Chapter 104

Cao Weiguo went to the kitchen to practice Tai Chi a few times.

His whole body felt relaxed and refreshed.

Practicing the secret Tai Chi from time to time, Cao Weiguo's physique became stronger and stronger.

"Master, you came really early today!"

Twenty minutes before work, Liu Limin was the first to arrive at the kitchen.

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "I had some things to do this morning, so I came a bit early."

Liu Limin rubbed his hands and said: "Master, can you do me a favor?"

Cao Weiguo: "Tell me what it is first?"

Liu Limin said embarrassedly: "It's like this, my eldest uncle's child, my cousin, is getting married. They aren't doing it in a big way, just setting up three tables at home to entertain the in-laws and relatives. Knowing your superb culinary skills, they want to invite you to help manage the cooking."

Cao Weiguo asked: "When is it?"

Liu Limin said: "Next weekend. If Master has something to do, I'll turn down my eldest uncle."

Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Fine, it's rare for you to ask for something, I'll agree to this."

Liu Limin said gratefully: "Thank you, Master. You are truly so good to me."

Cao Weiguo waved his hand and said: "Alright, if you have the energy to talk, you might as well study your culinary skills more. Once you graduate early, you won't need to find me anymore. Wouldn't it be more impressive if you managed the cooking yourself?"

Liu Limin scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Master, no matter how much I study, I can't catch up to you. If I could have even thirty percent of your culinary skills, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams."

Cao Weiguo kicked Liu Limin unhappily: "Look at your lack of ambition. Hurry up and clean up; while there's a moment of free time, I'll check your knife skills."

"Yes!"

Liu Limin acted happily.

By the time Ma Hua, Fatty, and the others arrived at the kitchen, Liu Limin had already cut a basin of radish slices.

They were cut with uniform thickness and nearly identical size.

Cao Weiguo said: "There are twelve types of knife techniques: cutting, slicing, paring, chopping, scoring, cleaving, trimming, patting, scooping, swirling, scraping, and food carving. You've practiced cutting, paring, and chopping quite well. Next, I will teach you slicing, scoring, and trimming."

Liu Limin bowed excitedly: "Thank you, Master!"

Ma Hua and Fatty, the two apprentices, were envious on the side.

Liu Limin had only been an apprentice under Cao Weiguo for a few days, and his culinary skills were already about to surpass theirs.

Everyone knew this wasn't because Liu Limin was highly talented, but because Cao Weiguo taught with dedication.

Why didn't they have the good fortune to meet a good master like Cao Weiguo?

People in the kitchen arrived one after another, and Deputy Factory Director Li suddenly appeared at the door: "Weiguo, do you have time? Come out, I have something to tell you."

"Coming right away."

Cao Weiguo put down his thermos and hurriedly chased out of the kitchen.

Deputy Factory Director Li said with a kind smile: "It's like this, I have a nephew who has come to the city from the countryside, and I want him to learn a trade. Are you willing to take on an apprentice? I guarantee you, my nephew will definitely be honest and obedient. If he doesn't do well, you can hit or scold him as you please; I will never interfere."

Deputy Factory Director Li had personally experienced how good Cao Weiguo's culinary skills were.

The food he cooked was beyond reproach!

If his nephew could learn even half of Cao Weiguo's skills, he would be able to live well in the future.

Hearing Deputy Factory Director Li's words, Cao Weiguo didn't agree immediately.

Deputy Factory Director Li didn't urge him either; this was not a small matter after all.

Even as a superior, Deputy Factory Director Li couldn't force Cao Weiguo to take an apprentice.

This would not only affect the relationship between the two but also concern his nephew's future.

One sheep is work, two sheep are also work.

Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Factory Director, you have taken good care of me, so naturally, I cannot be lacking. As long as you are at ease handing the person over to me, I will definitely teach him culinary skills with all my heart."

Deputy Factory Director Li said happily: "Weiguo is righteous; my nephew is lucky." ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
