Chapter 232 Liu Haizhong's request, Chen Xueru's resentment
After getting up, Wang Jianye took his things and went to the yard to wash up, where he met his second uncle Liu Haizhong who was also washing up.

"Jianye, you are going to Xiyuan for a state banquet in a few days. Which dish do you plan to prepare?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

Wang Jianye answered as he drank the cold water: "I'm not sure either. I'll make arrangements on that day."

"Is that so? Then when you come back from the state banquet, can you also cook a dish for me? Just the same dishes you cooked at the state banquet."

Liu Haizhong was just a manager in the courtyard, not a real official. He really wanted to be an official, but he couldn't. So he wanted to experience what real officials ate and barely satisfy his wish of becoming an official.

Before, Liu Haizhong didn’t know any state banquet chef, and he couldn’t think of this matter without connections. But now it’s different. There is a state banquet chef in their hospital, which makes him eager to enjoy the dining treatment of a high-ranking official.

Wang Jianye shook his head. "Don't worry about it, Second Uncle. I don't have the time to cook for you."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong didn't want to give up, so he made a promise, "As long as Wang Jianye is willing to cook a few dishes for me, I will pay you according to the price of Fengzeyuan, and if anyone in this courtyard wants to bully your family in the future, I will be the first to say no."

Wang Jianye thought about it and agreed, "Just once."

"Okay, I just want to try what the real high officials eat."

Liu Haizhong became happy.

The toothbrush Wang Jianye used was dipped in tooth powder that smelled like mothballs. Nowadays, toothpaste is much more expensive than tooth powder, and few people use it. Most people use this kind of stinky tooth powder that smells like mothballs.

As for this kind of tooth powder, few families in rural areas are willing to buy it. At most, they just rinse their mouths with coarse salt.

After washing up, Wang Jianye returned to the house.

At this moment, Zhang Lan, Wang Jianting, Wang Jiannan and others were awake.

Wang Jianye asked Zhang Lan: "Mom, what are we going to eat this morning?"

Zhang Lan said as she tied her hair up: "How about heating up the three meat dishes you brought back last night and steaming some steamed bread?"

"Good."

Wang Jianye lives alone in the courtyard house at No. 11 Qianmen, and basically has breakfast every day at the breakfast stalls outside.

He hated cooking by himself, and the hassle of washing pots, scrubbing dishes, and wiping the table. He had to do it all by himself, so he was too lazy to do it.

"Brother, you can mix the pickles today. You make them delicious." Wang Jiannan said to Wang Jianye after applying clam oil.

Wang Jianye nodded. Since they all liked the pickled vegetables he made, he would try making them.

His skill in making mixed pickles has reached the state banquet level. It can be said that Wang Jianye's mixed pickles are the most delicious in the world, and no one can compare with him.

After all, no chef would have so much free time and energy to focus on improving the quality of an ordinary dish of mixed pickles, unless he has eaten too many pickles and has nothing to do.

Wang Jianye did what he said. After taking the pickles out of the jar, he cut them into thin strips and rinsed them with water. Then he put the chopped chili pepper, coriander and green onion in the mixture, poured some vinegar, and added a few drops of sesame oil.

Wang Jianye, who elevated the side dish of mixed pickles to the level of a state banquet, had a very good grasp of every step, adding just the right amount of seasoning, not too much or too little.

Soon, Wang Jianye prepared a dish of mixed pickles that was of state banquet quality.

[Ding, experience value +1] [Ding, the state-class pickled vegetables made by the host trigger a special effect, and the life span is increased by one day and the IQ is increased by one point.]

After Wang Jianye mixed the pickles, Zhang Lan heated up the three meat dishes.

The three meat dishes are braised pork, stir-fried shredded pork tenderloin, and stir-fried kidney.

All of them were made by Wang Jianye. The braised pork dish reached legendary level, and the other two dishes reached state banquet level.

Wang Jianye has increased the probability of triggering the special effect of [Add one day to life] to 100%. Every time he cooks a dish of state banquet level or above, this special effect can be triggered.

Although the probability of triggering several other special effects is very low, two of them were triggered luckily this time. One of them is to increase strength by one kilogram, and the other is to increase concentration time by one minute.

In addition, there was the special effect triggered by the state-banquet-level mixed pickles that Wang Jianye had just made.

So this time, after eating it, Wang Jianye's family can increase their lifespan by a total of four days, increase their IQ by a point, increase their strength by one kilogram, and increase their concentration time by one minute!
Seeing that they were happy with the food, Wang Jianye was in a good mood. Now he and his family could make progress again, and they could live a few more days, which was good.

After breakfast, Wang Jianye pushed his bicycle to the gate of the courtyard, and then rode towards Zhushikou West Street.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the back door of Fengze Garden. After parking his bicycle in a carport not far away, Wang Jianye entered the kitchen of Fengze Garden.

Just like before, after Wang Jianye came to Fengze Garden and rested for a while, he started to process 50 kilograms of pork belly with his apprentices, and they wanted to make all of the pork belly into braised pork.

The braised pork at Fengzeyuan is very popular recently and is selling out very quickly.

Although the price is a bit high, it is of legendary quality after all. It is so delicious that it makes you cry. When customers spend money to order this dish, they feel it is worth it.

Because guests cannot eat such delicious braised pork in other restaurants, and can only eat it at Fengzeyuan where Wang Jianye works.

After working until the evening, Wang Jianye asked his apprentice Chen Xiaoyang to ride a bike and take him back to the courtyard house No. 11 Qianmen.

After giving the meat and vegetables in the three lunch boxes he brought back to his two younger brothers Wang Jianwen and Wang Jianwu, Wang Jianye rode his bicycle to the next door to the Daqianmen Tavern, which was the private house and courtyard given to him by Master Luo.

Taking out the key from his pocket and unlocking the door, Wang Jianye went into the three rooms in the yard and checked them. Two days ago, Wang Jianye found two whitewashing masters to do the work for his house.

He came back to inspect the work when he had time today. Being quite satisfied with the work done by the two masters, Wang Jianye went to the homes of the two white-scraping masters and paid them the remaining money.

"Master Wang, if you are satisfied, come to us if you need any work in the future. We will do any job you want."

After receiving their wages, the two masters who scraped the white cloth were very happy. They were just handymen and it was not easy for them to earn the money.

Wang Jianye naturally agreed, and after leaving them, he came to the Daqianmen Tavern.

As soon as he stopped the car at the door, Wang Jianye met the sisters Elena and Chen Xueru who came to the tavern to drink.

Seeing that it was Wang Jianye, Chen Xueru looked at him resentfully, "Master Wang, what are you doing here again?"

Two days ago, Wang Jianye promised to take them to Master Wang's residence in Fengze Garden the next day, but Wang Jianye didn't come at all the next day. He didn't keep his word and made them wait for so long in vain. Naturally, they felt resentful towards him.
