Chapter 451: The Dessert Department's Dilemma
Sikong Yao sat respectfully in front of Liu Yaqin, after today's contact, coupled with Liu Yaqin's extra points for Sikong Yao, it all made him respect this teacher from the bottom of his heart. And judging from her words and deeds, Sikong Yao would not think that she would deliberately make things difficult for herself, and the reason why she still had to talk to her so late at night was naturally for her reasons.
And Sikong Yao had speculated about Liu Yaqin's intentions in his heart before, the two had only known each other for a day, if there was any intersection between the two, and there was already opposition or the same because of something, then the only thing Sikong Yao could think of was dessert. And based on this, from the perspective of Liu Yaqin as a teacher, Sikong Yao can further think that the things that Liu Yaqin wants to talk to her about must be related to desserts, and it is also related to herself.
Now when Liu Yaqin asked like this, Sikong Yao knew that he had not guessed wrong. What Liu Yaqin is worried about, โกโnโกโsโกโb, โฒ.โnsโกb.โm is really tomorrow's Sikong Yao's assessment.
Although Sikong Yao was sure in his heart, he still didn't understand Liu Yaqin's intentions at this time, so he didn't know how to answer, and then asked in turn: "Can you ask the teacher for some advice?" โ
Liu Yaqin sighed and said lightly: "You are so easy-going and calm, but free and natural. But tomorrow's cooking test won't be so casual with you. โ
Sikong Yao said embarrassedly: "Is the teacher talking about my sword going off the rails today?" โ
Regarding her performance in today's mounting assessment, although Sikong Yao has ten percent confidence in her heart, she also understands. In fact, in the end, Liu Yaqin's blessing was dragged down, and he was able to barely pass the customs.
Liu Yaqin smiled lightly: "You know it. โ
Sikong Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "But at that time, I had no choice, I was confident that I could win the first place." It's not that I'm boasting, but I admit that I still have a lot of shortcomings in dessert cooking, and I am not even as good as my classmates in many theoretical things, but when it comes to practical ability and cooking experience, I also have my own pride. โ
Liu Yaqin nodded and said, "I can see it." โ
Sikong Yao quickly explained: "But the first place is far from enough. At the beginning, the vice president gave me the conditions. If I want to enter the dessert department, I have to get two perfect marks in the seven subjects in the final assessment, and even if I have missed the opportunity to take five subjects, even if I have won the first place in all seven subjects. But if there is no perfect score. You can't get into the dessert department. As the saying goes, there are no rules. The reason why St. Eude Road Culinary Academy can stand on the top of the continent must have its operating mode and rules, and everything is unchanged. That's where integrity lies. If you don't follow the conditions you set at the beginning and enter the dessert department with real strength, you will inevitably be criticized in the future and disgrace the reputation of the college. So today I had to take a risk in order to get a perfect score, to get into the dessert department, and not to tarnish the reputation of the Saint-Edro Culinary Academy. โ
Sikong Yao spoke passionately for a while, his tone rose slightly, Fang Jue lost his temper, and then bowed his head and thanked him: "But...... Thank you, teacher. โ
Liu Yaqin smiled and said, "Don't be shy, what you said is exactly what the teacher thinks." He Lai told me all the reasons for the incident, and when I saw you in the assessment today, I can also feel that you are a person who really loves dessert cooking, so I also want to help you, for the future of the dessert department, at least with me, I don't want to set up a barrier for you. There is a dispensable half-point difference, and I can still be the master. โ
Sikong Yao said embarrassedly: "In this way, I thought it was because I knew Brother Hui that you gave face." โโฆ
Liu Yaqin smiled lightly: "There is also such a reason, but more, I still hope that you can enter the dessert department." โ
Sikong Yao nodded, and then said seriously: "Teacher, what do you mean by what you mean by the future of the dessert department?" โ
A trace of helplessness flashed in Liu Yaqin's eyes, but it flashed immediately, but it was still captured by Sikong Yao This detail, Liu Yaqin sighed and said, "You shouldn't know the current situation of the dessert department, right?" After all, you don't have much time to spend in the academy this semester. โ
Sikong Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah...... Something went wrong. โ
Sikong Yao would never have thought that after going to Xiamen during the holidays, her life would go on a path that she had not imagined at all.
"I only know that Teacher He Lai is a counselor, Teacher Liu is a decorating technician, and Teacher Lin teaches baking."
