Chapter 378 (Study)
There is also the time and quantity of various spices in the pot, and the heat required for the dish, Sun Chen has no concept of these, but he just relied on Sun Jianjun's suggestions on the side to reluctantly make them.
In terms of taste, Sun Chen spent a lot of effort, although Sun Jianjun was watching from the sidelines, he also used it for a long time before he gradually figured out the right amount.
Although there are many crash courses in the society that will teach you everything on the timetable as soon as you enter, Sun Jianjun didn't want his son to go there.
Instead of passively cramming a head of recipes, it is better to hone it slowly and learn the skills of the eight classics.
During this period, many relatives and friends were not used to seeing their family accommodating the wayward Sun Chen, and came to persuade them, but Sun Chen himself decided that Sun Jianjun, the head of the family, was also very supportive, and Sun Chen was stunned for more than two years in the restaurant.
Although Leng Yue has always wanted her son to find a suitable girl to marry home, Sun Chen, who is still a nineteen-year-old boy inside, is not in a hurry at all.
In their world, a young man can be a father at the age of nineteen, but seeing so many older young people made Sun Chen suddenly realize that his life should be more than just getting married and having children with the flow.
……
"Ah Chen, is the braised eggplant on table four ready? Don't forget to tell your dad that they don't let garlic go. Leng Yue shouted at Sun Chen at the outlet.
"Oh, got it." Although the sound of the range hood rumbled, Sun Chen still heard his mother's instructions and agreed at the top of his voice.
Fast food is not like a large hotel, and the guests who come to eat will not be accommodating to the taste of a chef they admire, and there are more trivial requirements.
Everyone's acceptance of the sweet, sour, spicy and salty is also different, maybe this person thinks that it is already a peerless delicacy, and when he Amway gives it to his friends, the other party may not necessarily cheer for it.
What a fast food restaurant chef like Sun Chen can do is only to make the food sold more palatable within the scope of general public acceptance.
This should also be the sadness of chefs who work in fast food restaurants, they will not make too many flavors that are acceptable to the general public, at most they are modest, so they will never be able to compete for their place in the chef world with these things.
So how do you define a chef's professional level? In the past, there was no good way, it all relied on the word of mouth of diners, and there were special dishes that have been passed down for a hundred years. Nowadays, all walks of life have a set of identification standards for the industry they are engaged in, and the same is true for the chef industry.
That's right, it's the exam.
Young people with the dream of being a chef can only make the world recognize their identity as a chef by passing the examination, otherwise, no matter how good you are at cooking, you can't say that you are a chef.
If he only stayed in this small restaurant for the rest of his life, helping behind his father, of course Sun Chen would not need to be so troublesome, he only needed a health certificate and an employment contract. But Sun Chen didn't plan to live in such a vague way. At the very least, when Dad is older, he must be able to take his place, so that he will not be too old, and he will have to work hard in front of the stove.
Sun Jianjun also has a certificate in his hand, but what he holds is a vocational assessment certificate he obtained more than ten years ago after participating in a vocational training course for idle people in the community. But for Sun Chen's current research journey, he can't provide any effective suggestions or opinions.
After all, the times are advancing, and the qualification assessment methods of all walks of life are also constantly changing.
Sun Chen seems to be the only one he can rely on.
He spent the whole night searching the Internet for a lot of information about chef exams, and finally came to the conclusion that the first step was to find a chef training school.
Because in order to obtain a chef qualification certificate, you must first complete training for no less than a limited period of time in a nationally recognized vocational training institution, and then practice in an internship unit for at least two years or more.
Moreover, the qualification certificate obtained in this way is only a beginner, and if you want to go further, you need different years of experience, which is completely boiling qualifications.
From beginner to intermediate, at least three years, from intermediate to advanced, at least four years, from senior to technician, at least five years or more...
Sun Chen didn't want to be so bullish, he just thought that the mixed certificate could be inherited from his father, and after shopping around, he chose the Hongda Chef Training School closest to his home.
