Gong Baorou regretted it, regretted why she had not taken the exam for the intermediate chef qualification certificate, otherwise she would have remembered the topic of this issue, unlike now, her eyes were black, she didn't know what this year's topic was, and she panicked. And Sun Fugui said that it is impossible to know the topic in advance.

"What kind of competition do you think this is, the title is impossible to leak, and it is even possible that even the judges only know the title at the last minute."

Gong Baorou is dead.

"There is a big difference between the intermediate assessment and the primary assessment, participating in the primary assessment is the same as playing at home, while the intermediate assessment is more strict. The judges of the primary assessment may be diners in restaurants, or simply chefs who have obtained the senior chef qualification certificate, as long as they know a little basic skills and can cook, they can basically pass. For the intermediate level, there will be an examiner sent by the chef association, and if you pass and perform well, they will admit you to the chef association. ”

Chef Guild? This Gong Baorou has heard of it, but she has not joined it. In this way, her last life was basically in vain. Nothing is known.

"The Chefs' Guild is a semi-official organization, and you'll know it when you join." Sun Fugui didn't bother to explain so much, "All in all, work hard, the assessment time may be around May, just be prepared." ”

It's May, and it's only April now. Gong Baorou was slightly relieved.

Because she was preparing to participate in the intermediate assessment, Gong Baorou suddenly became busy, and she no longer had time to lie in bed or on the sofa and think nonsense, which can be regarded as a good thing. After several exercises, Sun Fugui handed over Gong Baorou to Zhou Fangren.

"Teacher Zhou focuses on knife work, you follow him to study hard." Sun Fugui said with a smile, but Gong Baorou always felt that there was a deep meaning in it.

Zhou Fangren seemed to be unaware, touched Gong Baorou's head, and said gently: "Arou is very talented, I am happy to teach her." ”

Gong Baorou, as the protagonist, doesn't know anything. But it doesn't matter, she doesn't like to delve into it, and she knows that Sun Fugui will not harm her.

Superb knife work should meet the requirements of accuracy, agility, delicacy and beauty. There are many types of knife work, which can be divided according to the angle of contact between the blade and the anvil or raw materials, which can be divided into straight knife method, sheet knife method, oblique knife method and cutting knife method.

The straight knife method is a knife method in which the knife is at right angles to the cutting board pier surface or raw materials. Due to the different properties of raw materials and cooking requirements, the straight knife method can be divided into cutting, chopping, chopping, etc., while the slice knife method is a knife method in which the knife and the anvil are basically parallel during operation. This knife method can cut the raw material into very thin and neat slices, and it is used when it is difficult to do it with a knife method in general cutting, and is suitable for boneless tough raw materials, soft raw materials, or brittle raw materials that are soft when cooked. The slice knife method can be divided into flat slice method, push piece method, pull piece method, shake piece method, etc. The oblique knife method is also a kind of slice knife method, but when cutting, it is beveled to the raw material, and it can be divided into two types: positive blade and reverse blade. These are not very difficult, what Gong Baorou needs to learn most is actually the knife cutting technique.

The knife has the meaning of carving, so it is also called the flower knife. The knife is a knife that uses several cutting and slicing techniques to scratch the surface of the raw material with a variety of horizontal and vertical knife lines that are deep and impermeable. After cooking, the raw materials can be curled into various shapes, such as: wheat ears, chrysanthemums, magnolia flowers, lychees, walnuts, fish gills, lichen, wooden comb back and other shapes. It makes the ingredients easy to cook, and keeps the dishes fresh, tender and crispy, so that the condiment juices are easy to hang around the ingredients. There are certain requirements for the depth of the knife edge, which is generally about two-thirds or four-fifths of the raw material. For example, most of the classic dishes such as squirrel and fish fish and fish flavored eggplant dragon use the knife cutting method.

Zhou Fangren gave her a very strange knife and then taught her how to carve.

"As long as you follow the pattern, then it is not difficult to carve. Let's learn how to carve turnip flowers first. Although Zhou Fangren is gentle and elegant, he is not soft at all when teaching Gong Baorou, "It takes about five minutes for you to carve a radish flower the size of the bottom of a bowl now, even if you have twelve flowers a minute, and seven hundred and twenty flowers in an hour, count it as if you take a break in the middle, and after two hours, I will check, and you can hand over to me 1,400 flowers." ”

Zhou Fangren wore his usual smile, but what he said made people want to vomit blood. No wonder there are always so many carrots piled up in the warehouse, it turns out that they are just for students to learn carving.

Gong Baorou watched as someone specially carried four large baskets, and visually measured that there should be a hundred carrots in one basket, and one carrot could carve up to four flowers. Gong Baorou calculated, only to feel that her hand holding the knife was trembling.

"I'll check in two hours, and there are no fourteen hundred flowers, Arou, your lunch won't be settled at noon today." Flutteringly dropped a threatening sentence (?!) Zhou Fangren left.

Gong Baorou held a carrot, sighed, and began to carve. Carving is a very tedious thing, and how to carve different styles of flowers on different materials is also a science. Gong Baorou had always been reluctant to learn before, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Sun Daoliang specially assigned a chef to be her starter. And now, it is still truly her own, so that she can rest assured and learn slowly.

But Gong Baorou didn't expect that just this carrot carving would take her five days to learn. In the past five days, Gong Baorou's speed has been able to increase to a flower in more than a minute, and the scrap rate is quite low. But Zhou Fangren didn't seem to be satisfied, and didn't let Gong Baorou enter the next learning link. Always practicing the same thing over and over again, Gong Baorou was a little tired, but she didn't complain, after all, her ability was not enough, and Zhou Fangren didn't mean to target her.

Finally, on a sunny day (?) ), sunny (?) In the afternoon, Zhou Fangren spoke, and this was her eighth day of practicing carving carrot flowers.

Zhou Fangren pinched a flower, and there was no satisfied look on his face. Gong Baorou was a little uneasy, and at the same time a little restless.

"Still doesn't work?" Gong Baorou's hand holding the knife tightened.

Zhou Fangren smiled and said lightly: "Only when you reach less than one minute, you can be regarded as a beginner, thirty seconds, it is considered a small success, and ten seconds, you can become a teacher." Arou, what kind of Cheng dù are you now? ”

Gong Baorou couldn't believe it, she had been practicing for so long, didn't she even get started? So when will you be able to become a teacher?

Zhou Fangren shook her head, took the knife in her hand, and the next second, Gong Baorou's eyes widened.
