Demon in the world

At seven o'clock in the morning, Wen Renchu ​​sat down in front of the sofa on time. When he opened the newspaper to browse, he didn't want to see such a new news: the industry's gourmet experts gathered in Yuemanlou; !

There are two high-definition pictures below, one is the luxurious and grand scene at that time, and the other is Du Shiwei hugging the little apprentice intimately.

The boy was wearing a well-tailored black suit, with fair skin and delicate facial features, his eyes were a little shy and he didn't dare to look directly at the camera, and the red mole under his eyes, like dripping blood, made people even more impressed.

A layer of anger gathered in Wen Renchu's eyes, he crumpled the newspaper and threw it aside, picked up his mobile phone and made a call, "I don't want to see news about Du Shiwei in any media recently, you can do it now... …immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, he tugged on his tie, draped his coat over his arm and walked out.

"Master, where are you going? Breakfast is ready."

"Sorry Aunt Xue, I don't have any appetite right now, I have to go out first."

Facing his back, Aunt Xue hesitated to speak, picked up the newspaper and unfolded it when she was clearing the table, read it for a while before she was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, isn't this child Ah Jiu, he is really promising, and it's all in the newspaper! I have to put it away..."

I don't know if it's because of his relationship with him, the more Du Shiwei looks at Ah Jiu, the more pleasing to his eyes.

In addition to asking Master Yu to teach him some basic common sense, he also took the time to make a study schedule.

"Basic knife skills for half a month, fancy knife skills for a week, preliminary processing for half a month..." Just as she was thinking to herself whether the progress was too fast, the phone rang.

"Hello...yes, I'm Du Shiwei, what? Please make it clear...whose meaning is this? Prince? You let him come to me by himself!" Du Shiwei hung up the phone mercilessly.

After waiting for about 2 minutes, the phone rang again. Du Shiwei looked at the caller ID blankly, but didn't have the slightest intention to answer it.

After the bell rang and automatically hung up, the other party called again, and Du Shiwei answered lazily, "Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Mr. Du, I'm Wenrenchu."

"Oh," Du Shiwei said in an exaggerated voice, "Could it be that the sky is about to collapse? You even bothered the prince to call me personally."

Wen Renchu ​​listened to her taunting, "I was wrong just now, sorry."

"No, I can't bear to ask you to apologize to me." Du Shiwei turned the pencil quickly in his hand, "Come on, why do you want to meddle in my affairs? Or you and that child..."

"No, please don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with him."

"It's okay?" Du Shi smiled, "I've always wanted a [-] mobile phone, why don't you see someone respecting it? It's well known, I remember you were not so dishonest before."

"Teacher, I..."

"I don't want to hear lies."

Wen Renchu ​​was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I don't know how to tell you. He grew up with a monk in Qingcheng Mountain since he was a child. He has never had contact with the outside world, and he has no relatives. It is my family Xue. Auntie brought him to Yudu, so I don't want to..."

Du Shiwei interrupted him, "I don't believe you are so kind. Say, what purpose do you have for that child?"

"What answer does the teacher want from me?" Wen Ren asked her calmly, "He is still a child who doesn't understand anything, so what can I get from him?"

Du Shiwei seemed to be caught by his question, and smiled, "OK, I don't need to ask about the relationship between you. However, I don't think media exposure is a kind of harm to him. You have never experienced obscurity, and you are not I will understand how rare these opportunities are for ordinary people. What's more, he will always grow up in the future, and there are still many unknown things waiting for him to experience in life. You can't always pave the way for him to eradicate dissidents. Let him live in fairy tales for the rest of his life."

"The teacher has no right to say such things to me, right? Before doing these things, have you asked him what he thinks? Is the dazzling aura imposed on him to satisfy his own selfish desires or to let him grow truly? ?”

Du Shi's smile faded away, and she looked at the phone and said angrily: "Are you talking to the teacher?!"

Wen Renchu ​​immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, I, Du Shiwei, will never force anyone. I will go to him later to find out what he really thinks. Is this okay?"

Wen Renchu ​​seemed relieved, "Thank you teacher."

"Hmph." Du Shi sneered and hung up the phone, "The brat is getting more and more arrogant!"

Although he has already worshiped as a teacher, Ah Jiu has never been able to get close to Du Shiwei.Maybe it was because of her gender, or maybe it was because of her pungent and straightforward personality, which made him unable to give up the awe in his heart.

