Chapter 276: The Apprentice is Grateful, the Traitor is Regretful

in the afternoon.

After lunch, the venue and ingredients needed for the promotion assessment were quickly prepared.

Under the attention of everyone, Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie stood in the team to take the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master.

"what?"

"They just became full-time apprentices this morning, so why do they have to take the assessment in the afternoon?"

"Does that mean that after learning from Master Wang for five months, they have reached the level of the second stove master?"

"impossible."

"If that's the case, then the talents of these two are even more outrageous than Master Wang's."

"It should just be a try, to gain some assessment experience."

"..."

Cao Xiaodong, who was in the crowd, was stunned with surprise when he saw that Wang Jianye's two apprentices were going to take the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen master.

These two disciples have been Wang Jianye's apprentice for less than half a year.

Not only can he be promoted from an apprentice to a third-stove master, but he will even have the confidence to take the assessment for promotion to second-stove master?
Cao Xiaodong clenched his fists.

He is convinced that he is not as good as Wang Jianye.

But he found it hard to accept that he was not as good as Wang Jianye's apprentice.

The total time these two people spent learning their craft is not as long as the time he spent learning cooking.

As a result, now, these two people have to take the assessment to be promoted to second kitchen chef, while he is still working hard to practice his cooking skills.

He hasn't even reached half of the assessment standards for promotion to the second kitchen position.

"Am I... really that bad?"

Cao Xiaodong was so shocked that he began to doubt his life.

Feng Qingjie, who was promoted together with Cao Xiaodong last time, saw Cao Xiaodong's dazed look and couldn't help but comfort him:

"Brother Cao, you are not bad. You have been an apprentice to Master Sun for three years. Who in our kitchen doesn't think you are a talented apprentice here?
During the grading assessment, you did very well. Apart from Master Wang, you had the highest score.
In my opinion, this time Master Wang's two apprentices should just be giving it a try. It's not that easy for them to pass the test.
Otherwise, after being an apprentice for five months, his level has reached the level of the second stove, which is too outrageous..."

After Feng Qingjie's consolation, Cao Xiaodong felt a little better.

If that's the case, then it's acceptable.

the other side.

Chai Wenshan came up to Wang Jianye and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Jianye, why did your two disciples go to take the test? Can they pass?"

"more or less."

In Wang Jianye's opinion, as long as Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie don't make any mistakes, they will be able to pass this assessment smoothly.

"what?!"

Chai Wenshan was extremely surprised, "How is it possible? Are their talents so amazing?!"

Wang Jianye smiled and said nothing, let us wait and see.

The assessment for promotion to second chef is to cook nine dishes out of fifty.

If all nine dishes get eight points or above, you will pass the assessment.

Under everyone's attention, the results of the assessment came out.

Wang Yijun scored eight points for seven dishes and nine points for two dishes.

Cheng Jie, got eight points for six dishes and nine points for three dishes.

Meet the assessment standards!

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd of onlookers.

Those who thought that Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie were just trying and had little chance of passing the assessment were all confused.

"These two have only been apprentices for five months, and they have reached the level of the second stove master. It's outrageous!"

"For those of us who have spent seven or eight years to become a second-class chef, how can we be so upset?"

"Are these two too talented, or is it that Master Wang taught them too well?"

"Being able to learn cooking from Master Wang is truly a blessing from my previous life."

"I really envy Master Wang's disciples. It would be great if Master Wang didn't mind and accepted me as his disciple." "..."

Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie, who had successfully passed the test, walked up to Wang Jianye with glowing faces amid the exclamations of the people around them:
"Master, did we not disappoint you?"

"No, you two brothers did a great job this time!"

Wang Jianye gave them a thumbs up.

Compared to Zhou Qingde's praise, Wang Jianye's recognition made them even more excited:

"Thank you Master!"

The other disciples looked at them with envy, thinking that in the future they would also bring glory to their master.

When Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengzeyuan, heard about this, he hurried to the kitchen.

Just like the last time when Wang Jianye was promoted to the second kitchen master, he encouraged Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie in public.

He also said that he would increase their bonuses and arrange for them to live in a house near Fengze Garden.

Cheng Jie's father is a state banquet chef and has no shortage of houses to live in.

Wang Yijun has no father or mother and came to Sijiu City when he was young to escape famine.

Now he will be arranged a house near Fengze Garden, so he is naturally very happy.

At the same time, he never forgot who made him what he is today. It was his master!
Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie looked at Wang Jianye with gratitude.

Without Wang Jianye's careful teaching and guidance, they would never have reached the level of a second kitchen master in just five months.

……

Tonight, we celebrate the promotion of Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie to the second kitchen.

The two brothers paid for a meal together and treated their master and fellow disciples.

The location was chosen to be Cuihua Building.

There are two reasons for choosing this place.

One is that even at this time, Cuihualou is still open, and their food is pretty good.

The second reason is that Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie wanted Ye Youzhang to know that they had only studied with Wang Jianye for five months before being promoted to second kitchen masters.

Let Ye Youzhang understand how stupid his betrayal was.

Ye Youzhang was the sixth apprentice of Wang Jianye. He was originally assigned the task of Master Xu, the head chef of Cuihualou, to become Wang Jianye's disciple.

Master Xu sent Ye Youzhang to Fengze Garden to worship Wang Jianye as his teacher. He secretly learned the cooking methods of Wang Jianye's signature dishes many times and went back to teach them to Master Xu.

After Wang Jianye found out about this, he expelled Ye Youzhang from his sect.

Unfortunately, Master Xu was never able to make the dishes he learned secretly to as high a level as Wang Jianye’s.

The price Ye Youzhang paid for being expelled from the sect was in vain.

Chef Xu found another chef for his kitchen at Cuihua Building.

Now I am working in the kitchen of Cuihua Building.

After Chef Xu served them the dishes personally, he returned to the kitchen and told them that Wang Jianye's two apprentices had been promoted to second kitchen chefs today.

Ye Youzhang was incredulous and said, "Uncle, are they really the second kitchen chef?"

After getting confirmation from Chef Xu.

Ye Youzhang beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting deeply, "If I could have stayed in Fengze Garden, I would have been promoted to the Second Kitchen today!"

Chef Xu looked at him guiltily, feeling that he had let him down.

Oh, make up for it.

……

Since Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie reached the level of a second kitchen master in just five months.

Their master, Wang Jianye, once again became the focus of Fengzeyuan's kitchen.

They used connections, used backdoors, and tried every possible means to introduce their own or relatives' children to Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye's master Chai Wenshan, and his disciples such as Chen Xiaoyang, also became the objects of envy and flattery.

I hope I can help to intercede and allow Wang Jianye to accept more disciples.
