Chapter 1215: Treating you to pufferfish
By the time the two of them had rested, the battle had already taken place two hours later.
The two of them sat on the wooden chairs in the courtyard, panting heavily. They were still exposing each other's shortcomings, not giving in at all.
This meant that he was lacking in physical strength and was using his mouth to make up for it.
"You old thing, you're taking advantage of my absence to fool the innocent little Yuan. Today, I'll kill you and get rid of evil for the people." Zhou Shijie pointed his knife at Carpenter Lian.
"Didn't you just rely on small favors to let little Yuan learn cooking every day? what's the use of being a chef? he's not even as cool as a Carpenter like me." Carpenter Lian said, not willing to be outdone.
"Get lost. What do you know? I'm just helping little Yuan deal with small matters so that he can focus on doing what he likes. I'm not like you, who takes advantage of your seniority." Zhou Shijie retorted directly.
"You're just cunning. It's useless no matter what you say now. Little Yuan will be my disciple in three days. " Carpenter Lian said proudly.
"Just you wait, I'm going to chop you up and make you into wood now." Zhou Shijie was furious.
"An old man like you who doesn't have much strength can't even hold the knife steadily." Carpenter Lian raised his head and gave Zhou Shijie a contemptuous look.
"Just you wait, you old bastard." Zhou Shijie tried to stand up, but his legs were too weak to move, so he sat back down.
"I'll be waiting, old turtle. " Carpenter Lian scolded him back without any restraint.
Of course, Carpenter Lian also stood up during this period, but he couldn't stand up.
It couldn't be helped. The two of them had just run inside and out for two hours in this three-in-front courtyard. Even a young man would be exhausted, let alone two old people over fifty years old.
The two of them naturally couldn't get up or move, but their mouths hadn't stopped cursing. One of them was an old bastard, and the other was an old turtle.
It was still Ma Xiao who braced himself and stepped forward,""Chairman Zhou, boss Yuan is actually still a chef. My master has never said that he wants boss Yuan to be a Carpenter."
"F * ck off. Whose disciple are you? you're a traitor. I'll beat you to death later." Carpenter Lian immediately shouted.
"Master, I'll pour you some tea." Ma Xiao was very used to Carpenter Lian's bad temper, so he took no notice of it and served him a cup of tea.
"Hmph," he snorted. Carpenter Lian's hands were shaking when he received the teacup, but he still snorted to show his dissatisfaction.
"Please have some tea, master." Ma Xiao said with a smile.
"You brat, why don't you get over there and do some wood work? if that little Yuan surpasses you in the future, I'll beat you to death." After finishing his tea, Carpenter Lian immediately pointed at Ma Xiao and asked him to leave.
After all, it was getting late and Ma Xiao should return.
"Yes, yes, yes. Master is right. I'll take my leave first. Goodbye, Chairman Zhou." Ma Xiao nodded quickly and left the courtyard.
"You old man, you actually lied to me." Only then did Zhou Shijie react to Ma Xiao's words and immediately said angrily.
"Old turtle, who's lying to you?" Carpenter Lian felt much better after drinking a mouthful of water and said in a relaxed manner.
Zhou Shijie was stumped by Carpenter Lian's words. It was true. Carpenter Lian had never said that Yuan Zhou would choose to learn carpentry instead of cooking. Zhou Shijie had only thought of it subconsciously, but this old man was obviously misleading him.
"Hmph, that old bastard's temper is so bad. Sooner or later, all his disciples will run away." Thinking of this, Zhou Shijie said indignantly.
"They dare." Carpenter Lian's eyes widened as he looked at his apprentice who was staying at the inn.
"Don't worry, master. We naturally wouldn't dare to. " The apprentice who was staying in the hotel was a very gentle middle-aged man. He had just poured Zhou Shijie some tea.
His apprentice answered his question willingly. It was not because of Carpenter Lian's bad temper, reputation, or craftsmanship, but because of his master-like demeanor.
