Unlike the white and soft hands of the clouds, Qian Qian's hands are always scarred, and in the kitchen, it is common to cut his hands, and even well-known chefs cannot guarantee that he will not make such low-level mistakes.

This is the life of a cook, extremely trivial and toiling, and not romantic. Sometimes a group of cooks get together and jokingly stretch out their hands to compare the scars on their hands like medals. The school teacher once said: smooth and delicate jade hands will not have a place in the kitchen, and the scars and cracks on your hands are the best chef's medals.

The kitchen is an alchemy field for testing appearance, and every time Qian Qian thinks of the words and sentences in the original script that describe the appearance of the male protagonist, he is skeptical. Really handsome guy spotlessly clean in the kitchen?? Is it possible?!!

The real chef's uniform is not like the slim-cut white pants on TV, but the beauty is completely out of consideration, the loose white top, the high-waisted, wide-hip fat black pants, for the sake of cleaning convenience, everyone will be like a clown to tie the hem of the trousers, it is simply not imaged.

Even if you are a handsome guy with excellent appearance, can you look good when you wear this outfit, plus a chef's hat that can't look like a haircut at all? Not to mention the work of the chef, every day is to live under the fumigation of high-temperature oil smoke and steam, almost everyone in the back kitchen has a shiny face, and the image is very embarrassed, where are the handsome guys and beauties? ! It's not about making TV.

"I'm guessing you're jealous." 7788 pursed his lips in disgust: "If you are ugly, you suspect that everyone in the world is as ugly as you." ”

Qian Qian is noncommittal. She's just jealous?! I'm tired and tired every day, but I can still keep it clean and good-looking, can I not make people jealous!!

As an internationally renowned culinary school, of course, you will learn not only authentic cuisine from country F, but also cuisine from all over the world. In the second semester, the school invited a chef from the first country to teach Qian Qian's southern style risotto, gnocchi, tiramisu and beef stew in red wine.

After learning the cuisine of Country I, the chubby teacher Alice began to spread out a large map and began to introduce the cuisine of Qian Qian's hometown to the students. Qian Qian's hometown cuisine belongs to a completely different cooking system from the cuisine of country F, and the school will not specially invite a chef to come and teach it carefully like the cuisine of country I, but only let the students have a general understanding. But it was also at this time that Qian Qian heard the name of the male protagonist for the first time.

"Fu Qingyu, a genius student who graduated from our school before," Chef Alice introduced with a proud face: "It's a native of country Z, it's a genius!" I've been teaching cooking for so many years, and I've never seen a chef with such enthusiasm and aura! You're all inferior to him! ”

Qian Qian: Is it really good to hit a piece like this......

"At present, the trend of fusion without borders is very popular, you should study hard, learn about exotic cuisine well, and don't ignore it." Chef Alice announced with a serious face: "Next, we will learn to make dumplings." ”

Qian Qian finally has a skill that can crush the whole class!! The three-year vocational high school career is not in vain, she wraps her dumplings quickly and well, not only does she wrap her dumplings well, she is also responsible for distinguishing the various spices on the table for the classmates who are all over the face, and a class is so busy that it is like a spinning top, and people keep asking her for help with a broken face.

"Hao, help me see, why can't this skin be pinched!"

"Xiangxiang, is this soy sauce or vinegar?"

"Are bean paste and sweet sauce the same thing?"

"Help me see which is the sesame oil written in the recipe."

After a busy day, Qian Qian felt that she would definitely receive praise this time, and she confidently brought her dumplings to Teacher Alice, who was very skilled in picking up a dumpling with chopsticks in front of her, dipping it in vinegar and stuffing it into her mouth.

"Hmmm! Not bad! Better than others! Alice nodded, but before Qian Qian was happy, she added: "But it's still far worse than your genius chef Fu Qingyu in country Z." I taught him that the dumplings he made were delicious. ”

Looking at Alice's intoxicated aftertaste, Qian Qian silently stuffed his dumplings. Before we met, I was crushed by this legendary male protagonist.,She really doesn't have a good impression of this legendary genius now.。

Although the days of learning to cook in school were hard but fulfilling, the twenty-two months passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the money was about to graduate.

The day before the graduation exam, Qian Qian was unprecedentedly nervous, and it was a little like the feeling she felt when she went to the battlefield for the first time as a general, crossing so many planes and studying so many majors, this was the first time she felt nervous because of the exam!

Yun is very confident in Qian Qian, she has eaten so much food cooked by Qian Qian, and has a kind of blind and brainless admiration for Qian Qian, feeling that her roommate is the best in the world in cooking, and the rice sold outside is not as delicious as Hao Xiangxiang's cooking.

On the days of Qian Qian's exam, Yun deliberately skipped class to accompany the exam, and went out to cooking school with Qian Qian early in the morning. The chef exam takes a long time, the first day is a three-hour theory test, short answers, essays, multiple-choice questions, the questions are not difficult, but the amount of questions is very large, and the money is shallow to answer the papers.

The last three days are the practical exams, one day of basic operations, one day of main dishes, one day of appetizers and desserts, and the basic items and exam dishes are determined by lot. Qian Qian was very unlucky to get the clear soup in the basic project, and she was the last to complete it in the entire examination room.

The French consommé is extremely tedious to make, you need to first break the whole chicken or duck skeleton and beef bones, add onions, carrots, celery and other side dishes to roast until golden brown, then add water and herbs and simmer over low heat, while simmering while skimming the foam, until the soup is full of umami, the whole stock is filtered, and the rest of the soup is put in the refrigerator, and then taken out after it is completely solidified into soup jelly, and the coagulated oil is cleaned.

However, such a clear soup is not even a semi-finished product, and only after that is the important purification step, and the success or failure is in one fell swoop. Qian Qian first stirred half a pound of beef and tomatoes together, added egg whites and eggshells, stirred together, and then poured the ground meat into the lukewarm broth and slowly heated, while heating with a whisk kept stirring, the heat must be controlled, otherwise it is likely to be wasted.

After about fifteen minutes, the soup boiled, and Qian Qian stopped stirring, staring at his soup with bated breath, secretly hoping that he would not fail. A few minutes later, the minced beef and egg whites in the pot suddenly tumbled together on the surface, with gray residue, the residue became thicker and thicker, and the color became more and more gray, like a lid on the surface of the soup, and after a while, the thick gray lid suddenly cracked, revealing a crystal clear soup.

However, this is not the end, Qian Qian carefully took out these clear soups one by one, and then poured them into a conical strainer covered with cotton cloth, and slowly filtered them like straining coffee, and it took a long time to strain a pot of soup. This kind of soup is still unqualified, because there is still a little oil slick that has slipped through the net, Qian Qian wrapped the veil with ice cubes, and gently cleaned up the oil slick on the surface of the soup until a bowl of clear soup is pure and flawless, and then add a small amount of wine to taste, sprinkle in the shredded vegetables that have been cut and scalded in advance, and serve it to the examiner.

After such a lot of effort, only getting such a small bowl of soup is a luxury and waste to the extreme, and it is good to look at the expressions of the examiners, and he is still satisfied with Qian Qian's performance, which makes Qian Qian greatly relieved.
