After crossing the border, I rely on craftsmanship to eat

In the early morning of the next day, Dong Chuanlin followed Chen Suiyang to the kitchen for breakfast after washing.

Chen Suiyang was his roommate. Uncle Qin had something to do yesterday, so he threw him into the room and left in a hurry.As a newcomer, Dong Chuanlin didn't dare to walk around casually, so he had to stay in the room.

It was getting dark, and Chen Suiyang hurried into the room when he was so hungry that he was half alive.

It turned out that Uncle Qin had been busy all the time and forgot to tell Chen Suiyang to go back early to take him for a stroll.When he got off work and went to the kitchen for dinner, he heard someone mention that someone had entered the room in the afternoon.

Chen Suiyang recalled that Uncle Qin had mentioned to him that someone would live in a few days ago, so he rushed back without thinking about eating.

With the help of Chen Suiyang, Dong Chuanlin settled down smoothly and steadily.

After breakfast in the kitchen, Chen Suiyang led him to the cutting room.

"Brother Chen, I want to ask you something." Chen Suiyang is two years older than Dong Chuanlin. He has been in Yicao Tang for half a year. He is older than Dong Chuanlin in terms of age and qualifications. "Do you know what's going on with the beans hanging from the bamboo pole?"

Originally, Dong Chuanlin believed that the beans were used for cooking, but there were no beans in the two meals last night and this morning, so he couldn't help doubting whether his idea was accurate.

In order to avoid embarrassment in public by talking nonsense without knowing anything later, it is better to find out from a reliable person first.

Chen Suiyang looked at the neatly arranged beans in the morning light and said dumbly, "Well... Didn't Uncle Qin tell you yesterday?"

Dong Chuanlin pouted, if Uncle Qin was willing to tell him, he wouldn't have to bother to guess.

"He pretended to tell me today. Can you tell me secretly first? I'm almost dying of curiosity."

Chen Suiyang pondered for a moment and then said: "Beans are related to learning crafts, and you will be able to get in touch with them in the future. I can only say this. Since Uncle Qin has kept it from him, he has his own reasons."

Something to do with learning a craft?Is it possible that beans are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which can cure diseases and save lives?This is unrealistic, he is almost 40 years old in two lifetimes, and he has never heard of such a wonderful thing as bean curd.

Since Chen Suiyang didn't want to say anything, Dong Chuanlin didn't want to force him, thinking that he should do more and talk less, and he must do things according to his master's orders.

When I arrived at the door of the cutting room, I saw about ten teenagers waiting at the door.

Seeing this, Chen Suiyang explained: "For the sake of safety, the key is kept by a special person, and someone will come to open the door later."

Dong Chuanlin nodded in response, secretly looking at the teenagers standing at the door.

Most of them are young and young, and they should be as old as Dong Chuanlin in terms of appearance, and most of them get together to chat in twos and threes.Only one or two are calmer, standing out among a group of chirping birds.

After waiting for a while, an old man came to open the door.When the old man finished unlocking and left, he glanced at Dong Chuanlin and asked, "Are you the new one?"

Dong Chuanlin didn't know what he wanted, so he nodded obediently and said, "I'm Dong Chuanlin."

The old man pursed his lips and smiled, seemingly satisfied with him. He told Chen Suiyang, "Okay, Suiyang, take him with you. Master Zhang has caused a cold today, so he may arrive later."

Chen Suiyang nodded and replied, "Yes, Uncle Lin."

Saying goodbye to the old man, the two entered the cutting room.The previous teenagers had already prepared their seats in an orderly manner. Dong Chuanlin looked around, probably sweeping around.

The room is not big, roughly speaking, there are fifteen tables and corresponding benches, and the teenagers are all sitting in the front seats.Except for an empty seat in the first row, only a few tables in the back were empty.Presumably the vacant seat in the first row was reserved for Chen Suiyang.

Dong Chuanlin consciously walked to the back position, and carefully looked at this set of medicine cutting equipment.On the table was a guillotine similar to a rectangle, the handle was half an cubit long, and the wood on the handle was smooth and shiny.

