Gu Qingshi had a biological mother, but her mother only treated her stepchildren well, like a stepmother to her. She had a fiancé, but he was stolen by her stepsister's schemes. Her stepsister...
Chapter 134 We are the most tacit existence
Da Huang tilted his head to look at Qin Zeming's wrinkled photo, seemingly not understanding. Fang Wen awkwardly straightened him out and whispered to Da Huang, "This was originally a good idea. The boss really hates people with the last name Qin, so I specifically asked him to hit the photo to vent his anger."
"The photo is not important. Da Huang, you remember this person, right? Can we make a deal?"
It is said that Dahuang is very smart, but Fang Wen talked for a long time and didn't know whether it understood or not. When he was feeling confused, he heard Baiyang calling for dinner. Fang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and was temporarily relieved.
This was the first meal Bai Yang cooked for Lu Yuan and Fang Wen after returning from cooking school. Although he tried very hard, the time was too short and he was afraid that he would still make no progress. He looked at them nervously and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Fang Wen, if there is anything wrong, just tell me."
"Very good, there has been progress."
"That's good." Bai Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "I actually invited Master today, but I don't know if he can come."
As soon as he finished speaking, an unhappy voice came from the door, "When did I acknowledge you as my apprentice? You haven't even performed the apprenticeship ceremony, so why do you call me master?"
"Master, you're here!" Bai Yang got up in delight and went to greet him, "I thought you weren't coming."
"snort."
Gu Qingshi first met Bai Yang's master, Chef Guan. It was said that Chef Guan had a good personality when he was young, but he was later betrayed by the apprentice whom he had raised and taught, and even his shop was taken away.
Later, he met Lu Yuan, who helped him take the shop back. Although he got his revenge, he became a little disheartened, let alone taking in disciples.
This time, Lu Yuan asked Fang Wen to send Bai Yang over without saying hello. Chef Guan was very unhappy but he couldn't refuse.
However, Bai Yang was talented and hardworking, and the child was honest and willing to work hard. Although he was forced to teach at the beginning, he taught with all his heart later.
After this teaching, Bai Yang's cooking skills improved significantly. He was planning to teach him for two years, but Bai Yang said he wanted to go back because the shop was open, which made Chef Guan very angry.
Although I was angry, I still came here. I also wanted to try the dish that even Lu Yuan praised.
"Master, please try it." Bai Yang was busy serving the chef, waiting for him to sit down, and carefully handed him the chopsticks.
Chef Guan didn't hold it in. He just said, "Of course I'll try it. If it's not good, don't blame me for being rude."
After chewing it for a few times, Chef Guan's expression changed slightly, "Is this the vegetable you mentioned that is grown especially well?"
"Yes, Master. Isn't it delicious?"
"Well, this dish is amazing. If you can cook it with your 30% cooking skills, you can get 70% or 80%." Chef Guan took two more bites, feeling satisfied but regretful. "If I make it, it will definitely taste better than this."
Chef Guan seldom cooks by himself nowadays, and he wasn't in the mood, but this dish made him eager to try.
Every chef wants the best ingredients, and he is no surprise.
"Of course, Master, you will definitely do it differently." Bai Yang didn't think much about it and just nodded stupidly.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and when he looked up and saw Gu Qingshi, his eyes lit up and he said, "It is our honor that Chef Guan likes the vegetables we grow, but we have a rule that these vegetables are only for our own use and not for sale."
Bai Yang nodded and said, "Yes, Master, we don't provide takeout, but I can deliver if you like."
Gu Qingshi interrupted Bai Yang and said, "Chef Guan, if you like, you can come to our Gu's kitchen and try to cook. No matter what dish it is, you can use chicken, duck, fish or meat and cook it as you like."
Bai Yang turned around and looked at Gu Qing in a daze, wanting to say that he had promised the master that he would deliver the food.
Seeing Bai Yang anxiously wanting to speak but hesitant, Chef Guan couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "Alright, go to the side first."
He looked at Gu Qingshi and asked, "Boss Gu, are you trying to use these delicious dishes to lure me into working as a chef at Gu's Kitchen?"
"It would be an honor for Gu's Kitchen if Chef Guan could come. But even if he is not a chef, it would be fine for him to come here and cook some dishes you like and give some pointers to your apprentice Bai Yang."
Of course Gu Qingshi wanted to be a chef like Chef Guan, but she also knew that although everyone was admiring her now, Gu’s Kitchen was still too small, so she wanted to use some small tricks.
"You little girl, you have the potential to be a profiteer at such a young age. You are still my apprentice, but you are not even my apprentice."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingshi kicked Bai Yang's knees, making him kneel in front of Chef Guan. "If you pay homage, you will be my master. Brother, please pay homage to me."
Chef Guan stared at Gu Qingshi's series of smooth movements and said, "You"
Bai Yang was also confused, and whispered to Gu Qingshi, "Qingshi, Master said before that he didn't want to accept me as his apprentice, and I just asked him to do it out of shamelessness."
Bai Yang is honest and doesn't want to make things difficult for Chef Guan.
Gu Qingshi gritted his teeth, "I've taught you so much, you should just worship me."
This silly brother, if Chef Guan really didn’t want to accept him, he wouldn’t have come today, and he wouldn’t have mentioned becoming his apprentice twice.
Lu Yuan suppressed his laughter and personally placed a cup of tea in Bai Yang's hand, "Listen to Qing Shi, bye."
Seeing Gu Qingshi's praiseful look, Lu Yuan curled his lips, happy for the tacit understanding between them.
Bai Yang bowed without knowing what was going on, and offered tea earnestly, "Master, have some tea."
Chef Guan snorted, "It's not that easy to become a disciple. You have to find an auspicious day and time to worship the ancestors. What you did doesn't count. Besides, you don't have much confidence in your cooking skills yet. You still need to practice."
Gu Qingshi's guess was correct. In fact, Chef Guan regretted his previous words, which were too decisive. He said that he would never accept an apprentice. However, he wanted to save face, and because of what happened to his previous apprentice, he was a little afraid, so his attitude was a little contradictory.
But Gu Qingshi's move made him feel less awkward and he finally let out some information.
"Don't worry, Chef Guan. If there are any requests, I will pay them back later. My brother will also work hard, but I will have to trouble you to guide him from time to time."
"Since you guys are so sincere and the food is pretty good, I'll just accept it with reluctance. I'll come over when I have time, but how much he can understand depends on himself."
"As for the true apprenticeship, let's wait until he finishes his apprenticeship. I don't want him to go out and say that he is my apprentice and embarrass me."
After saying that, Chef Guan took the tea from Bai Yang's hand and said, "Get up." This silly boy, if he didn't have a smart sister, he would be so angry that he would die.
Although Bai Yang didn't fully understand what was going on at the moment, he knew what was good for him. He knew that he had finally gained Chef Guan's recognition, or had the opportunity to continue learning from Chef Guan, and he grinned with joy.
"That's great, Master. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to learn from you in the future. Don't worry, if you like this dish, I will find a way to send it to you in the future, even if I have to steal it for you." The last sentence was said in a low voice.
Chef Guan thought to himself, why do I need you to steal? If I came, your sister would be so happy.
But Bai Yang treated him sincerely, and although he was not that smart, it made him feel at ease. His previous apprentice was smart and could read the expressions, so he didn't have to worry too much. But in the end, he was too smart and betrayed his master and ancestors, so it was okay to be a little stupid.
