“Did you make this yourself?” Master GE asked.
Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative. When they were communicating just now, they found that Yuan Zhou knew how to make black pottery. It was just that he lacked a guide from the system and thus had learned more complicated things.
At that time, master GE had already felt that Yuan Zhou was a rare talent in learning black pottery. However, no matter how much he speculated, he was still shocked when he saw the real thing.
However, if he knew that Yuan Zhou had reached such a level after only learning for a few days, he would probably be as excited as Wen feizhi. How did such a good seedling become a chef?
What Yuan Zhou brought was the black pottery utensil that he had made with the authentic red clay these days. It was a simple soup pot.
With master GE’s eyesight, he could naturally see that the soup pot was relatively rough. At a glance, he knew that the person who made it was a novice. However, from the smooth lines and the spiritual shape, he could see the craftsman’s ingenuity.
“It’s my work of practice. I wanted to show it to master GE. Please forgive me for not doing it well.” Yuan Zhou said honestly.
“It’s very good. I think it’s good. ” Master ju also got closer.
He felt that this was much better than the first time his disciple had done it.
“Indeed. Although the technique used to mix the soil wasn’t on point, resulting in the quality of the soil not being very good, it’s still very good for someone who’s doing it for the first time. Master Yuan has already done very well.” Master GE said with certainty.
“No, I still have a lot of things to learn. There are still many cracks here. It should be a problem when I was firing.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the inconspicuous traces on the soup bowl.
Although he couldn’t find the reason, he knew that there must be a reason for the crack.
In the following time, the three people had another discussion on the matter of baking. Only after that did Yuan Zhou take his leave and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
......
“There’s not enough time. I won’t go back to change my clothes. ” Sitting in the car, Yuan Zhou checked the time and found that it was already 4:30. It was just the right time to go to the kitchen. However, if he wanted to go back and change his clothes, he wouldn’t have enough time.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou decided to go there directly.
When he arrived at the kitchen of life, it was two minutes to FiveO’ clock. He was even praised by Auntie Wu and old Wang for his punctuality.
The following dinner time was much busier than the afternoon. There were many more people, most of whom had rushed directly from their workplace, so there were many more people who needed to help with cooking.
It was more convenient to buy groceries after work. This way, he could take care of the patient and fill himself up. In addition, the kitchen was really cheap, so it was understandable that there were many people.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou was usually busy alone. Therefore, even if he was very busy, he could still do things in an orderly manner and very quickly. Sometimes, he would even be ready before old Wang was ready.
Occasionally, Yuan Zhou would also help those who were busy cooking. Most of the time, he would wash and cut the vegetables. As Yuan Zhou was fast and well-cut, he was very popular among them.
It was only at eighto’ clock in the evening that they slowly rested and there were not many people around. They were indeed much more tired than in the afternoon. At least, Lao Wang was already panting heavily.
“Little Yuan, it’s already so late. Let’s have a meal together before leaving. It won’t be easy to do it when we go back. ” Aunty Wu saw that there were not many people around.
Apart from the two restaurants that were still cooking their own soup, it was basically over.
“That’s right. Xiao Wang, you guys should get some rest too. I’ve made some pork rib soup today. I’ll give you a bowl of it as a side dish later.” An Auntie who looked a few years older than Auntie Wu also said enthusiastically.
“I have stir-fried tofu here today. It should taste pretty good. Since there are new people here today, I’ll treat it as a welcome. I’ll try it later.” A man in his forties, who was busy cooking, chimed in when he heard the auntie’s words.
“Hahaha, then we won’t stand on ceremony. It’s just in time to add some dishes to little Yuan’s meal.” Auntie Wu was obviously familiar with the two of them, so she didn’t reject them at all.
“It’s good that there’s something to eat. I’m not picky. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“It’s good that you’re not picky. There’s really nothing good to eat. ” Auntie Wu said as she went to serve the dishes.
Yuan Zhou followed behind and helped. The three of them ate together and didn’t need much food. Plus the two sponsored dishes, old Wang only cooked two dishes, one tomato scrambled egg and one green pepper shredded pork. There was enough food for the meal.
As soon as the dishes were carried out, aunt Wu hurriedly called Yuan Zhou to eat, probably because she was afraid that Yuan Zhou would be too embarrassed to eat them. However, she didn’t take any dishes for Yuan Zhou, but just pushed the bowl in front of him.
In just a short while, the enthusiastic Auntie and the man had already left with the cooked food. Now, only the three of them were left in the kitchen.
“Well, old Wang, why is today’s food more delicious than the lunch? did you cut corners at lunch?” Auntie Wu picked up a piece of shredded pork with green pepper and put it in her mouth.
Who knew that he would immediately be conquered by the delicious taste? it was much more flavorful than the green pepper shredded meat that old Wang usually cooked. The green pepper and shredded meat were a perfect match. It was spicy and fragrant. The taste was excellent.
“What nonsense are you talking about? it’s because little Yuan’s knife skills are good. He cuts it evenly and the taste enters quickly. Moreover, it’s a cooked piece and the heat control is easy. The taste is definitely good. Do you think everyone is like little li who can cut the meat like it’s a strip of meat? look at what little Yuan cut. That’s what it’s called shredded meat.” Old Wang said proudly.
Those who didn’t know better would think that he had cut the meat himself.
When Auntie Wu heard old Wang’s reminder, she took a closer look. Whether it was the shredded meat or the shredded green pepper, they were all the same size and thickness. If it weren’t for the different colors, she felt that she might not be able to tell who was who.
“Little Yuan, I didn’t expect you to be so good at not only cleaning the kitchen but also cutting the vegetables. Your restaurant must be doing well.” Auntie Wu said with a smile.
“Actually, I’m just used to cutting. But the business of this small shop is really good, so I can’t stay for long.” Yuan Zhou said apologetically.
“It’s fine. It’s good enough that you have this thought. ” Aunty Wu said without a care.
She had seen many volunteers with their own tasks. Some of them could only stay for a day at the very least, but everyone was very serious in completing their tasks, especially little Yuan. She had helped a lot in just one day. Aunt Wu had seen it with her own eyes.
“Auntie Wu, why did you think of opening this kitchen?” Yuan Zhou asked.
He had seen the introduction of the restaurant, but the cold words and hearing it with his own ears were two different things, so he wanted to hear it for himself.
“Hey, what’s there to say? it’s because of our geographical location that there are several hospitals nearby, such as the Beijing Cancer Hospital and the People’s Hospital, which are at the end of the street. Little Yuan knew that he was sick, especially when he was seriously ill, and the cost was high. Many patients could barely bear it, so naturally, his living expenses were reduced. More than ten years ago, he met a few people who wanted to borrow a stove from me. He thought that it wasn’t easy for everyone, so he would help them if he could.”
“It’s a pity that we don’t have much power. We can only help with cooking and the like. Providing some spices is our limit. If it weren’t for the officials who noticed us some time ago and gave us some support, you might not even be able to see this shop.”
Auntie Wu’s face was filled with emotion as she recalled the past.
