When Li Yu and his family returned, the meal was already prepared.

Lin Fei made some of the dishes that are often served in the restaurant.

The Zhong, Wang and Zhao families each prepared their own specialties, and the meal was very sumptuous.

Only after everyone was seated did Old Man Lin pick up his wine glass.

"Everyone who can drink, have a drink. Your mother and I are very happy today. We have a scholar in our family."

After saying that, he drank it in one breath.

Because he drank too quickly, he coughed a few times. Uncle Lin quickly stood up and patted him on the back.

"Dad, it's okay to drink if you're happy, but please drink slowly. Drinking too quickly is bad for your health."

The others followed suit.

"I was so happy that I couldn't control myself. I won't do it again next time. Let's eat quickly. We still have to keep going after we finish eating," he said.

When Li Yu had almost finished eating, he asked Zhong: "Sister-in-law, how is it? How is your eldest son's cooking?"

"You know what, he's acting like a chef now. Just now, when I saw him chopping and cooking vegetables in the kitchen, I couldn't even say that this was my eldest son who couldn't even hold a kitchen knife properly." Mrs. Zhong said happily.

How could she not be happy that her eldest son had a skill to rely on?

Lin Fei's wife, Cui, also said to Li Yu: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for your care and guidance for Tiantian's father."

Li Yu waved his hand.

"What's there to thank me for? Ah Fei came to help me, so isn't it my duty to teach him?

When he can start teaching apprentices, Ah Hai's wife and I will no longer stay in the kitchen, and he will be in charge of the entire kitchen."

"Thank you, Second Aunt. I will work hard to learn the skills." Lin Fei quickly expressed his opinion.

"Second Aunt believes in you, eat quickly."

At this time, Wang also sighed: "Second sister-in-law, you are really capable. You have taught Ah Fei, a boy who can't cook, how to cook.

Look at this braised pork, it’s much better than the one made by Old Liu in our village who cooks for banquets.”

In fact, braised pork is not difficult to make. As long as you have the seasoning and know the steps, anyone can make it.

Maybe the villagers don’t know how to cook it, so others think it doesn’t taste good.

People of this era probably don’t know that sugar can be used in cooking.

"With more practice, Ah Fei will need to learn for another year or so before he can become a master and cook independently," said Li Yu.

"I understand, Master."

The word "Master" made Li Yu feel strange. She didn't think she could be a good master to others. The meaning of a master in ancient times was much greater than that of a modern master.

In ancient times, a master not only had to teach things, but also had to teach how to be a good person. The power was even so great that it could decide the lifelong affairs of the apprentice. So Li Yu had no intention of accepting a disciple. Of course, teaching things did not count.

"You kid, why do you call me master when I teach you to cook a few dishes? You still call me second aunt like before." Li Yu said.

Lin Fei is a straightforward person: "I didn't think of this before, but I heard some time ago that to learn skills, you have to find a master and call him Master."

…

"We're a family, it doesn't matter. Second Aunt is very nice and kind." Li Yu insisted.

At this time, Uncle Lin spoke up: "Now that Ah Fei mentioned it, I also think it would be better to become his disciple. I heard from others that apprentices often serve their masters, serving tea and water."

?

"Ah? No? I asked him to learn a skill to help me, not to serve me tea and water. We don't learn that kind of thing in our family."

Li Yu refused to be served tea or water. She was not a real ancient person, so there was no need to do that.

Finally, it was Old Man Lin who said, "How about this? Let's become his disciple. We can continue as we were before. It sounds better to have a master-disciple relationship."

If it was just a name, Li Yu could accept it.

"Okay, that's it. But from now on, you still have to call me Second Aunt. Master, I'm not used to hearing that."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Second Aunt, I understand."

Later, Lin Fei took advantage of the fact that there were many people present today and kowtowed to Li Yu and offered him tea in front of everyone.

Li Yu really couldn't believe that he could actually accept a disciple.

After dinner, the family took a mule cart back to town. This time it was not as crowded as last time.

The ox cart that Uncle Lin’s family brought back last time also went back with them, so there was plenty of space on both carts.

Li Yu and his team came back in such a hurry this time that they didn't even have time to go back and see how their factory building was progressing.

But she still believed in Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin.

Honest people are the most down-to-earth and persistent in doing things.

However, before leaving, Li Yu still gave Lin Jie some instructions.

"Ajie, thank you, your father, and your grandfather for taking care of this. If you don't have enough materials or money, come to town and find me. Don't pass off inferior goods as good ones. It's better to spend more money."

Lin Jie assured her, "Second Aunt, we're taking care of you, don't worry. I'll come back to you if I need anything."

"Okay, let me know when it's finished."

After that, the family set off.
