"Brother Wei, is the pot ready?" Since Wei Zi came here, the whole blacksmith shop has changed a lot.

The stove was lit, the room was tidy, and even business was booming.Compared with the previous half a month when I didn't see a single customer, although the current blacksmith shop is not said to be full of people, at least there is some business every day.From making parts for a carriage to making a small kitchen knife, Wei Zi has plenty to do every day.Wei Zi's cheap master, Tang Qiu, would never intervene in these door-to-door business. Even with Wei Zi around, the old man was still drunk every day, and when he got up at noon, Wei Zi would help him cook and wash the dishes.Thanks to old man Tang calling Wei Zi like this, Wei Zi picked up the culinary skills that he was about to give up.Back in Qingshan Village, Wei Zi ate the villagers most of the time, even if he started the fire himself, he would roast sweet potatoes and meat.Compared with forged ones going straight to level [-], Wei Zi's cooking skills are nothing but one more roasted sweet potato.And now, in order to cook for old man Tang, Wei Zi racked his brains.Knowing Wei Zi's situation, although many people advised Wei Zi to leave, Wei Zi just laughed it off.It's just that the family has raised a willful old man.In the worst case, just treat the labor as the rent paid to my master, and I just called the master at the beginning, and didn't perform any salutations.If someone can take him in, he should be secretly happy.

If Wei Zi has any other advantages, then optimism definitely counts as one.

"The pot is ready. Chef Wang, shake it to see if the weight fits your hand." Putting down what he was doing, Wei Zi went to the shelf and took out a large pot. "According to the size you want."

As a cook, Chef Wang knew whether it was what he wanted as soon as he reached out to take the pot. "That's right, that's right, brother Wei's skills are becoming more and more exquisite." With the pot in one hand, Chef Wang patted Wei Zi's shoulder with one free hand. "The pot suddenly broke because I was used to it, and I feel that something is wrong no matter how I use the spare pot to cook in the past two days. When you go to Qingfengzhai, I will cook two dishes for you!" Qingfengzhai is the only inn here, and Chef Wang is the chef and owner inside.Actually speaking of Qingfengzhai is just a few years ago. You must know that such a cultured name as "Qingfengzhai" cannot be thought of by a group of people who can't memorize the three-character scriptures. It is said that some celebrities came here to mention it back then.The members of the Wang family have passed down the store from generation to generation.

"Hearing you say that, my saliva is almost drooling." Hearing what Chef Wang said, Wei Zi couldn't help laughing. "However, if you can teach me a little bit... You know, I don't know how to cook as much as you do."

Hearing what Wei Zi said, Chef Wang couldn't help feeling sorry for Wei Zi while admiring him.It can be said that the whole town knows the virtues of old man Tang in Qingshan Town.Although the craft of blacksmithing is good, but it is not self-motivated.Day after day, he only knows how to drink without doing business. Chef Wang's Qingfengzhai is the place where old man Tang often drinks on credit.Only when there is no place to buy wine on credit, old man Tang will come out to play iron for two days.And every time the money earned, Old Man Tang will definitely take it to repay the wine money, and then drink on credit! "Brother Wei..." As a person who is only forty years old, Chef Wang's child is only a few years older than Wei Zi. In the hands of such an unmotivated person.

"Chef Wang, I know what you're going to say. But I won't leave." During this time, Wei Zi heard this kind of words more than once.With a faint smile on his face, Wei Zi bowed to Chef Wang. "I know you are doing this for my own good, but since the master has taken me in, as long as the master doesn't drive me away, I will stay here for one more day, and..." I turned my head and glanced at the closed door , Wei Zi had a nostalgic look on his face. "Being a teacher for one day is a father for the rest of your life. Taking care of the master is the duty of an apprentice." At the beginning, because I was angry with my father, I directly applied to a university in another province, and later because I worked part-time, I was left with only In the next few days of the Spring Festival, I can go home and reunite with my parents.And after that... he closed his eyes to conceal the loneliness in his eyes, and when he opened them again, Wei Zi returned to his usual state. "So, Chef Wang, for the sake of my hard work, teach me how to do it next time? You know, there are only a few dishes in the past, don't say the master is tired of eating, even if I don't want to eat it after I cook it How about I charge you half the price next time you come here to pack something!" Seeing that Chef Wang didn't speak but just looked at himself, Wei Zi gritted his teeth. "How about, I'll call you twice for free." This is already Wei Zi's limit. After living for so long, Tang Qiu has never given Wei Zi a penny. It's on credit, and even if it's the rest, let him buy wine.Wei Zi paid for the food and meals for so many days, and sometimes when others came to ask for the previous arrears and Tang Qiu was not around, Wei Zi paid for it himself.After such a long period of time, even if the original Silver Feather cost 60 taels, it is gradually not enough to spend.And the temperature is going to drop soon, he doesn't have a cotton coat, and Wei Zi doesn't know if Tang Qiu has a cotton coat yet.

Wei Zi's entanglement can be seen, and Chef Wang is not the kind of person who likes to embarrass others. "It's just teaching two hands. I have been cooking for more than 30 years. How can I be afraid that you, a stupid young man, can learn my craft in one go? If this is the case, then my family's Qingfengzhai can be sold long ago. When will If you are free, come to my place, I welcome you at any time." After speaking, Chef Wang left the blacksmith shop with the pot in his hand.

"Huh—" Wei Zi breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Chef Wang left.Now I don't have to worry about what to cook.After sitting on the chair for a while, Wei Zi walked to the casting table again, he wanted to practice casting to the peak as soon as possible.Only then can there be hope of returning home...

In fact, Tang Qiu woke up a long time ago, he originally wanted to come out directly.But after hearing Wang Feng's voice, he temporarily changed his mind, leaning on the door panel and began to listen to the corner of the wall openly.Tang Qiu also knew that his behavior during this period was excessive, but Tang Qiu just wanted to see how long Wei Zi could last.But when he heard Wei Zi's words, "A teacher for a day, a father for life", his eyes turned red.If, if that hadn't happened back then, Feng'er...Feng'er... Covering his face, Tang Qiu gradually slid and sat down against the door panel, curling himself into a ball against the door panel.