Du Shiwei was keenly aware of something in the eyes of his young apprentice, so he put on a very gentle attitude, "Ah Jiu, come and tell me the truth, did you like the incident about the full moon building yesterday?"

If you look closely, this little apprentice of hers really can't be simply described in two words. Her eyes are as moist as black pearls, her eyelashes are curled and long, her cheeks are as tender as tofu that is about to ooze out, her lips are red and her teeth are white.No wonder those reporters kept taking pictures of him yesterday, and they pestered me afterwards to ask if they planned to let him enter the entertainment industry.

Ah Jiu asked: "Master, do you want to listen to the truth?"

"Nonsense!" After realizing that his voice was too loud, he softened instantly, "Of course it's the truth."

Only then did Ah Jiu say: "I don't like it, I just think of delicious dishes."

Du Shi was a little discouraged, "Don't you want to be famous? People know you everywhere you go, and you can do the same thing to get more money..."

Ah Jiu shook his head, "Master said that the four elements are all empty, all things that are active, and fame and fortune are all vain."

Sure enough, he seemed to have come out of a monastery. Seeing his seriously serious appearance, Du Shiwei couldn't help laughing, "Then what do you want?"

Ah Jiu bit her lower lip and smiled, showing a very happy look, and whispered, "Cook for brother."

"You...have a brother?" Didn't it mean that he didn't have any relatives?

"Well, my brother is very good."

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Du Shiwei's mind, and he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Could it be because Wen Renchu ​​sent you a mobile phone?"

"Of course not!" Ah Jiu immediately denied, seeing Du Shiwei's shocked expression immediately reacted, "Master..."

Du Shiwei's expression quickly adjusted, and he handed over the printed class schedule, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. You should look at this first, and if you have any problems, bring them up before you get off work today."

After Ah Jiu left, Du Shiwei fell into deep thought.According to her understanding of Wen Renchu, he is definitely not a nosy person, and Ah Jiu calls him brother... What is the relationship between these two people?

After much deliberation, there was no answer, so he simply breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it, let young people do their own thing."

At first, Du Shiwei thought that the class was too rushed, but when she was next to her to guide Ah Jiu's homework, she realized that her worry was unnecessary, and Master Yu's previous praise was definitely not groundless.

In just half a month, whether it is straight, push, pull, saw, press, hob cut, or flat, pull, oblique, reverse knife batch, Ajiu can use every kind of knife method flexibly, and the exact same food is cut out in the same size The error will never exceed ±5um, and the action is clean and never returns to the knife.

Even the flower knives, which ordinary chefs don't pay much attention to, have been mastered by Ah Jiu.

Du Shiwei grew up surrounded by praise and praise, and his requirements were naturally stricter than ordinary people, but it seemed that he couldn't find anything wrong with this little apprentice.

"The lychee flower knife can only be pushed forward and cannot be drawn back. The knife distance is 0.3cm, and the knife depth is four-fifths of the ingredients. It's hard to form if it's broken." Seeing that he failed to cut repeatedly, Du Shiwei pointed out aloud.

Hearing the sound, Ah Jiu immediately changed the knife, cut ten slices of squid meat horizontally and vertically, picked it up with chopsticks, and threw it into the boiling water.

Du Shiwei clasped his hands in front of his chest and nodded in satisfaction, "Next is the Willow Leaf Flower Knife..."

As time passed, Ah Jiu's cutting speed became faster and more stable.

Although he is currently the second chef of Master Yu, his knife skills have won unanimous praise from everyone. Whether it is Wensi tofu or fried shredded pork, Ah Jiu can cut it out steadily.

Master Yu had time to joke about the apprentice who joined the kitchen with Ah Jiu, "Did you see that? This is the vision of the head chef. It is difficult for ordinary people to reach this height even in ten years or a lifetime, let alone half a month."

The little apprentice curled his lips, "Isn't it just a shredded tofu? If I follow the head chef, I can do it too."

Master Yu sneered, "If you are like this now, even if you find a good master, you will definitely not surpass Ah Jiu."

"Why?" The little apprentice was extremely unconvinced.

Master Yu said: "I still don't believe it! Ah Jiu is free now, you can go and see his hands and you will know, go."

The little apprentice walked forward holding his breath, "Ah Jiu, let me see your hand."

"Which one do you want to see?" Ah Jiu wiped his hands in confusion, spreading both hands over.

The palm that should have been as white as jade was now covered with knife wounds, and the tiger's mouth had turned dark yellow due to the long-term contact with the handle of the knife. The apprentice touched his hand, but he did not find a single intact finger. All have cocoons.

