Chen Yimin rubbed his daughter's head. They had no control over this matter! The country set quotas based on the quantity of supplies. If there were more supplies, they wouldn't hold back!
It is said that Ye Zhiqiu was learning enthusiastically in the kitchen. When Wang Lei and Li Bicheng finished preparing the dishes, they gave him chopsticks to taste them one by one.
This taste really made Ye Zhiqiu feel that this was cooking! Unlike his own heavy oil and heavy ingredients, the chicken fried here was tasty, tender and fragrant!
So he said with a smile: "Two masters, when are we going to offer tea and kowtow? I am ready to learn from you!"
Wang Lei said cheerfully, "We'll just offer some tea later. The country doesn't advocate kowtows to become a disciple. That's such an old feudal idea!"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and replied, "If the country doesn't support it, that's the country's business. What does it have to do with me taking you two as my teachers? I have to kowtow to you. In the future, I will provide for you two, my teachers, and take care of you until the end of your lives!"
If at first, Ye Zhiqiu just wanted to learn from a master and find a way and an excuse to bring supplies back home, but after the two of them cooked these dishes, he really wanted to learn cooking!
Ye Zhiqiu understood very well that he had the space in his hands, so he would not be short of food and drink, and it was even foreseeable that he would not be short of money!
Therefore, eating and drinking well is definitely one of his lifelong pursuits. His appetite is insatiable! In this era, he can't go to restaurants to eat and drink all day. So, it becomes necessary to close the door at home and make his own food to satisfy his appetite!
Both of them were quite satisfied with Ye Zhiqiu's attitude and immediately said to him, "Okay, in a moment, in the presence of your master and uncle's family, we will officially accept you as our disciple!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded happily. Everyone had their own opinions on this matter. Anyway, he thought this master was a good apprentice. As for his job as a purchasing agent, they thought they could use it. It was just a matter of each taking what they needed.
Isn't it true that relationships between people can only last if there is interest?
If you don't talk to a friend for a year, or even call him/her once! Forget about the benefits, even the emotional value can't be provided. How can you really maintain this kind of friendship?
The group began to carry the food to the living room. Ye Zhiqiu put down the chicken in his hand and asked Chen Yimin and his father with a smile, "Hey, Master and Uncle, what kind of ceremony do you think I need to arrange for my two masters to become my apprentices?"
Chen Yimin asked with amusement, "What's the matter? Have you decided to become my disciple so soon? Aren't you worried that having two masters will make your studies more difficult?"
Ye Zhiqiu said seriously, "The two masters' cooking is so delicious. I think what I'm pursuing in this life is just to eat and drink well! So I am determined to study hard and persevere no matter how hard it is!"
Chen Renfu touched his bones and nodded to Ye Zhiqiu with satisfaction, saying, "You little brat is quite insightful. People live their whole lives just to eat and drink!
I've been learning the art since I was young, and I've had several masters, but they've all passed away. Because my philosophy differs from that of my fellow apprentices, I don't have a specific lineage, so there's no need to invite them to attend the ceremony.
Of course, in the future, you two should teach him cooking skills and how to behave, and also introduce the relationships between my fellow apprentices to him.
Xiaoye, when you meet them in the future, you must treat them with respect as a disciple. You can't disrespect them just because our philosophies are different, otherwise it would be considered that we are not teaching them well!
Yimin, give Xiaoye your useless outfit. Consider it a gift from me, your mentor. It would be a waste to keep it with you anyway, so why not give it to Xiaoye?
Chen Yimin smiled and replied, "Alright, I'll give this outfit to him in a minute. It's a great bargain for this brat!"
Ye Zhiqiu listened very carefully. Sun Laidi went to make four cups of tea again. Ye Zhiqiu knew what was going on at a glance.
He knelt down respectfully, kowtowed and served tea to Chen Renfu, and then kowtowed and served tea to Chen Yimin, Wang Lei, and Li Bicheng respectively.
This was considered a formal apprenticeship, and everyone started pouring wine and eating.
Ye Zhiqiu poured wine for everyone attentively, offering a toast to one person or the other, and occasionally telling a funny story. Anyway, after a round of drinking, the whole table was very lively.
Ye Zhiqiu also knew the addresses of the two masters' restaurants. He would go to each of them to learn all day long. They would teach him what dish to make based on the ingredients he brought. He also had to work for free to hone his knife skills.
Because it is a public-private joint venture restaurant, they will not refuse to take apprentices, but it is impossible to arrange wages and work.
Ye Zhiqiu really didn't want this, so he smiled and said to the two of them, "Master, I will bring some ingredients over every day. You will cook the dish once, and then teach me how to cook it again.
I just learned how to make it, so I definitely can't serve it to customers. I'll take it home for my family to eat. This way, it won't affect the reputation of my master's restaurant. Is this okay?"
Wang Lei clapped his hands and said, "That's great! Let's do it this way! The main thing is that this is Master's restaurant, and there's a government-appointed manager. If I just let you learn from him, you won't be able to actually cook.
But if you bring your own ingredients, I, as the master, can teach my apprentice to use other ingredients. He can't argue with me about this matter, I still have the final say on this matter!"
Li Bicheng said with a smile: "My disciple, the wife of Manager Gong Fang over there just gave birth to a baby and has little milk. She is anxiously looking for milk powder and milk-inducing products!
If you can get some pig's trotters and crucian carp, he will definitely turn a blind eye to your coming here to study."
Ye Zhiqiu replied cheerfully, "Who am I? I'm just a purchaser, so I can get some of these things. As long as they're not too many, it's no big deal! Masters, wait for me. I'll get up early tomorrow to find some stuff and then go to the restaurant to learn from you!"
Everyone laughed. It was indeed true. Buyers had to go through a lot of trouble to purchase things.
Chen Yimin knew it best. This brat was able to get a hold of a fish pond in a village in Sanlitun. Getting some food would definitely not be a difficult task for him!
This is also a reflection of ability. Otherwise, there are so many factories and so many buyers. Why did he get it, and why couldn't others? If this is not ability, then what is ability!
After eating and drinking, the group drank tea, and Ye Zhiqiu talked about his family situation. Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard him think of such a loophole in order to register his mother's household registration!
Chen Yimin touched Ye Zhiqiu's head and asked curiously, "What's in your head, little brat? You've found such a loophole!"
I'm really curious, how did you come up with this? It's completely legal and compliant, so even if we find out, it wouldn't be considered a violation..."
