Chapter 219 Bringing Braised Pork to the Leader

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jianye finally finished all the orders and it was time for lunch.

The meals in the kitchen of Fengze Garden are all prepared by apprentices. Today it was the turn of Wang Jianye's apprentices Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie, together with the apprentices of several other masters, to prepare this meal together.

After lunch, Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie found Wang Jianye and asked, "Master, what do you think of the leek dried tofu I made?"

"Master, I made dry pot potato chips. How do you think they taste?"

The two of them nervously asked Wang Jianye for his opinion.

Wang Jianye then told them about the advantages and disadvantages, and how the advantages could be made better and the disadvantages could be made less.

Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie listened carefully and gained a lot. They were very grateful to Wang Jianye in their hearts.

After all, Wang Jianye explained it to them in such detail and in a very easy-to-understand manner, so it was not difficult for them to understand, which enabled them to make rapid progress.

The time came to half past two in the afternoon.

At this time, Li Hui, who had previously agreed to come to Fengze Garden at 2:30 in the afternoon to learn how to improve the method of braised pork, came. Of course, he did not come alone, Gao Qianjin, the head chef of Tianfu Food House, also came with him.

"Master Wang, when do we start?"

Li Hui was a little impatient.

Wang Jianye drank a sip of tea slowly, then put down the enamel pot in his hand and looked at the two people from Tianfu Food Boat, "Let's start now."

After saying that, Wang Jianye came from the lounge to the kitchen, and his apprentice Chen Xiaoyang helped him get an apron and tie it on.

Wang Jianye came to the counter, on which was a large pile of pork belly, of very high quality. It was specially bought for him by Zhou Qingde.

Just as Wang Jianye was about to tell his apprentices to start working, Master Cheng also came to the kitchen. He found Wang Jianye and said, "Master Wang, I heard that you improved the method of making braised pork, which made Fengze Garden very popular. Many people said it was delicious after eating it, so I want to learn from you."

These two days, Master Cheng heard about this from his son, Cheng Jie, Wang Jianye's seventh apprentice, and wanted to come and ask Master Wang for advice, but he didn't have much time.

Because the big boss has a poor appetite and has too many worries, the full-time chef wants to find ways to improve his dishes.

But there was no progress, so I remembered the very popular braised pork made by Master Wang in recent days, so I came to ask for advice to see if I could get any ideas for improvement.

Wang Jianye nodded. "Master Cheng, you came at the right time. I am about to make this braised pork. You can watch it with the two chefs from Tianfu Food House. If you have any questions, please ask them immediately."

"Tianfu Food Boat?"

Master Cheng looked at the two people next to him and said in surprise, "I remember that your Tianfu Restaurant is the best restaurant in our city that serves Sichuan cuisine. Why are you here to learn how to make braised pork from a Shandong restaurant?"

"That's because we're making a bet."

Gao Qianjin, the head chef of Tianfu Restaurant, briefly explained the bet.

Master Cheng understood and stopped caring, focusing all his attention on Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye instructed his apprentices to start working according to the division of labor for making braised pork yesterday afternoon.

Master Cheng, Gao Qianjin and Li Hui were carefully watching every step of Wang Jianye's making of the braised pork.

When I encountered something I didn’t understand, I asked questions in a timely manner.

Wang Jianye did not hide his knowledge and gave a very detailed and easy-to-understand answer, which made people suddenly realize the truth.

Soon, Wang Jianye made the first pot of braised pork and looked at the three people: "Have you learned it?"

The three of them frowned. They understood what Wang Jianye explained to them, but it was too difficult and complicated for them to do it themselves.

Yesterday, Li Hui was full of confidence. But now, under constant attack, his confidence is running low. "Master Wang, I have a few questions..."

Li Hui asked questions and Wang Jianye answered them. After he understood everything clearly, Li Hui watched the second pot of braised pork being made. Combining theory with practice, his understanding of the theory was further deepened, and he once again gained confidence.

"I know, I know! Thank you, Master Wang!"

Li Hui became excited, "I will be able to make a replica within a month! Then I will invite Master Wang to taste it."

After saying that, he left Fengze Garden with Gao Qianjin, the chef of Tianfu Food House.

Master Cheng hadn't left yet. He looked at Li Hui with emotion as he left. "It's good to be young. Master Wang, he can react quickly and understand everything you say."

"Master Cheng, do you know how it is done?"

Wang Jianye looked at Master Cheng and asked with a smile.

Master Cheng smiled helplessly and shook his head. "I'm old, and I can't learn as fast as young people. I can only cook some of the dishes I've been cooking for many years. It will take a long time to learn the complicated and difficult braised pork recipe that you improved upon, Master Wang."

Then Master Cheng continued, "So I want to buy a portion of braised pork directly from you, Master Wang, and also a portion of the spicy and sour shredded potatoes you made."

"Okay, my braised pork is ready now. I'll ask Ma Hua to serve you a bowl. Now I'll make you a dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes?"

"Thank you, Master Wang."

Master Cheng asked Zhou Qingde to help him write the invoice and pay the money.

Wang Jianye quickly made a legendary dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, and just like the other braised pork, he put it into a lunch box and gave it to Master Cheng.

After Master Cheng left, Wang Jianye started to busy himself with the customers' orders.

Yesterday at noon he introduced this legendary braised pork, which attracted a large number of guests to Fengze Garden to taste it.

There are more customers today. Even if we make two big pots, they are sold out very quickly. There is nothing left. It sells out faster than yesterday.

At the same time, Master Cheng heated up the spicy and sour potato shreds and braised pork that he brought back from Fengze Garden, and asked the assistant of the boss to bring them to the boss's table.

"Boss, it's time to eat."

"Put it there."

The big boss said this without even raising his head. He sat behind his desk and continued to look at the documents under the lamp.

The assistant of the big boss felt a little reluctant. After all, the big boss waited until the lunch was cold before eating it, and he didn't eat much. So he advised again, "It's cold recently, and the food gets cold quickly. Big boss, remember to eat it while it's hot."

"I know, you go out first."

The big boss chased him away and continued looking at the documents.

After a long while, the big boss slapped the documents on the table and said angrily: "This person is too outrageous!"

Then he picked up the pen and quickly made his instructions.

After finishing, he put down the pen in his hand, leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and gently rubbed his temples with his hands. So many troubles really gave him a headache.

After kneading for a while, the leader felt tired after sitting for the whole afternoon, so he stood up and walked around.

At this time, he noticed two dishes on the table, spicy and sour shredded potatoes and braised pork.

"smell good."

When he got closer, the leader smelled the fragrance and his stomach rumbled immediately and he felt hungry.

So he sat down, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in front of him and looked at it. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The braised pork made by Master Cheng has improved a lot. It looks very tempting at first glance."
