Seeing Engineer Cheng run out of the shop, Yuan Zhou looked at the empty shop and sighed silently.
Without the fat figure of Engineer Cheng, the small shop suddenly seemed empty.
"This apprentice is not bad." Yuan Zhou smiled and said softly.
"I'm just not used to it when he's gone." Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
That's right. Yuan Zhou didn't like crowds and didn't like to deal with people. Even Sun Ming, his brother who cooked for him, came to look for him most of the time.
However, Yuan Zhou still felt a little empty in his heart. Engineer Cheng, on the other hand, was always self-conscious when he was around. He didn't talk much but was very serious. He had achieved the respect that a disciple should have.
"It's good to be quiet." Yuan Zhou smiled faintly and then continued to busy himself.
On the other side, Engineer Cheng suddenly realized something when he was about to get into the car.
"Master, do you think I did something wrong?" Engineer Cheng said hesitantly. He turned his head and looked at the Yuanzhou shop that was already out of sight.
"Otherwise, why didn't you want me in the shop all of a sudden?" After Engineer Cheng got into the car, he frowned and thought carefully.
In Engineer Cheng's opinion, Yuan Zhou's behavior was abrupt. He knew that Yuan Zhou had always been used to planning. And Engineer Cheng was sure that this teaching method didn't exist yesterday.
Therefore, Engineer Cheng immediately began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong.
"Pa". Engineer Cheng hammered the steering wheel in annoyance. He didn't dare to go back to the shop to ask, for fear of making Yuan Zhou even more dissatisfied.
After all, Yuan Zhou was still teaching him now. What if he went back and was thought to be not serious about the task?
"Forget it. I'll go home and ask Ah Kan to analyze it for me." Engineer Cheng made up his mind and immediately drove to his shop.
Engineer Cheng had something on his mind, so he drove much faster than usual. Originally, it would have taken him half an hour, but he only took 20 minutes to get there.
Even so, he still remembered that Yuan Zhou didn't like people breaking the traffic rules. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to run a red light.
After arriving home, Engineer Cheng didn't care about anything else and started to call for people in the lobby.
"Ah Kun, Ah Kun, where did you go?" Engineer Cheng shouted twice. Seeing that no one responded, he went to the kitchen.
Engineer Cheng owned a large restaurant. It was located on a commercial floor. The entire first floor belonged to his restaurant. It was still early. Except for those on duty, there was no one else in the restaurant.
The kitchen was located at the back of the building. However, before Engineer Cheng walked to the kitchen, a graceful figure appeared in the kitchen.
This person was wearing high heels and had wavy hair. She was wearing a red dress with a slit to her calf. She looked tall and beautiful. There were some wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, but she exuded the charm of a mature woman.
"Oh, it's you, Zhao Mei. The sun has risen from the west today. I didn't expect you to come back at this time." The woman's footsteps were hurried. When she saw that Engineer Cheng was fine, she immediately ridiculed him.
"My dear wife, I have something to ask Ah Kan about cooking. Where's that girl?" Engineer Cheng paused for a moment. Then, he thought of Yuan Zhou and immediately said.
"Humph, it's all because you're useless. Your daughter is learning to check the goods." The woman, who was also Engineer Cheng's wife, said impatiently.
"Honey, I'll come to you later." Engineer Cheng hugged his wife and then walked quickly to the kitchen.
Engineer Cheng didn't dare to ask his wife about Yuan Zhou.
"This damned fatty." The woman pinched Master Cheng's arm and then went to the front hall as if she had vented her anger.
In Engineer Cheng's restaurant, Engineer Cheng was in charge of the kitchen while his wife was in charge of the front hall.
Now that Engineer Cheng wasn't around, Engineer Cheng's wife had to shoulder the responsibility. In the first year, she helped out from time to time. It wasn't a big deal for a short period of time. But after a long period of time, she couldn't do anything about it. After all, she knew nothing about the kitchen.
She couldn't persuade her father to change his mind. Moreover, her daughter, Cheng Ying, helped her father to say that she was willing to learn how to manage the kitchen. Therefore, she had to compromise.
