Looking at the customers in the store, Yu Li frowned and said to Yan Jiecheng in a deep voice: "We can't dig out Silly Zhu, but his disciples may not be of the same mind as him."

"You mean we recruit his apprentice?" In terms of intelligence, Yan Jiecheng is really not as good as Yu Li.

Yu Li said: "Do you know those disciples of Shazhu?"

"I only know a MCA and a fat man." Yan Jiecheng said: "But I'm not familiar with them, so we just met and said hello."

Yu Li disagreed: "Which of the two is better at craftsmanship?"

"It should be MCA." Yan Jiecheng said: "MCA has been following Shazhu for the longest time, it should be more than ten years!"

"Do you think it's possible for us to lure MCA to our place?" Yu Li asked.

Yan Jiecheng pondered and shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Although I'm not familiar with Ma Hua, I've heard from people in the factory that he is a die-hard loyalist to Sha Zhu. He never says two things when Sha Zhu says one thing."

"That was before. MCA had to work under Sha Zhu, learn the trade from Sha Zhu, and of course listen to Sha Zhu. It's different now." Yu Li said, "At worst, we can give him a higher salary. I don’t believe it, there are still people who don’t like money.”

Yan Jiecheng thought about it carefully and felt that what Yu Li said made sense, so he immediately said: "Then let me try it?"

Although this couple likes to be calculating, they are not bad at doing things. They do what they say without any sloppiness at all.

That night, Ma Hua came out of Peony Building and rode his bicycle on the street. Although he was very tired, he always had a smile on his face. Last month, he received [-] yuan in salary and [-] yuan in bonus. It's a thousand and one, which is much higher than the salary paid by the steel rolling mill. Moreover, Mudanlou has clear regulations. At the end of the year, not only will the salary be paid for an extra month, but also a performance bonus will be given.

Thinking about the surprise smile on my wife’s face when she got the money, the satisfied smile on my son and daughter’s face when they ate meat and their mouths were shiny, and the joy in my mother’s eyes and lips when she bought her new clothes. Accusing himself of wasting money, the smile on Ma Hua's face became even brighter.

Even though the burdens on our shoulders are getting heavier and heavier, the working hours every day are getting longer and longer, and the physical and mental fatigue has never stopped, the motivation in MCA's heart has never diminished.

“Brothers MCA!”

Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness and called Ma Hua.

"Is it you?" As Sha Zhu's most trusted disciple, Ma Hua often went to Sha Zhu's house to help Sha Zhu. He didn't know all the people in Sha Zhu's courtyard, but he knew most of them, and Yan Jiecheng was one of them.

"Yan Jiecheng."

"It's me. Brother MCA, are you free? Let's find a place to sit down and have a drink? I'll treat you!" Yan Jiecheng said with a smile on his face.

You must ask for something when you are polite. Although Ma Hua is a rough man and cannot say this, he knows this truth. Moreover, the reputation of Lao Yan's family for calculations has long been spread to the factory, and Ma Hua often listens to it. My master mentioned it.

Now that Yan Jiecheng suddenly said that he wanted to treat him to a drink, Ma Hua immediately became wary and looked at Yan Jiecheng with a bit of vigilance in his eyes: "Are you okay?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded and said, "I have something I want to ask the MCA brothers for help with."

"If you have something to talk about, there's no need to drink. I'm still in a hurry to go home!" Ma Hua said directly.

Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief. He said he invited MCA to have a drink, just to be polite. If MCA really went, he would probably feel bad. MCA's refusal was exactly what he wanted.

"How are the MCA brothers doing at Peony House?" Yan Jiecheng asked proactively with a smile on his face.

"You did a good job!" Ma Hua was confused and wary: "Why do you ask?"

Yan Jiecheng said: "It's nothing. My wife and I also opened a restaurant. It's just a pity that there is no master with good craftsmanship. The business is a bit deserted. It can't be compared with Peony House. My wife and I still have to find one." It will take a master chef with excellent skills to come and take charge of the kitchen."

Ma Hua nodded in agreement and said, "Those who open restaurants must be good at cooking."

"But my wife and I don't know any skilled masters!"

MCA also reacted: "I'm not a great master!"

"You have been with Shazhu for so many years, and you have learned a lot about his craftsmanship. He is no worse than those masters outside."

Ma Hua said bluntly: "Yes, yes, let me tell you the truth. If you want me to work at your place, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Yan Jiecheng was a little embarrassed and managed to maintain a smile: "I think that only if you, MCA brothers, are willing!"

