Time passed slowly, and Yan Li left early because she had to go back to school.

After Yan Sen finished wrapping up, Gao Dian also asked him to go back to rest.

Wei Qiaoyi hadn't left yet, she watched Gao Dian make zongzi with interest.

"Why did you suddenly remember to sell zongzi?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

Gao Dian didn't finish talking to her just now, and said that he pre-sold some zongzi and went out, but he didn't finish talking about the cause and effect.

Gao Dian smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's not what I'm willing to sell, there's really no way." ”

Immediately, he told Wei Qiaoyi what happened at noon today.

"So, you didn't plan to sell it because you planned to make zongzi and give it away, but they had to buy it?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"That's right." Gao Dian nodded.

Wei Qiaoyi was a little speechless and said: "This is a good thing, how do you feel that you are bitter and hateful." ”

"It's not, making zongzi is laborious and doesn't make money, and it delays my practice." Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "This is also the recognition of others for you!" Think about it, if they don't approve of you, they won't take the initiative to buy from you, right? After all, zongzi are everywhere now, and you can buy them anywhere. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. But with so much, I have a hard time doing it. ”

Wei Qiaoyi said, "I'll come over tomorrow to help you, so that you can be more relaxed." ”

The two were talking and laughing, and Gao Dian was cooking zongzi.

Time passed slowly, Wei Qiaoyi looked at her phone, and the time was not early, so she said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, she didn't mention the cooperation she said before, as if she had forgotten it.

Gao Dian didn't take the initiative to mention it, he was a little confused now, and he didn't know what to do, so he dragged it for the time being.

This is also a way to help, this matter is really difficult for him, and it is not so easy to decide.

After a while, Gao Dian boiled all the rice dumplings, waited for them to cool, and then put them in a bag in the refrigerator.

The weather is relatively hot now, and it must be stored in the refrigerator, otherwise it is easy to deteriorate.

…………

The next day, Gao Dian went to the boss to vacuum, and the boss was very happy, Gao Dian wanted to vacuum a lot of zongzi, which was also a big order.

After this batch of zongzi, I have to make another batch tonight to be finished.

Although it is handmade, Gao Dian also specially bought some gift boxes, which are not expensive, a few dollars a piece.

Put the zongzi in a gift box, and it will look better.

Since it was prepared in a hurry, this gift box is not very suitable.

There is no way to do this, if you want to be suitable, you have to customize, but now it's too late, so you can only use it.

Time flies by and comes to night.

Gao Dian closed early, closed the door of the store, and began to take the three of them to make zongzi, the ingredients he prepared in the afternoon, and now all he needs is to wrap and cook.

The four of them did it very quickly, and half of it was done in a short time.

After the three of them left and cooked the zongzi by themselves, Gao Dian was relieved.

It's finally done, and I'll sell these dumplings tomorrow.

In the past two days, making zongzi has taken up almost all of his time at night, and he has no time to practice.

Next.

The people who sold the zongzi came and sold the zongzi they had ordered, and some people who didn't know about ordering it before also came forward to buy it.

However, Gao Dian refused, he really didn't have much here, and it was not easy to open this opening.

Otherwise, it's always bad for you to sell this but not that.

The people who ordered the zongzi happily left with the zongzi, they were in a happy mood, and a sense of pride rose in their hearts.

Just buying a zongzi is not worth being happy about, looking forward to it is looking forward to it, but it is not worth being so happy.

Mainly because of the gap, seeing that others can't buy it if they want to, but they can buy it themselves, it will be very comfortable.

At night.

Yan Sen's sister and brother were about to get off work, but they were stopped by Gao Dian.

"You should have a day off tomorrow, and you will have a good rest during the holidays." Gao Dian said with a smile.

When the two of them heard this, their faces showed joy, and it was naturally good to be able to rest.

"Wait for me." Gao Dian said.

The brother and sister were a little confused, but they waited at the door.

Soon Gao Dian proposed two zongzi, and he didn't put the salted duck eggs into it, just the simple zongzi.

"Happy Dragon Boat Festival for yours!" Gao Dian said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, teacher." Yan Sen said happily.

"Thank you, boss." Yan Li said.

Gao Dian immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to say thank you, you can go back first." ”

The two left with zongzi.

