Chapter 119 Meeting Master Luo, the solution
Just before getting off work.

Wang Jianye tidied up the desk and was basically ready to finish his work.

"I gained 69 experience points today. Excluding the 100 experience points consumed by upgrading the two dishes, Longxu Noodles and Xiajin Silver Noodles, to the first level, I currently have 260 experience points."

"These 100 experience points helped me earn yuan in cash and also improved my salary. I will get an extra yuan a month and a brand new bicycle."

Wang Jianye summed up and found that he had gained a lot today.

"Tomorrow, I will follow Master Zhou and the others to find Master Luo. After Master Luo accepts me as his apprentice, I will inherit the sixty-year-old yeast in his hand. Then I will separate a part of the old yeast and sell it to Master Zhou to compensate Master Bai for his losses. I should be able to make a lot of money."

Wang Jianye did not intend to ask for money, but wanted to make a request so that he could arrange for a few more apprentices to enter Fengze Garden as apprentices.

This way, his apprentices will have sufficient ingredients and opportunities to practice.

As a master, he can also gain more experience points from this.

These days, his apprentice Chen Xiaoyang came to the kitchen to study seriously, which provided him with a lot of experience points.

In the past, he could only get 60 experience points a day at most, and that was when he was very tired.

Now that he has Chen Xiaoyang as his apprentice, the experience points he gains every day are around 70, and he is not that tired. It is much easier than before when he could only gain the most experience points at once.

……

the next day.

After Wang Jianye had breakfast, he asked Chen Xiaoyang to take him to Fengze Garden on his bike.

Chen Xiaoyang is still very proactive and active in practicing knife skills.

After two days of hard work, Chen Xiaoyang's knife skills have improved rapidly.

Compared with ordinary apprentices, they progress faster.

This is partly because Chen Xiaoyang works hard enough and diligence can make up for one's shortcomings.

On the other hand, it is because of the guidance of Wang Jianye, a master of a high enough level.

When he was teaching Chen Xiaoyang, he did his best and basically did not keep anything to himself.

He is not like some chefs who are afraid that teaching their apprentices will starve them to death, so they just do things in a perfunctory manner.

"Master Wang, let's go."

Zhou Qingde found Wang Jianye, with Li Hai beside him.

Zhou Qingde temporarily handed over the kitchen affairs to Master Qian.

Wang Jianye nodded and followed them out of Fengze Garden.

As for Chen Xiaoyang, Wang Jianye did not bring him with him, so let him practice slowly in the kitchen.

After exiting the back door of Fengze Garden, several people rode their bicycles and soon arrived at Master Luo's residence.

This is a three-courtyard courtyard located in the east of the city.

Master Luo lives in the relatively quiet backyard.

He is in his seventies and still in good health.

Although he has no children, he is popular in the courtyard, and many people are willing to help him with some work, such as washing clothes, sweeping the floor and other housework, and some errands, such as buying cabbage for winter storage, buying coal and charcoal, etc.

Wang Jianye followed Zhou Qingde and the others to the backyard.

The sun is shining today and there is no wind.

There were a few old men sitting in the yard, basking in the sun, playing chess, and chatting. Zhou Qingde and Li Hai walked quickly to the old man who was watching people play chess. After introducing themselves, they stated the purpose of their visit: "Master Luo, I will introduce you to an apprentice who is very talented. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Master Luo ignored it, as if he was deaf and didn't hear it.

But Zhou Qingde knew that although Master Luo was old, his ears were still good. He just pretended to be deaf when he heard something he didn't want to hear.

Zhou Qingde waited patiently.

After a long while, Master Luo saw Zhou Qingde following him all the time, so he said impatiently: "Go away, go away."

"Master Luo, the apprentice I found for you has a very strong talent for cooking white cases. After practicing a dish several times, he can reach a very high level. Master Luo, please take a look."

Zhou Qingde pleaded again and again.

Master Luo said dissatisfiedly: "I have already said that I will not accept any disciples. Why are you still pestering me? Go away, go away quickly. I still need to watch others play chess."

"Master Luo, you are the best chef in our city. If you don't accept apprentices, how can you pass on your skills?"

Zhou Qingde said.

Master Luo, however, looked nonchalant, "Humph, if it's lost, then it's lost. What's the big deal?"

Zhou Qingde saw that he could not persuade Master Luo no matter what he did, but he did not want to give up, so he tried to persuade Master Luo a few more times until Master Luo was annoyed and hid in the house.

Wang Jianye and Zhou Qingde stood outside the door. "What should we do?"

For Wang Jianye, it didn't matter that Master Luo was unwilling to give him even a single chance.

After all, if he wanted to learn any dish, he could just use the recipes and experience points to learn it himself. Master Luo couldn't teach him anything at all.

But Zhou Qingde and Li Hai were very unwilling to accept this.

Because they were waiting for the old yeast in Master Luo's hand to compensate Bai Nan.

If Master Luo was unwilling to give Wang Jianye a chance to show his talent, he would not have accepted him.

In this way, Zhou Qingde and the others will have no chance to get the old yeast, and when Bai Nan comes back in eight days, he will definitely not forgive them.

"I have an idea."

Li Hai suddenly thought of it.

Zhou Qingde frowned. Now Master Luo was not willing to give Wang Jianye a chance to test his talent. What other good ideas could he have?

Li Hai continued, "Let's find a family in this courtyard who is close to Master Luo and has a good relationship with him. We can borrow their stove and wait until lunchtime to have Master Wang make a high-quality noodle dish. Then we can have that family help deliver it to Master Luo. This way, Master Luo won't know it was made by us. When he tastes the high-quality noodle dish made by Master Wang, he will definitely want to know who made it. Then when we go over, Master Luo will be willing to see us."

"Great, Master Li. I didn't expect you to have so many ideas."

After hearing Li Hai's idea, Zhou Qingde's eyes lit up. After thinking about it, he felt that this idea might be feasible.

"Let's go, let's find out who has a better relationship with Master Luo and ask for help."

Zhou Qingde, Wang Jianye and Li Hai found out about a household living in the middle courtyard. Their family had lived in this courtyard the longest and had the best relationship with Master Luo. Their children often ran to the backyard to play with Master Luo and often helped Master Luo with housework.

"Aunt Niu, we would like to use your stove to cook a meal for Master Luo..."

Zhou Qingde found the hostess of the house, told her his story, and offered to give her some money. Aunt Niu agreed.

"Aunt Niu, please don't spread this matter yet, and don't let Master Luo know. Thank you."

Zhou Qingde emphasized it again, and Aunt Niu nodded, indicating that she was willing to help.
