Chapter 125 Changing Destiny
Then start heating the pan with cold oil. When the oil temperature reaches 50% hot, pour the egg liquid wrapped around the shrimp into the pan and push gently with the back of the spatula.
When the egg liquid is almost solidified, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, stir-fry quickly for a few times and serve.
Then Du Shaojie raised his hand to indicate that his exam was over.
This dish tests the processing of ingredients, the marinating of ingredients, and especially the control of heat. Simple dishes are not necessarily easy to make. For a successful dish, the eggs are smooth and tender, the shrimps are fresh and crisp, and the aroma of the ingredients can be thoroughly integrated.
Although the exam time is two hours, almost everyone finished the exam within an hour and a half.
Du Shaojie noticed that most of the candidates were full of confidence, which should be related to this test question.
But on the day of the results, everyone was dumbfounded. Excluding the factors of the theoretical exam, the pass rate of the practical exam is less than half.
Zhong Fuxiang gave an explanation. If the food processing is not up to standard, the food pickling is not up to standard, the food frying technique is not up to standard, the food temperature is not up to standard, and the time of cooking is too early or too late.
Everyone thought that it was luck to draw a simple dish. Now we know that the simpler the dish, the stricter the requirements. It
can even be said that he was looking for faults with a magnifying glass.
There was a wailing at the scene. Du Shaojie took a look at his score, then smiled at Zhong Fuxiang, and turned around and left the test site regardless of whether the other party saw it or not.
His two scores (theory and practical) are still at the top of the list, and he successfully passed the second-level chef level test.
The second-level chef certificate will be obtained later, but he is not in a hurry, just waiting for ten days or half a month.
"How is it, Xiao Du, did the test go well?"
Dong Yunxian asked with a smile when he arrived at the unit in the afternoon.
Du Shaojie told the other party that he had passed the second-level chef level test.
He thought it was a trivial matter. It had been exactly two years since the last Level 3 Chef Level Examination. Two years of preparation time was ample, and it was reasonable for
him to pass the examination. But in fact, few people were like him, taking one step at a time every two years without any pause.
It was more than twice as difficult for a Level 3 Chef to be promoted to Level 2 Chef than to enter the Level 3 Chef level. The dishes were still the same, but the requirements were completely different.
This was evident from the less than 50% pass rate of this examination.
"It's good to pass! In the final analysis, our industry relies a lot on talent. Some people learn everything quickly, while some people waste their whole lives and never make a big name."
Dong Yunxian suddenly thought of his last disciple, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored.
He nodded at Du Shaojie and started to work on his own.
At the end of November, Du Shaojie got the Level 2 Chef Certificate, and almost at the same time, Qi Yan also walked into the examination room for the college entrance examination.
On the day of the examination, Du Shaojie did not see him off. It was not like he was going to the battle, and more people would bring more pressure to others. He firmly believed that Qi Yan could pass the exam. Besides the fact that she had a good academic foundation, she had never given up her studies in the past few years.
The early bird catches the worm, so it shouldn't lie, right?
On the weekend, Du Shaojie made [Dezhou Braised Chicken] at home and didn't go anywhere. Ten of the white-striped chickens were sent by Zhao Dajun, and the other ten were exchanged by him with exchange points.
Ten chickens cost 15 exchange points, which was still very cost-effective.
Early on Sunday morning, Zhao Dajun came to take away the ten soaked chickens and stuffed Du Shaojie with ten yuan again.
[Exchange points: 357 points\385 points]
[Duration: 1010 hours\8216 hours]
The dish [Scrambled Egg Shrimp] in the exam received a comprehensive evaluation of "up and down", and as for this batch of [Dezhou Braised Chicken], it also received a comprehensive evaluation of "up and down".
Du Shaojie now has a lot of remaining time and exchange points. Looking back, he has spent more than 7,000 hours on simulation training (competition), which is actually quite scary to think about.
His reclassification has been completed. Starting from next month, his basic salary will be 56.87 yuan per month. With allowances and subsidies, his monthly salary will be 62 yuan. After
seeing off Zhao Dajun, Du Shaojie went to Qi Yan's house with a [Dezhou Braised Chicken].
After knocking on the door, he saw Qi Yan who had just woken up.
The other party looked a little haggard. Du Shaojie couldn't help but feel a little "snap" in his heart. Could it be that she didn't do well in the exam this time? He waited for Qi Yan to finish the exam before coming to her house. His only purpose was to reward her.
Du Shaojie followed Qi Yan into the house. Her parents were at home.
"Shaojie is here? Come and sit down. Yanzi, go wash your face first. Look at what you have become? You are making people laugh at you."
Qi's mother greeted Du Shaojie, then asked Qi's father to boil water for tea, and urged her daughter to wash up quickly.
Qi Yan tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep. Perhaps she was too excited, and she was not used to the relaxation.
"Auntie, how did Yan Zi do in the exam?"
Du Shaojie asked about Qi Yan's exam situation while she was away.
