Chapter 61: Want to Become a Disciple
Mao Gaoyuan has a deeper understanding of Ji Xiaoniang's cooking skills. From today on, the person Ji Xiaoniang admires most is better than Chef Chen and Chef Zhang!
If he was born a dozen years later, he would definitely take Miss Ji as his master!
Maybe it's not impossible now.
"Miss Ji, can I become your disciple?" Mao Gaoyuan expressed his wish.
If Miss Ji could be his master, his cooking skills would definitely be improved and he would reach a higher level of attainment.
Mao Gaoyuan's family was relatively wealthy, so he didn't have to worry about the family business.
In addition, he has been interested in cooking since he was a child, so when he grew up he began to learn from a master.
He is different from most chefs who support their families. He cooks not for money but out of interest.
His master also knew this, so there was no restriction on being a lifelong disciple after he became his disciple. Besides, the old man was open-minded and didn't care about these things.
Even if he finds another master, the old man will not have any objection and may even be happy for him.
After hearing this, Ji Zhisui looked at the man in front of him with some surprise. He was not very old, probably in his early thirties.
But she has no plans to accept any apprentices yet. After all, she has not yet settled down in Qizhou County!
As far as she knew, people in this era attached great importance to their master. Was there really no problem with him taking her as his master?
"I'm sorry, Master Mao, I don't have any plans to accept a disciple for the time being."
If she wants to take in a disciple, she has to wait until the restaurant is open and the business is almost stable. By then, she and the Pei family might be too busy to handle it and will need to add a lot of manpower.
"Okay! If that young lady wants to accept a disciple, don't forget me!" Mao Gaoyuan felt a little disappointed, but he did not forget to continue promoting himself.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Every word of the conversation between the two was heard by everyone present. Although Mao Gaoyuan's level could not be said to be top-notch, he was able to be someone's master. But now he actually took the initiative to want to worship Miss Ji as his master!
But come to think of it, Miss Ji's cooking skills are really good. Those dishes are colorful, fragrant and delicious, and they look delicious. Compared with those dishes, the food they cook is obviously superior at a glance.
An ordinary dish of cabbage can be made so delicious, and fishy ingredients can also be made fresh and sweet. Miss Ji's cooking skills are really amazing.
Everyone in the kitchen was busy preparing ingredients, and the banquet in front was also very lively.
Shopkeeper Wu and Henry Zhang and his party also arrived at the Wang family early.
When meeting Shopkeeper Wu, Zhang Xuan was in a good mood and greeted him, "Shopkeeper Wu, I have long heard of your great name."
Shopkeeper Wu's gaze did not fall on Zhang Xuan, but looked at the woman beside him. The woman also noticed her gaze and had a faint smile on her face.
The two men's eyes met for a moment, and Shopkeeper Wu smiled at them and said, "Manager Zhang, who is this?"
Zhang He extended her hand. "Manager Wu, I'm the manager of Zhang's Embroidery Workshop. My brother usually takes care of the affairs of the workshop. It's normal that you don't know me, Manager Wu."
"So you are the owner of Zhang's Embroidery Workshop! Seeing is believing. Nice to meet you." Shopkeeper Wu cooperated with the performance with a smile on his face.
At the same time, she did not forget to observe Fang Shangwen standing next to her, and caught a moment of unnaturalness on his face.
"Shopkeeper Wu and Shopkeeper Fang are really in love. My brother and I have something to do, so we'll go in first." As Zhang He spoke, her eyes raised and fell on Fang Shangwen, with some charming and lingering meaning.
After that, she walked away lightly. Fang Shangwen looked at the direction where the beautiful figure left, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
This subtle interaction caught the attention of Shopkeeper Wu, who had been observing the two of them. She pinched her clothes with her nails, leaving some wrinkles on the robe.
This pair of bastards started flirting with each other in broad daylight, right in front of him.
Is he treating himself like a fool? Or is he absolutely certain that the Wu family will lose this match?
Unfortunately, she will not let these people get what they want. She will not let go of anyone who wants to plunder the Wu family's property!
When Manager Wu came in, the Zhang siblings were already seated. Mrs. Wang saw that everyone from the Zhang and Wu families had arrived, and sent someone to ask if they were all ready.
She said to the old lady sitting in the main seat, "Mother, today is your birthday, and your daughter-in-law has prepared a surprise for you long ago."
After hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Mrs. Wang immediately became interested. "Oh, really? What's the surprise?"
"The Wu's Embroidery Workshop and the Zhang's Embroidery Workshop want to compete with each other for the title of the best embroidery workshop in Qizhou County. Mother, you are highly respected, and they want you to be the host." Mrs. Wang explained the reason and also flattered the old lady.
"Oh? Zhang's Embroidery Workshop?" Wu's Embroidery Workshop has been open for many years, so Mrs. Wang knew about it, but she was not very clear about Zhang's Embroidery Workshop.
Zhang He came out from her seat and bowed respectfully to Madam Wang. "Hello, Madam. I am the owner of Zhang's Embroidery Workshop. We used to run the workshop in the provincial capital. My father's health was not good, so he brought our family back to Qizhou County. Although Zhang's Embroidery Workshop has only been open for a short time, our embroiderers are very skilled."
After hearing what Zhang He said, the ladies and young ladies who came to the birthday party also became interested. They didn't expect that this newly opened embroidery workshop had moved from the provincial capital and had such a great background.
"Okay, okay, then what do you want to compete in?" Old Lady Wang was obviously happy to help.
"Mom, today is your birthday. My two families have embroidered a picture of a hundred years of longevity. You can decide which one embroiders better."
"Daughter-in-law, you are so thoughtful." Old Lady Wang was very happy with the surprise her daughter-in-law had arranged for her. Not only did she let her watch the show, but she also gave her a picture of a hundred years of longevity.
Zhang He asked someone to bring up the prepared Hundred Years of Longevity picture, and Manager Wu was not to be outdone and walked forward with the prepared Hundred Years of Longevity picture.
After Shopkeeper Wu left, Fang Shangwen and Zhang Xuan looked at each other, and both of them showed pride and joy of victory in their eyes.
Zhang He was very confident about winning the competition. All the capable embroiderers in Wu's Embroidery Workshop came to Zhang's Embroidery Workshop after being coerced and lured.
Besides, the Hundred Longevity Picture in Manager Wu's hand had been replaced by Wen Lang a long time ago.
On the surface, it still looks like a Hundred Years of Longevity Picture, but the silk threads have been cut. Once it is opened and observed, the silk threads will break. In addition, the base fabric has been tampered with, so the Hundred Years of Longevity Picture will break in the middle.
Let me ask you, on the birthday, not only was the quality of the Hundred Longevity Picture made by the Wu family not up to standard, but it was also broken in the middle. Isn't this a curse on Old Madam Wang?
