A sudden roar startled Wei Qiaoyi.

"What?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"I can't tell, I can feel it anyway...... These five pastries have a common characteristic. Gao Dian said.

It's not that he's talking nonsense, it's what he feels.

Because from the perspective of color and fragrance, there is not much change, but it gives Gao Dian a very special feeling.

It's like these five noodles have the same temperament as people.

Hearing Gao Dian's words, Wei Qiaoyi laughed.

"You're actually right."

Obviously, Wei Qiaoyi knew about it for a long time.

At this time, Gao Dian was a little puzzled: "What is this?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi pondered for a while and said, "Your current cooking skills have also reached that point, you can start to understand, and I will talk to you." ”

Seeing that Wei Qiaoyi's expression was a little serious, Gao Dian sounded serious.

"Do you know what a special pastry chef is?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

Gao Dian shook his head, the special first-class pastry master is definitely better than the first-level pastry master in the literal sense, but what is the special first-class pastry master, Gao Dian doesn't know.

"From a literal point of view, a special first-class pastry chef can be said to be a special first-level pastry chef, a special first-class pastry chef. So what makes something special?

This brings us to the several levels of pastry.

We all know that pastries are made and are classified as qualified, good, excellent and impeccable. In fact, when it comes to impeccable, even if it is the end, if you want to talk about the above, it is perfect.

But there is no perfect pastry in the world, that is, when it reaches an impeccable level, it cannot be taken to the next level. ”

Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian opened his mouth wide, it was the first time he had heard such a statement.

Although everyone knows the four levels of pastry, Gao Dian has always thought that there should be another level above impeccable, otherwise why are there special first-class pastry chefs and pastry masters.

But now Wei Qiaoyi told him that there is no higher level above, and impeccable will reach the top.

This made Gao Dian a little unacceptable for a while.

If you are impeccable and you reach the top, then how can you improve?

Wei Qiaoyi glanced at Gao Dian, as if he knew his thoughts, and said: "Although there is no higher level than impeccable, it does not mean that we cannot progress, we cannot make perfect pastries, but we can get infinitely close to perfection." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he said: "Is that a special first-class pastry chef who can make a pastry chef who is infinitely close to the level of perfect pastry?" ”

In Gao Dian's view, this is a reasonable explanation.

But Wei Qiaoyi shook her head and said, "No! Not really! ”

"Isn't it? So what makes a first-class pastry chef? Gao Dian asked.

"The so-called special first-class pastry chef is on the word special. What does it mean to be special? When you reach a certain level, you have to go on your own path, because at this time, there is no one to teach you, and you have to go down the road on your own.

And the pastry chef who finds his own way and gives the pastry its own characteristics is called a special pastry chef. ”

Wei Qiaoyi explained.

When Gao Dian heard this, he felt a little suddenly enlightened.

No wonder he just felt that the five noodles made by Wei Qiaoyi had a special temperament.

I see.

"I probably understand the meaning, can you tell me about what is called your own path? And how should we find this path? ”

Gao Dian asked.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "If you don't ask, I will tell you too." ”

"The so-called road is actually a description that helps you understand better. In fact, it is also said that it is a kitchen way, a kitchen heart, and a concept, but it all means the same anyway.

As for how to find it, it's up to you, and there is nothing others can do to help. Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian asked, "Then there must be a direction, right?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi nodded and said, "Yes." The point is to form your own characteristics and use your own unique culinary concept. ”

"Forming your own identity?" Gao Dian chewed on the words.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "Actually, you have been doing this before, do you see that the lily cake you make has its own characteristics?" ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he thought for a while and said, "You mean, improvement? ”

Wei Qiaoyi shook his head with a smile and said, "No, as long as you find your own path, even if you don't improve, you will have your own characteristics." ”

Gao Dian was a little stunned when he heard it, he felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became, and he understood a little more just now.

"You take your time to understand, everyone's understanding may be different, and the more I say, the more confused you may be." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian nodded, shaking out some of the confusion.

