"I have now learned all the nine dishes I just drew."

"Next, I will upgrade the other seven dishes, except for the pan-fried yellow croaker and stir-fried pork tenderloin, to the second-class stove level."

"System, use my experience points to upgrade the seven entry-level dishes, namely, Fried Double Crispy Soup, Stir-fried Mullet Flower, Braised Pomfret, First-class Tofu, Four-joy Meatballs, Boshan Tofu Box, and Nine-turn Large Intestine, to the second-class level."

Another burst of system notification sounds bombarded my mind.

In an instant, 210 experience points were consumed.

These seven dishes have all been upgraded to the second-class level.

Wang Jianye slowly opened his eyes, feeling the extra memories and experiences in his mind, and clenched his fists.

"My next assessment for promotion to Second Kitchen Master should be foolproof."

……

Soon, Wang Jianye made his first dish, Yipinde Tofu.

Seeing that Wang Jianye had prepared the dish, Zhou Qingde hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and was very active.

For this promotion to the second kitchen master, Zhou Qingde was only concerned about Wang Jianye. He wanted to know whether Wang Jianye could pass the assessment as smoothly as he did in the beginning.

Wang Jianye brought the dishes to Zhou Qingde and the other judges.

"Masters, my first-grade tofu is ready."

Zhou Qingde took a bite.

Then he nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, reaching the level of a second-class chef. I can give it an eight."

After tasting the dish, several other judges also felt that it reached the level of a second-class chef.

So everyone unanimously gave the dish made by Wang Jianye an eight point score.

There are a total of six judges, but only Zhou Qingde, Master Zhou and Master Qian can give scores, while the other three just taste the food.

"Thank you, Masters. I will go on to the next one."

Wang Jianye was mentally prepared for this result.

Because he knew that the quality of this dish had reached the second-class level, the chefs would definitely give him an eight point score this time.

Eight points is the second-level kitchen level.

……

at the same time.

Chai Wenshan in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

He only knew that among the nine dishes Wang Jianye had drawn, the pan-fried yellow croaker and stir-fried pork tenderloin were the best, because these two dishes were required in the apprentice grading assessment.

As for the other seven dishes that Wang Jianye drew, Chai Wenshan was unsure whether Wang Jianye could cook well.

but now.

He felt relieved when he saw that Wang Jianye successfully made a first-class tofu of second-class level and met the assessment standards.

"In addition to the pan-fried yellow croaker and stir-fried pork tenderloin that you can make, now add the first-class tofu that I just made, and it will be three dishes..."

“There are currently six dishes left.”

Chai Wenshan took a deep breath, and inexplicably hoped that Wang Jianye would be able to prepare the remaining six dishes.

When Sun Qu saw Chai Wenshan's expectant eyes, he felt very unhappy.

Your apprentice has only passed one dish so far. Who knows, maybe he was just lucky and the dish he drew happened to be one he can cook.

Don't forget there are still eight dishes to come, maybe he can't even cook one of them well...

Sun Qu thought about it in his mind but didn't say it out loud.

……

Wang Jianye returned to his stove.

"I have finished making the first dish, and there are eight dishes left. The next one..."

Wang Jianye looked around at the ingredients and thought for a while: "Let's make dry-fried pomfret. This dish is also at the level of a second-class chef."

After thinking it over, Wang Jianye started to get busy.

Soon, Wang Jianye made the second dish, braised pomfret.

After serving it to several judges who tasted it, they still gave it eight points.

……

"it is good."

Chai Wenshan cheered to Wang Jianye in a low voice, "Jianye has finished two dishes. Apart from the yellow croaker and pork tenderloin that we are sure will be done, there are only five dishes left that are uncertain..."

On the other side, Sun Qu felt sad.

Tsk, they are just two dishes, maybe he can cook them by chance. He still has seven dishes left. I don’t believe he can cook the remaining dishes to the level of a second-class chef.

In Sun Qu's opinion, the time given to Wang Jianye to prepare was too short.

It is simply impossible to cook all the fifty dishes required for promotion to the second-stove chef's level. It is also impossible to cook all the nine dishes drawn from these fifty dishes well.

So Sun Qu didn't believe that Wang Jianye could pass the assessment.

……

Not long after, Wang Jianye made the third dish, stir-fried crispy vegetables in soup.

Several judges gave him a score of eight.

"Good good."

Chai Wenshan gradually became excited.

Jianye has already prepared three dishes, and all three have reached the second-class kitchen level.

Is this just luck?

The three dishes he drew in a row were all ones he could cook to second-class level?
Including the two dishes of yellow croaker and shredded pork tenderloin, there are now four dishes left.

Chai Wenshan excitedly poked Sun Qu next to him.

"There are still six dishes left, don't worry."

Although Sun Qu still said this, he was worried in his heart.

Judging from Wang Jianye's attitude, he would probably end up cooking all the nine dishes he drew to the level of a second-class chef, right?
