Gao Qianjin continued, "From today on, we will increase everyone's salary and benefits. I know that I may have let you down in some places in the past, but from now on, we must work together to make Tianfu Food House stronger."

When these words were spoken, the employees were surprised at first, and then a look of joy appeared on their faces.

"Boss, is this true?" an employee couldn't help but ask.

Gao Qianjin nodded solemnly: "Of course it's true. We can't let any more talent leave. We need to make sure everyone can feel at ease working here."

After the meeting, the employees of Tianfu Food House discussed the matter privately.

"I didn't expect that after Xiao Li left, we could still have such a good thing."

"Yeah, it seems the boss really wants to change."

"Speaking of which, we have to thank Xiao Li for leaving, otherwise we wouldn't have had this improvement in treatment."

Someone sighed: "Although Xiao Li's death was somewhat unexpected, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

"But we can't be like Xiao Li. We have to work hard for the hotel."

In the following days, Gao Qianjin personally supervised the work in the kitchen and strictly controlled the quality of the dishes.

Li Hui is busy optimizing the hotel's service processes and improving customers' dining experience.

……

Wang Jianye was sitting in a private room of his own Wang's Hotel.

Hot steam rose from the teacup in his hand, and his eyes were deep and peaceful.

"Dad, the ten apprentices you accepted, including Chen Xiaoyang, have now become chefs for state banquets!"

Wang Bingbing's cheerful voice broke the silence in the room. She was wearing a light blue dress, looking fresh and lively.

Wang Jianye smiled slightly, his eyes showing satisfaction: "Yes, the children have made great progress."

Wang Bingbing blinked and moved closer to Wang Jianye: "Dad, do you plan to take in another disciple?"

Wang Jianye put down the teacup, looked out the window with a serious expression, and said, "I want to find some more potential talents to pass on our craft."

This news was like a whirlwind, instantly sweeping across the entire catering industry in the city.

In Fengze Garden, Jiang Qinfeng paced back and forth in the lobby anxiously, sweat beads on his forehead and the wooden floor under his feet creaking.

"This is a great opportunity. We have to send someone and he must become Wang Jianye's apprentice!" Jiang Qinfeng shouted at manager Zhang Mingsheng, his voice full of urgency.

Zhang Mingsheng nodded repeatedly, his face full of anxiety: "Boss, I understand. If our people can learn Master Wang's skills, our business will be amazing! But the chefs in our store have varying levels of skill, so we have to choose carefully."

As a result, a fierce cooking competition broke out within Fengze Garden.

In the kitchen, there was smoke and the sound of pots and pans colliding could be heard constantly.

The chefs tried their best to stand out in this competition.

A young chef named Daniu, whose family is poor and whose parents are in poor health, hopes to become Wang Jianye's apprentice and change his family's destiny.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead. He was cutting the ingredients quickly with the kitchen knife in his hand, his eyes full of determination.

Inside the Tianfu Restaurant, Gao Qianjin sat on a chair with a serious expression, his fingers tapping on the table.

"Li Hui, quickly pick out a few smart ones and prepare to go and become Wang Jianye's apprentices," Gao Qianjin ordered.

Li Hui responded, "Master, I'll do it right away. However, the competition will definitely be fierce, so we have to put in some effort."

Tianfu Food House then conducted rigorous training for the selected personnel, inviting masters to impart their experience and practice various classic dishes.

A young man named Aqiang has been passionate about cooking since he was a child and dreams of becoming a master like Wang Jianye one day.

He worked extremely hard in training and practiced until late at night every day.

In Cuihua Building, Chef Xu and Manager Zhang were also discussing nervously.

"We can't miss this opportunity. We have to select the best person." said Chef Xu.

Manager Zhang frowned and said, "But the competition is definitely fierce. We have to think long-term."

They conducted a series of selections in the store and finally selected several chefs with potential.

All of a sudden, all the restaurants in the city started to move, and everyone wanted to seize this opportunity.

Wang Jianye knew the reason very well. He said to his daughter Wang Bingbing, "My daughter, you need to set up a standard and process for recruiting apprentices. We can't let this get messed up."

Wang Bingbing nodded obediently, returned to the room, sat at the desk, tapped the table lightly with the pen in her hand, and fell into deep thought.

"If I want to pass on my father's cooking skills, I need to find someone who truly loves cooking, has talent, and can endure hardship," she thought to herself. "I also need to consider his character. He can't have bad intentions."