Liu Yaqin explained to Sikong Yao: "That's the case...... The dessert department is now the worst department in the academy and the culinary department. โ
Sikong Yao looked stunned and said in disbelief: "The worst? โ
Liu Yaqin nodded and said, "The culinary department of our college is divided into seven departments, namely Chinese cuisine, Western cuisine, Southeast Asian cuisine, Japanese cuisine, special cuisine, desserts, and beverages. For example, the Chinese cuisine is divided into eight sub-departments according to Sichuan, Lu, Guangdong, Huaiyang, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Hunan ......
Before Liu Yaqin's words could be finished, Sikong Yao interrupted: "Wait...... What's going on? How come I've never heard that there are subdivisions in the department, and is there a division into decant decorating, baking, and noodles? This is too unrealistic, dessert is not an existence that can be divided by this. โ
Liu Yaqin nodded in approval, and then said: "Yes, dessert is not made up of quantity, dough, whisking, molding, baking, and decorating, dessert cooking is an organic combination process, although a dessert dish may not necessarily apply all techniques, but it is different to ignore the role of any link." Therefore, there is no small department in the dessert department, but students who excel in a certain aspect will be divided into exclusive classes, such as Ke Qing is a student in the second baking class. โ
Sikong Yao nodded clearly and said, "There is a specialization in the art industry. โ
Liu Yaqin nodded in greeting, and said, "Yes, but it also brings some problems, can you imagine it?" โ
Sikong Yao pondered for a while and said, "Because there is no small department in the dessert department, the competitiveness is not as good as other departments, and all of them are the worst among the seven major departments?" โ
Liu Yaqin laughed and said, "It's only half right." โ
Sikong Yao said puzzledly: "Why? โ
Liu Yaqin said with a wry smile: "The reason why the dessert department is not as good as the other six cooking departments is that in recent years, there have been no outstanding students who can master the six skills, and they have not been able to get a good ranking in the national competition, so it has not fallen to the worst of the seventh department today." However, if students can integrate the six skills, then the competitiveness of the dessert department will be the strongest among the seven departments. โ
Sikong Yao nodded, signaling that he understood what Liu Yaqin meant, the main reason why the dessert department has declined in recent years is because of the quality of the students. Due to the lack of good students and the average results, the competitiveness of the dessert department is not as good as that of other departments, and excellent students may also be snatched away, so a vicious circle, the dessert department is not as good as day by day.
But Sikong Yao quickly captured other information, since it is said that the dessert system has not fallen to the worst of the seven series today, it also means that in the past, the dessert system was not the worst among the seven series. โฆ
Sikong Yao asked rhetorically, "Teacher, according to you, when did the dessert department begin to decline?" โ
Liu Yaqin said with a wry smile: "It's been seven years so far, at that time, the country's economic level was not high, and desserts were a petty bourgeois delicacy that discouraged many people. Now, I haven't seen any particularly outstanding students. โ
Sikong Yao nodded, if you really want to play dessert cooking, the oven, molds, and various utensils will cost thousands of yuan for a complete set, and the cost of the ingredients will not be packaged. Like the matcha powder that is often used, the quality is slightly better, and it costs 150 yuan a catty, which ordinary people generally can't afford.
Sikong Yao said again: "So what does the teacher mean?" โ
Liu Yaqin said: "Tomorrow's judges are composed of representatives from the teachers of the seven departments, the vice deans and the seniors of the fourth session, a group of nine. You'll have to conquer everyone to get the perfect score. โ
Sikong Yao gasped, this is undoubtedly an impossible character, everyone's taste preferences are deviated, what this person likes, the other person may not like it 100%, so that nine people feel satisfied with the dessert, Sikong Yao can't make it anyway.
"Teacher, this ......" Sikong Yao didn't say a word before he spoke, and Liu Yaqin snapped up: "But here, the teacher of the dessert department, the vice dean, and the teachers of the beverage department, the Western food department, the Southeast Asian cuisine department and the specialty cuisine department will give you full marks, and the problem you are facing is the senior of the fourth session, as well as the teacher of the Japanese cuisine department." โ
Sikong Yao's heart suddenly subsided a little embarrassed, but the situation is still not optimistic, although two people, but if these two people's tastes and likes are far from each other, Sikong Yao is also incompetent.
Sikong Yao's helpless expression was completely written on her face, Liu Yaqin smiled, and said: "Don't be so desperate, since the teacher can recruit you, he naturally wants to give you a move, and I also hope that the dessert department can flourish under my leadership." No matter how difficult things are, first of all, you have to understand that this senior has the taste of that teacher, right? (To be continued......)
