Chapter 16 Continuous Progress
After a while, Wang Jianye took the stir-fried pork tenderloin out of the pot, put it on a plate and brought it to the table.

[Ding, experience value +5]

"I didn't cook this dish very well. Masters, please try it, Brother Cao. If you can, give me some suggestions. I will continue to improve it."

Wang Jianye brought a few pairs of chopsticks and handed them to Chai Wenshan, Sun Qu and Cao Xiaodong.

Chai Wenshan took a bite and then frowned. This stir-fried shredded pork tenderloin dish was really entry-level, just as he thought.

When Sun Qu saw Wang Jianye cooking this dish, he also realized that Wang Jianye was not very skilled at it and the dish would definitely not taste good.

But at this moment he still picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, if for no other reason, just to find out how bad the dish was.

After tasting it, Sun Qu was completely relieved.

Based on his years of experience in training apprentices, with Wang Jianye's current level, it is impossible for him to improve to the level of a cook within a week.

In other words, if Wang Jianye draws this dish during the assessment a week later, he will definitely not pass the test.

Moreover, Sun Qu also heard that Wang Jianye did not cook only this one dish poorly, but also several other dishes poorly. Adding these together, the possibility of Wang Jianye passing the assessment became lower and lower.

"Master Chai, please speak first."

Sun Qu looked at Chai Wenshan, feeling very proud.

Chai Wenshan frowned and said, "Jianye, your dish is not well cooked. There are a few issues that need more practice. First, the tenderloin is not tender enough and is a little overcooked. Second, ..."

Chai Wenshan raised several questions in a row.

Wang Jianye accepted it sincerely and nodded: "I understand, Master. I will improve it next time and try to avoid these problems."

After Chai Wenshan finished speaking, he looked at Sun Qu again and said, "Master Sun, do you have anything to add?"

"No, I think the same as you. Your apprentice needs to practice these points carefully. Otherwise, if he draws this dish during the assessment, he will be at a loss."

After Sun Qu finished speaking, Cao Xiaodong on the side continued: "Wang Jianye, I have also noticed these problems. When you do it again later, I will check them one by one for you."

"Oh, then thank you, Brother Cao."

Wang Jianye is very grateful to Cao Xiaodong.

Then he looked at Chai Wenshan again, "Master, I will do it again."

"Well, continue practicing. Remember the points I just told you and make some adjustments."

"Eh."

Wang Jianye responded.

I secretly gave the system an order: "Add all the five experience points I just gained to the stir-fried shredded pork tenderloin dish."

[Ding, Stir-fried Pork Tenderloin (Entry Level 2+) has been upgraded successfully after spending 5 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Stir-fried Pork Tenderloin (Experience Level 7+). ]

A prompt sound rang in my mind.

Wang Jianye instantly understood the shortcomings that Chai Wenshan had pointed out to him, and he could also see them.

"With my current level, if I were to cook this dish again, I would definitely be more skilled. I should be able to avoid some of the points my master just told me."

Wang Jianye started to clean the pot, cut the meat, then heated the oil in the pot and adjusted the few shortcomings according to what Chai Wenshan told him.

During this process, Cao Xiaodong on the side was also telling him how to improve and how to do better.

"Yes, that's right." Cao Xiaodong felt that Wang Jianye was very talented. With just some pointers from him, Wang Jianye could make corrections in time. If he continued in this way, Wang Jianye would definitely make rapid progress.

Chai Wenshan was surprised to see that Wang Jianye was doing better and better under the guidance of himself and Cao Xiaodong, and began to look at Wang Jianye's talent with admiration.

After all, as his master, he knows best what Wang Jianye was like in the past. He couldn't learn anything and it was difficult for him to do anything. He had to practice for a long time otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Other people’s apprentices only need a few days to learn a dish, but Wang Jianye needs a week or so to learn it. The gap is too big.

Of course, the other apprentice he used for comparison was Cao Xiaodong.

In the past, when Chai Wenshan compared Wang Jianye with Cao Xiaodong, Wang Jianye was inferior in every way.

But now, Chai Wenshan feels that Wang Jianye is definitely getting his bearings, and his talent is getting better and better.

He just said it so simply, and Wang Jianye was able to learn it quickly and do it well.

Chai Wenshan watched Wang Jianye busying himself with satisfaction.

Then he looked around, where was Sun Qu?
He wanted to call Sun Qu over to see how fast my apprentice learned.

It’s a pity that no one knows where Sun Qu is.

Chai Wenshan watched Wang Jianye prepare the improved stir-fried pork tenderloin. After tasting it, he nodded with satisfaction: "Great, this dish is much better than the previous one."

After praising him, Chai Wenshan felt a little empty inside. Since Sun Qu was not here, he couldn't show off to him. What a pity.

After tasting it, Cao Xiaodong beside him couldn't help but nod his head: "You've made great progress."

"Thank you, Master, and Brother Cao, but my cooking is still not up to par. I need to work harder. Master, Brother Cao, do you think my cooking is lacking? I'll make the most of my time to practice."

Wang Jianye was very happy that others recognized his cooking.

If a cook wants to cook delicious food, he must know how to eat and be able to tell what is good and what is bad.

Chai Wenshan, the second chef who has worked in Fengzeyuan for many years, has made this dish of stir-fried shredded pork tenderloin countless times and has very rich experience.

After tasting it carefully, he gave a few suggestions.

Wang Jianye nodded, then looked at Cao Xiaodong beside him.

Although Cao Xiaodong is not as experienced and perceptive as Chai Wenshan, as the most talented apprentice in the kitchen of Fengze Garden, his cooking skills for this dish have reached the level of a third-class chef.

So he was able to see some problems and told Wang Jianye without reservation which areas needed improvement.

In fact, the shortcomings are similar to those mentioned by Chai Wenshan.

Wang Jianye listened to their suggestions and secretly gave the system an order to add all the four experience points he had just gained to the stir-fried shredded pork tenderloin.

[Ding, Stir-fried Pork Tenderloin (Experience Level 7+) has been upgraded successfully after spending 4 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering Stir-fried Pork Tenderloin (Experience Level 11+). ]

From proficiency level 7+ to proficiency level 11+, although Wang Jianye's level of cooking this dish has not improved significantly, his understanding has increased.

Before the extra point, Wang Jianye actually didn't quite understand the improvement suggestions given by Chai Wenshan and Cao Xiaodong.

But after the extra point, Wang Jianye suddenly understood what they were talking about and knew how to improve and how to adjust.

"Thanks to this cooking skill point-adding system, otherwise if I want to improve my cooking skills, I can only rely on myself to practice little by little, which takes too long. Now it's so good, I can easily add points and improve my cooking skills easily. It doesn't take any effort at all, and it saves time."

Wang Jianye was very happy when he saw his rapid progress.
