Chapter 242 The Banquet Begins, Leaders’ Reactions
When Wang Jianye first came in the morning, Master Qian was very dissatisfied with Wang Jianye, thinking that he was so young and unskilled, and must have come in through the back door.

But in the morning, Wang Jianye and he both made a Luohandu at the same time, and Wang Jianye's cooking level was far better than his, and it was very delicious.

At that time, he asked Wang Jianye for advice, and Wang Jianye taught him without hesitation, allowing the state banquet chef to have a deeper understanding of this dish.

So Master Qian was very grateful to Wang Jianye, and felt very ashamed in his heart. He suspected that such a good young man had entered through the back door and even mocked him.

Wang Jianye didn't care about Master Qian's gratitude. "Master Qian, I want to ask you something. Does your Tianfu Restaurant have a chef named Gao Qianjin?"

Upon hearing the name, Master Qian was stunned at first, then nodded, "He is the head chef of our place, and he is also my apprentice. Master Wang, do you know him?"

"Yes, I made a bet with him and their head chef Li Hui some time ago.

I taught Li Hui how to make braised pork in brown sauce, and said that if they could learn it and reach my level within a month, I would teach him how to make spicy and sour potato shreds.
And if they don’t reach my level, they will tell me where to get Tianfu Food Square seasonings.”

Wang Jianye explained, "I will go to your Tianfu Restaurant and order this dish in a month. I hope Master Qian can do me a favor. If they lose, please urge them to fulfill the bet and not cheat."

"Are you so sure that they can't perform at your level? I know this young man, Li Hui. He has great talent and is very young. Maybe they win this bet and you lose."

Master Qian was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you teach him the real way to make braised pork?"

Wang Jianye shook his head and said, "What I teach is the real method. I made the braised pork according to this method.
And they were watching right beside me, there was no way I was going to smash my own sign.

And when they asked me for advice, I also told them in detail how to make the dish, and I gave them the correct answers in a timely manner when they had any questions. "

"Then why are you so sure they can't do it at your level?"

Master Qian was even more puzzled.

Li Hui has good talent, and Wang Jianye teaches in such detail, so it should be easy for him to learn. In addition, he still has a month to practice, so he will definitely be able to do it by then.

Wang Jianye took a sip of tea and didn't explain much.

Master Qian thought about it and agreed.

After all, Wang Jianye let bygones be bygones and taught him the improved recipe for the dish Luohandu, so naturally he had to do something for Wang Jianye.

On the other side, after Master Cheng coordinated and arranged for all the dishes to be served on the table, he finally breathed a sigh of relief that nothing went wrong.

He called all the chefs together and said, "Thank you all for your hard work in preparing the state banquet today. Thank you for your cooperation in completing this banquet..."

Master Cheng summarized the gains and losses of today's dinner, as well as the efforts and hard work of all the masters. After expressing his gratitude to all the masters again, he distributed subsidies.

The standard for distributing subsidies is three yuan per person per dish. If you cook one dish today, you can get a subsidy of three yuan. If you cook two dishes, you can get a subsidy of six yuan.

Wang Jianye cooked three dishes and received a subsidy of nine yuan.

Wang Jianye didn't care about this little money. What he cared about was that he finally had the opportunity to participate in the production of the state banquet, which was a good start.

After the first time, there will be a second time, and in the future, he will prepare state banquets more frequently.

His identity as the state banquet chef will become more worthy of the name.

After he participated in the preparation of today's state banquet, he can be considered a true state banquet chef.

This also means that after the new year, Wang Jianye will be promoted from head chef to chef in charge, and his income and status will be further improved.

After Master Cheng expressed his gratitude and distributed the subsidies, there was nothing else for the chefs to do, so he let everyone leave Xiyuan early.

Meanwhile, at the banquet.

"Old Zhang, aren't you a tough guy? Why are you crying? Hahaha."

"The dishes cooked by Master Wang are so delicious that one can't help but eat them."

"Men don't cry easily, but I haven't met Master Wang yet." "A man like Lao Qin cried after eating the food made by Master Wang. Master Wang is really amazing."

"I have received professional training. Normally, I won't cry unless I can't help it."

"I've been putting up with you for a long time, Old Ma. You've been crying the whole time and you never stopped."

"I, I remembered something sad."

"..."

Just like that, before the third round of wine and the fifth dish had been served, the banquet became lively because of the three legendary dishes prepared by Wang Jianye.

All this is because the dishes cooked by Wang Jianye are so delicious, beyond everyone's imagination.

In fact, this is normal. Wang Jianye’s cooking skills for these three dishes have reached legendary level. They are the most delicious spicy and sour potato shreds, braised pork and monk’s tripe in the world.

No matter how much food people have seen or how many delicious dishes they have enjoyed, they will still be impressed by the three legendary dishes made by Wang Jianye.

"Can Master Wang make a few more dishes?"

A customer suggested that the dishes made by Wang Jianye were so delicious that they couldn’t get enough of them, so they wanted Wang Jianye to make more.

After the person in charge received the news, he went to the kitchen and found Wang Jianye who had not left yet.

"Master Wang, the dishes you cook are so delicious. The customers want to try more. Can you make a few more?"

The person in charge was obviously a little excited. He had hosted such banquets several times, but never a banquet like today, where many guests wanted to order more dishes because a dish was so delicious.

Master Wang’s skills are truly extraordinary.

"What dishes would the guests like to eat?" Wang Jianye asked.

He didn't leave after taking the money because he anticipated that something like this might happen, so he waited for a while.

Fortunately he didn't leave, otherwise he would have to rush back.

"Master Wang, which of these three dishes can you make the fastest? Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds, Braised Pork, or Luohan Tripe?"

“Spicy and sour potato shreds are the fastest to make.”

"Then Master Wang, please make a few more servings of spicy and sour potato shreds."

"can."

Soon, Wang Jianye made another big pot of 16 servings of spicy and sour potato shreds.

Then it was delivered to the guest's table.

Seeing that the spicy and sour potato shreds were coming again, everyone couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks to taste it.

"Mm, it's delicious. As expected of Master Wang, his cooking skills are excellent."

“It’s so delicious, I never get tired of it.”

"The last time I served the spicy and sour potato shreds, I didn't even taste them carefully before they were all eaten up. This time I might have to taste them carefully to see what they taste like, haha."

“I hope that next time it will be Chef Wang who will cook.”

"Yeah, if Chef Wang isn't among the chefs cooking next time, I won't come."
