Chapter 174 Reward: A Complete Set of New Furniture

People are willing to believe what they want to believe.

Chef Xu is no exception.

After hearing what Wang Jianye said, Chef Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that this dish was only developed by Wang Jianye himself, and he made improvements in just one afternoon.

In this case, Wang Jianye's talent is too terrifying. With Wang Jianye's Fengze Garden, no one can defeat it.

Because no matter what dishes you launch, no matter how secretive you keep them, they can be easily replicated by Wang Jianye. Our restaurant can make the dishes that your restaurant can make, and we can make them even better. However, your restaurant may not be able to make the dishes that our restaurant can make, so you will definitely lose customers.

But now, Chef Xu heard that the method of roasting flowers with hot fire that was developed by Fengzeyuan was not the work of Wang Jianye alone, but the result of the joint efforts of all the chefs.

Chef Xu felt very fortunate. He was fortunate that although Wang Jianye's talent was good, it was not to such an incredible level and was still within an acceptable range.

Otherwise, they should just not open Cuihualou and close it down earlier...

"Fortunately."

"Master Xu, what did you say?"

Zhou Qingde didn't hear clearly what Chef Xu muttered just now.

"Oh nothing."

After Chef Xu came to his senses, he looked at Wang Jianye longingly. It would be great if a talent like this could go to their Cuihua Tower.

Zhou Qingde saw the desire in Chef Xu's eyes, so he quietly stood in front of Wang Jianye and said, "Hey, Chef Wang, don't you have something to do in the kitchen?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll go back first then."

Wang Jianye understood what he meant and returned to the kitchen.

Chef Xu looked at Zhou Qingde with envy: "Old Zhou, you Fengze Garden are so lucky. Master Wang came here as an apprentice and now he has become a talented person. He has helped your Fengze Garden's business to improve a lot..."

"In fact, Master Wang first went to your Cuihua Tower, but the people there refused to accept him, so Master Wang had no choice but to come to us."

Zhou Qingde talked about the past, which Wang Jianye had talked about with him when they were drinking before.

"What?!!"

Chef Xu’s eyes widened.

Master Wang, the person he had been longing to poach at great cost, actually wanted to come to their Cuihua Tower to be an apprentice, but they did not accept him?

What about this? !

Which bastard did this? !
Chef Xu was heartbroken. Such a great talent had been missed by their Cuihualou.

Chef Xu was so angry that he held the table and said, "Chef Zhou, are you sure this is true?!"

Zhou Qingde nodded and said with a smile: "It's true. Master Wang told me that he wanted to be an apprentice at Cuihualou, but the people there thought he was stupid and didn't want him, so he had no choice but to come to us."

Do not! ! !
Chef Xu was wailing inwardly, feeling extremely regretful.

If Wang Jianye had been an apprentice at Cuihua Tower, he would be the one who is proud today.

"Let's go back."

Chef Xu could no longer stay in Fengze Garden. He wanted to go back and investigate who had chased away Master Wang who wanted to be an apprentice at Cuihualou, causing Cuihualou to miss out on such a talented Master Wang.

Manager Zhang paid for the food and was about to leave.

Zhou Qingde smiled at the two and tried to persuade them to stay: "Hey! Are you leaving now? Why don't you stay for a while?"

The two ignored him. Zhou Qingde was in a good mood and left the front hall humming a little tune.

However, he did not go directly back to the kitchen lounge, but came to the manager's office.

I told the manager about what happened in the past two days and said that I had to give Master Wang more money.

Zhou Qingde felt a little panicked when he saw Chef Xu's eager eyes looking at Master Wang. He was afraid that Chef Xu would poach Master Wang. Then Fengze Garden would lose a big advantage, while Cuihualou would gain a big advantage. With these two trends, it is possible that Cuihualou would surpass Fengze Garden and become the ceiling of Shandong cuisine in Beijing.

So, you have to pay more.

After hearing this, Manager Zheng Hao also realized the necessity of giving Wang Jianye more money, so he and Zhou Qingde went to the boss Jiang Rongqing's office to talk about this.

After some discussion, Jiang Rongqing made a decision, "Find the best carpenter in the city to build a new set of furniture for Master Wang's home. Don't be afraid to spend money, the furniture must be the best. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I'll do it."

"Then I'll go back and tell Master Wang."

Zheng Hao and Zhou Qingde left the boss' office and went about their respective business.

Zhou Qingde returned to the kitchen and found Wang Jianye who was teaching his apprentice. "Master Wang, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

Wang Jianye asked curiously.

Zhou Qingde smiled and said, "That's right. In view of your contribution, Master Wang, our boss decided to find the best carpenter in the city to build a brand new set of furniture with 24 legs for you, Master Wang."

"Huh? Is this appropriate?"

Wang Jianye was very happy to hear the good news.

After all, the furniture in his courtyard house at No. 11 Qianmen was either second-hand from a commission store or cheaply purchased from a furniture store.

At that time, when Wang Jianye was buying furniture, he had no money, so he could only make do with what he had, thinking that when he was about to get married, he would find a carpenter to make him a set of twenty-four legs.

The twenty-four legs include a large cabinet (four legs), a dining table (four legs), a tall and low cabinet (four legs), a dressing table (four legs), and two chairs (eight legs).

Nowadays, if a family can get all of these, it would be considered quite good.

As for the three turns and one ring, they became popular in weddings later on. Now most people don't have these at home.

The popular wedding item nowadays is the Four-in-One Project, which includes a thermos, a double bed, an enamel basin, a spittoon, and preferably twenty-four legs.

"That's perfect, Master Wang, you deserve all of this."

Zhou Qingde said this with a smile, speaking from his heart.

Master Wang is a rare talent for Fengzeyuan. This kind of talent must be seized. If you don’t cherish him, someone else may cherish him for you, which would be a pity.

After Zhou Qingde left.

Chen Xiaoyang's disciples looked at Wang Jianye enviously, "Master, how much is a set of twenty-four legs worth?"

"It depends on the type of wood you use and the carpenter you hire. It will probably cost you more than 100 yuan."

Wang Jianye thought for a while and said, it is basically the salary that an ordinary worker saves for half a year without eating or drinking.

"Is it so valuable? Our boss is so kind to you, Master."

Ma Hua said enviously, when will he be given a complete set of twenty-four legs...
