"My hands are thick and hard, with only brute force, and I can't even knead a piece of dough, let alone make snacks! If you don't dislike me, I dare not ask you to teach me!"
Master Li was amused. I wonder if he was suddenly touched by his thoughts, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was curled.
"To be honest, many snack techniques are left by our ancestors, and we can't create many things. The most regrettable thing in my life... should be that there is no successor."
Seeing that his expression was a little sad, Achao couldn't help but want to make him happy.
"No, right? You shouldn't be able to buy a high-end luxury house in the imperial capital? You shouldn't be building a villa in your hometown? You shouldn't have a pension of several million in your card when you retire?"
After hearing this, Master Li smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
"You don't understand. When you reach my age, you no longer have that desire for money and some external things... That... By the way, that word is called 'attachment'. You are not so persistent about those things, really
.If it weren't for my sons and grandchildren, I wouldn't have made such hard work to make money now. What I worry most is that the skills passed down by the masters have been lost in my hands... This kind of regret is really useless
Say it."
Achao thought for a while and blurted out: "What's the difficulty? When you retire, find a cooking school to attend classes, one class a day, or one class a day, and you can easily make money while teaching your apprentices.
If you come to teach one by one, it would be really hard. It would be different to go to class. There are a large number of people in the area. There are a group of people every year, and you will be taught every year, so you don’t have to worry at all!”
Master Li shook his head and explained: "That is to teach students, not to lead apprentices. In our career, we must learn skillfully and thoroughly, otherwise the things we make will lose our soul."
Achao doesn't understand much.
Master Li changed his words and said, "It's like you are a professional bodyguard, you can box and play weapons. What kind of boxing gyms are there, and there are some coaches in the gyms, but they are not professional enough and are not with you.
One level can’t be compared or you can’t compare. That’s different, do you understand?”
A Chao finally understood and said, "You are worried that the students you are leading are too poor, or that you can't learn the essence of dim sum skills at all."
"Yes...this is the reason." Master Li sighed helplessly: "Teach students, especially the school model. A teacher, dozens of students, teaches a dish, dozens of people and dozens of tastes-
——Nothing is what learning is! It’s not that good to take an apprentice. If you want to truly learn the essence of cooking, you have to bring it into the door, and then study hard and love it yourself, otherwise you won’t be able to learn it at all.
”
"That's too difficult." A Chao joked with a funny look: "Study hard and study hard? You have to love it twelve minutes? Fortunately, I was joking with you just now, otherwise you really nodded and I would have to give up in the end."
Master Li laughed and said, "As long as you work hard and grind an iron rod into a needle, you can still learn it as long as you study it carefully."
Achao thought for a while and asked: "If you don't need talent to study in this industry? You'll need it? Talented people will definitely learn everything quickly, and make it better and taste better."
"Yes, then there must be." Master Li nodded: "The main thing is that he has good smell and taste. In the vast world, everyone has it. People with strong smell and taste will definitely be more suitable for this industry."
Some people are naturally sensitive to hearing, some are naturally sensitive to colors, and some are naturally sensitive to taste. People with advantages in learning are talented people.
Master Li explained: "I used to be very good at tasting my tongue. As long as I have eaten, I can tell you what ingredients I used and how I made them. The master who taught me originally disliked me for not being smart enough, but later I saw you
I am still quite talented, but I finally agreed to teach me. People with talent can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Those without talent must have to put in more effort than others."
"I don't feel good about my taste." A Chao chuckled: "And I don't pick on food. I just eat whatever I have. Just fill my stomach. Of course, the food cooked in the big kitchen has always been delicious. I have been used to eating in recent years.
, occasionally I took my wife and children out for food on holidays, saying that it was to improve the food, but I always felt that it was not as delicious as Master Li made. However, for the sake of my wife and children, I still had to go out to change my taste and feel the atmosphere."
Master Li smiled kindly and said, "You don't dislike me, otherwise I would have been fired long ago."
"By the way!" A Chao said quickly: "My senior sister has a good sense of smell! She can remember and recognize what she has smelled even after many years!"
"Really or not?" Master Li asked in confusion: "For many years? A taste? It should be a familiar taste, right?"
A Chao shook his head and shook his head, lowering his voice: "When my senior sister was very young, my master paid special attention to cultivating her facial features and flexibility. My senior sister's best sense of smell. I'll tell you an example, the real one
I never brag about it for a long time!”
"Oh!" Master Li urged: "Tell me."
A Chao said carefully: "Once, my master took her out to play, and a young woman cheated the old man's wallet next to her. She was too young at that time and didn't know what a fraudster was. Until later, the master explained to her clearly and said
Such a person is a criminal, and the police uncle will catch her. Unexpectedly, after a few years, the grown-up senior sister suddenly ran home and said that she happened to meet the woman on the way home from school, and then caught her
, and even arrested her to the police station. My master thought she remembered the woman's appearance. Unexpectedly, the senior sister said she couldn't remember her appearance, but she remembered her body odor a little special, so she remembered it in her mind. Even after several years, she
All can be remembered."
"That...that's really good." Master Li praised.
Achao gave a thumbs up and said excitedly: "That's good! My master was a little disbelief. Later, he asked a friend from the police station and said that the woman had given her a lot of explanations. She was indeed cheating in this city.
After a few old ladies’ money, my master finally believed it. In fact, most of the reason why my senior sister is so powerful is that she has a sharp facial features and high kung fu. She is quite talented in our industry. What a pity...
…What a pity.”
Master Li couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"Her arm was seriously injured." Li Chao sighed and said in a low voice: "I can't lift heavy objects, and my strength is not good."
Master Li asked in a slight question: "It's true? I didn't see it!"
"Of course I can't see it." A Chao explained: "She can still hold and lift it, but she can't use force. She has not been affected much in her daily life, but she can't do it if she works hard."