However, when she saw Engineer Cheng come back this morning, she was still very happy. No matter what he came back to do, he would always have her in his heart.
"Dadada," thinking of this, the woman in the bright red dress walked briskly.
On the other side, Engineer Cheng had arrived at the kitchen. At first glance, he saw two people standing at the back door. One was a fat man and the other was a pretty girl with short hair.
The girl was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, cropped jeans and white sneakers. She looked fresh and clean. At this time, she was writing something in a small black leather notebook in her hand seriously.
It seemed that the habit of using a notebook to record things was hereditary. That's right. This person was Engineer Cheng's daughter, Cheng Ying.
"Ah Kun, come here." Engineer Cheng took two steps forward. Seeing Tou Kun had calmed down, he said calmly.
In the kitchen, Tou Kun was responsible for purchasing ingredients.
"Dad, why are you back?" Cheng Ying raised her head and looked at Engineer Cheng in surprise.
"Ahem, I have something to talk to Ah Kun. Ah Wei, you go to the freezer first." Engineer Cheng didn't answer Cheng Ying's question. Instead, he said to Tou Kun.
"Okay." Tou Kun nodded his head and left quickly.
Now, only Engineer Cheng and Cheng Ying were left in the kitchen.
"Ah Wei, you are about the same age as my master. Help me analyze if I have done anything wrong." Engineer Cheng said quickly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Ying tilted her head in puzzlement.
That's right. The reason why Engineer Cheng came back to ask Cheng Ying was that he was afraid that there would be a generation gap between him and Yuan Zhou. However, his daughter was about the same age as Yuan Zhou. Strictly speaking, she was younger.
Since they were close in age, she should be able to tell if he had done anything wrong.
"It's like this. My master, Yuan Zhou, doesn't want me to go to the store from today onwards …" Engineer Cheng said the reason seriously. Then, he started to talk about what he had done recently.
"Dad, Dad, stop. I'm getting a headache from listening." Engineer Cheng was anxious. He spoke quickly and messily. Hearing him, Cheng Ying got a headache and asked him to stop immediately.
"Listen carefully, little girl. It's not easy for your dad to be apprenticed to me, so I can't make any mistakes. You two are almost the same age. Let's see if I have violated the taboo of being young." Master Cheng patted his daughter's head and said earnestly.
"Dad, have you ever thought that Boss Yuan is doing this for your sake?" Cheng Ying looked at her dad curiously and asked.
"For my sake?" Engineer Cheng was puzzled.
"Mom has been looking for you every day for the past few days. Maybe your master found out, so he changed his method. I think it makes more sense," Cheng Wu said, pretending to be serious.
"Besides, I don't think Master Yuan is such a petty person. He won't stop you from going to the store just because of your so-called offense. This is obviously a more suitable learning method for you." Cheng Ying's trust in Yuan Zhou was written all over her white and tender face.
"Pa". Engineer Cheng patted Cheng Ying's head and said, "You call my master. You are not in the same generation as me. Don't call me that randomly."
Cheng Ying rubbed her head and stuck out her tongue. Then, she ran outside and said, "Dad, I think Boss Yuan is doing this for your sake. Since you are back, I will leave the kitchen to you."
"Doing this for my sake? Master is really a gentle person. "Engineer Cheng was stupefied for a second and then revealed a gentle smile on his chubby face.
"No, master can't only do this for my disciple. I have to think for master as well." Engineer Cheng looked at his daughter who ran away and revealed a thoughtful expression.
"This girl always looks up to me. She should be able to do it. I will go and ask her later." Engineer Cheng muttered in his heart.
"Um. Besides, I don't need that girl in the store. Ah Ying is learning Western Pastry, which is also related to cooking. I don't think she will cause any trouble." Engineer Cheng analyzed in his heart.
That's right. Engineer Cheng wanted to persuade his daughter to help Yuan Zhou on his behalf and do something within her ability.
However, this matter needed the consent of his master and daughter. Therefore, Engineer Cheng decided to do it step by step.
After all, both of them were very important to him.
