Chapter 5 Newcomer Task 1
Chapter 5 Newcomer Task [-]
Apprentice assessment time arrived as scheduled.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 28th, Tian Mingzheng, the chef in charge of Sichuan cuisine, and Wu Han, the deputy chef, came to the kitchen.
The assessment will be presided over by two people and make a decision.
They will judge the dishes cooked by the apprentices, and finally decide whether to pass or not.
Both of them have been chefs for more than 20 years. Sitting in this position, there is nothing to say about their culinary skills.
The judging is that they make a decision after discussing, adopting the method of blind selection, which can guarantee the fairness of scoring to a certain extent, after all, everyone's dishes do not need to be made public.
And they will not make a biased decision on this trivial matter, after all, their status is here.
After the decision is made, the respective chefs also taste it to see if the decision is wrong.
Mistakes can be raised immediately to reduce misjudgments.
Then the ten apprentices who were going to participate in the inspection were called together with their respective master chefs.
The restaurant specializes in Sichuan cuisine, and there are now a total of twelve Sichuan chefs.
Of course, each chef is not just an apprentice, there are at least two or more, but this time only one can participate, and the others are not up to standard.
Regardless of the large number of people, because it takes five days to rest and two days off, there are only six or seven chefs who come to work every day.
During the peak season or when the day is particularly busy, there will be a severe shortage of manpower.
The quota for passing the assessment has actually been determined long ago.
If there are many places, the assessment standard will be relatively low. If there are not many places, then the assessment standard will be quite strict.
From July to October, these four months are the peak season for tourism and transit in Jincheng City.
Xu Yang guessed that the number of apprentices who could pass might be around three or four.
"Today, everyone is called together, and everything is clear about what to do. I won't talk nonsense. The assessment has officially started. There are some changes in the rules this time, so let Sous Chef Wu explain in detail."
After finishing speaking, Wu Han beside him stood up.
After looking around, he said: "First of all, the rules for the inspection of the three dishes this time remain unchanged. The only thing that has changed is that the three dishes will no longer be subject to a unified assessment, but will be assessed one by one and eliminated directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were whispers below.
"The rules have actually been changed. I don't know what they will be like."
"Yeah, I haven't heard that the rules will be changed. Is it a temporary decision?"
According to the previous regulations, each person has one hour to cook three courses and score the three courses at the end.
According to the results of the scoring, the candidates will be announced.
Immediately, someone asked: "Sous Chef Wu, do you mean to eliminate one dish during this inspection?"
"That's right, that's what it means. Each dish lasts 10 minutes. Once the time is up, the scoring will start. If the dish fails the assessment, it will be eliminated directly. There will be no second and third rounds until the third round. The chef and I The minister announced the final approval of the candidates."
After learning about the change, the chefs all knew that it was a raised assessment standard.
Dish by dish inspection does not seem to have changed much.
In fact, the apprentice who failed directly lost the opportunity to cook the other two dishes, and the apprentice who passed would also become nervous, worrying that he would be the next one to fail.
Wondering why this was changed.
Tian Mingzheng didn't wait for anyone to speak, and said directly: "Okay, don't discuss it for now, most of the other things are still the old rules, and the dishes cooked through the assessment are still used as the staff meal tonight, let's start.
Of course, good food should not be wasted.
Failed does not mean that the cooking is unpalatable, it just does not meet the standards of the two head chefs, at least it has reached the taste of home cooking.
During the preparation process, Wang Yuangang whispered to Xu Yang: "Xiao Xu, although the rules have been changed, I don't think it should be a problem for you."
"I'll do my best."
"I believe you. Originally, I suggested that you start cooking with fish-flavored shredded pork, but now you should choose simple dishes first and then difficult ones. It means that you should cook the unsure dishes first, and then the sure ones."
Xu Yang nodded.
The difficulty of the inspection will not be difficult at the beginning, it should be gradually increased, and the standard will be greatly increased at the last dish, so as to retain the desired number of people.
Don't worry if you didn't have this rule before, but now it doesn't work.
In fact, if Wang Yuangang didn't say anything, Xu Yang would also make changes.
"Master Wang, I see, you just wait for the good news."
"it is good."
"Ding, the system task has been released, please host to check."
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Yang heard the system prompt.
He knew the mission, it had been showing that it was not opened before, and he didn't care about it if he didn't find a place to open it.
Click on the system, and there is a prompt in the task column.
[Newcomer Task [-]]
Requirements: As a newcomer to the system, slapping the face is a compulsory course, and pass the assessment in the best condition.
Reward: Randomly unlock a five-star dish.
Failure: There is no failure penalty for newcomer missions.
Glancing at the mission, he understood.
It's about letting yourself cook the best dishes.
This is the way of thinking, even if there are no system tasks, you have to show your best state.
The rewards for five-star dishes are relatively average. If you use all the experience gained from signing in recently to upgrade a dish, you can almost reach five stars.
Anyway, it is something that must be done, and it is of course best to have rewards.
After giving the apprentices 10 minutes to prepare, Wu Han announced: "The first round of assessment begins."
As the voice fell, the 10-minute countdown began.
Home-cooked dishes don’t take much time, and one dish in 10 minutes is enough.
Although the chef usually prepares the ingredients and seasonings in advance, the speed must be guaranteed, otherwise once the meal is busy, it will take too long to affect the mood and experience of the guests.
Taste is important, but the speed should not be too slow.
The first dish Xu Yang chose was twice-cooked pork.
This is still a two-star dish, so it is not a problem to deal with the first round of inspections.
He originally wanted to add noodles and stir-fry in it, which is also a favorite ingredient in stir-fried dishes, but today's time is too short, so he gave up the idea.
Since unlocking twice-cooked pork, I have tasted it after practicing both one-star and two-star.
When the ingredients, seasonings, and recipes are all the same, two stars are better than one star.
Not only the color is bright red, but also the taste is strong, and the selected ingredients are fat but not greasy, which gives him an unprecedented sense of taste.
Twice-cooked pork is one of the most traditional and common Sichuan dishes. Chefs may have different recipes and ingredients, but the taste is roughly the same.
With the blessing of the system illustration book, it is very delicious. He thinks that he may not feel tired even if he eats it for half a month.
When there were 2 minutes left before the cooking time, Xu Yang's finished product was ready, and then he turned off the fire and put it on a plate.
When the time came, Tian Mingzheng and Wu Han got up and walked into the kitchen, accompanied by all the chefs.
In order to ensure the fairness of the assessment, there are only ten apprentices in the entire kitchen.
All ten people completed the cooking of the dishes within the specified time.
