Gu Yunyang was speechless.
Have people become this adept at flattery these days?
It has already been using the surging river water, flowing endlessly.
Although Li Xing was a bit clumsy with words, he still emphasized it from the side.
Both of them had the same idea: to become each other's disciples.
Seeing that there were more and more people coming to eat, Gu Yunyang was worried that it would be too lively.
After all, it's best to take on apprentices privately. Making a scene in such a large setting would be too high-profile.
"Alright, alright, I can't stand the two of you. But, keep a low profile."
Gu Yunyang had no choice but to agree. Both of them came from decent backgrounds and had connections.
Gu Yunyang didn't refuse, but he certainly wouldn't casually reveal the secrets behind it.
In this era, the relationship between master and apprentice was actually very close, similar to that between father and son.
Those disciples who stay behind closed doors are expected to support their masters in their old age.
Even if they are not closed-door disciples, they still have to give gifts on the three major festivals of the year.
"However, it's agreed that if either of you or your family members feel uncomfortable with this, then we can drop it."
Gu Yunyang wasn't hoping to get rich by taking on apprentices; he was just cultivating a network of connections.
In those years, what did it matter how close the relationship was, even if it was between father and son or mother and daughter?
There will be no shortage of betrayals.
Since there is no blood relation between master and disciple, there is no psychological pressure when they betray each other.
If you have no expectations, you will not be disappointed in the future.
Gu Yunyang came into this world and inherited the original owner's body and interpersonal relationships.
In reality, they haven't fully integrated yet.
He always felt a certain distance from the people around him.
To put it simply, it feels a bit like playing a game.
"That's definitely not the case."
"A teacher for a day is a father for life."
The two assured each other.
Gu Yunyang said jokingly, "Then call me 'Father' and let me hear it."
The two were immediately stunned, staring at Gu Yunyang in disbelief.
People nowadays don't joke around like they would in later generations, saying "I'm your dad."
Godfather, please accept my humble admiration.
Gu Yunyang chuckled and waved his hand when he saw their stunned expressions. "Just kidding. We're all the same age, there's really no need to insist on these things. Just call me by my name. We can learn from each other, and I won't hold anything back. What you want to learn and how well you learn it is up to you. I'll definitely share everything I know."
At this point, Fu Heng and Li Xing fell silent.
He no longer insisted on becoming an apprentice or anything like that.
After all, just now he said, "Call me Dad and let me hear it."
It really terrified the two of them.
Although they had both mentally prepared themselves to call him "Master," they figured it would probably be fine.
But call him "Dad"?
Fu Heng gave Li Xing a strange look: "I told you to say something like 'a teacher for a day is a father for life'."
Now you're embarrassed, aren't you?
"Mushroom sauce is absolutely delicious with rice."
Add the braised pork, and even a large box of rice isn't enough.
More and more workers are coming to eat around here.
Some people were still chatting.
"Have you heard? There was a thief last night."
