Brush Up Your Proficiency

"Your Xiao Hao is really something! He'll definitely bring you two old folks to the city in the future to enjoy a good life!"

The people at Liu Zhi's table, after some coaxing and reluctance from Liu Zhi, finally mentioned Wang Hao working at the Xingyun Restaurant with a hint of forced admiration.

At first, the neighbors only offered a few perfunctory congratulations.

After all, everyone knew that in today's society, finding a job is not easy, let alone starting your own business. The end result, whether it's profit or loss, is still uncertain.

After learning that the chef of these dishes was actually Liu Zhi's son, everyone's gaze towards Liu Zhi suddenly became eager.

The reason was simple: these four dishes alone made them understand that Liu Zhi's son indeed had extraordinary culinary skills, and what Liu Zhi had said earlier was likely to come true.

At this moment, Liu Zhi's face was filled with pride. While accepting everyone's praise, she also put on a humble appearance, repeatedly waving her hand and saying:

"No, no, Xiao Hao is just slightly better at cooking. Even if he becomes capable outside in the future, his dad and I won't go. We're used to living in the village. How can the city be as comfortable as here!"

These words were very much to their liking, causing the people at the table to echo in agreement.

A similar scene was also playing out at Wang Lin's table.

"Old Wang, your child is really promising! This dish is absolutely amazing!"

"Yes, yes, how is this dish seasoned? The flavor is too authentic. I'll ask your child for the recipe later, and I'll try it too!"

Wang Lin also laughed heartily amidst the praise of the crowd. His own child being praised was even happier than being praised himself.

"Congratulations, Advanced Cooking Proficiency +10, Current Proficiency: Advanced Cooking 640/10000"

After the first stir-fried dish was completed, the system gave ten points of proficiency. Wang Hao felt as if ten points was already the limit. The meat sauce he made in the morning also gave ten points. Wang Hao couldn't help but ponder.

However, ten points of proficiency was also quite good. The time spent on a dish for a large pot of food was obviously several times more cost-effective than making a dish for one or two people.

Unfortunately, such opportunities are not available every day. Otherwise, the breakthrough of the cooking skill would be much faster than expected!

The most impacted by this dish were the assistant cooks.

The aroma emanating from the dish made the assistant cooks even more admire Wang Hao. In the culinary world, whoever has the greatest skill is the boss. This is an iron rule, and age is insignificant in the face of this iron rule.

"Master Wang, your grandson is really something!" An assistant cook, waiting to serve the dish, gave a thumbs up and praised Grandpa Wang.

"That's for sure, otherwise I wouldn't have given up the position of head chef!" Grandpa Wang looked perfectly natural, and the smile on his face never stopped as he listened to the surrounding praise.

Wang Hao smiled slightly, hearing the discussions of the crowd, and did not speak, continuing to devote himself to the making of the next dish.

He skillfully put the pre-processed ingredients into the pot and stir-fried them. Every movement was smooth and natural, as if he had done it countless times, pleasing to the eye.

As one delicious dish after another came out of the pot, the entire banquet was filled with an enticing aroma.

The villagers praised these dishes, and the children who used to run around at banquets were unusually well-behaved this time, staying quietly in their seats, waiting for new delicacies to be served.

Some people even didn't use the plastic bags they had prepared in advance. As soon as a dish was served, everyone rushed to grab it, not giving anyone a chance to take leftovers.

At previous banquets, there were many dishes, and there would always be dishes that everyone didn't like to eat, resulting in the phenomenon of taking leftovers in plastic bags.

But the dishes produced by Wang Hao seemed to suit everyone's taste. The fact that there was not a single dish that people disliked, and that the plates were eaten clean, was the best proof.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Wang Hao made less food. On the contrary, in order to be practical, Wang Hao also specially increased the amount of food. Even so, it was still in short supply.

This situation continued until the last few dishes, and the fullness of everyone's stomachs became more and more substantial, which slightly alleviated the situation!

Wang Hao's cooking skills were recognized by everyone, and his reputation gradually spread.

Grandpa Wang was extremely gratified to see his grandson so outstanding.

He knew that his grandson would definitely become an excellent chef in the future, and perhaps the most promising young man in their Wang family line!

"Teacher, you are like the second parents of our child!"

At this time, Uncle Zhu, who was sitting at the main table drinking with the teacher, felt particularly proud and radiant on this special and glorious day, having held such a rich and highly praised banquet.

At this moment, he was already slightly drunk, but still enthusiastically grabbed Zhu Jia's son's teacher, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

"No, no!" The teacher responded modestly, also very happy that Zhu Jia's son could achieve such excellent results. This banquet made him even more appetizing, and he had never experienced such a satisfying appetite, and his eyes became more and more loving when he looked at Zhu Jia's son.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll toast you first!" Uncle Zhu stood up and raised his glass to the teacher in a heroic manner.

Then he drank it all in one gulp, and then walked to the center of the yard and shouted loudly: "Everyone eat well and drink well!"

Everyone responded with smiles, knowing in their hearts that the banquet held by the Lao Zhu family this time was impeccable, not only satisfying everyone's appetite, but also without the slightest flaw.

"Congratulations, Advanced Cooking Proficiency +10, Current Proficiency: Advanced Cooking 750/10000"

As the last egg drop soup came out of the pot, Wang Hao finally put down the pot spoon in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He secretly sighed that if it were the former himself, he would probably be so tired that he couldn't get up from the ground at this moment.

Cooking large pot dishes is really an extremely physically demanding job, especially a banquet like today, which requires preparing four cold dishes, ten hot dishes, and two soups to finish, a total of sixteen dishes, and each dish is very large, which is a great test of the chef's physical strength and endurance.

However, what is gratifying is that the results of this banquet were very gratifying.

Through this banquet, he successfully obtained 140 points of cooking skill proficiency.

At the same time, he also directly experienced the application of many knowledge and skills about banquets in his mind in actual situations, and had a deeper understanding of banquets.

He believes that in the future, when he encounters similar banquets, he will definitely be able to cope more calmly and deal with some foreseeable troubles in advance.
