Chapter 221 We are talking about Master Wang from Fengze Garden, not you
After the big boss's assistant agreed, he immediately went to do it.

The reception dinner was held in Xiyuan on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. All the guests were very important, and the chefs invited to prepare the dishes had to be reviewed.

The invited chef's upbringing, family environment, etc. must be carefully investigated. If there are any suspicious points, he will naturally not be allowed to participate in the preparation of such an important dinner.

After the big boss's assistant found the person in charge of the dinner and told him about the matter, the person in charge of the dinner immediately made arrangements and added Wang Jianye's name to the list of chefs who prepared the dinner and were originally to be investigated.

The relevant departments will send several people to Wang Jianye’s street office, courtyard, workplace and other places to conduct investigations in the next few days.

If the investigation is completed and there are no problems, then Wang Jianye will be formally invited to participate in the preparation of the Xiyuan dinner on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

……

This evening, around eight o'clock.

After finishing his work, Wang Jianye didn't know yet that he would soon be able to participate in the preparation of the state banquet.

"Chen Xiaoyang, please help me calculate how much commission I earned from the signature dishes today."

Wang Jianye was sitting in the lounge and gave instructions to Chen Xiaoyang beside him.

Chen Xiaoyang immediately began to calculate on a piece of paper and soon figured out, "Master, you made a total of 15 yuan today."

Wang Jianye nodded, two dollars more than yesterday.

This is because he cooked two large pots of braised pork at noon and in the evening today, each pot containing 25 kilograms of braised pork.

Yesterday at noon, he only cooked 20 kilograms of braised pork, and last night, just like today, he cooked two large pots, each with 25 kilograms of braised pork.

So the commission I earned today was a little more than yesterday.

Wang Jianye is very satisfied with the money he earned.

But today he did not give red envelopes to his seven disciples.

After all, this money cannot be given every day. If it is given every day, his apprentices will easily take it for granted. If one day Wang Jianye suddenly stops giving, they will inevitably feel puzzled.

This has little to do with character, because it is human nature.

Wang Jian did not give red envelopes today, but thought that it would be enough to invite his apprentices to his home for a good meal at the weekend.

After stuffing three lunch boxes full of meat and vegetables into his shoulder bag, Wang Jianye asked his apprentice Chen Xiaoyang to take him back to his home at No. 11 Qianmen Siheyuan.

As expected, his two younger brothers, Wang Jianwen and Wang Jianwu, were waiting at his home at this time.

Wang Jianye handed the three lunch boxes in his hand to them and asked them to go back early. After all, it was getting late. Both of them yawned.

After they left, Wang Jianye received another visit from Liang Ladi, who brought him a thermos filled with hot water.

With nothing to do at home, Wang Jianye rode his bicycle and in about five or six minutes, he arrived at Xu Huizhen's private house next to the Daqianmen Tavern.

The main reason for his visit was to see how the two whitewashing masters he had hired were doing their job.

After entering the shop and then the inner courtyard, Wang Jianye pushed open the door of the main room and pulled the pull switch on the right wall. With a click, the whole room became bright under the illumination of the tungsten filament bulb.

"In just one day, the whole house was cleaned up."

After turning on the light, Wang Jianye saw the situation in the room clearly. Not only were the walls painted with a new layer of white, but the skirting was also done. "How are the other two rooms?"

Wang Jianye first came to the room on the right, turned on the lights, and found that only three walls were completed.

We came to the house on the left, where the walls had not been treated yet.

"They should be able to get the rest done tomorrow."

Wang Jianye thought that the two masters had cleaned up the main room in just one day, and most of the right ear room had also been cleaned up. Currently, only a small half of the right ear room and the entire left ear room were left to be cleaned.

Both rooms are relatively small, so they should be cleaned up quickly.

Wang Jianye did not pay the two whitewashing masters according to the number of working days, but set the wages for each job. The earlier the work was finished, the earlier he could get paid.

It would do the two masters no good to slack off, so the work would probably take another day to be completed.

"I'll come over tomorrow to inspect it after work. If there's no problem, I'll settle the bill with them in time."

After taking a look around, Wang Jianye left this private house.

Seeing that the lights were still on at the Daqianmen Tavern next door, Wang Jianye did not rush back. Instead, he pushed open the curtain at the door of the tavern and walked in.

It's past eight o'clock now, but there are still quite a few customers in the tavern.

For example, familiar characters in the TV series such as Niu Ye, Fan Jinyou, Pian Er Ye, and sisters Chen Xueru and Elena are also there.

Wang Jianye walked to the counter and said, "Just like the day before yesterday, give me two bottles of beer and two plates of snacks."

"Okay." Xu Huizhen saw that it was Wang Jianye who came. While pouring wine for him, she smiled and said, "Master Wang, did you just get off work?"

"It's been a while since I got off work."

Wang Jianye took out the money, took the two bottles of beer poured by Xu Huizhen, found an empty seat and sat down, just at the table next to Chen Xueru and Elena, and at the same table with Niu Ye and Fan Jinyou.

"Why does Boss Xu call you Master Wang? What do you do for a living?"

Uncle Niu had met Wang Jianye once before, and when he saw him again this time, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I am just an ordinary cook."

Wang Jianye said this with a smile as he took a big sip of beer and then peeled a boiled peanut in salt water, enjoying it very much.

Hearing that he was just a cook, Fan Jinyou, who thought of himself as a cadre and a leader, looked down on him and lost interest in him. He continued to chat with Niu Ye about how popular Fengze Garden was in the past few days. He almost couldn't squeeze in.

"That's right. It's not new that Fengzeyuan is so popular. Why? I have eaten many braised pork dishes and many hot and sour potato shreds in my life, but none of them can compare to the one made by Master Wang in Fengzeyuan. Hey, it's really delicious."

When Uncle Niu talked about the two dishes from Fengze Garden, he couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.

Fan Jinyou nodded in agreement, "Next time when Chef Wang from Fengze Garden launches another signature dish, I will definitely go and try it again."

At this time, Fan Jinyou noticed that when he said the words "Master Wang from Fengze Garden", Wang Jianye reacted and looked at him jokingly, "We are talking about Master Wang from Fengze Garden. Although your last name is Wang, we are not talking about you. Don't get excited."
