geng Po couldn't help but sneered again: "Can you cook a fish? You don't even know how to scrape the fish scales. Look, the fish skin looks like rags."

"Don't worry about how well I shaved, anyway, you will know whether it tastes good after I finish it." Xue Chang retorted a little guilty. He did cook a lot of fish in the past, but most of them were handled by fishmongers. , Take it home and do it directly. The experience of scraping fish scales and cutting fish by yourself is really lacking.
