CH.115 Everton

What is the Everton Food Training Institute used for, Zheng Ke has no concept at all.

Even, when Absolon said that this institution was famous, Zheng Ke's brain did not know that it existed.

If it weren't for Luo Meng standing in front of him, Zheng Ke would probably look up the relevant information of this institution on the Internet, but now, Zheng Ke was embarrassed and took out his mobile phone in front of Luo Meng.

"The young chef didn't know about Everton, and it was understandable that Everton didn't have a branch office in France. As he spoke, Luo Meng took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Zheng Ke, "This is a business card, if we have free time, we can keep in touch often." ”

Absolon looked at Romon with some surprise in his heart.

It is certainly unusual for anyone with a long brain to have the person in charge of a well-known gastronomic training institution in Europe take the initiative to submit a business card.

"Oh, yes, and everybody. Seeing Zheng Ke staring at the business card, Luo Meng handed the business card to the others present, "Miss Duran, please accept the business card...... Miss Agnelle did well in qualifying, and this little chef, I watched your performance as well...... You're Miss Duran's brother, right, welcome to the training. ”

Absolon pinched Romon's business card and nearly smashed it in his face.

When Luo Meng took the business card, he deliberately said "participate in training", which was really annoying.

Zheng Ke glanced at the content on the business card, in addition to the name of this institution, there was also Luo Meng's name and mobile phone number.

"Everton is so famous, why didn't it set up a branch in France?

"Well, it's a long story. If you have time, I'll sit down and speak slowly. Romon said, pointing to the round table on the side.

"No problem, I'm going to be here today, nothing else. Zheng Ke said.

"That's right...... But I still hope to have a dish of yours when I go back. Romon said.

"And me!" Catherine immediately raised her hand.

"That...... I'm going to have one too. Agnel said with a squirming voice.

"Senior, I want to eat too. Kohei bared his teeth and said with a smile.

Zheng Ke: "......"

Hey, you guys, you probably know how to cook, right?

After the six people gathered around the table, Luo Meng also began to explain Zheng Ke's problem.

"Before answering your doubts, let me explain what kind of organization Everton Gastronomy Training Institute is. To put it simply, Everton is a chef training institution. The people we serve are mainly chefs who want to hit star restaurants or three-star restaurants. The training is mainly from cooking, restaurant management, design and planning. We hire chefs, gourmets, designers, and winemakers from world-class restaurants to train our chefs. By the way, Mr. Eddie is one of the best lecturers in our institution and one of the pillars of the Italian branch.

"After so many years of operation, Everton has also gained some fame in the European culinary world. Now it is the largest chef training institution in Europe, and every year there are one or two hundred people who participate in different courses, and the teachers will also choose each other's courses, and there will be a certain amount of discounts. ”

Seeing that Romon was quite interested in promoting the school's curriculum, the others were also in the dark.

"However, there are only one or two hundred people a year, and the number is not too small. Zheng Ke asked curiously.

Absolon smiled bitterly, "It's already quite a lot. Think about it, how many restaurants have the opportunity to be promoted to the star every year, and the tuition should not be low, right?"

"Yes, depending on the foundation and needs, the fees will be slightly different depending on the different programs you choose, and of course there will be differences in the corresponding learning time. Romon explained.

"How long can I learn?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Two years, of course, there are short, almost two months. However, more than 2 months is a 2-star impact 3-star intensive training, and ordinary people do not have this need. Romon explained.

"What about the tuition?" Zheng Ke asked.

After Luo Meng's narration, Zheng Ke also became a little interested in this training institution.

"Some are cheaper, some are slightly more expensive, and usually, they are concentrated in the 500,000 US dollar. Romon said.

"Five...... 500,000 dollars?" Zheng Ke said in a lost voice.

This money is not something that just one person can afford.

"No way, although the tuition fee is high, we invite foodies like Eddie, or chefs of top restaurants. Sometimes, no matter how much money is given, they may not be willing to teach, which requires us to mobilize and do the work. This money also includes follow-up work, which costs money. Aside from the normal expenses and paying for the venue and teachers, our institution doesn't make much money. ”

Hearing Luo Meng say this, Zheng Ke nodded. If it is spread out like this, it is really not a lot of money. After all, it's really hard to hire a three-star chef to teach, and it's not something that can be hired with money.

"Then why didn't Everton set up a branch in France? It can't really be related to Lanji, right?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is a male and a female.

Although Lanji does not operate chef training, as a leader in Western culinary schools, Everton wants to set up a branch in France, and it must get permission from Lanji.

"The main reason...... At first, there was indeed a reason for this, Lan Ji was afraid that we would affect their students. But in recent years, Lanji has not hindered us anymore, but it still faces some difficulties. Everton explained.

In recent years?

"Could it be related to the loss of chefs, which has caused the overall level of chefs in Paris to decline?" Zheng Ke muttered to himself.

He was already aware of this when he came to Paris in March last year.

"You know? It does have something to do with it. The decline in the level of Parisian chefs, both for ordinary diners and for tourists, is a serious matter. As the most famous school in France, Lanji has an obligation to stop the gaffe from deteriorating. So, it gave us the green light. ”

"I see. Zheng Ke then understood the general idea of the matter, "Mr. Romon came to Paris for this matter?"

"Secret. Luo Meng squeezed his eyes at Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke suddenly felt uncomfortable.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Zheng Ke, and since Luo Meng is unwilling to say it, there is no need for him to continue asking.

"In this case, I'm going to cook with you, and it's still the same as before, making Chinese food. Zheng Ke said with a smile.

"Eh, why don't you cook Western food?" asked Romon curiously.

"Western food is better to wait until the qualifying session is over, right? I'm still looking for the feeling of the race. Zheng Ke said with a smile.
