Chapter 62 Half Master
The last sentence was meant for her, and only she could hear it. However, Li Erya calmly said that his handwriting was not good, and asked Hu Shaojing if he could write a receipt or contract for him.
"Yes, although Hu's handwriting is not as good as that of famous artists, he can still write receipts and so on." Hu Shaojing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that she could read, and then he realized it and said modestly.
"It seems I don't need your help anymore." Li Erya looked at Shen Muyin with a smile on his face.
Shen Muyin felt ignored. Although she was looking at herself, there was no place for her in her eyes or even in her heart.
After hesitating, the two of them had already walked out of the door. He felt that his legs were weighing a thousand pounds and he could not move any further. He could only watch their backs disappear before his eyes.
Shen Qingrou, who had hid in the house, walked out with her head in the air, took a sneak peek outside, and then closed the door.
"Why did that young master come to see that girl?" Shen Qingrou curled her lips and said with a bit of disdain, disdainful of Li Erya's indifference to public appearances.
"But she actually made a hundred taels for one dish, tsk tsk." Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Qingrou said again, with a bit of sourness in her tone.
"That's her ability." Shen Muyin looked at her. In the end, he still couldn't bear to say a harsh word, but he just vaguely reminded her not to underestimate others.
"Who doesn't know how to cook? It doesn't matter. She was just lucky and saved Mrs. Hu's life. Maybe they paid a hundred taels to buy the house just for the sake of saving her life." Shen Qing Rou said disapprovingly.
Shen Muyin was quite helpless. She couldn't see the value of a dish, let alone the value of Li Erya himself. This was not something he could change overnight.
Besides, Li Erya followed Hu Shaojing into the back kitchen of Jixiang Building. There was only one chef left in the kitchen. She had seen this person before, and he was the one who learned to make jelly from Sun Ji.
The chef's surname is Fang. His ancestor's house was hit by a flood, and he was the only one left to survive. Later, he sold himself to the Hu family and became a domestic slave of the Hu family. By the time Fang met him, he was already the third generation.
Because he had some talent in cooking, Mr. Hu arranged for him to work as a cook in Jixiang Building. Within three years, he became a chef who could stand alone.
A person who is talented and valued is somewhat arrogant, so when Hu Shaojing brought Li Erya in, he was somewhat disapproving.
Li Erya still showed her friendliness disapprovingly. During her college years, she worked many jobs, one of which was working as a helper in the kitchen.
Speaking of making braised meat, she also learned it from a master. Perhaps because of her professional relationship, she could probably tell the weight of the seasonings when the chef took a handful of them.
Maybe because she was working part-time and a college student, the chef didn't hide it. After working for a while, she figured out the chef's so-called exclusive recipe. She tried it once or twice at home and came out with the braised food. The taste was no different from the one made in the store, so she knew she was right.
This is probably her talent. Fang Yuzhi is proud of herself, and she is more peaceful. Perhaps it is because Fang Yu has the Hu family to rely on behind him. Even though he is a domestic slave, she has nothing to rely on behind. .
She is like this, and so is Huang Xingye. The Shen family is different. Shen Nanzhou still has a network of former connections behind him. The two brothers Shen Muci also have a huge family. They are talented and will fall into the eyes of the family head again at any time.
At this moment, even though she was a master, she had no intention of putting on airs. She just told Fang Yu the recipe in an easy-going manner and asked him to make it himself while she watched from the sidelines to see if he made any mistakes.
Fang Yu was very smart and only made two small mistakes. It was quite easy for her to be a master.
However, it was those two small mistakes that made Fang Yu dare not underestimate Li Erya. He did not expect that she, a little girl, had such vicious eyes, and could see even the slightest difference.
Hu Shaojing watched with sadness. In fact, when he ate the braised food, he asked Fang Yu to try making it, but the braised food he made was not as delicious as Li Erya's.
He gave Fang Yu three days, but Fang Yu's cooking was always slightly lacking. He had no choice but to look for Li Erya's, but he didn't expect that the problem lay in the order of cooking.
This little problem cost him a hundred taels of silver, and Hu Shaojing suddenly felt a little painful.
He originally thought that Li Erya wanted the lion to open his mouth. Although he had this understanding, he still got her wish. Hu Shaojing praised her a few words sourly, but still didn't want to let her go, "Why don't you communicate again?
I'm afraid he won't be able to change his mind and will fail your guidance."
Fang Yu lowered his head in shame and did not dare to say a word.
"Do you feel like you're at a disadvantage? How about I teach you another grilled fish dish." Li Erya grinned. She also felt that accepting a hundred taels was a bit excessive, so she said generously.
Hu Shaojing's eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly, "Yes, yes, you, learn carefully, and be respectful when you see her in the future, she can be half of your master."
Li Erya burst into laughter, and her half-master continued to talk, asking Fang Yu, a master disciple, to handle the fish according to her instructions.
Someone knocked on the door, and it was the shopkeeper who came to tell Hu Shaojing that a customer asked them if Jixiang Restaurant had new dishes and if the customers could try them too.
"Yes, of course I can, but the price must be determined first." Hu Shaojing looked at the braised food and smiled, his heart no longer aching.
"Since it is a new dish, we are not in a hurry to set a price, but we can allow customers to try it for free. The one with the highest price will get it, and the one with the lowest price can be used as a reference for pricing." Li Erya pointed to the limited braised food and reminded kindly.
Hu Shaojing and the shopkeeper looked at each other in confusion, and after understanding the meaning of her words, he suddenly slapped his head, "This is a good idea, hurry up, just do as she said."
"Hey." The shopkeeper immediately asked someone to bring the dishes out and make arrangements.
The outside soon became lively, and Hu Shaojing couldn't help but go out to watch the excitement. When he came back, his mouth never closed, "I never thought in my wildest dreams that pig offal could be sold for ten taels of silver per dish."
"Please, seasonings don't cost money? Firewood doesn't cost money? Other things don't cost money, but although the cost is not that high if you make more, it's better to supply it in limited quantities, and the brine can also be reused." Li Erya
I don't think so, but it's not really a price.
"You are right, everything you said is right, and you, I will remember it all." Hu Shaojing nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to warn Fang Yu.
"I have remembered everything, young master." Fang Yu said humbly, his mind still focused on the grilled fish, and he did not dare to make any more mistakes.
The shopkeeper came again soon, saying that another customer asked if there were any new dishes. He said this while secretly glancing at Fang Yu's back.
