Ye Zhiqiu washed his hands and returned to the living room to sit down. He smiled awkwardly and asked, "Grandpa Chen, I came here this time to ask for something else. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Chen Renfu was surprised and asked, "What's the matter? If you have something to say, just tell me. How can I know if you can agree to it if you don't tell me?"

Ye Zhiqiu lit a cigarette, and the old man and the young man took a puff. Then he said, "This is it, Grandpa Chen, as you know, I am a buyer now.

I have some connections and can get some supplies, but I don't know how to use them, so I want to learn some skills. After talking to Director Chen about it, he said that you used to be a senior chef and had some apprentices.

So he asked me to become your apprentice, and I wanted to give it a try and learn some cooking skills. I wonder if you can agree to this?"

Chen Renfu looked at Ye Zhiqiu carefully. He had never expected that Ye Zhiqiu would make such a request. Because many people who have jobs to support their families would not choose to learn the craft of cooking.

Because in the past, the job of a cook was to serve people! But he saw Ye Zhiqiu's face, looking at him very seriously.

So Chen Renfu was puzzled and said, "You little brat, you already have a job and a household registration! Why do you still want to learn to be a cook and wait on people?"

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Grandpa Chen, they say that even in times of famine, a chef will never starve to death. I just want to learn more cooking skills! Please agree to it. I think calling you Master is more pleasant!"

Chen Renfu couldn't help but laugh at this. This little guy is a real grandson! Just like his own grandson and granddaughter, they are both shameless!

However, Chen Renfu thought it was okay, but he couldn't change the pot now, otherwise he would want to take this guy down!

Because he felt that Ye Zhiqiu was quite compatible with him, and his shamelessness was as great as his in the past!

Because Chen Renfu was scolded by others for learning cooking, but he could still laugh and help others scold himself! It's because he just wanted to learn a skill that could support himself and make a living...

So he said with a stern face: "In principle, I agree, but whether my apprentice is willing to accept you or not, I can't decide for them... Hey, don't..."

When Ye Zhiqiu heard that he agreed, he knelt down and kowtowed three times without saying anything, not giving Chen Renfu any chance to refuse.

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Master, I kowtow to you. I'll leave it to you to arrange my master's affairs!"

Chen Renfu said with a bit of a smile: "Little bastard, why are you so anxious? Do you want to offer me tea?"

Ye Zhiqiu picked up Chen Renfu's teacup and said with a smile, "Master, please have some tea!"

Chen Renfu sighed, then took the teacup and took a sip. He said helplessly, "Since you're so interested, I'll take you in. I'll have Yimin call his disciples over later. Whoever takes a liking to you, you can become their disciple!"

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely follow my master and learn cooking skills well. I won't embarrass you!"

"You little rascal, you're about 70% as shameless as I was back then..."

Ye Zhiqiu knew about this, and it was settled! All he had to do next was wait for someone to arrive and see who would become his master. Since the master had already accepted him, he couldn't let them refuse!

Ye Zhiqiu chatted and laughed with Chen Renfu for a while, and told him about Chen Yimin's suggestion to call his junior brother over tonight.

Sun Lai Di walked into the living room and asked with a smile, "Dad, how would you like to eat chicken and rabbit today? I'll prepare the side dishes first."

Chen Renfu said cheerfully, "Laidi, don't bother. Wang Lei and Li Bicheng will be here soon. Let them each come up with two dishes. Let's see who this brat wants to learn cooking from!"

Ye Zhiqiu said proudly: "Aunt Master, this time I call you like this, but it's true. Master Master has already agreed to accept me!"

Sun Lai Di laughed heartily and said, "Haha, this is great news! Congratulations, Dad, for having such a smart and clever grand-disciple!"

Chen Renfu said with a smile: "This little rascal knelt down and kowtowed before I could even finish my words. I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to!"

"How could that be? It's all because of Master's kindness to me! Otherwise, no matter how many times I kowtow, I won't be in your eyes!"

"This kid talks so funny!"

We were chatting and laughing here, and at half past five, the bicycle bell rang.

Sun Lai Di went out to greet them, and soon two men came in, one fat, one thin, one tall, one short. Ye Zhiqiu knew that these two men were Chen Renfu's apprentices.

"Master, how are you feeling lately?"

"Master, I recently got some dried ginseng. Can you come over and give me some guidance someday?"

Chen Renfu laughed and scolded, "How could I be in bad health? You two guys keep asking me for advice all day long. I've taught you everything I need to know! The rest of the way is up to you to figure out on your own!"

This kid's name is Ye Zhiqiu. He's a buyer at the brewery. He wants to learn cooking, and I've already taken him in! Listen carefully, he's a buyer!

You two go to the kitchen and each of you cook two dishes from the dishes he brought, and then see who he chooses as his master."

Ye Zhiqiu was still confused. Shouldn't he have asked the two of them who was willing to take him in as an apprentice? How did it become that he had to choose his own master?

Hearing Chen Renfu's words, both of them brightened up! Hello, buyer! Now they both run a public-private joint restaurant!

But things like meat and vegetables are all allocated in limited quantities! If I can accept this, the purchasing apprentice who can buy things everywhere will naturally have ingredients to cook!

The situation is so troublesome now. The rationed supplies have been decreasing since April. They say that they want to fully supply all the major high-end restaurants and hotels.

Chen Renfu pointed at the fat man who was about 1.65 meters tall and said, "Stinky boy, even though your factory director has no cooking skills, according to the rules he is your uncle.

This is my second apprentice, Wang Lei, and that tall, thin fellow is my third apprentice, Li Bicheng. Follow them to the kitchen and let them demonstrate their cooking skills. Then decide who you want to become your apprentice.

Ye Zhiqiu quickly said to the two of them, "Thank you both elders. My name is Ye Zhiqiu, and you can just call me Xiaoye."

Wang Lei said cheerfully, "Xiao Ye, there's no need to choose. Just worship me. Following me will definitely bring you good things!"

Li Bicheng was not happy, he said jokingly: "Second Brother, look at your stomach, all the fat and water have gone into your stomach, how can Xiaoye eat and drink spicy food with you?

"Xiao Ye, you'd better worship me. I will definitely teach you all the skills I've learned, and I won't keep anything back!"

"Don't listen to him. His state-owned restaurant is out of quota. If you go there, you'll just have to learn how to stir-fry vegetables every day!"

"Bullshit, you have a quota? The quotas in both our restaurants are the same!"

Listening to the two people quarreling, Ye Zhiqiu didn’t even realize that he was so popular.
