Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed.

What made Gao Dian a little depressed was that he had planned to accept students, but so far, none of them took the initiative to come.

It's been so long.

He really wasn't panicked, after all, this was what he planned to do for the rest of his life, he was still very young, only in his twenties, and the days ahead were still very long.

But for such a long time, there was not a single student, which couldn't help but make Gao Dian feel a little depressed, making him think that his level was not enough? Or is your reputation not enough?

Gao Dian decided to talk to Senior Brother Du Dawei, maybe he could give him some advice.

As for why he was looking for Du Dawei, it was because Gao Dian and Du Dawei had a good relationship.

Temporarily handed over the matter of Dianxin Building to Wei Qiaoyi, Gao Dian came to the Appreciation Building to find Du Dawei.

It is relatively easy for him to enter the back kitchen of the Appreciation Building, and the back kitchen chef basically knows him.

Knowing that Gao Dian had arrived, Du Dawei came out to greet him.

"Xiao Gao, why do you have time to come over today?" Du Dawei said with a smile.

He didn't call him junior brother, because he already knew that Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi were together.

Since the two of them are together, it is a little inappropriate for him to call Gao Dian Senior Brother again, and the generations are chaotic.

Many people don't care about this kind of generation, but if they meet a more serious one, it will not be good for the reputation of the two.

"I'm here to find you." Gao Dian said.

He didn't call him a senior brother, not because he was estranged, but because of seniority.

He is not an apprentice of the teacher, just a student, and it is okay to call him or not.

"Come to me?" Du Dawei was a little surprised.

"What are you coming to me for?" Du Dawei then asked.

"That's right, I have some doubts, and I'm looking for you to solve my doubts." Gao Dian said.

Du Dawei said: "Let's go, let's go to the office and talk." ”

Gao Dian answered, he didn't want to talk about this in this place.

As Du Dawei came to his office, the two sat down separately. It's not the first time Gao Dian has come here, so he is very familiar with it, so he found a place to sit very casually.

Du Dawei poured Gao Dian a cup of tea, and Gao Dian got up to take it.

Subsequently, Du Dawei asked: "Tell me, what are the doubts?" ”

Gao Dian pondered for a moment, organizing words in his mind.

"Some time ago, I was going to take in students, you know, right?" Gao Dian asked.

Hearing this, Du Dawei nodded, He naturally knew about this matter.

At that time, Gao Dian specially asked him for help for publicity, and he didn't know where he could be.

"During this time, I wondered if I had made a mistake in accepting students, and for so long, not a single student had received it." Gao Dian said.

"You didn't receive any of your students?" Du Dawei was slightly surprised.

In fact, as long as you say that you accept students, there should be a lot of people who come to apprentice, and it is impossible for a single student not to receive it.

He is the top pastry chef in China, and even in the world, he is considered the top.

Huaguo itself is a big country of food, and its cuisine enjoys a good reputation in the world, and Chinese cuisine has a long history and a long history, some even have a history of thousands of years.

In addition, the land is vast and the food is varied.

A chef who can be at the top in China will definitely be the best in the world.

At the level of Gao Dian, there is no reason why you can't accept students!

"Did you have someone who didn't take it? The vision is so good, huh? Du Dawei asked.

Gao Dian smiled bitterly: "I want to have a higher horizon, but really no one came." ”

"This ......," Du Dawei thought with a frown.

He brought himself into some people, and the people he knew best were his own contemporaries.

He looked at Gao Dian's slightly immature face, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he seemed to understand something.

Gao Dian kept looking at Du Dawei, wanting to know some reasons from him.

Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable for a student to receive it for so long.

Looking at the sudden expression on Du Dawei's face, Gao Dian hurriedly asked, "Did you think of something?" ”

Du Dawei said: "I did think of some possible reasons. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What is the reason?" Gao Dian asked.

"Because you're so young." Du Dawei said.

Gao Dian was stunned, he never thought it would be this reason, and he felt a little ridiculous.

Although he is not very old, his level can't be faked.

