Jiang Zao nodded and rode out on his bicycle under Xiao Shuisheng's reluctant gaze.
She arrived early and waited at the door for five or six minutes before Sun Ligen came over.
Sun Ligen nodded at her: "You came quite early."
"It's my treat today, so feel free to order whatever you want later."
Jiang Zao was very flattering: "Then I won't be polite."
Whether it is a master and an apprentice, or superiors and subordinates in a company, the superiors are building face by giving input to the subordinates, and at this time they cannot have the idea of saving money for the other party.
"Hahaha, why are you being polite? You're even being polite to the master." Sun Ligen likes people who are not shy.
The master and disciple had not spoken a few words when Duan Zhenyun brought Su Huaizhou over.
Duan Zhenyun didn't pick on anyone today because Sun Ligen was treating him. He had two packs of cigarettes in his hand and when he saw Sun Ligen he gave them to him. They started talking about cigarettes and how their master used to love smoking dry tobacco and how the relationship between the two brothers was not very good. When he talked about his master and his own story as an apprentice, memories struggled out of reality and left a deep impression in his mind.
They walked inside while exclaiming to each other, and seemed to be getting along quite well.
Jiang Zao followed behind Sun Ligen, and Su Huaizhou walked beside him. His cold eyes stayed on Jiang Zao for an especially long time.
Jiang Zao really didn't like being stared at: "What's wrong?"
Su Huaizhou retracted his gaze and asked a question that surprised Jiang Zao: "Are you a local?"
Jiang Zao nodded: "Yes."
After asking this question, Su Huaizhou stopped talking and didn't even look at her.
Jiang Zao didn't understand the original intention of his asking this question, so he gave up.
They will be competitors in the county chef competition in three months, so they don’t need to be too close.
There were a lot of people on the weekend and there were two empty seats, so Sun Ligen chose a seat by the window.
The tables in the restaurant were all round. Sun Ligen and Duan Zhenyun sat next to each other, Jiang Zao sat next to Sun Ligen, and Su Huaizhou sat next to Duan Zhenyun.
The waiter handed Sun Ligen the menu and said, "Serving the people, what would you like to eat?"
Sun Ligen signaled Duan Zhenyun to choose.
Duan Zhenyun touched his stomach and said, "Give me some braised pork and sweet and sour pork tenderloin. What do you want to eat, my apprentice?"
He handed the menu to Su Huaizhou.
Su Huaizhou likes light taste and ordered tofu and spinach soup.
There were four people dining together. Sun Ligen planned to order six dishes, but there were three left, so he decided to give the choice to Jiang Zao.
Jiang Zao Bu Moji: "Smashed cucumber, stir-fried potato shreds with millet, four-happiness meatballs."
Three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, not greasy and very face-saving.
Sun Ligen was very satisfied and asked the waiter to take the order.
While waiting for the food, Sun Ligen and Duan Zhenyun chatted about their respective developments in recent years. Duan Zhenyun was more extroverted and liked to brag in front of his junior brother and seek a sense of existence.
"I worked in several state-owned restaurants, and then went to Shanghai and Beijing for training. The salary was good, at least 100 yuan a month, and sometimes 150 yuan."
"Huaizhou is the apprentice I took in Beijing. He is very talented and has learned 70% to 80% of my abilities in three years."
As he spoke, he raised his stubbled chin to gesture to Jiang Zao: "When did you accept your disciple?"
It wasn't long since Sun Ligen accepted Jiang Zao as his apprentice, and his satisfaction and pride in him didn't need much comment: "I accepted him in the middle of last year. He's obedient and talented."
Duan Zhenyun looked down on Jiang Zao.
The little girl had yellow hair and thin arms and legs. He sneered, and a few drops of saliva flew out from between his teeth and splashed onto Sun Ligen's hand.
Sun Ligen took his hand off the table and wiped it on his clothes.
It was so dirty that he didn't even want his hands on it.
Duan Zhenyun: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you're looking for a disciple, don't look for a man. Just look for a young woman. Why are you bragging about it? What kind of talent can she have?"
"You, are your horizons getting smaller and smaller? You've never seen anyone with talent, and you think a little girl who's good at talking and kneading dough is good enough?"
Sun Ligen said with a sour face: "Don't..."
He wanted to say, don't look down on others.
Duan Zhenyun was still his senior brother no matter what he said, so Sun Ligen changed his words: "Don't look down on me. My apprentice's potions are 100% accurate and he got the hang of it very quickly."
He immediately regretted it after saying it.
Look at his mouth!
The game is about to start, how can you say such things to them?
Duan Zhenyun looked down on others, but he knew that there were always people better than him. He jokingly inquired about the truth, "Don't joke. I've been a pastry chef for decades, and I've only heard of one person with an extraordinary touch. You should have heard of Li Gen. He's the 27th generation heir of the Shen family, Shen Yu."
Sun Ligen let the cat out of the bag and didn't know how to respond.
“That’s right, Shen Yu is extremely talented and a legend in the white case world. How can we compare with her?”
Duan Zhenyun believed in his heart that Sun Ligen was lying, and if he was a little humble, Duan Zhenyun would not believe it.
On the contrary, when Su Huaizhou lowered his head to drink water, his eyes reflected in the light brown tea were full of scrutiny.
The silence didn't last long before the food came. Duan Zhenyun picked up a big piece of fat meat and started eating. He was greedy and hadn't tasted the food from his hometown for some years, so he stuffed the food into his mouth with a grunt.
When they were almost done eating, Duan Zhenyun took out a red envelope from his pocket and placed it in front of Sun Ligen: "I came back this time, in addition to taking my apprentice to the competition, I also want to ask you for a favor."
The red envelope was half a centimeter thick, which completely destroyed Sun Ligen's joy of seeing his senior brother.
He really thought that Duan Zhenyun came back to see him, but it turned out that he was just wishful thinking.
"Go ahead."
Duan Zhenyun gestured to Su Huaizhou: “He is Shen Yu’s son.”
Jiang Zao only realized at this time that the Shen Yu they were talking about was a woman, otherwise why would Su Huaizhou have the surname Su and the other party have the surname Shen?
"Li Gen, here are two hundred yuan. It's not a bribe, it's tuition. Please give him the recipe for Yushansu. I'm begging you."