According to the taste of the dishes in their restaurant, Sun Chen chose the specialty of Lu Province - Qibang cuisine as his specialty.
The people who came to study were almost seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, mostly men, who didn't like to learn much, but their families didn't want them to let them go free, thinking that they could learn a craft here, so that they wouldn't be able to mix up food and clothing without a skill in the future.
Twenty-six-year-old Sun Chen sat in the middle of such a group of older children who had not grown all their hair, and he looked particularly outstanding.
Because he was the oldest, he was also assigned to be the class leader of this class by the head teacher who was only in his thirties, but those bastards actually called him the old class leader because of Sun Chen's age.
Sun Chen chose to ignore their innocent ridicule, anyway, when he came here, he just wanted to mix up the certificate, and he couldn't bother with these children.
Because of Sun Chen's acquiescence, the old squad leader, who was not a nickname, called it like this, and even the classmates who were not in the same class as last time actually called him that way.
In the end, the entire chef school knew that this year's Qibang cuisine major had an old squad leader like Sun Chen, who was about to be over thirty years old.
In the daily practice of basic skills, Sun Chen did not deal with the past carelessly because he already had previous experience, but was more diligent than the classmates around him.
He also always overdid the sand by cutting into pieces, shredding, and shaking the sand with an iron pot, and he also took the art of food carving in between his professional courses. He felt that the food carving was really amazing, ordinary radish potatoes, as well as winter melon, etc., under the skillful hands of the mentor, slowly faded their original ordinary appearance, showing a colorful beauty that made people shine.
And most importantly, they can still eat such a beautiful view!
However, I have to admit that not all jobs can be successful by relying on enthusiasm, and it is impossible for her to do everything she can to make any achievements on the way to eating eagles.
……
Frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying, slipping, marinating, stewing, a little worse heat, the taste will be greatly reduced, braised boiled, steamed, stir-fried, various cooking techniques, so that Sun Chen is dazzled, immersed in the exploration of food every day. Every day, you will find that Sun Chen arranges himself like a spinning top, and he is not willing to waste a moment.
Compared with them, Sun Jianjun's cooking skills, which were originally quite eye-catching, were turned into scum in an instant, not to mention that he had just touched the threshold of the chef.
Sun Chen was like a sponge that had fallen into the ocean, desperately absorbing the nutrients in it, and he wished that twenty-four hours a day could be turned into forty-eight hours. A person's energy is limited, Sun Chen put all his mind into studying cooking skills, and naturally neglected to have a good relationship with the classmates around him.
In the entire class, Sun Chen can only remember a third of the people, and this is because they will take the initiative to greet him when they meet him on the road, and mention the little things that are more impressive when the two of them get along, so that he can remember who is who.
In addition to the must-attend meetings, he never mixed them with the meetings organized by the class. The title of his squad leader is simply a fictitious one.
Some classmates said in the class that he was too high-minded and had no collective concept at all, Sun Chen smiled bitterly, but in the end he still went his own way.
Joke, he's here, but he's here to learn how to cook, where can he waste his time messing around with these little hairy people?
……
Three months later, it was their first assessment of this training course, and the whole assessment only tested their one dish - fried double crispy.
All the efforts were worth it, Sun Chen went to the stove and quickly completed his homework.
Holding the dishes that let the tutor score and get a good score of 9:5, Sun Chen was happily planning to go to the small supermarket to buy two steamed buns to make do with lunch, but the road in front of him was stopped by two little boys who were dressed up particularly non-mainstream.
"Old squad leader, don't be in a hurry to leave, let our brothers use this dish!"
The tall and thin man with purple hair opened his mouth, and his voice was the voice of a male duck who had not yet gotten rid of the voice change period, and his face was full of flowing air.
"Who are you?" Sun Chen frowned, he was already annoyed in his heart, he had been over for so long, he still couldn't accept them dressed like this, especially when they suddenly came out just now, so frightened that he almost threw the plate in his hand.
