“You’re too polite. I’m merely fulfilling the agreement. We have just arrived anyway,” said Carpenter Lian with a wave of his hand.

“Since when was his temper so mild? We have already arrived for about three minutes,” muttered the middle-aged man behind Carpenter Lian at a voice only he could hear. He naturally would not dare let Carpenter Lian hear his mumblings.

The middle-aged man looked to be about 40 years old. He was muttering because he was truly curious about Carpenter Lian’s behavior. He had been learning from Carpenter Lian for about seven years, and he knew very well that Carpenter Lian had a bad temper. Let alone a wait of three minutes, Carpenter Lian would be raging if someone was late for even one second.

The middle-aged man had witnessed Carpenter Lian’s temper far too many times. Since when was he so agreeable? And thus, he couldn’t help himself but to instinctively voiced that Yuan Zhou was late.

The middle-aged man still remembered clearly that when Yuan Zhou went over to Carpenter Lian’s place previously, Carpenter Lian had personally welcomed him into the rear court. Subsequently, he started comparing his disciples with Yuan Zhou, scolding them that they were not as good as Yuan Zhou. One ought to know that since this middle-aged man was able to remain under Carpenter Lian for about 10 years, he was already one of the disciples Carpenter Lian was more satisfied with.

Indeed, he had remained under Carpenter Lian for 10 years and had only learned under him for seven years. The first three years were spent doing odd jobs instead of learning. Most of the people wishing to become a disciple couldn’t even survive the first three years of doing odd jobs.

Although the middle-aged man spent the majority of his time with Carpenter Lian, he also had his own business. He was the boss of a furniture factory, and he was a disciple with a comparatively higher IQ and EQ. That was how he had lasted 10 years.

As the disciple Carpenter Lian was most satisfied with, he was very curious as to how amazing this chef called Yuan Zhou was to the point Carpenter Lian rained praise on him, telling people like him that were much older than Yuan Zhou to learn from Yuan Zhou’s attitude.

And the moment the middle-aged man voiced that Yuan Zhou was late, he successfully gained the attention of Carpenter Lian. Unfortunately, the result of this attention was not what he had expected. Rather, Carpenter Lian pointed at Yuan Zhou’s cart and spoke.

“Go help Little Yuan with his stuff,” said Carpenter Lian impatiently.

“Huh? Ok,” the middle-aged man nodded in agreement after a slight stun.

“It’s fine. I can carry it myself,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Don’t worry about him. He has plenty of energy and no place to use it. Let him carry some stuff to let off some of his excess energy,” Carpenter Lian said.

“Yes, master is right. Brother, let me help you,” said the middle-aged man.

“It’s fine. These are just some ingredients I bought. I will be leaving it here,” Yuan Zhou said as he opened the sergestes wall landscape and placed the sugar in the courtyard.

Naturally, he did not let anyone help him while he was offloading the sugar from his cart. After all, this was his job and he would not feel good letting others help with it.

“You should learn from Little Yuan. For a chef, ingredients are the same as woods for us carpenters. You have to personally handle them with care,” Carpenter Lian lectured the middle-aged man. “Don’t keep thinking about goofing off.”

“This wall is quite exquisite,” said Carpenter Lian as he looked at the wall and the craftsmanship of the wall.

“Yeah, I hired someone to make it for me,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Not bad. It is obvious that the person has used all his heart when making it,” said Carpenter Lian.

Seeing how interested Carpenter Lian was on the wall, Yuan Zhou gave a short introduction. After a short chat, Carpenter Lian proposed to go upstairs.

“Little Yuan, bring me to the spot you want the cabinet so I can decide on the design of the cabinet,” said Carpenter Lian. When he spoke to Yuan Zhou, he used a gentle tone.
