Chapter 1212 - Picked up a few junior brothers

"You're really calling me Junior Brother?" Yuan Zhou felt quite happy in the heart and then asked with a serious look.

"When they have your abilities, you won't have to call them." Carpenter Lian snorted and said directly.

"Then I'll do as Master says." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't say anything more.

"Ta ta ta". Even though Carpenter Lian had urged them, the two of them were actually walking at a steady pace. They even chatted frequently.

Of course, they were all talking about their understanding of woodworking. Carpenter Lian was willing to teach while Yuan Zhou was learning earnestly. Naturally, the atmosphere was very good.

When they were about to reach the central courtyard, Carpenter Lian suddenly said,""Little Yuan, I can see that the woodwork you do is very strict and perfect, right?"

"Yes, I am." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"This perfection is also full. Little Yuan, you have to think carefully about the logic that if the month is full, you will lose money." Carpenter Lian didn't wait for Yuan Zhou's answer and continued,""Sometimes, you don't have to do this kind of work so perfectly."

"It's fine, I can make up for my losses. " Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.

"You little brat." Carpenter Lian turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhou's expression. He could only shake his head and sigh.

From the conversation just now, it could be seen that Yuan Zhou was a stubborn person at times. For example, the carpentry work that Yuan Zhou did just now was perfect in both the material selection and the carving of the fine parts.

However, it was not necessarily a good thing to be so full of himself. After all, it was an eternal principle that had never changed.

As Yuan Zhou was still young, Carpenter Lian wanted to persuade him. However, when he saw how confident Yuan Zhou was, he didn't say much.

However, Carpenter Lian just wanted to take a closer look at Yuan Zhou in the future.

As they were talking, the two of them entered the middle courtyard. Carpenter Lian said loudly,""Let go of all the work in your hands. If there's anything, say it."

Carpenter Lian was never a person who liked to smile. He was usually very serious and had a bad temper. Today, he was particularly gentle when he spoke. The apprentices and apprentices in the courtyard could not help but tremble when they heard him. They had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

The seven or eight people in the courtyard subconsciously tensed up and felt their scalps tingle. They had no choice but to acknowledge Carpenter Lian's temper.

"Please tell me, master." The person who spoke was a tall and strong middle-aged man. He put down the wood in his hand and said with a serious expression.

This man was obviously the one who went to Yuan Zhou's restaurant to measure cabinet with Carpenter Lian last time and was eventually punished.

"Ma Xiao, come here." Carpenter Lian said directly.

"Alright, master." The middle-aged man who was called by his name immediately walked to Yuan Zhou and Carpenter Lian.

"This is my new apprentice, Yuan Zhou." Carpenter Lian and the others walked to the front of the group and introduced them loudly without any nonsense.

"Aren't you a chef?" Ma Xiao couldn't help blurting out while looking at Yuan Zhou.

Ma Xiao couldn't be blamed for being surprised. Ever since he was punished last time, he had always felt a knot in his heart. Thus, he would pay attention to Yuan Zhou from time to time. Yuan Zhou was really too famous and had too many reports. However, the more he read, the more he admired him.

Ma Xiao knew that Yuan Zhou was very famous in the cooking world. There was even an issue of an article that specially wrote about how hardworking Yuan Zhou was.

As the owner of a self-made furniture factory, Ma Xiao knew better than anyone else how hard he had to work, so his little resentment had long disappeared.

However, when he heard Carpenter Lian's words, he was still shocked and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I'm a chef." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"No way? Isn't Yuan Zhou that famous chef?"

"Isn't that so? why did master suddenly take him in as a disciple?"

"Is boss Yuan going to change his profession?"

"That can't be. I know how good the business of that shop is. How can it be?"

The moment they heard the news from Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao, the people who thought Yuan Zhou looked familiar immediately recalled that he was the famous chef from Sichuan Province. The people in the courtyard immediately started discussing.

"Be quiet." Carpenter Lian shouted.

Carpenter Lian wasn't as kind to his apprentices as he was to Yuan Zhou. He directly shouted at them with an unfriendly expression. His shout immediately silenced the courtyard.

"Why do you care if he's a famous chef or not? right now, I only know that his skills are better than yours, you idiots." Carpenter Lian said without any trace of politeness.

"So I tell you, all of you must call Yuan Zhou senior brother." Carpenter Lian turned around and looked at everyone.

"That can't be. I'm someone who's been through six years, after all."

"Isn't master a little biased?"

"Exactly. I'm a famous chef, but you can't possibly be better at carpentry than me."

"You don't have to worry about master's business. However, I don't believe that this chef is better than us carpenters."

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't believe it."

The originally quiet courtyard became lively again after hearing Carpenter Lian's words.

Ma Xiao, on the other hand, remained silent for a while. He raised his head, looked at Carpenter Lian's expression, and then at Yuan Zhou before asking carefully,""You're learning carpentry again?"

Those who paid attention to Yuan Zhou naturally knew that Yuan Zhou had once defeated the master of ice sculpting, yang Shuxin. At that time, no one thought that Yuan Zhou, as a chef, would win. But he did.

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou's multi-talented nature was not just for show. It was all real. Therefore, Ma Xiao was quite suspicious.

"I've been thinking about making my own utensils recently. " Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said modestly.

"Senior brother." Ma Xiao immediately shouted.

"Humph. You're so quick to act. But your craftsmanship is better than Yuan Zhou 's." Carpenter Lian's face relaxed and he snorted.

"Thank you for your praise, master." Ma Xiao immediately laughed.

"What's there to be happy about? Yuan Zhou has only been learning for a few months. You've been learning for seven years and you're only a little better than him. " Carpenter Lian immediately poured cold water on him.

Ma Xiao choked instantly. Yuan Zhou just smiled lightly at the side and didn't interrupt.

"I know you frisky monkeys aren't convinced, so come and take a look at the wooden bowls and decorations that he casually made." After scolding Ma Xiao, Carpenter Lian took the wooden box from Yuan Zhou's hand and directly called someone over to take a look.

The Carpenters in this courtyard had at least seven to eight years of experience. From the wooden bowls and decorations made by Yuan Zhou, they could naturally tell his skills.

The people who had finished watching all fell silent and did not speak.

However, the way everyone looked at Yuan Zhou was very strange, as if Yuan Zhou had several heads and eight hands chopped off.

"It's frustrating to compare with others. Look at you guys. I've been teaching you guys diligently, but look at you now." Carpenter Lian started cursing again.

All the men who were at least 30 years old were so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads, except for Ma Xiao, who had been standing there since the beginning, and Yuan Zhou, who had never been scolded by Carpenter Lian.

Ma Xiao revealed a helpless expression to Yuan Zhou and then shrugged.

Yuan Zhou also shook his head with a smile to express his helplessness.

By the time Carpenter Lian finally finished reprimanding him, 20 minutes had passed.

"Master, I still need to open the restaurant tonight. As for the apprenticeship banquet ..." Seeing Carpenter Lian stop, Yuan Zhou immediately went up and said. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Carpenter Lian.

"Don't worry about the apprenticeship banquet. Just do as I say. I'll send the invitation and you can cook for me." Carpenter Lian said.

"Thank you, master." Yuan Zhou bent over and thanked him earnestly.

"Alright, let's go. Ma Xiao will send your senior back." Carpenter Lian waved his hand impatiently. At the same time, he turned to Ma Xiao.
