Chapter 145: Improvement! Mastering Nine State Banquet-level Dishes

Wang Jianye said this to make his family happy and to reassure them.

I'm doing well at Fengze Garden, so you don't have to worry.

"Mom, here are the twenty dollars for you. It's my living expenses for the family this month."

Wang Jianye took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket. This was the twenty yuan he had prepared in advance.

"Oh, why are you giving me so much? You don't need so much money. You still need to save it for spending."

Zhang Lan has not changed her mind yet and is unwilling to accept the money given by Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye then advised, "Mom, have you forgotten what I just told you? I have a dish that has become my signature dish. I can get a share of the profits every day. My monthly bonus has increased by 15 yuan. When the salary is paid next month, I can get a bonus of 90 yuan.
So, you can use this money for household expenses, buy them three new clothes, and add more oil to the meals at home. They are all growing up, so it would be good to prepare some delicious food so that they can have enough food. "

"Then... I'll keep it."

Zhang Lan thought this made sense, so she took it.

Looking at the banknotes in her hand, Zhang Lan couldn't help but sigh: "Since you have become successful, our family's life has become better and better."

Wang Jiannan smiled happily and said, "Thank you, brother. I can finally have new clothes to wear."

"It's not New Year's Day, why should I wear new clothes?" Zhang Lan felt sorry for the money.

Wang Jiannan said "oh" somewhat unhappily.

Wang Jianye advised, "Mom, just buy them some new clothes. Look at what they are wearing. They have been patched up for years. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Your son is very capable of making money now. If this money is not enough, I will give you more. I will be responsible for buying new clothes for the three siblings. That's what I said."

"it is good."

Seeing Wang Jianye's repeated insistence, Zhang Lan nodded and agreed. At the same time, she felt very relieved. In the future, she would not have to carry the burden of life at home alone. Her eldest son would be able to share most of it for her, which was good.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

Wang Jiannan was still very attentive when she was happy. She was the first one among her siblings to notice that her mother's eyes were wet.

"Oh, I'm fine."

Zhang Lan smiled and wiped her eyes. "Tomorrow is the weekend. Mom doesn't have to go to work. I'll go to the store to buy some cloth and cotton, and make new clothes for you when I get home."

"That's great mom, I want to go with you tomorrow."

Wang Jiannan said, holding Zhang Lan's arm.

"Okay, okay, let's go shopping together."

Zhang Lan said with a smile.

Seeing his family so happy, Wang Jianye felt that his work and his efforts during this period were very meaningful.

Isn't the purpose of making money to make your family live better and happier?

"Mom, after you buy the cloth and cotton, who are you going to make new clothes for first?"

Wang Jiannan held Zhang Lan's arm and looked at her eagerly. Her meaning was obvious: she wanted to put on her new clothes first.

"Is there any need to ask? I'll definitely do it for your eldest brother first."

Zhang Lan said as a matter of course.

Wang Jiannan said, "What about the second one? Who will it be for?"

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "For your sister, she is studying in a university outside, so of course she has to dress nicely."

"Oh, then the third one should be me, right?"

Wang Jiannan blinked, as if she would cry if the third one was not her.

"You are the third one. I will make clothes for you in order of age so that you won't be unbalanced." As a mother, Zhang Lan has to consider the children's thoughts when making clothes for them. She can't let them feel dissatisfied in their hearts. It's not easy.

"How long do I have to wait?"

Wang Jiannan pouted and waited for Zhang Lan to coax her.

"Well, making clothes is quick. As long as you have fabric and cotton, you can make one in a week or so, and you can wear it in half a month or so."

Zhang Lan comforted them by saying that she would work overtime and stay up late to make the new clothes as soon as possible so as not to make her children wait anxiously.

Wang Jiannan was coaxed and nodded happily, and couldn't wait for the day when her new clothes would be ready so that she could have new clothes to wear.

The two boys, Wang Jianwen and Wang Jianwu, were also very happy about the fact that they were going to have new clothes to wear. After all, every child likes Chinese New Year because they can wear new clothes, eat candies and dumplings, and play with firecrackers.

Wang Jianye thought that the twenty yuan was definitely not enough to buy new clothes for his family of six.

"In the next few days, I will introduce a few more signature dishes, so that I can make more money. Before I get paid, I will use the money to make new clothes for my family."

After thinking it over, Wang Jianye opened his personal panel in his mind.

[Experience value: 555]

【Recipe: 2】

【厨艺：国宴级（2道）、大厨级（0道）、头灶级（18道）、二灶级（58道）、三灶级（50道）……】

[Special effects that can be triggered by state banquet-level dishes: Increase lifespan by one day (0.03), increase IQ by one point (0.01), increase strength by one pound (0.01), increase concentration time by one minute (0.01)]

【…】

"To upgrade a first-class chef's dish to a state banquet's dish, 49 experience points are needed. I currently have over experience points. If I use them all, it will be enough to upgrade first-class chef's dishes to the state banquet's dish level."

"Of course, I can't use it all. I have to keep 200 experience points to deal with various special situations that may occur. So I can only use 350 experience points, which is enough to upgrade the seven chef-level dishes to the state banquet level..."

Having made up his mind, Wang Jianye ordered the system: "System, upgrade these... seven dishes to the state banquet level."

[Ding, a certain dish (first-class level 51+) has been successfully upgraded after spending 49 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering a certain dish (state banquet level 100+)] X7
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the probability of triggering special effects. The number of times can be increased by +7]

As a series of prompts sounded in his mind, Wang Jianye instantly mastered seven state-banquet-level dishes.

Other chefs may not be able to prepare a dish to the level of a state banquet in their entire life, but he only needs enough experience and can realize it instantly with just a thought.

"System, open my personal panel for me."

[Experience value: 212]

【Recipe: 2】

[The probability of triggering special effects can be increased: 7 times]

【…】

"I now have mastered nine state-banquet-level dishes. That's great."

Wang Jianye is very clear about his current cooking skills. Having mastered nine state-banquet-level dishes, he is definitely ranked among the top among the many master chefs in Fengze Garden.

When he goes to work tomorrow, he will go find Zhou Qingde and tell him that he can make many dishes of the same quality as the spicy and sour shredded potatoes. This way, many of his dishes can become signature dishes, and he can earn more money.

"There are seven chances to increase the probability of triggering special effects. Let's use them. System, add these seven chances to the effect of [Increase Lifespan by One Day]!"

After Wang Jianye gave the system the command in his mind, the probability of triggering the special effect [Add one day to lifespan] changed from 0.03 to 0.1. "One in ten triggering probability... Now the state banquet-level dishes I make should be more likely to trigger the special effect [Add one day to lifespan]."