What if this dish is wasted...... Sun Chen felt that he must have the desire to strangle the other party immediately.
"You don't know who we are?!" The other party was obviously a little surprised, thinking that our brothers were also the number one people in the class, was this Sun Chen pretending to be stupid, so he deliberately said that he didn't know him?
But the two of them looked at it again and again, and found that Sun Chen was not only a little displeased, but also had a puzzled face, could it be that he really didn't know them before this?
"I'm Li Dongye, he's Yi Weisong, and we're all in the Qi Gang Vegetable Class." Li Dongye, who didn't dye his hair much, but Li Dongye, who had more than a dozen ear piercings on one side, spoke, "Old squad leader, have you finished scoring that dish?" ”
"When you're done, you guys should hurry up and show it to the instructors! I'll go first. ”
Sun Chen waved his hand at them, as if he didn't see the indignation on the face of Yi Weisong next to him, and turned around and left neatly.
"Cut, look at his virtue! Do you really think this squad leader is a big official? If it weren't for the fact that he was the oldest in the class, where would it be his turn to be the squad leader!? You say he's been in office for so long, what else has he done besides being responsible for opening the classroom every day? Yi Weisong's voice did not converge, but seemed to be specially shouted out for Sun Chen to hear.
"People don't want to lend it to us, what can we do? Ask someone else! Li Dongye said helplessly, but looking at Sun Chen's gaze, he was also a little dissatisfied, "The way he looks, he must have offended a lot of people in this assessment, let's just wait for the day when he is dismissed by the mentor!" ”
When that day comes, he'll definitely taunt him!
"Don't be stupid, hurry up!" Seeing that Yi Weisong began to desert again, Li Dongye snorted angrily and turned around and left first.
Sun Chencai doesn't care how hateful everyone here is, he is holding two big steamed buns at the moment, heading towards his own dishes!
What is the difference between the canteen of the Chef Training School and other canteens?
The same crowded environment, the same variety of strange dishes, but no surprise, there is also the same faint taste of a bird.
The most convenient conditions for the chef school are the results of their practice - shredded potatoes, potato wedges, shredded radish, and radish cubes.
I just ate until I vomited.
Fortunately, there will be a few days off in the last week of each month, so that he can go home and refuel some water.
The first meal in the school was actually made by himself, can this not make him emotional!
Because it's a little cold, the chicken gizzard is not so crispy, but it's still the same chewy, but the taste is really good.
Sun Chen tasted it and evaluated it in his heart. The instructors are so polite, such a level, 8.5 points is a bit high, 9.5 points, at least one point perfunctory.
After eating, Sun Chen brushed his own dishes and chopsticks, and brought back to class the plates he borrowed from the classroom when cooking.
"It's nice to huddle in a corner and eat alone, right? You have to remember a sentence, it's hard to get fat alone! The voice full of sour words made Sun Chen frown unhappily, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the two non-mainstream who blocked his way at noon and wanted to fool the mentor.
"Isn't it just right to be fat? Some people can't lose weight even if they want to! Sun Chen snorted coldly.
Li Dongye was struck by lightning.
He feels good about himself and thinks that there is nothing wrong with his whole body, but with this round figure alone, no girl has taken a fancy to him, and it is also a heart disease that he is difficult to get rid of.
Now Sun Chen blocked him with the words he had just spoken, which made him really angry.
At that time, he straightened up his fat body and pressed hard in the direction of Sun Chen, "I let you want to be fat or not!" ”
He had already seen his path clearly, Sun Chen was not panicked at all, raised his arm and grabbed the arm that Li Dongye was about to swing off.
"Want to fight?" Sun Chen said sharply: "I advise you that if you still want to graduate successfully, don't be so full of brains!" ”
Li Dongye's family is in the countryside, and his parents used the last money to register him in the chef training school, because they wanted him to learn his skills and go home to open a small restaurant.
