With guidance from a master, Qin Huai felt his broth-making skills were improving by leaps and bounds.

Compared to Zheng Da's abstract teaching and his disdain for 99% of pastry chefs' talents, Huang Shengli's teaching method was clearly encouraging.
Perhaps years of mentoring had tempered his temperament, or maybe because his rheumatism and back issues kept him away from the front lines, allowing him to enjoy retirement and take things lightly. Even when Qin Huai made great strides and then fell back, Huang Shengli could find encouragement.
"Very good, Xiao Qin, don't be discouraged."
