The sun is shining and the sky is cloudless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Ang felt a little depressed, because he drank wine with Albert for most of the night yesterday, fell asleep, and did not go to the Xuanwu Hall to cultivate, and early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, he was woken up by a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it was Master Bernard.

"Didn't bother you, did you?" asked Master Bernard as he looked at the dissatisfaction on Zhang Ang's face.

"No, no, I'm just about to get up. Zhang Ang hurriedly smiled.

"Then hurry up and freshen up, some of you are busy today. Master Bernard smiled.

"Ah, busy, what's the matter?" Zhang Ang was confused.

"You forget, today is admissions day, as the next dean of our college, of course we have to participate. Master Bernard explained.

"This, can I not participate?" Zhang Ang was most afraid of these troubles, he was now bent on cultivating and practicing to be invincible in the world.

"Of course not, you are also a grandmaster now, and you will also teach in the academy in the future, how can you miss such an important day?" Master Bernard unceremoniously rejected Zhang Ang's request.

In desperation, Zhang Ang had no choice but to pack up a little, change into the Michelin Institute's unique white chef's uniform, and follow Master Bernard to the enrollment site.

Just after dawn, it was only early in the morning, and the entire Michelin Institute was already crowded, most of them were parents with children, who came to take the admissions test, and of course, there were many boring people who came to see the excitement.

There are several admissions tests in the Michelin Institute, some of which are specifically used to detect talent and aptitude with internal force, some are interviewed to roughly observe the student's mental character, some are specially tested to test the student's physical fitness and patience, some are specially investigated to investigate the student's background to prevent adultery, etc., and of course, there are those who are specifically responsible for collecting tuition.

And Zhang Ang was arranged to specifically test the level of knife work of students.

Zhang Ang was puzzled by this: "These are very young people, most of them are even children, and most of them have never learned knife skills before, even if a very small number of them have learned, it is impossible to learn our kitchen knives, what is the use of this test?"

"Knife work is the most basic thing for our chefs, and it is also the core of our knife technique, and now the knife work is tested, not what proficiency is measured, whether the knife is good or bad, etc., to see whether they have this talent: do they shake when they put down the knife? are they careful or perfunctory when cutting things? are they careful enough, as accurate as possible? have they even paid attention to protecting the knives and protecting the ingredients? are all very important measurement standards, and they are also one of the most important parts of our whole set of tests. Master Bernard patiently explained.

"Oh, I guess I see. Zhang Ang agreed, if you want to talk about knife work, the entire academy, he can be regarded as one of the best, and there are only a few masters who can be compared with him, and he is the promoter of the knife group, and he is very proficient in all kinds of good and bad knife work, this is indeed the most suitable test for himself.

The knife inspection is ranked third among all the test items, ahead of the talent qualification test and the individual interview.

So what can appear in front of Zhang Ang, most of the talents are okay, Zhang Ang swept them one by one with the eye of data, most of them are excellent and good, and none of them are ordinary or low, which makes Zhang Ang, a former waste wood, feel that the world is unfair.

The knife work inspection arranged by Zhang Ang for them is also very simple, and it is the most basic shredded potato cutting.

However, before the test, it was natural to demonstrate in person, Zhang Ang took out the big potatoes from the big basket next to him, and called the first batch of ten students to come around to watch the demonstration.

Most of the students were very young, and the older ones were in their early teens, and they all looked very nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I'm very good to pass here, our project is to test knife work, which is the most basic basic skill of our chef, it doesn't matter if you haven't learned it before, now I'll show you how." Zhang Ang tried to make himself appear as kind as possible.

He slowed down as much as possible and explained in detail, from washing the knife, to peeling, to slicing, to shredding, so that every student could clearly see the detailed process of turning this potato into a thin filament.

"Okay, that's the process, do you understand?" Zhang Ang tried to make his voice softer.

"Got it. ”

"Understood. ”

"Well, that's easy. ”

......

The students' responses were sparse.

"Okay, you can pick the potatoes in the basket next to you, but you can only cut up to three of them and show me the best portion of shredded potatoes. Let's get started. Zhang Ang thought about it for a while and decided to relax the conditions.

The ten students immediately got into action, and Zhang Ang also walked around the test field, observing their performance.

First of all, of course, it was to pick potatoes, and what made Zhang Ang feel funny was that they all picked the big ones one by one, as if the bigger the better, and they all took the big potatoes back to their cooking tables.

Then there is the knife washing, at first several students forgot this step, and when they saw others washing, they reacted, and quickly stopped peeling and washed the knife with water.

Then there is peeling, obviously, none of them have such experience, it is said that peeling, most of them almost cut off a small half of the whole potato, only two people are more careful, although very rusty, but the peeling is very slow and careful, reducing the waste of potatoes.

Then there is the slicing, this part of everyone seems to have learned more carefully, one by one the knife is similar to what Zhang Ang taught, but the cut out potato slices are still miserable, some are thin and some are thick, and even thin and thick, thin and thick, etc., which is unbearable to witness.

The last is to shred and put it on a plate, this piece is not cut well, this silk is not much better, there are thick and thin, there are long and short, and it is a mess.

And they didn't seem to be satisfied with themselves, none of them dared to show the work to Zhang Ang, and they all calmed down and dealt with the second potato.

Obviously, they all slowed down as much as possible, and even stopped to think, they should have seen the doorway inside, and knew that this simple shredded potato was not easy at all.

Then the finished product is also a little better than the first, and the third potato is not a big lift, it is still uneven in thickness and length, but this is almost their limit.

Zhang Ang was not difficult for them, let eight people pass the test, and then ruthlessly, eliminated the two students who seemed to have no talent for knife work and did things roughly.

After testing this group, the next group of ten people walked in trembling again.

Round after round of testing was repeated, and after 4 sets, the morning passed.

Zhang Ang rested for a while, ate something more, and began the first round of tests in the afternoon.

As usual, I still used the eye of data to sweep these ten students one by one.

Fierce, Zhang Ang's eyes lit up!
