Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

Chen Xueru also looked at this state banquet master mentioned by Uncle Wang with great interest:

"Could it be that this boss learned cooking skills from the state banquet master you mentioned?"

Uncle Wang recalled carefully, shook his head and said:

"I don't know about this either. I only know that the state banquet master no longer accepts apprentices. After all, he is now old. If you want to ask him to cook a dish, you have to make an appointment for a long time."

When Chen Xueru heard what Uncle Wang said, she rolled her eyes and said:

"Could it be that the state banquet master felt that this boss was extremely talented, so he had the guts to teach him as his last disciple?"

Uncle Wang was enlightened by Chen Xueru's words. He smiled and clapped his hands and said:

"Yes, yes, that must be it!"

"After all, this state banquet master has a rather strange temper. It is extremely difficult for others to become his disciples. He is only willing to teach the disciples he likes."

"I guess this guy is his favorite apprentice, so he inherited his skills!"

Chen Xueru smiled and nodded:

"Great, great! I never thought I would be able to eat the dishes made by the state banquet master's last apprentice at noon today. If I tell other people about this, they will be so jealous of me!"

Uncle Wang also smiled and took a bite of the fish, then said:

"I couldn't figure it out the past two days. This boss looks only about 17 or 18 years old, but he seems to have 50 or 60 years of cooking experience."

"If everyone only eats the food he cooks, they will probably think he is an old chef."

Chen Xueru also looked at Uncle Wang with surprise:

“I didn’t expect that I could eat state banquet-level dishes today!”

"I really got a great bargain!"

When Uncle Wang heard her words, he smiled and said:

"It's not just you who got a great bargain. The boss has been setting up his stall here for three days. Every day there are long lines, and those diners are also getting a great bargain."

Zhang Liang was cooking at this time. He heard the conversation between Chen Xueru and Uncle Wang clearly and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

How could he be the last disciple of the state banquet master? If it weren't for the golden finger given to him by the system, he would know nothing about cooking.

However, since he had received a big gift package from the system at the beginning, he naturally couldn't tell anyone in this world about it. After all, if he told anyone, everyone would just think he was talking nonsense.

However, it is not good to borrow the title of the state banquet master. When Zhang Liang thought of this, he walked up to the two people with a smile and said:

"Uncle Wang, please stop analyzing me. I am not the apprentice of a state banquet master. I just like cooking since I was a child, and I learned it little by little by looking at recipes at home."

"If I use the title of state banquet master, I'd better not destroy the reputation of the state banquet master."

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Uncle Wang thought he was just being modest and didn't take it seriously.

I still think that Zhang Liang must have been the last disciple of some state banquet master, which is why he has such great cooking skills at such a young age.

Chen Xueru looked at Zhang Liang walking over, and hesitantly touched her purse. She asked tentatively:

"Boss, how much do those dishes cost?"

"I just went out to buy some goods a few days ago. I used all the money I had on silk and satin fabrics. I don't have much left now."

Chen Xueru felt a little uneasy. After all, Zhang Liang's cooking skills were comparable to those of a state banquet master, so the prices of his dishes must be much more expensive than those in ordinary restaurants.

Chen Xueru had already thought it through. If she didn't have enough money, she would ask Uncle Wang in front of her to borrow some first, and then return the money to Uncle Wang when she got the silk.

Just as Chen Xueru was thinking this, she heard Zhang Liang say with a smile:

"The total cost for your two meals today is 1.70 yuan. Today's fish in sour soup is for Uncle Wang, so I won't charge you."

"How many?!!"

When Chen Xueru heard the price Zhang Liang just said, she wondered if she was hallucinating.

This skill is comparable to that of a state banquet master. If he were to charge for it, it would have to be at least five or six yuan. Chen Xueru was even prepared to pay more than fifteen yuan.

As a result, the boss now says that these dishes only cost a little over one dollar!

Zhang Liang saw Chen Xueru's surprised expression and said with a smile:

"Yes, one dollar and seventy cents."

Chen Xueru's eyes widened in surprise. She asked Zhang Liang:

"Boss, the food you cook is so delicious, but you only charge a little over one dollar. That's too cheap!"

Zhang Liang had expected Chen Xueru's reaction. After all, he had heard such words more than once or twice in the past two days.

However, the most important thing for him to do business at the street stall is to have good quality and low price. Only when the price is low and the taste is good will there be a steady stream of diners coming to him.

Uncle Wang also understood why Chen Xueru had such a shocked reaction. He smiled and said:

"The bosses selling stir-fried dishes here sell them at such a low price. Normally, these dishes would cost at least two or three yuan if they were placed in a big restaurant."

"He only charges a little over one dollar now, so let's just be happy!"

Chen Xueru came back to her senses after hearing what Uncle Wang said. She smiled and took out four yuan from her bag and handed it to Zhang Liang:

"Boss, I just heard Uncle Wang say that there are long queues every day. I just think that it's because of your good cooking skills that those diners come here."

"I didn't expect your prices to be so affordable. No wonder your business is so good!"

"Don't worry about the change for these four dollars. Give me another plate of boiled pork slices. I just smelled the aroma of your pork slices and my mouth is watering!"

"I wish you a prosperous business!"

Zhang Liang gladly took the money from Chen Xueru and said to her with a smile:

"Then I'll take your good words!"

"If you like it, I'd be happy if you came to eat every day."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he smiled at the two of them and continued to work on his job.

Chen Xueru still looked at Uncle Wang in front of her with surprise:

"Old man, you have such a sharp eye. You can find this great place in one go!"

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she continued to eat the fish in sour soup in front of her. Although she originally didn't like fish, she couldn't stop eating this dish.

"It's so delicious! This is the best thing I've had in a while!"

Soon, the rice in Chen Xueru's bowl was almost gone. She looked over and saw Zhang Lin beside her saying:

"Little sister, give me another bowl of rice! Your dishes are really delicious!"

When Zhang Lin heard what Chen Xueru said, he agreed quickly and quickly placed a bowl of white rice in front of Chen Xueru and brought a bowl of side dishes.

"Enjoy your meal. This is a homemade dish. You can try it to relieve your greasy feeling."