"She said she did well. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, as if she had been injected with chicken blood."
After hearing what Qi's mother said, Du Shaojie put his worries aside.
Later, when Qi Yan came out after washing up, Du Shaojie handed her the [Dezhou Braised Chicken]: "Here, this is a reward for you. You, don't think too much, just wait for the admission notice."
He sat for nearly an hour before saying goodbye and leaving. Based on Qi Yan's own description, he judged that the other party should be able to pass the exam.
Walking home, Du Shaojie happened to meet Su Dapeng at the door of his house. Su Dapeng came to see him. They both had to go to work on weekdays. Du Shaojie was busy with work, and Su Dapeng always liked to do something after work. They could only meet on weekends.
"Dapeng, I said I would go to your house later. I made [Dezhou Braised Chicken]. When you leave, take one back and eat it yourself. Don't give it to others."
"That can't be done. I've been craving this thing for a long time. So, do you make a lot? Can I buy two for others?"
The two walked into the kitchen while talking.
Today's kitchen has indeed changed a lot. It looks clean and tidy, and it looks like a professional kitchen.
Du Shaojie took a [Dezhou Braised Chicken] out of the soup bucket, wrapped it with oil paper and put it in a bag. Then he hung the bag at the door of the kitchen, waiting for Su Dapeng to leave.
Su Dapeng hesitated for a long time, but still asked.
"There are only 10 chickens in total. I left a few at home and gave one to you and Yan Zi. How many do you think are left? Dapeng, do you want to curry favor with Section Chief Guo again? I haven't asked you what you are after."
Du Shaojie's heart moved, and he took this opportunity to ask clearly.
"What do you think you are after? Section Chief Guo is actually a good person. He will buy some frozen meat for me regardless of whether there is any benefit. I have a way to sell it, and most of the time I can sell it all without going to the free market."
Su Dapeng simply told Du Shaojie the truth. This guy is an uneasy person, and he has found a new way to make money.
This kind of thing, there is no risk or no risk, and there is also risk.
"You kid, take it easy, be careful not to be treated as a speculator."
Du Shaojie didn't say much, and then packed two more chickens for Su Dapeng, who cares who he gave them to. Of course,
he would not take Su Dapeng's money, but he probably didn't have a future.
"No, no, no, I'm serious. You don't know how popular your [Dezhou Braised Chicken] is outside. How about this in the future? I'll provide the raw materials, and I'll give you one yuan for processing a chicken. Just think of it as helping a brother."
Unexpectedly, Su Dapeng was so anxious that he jumped up and down. The purpose of coming here today was to talk to Du Shaojie about this matter.
He himself is a worker in a small collectively owned factory. He comes from an ordinary family. Just by being smart and able to handle things, he has become what he is now.
But he is not satisfied and plans to continue to expand his network of contacts.
This requires him to have certain resources in his hands. For example, like Section Chief Guo, so many people are around him, isn't it because they can get cheap meat from him without tickets?
What is a resource? Simply put, it is something that is scarce and in short supply.
Now Du Shaojie's [Dezhou Braised Chicken] is already famous, and many people are eager to get it, so a small chicken is a resource.
Su Dapeng wants to get to know more useful people by mastering this resource. His purpose is self-evident.
Du Shaojie was very surprised when he heard it!
It seemed that he had underestimated this childhood friend before. This guy is ambitious and has strong execution ability. In a few years, he will definitely become one of the first "ten thousand yuan households" in the country.
"Okay, okay. But I don't have time on weekdays. At most, I will make some on weekends. You prepare the raw materials in advance and tell me. Go sit in the house. Remember to take these three chickens with you when you leave. It's a bargain for you!"
Du Shaojie finally agreed to his childhood friend. If nothing else, just based on the years when he was on the farm, he had been helping the family all the time, so he should show some appreciation.
Besides, he didn't spend a penny on the renovation of the entire kitchen, and he hasn't paid back this favor yet.
"Hehe, thanks, buddy!"
Su Dapeng is now much thicker-skinned, and he will never be polite to Du Shaojie.
The two entered the house, Su Dapeng and Wang Yuxiu chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left. Naturally, he didn't forget to take the three chickens when he left.
Noon.
Du Shaojie made mixed noodles, and after dinner, he asked Xiaomei and Xiaoya to bring a chicken to Liang Meiqin's house.
Now, the two sisters have adapted to the study and life in No. 1 Middle School, and their grades are among the top ten in their respective classes. Du Shaojie would occasionally ask them to visit Liang Meiqin's house.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya went happily, and when they came back, they brought a large bag of frozen persimmons.
"Brother, these are the frozen persimmons given by auntie, and she asked us to bring them back for you to taste."
"Give me a few, I haven't eaten this for a long time."
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, then asked Xiaomei to take a few out for him.
Frozen persimmons cannot be eaten directly, they need to be placed in a place that is not too hot to slowly cool down, and they can be eaten after they cool down. So he put these frozen persimmons by the kitchen door, and froze the others directly outside.
