The master looked at me and said, "Didn't I say it before?" I killed a man in the intensive care unit, and this person was my master. ”

"Master's master? Is it the ancestor? I said.

"That's why I came to France." The master said and took out his wallet from the back pocket of his pants and slowly opened it.

On the front of the wallet is a photograph of an old man and a young man holding a trophy together.

The master pointed to the younger one and said, "This is who I was back then." ”

"It turns out that the master was so handsome when he was young, and the other one is the ancestor, right?" I said.

The master nodded his head and said, "I don't need you to say whether I'm handsome or not, this is the first time I've won an award." I was eighteen years old, and we didn't read much in those days. I came out looking for a job at the age of fourteen, and many came out before me. I was my master's apprentice like everyone else, and my master's favorite was me. Privately, I would pass on some private work, if it weren't for that, maybe I would be just a cook in ten or twenty years. ”

The master said and pulled out the photos, which were followed by a photo. It appears to be a headshot of a group photo, with twelve people sitting around looking at the camera. The photograph is already a little yellowed, but the twelve people in the photograph are very young and posing for themselves. And the master in this photo is much younger than when he won the award.

"The first one is me, and the other eleven are the apprentices who came in the same batch." The master said.

"I used to have so many uncles and uncles." I said, looking at the photo.

"Cantonese cuisine is a big sect, but in this batch there is a decent one for me." The master said.

"Only one of those people?" I look at the other people in the photo, and they don't look like losers.

"Which industry has gone to the extreme, not thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge? These brothers and sisters of mine have become my stepping stones, and the sparring has accompanied me to the top. Actually, I've always regretted it now, if only I hadn't been that good back then. Maybe that wouldn't have happened, and my master wouldn't have been in the intensive care unit. The master said, tears streaming down his face.

I took a sip of red wine and felt very uncomfortable.

The master adjusted, wiped away his tears again, and said, "Don't cry, let's talk about things." At the age of fourteen, I entered the Wanhe Hotel as an apprentice. I have made rapid progress, and I have won the Cantonese cuisine championship in Guangzhou on behalf of the chef in four years. It was actually an accident, and the timing of the race that day happened to coincide with the big day of the daughter of the local coal boss. And this coal boss is a frequent visitor to the hotel, and he specified that my master should be in charge. My master had no choice but to sit in the hotel and asked me to go to the game by name. As a result, he became famous and won back the championship of Cantonese cuisine. ”

"Isn't it good to be famous at a young age?" I said.

"Actually, I also knew that the master was selfish at that time, and first of all, he really couldn't do without it. Secondly, if you let the chefs with him go to the competition, it doesn't matter if you lose. If you win a championship, the master's position may not be guaranteed. The master said.

I nodded my head when I heard the master's meaning, and it was safest to let my apprentice go if I couldn't go by myself. If you lose, you can say that the apprentice has no intention of learning and humiliating the master, and if you win, you can say that you teach well.

"After having this foundation, I naturally became the master's deputy, which is a right that the helpers who have been with the master for more than ten years can't get. And the master will let me come to the games that he can't go to after that. Slowly, I became the second-in-command of the hotel, and so many trophies were obtained in the next 20 years. At worst, these trophies are local championship trophies in Guangzhou, not to mention those in the country. The master said that the tears were suppressed here, and he was still a little proud.
