Chapter 209: Decision
Both of them are cat ears that they have just learned, and they are not too good at it, but they can do it.
agreed to the competition, Gao Dian naturally didn't think about releasing water or anything.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just a friendly competition.
Gao Dian did his best, which is a practice of respecting his opponent.
The girl in front of her looked young, but Gao Dian didn't dare to underestimate it.
She is Gu Tongzhou's apprentice, and it is estimated that she has been laying the foundation since she was very young, and her basic skills should be extremely solid.
The two of them started to make noodles separately, the recipe was the same, and the steps of the two did not seem to be much different.
Mix the dough, knead and wake up
Gao Dian gradually entered a state of concentration, and cat ears took shape in his hands.
On the other side, Zhang Yafei also made cat ears.
After the cat ears are done, the difference is not very big from the appearance alone, and it may be because both of them are beginners.
The cat ears still need to be boiled to know whether they are good or bad.
Cat ears are eaten in a similar way to noodles, boiled in water and mixed with your favorite seasoning.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the cat ears cooked by the two of them were considered to be lunch.
"Uncle Xiao, you eat what I made, I eat what you made, let's exchange it." Zhang Yafei said.
"Okay." Gao Dian agreed without thinking about it.
There was no judge or anything present, so the two naturally had to exchange to eat, so that they could know the superiority.
Soon, two bowls of steaming cat ears were ready.
"Wow! It looks pretty good. Zhang Yafei said, "I'm going to start first!" ”
Zhang Yafei took the chopsticks, picked up a cat ear and put it in his mouth.
The chic shape brings a strange taste, smooth and elastic.
"It's delicious." Zhang Yafei said.
It's hard for her to imagine that this is a beginner's made.
Gao Dian looked at the cat ears made by Zhang Yafei and fell into silence for a while, how did this bowl of cat ears look a little sticky.
The shape of the cat's ears is still intact, but it doesn't look refreshing.
He thought about it, but still picked up a tasting.
The whole time, Gao Dian ate it with a frown.
It's not unpalatable, but it's definitely not delicious.
Zhang Yafei looked at Gao Dian expectantly and asked, "How is it?" Is it tasty? ”
Gao Dian silently moved the bowl over and said, "Taste it yourself." ”
Zhang Yafei tasted it herself, and her whole face suddenly collapsed.
"It's unpalatable!"
Gao Dian did not speak.
Zhang Yafei asked curiously: "Uncle Xiao, why is your cooking so delicious, while my cooking is so unpalatable?" It's all the same thing. ”
Gao Dian said: "I don't know, otherwise, you can do it again and I'll take a look." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yafei nodded, got up and remade.
"Uncle Junior, how is it? What am I doing wrong? Zhang Yafei asked.
Gao Dian's face was a little strange, and he asked, "How long have you been learning pastry?" ”
Zhang Yafei counted with her fingers, "It's been two or three years, what's wrong?" ”
"Why is your foundation so poor?" Gao Dian asked.
He didn't see Zhang Yafei do it before, but now when he looks at it, he knows what the problem is.
Zhang Yafei said with a slumped face: "Sure enough, the foundation is too poor, but the foundation is so difficult to practice, and it's boring." ”
Gao Dian shook his head and didn't say anything, the foundation is really not good to practice.
"Uncle Junior, do you have any tricks?" Zhang Yafei asked.
"Study hard and practice hard." Gao Dian said.
Immediately, Gao Dian didn't say anything to her, and practiced his own by himself.
Time passed slowly, and it was a few more days.
In the past few days, Zhang Yafei often asked Gao Dian questions, and Gao Dian answered them one by one, and he did not hide his secrets.
It was only in later contact that he learned that Zhang Yafei apprenticed very early, but she didn't learn cooking all the time, and she had to take care of her studies a lot of time.
So her foundation is poor, and it's not all because she's afraid of being tired and doesn't want to practice, mainly because she doesn't have too much time.
Gao Dian felt that it was time to leave, so he found Gu Tongzhou and said his thoughts about leaving.
This time, Gu Tongzhou didn't stop him, but just gave him another piece of paper, which said another pastry.
Gao Dian asked with some surprise: "Old Gu, why is this?" ”
"Kang Nanzhi was offended a lot before, and thanks to you for teaching Zhang Yafei during this time, this can be regarded as an apology and a thank you gift." Gu Tongzhou said.
