Ma Banghua explained, "Brother, this is the case. Isn't it important to get rid of outdated habits and conventions these days? So if you just want to learn how to cook a few dishes, you can pay to learn. Usually, the instructors are highly qualified chefs."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "I'm not learning how to cook. I just want to find a master and learn a skill seriously, so that I can have another profitable job!"
He Yongjun said with a grin, "Hey, that's a great idea. Once you've mastered it, we won't even have to go out to restaurants to drink. We can just take you, the chef, over there!"
Ma Banghua also laughed heartily and said, "Haha, that's great! But this kind of master is hard to find. How about you go to Fengze Garden? Mr. Wang Yijun is now recruiting disciples, and he teaches very seriously! Several of his disciples have received the true teachings and are now able to manage various state-owned restaurants!"
Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head and asked curiously, "What kind of dishes does Mr. Wang Yijun make? Is it difficult to become his disciple?"
He Yongjun and Ma Banghua were really well-informed. Ye Zhiqiu had never thought that he could actually gain something from just chatting with them.
Ma Banghua danced with joy as he began to introduce Ye Zhiqiu, "Wow, speaking of this Master Wang, he's quite something! He entered Fengze Garden at the age of twelve and has studied under several renowned chefs. Not only is he diligent and studious, he's also incredibly innovative, having created several renowned Shandong dishes!"
The most important thing is that Master Wang is very good at teaching his students! His formal disciples are already third or fourth level chefs. He has many registered disciples, and young chefs now want to become his apprentices!
He Yongjun added: "Master Wang is a first-class chef. I don't think I can become his apprentice, but you can become his apprentice!"
"Yes, yes, Master Qu is especially suitable for you, my brother. However, if you choose to become Master Qu's apprentice, you must be able to endure hardships. Master Qu is very strict with his apprentices."
Is Ye Zhiqiu afraid of strict requirements? He really isn't afraid! So he really put his mind to it.
But he planned to consult Chen Yimin, because he knew Chen Yimin had the most connections in the factory! He could find chefs from Longhufeng and help him choose a good chef, so he should be able to do it easily, right?
Putting the matter aside, Ye Zhiqiu chatted with the two of them. He did not immediately run to find Chen Yimin. Instead, he waited until noon and went to queue up for lunch with Ma Banghua.
After finishing his meal, Ye Zhiqiu had just washed the lunch box when a voice came from behind him.
"Good job, you little bastard! I finally caught you!"
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this voice, his whole body stiffened. He turned around with a wry smile and saw Wu Shengli with an angry face.
But who made him owe it? He had to tease his boss, and now he's been caught!
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Boss, what a coincidence! Are you here to wash the dishes too?"
Wu Shengli said angrily, "Why should I wash dishes? I came here to wash my face! You even ruined my face, you little bastard! I trusted you so much and thought you really brought me the most shrimp. Now you've embarrassed me in front of Lao Liao and Lao Chen! What do you think we should do about this?"
Ye Zhiqiu argued innocently, "Leader, you are the director, and they are the factory director and secretary. According to their ranks, I did give you the most shrimp! Look at the other directors, I didn't even give them a single shrimp!"
Because they're not your superiors, I wouldn't flatter them! But this matter, it's true, I didn't handle it well! I forgot to tell you, I also gave it to the factory director and the secretary. It's all my fault for not doing my job well!
"Boss, if you want to hit me or scold me, I won't say a word! After all, it's my fault. No matter how you punish me, I will accept it!"
After hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said, Wu Shengli didn't know what to do with this little rascal!
This little bastard, talking about his level and his leader, made Wu Shengli feel very aggrieved because he couldn't refute his words!
Because Liao Yegu and Chen Yimin were indeed of a higher rank than him, and he really didn't give any shrimps to other people of the same rank as him!
No matter what, Wu Shengli felt that he couldn't just let this bastard go so easily!
So he said with a stern face: "I am a magnanimous person and will not hold this matter against you! But before you leave work tonight, I want you to buy a few pounds of shrimp!
Our factory leadership team is waiting for Secretary Liao Yegu to return to hold an overtime meeting. If you fail to procure the shrimp, it will be a serious dereliction of duty and you will have three yuan deducted from your salary!
Ye Zhiqiu was so happy. This Wu Shengli was really interesting. He was such a simple and honest leader! Even when he was giving his subordinates a hard time, he was not very good at it!
He immediately pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Boss, I can only say that I will try my best! But I can't guarantee that I can buy the shrimp back."
Wu Shengli waved his lunch box and said, "I don't care about you. If you can buy shrimp back, it will be considered as meritorious service! If there are no shrimp tonight, I will punish you for all your crimes and must deduct your salary!"
After saying that, he turned and left. Ye Zhiqiu put his hand to his mouth and shouted words that were completely inconsistent with his actions.
"No! Leader, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again next time..."
After Wu Shengli disappeared, Ye Zhiqiu continued to wash the lunch box with a smile. It was just a few pounds of shrimp, but the space was enough to store this thing. I'll just sneak out and take a look and bring it back!
Whistling and humming, he returned to the office and had just put his lunch box away when Ma Banghua and the other man came over and asked curiously, "Brother, how did you piss off Wu Shengli? Just now, he had a stern face and deliberately ran to find you, which scared us!"
Ye Zhiqiu said seriously, "That's not true! How could I possibly piss off Director Wu? He just gave me a task to do and asked me to make some money!"
He Yongjun asked with envy, "What mission? Are you going to take you out for drinks again?"
"That's not the case. They just asked me to buy a few pounds of shrimp. If I don't buy them, there will be a punishment!"
After hearing this, the two were even more confused, because if they failed to purchase the goods, why would there be a punishment?
Seeing the curiosity on the two people's faces, Ye Zhiqiu simply told them about the story of teasing Wu Shengli.
The two of them were amazed. They didn't expect this little brother to have such a wild personality! He actually dared to play tricks on his leader. No wonder Wu Shengli made things difficult for him!
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about this at all. Although Wu Shengli had a hot temper, he was quite generous.
After chatting with the two for a while, Ye Zhiqiu rode his bicycle out of the factory. Although most people in the factory ate at the factory, a small number of people would take lunch home to eat with their families.
Because many families were short on oil, they wouldn't use too much when cooking, but the food at the factory still had some oil. This oil was allocated according to the plan, so the shortage wasn't as severe as it was for ordinary families.
