Chapter 306 Family Master-Disciple Gathering
Wang Jianye bought the ingredients he needed according to the recipe he had set in advance.
There are ten apprentices including Chen Xiaoyang, Ma Hua, Wang Yijun, Cheng Jie, etc.
The two masters are Master Luo and Chai Wenshan.
Chen Kejia and Chen Xiaobao are brother and sister.
There are also Wang Jianting, Wang Jiannan and a few others.
Add them together.
There were about twenty people.
Wang Jianye plans to cook twenty dishes.
Together with the staple food, there is enough food for everyone.
The yard of more than 100 square meters is very lively at the moment.
Wang Jianye sent away Chu Mengqi, his only apprentice in the Bai case field.
Go and invite Master Luo over.
Wang Jianye then went to the Daqianmen Tavern next door and found Xu Huizhen.
We rented a batch of tables, chairs and benches.
Otherwise, there won’t be enough space at home and people won’t be able to sit down.
And also bought some drinks.
Although some of Wang Jianye's disciples are still underage, drinking alcohol is harmful to their brains.
But some of the disciples are old enough.
What's more, there are Master Luo and Chai Wenshan, both of whom love to drink.
So of course drinks are indispensable.
In addition, we borrowed enough bowls, chopsticks and plates from the tavern.
These things were all borrowed.
It will definitely affect the tavern's lunchtime business.
But Xu Huizhen said it was okay and confiscated the fees given by Wang Jianye.
I don’t make staple foods at home.
Instead, he sent his apprentice to the shop outside to buy some steamed buns, enough for twenty people.
"Sister Chen."
When Wang Jianting arrived, she shouted happily and came forward.
Looking at Chen Kejia putting on an apron and working together with Wang Jianye, they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Wang Jianting couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with you guys now?"
"It's done."
Wang Jianye was cutting vegetables and said with a smile without turning his head.
Hearing this, Wang Jianting said in surprise: "Really?!"
Chen Kejia, who was standing by, nodded with a slightly red face: "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"
"That's great. I'm going to tell my mom that my brother finally has a girlfriend."
Wang Jianting happily went to the inner room to find Zhang Lan, Wang Jiannan and others.
Since nine o'clock in the morning, when I came here from Nanluoguxiang.
Zhang Lan and the others were never idle.
Although the apprentices were able to do the work, they still wanted to help clean up the place where Wang Jianye lived.
Wang Jianye rented tables, chairs and benches from the pub next door.
They are all very clean.
But Zhang Lan, who had some free time, couldn't help but take Wang Jiannan to wipe the table, wash chopsticks, etc.
As for Wang Jianwu, he took Chen Xiaobao to the street for a stroll.
"Mom, I have good news for you."
Wang Jianting excitedly found Zhang Lan who was busy.
"What good news?"
Zhang Lan never stopped working.
"My brother has a girlfriend!"
After hearing what Wang Jianting said, Zhang Lan said in surprise:
"Really? Great. Who is it?"
"I'm Senior Chen."
"Okay, okay, your brother finally got it."
The smile on Zhang Lan's face never stopped.
I didn't have the heart to wipe the table. I always wanted to go to the kitchen to see Wang Jianye and his girlfriend Chen Kejia.
In Wang Jianye's kitchen, Chen Kejia is not the only one helping him.
There were also a group of apprentices helping him.
After all, there are twenty dishes to cook.
He simply couldn't handle it all by himself.
If there were no apprentices who could give orders, work, and do it well.
I'm afraid that by three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the hunger will be gone.
I can't even eat.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The apprentices bought several large bags of steamed buns.
Master Luo was also invited.
Chai Wenshan also came here.
Wang Jianye arranged for several apprentices to buy a few dozen bottles of Beibingyang soda, and they have returned now.
More than thirty bottles of Arctic Ocean soda were placed against the wall.
Wang Jianwu, who had just finished a stroll and was taking Chen Xiaobao home, saw the soda and immediately walked over.