He asked, "So are you, becoming a first-class pastry chef?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "Sort of, but I'm just finding my way, and it will take a while to sort it out, so that I can really step into this level." ”

Gao Dian said a little excitedly: "That's great, in this case, we will soon have a special first-class pastry chef in the Dianxin Building." ”

Wei Qiaoyi shook his head and said, "It's still early, I only entered the level of a special first-class pastry chef, but I am not a first-class pastry chef." ”

Gao Dian was a little puzzled.

Wei Qiaoyi explained with a smile: "Just like you, you now have the level of the upper level of a first-level pastry chef, but you are actually still a second-level pastry chef, and you have not yet passed the exam of a first-level pastry chef." ”

Gao Dian was stunned, and then said: "Is it still very early for the exam of the special first-class pastry chef?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi said: "The exam of the special first-class pastry chef is a little special, and you will know later." ”

Gao Dian nodded, and did not ask again.

Although Wei Qiaoyi can't become a first-class pastry chef yet, her progress in cooking skills is also something worth celebrating.

Suddenly, Gao Dian thought of a question, and he asked: "You just said that the special first-class pastry chef lies in the characteristics, and there is not much difference between it and the first-class pastry chef in terms of cooking skills." Why do you respect the best pastry chef so much? ”

Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile: "Who said there is no big difference? ”

"Aren't they all at an impeccable level? Is there a big gap? Gao Dian asked.

"For sure, there's a big difference between impeccable and impeccable." Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"I still don't understand, is it because it's special, that's why it's amazing?" Gao Dian asked.

He felt that the special first-class pastry chef that Wei Qiaoyi said was not as powerful as he imagined.

Wei Qiaoyi explained: "Do you know that there is actually an upper limit to a piece of pastry? ”

Gao Dian wondered, what does this have to do with the upper limit of pastries?

Wei Qiaoyi continued: "The upper limit of pastry lies in the person you are learning. For example, I teach you a pastry now, you learn from me, and the upper limit is me. At most, you are on par with me, but it is impossible to surpass me.

Because you are in my framework, you have not made changes and breakthroughs, and I have been influencing you.

But after you find your own path, you are actually out of the framework I have set for you, and after you get out of this framework, you can go beyond my ceiling.

Do you get the idea? ”

Gao Dian heard this, nodded, and what Wei Qiaoyi said was very easy to understand.

Take himself as an example, the knife cutting noodles he learned have not been able to reach Shen Shengsheng's level.

Not to mention transcendence.

This is because when Gao Dian first learned knife noodles, he was learning Shen Shengsheng's knife noodles, which was in the framework set by Shen Shengsheng.

No matter how hard he tries, he can only reach the same level as Shen Shengsheng, but if he wants to surpass it in the knife cutting surface, it is impossible.

If you want to surpass, you have to jump out of the box and go out of your own way.

Gao Dian's previous improved lily cake is actually an act of jumping out of the frame.

"I see." Gao Dian said.

To become a first-class pastry chef is to let yourself jump out of the framework of others and go out of your own way, so that your cooking skills can continue to improve.

At this moment, Gao Dian suddenly understood a lot, and he also had a deeper understanding of what a special first-class pastry chef is.

Wei Qiaoyi suddenly sighed and said, "If you want to jump out of the frame, it's not easy. ”

This sentence contains too many emotions.

Gao Dian thought that Wei Qiaoyi had found his own path for so many years, and suddenly felt that there might be some stories in it.

"It shouldn't be easy to find your own way, right?" Gao Dian asked.

"Hmm." Wei Qiaoyi nodded.

At this moment, her emotions were a little excited, and she was also a little embarrassed.

"Want to hear my story?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

"If you want to speak, I'm sure I'm willing to listen." Gao Dian should arrive.

Wei Qiaoyi pursed her lips and said, "There is one thing missing." ”

"What?" Gao Dian was a little puzzled.

"Wine. You don't have any wine, how can I tell a story. Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian patted his head and hurriedly said, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I'll bring you wine." ”

Wine, Dianxin Building is available.

Although it is not the main business, some people like to drink some alcohol.

