Chapter 124 Impact
on Level 2 Chef At the workplace,
Yao Liwen, Wang Xuejun and Dong Yunxian all supported Du Shaojie to apply for the exam. If he needed time, they would give him time, and it would not count as asking for leave. If he needed to practice, they would give him more opportunities. They would let him choose the dishes ordered by the customers first, and let him cook as long as it would help the exam.
As a newly established unit, they wished that the chef's level was as high as possible.
This morning,
Du Shaojie did not go to work, but rode his bike directly to the Commercial Bureau to sign up.
He came early, but still waited in line for half an hour. He could clearly feel that the number of applicants this time was more than the last time.
After signing up, Du Shaojie went to the People's Hospital.
Wang Liwen had come to see him twice before, but because they were busy, they didn't say a few words in total. So they agreed to cook and eat at her place at noon today.
Du Shaojie parked his bike at the door, knocked on the door a few times, but no one opened it, so he took out the spare key from his body, opened the door and walked in.
Wang Liwen had naturally forced the key on him, saying that the city was not as safe as the farm, and that she dared not hide the key under the threshold, and that she would go find him if she forgot to bring the key one day.
Entering the house, a wave of hot air
hit him in the face. The People's Hospital has its own boiler room, and the hospital and the family area are both heated, so there is no need to burn the fire wall yourself. Cooking and boiling water still require coal. Nowadays, gas cylinders have begun to appear, but they are far from popular.
The local coal resources are very rich, and coal is generally burned directly, and the popularity of honeycomb coal is not high.
It is just that it is more troublesome to light the stove, and a small amount of firewood is needed when starting the fire.
Du Shaojie went to the kitchen first to take a look. The charcoal fire in the furnace had been lit, but a layer of pulverized coal was pressed on it, so that the coal could burn longer and avoid wasting resources when it was not used.
"Shaojie, are you here? Help me pick it up."
At this time, Wang Liwen walked in from outside, carrying a bunch of things in her hands, and she was obviously out buying vegetables.
Du Shaojie took it and looked at it. There were two or three kinds of vegetables, a white-striped chicken, onions, ginger, garlic, spicy skin, and finally a small bag of flour.
Wang Liwen didn't cook by herself and rarely cooked at home, so there were many things missing at home. However, the seasonings were basically complete, and she had bought them back in the past two days.
Du Shaojie immediately understood that the other party definitely wanted to eat [big plate chicken], and all the raw materials had been prepared.
Since the opening of Guangyuan Hotel, Du Shaojie has made [big plate chicken] almost every day, and the quality can be guaranteed to be consistent, and you can't make mistakes with your eyes closed.
However, Wang Liwen's ingredients and seasonings are all available, but the spices are much worse.
While the other party was washing the vegetables, Du Shaojie took out some of the spices he needed from his storage space. He had no shortage of spices, and basically had all the commonly used varieties.
The preparations were quickly done, and Du Shaojie began to make [big plate chicken], and Wang Liwen also kneaded the dough.
After the [big plate chicken] came out of the pot, she started to cook the belt noodles. This is the staple food for lunch, and it is a perfect match with this dish.
"We can't finish a chicken at all. Bring a plate and I'll take some away first."
Leaving most of the chicken, the two began to eat.
After a while, Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen's foreheads were slightly sweaty, and they ate so comfortably.
After eating, they put down their chopsticks and neither of them wanted to move.
"Shaojie, your childhood sweetheart is about to fly away, and you just watch it? If I were you, I would encourage Yan Zi to apply for a school in this province, and if it doesn't work, go to Chang'an. If it goes to a farther place, you really can't reach it."
Wang Liwen knew that Qi Yan was going to take the next college entrance examination, and she also knew that Du Shaojie would not take the college entrance examination, so she said that.
Maybe it was a joke, maybe she was really worried about the other party, or maybe both.
Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head, without saying a word.
His relationship with Qi Yan was indeed very good, but it was still in the category of friends. Since he came to this era, he has been busy, but in fact he is still working hard for survival.
Taking the college entrance examination, going to college, and having a decent job are other people's lives. He can't steal other people's lives for his own selfishness. If possible, he hopes that Qi Yan can be admitted to the top universities in the country.
As for the future, who knows?
Anyway, he has his own life, and he firmly believes that he will not live worse than anyone else, or even better.
In the evening.
There are a few scattered banquets in the Chinese restaurant. It was very late when Du Shaojie got home after work. Xiaomei and Xiaoya have gone to bed, and Wang Yuxiu is still waiting for him to come back, sitting there and slumping.
"Mom, my time to get off work in the evening is not fixed, you don't have to wait for me, just go to bed early if you are sleepy. It happens that I still want to talk to you about something, let's go to the room to talk."
Du Shaojie had the idea of living in the dormitory some time ago because his two younger sisters are grown up and it is not appropriate to squeeze in the small compartment.
Therefore, he wanted to vacate the room he lived in and let Xiaomei and Xiaoya live in it.
If he said this directly, not only would Wang Yuxiu disagree, but his two sisters would probably not agree either.
