"Third Girl, you haven't dealt with Yang Dachui before. You don't know his temper, so not many people can handle it. However, he has to …"

"Alright, Aunt Qingwang. I'll endure it. It's just a meal. It'll be over in the blink of an eye. "Where's the stove? Take me there, Aunt Qingwang."

Yao Cailing thought for a moment, then nodded her head as if she had made up her mind. "Alright, sister-in-law will lead you there. If you find it unbearable, just tell her to find someone to replace you."

Yao Cailing brought Maicao to the stove.

Although it was called a stove, it was actually just a makeshift chopping board. Two large pots were placed next to it, and two people were sitting there lighting a fire while a few women beside them were busy washing vegetables and washing dishes.

A fat man of about fifty, dark-skinned, fierce-faced, and wearing an oily shirt, lay squinting on a chaise longue next to the chopping board, puffing on a cigarette that had drifted to the washed dishes on the chopping board, but he continued to smoke as if nothing had happened.

This is that Yang Dachui? With his sloppy appearance, would someone eat the dishes he cooked?

As soon as they met, Maicao felt slightly disgusted with this person in her heart.

"Master Yang, this is Maicao. She's helping you out on the stove today, so if you have anything you need her to do, just tell her to do it." Yao Cailing stood in front of Yang Dachui and said respectfully.

Yang Dachui opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Maicao. He did not say anything but only made a noise in his nose.

Yao Cailing said a few more words of warning to Maicao before leaving to busy herself with other matters.

"Master Yang, please instruct me what you want me to do now." Maicao suppressed the disgust in her heart and asked Yang Dachui with a smile.

"Cut the washed vegetables."

"Alright." Maicao agreed and went to wash her hands. Then, she picked up the dishes that had already been washed and started to cut them.

As Maicao made her move, Yang Dachui, who was resting with his eyes closed, looked at Maicao. Then, he stood up and walked to the chopping board. He grabbed a piece of potato shredded by Maicao and looked at it before snorting, "Yo, you've practiced it before?"

"No, it's just that I've cut a lot. Familiarity makes perfect. Hehe."

Yang Dachui snorted in disdain, "I knew it. What can a girl know?" After Yang Dachui said that, he turned around and sat down on the reclining chair.

Yang Dachui's words made Maicao extremely uncomfortable. However, he was the chef hired by the family, so she didn't want to have any conflicts with him. Therefore, Maicao endured it and continued cutting the vegetables.

However, what happened next wasn't so easy for Maicao.

Because in the process of cutting vegetables, Yang Dachui was very picky. Sometimes he would say that Maicao's shredded potatoes were too thin, and sometimes he would say that Maicao's eggplant was too big.

He had just ordered Maicao to cut the radish into small pieces, but when Maicao did as he was told, he suddenly criticized her for taking the initiative to cut the radish into pieces, even though he had clearly said that he wanted the radish shredded.

Maicao finally knew why those women didn't want to help on the stove. This Yang Dachui wasn't a chef, he was simply invited by the ancestors. If she served him well, she would attract his attention.

Maicao thought that today was Wu Tie's happy day and there was no need to go against such a bored person, so she automatically filtered Yang Dachui's unpleasant words. She just wanted to finish what she needed to do and stay far away from him, so she wouldn't be annoyed if she couldn't see him.

Maicao cut all the washed dishes into a bowl, and the meat was cut into pieces according to Yang Dachui's instructions. The meat was cut into pieces, the silk was cut into pieces, and the two chickens were sliced into pieces.

After she was done, Maicao put down the knife in her hand. She turned around and asked Yang Dachui, "Master Yang, we've already packed up. When are you going to fire them?"

"What's the rush?" Yang Dachui glanced at Maicao and finished smoking. He spat a few mouthfuls of thick sputum onto the ground, and probably feeling a little itchy in his nose, he blew it again with his hand, shook his nose on the ground and wiped his hands on his clothes. Then he stood up and walked to the counter to grab a big spoon of fried vegetables.

When Yang Dachui spat on the ground, Maicao was disgusted. Now that he had blown his nose and was about to cook without washing his hands, she couldn't take it anymore and opened her mouth to remind him, "Master Yang, shouldn't you wash your hands first before cooking?"

Yang Dachui threw the spoon on the chopping board, "Hey, take care of me."

"Master Yang, it's not that I want to control you, but this dish is definitely imported. Wouldn't it be safer to eat it cleanly?"

"Hey, you said I'm not clean? When did you see me dirty? I, Yang Dachui, have already cooked for more than ten years in these eight villages, and no one has ever thought that I'm unclean before. Today, I've been disliked by a girl like you.

"If you have something to say, then say it. Why did you start scolding people?" You're already so old, how can you be so disrespectful for your age? Say, when did I see you unclean? I saw you unclean with both eyes.

