Full of wine and food, this meal was very happy, Oliver said: "How about it, tonight's meal is very good, today we drank some wine, everyone go back to sleep well, tomorrow will also rest for a day, shopping is a little tired, after a day of rest, I will take you to Milan's San Siro stadium to see, Italian football is very famous, of course, you have to go to the stadium to see it, men are very interested in football, will be very happy!"

Meng Wenjie smiled, "Yes, I really want to go, I used to see the Italian stadium on TV, and I went to see it on the spot, and I felt different!"

"Hehe, let's go back to the hotel to rest, Head Xia and I have already booked a hotel for everyone, the room is still a standard suite, two people in a room, go to the front desk of the hotel, assign it!"

"Okay!" Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie agreed, everyone left one after another, went to the hotel, Qu Lihua arrived at the hotel, went to the front desk to get the assigned room card, returned to the room, the roommate went to freshen up first, Qu Lihua looked at the night scene outside the window alone, and was very emotional, in different places, the night scene is also different.

I followed Captain Xia to see a lot of places, I was a little tired, so I would take a hot bath later, relax, and sleep beautifully.

She was lying on the bed and saw the message sent by Fang Yun.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in Milan, Reporter, how is your recent interview going?"

Fang Yun replied, "Dean Zhang sent me to interview foreigners in China, and foreign employees of some multinational companies, I found that there are many foreigners who come to work in China, some foreign students choose to work in multinational companies after graduation, and trade with Chinese companies, Dean Zhang thinks they are also very representative, let me interview them, I just interviewed a Western chef from Italy, I will send you the video of the interview." ”

"Italian chef?"

"Great, we are in Italy, today Oliver was in a restaurant in Milan and we were introduced to Italian food and wine, the meal was still very happy, let us know the Italian food culture and characteristics. ”

"Okay, take a look at my interview program, we have already produced it, you can show it to Head Xia after you finish reading!"

"Good!"

Qu Lihua ended the conversation with Fang Yun, and she clicked on the program video sent by Fang Yun.

In the show, Fang Yun held the microphone, she was already a very experienced reporter, beautiful and generous, fluent in speech, she smiled in front of the camera, and introduced an interview with an Italian chef Chris living in Shanghai.

"Hello Master Chris, we made an appointment to interview you earlier!"

"Okay, Miss Fang, you're very welcome, I'm really glad you came to interview me, I'm just an ordinary Italian chef living in Shanghai!"

"Hello, say hello to the audience in front of the TV!"

"Hello everyone, I am an Italian chef, my name is Chris, and I work as an Italian chef in a western restaurant in Shanghai!"

"How many years have you been in Shanghai, why did you want to be a chef in Shanghai, and not in Italy? I think the audience must be curious, right?"

Chris smiled, "My hometown is Milan, Italy, I was influenced by my father, I set a dream since I was a child, I want to travel the world when I grow up, my personality is that I don't want to stay in one place for a long time, when I was in school in Italy, I started a band with a few good friends in school, we played rock, learned the Beatles, pursued fashionable things when we were young, and like most young people, chased stars, fantasized that one day, I could become a star." ”

"Of course, it was just a dream when I was young, it was difficult to realize, and then a few friends did other jobs, and my grades were average, and I couldn't get into college, which disappointed my father, so he forced me to learn some trades, and he said that craftsmen will not starve to death no matter what country or place they are. ”

"He forced me to learn to be a chef, a car mechanic, and a barber, and in the end I still felt that I was more interested in cooking, making all kinds of delicious food, which could be eaten for myself, and it could also bring me a lot of happiness, so some other skills did not become a career, although many years later, I still looked out in my drawer for the vocational certificate of car mechanic that I had taken before, although I did not go to the car repair shop to be a car mechanic, but that certificate also proved that I worked hard for my future when I was young. ”

"I believe that every young person has a process of trial and error, when you have not found a career you like, there will be some trial and error, if you find that you don't like it, or you don't have enough enthusiasm to devote yourself to the profession, you should stop, according to your interests, to choose to adjust your future career direction, I am very lucky, I still found my career direction, that is, to be an Italian chef. ”

"I went to get a vocational certificate and then started my career, I went to a restaurant to apply for a job, at that time I was young, it was easy to get a job, just started working in some small restaurants, not you will be a chef as soon as you go, but as an apprentice and give a hand to the chef. ”

"If you want to be a qualified chef, the first hurdle you have to pass is knife work, which requires training, I know that many restaurants in China pay attention to the knife skills of chefs, I have seen many excellent Chinese chefs, their knife skills are really amazing, cutting radishes can be cut into thin slices, each slice is cut very thin, especially even, cut fast and good. ”

"In contrast, in Western food, the requirements for knife work are not as meticulous as those of Chinese chefs, such as cutting steaks, as long as you control the thickness and thinness, and do not require each steak to be cut the same size. ”

"After the knife worker passes, follow the chef to learn how to cook, the master will take it, you follow the side to watch, the master sometimes has to serve the dish is very busy, and it is impossible to teach everything, the most important thing is to see more by yourself, use your brain more, study more, if you have talent, and you are very interested in this line, after a period of training you will learn. ”

"After learning, you have to practice more, they all say ten minutes on stage, ten years off the stage, if you want to succeed in an industry, you need perseverance, and being a chef is the same, it takes a lot of time and energy, and you have to have comprehension, if you are not smart, maybe you can't learn it no matter how much time you learn. ”

"I have friends to travel to China, they come to our store to talk about interesting things about going to China, their stories firmly attracted me, I began to be interested in this mysterious oriental country, I found relevant books to start research, and went to learn Chinese class, learned Chinese, it was much more convenient, solved communication, some friends went to China because they could not speak Chinese, made some jokes, they came back to tell me, I laughed so much that my stomach hurt, so I learned their lessons and learned Chinese in advance. ”
