Looking at the busy chefs, Hao Libao came to Li Yi, stood beside him and said with a smile: "Your assessment project is very well designed and targeted, I have to learn it secretly." ”

Li Yi smiled: "It's not comprehensive, you can expand it again." ”

"It's already comprehensive."

Hao Libao looked at the nervous chefs and sighed: "It's just that the six-hour assessment time is a bit less?" I'm afraid they won't be able to complete all the projects. ”

"I didn't expect them to do it all."

Li Yi disagreed: "Whether it is a team competition or an individual competition, you need outstanding individual ability.

Limiting the assessment time is to ask them to focus on the projects in which they have advantages, and by the way, look at their ability to work under pressure. ”

When Hao Libao heard this, he glanced at him with emotion and said with a smile: "You are a natural boss." ”

"Huh? Why are you still scolding? ”

Li Yi made a joke, then looked at him and smiled, and walked around in front of the various stoves.

Although it was a selection, Hao Libao and Li Yi were not particularly strict.

On the way to watch, when they see something that needs to be adjusted or improved, they will also take the initiative to help the chef improve efficiency and improve the quality of the product.

"Do you want to make a honey fire party? So why not steam first? The pipa leg is processed, it must be steamed first to restore the original muscle texture shape, otherwise it will shrink and deform when it is done later, first steam and then cook, the salt removal effect will be better, wash with alkaline water, don't forget. ”

"Make sour plum sauce? That's okay, you're not a Cantonese chef, are you? No wonder, the sour plum sauce is to add ginger and garlic, this is the Shunde practice, the proportion of ginger and garlic is controlled at one-tenth of the amount of sour plum, remember to stir-fry first. ”

The chefs who were instructed by Li Yi were all like Daigo empowerments, and their faces were suddenly full of gratitude.

Li Yi mentioned that these skills of theirs are very practical, even if they fail the assessment, they will benefit immensely after they go back.

For a while, all the chefs present were convinced by Li Yi's cooking skills, and no one dared to have the slightest contempt.

Watching Li Yi wander between the various stoves, they all looked up from time to time in anticipation, wanting to attract Li Yi's attention, so as to give a few words of advice and improve their cooking skills.

Busy time flies, six hours pass in a flash, and the second round of selection is over.

After reviewing and tasting the chefs' works one by one, Li Yi asked each chef to keep the works fresh, and wait until tomorrow morning to give the final score according to the preservation effect.

After a night of anxious waiting, at noon the next day, Li Yi and Hao Libao checked the preservation effect of each chef's work, and finally selected 18 chefs to enter the team.

The selected chefs were ecstatic, while the unsuccessful chefs were chagrined and felt as if they had missed out on the awards.

This kind of top event in the culinary world, even if you just participate, can increase the price.

But that's the rule, they don't have the strength to do it, and they can only honestly admit defeat.

However, the selection is only the first step, and the next 18 chefs will have to undergo a two-month special training.

After all, this is a competition after all, and the ultimate goal is to win, so a certain strategy is still required.

The two-month special training is to expand the eight assessment items into eight aspects of special skills for repeated training.

These training plans were all changed by Li Yi according to the routine of practicing in the imperial dining room, and they were relatively targeted, but the effect was really good, and even Li Yi himself benefited a lot.

It's just that after having a training plan, there is a problem with the setting of the training ground.

Soon after the start of school in September, Li Yi will have to go to Jinling Forestry University to teach.

He was needed there too, and he couldn't leave.

Although professional classes can be adjusted to take every other day, it also takes time to go back and forth between Jinling and Beijing.

In order to save time, Li Yi simply arranged the chefs in Jinling for unified training.

This way he can deal with the situation on both sides at any time without delay.

But with a team of so many people, it's hard to find a training venue.

However, with Li Yi's connections, this problem is easy to solve.

In the past six months, two cities have cooperated with his catering company to hold local specialty food festivals.

Most of the professional and technical personnel responsible for the food festival are graduates of the New Oriental Cooking School recruited by the company.

Liu Xiaoli signed a cooperation agreement with New Oriental Cooking School to enroll 100 graduates of the school every year, and the number is increasing every year.

This can help the school solve a lot of employment problems, so the relationship between New Oriental and Yifei Catering is in the honeymoon period.

Li Yi made a phone call, and the person in charge of the Jinling Campus of New Oriental Cooking School took the initiative to contact him on the same day, saying that he could provide a professional classroom for free for the participating teams to use.

Not only that, the person in charge also said that New Oriental Cooking School is willing to provide all the ingredients needed for training for free, and can also provide free room and board, and sponsor round-trip air tickets.

For them, as long as they can be related to this cooking Olympiad, they will earn it.

The training process was boring, but everyone didn't dare to let up because the media already knew about it and reported it.

Because it was Li Yi who led the team, many netizens who had never heard of this event paid attention to this culinary Olympiad.

If there is attention, there will be traffic, and after realizing that this is a very popular topic, the media also began to scramble to report it.

And with the release of articles in the media, netizens who saw the articles also paid more attention to this event.

As a result, under the rendering of the media, the popularity of this event became higher and higher, and it became popular directly.

Knowing that hundreds of millions of netizens from the outside world began to pay attention to this game, the pressure on the team skyrocketed instantly.

If you don't get a good result after participating in the competition, you won't be scolded to death?

However, this also stimulated the fighting spirit of the participating chefs, and they all became more and more serious in training.

The greater the pressure, the greater the reward.

If you can get a good result in this competition, it will be equivalent to showing your face in front of the people of the whole country, which is a good thing!

For a while, the chefs all started the desperate Saburo mode, competing with each other in overtime training, standing in front of the stove for more than ten hours a day, and some people even slept with the spoon.

However, their level is indeed improving by leaps and bounds at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the rate of progress is surprising even to them.

While they are training hard, Li Yi's professional teaching is also on the right track.

Li Yi's teaching does not have much professional knowledge, but is more inclined to vocational education.

The content of his teaching is to start from scratch and teach professional students to hand-weave.

For students in this major, the content of the lectures is more interesting than the various academic courses, and everyone is interested in learning.

Textile skills require a lot of practice, and after the early teaching, all the students have initially mastered the weaving skills, and Li Yi's teaching pressure has been reduced.

As a result, he also had a certain amount of free time to design the pattern of the dress he and Liu Yifei would wear at their wedding.
