Chapter 263 Happy Liu Haizhong
After hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Fugui said dissatisfiedly:
"Hey! Old Liu, you can't be like this. Your family has already hired Master Wang last time.

This time it's our turn, we've never invited one before."

In order to invite Wang Jianye to cook for his family, Liu Haizhong showed no mercy to Xu Fugui:

"There has to be a first come first served rule for this matter. I was the one who told Wang Jianye first. Go, go, Lao Xu, you go to the back of the queue."

"Old Liu, this is not very authentic."

Xu Fugui said with a dissatisfied sound: "Years ago, you already asked Wang Jianye to cook for your family once.
It's time for someone else to have a treat this time. You can't always monopolize it and not let others treat you. That's not what you do."

"Hmph! How about we clash?"

Liu Haizhong is a fat man. He has been a blacksmith for many years and has developed quite a strong body.

If a real fight breaks out, Xu Fugui, who gave birth to a loser like Xu Damao who can't be defeated by anyone, and who believes that "like father, like son", will definitely not be his match.

"What are you touching? I, I won't argue with you."

Xu Fugui failed to snatch Liu Haizhong away, so he could only turn around and go back to his home angrily.

"Coward!"

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Fugui who was leaving and sneered, "You still want to snatch it from me?"
Then, with a smile of victory, he looked at Wang Jianye again:
"I have prepared the ingredients at home. When can you, Wang Jianye, come over and cook?"

"When did I promise you, Second Uncle, that I would cook for you?"

Wang Jianye's sudden question left Liu Haizhong speechless.

Wang Jianye did not make any promise indeed, it was just Liu Haizhong's wishful thinking.

If he drove Xu Fugui away, Wang Jianye would definitely agree to him.

This is like two men who are good at bootlicking, inviting the goddess to date them at the same time.

The two bootlickers decided who was better among themselves, the loser left and the winner stayed.

The dog who stayed behind thought that the goddess would definitely agree to go on a date with him.

Little did they know that the goddess had no interest in either of these two lickers.

Xu Fugui, who had already returned to the west wing, couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Jianye's words and saw the dumbfounded Liu Haizhong:

"Old Liu, Old Liu, you are dumbfounded, right? If Master Wang doesn't agree with you, you can have a fight with him if you have the guts."

Liu Haizhong came to his senses and was unwilling to give up. Now he was begging Wang Jianye and had to persuade him with kind words:

"Jianye, I will definitely give you extra money. Just come to my house and make a few dishes. It's not troublesome and it's easy."

"Who told you that I'm not troublesome?"

Wang Jianye glanced at Liu Haizhong. He had to let others know that he was not so easy to invite.

Otherwise, with so many people in the yard coming to him one by one, he would probably be very annoyed.

Liu Haizhong, who has always adhered to the corporal punishment system, is not good at speaking.

Faced with Wang Jianye's rejection, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

After all, I can't hit him, and I can't talk to him, so I can only stare.

Wang Jianye ignored Liu Haizhong and returned to his home.

It was almost time for lunch, and Wang Jianye came back at this time just to cook a delicious meal at home.

The state-banquet-level dishes he cooked had a 100% chance of carrying the special effect of [Increase lifespan by one day], and a 23% chance of triggering the special effect of [Increase IQ by one point].

As for the other two, the probability of triggering these two special effects, [Increase strength by one pound] and [Increase concentration time by one minute], is a little low.

But if you cook it more often, it can be triggered in one or two dishes.

Wang Jianye and his family will gain these special bonuses after eating dishes with special effects.

Adding one day to your life, one point to your IQ, one pound to your strength, and one minute to your concentration time will bring about improvements in all aspects.

Among these special effects, the most important ones are [Increase lifespan by one day] and [Increase IQ by one point].

Before his family members had been upgraded to human limits, Wang Jianye would often come to their home to cook.

This afternoon, Wang Jianye prepared six dishes at home.

They are spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried shredded pork tenderloin, sweet and sour carp, braised pork, leek and dried tofu, and vinegar cabbage.

The ingredients for three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes had already been bought by Zhang Lan and her friends in the morning.

Wang Jianye put on an apron and was about to show his skills.

Liu Haizhong came to his house carrying a piece of pork belly and said, "Jianye, when you cook, can you put my piece of meat in the dish?
Make more at a time so you don't have to come to my house to do it again.

But Jianye, don't worry, I will still give you the same price as last time.
How do you feel about not letting you help for nothing?"

Wang Jianye glanced at the pork belly in Liu Haizhong's hand. It looked to be in good quality.

Liu Haizhong specially bought a piece of good pork belly in case Wang Jianye might cook today.

"How much?"

While Wang Jianye was busy cutting meat, he looked at Liu Haizhong and asked.

"It's seven taels in total."

