Chapter 623: A Medal
c_t; The importance of creativity for a cuisine, Sikong Yao is not the first time to experience, she admits that she is not a skilled pastry chef, but many times she always relies on unique ideas and ideas to pass the test, although often can clearly feel the lack of their ability, but every time it seems to be just right to get through the difficulties, such a fluke can be maintained until when, at this moment, Sikong Yao suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
If it weren't for the idea of flaming ice cream, or if she couldn't team up with Jean, maybe she would have made chocolate in the end, right?
Sikong Yao began to ask herself, if it wasn't for Jean this time, if it wasn't for the fact that she had tasted flame ice cream by chance, would she be like those chocolate cooks, looking at her dessert and unwilling to regret it?
It's obviously a dessert without any defects, although it's not an earth-shattering delicacy, but it won't be reduced to others who will feel spurned even at a glance, but such a cruel thing still happens, for any chef, this is unacceptable to himself, and the feeling of being ignored by others in his own cuisine is an inexplicable shame in a chef's life.
Sikong Yao suddenly became a little scared, since his strength is not good, but he can go all the way here, then the weapon that accompanies his victory is the imagination that is different from ordinary people, but this kind of ethereal imagination can really accompany him to tide over the difficulties every time?
At this moment, Sikong Yao felt that an unprecedented crisis had appeared, although he passed the assessment of a professional pastry chef, does this really mean that he already has the level of a professional pastry chef?
Just like the exam in school, can you really use the score of an assessment to lay down a person's level? That's not appropriate, is it? Although it is a fair exam, there will always be some people who have better luck and happen to encounter a topic that they are good at, can this be regarded as absolutely fair? Just because of a failed assessment. It would be too cruel to completely deny the efforts and dedication of a person.
Professional pastry chefs are just a milestone station for Sikong Yao, and there will be a terminal for pastry masters in the future, and even a wider world gate that cannot be seen. Sikong Yao suddenly remembered some of the assessment criteria for dessert masters, and Sikong Yao remembered that Louis had said that the competition lasted for a whole month, and he cooked hundreds of desserts. Ask for books
Thinking about it this way, only such a comprehensive test can more objectively reflect a person's strength. The more harsh and strict it is, the more it can reflect a person's ability and level.
Sikong Yao sighed secretly, looking at these chocolates that no one cared about because they melted and gradually became bitter, his heart was full of emotion, "In the end, I ...... Can you call yourself a professional pastry chef? ”
This question lingered in his mind, and Sikong Yao gave himself a negative answer, in the final analysis, on top of the flame ice cream, Jean obviously contributed more than himself, compared to a whimsical idea. Jean's basic skills and knowledge of desserts are obviously much more than Sikong Yao.
Sikong Yao shrugged her shoulders, if it weren't for the smell of these bitter chocolates that made her sober up, I'm afraid she would have been immersed in the joy of this time, and thus became fluttering and didn't know why, such a person, the future road may not be bright.
Becoming a professional pastry chef is only a first-class level, but looking at the whole world, it is only an entry level, above that. There is also a super-first-class level, as well as an international standard, as well as the pinnacle of pastry chefs, professional standards. But it's just a ticket to climb to the top, the road is still long, and the sweat to be shed is not over yet.
Sikong Yao was glad that he was able to discover this in time, and suddenly he was able to understand why Bai Xia had gone to France to practice three years ago because of that failure, even though his approach was too extreme. But it is undeniable that only those who can maintain high standards for themselves at all times will be able to reach the pinnacle of cuisine.
If you are a person who is willing to be mediocre, naturally you don't have to work so hard, but Sikong Yao is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, although she was once lazy and lax, but with what she has seen and heard in the past year, she began to discover that the warmth of the blood flowing in her body has begun to make her boil.
Sikong Yao felt that this might be a sign of high morale, and clenched his fists tightly, next, he had to run faster and farther, in order to live up to the name of the chef.
As time passed, the dinner party finally came to an end, and Eric embarrassed himself and invited Sikong Yao and Jean to the back yard of the farm.
