My eldest apprentice was honest and simple, not very talented, but very hardworking. However, he died of illness 10 years ago.
The second person is, of course, his own son, whom he has been teaching cooking skills to since he was a child.
The youngest apprentice was Ye Zhongnan, a gifted individual. Ye Zhongnan discovered this promising talent and kept him by his side for three years, though his apprenticeship was relatively short.
However, he was Mr. Ding's most valued disciple.
Although his son's talent couldn't compare to Ye Zhongnan's, he had become a master chef through years of exposure to his son.
Xiaoxi immediately noticed something amiss.
"Uncle Ding, tell me more about your eldest apprentice."
Grandpa Ding was somewhat moved.
“My eldest apprentice is an orphan. He was already ten years old when I taught him cooking. Over the years, I have always kept him by my side. He is like another son to me.”
I was heartbroken when he passed away ten years ago.
Xiao Xi then looked at Ye Zhongnan, "Second Brother, what's your relationship with your senior brother?"
Ten years is almost yesterday for Ye Zhongnan.
“I hardly interact with this senior brother. We rarely talk when we meet because I wasn’t with my master every day when I was learning my skills.”
Ye Zhongnan is exceptionally talented. He can grasp a lot with just a little guidance from his master, and he practices on his own most of the time.
I go to my master's place to learn every now and then.
Grandpa Ding spent less time with his youngest apprentice than with his eldest, but he valued his youngest apprentice the most.
Xiaoxi: "I know, is it because this senior brother is jealous of my second brother? Did he use a vicious method to erase Uncle Ding's memory and steal my second brother's life?"
Grandpa Ding was stunned for a long time.
“Zhou Dongcheng is definitely not that kind of person. He is sincere and honest in his work and is a very kind person.”
Xiaoxi realized that she had spoken too quickly. Grandpa Ding did not agree with her words. Of course, to make an old man suddenly change his mind, he would have to provide evidence.
Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this senior brother.
"Alright, Uncle Ding, let's not worry about that for now. I'll try to find a way to help you get your cooking skills back."
Since this old man Ding is my second brother's mentor, Xiaoxi will help him no matter what.
Xiaoxi opened her phone and searched for reports about the fake Ye Zhongnan.
These days, she and her second brother have been busy with matters on Guangda Street, and have paid less attention to this fake Ye Zhongnan.
The search results on my phone showed that Ye Zhongnan had been hospitalized a month ago.
Xiaoxi: It must be that Ye Zhongnan's current luck is related to that of the stand-in gangster boss.
The gang leader that Xiaoxi caught back then had his genitals burned by charcoal and was detained in a hotel in Beijing.
The gang leader won't die because time is frozen in the hotel room, so his injuries will never heal; he'll just have to suffer like this.
Xiaoxi couldn't help but chuckle here.
The three people in the living room looked at Xiaoxi with confusion as she suddenly gave a strange smile.
Ye Zhongnan asked, "Xiaoxi, is something on your mind?"
Xiaoxi snapped out of her thoughts, "It's nothing. I suddenly thought of a way, but we can't do it at home. Uncle Ding, can we go to your house now?"
Grandpa Ding nodded in agreement, but he was quite puzzled.
Because the Ye family's manor is in the suburbs, it would take at least two hours to get back to their home.
