Chapter 114 Wang Jianye takes action, incredible talent
"But Master Zhou, red cases and white cases are not the same thing. I'm not sure how talented I am at white cases. You want me to be Master Luo's apprentice, but if I don't have the talent, he won't accept me."
Wang Jianye has not yet tried to use the system to add some enhancements to pastries or noodles, so he is not sure whether it will work.
Zhou Qingde smiled helplessly, "I know this, but we really have no other choice now. Master Bai's old yeast has been destroyed. In our Sijiu City, only Master Luo has a piece of decades-old yeast, so I can only come to you to try."
Seeing Wang Jianye was still hesitating.
Zhou Qingde continued, "You told me before that the reason why you improved so quickly in cooking was because you were facing a grading test, but you were particularly anxious because you were not prepared. This anxiety made you improve so quickly. I think this talent can also be used to learn plain pastry. Let's give it a try. In a while, Master Li will teach you some basics of making plain pastry. If you can master it before the end of the get off work, then... Master Li and I will each reward you five dollars. How about it?"
Each person received a reward of five yuan, and the total for the two people was ten yuan, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu.
The money given was quite a lot.
This is enough to show Zhou Qingde's sincerity.
Wang Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Anyway, there is no loss even if it fails.
If successful, he would not only get some money, but also take the opportunity to learn how to cook some pastry dishes and develop more comprehensively.
After Wang Jianye agreed, Zhou Qingde did not feel relieved, but became even more nervous.
If Wang Jianye could have the same talent for cooking white cases as he did for cooking red cases, Master Luo would definitely be willing to accept him as his apprentice, and the problem of the old yeast would be solved.
If Wang Jianye can't do it...
I’m afraid there’s no way to solve the problem of the old yeast. I can only wait until Bai Nan comes back in ten days and then tell him the bad news.
The old yeast that had been raised for more than a hundred years by three generations was destroyed just like that.
If Bai Nan knew about this, he would probably go crazy and might even fight with them to the death.
"Master Wang, I place all my hopes on you. You must succeed."
Zhou Qingde said in his heart.
Li Hai brought Wang Jianye to his own counter and began to tell him some basic knowledge about cooking. He then personally demonstrated how to make a dish of dragon beard noodles.
Even though he accidentally ruined a piece of century-old yeast, Li Hai was after all a second chef in charge of plain cuisine. Making dragon beard noodles was his basic skill and he could do it quickly and well.
However, in order to let Wang Jianye see and hear clearly, he carefully explained to Wang Jianye every step of making this dragon beard noodle.
"do you understand?"
After finishing, Li Hai looked at Wang Jianye expectantly and asked.
Like Zhou Qingde, he really hoped that Wang Jianye would have a strong talent for criminal cases.
Only in this way can he make up for his mistake and prevent Bai Nan from going crazy and killing him after returning.
Wang Jianye nodded.
He has basically never done any serious criminal work and doesn't have any basic skills.
So it’s just like ordinary people. They can see it with their eyes and know how to do it, but when it comes to really trying to do it, they definitely can’t do it.
"Then Master Wang, do you want me to repeat it again for you?"
Li Hai swallowed and looked at him panicking.
Wang Jianye did not rush to answer, but closed his eyes and opened his personal panel in his mind.
[Experience value: 330]
[Recipe: 2] [Cooking Skills: Dragon's Beard Noodles (Entry Level 1+)...]
【厨艺等级:入门级(0-5)、熟练级(6-15)、三灶级(16-30)、二灶级(31-50)、头灶级(51-80)、大厨级(81-99)、国宴级(100+)】
"Have it!"
Wang Jianye was very happy when he saw the entry-level dragon beard noodles on his personal dashboard.
This means that his cooking skill adding system can also be used to learn pastries made by pastry chefs.
"System, upgrade my dragon beard noodles to the second stove level."
[Ding, Dragon Beard Noodles (Entry Level 1+) has been upgraded successfully after spending 30 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Dragon Beard Noodles (Second Stove Level 31+). ]
As the system prompt sounded in his mind, Wang Jianye instantly mastered the second-level dragon beard noodles, and his basic skills also improved.
The level of chefs here in Bai'an is similar to that in Hong'an. There are apprentices with entry-level skills, more skilled apprentices, third chefs who can become full-time chefs, second chefs with better skills, and then master chefs with very good skills.
Bai Nan is the chef of Fengzeyuan’s white case, and Li Hai is the second chef, which are similar to the first and second chefs in the red case respectively.
As for Master Luo, he is a skilled pastry chef at the level of a state banquet chef.
Wang Jianye slowly opened his eyes and said calmly to Li Hai beside him: "No need to repeat yourself, Master Li. Let me try it myself."
So Wang Jianye started to make dragon beard noodles.
Zhou Qingde came to Li Hai, frowning and not understanding how Wang Jianye was doing. After all, Zhou Qingde had not learned much about white case.
"Master Li, what do you think of Master Wang's work?"
Zhou Qingde asked Li Hai beside him in a low voice. He was very eager to know before Wang Jianye made the dragon beard noodles.
"This is just the beginning, it looks like there's nothing wrong."
Li Hai stared at it carefully, feeling very nervous.
Soon, Wang Jianye finished kneading the dough and started the next step, making ramen.
Li Hai stared at it without blinking, holding his breath, his palms sweating slightly, because this step was the most critical.
Wang Jianye’s cooking of dragon beard noodles has reached the level of a second-class chef, so it comes naturally, easily and skillfully to him.
"This……"
Li Hai was very shocked when he saw Wang Jianye's smooth and flowing movements of making noodles, and his eyes widened.
Zhou Qingde beside him hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Hai took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure Master Wang has never made this dragon beard noodle before?"
"Master Wang just said that he has never done it, and I have never heard that Wang Jianye has ever learned Bai'an from that master before. Why are you asking this?"
Zhou Qingde wanted to know in particular. Although he was the chef of Fengze Garden, he had no experience in plain cooking and could not tell how good Wang Jianye was at making dragon beard noodles.
Li Hai sighed sadly, "Master Zhou, do you know how long it took me to learn how to make dragon beard noodles from the master to make this dish?"
"for how long?"
"Three months."
Li Hai looked at Wang Jianye who was busy with his work with a complicated expression, as if he was explaining to Zhou Qingde, or as if he was talking to himself: "It took me three months to make this dragon beard noodle to the current level, but Master Wang has only watched the demonstration once... and he has reached the level that took me three months to achieve."
