Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals

Liu Lan's words left He Yuzhu speechless. His face turned pale and blue for a long time before he managed to utter:

"I... I'm doing this for their own good! I'm teaching them a lesson so they don't think about evil ways and go astray!"

He Yuzhu's voice of defense lacked confidence. After all, every word Liu Lan said made sense, leaving him with no way to refute.

Liu Lan didn't buy his tricks, she sneered and rudely retorted:

"Bah! Stop talking nonsense here! It's their freedom to learn from whomever they want. It's not your turn to tell them what to do. Besides, if Ma Hua and the others were really taught so badly, how could they cook so well? In my opinion, if they really asked someone else to teach them, it's probably because you didn't teach them well enough, and you don't want to admit it, right?"

"You, you are talking nonsense! I don't need you to tell my disciples what to do!" He Yuzhu's face turned red after hearing what Liu Lan said. He was so angry that he trembled all over and cursed loudly.

"I'm talking nonsense? Fine, then tell me, Ma Hua and Fatty have been learning from you for all these years. What else have you taught them besides the big pot dishes? If they really learned so well from you, would they go to someone else?" Liu Lan didn't give He Yuzhu any face at all, and pressed him aggressively.

He Yuzhu was speechless after being asked by Liu Lan. He opened his mouth several times but could not utter a word. He knew he was in the wrong, but he was unwilling to bow his head in front of his apprentice. He could only glare at Liu Lan fiercely, his eyes bloodshot.

Just as He Yuzhu opened his mouth to refute something, Liu Lan suddenly interrupted and said, "Silly Zhu, stop making things difficult for yourself. Ma Hua and Fatty's cooking skills have improved because of what Engineer Li taught them. If you really have the guts, go and question Engineer Li instead of getting angry and scolding your apprentice here."

He Yuzhu was startled when he heard this, and the name Li Yang flashed through his mind. He shook his head instinctively, but he also felt that something was wrong.

Because in his impression, there didn't seem to be a chef named Li in the technical department of the steel plant, let alone one who was good at cooking.

Seeing that He Yuzhu still looked confused, Liu Lan quickly explained: "It was Li Yang, the deputy chief of the technical department! Last time, he personally cooked a sumptuous banquet for everyone, which made everyone very hungry. It was at that time that Ma Hua and Fatty asked him for cooking skills."

Liu Lan's words were like thunder, instantly waking He Yuzhu from his fog.

The color on his face suddenly surged, and he was furious. He cursed: "How is this possible? How can that brat cook a good dish? With his mediocre skills, I am a chef who is inferior to him! He can't teach anyone at all. This must be Ma Hua and Fatty fooling me!"

As He Yuzhu said this, he rushed forward, grabbed the trembling Ma Hua, and questioned him fiercely.

Seeing this, Liu Lan couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically: "What you said is really interesting. The last time Li Yang cooked, the dishes he made were much better than yours. If you don't believe me, go ask the deputy director, he was also there to testify. Moreover, he is willing to pass on his cooking skills, but you don't even have this kind of mind. I really don't know who is less qualified to be a chef!"

Liu Lan's words undoubtedly hit He Yuzhu's sore spot.

The blunt tone was like a sharp spear, piercing through his cooking skills and teaching qualifications, which he was most proud of. He felt as if he had been hit hard, and the anger in his body seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, which immediately extinguished the flames.

He Yuzhu turned away with a dull look and was about to open his mouth to refute.

However, his lips moved for a long time, but he still couldn't say a word. Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, he suddenly burst into a thunderous roar, his eyes red and murderous: "Shut up! Shut the fuck up!"

Such a domineering roar instantly shocked everyone present.

However, the other party's silence did not calm He Yuzhu down. On the contrary, his anger grew stronger and stronger. He rushed forward, clamped Liu Lan's arms tightly with his hands like a pair of pliers, and growled with a grin: "What do you want to do? How dare you say that I can't teach people well? You want to get beaten, don't you?"

He Yuzhu's movements were too rough, and Liu Lan was pinched so hard that she almost screamed out in pain.

The two men wrestled together, and were at loggerheads with each other.

Ma Hua, who was standing by, was horrified when he saw this and quickly jumped out to try to persuade the two to leave. He stood in front of He Yuzhu tremblingly, crying and begging: "Master, please calm down and don't be impulsive! Besides, we were all wrong just now, please don't argue with Sister Liu!"

Ma Hua's crying appearance slightly reduced He Yuzhu's anger. He loosened his grip on Liu Lan's arm and rebuked her in a deep voice: "Master? You still have the nerve to call me master? I am not your master. You have found someone else to be your teacher! Don't call me master in the future, or I will feel like vomiting!"

He Yuzhu's words were heart-wrenching and completely defeated Ma Hua. Ma Hua covered his face, tears welled up in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "I was wrong, Master, please don't do this..."

At this moment, Liu Lan was quick to grab Ma Hua's arm, pulled him to her side, and said earnestly: "Ma Hua, don't be silly. He Yuzhu no longer recognizes you as his apprentice, why are you still trying to coax him? Think about how much you have learned from him in more than two years? Now you are not as good as Li Yang who learned to cook delicious dishes in one night. This thing explains everything!"

Liu Lan's words were like a blow to Ma Hua's head, completely breaking him. He was so ashamed that he lowered his head and kept silent, repeating the words "I'm sorry, Master".

He Yuzhu was furious when he saw this, and shouted fiercely: "Shut up! Shut up!"

Liu Lan's words reminded Ma Hua, and made him involuntarily reflect on the two years he had been learning from He Yuzhu.

He recalled the countless days and nights when He Yuzhu scolded them with foul language for their incorrect postures and poor control of the heat. Sometimes he would even beat him and Fatty in front of everyone.

During those days, they were tortured by He Yuzhu's harsh treatment and felt like they were living a life worse than death, but they had to suppress their inner grievances and pretend nothing had happened.

In contrast, when Ma Hua thought of Li Yang's careful guidance last night, he couldn't help but feel indescribable warmth and emotion in his heart.

At that time, Li Yang did not show any arrogance, nor did he say a single harsh word, but patiently and meticulously explained every detail. He was like a kind elder, teaching Ma Hua and Fatty the whole cooking process.

The humiliating scene of being ordered around by He Yuzhu in the kitchen in the past resurfaced in his mind, and Ma Hua suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed. He couldn't help but burst into tears, and his tears fell down, hot and boiling.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I was led astray and betrayed your teachings. But, but you have never taught us sincerely..." Ma Hua choked up and explained his mistakes incoherently.

He Yuzhu saw this and became furious again. He glared at Ma Hua and shouted, "Shut up if you've found a new teacher! Don't pretend in front of me. I see through you! From today on, both of you get out of the kitchen. I don't want you two, my unbearable apprentices anymore!"
