Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

He Daqing's words surprised Nan Yi a little. Didn't the master chef accept the challenge for his own reputation? What other benefits did he want?

He thought about it and really didn't know what benefit he could give He Daqing, so he said: "Master He, what benefit do you want? Besides, I don't think this dish will necessarily lose to you. If you lose, what will you do?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "How about this, if I lose, I will go to the factory and propose that you at least be the deputy director of the canteen, how about that?"

Nan Yi said uncertainly: "As a canteen director, how can you have such great power and promote anyone you want? Why don't I believe it?"

Without waiting for He Daqing to speak, Luo Xiaofeng said, "Boy, you underestimated my uncle's influence in the steel mill. Let me tell you, in the entire canteen of the steel mill, my uncle's words are more effective than the factory director's. He said that he would definitely not be wrong if he made you the deputy director, and my uncle's words have never failed."

Ma Hua also said: "You dare to doubt my master, I think you don't want to stay in the cafeteria anymore?"

Seeing that both of He Daqing's apprentices said this, Nan Yi couldn't help but respect He Daqing as the canteen director even more in his heart.

So he said, "Okay, since everyone says so, then I believe you. But I'm going to lose, so as long as your request is not excessive, I will agree to it!"

He Daqing said, "Okay, my request is absolutely not excessive. As long as you lose, you can become my master and my apprentice like them. How about that?"

"What? You want me to be your apprentice! Then I want to see if you are qualified to be my master!"

Nan Yi looked at He Daqing in surprise. No matter how hard he scratched his head, he had never expected that He Daqing would make this request.

In fact, He Daqing had this idea after watching Nan Yi's knife skills, and after tasting the shredded potatoes he made, he became more convinced of this idea.

Originally, he planned to slowly win over Nan Yi and make him his disciple.

Who knew that Nan Yi would actually compete with him? Isn't that like someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy?

Ma Hua muttered, "I think highly of you when I ask you to become my master. You should know how many people in our kitchen want to become my master's disciples, but he didn't agree. You should be content."

He Daqing ignored the bickering of the few people there. He took the apron that Luo Xiaofeng handed to him and tied it on. Then he picked up two potatoes that were neither too big nor too small and began to peel and cut them into shreds, almost doing it in one go.

Nan Yi looked at the evenly thick and crystal clear potato shreds cut by He Daqing. His knife skills were obviously much better than his own.

Looking at He Daqing's cooking skills, it is simply pleasing to the eyes and dazzling.

When He Daqing put the shredded potatoes on a plate, even if he didn't eat them, the aroma could still reach his nostrils, making Nan Yi swallow his saliva.

Not only Nan Yi, but also Luo Xiaofeng and Ma Hua next to him, and several other chefs gathered over.

They were also impressed by He Daqing's exquisite craftsmanship, and now smelling the fragrance, they all wanted to go up and have a taste.

He Daqing took the chopsticks and took a bite to taste it, then said, "Well, it's just OK. There are less seasonings here today, otherwise it would taste better. You guys can try it too."

Then he handed the chopsticks to Nan Yi.

Nan Yi took a bite and tasted carefully to see the difference between this dish and the ones he made himself.

He took three bites in a row before stopping with his chopsticks when Luo Xiaofeng stopped him. Otherwise, he would have really tasted the whole dish.

After thinking about it for a while, Nan Yi suddenly knelt down in front of He Daqing and shouted, "Master, I accept defeat sincerely this time. I hope I can stay by your side in the future. Please give me more guidance."

Nan Yi's biggest hobby is cooking. He originally thought that his cooking skills were among the best, if not the best. However, after tasting He Daqing's dishes and watching He Daqing's cooking techniques, he realized that he still had a lot to learn.

As the saying goes, a wise man is a teacher.

At this time, Nan Yi did not dare to doubt He Daqing's cooking skills at all, and he was full of admiration for him.

This is exactly the effect He Daqing wants.

He helped Nan Yi up with a smile and said, "Alright, I don't have to be so particular here. As long as you are really willing to learn cooking, it's fine. From now on, you, Xiaofeng and Mahua are all brothers in the same school. You should get along well with each other."

"Your cooking skills are better than both of theirs. Give them more guidance when you have time. There are also your fellow apprentices in other cafeterias. When you have time, let Xiaofeng take you to meet them."

"I will teach you some new knowledge when I have the chance, and you must study hard then."

Nan Yi nodded and said, "I understand, Master. I will handle the relationship with my fellow apprentices well, don't worry."

Nan Yi was impressed by her cooking skills. Now Nan Yi no longer has the arrogant attitude he had when he first came. It can be said that he has made a 180-degree turn.

Luo Xiaofeng also came over and said, "Welcome Senior Brother Nan to join our big family. I'll need your guidance in the future."

Nan Yi is a little older than Sha Zhu, and not much older than Zhang Tieshao. Plus, his cooking skills are better than Luo Xiaofeng and the others, so Luo Xiaofeng simply calls him senior brother.

Ma Hua no longer had the angry expression he had at the beginning. He smiled and said, "Brother Nan, there are only three of us in the Third Canteen. You should teach me more. I am much worse than Brother Luo."

Nan Yi really liked this cheerful atmosphere.

He happily agreed to the requests of his two junior fellow apprentices.

Seeing that they were getting along well, He Daqing said, "Okay, Nan Yi just arrived, you guys explain some of the canteen rules to him in detail. I'll go back first if there's nothing else."

Nan Yi, Luo Xiaofeng, and Ma Hua sent He Daqing to the door and said in unison: "Master (Uncle Master), take care!"

Then the three of them returned to the kitchen happily. Luo Xiaofeng and Ma Hua began to pull Nan Yi aside and introduce him to some of the conditions in the steel mill kitchen. Of course, they talked more about He Daqing.

When Nan Yi found out that He Daqing was so powerful, he felt even more wise about his decision to become his disciple today.

At noon, Luo Xiaofeng asked Nan Yi to start cooking the big pot instead of Lao Wu.

For Nan Yi, who has been cooking big pot dishes for several years, this is a piece of cake.

Moreover, the big pot dishes made by Nan Yi were praised by all the workers who had lunch at noon, and even Luo Xiaofeng felt inferior to him.

This also means that Nan Yi has completely established his foothold in the steel rolling mill.

In the afternoon, Luo Xiaofeng took Nan Yi to visit several other cafeterias and got to know his other fellow brothers.

After knowing that Nan Yi's cooking skills were better than Luo Xiaofeng's, Sha Zhu was eager to compete with Nan Yi.

You know, some of his home-cooked dishes are not as good as those made by Luo Xiaofeng.

It turns out that Sha Zhu became so good because he studied Tan family cuisine for a period of time and had some secret recipes and seasonings of his own.

But now he follows He Daqing all day long and has indeed learned a lot.

So Sha Zhu felt a little unbalanced at the moment and wanted to compete with Nan Yi.
