Chapter 298: Accepting Students
There was a knock at the door, and Wei Lianzhang asked, "Who?" ”
"Teacher, it's me, Gao Dian."
Outside the door, Gao Dian returned.
"Crunch~"
The door opened, and Wei Lianzhang looked at Gao Dian and said, "Come in." ”
Gao Dian walked in and immediately frowned, he smelled a very strong smell of medicine.
However, Gao Dian didn't take it seriously, the teacher was old and it was normal for him to be sick.
He turned and closed the door.
"You're not open today?" Wei Lianzhang asked.
"Take a day off today." Gao Dian said.
Wei Lianzhang nodded, "Well, there is a degree of relaxation, and it is good to know how to rest." Some young people don't care about their bodies in order to make money, but they don't know that their bodies are the capital. ”
Hearing this, Gao Dian just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.
What he can actually understand is not that everyone really doesn't care about their bodies and does everything in order to make money.
It's just that it can't be helped, most young people are under a lot of pressure.
"What did you come to me for?" Wei Lianzhang asked.
"Teacher, I have a question for you." Gao Dian said.
"Tell me about it." Wei Lianzhang said softly.
"Teacher, I have an employee who wants to learn to cook, and I wanted to recommend him to other seniors, but when I tested his talent, I found that his talent was not good. You say, what should I do now? Gao Dian said.
"You didn't think about taking in apprentices yourself?" Wei Lianzhang asked with a smile.
Gao Dian shook his head and said, "I myself am still in the learning stage, where do I have any qualifications to accept apprentices." ”
Wei Lianzhang said with a smile: "You are indeed a little short of accepting apprentices now." I'm glad you can see that. ”
Gao Dian smiled, he has nothing else, and he still has self-knowledge.
To many people, I am afraid that this is a joke, a first-class pastry master is not qualified to accept apprentices, and I am afraid that there are very few qualified people.
Actually, this is a different standard.
There are many first-level pastry masters who accept apprentices, and even second-level pastry masters accept apprentices.
But people like Wei Lianzhang, Hu Dekun, and Wei Qiaoyi, whom Gao Dian had been in contact with from the beginning, naturally benchmarked against them.
He felt that although he was a first-class pastry master, he had insufficient accumulation and was not qualified to accept apprentices.
"You don't take him as an apprentice, but it doesn't prevent you from teaching him, you can take him as a student." Wei Lianzhang said meaningfully.
When Gao Dian heard this, he was shocked and said, "Accept him as a student?" ”
Immediately, Gao Dian frowned and said, "Teacher, is there any difference between this?" It's all about teaching others, and I shouldn't be qualified to be apprentices and students. ”
Wei Lianzhang smiled: "It's different. ”
Gao Dian looked at him suspiciously, and Wei Lianzhang said: "An apprentice is an apprentice, a student is a student, and the teaching methods are different. ”
These words made Gao Dian even more puzzled, he was Wei Lianzhang's student, and he didn't feel any difference. Of course, the teacher's apprentices have already become famous, and he can't feel it.
Wei Lianzhang said: "Apprentices inherit the mantle, let me tell you this, when you reach my level, you will definitely not accept apprentices with ordinary talents." Because of the ordinary talent, there are some things that can't be learned, and the mantle can't be inherited. ”
Gao Dian nodded, it's true, the apprentice's talent is too poor, and he can't learn many things, so how can he pass on his cooking skills?
Therefore, the higher the level, the stricter the acceptance of apprentices, not only the test of talent, but also the aspects of character.
"Those with good talent are taught by the master, but what about those with ordinary talents? Did you just give up? Wei Lianzhang asked.
Gao Dian faintly grasped the teacher's meaning, and he said: "Teacher, you mean that those with ordinary talent will be accepted as students?" ”
Wei Lianzhang nodded and said, "That's it." Students can teach a little shallower, because they can't learn too deeply; You can teach it slowly, it's too fast for them to adapt; You can even teach them a little narrower, only teach them one or two pastries, too many of them can't learn well.
All in all, teaching students according to their aptitude, teaching students has the way of teaching students, and teaching students has the way of teaching students. ”
Gao Dian understood, and sat there pondering.
In fact, Wei Lianzhang is still a person of the older generation, although many ideas are different from the older generation, but he has also been influenced by the older generation.
Gao Dian still can't see through these.
