Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Guo Mingsheng waited for He Yuzhu to leave, then went out to get a snack and handed it to He Yushui first. He turned to Jiang Feng and said, "Your name is Jiang Feng, right? I'll call you Xiaofeng too."

"Okay, Uncle Guo."

"We are all not strangers, so I will get straight to the point. I heard what Zhuzi told me about your trip to Baocheng. I felt that you are a quick thinker and you do things with reason and logic, so I wanted to ask you to come and meet him. You advised Zhuzi on many things in Baocheng, but Zhuzi is a simple and honest person, and he doesn't have the brains to do that."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, you are too kind. I am just a little smart, and I have lived in the courtyard for a few months. I have figured out my uncle's temper and what he wants. If I cater to his preferences, I will naturally get what he wants."

"This is not something that can be summed up in a few simple words: cater to their preferences. You understand human nature and know what everyone wants. If you grasp their weaknesses, they will naturally be led by your nose. With your attentiveness, you must have known that He Daqing was leaving a long time ago."

Jiang Feng was startled. Looking at Guo Mingsheng's wise eyes, he knew that he had become suspicious. However, Jiang Feng was open and honest. He would not intend to harm the He family, nor was he afraid of Mr. Guo. He stood up and said, "Uncle Guo, I am ashamed. I actually knew about this a long time ago, but I couldn't tell Brother Zhuzi because he had a bad temper. And I think it is normal for my uncle to find someone else. With my status, I can't stop it. I can only let Zhuzi get a formal job according to their personal ideas, and my uncle can go out and live together. It's just hard for Yu Shui, who can't see her father at such a young age, but I also tried my best to fight for child support and annual visits to minimize the harm to Yu Shui."

Jiang Feng took a sip of tea and continued, "I have a selfish motive here. I came here to stay with my relatives. I can't watch them making trouble at home. I can't continue to be a guest here. Besides, Brother Zhuzi is already grown up, so it's okay to let him take up this responsibility earlier."

"As for what Uncle Guo said about me understanding human nature, maybe it's because I learned it on the way out of my hometown. At that time, I had to hide my food and watch other people's faces when walking on the road. If I didn't understand a little bit, I would probably have died on the way to Sijiu City. But Uncle Guo, don't worry, Brother Zhuzi and I are cousins. I won't harm him, and I will help him behind his back."

When Jiang Feng said this, he saw that Guo Mingsheng's expression was not so serious anymore, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After listening to Jiang Feng's words, Guo Mingsheng knew that when people's lives are at stake, they will appreciate some abilities unknown to ordinary people. As long as he does not harm Zhuzi, it will be fine.

He said, "You can say it for the time being, and I will believe it for the time being. As long as you don't put these calculations on Zhuzi, I will just pretend that I know nothing. But if you want to harm Zhuzi, I am not without a way to deal with you. Zhuzi has an uncle who has traveled all over the country for more than ten years and is now also in Sijiu City."

Guo Mingsheng loved his disciple so much that he even resorted to threats, and he gave up the idea of ​​accepting Jiang Feng as his disciple.

At this time, Jiang Feng heard a "ding" reminder in his mind. Jiang Feng took the time to check and found that the mission failed. Jiang Feng didn't care. Anyway, he didn't want to learn cooking, so he chatted with Guo Mingsheng about the things in the courtyard.

After listening to Jiang Feng's statement, Guo Mingsheng sighed repeatedly that there were so many things going on in this courtyard. It was not obvious when He Daqing was here, but as soon as He Daqing left, all these monsters and demons popped up.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter came in with several dishes, announcing the names of the dishes while serving them. He Yushui was immediately attracted by the food on the table. She had just been happily eating snacks, but the meat was more delicious.

At this time, He Yuzhu came in with two bottles of wine: "Master, I still have to cook, let Xiaofeng drink with you."

"Okay." Guo Mingsheng said.

Jiang Feng immediately stood up and opened the bottle of wine, and poured a glass for Guo Mingsheng and He Yuzhu respectively: "Brother Zhuzi, you are promoted to the second chef today, thanks to Uncle Guo. Let me toast you first before I get back to work."

Guo Mingsheng saw that he still had to go to work, and he didn't know how much Zhuzi could drink. If he drank this glass, wouldn't it cause trouble for Lao Zhang on the first day?

I said, "Zhu Zi, I still have to go to work and cook. Just have a bite for your sake. Leave it there. Come back when you're done."

"I've talked too much, Uncle Guo. I didn't know Brother Zhuzi was so busy." Jiang Feng turned to He Yuzhu and said, "You go and do your work first. I'll accompany Uncle Guo." He Yuzhu responded, turned around and left the box.

"Uncle Guo, you are a magnanimous man, and I will never do that again." Jiang Feng raised his glass to toast Guo Mingsheng.

