Chapter 37 Zhou Qingde is shocked

Zhou Qingde nodded: "Yes, among all the dishes for lunch today, this is the only one that is the best, and it is far superior to the other dishes."

The smile on Sun Qu's face faded a little bit, and Cao Xiaodong said awkwardly: "Master Zhou, this dish is not made by me."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingde was stunned: "You said this leek and dried tofu dish was not made by you?!"

The other masters also looked at him in surprise and couldn't help whispering to each other.

"It wasn't done by Xiao Sun's apprentice. How is this possible?"

"Yes, among all the apprentices in the kitchen, only Xiao Sun's apprentice has the best talent. Apart from him, which other apprentice can make leek dried tofu of such a high level?"

"Could it be that without our knowledge, the level of one of the apprentices has suddenly improved?"

"..."

Several masters couldn't figure it out. Who else could have done it if not Cao Xiaodong?
Cao Xiaodong explained: "Master Zhou, this dish was actually made by Wang Jianye."

"Who is Wang Jianye?"

"Never heard of it."

"Is he new? But there haven't been any new apprentices recently."

"..."

"Wang Jianye must be Master Chai's apprentice."

Zhou Qingde still remembered it, because when he first arrived in the morning, Chai Wenshan brought Wang Jianye to see him, and Wang Jianye reported his name at that time.

Although he didn't take it seriously, he still remembered it.

Master Qian frowned and thought: "Master Chai's apprentice? Are you talking about Chai Wenshan?"

Zhou Qingde nodded.

Master Qian remembered, "I remember that the apprentice Xiao Chai took in wasn't that great. He's been here for three years but his reputation isn't that great. If he really had the talent to cook dishes of this level, he would have been known to others a long time ago. Did you mention the wrong person?"

Cao Xiaodong shook his head: "No, it's this dish he made, because when I found him, he said he would make this."

"So it's really him. Call him over and ask him."

Zhou Qingde said quickly.

"Hey, okay."

Cao Xiaodong responded, then found Wang Jianye and told him what happened.

Before Wang Jianye got excited, Chai Wenshan next to him got excited first: "What, Master Zhou wants Wang Jianye to come over? Okay, Jianye, let's go over there quickly and don't keep them waiting for too long."

Chai Wenshan, Sun Qu and Zhou Qingde entered Fengze Garden at about the same time and became apprentices at the same time.

At that time, Zhou Qingde was the envy of the apprentices because he was so talented. He could learn anything and made rapid progress.

Chai Wenshan and Wang Jianye followed Cao Xiaodong to Zhou Qingde.

"Master Zhou, you are looking for me."

Wang Jianye looked at the other party's shocked expression and almost guessed why the other party called him over.

"Xiaodong just said that you made this leek and dried tofu dish for lunch today?"

"Yes, Master Zhou, I made this dish."

Wang Jianye nodded.

Zhou Qingde was very curious: "Then can you tell me what you did at that time?"

“That’s what I did…”

Wang Jianye explained. His cooking skills for this dish of leek and dried tofu have reached the level of a master chef, and his understanding of this dish has reached a new level.

So when faced with Zhou Qingde's doubts, he could explain it very clearly, because this was his true level.

After hearing Wang Jianye explain step by step the process of making this leek and dried tofu dish, Zhou Qingde believed that this dish was made by him, otherwise he would not have such a deep understanding of it.

"You really gave me a surprise. I thought Xiaodong was the most talented among you apprentices, but I didn't expect you to be the most hidden one."

Zhou Qingde said with a smile.

Master Qian, who was standing next to him, looked at Wang Jianye and said with great emotion: "Young people nowadays are getting stronger and stronger. Our Fengze Garden will definitely have successors in the future and will be prosperous."

"Yes, first there was Cao Xiaodong, then there was Wang Jianye. There are so many big restaurants out there, but none of them can produce as many talents as our Fengze Garden."

"When these two children grow up, they will definitely become the face of our Fengze Garden."

"..."

Several masters praised it.

After all, Wang Jianye is just an apprentice now, but he can cook a dish at the level of a first-class chef. This proves that he is very talented. You know, many third- and second-class chefs can't reach this level, but Wang Jianye can actually do it.

After a period of time, Wang Jianye's cooking skills will surely continue to improve, and he will have the opportunity to become the next chef in the kitchen and join the ranks of these head chefs.

Zhou Qingde looked at Wang Jianye and asked, "What level have you achieved now?"

"I have already cooked all the ten dishes that were to be tested to a level that is worthy of being cooked on the stove. The level of the hot and sour shredded potatoes and the leek and dried tofu dish are the same, both of which are at the level of a master chef."

Wang Jianye talked about his current situation.

Everyone was very surprised that there was actually a dish that could reach the level of the first-class chef.

Especially knowing that the spicy and sour potato shreds Wang Jianye made yesterday were only at the level of those made by the second kitchen staff including Sun Qu, Chai Wenshan and Cao Xiaodong.

They were even more surprised that Wang Jianye had improved the dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes from the level of a second-class cook to the level of a first-class cook in just one night.

Isn't this too fast?

Seeing Chai Wenshan so shocked, Zhou Qingde was curious: "You are his master, right? How come you don't know his specific level? Why are you so surprised?"

"Master Zhou, I'm surprised that Wang Jianye has improved so quickly. The hot and sour potato shreds we had for lunch yesterday were made by my apprentice Wang Jianye. That dish is almost as good as mine, both of us are second-class chefs. But only one night has passed, and Wang Jianye said that he has improved this dish to the same level as the leek and dried tofu dish, which is the level of a first-class chef. I didn't know this before, how can I not be surprised?"

Chai Wenshan explained with a helpless smile.

"Ah? Wang Jianye improved the quality of this dish in just one night?"

Zhou Qingde was even more shocked.

After hearing this, he understood why Chai Wenshan was so shocked when he heard about Wang Jianye's current level. If it were him, he would definitely be very shocked too.

After all, if you want to improve a dish from the level of a second-class chef to the level of a first-class chef, it takes a long time of practice.

It is not something that can be mastered overnight.

And now Wang Jianye has really mastered it overnight.

How can this not be shocking.

"I enjoyed the spicy and sour potato shreds yesterday. I thought Xiaodong made them, but it turned out to be Wang Jianye."

Zhou Qingde sighed, and after coming back to his senses, he said to Wang Jianye with a little excitement: "Can you make us a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds now?"
