As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, Beibei walked up to Jin Cheng, stood side by side with him, saluted the county magistrate, and said loudly: "Thank you, sir, thank you..." Beibei paused, and looked at him with a smile on her side. Jin Cheng: "Thank you Jin for arresting the head!"

"This is what Beibei deserves!" Jin Cheng said righteously without raising his head.

Beibei smiled, and had a deeper understanding of Jin Cheng's thick skin.

Under the "witness" of Qiao Qiongyan, the county magistrate handed over the silver to Beibei, and then asked a yamen servant to pack the stolen goods from the thief's yard - sauces and cooking wine in a basket, and sent them to Beibei. Go to the material shop.

Beibei left the county government office, gave Jin Cheng a meaningful look, and then left with Qiao Qiongyan.

Widow Liu and Shui Lan waited for a long time to bring Bei Bei back. Knowing that she brought back the stolen things and got compensation, Widow Liu and Shui Lan were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

After the thief matter was settled, Beibei took Mancang to Jianguo Mansion to thank Jiang Yun'er, and then went to see Master Rong.

Master Rong was very happy to know that Beibei could handle the amount of seasoning well, so he asked Beibei to practice knife skills.

"If you want to be an excellent cook, this knife skill is very important. As a cook, if the knife skill is not good, no matter how good his cooking skills are, the dishes he cooks will be greatly reduced."

"Master, only the combination of color, aroma and taste can be regarded as real gourmet food, and this color is at the top, so knife skills are the most important of the three elements of gourmet food, right?"

As a senior foodie, Beibei is also very particular about food when conditions permit.

Hearing this, Master Rong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's right, whether a delicacy can arouse the appetite of diners, the first step depends on the chef's knife skills, so you have to practice knife skills well first."

"Master, how do I practice this knife skill?" Beibei knew that there was no trick to become famous in knife skill, the only way was to practice hard.

"Cut a fish fillet and show me first, try to cut it as thin as possible." Master Rong said.

The original owner grew up by the sea since she was a child, and killing fish fillets is her specialty. Beibei moved very quickly, and within a short while removed the bone, skinned and sliced ​​a sweet-scented osmanthus fish and placed it in a in a large plate.

The fish slices that Beibei cut were not thin, but she put the sliced ​​fish slices on the plate to form a fish shape, which was very beautiful.

Master Rong rarely showed a smile, and said: "Girl, your knife skills are still far from a real good cook, but you made up for the lack of this aspect in arranging plates, and you did a good job!"

Master Rong is still very satisfied that he can only think of the point of making use of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.

Beibei thinks that this arrangement has something in common with her learning to paint. In Beibei's eyes, this arrangement is also a kind of art, just like she learned how to make shell ornaments, she can learn it quickly.

Thinking of this, Beibei asked excitedly: "Master, when will you teach me to use radishes, vegetables and other ingredients to carve and decorate?"

"Before I learned how to walk, I want to run. Be careful not to fall!" Master Rong said angrily, "If you want to learn how to carve ingredients, wait until you can cut fish fillets as thin as paper."

"Yes!" Beibei looked disappointed.

"Girl, if you are in the county in the future, come here every day. I will teach you how to cook a dish every day. Once you have learned all the dishes I taught you, you can become a teacher."

"Master, I've only just started learning. Why do you expect me to be a teacher? I'm not a genius!" Beibei looked at her master suspiciously.

She remembered that Senior Brother Ling Zhaoan once told her that he had been a teacher for many years, and he had only learned [-]-[-]% of his uncle's cooking skills. Just learn everything, right?

Master Rong frowned, and said displeasedly: "You all know that you are just starting to learn, and you don't have confidence at the beginning, how can you learn cooking well?"

Beibei cheered up and said: "Master, don't worry, I will work hard!"

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to make lunch, and you will come over after breakfast tomorrow." Master Rong chased away after finishing speaking.

Beibei went to the inner courtyard to pick up Mancang from Qiao Qiongyan, and then went to Hongfu Restaurant.

In the past few days, because of the theft of the sauce, shopkeeper Sun deliberately put down the restaurant and went to the sauce shop to help. He didn't go there after being scared away by Qiongyan yesterday.

Now that the results of the yamen's handling came out, Beibei naturally wanted to tell shopkeeper Sun about the results quickly so that he wouldn't worry.

Beibei and Mancang sat in the restaurant for a while and then took Mancang for shopping. Shopkeeper Sun originally asked the siblings to have lunch in the restaurant, but Beibei declined.

In the past, she had no choice but to eat and drink at Hongfu Restaurant, but now that her shop is also in the county town, how can she have the audacity to eat and drink here?
It was Mancang's first visit to the county street, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, dazzled.

But Mancang knew that things in the county were expensive, so he didn't dare to ask his sister to buy the things he liked even more. Finally, Beibei saw that Mancang had been staring at a woodcut colorful little fox fascinated, so he bought it for six taels of silver.

This woodcut little fox was only as big as a palm, but it was carved so vividly that Mancang liked it very much. He held the little fox in his arms with one hand, and took his sister's hand with the other, happily going back to the shop.

It was already noon when the siblings returned to the sauce shop, and there were no customers in the shop. Widow Liu had already cooked the food and stewed chicken soup for Mancang.

"Sister Shuilan, look at the little fox my sister bought for me." She presented the little fox in front of Shuilan as if she was full of treasures, and said happily.

"Hehe, it's so pretty!" Shui Lan laughed.

"Young master, have a bowl of chicken soup first and then porridge." Widow Liu placed the soup in front of Mancang.

"Full warehouse, wash your hands and eat. I'll teach you how to draw a fox after dinner." Beibei pursed her lips and said.

Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and hurried into the kitchen, scooped water from the water tank to wash it, then ran back to the dining room, and finished a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of porridge.

Beibei was both angry and funny, and said: "After eating, go to the inner courtyard for a walk to digest the food. I will go in and teach you after eating."

"Okay, sister, I'm going to eat now!"

Beibei stayed in the county for another three days. She went to the General's Mansion every morning to learn cooking skills for about an hour, and then returned to the shop to make some sauces and cooking wine. Just tell stories to Mancang, and live a busy and fulfilling life.

Just the day before Beibei returned to the fishing village, Lu Hui brought Duan Yixu's personal letter to the No. [-] Sauce Shop.

After reading the letter, Beibei frowned thoughtfully.

Duan Yixu said that before he left, he asked Duan Xin to find a kung fu master for Manfeng and the others, and he would go to the fishing village to teach them Kungfu for half a day every day. But Beibei was still not at ease.
