Chapter 156 Knife Show
The two old men obviously knew each other, and they had a very good relationship. The tone of the greeting was much more warm and natural than with Alan Ducasse, without so many official words. Nagi Senzaemon happily patted Wang Zhanyuan's arm and said, "I thought that the council would just send a director to attend, but I didn't expect Brother Wang to take time out of his busy schedule to come in person. It's really... Let the far moon shine! ”
Wang Zhanyuan waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Brother is right." Although Yuanyue is in a league of its own, it still has a relationship with the Council and the National Culinary Institute. As the saying goes, if you break a bone, you still have tendons. On the centennial celebration of Yuanyue, my brother, it took my old nose to bring over half of the current Chinese food industry to celebrate my brother. ”
Commander-in-chief Nagi Senzaemon was excited when he heard this, and directly hugged Wang Zhanyuan, and Wang Zhanyuan's whisper came from his ears, "I received the news on the way here, and there are many people on the side of the blue ribbon, this time it may not be good, it must be the meaning of that person." I hope the people I brought this time are enough to calm the scene. ”
"Let my brother bother. All the way, rest for a while, and then think about it in the long run. Nagi Senzaemon also replied in a low voice, and ended the hug with a smile on his face, turning back and waving to the Ten Heroes. Erina Nagi was the first to line up and led Wang Zhanyuan to the VIP lounge.
The media present are all industry veterans who have been running food news all year round, and when they hear the phrase "half of the Chinese food industry", they naturally understand what it means. This means that the 'Seven Uniques' are coming, the 'Four Families of the World' are coming, and several of the Eight Dragon Heads will also attend. This kind of luxury lineup that hasn't appeared in nearly 50 years,Actually appeared again at the school festival in the far moon.,On the surface, it's just to celebrate.,But the senior old birds present have long smelled the unusual atmosphere.。 Thinking that the Le Cordon Bleu also has a number of stars in attendance, a huge collision between East and West will be staged in Yuanyue? The old birds are like sharks smelling blood, and while reporting the situation to the main station and requesting additional manpower, they are chasing Wang Zhanyuan who is far away, hoping to interview some first-hand scoop. The large number of reporters left to the embarrassment of the representatives of other culinary academies who entered the school afterwards.
The lengthy welcome ceremony finally ended, Jiang Yunfeng found the figures of the ten heroes in the crowd that ended, and quickly caught up with everyone and walked side by side. And said the question that I have endured for a long time because of the welcome ceremony: "Seniors, aren't all Chinese chefs managed and rated by the Chinese Chefs Council?" What kind of institution is the National Culinary Institute of China, it sounds like it is very powerful. ”
Jiu I Zhaoji looked at Jiang Yunfeng in surprise and asked rhetorically, "Are you really Chinese?" You don't even know that? Jiang Yunfeng shook his head, saying that Meng Xin needed the guidance of the big guy. After a long time, I sighed helplessly, put on a posture of a senior master, and answered Jiang Yunfeng's doubts: "The Chinese Chefs Council is a cooperative body of the Michelin Council, responsible for evaluating the ranks of Chinese chefs around the world, which you should know. The National Culinary Academy of China is a place where all chefs who want or intend to advance to the rank of grandmaster go to learn. All in all, the Council is the governing and accrediting body, and the National Culinary Institute is a training institution like Yuanyue. ”
"But it's much more advanced than Yuanyue." Ichshiki Hui went on to explain, "Nowadays, there are two types of culinary colleges all over the world, intermediate and advanced, and we at Yuanyue Charyo are the best comprehensive mid-level culinary schools in Asia. The National Culinary Institute is affiliated with the central government. It is the world's top Chinese cuisine school and the holy place in the hearts of all Chinese chefs. The National Culinary Institute never recruits students. Only those who have the qualification of senior chef can apply, and they must go through a strict skill assessment, or be recommended by a number of professors to be eligible for further study. ”
"Isn't my senior a senior chef, I'm qualified to apply."
