Chapter 294 Yan Fugui's Request, Rejection

weekend.

Wang Jianye got up in the morning, washed up and left the house.

At a nearby breakfast stall, I ordered two vegetable buns, a fried dough stick, a boiled egg, a piece of fish noodle, and a bowl of salty tofu pudding with chopped green onions, soy sauce, chili oil, and black bean sauce.

"What a coincidence, Master Wang."

Wang Jianye was eating when he heard a familiar voice and looked up.

Chen Kejia wore a sky blue floral dress, a pair of brogues, and a ponytail, looking particularly neat and tidy.

Chen Kejia looked at him with a smile, sat down across the table, and asked curiously, "Master Wang, your cooking skills are so good, don't you cook for yourself?"

"I live alone here. I have to buy vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, light fires, cook, wash pots and dishes... I have to do all these tasks by myself. It's too troublesome."

Wang Jianye took a bite of the fried dough stick, it was so delicious.

Chen Kejia didn't eat here, she came out to buy breakfast.

In his hand was an aluminum pot, which contained a few fried cakes, some deep-fried dough sticks, and a few buns, enough for his family to eat.

"Master Wang, has anyone asked you to cook today?"

Chen Kejia asked with a blink of her eyes.

Wang Jianye said as he ate, "I don't have any work today, but I have to go back to my hometown in Nanluoguxiang at noon to cook a meal for my family. Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Actually, I want to learn something from you, Master Wang. My father's birthday is coming up next month, and I want to make him a bowl of longevity noodles myself. Master Wang, can you make longevity noodles? Can you teach me?"

"can."

After Wang Jianye agreed straightforwardly, Chen Kejia was very happy: "Thank you, Master Wang. Master Wang, see you this afternoon."

After saying that, Chen Kejia took the breakfast she bought and went home happily and relaxed.

……

Wang Jianye ate his fill at the breakfast stall outside.

When I got home, I took out a large piece of draft paper from the system space.

He went on to write his fourth book, "Cantonese Cuisine Classics".

Before this, he had completed and published three books, namely "Classics of Shandong Cuisine", "Classics of Sichuan Cuisine" and "Classics of Fujian Cuisine".

If he finishes writing this book "Cantonese Cuisine Classics", then he will have completed half of the eight major cuisines.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Jianye found a net bag at home.

Six or seven larger cucumbers were picked from the cucumber rack in the yard.

Cucumbers grow particularly fast this season.

Although we didn't plant much, it was enough to eat.

Chen Kejia came over every now and then to eat the cucumbers, but she never ate all of them.

Wang Jianye rode his bicycle back to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

A few days ago, Wang Jianye, as the chef of Fengze Garden, was interviewed by a reporter from Sijiucheng Daily and his name was featured in the newspaper.

He prepared state banquets, was promoted to head chef, published recipes of Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Fujian cuisine, was qualified to cook at the East German Expo, and so on.

Everything written in the newspaper was beyond the understanding of the neighbors in the courtyard.

Yan Fugui in the front yard felt even more regretful that he had been too clever and had failed to get Yan Jiecheng to become Wang Jianye's disciple.

Jia Dongxu from the middle court was even more envious and jealous, and was very unhappy that Wang Jianye was doing so well and was much better than him. Xu Damao's family from the back court was also more jealous and envious of Wang Jianye's family.

"Hey! Master Wang is back?"

As soon as Wang Jianye pushed his bicycle into the gate of the courtyard, he saw Yan Fugui squinting his eyes and greeting him with a smile.

Was it just a coincidence that we met, or did Zhong Deng know that I would come back today and was waiting for me?
"Uncle, why didn't you go fishing today?"

"I plan to go again this afternoon."

Yan Fugui made up an excuse and said with a smile, "Master Wang, did you know that you were in the newspaper?"

Wang Jianye nodded, "Of course I know about this. The reporter from the Sijiucheng Newspaper said during the interview that it would be published in the newspaper."

Yan Fugui smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Master Wang, you are really amazing, not to mention our hospital,

Even in the entire Jiaodaokou Street, there is no one like you, Master Wang, who has been in the newspaper.

This time, Master Wang, you will become famous."

Yan Fugui frowned, praised Wang Jianye and said nice things to him.

Although he knew that Yan Fugui's motives were not pure, Wang Jianye was still very happy.

He was happy not because Yan Fugui praised him, but because Yan Fugui tried to please him.

"Master Wang, your Fengze Garden is so popular, you must be short of manpower, right? How about letting my Yan Jiecheng go in and help out?
I don't ask you to accept him as your apprentice, I just want him to find a job inside, Master Wang, can you... help me?"

Yan Fugui retreated to advance and let Yan Jiecheng enter Fengze Garden first.

Then there will be plenty of opportunities in the future for Yan Jiecheng to learn how to cook from Wang Jianye.

In this way, even if Wang Jianye does not accept Yan Jiecheng as his apprentice, he can still help Yan Jiecheng develop good skills.

Wang Jianye shook his head: "I am only responsible for cooking at Fengze Garden. I don't care about other matters. If Yan Jiecheng wants to enter Fengze Garden, he can go through the formal channels."

How could Yan Fugui not know this, but he insisted on using connections and going through the back door so that Yan Jiecheng would definitely be taken care of after entering Fengze Garden.

"Master Wang, you are the chef in charge of Fengze Garden. I have inquired about it. The meaning of being the chef in charge is that with you in Fengze Garden, any situation can be managed.
I think as long as you tell the person in charge of recruiting, Yan Jiecheng will definitely be able to go in and start working. Master Wang, can you help me?

Master Wang, given your status in Fengze Garden, this is just a brief mention, no trouble at all.

If you are willing to help me, Master Wang, in the future, Yan Jiecheng will come to pay you New Year's greetings and bring you gifts during the New Year holidays.
The relationship between our two families must be close.
If anyone dares to bully your family in this courtyard, I, the third uncle in charge, will protect your family."

Yan Fugui’s plea and the benefits offered.

All of these left Wang Jianye indifferent, as he wasn't that bad.

"Third uncle, don't worry about this. I won't help you. But don't be like the first uncle and use morality to blackmail me.
Saying things like, "We've been neighbors for so many years, and you won't even do me a small favor. Do you still have a conscience?"
If you really say that, I will look down on you."

"I……"

Wang Jianye's answer made Yan Fugui swallow back what he was about to say.

Knowing that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, Yan Fugui looked at Wang Jianye's back as he pushed his bicycle into the yard and couldn't help but sigh.

What was he thinking at the time? Why did he ask Yang Ruihua to cook for Yan Jiecheng?

If he had been stopped at the beginning, perhaps Wang Jianye would have been willing to accept Yan Jie as his apprentice.

Yan Jiecheng is learning cooking from Wang Jianye, he will definitely have a bright future.

Yan Fugui regretted it.
