"Manager Ma, this is the case. I'm Ye Zhiqiu, a buyer for the brewery. Li Bicheng is my master, and he asked me to bring some ingredients here to learn cooking!
Oh, and he also told me to buy some crucian carp for you to make soup. But it took me a long time to get three crucian carp yesterday.
Do you want to take this crucian carp home, or make soup here and take the soup back?"
Hearing this, Ma Wenguang's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what was going on. He said happily, "Oh, that's it!
That's right, I asked Master Li to help me get some crucian carp. Xiaoye, right? Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen to meet your master!
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Manager Ma."
Following Ma Wenguang into the kitchen, he shouted, "Old Li, what are you busy with? Your apprentice is here!"
Hearing Ma Wenguang's voice, Li Bicheng, who was originally sitting on the recliner, quickly stood up. He smiled and replied, "Hey, brat, why are you bothering Manager Ma to lead the way? Can't you just walk in by yourself?"
Ye Zhiqiu raised the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Master, I was fishing and collecting yesterday afternoon, and I got some fish and a goose.
Please teach me how to stew goose today. I have a dinner party tonight and I need to stew goose!"
Putting the things down, Ye Zhiqiu picked up another crucian carp and said to Ma Wenguang with a smile: "Manager Ma, I caught the crucian carp myself, but I didn't pay for it, so I'll give it to you!"
Li Bicheng secretly gave Ye Zhiqiu a thumbs-up and said cheerfully, "Oh, Old Ma, look how enthusiastic my apprentice is! I just mentioned it to him, and he took your matter to heart!"
Ma Wenguang said happily, "Master Li, I'd like to trouble you to help me make the crucian carp soup. I'm not very good at this! I know you two are thoughtful. Anyway, I can't see or control the dishes you are learning. Is this okay?"
"Okay, okay, that's great! My apprentice isn't a stingy person either. I'll save some goose meat for everyone's lunch!"
The colorful sedan chair is carried by everyone, and everyone knows what is going on. Naturally, it is good for you, me, and everyone!
Ma Wenguan said a few polite words and said he would go home to get something for the soup, but Li Bicheng stopped him.
"Lao Ma, don't bring anything else but a thermos. Put this soup in it to keep it warm. It's perfect for drinking at noon and in the evening."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and bring a thermos."
Watching Ma Wenguang leave with a smile, Li Bicheng called the two people who were washing vegetables over and introduced them, "Xiao Ye, this is my son Li Weimin, you can just call him Big Brother.
This guy couldn't concentrate on his studies since he was little, so he had no choice but to learn cooking from me. This is your second brother, Li Peng. He's an orphan like me, and I adopted him as a child to learn cooking from him.
You two brats, this is the Ye Zhiqiu I was talking about. You two brothers must teach him a lesson!"
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly called out, "Big Brother, Second Brother, nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future!"
Li Weimin said with a smile: "No problem, no problem. Third brother, if you want big brother to take care of you, it depends on whether you can handle things!"
Li Wei pinched his fingers together to signal, and Li Peng beside him explained cheerfully, "Brother, Big Brother is signaling you to give him a cigarette! Dad won't give Big Brother money to buy cigarettes, so he's been robbing people all day!"
Ye Zhiqiu happily put his hand into his bag and took out a pack of Zhonghua and two packs of Daqianmen from the space.
He took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and placed them on the table next to Li Bicheng. He smiled and said, "Master, these cigarettes were given to me by my boss at the factory. I couldn't bear to smoke such good cigarettes, so I gave them to you as a gift!"
Li Bicheng picked up his cigarette and said happily, "You little rascal, I don't need to teach you the ways of the world! You're so smooth-talking at such a young age, you can handle anything!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Hey, I still need to learn from Master to make progress."
After that, he took out two more packs of Daqianmen and gave one to each of his two brothers, which made them smile. They pulled Ye Zhiqiu aside and started chatting enthusiastically.
From the information he got from their conversation, Ye Zhiqiu felt that Master Li Bicheng was really a good person!
The eldest brother Li Weimin is twenty years old this year, and the second brother is nineteen years old this year, which means that he adopted Li Peng when the eldest brother was still young.
Speaking of this name, it was because when he adopted him, Li Bicheng saw someone writing the words "Wanli Pengcheng" in calligraphy, so he named him Li Peng, hoping that he would have a bright future when he grew up.
Li Bicheng laughed and scolded: "When your eldest brother was born, I hoped he could join the army to defend the country and the people, but in the end he is nothing! Your second brother's name was given, and I hope he will have a bright future!
But he loves cooking so much, and his talent as a chef is better than anything else. I am so fucking frustrated..."
Li Peng was unhappy. He said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, you're here again. What's wrong with being a cook? At least when you're tired, I can fill in for you!"
Li Weimin also chimed in, "Exactly. When I was little, I didn't like learning to cook, and you scolded me for being overambitious! Now I'm diligently learning to cook from you, and you're scolding my brother and me for being useless..."
Ye Zhiqiu found it quite amusing to watch the three of them jokingly banter with each other. This proved that not only were they not rigid in their interactions, but the master was also quite open-minded.
Ye Zhiqiu quickly passed out cigarettes, and the four of them lit up with a match. He said cheerfully, "Master, yesterday at the Grand Master's place, I followed Senior Brother Huang to learn how to cut vegetables.
Then I learned how to roast fish fillets, twice-cooked pork and braised pork slices from the master chef, and also stir-fried some vegetarian dishes.
He said you're a master at cooking fish here, and asked me to bring more fish here to learn from you! And this goose, what do you think is the best way to cook it?"
Li Bicheng said proudly, "Since I've let you cook, I'll see how you can flip the wok. As for the goose, I'll teach you how to braise it. I guarantee you won't forget it after eating it!"
"Okay, Master, I'm drooling after hearing what you said. I'll help wash the vegetables first, and then you brothers will teach me how to cut the vegetables here."
"Hey, you're quite good at it, don't worry! I'll teach you how to cut it later. I guarantee you'll learn it right away!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. Then he took the apron Li Peng gave him and squatted down to wash the vegetables.
Watching Ye Zhiqiu actively working and cutting vegetables in a professional manner, although his knife skills were still a little lacking, he did a really good job.
Li Bicheng also began to understand why Wang Lei had directly taught him to cook. This clearly showed that he had some talent. Besides, this apprentice wasn't suitable for being pressured into teaching. The eldest brother still needed a chef!
