Chapter 198 Chef Xu: Over and over again, is this ever going to end?!
In addition to the head waiter in the front hall who was aware of how popular Fengze Garden was at the moment, the head chef Zhou Qingde in the kitchen was also very aware of how popular Fengze Garden was today.

Because all the orders sent by the waiters in the front hall to the kitchen have to go through his hands. There are so many more orders than usual, and most of them are Wang Jianye’s signature spicy and sour potato shreds.

Zhou Qingde knew how good Fengze Garden's business was, and he also knew that Fengze Garden's current popularity had a lot to do with Master Wang.

It can even be said that if Master Wang had not improved the recipe of his signature spicy and sour potato shreds, Fengzeyuan would not have been as popular as it is now.

As long as the order sent from the front hall was from Wang Jianye, Zhou Qingde would deliver it to him personally.

When Chen Xiaoyang was pouring water for Wang Jianye, Zhou Qingde took the initiative to take it over and said, "Master Wang, have some tea."

Seeing that it was his leader Zhou Qingde who brought the tea, Wang Jianye smiled but didn't dare to drink it, "Let my apprentice do this job. Master Zhou, it's not appropriate for you to serve me tea."

"No, Master Wang, do you know how popular our Fengze Garden is now? It's all thanks to you. You are the great contributor to our Fengze Garden. It's only natural for me to serve you a cup of tea."

Zhou Qingde said sincerely.

Wang Jianye was stubborn but had no choice but to accept the cup of tea.

Zhou Qingde did not disturb Wang Jianye who was busy and returned to his stove.

"I wonder what Master Xu from Cuihualou would think after learning that our Fengze Garden is so popular."

Zhou Qingde looked at Master Wang's busy figure and couldn't help thinking.

……

Cai Quanwu borrowed someone else's tricycle and rode it on the street to pick up passengers. He happened to pass by Fengze Garden on Zhushikou West Street.

Hearing the loud crying in Fengze Garden, Cai Quanwu could not help but stop his tricycle and stretched his neck to look inside curiously.

What's going on? Is someone holding a funeral banquet in there? Otherwise, how could there be crying sounds coming from a restaurant...

Cai Quanwu felt strange.

However, he had no intention of going in to take a look. After all, it was obvious at a glance that the splendidly decorated Fengze Garden was not a place that people like him could enter.

After Cai Quanwu rode away on his bike, there was a sewage outlet connected to the pool in the backyard of Fengze Garden. Several middle-aged women were washing dishes in the pool. The few shredded potatoes left in the basin flowed out of the backyard of Fengze Garden through the sewage pipe.

At this time, two dogs happened to pass by, one was a local dog, and the other was also a local dog, but the hair around its right eye was black, making it look like a pirate with one eye blind.

The two brothers strolled to the sewage outlet of Fengze Garden. With their sensitive noses, they immediately smelled something particularly fragrant. Following the smell, the two brothers found some shredded potatoes.

The pirate dog lowered his head, rolled his tongue, and put one of the potato shreds into his mouth, "Woo woo woo woo..." The dog shed tears because of the delicious food.

The local dog tilted its head and looked at it, "Woof woof woof?"

"Wangwang."

The pirate dog cried out in a crying voice.

The local dog couldn't help but taste a piece of potato shreds, and then he made the same sound as the pirate dog, "Woo woo woo..."

"Wangwangwang."

The two brothers were in tears.

……

When it was almost time to get off work, Chef Xu of Cuihualou counted the orders and felt very strange. "Why are there so many fewer customers tonight than yesterday?"

After calling the waiter at Cuihualou to ask about the situation, it turned out that Master Wang from Fengzeyuan had introduced a dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes that was so delicious that it made people cry. All the customers went to Fengzeyuan to try it. "What?!"

Chef Xu couldn't help but clench his fists.

Ever since Wang Jianye of Fengze Garden was converted to a regular employee, Cuihualou has not known what good days are.

At the beginning, Cuihualou introduced the Fried Double Crisps, a very difficult Shandong dish. They thought they could compete with Fengzeyuan, which could not make this dish well, for customers. But unexpectedly, Wang Jianye of Fengzeyuan made it better, causing Cuihualou to lose this competitiveness.

Then, Cuihualou launched the delicious dish "Burning Flowers" which was originally created by Chef Xu's master. It was thought that Chef Xu and his master were the only ones in the world who could cook this dish and it would be difficult for other restaurants to replicate the recipe. However, no one expected that the head chefs of Fengzeyuan had figured it out in just one afternoon, and after Wang Jianye learned it, he cooked it better than his apprentice. How could he complain?

Now, before Cuihualou made any move, Fengzeyuan launched a big move. Wang Jianye introduced a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds that was so delicious that it made people cry. It attracted a large number of customers, which resulted in a significant decrease in the number of customers at Cuihualou.

"why why why!"

Chef Xu grabbed his collar, as if questioning the world.

"Again and again, will you guys at Fengze Garden ever stop doing this?!"

Just because of Wang Jianye, their Cuihua Tower was beaten by Fengze Garden without any chance to fight back.

Chef Xu gritted his teeth, making a clattering sound, and his hands were shaking with anger.

At this time, no one dared to step forward to persuade him, for fear of causing bad luck, so they could only run to the office in the front yard and call Manager Zhang, "What's going on?"

"A lot of our Cuihualou's business has been taken away by Fengzeyuan, and it's all because of Wang Jianye!"

Chef Xu said angrily, glancing at Sha Zhu who was among the crowd watching the show. Sha Zhu shivered with fear and said, "Don't take your anger out on me."

"It's time for Fengze Garden to get off work at this time. Let's go to Fengze Garden together tomorrow morning to see what the situation is, and then make countermeasures."

Manager Zhang’s suggestion makes sense.

Chef Xu relaxed a little and decided to go to Fengze Garden tomorrow to see for himself what was going on. He really wanted to know how delicious the spicy and sour potato shreds were that attracted so many people...

……

On the other side, at Fengze Garden, Wang Jianye stuffed the lunch box containing three meat dishes that he had reserved for himself into his canvas bag, and then Chen Xiaoyang helped him carry it out of the back door of Fengze Garden.

Wang Jianye stood at the door and waited for a while. Chen Xiaoyang trotted over and pushed Wang Jianye's new bicycle from the carport. After he got on the bicycle, they arrived at the gate of No. 11 courtyard in Qianmen in about ten minutes.

After entering the courtyard, Wang Jianye met Cai Quanwu who was washing dishes by the sink. Cai Quanwu saw him coming and said, "Master Wang, did a guest book Fengze Garden today to hold a funeral banquet? When I passed by Fengze Garden on my way back in the evening, I heard a lot of people crying inside."

"Brother Cai, I don't know about this matter. I've been busy in the kitchen. Who cares what the guests who come here to eat are doing?"

Wang Jianye smiled and didn't tell the truth.

And even if he told the truth, I'm afraid Tsai Quanwu would not believe that there are really dishes in the world that are so delicious that they can make you cry.

After returning home, Wang Jianye took out three lunch boxes from his bag and gave them to the Wang Jianwu brother to take back to their home in Nanluoguxiang.

Then, Liang Ladi brought him a thermos filled with hot water. "Thank you, Sister Liang. It's like this every day. Thank you for your help."

"No trouble, I taught Chen Xiaoyang so well, I can't thank you enough."

Not long after Liang Ladi left, there was another knock on the door.

Wang Jianye stood up and opened the door. "Qin Huairu? Why are you here?"