Gao Dian went to get a few bottles of beer, put them in front of Wei Qiaoyi, and said, "Now that there is wine, let's talk about it." ”

Wei Qiaoyi buttoned the beer pull ring, and with a "poof" sound, a puff of air came out.

"Here, touch one." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian raised the wine bottle, touched it lightly, and the two of them each took a sip.

Putting down the wine bottle, Wei Qiaoyi said quietly: "I showed a high talent when I was a child. ”

Gao Dian listened and nodded silently.

Regarding Wei Qiaoyi's talent, Gao Dian had already heard about it, and she was not suspected of boasting about her words.

"My grandfather was happy the moment I showed my talent, he bought me a lot of stuff that day. Because my dad is a man with no talent for cooking, my appearance is good news for my grandfather. Wei Qiaoyi said.

Across from her, Gao Dian was a quiet listener.

Suddenly, Wei Qiaoyi asked, "You should know who my grandfather is, right?" ”

Gao Dian nodded and said, "It's my teacher." ”

"Hmm." Wei Qiao responded.

Gao Dian didn't know about this matter at first, but as he intersected with Wei Qiaoyi more, he slowly had a guess.

Later, some things made him confirm this speculation.

In fact, Wei Qiaoyi's identity is not a secret, but Gao Dian has not explored it, he doesn't know what psychology is, and he has been reluctant to explore this issue.

Otherwise, it would not be just speculation, it would have been confirmed.

"After I showed my talent, my grandfather did his best to teach me pastry from a very young age. And I didn't disappoint my grandfather, I became a third-level pastry chef very early, then a second-level pastry chef, and then a first-level pastry chef. Wei Qiaoyi said.

This Gao Dian knows that Wei Qiaoyi's deeds can be described as legendary.

"But I have encountered a dilemma in the first level of pastry chef, and you may not believe it, I have reached the top level of a first-class pastry chef a few years ago, but I have not been able to break through to become a special first-class pastry chef. I couldn't progress any further, not at all, because I couldn't find my own path. ”

Wei Qiaoyi said.

She said these words in a very relaxed tone, but Gao Dian could feel Wei Qiaoyi's despair behind these words.

For a genius who has been soaring all the way, it is indeed a desperate situation to be stuck in the first-level pastry master and not be able to progress.

Now she can say it in such a relaxed tone because she has completely stepped over.

"I didn't know why, so I went to ask Grandpa. My grandfather told me that it was because I was so talented that I was learning everything too fast and was stuck in his frame and couldn't get out.

Sounds ridiculous, right? Too much talent can become a constraint and prevent me from improving. ”

Wei Qiaoyi smiled self-deprecatingly.

Gao Dian didn't speak, he didn't know how to speak.

In fact, what binds Wei Qiaoyi is not only her talent, but also her inheritance.

His teacher's inheritance is too strong, so Wei Qiaoyi can't come out. That's what really matters.

Wei Qiaoyi didn't say it, maybe it wasn't that he didn't know, but he didn't want to blame.

"Later, my grandfather stopped teaching me anything, he told me to think for myself, to think for myself. But I've been exposed to it since I was a child, and it's so easy to change. Wei Qiaoyi sighed.

"During that time, I was so confused that I even gave up pastry for a while." Wei Qiaoyi said this and took a sip of beer.

Gao Dian also drank a little, and then he asked, "Then how did you get out of here?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "This is my whim, I think that since I have learned too much of my grandfather's cooking, I have fallen into a framework that I can't get out of." So I'm going to learn something else, to break out of this framework. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he suddenly said, "So, you traveled abroad?" ”

Wei Qiaoyi nodded and said, "Because the gap between domestic and foreign noodles is greater, it is more beneficial for me to break through the framework." ”

"No wonder, no wonder you have so many Western-style pastries." Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi smiled and said: "The effect is still very good, after learning Western-style pastry, I gradually broke my grandfather's framework." ”

"So, you've gone your own way?" Gao Dian asked.

Wei Qiaoyi shook her head and said, "No, I really got out of my own way, thanks to you." ”
