Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 66: Between the master and the apprentice, one of them is always not good enough!
【Eating Melon Value +300】

Seeing that Jia Zhang was blamed for the incident and that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, the master and disciple, were implicated, Wang Weiguo happily started eating melon seeds.

Of course, watermelon is the most suitable food to eat, but in this era of material scarcity, Wang Weiguo would not dare to buy it even if it was sold in the system mall.

Besides, it’s hard to explain the source in this season, so I can only use melon seeds instead.

But it has to be said.

Jia Zhang is worthy of being Jia Zhang. She can come out and bring hatred to her family for no reason.

at this time.

Jia Zhang was furious.

Originally, I just saw that Wang Weiguo received so much money at once, and I felt jealous and extremely unbalanced, and I couldn't help but say something sour.

But I never thought that I would be targeted.

It would have been fine if he had just scolded her, but he also scolded his son.

Jia Dongxu is her pride and the face of their Jia family.

The key point is that Jia Dongxu is useless and a coward.

Wang Weiguo scolded Jia Dongxu like this just yesterday, and now someone else is scolding him again. If this continues, what will happen to Jia Dongxu's reputation?

"Mr. Zhao, you know nothing!"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she yelled at Aunt Zhao who had just spoken, "Our Dongxu was promoted to a regular apprentice in less than two years, but Wang Weiguo hasn't graduated in three years. How can he be inferior to him?"

"Wow, wow, wow, less than two years, that's amazing!"

"Can that be the same?"

"Others in Weiguo's family are learning cooking skills. Being an apprentice for three years is the most basic. Besides, Fengze Garden is not an ordinary place. It's already amazing to be able to get in. It's normal for the requirements to become a master to be higher."

"You are not the only fitter in our hospital. Do you think I don't know that others can become full-time fitters after one year of apprenticeship? Your Dongxu has used it for two years. You still have the nerve to mention it."

"Besides, what will happen after your Dongxu becomes a regular employee?"

"It's been several years, and I'm still a first-level fitter. I haven't even been promoted to the first level. It's simply..."

"..."

Heartbreak!

Even Wang Weiguo felt heartbroken for Jia Dongxu after hearing Aunt Zhao's words.

Wang Weiguo, who had been secretly criticized for failing to complete his studies in three years, seemed to have become outstanding in contrast with Jia Dongxu.

That’s not what they said when they gossiped before.

In fact, Wang Weiguo knew that these words might not be sincere. They were just meant to attack Jia Zhang, so he deliberately raised his image.

But to be honest, it is understandable that Wang Weiguo started his career a little late.

But it is really hard to understand that Jia Dongxu has been working for seven or eight years and is still a first-level fitter.

Normally, everyone just talks about it in private, but today is the first time it has been made public.

The main reason was that he and Jia and Zhang were at loggerheads with each other.

"Zhao Chunmei, you're going a bit too far."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to intervene, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to stand up.

As his apprentice, Jia Dongxu was scolded in public like this. Not only was he ashamed, but his level of teaching his apprentice was also questioned. As Yi Zhonghai stood up, Aunt Zhao, who had been scolding vigorously just now, suddenly remembered that Jia Dongxu's master was Yi Zhonghai. She was a little embarrassed and had to explain: "Uncle, I'm not talking about you. This matter has nothing to do with you.

As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but it depends on yourself to practice.

You are about to take the seventh-level fitter exam, so there will be no problem teaching this technique to your apprentices.

But if the apprentice is a stubborn stone, then no matter how powerful the master is, it will be useless..."

Yi Zhonghai is the boss of the compound, so Aunt Zhao naturally doesn't want to offend him, but while praising him, she also steps on Jia Dongxu.

No matter what, Jia Dongxu is still a first-level fitter after working for seven or eight years. If it's not the master's fault, then it's the apprentice's fault. Someone has to take the blame.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression eased a little.

At least my reputation as a master has been saved for the time being.

However, considering Jia Dongxu's face, Yi Zhonghai said in a high-sounding manner: "In fact, Dongxu's talent is not bad, but he is not diligent enough. The key is that he was not lucky during the assessment, so he is stuck in his current position.

I think based on this year's assessment, as long as there are no unexpected events, Dongxu will have no problem getting promoted to a second-level fitter."

"Uncle, once or twice is bad luck, it can't be like this five or six times!"

However, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but speak.

She said so much just now. If she admits now that Jia Dongxu is fine, wouldn’t that be slapping herself in the face?
But she didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai directly, so she seized on the problem Yi Zhonghai mentioned just now and said, "I think it's like what you said, Uncle, this Jia Dongxu is just lazy and not ambitious enough."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's face looked a little unhappy.

Although Yi Zhonghai just spoke for his son, his words were not all good.

Especially when Zhao Chunmei interpreted it that way, it seemed as if it was all her son Jia Dongxu's problem.

She was just worried that Yi Zhonghai was her son's master. Besides, their family couldn't do without Yi Zhonghai's support. She didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai. She was a little angry and muttered: "High skills don't necessarily mean that they can teach apprentices. Besides, which master nowadays doesn't have a trick up his sleeve? Aren't they all afraid that their apprentices will starve to death..."

Jia Zhang's voice was not loud, but several people around heard it.

Coincidentally, Yi Zhonghai was among them.

Yi Zhonghai's face changed slightly, his heart skipped a beat, the corners of his eyes twitched for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal.

Others may not know, but he himself knew clearly that when he heard those two sentences said by Jia Zhang, he actually felt guilty.

It’s not that Jia Dongxu lacks talent. He’s just a little lazy and careless.

As a master, when Yi Zhonghai discovered that Jia Dongxu had these problems, he should have reminded and educated him, but he did not, and even turned a blind eye.

If Yi Zhonghai had been more strict, Jia Dongxu would not have been stuck as a first-level fitter for so long.

It's not about pampering and loving him. He is not that polite towards other disciples.

He just didn't want Jia Dongxu to be promoted so quickly.

Because Jia Dongxu was the person he had chosen to take care of his elderly parents, if his locksmith skills improved too quickly and he passed all the tests, his salary would increase accordingly, and he would live a good life, and he, as his master, would not be that important.

Only when the Jia family was having a hard time would he have the opportunity to show favor, improve his status in Jia Dongxu's heart, and make Jia Dongxu completely dependent on him as his master.

This concerns retirement, a matter of half his life, so he has to be cautious.

In the past, it was natural for apprentices to provide for their masters in their old age.

But now is a new society, and many young people may not have the same ideas as before, especially Jia Dongxu has not reached the point where he can feel at ease, so Yi Zhonghai dare not gamble.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had clearly heard it but pretended to be deaf and dumb, Wang Weiguo, who was eager to watch the fun, suddenly spoke up and refuted Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang, what you said is really heartless!
"Wouldn't our master be disheartened to hear this?"
