Chapter 117: The top-notch Xiajin silver noodles

Let Wang Jianye try it too?

Once this thought appeared in Zhou Qingde's mind, it would never disappear.

After all, he had seen it this afternoon. Wang Jianye learned how to make dragon beard noodles from Li Hai. The first time he made it, he cooked it at the level of a second chef. The second time he made it, he even reached the level of a head chef.

The talent is too strong and the progress is too fast.

With such a terrifying talent, Wang Jianye should start learning how to make Xiajin silver thread noodles from the white pastry chef from now on. After practicing a few times, his level will improve.

At that time, if the people Zhou Qingde arranged to go to other restaurants to buy Xiajin silver thread noodles failed to buy them due to an accident, then Wang Jianye could be asked to cook this dish.

Zhou Qingde found Wang Jianye who was busy cooking, "Master Wang, I need your help with something."

Wang Jianye didn't stop using the spatula in his hand. He looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong, Master Zhou?"

Zhou Qingde found another chef to take over the cooking of the dish in Wang Jianye's hands, and then pulled Wang Jianye to a quieter place.
"It's like this, the waiter said that an important guest had specially ordered a dish called Xiajin Silver Thread Noodles.

But here, Chef Bai, who has already taken a leave, cooks the best. The other chefs can't cook to Chef Bai's level. Customers can't return the dishes, so I sent people to buy them from several restaurants outside, but I was afraid that something might happen to them and they wouldn't be able to buy them.
So I want you, Master Wang, to cook this dish. If they don’t buy it, you can make a high-quality one to replace it.”

"Master Zhou, but I don't know how to cook this dish yet."

Wang Jianye frowned.

"It doesn't matter. Master Wang, you are so talented that you can learn it right away. Didn't you just watch Master Li make the dragon beard noodles once and then practiced it twice to reach the level of a master chef?

Don't worry, I will ask Master Fang and the others to teach you. Even if the people I arrange buy it and don't need your recipe, I will give you a bonus as an incentive. How about it? Consider it?"

After hearing Zhou Qingde's words.

Wang Jianye took a look at his personal panel.

He currently has 280 experience points. If he uses 50 points, he can upgrade the skill to the top level after learning how to make Xiajin Silver Silk Noodles.

It’s only 50 experience points. He can get more than 70 points a day now, so he doesn’t have much of it.

That being the case...

"Master Zhou, if I can learn and make this Xiajin Silver Silk Noodles as soon as possible, how much bonus can I get?"

Wang Jianye blinked and asked as if he was short of money.

Zhou Qingde thought for a moment and said, "If you can make this Xiajin silver thread noodles to the level of Master Bai within one or two hours, I will give you a bonus of five dollars. How about that?"

After hearing this, Wang Jianye took a deep breath and pretended to be very excited: "Thank you, Master Zhou. For this bonus, I must make this Xiajin Silver Silk Noodles for you."

Zhou Qingde took Wang Jianye to find Fang Jingzu and told him what happened.

Fang Jingzu frowned, "But the Xiajin silver noodles we make are not as good as Master Bai's. It should be easy for Master Wang to improve from not knowing how to make this to the same level as us. But by then we won't be able to continue to teach Master Wang, because our level is only this low. If that happens, with no one to teach us, how can Master Wang's level be raised to the same level as Master Bai's?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingde looked at Wang Jianye worriedly.

This is indeed a problem.

Fang Jingzu and other pastry chefs are only at the level of second-class chefs when it comes to making Xiajin silver thread noodles. Even if Wang Jianye learned this dish from them, can his skills be better than theirs?
"Master Wang, what do you think?"

"Master Zhou, you forgot that the spicy and sour potato shreds made by my master are only at the level of a second-class cook, while the spicy and sour potato shreds I make have reached the level of a first-class cook. Even if my master is no longer able to instruct me, I can still improve my level by studying on my own, so... I want to give it a try."

Wang Jianye said confidently. He has a cooking skill system and enough experience points. It is difficult for others to improve the level of a dish, but for him, it is very simple. He can improve his level with just a thought.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingde slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah, that's right. Master Wang can cook several top-notch dishes. Even his master, Master Chai, is far inferior to him. What should we worry about?"

Then Zhou Qingde said to Fang Jingzu: "Master Fang, please teach him and let him try."

Fang Jingzu nodded seriously.

Soon, Fang Jingzu made a dish of Xiajin silver thread noodles in front of Wang Jianye, which was at the level of a second-class chef. He explained each step clearly to Wang Jianye.

"Master Wang, do you understand?"

Fang Jingzu asked.

Wang Jianye nodded: "I understand, then let me try."

Then, Wang Jianye ordered the system in his mind, "I want to upgrade this Xiajin Silver Noodles to the second-class level."

[Ding, Xiajin Silver Noodles (Entry Level 1+) has successfully upgraded after spending 30 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Xiajin Silver Noodles (Second Stove Level 31+). ]

Wang Jianye did not raise the level of this dish to the top level all at once, but planned to improve it step by step. After all, that was how he made the dragon beard noodles before.

After the upgrade, Wang Jianye started to make it.

In a short while, he had smoothly made a dish of second-class Xiajin silver noodles.

[Ding, experience value +3]

Fang Jingzu couldn't wait to take the chopsticks and taste it. "Hmm, not bad. The Xiajin silver thread noodles made by Master Wang are almost as good as mine."

Then his expression became complicated.

It took him several months to make Xiajin silver noodles to the current level, but Wang Jianye only watched it once and achieved the level he had worked so hard for several months on the first try...

Although Fang Jingzu already knew that Wang Jianye was very talented, he still couldn't help but sigh that hard work was nothing compared to talent.

"Okay, okay, Master Wang, can you continue to improve this dish and raise its level?"

Zhou Qingde asked happily but nervously.

Wang Jianye didn't rush to answer, but looked at Fang Jingzu: "Master Fang, do you know how Master Bai's Xiajin Silver Silk Noodles is better than mine?"

Fang Jingzu talked about Bai Nan's strengths and his own shortcomings, but he was unable to improve.

Wang Jianye pretended as if he understood, but in fact he didn't listen at all.

Instead, he secretly gave the system an order: "Upgrade this Xiajin Silver Silk Noodles to the top level for me."

[Ding, Xiajin Silver Noodles (Second Stove Level 31+) has been successfully upgraded after spending 20 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Xiajin Silver Noodles (First Stove Level 31+). ]

“I think I know how to improve it.”

Wang Jianye said seriously and started to make the second dish of Xiajin silver noodles.
