The two chef apprentices were finally found and they were talented. Although the dishes that Yu Fu cooked could not be compared to Bu Fang's, it was enough to make customers want to pay for it, which was already a big improvement.
Xiao Xiaolong had just become an apprentice so he would require more practice and experience before he could reach Yu Fu's level.
All these required time to train. After all, culinary skills were not something that could be achieved overnight. Real chefs underwent countless practices to attain that level of ability.
In the following half a month or so, Bu Fang remained in the store to teach Yu Fu and Xiao Xiaolong culinary techniques and ways to cook dishes, mainly the signature dishes, Egg-Fried Rice, Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Red Braised Meat. These were the store's best-selling dishes.
Every morning, a rhythmic sound could be heard from the shop. This was the sound produced when the knife and the cutting board collided.
Bu Fang, Xiao Xiaolong and Yu Fu were meticulous when holding and using the knife to cut the ingredients. This was to train their cutting skills.
Xiao Xiaolong originally intended to stay in the store itself, but Bu Fang rejected him as there was only one guest room in the store, which was already taken by Yu Fu. Although Xiao Xialong's appearance was average, he was still a male. Bu Fang knew clearly that he had to separate the two of opposite genders.
The operation of the store was now on the right track and with the help of Xiaolong and Yu Fu, Bu Fang's stress has been reduced significantly. Bu Fang taught them daily and after training for half a month, they could now cook pretty well.
”Host, may I have your attention please. The first Delicacy Map Transmission will begin in two hours…”
Bu Fang was barely awake from his sleep and the solemn and strict sound of the system was lingering in his mind. He blanked out for a moment, feeling a little confused.
”It will start in two hours?” Bu Fang yawned and got out of bed. There were still two hours, it is still early.
After washing up in the bathroom, Bu Fang casually waved his hand and took out a notebook wrapped in cow skin from the system's storage space. The notebook was titled Recipe Notebook.
This was Bu Fang's reward for completing the abrupt mission. This was an ancient notebook, and it even had an ancient formation carved on it.
Flipping open the cow skin cover, there was only a piece of stainless, pure white paper.
”This recipe notebook, how do I use it...” Bu Fang did not have a clue. However, since it was the reward for the temporary mission, it should not be such a simple notebook.
After reading through it once, Bu Fang felt a little bored. There was only blank paper with no content at all.
Bu Fang stored the notebook and placed some casual clothing into the system's storage space, then walked out of the room, entering the kitchen.
Xiao Xiaolong came very early in the morning, cutting the ingredients with two knives in the kitchen.
”Good morning, boss!” Xiao Xiaolong raised his neck in his free time and greeted Bu Fang as he saw him.
Ever since he got in touch with culinary, Xiao Xiaolong was simply addicted to it. This genius now held a knife instead of a pen and really enjoyed himself.
Bu Fang nodded his head, pleasingly looking at the two hardworking people while smiling.
Yu Fu was now closer to Bu Fang, hence she was no longer as shy as before. She also smiled brightly when she saw Bu Fang.
”I would be out for a few days, so the two of you share be responsible for running the store. In this period, the operation and the dishes of the store will rest on you both. Please do not tarnish our reputation,” Bu Fang stood between the both of them and gently said.
”Eh?” Xiao Xiaolong and Yu Fu were stunned and raised their heads. Owner Bu was leaving the store?
”Owner Bu, where are you going? The shop cannot live without you... We are so confused.” Xiao Xiaolong put down the knives in his hands and looked at Bu Fang anxiously.
What Bu Fang actually tried to do was to tell them that it was time to showcase their skills... But the two of them were still lacking confidence. After all, Bu Fang was there guiding them how to cook daily. With Bu Fang around, they would feel more secure.
