Chapter 293: The newspapers, the shock of the people in the courtyard
After Wang Jianye's "Classics of Fujian Cuisine" appeared on the market, chefs from all major cuisines in the city began to talk about it.
Some even came to Fengze Garden specifically to visit Wang Jianye and ask questions about Fujian cuisine.
Wang Jianye gave very good answers to the questions they raised.
Many masters who came to ask for advice could not help but sigh that Wang Jianye is truly a man of high moral character and has the demeanor of a master.
Manager Zheng Haolai found Wang Jianye and said, "Master Wang, I have good news for you. A reporter from a newspaper wants to interview you."
"Oh, I'm going to be in the newspaper?"
Realizing this, Wang Jianye asked Zheng Hao to take him to meet the reporters who came to interview him.
The reporters were two young companions, who looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, both older than Wang Jianye.
After seeing Wang Jianye, the two reporters were very surprised.
"You are Master Wang? You are just like the rumors said. You are so young."
"Hello, Master Wang. We are reporters from the Sijiucheng Newspaper. We would like to interview you. Do you have time?"
"If there is time, let's do it now."
Master chefs with superb skills are usually a bit conceited and tend to be indifferent to others.
But Wang Jianye doesn't have this problem.
This made the two reporters who came to interview feel relieved. It seemed that he was an easy person to get along with.
Zheng Hao brought Wang Jianye and the two reporters to the reception room of Fengze Garden, which was relatively secluded and suitable for conversation.
Qin Huairu saw this scene and curiously asked the waiter next to her: "What do those people want to see Master Wang for?"
The other party said, "It seems that they are here to interview Master Wang and said they want to be in the newspaper."
"In the newspaper?"
Qin Huairu felt a little excited.
In her opinion, not everyone can be in the newspaper.
And the things that appear in the newspapers must be big and important events in the city.
The fact that Wang Jianye was able to appear in the newspapers is enough to show his influence.
After interviewing those two reporters today, I went back and organized the content of the interviews.
On the next day, it was put on the newspaper page for printing.
Yan Fugui didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, but he was on his way home from get off work.
When I came across a newspaper, I heard two people discussing something with a newspaper and they mentioned the name Wang Jianye.
Yan Fugui was startled and quickly walked up to take a look.
There was information about Wang Jianye on the front page of the newspaper, it was an interview.
"Wang Jianye is actually in the newspaper?"
Yan Fugui was very surprised.
He never thought that Wang Jianye, a cook, would one day be featured in the newspapers.
So after he returned to the courtyard, he immediately told the matter to Second Aunt and Yan Jiecheng and others.
When they heard that Wang Jianye was on the newspaper, the second aunt and Yan Jiecheng had the same expression as Yan Fugui did when he heard the news, with a look of surprise on their faces.
"How could Wang Jianye be in the newspaper?"
"Yes, newspapers should publish news about major social events. How can Wang Jianye, a cook, be included in the newspapers?"
The whole family was very unhappy.
If Wang Jianye had accepted Yan Jiecheng as his apprentice, then Yan Jiecheng's master would have been featured in the newspapers and become a celebrity, and they would have been very happy.
But when Wang Jianye did not accept Yan Jiecheng as his apprentice and the news was reported in the newspapers, they were very unhappy.
The news quickly spread throughout the hospital.
When Jia Dongxu from the Intermediate Court heard that Wang Jianye was in the newspaper, his first reaction was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Wang Jianye is just a stinky cook, how could he be in the newspaper?" Jia Dongxu didn't believe it, but after seeing the report about Wang Jianye in the newspaper from Yan Fugui.
No matter how unwilling he was to believe it, he could not change the fact that Wang Jianye was actually in the newspaper.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife lived in the east wing of the central courtyard.
After hearing that Wang Jianye was in the newspaper, the first thing he did was to find Yan Fugui to confirm the matter.
"Wang Jianye is really in the newspaper. He has made a name for himself."
Yi Zhonghai sighed that Wang Jianye is becoming more and more famous.
Sha Zhu was not very surprised when he learned about this.
After all, in his opinion, with Wang Jianye's superb skills, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a famous chef, and it is not impossible for him to be featured in newspapers.
After hearing the news, He Yushui asked Sha Zhu in surprise: "Brother, does the fact that Brother Wang is on the newspaper mean that he is very powerful?"
Sha Zhu ate peanuts and nodded, saying:
"Of course he is amazing. In all these years in our city, there are only a few chefs who have been featured in newspapers, but Brother Wang can do it."
"That's awesome."
He Yushui wanted to wait until Wang Jianye returned to Nanluoguxiang on the weekend, and then she would go over and ask Wang Jianye in detail what it felt like to interview him.
In the backyard, Wang Jianye told the Wang Jianwu brothers about his interview yesterday and let everyone at home know.
So today, when Wang Jianye appeared in the newspapers, they were not very surprised.
Instead, I was extremely happy. I bought several copies of the newspaper and read them happily at home.
"Your eldest brother is really getting more and more capable. He can even be featured in the newspaper now."
"Now our eldest brother must be famous."
"Of course, many people read newspapers, and after reading the newspapers they know my brother."
"When can I be in the newspaper? I envy my brother so much."
"..."
Through newspaper reports, everyone in the Siheyuan knew what Wang Jianye had been doing for the past six months.
Not only did he become the head chef, but he also qualified to attend exchange meetings abroad.
"Wang Jianye is so amazing now that he can even cook abroad."
"I said this child will definitely have a bright future, don't you think so?"
"Yes, Wang Jianye is really born to be a chef. He is improving so fast!"
"Before, I was only proficient in Shandong cuisine, but now I am proficient in Sichuan cuisine and Fujian cuisine as well."
"I think Wang Jianye will definitely be able to master the eight major cuisines and become an all-round chef in the future."
"..."
"You've become a combat chef. How much salary do you have to get?"
Jia Dongxu clenched his fists unwillingly, and his fingers turned white because he squeezed too hard.
During the past six months, he has not yet been converted to a formal fitter, so his salary has not increased.
But Wang Jianye has become the head chef again, and his salary will definitely increase again.
Originally, Wang Jianye's salary was five or six times his.
If the salary goes up again, it will definitely be many times more than his.
This made Jia Dongxu feel very unbalanced. He wondered why Wang Jianye was so much better than him. He really couldn't accept it.
Seeing her husband gritting his teeth, Qin Huairu felt a little contemptuous.
What a useless man! He has been an apprentice in a steel mill for more than a year and has not yet been hired as a regular employee.
If you have the ability, you can make a name for yourself and let everyone see it.
