The rest of the main course and dessert exam were easier than the basic items, and the slow-roasted lamb chops and pear puff tart with two sauces that Qian Qian drew were all well completed, and he successfully passed the test and got his graduation certificate.

This year, Qian Qian was less than twenty-one years old, and it was probably too late to calculate the time, Qian Qian wanted to find a restaurant in country F to work for a year to save experience. Who knows that she is too naïve, although she graduated from a prestigious school, her resume has been sent out in dozens of copies, and no high-end Western restaurant has extended an olive branch to her, and the fast food restaurant hamburger restaurant has not helped her improve her skills, and Qian Qian is really at a loss.

After failing to find a job, Qian Qian couldn't help but call Teacher Alice, wanting to consult how to improve the success rate of job hunting, but he didn't expect to be mercilessly ridiculed by the teacher.

"You're a recent graduate," Alice put it bluntly, "there's no decent restaurant to hire an inexperienced chef like you, unless you want to settle for a country restaurant." If you're in a hurry to make money, head to one of the cafes that sell fast food. ”

"What then?" Qian Qian couldn't help but be a little desperate: "If I really go to work in a fast food restaurant or a tavern, it is very likely that high-end Western restaurants will not accept me again in the future." ”

"So why do you want to submit a formal resume if you're only qualified for an internship?" Ellie said unceremoniously: "Go and apply for an unpaid kitchen internship resume, and there will be restaurants willing to accept you." Don't feel at a loss, everyone comes here like this, the kitchen is the world of the chef, the hierarchy is strict, you are a new graduate with no work experience, you should be grateful for the opportunity to go to a serious restaurant for an internship. Find an internship at a nice restaurant, and if you do well, the chef appreciates you and maybe gives you a formal job. However, I would recommend that you transfer to a few more internship restaurants, as chefs always prefer graduates with a lot of resumes. ”

Qian Qian hung up the phone and looked loveless. Transferring to a few more restaurants for unpaid internships proves that she has no income for at least half a year, which is really bad news, she wants to support herself as soon as possible, and she will open a pickle shop in the future, so she needs to save more capital.

"What's wrong?" Yun looked at Qian Qian, who had a gray face, with a strange expression: "What did your teacher say?" ”

"She asked me to do an unpaid internship." Qian Qian replied with a sad face: "This means that I have no income for at least half a year." What a bolt from the blue! ”

"What am I supposed to do?" Yun showed a big grin: "You have been supporting me for nearly two years, and then it is time for me to support you, you can rest assured to go to the internship, don't worry about rent and daily necessities, if you are short of money, tell me." ”

"How can this work?" Qian Qian shook his head: "You haven't graduated yet, and you don't have a serious income, how can you increase the burden on your family." ”

"Don't worry!" Yun laughed: "I've been taking on more oil painting copying work recently, so it's no problem to feed you." I've been supported by you for two years, and it's my turn to improve my economic status. ”

Looking at the big eyes that were gurgling in the clouds, Qian Qian couldn't help but smile: "I can ask my mother for money!" ”

"Don't." Yun shook his head: "I know you don't want to talk to her, she doesn't have a job in country E, and the money she gives you is your stepfather's, I know you don't want to cause them trouble." ”

Qian Qian was very grateful for her friend's kindness, she thought about it for a few seconds and finally smiled generously: "Then I'll trouble you next!" I can't take advantage of you for nothing, I'll pay it back, really. ”

"Who wants you to pay it back." Yun rolled his eyes: "I'm not losing money by repaying the money!" I ask that when you officially become a celebrity chef and open a restaurant, you will eat for nothing in your restaurant for a lifetime! ”

"Good!" Qian smiled lightly: "I'll let you eat for nothing for a lifetime!" ”

Qian Qian changed her strategy and submitted free internship resumes to many well-known restaurants with celebrity chefs, and this time she finally responded, four or five restaurants called her for an interview, Qian Qian consulted Alice's opinion, and finally chose a celebrity chef Daniel? A high-end restaurant in Brown's seat.

"It's a good start." Teacher Alice told Qian Qian: "The cultivation of a chef requires long-term training, and many students are eager to take charge of themselves after graduating from catering school, but it is actually unrealistic. It's better to spend more time working at the grassroots level under top chefs, on the one hand, to gain more knowledge, and on the other hand, to accumulate some contacts. In short, the more ambitious your aspirations, the more humble you should be to start. ”

Qian Qian listened carefully to Alice's advice and chose to intern at Chef Brown's restaurant. In fact, she does not have the ideal of being a top celebrity chef, but the situation is forced that her future boss Fu Qingyu is the world's top celebrity chef, and if she wants to work under him smoothly, she may not be able to be a celebrity chef. Her resume must be beautiful!

In this way, Qian Qian started an unpaid internship under the extremely strict Chef Brown. Chef Brown is a harsh man with a very bad temper, and if he repeats a mistake twice, he will be relentlessly scolded. On the first day he went to work, Qian Qian was scolded by him for being a stupid pig.

However, of course, the plane task force with strong psychological quality will not back down because of this difficulty, and Qian Qian is scolding while growing up with difficulty under the training of the restaurant chefs. Because she is quick with her hands and feet, never spares no effort in her work, and is very studious, over time, the chef of the restaurant has become more and more friendly to Qianqian.

It was also after an internship at the restaurant that Qian Qian learned about the difference between her, a graduate of a top culinary school, and a real chef. Brown has eight chefs under his command, all of whom are like martial arts masters, busy like spinning tops, fast but extremely precise.

In school, Qian Qian's knife skills are good, and she can win every competition such as killing lobsters and dividing crabs, but when she arrived at the real back kitchen, she found that she was a rookie who killed a lobster a minute and really had nothing to boast about, and the chef here divided the live lobster in half for a few seconds at most, and no matter how busy she was, the workbench was always clean and tidy.

In the beginning, Chef Brown didn't even allow Qian to touch the knife, she was doing some manual work such as serving soup, handing sauce, wiping the edges of plates, transporting plates to the entrance of the stage and calling the waiter to pick them up. Gradually, she began to peel potatoes, blanch tomatoes, peel shrimp, peel crab meat, wash cuttlefish, and it wasn't until two months later that Chef Brown allowed her to start cutting side dishes.

The division of duties in the back of the kitchen is very detailed, some people are responsible for making sauces, some people are responsible for fish, some people are responsible for vegetables, some people are responsible for cold dishes, some people are responsible for meat frying, and no one will cook a dish from beginning to end, unless the chef is experimenting with new dishes. Only the chef is creating, and everyone else is just working in a machine, so in fact, such a job internship has advantages and disadvantages for a chef, but excellent chefs come from this way, and Qian Qian can only work patiently.