Sikong Yao saw that Eric's expression didn't seem to be right, and took the lead in speaking: "Does the owner of Eric have anything to say to us?" ”
Eric sighed and said, "Well, there's one thing, most of you are going to be unhappy when you say it, but if you keep delaying it, it's not good, so I'm going to tell you as soon as possible......"
Sikong Yao and Jean looked at each other, and the voice of the owner of Eric Village was very heavy, and there was a feeling of uneasiness circling in his heart.
Jean asked, "Didn't you fail the test?" ”
An impossible thought came to Jean's mind, if he couldn't pass the assessment in this way, then the difficulty of this assessment was too high.
Eric shook his head and said, "That's not it, both of you are excellent, the best pastry chef I've ever met over the years, if you don't pass the exam, then I don't think anyone will be able to pass." ”
Jean breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what could be worse than this?" ”
Jean glanced at Sikong Yao, and Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Indeed, as long as you pass the assessment, there shouldn't be anything frustrating." ”
Eric sighed and said, "But in fact, there is one thing that will make you feel a little uncomfortable......"
Jean hesitated, "Uh...... What's the matter? ”
Eric pulled a box out of his bosom and said, "Look at this." ”
Inside the black box, a dazzling light was revealed at the moment of opening, and lying on the white cotton was a medal made of pure gold in the shape of a hexagon, pinned with a blue ribbon symbolizing the pastry chef, Sikong Yao and Jean reached a consensus in an instant, this is the medal of the professional pastry chef, the existence they dream of.
Because of the bitter chocolate matter, Sikong Yao was a lot calmer, and he was already immune to the title of professional pastry chef, which may be poison, but he would not be completely silent in it, so he took the lead in asking: "Is there anything wrong with this medal?" ”
Eric shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with this medal, the problem is that there is only one ...... with this medal."
"Only one?" Jean's voice increased noticeably, "But there are two of us!" ”
Eric said with some embarrassment: "In fact, although you have all passed the examination, but unfortunately, there is only one medal ......."
Jean gritted his teeth, a feeling of being deceived welled up in his heart, and his blood was almost mad, "You should have said this kind of thing sooner!" ”
Eric said with some confidence: "I'm sorry, but ......"
Sikong Yao shrugged and said, "But if we had said it from the beginning, the two of us would not have formed an alliance, you are afraid of such a thing happening, right?" ”
Sikong Yao said what Eric thought, which made him feel even more shameless, the fact is that if Eric only had one medal at the beginning, that is, the truth that only one person could obtain the qualification of a professional pastry chef in the end, then Sikong Yao and Jean would definitely not be able to form an alliance for personal honor, although both of them were excellent, but if they were separated, they might not be able to achieve tonight's results, or this is also inevitable.
Eric was afraid that this would happen, and that the Medici family's reputation would be damaged again, so he was hiding it so that Jean and Sikong Yao could join forces, but this was tantamount to wrapping fire in paper, and deception was definitely not a good thing.
Jean's face flushed, this feeling of being deceived almost swallowed his reason, and the feeling of being toyed with came to his heart, and no one would feel good, even Sikong Yao was silent.
Jean roared, "You're a fraud! Exploitation of our labor, odious capitalists! ”
Eric tried to defend something, but he couldn't find an excuse, just kept dodging Gin's gaze.
The cold wind blew slowly, not making him feel a little cool, but felt that his blush was even more uncomfortable, and at this time, Eric could only pray that the anger of the two would subside sooner.
"Sorry...... I know I'm mean, but I can't help it, forgive me, I'll make it up to the best of my ability, I'm really sorry......"
Jean became more and more angry, "What do you pay us for, this is something that money bought?" No kidding! ”
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Sikong Yao suddenly patted Jean on the shoulder.
"Sikong Yao, you must be so angry, this guy is actually playing ...... us" Jean's voice gradually lowered, and he was surprised to find that Sikong Yao's expression was so plain and unwavering.
Sikong Yao smiled lightly and said, "It's okay Jean, you can take this medal." ”
