Chapter 136: First meeting Lou Xiao'e, what a great big brother

"This dish was made by Master Wang Jianye, what's wrong?"

Zhou Qingde asked quickly.

If there really was something wrong with the food, he would have to apologize to the customer. This was how he had to resolve the issue for important customers.

Xu Youliang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Zhou. It's not that there is something wrong with the dish, but Boss Lou thought the dish was good, so he asked me who made it and asked him to make another one."

Hearing Xu Youliang's words, Zhou Qingde breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll go tell Master Wang and ask him to make another dish and then have him deliver it personally. By the way, which box is Boss Lou in?"

"Boss Lou is still in the same box as before, please hurry up."

After Xu Youliang finished speaking, he left the kitchen.

Zhou Qingde found Wang Jianye and said, "Master Wang, the customer said that your spicy and sour potato shreds are good, so I want you to make another one. When you are done, just send it to the Huazihao box."

Wang Jianye agreed.

Soon, another dish of spicy and sour potato shreds of state-banquet quality was served.

[Ding, experience value +1]

No special effects were triggered this time. Well, how can every step be triggered? After all, the probability is so low.

Wang Jianye served the dishes and brought them to the Huazihao private room.

When Xu Youliang saw him, he came over and said, "Master Wang, I'll take you there."

Then, Xu Youliang took Wang Jianye into the Huazihao private room and introduced him to Boss Lou who was sitting in the main seat: "Boss Lou, this is the chef Wang Jianye who made this spicy and sour potato shreds that I just told you about."

"Huh? So young?"

Boss Lou was surprised when he saw Wang Jianye's young appearance of only about 20 years old.

He originally thought that Master Wang, who could make such delicious spicy and sour potato shreds, must be at least thirty years old to have reached such a high level, but he did not expect that Wang Jianye was so young.

"Boss Lou, I'm twenty years old."

Wang Jianye smiled, and then noticed the little girl who was looking at him curiously with a pair of big watery eyes - wasn't that Lou Xiaoe?

Although Lou Xiao'e is only ten years old now, Wang Jianye recognized her at once, because this little girl looks exactly like Lou Xiao'e when she grows up, except that she is a little immature.

After taking a look, Wang Jianye looked away and did not stare at the girl like a bad uncle.

"You're only 20 years old, and you can make this spicy and sour potato shreds so delicious. I've eaten this dish in many restaurants in Beijing, but none of them are as delicious as yours. The dish you make in your kitchen is also the best, right?"

Lou Bancheng looked at the young man in front of him with approval.

Xu Youliang was surprised at what Lou Bancheng said, that the spicy and sour potato shreds made by Master Wang were so delicious.

There had been customers who asked him to call the chef before, but he had never said that the dish he cooked was the best in the entire city.

Moreover, Xu Youliang knew that Lou Bancheng was a wealthy and powerful person, and had seen many dishes of spicy and sour potato shreds made by many chefs. He said that he had eaten this dish in many restaurants and none of them were as delicious as Wang Jianye's, which showed how much he recognized it.

Xu Youliang has worked in Fengze Garden for so many years and has never encountered such a thing, but Wang Jianye is the first!
"There are many talented chefs in our kitchen. I am far from being good enough."

Wang Jianye said modestly.

Seeing this modest and polite young man, Lou Bancheng liked him very much. After praising him for a few times, he asked Wang Jianye if there were any other dishes that could be as good as this spicy and sour potato shreds. "This spicy and sour potato shreds is the best dish I make now. Other dishes are not as good as this one."

Wang Jianye speaks the truth.

At present, he only has two dishes that are at the state banquet level: hot and sour shredded potatoes and homemade boiled noodles. The other dishes are not yet at the state banquet level. However, if he is given some more time, he will definitely be able to master more and more dishes at the state banquet level.

After hearing what Wang Jianye said, Lou Bancheng was a little disappointed. He thought that Wang Jianye could cook several dishes as good as the spicy and sour potato shreds. In this way, when he invites friends to Fengze Garden for dinner next time, he can order a few more dishes that Wang Jianye can cook.

But when he thought about Wang Jianye's age of only 20, Lou Bancheng felt relieved. Many chefs who have been cooking for 20 years may not be able to make a dish as high-quality as Wang Jianye's spicy and sour potato shreds. How could he expect Wang Jianye to master several dishes of the same level at such a young age? That was unrealistic.

After asking Wang Jianye a few questions, he let Wang Jianye go back to work.

When paying the bill after dinner, Lou Bancheng took out five more yuan and told Xu Youliang, "The hot and sour potato shreds made by Master Wang are very good. My daughter and the kids all enjoyed them very much. This money is my tip to Master Wang. Please pass it to him for me, Xu."

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to you."

Xu Youliang said respectfully.

Qin Huairu, who was waiting outside the door to go in and clean the table, was very surprised when she saw this scene. What a generous customer! He actually gave Brother Wang a five-dollar tip, which was almost as much as her salary for several days... Brother Wang is really awesome.

Xu Youliang came to the kitchen and looked around but didn't see Wang Jianye, so he went to Zhou Qingde and said, "Master Zhou, please do me a favor and give this money to Master Wang. This is a tip from Boss Lou."

Zhou Qingde took the money and agreed.

Not seeing Wang Jianye in the kitchen, Zhou Qingde gave the money to Wang Jianye's master Chai Wenshan.

When Chai Wenshan heard that this was a tip from a customer to his apprentice Wang Jianye, he was extremely envious. He had worked at Fengze Garden for many years and had never received a tip from a customer. However, his apprentice Wang Jianye had only been cooking for less than a month, and a customer already appreciated Wang Jianye's cooking and gave him a tip...

"Jianye, this money is for you."

After Wang Jianye returned to the kitchen, Chai Wenshan handed over the money.

This confused Wang Jianye, "What's wrong, Master?"

"This is the tip that Boss Lou asked Xu Youliang to give you. Take it."

Chai Wenshan said sourly.

When Wang Jianye heard that it was a tip for him, he reached out to take it. It was five dollars in total. He was really generous.

Chen Xiaoyang and Ma Hua, who were busy practicing sword skills, couldn't help but turn their heads to take a look after hearing that their master had received a tip.

“It seems to be five dollars!”

"What kind of family is this to give our master so much money?"

"It's great to be a chef. We can get tips for cooking well. It's great."

"Only people of our master's level can get such a big tip. Other masters can't get so much."

"Our master is really capable."

"Yes."