"Sometimes, that's just the way it is. Although your level is top-notch, most people think that you are too young to learn well, but not necessarily to teach well. Moreover, worshipping a person who is younger than themselves as a teacher, many people can't pull this face. ”

Du Dawei said.

Gao Dian was a little silent, what Du Dawei said made sense, sometimes it's not that you are at a high level, and you can accept apprentices casually if you want to.

The current Gao Dian is too young to match his cooking skills.

Generally speaking, people who can reach his level are forty or fifty years old, and no matter how young they are, they will never be lower than thirty years old.

But Gao Dian is only in his twenties.

A lot of people believe in the saying that if you don't have a hair, you can't do things well.

Gao Dian, if you can reach such a high level, it is because you are genius, because you are amazing. But no matter how talented and powerful you are, can you guarantee that you can teach well?

There is no certainty, and others are not willing to come to Gaodian to gamble.

Gao Dian's current situation is that he belongs, those who know don't want to come, and those who want to come don't know.

"It's okay, your current age, accepting students or something, it's indeed a little early. You might as well take advantage of this time to concentrate on your studies, and maybe you can even become a pastry master. When the time comes, it will be easy for you to accept students again. ”

Du Dawei said.

Gao Dian answered, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Looking at Gao Dian's expression, Du Dawei also knew that he did not agree with his statement in his heart.

At this time, Gao Dian said: "I remember that when the teacher was alive, he also accepted a lot of students, so how did the teacher accept it? ”

Du Dawei said: "The students accepted by the master are actually passively accepted, not actively accepted. ”

Gao Dian looked at Du Dawei suspiciously, he felt that with the character of a teacher, he should not passively accept students.

Du Dawei said: "It's true, don't believe it. ”

Gao Dian didn't believe it, he still believed what Du Dawei said. Especially about the teacher, Du Dawei should know best, and even Wei Xu probably doesn't know as much as him.

Du Dawei was the first to follow Old Man Wei and experienced a lot of things with Old Man Wei. Wei Xu was born a few years after Du Dawei followed Old Man Wei.

Gao Dian was just a little puzzled, why this was the case.

Du Dawei thought for a while and said, "The matter of the master accepting students has to start from a long time ago, and it is also a coincidence.

You know that our industry attaches more importance to teachers, not our own apprentices, and basically doesn't teach anything. ”

Hearing this, Gao Dian nodded.

Although it is a modern society, some rules have not changed.

After being in this line for so long, Gao Dian still knows something.

This line of work is relatively conservative about their own craft, and usually does not teach it to others, even if it is their own apprenticeship, what they can learn is limited.

This is also understandable, after all, it is the craft of eating by yourself, and if you teach your apprentices, you may starve to death to the master.

Du Dawei continued: "So at the beginning, Master didn't think about anyone other than the disciples. ”

Old Man Wei grew up in that atmosphere, so he will naturally be more conservative, and it is normal not to have this kind of plan at the beginning.

"Then how did the teacher start accepting apprentices?" Gao Dian asked.

At that time, Master had already made a name for himself as a chef in a state-owned restaurant. One day, a man in tattered clothes came to Master and asked Master to take him as an apprentice.

Because the master's reputation is very great, there are many people who come to worship him. But the master doesn't accept everyone, he has to be good in both talent and morality, and in addition, he must be diligent.

Many people did not meet the standards of the teacher and were sent away.

That person also did not meet the master's standard for accepting apprentices, and let him go back according to the usual practice. But the man didn't leave there, but came to ask Master once a day.

Master was a little annoyed by him like this, but at the same time, he was touched by his perseverance. Because of so many apprentices, most of them left after being sent away, but he has always been reluctant to leave, with an attitude of not giving up without apprenticeship.

But his talent is not up to standard, and the master really doesn't want to take him as an apprentice.

Then the master came up with a compromise and accepted him as a student. Teach him how to cook, but only the kind that a teacher teaches his students. How much he can learn depends on his personal efforts.

This is the first student the teacher takes in. ”

Du Dawei spoke slowly.

