In Fang Yizhi's opinion, although Ivan is younger than him, his knowledge is much broader, or richer than anyone he has come into contact with.

As the saying goes, there is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher, which made him really moved his heart to apprentice.

Apprenticeship is really nothing in this era.

Take Fang Yizhi as an example, his poetry was taught by his aunt Fang Weiyi, the history of the Cifu scriptures was taught by the famous scholar Bai Yu, medicine was taught by the famous doctor Fu Haifeng, and the famous object exhortation was taught by the famous scholar Wang Xuanjiao......

He had so many teachers that he didn't care about Ivan at all.

The most important thing is that Ivan understands Western knowledge, and it is difficult for Fang Yizhi to find a second such teacher in Daming, even the Western priest he is familiar with.

But this proposal was completely unacceptable to Ivan.

He came to do the task, not to collect disciples.

Besides, if he accepts such a difficult apprentice, he will have a big head.

"Don't make a fuss, let's be friends. ”

Fang Yizhi did not do it.

If it was just a friend, Ivan was not obligated to impart Western knowledge to him, and at most he would have exchanged ideas when he had the opportunity.

But the master-apprentice relationship is different.

Once the master-apprentice relationship is established, he will be able to justifiably pester Ivan to learn things.

As for the apprenticeship, it is not a problem at all in terms of his family background, and it is a big deal to make up for it later.

So he knelt down and began to kowtow: "Please accept the disciple from the teacher." ”

This really embarrassed Ivan.

He took this guy here.

He also began to understand why Fang became a famous thinker, philosopher, and scientist in the late Ming Dynasty with intelligence. This guy's thirst for knowledge is too urgent.

It's almost nonsense.

"Stop making a fuss, get up. ”

"I don't, teacher, if you don't agree, I won't get up. ”

......

The situation was immediately deadlocked.

Just when Ivan had a headache, Wu's mother hurriedly walked into Wanlou with a cook.

Mother Wu was immediately taken aback again.

Wow, what's going on?

The famous Fang Gongzi actually wants to worship Yi Gongzi as a teacher?

She was stunned and a little overwhelmed.

Ivan frowned.

This difficult guy is really not ordinary, and it gives him a headache.

"Forget it, you get up first, and we'll talk about this later. ”

In order to get the money done first, his tone loosened a little.

"Mr. Xie. ”

Fang Yizhi stood up with a wit.

Ivan: "......"

Did I say yes?

Don't bring such scoundrels!

Ivan shook his head and turned to Wu's mother, who was a little at a loss: "Did you bring the silver? Give it to Xiaowan." ”

According to the principle of the transaction, it should be delivered first and pay later to ensure the authenticity of the goods, but Ivan overturned this concept.

It's called having no fear.

Now that Fang Yizhi is present, he can put this score.

Mother Wu immediately nodded and glanced at the cook standing on the side.

The cook immediately handed over a small heavy box.

With so much silver, it is natural that it cannot really be settled with silver, but with gold.

Even if it is gold, it weighs 100 taels, according to the concept of one tael in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to about 400 grams in later generations, which is equivalent to eight catties, so even if it is an adult man, he has to hold it with both hands.

After taking over this heavy box, Dong Xiaowan was a little surprised.

With tears in her eyes, she opened the box, and inside lay five ingots of 20 taels of gold, and some silver.

The silver should be the share of the steamed buns sold last night and this morning.

It's not that Dong Xiaowan hasn't seen so much money, but that was before the family fell in the middle of the road.

Since her family fell into the middle of the road, she has been worrying about money every day, but now that a lot of money is suddenly in front of her, how can she not be surprised?

She looked at Ivan with a look of gratitude.

But Ivan's mind was not on her at all, he turned around and walked to Wanlou's small kitchen: "Come with me." ”

He's about to start teaching how to make squirrel fish.

If you get the money, you have to work.

But how to teach?

This made Ivan struggle a little.

If you follow the secret recipe that has been identified, the taste in the early stage will definitely be sacrificed a little.

If he taught according to his own improved recipe, Ivan was a little reluctant, after all, the taste of the improved recipe was a notch higher than Chef Zheng's recipe.

Let's sum it up.

"Xiao Wan, you take a piece of paper and note down the recipe. ”

To teach the practice of squirrel fish, it is natural to teach the preparation of pickled fish sauce first, which is not enough to teach, and there must be a complete record of the proportion of auxiliary ingredients.

For him, traditional Chinese characters and brush characters can be a problem.

"Master, I'm coming. ”

Fang Yizhi took the paper and pen from Dong Xiaowan's hand.

Ivan shook his head helplessly.

He can finally see that Fang Yizhi, a difficult guy, can really do anything for the knowledge he wants.

This made him a little admired.

He thought to himself, no wonder this difficult guy can become a famous thinker, philosopher, and scientist in the Ming Dynasty, just with his shameless spirit for knowledge, it is indeed worthy of admiration and learning.

Shouldn't you learn from him in this regard?

Isn't it that the reason why China in later generations lacked real masters was because most people lacked the spirit of real craftsmen?

Diligent and inquisitive should be regarded as a very important part of the spirit of craftsmanship, right?

He gathered his mood and began to report the ingredients and order of addition to the marinade according to the secret recipe.

After reporting and confirming that it was correct, he handed over the recipe to the cook brought by Wu's mother: "Come, make it yourself according to the recipe recorded, and I will instruct you." ”

It's all he can think of as a teaching method.

Whether you can master it quickly and let the other party make it by hand is the safest.

But the problem soon came again.

According to his modified recipe, the new marinade naturally had to be heated over fire, and although Ivan did not intend to use a thermometer or leak the exact pasteurization temperature, the heating process was necessary.

You have to use fire!

Ivan was too lazy to use the coal stove and used the liquefied gas stove directly.

Anyway, this thing will be used in Xiaowan's private dishes in the future, and it can't be hidden.

Because in Ivan's concept, this is a virtual copy of the mission, and there are some things that he doesn't bother to hide.

But the problem really comes.

When he lit the liquefied gas stove on the ground, and when the blue flames came out, he suddenly found that Fang Yizhi's eyes were straight again, revealing a fanatical expression.

Oops, forgetting for a moment that there is still this inquisitive maniac.

Fang Yizhi is not so easy to dismiss as Dong Xiaowan!

Sure enough, Fang Yizhi immediately spoke again: "Teacher, this is ......"

"Shut up and explain to you later. ”

Ivan immediately interrupted him.

He didn't want to explain this rarity in front of Wu's mother and the cook.
