Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Kinds
Shi Chenghua's face was pale, his palms were clenched into fists, he didn't believe that he would lose!
Without saying a word, he stepped forward, picked up the bun made by Li Dongyang and tasted it, then his face changed, and he silently put down his chopsticks.
He lost!
Although he didn't want to believe it, the fact was that he lost, losing to a third-level pastry chef.
Gao Dian on the side really wanted to taste it, but there were too many people, and he couldn't taste it as if no one was around.
Hu Zheng looked at Wei Xu proudly and said, "Mr. Wei, it seems that your people can't do it." ”
Wei Xu looked at Hu Zheng's smug face, and wanted to punch it, he hummed in his heart, the villain has a will!
"Don't bother with it, the competition is not over yet, and it's useless to talk fast now." Wei Xu said.
Hu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Wei Xu, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, as far as you are a pastry chef who has forgotten almost the basics, no matter how many times you compare, the result will be the same." ”
"Hu Zheng, it's too early to say this, let's see!" Wei Xu said with a cold face.
"We'll see, we'll see." Hu Zheng said, and then left with Li Dongyang.
Wei Xu's face was pale, he had already lost twice in a row, but one could be two, and he couldn't do it again!
The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of others, and they were also people with heads and faces, so they naturally did not want others to hear such an indecent conversation.
Watching Hu Zheng leave, Wei Xu also understood in his heart that what Hu Zheng said was right.
Now in the kitchen of the Appreciation Building, except for the three first-class pastry chefs, the other pastry chefs have really forgotten the basics. They don't knead the dough with their own hands, which happens to be the basis of pastry.
If you forget the basics, then no matter how well you do elsewhere, you won't be much better.
But there's no way around it.
There are so many customers every day that it is impossible for every pastry chef to make noodles by himself, so it is too late.
It's the market's choice.
Wei Xu looked at the people in the kitchen and said in a deep voice: "If any of you can win, I will reward him with 20,000 yuan." ”
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the stimulation of 20,000 rewards makes some people who originally put out their minds alive again.
After saying this, Wei Xu didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
Gao Dian was a little moved, but he was just a little moved, and he didn't want to go up and lose face.
After packing up his things, Gao Dian went off work.
…………
"Master, I don't want to go." Li Dongyang said suddenly.
In the car.
Hu Zheng asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
"It's boring." Li Dongyang said.
"How can it be boring?" Hu Zheng asked.
"Those pastry chefs who have forgotten the basics are not interesting at all to compete with them, so it is better to let me practice alone." Li Dongyang said.
Hu Zheng's face turned grim and asked, "Do you think they are inferior to you?" ”
Li Dongyang nodded, although it was only after two competitions, he felt that he had figured out the strength of the master there.
As a taste building with the same name as the taste building, even in terms of fame and status, the taste building is a little higher than the taste building.
Before coming to the Taste Building, Li Dongyang was full of apprehension. He knew his strength very well, and he was not to the point where he could ignore the Appreciation Building.
So at the beginning, he was cautious, for fear that he would lose the competition, embarrass himself, embarrass his master, and embarrass Taste Lou.
The first victory gave him confidence, but the second victory today made him feel bored.
He thought it would be a dragon fight, but in fact, the pastry chef opposite didn't even have a solid foundation, and he was a little rusty about the noodle technique.
Seeing Li Dongyang's somewhat proud mentality, Hu Zheng said: "Do you really think that the two pastry chefs you won are not as good as you?" ”
Li Dongyang said: "They all lost to me. ”
"Confused! If you have such a mindset and thinking, then you will definitely lose badly afterwards. Hu Zheng scolded.
Li Dongyang was stunned and a little incomprehensible.
Hu Zheng explained: "Do you really think that people who can be admitted to the second-level pastry chef are very poor? In fact, according to the standard, you now have the level of a second-level pastry chef, but among the second-level pastry chefs, you are far from being very good. Of course, this is due to the fact that your time in the arts is too short. ”
Hearing Hu Zheng say this, Li Dongyang was even more puzzled.
"Master, according to what you say, I'm not very good, but why can't they win against me?" Li Dongyang asked.
"There are two kinds of pastry chefs, one is to earn money to support the family, and the other is to pursue higher skills." Hu Zheng said.
If Gao Dian was here, he would find that what Hu Zheng said was the same as what Wei Qiaoyi said.
Li Dongyang frowned and thought, and said after a while: "Master, you mean that the chefs in the Appreciation Building are all there to make money to support the family?" ”
"The current one is." Hu Zheng said.
"Is there any difference between the two?" Li Dongyang asked.
"Pastry chefs who make money to support their families are first and foremost working, and they do not have deep technical expertise, so for them, the skills are enough, and they don't have to be too demanding of themselves. And pastry chefs who pursue higher skills will be more strict with themselves, such as yourself. Hu Zheng explained.
Li Dongyang understood and said, "Master, why don't they pursue higher skills? If you have a higher level, you can also make more money. ”
Hu Zheng looked at his apprentice, Hu Zheng had followed him since a few years ago, he had not experienced much beating in society, and he was extremely talented, and he didn't understand some things.
"You can't ask people for what you want, you're talented, you can make money while pursuing a higher level of skill, but for most people, you can't have both. The pursuit of higher skills requires more time and energy, so how can you make money?
Everyone has their own difficulties, they may want to pursue higher skills, but due to the limitations of talent and life, they can only choose to support themselves first. Hu Zheng said.
Li Dongyang nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again: "Master, what I still don't understand is why I forget the basic skills?" ”
Hu Zheng said: "Due to the changes of the times, there are now many diners, and in order to increase efficiency, repeated and mechanical things like noodles will be handed over to machines or specialized people. ”
"Oh." Li Dongyang nodded.
"You have to remember that although the second-level pastry chefs you compete with are all the ones who make money to support their families, their strength should not be underestimated. Even if it is inferior to you on the foundation, it may not be inferior to you in other aspects. You were able to win so easily, not only because the foundation was better than them, but also because the recipe I taught you was better. Hu Zheng said.
"I understand, Master." Li Dongyang nodded and said.
"Well, it's good to understand."
Hu Zheng looked at his apprentice and was quite satisfied, how could an apprentice with good talent and obedience be bad?
Hu Zheng understands that if his apprentice fights hard for strength, he may be a little inferior. But he has some advantages that those chefs don't have, and that is that he has an exclusive pastry recipe.
