"When you've pretty much learned everything, you become an apprentice to handle things on your own."
"When I first started selling Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns at the State-owned Restaurant, I was scorned by the neighbors. They all said my buns weren't as good as my master's. I'm not afraid to tell you, I used to sell buns at the restaurant during the day, and at night I'd cry alone in my room, feeling like I let my master down."
"My senior was the same, his dishes received harsh criticism too."
"Thinking back, the neighbors didn't really say anything nasty. Even though they commented that my skills were far inferior to my master's, they still bought every bun, lining up daily. It was expected not to be as good as my master; I was just a young, inexperienced kid back then. Even now, I'm not as good as my master."