"If you have anything to do, just say it. We are all big men, so don't be pretentious!" Ma Hua said impatiently.

Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly: "Brothers Ma Hua, don't be angry. Don't I want to ask you to introduce some chefs who are good at cooking and willing to make money? Don't worry, the salary is easy to say and will never be less than one thousand and fifty."

Although Yu Li's deal for Yan Jie was only two thousand yuan, Yan Jiecheng completely inherited his father Yan Laoxi's stingy and calculating character. If he was asked to pay two thousand yuan a month, it would not be the same as killing him. .

"Yes!" Ma Hua refused without even thinking: "I can't help you with this. If you really want to find someone to help introduce the master, you can go to my master. My master is here with our chef. In the industry, I know many more people than I do.”

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother MCA, don't leave in a hurry!" Seeing that MCA was about to leave, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly stopped him.

I didn't want him to do this, but it angered Ma Hua: "I asked you whether you are annoying or not. I have already said it so clearly, but you still can't understand."

"Brother Ma Hua, don't worry. Brother, I won't let you work in vain. If you can introduce me to a master chef who is good at cooking, I will keep it for your benefit."

"I wonder if you don't understand people!" Ma Hua suddenly frowned angrily. Yan Jiecheng dared to stop him, so he subconsciously hid aside and got out of the way.

Ma Hua had been tired all day, and he was busy returning home to his wife and children to sit on the hot bed. He was willing to stop and chat with Yan Jiecheng because he and his master were distant neighbors. He never expected that Yan Jiecheng would be like this. I don't know what's interesting, so I even refused and kept on stalking him.

Looking at Ma Hua's back as he rode away, Yan Jiecheng spat to the side and cursed: "Isn't he just a cook? What's there to be proud of!"

It is completely different from the smiling faces and friendly talks in front of the MCA just now. It is typical to use people to the front and not to use people to the back.

Early the next morning, MCA told Shazhu about the matter. Unexpectedly, Shazhu asked him to keep quiet and not tell anyone. Shazhu had already spoken, and MCA naturally cooperated. Unexpectedly, less than a week later, Sha Zhu’s apprentice Fatty made an excuse that he had something to do at home and couldn’t go to Peony Building with Sha Zhu after get off work. Sha Zhu didn’t care at first, but for several days in a row, The fat man said that something was wrong, and Silly Zhu became suspicious.

After work in the factory that day, Shazhu didn't say anything to anyone. He only asked Ma Hua to go to the Peony Building to take charge, while he quietly followed the fat man. He saw the fat man looking around all the way and cautiously came to a restaurant. Shazhu didn't go in either. Just watching from a distance outside the door, she saw Yu Li behind the counter, wearing a women's suit and looking very capable, and she understood everything.

Early the next morning, Fatty came to the cafeteria. As soon as he changed his clothes, he was called over by Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu looked at the fat man and said: "Fat man, it's been a few days. What happened at your home? If there is anything you need help with, just ask. As a master, I don't have much ability, but I can definitely help. help."

The MCA next to him also joined in: "There are still a few of our senior brothers here. If you have anything to say, just ask, but don't be polite to us."

Although the fat man felt guilty, he concealed it very well, "Master, senior brother, thank you for your concern. In fact, it's not a big deal. I've pretty much taken care of it."

"Then when can I go back to work at Peony Building?" Silly Zhu asked.

At this time, the fat man's face showed an expression of embarrassment, and his eyes flickered: "In a few days, it should be almost done."

Silly Zhu didn't give a damn, nodded, and let the fat man go down and do his work.

Another week later, the fat man found Silly Zhu: "Master!"

Silly Zhu looked at the fat man: "Have you finished your family affairs?"

The fat man said: "It's almost done!"

"Now that it's done, let's work hard!" Silly Zhu patted the fat man on the shoulder and said.

But the fat man suddenly called "Master" again.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Silly Zhu asked.

The fat man's eyes were a little erratic, as if hesitating, but he slowly became firm: "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Peony Building with you in the future."

Silly Zhu said: "Why? I have money for you and you still refuse to earn it?"

In Shazhu's view, Fatty's skills are far inferior to those of MCA, and he is too philistine and tactful, and even a bit treacherous. If he hadn't begged this kid, Shazhu would not have accepted him as his apprentice.

