Chapter 151 The chef is here, there is an important banquet
The next day, Wang Jianye came to work as usual.

When Bai Nan saw him coming, he came over and said, "Master Wang, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What's going on?"

Wang Jianye looked at him curiously, took off the shoulder bag he was carrying and put it in the lounge.

"Master Wang, I have learned the homemade noodles you taught me before, but no matter how I try, it is not as good as yours. It is just a little bit short. I really don't know how to improve that little bit. Master Wang, can you help me take a look and give me some suggestions?"

Bai Nan said pleadingly, looking at Wang Jianye expectantly.

"Okay, make one and I'll help you take a look."

Wang Jianye agreed readily.

Bai Nan was very grateful, "Thank you, Master Wang. I will do it right away."

So Wang Jianye followed Bai Nan to Bai Nan's workbench and watched Bai Nan start by kneading the dough and gradually make a dish of home-cooked boiled noodles.

During this period, Wang Jianye saw that there was no problem, and every step Bai Nan took was steady and solid.

But after the noodles were put into the pot, Wang Jianye noticed a problem and pointed it out to him.

After Bai Nan understood, he suddenly realized, "I understand, Master Wang!"

Bai Nan excitedly started to do another step. This time he did it very carefully and finally there were no more problems.

Soon, a bowl of homemade boiled noodles was made. Bai Nan nervously offered the bowl and chopsticks, "Master Wang, please try it."

Wang Jianye took a bite, carefully savored the taste of the noodles, and nodded, "Not bad, basically the same level as the home-cooked noodles I made before."

"Really?! That's great, Master Wang. Thank you so much!!"

Bai Nan was ecstatic. He had been troubled by a bottleneck for many days and couldn't figure out what the problem was. But after asking Wang Jianye for help, he immediately discovered the problem that he had been unable to find.

This is the gap between him and Wang Jianye.

"Congratulations, Master Bai. This homemade noodle dish can be your signature dish."

Wang Jianye said with a smile.

Bai Nan nodded excitedly and gratefully: "Thank you, Master Wang. Thanks to your guidance, otherwise it would not be so easy for me to improve my level of cooking."

Wang Jianye smiled and waved his hand, "Master Bai, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a small favor."

Bai Nan said quickly: "Master Wang, in your eyes, it may be just a casual suggestion, helping me a little, but to me, your help is too important. I really thank you very much. If you need me in the future, just tell me. I, Bai Nan, will do my best to help you."

"No, no, no."

"Very serious." Bai Nan was very serious and didn't mean to joke at all. "Master Wang, I'm speaking from the heart. I owe you a favor."

"Master Bai, if you feel you owe me a favor, then please do me a favor."

"What favor do you want to help me with? I'll do my best to help you."

Bai Nan said seriously.

Wang Jianye smiled and said, "Master Bai, I don't want you to risk anything. I just want you to keep an eye out for me. Are there any good talents? I want to take them in as my apprentice, and they'll be famous."

"I understand, Master Wang. I will definitely help you look for it."

Bai Nan nodded seriously. It was not easy for him to do something for Wang Jianye. He had to seize the opportunity and get it done. It could be regarded as a way to repay Wang Jianye's kindness in teaching him.

……

Wang Jianye was busy in the kitchen until after seven o'clock in the evening, and there were basically no customers in Fengze Garden.

"I gained 138 experience points today. Adding them together, my total experience points have reached 739 points, which is quite a lot."

Wang Jianye gave orders to the system to upgrade all of his 11 dishes of chef-level to the state banquet level.

[……] Following a series of system prompts, Wang Jianye instantly consumed 539 experience points and mastered 11 state-banquet-level dishes.

[Experience value: 200]

【Recipe: 2】

【厨艺：国宴级（20道）、大厨级（0道）、头灶级（0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 (0.1), increase IQ by one point (0.01), increase strength by one pound (0.01), increase concentration time by one minute (0.01)]

[The probability of triggering special effects can be increased: 11 times]

【…】

"I now have mastered 20 state-banquet-level dishes. I only have 80 dishes left to achieve my goal, which will be completed soon."

Wang Jianye has an idea of ​​his own speed of improvement.

Then, the probability of triggering special effects can be increased and all the times are added to the special effect of [Add one day to life]. In an instant, the probability of triggering the special effect [Add one day to life] is increased from 0.1 to 0.21, doubling the probability.

"This should make it easier to trigger."

Wang Jianye was very satisfied and felt that his hard work over the past few days was worth it.

……

……

Fengzeyuan has two chefs in charge, Yang Shangning and Xia Hongjun.

If a senior leader entertains guests at Fengze Garden, they will be the ones to cook. Normally, they are not needed to cook and do not need to come.

At around ten o'clock the next morning, Yang Shangning rarely came to the kitchen of Fengze Garden. He was accompanied by Zhou Qingde to the lounge. "Master Yang, thank you for your hard work today. We have an important banquet in Fengze Garden and need you to personally prepare it."

"Ah."

Yang Shangning just hummed and didn't say much. He had experienced this kind of situation many times before and was used to it.

After Zhou Qingde arranged for Yang Shangning, he asked someone by his side, "Has Qiao Jianliang returned?"

Qiao Jianliang was sent by him to ask for help from another chef, Xia Hongjun. Now the people who went to ask Yang Shangning have returned, but there is no movement from Qiao Jianliang.

Zhou Qingde became a little anxious.

Because the banquet menu has been decided, some of the dishes are those that Yang Shangning is proficient in, and there are also a few that Xia Hongjun is very good at.

Now Master Yang Shangning has arrived, but Master Xia Hongjun has not come yet. Zhou Qingde is very anxious. He asks others again and again, and asks Qiao Jianliang to tell him if he comes back.

There are several big dishes in the banquet, which take a long time to prepare, so we have to start preparing early.

After resting for a while in the lounge, Yang Shangning got up and went to his stove.

This stove belongs to him alone, and he is not allowed to use it even if he is not in the kitchen.

The placement of each seasoning, the direction of the stove, etc. are all what Yang Shangning is most comfortable with and no changes are allowed.

Otherwise, Yang Shangning would lose his temper. When this old man gets angry, he will really curse at people.

Moreover, Zhou Qingde, Manager Zheng Hao, and even the owner of Fengzeyuan Restaurant all had to be served carefully and no one dared to offend them.

After all, Master Yang Shangning is the head chef of Fengze Garden. His cooking skills are superb and the dishes he makes are of state banquet level. It is difficult for others to make these dishes to the same level as him, so he has an irreplaceable position in the kitchen and everyone has to be polite to him.

In addition to his bad temper, Master Yang Shangning also has a rule that he does not allow others to get within three meters of him while he is cooking.

It is said that it will affect his performance, but in fact many people are saying that this is because Master Yang Shangning is afraid that other people will learn how to cook.
