Chapter 93 You are the most handsome guy in the audience
Du Shaojie paid no attention to the outside world. He added clear oil to the pot. After the oil temperature rose, he first added chopped green onion and ginger to stir-fry, then added the chopped mutton slices and stir-fried quickly.
At this time, the blower was "whooshing" and the fire was full. At
this juncture, you need to stir-fry with high heat, otherwise the meat will release water. Once the water releases, the meat will become old, which will affect the taste.
Add a little salt during the stir-frying process to adjust the base flavor.
Then pour a little vinegar from the side of the pot, and you will hear a sizzling sound, the pot steam rises, and the aroma of the meat is stimulated all at once.
The vinegar on the side of the pot, taking its fragrance to evaporate the sour taste, can play a good role in removing the mutton and enhancing the flavor. Then add soy sauce and stir-fry evenly, which is actually the process of coloring the dish.
At this time, sprinkle the minced garlic for the first time, stir-fry a few times, and add the chopped green onion segments.
Continue to stir-fry and sprinkle the minced garlic for the second time. Add a little bit of vinegar, and finally drizzle a little oil, and then it's ready to go.
The whole dish must be cooked on high heat, and the frying time should not be too long. Especially the scallion segments, they must not be fried over, otherwise it will not only affect the appearance of the dish, but also the taste.
Du Shaojie arranged the dishes and raised his hand to signal.
"No. 8 Du Shaojie has completed the exam, please leave."
Except for Du Shaojie, the other group of candidates have not finished the exam, and the judges immediately asked him to leave.
The judges of the group gathered at the No. 8 stove and tasted the [Scallion Lamb] made by Du Shaojie.
"The onion fragrance is strong, the mutton is moderately soft and hard, not smelly or dry, even people who don't like mutton want to have a bite. I give it 90 points."
"The heat is just right, the frying technique is skillful, the seasoning highlights the fragrance of the main material, removes the smell of the main material, and perfectly blends with the onion fragrance. It has touched the essence of this dish. I give it 95 points."
". I give it 93 points."
After tasting, the judges gave their own comments and scores.
Of course, the comments and scores were recorded on the evaluation form and not spoken out.
Du Shaojie was also very satisfied with his performance today. After coming out, he walked around the school, and when the time was almost up, he slowly walked back to the outside of the examination room.
At this time, several candidates had finished the exam one after another and were standing there chatting.
"Isn't this the first person to finish the exam?"
Someone recognized Du Shaojie. In the practical operation this afternoon, the other party was the most handsome guy in the whole venue, which attracted the attention of many people.
However, speed is not everything. A young man in his twenties came over to try to get close to him.
"Hi, hello. You surprised everyone today. You cooked a little faster, didn't you? How is it? How do you feel?"
The young man was very talkative.
"Hello! I think I did OK. As for how many points I can get, it depends on the judges." Since we are new
friends, Du Shaojie said a perfunctory sentence and stopped talking.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing the conversation, the man said a few meaningless words and turned away.
When the exam time limit came, the practical exam was naturally over. There were indeed a few unlucky people who did not complete the dish preparation within the specified time limit and were directly declared as failed by the judges.
Failure in the exam means that you have not passed the third-level chef qualification certification. If you want to take the exam again, you don't know when it will happen.
"Candidates from Groups 1 and 2 will come to the school auditorium at 12 o'clock tomorrow morning. The final results of this exam will be announced at that time. Okay, everyone is tired, go back and rest."
Zhong Fuxiang announced the relevant matters, and the candidates left one after another. There
is another practical test next. Candidates from Groups 3 and 4 will stay, and candidates from Groups 1 and 2 can do whatever they need to do.
Du Shaojie rode his bike back home and fell asleep.
Others only saw his performance in the examination room, but they didn't know how much hard work he had done in private.
The fatigue accumulated over the past few days came out all at once, and it was dark when he woke up.
"Are you awake? I'll go heat up your meal for you, drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Wang Yuxiu saw her son coming out of the house and hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.
Xiaomei made a cup of sugar water for her brother, and Xiaoya handed over the White Rabbit milk candy that she couldn't bear to eat during the day.
"Xiaoya, you eat it, brother doesn't like candy."
Du Shaojie looked at his two sisters, and the love in his eyes was about to overflow.
The fire wall at home was burning hot, warm as spring, but he cared more about this family atmosphere.
After a while, Wang Yuxiu brought in a plate of celery fried meat and a plate of ramen.
Du Shaojie started eating immediately. The homemade noodles tasted very good. It wasn't long before he ate them all up, not a single bit left.
After dinner, he went to sit with Su Dapeng for a while. The life in the other's home had returned to its former tranquility.
After the last incident, Su's father became taciturn and completely bid farewell to his previous lifestyle of calling friends.
"The family's current economic conditions are not as good as before, but being together as a family is more important than anything else. Shaojie, I heard that you took the exam today? How did you do?"