Even though Carpenter Lian had a bad temper, he would do his best to teach his apprentices. He would never sign his products and would only recommend them to his apprentices to make them famous.
As such, Carpenter Lian's proud disciples were now very famous in the world of carpenters. Even if they were not very talented, Carpenter Lian would still carefully cultivate them so that they could make a living with their skills.
Because of this, it was impossible for Carpenter Lian's disciples to leave.
A master who never claimed credit, a master who taught his disciple with all his heart, a master who could find food for his disciple. He was just a little bad-tempered, so what?
It was important to note that before a master finished learning a craft, everything they made belonged to the master. This was the case in both the academic world and the culinary world. However, Carpenter Lian was the complete opposite. He would not stick to his apprentice's work at all. Instead, he would help to improve it.
In Carpenter Lian's words, his fame came from the wood he made himself. He did not want his apprentice's immature work.
The middle-aged man smiled and left after pouring the tea.
Only then did Carpenter Lian snorted coldly and began to criticize Zhou Shijie for his stupidity.
However, Zhou Shijie didn't feel like saying anything more. He was thinking of calling Yuan Zhou later to ask him personally what was the matter.
That's right. When Zhou Shijie thought of this, he should have asked Yuan Zhou first instead of finding Carpenter Lian to fight.
But in the beginning, he was so angry that he had naturally forgotten about this. Now that his mind was clear, he naturally couldn't wait.
"I can't be bothered to talk to you about this. I'll go find little Yuan." Zhou Shijie took out his phone and started to make a call. He didn't even bother to pay attention to Carpenter Lian.
"The little yuan you mentioned is my apprentice. Three days later, he will personally hold an apprenticeship banquet for me," Carpenter Lian said contentedly.
Zhou Shijie successfully exploded with anger again. He held it in for a long time before he threw the vegetable knife at Carpenter Lian's face.
"It's just an apprenticeship banquet. I've eaten so many dishes cooked by little Yuan. " Zhou Shijie said.
"So what if you eat a lot? have you ever eaten at the apprenticeship banquet? Have you eaten the apprenticeship banquet personally prepared by little Yuan?" It was obvious that Carpenter Lian knew how to anger Zhou Shijie to death.
Just when Zhou Shijie couldn't bear it anymore and was about to throw the vegetable knife away, the phone in his hand was connected.
Zhou Shijie threw him a look and then said affectionately,""Little Yuan, I'm your uncle Zhou."
At the other side, Yuan Zhou had just finished preparing the ingredients for dinner. While he was washing his hands, he received Zhou Shijie's call.
"Uncle Zhou, what's wrong?" Yuan Zhou sat on the chef's chair while holding his phone.
"I'm at wooden log Lian 's. " Zhou Shijie just said that.
Then, Yuan Zhou immediately understood. He must have found out that he had become Carpenter Lian's apprentice and was here to ask about the specific situation.
Yuan Zhou could almost imagine the chaos over there. He slightly curled the corners of his mouth and then slowly told her his reason.
"Little Yuan, you're too humble sometimes. It's indeed right to call the accomplished one your master, but you don't need to acknowledge that old fellow as your master." Zhou Shijie sighed.
"By the way, uncle Zhou, I've been learning how to make pufferfish recently. Let me treat you to pufferfish." Yuan Zhou knew that Zhou Shijie was jealous and thus said with a flash of inspiration.
"Are you treating me to pufferfish? Then when will you get along?" Zhou Shijie said loudly on purpose so that Carpenter Lian could hear him.
When Yuan Zhou heard Zhou Shijie's deliberate loud voice, he just replied with a smile,""How about tomorrow night? come and eat pufferfish."
"Tomorrow? no problem. This pufferfish is the freshest among all the fish. I'll definitely come tomorrow night." Seeing Carpenter Lian's unsightly expression, Zhou Shijie smiled contentedly and gave him some instructions before hanging up the phone.
"Master and uncle Zhou are really getting younger as they get older." Yuan Zhou burst into laughter and shook his head.
