After Marrying the Officer

Xia Chuyi took a deep breath, didn't ask anything, and went straight forward to take the potato.

After taking the potato, Xia Chuyi first washed it clean, then placed it on the cutting board.

She gripped the knife and started slicing.

After neatly arranging the potato slices one by one, she turned the knife and decisively and cleanly cut them into shreds.

In order to hide her knife skills, Xia Chuyi intentionally slowed down her potato cutting pace and didn't cut the potato as finely.

After finishing with one potato, she gestured to Mr. Guan to inspect it.

Mr. Guan came forward, put the potato shreds in water, and grabbed at them with his hands, only to see the shreds immediately separate, clear-cut and uniformly sized.

Seeing this, Mr. Guan frowned and said, "Barely passable."

Xia Chuyi maintained a calm smile, offering no response.

"Have you ever been the chef? What dishes have you made? Which cuisine do you personally prefer? You yourself..." Mr. Guan's barrage of questions wasn't finished when the Master interrupted him.

"Old Guan!" the Master gently scolded, "Enough is enough. If this child knew and was good at everything, why would she come to apprentice with you?"

The Master shook her head in disagreement.

Yet, Mr. Guan frowned even more, dissatisfied, "Isn't she a student from Kyoto University? Bao Jiaye's student? She should be very talented and know everything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Guan actually snorted coldly.

Xia Chuyi: Is there... a problem here?

Then, the Master helplessly continued, "Are you still dwelling on things from so many years ago?"

Xia Chuyi nodded silently to herself, thinking: It seems there really is a problem.

She glanced at the Master, then at the Master.

Recalling how the Master was surprised about Mrs. Gu and Professor Bao regarding some matters.

Could it be that these older generations have some stories between them?

Seeing Mr. Guan still looking grim, with an unpleasant expression.

"Yide, that's enough! If you don't want this disciple, then I'll send her back!" The Master was also stern and spoke in a cold voice.

"After all, you, Yide, are so capable and famous. There are plenty like Huang Yidao who want to learn from you."

The Master seemed almost angry, which actually defused Mr. Guan's temper.

"I... I didn't say I wouldn't take her," Mr. Guan said stubbornly.

After that, Mr. Guan turned towards Xia Chuyi and said gruffly, "Becoming my disciple is no trivial matter."

"To become my disciple, after passing the interview, you will need to complete a six-month internship, during which we will assess your character, talent, and diligence."

"After that, if you make it through, I will choose an auspicious day to formally accept you as my disciple."

Mr. Guan looked at Xia Chuyi and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Xia Chuyi was aware of this rule, so naturally, she had no objections.

Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "I have no objections, but I am still a student, so my time to study under you will not be very extensive."

Seeing her serious attitude, Mr. Guan nodded slightly and said, "No matter, as a student who is also far away in Capital City, come to study during each vacation."

"We'll average out the six months of internship time. Three years later, I will decide if you can formally become my disciple."

Considering this, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said, "Master and Master, have you ever considered moving to Capital City?"

Originally, she was worried about the Master's lifestyle, which is why she rushed to G city.

Little did she know she had been tricked by Guo Jiacheng.

The Master's lifestyle was, in fact, not bad at all.

Now, having the relationships of the Master and Mrs. Gu, she thought, perhaps she could persuade the Master and Master to move to Capital City.