They have been neighbors for many years, and it's hard to hide anything from one family.
Before, Wang Yuxiu and her two sisters didn't dare to ask Du Shaojie how he did in the exam, but they couldn't hide it when they came to Su Dapeng.
"You don't know my skills? Don't worry, I'll pass!"
In front of his childhood friend, Du Shaojie didn't need to be falsely modest.
I don't know if he was bragging, but with his performance today, he would definitely be ranked in the top ten among the 106 candidates.
"Hehe, you can definitely do it."
Su Dapeng didn't think he was bragging. It was normal to do well in the exam, and it would be a surprise if he didn't do well.
At this point, he suddenly remembered something, got up and dragged a large sack over, and then poured the contents on the red brick floor.
Du Shaojie took a look and saw that there were door noses, latches, screws and nuts, small hammers, small axes, screwdrivers, electrician's knives, etc. in this pile of things, with rich varieties and varieties.
"Where did you get these bits and pieces?"
Du Shaojie walked up to him, squatted down, and fiddled with them.
Then he looked at Su Dapeng with a suspicious look, waiting for him to explain.
"They are all defective products discarded by the factory, sold by kilogram, so I bought some. Then I used my spare time to repair them, and they are definitely usable. See if you need anything? Just take whatever you like."
Su Dapeng always wanted to share good things with friends.
However, behind his round smile, how much sadness is hidden, I am afraid only he knows.
Du Shaojie lowered his head and selected two sets of door noses and a few bolts, then stood up and sat back in the chair.
"Dapeng, tell me the truth, is your family in financial difficulties?"
Before, Su Dapeng's family's financial conditions were still good. Not to say that they were very rich, but they were still much better than Du Shaojie's family.
Now that such a thing happened at home, although the income has decreased, life is not so difficult. Is it really necessary to go out and trade these things?
Du Shaojie knew with his eyes closed that Su Dapeng's sack of things must be prepared to be sold on the black market.
The so-called black market is a spontaneous trading market that facilitates residents and urban workers to exchange what they have, and it is not that mysterious. The city managers also turned a blind eye. When the wind was tight, they would shout for a while, but they never stopped.
Take Du Shaojie's family for example. When the family was in the most tense situation, they would use precious fine grains to exchange for coarse grains with others, just to avoid going hungry.
It's not that he rejects this behavior, but he really can't make much money.
"My parents are not in good health recently, and my sister is pregnant with her second child. I thought about doing some things after work. I can't make too much money, but it can at least supplement the family expenses."
Su Dapeng said that the family was far from being unable to make ends meet, so Du Shaojie didn't have to worry.
After hearing what he said, Du Shaojie didn't say anything more. As long as it's not something "brought back" from the factory, and the source is clear, it's harmless to set up a street stall occasionally.
He sat for a while and then said goodbye and left.
On the way back, he was still thinking that when he had time, he would go to see how Dapeng set up a stall and visit the black market.
His current problem is that he doesn't have to worry about food and drink, but he has no spare money, and he wishes he could spend every penny in two.
Occasionally, he could help others prepare a few banquets outside, which would bring him some income. Such things were hard to come by, and the financial help to him was limited, so it could not be included in the expenditure plan.
But he was not in a hurry, because there would always be opportunities, and luck could not be stopped.
Before going to bed, Du Shaojie took stock of today's gains as usual.
[Bound Chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: First-class Worker]
[Current Work: Lamb with Scallions]
[Overall Evaluation: Medium] [Bonus
: Hotel Management Tutorial (Thirteen)]
[Reward: Pork Liver (2 kg), Beef Tenderloin (2 kg), Simulation Training Time (40 hours)]
[Special Reward: None]
[Time: 43 hours\790 hours]
In today's practical test, Du Shaojie was in very good condition, and the dish [Stir-fried Lamb with Scallions] he made directly received a comprehensive evaluation of "Medium".
This shows that after such a long period of accumulation, his cooking skills have finally reached a new level.
After receiving the reward, the remaining simulation training time finally returned from single digits to double digits, and it no longer looked pitiful.
Afterwards, he flipped through the [Hotel Management Tutorial] and didn't fall asleep until almost midnight.
The next day.
Du Shaojie got up according to his usual schedule and went out for a run. When he came back, Wang Yuxiu had already prepared breakfast.
Breakfast was relatively simple, with one fried egg per person, a plate of pickles, and steamed cake as the staple food. Although the proportion of refined grains is much higher now, coarse grains still account for about 30% of the supply, so you still have to eat what you need.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya went to school with their schoolbags after dinner. Du Shaojie took advantage of the time he had and took the grain book to buy the monthly ration of grain and oil.
There are standards for the rations, 27 (male)/26 (female) catties per month for urban residents; 33 (male)/32 (female) catties for middle school students, employees are similar to middle school students; and 45 catties for heavy manual laborers.
