Chapter 476
"Setting off!" On the third day, after a day of rest at home, it was also the day for the special exam. Wang Yong had already signed up and the exam number was delivered to his hands a few days ago. The preparation for a few months was nothing more than this day.
"Have you confirmed the kitchen utensils and seasonings?" Xun Yu came here early in the morning with his children. After all, today is an important day. Even if the three of them did not participate, they were worried about Wang Yong.
Don’t look at the advanced to the special level, it is just a level, sometimes it is like a natural disaster, standing in front of all the chefs.
The taste of one's own, turning decay into magical knife skills, allowing ordinary food to shine brightly, the temperature of visual art, and the gaze that can discover the deliciousness of the ingredients. Only those who do all this can be considered a super chef.
"It's been checked, no problem!" Wang Yong had carefully checked it thirty minutes ago.
"Husband..." Guo Jia stepped forward, "Today is only the preliminaries, and the finals will be ten days later, so don't be so nervous."
"Well, I know!" Wang Yong nodded, then kissed his family on the face, then rode on Jueying and took Wenming to the venue. Coincidentally, the venue was also in the suburbs, and it was not too far from his village.
It was not clear at the beginning why the venue chose here. Only when I really got here did I know why. The assessment of special chefs is a national assessment. All senior chefs who have confidence in cooking will come to take the exam.
Because someone added several cooking methods and many seasonings for the chef industry, there were naturally many old senior chefs coming to refer to it. Fortunately, this is just an exam, not a competition. Otherwise, for those newcomers who have just become senior chefs, this exam is definitely not friendly!
"Sir Chef, I didn't expect you to take the exam... Are you okay?" Not long after in the venue, two familiar figures came, and they were the chefs of General Cheqi's Mansion. Yes, they also have the identity of a third-grade senior chef, so it is normal for them to take the exam.
"It has been 70% healed, and it still hurts a little, and it doesn't affect the knife..." Wang Yong smiled. In fact, he knew the real situation. The touch was much worse than the peak moment. I guess you should be careful when taking the knife.
"That's good. Do you have any plans to... get into the special grade this time?" the two of them asked cautiously.
"I don't know what the test questions are. If it is the scope I am not good at, there is nothing I can do. In the last formal assessment, I had to make a fire by myself, but this was not in terms of the heat, and I was directly deducted points." Wang Yong shook his head and said.
"This year's assessment seems different from before. I'm really worried about whether I can pass the exam. I don't ask for more. I can upgrade from third-grade to second-grade, which is actually OK." One of the chefs sighed. He knew his level. No matter how he practiced, some things were at the talent level and could not be forced.
Wang Yong had not spoken yet, but someone from the examination room sent a notice: "Silent, quiet! Please ask the candidates who took the Extra Chef Examination for the first time to stand in the left area, and those who have already referenced more than once, in the middle, more than three times, stand on the right. According to the position of your standing, the assessment method will also be different!"
"We actually went to the assessment separately?" Wang Yong was stunned when he heard this.
"I guess I hope it will be fairer. Those who have participated many times and probably already know many tricks. It will be bad at this time according to the newcomer's standards. But if you don't follow it, it will be a bit unfair to some people who refer to it for the first time... Okay, let's go to the middle area first and say goodbye!" The two of them replied, then said goodbye and left.
Wang Yong had no choice. In the past, the area where he had the first exam was suddenly deserted. However, the age group was very different, including those in their twenties, those in their thirties, and those in their 40s. There were also those in their genus of ancients, and some in their genus of non-return ancients. For women, there were only two or three. Sure enough, the chef industry may not be very friendly to women...
"The only one who took the Extra Chef Examination for the first time was more than fifty of you?!" The examiner came to this area and saw the fifty people scattered here. Then he looked at the three or four hundred people in the middle area and the thousands in the rightmost area, which was a bit messy.
I immediately saw Wang Yong and was stunned. In my impression, someone had just taken the advanced exam a few months ago. I looked at his chest and the third-grade senior chef badge, which was not fake.
"Wang Yong... Oh, the most scumbag in the world... This guy has a great cooking talent..." The examiner flipped through the candidate information. When he saw Wang Yong's page, he couldn't help but sigh that the junior chef who took the exam two years ago and the intermediate chef who took the exam last year, if it weren't for the senior chef exam and the special chef exam last year, he would be afraid that he had already been promoted last year.
"However, the Extra Chef Examination is different from the Senior Chef Examination!" The examiner closed the information, "Then, come with me! Your examination room is arranged elsewhere!"
"Do you have to take the exam somewhere else?" Everyone started to yell when they heard this, but they hadn't heard of it.
"You are good, they are more strict. Because of the new seasonings and many new cooking methods in the chef industry, many chefs have made breakthroughs one after another. But they just give the title of a special chef casually. I am afraid that the identity of a special chef will be too expensive in the future. So according to the chef's guild and the discussion with His Majesty, the difficulty of the exam will be increased!" said the examiner.
The reason why Chef Guilds can become an official organization is mainly supported by the court. Basically, many shops related to cooking and diet are actually considered under the Chef Guild system. On the one hand, they are subject to supervision and on the other hand, they are also subject to protection.
The group had no choice but to take the exam, but they were taken to the hunting ground for hunting. When they arrived here, the candidates were still confused. How did the exam have something to do with this place?
"It takes only one and a half hours to choose ingredients for cooking. The theme is 'Autumn Rhyme'. Do you understand?" The examiner pointed to the hunting venue and said to the candidates.
"Examiner, ingredients..." Someone asked immediately, and more people began to have a feeling of uneasiness.
"If you hunt and collect the ingredients yourself, you have discussed with the hunting ground manager and can use them by yourself. However, you must be careful when using bows and arrows. People are prohibited. Otherwise, not only will they be disqualified, but they will also be severely punished in accordance with the "Han Law"." The examiner said.
"Ming... I understand..." It turns out that I really have to collect the ingredients by myself, and the candidates are feeling cold at this moment.
"The chef must be able to serve the best dishes under various circumstances. This exam mainly tests your gaze, physical fitness, judgment of ingredients, and ability to adapt to changes. If you only know how to stick to the rules and cook according to the recipe, such a chef's guild will not need it!" The examiner said coldly.
This is not a chef at all, but a chef. No, it is just a living cooking machine! If the guilds are all like this, then don’t talk about any development and progress in the future!
"So, if there is no problem, just start!" The examiner looked at the time and announced.
"Yes!" Everyone had no choice but to go to the hunting rest area, took the bows and arrows, and ran towards the hunting ground, rode horses with conditions, and ran directly without conditions. The huge hunting ground stocked many wild animals, and also attracted many animals to come. It is precisely because of this that how to choose materials, how to cook, and how to point out the topic has become a problem!
