Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Saying goodbye to the noodle shop owner who never deducted money, Shi Yue led Wang Luo directly to "Xiangshan Road", the bustling dining area where Li Ji Shao Pork is located, and stopped in front of a particularly busy store.

"Lao Hong's home-cooked food" has a simple and unpretentious sign, but the bustling scene in front of the door is more convincing than any flashy publicity, and the rich aroma of meat is even more exciting.

Shi Yue swallowed his saliva and said: "If you want to work, I personally recommend this place. I was introduced to you before when I was writing essays. It may be a bit busy and tiring, but the wages are good and there are employee benefits..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a roar inside the store.

"Go, go, go! You can't even wash the vegetables, why don't you eat shit?!"

Then a bald young man stumbled out in a panic, followed by several flying bowls. The diners outside the door laughed strangely, but it was commonplace.

Shi Yue added: "Lao Hong still has strict requirements for his subordinates, but with your ability, it is definitely more than enough."

After that, she led Wang Luo straight to the kitchen from the back door of the store. She saw seven or eight people surrounding the three ink-fire stoves, each performing their duties and concentrating on it. And a dark and thin old man stood next to a vat, using his own essence to stir up the fire and slowly cook it.

Seeing Shi Yue and Wang Luo, the old man raised his eyelids and said, "Let's talk about anything later."

And Zhao Xiuwen ran out of the cubicle with his hands full of blood: "Hey, you are here, the free side dishes we promised before, right? I'll cut them for you guys in a moment..."

The old man Hei was furious: "These two people didn't even order food, so you give them free side dishes?!"

Zhao Xiuwen smiled and said: "First use free side dishes to divert traffic, and then use high-priced big vegetables to harvest..."

"Go, go, go eat shit too!"

After being disturbed by Zhao Xiuwen, the old man Hei was not in a hurry to make soup. He looked up at the two of them and asked, "Xiao Yue, are you here to introduce a job again? What is this person's background?"

Shi Yue said: "Wang Luo is similar to Xiuwen. He is from Nanxiang and currently lives at my place. His character is very reliable and his skills are good. Uncle Hong, you can give it a try."

Lao Hong said: "There is no need to test the character of the person you introduced, but I have to see it personally... What do you know?"

Wang Luo said: "From my observation, I can do everything here."

Lao Hong almost got distracted in one breath: "You can do that?! Then you will make soup for me?"

"good."

Wang Luo took a step forward, and the true energy in his body turned into gentle and tough wood-phase fire, and he was about to press it on the pot.

Then Lao Hong was shocked and stopped him quickly: "What's so good!? You dare to be good but I don't dare! How can young people today be so arrogant? Like this, I just blasted out the trash who can't even wash a dish, you Go pick him up and see if I can catch him. I'll pay you tonight."

Wang Luo smiled: "Okay."

After introducing Wang Luo to a good job, Shi Yue left in a hurry because she had to work until dawn...

After Wang Luo said goodbye to Shi Yue, he was also ready to support himself.

The vegetable washing stall that Lao Hong was talking about was a square fountain, with clean water constantly gushing out from the spring array at the bottom of the pool. A huge bamboo basket next to it was filled with fresh spiritual vegetables, which still smelled of earth.

Of course, it is not difficult to clean ordinary vegetables from dust and mud. However, these vegetables are cultivated in special soil. The soil on the roots, stems and leaves is extremely sticky. If you use brute force when cleaning, it will inevitably damage the leaves. You must use gentle force. Slowly dissolving the attached mud and then rinsing with clean water is a delicate task that tests your eyesight, hand strength and patience. And there were mountains of spiritual vegetables in the huge bamboo basket, so it was obviously impossible to wash them too slowly.

Lao Hong ordered Wang Luo to wash the vegetables, but he didn't expect this newcomer to be of much use. He had been running this small restaurant for decades, and it was obvious whether a person had entered the kitchen or not. And Wang Luo exudes a sense of alienation from "a gentleman is far away from the cook".

This kind of person may have good skills, but these skills obviously have nothing to do with washing vegetables.

But then, Wang Luo walked straight to the bamboo basket and picked out a round, jade-like "jade fat ball". He weighed it twice in his hand, glanced at it, and after confirming the part stained with soil, He stretched out his fingers and flicked the root of the vegetable.

boom!

With a muffled sound, a burst of dark brown smoke seemed to rise from the jade fat ball, and all the dirt and dirt that were adhered to it like glue were shaken off. Wang Luo took advantage of the situation and dipped it in the clear pool. As soon as he fished it out, the jade fat ball seemed to be completely reborn, showing a faint luster of real jade.

At the same time, Lao Hong, who was watching sideways, had his mouth wide open.

Wang Luo didn't care at all. He picked another bundle of long-leaf green vegetables and held it in his hand. Then he stretched out his fingers and flicked it in the upper, middle and lower places, causing three layers of smoke of different colors to rise. When it was put into the water, it was fine. The long leaves exude an attractive luster.

