It was not an easy task to teach a disciple who had no foundation in knife skills, or was completely led astray.
Fortunately, Mara had a good understanding and was very motivated. Plus, Meg had a golden finger to help her.
After an afternoon of practice, Mara was able to cut potatoes into thin slices of uniform size.
"Hmm, not bad. I'll give you this cleaver. Practice your cutting skills at home when you have time." Mag nodded with satisfaction at the sight of Mara slowly but steadily slicing a potato.
"Really? Master, this knife … is for me? "
Mara looked at Meg with surprise. Although this kitchen knife was square, it was much better than the one she had at home.
After spending an afternoon with Mag, Mara had already changed her address to Master after getting Mag's approval.
"Of course." Meg nodded with a smile. "Let's call it a day. We'll go back after dinner."
"Okay." Mara nodded. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "Then … my miss …"
"Miss Effie?"
"She doesn't know how to cook." Mara nodded.
"Then you go and ask her to come over for dinner." Meg smiled. He also remembered that he was busy teaching Mara at noon and forgot to ask Effie to recommend waiters.
"Okay, thank you master." Mara smiled and put all the potato slices into a basin. Master said that they could be used to make mashed potatoes and potato cakes.
"Are you going to ask Mara to cook dishes with wine in the future?" Irina looked at Mara who trotted out and turned to Meg who was wearing an apron and preparing to cook.
"Yes, this child is very talented in cooking and is very enthusiastic. I'm going to teach her to cook a few dishes with wine to maintain the competitiveness of Saipan Tavern." Meg nodded.
However, he was directly poaching Effie's staff. Whether he could succeed or not depended on Effie's attitude. He couldn't do it by force.
"Miss, master asked me to call you to dinner." Mara ran back to the tavern and shouted loudly. Before she saw anyone, she smelled a burnt smell coming from the kitchen, accompanied by smoke.
"Is it on fire? Miss, are you alright? "Mara rushed to the kitchen and kicked the kitchen door open.
Then, she saw Eiffel with a spatula in his hand and a face full of soot. His eyes were red from the smoke as he turned around.
Inside the pot, there was a black, indescribable object that was emitting scorched smoke.
Mara was stunned. She coughed a few times as she choked on the smoke. Only then did she come back to her senses. She hurriedly ran to the water tank at the side and scooped a spoonful of water into the pot to cool down the indescribable object that had been burned to ashes. She then opened the kitchen window to let the smoke out.
After doing all this, Mara pulled Efie out of the kitchen and looked at Efie with a puzzled expression. "Miss, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you want to burn charcoal by yourself? "
"Go … Go to hell." Efie's face flushed red. Fortunately, there was a layer of soot on the outside, so it couldn't be seen. He turned his head away and lowered his voice. "I … I just wanted to cook."
"From the looks of it, it doesn't look like you were cooking. If I came back a little later, the neighbors would have rushed in to put out the fire." Mara shook her head seriously.
"If I say so, then so be it." Efie waved the spatula in his hand and looked at Mara. "You learned how to cook?"
Mara pulled out a kitchen knife with a whoosh.
"Wh … What are you doing? Rebelling? " Efie looked at the knife in Mara's hand and then looked at the spatula in his hand. He became a little unconfident.
"No, this is the kitchen knife that master gave me." Mara smiled and shook her head. She even waved it in the air. "It's very useful."
Efie was a little surprised. "Master? Mr. Hades accepted you as his disciple? "
"Yes, Mr. Hades agreed to let me call him master. Today is the first time I learned that a kitchen knife can be used like this." Mara nodded with a face full of happiness.
Efie's face was full of envy, but he still curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just cooking? I can do it too."
"You are setting fire!" Mara corrected him.
"Damn girl, your wings have hardened." Efie raised the spatula in his hand.
"No, no, no, my Miss is the best. Master told me to call Miss to eat. Let's go wash our face and change our clothes first. "Mara quickly said.
"Did Mr. Hades specially tell you to call me to eat?" Efie's movements stopped and there was a bit of joy in his eyes.
"No, I was worried that you would be hungry at home, so I specially told Master." Mara shook her head honestly.
"Humph." Efie snorted, but she still put down the spatula in her hand and went upstairs to change her clothes and wash her face.
Efie changed her clothes, washed her face, and put on some light makeup before bringing Mara to Saipan Tavern.
During dinner, Meg looked at Efie, and asked, "Miss Efie, we are new here, and we want to recruit a few waiters, but we haven't found any suitable candidates. Do you know anyone?"
"Mr. Hades wants to recruit waiters?"
Efie looked at Meg, and understood after thinking for a moment. Saipan Tavern's business was booming now, and Mr. Hades' family obviously couldn't handle it alone.
The Titan Tavern had eight waiters, and she felt a little overwhelmed these two days, so she planned to recruit two more waiters.
"What kind of waiters do you want to recruit? How much is the salary? "Efie asked.
"They have to be nimble and generous, and it would be best if they are slightly younger. In terms of salary, it should be about 5,000 copper coins a month. Of course, if they are good enough, you can increase it, "Meg said.
Mag didn't expect to be able to wait for service staff to come knocking on his door like he did in Chaos City. He just wanted to be able to use them immediately.
Efie pondered for a moment, and said, "I do know a few of them. How about this? Are you free tomorrow afternoon? I can ask them to come to your tavern, and you can talk to them in person. "
"Thank you very much." Meg's eyes lit up. He had found the right person.
After dinner, Efie and Mara bade farewell, and it was time for the Titan Tavern to open for business.
After exiting the Saipan Tavern, Mara looked at Efie with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Young Mistress, didn't you make an appointment with those waiters yourself?"
Efie shook her head with a smile, and said, "Mr. Hades has more manpower than us. He has helped us so much, so this is nothing."
"Oh." Mara nodded. After thinking for a while, she said, "In that case, I will go and help Master."
Efie turned to look at Mara with a hint of a smile, and said, "Why? You want to run away from me so soon?"
