Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"This guy has a big head and a thick neck. He looks quite honest, but why does he have such a bad taste when he opens his mouth? He said the young boss is an apprentice of Fengdeng Tower? Don't be such a braggart."

"That's right. If the apprentices of Fengdeng Building had this skill, Fengdeng Building would have been very successful long ago. Why would they still be doing it on East Street?"

"I know him. He is indeed the master of Fengdeng Tower, but his skills are much worse than those of the young boss. I think they just want to steal his skills."

"That's right. The guy standing next to him is the shopkeeper Liu from Fengdeng Tower. These two must have been very unsatisfactory when they came together."

The diners all stood up to speak for Chen Jun.

What a crappy apprentice! Whose apprentice can be so awesome?

Even the most awesome restaurant in this city wouldn't dare to make such boasts.

When Manager Liu and Master Liang heard these words, their bodies couldn't help but stiffen.

But his steps did not stop at all.

These are the customers who come to Chen Jun’s stall to eat, and they will definitely speak in Chen Jun’s favor.

They stayed and argued with these people, but it was obvious that they were defeated.

As for fighting, forget it.

Dozens of people can send them to the hospital with just one punch each.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so he retreated.

But when the two of them returned to Fengdeng Tower in a huff, looking at the lunch boxes in their hands, they felt mixed emotions.

You can’t win by scolding me, you can’t win by beating me, and you can’t even match me in craftsmanship.

This makes people feel very depressed.

Master Liang gulped down two sips of herbal tea, and his anger subsided a little.

"boom!"

"Call He Yuzhu over here."

Master Liang waved to a waiter and shouted loudly.

After a while, Sha Zhu ran out from the kitchen with a guilty look on his face.

He was just hiding vegetables in the kitchen, planning to take advantage of the break from cooking at noon to hide a box of delicious food, and then take it back and take a short leave to visit Jia Zhang.

During the day that Jia Zhang was captured, Sha Zhu had no appetite and no energy to do anything.

If his sister Hua had not been detained, today would be the day they would get the evidence.

Ugh......

"He Yuzhu, come here, I want to ask you something." Master Liang said.

"Hey, Master Liang, if you ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, you and Chen Jun should be from the same compound."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes, he and I live in the same yard, with our front and back yards, and we have known each other since childhood."

After saying that, he added: "But I have an average relationship with that guy, not very close."

These words seemed to clear the relationship between the two.

Master Liang stroked his chin, glanced at the surroundings, and asked in a low voice, "Have any strangers come to your courtyard recently?"

Sha Zhu thought about it and nodded: "Yes, there is a guy named Xu Damao in the backyard. He seems to have met a girl recently. It is said that the girl's family is quite rich and she looks..."

"Wait, who is Xu Damao?" Master Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped some important information.

"Is Xu Damao close to Chen Jun? Can he cook? Did he teach Chen Jun how to cook?"

The series of questions made Shazhu a little confused.

What is this all about!

Xu Damao is a loser. He has a hard time cooking a home-cooked meal. He doesn't know how to cook at all.

"Um...this Xu Damao is my mortal enemy. He is an apprentice projectionist at the steel mill and he can't cook." Sha Zhu thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"If he can't cook, why are you mentioning him?" Master Liang was a little displeased.

Sha Zhu glanced at him and asked in surprise, "Aren't you asking if there are any strangers in the courtyard recently?"

Shopkeeper Liu standing by couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Is there a communication barrier between these two people?

Why does it sound like everyone is talking about their own things?

So he knocked on the table and whispered to Sha Zhu, "Master Liang, what you mean is, did Chen Jun find a master recently? This kid was an apprentice in our store before, how come he suddenly learned how to cook?"

So you were asking about this matter. Sha Zhu suddenly realized it, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"should not."

"Tsk, what do you mean by 'should'? Think it over carefully before you answer." Master Liang had a bad temper and became a little anxious at the time.

"No, the staff in our courtyard is very fixed, and the three courtyards in the front, middle and back are all full. No new people have moved in recently." Sha Zhu said affirmatively.

"Who did Chen Jun learn how to cook from? He doesn't even know how to cut vegetables, how can he master such skills in such a short time?" Master Liang asked puzzledly, "It would be impossible for him to achieve this without the guidance of a master behind him."

"The expert behind him is definitely extraordinary!"

Shopkeeper Liu beside him also nodded in approval: "Yes, someone definitely gave you advice. He Yuzhu, think about it carefully."

Sha Zhu scratched his head in distress. As far as he could remember, no one taught Chen Jun how to cook.

This guy seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. After being fired, he went straight to set up a stall.

Where is the time to study?

Not to mention Master Liang and Shopkeeper Liu, even he was puzzled by this.

Everyone was so stupid, why did you suddenly take off?

"No, I'm sure not." After thinking for a long time, Sha Zhu finally uttered a word.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu shook his head in disappointment.

"Alas, you must have not noticed it. Pay more attention to it next time. Chen Jun doesn't want to come to our Fengdeng Building, nor does he want to move to other streets to set up a stall. So we have to find the person behind him."

"He Yuzhu, you should keep a close eye on it from now on. If you find anything, report it to me immediately. As long as you can find Chen Jun's master, it will be a great achievement for you. I will give you a raise."

After that, Manager Liu smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will dig his master to our Fengdeng Tower and let him teach you how to cook. You are more talented than Chen Jun. If he can do this, you must be better than him."

Sha Zhu was stunned at first, then he thanked him: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu, I will definitely keep a close eye on it."

Although I said this, I felt unsure in my heart.

He also hoped that Chen Jun had a master, but he had never seen one.

"Okay, go get your chopsticks, try these dishes, and tell me what you think."

Master Liang felt a little tired, so he changed the subject.

When I went to Chen Jun's stall to have a meal, people actually thought I was trying to steal his skills.

If this gets out, he will be so embarrassed.

It is obvious that Chen Jun is the apprentice and I am the master chef!

Anyone who hears this will feel uncomfortable.

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Master Liang is really good. Don't be fooled by Chen Jun's boasting. In fact, his cooking is just so-so. You only need to taste it once and you will be able to figure out Chen Jun's tricks. Then we can do the same and make him angry to death."

Upon hearing this, Master Liang raised his head abruptly, frowned, stared at Sha Zhu and asked, "What do you mean, do you also think I am stealing your skills?"
