Chapter 1361: Three years as an apprentice
After taking a shower and changing into a Chinese tunic suit, Cheng zhaomei picked up the car keys on the table and quickly went downstairs.
“Where should we go?” Master Cheng’s wife asked loudly when they arrived at the lobby.
Master Cheng’s wife had heard from the people in the kitchen that he had left hurriedly after throwing down the spatula. Therefore, she had rushed over to stop him.
However, what they encountered was a brand new master Cheng, who was a hundred times more energetic and even a little excited.
If she didn’t believe in master Cheng’s character, she would have suspected that he had a date with some pretty girl and was going to spend time with her.
“I’ll go find my master. ” Without stopping, master Cheng Ran straight to the parking lot.
“Be careful on the road and pay attention to your safety.” Looking at master Cheng who was walking in a hurry, she only had time to remind him of this.
As soon as master Cheng left, his wife immediately said helplessly,””This guy is still as active as when he was young.”
Cheng Han, who had just walked in, heard this. He asked in confusion,””Mom, who’s the proactive one?”
“I’m talking about your dad. He just left in a hurry. ” Master Cheng’s wife said unhappily.
“I told him that I could send him there when I got home, but he just didn’t want it. He just left the house.” Cheng Cheng wrinkled his nose and said in dissatisfaction.
“Your dad is afraid that you’ll disturb him while he’s talking to his master,” Master Cheng’s wife said straightforwardly.
“Uh ...” Cheng Han was speechless. He felt that his father might really think that way.
He felt that she would be an eyesore if she stood by the side.
With this realization, Cheng Han was instantly helpless. He picked up his keys and went to help his mother with his tail between his legs.
However, master Cheng, who had already driven far away, didn’t think about that at all. He was thinking about the fifth way to make Yuan Zhou hand over the Tea Party to him.
That’s right. Master Cheng went there in order to help Yuan Zhou hold the Tea Party.
However, master Cheng knew that Yuan Zhou didn’t like others to help him. Therefore, he simulated the conversation with Yuan Zhou in his heart so that he could speak to him better later.
It was less than half an hour’s drive from master Cheng’s shop or home to Taoxi road. However, it was the time when Taoxi road was bustling.
Because a Food City was being built in the surrounding area, a road was also surrounded. Therefore, the street leading to Taoxi road was even more congested.
When master Cheng arrived, it was already 40 minutes later. Moreover, because of the heavy traffic, he directly parked his car in the parking lot three kilometers away from Taoxi road. He could walk the rest of the road.
It turned out that he made the right decision. Master Cheng saw that he had caught up with the car in front of him and even surpassed it at the speed of walking.
Standing at the bustling intersection of Taoxi road, master Cheng took a deep breath and said,””Wipe your sweat. If you enter the shop in a sorry state, it’ll affect your image as a master.”
Having thought that, master Cheng took out a towel from his bag, wiped his sweat, folded it carefully and put it away.
“Master Cheng, I haven’t seen you for a long time,” It was the crippled boss of the Jiekou hardware store who greeted him. Master Cheng nodded with a smile on his chubby face.
“Boss Wang is busy.” Master Cheng also nodded in response.
“Thanks to your master, I’m really busy.” Wang Tai gestured to the customers in the shop and said.
“My master is definitely powerful.” Master Cheng nodded his head and then walked forward.
Once upon a time, fatty Wang would always call Yuan Zhou “little Yuan.” But ever since Yuan Zhou became more and more famous and his imposing manner became more and more powerful, he rarely called him “little Yuan.”
Unless Yuan Zhou requested it in private, fatty Wang would always address him as boss Yuan.
In the beginning, he would even joke with master Cheng and say that Yuan Zhou was his little master. After all, Yuan Zhou was only 26 years old this year while master Cheng’s daughter was already in her 20s. What else could she be other than a little master?
However, as Yuan Zhou grew up, fatty Wang stopped teasing him like that. He always felt that it was not respectful enough to Yuan Zhou.
“Boss Yuan is getting more and more awesome. He’s much more awesome than old Yuan.” Looking at master Cheng’s back, fatty Wang couldn’t help sighing with emotion.
