"Wow! Why is today's porridge so salty!"

"It still has a slightly spicy taste, did someone put chili powder?"

"It's so salty, how can you drink it!"

……

When eating at night, the employees in the store were all complaining about the bowl of preserved egg and lean pork porridge.The porridge that I drink every day on weekdays tasted very strange today, as if it had been heavily seasoned.

When everyone couldn't swallow, Bai Sichen was the only one who slurped his porridge with his head down, pretending he didn't hear anything.With flickering eyes, I am afraid that everyone will notice him who is inconspicuous.

Hmm...it's just been soaked in water for a while, how could the smell be so strong?

Two hours ago, the porridge rice was soaking in water in the kitchen, and Bai Sichen was practicing the second test given by Guo Zhenlin.

"It should be a little more..."

Bai Sichen said to himself, and lightly relaxed his fingers, letting the seasoning between the two fingers sprinkle some more.

I thought it would be much more difficult to control the amount of seasoning than chopping vegetables, but I didn't expect to find out that seasoning is so simple after I really practiced it!

The natural perception of food makes Bai Sichen's hands much more sensitive than ordinary people.A pinch of salt from a cruet will give you an approximate measure.

Twist carefully to let the salt between your fingers spill out. As long as you are careful enough, you can control the amount of each serving.

Bai Sichen couldn't get used to liquid condiments yet, so he was only practicing powder condiments during this time.

Monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, salt, black pepper powder... Every kind of powder, Bai Sichen can skillfully divide them into several parts of equal weight, and put several miniature "small hills" on the chopping board.

"Ah!"

The smell of pepper was too pungent, and Bai Sichen couldn't hold back... All of a sudden, the seasoning on the chopping board was sprayed everywhere.When cleaning the chopping board, Bai Sichen didn't notice the soaked rice in the sink, and simply poured the condiments used for practice just now into it.

Hmm...it's just that the taste is a little bit stronger, so it shouldn't be a big problem.Bai Sichen buried his head lower.

"Master, walk slowly." Gu Chengyi carefully supported Guo Zhenlin to the front hall.

Guo Zhenlin has not been feeling well for the past two days. Every time he finishes working in the kitchen, he has to go back to bed to rest for a while, otherwise his complexion will turn pale and his hands will tremble slightly.

"It's all right, it's just that I can't keep up with my physical strength when I'm old." After resting for half an hour, Guo Zhenlin's physical strength has almost recovered, and his face looks rosier than before.

Sit down and pick up the preserved egg and lean pork porridge in front of you, scoop it up with a spoon and blow it gently.Wait, the taste of this porridge is different from usual, just smelling it has a salty taste.

Anyway, Guo Zhenlin has been cooking for more than ten years, and he has an extraordinary perception of taste.Even in his illness, he could tell the difference from the smell.

"There are a lot of things in it?" Guo Zhenlin looked at the porridge in his hand. The color of the porridge is slightly heavier than usual. It should be soaked in various condiments for a long time. brown.

Guo Zhenlin glanced around the dining table, and instantly locked on to Bai Sichen who was sitting at the corner of the table.When everyone couldn't drink the porridge because it was too salty, he was the only one who drank several gulps.

Guo Zhenlin's hawk-like eyes made Bai Sichen uncomfortable, and he handed the porridge to Gu Chengyi who was beside him, "Try it and see how different today's porridge is."

Put a small spoonful of porridge in your mouth and taste it carefully.A few seconds later, Gu Chengyi's eyes also fell on Bai Sichen.

“50克食盐、50克黑胡椒粉、50克十三香、50克味精、50克孜然……”

The weight of each condiment is exactly the same, all of them are exactly "50 grams".

Bai Sichen exposed too clearly!For practice, he prepared all the condiments in the same weight in advance.This is great, after being tasted by Gu Chengyi, I can't hide it even if I want to.

Gu Chengyi and Guo Zhenlin's eyes fell on Bai Sichen. Although they didn't speak, Bai Sichen, who was already tortured by looking directly at him, felt uncomfortable all over.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Bai Sichen pushed away the chair and stood up, lowering his head in shame.

Instead of waiting for Gu Chengyi to expose him, it is better to admit his mistake on his own initiative, maybe he will be punished lightly because of his honesty.

Guo Zhenlin nodded approvingly.As expected, Bai Sichen would have the courage to bear his own mistakes.Think about Guo Nan a few years ago, if he were present today, he would try to argue.

"I accidentally poured the condiment in."

Hearing what Bai Sichen said, the master stood up angrily from the side, grabbed Bai Sichen by the collar with one hand and lifted him up.

