Zheng Hao is the manager of Fengze Garden and Jiang Rongqing's confidant.

At this moment, I am worried about what Jiang Rongqing is worried about and thinking about what Jiang Rongqing is thinking about.

After racking my brains and thinking hard, I came up with a bad idea.

"Boss, how about this? We can arrange our own people to be apprentices to Master Wang, and those who have been apprenticed to Master Wang before,

Now, after only one year, many people have reached the level of the first cook. When the people we arrange have reached the level of the first cook, we can find various reasons to squeeze out Master Wang’s apprentices.”

Hearing Zheng Hao’s idea.

Jiang Rongqing's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea.

Wang Jianye can teach apprentices, so let's assign him a few apprentices.

These apprentices must all be people who have a close relationship with Jiang Rongqing to ensure that they will be loyal to Fengze Garden.

If there is a conflict between Fengzeyuan and Wang Jianye in the future, make sure they stand on the side of Fengzeyuan.

The more Jiang Rongqing thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, so he made up his mind: "Let's do it!"

In the past two days, Zheng Hao arranged for Wang Jianye to take care of the two people.

Wang Jianye was still puzzled: "Didn't our boss stipulate that I can only have ten apprentices? Why is he giving me two now?"

Zheng Hao explained with a smile: "It's like this, these two people were arranged by the boss's friend. We want them to learn cooking from you, Master Wang, and our boss agreed. Master Wang, you see..."

"Well, I'll just take them with me."

Wang Jianye had no objection.

Zheng Hao added: "You just need to teach these two people, don't take them as your disciples. They already have a master outside, so it's not appropriate for them to take you as their master. Of course, they will give you a tuition fee of 3 yuan per month. What do you think?"

Wang Jianye nodded: "Oh, I will just teach you, but I won't take you as my apprentice. That's fine."

Seeing Wang Jianye readily agreed.

Zheng Hao smiled happily and quickly greeted Wang Jianye with the two people he brought with him.

"Hello, Master Wang. My name is Zhang Jin."

"Hello, Master Wang. My name is Li Tong."

They both look only sixteen or seventeen years old.

You are young, so it is suitable for you to learn anything.

Wang Jianye asked: "Since you have paid the tuition, I will teach you how to cook. What is your level now?"

Zhang Jin: "After learning cooking for a year, I basically know all the kitchen tools, as well as how to clean and simply prepare various dishes."

Li Tong: "Me too."

Wang Jianye asked them to each make a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds to test their cooking skills.

The two of them did as they were told.

Soon, a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds was ready.

As one of China's top cooking masters, Wang Jianye has already trained several apprentices who are at the level of chefs, and it is enough for them to check.

After carefully looking at the appearance, color, texture and taste of the dishes, Cheng Jie and Wang Yijun gave very professional and well-reasoned evaluations.

Wang Jianye nodded after hearing this: "How do you think we should teach them?"

Cheng Jie said without thinking: "First..."

What he said made sense, and Wang Yijun beside him added to it.

With these two highly skilled head chefs, it is more than enough to teach Zhang Jin and Li Tong.

As for Wang Jianye.

He didn't have the leisure to personally teach two students who were not even his apprentices.

After all, he also had to collect famous Chinese dishes that had been lost, organize and improve them into recipes, and develop new dishes. He didn't have much time to teach students in person.

As for the tuition fees paid by Zhang Jin and Li Tong, Wang Jianye divided them between Cheng Jie and Wang Yijun.

These two people have been competing with each other since they first became Wang Jianye's disciples, and neither of them is willing to give in.

They were promoted together to become third-stove masters, together to become second-stove masters, and together to become first-stove masters.

Now each of them has a student, and they compete with each other to see whose students make faster progress.

In the past, Wang Jianye had to make two large pots of braised pork in the morning and two large pots in the afternoon every day, otherwise Fengzeyuan would not have enough to sell.

Now Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie have reached a very high level. When making the braised pork, they are mainly responsible for the process, and Wang Jianye just needs to give some pointers from the side.

Compared to before, Wang Jianye is indeed a lot more relaxed now.

I believe that after a while, most of Wang Jianye’s work will be taken over by his apprentices.

Wang Jianye will be more relaxed and comfortable in the future.

……

A week passed.

Zheng Hao arranged three more students for Wang Jianye, saying that someone else was arranged to come in through Jiang Rongqing's back door.

Moreover, the three of them were in the same situation as the two people who were arranged to come in earlier. They had already found a master outside and could not become Wang Jianye's disciple. They could only pay tuition and become students to learn cooking.

Chen Xiaoyang noticed something was wrong and went to talk to Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye guessed that Jiang Rongqing might have done it on purpose, "Just do the same as before. As long as they pay the tuition, you just need to teach them well. You don't need to worry about other things."

Chen Xiaoyang nodded seriously and went back to talk to his fellow apprentices.

The reason why Wang Jianye's apprentices were able to make such rapid progress was, firstly, because Wang Jianye knew how to teach, and secondly, because Wang Jianye often let them taste the state banquet-level dishes he made.

Every state-banquet-level dish made by Wang Jianye will improve people's IQ, lifespan, strength, and attention span after eating it.

The more Wang Jianye's disciples eat, the better their talents will be, and they will naturally make rapid progress.

Now, no matter what calculations and problems the students arranged by Jiang Rongqing have, if Wang Jianye does not let them taste the dishes he cooks, their progress will not be fast.

Moreover, as the head chef of Fengze Garden, Wang Jianye has trained many highly skilled apprentices, so he does not have many opportunities to cook himself.

In other words, as long as Wang Jianye does not take the initiative to cook for them, they will not be able to eat the food cooked by Wang Jianye, will not be able to improve their talents, and their progress will not be accelerated.

……

In the afternoon, Manager Zheng Hao found Wang Jianye and said that foreign leaders visiting China would be entertained at Fengze Garden in three days.

Let Fengzeyuan prepare the reception and Wang Jianye will be the chef.

For such an important matter, of course we need to notify you in advance and make preparations early.

And the menu has been delivered to Fengzeyuan, mainly very light Huaiyang cuisine.

Fengzeyuan is the ceiling of Shandong cuisine in Beijing, and that is why Huaiyang cuisine is entrusted to Fengzeyuan.

It is precisely because Fengzeyuan has an all-round master like Wang Jianye who can cook all kinds of cuisine and cook them all very well.

After getting the menu, Wang Jianye told Zhou Qingde that there were several high-end ingredients and important seasonings missing, and asked him to hurry up and arrange someone to purchase them.

Zhou Qingde did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for Qiao Jianliang to go for procurement.

There are several dishes on the menu that take a long time to prepare and need to be prepared in advance.

Wang Jianye did not delay and started working immediately.

In the front hall, head waiter Xu Youliang had a private room reserved and cleaned up, and it was not allowed to be used by guests within three days.

The kitchen was busy, the front hall was busy, everything was going on in an orderly manner. (End of this chapter)