After a while, Gao Dian hesitated and asked, "Teacher, can I really teach students?" ”
It's no wonder that Gao Dian is not confident, he is still a student, and he is still studying hard. In a blink of an eye, let him be a teacher to teach others, and he was somewhat unsure of his heart.
Wei Lianzhang said with a smile: "Don't worry about teaching, you have the level of a first-class pastry chef, what are you afraid of." ”
After a pause, Wei Lianzhang said: "Teaching students is good for you. In the process of teaching students, you can reflect on what you have learned, and the so-called review of the past to learn the new, you are in the process of reflection, which is also a kind of improvement for yourself. ”
Gao Dian nodded and said, "Teacher, I know. ”
He had already made up his mind, and he came to teach Yan Sen.
"Well, is there anything else?" Wei Lianzhang asked.
Gao Dian said: "I saw that you seemed to be a little weak that day, teacher, today I specially brought you two boxes of supplements, teacher, you remember to eat." ”
As soon as Gao Dian came in, Wei Lianzhang actually saw what he was carrying, but he didn't want anything from other things, so he was naturally not curious about what Gao Dian was mentioning.
Hearing this moment, Wei Lianzhang said happily in his heart: "If I have a heart, I will remember to eat." ”
Wei Lianzhang accepted Gao Dian's gift, what he valued was not the gift itself, but Gao Dian's heart.
"Teacher, I don't have anything else to do." Gao Dian said.
Wei Lianzhang glanced at him and asked, "How did you prepare for the pastry exchange meeting that you prepared?" ”
When Gao Dian heard this, he suddenly felt a little weak, and he didn't prepare much.
This is because Wei Qiaoyi told him to relax his mind and not care too much about the result.
Gao Dian knew that probably this exchange meeting was just a formality in the past, so he didn't pay much attention to it in his heart.
If you prepare something, you don't prepare.
Wei Lianzhang's eyes are so vicious, he can see at a glance that Gao Dian's heart is weak.
His face suddenly became serious, "You're not prepared? ”
Gao Dian sneered: "Teacher, I haven't had time to prepare yet. ”
Wei Lianzhang said: "In this exchange meeting, you have to go all out and communicate with those chefs, which is of great benefit to you now." Don't take it to heart, get back to me now! ”
When Gao Dian heard this, he immediately said, "Good teacher! But...... Teacher, I don't know the specific content of the exchange meeting, how do I prepare? ”
When Wei Lianzhang heard this, he was puzzled: "Didn't I tell you?" ”
Gao Dian smiled bitterly: "You didn't say it. ”
Hearing this, Wei Lianzhang sighed secretly in his heart, his memory was getting worse and worse.
"I'll have someone send you the specific process, and I'll follow the above preparations. Remember, prepare carefully! Wei Lianzhang said that the tone was a little more stern.
"Teacher, I see." Gao Dian responded, and said in his heart, he couldn't take it seriously when he went back this time, and he prepared seriously.
Gao Dian sat for a while, didn't sit for long, and then said goodbye to the teacher and left.
Wei Lianzhang saw Gao Dian leave, this was his most special student.
Other students, some because of their poor talent, some have already apprenticed, only Gao Dian is the most special.
Looking at the two boxes of supplements left by Gao Dian, a smile appeared on Wei Lianzhang's face.
After leaving the teacher's house, Gao Dian called Yan Sen.
Yan Sen, who was on vacation, originally planned to have a good rest at home for a day, but he was too tired these days.
Not only does he have to work normally, but he also has to practice harmony, and there is no time when his arm does not hurt these days.
As a result, he hadn't rested for half a day when his boss called.
Yan Sen didn't dare not take it, not only because Gao Dian was his boss, but also because he wanted to learn cooking from Gao Dian.
"Boss, is there anything you called me for?" Yan Sen asked.
"Where are you now?" Gao Dian asked.
"Boss, I'm at home." Yan Sen replied.
"You come to the store now, I'll wait for you." Gao Dian said.
Yan Sen was a little puzzled in his heart, today is a holiday, what do you want to do in the store?
But he didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he turned over and cleaned up, and quickly cleaned himself up, Yan Sen went out.
Hurry up, Yan Sen came to the store in the shortest time.
At this time, the door of the store was half-opened, and Yan Sen bent down and got in.
Gao Dian was sitting on a stool, waiting for Yan Sen to arrive.
"Boss." Yan Sen shouted.
Gao Dian nodded and said, "Sit down, I came to you today because I have something to tell you." ”
"You say."
