Chapter 86 Yan Fugui's Visit

Wang Jianye said to Wang Jiannan beside him, "Go and get the two lunch boxes back from my bag."

"Ah."

Wang Jiannan responded and took out two aluminum lunch boxes from the military green shoulder bag hanging on the wall and placed them on the table.

Wang Jianye opened one of them, which was filled with potatoes and meat slices. Wang Jianwu opened the other one, which was Kung Pao Chicken.

"Look, if you want to eat meat, isn't there meat here? There's no need to become an apprentice just to eat meat. You don't have the talent, and being a chef's apprentice is a waste of time."

Wang Jianye persuaded Wang Jianwu.

Wang Jianwu finally got the idea. "Well, I won't learn cooking anymore."

Zhang Lan nodded with relief
Wang Jianwu is still in primary school and his grades are a little behind now, but if he is willing to work hard, and with the help of his second brother and second sister, who are both top students, he will definitely catch up.

So Zhang Lan didn't want Wang Jianwu to learn cooking at such a young age, because Wang Jianwu still had opportunities to learn.

As for asking Wang Jianye to learn to be a chef, there was no other way. At that time, Wang Jianye had graduated for several years and had been doing odd jobs outside for a long time. He did not have any skills to rely on, so they had to find a recommender to arrange for him to be an apprentice in Fengze Garden.

"Mom, I've become the second chef, which is a great thing. I want to cook a table of delicious food at home to celebrate."

Wang Jianye made suggestions.

Zhang Lan recovered from her anger with Wang Jianwu and said happily, "Okay, then let's do it this weekend. Your sister Jianting will also be home by then, and we can celebrate together as a family."

Wang Jianting goes to college and basically goes home every other weekend. She didn’t come home last weekend, so she will go home next weekend.

Wang Jiannan smiled and said, "My sister probably doesn't know how capable my brother is. When she finds out that I've become the second chef and that I'm doing so well, she'll be shocked."

Zhang Lan nodded and said with emotion, "It should be similar to the reactions we had when we heard your brother talk about this just now."

"Mom, what delicious food are we going to eat this weekend?"

Wang Jianwu didn't care whether his elder sister Wang Jianting would be surprised when she came back, he only cared about what delicious food there was.

"All you know is eating." Zhang Lan glanced at him helplessly, "I haven't decided what to eat yet, how about we think about it now?"

"Hmm."

Wang Jianwu nodded quickly.

Wang Jiannan found paper and pencil and prepared to write it down.

Next, everyone brainstormed and came up with four dishes.

Wang Jianye said that four dishes were too few, so he added two more, making a total of six dishes.

Originally, Wang Jianye wanted to prepare eight dishes, but Zhang Lan insisted on stopping him, so he could only prepare six dishes.

"Wow, there are so many delicious foods."

Wang Jianwu stared at the list written by Wang Jiannan and swallowed.

Zhang Lan looked at him with a stern face: "From now on, when you come home, ask your brother and sister to take time to tutor you. You must study hard, otherwise you won't get any of these delicious foods. Do you hear me?"

Wang Jianwu was frightened. This threat worked very well for him and he nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Zhang Lan smiled helplessly.

This child loves to eat meat, but his family’s conditions were average before and he didn’t have many opportunities to eat meat. So in order to eat meat, Wang Jianwu thought about learning to cook.

But Wang Jianwu should not have such thoughts in the future.

After all, Wang Jianye became the second chef and could bring two meat dishes home every day, which meant that the family could eat meat dishes every day.

Wang Jianwu has eaten enough meat, so he will no longer think of becoming a chef apprentice just to eat meat. …

Just when they were discussing what to eat at Wang Jianye’s house.

Yan Fugui and Yang Ruihua brought Yan Jiecheng to the backyard in a hurry.

Liu Haizhong happened to be fetching water from a bucket by the pool. Seeing them in such a hurry, he asked curiously, "What is Old Yan doing?"

"I have something to discuss with Wang Jianye."

Yan Fugui said with a smile.

This made Liu Haizhong even more curious, "What's the matter? You and your wife brought Yan Jiecheng with you."

"Hey, I'll talk to you when we get back. Let's go find Wang Jianye first."

Yan Fugui did not waste time with Liu Haizhong. He took Yang Ruihua and Yan Jiecheng and knocked on Wang Jianye's door.

The noise in the yard attracted Aunt Liu who lived in the east wing, and Xu Fugui and Aunt Xu who lived in the west wing.

Wang Jianye opened the door and asked, "Hey, Teacher Yan, why are you here?"

"Jianye, we misunderstood."

Yan Fugui narrowed his eyes and said embarrassedly.

"What misunderstanding?"

Wang Jianye asked the question even though he knew the answer.

Zhang Lan and others behind him were completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

"When you just got back from get off work, didn't you say you wanted to take Yan Jiecheng as your apprentice? I misunderstood you at that time and didn't agree. I just realized it now, so I came to you to ask my Yan Jiecheng to become your apprentice and learn cooking from you. What do you think?"

Yan Fugui looked at Wang Jianye expectantly.

Zhang Lan and others understood immediately. They guessed that Yan Fugui didn't know that Wang Jianye had become the second kitchen master. He thought that Wang Jianye was only the third kitchen master and was not qualified to accept apprentices, so he did not agree.

But now he knew that Wang Jianye had become the second kitchen chef and had performed so well in the assessment, so he regretted it and came to ask Wang Jianye to accept Yan Jiecheng.

Zhang Lan and the others understood.

But Liu Haizhong, Xu Fugui and others still didn't understand.

Liu Haizhong was puzzled and asked, "Hey, Old Yan, Wang Jianye is still just an apprentice, right? How can he accept your Yan Jiecheng as his apprentice?"

Xu Fugui said to him, "I remember Wang Jianye took the test today. He should not be an apprentice anymore and can cook."

"That's not right. Even if Wang Jianye passed the test, he would only be a third-grade master and not qualified to accept apprentices."

Liu Haizhong still felt that something was wrong, so he reminded Yan Fugui: "Old Yan, what are you thinking? Why do you want Yan Jiecheng to take Wang Jianye, the Sanzao master, as his apprentice? Even if he is willing to accept him, Fengzeyuan will not let him, the Sanzao master, accept an apprentice."

"In fact, Wang Jianye is the second kitchen chef."

Yan Fugui had to explain to them.

Liu Haizhong frowned, "What is Second Kitchen Master? Didn't Wang Jianye just take the test today?"

Xu Fugui also didn't believe it: "Yes, Old Yan, you are confused from teaching. Wang Jianye was an apprentice before. Even if he passes the assessment today, he is only a third-level chef. How can he become a second-level chef directly?"

"Teacher Yan, how about you help me explain it to them first?"

Wang Jianye looked at Yan Fugui and said.
