The baby is three years old, how did time pass so fast?Hmm, this is called the special time fast-forward system of the spiritual world.

"Oh, baby, don't crawl out and bite my fingers." Qin Cao picked up Tao Ye and put it back into the big woven basket beside him. The basket was very big and covered with a thick and soft quilt. (Little wolf) Play, I will play with you after I finish compiling these."

Yes, this is Qin Cao's business that is currently developing steadily. In the past three years, he has successfully lived a civilian life. Although his life is not rich, he finally has food and clothing.The little wolf, who is now called Big Hui, is also tall and big. When he stands in the yard, no thieves dare to come.

After weaving the basket and some small items, Qin Cao wiped off his sweat and picked up little Tao Ye. This is a new technique he learned, and it can be exchanged for money when sold in the market. Hands will hurt, and it is easy to hurt your hands if you don't pay attention, but I haven't found a better way to make money for a while, so I have to make do with it.

"Little baby, um~ kiss." Qin Cao pursed his mouth up, and Tao Ye gave a mouthful of "paw", and said in a childish voice: "Cao Cao has worked hard, Tao Tao will not hold your fingers and hands for you." It hurts."

Baby Tao Ye has always been very sensible, which made Qin Cao very heartwarming, his eyes narrowed with a smile, sweet.

"Cao Cao's hands don't hurt, baby, we should learn big characters." Qin Cao put Tao Ye on the small chair, "Do you still know the characters you learned yesterday? How do you pronounce this word?"

"Xiaocao~" Tao Ye put on a serious face.

"That's right! This one."

"Cabbage, the word is writing brush, land, flower, and white cloud." After reading, the baby Tao Ye blinked and blinked at Qin Cao, waiting for his praise and reward.

"[-] points! Baby is too smart." Qin Cao took out a small piece of candy from the drawer, "If you get [-] points, I will reward you with sweet candies, okay?"

Baobao Taoye took the candy and put it in another small drawer. This is his treasure house, and all important things should be put in it.

Then Qin Cao taught him a few more words, and then began to teach him how to write.The warm sunlight reflected on Da Yi through the window lattice, very warm.

"Cao Cao, what is star anise?" Tao Ye was taught to write by hand, his face full of curiosity.

"Star anise, it is also called fennel, star anise, aniseed, and anise. It is the fruit of a plant. Star anise can remove the odor in meat and make it fragrant again, so it is also called fennel. It is purple-brown in color and has an anise shape. , shaped like a star, with a sweet and strong aroma." Qin Cao casually read all the information given, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma Wang and Grandma Liu of Zhou's mansion said that Xiao Guizi, who bought vegetables, was ignorant and bought a fake star anise. She was punished by his wife and asked her to take him away." Tao Ye imitated Grandma Wang and said, "Aunt Liu, You also know that the Zhou Mansion should not pick servants who are not clear about the ingredients." Tao Ye is only three years old, but his imitation ability is already very strong. Sensitive, if you hear it, you will not listen, "Cao Cao, what is a fake star anise?"

"Fake star anise looks very similar to real star anise. If you are not careful, you will mistake it. However, fake star anise is poisonous and cannot be used practically. There are three common fake star anise, red fennel, ground maple bark, and mangcao."

"However, it is easy to distinguish between true and false star anise. Star anise tastes sweet when crushed, while mangcao tastes sour when crushed. In terms of appearance, star anise is usually plump and the fruit is exposed, with 7-10 round and blunt horns; and mangcao The fruit is generally not exposed, the petals will not open, and Mangcao has 11-13 pointed horns. And the tip of each corner of the octagon is relatively flat; the tip of each corner of Mangcao will be upturned, like Hawk hook. The fruit stalk is also different, the star anise has a longer and curved fruit stalk, while the mangosteen has a shorter, straight or slightly curved fruit stalk."

Baby Tao Ye blinked his big eyes and listened very seriously, "Cao Cao, will you die if you eat mangcao by mistake?"

"A small amount should be fine. A large amount will cause death. Symptoms of poisoning after accidental ingestion are manifested as nausea, vomiting, salivation, abdominal pain, extreme excitement, delirium, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, paroxysmal tonic convulsions of the limbs, pupils Swelling, foaming at the mouth, and even coma, often leading to death due to respiratory failure and a sharp drop in blood pressure." Qin Cao explained very seriously, in fact, as long as Tao Ye asked him, he would answer everything as long as he knew, and the explanation was very scientific. Wei - after all, everything will be answered by the official.

