God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 757 Apprenticeship
A few days later, Dai Jinyun sighed in his heart: Not everyone can do being a pig, even those who are not talented and intelligent!
The reason is that Du He has very high requirements for making pigs. He must not only be able to do it, but also know how to do it, and finally do it well.

To be able to do it requires the person who makes the pig to be able to reach the level of a chef, and have the ability to distinguish all kinds of meat, raw materials, and spices.

To be able to do it is to have a certain amount of research on pork, know the combination of fat and lean, and know how to control the heat when stewing meat.

It is the most difficult thing to do well. People who ask to be pigs, on the basis of Dongpo stewed meat, invent various pork dishes.

After doing this well, Dai Jinyun found that it was difficult for him to stand up to Du He.

For a period of time, Du He has successively invented pork dishes such as double-cooked pork, braised pork, and stir-fried vegetables with minced meat, while Dai Jinyun is still researching with a pot of stewed meat.

Dai Jinyun felt very depressed.

At this time, Du He would pat him on the shoulder and say: "Xiao Dai, don't be discouraged, a great man once said that nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart, and everything is most afraid of being serious."

After getting along for a while, Du He directly changed Dai Jinyun's address from Brother Dai to Xiao Dai.Because he found that although this guy was a few years older than himself, he was terrible in every way, he was just a younger brother.

Dai Jinyun completed and became Du He's little follower, and he firmly believed in what Du He said.

Therefore, he only slept for two hours a day, and spent the rest of the time studying how to cook. After cooking a dish, he tried it himself. For this reason, he was poisoned 36 times, and he fell into a coma three times, thanks to the medicine king. Sun Simiao came from Chang'an for medical treatment and recovered, but this guy is like crazy, he doesn't have a long memory, and before his body fully recovered, he devoted himself to the research and development of pork delicacies.

And Li Ke, King of Shu, who was bandaged because he was attacked by a big black pig, the greatest pleasure every day is to visit the county government office to see Dai Jinyun's pork dishes. If it was not poisonous, he would try it himself, if it was delicious, he would praise Dai Jinyun, if it was unpalatable, he would have someone beat Dai Jinyun, and then walk away.

Under such circumstances, every time Dai Jinyun cooks a dish, he is very careful, for fear of being beaten.

In this way, his culinary skills improved quite quickly.

A month later.

Dai Jinyun has made great progress. Not only has he completely mastered every dish invented by Du He, but he has also invented several dishes creatively. The cooks brought by the group have fallen behind, and now Du He and Li Ke only eat dishes cooked by Dai Jinyun.

On this day, Du He was discussing with Lu Yuan about the construction of Anhu Avenue in the backyard.

Dai Jinyun walked into the courtyard and saw Du He was busy, but he stood obediently aside. It wasn't until Lu Yuan left that he stepped forward and said solemnly, "County Lord, I have a bold idea."

Du He was no stranger to this.

During this time, Dai Jinyun had too many bold ideas.

For example, boiling young pigs alive, eating raw pork slices, etc., each item is enough to shock the world.

He nodded: "Tell me, what other fantastic ideas do you have?"

Dai Jinyun shook his head: "Master, this time, I didn't want to make pork, I just wanted... I want to worship you as my teacher."

"What?"

Du He was stunned.

Dai Jinyun explained: "Jin Yun's achievements today are all due to the gift of the county magistrate. If the county magistrate does not let me serve as the deputy captain of the pig catching brigade to go all over the county to buy pigs, I will definitely not regret it. I don’t know what I want to do. How could I have learned so many ways to make pork if the county magistrate hadn’t taught me how to do it? And I recently discovered that everything in this world is connected by analogy. There are many ways to make pork and meat. In the same way, I understand many principles of life, and I also understand the principles of sages' books, and these are all given to me by the county magistrate. The county magistrate is like recreating a teacher to me. If I don't worship you as my teacher , I feel uneasy, and hope the county magistrate will do it!"

As he spoke, he gave a deep bow.

Du He counted with his fingers, he seemed to have several disciples now.

Yuan Qingfeng, Lu Hao, Li Ke... Changsun Chong's cheating is not counted, he is a bastard who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors.

Only three.

is a little less.

Although Dai Jinyun looks dull, he is actually smart, otherwise he wouldn't have perfected the skill of making pork in more than a month.

Du He thought for a while, raised his head, and said, "Xiao Dai, do you know the rules of my school?"

Dai Jinyun replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu mentioned that once you enter the master's school, you will never be able to betray the master, and everything will be obeyed by the master. Otherwise, you will have your legs broken and sent to Lantian to dig coal."

"You may accept?"

"Teacher, don't worry, I, Dai Jinyun, have entered the division, and I will do my best to do things for the master. If I dare to betray the division, I don't need the teacher to take action. I will cut off my legs and dig coal." Dai Jinyun said seriously.

Du He nodded: "Since that's the case, I will accept you as a disciple."

Swish.

Dai Jinyun was overjoyed, knelt down on the ground with a puff, and earnestly kowtowed to Du He three times: "Master, please be respected by the students."

Du He hurriedly got up and helped him up: "Jin Yun, from today onwards, we are a family, master and apprentice are like father and son, and I am your father. You must carry forward your knowledge of cooking, and don't lose it. Master's face..."

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the knowledge of cooking and not lose face of the teacher." Dai Jinyun said emotionally. The teacher said that he is my father, but he didn't treat me as an outsider.

He was very happy.

Du He patted Dai Jinyun on the shoulder and said: "You can be regarded as my student. However, as a teacher, you are an authentic Confucian. I used to talk and laugh with Master Confucius and Master Yan. I am the most respectful of etiquette. Therefore, this ceremony of worshiping a teacher It can’t be less, such as the six rituals and so on, you know what I mean.”

Dai Jinyun hurriedly said: "Teacher, I understand, I'm going to prepare for the six rituals."

It is difficult for ordinary people to practice the six rituals, but for Dai Jinyun, it is a piece of cake.

The so-called six rituals are longan, dates, celery, red beans and pork strips.

Dai Jinyun turned to leave, but was grabbed by Du He: "No, you didn't understand me!"

"Ah? What does the teacher mean?"

Du He said solemnly: "The meaning of being a teacher is that this etiquette has been observed for thousands of years, and it should be changed. The six rituals are just a proxy. When you enter my teacher, you have to follow my rules. , It’s good to just exchange the apprenticeship ceremony for money, and it’s not much. As a teacher, you lost your father when you were young, and you don’t have much money in your family, so I will charge you [-] guan. Of course, it’s okay if you don’t pay, as long as But...forget it, as a teacher, he treats every student equally, for example, Changsun Chong, that bastard, he only gave two thousand guan as apprenticeship money, and being a teacher only broke his leg."

Dai Jinyun: "..."

His mind suddenly became a little confused.