The little apprentice was stunned: "Are you... in pain?"

"Now it doesn't hurt anymore. At the beginning, I was always cut, and I still have cramps when I sleep at night."

"I don't give you more wages, what are you doing so desperately!"

"I like cooking," Ah Jiu pulled back his hand and smiled, "My previous master once said that you should practice the knife until it becomes a part of your body, so that you won't cut yourself. He is amazing, he can Cut the minced meat directly with your hands!"

The little apprentice twitched his mouth, "What's the use of that? Doesn't it taste the same when you cut it on the chopping board and fry it with your hands?"

"It's different," Ah Jiu said solemnly: "The same ingredients, if they have been exposed to different things, such as knives, chopping boards, water, or even air, the dishes cooked will be different."

"I think I'll just wash dishes for the rest of my life." The little apprentice walked away resentfully.

When passing by Master Yu, I heard him laughing and saying: "Now you know? It's useless to rely on luck or cleverness. The knife skills are all based on hard work. There is no shortcut. I went to Ah Jiu's to borrow water for a drink at night. , it's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and people are still shredding radishes in the kitchen!"

The little apprentice didn't say anything this time.

"Brother, today the master taught me how to cook with fire, and now I have started to learn how to cook."

No matter how big or small, Ah Jiu sent messages to Wen Renchu ​​every day.Because he bought books specifically for learning spelling, he now has very few typos.

Most of the time, he spoke unilaterally, and Wen Renchu ​​rarely responded.

However, there are occasional exceptions, such as a finger being cut, and another time when the knife fell and almost hit the foot...

Wen Renchu ​​would call in time after getting the news. Although there were only a few short greetings, it seemed to have the effect of healing and relieving pain for Ah Jiu.

The six major things in life are food, housing, transportation, entertainment, travel, and shopping, with food as the first.The seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, are all related to the mouth.

Fried, stir-fried, stewed, stewed... Ajiu is gradually addicted to this delicious world and can't help herself.

The simplest ingredients, through the hands of different chefs, are like magic, showing different shapes and flavors, blooming a flower of life that makes diners crazy.

If at first he was simply curious about cooking, now he has become interested in this field, and he seems to understand more and more what Master Cai means by cooking.

"The defrosting time of the pork chops is too short, the oil temperature is too high, the seasoning is put in too late and the portion is too large, the outer burnt inside is too salty, and there is also a problem with using this secondary oil..." Du Shiwei said, pouring the vegetables into the pot mercilessly Trash, "do it again."

"But Master, wouldn't this be too wasteful?" It should be able to be eaten after reprocessing...

Du Shiwei usually doesn't smile when teaching, or is very serious, "If you don't want to waste, you should do every link with your heart. Guests will not tolerate the chef's mistakes for inexplicable reasons."

Ah Jiu clenched his fist, "Yes."

"Never take chances. That's why some chefs can only cook snacks in food stalls all their lives, while some chefs enjoy life in luxury cars and BMWs. If you just want to cook some food to fill your stomach, it is purely in the There is no need to be a chef if you waste ingredients."

"Yes."

When he reached the door, Du Shiwei was stopped by Master Yu, "Chef, are you being too strict with that child?"

The person concerned didn't notice it, raised his eyebrows and said, "If I am strict with him, I am responsible for myself. What's more, what kind of strictness is this level?"

Because this soft and sticky little apprentice is very popular with her, she has tried to adopt the gentlest education method.

Back then... Even Wen Renchu, who was called the prince, was scolded bloody by himself!

But having said that, the difference between the so-called two brothers is really not that big.

Ah Jiu never defended herself when she was scolded, her round eyes were always open, her eyebrows were drooping, and her cute and pitiful appearance made it difficult for her to speak harshly.

As for that boy Wen Renchu, every time he waited until she was about to vent, he began to calmly refute one by one. It is no wonder that he studied law, and his logic was clear and his language was orderly. I've finished cursing, and it's just a cheesy talk... In those days, what Du Shiwei hated the most was the phrase 'green out of blue is better than blue'.

Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of a fun prank, took out her phone and cleared her throat.

"Hello, teacher, what can you do for me?"

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do? Now I am upset and want to chat with my good student..."

Wenren Chu said: "Teacher is not so boring."

"Okay," Du Shi could not help but raise the corner of his mouth, "I just scolded my little apprentice to tears, what do you think should I do now?"
