National Tide 1980.

Chapter 753
In the next 20 days, the performance of the "Stolen Punch Five" completely exceeded the expectations of everyone around them.

They have never complained of suffering or tiredness.

It is completely willing to accept the trial of torment in the kitchen of hell.

Even if they returned to the dormitory in the middle of the night exhausted, they were so tired that they could fall asleep standing in the shower while taking a shower, and then bumped their heads against the wall, they had no complaints.

They even quickly found a knack for working in their demanding new environment.

Don't hesitate in the back kitchen, don't ask questions, just concentrate on implementing the assignment of the foreign chef.

During the meal, after the Frenchman roars, try to keep silent, cover yourself with preoccupation with work, or pretend to be too busy to pay attention to with downcast eyes.

If it's not your fault, try not to appear in the sight of the chef, and don't make a sound, so as not to become cannon fodder.

Every day before going to work, I always put gauze and burn ointment in my trouser pocket.

In case of bloodshed, wrap it up unnoticed and keep working!

In fact, whether it is the three French chefs or those Western food chefs who have been trained by them.

No one could have imagined that after the chefs of these five altar palaces came here, even if they lost the nourishing life in the past, they would suddenly become down-and-out phoenixes.

But he was still able to quickly accept the redefined level of strictness and find his own position.

Still able to adapt to the work requirements of a large professional western food kitchen so quickly, and understand the management style which is completely different from Chinese food.

Originally, they thought that even if these five people could persevere, they should have been tossed and slumped, half dead.

How could it be possible that he didn't look like he couldn't bear it, but was so energetic, even more energetic than those veterans who had adapted to this kind of kitchen work long ago?

In particular, these five people also showed a strong understanding and learning ability.

Such as taking the wrong imported raw materials and seasonings, using the wrong knives, and forgetting to implement strict size standards for cutting things. These relatively low-level mistakes will basically not appear as long as they are scolded once.

They are very observant, know how to adjust themselves, and are always trying to improve.

This allows them to get the basics of the kitchen done quickly and well.

As time passed day by day, it didn't take long for the "Stolen Punch Five" from Altar Palace to compare with many masters who had been working with French chefs for a year and a half.

In fact, in the end, every time the French chef graded the work of his subordinates in the kitchen.

The five people from Altar Palace were all excellent in ten disciplines, and the others who had not been working for a short time were good and moderate.

So in this way, it really complied with the saying "gold always shines".

It's impossible for three French chefs not to notice how outstanding the five of them are.

So after one full month of talent, the five members of the altar palace were promoted, and the work content was substantially upgraded.

They were transferred from the ingredients cutting area and the storage and freezing area to the appetizer area or the soup area.

That is to say, at this time, they finally got the opportunity to learn some simple French cooking through work practice.

And since then, those Frenchies don't think they are irrelevant people anymore.

The attitude towards them has also become more or less gentle.

Although the barbaric and hysterical brutality of the three French chefs did not diminish at all when the restaurant was open.

But when the "war" is over, several "commanders" will pat them on the shoulder, or show a little smile.

This is almost the same as Yang Luchan in "Stealing the Fist", who gained the trust of his master through hard work and hard work, and finally got the qualification to clean the training ground when he was teaching Taiji Chen an apprentice.

Even if Yang Feng didn't really get his wish and moved to the charcoal barbecue area he longed for in one step, Xu Chunyan could not go to the dessert area she was longing for.

But I think that as long as they maintain this working status and continue to gain more recognition from several French chefs, they will definitely have a chance to realize their long-cherished wish.

What's more, these practical areas are all next to each other.

When you have a moment to look up, you can always see how the main course and dessert chefs are doing.

It's much stronger than before.

To put it bluntly, now they have passed the threshold of entry, and they can really tell others that they are learning Western food.

Don't underestimate this!
You know, this is still Maxim's kitchen, something that has never happened before.

Normally, if it wasn't for the first batch of people who went to France for special assault training.

Those who are hired after this should have to stay up for three months, or even half a year for such basic work, to be able to get such an opportunity.