You've been smoking since I got here, and you don't care about the ashes floating on the dish. I won't talk about you anymore, but you've already blown your nose, and you didn't even wash your hands before you came to cook. Are you trying to make everyone eat your nose? You don't find it disgusting, but others do. "

Maicao was truly infuriated by Yang Dachui. Once her temper rose, she didn't care what kind of situation this was anymore as she angrily shouted at Yang Dachui.

Seeing that he had been exposed by Maicao in front of so many people, Yang Dachui immediately became angry. His big fat hands slapped the chopping board and pointed at Maicao's nose as he scolded: "I have such a habit of yours, so what, you don't like it, do you? Since you invited me here, then just follow my habit. Call your parents over here, I want to argue with her.

The surrounding people saw that Yang Dachui's words were getting worse and worse, so they quickly went up to persuade him: "Master Yang, she's just a young girl, and still young and inexperienced. Master Yang, please don't lower yourself to her level."

"I'll lower myself to her? If I were to lower myself to her level, I would have slapped her in the face long ago.

Other women came up to try to pull Maicao away. Maicao was so angry that her head was spinning from Yang Dachui's vulgar words. She had never heard such dirty words from Yang Dachui. Not only did they scold her, but even her parents scolded him.

"Aren't you just a cook? [What's there to be so arrogant about? The person who invited you here paid you to cook for him, so why are you doing this to him?!] What are you talking about?! I can't leave you?! "

"You dislike me? Heh, I'm fine with it. Are you looking down on me? Leaving me, right? "Alright then, I don't want to serve you anymore."

After Yang Dachui said this, he took off the apron that he had just wrapped around him, rolled it into a ball, and threw it on the chopping board. Then, he left in a huff.

Han Qingwang and Yao Cailing had already received the news and rushed over. Seeing that Yang Dachui was about to leave, they were extremely anxious and hurried over to stop him from speaking any good words.

"Master Yang, I was in the wrong today. I arranged for Maicao to help you. This girl has a short temper, please don't lower yourself to her level. After all, she is still a child, right? Master Yang, you have a lot of seniority, but in terms of seniority, you are still her senior.

After Yao Cailing said that, she turned to Maicao and said, "Third Girl, Master Yang is your elder, how can you be so rude to your elder? Why aren't you coming over to apologize to Master Yang? "

"Don't, I can't accept her gift. My wife, it's not that I'm not giving you face today, it's just that I'm so angry that I'm muddled. At this moment, my mind is completely muddled. "I think this girl is a capable person as well. I'll let her cook the dishes for us today."

After Yang Dachui said this, he ignored the crowd and walked away.

Seeing that Yang Dachui had left, Yao Cailing was so anxious that she pounded her chest and stomped her feet, "Oh, this guy's coming over to eat dinner soon. What should I do? I can't find another teacher for the time being. Third Girl, ah, Third Girl, you've troubled your sister-in-law!"

Han Qingwang was anxious as well. However, he was a man after all. He quickly calmed down and gathered the people from his sect to discuss the countermeasures.

Maicao was really confused. Yang Dachui was just a cook after all. Looking at the dishes he prepared, they were not the whole restaurant. If a normal person couldn't cook, he would be the only one.

His dishes were just common household dishes. Maicao felt that she could cook them for any housewife, but these people, seeing that Yang Dachui had left, how could they act as if the sky was falling down?

However, this matter was caused by him after all. He couldn't be like Yang Dachui, leaving behind such a mess and leaving just like that.

"Aunt Qingwang, it's fine if he leaves. It's no big deal. I'll burn him."

Soon after, she said with a wry smile, "Third Girl, stop messing up your sister-in-law. Today's matter, it's your fault that sister-in-law wasn't considerate enough and sent a little girl like you to help the kitchen. With things having come to this point, don't say anything else, I'll quickly tell Fourth Brother to go find Yang Dachui, say a few good words to him and beg him again."

"Aunt Qingwang, it's just cooking. Why do you have to make him look like a big boss? Don't worry, I'll cook for you if I say so. My cooking definitely isn't worse than his."

"Third Girl, you haven't woken up yet, right? You can even cook these dishes?" A woman beside him quickly voiced out the doubts in the big guy's mind.

Maicao became even more confused. In the past, in order to let her father eat better, she had gone to apply for a cooking class. The ingredients she came across in the cooking class were much more advanced than this.

Before Maicao could reply, Yao Cailing became a little angry, "Third Girl, sister-in-law is in the wrong regarding this matter. I thought sister-in-law had already apologized to you, so you don't need your help anymore. You should hurry back home and burn those cigarette boxes of yours. Sister-in-law wouldn't dare to delay your earning money."

Yao Cailing then called out to Han Qingwang loudly, "Qing Wang, hurry up and bring two boxes of good cigarettes to Yang Dachui's house. Say some good words and invite him over!"

"Aunt Qingwang, why don't you believe me?" Maicao's stubborn temper rose as she stepped forward and grabbed Yao Cailing.
