Chapter 1199 Opening a Chef Class
After the award ceremony, Jian Yan thought her life would return to normal, but she didn't expect that she would receive a task.
A request came from the Ministry of Education, hoping that she and the Imperial College would work together to develop a special culinary discipline and place it under the Department of Gastroenterology.
Jian Yan was very confused. She stared blankly at the Minister of Education and the principal of Dizong University. After a long silence, she said sincerely, "I don't think it's necessary to open a class specifically to teach cooking skills."
"Cooking is a skill that relies more on talent than intelligence. Anyone who is interested in cooking and willing to practice in the kitchen can, even if they can't become a master, still be able to make a delicious meal."
"Those who lack talent and are not that interested in cooking will only achieve limited success even if they study systematically."
"To be honest, this industry is not easy. If you don't really love it, you won't be able to stand the loneliness of dealing with pots and pans for a long time, and the smell of cooking fumes will make you lose your appetite and change careers after just one or two years."
"There are many chefs working in the empire nowadays. Every chef has an apprentice, and the apprentices have apprentices. Over time, there will be even more chefs working in the industry."
"There's really no need to waste educational resources to set up a special class."
“Even if it were to open, I don’t think there would be any students.”
The principal looked at her with a speechless look, and the minister was also speechless.
The young lady of the Lu family really dares to speak out.
There are a lot of things to worry about.
But I have to say that her worries are reasonable and not unnecessary.
That’s right, no matter how reasonable this concern is, it cannot change the establishment of the chef class.
"This cooking class is mainly for students from foreign civilizations, not students from the Empire."
The Minister said gently, "Of course, if students from the Empire are interested, they can also sign up for the cooking class."
"Madam, do you understand what I mean?!" he asked expectantly.
In short, I understand. Even if I didn’t understand it at first, I understand it now.
She nodded, reminded me about the address, and told me to just call her by her name instead of Madam, and then asked, "Why do you want to make your cooking skills a business card?"
“I thought delicious food was enough.”
As soon as this topic came up, the minister and the principal looked at her and burst into laughter.
Jian Yan was completely confused by the laughter and was about to ask what was going on when the Minister, who seemed to understand her confusion, explained, "In fact, the establishment of the cooking class is thanks to you."
"Well···"
Jian Yan was really stunned this time. She said blankly, "I didn't do anything."
"state banquet!"
The Minister reminded him, "The state banquet for which you were the head chef conquered the hearts of all the high-ranking officials from the civilizations that came to the empire.
Their yearning for imperial culinary skills is deeper and more profound than their yearning for delicious food."
"The chef class was launched in response to strong requests from these civilizations, not on our own initiative."
After a slight pause, he made a final summary, "So, whether it's for diplomatic goodwill or foreign exchange earnings, the opening of the cooking class is a foregone conclusion."
The short answer is quite bland. "The consequence of teaching these courses is that those who graduate will go back and open restaurants. Fresh, natural food has a better chance of success than packaged food. This could even affect food exports."
You know, the popularity of the imperial cuisine was driven by the opening of dedicated trade lines. Countless sealed-packaged foods were loaded onto trucks and transported to ports as soon as they left the production workshops, and then sent to the residential planets of various civilizations via the ports.