Every once in a while, Wei Qiaoyi came over and asked, "You called me over, what's the matter?" ”

Gao Dian said: "Oh, this is for you, I won't open the door tomorrow, so I gave it to you in advance." ”

Wei Qiaoyi looked at the zongzi in Gao Dian's hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll take it, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I originally wanted to send you tomorrow, but I may have something to do tomorrow, so I'll call you over and give it to you in advance." Gao Dian said.

"Okay." Wei Qiao responded.

The two chatted for a while, and Wei Qiaoyi was in a hurry to go back to catch up on the drama, so he left in a hurry.

Gao Dian looked at the remaining zongzi and thought about the person to send.

…………

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gao Dian went out with a box of zongzi.

He was about to go to the teacher first, and when he came to the familiar community, Gao Dian walked to the teacher's door and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.

After a while, Wei Lianzhang opened the door, saw that it was Gao Dian, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gao, come in quickly." ”

In fact, in addition to teaching, Wei Lianzhang is still very amiable, but when teaching, he is more strict.

"Teacher, happy Dragon Boat Festival." Gao Dian said and handed over the zongzi.

Wei Lianzhang smiled: "Okay, good." ”

He took the zongzi, looked at it and said, "This zongzi wasn't bought outside, right?" ”

Gao Dian was a little surprised and said, "Teacher, how do you know?" ”

"Your box is not a box for rice dumplings." Wei Lianzhang said.

Gao Dian glanced at the box, he didn't find a suitable one, so he bought some casually.

"I did it myself." Gao Dian said.

"Then I'm going to have a taste." Wei Lianzhang said with a smile.

Gao Dian nodded.

Afterwards, the two began to chat.

After chatting for a while, Gao Dian asked, "Teacher, I found that my progress is getting slower and slower, what's going on?" ”

Wei Lianzhang said: "This is normal, haven't you become a first-class pastry chef, when you reach this level, it will be very slow to improve, because you have been promoted to a very high level, and it will naturally be difficult to improve again." ”

In fact, this is not only the case for pastries, but also for others.

When the level is low, the progress is relatively simple and the speed is also very fast, but when it reaches a certain level, it is not easy to make such rapid progress.

There are even people who are stuck at a certain level and cannot move forward again for the rest of their lives.

Gao Dian understood this truth, and he continued to ask: "Teacher, is there any way to make my progress faster?" ”

Wei Lianzhang glanced at Gao Dian and said, "What? Feeling in a hurry? ”

Gao Dian pursed his lips and said, "There are some." ”

Wei Qiaoyi invited him to partner in opening a high-end hotel, but his level was not enough to support a high-end hotel.

Other high-end restaurants also have at least one first-class pastry chef. He is not, and Wei Qiaoyi is most likely not either.

So he was really in a hurry and wanted to improve quickly.

"There are no shortcuts, if you want to improve, you have to be honest and take it step by step. Don't think about taking any shortcuts, your talent is very high, go down honestly, and you will slowly improve. Wei Lianzhang said earnestly.

He was afraid that Gao Dian would go the wrong way, and he valued Gao Dian very much.

"Teacher, I see." Gao Dian responded.

In fact, he had already guessed this result, but when he said it from the teacher's mouth, he was still a little disappointed in his heart.

He has now reached the upper level, but now he clearly feels that progress has become difficult, and the pace of improvement is slow.

"Just understand, by the way, what level are you now?" Wei Lianzhang slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip and asked.

"I'm barely up to the top level, but I haven't made much progress in the past few days, so I'm a little anxious." Gao Dian said.

Wei Lianzhang almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, but fortunately, he had enough concentration and didn't squirt out so much.

He looked at Gao Dian with a strange look in his eyes, and he was anxious after not making much progress in a few days?

Also, when was the upstream level reached?

Wei Lianzhang was surprised and relieved in his heart, Gao Dian was able to progress so fast, he was very happy in his heart.

But there is not much performance on the face, how can you lose your temper in front of the juniors?

"The upstream level is not bad." Wei Lianzhang nodded and said.

