Chapter 476 - Special Grade Preliminary Examination
"Let's go!" On the third day, after a day of rest at home, it was also time for the special exam. Wang Yong had already registered, and the exam number was delivered to him a few days ago, and several months of preparation were nothing more than for this day.
"Have you confirmed the kitchen utensils and seasonings?" Xun Yu came over early in the morning with a pair of children, after all, today is also an important day, even if the three of them did not participate, they sweated for Wang Yong.
Don't look at the high to the special level, it is a level, sometimes it is like a moat, horizontal in front of all the chefs.
A master chef can be regarded as a master chef who does all this with his own taste, the magic of knife work, the seasoning that makes ordinary food shine, the heat of visual art, and the eye that can unearth the deliciousness of ingredients.
"It's been checked, no problem!" Wang Yong had already carefully checked it thirty minutes ago.
"Husband......" Guo Jia stepped forward, "Today is only the preliminaries, and the finals will be in ten days, don't be so nervous." ”
"yes, I know!" Wang Yong nodded, and then kissed his family members on the face, and then rode on the Jueying and took Wen Ming to the venue. Coincidentally, the venue was also in the suburbs, and it was not too far from his Zhuangzi.
At first, it was not clear why the venue was chosen here, but when I actually got here, I realized why. The assessment of the special chef is a national assessment, and all senior chefs, who are confident in their cooking skills, will come to the examination.
And because someone is in the chef industry, after adding a few cooking methods and many seasonings, there are naturally many old senior chefs who come to refer to it. Fortunately, this is only an exam, not a competition, otherwise, it will definitely not be friendly for those who have just become a senior chef!
"Chef, I didn't expect you to take the exam...... Hand alright? Not long after the venue, two familiar figures walked over, it was the assistant chef of the Cheqi General's Mansion. That's right, they also have the status of a three-grade senior chef, so it's normal for them to take the exam.
"It's already seventy percent, but it's still a little stinging, it doesn't affect the ...... of the knife" Wang Yong smiled, in fact, he knew the real situation, the touch was much worse than the peak moment, and it was estimated that he should be careful when going under the knife.
"That's fine, you have a plan this time...... Admitted to the special grade? The two asked cautiously.
"I don't know what the exam questions are, but if it's something I'm not good at, that's fine. In the last formal assessment, you need to make your own fire, but this is not in terms of heat, and you will be deducted points directly. Wang Yong shook his head and said.
"This year's assessment seems to be different from the past, and I'm really worried about whether I can pass the test. I don't want more, I can upgrade from the third grade to the second grade, in fact, it's okay. One of the cooks sighed, he knew his own level, no matter how he practiced, some things were at the level of talent, and he couldn't force them.
Wang Yong hadn't spoken yet, but someone in the examination room came with a notice: "Quiet, quiet!" Candidates who are taking the Master Chef exam for the first time are also asked to stand in the area on the left, and those who have already referred to it more than once, in the middle, and more than three times, stand on the right, depending on where you stand, the assessment method will be different! ”
"Actually separate assessments?" Wang Yong was stunned when he heard this.
"I guess I also hope to be fairer, those who have participated many times, many tricks are estimated to have been known, and it is not good to meet the standards of newcomers at this time. But if you don't press it, it's a little unfair to some first-time referencers...... Okay, let's go to the middle area first and say goodbye! The two men replied, and then took their leave.
Wang Yong didn't have a problem, the area of the first exam in the past turned out to be a lot more deserted here. However, there is a big difference in age groups, there are people in their twenties, some in their thirties, and some in their forties. There are revitalized species, and there are non-reverted species, and for women, there are only two or three scattered species. Sure enough, the chef world may not be very friendly to women......
"It's the first time to take the special chef exam, only more than fifty of you?!" When the examiner came to this area, he saw fifty people scattered here, three or four hundred people in the middle area, and thousands of people in the rightmost area, which was a little messy.
Immediately saw Wang Yong, and couldn't help but be stunned, in the impression that someone had only taken the advanced exam a few months ago. looked at his chest, the badge of the third-grade senior chef, this is not fake.
Wang Yong...... Oh, the number one scumbag in the world...... This guy's culinary talent is indeed very powerful...... "The examiner flipped through the candidates' information, and when he saw Wang Yong's page, he couldn't help but sigh, the junior chef who took the exam the year before last, and the intermediate chef who took the exam last year, if it weren't for the fact that there was no senior chef exam and special chef exam last year, I'm afraid that he would have risen all the way up last year.
"However, the Master Chef exam is different from the Senior Chef exam!" The examiner closed the papers, "Then, come with me!" Your exam room is located elsewhere! ”
"Do you want to take the exam somewhere else?" When everyone heard this, they were a little noisy, and they hadn't heard of such a thing.
"You're good, they're stricter over there. There are too many new seasonings and new cooking methods in the chef world, and many chefs have broken through one after another. It's just that the title of special chef is given casually, and I am afraid that the identity of special chef in the future will be too cheap. Therefore, according to the results of the consultation with His Majesty in the chef's guild, the difficulty of the exam will be increased! The examiner said.
The main reason why the Chefs' Guild became an official organization was the support of the imperial court. Basically, many restaurants related to cooking and food are actually counted under the chef's guild system. On the one hand, it is subject to supervision, and on the other hand, it is also to accept asylum.
The group had no choice, and they couldn't fail to take the test, but they were taken to the hunting ground used for field hunting, and when they arrived here, the candidates were still confused. The way it looks, how does the exam have anything to do with here.
"The time limit is one and a half hours, choose ingredients for cooking, the theme is 'autumn rhyme', do you understand?" The examiner pointed to this field hunting venue and said to the candidates.
"Examiner, the ingredients ......" someone immediately asked, and more people began to have a premonition of uneasiness in their hearts.
"The ingredients are hunted and collected by themselves, and the tools have been discussed with the steward of the field hunting ground, and they can be used by themselves, but the bow and arrow must be used carefully, and it is forbidden to use the arrows on people, otherwise they will not only be disqualified, but also severely punished in accordance with the "Han Law"." The examiner said.
"Ming...... I understand...... "I dare to really collect the ingredients by myself, and the candidates are cold in their hearts at the moment."
"Chefs need to be able to bring out the best dishes in every situation. This exam is mainly to test your eyesight, physical fitness, judgment of ingredients, and ability to adapt to changes. If you only stick to the rules and cook according to the recipe, such a chef, the chef's guild doesn't need it! The examiner said coldly.
So it's not a chef at all, it's a cook, no, a living cooking machine at all! If there are such beings in the guild, then there will be no development and progress in the future!
"So, if there's no problem, let's get started!" The examiner looked at the time and then announced.
"Yes!" Everyone had no way, they could only run to the rest area of the field hunting, took the bow and arrow, the net bag or something, and ran towards the field hunting ground, the conditional horseback riding, the unconditional direct running, the huge field hunting ground stocked a lot of wild animals, but also attracted a lot of animals to come, and because of this, how to choose materials, how to cook, how to point the question, has become a problem!
