Ye Zhiqiu said proudly: "I now have two masters. Today I am learning from one master, and tomorrow I will go to the other master to learn cooking techniques.

In ten days or half a month, I can become a great chef! Come and try it and see how it tastes."

There are only four dishes tonight: a dish of twice-cooked pork with cabbage, a dish of roasted fish slices, a dish of pork slices with cucumber, and finally a dish of cold shredded lettuce made with sesame paste.

These dishes were all cooked in the kitchen of Baiweiju today. They were approved by Wang Lei and have reached the passing standard for sale.

After raising their glasses and taking a sip, everyone started to eat.

I have to say that the feedback was very good. Listening to everyone's praise, Ye Zhiqiu still felt quite accomplished!

He Yongjun pointed at the twice-cooked pork and said, "I've had this dish in a restaurant before, and it tastes pretty much like this! My dear brother, the master you worshipped is really teaching you some skills!"

Ma Banghua also smiled and said, "That's right. If other people become apprentices, they usually have to serve as apprentices for three years. During these three years, they just do odd jobs and learn nothing at all!

After three years, if the master is satisfied that the apprentice is diligent enough and has good moral character, then he will start teaching the apprentice personally.

Speaking of these old rules, they are really troublesome enough, so Ye Zhiqiu also thinks that Wang Lei, such a good master, is quite rare.

What Ye Zhiqiu didn't know was that when Chen Renfu accepted them as his disciples, it was because his three disciples were all beggars on the street.

So after he adopted the three of them, he taught them how to behave and cook. He did not test them like other people, or take them as apprentices and use them like servants.

This is also where his philosophy differs from that of his fellow apprentices. Because his behavior is actually against traditional rules, he is not well-received by them.

Chen Renfu felt that he had been caught in the rain before, so he didn't think it was necessary for his apprentice to be caught in the rain as well!

Fortunately, the three apprentices were very hardworking and learned everything well, whether it was how to be a good person or how to cook.

Ye Zhiqiu's apprentice, Huang Dahe, is the eldest son in a family of seven. His father is the only one who works. Neighbor Wang Lei, feeling sorry for the family's hardship and considering Ye Zhiqiu's filial piety and understanding, took him in as his apprentice.

As for Ye Zhiqiu, that was someone the master recognized and accepted, so they would naturally teach him with all their heart! It was all because it was the master Chen Renfu who accepted him, otherwise they wouldn't have taught him this way.

Everyone ate and drank, and the food tasted delicious, and everyone's appetites were whetted. They all focused on eating for a long time, and only after filling their stomachs did they slowly start drinking and chatting.

Ye Zhiqiu finished his second steamed bun and saw that everyone was about the same, at least half full, so he smiled and asked, "Brother Yongjun, Secretary Wang, how did you guys discuss things?

This is a mutually beneficial matter, so everyone should make some concessions and enjoy the benefits together!"

He Yongjun said happily, "Brother, the matter has been settled. We will find a car to pick up the poultry at noon tomorrow. I think we can send the money to the village in the evening!"

Secretary Wang also said with satisfaction, "It's truly good when everyone is happy. Xiaoye, your friends are generous, so we naturally won't be greedy. How about this, let's go to Xiaoye's place for drinks again tomorrow night. We'll bring a goose over, and Xiaoye, you'll be responsible for stewing it."

Ma Banghua laughed and said, "Haha, stewed goose is great! Then I'll be in charge of bringing the wine. I'll give everyone a full bottle of Wuliangye and some Erguotou!"

Ye Zhiqiu said cheerfully, "Hey, we have the wine and the dishes, so what else can I say? I'll be responsible for the cooking! Speaking of stewing the goose, I have to learn from Master tomorrow.

How about this, tomorrow I'll go to the commune and buy a goose. I'll take it to my master to learn how to cook it. Then I'll cook it for you tonight. See how my master's stewed goose tastes!"

"Hey, this is good!"

"I also want to know what the chef's stewed goose tastes like!"

"Haha, then you'll know tomorrow night!"

Ye Tianya listened from beginning to end, and he knew what they were talking about. It must be said that legally trading things is really profitable!

Seeing a few people talking about giving away one cent for a chicken, two cents for a duck, and three cents for a goose, he wished he could make money by trading things like this!

After a round of drinks, it was already 8:30 pm. After seeing off the tipsy He Yongjun and Ma Banghua, I watched them leave on their tricycles.

Ye Zhiqiu returned to the living room and asked the three people who stayed there, "Secretary Wang, how's the pig issue going?"

Secretary Wang looked at Yang Gui, because he was the one who was in charge of this matter. Yang Gui immediately understood and quickly explained to Ye Zhiqiu, "Xiao Ye, we have already raised this matter.

But now there is a problem, because not counting the piglets, the two sows and the boar alone weigh at least 1,300 to 1,400 kilograms. The meat is not tasty enough, and they are not satisfied with selling it at a low price.

The villagers think that the estimated price is more appropriate. If we weigh the pork, we should also follow the price of ordinary pork. So we are a bit embarrassed. We feel that if we calculate it this way, it will be a bit of a rip-off!

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, then asked, "If I'm willing to sell at an estimated price, how many piglets can you give me? I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm buying pigs for someone else this time. I'll just make a small profit as a reward for my hard work."

After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Then Accountant Zhao took out a small notebook, looked at it for a while, and began to explain it to Ye Zhiqiu.

"Xiao Ye, the villagers think the two sows and the boar weigh about 1,400 kilograms, and they think the estimated value is 750 yuan.

"The new litter of piglets, at eight yuan each, for seven piglets, will cost 56 yuan. Then there are the castrated pigs weighing around 100 pounds, which can be sold for three. A mature pig weighing close to 300 pounds can be sold for one, but these all need to be weighed and calculated."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded in satisfaction. With so many piglets, plus sows and boars, they should be able to reproduce in this space. As for the adult pigs, they must be disposed of immediately. There are still five pigs and over a hundred pounds of pork in the space!

"That's it, then. Tomorrow you can finish taking care of the chickens, ducks, and geese! Tonight, weigh and tie up the pigs. I'll pay you what you want. Can you transport them to the fish pond for me? I'm the one helping collect the pigs, and I don't really want to meet you guys."

Yang Gui was immediately happy and said, "Why not? We couldn't help you bargain for the pig this time, so we won't take advantage of you."

Hearing Yang Gui's words, Ye Zhiqiu looked at him with a higher opinion. He smiled and said to the three of them, "It's true that the profit is not high this time, but it's not like you've worked in vain!

I'll see how much profit we make and then give you some money. It won't be much, but there's definitely going to be some compensation for your hard work!"