"Hey, Xiao Cao, do you still know the ingredients?" The steward suddenly approached the window, Qin Cao was startled, and looked out, only to see Da Hui wagging his tail around the steward.

Qin Cao: "..."

In the past few years, he has been able to go from being poor to having enough food and clothing thanks to the help of the steward, and he has always been very grateful.

"Brother, why are you here suddenly?"

"Isn't it because the servant bought fake star anise, and the young lady was furious. I hurried over to buy some back. I'm getting busier. Xiao Cao, if you know the ingredients, why don't you give me a hand? Your money is indispensable."

"This..." Qin Cao was a little moved, but actually very moved. He has a system to help him, so it doesn't matter if he looks at the ingredients...

"I know what you're worried about. It's not easy for two children to live together. I can take care of you more when I go to the Zhou Mansion. I can make up those things and sell them. It's time-consuming and earns little. It's tiring and hard."

"But, big brother, the kid and Big Hui have nowhere to stay, and I can't bear to leave them at home."

"Xiao Cao, do you really know the ingredients?"

Qin Cao nodded.

"That's good. In a few days, you will go to the Zhou Mansion to take an exam to identify the ingredients. If you can pass, you will officially stay in the Zhou Mansion. You can live in a separate room. If it is not possible, you will receive two months' monthly payment in advance." It’s also okay to build a house in the surrounding area.”

"Cao Cao." The baby Tao Ye climbed down from the small stool and hugged Qin Cao's calf, "Tao Tao can go wherever you go, Tao Tao is very good, and Dahui is also very good."

Qin Cao lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then raised his head and made up his mind, "Then thank you, brother."

Zhou Mansion's ingredients test looks very formal.

"Don't be nervous, you can tell as much as you know. As long as you can recognize a little, the eldest brother can keep it for you." The steward patted Qin Cao on the shoulder, "Go."

The exam is held in a special room, and those who come to apply for jobs like Qin Cao come in and wait.

There are several square tables side by side in the room, covered with white cloth, and a small plate is placed on the table every half meter, covered with white cloth. Candidates look over one by one, write their names on the paper and hand them to the examiner.Qin Cao was the tenth, with systematic help, he recognized all the ingredients perfectly.

There are three assessments in total. The second is to put out several of the same ingredient to judge the pros and cons. This is still very easy for Qin Cao.The third level is even simpler, the interview, character, Qin Cao has the help of the manager, so it's a matter of course.

The results came out very quickly, the assessment was done in the morning, and the results came out in the afternoon, and Qin Cao was hired as a matter of course.There are quite a lot of vacant rooms in the Zhou Mansion, and the steward entrusted his relationship with the housekeeper to get a separate room for Qin Cao.

After arriving at the Zhou Mansion, Qin Cao realized the difference in this world even more. Food is the most important thing, and the status of a chef is very high, and the man standing at the top of the mainland is also the legendary God of Cookery—— Emperor Guangyue.

Rich families often hold culinary competitions, losing face is a very shameful thing, and if a company creates a new dish, it will become famous for a while, and if it is summoned by the emperor to approve, it is not a bad idea to be promoted.

And good ingredients are the premise of creating delicious food. The Zhou family should not be ignorant of the servants who came in with Qin Cao. A year later, there were only two people left. The ingredients were brushed down.

"Szechuan pepper, star anise, pepper, clove... hot pepper, red dates... wolfberry." Qin Cao's eyes are covered with a white cloth, and he uses his sense of smell to recognize each ingredient. Being blindfolded will hinder many people, but Qin Cao is not afraid.why?

Proud of all: Uh-huh, all of you have a copy, you are not afraid.

He is taking the ingredients judge exam. The first item is to smell the ingredients, and the second is to taste the ingredients. Shicai tells the ingredients used.

Here, those related to the ingredients are the most promising. People with talent in this area will be eagerly sought by various families. It is impossible for Qin Cao to be a chef, so he decided to become a great taster!He has already passed the one-star certification, and his status immediately changed. The monthly payment immediately increased from one tael to three taels; now he is at the scene of the two-star exam.

Only those with three stars or above can be called tasters, the highest is seven stars, and only tasters with seven stars are eligible to taste the dishes made by the God of Cookery.

Qin Cao was satisfied with the silver brought by the rising stars.
