Chapter 106 Drinking Too Much

The meals eaten by the kitchen staff are called "public meals" in the jargon.

Generally speaking, those who work for the public are apprentices.

The ingredients used are those ordered by the guests, and the prepared side dishes are not used up. The remaining part is used to make public meals.

Use whatever ingredients are leftover.

If there are too many people in the kitchen and the leftover side dishes are not enough, new ingredients will be used.

On Chen Xiaoyang's first day as an apprentice in the kitchen, his cooking skills were far inferior to those of the apprentices who had been there longer.

So he was not among those who prepared public meals.

After the public meal was ready, Wang Jianye and Chai Wenshan sat together, at the table of the second kitchen chef.

As an apprentice, Chen Xiaoyang sat at the apprentices' table.

Sitting next to Chen Xiaoyang was Li Si, who had been an apprentice at Fengze Garden for more than a year and was considered an old hand. He knew that Chen Xiaoyang was Wang Jianye's new apprentice, so he was particularly enthusiastic towards Chen Xiaoyang.

"Xiaoyang, you have found a good master this time. Do you know how powerful your master is..."

Li Si admired Wang Jianye very much. When chatting with Wang Jianye's apprentice Chen Xiaoyang, he told Chen Xiaoyang about Wang Jianye's brilliant achievements in a vivid way.

Chen Xiaoyang learned some information about Wang Jianye from Liang Ladi, but it was not as detailed as what Li Si said.

"Is my master so powerful?"

Chen Xiaoyang said in surprise.

"That's right. The only one in our kitchen who can compare to your master is Master Zhou. No, even Master Zhou's performance was not as good as your master's back then. Let me tell you..."

Li Si told Chen Xiaoyang some more things about Master Zhou, and then compared Master Zhou with Wang Jianye.

Only then did Chen Xiaoyang realize how lucky he was to be accepted as Wang Jianye's apprentice.

"Master is so powerful and so kind to me. I absolutely cannot embarrass him."

Chen Xiaoyang encouraged himself and decided to put in more effort and energy to improve his cooking skills.

After lunch.

Chen Xiaoyang took the initiative to go to the counter and continue practicing cutting potatoes into shreds.

When Wang Jianye saw it, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he had found a good disciple.

night.

After finishing the last dish on the customer's order, Wang Jianye cleaned the pot and called it a day.

"I gained 52 experience points in the morning and at noon, and another 23 experience points in the afternoon and evening, which adds up to 75 experience points."

Wang Jianye summed up his gains and found that he had gained 75 experience points today after accepting an apprentice.

He had been traveling through time for so many days, and before that he had gained a maximum of 60 experience points a day.

And now, the experience points he gained easily exceeded his previous maximum.

"I accepted Chen Xiaoyang as my apprentice yesterday. It was the best decision I made during this period of time."

Wang Jianye sighed in his heart.

Then he came to Chen Xiaoyang who was still practicing, "It's time to get off work. Come with me to the Dashilan Restaurant on Qianmen Street for dinner."

"Okay Master."

After Chen Xiaoyang finished his work, he simply tidied up the table.

Then he followed Wang Jianye and walked out together.

Wang Jianye found Chai Wenshan and asked, "Master, shall we go there now?"

Chai Wenshan nodded, "I have already talked to the owner of the Dashilan Restaurant, let's go over there now."

Chai Wenshan called out from the back kitchen and asked everyone who wanted to attend to come.

Then Chai Wenshan came to the manager's office again and invited Manager Zheng Hao, and together with him, he invited Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengzeyuan.

Everyone walked towards the Dashilan Hotel not far away. Chen Xiaoyang followed behind Wang Jianye, and when he saw so many people going to attend Wang Jianye's graduation banquet, he felt more proud and proud.

Qin Huairu caught up with Wang Jianye and wanted to join the party as well: "Brother Wang, I'm here."

Wang Jianye didn't see Sha Zhu, so he asked, "Didn't Sha Zhu come?"

"As soon as I told him that Brother Xu was here, he didn't want to come anymore."

Qin Huairu explained, not caring at all.

Sha Zhu thought she was being bullied, so he started a fight, which led to her being expelled from Fengze Garden.

But Qin Huairu didn't think so. Sha Zhu deserved to be fired.

Wang Jianye had no choice but to say, "Okay then."

The Dashilan Hotel on Qianmen Street is not far from Fengze Garden.

The group arrived at the destination after walking for about ten minutes.

When Wang Jianye just arrived, Zhang Lan, Wang Jiannan and others also just arrived.

Chai Wenshan led everyone to sit down.

Quite a lot of people came, most of them were from Fengzeyuan, such as Zhou Qingde, Cao Xiaodong, Zhao Zhirui, Master Qian, Sun Qu, Feng Qingjie, Li Si, manager Zheng Hao, boss Jiang Rongqing, head waiter Xu Youliang and others.

Another group of people are from the Chefs Association. They were invited to serve as witnesses, symbolizing that the chef industry recognizes Wang Jianye as a master.

These were all invited by Chai Wenshan.

There are also people invited by Wang Jianye, including Zhang Lan, Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwen, Wang Jianwu, Chen Xiaoyang, Qin Huairu and others.

When the owner of Dazhalan Restaurant came over and asked Chai Wenshan if he wanted the dishes served now, he got an affirmative answer and asked the restaurant waiters to serve the dishes table by table.

There were more than twenty guests in total, sitting at three tables.

Chai Wenshan had already booked three tables of food in advance.

Each table, including drinks, costs fifteen yuan.

The money was paid by Wang Jianye, the disciple who attended the farewell banquet.

He still had some savings, so he paid it all in advance.

As the master of this farewell banquet, Chai Wenshan was responsible for all the arrangements except the money.

When he first invited Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengzeyuan, to speak, many people were getting impatient and had no intention of listening to what they were saying. They just wanted to start the meal quickly.

Fortunately, Jiang Rongqing did not give a long speech. He just praised Wang Jianye a few words, told everyone to eat and drink well, and then sat back.

Chai Wenshan didn't say anything more.

Wang Jianye, the apprentice, naturally sat at the same table with his master Chai Wenshan.

In today's event, Wang Jianye not only had to toast his master, but also Zhou Qingde, manager Zheng Hao, boss Jiang Rongqing and others.

Wang Jianye’s alcohol tolerance is quite good, but after drinking like this, he still felt dizzy at the end, as if he saw the braised carp in front of him fluttering in the plate.

After the farewell banquet, Zhang Lan saw that Wang Jianye was drunk, so she and Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwen, Wang Jianwu and others prepared to send Wang Jianye back to his residence in the Qianmen courtyard.

As Wang Jianye's apprentice, Chen Xiaoyang also supported Wang Jianye along the way.

As the cool breeze blew on the street at night, Wang Jianye sobered up a little and left Wang Jianwen and Chen Xiaoyang's shoulders. "I'm actually not drunk at all."

"Look at you staggering, and you say you're not drunk."

Zhang Lan couldn't help but say.

Wang Jianye waved his hands, his tongue swollen, "I really didn't drink much, this is just the beginning, I can still drink another... pound."

"Don't try to show off."

Zhang Lan frowned and said dissatisfiedly, asking Wang Jianwen and others to support Wang Jianye.

Not long after, Wang Jianye returned to the Qianmen courtyard.
