Chapter 39: Bringing Three Meat Dishes Home
Zhou Qingde nodded: "It seems that you are still a filial child. Okay, from today on, you can bring home a meat dish every day."

With his words, Wang Jianye knew that the matter was settled.

Because Zhou Qingde is the manager of the kitchen, he basically has the final say on matters in the kitchen.

"Wang Jianye is still an apprentice, but now he can actually bring meat and vegetables home. Isn't this treatment too good?"

"I'm so envious. I've been an apprentice for almost three years, but I still don't get to take any meat or vegetables home."

"When will I be able to bring back meat and vegetables like Wang Jianye?"

"I really envy Wang Jianye. He brings meat and vegetables home every day. This way his family doesn't have to spend money to buy meat in the future, and they can still have meat to eat every day."

"..."

Most of those who envy Wang Jianye are apprentices.

They received a meager salary and were particularly eager to be like the chefs who could cook and bring home meat and vegetables every day.

"Thank you, Master Zhou."

Wang Jianye bowed to him.

Zhou Qingde hurriedly helped him up with a smile: "You don't have to be so grateful to me, this is what you deserve."

Then Zhou Qingde said to the envious crowd, "If our apprentices at Fengze Garden can reach the level of being able to cook in advance like Wang Jianye, and have a few dishes that reach the level of a head chef, then they can take a meat dish home in advance."

After hearing Zhou Qingde's words, many apprentices became excited.

"That's great. I guess I have to work hard on cooking."

"I must improve my skills and bring back some meat and vegetables to make my family happy."

"I've decided that I'm going to work hard on my cooking in the future."

"..."

Zhou Qingde was very satisfied after hearing the responses from the crowd.

He looked at Wang Jianye and smiled, "See, you have become a role model for them."

"Thank you, Master Zhou. I won't let you down next time."

Wang Jianye thanked him.

Zhou Qingde gave a few more instructions and then called Wang Jianye's master Chai Wenshan over.

"Master Chai has taught a good apprentice."

"Oh, Master Zhou, I really don't deserve to be called that. It all depends on the child's own efforts. I feel ashamed to be his master."

Chai Wenshan's mouth was so wide open that it almost reached his ears.

He was really happy in his heart.

This time he was really proud of himself.

Everyone dispersed.

Chai Wenshan came to Wang Jianye in a trance and said happily, "Good disciple, you have won honor for the master. So, today I will bring you my two meat dishes as a reward. How about that?"

"Oh Master, that's great, thank you."

Wang Jianye said in surprise.

He didn't expect that Chai Wenshan would actually give him meat dishes, so he could bring three meat dishes home today.

You know, taking three meat dishes home from the kitchen is a treat only the head chef can enjoy.

And Wang Jianye is still just an apprentice now.

An apprentice can have such treatment, even if it is only for one day, but it is also very enviable. Sha Zhu looked at Wang Jianye with envy: "Brother Wang, you can bring back three meat dishes today, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Wang Jianye looked at Sha Zhu happily.

Sha Zhu was very envious and said: "This is too good, you are just an apprentice, you haven't even started working yet, but you can get such treatment."

Wang Jianye patted his shoulder proudly and said, "You are envious, right? Then you should work harder and improve your skills. Master Zhou just said that any apprentice who has reached the level of being able to cook in advance and has a dish that can reach the level of the head chef can take a meat dish home in advance. You have to work hard now."

After Wang Jianye's consolation, Sha Zhu still felt sour: "Brother Wang, no one in your family does this, but my father is a great chef. My father is so good, so logically I should have better conditions to learn cooking than you, and I am also the third generation inheritor of Tan's cuisine. But why do I feel like you have nothing, but you have become so good?"

Sha Zhu entered Fengze Garden as an apprentice, introduced by his father He Daqing.

He Daqing used to be a chef at Fengze Garden. His skills were very high. When He Daqing first came to Fengze Garden, he conquered all the chefs with one dish of Sanbai Sauce and successfully stayed in Fengze Garden.

But recently he said that he was not feeling well and took a long vacation, so he hasn't come to work in Fengzeyuan.

Wang Jianye had watched the TV series and probably knew that He Daqing was in good health at the moment, but he was just pretending to be sick because he was about to abandon Sha Zhu and He Yushui and run away with a widow named Bai.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Wang Jianye said, "I have been in Fengze Garden for three years and will soon take part in the grading assessment. You have only been here for a short time. Isn't it normal that your level is not as good as mine? Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until you study and practice well here and put in more effort. Sooner or later, you will find out..."

"What did you find?"

Sha Zhu asked expectantly.

Wang Jianye then smiled and said, "I find that the gap between you and me is getting bigger and bigger."

"Tsk, Brother Wang, this is boring. Normally, I would be feeling sad right now, and you should be comforting me." Sha Zhu said dissatisfiedly.

"You still need this? Are you a man?"

Wang Jianye retorted with a smile.

……

During this afternoon, Wang Jianye gained another 40 experience points, plus those gained at noon, a total of experience points.

"System, upgrade the stir-fried kidney dish to the first-class level for me."

[Ding, the fried kidney (third stove level 16+) has been upgraded successfully after spending 35 experience points. Congratulations to the host for mastering the fried kidney (first stove level 51+). ]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a recipe, which has been put into the system space. ]

"Today, I upgraded the three dishes of Spicy Shredded Potatoes, Chives and Dried Tofu, and Stir-fried Kidney to the level of a master chef, and I got three recipes in total."

"If I want to ensure absolute stability during the assessment, I need to obtain nine recipes in case I draw a dish that I don't know how to make."

"So I'm still short of six recipes. I have to find a way to get them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Wang Jianye counted the goods he received.

Then he took the lunch box full of meat and vegetables that he deserved, and the extra lunch box that his master gave him as a reward, and walked out with Sha Zhu.

When they arrived at the carport, Wang Jianye pushed out his bicycle and asked Sha Zhu to carry him on his back. "I carried you yesterday, why do I have to carry you again today?"

Shazhu was a little unhappy.

"So, do you want to carry it?"

"I'll carry it."

Sha Zhu said hurriedly.

Complaints may be complaints, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Sha Zhu was very smart. He knew that Wang Jianye was very skilled and that he could often ask him for advice in the future and that his knowledge would be useful, so he had to greet him with a smile.