"Gu Lao, whether it's an apology or a thank you, I can't accept it. The conflict between Kang Nanzhi and me is my business with him, and it has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you to apologize. I can't talk about teaching Zhang Yafei, I can only say that the two of us learn from each other and make progress together. Gao Dian said seriously.
"Then this is my old man's meeting gift to the juniors." Gu Tongzhou said with a smile.
Gao Dian refused again: "Old Gu, you are going to see the outside." What kind of greeting gift is not a greeting gift, besides, I have already learned two hands from you. ”
Gu Tongzhou said with a straight face: "If you refuse again, I will be really angry." ”
Gao Dian smiled bitterly and could only accept it.
Then, Gao Dian left Gu Tongzhou's study and went to pack his things and prepare to leave.
Gu Tongzhou sighed silently in his heart, in fact, he really didn't think about teaching too many high canons, and when he said two hands, it was two hands.
But Kang Nanzhi and Gao Dian had a conflict, although it has nothing to do with him directly, but he, as a master, can't really care about anything.
That's all he can do, and it's up to them what happens after that.
After packing up his things, Gao Dian left Gu Tongzhou's place.
The next city, Gao Dian already has an idea.
He bought a ticket at the station and was about to get on the train when his cell phone rang.
It's the teacher's phone.
Gao Dian picked it up, "Teacher." ”
"I'm in City B, I'll send you the address, you come to me." Wei Lianzhang said.
Gao Dian: ???
Why, I can't leave this B city, right?
I didn't leave twice in a row, and this time I bought a ticket, but I didn't get on the bus yet, and the teacher came to City B.
What else can I do, I can only go to find a teacher.
The ticket can't be refunded, he was about to get on the bus, how can he refund the ticket?
Gao Dian got out of the station and rushed to the address where the teacher was.
It's a tea house, the location is remote and quiet.
Standing outside, Gao Dian smelled the fragrance of tea, he didn't know much about tea, he didn't know what kind of tea this tea was, and he didn't know what it was.
He walked in, came to the second floor, pushed open a private room, and the smell of tea was stronger.
The person sitting inside was his teacher Wei Lianzhang.
"Teacher." Gao Dian shouted.
"Come and sit." Wei Lianzhang said with a smile.
When Gao Dian heard this, he walked over and sat down.
"Teacher, why did you suddenly come to City B?" Gao Dian asked curiously.
"I came for you." Wei Lianzhang poured a cup of tea and said.
Gao Dian was stunned for a moment, and deliberately came to find his own?
"Teacher, if you have something to say on the phone, you don't have to come here." Gao Dian said.
"I couldn't say it clearly on the phone, and I haven't been to City B for a long time, so I just came over to take a look, but I didn't expect this teahouse to be there." Wei Lianzhang said with a smile.
"Teacher, have you been in City B before?" Gao Dian asked.
"After a few years, this is the land of pastries, and you can learn a lot here." Wei Lianzhang said with a smile.
Gao Dian nodded, he could indeed learn a lot here, he didn't stay here for long, and he felt that he had learned a lot.
"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gao Dian asked.
When Wei Lianzhang heard this, he was silent for a while before he said, "I thought about this matter for a long time, and finally decided to come over and talk to you." ”
"Teacher, what the hell is going on?" Gao Dian became more and more curious.
"At the beginning of next year, there will be a cooking competition for young chefs from around the world." Wei Lianzhang said.
When Gao Dian heard this, he guessed: "Teacher, do you mean to let me participate in this competition?" ”
Wei Lianzhang shook his head and said, "Not exactly. ”
"What's that?" Gao Dian was even more confused.
"You listen to me first, and you'll know later." Wei Lianzhang said.
Gao Dian nodded, listening to Wei Lianzhang speak slowly.
There was no World Young Chef Cooking Competition before, but there was a World Chef Cooking Competition, but there was no word "youth".
The World Chef Cooking Competition, there is no age limit, and you can usually see all kinds of gods fighting, and those who can win are the world's top chefs.
The World Young Chef Cooking Competition is different, with the word "youth" added, which also limits the age of participation.
Only chefs of the right age to participate in this competition are allowed to participate.