Lao Hong's mouth opened wider.

And when Wang Luo used this momentum to wash more than a dozen spiritual vegetables in succession, Lao Hong finally regained consciousness, closed his chin, and asked: "Which master chef are you?"

Wang Luo asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I have seen your finger-picking skills when I was young. At that time, Sanwei Villa, which specialized in cooking teaching, specially invited Ziwu, a super chef from one of the five powerful countries, and his cooking skills were about the same as yours. Very similar..."

Wang Luo asked curiously: "The divine chef is still responsible for washing vegetables?"

“You can be irresponsible, but you can’t be unskilled. A qualified divine chef must be able to handle every step of the whole process with ease, so even washing vegetables must be done in a showy way.”

“Really? I just think it’s more efficient to wash them this way. It turns out that it coincides with the divine chef’s… You don’t want to say that my method is plagiarized?”

“Where is the plagiarism in washing vegetables!?” Lao Hong stared at Wang Luo for a while and shook his head. “Forget it. It has nothing to do with me where your skills come from. It’s OK as long as you can do the job. However, washing vegetables in a showy way like yours consumes a lot of eyesight and strength. I don’t provide meals here, so don’t expect to eat back what you have consumed from me.”

Wang Luo smiled and said, “Okay.”

In fact, Lao Hong’s reminder is very practical. This kind of finger-snap washing method that produces smoke is indeed a lot of showmanship for ordinary people, and the consumption of physical energy and spiritual thoughts is not low. However, Wang Luo is not a castrated practitioner who can only rely on food supplements to recover blood. The consumed part can be easily recovered by breathing normally and moving for a few weeks. In fact, during the time of washing vegetables, his internal essence actually increased.

While washing vegetables, Wang Luo also observed the surroundings. As the most popular home-style restaurant in Shi Street, the people busy in the kitchen were all the best workers, including the chef, the vegetable cutter, the waiter, and even Zhao Xiuwen, who was responsible for the pre-processing of ingredients. Although their cultivation was not high, they did not even have a golden elixir. But their internal and external foundations were very solid, and their movements were skillful and their strength was clever. They seemed to be at ease in handling all kinds of complex spiritual meat and vegetables. So...

"The manpower expenditure here is not low, right?"

Old Hong snorted: "Are you worried about your wages? The daily wage for vegetable washers is 300. If you can maintain the current level, I can pay you a full day's wages tonight."

Wang Luo raised his eyebrows. This number was a bit beyond his expectations. A vegetable washer can get 300 a day, and the chef can at least double it. After this month, the income is not low compared to many young people in Shangcheng District.

"So why doesn't Shi Yue come here to work? The salary must be higher than her as a tour guide, right?"

Wang Luo asked casually, but saw that the black old man's face suddenly became darker, and the movements of several skilled workers beside him became sluggish, as if they remembered something unbearable.

"...I seem to understand."

Old Hong sighed: "Shi Yue is a really good girl, but she is definitely not suitable for the catering industry, and her luck is really bad. Since you are her friend, you should help her more on weekdays."

After saying that, the old man turned his attention back to the soup pot and never distracted again.

——

The busy time continued until late at night. With the last table of guests patting their bellies and leaving with satisfaction, the spiritualized tableware jumped into the pool by itself, and the tense atmosphere in the kitchen finally relaxed.

Old Hong put down the soup pot and took out a green bamboo from his arms. At the same time, all the skilled workers had lined up in a row, their eyes shining, like military dogs holding rice bowls and queuing for meals.

"Fang Qingqing, 1000; Zhao Jinxi, 800..."

Whenever he reads a name, Lao Hong will touch that person's hand with a green bamboo, and a light droplet will flow out of the bamboo and penetrate directly into the skin.

That is a condensed spiritual leaf, which is easy to store and circulate. Although it is not as convenient as credit currency such as Taixu Shenchao, it is closer to a physical spiritual leaf, which can give a busy day's workers a sense of reality of real money.

And money with a sense of reality will be more cherished when spent.

"Zhao Xiuwen, 500; Wang Luo, 300."

The moment Wang Luo got the liquefied spiritual leaf, he felt a coolness on his fingertips and a heat in his palm.

The coolness on his fingertips comes from the coolness of the spiritual leaf. The droplets penetrate into the body along the skin and naturally enter the true essence circulation. With the movement of the divine mind, the practitioner can use it at any time. At the same time, these droplets are highly encrypted and cannot be digested or modified. The body of the practitioner is just its container. And this encryption is not only based on the material and processing of the droplets, but also faintly points to the Great Law. It can be said that it is a very modern design. The only drawback is that due to different personal qualifications, the human body has limited capacity. It is okay to keep some change, but large amounts of concentrated spiritual leaves must be stored in external objects such as green bamboo.

The heat in the palm comes from the Ascension Record.
