Chapter 70 Congratulations Master Wang (Please read)
Zhou Qingde was extremely shocked.

Ever since he was an apprentice, he has been called a genius.

He lived up to everyone's expectations and succeeded in the grading assessment with a bang.

Not only did he successfully pass the apprentice grading assessment, he also successfully passed the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master and became second kitchen master.

Zhou Qingde has always been proud of his talent.

But now, after seeing Wang Jianye's talent, he couldn't help but feel that his talent was considered strong in front of ordinary people, but in front of Wang Jianye, it was really nothing. Compared with Wang Jianye, his talent was simply not worth mentioning.

This was Zhou Qingde’s truest thought at the moment.

"Then let him try."

Zhou Qingde took a deep breath and said to Master Zhao.

Master Zhao nodded solemnly, "If Wang Jianye can really pass the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen master this time, doesn't that mean he is even better than you?"

"That's definitely better than me. It took me a long time to accumulate enough experience, but Wang Jianye, I heard it only took him a week to achieve this..."

Zhou Qingde said with emotion, "A true genius is about to appear in our Fengze Garden."

Master Zhao suggested: "When the time comes, call Lao Liu, Lao Zhang and the others, and we will assess Wang Jianye's level together."

The Lao Liu and Lao Zhang he mentioned are both head chefs of the same level as him.

There are a total of six head chefs in Fengze Garden. This time, Master Zhao plans to call them all to be judges to see how good Wang Jianye is.

Zhou Qingde nodded, "Let's do it this way."

……

There are many customers at this time of day, so the kitchen is quite busy.

Wang Jianye has become the third stove master and is officially qualified to cook.

However, he still followed his master Chai Wenshan and listened to his instructions to cook the dishes ordered by the guests.

Originally, Chai Wenshan didn't want to direct Wang Jianye to do it, and wanted him to prepare well for the afternoon assessment.

But Wang Jianye was unwilling to do so, saying that his level could only be improved step by step in the process of cooking. If he cooked more dishes for the guests now, he would be more confident for the afternoon assessment.

Therefore, Chai Wenshan did not force it, but assigned some dishes to Wang Jianye and asked him to cook.

"If you pass the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen chef this afternoon, we will be at the same level, right? By then, even if you are willing to be ordered around by me, I will not be able to do so. After all, we are at the same level now."

Chai Wenshan said with emotion while cooking.

Wang Jianye smiled and said, "Master, look at what you said. No matter what, I am your apprentice. Even if I become a state banquet chef in the future, I am still willing to let you arrange work for me."

"I dare not, I dare not. How can a chef assign work to the chef of a state banquet? If I really dare to do this, I will be laughed at."

Chai Wenshan was in a good mood.

Although he said that, but thinking about the day when he would become the master of the state banquet chef, he would be so happy that his mouth would be twisted with joy.

……

Half past one.

The guests who came to Fengze Garden for dinner have almost finished their meal, and there may still be a few tables that have not finished eating, but few people order dishes at this time.

The kitchen became idle.

It’s time to prepare meals for so many people in the kitchen.

Wang Jianye originally wanted to find Cao Xiaodong to ask him which dish he should cook.

But he suddenly remembered that he was no longer an apprentice.

And Cao Xiaodong is no longer an apprentice.

The rule in the kitchen is that the meals for the kitchen staff are prepared by the apprentices.

Wang Jianye and Cao Xiaodong became chefs, so they could no longer cook for themselves in the kitchen.

"Well, let's take a break. After dinner, I will go to take the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen chef." Wang Jianye took off his apron, sat on a chair beside him, drank a cup of tea and took a rest.

At this time, Sha Zhu came over and said hesitantly, "Brother Wang, you all have become chefs in the kitchen, so the job of cooking for our back kitchen has fallen to me. What dish do you think I should cook later? Should I make a dish I'm not familiar with and use this opportunity to practice, or a dish I'm more familiar with?"

"Just cook the dishes you are not familiar with. The original rule of our kitchen is to give apprentices the opportunity to cook more dishes and let the chefs give them comments and pointers. Once the problems are pointed out, you can improve the next time you cook this dish."

Wang Jianye took a sip of tea and said.

Sha Zhu frowned and said, "Brother Wang, what you said makes sense, but..."

"But what?"

"But Sister Qin will also eat the dishes I cook. If I cook dishes I'm not familiar with and they turn out terrible when served, it will be so embarrassing for Sister Qin to know that I cooked the dishes..."

I heard that this is what Sha Zhu was worried about.

Wang Jianye sighed in dissatisfaction: "Why do you care what Qin Huairu thinks?"

Shazhu couldn't answer and was speechless.

Wang Jianye continued, "It's better to improve your own level than anything else. Stop daydreaming."

"OK then."

Under Wang Jianye's guidance, Sha Zhu made up his mind that this time he would cook the dishes he was not familiar with and use this good opportunity to practice.

Soon, Sha Zhu and other apprentices prepared lunch.

Wang Jianye has become a Sanzao master, so he can no longer sit at the same table with apprentices like Sha Zhu. He has to sit at the same table with other Sanzao masters.

Cao Xiaodong and Feng Qingjie sat with him, and they were also promoted to third stove masters.

Also sitting at the same table were Master Luo and Master Zhu, both of whom are chefs in the kitchen.

"Congratulations, Master Wang. From now on, you will officially become a real chef of our Fengze Garden."

"Congratulations, Master Wang."

Master Luo and Master Zhu first congratulated Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye smiled and thanked him.

Then Master Luo and Master Zhu congratulated Cao Xiaodong and Feng Qingjie.

Although Wang Jianye was the first person to congratulate and the two of them stood behind Wang Jianye, they did not think there was anything wrong with it.

Because in the kitchen, the level of your cooking skills is judged. If your cooking skills are good, your status will naturally be high, and vice versa.

Therefore, the management of the kitchen is under the charge of the master chef Zhou Qingde. Zhou Qingde's skills are high enough and his talent is good enough. Everyone respects him, so it is easy to manage.

"Master Luo, you will take part in the assessment of the second kitchen master in a while. How is it? Are you confident?"

Master Zhu took a bite of the dish and asked Master Luo beside him.

Master Luo sighed, "It's difficult. I became a chef five years ago. I took the exam for five years, but I failed every time. The best time I did was last year. I cooked five dishes to the level of a second-class chef. It was a pity that the other four dishes did not perform well and I did not pass the assessment."

Master Luo continued, "He can't compare to our Master Li. He was hired three years ago and has participated in two assessments. The year before last, he cooked three dishes at the level of a second-class chef. Last year, he cooked seven dishes at the level of a second-class chef. He only lacks two dishes. This year, I think he may be able to pass the assessment."

"Among the more than ten chefs in our kitchen, Chef Li has the best chance. I also think he can pass the assessment this year."

Master Zhu nodded.

The assessment requirements for promotion to second-class chef are very high. One needs to cook at least fifty dishes to the second-class chef level, which is not an easy task.

Master Luo took the exam for five years but still failed.

Master Li is in a better situation, he has the best chance this time.

Cao Xiaodong heard the conversation between the two masters and looked at Wang Jianye who was sitting next to him.

If it were you, you would be able to pass the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master in one try next year.
