Lao Tan sat on the chair in front, while Hua Qing, Li Shuang, and Xiao Gao stood in front of them.
The moment the three people knelt down and kowtowed, Lao Tan's eyes became moist.
From then on, he will become the master of others, starting to preach, teach, and resolve doubts.
At this time, he was happy and excited. From his trembling hands when he helped the three disciples up, he could see the excitement in his heart.
He smiled without wiping the tears from his face. He took out the prepared red envelopes from his pocket and handed them out to his apprentices one by one.
"Master, there are still red envelopes." Li Shuang said happily.
"Yes, your wife gave it to me. She was busy and couldn't come."
"Thank you, Mistress."
After giving out the red envelope, Zhang Li handed Lao Tan a tissue and Lao Tan wiped the tears from his face.
When he wiped his tears, the three apprentices also cried, especially Li Shuang, whose tears fell like broken beads, making Zhang Li's eyes become wet.
At this time, Yanhua, Yanzi, Zhou Xiaomei, and Wang Hong's eyes were all wet------
I have no intention to criticize those cooks who rely on their fame and prestige to make money by recruiting apprentices. One thing is undeniable. Looking at the entire provincial capital, the apprenticeship ceremony is so touching today.
Become a disciple and accept a disciple sincerely, without any personal interests involved.
Very pure.
"Aren't you going to say a few words to the disciples?" Zhang Li asked Lao Tan.
"Say, say, I must say ------" Lao Tan's voice was trembling.
He slowed down for a moment, looked at the three apprentices in front of him, and said.
"When you enter the school, Master will tell you three things. First, study hard, practice hard, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, be a low-key person, and do things with a high-profile. The strength of skill is to be a person, and the shortcoming of skill is to suppress people. Remember this.
The most important thing in being a human being is filial piety. Honor your parents at home and unite with your colleagues outside. Be a good person, be a good person, and be moral first.
Do not accept disciples if you are under forty, and do not mislead others."
The three apprentices bowed their heads and accepted the instruction.
After the apprenticeship was completed, Hua Qing, Li Shuang, and Xiao Gao left. As soon as Lao Tan got up from his chair, he saw Zhou Xiaomei and Wang Gang approaching.
The two of them stood in front of Lao Tan, and Zhou Xiaomei said: "Uncle, you brought me here. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Even though I knew you were my master, you wouldn't accept me, but I always regard you as my master in my heart."
Waiting for it to be done. I will take the opportunity of you to accept a disciple today to express your feelings."
"Master Tan, although we are buddies, you are my teacher. We have no other intentions. From Xiaomei's point of view, you are the elder, so we will give you a kiss."
After Wang Gang finished speaking, he and Zhou Xiaomei knelt down together and kowtowed respectfully before Lao Tan could react.
Lao Tan hurriedly helped the two of them up, his speechless eyes filled with tears.
"Uncle, don't cry, I'm happy." Zhou Xiaomei wiped away Lao Tan's tears and said excitedly.
"Don't cry, uncle is happy." Lao Tan said.
"Congratulations on having three good apprentices."
"Uh-huh------"
To be honest, the description may not be accurate, but the scene is indeed touching. Nothing is more touching and touching than the gratitude and true feelings in the world.
True love is the most beautiful in the world.
"Looking at you two, it makes me cry-------Okay, hurry up and get down, it's time for my apprentice to make a toast in a while." Zhang Li said.
Zhou Xiaomei and Wang Gang went down laughing.
"It's our turn." Wang Hong stood up and said loudly, and Fang Jianjun stood up with her.
"You two, please calm down." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Wang Hong ignored what Zhang Li said and went straight to Lao Tan with Fang Jianjun.
"Lao Tan, I'm happy that you accepted your apprentice. To be honest, Lao Fang and I were taught this craft by you, and we have considered you our master for a long time. You don't want to accept one either, so I'll take this opportunity to express my gratitude today."
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she shouted to Meng Meng and Xiaolong who were sitting below: "Come up and kowtow to Master."
A total of seven people, Xiaolong, Meng Meng, Xiaohui, the cold dish and dumpling chef from the Huangshan store, and the little boy and girl who were now working with Wang Hong and Fang Jianjun, walked to the stage and stood in a row.
"Your master and I were both taught by Master Tan. We are his apprentices. You are our apprentices, and he is your master. Hurry up and kowtow!" Wang Hong said to the seven people.
The seven people knelt down in unison, and the sound of kowtowing could be heard clearly in the entire hall.
Lao Tan was a little confused and caught off guard. He was obviously recruiting disciples, but it was good that he even had disciples and grandsons.
I quickly took out the red envelope as a meeting gift and was very excited.
The hall suddenly burst into warm applause------
The road depends on people, and everything depends on people.
People, whenever you have to take the right path and do the right thing, don't be ashamed of your conscience. Whenever you behave upright, you will have a straight back and be respected by others.
We can be ordinary people in life, but in terms of the standards of life, we need to be noble like big shots and successful people, because we are not lowly in the first place.
