Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 17 It’s a small step to work, but a giant step to becoming rich
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 Cooking" 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 when I was writing essays before. 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."

Zhao Xiuwen ran out of the cubicle with his hands full of blood: "Hey, here you are, 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 went off the rails in one breath: "You can do that?! Then you will make soup for me?"

"it is 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 startled and stopped him quickly: "What's so good!? You dare to be good but I don't dare! Why are young people today so arrogant? In this way, I just blasted out the trash who can't even wash a dish, you Go pick him up from his stall and I'll see if I can catch him. If you catch him, I'll pay you for your work 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, and 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!
There was a muffled sound, and 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. Once 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 then asked: "Which master chef are you from?" Wang Luo asked back. :"Why do you ask?"

"I have seen your finger-flicking 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 don't have to be responsible, but you have to be good at it. A qualified chef must be able to do every aspect of the whole process with ease, so even when washing vegetables, you have to show off your skills."

"Really? I just thought it would be easier to wash it this way. It turns out that it coincides with the chef... You don't mean to say that I plagiarized my technique, do you?"

"Where did you get plagiarism from 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 you got your skills from, as long as you can do the job. But, if you show off your skills like this The washing method consumes a lot of your eyesight and luck. I don’t include meals here, so don’t expect me to get back what you’ve spent.”

Wang Luo smiled and said, "Okay."

In fact, Lao Hong's reminder is very practical. This method of flicking your fingers to create smoke is indeed a show-off for ordinary people, and consumes a lot of physical energy and mental energy.However, Wang Luo is not a castrated cultivator who can only rely on food supplements to replenish his blood. The consumed part can easily be recovered in excess as long as he breathes and carries normally for a few days.In fact, during the time he was washing the vegetables, more and more real energy came into his body as he washed the vegetables.

While washing the vegetables, Wang Luo also observed the surroundings. As the most popular home-cooked restaurant on Stone Street, the busy people in the back kitchen were all the top workers, including those who took spoons, cut vegetables, and washed vegetables, and even Zhao Xiuwen is the water station responsible for food pre-processing.Although their cultivation levels are not high, they don't even have a golden elixir.However, the internal and external foundations are very solid, and the movements are skillful and the movement is clever, and he can handle all kinds of complex spiritual, flesh and spiritual vegetables with ease.so……

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

Lao Hong snorted: "Are you worried about your wages? The vegetable washer earns 300 a day. If you can maintain the current level, I can pay you a whole day's wages tonight."

Wang Luo raised his eyebrows, this number was a bit beyond expectations.A vegetable washer can earn 300 a day, and a dishwasher can earn at least double that. After a month, the income is not lower than that of many young people in the upper city.

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

Wang Luo asked casually, but saw that the face of the old man suddenly turned darker, and the movements of the skilled workers next to him also became sluggish, as if they were remembering something unbearable.

"...I seem to understand."

Lao Hong sighed: "This girl Shi Yue is really nice, but she is definitely not suitable for the catering industry, and she is really unlucky. Since you are her friend, you should help her more on weekdays."

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

-

The busy time lasted until late at night. As the last table of guests left with patting their bellies and the tableware endowed with spirituality jumped into the pool, the tense atmosphere in the kitchen finally relaxed.

Lao Hong put down the soup pot and took out a piece of green bamboo from his arms. At the same time, all the skilled workers were lined up in a row, their eyes shining, like military dogs holding rice bowls in their mouths and lining up to start a meal.

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

Every time he thought of someone, Lao Hong would tap the green bamboo on that person's hand, and light droplets of liquid would flow out of the bamboo and penetrate directly into the skin.

It is a condensed spiritual leaf that is easy to store and circulate. Although it is not as convenient as credit currencies such as Taixu Divine Banknotes, it is closer to the physical spiritual leaf and can give workers who have been busy for a day a real sense of real money.

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

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

The moment he took the liquefied spirit leaf into his hands, Wang Luo felt his fingertips feel cold and his palms feel warm.

The coolness on the fingertips comes from the coolness of the spirit leaves. The droplets penetrate into the body along the skin and are naturally incorporated into the circulation of true energy. Practitioners can use it at any time as the mind moves.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 kind of encryption not only relies on the material and processing of the droplets, but also vaguely points to the Great Law.It can be said to be a very new era design.The only shortcoming is that due to different personal qualifications, the capacity of the human body is limited, and it is okay to keep some small change, but large amounts of concentrated spiritual leaves must be accommodated with external objects such as green bamboo.

The heat in the palms comes from Ascension Record.
