Chapter 176: The Exam Begins
I don't know how long I waited, but it was finally the turn of the chefs of Chihuo.
In this process, Chihuo can also be regarded as having learned Shao'an's shrewdness.
Obviously, this guy came in in the queue, but he was very measured.
The chefs at the back of the queue are already so low in the queue anyway. If you can receive some benefits, then it is not a big deal to give up your position.
What's more, they are not the only ones who give up their positions.
Even if the money you get from giving up the position is not too much, it is more or less a good mood, and it will also help you with the exam.
And when Shao'an reached the middle and back position, he stopped moving forward and stayed here.
Perhaps, this has something to do with Chihuo's location here, but more because Shao'an understands the situation.
If he goes too far, I'm afraid not only the chefs will protest, but perhaps even the officials here will interfere.
At that time, it is not something that can be easily solved by stuffing money.
β¦β¦
"Boy, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Just when it was Chihuo's turn to cook the chefs, Shao An suddenly approached and said viciously to Chihuo.
"You say." Chihuo replied with a nonchalant face.
"We'll bet on waiting for the exam for a while, and then let the examiner give us an evaluation. A loser is counted as a failure, even if he qualifies to pass the exam. Shao An said with a sneer.
This guy is too confident, right, he actually thinks he will lose?
Chihuo was a little surprised, but it was also natural. If it weren't for that, this guy wouldn't dare to claim to have learned all of Chef Abbey's cooking skills, and he would dare to say that he had surpassed Chef Abbey.
God knows, Chef Abbe is a big man who is feared even by the dark culinary world. It wasn't until after the death of Chef Abbe that the dark culinary world dared to carry out greater activities.
In the face of such Shao'an, Chihuo only sneered back.
"I promised." Chihuo is completely daring to fight, and he will not lose easily.
After Chihuo agreed, Shao An only continued to sneer arrogantly and stopped talking nonsense with Chihuo.
Maybe in Shao'an's opinion, talking more to a hairy boy like Chihuo is completely lowering the compulsion.
β¦β¦
After following the crowd in, a huge gong sound instantly spread in everyone's ears, and then the originally noisy sound disappeared in an instant.
An official wearing the official uniform of the imperial court, he waved his hands and said, "Everyone who has come to participate in the chef's special examination!" As is customary, I'm about to announce the exam questions in this place now! That's the title this timeβ"
With his voice, a vertical banner hung down from the city tower, and there were only one or two big characters on it - "spicy".
Before some people could figure out the situation, the second tip came down - "tofu".
Then the examiner's voice appeared again: "The exam is now held on the spot, you can apply to the examiner for ingredients!" Remember, you'll need to spend money on every ingredient. Depending on how much money you spend, and then according to the level of the final dish, your final score will be calculated. Above, the announcement is over! β
Chihuo understood after hearing this, and sure enough, such questions were much simpler than the exam questions in the super chef exam.
Spicy is the theme flavor, and tofu is the main ingredient, and a variety of dishes can be formed based on these two.
Mapo tofu is not the only dish that can be made, but because this dish is so famous, if there is no change, there will be more people who make it, and it will lose points from the examiner.
This is the first test difficulty, and the second test difficulty is also the amount of money.
Obviously, in the examiner's mind, there should be a clear price list of ingredients.
The more expensive the ingredients, the better, nor the cheaper the better, but the right one.
What kind of price and what kind of food should be made are also part of the exam.
The examiners should not be able to accept the kind of delicacy that is completely made of high-quality ingredients, after all, it will reduce the requirements for cooking skills.
Taking this aspect into account is the most appropriate evaluation.
"And because the questions are so simple, you don't have to be like a Master Chef exam, you have to spend time solving them before you create something new." Chihuo also understood the reason why he could take the exam immediately on the spot.
In the Master Chef exam, each person has a different answer because of the profound questions, and they have to create their own dishes according to the questions.
In other words, the super chef is no longer looking at the level of cooking, but more about the creativity.
However, the senior chef exam was not that tough, at least Chihuo said that there was no pressure at all.
Then, Chihuo, who had figured it out, continued to step forward with the crowd, and under the guidance of the examiner, came to the square not far away.
There are cooking stations all over the square, and there is a food section nearby where a lot of ingredients are piled up.
"Oh? It seems that there are not only restrictions on money, but also on ingredients? Chihuo saw another difficulty in the exam.
By restricting the type of ingredients, test takers are allowed to play under the restrictions.
However, the materials of normal mapo tofu are the most well-prepared, which may also be an invisible misleading......
If you really copy mapo tofu completely, most of this exam will undoubtedly fail.
Although a master chef doesn't need to pursue new ideas like a master chef, if you don't have any creativity at all, then you can only hehe.
Chihuo found that Shao An seemed to have said something to the examiner, and stuffed some money over, making the examiner nod for a while.
He understood that this was the basis for what Shaoan said about having the examiner mark them.
If you don't buy the examiners, the examiners can't score them specifically, and they won't make an exception because two people are competing against each other.
"Damn, it's all Ju downstairs's money." Chihuo looked at the fire in his heart.
You must know that Ju Xia's downstairs has a lot of funds, and seeing Shao'an abuse it like this, there is always a kind of grievance that cannot be spoken.
"Forget it, leave this bastard alone." Chihuo asked the examiner for some ingredients of his choice, then paid on the spot and returned to his assigned cooking table.
He found out that there were some chefs who didn't even bring money, and as a result, they were disqualified from the exam, which was really wrong.
However, this is also part of the exam.
For chefs, any environment will be encountered. Adequate preparation is necessary, and in addition to finding the ingredients in the wild, in fact, most of the chefs need to bring their own money and then use the money to buy the ingredients.
If you don't understand this, then you will only deserve to lose your qualification for the exam.
Here, even if some people move out the name of their restaurant, they don't let the examiner sell face.
"From this point of view, although Shao'an stuffed money, he may not have anything to do with some of these examiners." Chihuo was a little skeptical, could it be that Shao'an had already come into contact with the dark culinary world at this time?
It's not impossible, but there's another possibility.
It's nothing more than that Ju Xialou is too famous in Sichuan, so that people from other places are attracted to it.
This will have an impact on the business of other restaurants, and there will definitely be competitors in the business field.
Thinking that Shao'an should take the exam under the name of a Sichuan restaurant, it is naturally possible that it is really a good thing done by the competitors of Juxialou.
Perhaps, it is through the relationship between the other party that I have communicated with the examiner in advance, and now I am so easy to speak.
In this way, Shao'an dared to be arrogant outside, but no officials interfered, and the reason came out.
"If you only use evil ways, let me defeat you with the most orthodox cooking methods." Chihuo made up his mind.