Gao Dian listened carefully, it turned out that the teacher accepted students like this.

Du Dawei took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Later, the master accepted the student's news, and somehow, it was passed out. Many people are unable to meet the Master's standards to become apprentices, so they retreat to the second best thing and want to become the Master's students.

At that time, the master had already accepted a student, so the people behind him couldn't stop accepting it. Thinking about whether a sheep is driving, a flock of sheep is still driving. So Master started taking students, and then it became what you know. ”

Gao Dian said: "I see, the teacher actually started to accept students like this. ”

"Yes, Master is soft-hearted, you see so many pastry masters, there are a few students who accept students. Students and apprentices are not the same. Du Dawei said.

Gao Dian nodded thoughtfully.

Students and apprentices are naturally different, and the gap is very large.

To accept an apprentice, you must do your best to cultivate, take care of food and housing, and even manage life events. It's actually no different from raising a son.

Of course, the master is like a parent to the apprentice, and the apprentice is like a father to the master. The so-called one day as a teacher, lifelong as a father, is like this. When the master is older, the apprentice also has the obligation to support the master.

Even the apprentice has to do more for the master.

If not, why do people teach you the art of eating?

Students are different, students respect their teachers, but they don't have to do much for them. In the same way, teachers do not really treat students like parents and children.

As a result, many people prefer to accept apprentices rather than students.

Accepting students is not of much benefit to themselves, students have achieved something in their studies and left, and they still remember you as a teacher, who is thin-hearted and cold-hearted, and they will leave forever.

"That's true." Gao Dian sighed in his heart.

"Xiao Gao, I shouldn't have interfered with your acceptance of students. After all, it's your decision, and you have your own considerations.

But I don't think you should be in such a hurry, no one comes to apprentice, it's their loss, not yours.

You're young and can use that time to do what you want. Du Dawei said.

"I know what you mean." Gao Dian responded with a smile.

Du Dawei looked at Gao Dian and knew that he didn't really listen.

He groaned slightly, feeling that he couldn't let Gao Dian drill this bull's horn.

"Xiao Gao, I have a question for you." Du Dawei said.

"You say." Gao Dian said.

"What is your purpose in taking students? When the master accepts students, it is soft-hearted and passive. But you are active, so what is the purpose of your students? Du Dawei asked.

Hearing this question, Gao Dian was slightly silent and said: "The purpose is to pass it on, so that more people who want to learn noodles can have a place to learn." ”

When Du Dawei heard this, he was immediately silent.

This purpose is very similar to the purpose of his master's collection of high canons.

Of course, the two are not exactly the same.

But the core of it is all about inheritance!

Thinking of this, Du Dawei took a deep breath and said, "In this way, if you want to accept students, I won't stop you." But you have to consider one question, after you accept students, how do you arrange your own time?

You can't spend all your time teaching your students, and then you're delaying your progress. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, his heart suddenly sank, he hadn't thought about it.

He set a goal in his heart, but there were some problems that he didn't think about so comprehensively.

In the final analysis, Gao Dian is just a young man in his twenties, where can he think about it so comprehensively.

The timing is really important.

"Didn't think about it?" Du Dawei asked.

Gao Dian nodded.

Du Dawei sighed and said, "Your goal is very good and great. But you haven't thought about it enough, and it's a good thing for you that you don't receive students now. You have more time to think. ”

Gao Dian said, "I will." ”

"In fact, it is not only a question of timing, but also a question of how to teach, how to teach, what to teach, and how deep to teach, all of which you have to think about." Du Dawei said.

Gao Dian nodded, indicating that he remembered.

This time I came to talk to Du Dawei, which made Gao Dian feel that he had gained a lot, and he really didn't think about it comprehensively before.

Knowing where you are lacking, the next step is to think about how you can change it.

The two chatted for a long time, and Du Dawei provided some ideas for solutions, but did not propose specific solutions.

He didn't want to interfere with Gao Dian too much, some ideas were enough.

Gao Dian is also thinking seriously.
