Chapter 130: State Banquet-level noodles, the whole family was stunned
Wang Jianye assured Liu Haizhong not to worry, he would definitely prepare the banquet well.

Spicy and sour shredded potatoes, pork stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, braised potato cubes, vinegar-stirred cabbage, dry-pot potatoes, and sweet and sour carp.

This was the menu he and Liu Haizhong had decided on before.

There are five tables, each with six dishes.

Among these dishes, the hot and sour potato shreds, dry pot potato slices, and sweet and sour carp have all reached the level of top chefs.

The other three dishes, pork stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, braised potato cubes, and cabbage with vinegar are all of second-class quality.

The quality of the first-class kitchen food in Fengze Garden is so good that even the rich and powerful who are used to eating delicacies from land and sea would find it delicious, let alone in this courtyard where most people are ordinary people.

Although the level of the second stove is a little lower, it is still relative to the first stove.

If it were served in a smaller restaurant outside, it would be considered a signature dish and would be enough to satisfy the people in this courtyard.

……

The next morning, after getting up and washing up, Wang Jianye went next door to prepare a pot of home-cooked noodles of state banquet quality.

While they were busy, Chen Xiaoyang and Ma Hua found the yard together, entered the gate of the courtyard, first asked Yan Fugui who lived in the front yard where Wang Jianye lived, and then went to the backyard together.

"Dad, who are they?"

Yan Jiecheng came to the yard with a toothbrush and asked Yan Fugui who was washing at the sink.

"He is Wang Jianye's apprentice."

"Ah? Wang Jianye has already accepted two disciples? Why not me? How are they better than me?"

Yan Jiecheng complained sourly.

Yesterday I was reflecting on myself and thinking that I shouldn't have lied, but after a good night's sleep I forgot about it this morning.

How are they better than you? Chen Xiaoyang and Ma Hua are better than you in every way!
……

Wang Jianye was kneading dough at home when two of his apprentices knocked on his door.

"Who is this, so early in the morning?"

Wang Jianwu, who had just gotten up and came into the room, yawned and went over to open the door.

"Brother Chen, it's you."

Wang Jianwu had seen Chen Xiaoyang when he went to the Qianmen courtyard where Wang Jianye had just moved, so he quickly let them in.

"Master, we are here."

"Oh, here we are. Sit down and have a rest for a while. We'll have some noodles later."

Wang Jianye was kneading the dough by himself and didn't need their help with anything.

"Master, I've eaten at home."

"Master, I've eaten too."

Both Chen Xiaoyang and Ma Hua got up early and came after having dinner at home.

"It's okay. We are all grown-up guys. It's okay to eat a little more. We will be very tired in a while."

Wang Jianye gave them a shot of prevention first so that they could be mentally prepared.

In order to prepare the banquet for the Liu family, although Liu Haizhong had found a few vegetable-washing aunties to help him in advance, it was still very busy after all, as he had to cook for so many people.

Not long after, Wang Jianye prepared a large pot of home-cooked noodles of state banquet quality, enough for so many people to eat together.

[Ding, experience value +1]

[Ding, the state-banquet-level homemade noodles made by the host trigger a special effect, adding one day to the lifespan and one minute to the concentration time.]

"Oh? The special effects were triggered? Two of them. Now my family can get these bonuses. They can live one more day and concentrate one more minute. That's great."

Wang Jianye was in a good mood. Wang Jiannan and the others handed him a bowl, and he scooped out all the noodles.

Zhang Lan, Wang Jianye, Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwen, Wang Jianwu, Chen Xiaoyang, and Ma Hua, a total of seven people, so seven bowls of noodles were served.

While Wang Jianye was making and boiling noodles, others were also busy.

Zhang Lan peeled a head of garlic, while Wang Jiannan sat in front of the stove to add charcoal and took out the ash, which Wang Jianwu then poured out.

After Wang Jianye served a bowl, Zhang Lan and Wang Jiannan brought them to the table.

Soon, everyone had a bowl of steaming hot noodles in front of them. Although it was home-cooked, the quality was up to the state banquet level.

Even Fengzeyuan chef Zhou Qingde and Sijiucheng's top white-cooked chef Master Luo, who have eaten it and seen it, said it was delicious, not to mention ordinary people.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Wang Jianye sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks in his hand, and took a bite.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for increasing his lifespan by one day and his concentration time by one minute. ]

"I got these two effects, and they should have gotten them too."

Wang Jianye thought to himself and looked around at everyone.

He had already experienced the taste of this state-banquet-level home-cooked noodles, so he was not surprised.

But for Zhang Lan and her friends, it was the first time they had eaten such delicious noodles.

"Brother, this noodle is delicious."

"How did you do Jianye? It's much better than what I did."

"Is this our master? He can make a simple home-cooked noodle dish so delicious."

"Brother, is there any noodles in the pot?"

"Jianye, teach me, and I will do it for them according to your method in the future."

"The noodles my brother made are so delicious. I would never get tired of eating them every day."

"..."

Wang Jianye answered the doubts of the people on the opposite side with a smile.

Zhang Lan knew how to do it, and thought to herself that she would try it tomorrow, no, tonight.

Wang Jianwu, who had just shouted "Is there any more noodles in the pot?", was disappointed that all the noodles in the pot had been taken out, with not even a drop of soup left.

Wang Jianye watched them all finish their noodles and thought to himself that they had lived one more day and focused one more minute, which was good.

After breakfast.

Wang Jianye brought two apprentices to Liu Haizhong's home in the east wing and began to move necessary items outside the house, such as the stove and chopping board that Liu Haizhong had borrowed in advance.

Wang Jianye worked until 11:30 in the morning and had prepared several large casserole dishes. After they were ready, if there was no room in the pot, he would temporarily put the dishes in the casserole dishes. When it was time to eat, he would put the dishes in the casserole dishes into the pot to heat them up.

The three are at the level of the first stove level, and the three are at the level of the second stove level.

After the food was served, everyone who came to the banquet couldn't wait to start eating.

All three members of the Jia family came, and Jia Zhang specifically picked the meat from the dishes to eat, "Liu Haizhong is so stingy, there is so little meat."

She is disgusted with eating meat, and doesn't even think about how much meat her Jia family bought and put in the banquet some time ago. The food is not even as good as Liu Haizhong's family, but she has the nerve to criticize others.

Jia Dongxu is just like his mother. His mother is right, like mother, like son.

Qin Huairu was not as embarrassed as the other two. After tasting the delicious food, she couldn't help but look at Wang Jianye sitting at another table with admiration, thinking to herself, "Brother Wang is really amazing. The food he cooked is even better than last time."
