CH.93 Bad Cooperation
Zheng Ke rubbed his cheeks, "I have one more thing to ask you." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I remember that Senior Ryuichi Shiraishi said that the graduation exam is a team exam. So, I want to know what the rules are?"
"Oh, you don't know yet. Hiramatsudo covered his mouth with a look of surprise on his face.
Originally, the image of Hiramatsudo was like a woman, but when I looked at it this way, it was even more charming.
This guy, how nice it would be if it were a woman......
"Originally, there were 50 people in the school, but three of them signed contracts with other restaurants in advance, so there were only 47 people left. These 47 people are divided into 16 groups, of which there are 3 people in 15 groups and 2 people in 1 group. This unlucky group is me and Sumire Tanabashi. However, with you now, our group has reached full capacity.
"Each group will be required to prepare a full set of Western dishes in two hours, including starters, soups, side dishes, main courses, salads and desserts, and 10 chefs from top restaurants from all over the world will taste their favorite dishes.
"If the chef is satisfied with a particular group's dishes or thinks there is a need for further communication, he will leave an invitation. On the invitation, he will leave a certain dish of his choice. When the time comes, the student who made the dish will take the invitation and go to the chef's restaurant for an interview. Of course, there will also be invitations from the chef in person. It's just that this situation is relatively rare. ”
This type of competition is unheard of by Zheng Ke.
"Why bother? Cook one or several dishes per person, don't you?"
"It's not that simple. Hiramatsudo waved his hand, "Some restaurants do only need a chef, so as long as the cooking skills are high." But some restaurants are short of chefs. They come here more often than not, to select the best people and then train them to become chefs. ”
If it's a chef, it's really demanding. The operation of the whole kitchen, the design of the menu, the control of costs, and the communication with the outside world, etc. Some chefs in their twenties have a hard time being able to become a chef, but they can show their potential to become a chef from their performance when working with others, and even from the big picture.
As long as it is a collaborative project, there will definitely be a core. Therefore, the graduation exam seems to be divided into 16 groups, but in fact, it is for the team members to automatically coordinate 16 reserve chefs, which is the purpose of Shiraishi Ryuichi.
According to Hiramatsudo, for the next five days, the school was in a state of suspension to prepare for the sixth day of the big exam. However, all laboratories are open to the public, and food is buried. He and Pengqiao Sumire agreed to leave around 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, so he deliberately reminded Zheng Ke to get up early.
After Hiramatsudo left the room, Zheng Ke quickly extinguished the light.
Early the next morning, Zheng Ke followed Sumire Pengqiao and Ping Matsudo to the school. That's when he had the opportunity to take a rough look at the whole school.
The area of this school is not large, with only two buildings. One is a five-story school building, and the other is a gymnasium, which can be used as an activity venue for playing basketball in normal times, and when it is critical. Graduation exams are also held at this place.
The lab room rented by Sumire Tanabashi and Hiramatsudo is on the third floor of the school building, and it is fully equipped and the refrigerator is full of ingredients.
After the two changed into chef clothes, they entered the practice room.
Sumire Tanabashi is no different from usual, but Hiramatsuto's hair is tied up with a rope and looks neat.
Hiramatsudo takes out the snails, washes them, takes them out, puts them in a hot pan with olive oil, stir-fries until fragrant, and then pours them into a plate. Then it is boiled with minced garlic, chopped shallots, peppercorns and other condiments in a small amount of water.
Although Hiramatsudo hadn't made this dish yet, Zheng Ke could still see that he was making the starter.
In between boiling the snails, Hiramatsudo started another stove, melted the cream in a hot pan, added flour and bay leaves, and began to stir-fry the flour.
At this time, the pot put into the snail was already boiling, and Zheng Ke said in a lost voice: "Another snail on the fire ......"
Before she finished speaking, Sumire Tanabashi picked up the boiling pot and poured it into the snail cup. At the same time, Hiramatsudo turns the heat down and boils the flour with whipped cream. Then he took out the spice cream that had been frozen into pieces from the refrigerator, quickly cut it into slices, put it on the snail cup, and put the snail cup in the oven. When he returned, he casually took a few dried scallops from the worktop and put them into a pot with a lid on the pan of the panada.
Zheng Ke's eyes widened, this should be the first time he has seen this kind of practice. The six-course meal for three people is not two dishes for each person, but the three people who cook the dish must cooperate with each other to complete the six dishes together.
In this mode, the difficulty has reached the hell level.
First of all, the three of them need to be very familiar with each other's cooking, that is, each of them needs to have a reasonable degree of knowledge of the six recipes.
Secondly, the three of them have high requirements for time control, for example, just now Hiramatsudo put scallops in the pot, but because it was Sumire Tanabashi's cooking, he had to grasp the timing of the scallops accurately, otherwise it would affect the taste of the food.
Finally, the cooperating personnel should be particularly knowledgeable about each other's habits. From the way you cook to the way you place your utensils, if you're not careful, you might get in the way of others.
Ryuichi Shiraishi is really a person who likes to make trouble. From residential study to field practice, Zheng Ke has always been calculated by Bai Shilong.
Alas, there is a taste of carelessness in making friends.
Just when Zheng Ke was thinking wildly, a crisp sound suddenly woke him up. He looked in astonishment as he sat down on the ground and threw aside the plate in his hand. As for the snail cup, which had just been taken out of the oven, it was shattered.
Sumire Tanabashi is also embarrassed, although she didn't fall down, but there is a large stain on the chest of her chef's uniform.
Sure enough, as Zheng Ke thought, when the two of them were cooperating, there was a mistake. This is still the case of only two people, and if you add yourself who doesn't know anything about this model, that kind of picture ......
Zheng Ke couldn't imagine it.
"Are you alright?" Hiramatsudo grinned, his features contorted with pain.
Sumire Tanabashi wiped the stains off her body with kitchen paper and pulled Hiramatsu up, "It's okay. Then he looked back at Zheng Ke, "Do you see it? This is our game, as long as there is a slight mistake, it is likely to be labeled as 'waste' by those chefs." Zheng Ke, your individual level is very good, but can you do well in this kind of group cooking?"
Although Zheng Ke wanted to say that there was no problem, the reality was that this involved a tacit understanding between the three people. He admits that he is not up to the mark now.
