Chapter 203 A gift from the elders that cannot be declined
Looking at the key in his hand, and after listening to Master Luo saying that this was a private house for him, Wang Jianye returned the key to Master Luo and shook his head, "Master, I can't take it."
"This is a street-facing shop near Qianmen. The location is good. Even if you don't plan to run your own business, it's still a good place to live. It's a private house with its own yard. It's not as messy as the slums. There are also many rooms. When you have children, you can live in a spacious place. How great."
Master Luo couldn't understand why Wang Jianye refused such a good offer, and he wanted to hear the reason.
"Master, I want a bigger house and a better life, but I hope I can get these through my own efforts, not relying on anyone's help!"
Wang Jianye spoke righteously and sternly.
After hearing what Wang Jianye said, Master Luo was quite surprised. He thought that Wang Jianye’s reason for refusing was that the house was small enough, but he didn’t expect that he had such ambition.
"it is good!"
Master Luo looked at him with satisfaction. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. How could he be so lucky to become Wang Jianye's master? "In this case, I won't force you. This courtyard is a reward to you."
"Eh?"
Wang Jianye was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this wrong? Didn't you say you wouldn't force it? Master, why did you still give me the yard?"
"It's not a gift, it's a reward." Master Luo smiled, "You have studied with me for so long and have performed well. As your master, I should give you some rewards. Besides, when masters accept apprentices, they will give them something. I, an old man, have nothing to give you. I only have an idle yard, so you should accept the reward. Don't let me down for my kindness."
"...Then, I would like to thank you very much, Master."
Although he was determined to work hard on his own to live a better life.
Although this street-side shop will be worth millions or tens of millions in a few decades.
However, a gift from an elder cannot be refused.
Wang Jianye took a deep breath and took the key.
"That's right." Master Luo said with a smile, "The yard is next to a pub on Qianmen Street. The pub was owned by Old He, but he passed away last year. Now his daughter-in-law is running it. I heard that the business is pretty good, with many customers every day..."
After hearing Master Luo's introduction, Wang Jianye felt something was familiar. Qianmen, Old Hetou, passed away last year, run by his daughter-in-law... Why does this sound like the story of the little women under Zhengyangmen?
Could it be a coincidence that the courtyard that Master Luo gave him was right next to Xu Huizhen's tavern?
"Master, what's the name of the daughter-in-law who runs the tavern left behind by old Hetou?"
"He Xu, I only know her last name is Xu, I don't know her exact name, the name of the tavern is Daqianmen Tavern, when you have time, go look for it, and you will find the place by asking people."
After Master Luo said that the daughter-in-law's surname was Xu and the tavern she ran was called Daqianmen Tavern, Wang Jianye immediately identified that person as Xu Huizhen.
Wang Jianye fell into deep thought.
Of course, he was not Cao Ze, so how could he possibly have any thoughts about Xu Huizhen, a beautiful, rich, divorced, breastfeeding young woman?
He was thinking, if Xu Huizhen existed, then did Chen Xueru and Elena in the same drama also exist?
Wang Jianye didn't know that although he had never met Chen Xueru and Elena, he had made them cry. After eating the legendary spicy and sour potato shreds he made, the two women cried like pear blossoms in the rain, which was a touching story.
If Wang Jianye goes to the shop given to him by Master Luo in the future and happens to meet Chen Xueru and the others, I wonder how they will react when they find out that Wang Jianye is the Master Wang who made them cry.
…The next morning, Wang Jianye got up early, had breakfast outside, and bought some more. “Master, I put the breakfast I bought for you here. Remember to eat it.”
"I understand. Go to work."
Master Luo hasn't gotten up yet.
Wang Jianye left the house and rode his bicycle to Fengze Garden.
Busy until the afternoon.
Manager Zheng Hao found Wang Jianye, holding a suitcase in his hand. "Master Wang, the boss asked me to buy you a complete set of clothes. They are all in this suitcase. Take them home and try them on to see if they fit you and if you like them. If you are not satisfied, bring them back and I will change them for you."
"You got it ready for me so quickly. Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zheng."
Wang Jianye was not surprised by Zheng Hao's efficiency. Last time, his boss asked Zheng Hao to prepare a brand new bicycle for Wang Jianye, and he got it for him the next afternoon.
"This is what I should do."
Zheng Hao has a very good attitude towards Wang Jianye.
People who don't know him might think that he is always nice to everyone. He is just that kind of person, but in fact he has a bad temper. However, when facing important people in Fengzeyuan, that is, people valued by the boss, his attitude will turn serious and become very kind.
When you are successful, you will find that there are good people around you.
This sentence really makes sense.
Wang Jianye took the suitcase to the lounge and put it there, then went back to the kitchen to busy himself with cooking.
At this afternoon meal time, quite a few customers came to Fengze Garden, many of whom came here because they wanted to try Chef Wang’s signature dish, spicy and sour potato shreds, and see how delicious it was.
Some people just don't believe it and think that the saying that a cheap dish of spicy and sour potato shreds is so delicious that it makes them cry must be exaggerated. Those people must be bragging. They came back just to try not to cry while eating the dish, and then they mocked that group of people, saying that they are ignorant and that it is shameful that they think a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds is so delicious that it makes them cry.
But when they really tasted this dish, they couldn't help crying, because it was so delicious, so delicious that it made them cry.
As a result, the guests recommended this dish from Fengzeyuan to more guests, and as a result, more guests came to try whether the spicy and sour potato shreds made by Master Wang were as delicious as they said.
This news continued to spread, and the number of guests coming to Fengze Garden tonight was nearly 30% more than the number of guests who came to Fengze Garden last night.
Yesterday Fengze Garden was packed and there was no room for everyone. Today Fengze Garden is even more packed and people are lining up outside the gate.
As the head host of Fengze Garden, Xu Youliang thought that there were enough guests yesterday, but he didn't expect that there were even more guests today. He was happy but also very busy to accommodate the guests.
Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengze Garden, came to the hall in person. Seeing the packed hall with guests and the guests who had to line up at the door because there was not enough room in the hall, he was very excited. The sky turned from cloudy to sunny. "Oh my god, with so many guests, Fengze Garden must have made a lot of money."
He called the manager Zheng Hao and said, "Now that Fengze Garden is so popular, can you think of a way to make Fengze Garden earn more money?"
