Episode 252 Convergence

After Zheng Ke finished the last two dishes, he said goodbye to Absolon and told him that if he started training tomorrow, he would not come again.

Absolon was reluctant to let Zheng Ke go, but he also knew that Zheng Ke had to leave, so he hugged Zheng Ke with regret on his face, "Zheng Ke, you must win the quota." ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll definitely do my best. Zheng Ke said confidently.

Hurrying back to school, Zheng Ke communicated with Orlens again, but Orlens told him that he had arrived downstairs at his residence.

Zheng Ke thought that Orlens would wait for him at school, but he didn't expect Orlens to come directly to his dormitory.

He didn't know what Orlens was thinking, but the fact that Orlens was able to come to his residence had made him a lot less busy.

Back at the residence, Zheng Ke really saw Orlens standing downstairs bored, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

"Teacher, I thought you would be at school?" Zheng Ke said with a dry smile.

"Why do you go to school? Your dormitory has a kitchen and a place to live, so it's so convenient, why don't you use it. Orlens asked rhetorically.

Zheng Ke has a black line, didn't you want me to look for you at school?

However, what Orlens said also makes sense, his own accommodation is indeed more comfortable than the school.

Zheng Ke accompanied Orlens upstairs and into the bedroom.

"By the way, how about Kohei and Erina?" Orens, seeing the empty room, suddenly remembered the two exchange students.

"They are still in the THE-BLUE Japan qualifiers, and I don't dare to ask in detail because they are still playing, but the results should be available soon. Actually, I still have expectations for them. Zheng Ke said with a smile.

Orlens nodded slightly, "I'm more confident in Erina, as for Kohei......"

At the mention of Kohei, Orlens shook his head helplessly.

"Kohei is very talented in cooking. Zheng Ke explained.

"I know. But during this period of time in Lanji, his French cuisine has progressed slowly, and if he discards the original cooking method...... Enough to choke. I'm optimistic about his growth in the second half of the year, as for the first half of the year...... If I don't go back, I feel like it's going to be a victory. ”

Zheng Ke nodded slightly, in the first semester, Xingping did spend a lot of energy in places other than cooking, especially the learning of language and the adaptation to French life, which really made it difficult for him to improve his cooking skills.

Fortunately, the most difficult days have passed, and Kohei can focus on French cuisine next.

"Okay, now for your business...... Would you like to apply for a lecturer at Everton?" Orlens asked.

"Yes. Zheng Ke nodded.

"It's not easy for you...... At least, you may not be able to meet Everton's requirements now. Orlens said truthfully.

Although Zheng Ke's cooking skills are very good now, even in Lanji, he is also among the top few. However, working as a lecturer and participating in a competition as a contestant are two completely different concepts. A good player doesn't have to be a good lecturer, it's like a world-class player, you don't have to be a coach.

In addition, there is one thing that Orlens is more worried about - the level of the students is likely to surpass Zheng Ke.

In fact, if the strength of the two players is not much different, it is easy to have conflicts on some points of view, which will test the lecturer's ability to control the field, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to get off the stage. Moreover, if their own strength is insufficient, they will also mislead the students.

"I'm not afraid. Zheng Ke's tone was resolute.

Orlens didn't expect Zheng Ke to say this, and his expression was slightly surprised.

"First of all, Mr. Romon has made it clear to me before that there will be different levels of lecturers, and according to these levels, they will get a lot of bonuses, so the students will be responsible for the corresponding level of teachers when they choose the corresponding courses. I can't do 50,000 euros but I am asked to do 1 million euros, and I should not be responsible for the losses caused by this. Of course, if I can successfully apply, I will make it clear to Mr. Romong. The contract is a two-way street, and since he can bind me with the contract, then I can also make my demands, right?" Zheng Ke explained.

"You're not afraid of losing your job?" Orlens asked.

"What's there to be afraid of? After graduation, my main job is to open my own small shop, and the reason why I applied for the lecturer job was to train myself, broaden my horizons, get in touch with celebrity chefs and gourmets, and see the world, but I don't want to become constrained. If it weren't for this opportunity, I'm sure there would have been a next one. Zheng Ke explained.

Orlens bowed slightly, "Yes, I didn't expect you to think so clearly." ”

"It's all about protecting myself, but what I'm really trying to say is that I'm not afraid of competition at all. I thought of you in order to prepare for the exams, and besides, Everton won't be able to open until the beginning of next year, and I will definitely make myself better in this time. ”

Orlens was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Zheng Ke, do you know what I admire most about you?"

Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders, how could he possibly think about it?

"Confident...... There is also the spirit of not admitting defeat. Orlens said.

Since I came to this world, I have indeed become more confident.

Zheng Ke stretched out a breath and thought silently in his heart.

"Well, since you're so determined, let's talk about the cooking show. By the way, Zheng Ke, what is your concept of cooking performance?" Orlens looked at Zheng Ke.

"Cooking show...... To put it simply, it is not only in front of the customer, but also the type of ingredient, which is roughly divided into three situations, namely, cutting, cooking, and burning. Zheng Ke explained simply.

"Yes, it's a cooking show. In fact, it is not unusual for cooking performances to be produced, just to make customers feel the visual impact.

"Ingredients are cooked with great skill, cut in front of diners with skillful knife work, and even burned with the properties of spirits. These scenes...... No, as long as there is a picture that can appear in the field of vision of diners, and then attract diners. Because this method has certain requirements for ingredients and cooking skills, and at the same time, it requires operators to have superb cooking skills, so cooking performances usually appear in high-end restaurants.

"The students at Everton are all star-studded chefs, so they have to be proficient in cooking performances. Zheng Ke, cooking performances can show your superb cooking skills, but at the same time, because cooking performances usually appear in high-end competitions, those judges' requirements for cooking will also increase. Otherwise, they will think that the dish is not enough to be a cooking show. I'll be doing intensive training for you for the next week or so – and I hope you stick with it. ”

Orlens looked at Zheng Ke, and his gaze suddenly became much sharper.