The Altar Palace five-person group unexpectedly won such an honor so early, and was unanimously recognized by the French chefs.

It can be said that it has created the record for the shortest internship period for newcomers in Maxim's kitchen.

But as the old saying goes, not being envied is a mediocrity.

The "Stolen Punch Five" is also inevitably enviable.

Although speaking, everyone is a family member, and they are all brothers who work in the kitchen.

But at this time, the old employees of Maxim's kitchen began to feel alienated and indifferent towards the five people from Altar Palace.

I am not as responsive as I was when I first started, and I am eager to help.

Sometimes, they even show a certain degree of hostility, quite resistance and rejection.

For example, the in charge of each district is responsible for translating the words of the French chef, and some people deliberately hide half of it and say the other half.

For another example, those old employees always deliberately dump the difficult tasks, the easily scolded tasks, and the tasks that others are unwilling to do, on the five of them, and entrust them to do them.

But even so, it still couldn't cover up the outstanding quality and dazzling light of the five of them.

For nothing else, are these five people comparable to ordinary chefs?
They were originally the technical backbone of various famous shops, and they continued to be instructed by famous chefs when they came to Tangong.

Who doesn't really love this industry, has worked hard, and is an elite selected from among the elite?

Just kidding!Just because they are the team leaders of the back kitchen of the altar palace selected from so many chefs.

If you just get any restaurant, it is enough to be alone!
So most of the things in the kitchen are very simple for them, and they can basically understand what's going on after seeing them once.

Even if there are tricks that they can't figure out individually, isn't there someone else who can discuss them together?

Five people hold each other in a group, and they can almost stand up to two Zhuge Liang.

What's more, Western food cooking methods are far less than Chinese food, and what they learn is the easiest cold dishes and soup dishes, so is there any discomfort?

To use an analogy, this principle is similar to the dispute between Qizong and Jianzong of the Huashan Sword School in Jin Daxia's novel.

Jianzong focuses on changes in moves, quick to learn, and low threshold.

The effect is obvious as soon as you practice, and the strength in the early stage crushes the air sect.

But the ceiling is limited, and it will be difficult to break through to a certain extent.

On the other hand, the air sect has accumulated a lot and exploded.

It is not easy to start laying a good foundation, and progress is slow.

But once the internal strength is practiced, no matter how ordinary moves are, they are still powerful.

For the back chef of Maxim's Restaurant, the Altar Palace Five is the airbender, and the culinary foundation laid by Chinese food is extremely solid.

They are already at the level that they can see and touch. They are familiar with handling all kinds of ingredients, and they don't need to learn the basics.

The so-called learning French cuisine, but come here to see, what kind of regulations are Western cuisine.

What raw materials are used, what seasonings are used, how are they manipulated specifically, and how are they subtly changed.

So even though they didn't understand the language, they were confused listening to the Frenchman, and some people stumbled on purpose, but it didn't hinder them much.

After all, they learn things with their eyes and hands.

As long as you follow this way and imitate the Frenchman's technique, you will always be able to stay close to each other.

On the contrary, in the eyes of those old employees, it is extremely evil!
These five people learn to cook like geniuses, as if their brains are not human brains.

No matter what French chefs cook, as long as they have seen it once, they can remember the general operating procedures and discover the key points of the know-how.

After watching it twice, you can learn a lot.

If you really have to watch it three or four times, they can already do well.

Even better and faster than someone who has been instructed many times by a French chef.

If it wasn't for them not knowing foreign languages, they wouldn't be able to use modern cooking tools.

Most of the time, it is necessary to communicate with the French chefs through the translators in charge of the chefs in each district.

It is inevitable to rely on the help of Maxim's old employees to find some raw materials and condiments.

I'm afraid those western food chefs have difficulty maintaining their self-confidence, and feel that they still have some advantages.

Think about it, if in a class group of a key middle school, five academically able to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University's graduate students suddenly come, they will get full marks in every exam.

What an ego-stimulating thing this is.

How does this make the original top students feel better?

That's really cool, it's not an exaggeration to say that there is nothing to love in life.

