Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 497【Gift】

  Yang Yiyuan didn't bother with eating pancakes this time. He was very excited. He grabbed the shovel and bamboo rake, took two deep breaths, and then began to imitate Fang Chang's movements just now and tried to make them.

  He concentrated on scooping the batter and pouring it on the iron plate, and started to operate in a decent manner.

  The whole process was barely smooth. After all, it was the first attempt. In many places, he showed confusion, and the pancakes were not even enough and had cracks. Of course, the pancakes produced in this way are enough to be sold out just by looking at the appearance, because all kinds of seasonings are complete, and there is no burnt or undercooked place, so they taste the same.

  Fang Chang saw that he handed over the pancake wrapped in yellow paper nervously, took a bite, tasted it, and said with a smile:

   "It seems that you have really learned something, and you did it well the first time."

  So Fang Chang kept talking, biting the pancakes, and said to Yang Yiyuan: "Go on, make another one, I hope you can be more proficient this time."

  The young man nodded, wiped the iron plate, and spread another spoonful of batter on it.

  Yang Yiyuan has made significant progress this time, whether it is the appearance of the pancakes or the smoothness of making them. It seems that in this regard, he not only has a good understanding, but also really puts his heart into it.

  Fang Chang was very satisfied, he said to the young man:

   "It seems that you can do well, eat the pancakes, and I will test you in the afternoon."

  Yang Yiyuan was shocked and said curiously:

   "What test?"

   "There will be customers coming in the afternoon, you will sell the cakes, and you will also be responsible for collecting money and settling accounts. I hope you will not make any mistakes."

   "Ah... can I?" When things came to an end, Yang Yiyuan became less confident.

   "How will you know if you don't try, and don't be afraid, I will watch from the side." Fang Chang comforted.

So the pancakes with two eggs were fragrant and fragrant, but the young man didn't taste much. He thought over and over again in his mind what to do next, recalled every detail carefully, and thought about what he would do when the customers came. How to talk and how to respond.

   As a result, he became more and more uncertain, and even a little flustered.

   Fortunately, the arrival of the first customer put an end to the boy's anxiety.

   "Excuse me, what is this called? How do you sell it?" The person who came was a middle-aged man with relatively new clothes. He looked more relaxed and looked good. Fang Chang patted Yang Yiyuan's back lightly, and the young man woke up suddenly, and immediately went forward to meet him.

  He tried hard to put on a smiling face, and then responded smoothly with a proficiency that he had never expected:

   "Guest, come here? These are pancakes, a new food that has just appeared in the city recently. It tastes good and the price is not expensive. It only costs four yuan a piece. If you get five yuan, you can add an extra egg."

   "Okay, then I'll do one."

  The boy immediately knew what he should do next, just like when he was practicing.

  But I don’t know, this is because he has just used enough heart to observe and learn, and subconsciously already knows how to deal with it, which can be regarded as a kind of practice makes perfect in disguise.

The customer didn't see anything at all, and didn't know that the young man in front of him was a novice. He just watched Yang Yiyuan's movements carefully, watching him operate smoothly on an iron plate, adding various raw materials and ingredients, using skilled techniques, Make a delicious pancake.

  So the customer paid happily and took the pancake from Yang Yiyuan.

  Because the pancakes were very hot, the other party poured their hands several times in succession, kept blowing in their mouths, and then opened their mouths to eat them regardless of the heat. Obviously the aroma of the pancakes was too tempting.

  This successful start greatly boosted Yang Yiyuan's confidence.

  Next, with more and more people, Yang Yiyuan made pancakes more and more times, and his speed became faster and more proficient. By the evening rush hour, he seemed to be a pro at handling the huge increase in customer numbers.

"You are very good today." Fang Chang praised when closing the stall in the evening. He made two pancakes and asked Yang Yiyuan to take them home for his mother to taste. Come here, just like this afternoon, making pancakes for sale."

   "Okay, Shopkeeper Fang." The young man nodded and agreed. After the afternoon's exercise, he was already full of confidence.

  ...

   For three consecutive days, Fang Chang met Yang Yiyuan on time in the morning.

  The other party is already proficient in all the steps of making pancakes, even if he buys some tools to open a stall by himself now, it is more than enough.

   But he is obviously a trustworthy person, even if he is not paid by Fang Chang, he still comes every day as scheduled to make pancakes for sale. Fang Chang took Maza with him, and he sat on the side basking in the sun. To him, a noisy street corner is no different from an empty cliff.

  Because he stayed in this street for a long time, he inadvertently made it bustling.

  After all, Fang Chang's practice, since passing a certain threshold, has already reached the point where it is running at any time, swallowing the inspiration of the world at any time, and the surrounding environment has also benefited from it and has become more aura.

  On the evening of the third day, Fang Chang put away the stall, but he didn't carry it on his shoulders.

He called Yang Yiyuan, a young man who was about to leave, and said to him: "You have done very well these few days, and you have already mastered your skills. Give this set to you. Since I promised to teach you, even these things will be included over there." Granted, it's nothing to me, but it's not easy for you to set up such a set."

Yang Yiyuan immediately shook his head: "Master Fang, this is not acceptable. I came here to steal a lesson, and I am grateful that you did not dislike it and did not pursue it. You promised me to learn crafts here. It is already a great kindness. How can I take your food? ? This is really not a son of man."

Fang Chang smiled and said: "Actually, I just made these on a whim. Next, I will go to other places and stop making pancakes. Since you have learned this craft, go ahead and carry it forward, so that there will be no pancakes in the world. Isn’t it a great loss for the world?”

  Although Fang Chang said so, Yang Yiyuan firmly refused:

"This is inappropriate. According to the rules of other places, you must first be an apprentice for a few years to learn a craft. You don't get any wages, and you can learn the craft after a few years. With you, I learned how to make pancakes that day. It’s Sansheng’s fortune, and if I receive these guys’ things from you again, I will be poked in the back by someone who knows.”

"Unless you are willing to accept me as an apprentice. Anyway, it's just a nameless one now. Next, I will respect you as my master. I will respect half of the money I earn in three years. This is also recognized as an appropriate way in some places. .”

Fang Chang still shook his head, he thought Yang Yiyuan was qualified to accept his gift after observing for a few days, after all, he always gave things according to his own mood, but it was far away from accepting an apprentice: "No, you don't Count me as an apprentice, because making pancakes is just a whim, and I don't plan to keep doing it."

  Seeing that Yang Yiyuan refused to accept his resignation, Fang Chang felt a little helpless, so he resorted to a unique trick.

  He turned around and disappeared on the spot.
