Chapter 421: Ungrateful Wolf!
Wang Yong walked into Yongnian Building, feeling a little dazed all the way.
No one in the Wang family doesn’t know about the name and past of Nanping Mountain.
Wang De's father, Wang Yongnian, is over 90 years old this year. His ancestors were a family of imperial chefs with a long history of family tradition. Later, they encountered turbulent times and the ancestral restaurant fell into decline. It was not until it was passed down to Wang Yongnian's generation that Yongnianlou was revived and prospered.
Wang Yongnian himself was highly respected and had recruited apprentices from all over the world and taught them everything he knew. He also made generous donations and donated money to build bridges and roads. He was a respected elder in the culinary world and the most respected person in the hearts of all the younger generations of the Wang family.
However, what people talked about most in Wang Yongnian's life was the feud between him and his direct disciple Nan Pingshan.
It is said that although Wang Yongnian accepted many nominal disciples in his life and was never stingy in sharing his knowledge with his fellow junior colleagues who came to him for advice, he did not have many actual disciples.
His eldest disciple is his biological son Wang De, who started learning to hold a kitchen knife when he could walk and is his designated successor.
Nanpingshan ranked seventh among his direct disciples, neither high nor low, neither good nor bad.
Many people even couldn't understand why Wang Yongnian would accept a small town chef in his twenties who had never received formal chef training as his personal disciple.
Therefore, no one is optimistic about Nanping Mountain.
They believed that the greatest luck this person had in his life was that he met Mr. Wang by chance and was chosen by him as his disciple. His future fate would most likely be to be an ordinary chef in Yongnianlou and live a mediocre life.
No one expected that coming to Yongnian Tower was just the beginning of Nanpingshan’s legendary life.
In his 20s, he dropped everything and started from scratch with other young apprentices who were a few years older and in their teens. It took him 10 years to surpass the others and become the top apprentice.
When he was in his 30s, he began to gradually emerge and became famous in Yanjing.
When he was 40, a chef’s prime time, Nan Pingshan officially topped the list of famous chefs, becoming an unparalleled genius in the contemporary chef world, overshadowing all his peers! If it weren’t for the subsequent events, the story of Nan Pingshan and Wang Yongnian, the master and apprentice, would have been passed down forever…
Thinking of this, Wang Yong's face changed slightly, revealing a bit of disgust! He hated Nan Pingshan, a typical ungrateful person, who ate his Wang family's food but turned around and didn't recognize him! It was obviously his Wang family who sent him all the way to the top of the famous chef list.
Without the Wang family, his Nanpingshan is nothing!
What was the result? Nanpingshan turned around and set up his own restaurant, snatching away Yongnianlou's business and bringing Yongnianlou to the brink of bankruptcy!
Fortunately, Nanpingshan was only popular for a few years before Mr. Wang discovered that he had stolen the Wang family's recipe, secretly modified it, and sold it in his restaurant in a different way. It even became a famous self-created signature dish known to everyone in Yanjing!
Mr. Wang wanted to persuade Nan Pingshan to change his ways, but Nan Pingshan was stubborn and insisted that he had researched the recipe himself. He kept doing this for several years and was still unwilling to give in.
Finally, Mr. Wang had no choice but to make the matter public.
For a time, the food industry was shaken.
The fact that the number one chef on the list was actually a recipe thief was reported on the headlines of major newspapers.
Chinese people respect their teachers the most, and most chefs follow the traditional master-apprentice system of the old times.
Naturally, everyone dislikes people like Nan Pingshan who betray their teachers and ancestors.
In the end, Nan Pingshan paid the price he deserved.
Not only did he get removed from the celebrity chefs list, the Chefs Association also announced that it would no longer work with him.
Even his restaurant went from being world-famous to being deserted.
Years of hard work have all been in vain.
After that, he disappeared from the public eye and no one knew where he went.
As a result, now that Nan Pingshan is dead, his granddaughter Nanzhi is back! She even found an opportunity to enter their Yongnian Building and build a reputation by stepping on Yongnian Building! Was this intentional?
This must be intentional! She came back to avenge her grandfather!
And there is Song Lin, one of Master Wang’s direct disciples. He always followed Nan Pingshan around and called him “senior brother” all the time. Is it possible that he is completely unaware of Nan Zhi’s identity?
He must have known about it and gave Nanzhi special convenience!
No wonder Song Lin always argued with him for Nanzhi before. It turned out that the real reason was here!
Maybe Song Lin had other purposes behind it.
After all, who would bother to this extent for someone who had left more than 20 years ago? Song Lin's real intention might be to watch the snipe and the clam fight, and finally he would reap the benefits...
Wolf ambition! Absolutely wolf ambition! Just thinking about it, Wang Yong was so angry that his blood boiled. He wanted to find Nanzhi and Song Lin on the spot to question them!
He unconsciously walked towards the kitchen and walked along the quiet corridor...
"ah!"
Wang Yong bumped head-on into a little guy.
He thought it was a guest and was about to apologize in a hurry.
After taking a closer look, I realized that the other person was Nan Yi.
Wang Yong's expression changed, and he greeted Nan Yi unnaturally:
"Yes, it's Nan Yi, why are you here?"
Nan Yi has always been sensitive to changes in emotions.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He immediately felt a hint of disgust from Wang Yong, and the hard thorns that were originally hidden under the obedient surface stood up, staring at Wang Yong vigilantly:
"Hello, Manager Wang, I just went to the bathroom."
Wang Yong managed to force a smile:
"Why call him Manager Wang? Just call him Uncle Wang..."
Nan Yi just nodded without making any comment.
But Wang Yong felt a little uneasy when he saw his black and white eyes.
Finally, he gave a few casual instructions and left in a hurry.
Nan Yi did not let this matter slip easily.
He returned to the kitchen and took advantage of Nanzhi's rest to tell his mother about it! Nanzhi didn't think it was just a child making a fuss.
On the contrary, she deeply understood Nan Yi's sensitivity to malicious intent, and her expression immediately became solemn:
"Are you sure he's just been like this today? He's never been like this before?"
Nan Yi nodded vigorously:
"Yeah! That's right!"
Nanzhi began to think deeply.
Just target her and go against her in every way.
Why would Wang Yong inexplicably vent his anger on a child in Southern Italy?
Did something special happen today? Nanzhi couldn't figure out the connection for the time being, so he had to make a note of it secretly.
But she didn't expect that she would meet Wang Yong in the afternoon.
And it was Wang Yong who changed his attitude towards her 180 degrees and became as attentive as could be!
First, Wang Yong specially called together all the employees of the restaurant and held a short meeting during their free time in the afternoon. The main purpose was to praise Nanzhi for his contribution to Yongnianlou as the new chef.
Then, he announced on the spot that he would increase Nanzhi’s commission for dishes, almost enough to be on par with the old chef who had been working for more than ten years!