In addition to the guillotine, there was a chopstick-length board on one side of the table.There were some small knife marks on the board. As soon as Dong Chuanlin touched the knife marks with his hand, a sound came from beside him.

The two teenagers who were relatively calm just now brought a basket of things from nowhere, and before putting the things down, other people rushed up to watch.

Many people blocked the steady boy's pace, one of the dark-complexioned boys said fiercely, and the people around left reluctantly.

Dong Chuanlin also wanted to know what was in that basket, but felt that it was inappropriate to rush forward and follow along to watch, so he could only look ahead eagerly.He pursed his lips and suppressed the anxiety in his heart, maintaining an indifferent expression and pretending to be nonchalant.

This was his first day at work after coming to Yicao Tang, and the two in front of him were like little bosses, so it was better to be on the safe side and make a good impression on them.

After the bamboo basket was settled, Chen Suiyang appeared out of nowhere with three bamboo sieves in his hand.He sifted the bamboo to two calm teenagers, and then squatted beside the bamboo basket to distribute the contents of the basket.

Divide the stick-like things in the basket into three bamboo sieves. After Chen Suiyang whispered a few words to the two calm young men, the three of them held the bamboo sieves and handed out sticks one by one.

Dong Chuanlin observed carefully and found that the number distributed was no more than five.The teenagers who were given the medicinal materials were very excited, whispering about how their own was different from others, and even bent each of them to test the hardness.

The one who handed out Dong Chuanlin's message was that vicious black-faced young man just now. After he had distributed it to the person in front of Dong Chuanlin, he gave Dong Chuanlin a glance and left.

Hey!How come others have it and he doesn't.

Obviously that black face gave him a special look, turned around and left without saying anything, this is obviously unfriendly to newcomers.

Dong Chuanlin was frustrated by the black face, and it was not easy to go forward to make theoretical inquiries, so he had to ask for help from the only person he knew well, Chen Suiyang.

Helplessly, Chen Suiyang was too serious. He not only counted the number of handouts carefully, but also explained a few words to each boy when handing out sticks.It took a while for the other two to finish posting before he finished them all.

Seeing that Chen Suiyang was about to turn around and leave, Dong Chuanlin called him anxiously.

There was some noise in the room, and Dong Chuanlin raised his figure a little because he was afraid that he could not hear him.Now not only Chen Suiyang heard it, but also the black face standing in front.

Chen Suiyang looked back at him, Dong Chuanlin waved to him, he went to the front and put down the bamboo basket before coming.

Dong Chuanlin: "..."

I just want to see what you guys are posting, why everyone has it but I don't.It's good for you, just put it in the front, let alone own it now, you don't even have the right to take a look at it openly.

Chen Suiyang walked up to Dong Chuanlin and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I... want to ask me what I should do now? Everyone seems to be very busy, and it's strange for me to be idle by myself." Dong Chuanlin raised his head and blinked his eyes, his words carried a feeling of being left out.

The teenagers who got the wooden sticks were talking with each other enthusiastically, only Dong Chuanlin guarded a table empty.

Recalling Uncle Lin's confession, Chen Suiyang looked at the door again, but still no one came in.

He thought for a moment and said, "You won't know exactly what you do until Master Zhang comes. Why don't I teach you the purpose and usage of these tools first."

Dong Chuanlin's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay, thank you Brother Chen for teaching."

Watching Chen Suiyang bend down with a smile and explain to Dong Chuanlin one by one, Lu Zhiming was so angry that he almost gritted his back molars. The young man beside him looked at his dark face with a little coldness, sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

"We work seriously and rely on strength to speak."

As soon as the young man next to him said the words, Lu Zhiming shook his sleeves dissatisfied and snorted, and carefully selected five wooden sticks from the basket.Before sitting down, he couldn't help but glance back at Chen Suiyang and Dong Chuanlin who were teaching warmly.

When Chen Suiyang and Dong Chuanlin finished explaining, Uncle Qin happened to enter the door with an old man whose hair was mostly gray.

