Hearing the man's question, Gao Dian suddenly became alert.

"What do you ask me for my name?" Gao Dian asked.

"No, I just think you're a little familiar, buddy." The man said with a smile.

Gao Dian didn't say his name, and the man didn't care, he continued: "Dude, discuss something." ”

"What's the matter?" Gao Dian looked at him.

Such a familiar tone made Gao Dian also have a headache, although he didn't want to pay attention to him, but it was not polite enough to do that.

"Will you be in the first batch or the second batch?" The man asked.

"The first batch, how?" Gao Dian asked.

"Hehe, in this way, won't you go to the exam in advance later, and remember to tell me about the exam questions you drew after you finish the exam." The man said.

Gao Dian wondered, "What are you doing with this?" ”

"You don't care about this brother, I'm useful anyway. You'll come out and tell me later, and I won't let you suffer. As he spoke, the man made a gesture, rubbing his index finger and thumb against each other.

Gao Dian understood this gesture, but he couldn't deny it, and he didn't immediately agree, and he was still very puzzled in his heart.

"Even if you want to cheat, it's useless, you know that you still have to draw the exam questions yourself, and you may not be able to draw the exam questions I draw." Gao Dian said.

When the man heard this, he approached Gao Dian and whispered: "Brother, I see that you are in love, I will talk to you about this matter, you are not allowed to tell others!" ”

Gao Dian nodded and agreed.

Gao Dian is not interested in this kind of thing at all, he is just a little curious.

The man said, "Brother, do you know that the exam questions are actually fixed. ”

Gao Dian nodded and said: "There are only so many types of pastries, and some unpopular ones must be excluded, which are naturally fixed." ”

Although the questions are fixed, the types added together are not small, and the probability of two people drawing the same two questions is very small anyway.

The man laughed: "Then do you know that there are several examination rooms?" ”

Gao Dian nodded, of course he knew about it.

There are not a few candidates, and it may take a lot of time for all of them to gather together for the exam. In order to save time and improve efficiency, the examination room is divided into several rooms.

Gao Dian's location is just one of the examination rooms.

"I'll tell you a secret, the questions are different in each exam room." The man whispered.

"What do you mean?" Gao Dian asked.

"It is to divide all the exam questions into several parts, one for each exam room, so the questions in each exam room are different." The man whispered.

Hearing the man's words, Gao Dian's heart suddenly changed.

This is actually understandable, there are so many types, how many ingredients do you add up?

Even if there are not many of them, they should not be underestimated.

And the question arises, what if no one has been drawn for certain types? Isn't the prepared ingredients wasted?

Therefore, there are many advantages to separating the exam questions, there are not so many ingredients to prepare in each exam room, and the probability of a certain type of pastry not being drawn will also be reduced.

Of course, there are unfairness, but where is it that perfect?

The man continued: "You should understand that a pastry chef's energy is limited, and the types of pastries that you can make and the types of pastries you can't make are completely different things. ”

Gao Dian nodded, of course he knew that there was an element of luck in the second-level pastry chef's exam, if you were lucky, you could pass it once, and if you were unlucky, you might have to take the exam several times.

Those who dare to take the second-level pastry chef exam still have a level, and if they really don't have a level, most of them won't come to participate.

This exam is not free, I am not sure to take it, isn't it a brain pump?

If you draw the type you will do, not to mention 100% of it, you are still 80% sure.

"But even so, it's useless if you know, you can't change the ....." Gao Dian said this, and suddenly stopped.

He looked at the man in front of him with a strange look.

"Now you understand, right?" The man said triumphantly.

"So you can change the exam room? You weren't one of the first to take the exam? Gao Dian asked.

"Hehe, low-key and low-key, buddy, I just have a little relationship, and I can't do the designated exam questions, but it's still okay to change the exam room."

Gao Dian now completely understands, why does this person want to let him tell him what the exam question is, it turns out that he can change the exam room at any time.

"Dude, how's it going? Think about it, in this way, I can give you a promise, if you don't take the exam this time, you come to my brother, and my brother will help you change the exam room next year? The man said.

"Remember my name, my name is Liu Junbo, and then come to me."

When Gao Dian heard this, he was not interested in it at all.