"Easy to say." After a long time, I said regretfully, "I filled out the application last year, but I was eliminated. There are many people in the world who are qualified as senior chefs in Chinese cuisine, but the National Culinary Institute only accepts 40 students every year, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is. ”
"Is that the same as the difficulty of getting into Yuanyue?" Jiang Yunfeng proposed a measurement standard.
"Although it's a bit rude to say this, taking the Yuanyue exam is just an easy difficulty, and if you want to be admitted to the National Culinary Academy, it's a hellish level of game difficulty." Issehui said with a smile, "And the professors who teach at the National Culinary Academy are either 'Seven Uniques' or the heads of the eight major cuisines, and the school period is only one year, but every class hour has to be assessed." If you don't pass the test, you will directly end your further studies and give you a drop-out. The graduation rate is perennially less than one percent. For example, only one of the 40 people who was lucky enough to be admitted last year graduated from the final entrance examination this year. ”
Jiang Yunfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and wondered, "I don't even have a chance to take the make-up exam, since I am so unkind, why do so many people apply every year?" ”
I glanced at it for a long time, and said disdainfully, "So a guy like you who doesn't want to make progress will not understand the sacredness there, and it is a great honor to have so many grandmasters teach and share their experiences." After saying that, he looked yearning.
"Eh~~~Hehe~~~" Jiang Yunfeng scratched his head in embarrassment.
---------------------------------------------- Dividing Line----------------------------------------------------------
The stinky and long leader's speech finally ended, the salute resounded in the sky, and streamers flew all over the sky. The Gakuen Festival, jointly organized by six universities in Tokyo and Enzuki, has finally officially opened. The Yuanyue campus, which is usually empty, was already crowded with people at that time, and it was unprecedented. Near noon, shops with the help of students from each university began to provide lunch and drinks to tourists and students.
Jiang Yunfeng acted as a guide, leading her sister Jiang Yutong and several of her roommates to shuttle through the crowd, eating, drinking and having fun from one end to the other. In order to dredge up interpersonal relationships, Jiang Yutong wanted to bear all the expenses, but the roommates said that it was not good, so they switched to the + system. Everyone played to the shooting game field started by Waseda students, and because there has been fierce competition between Tokyo University and Waseda in various academic fields for many years, Jiang Yutong and several roommates came up with the idea of going to 'smash the field'.
'呯~呯~呯~! In the rapid gunfire, the gifts used as targets on the shelves not far away kept falling. Jiang Yutong blew the smoke of gunpowder that did not exist at the muzzle of the gun, and distributed a large number of gifts to passers-by in front of the Waseda students who looked like they had eaten flies. Then he turned around and felt that shooting with one hand was not enjoyable, so he picked up two guns, and was about to carry out the next wave of 'crazy slaughter', when several students in Yuanyue uniforms squeezed through the crowd around to watch the lively applause, came to Jiang Yunfeng, and said, "Is it Jiang Yunfeng?" ”
"I am, what's the matter?"
"We were the members of the Executive Committee of the Celebration Celebration like this. We are holding a cooking knowledge lecture and skill demonstration, and there is a shortage of Chinese knife performers, so Erina-sama recommends you. So I hope you'll be there. ”
"That's right." Jiang Yunfeng thought for a while, then agreed, "Okay, will you go to the venue now?" Can you take my sister with her friends? ”
"Yes! No problem. ”
Jiang Yunfeng turned around and spread his hands to his sister, Jiang Yutong also reluctantly put down the air gun in his hand and left in the farewell of the students of Waseda University.
Backstage at the venue, Jiang Yunfeng, who had changed his number to a chef's uniform, walked to the waiting area, and saw Saito Hiroaki Saito, who was shirtless and carrying a belt full of knives, COS 'Seven Star Knife' Rennes, so he politely greeted, "Senior Saito, meet again." It's really an honor for me to have the honor to perform on the same stage this time, and I've long wanted to see the legendary magic of the senior's sword skills. ”
Saito replied politely, "The junior brother liked it in seconds." ”
After the last group of performers ended, Jiang Yunfeng and Saito Masuaki followed the host's guidance to their respective cooking stations. The staff delivered a whole blue flag tuna. Saito stroked the fish, then pulled out his right hand and held the 'original' kitchen knife。。。。。