"Uncle Guo is not feeling well these days, don't you know? The doctor has repeatedly told him to eat light food. How can Uncle Guo still eat when you do this?!"

The others did not forgive Bai Sichen for his voluntary confession, and all cast accusing looks at him.The anger in the master's pupils was even more eager to burn him to ashes.

Seeing that Bai Sichen's feet were off the ground and his whole body was suspended in the air, Gu Chengyi was the first to rush up.He tried to make the master let go of his hand, but the muscular master was so powerful that no matter how hard he tried, his clenched fist would not relax at all.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it so much." Seeing that Bai Sichen in the master's hand was like a desperate little chicken, Guo Zhenlin quickly stopped him, "Just a little punishment, let him go."

Fortunately, the master still listened to Guo Zhenlin's words, so he released Bai Sichen.Rubbing his nose with the back of his hand, he sat down angrily.

"The doctor told me to drink more soy milk, so let Xiaochen grind the soy milk every day during this period, as punishment for him."

"Thank you, Master! I will definitely pay attention in the future, and I won't do it again!" Bai Sichen, who had escaped, was relieved, and bowed excitedly to Guo Zhenlin.

Guo Zhenlin loves Bai Sichen very much. Although he has not officially accepted him as a disciple, everyone can see Guo Zhenlin's preference for him.It's okay to assign him less work on weekdays, and he is allowed to use his own personal knife. Now the punishment for making a mistake is so light?

well!It is really compared to the example of Guo Nan a few years ago.

…………

"Grumbling..."

There is a stone mill in Guo's old store. In order to ensure that all the ingredients will not lose their original flavor, the soy milk in the store is made with a stone mill.

Put a handful of beans and a spoonful of water, hold the top handle and turn it clockwise.After a while, a milky yellow liquid flowed out of the disc of the stone mill, and flowed down the stone trough into the container below.

You can smell the aroma of soybeans even before they are cooked in a pot.

The stone mill was solid, and Bai Sichen could hear the sound of the stone rubbing against it when it was turning.The stone ring on the top weighed five or six catties, and it didn't take much effort to start turning it. After a long time, Bai Sichen also felt his arms were sore.

After several days of grinding like this, Bai Sichen had to develop his muscles.Three times a day, facing the stone mill boringly, he couldn't find any other words to describe it except "boring".

"How much did you grind?" Coming down the stairs, Gu Chengyi walked up to Bai Sichen and looked at the scale on the container below.

In half an hour, Bai Sichen had already ground 500ml of soybean milk.

"Grinding soybean milk is really tiring... Brother, why don't you help me grind it for a while?"

"Dreaming" Gu Chengyi smiled slightly, "Master's medicine is gone, and I'm about to go out to buy medicine for him."

Well!When Gu Chengyi went out, he didn't even have anyone to chat with him.This is really going to be boring to death!

Seeing Bai Sichen pouted so hard that he wanted to turn his head to the sky, Gu Chengyi reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Tell me, what do you want to eat? Senior brother will buy it for you when he comes back."

"That bacon pancake at the end of the street!" Bai Sichen blurted out.

"Okay, then grind the soy milk well, and I'll be back in a while."

"Add sausage, add an egg! No green onion, more coriander!" Bai Sichen added a few more words.

"understood."

Thinking that there will be bacon pancakes to eat in a while, Bai Sichen's hands were full of strength, and they turned even more vigorously.After a while, there was a large amount of soy milk in the container.

"Why are you still using this old stone mill after so many years?" someone asked behind him.

"That's right, Master said that the soymilk made by a stone mill has the original flavor and tastes better than that made by a soymilk machine." Bai Sichen replied inadvertently.

"Master?" The man asked again, "He actually accepted another apprentice?"

When Bai Sichen regained his composure, he felt that the voice behind him was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

It shouldn't be the voice of a regular customer, nor the voice of the uncle who delivers food every day.Well, I should have heard it on a TV show.

Bai Sichen turned around and looked up at the man's appearance.

"Snapped!"

For a moment, Bai Sichen couldn't sit still in excitement, and sat down on the ground.

Looking at the man in front of him, Bai Sichen's eyes were bigger than copper bells, and his mouth could be filled with an entire apple.

Before, he had fantasized about what kind of occasion he would meet with him countless times.I didn't expect it to be here, the backyard of the kitchen of Guo's old store.

"F...F...F..." Bai Sichen's tongue was tied, it was on the edge of his mouth, but he couldn't say his name.

The man laughed loudly, and quickly helped Bai Sichen who was sitting on the ground, "My name is Frank."