She got up, went to Wang Jianye's room, and had many exchanges and discussions with her father.

"Dad, I think you need to have a certain cooking foundation first, and then go through layers of assessments." Wang Bingbing said seriously.

Wang Jianye nodded slightly: "Well, we also need to examine their understanding of ingredients and their ability to innovate."

After some discussion between father and daughter, they finally decided on the rules.

Outside of Wang's Quanxi Restaurant, a notice for recruiting apprentices was posted.

In an instant, the entrance of Wang's Hotel was surrounded by crowds of people.

"Make way, make way, I'm sent by Fengze Garden."

"I'm from Tianfu Restaurant, don't squeeze me."

Among the crowd, there were not only representatives from major hotels, but also many young people with dreams of cooking.

A young man named Zhao Gang, with a determined light in his eyes.

"I have loved cooking since I was a child, and I must become Master Wang's apprentice." He swore secretly in his heart.

A girl named Lin Xiao held her companion's hand and said, "We must perform well, maybe we will be selected."

She came from a humble background but had a great talent and passion for cooking.

The Wang's Restaurant was bustling with people.

"Everyone, be quiet and follow the procedure." Wang Bingbing's voice rang out.

Everyone then quieted down and registered one by one.

At the registration desk, the guy in charge was extremely busy.

"Name, place of origin, previous cooking experience," the waiter asked loudly.

"My name is Li Qiang. I'm from the city of Beijing. I used to help cook in a small restaurant."

"My name is Sun Mei. I'm from the south and I've been teaching myself cooking for many years."

After the registration ended, the screening began.

Wang Jianye sat in the room, looking at every piece of information carefully.

"This is somewhat basic, but the talent doesn't seem to be enough." He frowned slightly.

"This has potential." His eyes lit up.

After rounds of screening, fewer and fewer people are left.

Some of those who were eliminated were dejected, while others said unwillingly: "I will definitely do it next time."

Those who stayed behind were both excited and nervous.

Zhao Gang clenched his fists: "It must succeed."

Lin Xiao bit her lip.

The final test began, the stove was burning, and the chopping board was filled with ingredients.

In the kitchen of Wang's All-Inclusive Restaurant, the air was steaming hot, and the contestants stood nervously in front of the stove. Zhao Gang's palms were full of sweat, and he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

His eyes were fixed on the ingredients in front of him, and he silently recalled the previous preparation steps.

Lin Xiao's face was slightly red, and beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks, but her eyes were still focused, and the kitchen knife in her hand was cutting the vegetables quickly and accurately.

A young man named Chen Yu performed exceptionally well.

He moved with skill and looked confident, as if the entire kitchen was his stage.

Wang Jianye stood aside, his eyes stern and focused.

"Let's start, let me see what you can do."

Everyone started to work, the sounds of cutting vegetables and frying vegetables intertwined.

The fragrance filled the air, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

"What's going on with this Wang's Quanxi Restaurant today? It smells so good." An old man passing by stopped and looked inside curiously.

"I heard that Master Wang is accepting disciples." said a young man.

During the assessment, an accident occurred.

One contestant accidentally cut his hand and blood was flowing out.

He looked pale, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I can continue."

The person next to him quickly handed him gauze to bandage the wound.

Another contestant found that the prepared ingredients were not fresh enough, so he had an idea and adjusted the cooking method to try to make up for the shortcomings of the ingredients.

After the assessment, Wang Jianye already had a candidate in mind.

"You guys, stay here." He pointed at a few people, including Chen Yu.

Those who were chosen cheered, while those who were not chosen looked disappointed.

The eliminated Danniu walked out of Wang's Hotel silently with tears in his eyes.

"My family is counting on me to make a name for myself. How am I going to explain myself if I'm not selected this time?" he thought to himself.

Aqiang was also a little frustrated, but he quickly cheered up: "If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time. I will go back and practice my cooking skills hard."

In the restaurants in the old city, people were still discussing the matter of recruiting disciples.

“I don’t know whose family was chosen.”

“It would be great if our people could be selected.”

And in all Wang’s restaurants, a new inheritance has just begun.

Chen Yu and others followed Wang Jianye into the kitchen.

……

Wang Jianye cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Chen Xiaoyang, Ma Hua, Cheng Jie, Wang Yijun... Today I will hand over these new disciples to you.

