Chen Yimin took the peony that Ye Zhiqiu handed over, then held out his hand to block the wind and lit a cigarette. After taking a puff, he asked, "Come to my house for dinner tonight! I don't know why the old man likes you so much. He kept asking me to invite you over last night."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded with a grin and said, "Okay, I'll go get some fish and a rabbit this afternoon, and then we'll go to the leader's house for a meal!"
Chen Yimin whispered, "Fish are easy to deal with. My dad said you're good at fishing! Aren't you supposed to raise rabbits to make money? Don't let them be eaten carelessly."
Seeing someone passing by, Ye Zhiqiu whispered back, "Boss, my rabbits have given birth, so eating one isn't a big deal! How about we go to your office first? I'm a little confused, and I'd like some help and some pointers!"
Chen Yimin nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to my office first."
After saying this, Chen Yimin took the lead and strode towards the administrative building. Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly followed and arrived at Chen Yimin's office.
Chen Yimin sat down, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and said, "Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
Ye Zhiqiu frowned and took out the unfiltered Zhonghua cigarette from his bag. He placed it on the table and pushed it there. His movements were extremely smooth and natural.
After finishing all this, he whispered, "Leader, this is what's going on. As a buyer, I can purchase supplies and I don't need to go to the factory to work all day, so I want to learn a skill!"
Based on my personal conditions and preferences, I want to learn cooking! Leader, you have the widest network of connections among all the people I know! So I'd like to ask for your guidance. How can I find a good master to learn cooking?
Chen Yimin had never thought that Ye Zhiqiu would bring up such a thing! He said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "You little bastard, have you checked my family's information?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Chen Yimin said that. He asked in confusion, "Leader, why do you say that? I really don't understand!"
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's expression, which didn't seem fake, Chen Yimin breathed a sigh of relief. He thought even this brat could find out his family's information!
He then explained: "My father is a cook, I thought you knew this!"
Ye Zhiqiu opened his mouth wide. He said in disbelief, "Leader, you're kidding me, right? Grandpa Chen is a cook?"
Chen Yimin sighed and said, "My father is indeed a chef, and his teachers are all in the Beijing Hotel. Many of the top chefs are his senior brothers!
However, my father's hand was scratched by shrapnel. Although it is not visible after healing, his left hand is actually no longer able to flip the wok.
That's why he's become like this, spending every day either drinking or going fishing, because the skills he's been cultivating his whole life have been wasted..."
Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded, and could only be shocked by how amazing this world was! No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't possibly connect this old man who couldn't catch any fish with a chef!
No wonder Chen Yimin can find a chef to cook with just a phone call. It turns out he comes from a family of chefs! How could such connections be possible? He must know some famous chefs from all over the country!
He was shocked for a while before he asked, "So... the leader wants me to become Grandpa Chen's disciple?"
Chen Yimin rolled his eyes at Ye Zhiqiu and said unhappily, "My father was once able to pass the second-level chef exam. Do you think he doesn't have any apprentices? If you really want to learn this, I can introduce my junior apprentice to you."
You should learn how to cook from him, and when you come back, you can help me prepare the banquet. The chefs in the factory nowadays are really not that good at cooking!
I joined the army because I didn't have the patience to cook. Otherwise, I could cook better than him!"
Ye Zhiqiu grinned awkwardly, thinking that he could raise his seniority, but he didn't expect that he would be arranged to become his junior disciple!
But it doesn’t matter who you learn from. What’s most important is being able to learn things and having multiple sources of resources!
So Ye Zhiqiu nodded vigorously and said, "Then please arrange it, leader. By the way, what do I need to bring with me to become your disciple? Should I buy…"
Chen Yimin interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Come to my house for dinner tonight, and then I'll talk to my dad about it and see if he agrees! If he doesn't agree, I'll arrange for you to study somewhere else."
Ye Zhiqiu was quite confident about this matter. Although he and Grandpa Chen had some conflicts at the beginning, didn't they already put aside their grudges with a smile?
At worst, I can just give this cheap lawyer a few more fish and let him pretend that they are his own catches. I don’t believe that I can’t win his favor!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly smiled. He said jokingly, "Leader, then I have to call you Uncle Master from now on? Oh, with Uncle Master protecting me, I can walk around the factory with all my might from now on."
Chen Yimin didn't mind. He tore off a piece of paper, wrote down an address, and said, "My family is also assigned a separate courtyard. You can go there by yourself in the evening. But if you bring rabbits and fish, you can go there earlier."
"Forget it, my dad isn't very good at cooking anymore. I'll call my two junior apprentice brothers and ask them to come to my house early. Then I'll see if anyone is willing to take you as their apprentice!"
Ye Zhiqiu took the paper, read it once, and put it away. He then stood up and said he would go to prepare some food and show it to his future master that evening. Then he left the office.
After Ye Zhiqiu closed the door and left, Chen Yimin murmured to himself complacently, "Hehe! I was just worried about expanding production next year and not having a good chef to prepare a banquet, and this brat actually showed up on his own initiative!
You can earn a good skill, but I, Old Chen, will never lose! A good nephew who can be ordered around at any time, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me happy..."
Ye Zhiqiu left happily, but he didn't expect that Chen Yimin had already been thinking about cooking for him for the rest of his life!
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the office and ran to the crowd to listen to gossip, which was still the gossip about the two people who hid in the woods.
But this time there was an extra person: the man's wife. She had received gossip about her husband's deeds! Furious, she not only ran to the widow's door and cursed her all night, but also scratched her husband's face!
So the two protagonists who went into the woods today both asked for leave and did not come to work.
He Yongjun said with a look of regret: "I know that young widow. She's like a ripe peach, and that bastard got her for free!"
Ye Zhiqiu asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Brother He, you are so unhappy, you wish you could be in my place and comfort that young widow!"
He Yongjun said with a wry smile: "Brother, you are joking. No matter how bad I am, there is no way I can find a widow!"
"That's right, you unmarried young people, don't think about these young widows! They are used to being promiscuous, and by then they won't even know who the father of their child is!"
"Speaking of which, there's a young woman in our yard whose child doesn't look like his father at all!"
"Is there such a thing? Tell me in detail..."