"Forget it, I'll try my best to pass, as for the matter of changing the exam room, it shouldn't be needed for the time being."

"Dude, don't talk so much, what do you mean you shouldn't need? If you want to say that you are a first-class pastry chef, I won't say anything, but obviously you are not. Liu Junbo said.

"You're right, you really shouldn't be talking so much, but I still want to work hard to pass the exam on my own." Gao Dian said with a smile.

"You don't know how to cherish the opportunity, you don't know how many people begged me, but I didn't give him this opportunity." Liu Junbo hated that iron could not become steel.

Gao Dian smiled: "But yes, I'm a dead brain." ”

Seeing that Gao Dian couldn't make sense, Liu Junbo sighed and said, "Don't tell others what you just said", after saying that, seeing Gao Dian agree, he turned around and looked for others.

Liu Junbo's matter can only be regarded as an episode for Gao Dian.

Even if Liu Junbo didn't tell him, he didn't have the heart to raise anything.

In fact, Liu Junbo said that he just changed the examination room, although it can be regarded as cheating, but it is much better than the person who directly specifies the pastry.

He stood at the door and waited, and after a while, the exam began.

Gao Dian lined up and walked into the exam room.

At the door, there are some boxes, and when everyone passes by, they have to draw lots, and the topic of the draw is the pastry you will make later.

Two tickets will be drawn for each person, as there are two questions that will be drawn.

Gao Dian was lucky, and the two titles he drew were "Dumplings and Pies".

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The dumplings themselves will be, and the pie will happen to be.

This is thanks to his improvement of the lily crisp, because it is necessary to combine two kinds of lily cakes, one of which is a pie.

At that time, he deliberately went to find out, and tried to do it, not to say anything good and excellent, at least there is no problem in making a qualified,

As for the free play of the pastry, for Gao Dian, it is even simpler.

Walking into the examination room, Gao Dian found that the invigilator was also one of the judges, and he actually knew him!

This person is Shen Yue.

When I first participated in the training of the International Young Chef Cooking Competition, I was in the same training team as Gao Dian.

In the third stage of training, when Gao Dian was the first champion, the first person to challenge was Shen Yue.

However, Shen Yue was eliminated later and did not enter the final list.

When Shen Yue saw Gao Dian, he was also a little shocked in his heart.

This is the second-level pastry chef exam, why is Gao Dian among the candidates?

Then, he suddenly remembered something.

With Gao Dian's results, many people have overlooked a problem, Gao Dian is not actually a first-level pastry chef, but a third-level pastry chef.

Of course, his strength is there, and no one will treat him as a third-level pastry master.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yue's mouth, a pastry chef who passed the test and won the runner-up among the first-level pastry chefs actually came to take the second-level pastry chef exam?

This scene. If it weren't for Shen Yue's own eyes, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe.

It's like if you've graduated from graduate school and then go to junior high school entrance exams.

The two didn't speak, just nodded to each other, which was kind of a greeting.

Even if they know each other, now it's a serious examination room, and if the two of them want to catch up or something, they have to go out and talk about it.

Gao Dian didn't expect that Shen Yue was actually in the same city as him.

At that time, the chefs in the training team came from all over the world, and Gao Dian didn't know who was from where.

Gao Dian looked for the ingredients and began to make the pastry, his expression was serious and serious, although these three pastries were not too difficult for him, but ...... He is used to making every pastry seriously.

His speed was very fast, and although the exam was only two hours away, these two hours were completely enough under Gao Dian's clever arrangement.

DumplingsHe chose to make the simplest dumplings filled with pork and cabbage, and this kind of dumplings are sold very well in his store.

As for the white jade jade dumplings, you can't find the ingredients you need here.

For the pie, he chose a lily crisp, which was different from the one he had learned before, but a lily crisp with lily flowers wrapped in the filling.

Strictly speaking, it is not too accurate to call it a lily shortbread, and the truly accurate name should be a lily shortbread.

Feel free to play that dish, Gao Dian chose knife-cut noodles, and the soup base was the most ordinary pork bone soup.

There are many pastries in pies, and mooncakes are also a type of pie.

The classification of pastries is actually very complicated, and the classification standards are different, and the pastries included are also different.

