Chapter 180 Reward 24 Yuan
Chai Wenshan took Sun Qu to find Wang Jianye and told him what he wanted Master Wang to advise him on.
Wang Jianye had no opinion on anyone and could give advice to anyone, "Which dish do you cook best right now?"
"My sweet and sour carp is OK."
Afterwards, Sun Qu carefully prepared a dish of sweet and sour carp that he thought was the best. "Master Wang, please try it."
Wang Jianye took a bite with chopsticks. Based on his cooking skills at the state banquet level, he immediately came to the conclusion that the sweet and sour carp made by Sun Qu was only at the top chef level.
Sun Qu, who was standing next to him, looked at him nervously.
Wang Jianye put down his chopsticks. "It's OK, but it's far from the level of our signature dishes. Let me tell you a few points, remember them well..."
Sun Qu listened carefully to the suggestions for improvement given by Wang Jianye, and wrote them down on paper when he couldn't remember them in his head.
"Do you understand?" Wang Jianye asked.
Sun Qu replied excitedly: "I understand, I understand, Master Wang!"
He had many areas where he was stuck and had difficulty making progress, but after hearing just a few words from Wang Jianye, he understood them clearly and found the direction for improvement.
If he only relies on himself to make improvements, without knowing how to do it specifically, he will be like a headless fly, flying around in a panic, and it will be difficult for him to find the right way to improve. Even if he finds a way, it may not be able to be improved because of his lack of ability, causing him to think that it is the wrong way to improve.
Asking Wang Jianye for some guidance would be much better than him practicing hard for a year or two.
Sun Qu excitedly went back to practice and try. Perhaps before long, he would be able to make this sweet and sour carp dish to the level of a state banquet.
In the afternoon, when it was almost time to get off work, Sun Qu brought over a sweet and sour carp that he thought was quite good. After Wang Jianye tasted it, he said, "It's much better than the one you made at noon, but there are still areas that need improvement..."
Wang Jianye also gave some very useful suggestions.
Sun Qu nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then went back to practice.
After get off work, Wang Jianye was taken home by Chen Xiaoyang on a bicycle as usual. He and Chen Xiaoyang lived in the same courtyard, and Wang Jianye was Chen Xiaoyang's first apprentice, so naturally they had the closest relationship.
Moreover, the child is very filial and obedient. He does whatever he is asked to do and does it well, which makes Wang Jianye very satisfied.
After the two returned to the No. 11 Qianmen courtyard, Chen Xiaoyang parked his bicycle in front of Wang Jianye's house, said goodbye to Wang Jianye and went back to his home in the Central Courtyard.
Wang Jianye pushed the door open and entered his house. Wang Jianwu and Wang Jianwen had already arrived at his house and were waiting for him.
"Brother, why don't you have new furniture yet?"
"He just told me a few days ago that he wanted to find a craftsman to make a new set of furniture. It's only been a few days. Wait, it should be delivered to me before the New Year."
It is now the late eleventh month of the lunar calendar, one week away from the twelfth lunar month and more than a month away from the Chinese New Year.
A new set of furniture with thirty-six legs should be ready before the Chinese New Year. Wang Jianye is not in a hurry anyway. The old and cheap furniture is not broken, so he can use it until the new and good furniture comes.
At that time, he would send the discarded furniture in his house, the slightly inferior ones to the consignment store to sell, and store the slightly better and valuable ones in the system space.
After all, old furniture only started to become valuable in the 1990s. If you sell it now at a low price, you won’t get a good price, so it’s better to keep it in the system space.
The next morning, Wang Jianye got up early, washed up, and went outside to eat breakfast. Some time ago, Wang Jianye told an old man selling steamed buns that he had to use raw onions when making steamed buns. I wonder if he did it...
Out of curiosity, Wang Jianye strolled to the stall of the old man selling buns and ordered a basket of six buns, a bowl of thick porridge, and a pile of shredded pickles.
"Hey young man, I recognize you. You asked me to use raw onions to make dumplings before, so I did as you said. Guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"The buns are indeed tastier and they sell better. I have to get up earlier every day to work. Otherwise, I won't be able to make enough to sell and I'll have to close the stall early, hahaha."
The old man was very happy, with wrinkles on his face every time he smiled. Although he was more tired than before, he was happy because he could make more money.
After Wang Jianye finished his meal, when he paid the bill, the old man gave him a 50% discount and refused to take the full amount. After all, in his opinion, if it weren't for Wang Jianye's guidance, his business wouldn't be as popular as it is now, so he should thank him.
……
After returning to the courtyard, Wang Jianye tidied up briefly, handed the empty thermos to Liang Ladi, filled it with hot water, and waited until the evening to bring it back.
Chen Xiaoyang came to the front yard, rode his bicycle, and took Wang Jianye to Fengze Garden.
Entering the kitchen, Wang Jianye saw Sun Qu had arrived early and was working hard to practice the improved sweet and sour carp with a very serious expression.
After Sun Qu learned that Chai Wenshan could earn more than 20 yuan a month by having a signature dish, he became very motivated to have his own signature dish.
A week later, under the guidance of Wang Jianye, Sun Qu successfully improved his sweet and sour carp dish. If it performs well, it can reach the level of a state banquet!
"Thank you, Master Wang!"
After getting Wang Jianye's recognition, Sun Qu was very excited.
After finding Zhou Qingde and telling him about this, Sun Qu carefully prepared a sweet and sour carp that was good enough to become a signature dish in front of Zhou Qingde. Zhou Qingde nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done, congratulations, Master Sun, you now have a signature dish."
"Ok!"
Sun Qu looked at Wang Jianye with gratitude. If it weren't for Master Wang's selfless teaching, he probably wouldn't have a signature dish in such a short time. He had to thank him very much!
Wang Jianye and Zhou Qingde went to find the manager Zheng Hao and told him about teaching Sun Qu how to cook sweet and sour carp. Zheng Hao discussed with Zhou Qingde, "Master Wang, according to the rules set by the boss, if any master can teach others to master his signature dish and reach the level of a signature dish, then this master can get a bonus of 10% to 100% of the basic salary... So Master Wang, we set a bonus of 30% for you, what do you think?"
"can."
Wang Jianye had no objection.
He took an envelope containing twenty-four yuan from Zheng Hao and signed his name on the list.
On this list, Wang Jianye is the only one who has taught his signature dish to others. As for the other chefs, none of them have the idea of teaching their signature dishes to others just for the bonus.
This is normal. After all, teaching the apprentice will starve the master to death. No one wants to be replaced by others, so one has to keep something in reserve.
But Wang Jianye doesn't have to worry about this at all. He currently has mastered 68 state banquet-level dishes, and can quickly master new state banquet-level dishes through experience points. There is no way he can teach them all.
So this award is like it was set up specifically for Wang Jianye to give him money to spend.