It’s just that after being together for a long time, many true personalities cannot be hidden. If nothing else, just being practical, Fatty is far inferior to Ma Hua. Ma Hua is the kind of fool who will study seriously whatever Zhu teaches. Silly No matter how far Zhu Rang achieves, he will definitely work hard until he achieves it.

As for Fatty, he is always the same, almost the same, and he also likes to cheat and play tricks. If it weren't for Silly Zhu's strict requirements, I'm afraid he would still be half a bucket of water even in knife skills.

Fatty obviously didn't want Shazhu to know that he went to work in Yan Jiecheng's restaurant, because according to Fatty's understanding of Shazhu, and with Shazhu's personality, Shazhu would never allow him to go outside without becoming a teacher. Being a chef.

"It's nothing, I just feel too tired. Some time ago, you and I ran between the factory and the Peony Building every day. When I got home every day, I could fall asleep as soon as I touched the pillow. I have been resting recently, but my body can no longer hold on, so I am recuperating at home. "

Seeing the fat man's non-red-faced and out-of-breath nonsense, Silly Zhu didn't say anything. He told him to have a good rest and pay attention to his health without saying anything more.

If he had followed Silu Zhu's original temperament and knew that Fatty was still lying to him at this moment, he would have exploded.

But this time, Silly Zhu was already the father of three children. He also lived with Ran Qiuye day and night, and had a close relationship with Wang Zhong. His temper was no longer as hot as when he was young.

But as time went by, Fatty also gradually discovered that his masters and brothers were alienated from him. Not long after, Fatty's position in the factory changed, from a cook to a handyman. Although the salary remained the same, the work did not change. His job changed, and since then, Shazhu never gave him any guidance.

Fatty is a quick-thinking person, and as time went by, he naturally found out that Fatty was not a good person either, so he immediately went to Silly Zhu to question him.

"Master, if I have done something wrong, you can just say it in front of me. Why do you do this to me?" Seeing the fat man questioning Silly Zhu confidently, Ma Hua next to him couldn't stand it any longer and stabbed the kitchen knife in his hand. He chopped hard on the chopping board and scolded sternly: "You still have the nerve to question the master, don't you know what you did?"

When the fat man saw Ma Hua looking like he was going to eat him, he immediately felt guilty, but he still said stubbornly: "What did I do?"

Ma Hua couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately pointed at the fat man and angrily said, "Do you think we don't know about you quietly going to work at Yan Jiecheng's place? You lied to the master about something going on at home.

You evil-hearted thing, the master taught us crafts and taught us the ability to make a living, but it's better for you. It's obvious that you did something wrong, but you turned around and said that the master had treated you badly. "

The more Ma Hua talked, the more excited he became. As he spoke, he was about to pick up the rolling pin and beat the fat man up, but was stopped by Silly Zhu.

"Ma Hua!" Shazhu scolded sternly, walked forward and snatched the rolling pin from Ma Hua's hand: "What are you doing?"

"I'll teach this ungrateful bastard a lesson!" Ma Hua was very excited, his anger was all written on his face, and he looked like he was going to tear the fat man into pieces.

Silly Zhu, however, scolded angrily with a straight face: "Okay! Don't you think the matter is not big enough?"

MCA immediately gave up, and no one around him dared to persuade him.

Silly Zhu turned to look at the fat man and said: "I won't say more. I gave you the opportunity. But you didn't cherish it and lied to me again and again. The fate between us as master and disciple is over." , from now on you take your Yangguan Road and I cross my single-plank bridge, no one can get in the way of the other!"

"Master, I..." The fat man stared blankly at the unfamiliar Silly Zhu in front of him, at a loss.

Before the fat man could speak, he was interrupted by Silly Zhu: "Fat man, you have to be kind as a human being. You have called me master for so many years. Today I will teach you one last thing. The most important thing is to be a human being." The most important thing is to be down-to-earth, and crooked ways are not a long-term solution after all.”

"As for the word 'master', don't call it me anymore. I have no right to treat you as my apprentice. What happens to you in the future has nothing to do with me."

"But if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for ignoring our past friendship." When he said this, Silly Zhu's face was particularly serious, his eyes were fixed on the fat man, and a strong sense of oppression came over him. , the fat man swallowed, did not dare to say anything more, lowered his head and ran away.

Seeing Silly Zhu calmly pushing the fat man out of the door, although he did not criticize harshly, the majesty and oppression that emanated from him made everyone in the kitchen swallow their saliva in unison.

The same idea suddenly popped up in everyone's mind - Silly Zhu has changed.