They are just like you were back then.

I hope you can teach them everything you have learned and introduce them to cooking."

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively.

Wang Jianye continued: “First, teach them to be patient and not impatient.

Mastering cooking skills is not something that can be achieved overnight. Every step and every detail must be thoroughly understood by new apprentices.

Secondly, we must focus on the basics, from the selection of ingredients, the training of knife skills, to the control of heat, so that they can lay a solid foundation.

Furthermore, they should be encouraged to innovate, but the innovation should be based on respect and understanding of tradition.

Also, we need to cultivate their moral character. Cooking is like being a human being. If the heart is upright, the food will taste delicious. "

Chen Xiaoyang took the lead and took a step forward, his posture straight and his eyes determined.

"Master, don't worry, I will do my best to teach my fellow apprentices everything I know."

His voice is steady and powerful, making people feel extremely reassured.

Ma Hua also immediately stated: "Master, I will not let you down and will definitely lead my new apprentice well."

His face was filled with enthusiasm and confidence.

The other disciples also nodded in agreement, saying that they would teach the new disciple seriously.

Wang Jianye nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes swept over Chen Xiaoyang, Ma Hua and others in turn, his eyes full of trust.

"I believe in you. Our cooking skills should not only be passed down, but also carried forward. I'll leave my fellow apprentices in your care."

They stood aside, their faces showing both nervousness and excitement. They looked at their seniors such as Chen Xiaoyang and Ma Hua, their hearts full of anticipation and longing.

……

In the following days, Chen Xiaoyang began to carefully guide his new apprentices Li Ming, Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Yu.

"Come, Li Ming, Zhao Xiaoxuan, and Chen Yu, look at these ingredients. Make sure to pick the fresh and juicy ones." Chen Xiaoyang took them to the vegetable market and carefully taught them how to distinguish the quality of the ingredients.

Li Ming watched carefully and asked questions from time to time: "Brother, then these wilted vegetables cannot be used?"

Chen Xiaoyang patiently answered: "It's not that it can't be used at all, but the taste and nutrition will be worse. All of our Wang's restaurants pursue quality."

Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Yu listened attentively and nodded frequently.

Back in the kitchen, Chen Xiaoyang picked up a kitchen knife and said as he demonstrated: "Knife skills are the foundation of the foundation. Vegetables must be cut evenly so that they are heated evenly when cooked."

Li Ming carefully picked up the kitchen knife to practice, and Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Yu followed suit.

MCA focuses on guiding the control of heat.

"Look at the flames. Different dishes require different heat. Stir-frying over high heat can lock in moisture, while slow-cooking over low heat can make the flavor richer." Ma Hua stood in front of the stove and patiently explained to Wang Yue, Lin Yu and Zhou Kai.

Wang Yue stared at the stove without blinking, memorizing every key point. Lin Yu and Zhou Kai were also concentrating, trying their hand from time to time.

Under the patient guidance of Chen Xiaoyang, Ma Hua and others, the new apprentices gradually mastered the basic cooking skills and are full of confidence in the future.

Wang Jianye looked at all this and nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of satisfaction for the inheritance.

Li Ming said excitedly: "With the guidance of our seniors, we are making rapid progress."

Zhao Xiaoxuan also smiled and said, "Yes, we must work hard and not let Master down."

……

When the major restaurants in the city found out that Wang Jianye's new apprentices did not include the people they had sent, the entire catering industry was stirred up again.

In Fengze Garden, Jiang Qinfeng was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand heavily to the ground, splashing tea everywhere.

"This Wang Jianye doesn't even accept any of our people! He's deliberately making things difficult for us!" Jiang Qinfeng's face turned pale, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

Zhang Mingsheng said cautiously, "Boss, don't be angry. Maybe the people we sent are not skilled enough."

Jiang Qinfeng glared at him: "Not skilled enough? I think Wang Jianye is deliberately making things difficult for me!"

In Tianfu Food House, Gao Qianjin was also furious.

"What the hell is this! Wang Jianye doesn't like any of the people we carefully selected?" Gao Qianjin paced back and forth with his hands on his hips.

Li Hui said helplessly: "Master, what should we do now?"

Gao Qianjin said fiercely: "What else can we do? Keep thinking of ways. I don't believe we can't find a chance to learn his skills!" (End of this chapter)
