Chapter 89 New House, New Neighbors

Just a few minutes after Wang Jianye entered the kitchen, Cao Xiaodong also came to the kitchen yard.

The ladies washing vegetables still greeted him and asked curiously, "Master Cao, why are you not better than Master Wang?"

"Yes, it has been rumored that Master Cao will definitely get first place in this assessment, but Master Wang was promoted twice during the assessment and became the second-class chef."

"..."

Facing the curiosity of several aunts.

Cao Xiaodong said helplessly: "Master Wang's talent is much better than mine. It's normal that I can't beat him."

He was completely convinced by Wang Jianye.

After all, Wang Jianye's talent is even greater than that of Master Zhou back then.

In just one week, he was ready for the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen master.

Just ask himself, he will never be able to do it.

Moreover, in Cao Xiaodong's opinion, even Master Zhou's talent is not enough to achieve this.

Only Wang Jianye can do it.

Entered the kitchen.

Cao Xiaodong saw Wang Jianye standing in front of the chopping board cutting vegetables.

I walked over involuntarily and asked, "Master Wang, how long have you been here?"

"I just got here. I just cut a carrot."

Wang Jianye said without turning his head, busying himself with the work at hand.

It’s great to see that Wang Jianye has achieved so much and is still working so hard.

Cao Xiaodong felt that he also had to practice cooking.

Not long after, Sha Zhu also came to the kitchen.

"Hey, Brother Wang, you are really good at cooking."

Sha Zhu took a bite of a dish that Wang Jianye had just made and said with satisfaction.

"I know."

Wang Jianye didn't find it strange.

Although his cooking skills for that dish were not very high, his skills improved rapidly after he made it a few times.

As he mastered more and more first- and second-level dishes, his basic skills became better and better, so when he made a new dish, he improved very quickly.

I was busy until around two o'clock in the afternoon and had lunch.

Zheng Hao, the kitchen manager, found Wang Jianye.

"Didn't the boss say that he would find a house for you as soon as possible? I went around this morning and found a suitable house near the front gate."

"Manager Zheng, you found it so quickly?"

Wang Jianye was a little surprised and said, "Okay, this is very efficient. They said they would give us the house the day before, and it was booked the next afternoon."

"Master Wang, you are a key talent in our Fengze Garden. Of course, we must pay attention to you."

Zheng Hao smiled and said, "That place is not far from here. How about I take you there to have a look? If you think it's not suitable, I can change it for you."

"But it's still working hours."

"I've already told Master Zhou and asked for some time off for you."

"Well, thank you, Manager Zheng, for taking me there."

Wang Jianye also wanted to see his new house, so he agreed.

Zheng Hao took Wang Jianye out of the Fengze Garden kitchen, and they each rode their bicycles. In less than five minutes, they arrived at the place Zheng Hao mentioned.

"Master Wang, this is the place I found for you."

The two stopped their bicycles at the gate of a courtyard.

"Manager Zheng, this courtyard is quite big, right?"

"It's a courtyard with three entrances. Come on, let's go in."

Zheng Hao and Wang Jianye entered the courtyard gate and came to the front yard.

"This is Master Wang."

Zheng Hao led Wang Jianye to the house on the right hand side of the front yard entrance.

Wang Jianye took a look and found that this house was closest to the gate.

He would not pass by anyone's house when he went in and out. At this time, the movement in the yard attracted several aunties and little kids.

One of the girls looked familiar to Wang Jianye, but he couldn't remember who she was.

Zheng Hao took out the key and unlocked the door, and Wang Jianye walked in with him.

This is a side room, which is quite spacious.

There was almost no furniture in the room, just a few chairs with broken arms and legs, a crooked table, and a broken cupboard.

The beams and walls were covered with spider webs, and the ground was gray, obviously a layer of dust.

Wang Jianye looked around and decided that the house would take him several days to clean.

"Master Wang, are you satisfied with the location of this house? If you think it's okay, I'll find someone to clean it up for you, connect the wires, and install the light bulbs, so that you can move in as soon as possible."

After listening to Zheng Hao's question.

Wang Jianye asked curiously, "How did this house come about?"

"Oh, we applied for this house from the Military Control Commission. If you are sure you want to live here, then Fengze Garden will inform the Military Control Commission and pay the rent for you every month. You can live here without worry. If you are not satisfied, I will apply to the Military Control Commission for a more suitable room."

Zheng Hao explained.

Wang Jianye felt that the location of this house was very good. It was close to Fengze Garden on Zhushikou West Street and not far from Nanluoguxiang.

"Don't bother, this is the one."

"Okay then, it's confirmed. This is the key to the room."

Zheng Hao handed the key in his hand to Wang Jianye.

From this point on, this was his new residence.

"I'll find a few people to help you clean up in a while, but you have to prepare all the furniture and daily necessities yourself, Master Wang."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Zheng. I'll prepare the rest."

Wang Jianye nodded.

Zheng Hao continued, "Then Master Wang, you can live here from now on. If you have any difficulties, please come to me in time."

After the house is decided.

The two of them left the house and came to the yard.

At this moment, there were several middle-aged women and a few children gathered at the door to watch the fun.

"Who is this?"

"It can't be a new resident in our courtyard."

"Look at this, he really wants to live in our courtyard."

"That young man looks good."

"..."

From now on we will live in the same courtyard and become neighbors.

Wang Jianye explained to them: "My name is Wang Jianye, I am the cook of Fengze Garden, and I will live here from now on..."

After hearing this, the aunts started talking about it.

"Oh, so you really want to live in our courtyard."

"He's the chef from Fengze Garden, that's amazing."

"You look quite young, I wonder if you have a partner."

"..."

Wang Jianye continued, "I will move in in the next two days. Then I will go door to door and get to know everyone. Now I will go back with my leader."

After saying this, Wang Jianye and Zheng Hao left the courtyard.

On the way back by bike, Wang Jianye kept thinking about the familiar girl he had seen in the yard just now.

Who is that...

Wang Jianye looked at the appearance and had some impression in his mind.

After thinking for a while, Wang Jianye finally remembered that the girl was Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng's wife in the TV series.

So, Yu Li and her sister Yu Haitang lived in this courtyard.

From now on, this pair of sisters will be my neighbors.