It turned out that Jiang Feng had just seen Guo Mingsheng think so highly of He Yuzhu, so he deliberately used a toast to test him, wanting to see how this silly master Zhu would deal with it. It turned out that he was quite good, caring for his disciple, and also worried that his disciple would be unable to do anything after drinking too much. He was much better than those beasts in the yard.

Guo Mingsheng said with a dark face: "This is the last time I'm talking to you. There are several traps in one sentence, just waiting for people to jump into them, right?" After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Hehe, Uncle Guo, you know that if you live in that courtyard, you won't be able to think straight and will be led astray in no time."

"You are a smart kid. When I talk to you, I ignore your age. You can easily see the essence of some things and draw the same conclusions as us, who are decades old. It's like you can predict the future."

Jiang Feng was shocked, but he still smiled: "No, no, I just gained some experience. I saw a lot on the way of escape." But he thought in his heart: These people who survived the war years should not be underestimated. I can't be so rough next time. The main thing is Sha Zhu, he won't understand if I don't explain it to him.

Jiang Feng raised his glass: "Uncle Guo, I'll toast you again. I wish you all your wishes come true and good things come in pairs."

"Oh, are you trying to guess what I'm thinking again? Come and tell me. If you're right, I won't blame you this time. I'll even have a drink with you."

"Uncle Guo, I heard from Brother Zhuzi that you only have one daughter, who has already married and moved to another place. Based on your relationship with Brother Zhuzi, Uncle Guo has never thought of taking it a step further."

Guo Mingsheng was shocked. He had thought about this matter for a long time. However, He Daqing was still alive before, and Sha Zhu was really stupid at that time. He was very talkative. I haven't made up my mind yet, and I have only discussed this matter with Zhuzi's wife a few times. This kid can see my thoughts just by some gossip. He will become a great man in the future. If Zhuzi can follow him in the future, it will be worth my trouble for him.

Guo Mingsheng made up his mind and started to speak: "Yes, our older generation accepted apprentices, and when Zhuzi first came, I saw his talent and I was interested. I wanted to observe him more. After all, an apprenticeship takes three years. After these years, I found that Zhuzi was born to be a chef. He learned cooking skills quickly, but he lacked understanding of the ways of the world, and he had a bad temper and was easily angered. This made me undecided."

"But judging from He Daqing's trip to Baocheng, you took Zhuzi along to look for his relatives and handled things in an orderly manner. From Zhuzi's words when he came back, I found that he has thought more about some things. It's good to be able to use his brain. Knowing how to cook is just a skill that will keep you from starving. Being able to think for yourself is the foundation of his future."

Guo Mingsheng stopped, looked at Jiang Feng, and took the wine glass: "I have seen the changes in Zhuzi during this period. It should be because you have been guiding him. I am good at teaching him to cook, but it is up to you to let him learn these ways of the world."

Jiang Feng raised his glass quickly, saying, "I dare not. First, Brother Zhuzi and I are cousins. Second, if my uncle hadn't taken me in, I might have died outside. I will help him in any way I can. I dare not say that I will become rich in the future, but at least I can ensure that he has enough food and clothing. Besides, if we go to Baocheng, I guess when my uncle gets old, the White Widow's sons will not provide for him. I have also left a way out for my uncle. When the time comes, he will send letters and Yu Shui's living expenses to you. This is the guarantee of his future support."

After listening to this, Guo Mingsheng only said that young people are to be feared, and also asked Jiang Feng to keep an eye on Zhuzi in the yard. The two discussed and decided to hold a master-apprentice banquet at Guo Mingsheng's home next weekend. This time would be different from the past. In the past, the master would just accept an apprentice for three years, and if he thought it was enough, he would let you go out and set up your own business.

This time, He Yuzhu is accepted as the last disciple. The son-disciple is not only a disciple but also a son. He must inherit the master's legacy. When the master dies, the disciple must wear mourning clothes. All the master's connections will be inherited by the son-disciple. The apprenticeship banquet will invite the master's relatives and friends, and all the chef colleagues to announce that the master's cooking skills have been passed down, and the master will not accept apprentices in the future. He will spend all his energy on you. He will definitely teach his last-ditch disciple everything he knows. If the son-disciple's skills do not meet the requirements, he will not let you graduate for ten years, for fear that you will lose the master's face.

The two of them were chatting happily, and He Yushui didn't understand what they were saying, but she was still happy sitting aside and eating. She felt that it didn't matter if her father was not around, she could just follow her brother and eat meat every day.

When He Yuzhu finished his work in the kitchen, everyone had almost finished eating. He Yuzhu walked in with a plate of peanuts. No matter what, the master invited the younger brothers and sisters to dinner, so no matter how busy they were, they had to accompany the master for a drink.

After He Yuzhu sat down, Jiang Feng looked at him with a smile. After he toasted his master, he stood up and said, "Brother Zhuzi, congratulations. Today is a double celebration."

He Yuzhu was confused. Today was a happy occasion, so what else was there that I didn't know?

Jiang Feng looked at Guo Mingsheng and said, "Uncle Guo, you should tell Brother Zhuzi in person."
