Chapter 88 Rejection
After hearing Wang Jianye's words, Yan Jiecheng's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

However, Yan Fugui still managed to pretend to be calm and said, "Jie Cheng, Jianye thinks this dish might not be made by you, so why don't you try making it again?"

"OK then."

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to agree.

Yan Fugui then said to Wang Jianye, "Jianye, he had to perform exceptionally well to make the potato shreds so well. If you ask him to do it again, he may not be able to do it so well."

"Just give it a try."

Wang Jianye said calmly.

Then, Wang Jianye came to Yan's house and watched Yan Jiecheng make a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds.

After tasting it, he frowned, "The difference between the quality of these two dishes is too big. The first one is more skilled, while this one is at most entry-level."

After Wang Jianye finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng felt dizzy and knew that he could no longer hide the secret.

But Yan Fugui continued to struggle, "Jianye, the first one was done by my Yan Jiecheng who performed exceptionally well, and he got nervous when he saw you looking at him like that, so he didn't perform well in this one. It's a little worse than the first one, but don't worry, Jiecheng is smart and talented. If you teach him for a while, his level will definitely improve."

No matter what, let Wang Jianye capture Yan Jiecheng first.

By that time, even if you find something wrong, the matter has already been settled. It will be too late to regret if you play the emotional card.

Yan Fugui was calculating in his mind.

Wang Jianye shook his head. "Even if you perform exceptionally well and do better than usual, there is a limit. It is impossible for you to perform at the level of a grand hotel just because you usually do averagely. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yan Fugui hesitated to speak.

Wang Jianye continued, "If your cooking skills are not good, you can learn and practice slowly. As long as you are willing to work hard, your level will improve sooner or later. But if your character is not good, then it is really bad. I will not accept such a person as my apprentice, and it is impossible for me to introduce such a person to other masters."

After saying that, Wang Jianye stood up and said goodbye.

Yan Fugui and his companions were left looking at each other in dismay.

Yan Fugui sighed, "Who knew Wang Jianye was not easy to fool?"

"What a pity! If Yan Jiecheng could learn cooking from Wang Jianye, he would definitely have a bright future."

Yang Ruihua said regretfully.

"What's the point of talking about this now? Just pack up the food and save it for tomorrow."

Yan Fugui looked at the two plates of spicy and sour potato shreds on the table.

In order to make this dish well, a lot of ingredients such as oil, salt, vinegar, chopped green onions, and carbon were used.

But after Wang Jianye took a few bites, he was not satisfied.

Yan Fugui suddenly felt a little distressed.

What a waste.

……

the other side.

After Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu naturally knew about this.

"You said Wang Jianye became the second chef at Fengze Garden? And he was also given a house?"

Jia Zhang's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

Jia Dongxu on the side was very envious and jealous and asked: "Why does he do that?"

Jia Dongxu worked as an apprentice in a steel rolling mill for several months, and found it very difficult to learn the techniques and recognize the parts and tools.

He estimated that it would take him several years to be able to move from an apprentice to a formal fitter.

Compared with Wang Jianye, there is a huge gap.

"That's right. Maybe Wang Jianye took the backdoor."

Jia Zhang speculated with the greatest malice.

Jia Dongxu nodded angrily: "Yes, that must be the case, otherwise I don't believe that Wang Jianye can be so powerful."

No way, so many masters saw it with their own eyes, there is no way he could have cheated.

The reason he was able to perform so well was purely due to his real ability.

Qin Huairu thought so in her heart.

But he didn't dare say it in front of Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu.

Because she had seen through her mother-in-law and her husband. The news that Wang Jianye took two tests in one day and was promoted to the second kitchen chef spread to more than ten households in the courtyard that night.

Some families, like the Jia family, are full of suspicion and jealousy towards Wang Jianye.

But most people still think that Wang Jianye is amazing and they want to have a good relationship with him in the future.

This way, if the family needs a chef in the future, they can go directly to Wang Jianye.

……

the next day.

Wang Jianye got up early.

Although he worked hard for a week, he finally achieved his second goal.

But he did not slack off, because he had to strive for his third goal next.

That is to improve the fifty dishes that the second chef needs to master, and those that he cannot make or have not reached the second chef's level, to the second chef's level.

"So far, I have mastered 11 dishes at the first-class chef level, 3 of which are among the 50 dishes that the second-class chef is required to master. In addition, I have mastered 23 dishes at the second-class chef level, 12 of which are among the 15 dishes, which makes a total of dishes."

"So, I have mastered 50 of the 15 dishes that the second chef asked me to master, and I still need to master 35 more dishes."

"I have now mastered 39 dishes at the level of a three-stove chef, 11 of which are among those 50 dishes. I need to use experience points to upgrade the level of these 11 dishes."

"Then there are still 24 dishes left to master. I have 4 recipes left, and 110 experience points left..."

"Now that my situation is clear, for the third goal, I need to obtain 20 more recipes, enough experience points to upgrade 11 dishes from the third-level to the second-level (220 experience points), and enough experience points to upgrade 24 dishes from the entry-level to the second-level (720 experience points)."

"After this calculation... I need to obtain 20 recipes and 830 experience points."

Wang Jianye had a plan in mind and also clarified his third goal.

"I will try to achieve this goal within a month. Come on!"

……

After washing up and having breakfast, Wang Jianye rode his bicycle to Fengze Garden on Zhushikou West Street.

After parking his bicycle in the parking shed at the back door of Fengze Garden, Wang Jianye walked into the back door of Fengze Garden.

The concierge, Uncle Zhang, was lighting the stove in the house. When Wang Jianye passed by, he greeted Wang Jianye enthusiastically, "Hey, Master Wang is here."

Uncle Zhang stood up and walked to the door with a smile.

"I just got here. It's not too late now."

As Wang Jianye spoke, he took out a box of Daqianmen from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Hey, it's only what time now. It's still early."

When Uncle Zhang saw that there were cigarettes to smoke, he became even happier. "I heard that you did very well in the assessment yesterday, almost catching up with your Master Zhou."

"Uncle Zhang, have you heard about this?"

"Don't think I'm just guarding the front door, but there's nothing I don't know about what's going on in the kitchen."

Uncle Zhang said confidently.

He was reluctant to smoke the cigarette he received and it got stuck in his ear.

After chatting with Uncle Zhang for a few words, Wang Jianye walked into the yard.

"Master Xiao Wang is here."

"Master Wang, you're here quite early."

"..."

There were a few middle-aged women washing vegetables by the pool in the yard. When they saw Wang Jianye, they greeted him enthusiastically.

When Wang Jianye came a few days ago, they didn't say hello to Wang Jianye, but took the initiative to say hello to Cao Xiaodong who was behind them.

After all, Cao Xiaodong was quite famous at that time, but Wang Jianye was not very famous.

Now, after Wang Jianye made a stunning debut during the assessment, everyone in the kitchen knew Wang Jianye no longer.

Whoever sees him will say hello.

Because everyone knows that Wang Jianye is so capable and will definitely support Fengze Garden like Master Zhou in the future, so we have to build a good relationship with him.
