Chapter 92 Level 3 Chef Exam
On the 15th.
Du Shaojie got up early. He slept well last night and was full of energy.
Wang Yuxiu made breakfast, which included rice porridge, boiled eggs, stir-fried minced meat with mustard greens, and two snow-white steamed buns.
Du Shaojie could understand his mother's expectation, but he said nothing. No matter how many promises, it would be better to take the Level 3 Chef Certificate home, which would definitely make her happy.
"Mom, I'm leaving. Xiaomei, Xiaoya, you two should go to school early, don't be late."
After breakfast, Du Shaojie put on his schoolbag and pushed his bicycle to go out.
"Xiaojie, don't panic during the exam, you must stay calm."
"Brother, I wish you a perfect score."
"Brother, you will definitely pass the exam."
Wang Yuxiu reminded her son, and Xiaomei and Xiaoya gave their blessings respectively.
Du Shaojie waved his hand, and after going out, he rode his bicycle straight to the cooking school.
Today's exam will be held here. After all, there is a practical part, and there are no such conditions in other places.
When he arrived at the examination center, Du Shaojie found that there were still many candidates. After all, the examination had been suspended for two years, and the number of candidates accumulated was not small. Among them, there were 106 candidates who took the third-level chef examination.
The morning was a theoretical examination, which was held directly in the school auditorium.
The invigilator was not very strict, but almost no one cheated. As long as you can get more than 60 points in the theoretical examination, you will pass, and as long as you pass, it will not affect the final score.
The key is the practical operation in the afternoon. The examination for the chef level certificate is not an examination for scholars. In the end, it depends on the skills.
After the test paper was handed down, Du Shaojie read it through first, and couldn't help but smile on his face. He knew all these questions, and his hard work in the past period of time was very effective.
For example, how many kinds of knife skills are there? How to identify the freshness of meat? What ingredients are needed for [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork]?
This kind of question is a free point question.
The theory test is the basic knowledge that a third-level chef must master. There is no knowledge point beyond the syllabus, and it does not exceed the level range. There will be no questions for second-level chefs in the third-level chef examination.
So, he quickly wrote down the answer sheet, basically in one go.
After answering the questions, he checked them three times, handed in the paper 30 minutes in advance and left.
He felt that his answers would at least get around 90 points, and he didn't care whether he could get 100 points. Because theoretically, there is no difference between getting 100 points and getting 60 points.
After leaving the examination room, he walked towards the teaching point of the cooking school, which can be understood as a super kitchen.
"Xiao Du, this way!"
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him.
Turning his head, he saw Liao Yongxin standing not far away and waving at him.
He took a few quick steps, walked up to the other party and asked, "Master Liao, why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? To tell you the truth, I am a member of the evaluation team today. I don't greet the examiner when I see him?"
Liao Yongxin laughed and said something shocking.
Du Shaojie was stunned. He had never thought of this possibility. By the way, it seems that even though he has known Master Liao for so long, he still doesn't know the other party's chef level.
Because Liao Yongxin always likes to play badly, people will subconsciously neglect this issue.
"Master Liao, are you really the judge for this exam? That's great, can you guarantee that I pass?"
Liao Yongxin always likes to joke, and Du Shaojie is a little skeptical.
However, if the other party is really a member of the review group, it will be very beneficial to him.
"What are you thinking? You and I are from the same unit, why would they let me grade you? Do you think no one will read the form you filled out? The practical operation in the afternoon is divided into four groups, and you are not in my group."
Liao Yongxin looked at Du Shaojie with a smile, and then broke his fantasy with one sentence.
People from the same unit and close relatives need to avoid it. Anyway, the review group is divided into several groups, which will not affect the review or the candidates.
"Hehe, I just said that. We make a living by our own ability, so we don't have to do that."
Du Shaojie didn't care. He was joking.
"You kid! How did you do in the theory test? No problem?"
Liao Yongxin muttered, and then changed the subject.
"It's okay, about 90 points, anyway, I can definitely pass."
Speaking of this, Du Shaojie is absolutely confident.
At this time, someone came over and called Liao Yongxin to a meeting. The members of the review team had to meet, and some disciplines and precautions had to be announced.
Liao Yongxin didn't say anything more, waved at Du Shaojie, and followed the man away.
Du Shaojie went to the practical examination room to take a look, then left the cooking school and rode his bike to Xijiang Hotel. It was close to the hotel, but far from home.
He went to the hotel to have lunch, and then went to the dormitory to rest for a while.
"Xiao Du, how did you do in the morning?"
Everyone in the hotel knew that Du Shaojie had an exam today, and Dong Jun asked with a smile when he saw him.
"It's a theory test in the morning, and it's no problem to pass. The key is in the afternoon, because the afternoon is for practical operation."
Du Shaojie responded, then climbed onto the upper bunk and lay down.
"Just like us back then, I only scored 65 points in theoretical knowledge, but I performed well in practical operation, and finally successfully obtained the third-level chef certificate."
