Recently, good things have continued one after another, and the project of the Culinary Academy has been completed, and the work of the craftsmen has all been transferred to the camp of the forbidden army in the valley behind the academy.

In less than half a year's work, a magnificent academy has risen at the south entrance of the valley, which is really a miracle in the history of architecture.

The miracle is not just about the speed of construction, the buildings of the college, under the design of two gentlemen, Roushi and Lisui, seem to be different in style from the ordinary architectural style of the contemporary.

From the appearance alone, although it is also a blue brick and blue tile eaves vertical building, these are just the surface of the building, in fact, regardless of the main structure and internal style, Yang Huairen has that feeling of modern architectural style.

The spacious gate is the first thing that catches the eye, and beyond the gate, there is a flat and wide marble paved square.

The five-storey main teaching building is designed in the shape of a mouthpiece, and there is an open-air patio in the middle, which is designed as a garden and planted with many exotic flowers and plants.

Five floors doesn't sound like a tall building, but in these years, it's already considered an extremely tall building.

The three-story student dormitory building is designed in a zigzag shape, with nearly 1,000 rooms to accommodate 6 to 8,000 students.

In addition, there are also supporting facilities such as libraries, canteens, bathhouses, and stadiums, and new saplings have been planted between buildings, which may not be obvious now, but in a few years, the entire campus of the college will be hidden in lush trees.

The most special thing is that behind these buildings, a special area has been set aside, and high-quality soil has been brought from the outside to form a vegetable patch.

In Yang Huairen's consciousness, students should not only learn to cook vegetables, cultivate and breed vegetables, and breed chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, but also have a certain knowledge and practical foundation.

Only by understanding the source of the ingredients can we better understand the ingredients, and then make more reasonable use of the ingredients to make exquisite dishes.

Not far behind the academy is the construction site of the camp of the Forbidden Army in the Valley. For the construction of the valley camp, Yang Huairen also put forward higher requirements.

In addition to providing the necessary buildings and facilities for the accommodation and training of the soldiers of the Longwuwei and Hubenwei, the large camp should not only be used as a garrison for the two forbidden guards, but also be built into a military academy that could train soldiers and officers.

The inauguration ceremony must be held, but Yang Huairen did not plan to hold a special event.

First, because he spent so much money to build this large-scale kitchen academy, which is deviant in the eyes of many pedantic readers.

Yang Huairen's current status, no one dares to say anything openly, but Yang Huairen still hears from outsiders that many old scholars are dissatisfied with him.

What others say is someone else's business, after all, the mouth grows on someone else's body, and Yang Huairen can't block no one's mouth and prevent them from talking.

It's just that Yang Huairen doesn't want to do things too high-profile, so that those pedantic people think that he is deliberately provoking and giving some people with intentions a handle.

The second is because there is no result in the current enrollment matter. Two months ago, when the construction of the college had a certain scale, Yang Huairen put the enrollment on the agenda.

Naturally, the enrollment method could not be so high-profile through the official channels of the imperial court, so he used a relatively mild enrollment method, asking the thirteen chain restaurants to help spread the news, and asking them to post the enrollment notices of the Culinary Academy in branches all over the Great Song Dynasty.

This enrollment method has some limitations, because most of the branches opened by those big restaurants are in the big states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty, and the publicity effect may not be so good.

However, in the first phase of enrollment, the reputation of the Culinary Academy is currently limited to Yang Huairen's personal fame, so judging from the news recovered, the number of people who signed up in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty is actually not too much.

Fortunately, there are about five or six hundred people who have signed up, which also has a lot to do with the fact that these people know more about Yang Huairen.

They recognize Yang Huairen's cooking skills, and they can learn cooking skills in a kitchen academy in Yang Huairen's private home in the future, which is still very attractive to them.

But outside of Gyeonggi Road, Yang Huairen's influence is relatively small, and the number of people who signed up is only about three or four hundred.

Yang Huairen seems to have thought of this in advance. The local thinking of the ancients is deep-rooted, except for the scholars who leave their hometowns to study and study, there are really not many cases of ordinary people leaving their hometowns in order to learn a skill.

The strict population management methods of the Great Song Dynasty also restricted the normal movement of ordinary people, and ordinary people who wanted to leave their hometowns to go to other places to run errands or study arts, and the procedures that needed to go to the government were also quite complicated.

Apprentices in hotels or restaurants learn from the chefs in the kitchen from an early age, mostly through following these chefs and gradually learning their skills.

The vast majority of the three or four hundred students who signed up from other places were actually young apprentices from the branches of the thirteen chain restaurants in various places.

The reason why the proprietors and shopkeepers of these hotels are very popular is that after their restaurants joined the chain management system led by Suiyuan, their business is booming, and the dishes are constantly innovating with Suiyuan.

Coupled with the new vegetables, the supply of Suiyuan Spring wine is given priority to them, so for Yang Huairen's private kitchen academy, they have the idea of taking Yang Huairen as a backer, so they have made the greatest support within their ability.

The number of people who signed up for these registrations together was less than 1,000, far from Yang Huairen's expectations.

However, fortunately, some villagers in their hometown of Qizhou sent more than 100 children from their families, plus nearly 1,000 people who were discharged from the forbidden army and were willing to stay to learn cooking, and the number of students in the first class of the Culinary Academy was also satisfactory to Yang Huairen.

Since it is an academy, it is natural that there is no shortage of gentlemen who teach cooking.

In addition to Yang Huairen, who is the principal, he can teach in person, like his apprentice Yang Lotian and others, now have a very high level of cooking skills under his teaching.

In addition, people like Cao An and others have a good level of cooking skills, and after learning the new dishes "created" by Yang Huairen, their level has improved a lot.

In addition, Yang Huairen will also invite the chefs in the chain hotel to be guest professors, and many agronomists among the disciples of Lian Xizong will be invited to the college to teach agriculture and other necessary knowledge.

In this way, the number of teachers is barely enough. In the future, Yang Huairen will also keep the best students as lectures, so as to continuously expand the faculty of the college.
