122 A Little Awkward
But the fat chef was determined.
“My father and grandfather both said that chefs rely on their skills. It has nothing to do with age.
Some people could only cook so much at their age.
But some people could cook well at a young age. You are clearly the latter.
I’m convinced by your superb culinary skills and sincerely want to acknowledge you as my master. Please fulfill my wish!”
With that, he bent down and kowtowed heavily.
Seeing this, his disciples hurriedly knelt down and touched their heads to the ground.
Yu Niaoniao had lived two lifetimes and had never seen such a scene.
She hurriedly put down her teacup and stood up to help the fat chef.
“Get up. If you have something to say, say it standing up. You guys are exaggerating. I’m not used to it.”
The fat chef did not say anything like “I won’t stand up if you don’t agree.”
He stood up obediently.
“Miss Yu, my grandfather and father were both chefs.
I had learned how to cook from them since I was young and had trained for so many years. Initially, I thought that my culinary skills were not bad.
Only now did I know that there was a mountain beyond a mountain. I was too short-sighted.
You’re so much younger than me, but your culinary skills are much better than mine.
Most importantly, you didn’t hide anything from us and taught us how to cook every day. You even taught us all your tricks.
After your careful guidance, my culinary skills have improved.
In my heart, you are already my master.
Even if you don’t agree to take me in as your disciple, I will treat you like my master in the future.”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red again. He had obviously developed genuine feelings.
Yu Niaoniao did not expect him to be so grateful just because she taught him a few dishes.
She reached out to pat the fat chef on the shoulder, but he was too tall for her to reach.
It was a little awkward.
She was about to withdraw her hand when the fat chef immediately bent his knees and squatted, making himself shorter.
In this way, Yu Niaoniao’s hand could easily pat his shoulder. Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao could not help but laugh.
“You’re quite quick-witted.”
The fat chef smiled as well. “My father taught me this. If I want to learn more skills, I have to be smart and sweet.”
Yu Niaoniao patted his strong shoulder and said.
“Forget it. I don’t intend to take in a disciple for the time being.”
These days, a master-disciple relationship was equivalent to a father-son relationship. Once she took the fat chef as her disciple, it was equivalent to tying herself to him. In the future, she would have to share both fortune and misfortune.
She wasn’t ready for that.
The fat chef’s face registered obvious disappointment.
But then he heard Yu Niaoniao say.
“If you really want to learn cooking from me, you can call me teacher. In the future, you can learn from me when I cook. You can ask me anything you don’t understand.”
The fat chef did not understand the difference between a teacher and a master, but when he heard that he could learn cooking from Miss Yu, his mood immediately turned from gloomy to sunny. A big smile blossomed on his fat face.
“Teacher!”
The disciples behind him hurriedly called her teacher.
The fat chef was immediately unhappy. He turned his head and roared at his disciples.
“This is my teacher, not yours. Don’t shout!”
His disciples were not afraid of being shouted at. They still addressed her as teacher with a smile.
The fat chef was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her.
His disciples quickly dispersed.
Yu Niaoniao looked at the fat chef and asked.
“I still don’t know your name?”
Facing the teacher, the fat chef immediately stopped being angry and stood obediently.
“My surname is Pan, and my name is Dafu. You can call me Dafu.”
He was tall, fair, fat, and round, and he was wearing light-colored clothes. He looked like a real-life version of the Disney Character, Big White.
Yu Niaoniao said, “I want to buy something, but I can’t go out for the time being. Please find someone to help me.”