Liu Haizhong asked the second aunt to buy a piece of meat specifically, so he naturally knew the portion.

"Put it here. If you use 7 taels of meat, it will shrink a bit when you make braised pork.
I won't take advantage of you. After I'm done, I'll give you about 600 grams of braised pork." Wang Jianye thought about it and agreed.

This made Liu Haizhong very happy. It was great that he could eat the braised pork that Wang Jianye made at the state banquet again today and experience what the real big leaders eat.

After Liu Haizhong left, Zhang Lan smiled and said with emotion:
"Look at how happy Second Master was after you agreed. He was so happy."

"Who made my brother's cooking so delicious? They all wanted to ask him to cook for them. He finally agreed. How could they not be happy?"

Wang Jianting said proudly while peeling garlic.

After finishing the braised pork, Wang Jianye served out about six taels of it and asked Wang Jianwu to deliver it to Liu Haizhong in the east wing.

Looking at the delicious braised pork in front of him, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to call Liu Guangqi over and ask him to sit next to him.

As for the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they could only smell the food and see how delicious it was, but they couldn't actually taste it.

"Boss, come on, eat it while it's hot."

Liu Haizhong picked up the chopsticks and started eating, while inviting Liu Guangqi beside him to eat with him.

Liu Guangqi couldn't wait any longer. After Liu Haizhong picked up his chopsticks, he immediately picked up his chopsticks, picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.

"Mmm, mmm! It smells so good."

"Why is this braised pork made by Wang Jianye so delicious?!"

“I never get tired of eating it.”

"..."

The father and son not only ate, but also smacked their lips.

It would be fine if he just smacked his lips, but he also said it out loud.

This made the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who couldn't eat the meat, look at it eagerly, drooling with greed.

Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi were so busy eating that they didn't even look at the other brothers.

This made Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu extremely envious and jealous, and they felt it was extremely unfair.

We have to find a way to make more money, and then ask Wang Jianye to cook something for them.

Otherwise, they will never be able to get a share of Liu Haizhong's food.

This old man is protecting his food! !
That’s what they thought last time, and they have been trying every possible way to make money during this period.

Liu Guangtian is 13 years old this year. After graduating from elementary school, he was admitted to a junior high school. He did odd jobs here and there to earn some money. After all, he was still young, so when he did odd jobs, he worked for three days and rested for two days.

Liu Guangfu is 11 years old this year and is still in primary school. However, his academic performance is very poor. In the future, he can only go to junior high school to study like his brother Liu Guangtian.

The two brothers didn't have much money, and they couldn't even afford to buy a piece of meat, let alone asking Wang Jianye to cook, which would cost extra money.

"We have to find a way to make money!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

……

At noon, Wang Jianye finished cooking and eating at home.

After resting until around three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jianye pushed his bicycle out of the yard.

When he passed by Jia's house, Jia Zhang in the house saw him through the window, narrowed her eyes, and muttered softly:
"Just wait, I will definitely trap you!

By then, the three meat dishes you bring back from Fengze Garden every day will all belong to our Jia family, humph!"

Wang Jianye was still unaware of Jia Zhang's thoughts.

After he walked out of the courtyard gate, he rode his bicycle to No. 15 Nanwenchang Hutong.

Before leaving get off work yesterday, Manager Zheng Hao told him that the customer who asked him to cook was staying in this place.

As for the guest’s name, it is Han Peiying. Han Peiying’s son’s birthday is today and his son’s name is Han Ying.

After arriving, Wang Jianye told the guard his purpose, and the guard let him into the yard only after confirming it.

"You are Master Wang from Fengze Garden, right?"

Han Peiying asked happily when he saw Wang Jianye coming.

Wang Jianye nodded, keeping in mind his duties as a chef.

That is to say, just cook the meal well. Don’t worry about other things, don’t ask, and don’t look at them.

But Wang Jianye couldn't help but glance at the young man who was writing and drawing on paper, flipping through books from time to time, and working hard at his desk.

The man fit Wang Jianye's impression of an intellectual very well. He wore glasses, had a pale complexion, and wore clean clothes. He was indifferent when someone came into the room.

"Master Wang, I invited you here today. I want you to cook a few dishes: stir-fried pork tenderloin, braised prawns, braised pork, and fried meatballs. Finally, add a bowl of longevity noodles. Today is my son's birthday, and I want to celebrate it with a good meal."

Han Peiying told Wang Jianye about his request.

Wang Jianye nodded and said, "No problem, I can cook all these dishes, and I can cook them very well."

"I knew that you were a good cook, Master Wang. I tried the three dishes you made at the Xiyuan reception, and they all suited my taste.
So I invited you this time because I wanted to try the dishes you cooked, Master Wang.
On the other hand, I also wanted my son, who finally came home, to have a taste of your cooking skills, Master Wang..."

Han Peiying said with a smile.
