Chapter 9: Chefs and Culinary Arts

Hung up the phone, Kim Taeyeon drove home helplessly, what is this called!

She was kind enough to help others, but the person she helped lied to her and made her angry! The most important thing is that she is now in a dilemma. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She is a kind-hearted person, and she definitely can't watch Li Mingqiu live on the streets, but she is a weak woman after all, and she is still a weak woman who is a star.

It's a headache to think about, although the method Li Yanqiu said is not bad, but after all, Li Mingqiu is in South Korea, and if something happens to him, Kim Taeyeon will definitely not feel good in his heart.

Driving with a headache, Kim Taeyeon really wanted to cry without tears, there was no way, let's go home first and see what Li Mingqiu has planned.

Not to mention Kim Taeyeon's side, Lee Myung-choo is really a little restless at home.

It's a pretty woman's home! This house is a treasure hunt map for a grown male, and there may be some clothes in one room that will make his blood flutter.

But before leaving, Kim Taeyeon seriously warned him not to rummage through things, if he wasn't afraid of that martial arts stunt, Lee Myung-choo might really do something, anyway, Kim Taeyeon couldn't see him when he wasn't at home.

"Gollum!"

Swallowing hard, Li Mingqiu tried not to look at the direction of the spiral staircase, he knew that as long as he went up to the second floor, he would be able to approach the location of the "treasure".

"No! I must hold on! People have helped me so much, how can I still have that kind of thought! Sober up! Li Mingqiu!"

The above is Li Mingqiu's self-talk, but it's not easy, even a heartless person like him can still remember that Kim Taeyeon helped him a lot, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But it's the sentence he said to himself, how does it feel so middle two...

Li Mingqiu's heart is now like being scratched by a cat, that tangled! I want to do it but I can't do it!

"Goo-goo-goo... ”

But just when Li Mingqiu was thinking nonsense, a sound like a drum sounded, and he rubbed his stomach with a wry smile.

That voice came from his stomach, and he can't blame him, after coming to South Korea, he patronized and avoided those bodyguards, and he didn't have a serious foodie for a meal, and now it's normal for his stomach to start protesting!

Speaking of which, the days when he ran away from his relatives were also embarrassing for him, why?

As mentioned earlier, Li Mingqiu's wish is to become a chef, although it is a wish, it does not mean that he can't cook!

On the contrary, his cooking skills are still very good, after all, it is the result of more than ten years of study.

Speaking of which, we have to explain where Li Yanqiu's cooking skills came from.

Li Mingqiu did not go to college, although the results of the college entrance examination were not ideal, but with his family background, it was not too easy for Li's father to stuff him into college.

It's a pity that Li Mingqiu doesn't have the heart to study, and he doesn't have that talent, Father Li also knows this, even if he is sent to college, it is a waste of time.

originally wanted to send him to the army for exercise, but there was such a child at home, not to mention that Li's mother was unwilling, and even Li's father was a little reluctant.

There was no way, Father Li had to ask Li Mingqiu what he thought, Li Mingqiu was just 17 years old at that time, how could he have any plans for his future life?

It just so happened that he was talking about this at dinner that day, and to be honest, he was tired of eating the food cooked by the chefs in his house.

With a roll of his eyes, he said to Father Li: "Dad, I want to learn how to cook! I will cook for you in the future!"

This is said at a high level, which parent doesn't like their children's filial piety? Mother Li is about to laugh out of flowers.

However, Li's father thought more, the only son in the family, his family business will fall to Li Mingqiu sooner or later, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield, if Li Mingqiu has no ability, sooner or later there will be no bones left in this family business.

So after Li Mingqiu didn't plan to go to school, he had the idea of letting Li Mingqiu enter the company to exercise in advance.

However, Li Mingqiu's age is too young, not even 18 years old, and Li's father doesn't want his son to enter this big dye vat so early, and he also wants him to play for two more years.

And it just so happened that Li Mingqiu now proposed to learn to learn cooking, and listening to his meaning was even more out of filial piety, Li's father agreed to this request that he had always regretted after thinking about it for a while.

Li Mingqiu wants to learn to cook, of course Father Li will not find him a master casually, but asks someone to investigate the information of famous chefs, and screen out several top chefs for him to choose by himself.

However, at that time, Li Mingqiu was just on a whim, so he casually pointed to a photo of a person, and the person he pointed to casually was ---Paul Bocuse.

Paul Bocuse may not be familiar to everyone, but in the field of chefs, this person is considered a king.

Born in Lyon, France, he studied at several French culinary training schools, is the initiator of the Bocuse d'Affair and is recognized as a culinary master in today's French Western cuisine industry, and has been awarded the "National Medal of Honor" by the French national government.

Even our beloved Xi Da had dinner in Lyon in 2014 with the delicacies of this man named Bocuse.

You may not have much of an idea of this, but Michelin-starred restaurants know it? Foodies must be very familiar with it.