Then it is inevitable that the faces of some narrow-minded people will turn purple, and they will desperately try to find a way to play a little naughty.

Not to mention, just after New Year's Day, not long after, let these people seize an opportunity.

That day was a business banquet specially reserved by Peugeot to celebrate the approval of the establishment of a joint venture company in the Republic of China.

Officials and representatives of the foreign trade department of the Republic, as well as representatives of domestic enterprises as partners, as well as the commercial counselor of the French embassy, ​​and several foreign media reporters came.

Because of the large number of people and high specifications, Maxim's kitchen was naturally extremely nervous and prepared for it.

In fact, at five o'clock in the morning, the three Frenchmen came.

None of them are missing, and they go into battle in person.

Buying goods, preparing dishes, and everything was two hours in advance.

Some materials were even prepared yesterday and marinated in advance.

Then there is the purge of the whole army, with arms rolled up and sleeves rolled up.

The executive chef "Bai Maoer" with deep and melancholy eyes seems to have messed up even his delicate hairstyle.

The executive sous chef couldn't be more happy with "Happy fart", and shouted along with the chef at the top of his voice.

"Pull the list" remained silent, almost focusing all his energy on the exquisite decoration of desserts.

As for other people in the back kitchen, everyone must complete the task at hand with [-]% precision, and any collapse caused by a small mistake is not allowed to happen.

The result is such an important day, when everyone is almost busy, and it is time to finish the preparation work and take a breath.

Dai Hong in the Tangong five-member group was actually plotted against.

At that time, she was assigned by the team leader in charge of the cold food section to go to the cold storage to get things.

She never expected that when she turned her head and came out again, there was a cart full of finished appetizers parked outside the door of the cold storage.

As a result, she knocked on the door without knowing it, and it fell over directly.

There was a sound of "cracking", and a total of eighty exquisite appetizers were smashed to pieces.

This unexpected scene not only made Dai Hong, who was standing at the door of the cold storage with his things in his arms, completely dumbfounded.

It also made the entire back kitchen suddenly silent as if time had stopped.

There was silence for at least five seconds.

The three French chefs who turned into raging demons came to Dai Hong at the same time.

This time it was not as simple as scolding people in the past.

"White Hair" really became a madman suffering from mania.

Looking at the mess, as the executive chef, he lost his composure so much that he dropped his chef's hat.

Then he kicked away the cart that fell to the ground, screaming and scratching his hair.

"Pull List" and "Le Gai Fat" besieged Dai Hong together.

Swearing incoherently, pointing fingers and scolding severely.

Not to mention that the voice wished it could lift the ceiling.

Even their exaggerated expressions and movements seemed to tear Dai Hong apart, and they wanted to eat it in one bite.

Dai Hong is still very young, only 22 years old.

The reason why her culinary skills are outstanding is that her aunt Luo Hui was one of the shareholders of Kangle Restaurant back then, and she was the first partner to run the restaurant with Chang Jing.

With this relationship, she not only received professional training since she was a child, but also joined the Kangle Restaurant after graduating from middle school, and became a closed-door disciple taught by Chef Chang Jing.

Master Chang has a good temper, and he has a way of being patient when female disciples get angry again, so Dai Hong didn't suffer much scolding.

Coming to Maxim's restaurant can be said to be the day when Dai Hong suffered the most and received the most scolding in his life, and he survived by fighting hard with the big guys.

Where had she ever seen three ghost-like foreigners screaming around her like this?

The girl was completely dumbfounded, and she knew that she had caused a catastrophe and the consequences would be serious.

Coupled with innocent grievances and unexplained fear.

This feeling, like the sky falling apart, made her cry in fright.

Fortunately, she is not alone. At this critical moment, the other people in the altar palace are unambiguous.

Whether it was Xu Chunyan, Yang Feng, Xiaocha, or Jiang Dachun, no one was hiding at this time.

They were much stronger than the "Five Sacred Sword School" in Jin Daxia's novels, they were really "connected with each other", and then they all dropped what they were doing and followed suit.
