Chapter 105: Teaching Apprentices Can Gain Experience Points

Soon, Chen Xiaoyang cut a potato.

After a careful examination, Wang Jianye found that there was not much progress.

After all, Chen Xiaoyang's talent is average, and it won't be easy to master knife skills overnight.

However, Wang Jianye is not in a hurry. As long as Chen Xiaoyang can keep practicing, he will be able to improve his level one day.

"When you cut the potatoes, you must remember..."

Wang Jianye patiently explained to Chen Xiaoyang what he needed to pay attention to.

Chen Xiaoyang listened carefully.

Wang Jianye said, "Cut another one."

"okay."

Chen Xiaoyang found a potato and followed Wang Jianye's instructions. The potato shreds he cut were indeed better than before.

"This time the cut is better than before."

Wang Jianye’s recognition.

This gave Chen Xiaoyang a lot of motivation, "Then Master, I will cut another one."

"Don't be impatient. First think about the differences in your cutting methods these two times. Why was the second time better than the first time? Only when you have a clear summary can you make progress little by little."

Wang Jianye warned.

Although Chen Xiaoyang's talent is average, he is very obedient. He does whatever he is told and is extremely serious and focused.

After Chen Xiaoyang expressed his views.

Wang Jianye nodded with satisfaction: "Your understanding is correct. Now cut another potato and follow what you just said."

So Chen Xiaoyang took a potato from the vegetable basket, put it on the chopping board and cut it carefully, keeping in mind the method and technique when cutting, and adjusted it immediately if there was anything wrong.

It didn't take long for Chen Xiaoyang to finish cutting the potato.

"Yes, just follow this method, and keep cutting until you become familiar with it."

Wang Jianye instructed, keeping an eye on the potato shreds Chen Xiaoyang was cutting.

[Ding, experience value +5]

After Chen Xiaoyang practiced cutting potatoes for an unknown number of times, Wang Jianye heard a system prompt in his mind and gained five experience points.

"It turns out that you can gain experience points by teaching your apprentices."

Wang Jianye confirmed.

I felt a little excited.

"I can also gain experience points by teaching my apprentices. In this way, I don't have to rely on myself to earn experience points, and I can gain more experience points in a day."

"I have gained an average of 50 experience points every day in the past two days. Now that I am teaching Chen Xiaoyang, the experience points I have gained will definitely be far more than 50 points."

"Originally, I set the third goal, and it would be great if I could complete it in a month. Now, with the help of teaching my apprentice, I will definitely be able to complete the third goal ahead of schedule."

Think of this.

Wang Jianye was glad that he discovered this early.

I am also glad that I accepted Chen Xiaoyang as my apprentice. As long as I teach him seriously, I can gain more experience points every day and my level will get higher and higher.

Next, Wang Jianye taught Chen Xiaoyang his experience and insights on practicing knife skills by cutting potato shreds without reservation.

Isn’t Chen Xiaoyang just of average talent and a slow learner?
Then I will tell you directly my own insights and experiences. If you follow my instructions and practice well, you can make great progress.

Wang Jianye already has more than ten dishes that have reached the level of a top chef, so his basic skills are very good.

His basic knife skills, especially the skill of cutting potato shreds, are incredible. There are few people in the entire kitchen who can surpass him.

With Wang Jianye's unreserved attitude and Chen Xiaoyang's willingness to endure hardships and stay, he made rapid progress. In just one morning, his skill in cutting potato shreds had improved significantly compared to when he came in the morning.

"Well, very good, the cutting is getting better and better."

Wang Jianye gave encouragement at the appropriate time.

This gave Chen Xiaoyang positive feedback, making him more motivated and hardworking.

Chen Xiaoyang was practicing on one side while Wang Jianye was cooking the dishes ordered by the customers on the other side, and the two of them did not interfere with each other.

[Ding, experience value +2]

[Ding, experience value +3]

Wang Jianye didn’t know whether the experience points he gained were because he was cooking or because his apprentice was practicing.

But it doesn’t matter. If you can’t tell the difference, then just ignore it.

As long as you can gain experience points, that's enough.

Wang Jianye was busy until 1:30 in the afternoon and there were basically no orders from customers.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoyang is still practicing hard.

Wang Jianye did not disturb him, and in just this morning and noon, he gained 52 experience points.

In other words, in just half a day, he gained more experience points than he gained in the whole day yesterday.

This is all thanks to the assistance of Chen Xiaoyang.

Otherwise, Wang Jianye would have to be extremely tired to gain so many experience points in just half a day.

"Jianye, is Xiaoyang still practicing?"

At this time Chai Wenshan came over.

He was cooking at another stove, and every time he looked over here, he could see Chen Xiaoyang practicing cutting potatoes into shreds.

"Yeah, look at the way he cut the potatoes now, how do they compare to how he cut them at the beginning?"

Wang Jianye picked up the potato shreds that Chen Xiaoyang had just cut and compared them with the potato shreds in another plate.

The shredded potatoes on that plate were the ones that Chen Xiaoyang cut first.

Chai Wenshan took it and compared it carefully. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "This is too much improvement, right? Didn't you say that his talent is average?"

Wang Jianye smiled and explained, "How much progress you make doesn't just depend on talent. It also depends on whether you find the right methods, whether you can persist in practicing, and whether you can summarize and reflect in time. My apprentice has done all of these, so even if his talent is average, he can still make considerable progress."

Chai Wenshan looked at Wang Jianye in surprise: "I didn't expect that you would have such an understanding on your first time as a master. It seems that you are a more qualified master than me."

"Master, that's what I did when I was practicing cooking some time ago. Plus, I have a very strong talent, so I improved so quickly. Otherwise, Master, do you think I can prepare for two tests in such a short time just by relying on my talent?"

Wang Jianye said with emotion: "Obviously not. Only talent without the right method and enough effort will not lead to any great achievements. For someone like Chen Xiaoyang who has less talent, I can find the right method for him, and with his own efforts, it will be enough to make up for the lack of talent."

Chai Wenshan nodded in agreement, "That's the truth."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Chai Wenshan went to the side to chat with Sun Qu.

Wang Jianye said to Chen Xiaoyang, "We're going to have dinner soon, take a break."

"Okay Master, I'll finish cutting these two."

After hearing Wang Jianye's words, Chen Xiaoyang did not put down the kitchen knife immediately, but continued to cut the three potatoes on the chopping board.

Wang Jianye remembered that when Sha Zhu was practicing cutting potato shreds, he asked him to eat. Even though Sha Zhu still had half a potato left in his hand, he did not finish cutting it. Instead, he put it down and went to eat with Wang Jianye.

But Chen Xiaoyang is completely different. He insists on cutting it all.

This is the difference between Sha Zhu and Chen Xiaoyang.
