When does time pass the slowest? When you're waiting.
Uncle Jiu refused to come back. Li Zhengyi was sitting in the hall of Yizhuang, smelling the faint fragrance coming from the kitchen, and felt very helpless.
Sitting like this, he seemed to be eating and drinking. But it felt a little inappropriate to help. After all, it was not the first time for a guest to go to the kitchen to cook.
Fortunately, this torture did not last long, and just like Wencai said, he was indeed very fast in cooking.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, can I eat spicy food? I made the fish head with chopped pepper, so it should be okay, right?"
Are you sure this isn't fake?
It had only been a while, Li Zhengyi felt that it was only about half an hour, but Wencai had already prepared a table full of sumptuous meals.
Four dishes and one soup, including meat and vegetables, are simply delicious, tasty, and delicious.
In addition to the fish head with chopped pepper, there are also boiled chicken, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried bamboo shoots and tofu soup. In addition, there is also a bowl full of crystal clear glutinous rice.
"Here, let's try how it tastes."
Coupled with the joyful and proud expression on Wen Cai's face, Li Zhengyi felt that this guy was really in the wrong profession.
If he changes his career to become a cook, he will definitely achieve good results and do something he likes. At least it will be much better than him looking sad now even if he can't even read a book.
"It's better to wait until Uncle Ninth comes back to eat. Senior Brother Wencai, the food you cook will be delicious just by looking at it."
"Also, can I ask you how to cook food quickly and well?"
These words made the expression on Wencai's face become a little shy. He scratched his neck in embarrassment and said with a happy smile: "It's just ordinary food. I just cook it for Master often and it takes a long time." It just becomes a little more convenient.”
It turns out that this is what makes perfect.
But looking at the delicious appearance of the food and the speed at which it was served, someone felt that it would definitely not be able to reach this level without six or seven years of effort.
But if this is the case, does it count as Uncle Jiu exploiting child labor? Even so, the apprentice he got cannot be used as an animal, right?
But think about it again, in the movie Uncle Jiu is really good to his two apprentices and takes great care of them.
Even when I go to town to drink coffee, I always bring my talents with me. The reason why he can cook such good food is probably due to his own interests.
"Eat quickly, don't wait, who knows when my master will be back."
…
After hearing that Wen Cai was completely different from his previous paintings, the expression on Li Zhengyi's face became a little surprised and very helpless.
I had clearly said that Uncle Jiu would be back soon, but he changed his mind after just one meal.
Perhaps it was because Li Zhengyi had a very good impression of Li Zhengyi because of his talent, so he entertained him so warmly.
On the other hand, it also shows that Uncle Jiu is very strict with his apprentice on the surface, but he is also very fond of him.
If you were an apprentice from another family and started to use chopsticks without waiting for the master to come back, you might have to be taught a lesson.
Forget it, after thinking about it, he decided to do as he pleased. Since the literary talents said so, he would no longer be polite.
If you keep putting it off, it might make the other party feel unhappy.
Under Wen Cai's encouraging gaze, Li Zhengyi was about to use his chopsticks when he suddenly heard a voice calling from the door.
"Wencai, open the door..."
Listening to the powerful middle-aged male voice, Li Zhengyi was almost certain that the person outside the door was Uncle Jiu.
After all, besides my own people, who else would come to this remote village at this time?
Sure enough, he saw an expression of surprise on the face of Wen Cai opposite him. After saying a word to Li Zhengyi, he hurriedly opened the door.
"You sit down and wait for a while, I will open the door for the master."
Only a fool would continue doing it. It would be great if there were other options, but Li Zhengyi came here with the purpose of learning skills.
If you don't wink at all, you might as well go home and get a piece of tofu to practice Iron Sand Palm.
As he hurriedly stood up, a strange thought flashed through his mind.
Wencai always said before that Uncle Jiu would be back soon, but it never happened every time. But just now he said he didn't know when he would be back, and Uncle Jiu immediately knocked on the door.
Is there some strange mechanism behind this? Because Li Zhengyi also feels like this many times.
The more you expect something, the less likely it will happen. But when you don't want it to happen, it has to happen forcefully.
I have to say, the world is really strange.
"You're not bad at literary talent. You've made great progress. Knowing that Master will be back soon, you actually prepared meals in advance."
"But what delicious food did you make today? Why does it taste so good?"
After the door opened, the voices sounded more real. Although his speaking voice was not high-pitched, he sounded very powerful, worthy of Uncle Jiu.
At this moment, he heard Cai Cai say something again, which almost made his jaw drop in shock.
"You can smell it so quickly. Master, your nose is indeed sharper than a dog's."
…
Although I don’t know if he did it intentionally or on purpose. But seeing Wen Cai's tone as if he was praising Uncle Nine, Li Zhengyi felt that it was rare for him not to be purged.
Maybe it was because the apprentice was used to being clumsy, Uncle Ninth didn't say anything, but the cheerful look before disappeared. When Li Zhengyi saw him coming in from the door, his stern look became more majestic...
When I saw this image, a familiar feeling came to my mind.
Uncle Jiu was wearing a gray robe, with a medium build and handsome appearance.
He walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back, a serious face, and firm eyes.
He has a short mustache, and what attracts more attention is his thick unibrow, which gives him an aura of calmness and self-importance.
After entering the room, he saw that there were still outsiders, and he immediately calmed down his dark expression.
He asked with some doubts: "Who is this little brother...?"
Wencai, who just felt that he was unhappy with his master and became a little silent, immediately answered excitedly: "He is Brother Li. He came from the town to visit you, master. He has been waiting all day."
"Oh, by the way. Xiao Li brought a lot of fruits, including your favorite pineapple, master. I put them all in the kitchen."
Hearing that his apprentice actually accepted the gift first, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but glared at Wen Cai.
As the saying goes, the hand that takes someone is short, and the mouth that eats them is short.
He emphasized to his two apprentices many times that no merit should be rewarded, but these two guys always had short memories.
If the other party says something difficult, how should he refuse?