The chattering teenagers immediately shut up when they saw the two entering the door, and stood up neatly to say hello to the two.The formation was so unified that Dong Chuanlin subconsciously stood up in shock.

With the non-stop greetings from the teenagers, Dong Chuanlin also guessed that the person beside Uncle Qin was Master Zhang as they called him, who was in charge of cutting houses.

Simply nodding in response to the boys who stood up and said hello, Uncle Qin and Master Zhang walked straight back.Lu Zhiming watched the two principals go towards Dong Chuanlin, and secretly squeezed the wooden stick so hard that it almost broke.

Chen Suiyang took the lead in saying hello to the two elders, and then Dong Chuanlin followed Chen Suiyang's words and followed suit.

"It looks a bit spiritual, but I don't know if I have patience and perseverance." After looking at Dong Chuanlin, Master Zhang stroked his beard and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

Uncle Qin smiled heartily, "If you try it, you will know everything." Then he winked at Chen Suiyang.

Dong Chuanlin looked puzzled at Chen Suiyang who was leaving, and he couldn't do too much action, so he stood upright and laughed awkwardly with the two elders.

Not long after, Chen Suiyang came back, holding a small bamboo basket in his hand.

Dong Chuanlin was a little dumbfounded looking at the things in the bamboo basket, which actually contained a basket full of beans.

Chen Suiyang pulled the stupid Dong Chuanlin away from his seat, and then Master Zhang, who had gray hair and beard, sat on the seat.The surrounding teenagers all turned their heads to watch Master Zhang move.

"Boy, you have to watch it carefully." Master Zhang put his hand on the handle of the knife and said while looking at Dong Chuanlin who was a little absent-minded.

Dong Chuanlin, who was still immersed in the basket full of beans, regained his senses in an instant, staring at Master Zhang's movements intently.

After Master Zhang explained the placement of the stool, the position of the handle of the knife, the direction of the elbow and the sitting posture, he took out a handful of beans from the bamboo basket.Straighten the beans and hold them tightly with your fingers, then place them on the knife holder and fix them with wooden boards.

With the knife raised and lowered, the dry bean strips suddenly turned into thin slices.

While Dong Chuanlin was still marveling at this godlike operation, Master Zhang had already packed the sliced ​​beans on a bamboo tray.Then he repeated the previous action, cutting the beans into small sections half the length of the fingernail.

It may be that the operation of the thin slices of beans in the front is too gorgeous, but he actually thinks that the operation of the segments of beans in the back is very simple.

"You should practice cutting first today, and call me after you finish cutting this basket of beans." Master Zhang tidied up all the items, and stroked the bean slices on his clothes.

... The dazzling operation in front of Ganqing is just for show.

After Master Zhang finished, Dong Chuanlin sat down tremblingly under the strong gaze of everyone.He operated like Master Zhang, and the front was quite smooth, but the blade was disobedient when he cut the knife. Not only did it make a harsh "squeaky" sound, but the beans were not cut off, leaving half of the skin floating in the wind.

Although the teenagers had lowered their voices, the laughter still unconsciously entered their ears.Dong Chuanlin was so ashamed that he couldn't bear the shame, he must not be the one who thought the cut was very simple just now.

Seeing this, Uncle Qin and Master Zhang remained calm, as if they had expected it a long time ago.I also saw Dong Chuanlin slashing the knife a few times. Although the movements were clumsy, at least nothing embarrassing happened.

Uncle Qin touched Master Zhang with his elbow, and Master Zhang nodded perfunctorily in response.

Just as Dong Chuanlin breathed a sigh of relief, Uncle Qin, who had turned to leave, turned around again.His heart beat suddenly, and he didn't dare to roll his eyes.

"Remember to send the cut beans to the kitchen."

An understatement aroused Dong Chuanlin's fighting spirit.My God, what else can you do with beans in the kitchen besides cooking!Doesn't the whole village know how ugly his cuts are?

Dong Chuanlin secretly left two lines of tears in his heart, is it too late for him to go home and learn hunting with Han Song...