Dong Jun, as a person who had experienced it, talked about the tricks of the exam, and seemed quite proud.
Du Shaojie finally understood why this guy was always scolded. He actually scored so few points in theoretical knowledge. It seems that his brain is not very good, or he is too lazy.
He knew that Dong Jun was a third-level chef. There are so many people with third-level chef certificates in big hotels, but many people still can't cook?
The third-level chef certificate only means that you have the lowest level of chef qualifications, and nothing else.
Afterwards, Du Shaojie lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest, which was actually entering a simulated training scene. It took five hours to cook all the three dishes in the scope of the exam.
The purpose of sharpening the knife before the battle is to keep the "hands hot".
[Duration: 3 hours\750 hours]
There are still 3 hours left, but Du Shaojie doesn't need it before the exam.
After a short rest, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, then rode his bicycle straight to the examination room.
"Du Shaojie, group one, come and draw lots."
Du Shaojie was assigned to group one. When he drew lots
, he saw the judges of his group and couldn't help but twitch his mouth several times. It was not until then that he realized what Liao Yongxin meant when he said that there would be a surprise during the exam. When Zhong Fuxiang appeared in a group of judges, what else did he not understand?
"What a bad taste."
Du Shaojie felt that Liao Yongxin was like a child. Could it be that such a small thing could scare him?
In fact, he was still quite happy in his heart. He
didn't expect Master Zhong to show mercy, but felt that with him around, the other judges would at least not deliberately give him a low score.
Zhong Fuxiang looked at Du Shaojie expressionlessly until the other party drew the test questions, then he reached out to take it and opened it.
"Du Shaojie, the test topic is [Stir-fried Lamb with Scallions]. You can go down and prepare. When your name is called, go to stove number eight."
I don't know whether to say Du Shaojie's luck is good or bad. He didn't draw the [Chicken Slices with Lotus Root] that he prepared carefully, but he drew the dish [Stir-fried Lamb with Scallions].
The super kitchen is a huge hall with two rows of stoves facing each other. Behind the stoves are the counters and water tables. There is enough distance between them to facilitate teaching and practical operation.
After all the candidates in group one have drawn the test topic, the stoves will be assigned immediately.
Next is group two. They will take the test at the same time as group one. Group
three and group four will have to wait until the first two groups have finished the test before they can start the test, so they were taken out to avoid affecting the performance of the candidates.
All three dishes have been drawn. The time limit for the test is 120 minutes. The test is considered to be over when the dishes are out of the pot and served on the plate. If the preparation of the dishes is not completed within the time limit, it is considered a failure and the score will not be counted.
"Attention, candidates, take your positions. Get ready, start the timer!"
The horn sounded, and Du Shaojie walked to position number 8.
Following the order, he first began to check the ingredients. Are the ingredients consistent with the dishes? Is the quantity of ingredients sufficient? Are the ingredients fresh? Then
he began to count the ingredients and small ingredients, as well as the various seasonings needed.
After all of the above were OK, the next step was to wash the mutton and set it aside for later use. After trying the kitchen knife, the sharpness and weight were both suitable, so Du Shaojie began to cut the meat.
The mutton was sliced with a top knife, and the thickness was about 1.2 mm.
After the meat slices were cut, he began to prepare the ingredients and small ingredients. As the name suggests, the ingredients for stir-fried mutton with green onions are green onions, and small ingredients include green onions, ginger, and garlic. The seasonings need to be vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil.
Du Shaojie was busy working attentively, and Zhong Fuxiang and several other judges in a group were patrolling back and forth in different areas.
This is also part of the exam, which requires the examinee to examine the identification of ingredients, ingredient processing, knife skills, side dishes, etc.
"So fast?"
Zhong Fuxiang walked behind Du Shaojie and found that he had almost finished his preparations.
He was the head of the judging group of Group 1 and the general patrol. He had not been staring at Du Shaojie alone before. When he came over and found this situation, he asked the judge in charge of this area in a low voice.
"Yes, the young man has a solid basic skill and is very nimble."
The regional judge also responded in a low voice, fearing that it would affect the performance of the candidates.
Zhong Fuxiang nodded with satisfaction, and stopped talking, continuing to patrol back and forth in the area of Group 1.
"Huhu."
Du Shaojie was busy and finally did all the preparations.
He counted the ingredients, side dishes and small ingredients again, and then put all these things on the dining cart and pushed them to the side of the stove.
All kinds of seasonings were ready on the stove. Du Shaojie reconfirmed and started to heat the pot.
The other candidates were not as fast as him. They were more nervous than each other. Who could be as relaxed as him? It is said that those who are difficult will not know, and those who know will not find it difficult.
"Be busy with your own things, don't look around."
Some judges found that many candidates were looking back because of Du Shaojie's super fast speed.
This is not a good sign. If others disrupt your operating rhythm, how can you get a good score? So the judges used their power and gave a timely reminder.
The candidates gradually suppressed their inner restlessness and re-entered the exam.