So, he pulled his mother into his room, closed the door, and said:
"The unit has assigned me a single dormitory. The conditions are very good, with water, sewage, and a bathroom. In the future, I will usually live in the dormitory and come back on weekends. Otherwise, it will be too tiring to run around every day."
The reason was very sufficient. Wang Yuxiu felt sorry for her son and immediately nodded in agreement.
"If I don't live there often, it would be a waste to leave such an empty room. How about this, let Xiaomei and Xiaoya live in my room, and I live in the compartment. Anyway, I rarely live at home, so having a place to sleep is enough. I have to create a good learning environment for them."
After going around in circles, Du Shaojie finally mentioned the matter of exchanging rooms with Xiaomei and the others.
Wang Yuxiu thought about it and realized that it was true.
The compartment was small and cramped. There was no place to study except for sleeping. The key point was that her son was assigned a single dormitory. Sleeping there after getting off work late could save a lot of time.
"That's fine. You can help me with it when you are free. Xiaojie, you can handle this matter. You should try to go home more often when you are not busy. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it. I just said that I will sleep less at home in the future, but I didn't say that I will not come back often."
Du Shaojie agreed and clarified Wang Yuxiu's words.
Even if you don't sleep at home, you can come back often to visit. What's the matter with not being home all the time?
Wang Yuxiu went back to her room to sleep. Her son was the pillar of this family. She felt uneasy when she couldn't see him often.
Before going to bed, Du Shaojie counted his gains in the past few days. It was a bit embarrassing to say it out. He was busy all the time and only made a big plate of chicken, but the quantity was considerable.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Level 3 chef]
[Current work: Big Plate Chicken (×26)]
[Overall evaluation: Up and down]
[Bonus: Simulated chef skills competition duration (1560 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange points (156 points), simulated training duration (1560 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 360 points\373 points]
[Duration: 1570 hours\7976 hours]
For the next period of time, Du Shaojie basically stayed in the dormitory at night to prepare for the exam. He would definitely go home on weekends, and sometimes he would go home for a walk at noon.
The theoretical exam was no longer difficult for him. He just needed to strengthen his memory according to the scope of the exam.
The practical exam specified three dishes [Scallion-fried Sea Cucumber], [Garlic Vermicelli Steamed Scallops], and [Scrambled Egg Shrimp], all of which were seafood dishes.
The questions were biased, so it caused him a lot of trouble in his practice in reality. Fortunately,
there was a simulated training space, otherwise the little money he saved would not be enough to buy ingredients for practice.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the exam.
Compared with the last time, Du Shaojie had a lot more experience this time. His performance was too eye-catching last time, but in fact it was meaningless for this kind of chef level exam.
First was the theoretical exam, which he finished in one breath and then checked three times.
There was still a lot of time left, so he simply closed his eyes and re-organized the production process of the three dishes in his mind. He didn't get up and leave until 30 minutes before the end of the exam.
The practical exam was the next morning, and the location was still the same place as the previous time.
When he came to the exam room, Du Shaojie's eyes wandered around, and he finally saw Zhong Fuxiang's figure. In this exam, Zhong Fuxiang was the leader of the second-level chef evaluation group. It seems that the other party and himself are quite predestined.
"An Jing, now I will announce the exam room discipline."
Zhong Fuxiang first announced the exam room discipline and precautions. The exam time is two hours, and the work that is not completed within the time limit will be considered unqualified.
"The last part is the drawing of lots, but the rules of this drawing have changed. Now I will draw lots on behalf of the judging panel, and the dish you draw will be the practical test question for everyone."
This exam has changed a little. All candidates' practical exercises are to cook the same dish.
Everyone stared at Zhong Fuxiang, who quickly took out the sealed test questions from the test box. He then slowly opened it and said, "The topic of this exam is [Shrimp with Eggs]." It is
a very common Cantonese dish with simple ingredients and simple ingredients, but it is not easy to make it well.
"Okay, let's start the exam now. Please ask the first group of candidates to enter the corresponding positions according to the number plates."
At the beginning of the exam, Du Shaojie was assigned to the first group. His number plate is "12", which corresponds to stove No. 12.
After taking his place, he still checked first. Check whether the ingredients, ingredients, small ingredients, seasonings, etc. are complete, whether the quality of the ingredients meets the requirements, and whether the fire cooker is suitable. If
there are no problems with the above, he will start to process the ingredients.
Although the shrimp is frozen shrimp, he still picks the shrimp thread first according to the standard process. After processing, wash it again with water, then drain the water, and finally dry it carefully with a kitchen towel.
The next step is to marinate it. Add a little salt to adjust the base flavor, and then add an appropriate amount of pepper and cooking wine.
While marinating the shrimp, take three eggs and beat them into a bowl, add a few drops of white vinegar, a little salt and pepper, and beat them with chopsticks. It should be noted here that you cannot beat it for too long or too hard, and avoid letting in too much air and producing a large number of bubbles, which will affect the taste.
Du Shaojie beats the eggs gently, and then puts the beaten egg liquid aside for later use.
After the shrimp is marinated, pour it into the egg liquid and mix well.
