Chapter 223: Background check begins, arrive at the courtyard

"I just said it wrong. It's not about eating for free, it's about tasting the dishes. Yes, it's about tasting the dishes. Think about it, Master Wang from Fengze Garden makes such delicious dishes. He must have practiced a lot. The dishes that are practiced need to be tasted by others. Isn't that where I can come in handy? I can help Master Wang taste the dishes."

Elena patted her belly and said, "So, Master Wang, I'm helping Master Wang from Fengze Garden. It's a good thing. Just tell me where he lives, okay?"

Before Wang Jianye could answer, Chen Xueru joked, "Lina, you think of yourself as the altar purifier."

"What altar purifier?" Elena was confused.

Wang Jianye explained: "You have read Journey to the West, right? The Altar Purifier is the second brother Zhu Bajie in the story. After he went to the West and worshipped Tathagata, he was awarded this title."

Elena didn't know anything else, but she knew that Zhu Bajie was a pig. After she realized what was going on, she snorted at Chen Xueru in dissatisfaction. "I'll argue with you later. Now I need to find out where Master Wang lives first. "Master Wang, just tell me, please."

Wang Jianye took a deep breath. No matter in this life or the previous one, he had never been begged like this by a foreign girl. "Okay, I can take you to where he lives."

"Really? That's great. Master Wang, please take me there quickly. I want to meet him." Elena became excited.

Wang Jianye smiled and shook his head. "Let's wait until Master Wang gets off work tomorrow. It's too late now. It's not appropriate for me to take you there."

"Oh, yes, yes, we can't disturb others."

Elena was obedient. "Then when will Master Wang from Fengze Garden get off work tomorrow? Where can I find you?"

"We are quite busy in Fengze Garden these past two days. We will probably get off work a little after 7:30 in the evening. I will come to this tavern and then I will take you to see where he lives."

After Wang Jianye finished speaking, he drank the remaining half glass of beer in one breath and left.

It’s getting late, he has to go back to bed because he has a tiring day at work tomorrow.

……

The next morning, Wang Jianye got up, washed, and had breakfast outside. He had two vegetarian buns, two fried dough sticks, a boiled egg, a bowl of salty tofu pudding, and a scallion pancake, which cost him 12 cents.

This is equivalent to eight dollars in later generations.

After eating and drinking, Wang Jianye returned to the courtyard and gave the thermos that had used up all the hot water last night to Chen Xiaoyang to take home. He asked Liang Ladi to come back early in the afternoon and pour the boiled hot water for him. This way, Wang Jianye would not have to boil hot water every night when he returned home, which was convenient.

Then he sat on the back seat of Chen Xiaoyang's bicycle and came to the back door of Fengze Garden.

Entering the kitchen, Wang Jianye clapped his hands and called all his apprentices over, "Everyone work hard these two days, and I will treat you to a good meal at the weekend."

"Great."

"The food that the master cooks is so delicious. We are in for a treat."

"..."

Encouraged by Wang Jianye, the disciples were full of energy.

Wang Jianye was in the kitchen, working with his apprentices to prepare two large pots of braised pork.

Fengzeyuan was still packed at noon and the braised pork was sold out quickly.

In the afternoon, Wang Jianye took a short rest after dinner and then started to prepare two large pots of braised pork to be sold in the evening.

at the same time.

The three investigators who were arranged by the person in charge of the Xiyuan Dinner on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to conduct background checks at the subdistrict office and courtyard where Wang Jianye was located were Chen Yinglin, Liu Yuanxing, and Liang Cheng, led by Chen Yinglin. They came to the office of Director Wang, the person in charge of the subdistrict office in Nanluoguxiang.

After explaining his purpose, Director Wang quickly found out information about Wang Jianye's household registration, academic qualifications and other information. In short, he found out everything he could.

Director Wang handed the information to them for review without saying a word, nor did he ask them the purpose of conducting a background check on Wang Jianye.

When Chen Yinglin and his companions came, they only told Director Wang that they wanted to investigate Wang Jianye from Nanluoguxiang, and they didn't say anything else.

However, based on his own experience, Director Wang also guessed a little that the review must be carried out because of something very important. It was necessary to clearly determine Wang Jianye's position and eliminate various problems before arranging some tasks for him.

After visiting the subdistrict office, the investigators went to the local police station to retrieve information about Wang Jianye and his family.

Because the dinner is very important, safety must be ensured and the chefs to be invited must be thoroughly investigated.

They were busy contacting the street office and the police station, asking for cooperation, collecting information, organizing and summarizing the information, etc. It took them an entire afternoon to finally finish the task.

The slowest step is collecting information, including when you moved in, when you moved out, your marital status, whether you have served in the military, etc.

In those days there were no computers that would pop up all the information directly after entering a name. Now we had to look for them one by one. After focusing on Wang Jianye’s information, we also had to look for Wang Jianye’s immediate relatives. In short, it took a long time.

By the time they finished, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

Wang Jianye was busy in the kitchen of Fengze Garden until this hour and had just managed to make two large pots of braised pork.

More and more customers came to Fengze Garden, and Wang Jianye received their orders one after another, and then he hurriedly made them.

Chen Xiaoyang brought a plate over, rang the bell on the table, and said to the waiter who came over to serve the dishes, "Table 3, serve."

The waiter brought the dishes to the customer's table, "All the dishes you ordered are here."

"Hey, okay."

Chen Yinglin, Liu Yuanxing and Liang Cheng were in a small restaurant in Nanluoguxiang when the waiter brought them the last dish.

"I never expected that Wang Jianye is only 20 years old. He is too young."

"All the chefs we checked before were not younger than 35, right? But this chef Wang is only 20 years old, younger than the other chefs who have been cooking. How delicious must the food he cooks be?"

"Eat quickly, we have to go to Wang Jianye's courtyard again later."

"..."

Not long after, Chen Yinglin and three other investigators arrived at the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

It was about six o'clock in the evening.

The reason they chose this time was because most people in the courtyard were having dinner at home at this time, and they could learn more about Wang Jianye and his family from a few families.

After entering the gate of the courtyard, the three of them came to the house closest to the gate in the front yard, which was Yan Fugui's house.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~
After knocking on the door, Chen Yinglin stepped forward and said, "Comrade, we are here to investigate Wang Jianye. We have a few questions to ask. Please cooperate with us."

"You want to investigate Wang Jianye? What happened to him?" Yan Fugui asked in surprise.