The lily shortbread is not very complicated to make, and the filling is made of peanuts, dates, sesame seeds and other ingredients, mixed with lily petals.

If the pie has a filling, it must also have an outer skin, and the skin of the lily shortbread is made in a similar way to mille-feuille. It is to fold the dough and puff pastry dough repeatedly through water and then roll it out.

Due to the different properties of the two types of dough, there will be layering, one layer on top of the other, as if there are thousands of layers.

The lily cake that Gao Dian will meet actually adopts this principle.

Once the puff pastry is made, wrapped, and baked in the oven.

At this time, you can start to make dumplings, roll out the skin and wrap the filling, in one go, and the action is very skillful.

Save the shaved noodles for last, as the soup base of the shaved noodles still needs time to cook.

Over time, quite a few people have completed their exams.

Some are qualified, and go out happily.

Some were unqualified and left with disappointed faces.

There are fewer and fewer people left in the examination room, and Gao Dian is one of them.

The bone broth he boiled, the fragrance of which could be smelled in the whole examination room, seemed to have magical power, and it touched everyone's nose.

…………

At the invigilator's office, the two first-level pastry chefs exchanged heads and whispered to each other.

The second-level pastry chef exam is only, and it is enough to have the first-level pastry chef invigilated.

It's not easy to be a first-class pastry chef if you want to move.

When people come, it is basically voluntary labor, there is not much benefit, and there are not many people who are willing to come.

Of course, there are not many exam rooms, and two invigilators in one exam room are enough.

The first-class pastry chef present was the youngest Shen Yue, and the other was a middle-aged man named Guo Shilei.

"The taste of this pork bone soup is very fragrant." Guo Shilei said.

He looked at the examination room, found Gao Dian at a glance, pointed at Gao Dian and said, "That young man did it, I didn't expect to meet a talent in the first game." ”。

Shen Yue saw that he was talking about Gao Dian, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you recognize who he is?" ”

When Guo Shilei heard this, he secretly said in his heart, what is the origin of this person?

"Who is he? I really didn't recognize it. Guo Shilei said.

"He is Gao Dian, the runner-up of this year's International Young Chef Cooking Competition, the white case chef group." Shen Yue said.

When Guo Shilei heard this, he immediately wanted to go to this competition.

He knew about this competition and had followed it for a while, but because of his work, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Gao Dian hadn't shown up for a long time, so he really hadn't recognized Gao Dian.

"He's a runner-up, and he's also coming to take the second-level pastry chef exam!" Guo Shilei said incredulously.

Shen Yue smiled: "People are just a third-level pastry chef, and it's not normal to come to take the second-level pastry chef's exam." ”

Guo Shilei rolled his eyes, "These third-level pastry chefs have turned a group of first-level pastry chefs over." ”

Shen Yue nodded and didn't say anything more.

Guo Shilei didn't speak, his eyes stared at Gao Dian.

Gao Dian finished the pastry and brought it to the two invigilators.

Guo Shilei suddenly became interested, he wanted to taste what the level of this runner-up was.

He is considered a senior first-class pastry chef, although he has not become a special first-class pastry chef, but his level is also considered to be an upstream level among the first-class pastry chefs.

A young first-class pastry chef like Shen Yue is only at the downstream level.

Of course, the younger Shen is, the more possibilities there are in the future. And Guo Shilei is old, so he can only be like this in this life.

The dumplings are ok, but the lily shortbread is quite ordinary.

In terms of grading, the dumplings reached an excellent level, while the lily shortbread reached a good level, both exceeding the passing level.

But in Guo Shilei's eyes, this level of good seems very ordinary.

He treats Gao Dian as a chef of the same level, judging by the level of a first-class pastry chef, which naturally seems a little ordinary.

Next is the knife-cut noodles, he tasted it, and his heart was quite emotional.

This noodle is of an impeccable standard and is considered standard for a first-class pastry chef.

What really made Guo Shilei sigh was that Gao Dian's knife-cut noodles had reached the midstream level of a first-class pastry chef in his opinion.

This is a high evaluation, you must know how young Gao Dian is, and he has already reached the midstream level.

He has only been at the upper level for the rest of his life.
