On the third day of arriving in Wakkanai, Zheng Ke had just finished washing up when he heard the announcement from the horn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ladies and gentlemen, please gather in the hall within ten minutes, and the rules for the fifth exam will now be announced. ”

Zheng Ke and Isshiki hurriedly walked out of the bedroom, and saw that Kuga Teru and Ruishan Zhizu also hurriedly walked over. Looking further back, there is no shortage of acquaintances in the crowd.

This wave of people poured into the hall in an orderly manner, but Zheng Ke found that the dining table in the hall was already full of people, and white suitcases were placed on the table. What's more, just looking at the number of people, there are almost more than 100 people.

They must have stayed here two days ago? And, judging by their appearances, the youngest ones were in their thirties, and the older ones were even sixty or seventy years old.

These should be chefs who have been working for a long time, so Zheng Ke can't figure out why they are here.

The first-year students stood in the open space of the hall, looking around with some confusion. In the hall, there was a slight chatter.

"Ahem......" There was a light cough, and Dojima Silver walked to the front desk with the microphone, "Everyone, good morning." It's a pleasure for you all to take the fifth exam in the promotion exam. Being able to come this far shows that you have superior strength. When I left the Far Moon Academy, there were about one hundred and ninety people, and now...... The latest list I got was only one hundred and twenty-seven. Of course, this is not the end, and I hope to see you all on Rebun Island. Therefore, please be sure to take this exam seriously. ”

"For the fifth exam, we have been preparing for a long time, and we have specially invited 127 chefs from 127 restaurants across the country. Over the next four days, you will learn how to cook with one of them. At 10 a.m. on the fifth day, your teacher will give you a problem and make a dish to be judged by your teacher. If you get permission from your mentor, then you will be qualified to go to Rebun Island, and the loser, I'm sorry, all I can say is that you're eliminated. ”

It was also surprising that it was not evaluated by the teachers of the academy.

After listening to Dojima's words, many students were thinking about the chances of passing the exam. In the end, I found that the difficulty of this exam was really not small.

A chef, if a certain skill can be taken out to teach the students of Yuanyue Academy, it means that this skill itself is his killer weapon, and it is the craft they rely on to survive.

If you want to learn these skills in just four days and get recognized by the chefs, it's not something you can do casually.

At the same time, this exam also confirmed Zheng Ke's previous conjecture, and no preparation can prevent the questions of the promotion exam.

"So, before you come, these chefs have drawn lots to decide which students they need to bring. Let's ask the chefs to find their students according to the results of the lottery. ”

As soon as Dojima Yin's voice fell, an old man took the lead in standing up, took the note in his hand, and read a sentence, "Zheng Ke." ”

"Me?" Zheng Ke didn't expect that the first person was himself, so he walked out of the crowd in surprise, and then looked at the old man in front of him.

This is an old man in his sixties, not tall, only about 1.6 meters, with deep sunken eye sockets, a thin figure, wearing a Japanese chef's hat, and a solemn face. Hearing the footsteps, the old man opened his eyes and glanced at Zheng Ke, although his eyes were not big, he could see that his spirit was not bad.

"Hello grandpa. Zheng Ke bowed deeply.

The old man nodded, "Come with me." After saying that, he turned and left first.

Zheng Ke was also at a loss, the other students were still waiting for the results, would it not affect him if he left rashly alone? But if he didn't keep up, this old man ...... Hey, this old man is really fast, and he runs away without paying attention.

Alas, forget it, if the influence is not good, the impact is not good? Who let this old man be his teacher for the next four days?

Thinking of this, Zheng Ke followed the old man closely, and walked into a kitchen under the surprised eyes of others.

Due to the preparation of exams, the hotel also made a lot of preparations in advance, such as using many vacant rooms. Some rooms are larger and can fit more than a dozen tables, while others are smaller and can only fit one or two tables.

The room where the old man led Zheng Ke into was a small room.

When he opened the room, a strong fishy smell came to his face, and Zheng Ke almost fainted. When he saw the fish bones and fish heads piled up in the garbage can, he immediately understood that the smell came from here.

"Do you have kitchen knives?" asked the old man.

"Yes, yes!" Zheng Ke hurriedly put his dinner knife on the table.

This set of knives was won by him from Shiho Tanimoto. Good quality, but also typical Western-style knives, including chef's knives, boning knives, paring knives, slicing knives, serrated knives, and sharpening sticks.

The old man glanced at Zheng Ke's knife and said, "Your knife is not good." ”

"Hey, grandpa, if this set of knives is put on the market, it is very expensive. Zheng Ke was surprised.

"It's useless, because these knives are rarely used in my cooking. The old man said indifferently.

Rarely can it be used?

Zheng Ke frowned and glanced at his kitchen knife, puzzled, is there still a few dishes that these kitchen knives can't solve.

It wasn't until the old man took out his kitchen knife that Zheng Ke's doubts were solved.

The old man took out a few kitchen knives, then looked at them and pondered for a moment, then put two of them back in the knife box until he took out one of them.

This knife is narrow and long, with a sharp and thin edge, a narrow blade amplitude, and a gentle curve like a willow leaf from the tip of the blade (the end of the blade) to the tip of the blade.

Willow blade is the name of this knife. And this knife also has a relatively simple function, which is used to cut sashimi and vegetables.

"Willow Blade, do you have one?" asked the old man.

Zheng Ke shook his head, Zheng Ke rarely cooks Japanese food, and even less sashimi, so there is no such more dedicated kitchen knife.

"Will you do sashimi?" the old man asked.

Zheng Ke first shook his head, and then nodded violently, "Yes, but only one point." ”

"Do you cut sashimi?"

Zheng Ke nodded again and again, this should be the basic skill of a chef, so he will still do it.

"Then cut some slices of raw fish and show me. The old man said as he pulled out a snapper from the box and threw it to Zheng Ke.

"Sea bream?" Zheng Ke was stunned, why did he think that the sea bream that was difficult to buy was similar to Chinese cabbage in the eyes of the old man?

"What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and cut the fish fillet!" the old man was stunned when he saw Zheng Ke, and he was immediately unhappy.

This old man's temper is also quite big.

Zheng Ke picked up the chef's knife and thought silently.