This is a competition between young chefs from all over the world, but because it is world-class, even young chefs are full of gods.
This cooking competition is divided into two parts, according to Hua Guo, one part is the competition of the red case chef, and the other part is the competition of the white case chef.
The two matches do not interfere with each other and are played at the same time.
The competition was held in Huaguo, which is the country with the most cuisines in the world and the country with the longest food culture.
"This tournament is very important, we are only allowed to win, not to lose." Wei Lianzhang said.
Gao Dian understood a little, and he said, "Teacher, are you afraid that my strength is not enough? ”
Wei Lianzhang nodded without hesitation, "There is indeed this consideration, your current cooking skills can be regarded as the top in your generation." But among the young chefs, your cooking skills are much worse. ”
Gao Dian said: "Since this is the case, then I will not participate." ”
Wei Lianzhang said: "This competition is a gathering of the world's top young chefs, if you can see it, it will be of great benefit to you." ”
When Gao Dian heard this, he was silent for a while and asked, "Teacher, who will participate in this competition?" ”
Wei Lianzhang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”
"Because of the importance of this competition, there is no direct determination of the contestants. There are too many chefs in China, and there are countless young chefs.
Therefore, we decided to use a selection method to select the players who participated in the competition. ”
Gao Dian asked: "That means to hold a selection competition in China?" ”
Wei Lianzhang shook his head and said, "No, I'll talk about this later." Think about it first, do you want to go to the race, or do you want to continue traveling? ”
Gao Dian smiled bitterly: "Teacher, I don't know, why don't you tell the teacher." ”
Wei Lianzhang said: "The road is yours, no matter what others say, it's just a suggestion, and it is up to you to really decide to take that road."
What I can tell you is that you are not good enough to cook now, and even if you choose to participate in the competition, you may be eliminated and end up not participating in the competition.
However, this competition is very rare and if you are able to participate and interact with the best young chefs in the world, you will definitely benefit a lot. ”
Gao Dian was silent
It doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about, it's good to go to the competition, but if you don't have enough skills, you're likely to be eliminated, and you can't even touch the threshold of the competition.
No matter how big the benefit is, it is useless if you can't participate in the competition.
Wei Lianzhang was not in a hurry, waiting for Gao Dian to make a decision slowly.
As he said, this time he came to find Gao Dian, in fact, he thought about it for a long time.
Gao Dian's current level is really not enough to participate in the competition, but isn't there still a few months before the competition, what if, in case Gao Dian reaches the level of participation in these months, then wouldn't it be a pity not to participate?
But this hope is very slim, if Gao Dian chooses to participate in the competition, and in the end he can't be selected, it will delay him a lot of time.
Gao Dian made a decision.
"Teacher, I want to participate!" Gao Dian said.
"Have you thought about it?" Wei Lianzhang asked.
"I've figured it out." Gao Dian said.
How wonderful would it be to have the best young chefs in the world come together?
Gao Dian felt that if he didn't participate, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
As for whether he can be selected in the end, Gao Dian can only say that he will be done!
He has one more plug-in than others, what is there to be afraid of, isn't there still a few months left in the game.
"You can decide, but I have to warn you in advance that if you choose to participate, you may have to spend months of painful time, so you need to be prepared." Wei Lianzhang said.
Gao Dian nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I'm not afraid." ”
"That's good." Wei Lianzhang had a smile on his face.
"I just saw that your things were packed, so come with me." Wei Lianzhang got up and said.
"Let's go? Where to? Gao Dian was stunned.
Wei Lianzhang said: "You'll know when you get to the place." ”
Gao Dian answered, stood up and followed behind Wei Lianzhang.
After taking a taxi outside, Wei Lianzhang took Gao Dian straight to the airport.
During the whole process, I didn't worry about Gao Dian, and everything was arranged.
The plane was in first class, and this was the first time Gao Dian had taken first class.
It feels no different from economy class, that is, it is more spacious, less people, more food, better flight attendant service, and more comfortable chairs.
Gao Dian thinks that there is not much difference!
"Sleep, you probably won't have time to sleep after that." Wei Lianzhang said.
When Gao Dian heard this, he was shocked, where is this going? I didn't even have time to sleep!
He obediently lay down and slept, and it was better to listen to the teacher's words.
Soon, the plane landed.