Michelin-starred restaurants are actually a selection criterion, and there are three levels in total: one star is a restaurant worth visiting, two stars is a restaurant worth a detour, and three stars is a restaurant worth a special ride.

And this one, called Bocuse, has received the highest honor of three Michelin stars for 40 consecutive years since 1965.

40 years! What kind of concept is this? Scared to death!

However, this kind of character does not mean that he can apprentice to a teacher, and Li's father also relied on a lot of relationships to get this celebrity chef to give Li Mingqiu a chance to take the exam.

For a figure of Bocuse's level, money or anything can't impress him anymore, and there is no shortage of honorary people.

If it weren't for the face of his old friend, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Li Mingqiu at all, let alone test him.

But Li Mingqiu did not disappoint, although this product has no talent in learning, but it can be said that he is talented in cooking.

Not to mention passing the test with ease, even Bocuse himself praised him for being a natural chef.

At the beginning, Li Mingqiu also had a playful attitude towards cooking, but over time he gradually began to like the feeling of cooking.

Since he liked it, he studied harder and harder, and in just two years, Bocuse announced that he had become a teacher.

However, being a teacher does not mean that Li Mingqiu already has cooking skills comparable to Bocuse, it can only be said that Bocuses has nothing to teach him.

Cooking is not just about making delicious meals, but more importantly, it is an imaginative profession, and Bocuse can't help him at all, he can only rely on himself.

But even so, Li Mingqiu's cooking skills are not comparable to ordinary chefs.

After leaving Bocuse, Li Mingqiu met another three-Michelin-starred chef by chance, this person is the "God of Hell's Kitchen" Gordon Ramsay.

We won't go into detail about this man, just know that he is no less than Bocuse's chef.

Gordon Ramsay also admires Li Mingqiu, but after all, he is Bocuse's apprentice, so he doesn't have much to teach him.

However, Li Mingqiu was crazy about cooking at that time, don't you teach me? Yes, I will always stick to you!

For people like Li Mingqiu, who are like dog skin plasters, Gordon Ramsay has no choice, he can't beat it, and he can't go away.

In the end, there was no choice but to tell Li Yanqiu that it was not okay to accept him as an apprentice, but it was no problem to learn from each other.

Li Mingqiu was of course very happy after hearing this, sticking to the back of Gordon Ramsay's ass all day long, making others think that the two of them were a pair of good friends.

However, Li Mingqiu's talent really shocked him, and he didn't teach him well, so he learned his skills nine times out of ten, and decided to take Li Mingqiu seriously immediately.

After another year of mixing with Gordon Ramsay, Li Mingqiu had nothing to learn, after all, imagination was not taught.

So I had the idea of leaving, but after getting along with Li Mingqiu for a year, Gordon Ramsay was a little reluctant to let him go... Ahem, the orientation of the two of them is very normal, but they just appreciate Li Mingqiu very much.

And that year was 2007 (actually 09, but the plot needs it, and the orange has been slightly changed.) Singapore Airlines hired Gordon Ramsay as an advisor to the International Culinary Advisory Group, which was going to hire eight consultants, and Gordon Ramsay was going to recommend Lee for the position, because he felt that Lee was more than capable of taking on the position.

However, Li Mingqiu refused, thinking that his current cooking skills were not yet at home, so he planned to continue studying.

I have to say that at that time, he fell into a dead end, and breaking through this matter is not something that can be solved by learning alone.

Although Gordon Ramsay was very sorry that Li Mingqiu rejected him, he didn't say anything, just blessed this person who was a friend to him.

Then Li Mingqiu returned to China, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to cook a big meal for Li's father and mother!

While Li's father and mother were satisfied with his food, they also felt his filial piety, and Li's father didn't notice Li Mingqiu's idea of becoming a chef at that time, but simply thought that he liked cooking.

After that, Li's father put forward the idea of letting Li Mingqiu enter the company, but Li Mingqiu rejected Li's father hesitantly, carefully saying that he still wanted to play for two more years.

And Father Li didn't think much about it, after all, his son had just come from abroad, and it was inevitable that he would be a little overdone after staying outside for three years, and it would be good to give him a period of time to regain his heart.

Moreover, he was only 20 years old at that time, and Li's father felt that he was not very mature in mind, so he agreed to his request.

Relieved, Li Mingqiu finally had time to continue studying his cooking skills, but then he discovered a problem.

That is, he is not very good at cooking Chinese food!

Bocuse and Gordon Ramsay are both big names in the Western food world, of course it is impossible to teach him how to make Chinese food, let alone they can't...

Li Mingqiu can't accept the fact that he can't cook Chinese food, he is an authentic Chinese!

So he then made a decision that left everyone jaw-dropping!

That is... This product went to New Oriental to learn stir-frying!!

What kind of mentality is a chef running away to be a classmate with an apprentice!
