Chapter 171 not only successfully reproduced, but also made some improvements
Under Chef Xu's confident gaze, Wang Jianye, Zhou Qingde and Zheng Hao all picked up their chopsticks and tasted the sizzling fried dumplings on their plates.

"what about the taste?"

Chef Xu asked in a show-off manner.

Because this dish, Stir-fried Flowers, was created by his master not long ago and was only taught to him. No one else in the world can make it except him and his master.

"well done."

Zhou Qingde nodded and spoke the truth.

Otherwise, this dish would not have attracted so many customers immediately after it was launched in Cuihualou, affecting the business of Fengzeyuan.

"right."

Chef Xu knows it.

Of course, a dish that my master has spent so much time researching has to be delicious.

"Master Zhou, if you think it's delicious, you can come here often. After all, in the whole city, no, in the whole country, only our Cuihualou can make this dish."

Chef Xu said proudly.

Zhou Qingde looked at Wang Jianye beside him.

Wang Jianye was still tasting the dish carefully. After all, this was his first time eating it. It would be too outrageous if he immediately told Zhou Qingde that he was sure he could make it. So, "Master Xu, let's order another dish of flaming fried flowers, pack it up and take it away, and then go back and enjoy it slowly."

"Okay."

Chef Xu agreed readily. He didn't believe that Wang Jianye could figure out how to make this dish.

"Prepare some ingredients for me to make a scorching hot dish."

After returning to the kitchen, Chef Xu gave instructions to his apprentice.

The apprentice agreed and quickly prepared the ingredients, "Master, why are you making another dish? Is it because the customer is not satisfied with the first one and wants a second one?"

"Humph, they want me to make another one so they can take it back and study how to make it."

Chef Xu snorted.

"Ah?" The apprentice couldn't help but get worried after hearing this. "Then Master, you better not cook it properly for them later. Otherwise, they will take it back and figure out how to make it. Then Fengze Garden will be able to serve this dish just like Cuihualou."

"The recipe for this dish is very complicated. I spent a long time learning from my master before I finally mastered it. They have never seen me cook this dish. It is difficult for them to deduce the recipe based on the finished dish."

Chef Xu didn't believe they could do it.

If they can really make it, then Cuihualou will have to forget about competing with Fengzeyuan. No matter what dish they launch, original or difficult, Fengzeyuan can make it. Then what's the point of Cuihualou? They can just stay second forever.

Just as Chef Xu was busy cooking, in the front hall.

Seeing that there was no one from Cuihualou around, Zhou Qingde couldn't help but ask Wang Jianye: "Master Wang, do you think this dish is easy to cook?"

Wang Jianye shook his head. "It's not easy to make. Chef Xu made the dish to this level, so the steps must be quite complicated."

"That……"

Zhou Qingde couldn't help but feel disappointed. Is it possible that even Master Wang is no match for him this time?

Zheng Hao was also full of worries. If Master Wang couldn’t make this dish, how would Fengzeyuan deal with it?
"But I can try to study it. Maybe it will work."

Wang Jianye continued, giving the two a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, Master Wang, please try your best to figure out the recipe. If you need any help, just let me know. We have so many chefs in the kitchen, I will ask them to cooperate with you."

Zhou Qingde said seriously. As long as this dish can be developed, Cuihualou will lose its competitiveness with Fengzeyuan.

Only then can Fengzeyuan, the reputation as the ceiling of Shandong cuisine in this city, be more stable.

Not long after, Chef Xu brought a plate of stir-fried fried flowers that he had just made.

Wang Jianye took out an aluminum lunch box that he had prepared long ago and put the dishes into it.

After Zheng Hao paid the bill, Zhou Qingde said goodbye to Chef Xu.

Chef Xu was not worried at all that the other party could develop this dish, and he was even showing off, "Remember, if you want to eat the hot and spicy fried flowers, come to our Cuihua Restaurant, you are always welcome."

……

Zhou Qingde, Wang Jianye and Zheng Hao returned to the kitchen of Fengze Garden.

Wang Jianye opened the aluminum lunch box, and immediately the aroma of the dish wafted through the kitchen, attracting many chefs.

"Is this the Cuihualou's fiery flower?" Master Qian asked curiously.

Zhou Qingde nodded, "Yes, this is the new dish that Cuihualou has introduced."

Master Qian took the chopsticks and took a bite. It was delicious, but he frowned. "No wonder Cuihualou's business has been much better these past two days. This dish is really delicious. In the whole city, only Cuihualou can make it. If customers want to eat this dish, they can only go there..."

"We can't go on like this." Master Qian was worried.

Fengze Garden firmly holds the top spot in the list of Shandong cuisine in the city of Chongqing, while Cuihualou ranks below Fengze Garden and constantly challenges Fengze Garden's position.

Although Cuihualou now has only one dish that Fengzeyuan cannot make, it can still compete with Fengzeyuan and have a little impact on Fengzeyuan's business.

However, Fengzeyuan cannot be ignored. The best way is for Fengzeyuan to introduce the same dishes, so that Cuihualou will lose its little competitiveness and be completely suppressed by Fengzeyuan.

Master Qian looked at Wang Jianye and placed his hopes on him.

In the past month or two, Master Wang has demonstrated his amazing talent and has accomplished one thing after another that these chefs dared not even think of.

This time, can Master Wang lead Fengzeyuan to make another charge and continue to be far ahead?
Wang Jianye gave the answer with practical actions, which is... yes.

It took him more than two hours to replicate this fiery burning flower.

"Master Zhou, Master Qian, come and have a taste."

After hearing Wang Jianye's words, Zhou Qingde and Master Qian came over impatiently.

"Is this ready so quickly?"

“They look exactly the same.”

"..."

The two were very surprised. Comparing the stir-fried shredded pork made by Wang Jianye with the stir-fried shredded pork made by Chef Xu of Cuihualou, there was almost no difference in appearance.

What about the flavor and taste?
The two of them didn't even use chopsticks, they were so anxious that they just reached out and grabbed one to taste.

Then they were all stunned and said in disbelief: "Master Wang, how come the fried flowers you made are even better than those made at Cuihualou!"

Wang Jianye smiled and said, "Because what they made is not perfect, there is still some room for improvement. As for me, I just improved the parts of the dish that needed improvement, that's all."

The stir-fried shredded pork made by Chef Xu of Cuihualou is only at the chef level, but the stir-fried shredded pork made by Wang Jianye just now has reached the higher level of a state banquet.