"So, do you really want to learn to cook?" Gao Dian asked.
Yan Sen nodded hurriedly and said, "Really, I really want to learn." ”
How could he not want to learn? It's the art of eating.
"I can teach you, are you willing to learn from me?" Gao Dian asked.
Hearing this, Yan Sen seemed to have heard the sounds of heaven.
He seemed to be as usual in the past few days, but he was extremely worried in his heart, because Gao Dian had not taught him peace except for the first day.
Usually, he just let Yan Sen practice by himself.
Although Yan Sen is not very old, his brain is not stupid, and he knows that Gao Dian has not taught himself, and he must not agree with himself.
Therefore, he has been practicing hard in the past few days, just to let Gao Dian see his efforts and see his progress.
Today, he finally waited for the boss to say this, and his heart was a little sour, but more joyful.
"Yes! Boss, I do! Yan Sen said.
Gao Dian is a little tired, and this always sounds uncomfortable.
"Okay, don't say that, just be willing." Gao Dian stopped.
"I have to say something up front, your talent is actually not good." Gao Dian said.
"Huh?" Yan Sen was surprised.
He didn't expect the boss to say this.
In fact, he feels good about himself, and young people like him think that he is the protagonist, the kind of talent.
But now Gao Dian clearly told him that your talent is not good, which makes Yan Sen quite devastated.
"Talent is not everything, as long as you can study hard and seriously, you may not be able to learn well in the future." Gao Dian comforted.
Talent is still important, and hard work is of course important.
"Boss, I see." Yan Sen said a little sluggishly.
"Your talent is not good, you have to practice harder in the future, you should understand the principle that stupid birds fly first, right?" Gao Dian said,
Yan Sen nodded, "I understand." ”
"Well, that's good. One more thing, I don't accept you as an apprentice. Gao Dian said.
"Huh?"
Yan Sen sighed again, there were too many accidents today.
When Gao Dian said that he wanted to teach him, he was actually very happy, but now Gao Dian said that he would not accept him as an apprentice.
"Don't do it yet, although I don't accept you as an apprentice, I don't teach you a lot at all. I'll take you as a student, and you will study with me. Gao Dian said.
Hearing this, Yan Sen suddenly became happy, "Okay, teacher." ”
Gao Dian smiled when he heard this, this kid is quite clever.
For Yan Sen, there is no difference between a student and an apprentice, anyway, they are all learning.
This is because he doesn't understand the difference between the two, which is of course normal, after all, he is still young.
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy first, it's not so easy to be my student, you listen to me first, and then think about whether you want to study with me." Gao Dian said.
Immediately afterward, Gao Dian said: "As my student, you have to get up at five o'clock every morning, and you have to get to the store at six o'clock at the latest. I go to work normally halfway, but I will add some work, which is not paid and you can only leave when I leave in the evening.
Of course, I will pay the normal salary as usual. Extra work, that's not work, that's you learn from me. That way, you'll be more tired than you are now.
How is it, do you still want to learn from me? ”
Yan Sen hesitated a little when he heard this.
He was only eighteen years old, and his current level of labor actually made him feel very tired.
If it's really like what Gao Dian said, then will he really be able to persevere?
Yan Sen wasn't sure.
Gao Dian was not in a hurry to urge, he didn't have much time to teach Yan Sen alone.
Just like he said, he still has to study himself, he doesn't have enough time for himself, where can he get so much separate time to teach Yan Sen?
Therefore, he can only let Yan Sen work while he teaches the mode.
In this way, for Yan Sen, it is not without benefits, he can grow quickly, but he is more tired.
After a long time, Yan Sen said, "Teacher, I've thought about it, I want to learn from you." ”
When Gao Dian heard this, he smiled and said, "I hope you can persevere, okay, you come to the kitchen with me, and today I will correct some of your mistakes." ”
When Yan Sen heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly walked into the kitchen with Gao Dian sideways.
Yan Sen met each other, Gao Dian called a halt, Yan Sen found out for the first time, there were so many mistakes in him, he didn't find out.
After Gao Dian's correction, Yan Sen gradually found his senses.
However, his talent is really not good, and he is still a long way from really getting started.
Gao Dian let Yan Sen practice on the side, while he pondered another pastry.
The improvement of the lily crisp now depends on slow grinding, like building a knife, all aspects have been built, and now is the time to slowly sharpen the blade.
This is not urgent.
The pastry that Gao Dian is thinking about now is a soup dumpling!