He recalled that when old Yuan was still around, he used to say that his son was stupid.
“It’s a pity that old Yuan won’t be able to see such an amazing son. ” Fatty Wang thought to himself.
In fact, fatty Wang’s sentiment was also the same as the other neighbors ‘sentiment. Taoxi road was originally an Old Street with little business. They barely made a living by doing business with their neighbors.
Now, except for the short-sighted people who sold their shops while they were still popular, these people were all considered as Yuan Zhou’s old neighbors. They had seen with their own eyes that Yuan Zhou had single-handedly created Taoxi road, which was now as prosperous as Chunxi Road.
In their hearts, they were all sighing with emotion about Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills and character. At the same time, they were also very glad that they didn’t sell their store. Fatty Wang knew that the store owner who had sold his store on the street a year and a half ago didn’t even drive past the peach stream anymore, for fear of recalling sad memories.
One must know that they were currently in a small shop, and the price was already high, and there was a price but no market. What’s more, when the food City was built, there would still be potential to be explored, and the price would shoot up to ten million.
It was conceivable that after a few years, he would not be showing off his wealth by having a suite in the Second Ring Road of the capital, but by having a shop on Taoxi road.
What a big Shot!
The people in the neighborhood were both grateful and impressed by Yuan Zhou. They knew that many people were willing to pay a high price to poach Yuan Zhou away, but he didn’t leave.
It was because Yuan Zhou didn’t leave that they had such a Grand occasion and good days.
The shops on Taoxi road, with Short Video and various online planting, were basically the shops that had to check in when coming to Chengdu.
To be honest, it was amazing that one person could run a restaurant this well without a kitchen helper.
The neighbors all remembered Yuan Zhou’s good deeds in their hearts. Therefore, if anything happened to boss Yuan, they would run away the fastest.
Of course, Yuan Zhou himself didn’t know about that. He was thinking about the Tea Party seriously.
“Master, your disciple has come to see you.” Right then, master Cheng’s voice came from outside the door.
Yuan Zhou raised his head and found that master Cheng was already standing at the door of the restaurant with his back slightly bent, waiting for Yuan Zhou to call him.
“Why are you here so late? come in.” Yuan Zhou stood up and greeted him.
“Okay, master.” Only then did master Cheng straighten his body and then walk into the restaurant.
Without waiting for Yuan Zhou to ask again, master Cheng said,””I heard from Zhenzhen that master is going to hold a Tea Party.”
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Master, ever since I became your disciple, you’ve been the only one who’s contributed and taught me a lot of things. I’ve never had the chance to be by your side to show my filial piety. How about I prepare this Tea party for you?” Master Cheng said that with great sincerity and sincerity.
“I’ll take you in as my disciple, so it’s only right for you to learn cooking. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“No, no matter where I go, I have to practice for three years before I can learn my skills. But you only took a look at me and accepted me as an old disciple. I really feel uneasy if I don’t help you do something.” A sincere and nervous expression appeared on master Cheng’s broad face.
In fact, what master Cheng said was true. No matter where he went to find a master and learn his skills, he would have to be trained by his master for three years before he could learn his real skills.
In the first year, they couldn’t even enter the master’s side. They had to do odd jobs in the kitchen. This was to train their patience and tell their disciples that it wasn’t easy to learn a craft.
In the second year, he would be serving his master. This was really serving him. He had to know and help his master with his clothes, food, accommodation, and transportation. This was to tell his disciple to respect his master.
All these were actually to train the disciple’s temperament. After all, in the culinary world, everyone said that it was easy to learn how to cook, but not how to be a person.
It was only until the third year that the master would slowly teach the disciple some basic skills, and then slowly pass on the skills to the disciple.
Unlike Yuan Zhou, who not only gave his detailed notes to master Cheng but also guided him on a dish every month. He really didn’t treat master Cheng as an outsider.
Therefore, master Cheng respected Yuan Zhou even more, even though Yuan Zhou was actually about the same age as his daughter.