In today's society, speaking of being noble is as ridiculed as speaking of learning, and is considered stupid and heartless.
What does it mean to be thoughtful?
Cunning? Cheating? Selfish?
The kindness and enthusiasm that people are ashamed of and buried deep in people's hearts exist, but they are blocked by materialistic desires that blind people. Many people have noble thoughts in their hearts, but are unwilling to do it. They hope that others will do it.
But he said it was cool.
When this ubiquitous gloomy mentality is swept away by the bright sunshine one day, the society we live in will be harmonious, friendly, and beautiful.
After accepting the apprentice and spending another two days arranging things in the provincial capital, Lao Tan and Yanzi were ready to set off for Hohhot.
The day before leaving, Zhang Li and Lao Tan had a meal alone.
Zhang Li was indeed very angry because Lao Tan was injured and was not informed in time, but she has almost calmed down her anger in the past few days.
It is undeniable that Zhang Li is deeply in love with Lao Tan. This love arose while working at the Blue House and continues to this day.
It was the budding period of love at the Blue House. Lao Tan attracted Zhang Li's attention with his terrifying professionalism and hard-working attitude, and then he admired him. As the contact deepened, he was attracted to his personality and gradually developed a love.
Admiration.
Unfortunately, Lao Tan already has Lin Yan and keeps away from other women.
After experiencing the cooperation between Linjiangxuan and Laogen Villa, Zhang Li's love for Lao Tan deepened, but this love did not bear fruit.
The marriage between Lao Tan and Lin Yan made her extremely miserable. She pointed at her heart and said to Lao Tan: "Old Tan, you know, I feel pain, pain------"
Seeing the pain of a woman who loves him deeply, but being unable to do anything about it, is a punishment for a man. That punishment comes from the depths of the soul and is a kind of purgatory torture of conscience.
When Lao Tan left Fuxin, Zhang Li thought he was avoiding her. This was not true. Lao Tan had to make money to support his family because he had a lovely son.
It took six years from Fuxin to Binhai. During these six years, Zhang Li found her love and got married. But her marriage was unfortunate and only lasted two years.
Lao Tan returned to the provincial capital from Binhai, and fate brought the two of them together again - to cooperate with the Guandong people.
After experiencing the baptism of marriage and life, and the long and short years of development, both of them have matured. One is no longer a reckless young man, and the other is no longer a passionate girl.
I have learned to protect and hide my feelings, and my face is calm and calm.
Zhang Li still loves Lao Tan, deeply and deeply.
This love is quietly changing. In the love between men and women, there is an indescribable family affection, and a sense of family that has been accumulated by old friends for many years and has gone beyond friendship.
The two of them were no longer unnatural when they were together, no longer what people imagined. To Lao Tan, she looked like Lin Yan and a sister. To her, she felt that Lao Tan was both her man and her younger brother.
In the past, when facing Lao Tan, I had to use my reason to control it, but now I don't need to control it, it's natural, and I even feel that even sleeping with him is normal.
Of course, it's impossible to sleep together. If you go to bed early, you still have to wait more than ten years.
"When will you come back?" Zhang Li asked.
"No matter what, we have to finish the business," Lao Tan said.
“It will take some time to straighten things out after we open the business.”
"Um."
"You are so beautiful. You have someone to take care of you when you go to Hohhot, and you are your first love." Zhang Li said jealously.
"Don't talk nonsense, nothing happened to us." Lao Tan said.
"Who believes it? What kind of thing can a beautiful woman do with you? Are you fooling someone?"
"If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do about it."
Lao Tan took a sip of wine.
"If you don't bring an honest person, Hohhot is so far away from home, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one can control it," Zhang Li said.
"Haha, do you think I dare? How many pairs of eyes are watching."
"Looking at how good it can be, who would dare not to give in?"
"You--"
Lao Tan was speechless.
Zhang Li smiled.
"Let me tell you something." Zhang Li suddenly whispered mysteriously.
"What's the matter?"
"I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I can give birth. There's nothing wrong with it. People older than me can still give birth."
When Lao Tan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You still have to go to the hospital for a check-up. Your health is already good. You can give birth, but who are you going to give birth to? There's not even a man."
"If I have a baby with you, you are not a man!" Zhang Li said angrily.
Lao Tan laughed and said, "You really need to find someone. You can't live on your own. You're fine now. What if you get old? You have to have a companion by your side."
"Hey——" Zhang Li sighed and said: "You think I don't want to find you? It's hard to find me. If you're not good enough, you won't be able to find me. The older ones don't like me, and the younger ones don't want me." said
Wan looked at Lao Tan and continued: "I don't have a child yet, it's okay to have a child------"
"I advise you to find someone, don't ask for too much, just be an aircraft factory employee." Lao Tan said, "Your conditions are not bad, you have a house, you are beautiful, and you can make money."
"Hey, I'm old, so you can say that I'm pretty. I'm an aunt compared to the little girl, and I have gray hair."
Lao Tan looked at Zhang Li carefully, looking up and down, lingering on the waves on her chest for a while, and then said: "Not old, just right, mature and attractive."