Then, he said in a somewhat stern tone: "But you can't relax either!" The upstream level is still far behind, you have to keep your feet on the ground. ”

Gao Dian should arrive: "I understand the teacher." ”

Wei Lianzhang paused and asked, "How did you improve?" ”

Gao Dian said: "I didn't accumulate enough before, so I have been accumulating during this time, and as I learn more noodles, my level is also improving. However, in the last few days, I have been learning other pastries, but I have found that my cooking skills have not improved much. ”

When Wei Lianzhang heard this, he said: "You didn't accumulate enough before, so in the process of accumulation, it has led to the improvement of your cooking skills." But now that you have accumulated to a certain level, and then you improve the accumulation, the improvement effect is not great.

If accumulation is to increase the breadth of your cooking skills, then the next thing you should do is to increase the depth of your cooking skills. ”

Gao Dian heard the words and pondered.

He understood what the teacher said, the so-called increasing depth is to strengthen the practice.

"But teacher, I was just adding depth before, and it was because I didn't make any progress that I increased the width." Gao Dian said.

"Your thinking is biased, do you know what a first-class pastry chef is?" Wei Lianzhang asked.

"The one who can make impeccable pastry is a first-class pastry chef." Gao Dian said.

"It's not wrong, but it's not accurate." Wei Lianzhang said.

Gao Dian was puzzled.

Wei Lianzhang explained: "The so-called first-class pastry chef is a level of proficiency in all aspects, and his performance on the outside is to make impeccable pastries.

So when we say impeccable pastry, is it really impeccable? No, it's just a description, where there is a pastry that is impeccable, if it is really impeccable, it is perfect.

So impeccable is just a slightly exaggerated description, a description of pastry chefs who are very high in all aspects and make pastries that are not a big problem.

In fact, the chef has reached this level, which is already very high, and it is very difficult to improve, so he can only rely on time to grind little by little.

It's impossible for you to make progress at this level, and it's normal for you to make slow progress. ”

He's correcting his students' cognitive biases, which can't be made quickly, so you're going to be too slow?

What Wei Lianzhang didn't say was that Gao Dian's progress was much faster than others.

This is the reason for Gao Dian's cheating, because he can check and fill in the gaps through the plug-in.

As mentioned earlier, after reaching the first-level pastry chef, the level of all aspects is already quite high, and if you want to improve, you have to polish the details.

It's all the same way, why do some do it well? It is because of the details, and it is an inconspicuous detail, which may determine the quality of the taste.

It's hard for others to find out that they're lacking in those details, but Gao Dian doesn't. That's why he's progressing so fast.

Of course, even so, his progress is very slow compared to before the first-level pastry chef.

After listening to what Wei Lianzhang said, Gao Dian pondered for a long time before saying, "I understand. ”

"Just understand, you have to remember that you can't be impatient at this stage, you have to practice with your feet on the ground." Wei Lianzhang admonished, and then he was silent for a while, and added: "It's okay usually, learn to think more." ”

Gao Dian nodded, indicating that he understood.

After a while, Gao Dian said, "Teacher, I have some cooking questions for you here. ”

Before Gao Dian could say the question, Wei Lianzhang said: "Don't ask me, you can think about it yourself." ”

Gao Dian looked at Wei Lianzhang suspiciously, and only listened to him: "When a pastry master reaches the first-level pastry master, he should be out of the teacher no matter what." You have to go on your own, so when you encounter a problem, think about it yourself, and then communicate with others when you really can't figure it out, but don't think about asking the answer directly. ”

"Good teacher." Gao Dian should arrive.

The two chatted again, Gao Dian glanced at the time, stood up and said goodbye and left, he had other places to go, and he couldn't stay for a long time.

Wei Lianzhang sent him to the door, and went back to clean up, today's Dragon Boat Festival should also be a day of reunion.

In the festivals of China, most of them hope for a family reunion, except for Qingming.

Yesterday, his son told him that if he went to eat today, of course Wei Lianzhang would not refuse.

Before leaving, Wei Lianzhang looked at the zongzi given by Gao Dian and lifted it up and went out.

…………

Gao Dian went back to the store and picked up the second box of zongzi and went out.

The reason why he didn't pick up two boxes at a time was mainly because it was not good to mention the past, and he didn't have a car, so he could only pick up one box at a time.

The second box, he was going to give it to Senior Brother Du.