“There are so many Arctic Oceans.”
Chen Xiaobao watched from the side, with light in his eyes as well.
Wang Jianwu swallowed his saliva. But he definitely couldn't drink before the meal started.
He can drink as much as he wants when the meal is served.
So many bottles.
Brothers Wang Jianwu and Chen Xiaobao have never drunk so much in their entire lives, let alone seen it.
"Brother, have you prepared the food?"
Wang Jianwu strolled over and came to the kitchen to wander around.
"Go, don't make trouble, dinner will be served soon."
Wang Jianye drove him away.
When I’m cooking, what I hate most is people waiting around.
People who cook frequently understand this.
It’s twelve o’clock noon.
Wang Jianye made the last dish.
"Okay, come to the table."
Because there were twenty people eating.
There was not enough room at one table.
We'll need three tables.
As for these twenty dishes.
Wang Jianye specially made each dish in large portions, enough for three plates.
So every time a dish is ready, Wang Jianye serves it on three plates.
In this way, each of the three tables can enjoy these twenty dishes.
The table and benches are set.
The dishes and chopsticks were brought.
The steamed buns were divided into three portions, put on plates and placed on the table. Whoever wanted to eat could take one.
When the last dish was served by the apprentices.
Chen Kejia helped Wang Jianye take off his apron, washed his hands and went to the yard.
Invite Zhang Lan, Chai Wenshan and his disciples to come and sit down.
There were six people sitting at Wang Jianye's table.
They are Wang Jianye himself, Chen Kejia, Zhang Lan, Chai Wenshan, Master Luo, and Chen Xiaoyang.
The rest sat at two other tables.
The dishes on these three tables are all the same.
Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Hunan cuisine.
Wang Jianye has made four representative dishes for each of these five major cuisines.
Of course, these representative dishes can definitely be bought in the vegetable market.
If he can't buy it, Wang Jianye will change to something else.
For example, some seafood and vegetables from other seasons.
No matter how rich Wang Jianye is, he can't buy these.
I know everyone is hungry.
Wang Jianye didn't say much, just told everyone to eat more and drink more, and eat and drink well.
"It's delicious."
"It's delicious."
"It seems our master's cooking skills have improved again."
"Nannan, try this, it smells so good."
"..."
Most of these meals are of state banquet quality.
A small number of them are at legendary level.
It will definitely make people have an endless aftertaste.
Next door is the Daqianmen Bistro.
It's noon now and there are many customers.
The guests who were drinking could smell the delicious food from next door.
Everyone stretched their necks and sniffed hard.
"Master Niu, you have eaten and seen this dish before, do you know what it is?"
Fan Jinyou asked Uncle Niu.
The shadow puppet show performers and tricycle riders like Cai Quanwu all looked at Uncle Niu curiously.
"Hiss, there must be scallion-fried sea cucumber, Dongpo pork, Dongpo pork elbow, Mapo tofu, and stir-fried pork with peppers..."
Uncle Niu is indeed a foodie.
He mentioned several dishes in a row.
Fan Jinyou next to him was puzzled: "Scallion-fried sea cucumber is Shandong cuisine, Dongpo pork is Sichuan cuisine, and pepper-fried pork is Hunan cuisine... How can there be so many cuisines?"
"Yeah, there's no restaurant near our tavern, so who can cook their own food?"
Pianerye and Fan Jinyou have similar ideas.
Uncle Niu sniffed the aroma of the food carefully and frowned: "I estimate that there are at least more than ten dishes here, and from several cuisines."
"It must be Master Wang next door. He has a party at his house, and he is holding it here. He borrowed a lot of tables, chairs and benches, and bought a lot of drinks."
Xu Huizhen was behind the counter, explaining to several customers.
"So this is ah."
"I really envy those who can eat at Master Wang's house."
"Wow, so many delicious foods."
"We can't stand the fragrance just by smelling it from outside."
"..."
