Chapter 838 Please do as you wish

Under the guidance of Minister Wang, Chu Yunfeng only filled in his basic information, parents and sister's information with just a piece of paper.

This was more than ten times easier than it was with Section Chief Yu, and it saved Chu Yunfeng a lot of time and energy.

"Well, that's enough. I will hand over the relevant information today, and the review will be completed by the higher-ups.

This is also what the old man means. He doesn't want your identity to be known to too many people, so your family information needs to be kept confidential, and we will keep it confidential internally. "

Minister Wang's words made Chu Yunfeng nodded, and he understood the old man's style of doing things.

This is not only a spur to yourself, but also a good family tradition, that is, you need to hone yourself, rather than rely on family connections to improve.

Chu Yunfeng particularly agreed with the old man's decision. He was self-made and did not want the old man's halo to shine over him.

If this halo is added to one's body, it might have the opposite effect, and others will question one's success, which only came to this point due to family connections.

So the old man has also taken this into consideration, and naturally this identity information cannot be leaked to the outside world.

As for the review issue, of course there is no problem. Gen Zheng Miao Hong, no matter how the review is done, it will be fine.

"Okay, Minister Wang, please go ahead and get busy. I'll take Chu Yunfeng to the kitchen to adapt to the environment. I'll also give a message to the second elder. Finally, I've brought this kid back."

President Hou joked about it, and the two elders complained several times about Chu Yunfeng's characteristic of oiling the soles of his feet.

"Haha, I am the first to see that my second elder values ​​me so much. Maybe in two years I will be able to cook in person. Work hard!"

After sending the two to the door, Minister Wang also encouraged him. He said that being able to cook on the stove in the past two years was an exaggeration. It could be regarded as an encouragement to Chu Yunfeng.

It is not easy for such a young chef to join the state banquet team.

If it weren't for the endorsement of the two elders, it would be absolutely impossible for a senior chef Chu Yunfeng to "sneak" in. This is definitely the only one in history.

The preliminary members here are all technicians at the lowest level, and they still need to practice for several years. They can only officially serve after being approved by everyone.

Whether or not the dish can be produced is not up to you. It needs the approval of all the master chefs in the kitchen. This is because the dishes you make must be recognized by everyone in order to win such an honor.

It's not like a reserve member who just came in can serve the food immediately. This state banquet is the face of the country. If the food is not cooked well, big problems will occur.

Although Minister Wang had heard that the two elders praised Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills before, he felt a bit toothache when he saw the copy of the chef grade given to him by President Hou.

Senior chef!

He shook his head and returned to his office. There were still many things to be busy with this morning. It was a good thing for young people to go to the kitchen to see more.

Not only can you see the difference between here and the outside, but you can also learn a lot of skills from many masters. As for how much you can learn, it depends on you.

"You have no idea about the old man's decision, do you?"

After walking out of the building, President Hou led Chu Yunfeng to a tree-shaded path, which was still a few hundred meters away from the kitchen.

Chu Yunfeng laughed immediately: "I think it's good. If the result is the opposite, I will be very disappointed. You have been a witness along the way.

If you hadn't told me about the glorious past of Sichuan cuisine, found Mr. Li to help me, and supported me in many things, I might not be where I am today.

After all, you are my guide, and my grandfather’s approach is to make me improve more. I am not happy yet. "

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's understanding, President Hou couldn't help but nodded with relief. After getting along for such a long time, he still understood Chu Yunfeng's character.

Especially after going through so many things, he never forgets his original aspiration, has always insisted on his love of cooking, and is working hard on the road of inheriting and innovating traditional Sichuan cuisine.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have enjoyed their blessings long ago. With money that can’t be spent in a lifetime, how long will it take if I don’t enjoy it?

"This is all fate. The revival of traditional Sichuan cuisine is not that easy. I have persisted for 20 years, but it has never been effective. Now I finally see hope in you.

Come on, I believe you will carry forward traditional Sichuan cuisine. "

President Hou patted Chu Yunfeng on the shoulder, then nodded confidently, and led him into the sacred place.

After walking in here, Chu Yunfeng instantly felt a majestic aura. Whether it was the facilities, murals or porcelain, they all added to this atmosphere.

"You should have noticed, right? It's not that easy to let you come over this time?"

President Hou saw that Chu Yunfeng was shocked by the momentum here, and recalled that he was the same way back then, and then he started to get to the point.

"Well, can you tell me more about it?"

Chu Yunfeng was mentally prepared, but he could only guess what was going on. He was about to enter the highest palace in the culinary world, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

It is said that the facilities inside are very different from those outside, and the chefs inside also wear different clothes. They all wear the national team logo, which makes them look very cool.

Therefore, I have always had great curiosity in my heart, and I also want to see what this temple of culinary arts looks like.

"It's actually very simple to say, it's just a test, but this test is different from the previous ones. The details still depend on how the masters want to "play".

As I said before, how far you can go depends on your own strength and luck.

But your photographic memory seems to be quite an advantage, haha!

Okay, I’ve told you everything I need to tell you. Once you enter this door, it’s up to you. Let’s go in! "

There is something in President Hou's words. As soon as Chu Yunfeng heard about the test, he immediately became uncontrollably excited. Others were afraid of the test, but he liked it very much.

And he mentioned the matter of "photographic memory", so today's test is very interesting.

The kitchen at the state banquet was also very lively today. Just when President Hou and Chu Yunfeng were about to arrive, a lot of people had already gathered here.

In addition to the two elders, more than a dozen people can be seen here. Such a scene is rare.

"I said, Lao Liu, what's going on today? I'm on rest today, but you called me over? What's the matter, do you have any other tasks today?"

The speaker was Song Weidong, a master chef of Anhui cuisine. He was not tall, had a round face, fair skin, and looked like he had some baby fat. He did not look like someone in his 50s at all.

As soon as Master Song finished speaking, a female voice intervened: "Yes, Master Ji, didn't we already assign tasks at the meeting yesterday?
Why did you call everyone back?I was going to study the dishes at home today, but you called me. "

The female voice sounded a little rough, and it was easy to tell from the voice that the person's personality was careless, and one could also feel that the temper was a little hot.

There are two female cooks in this state banquet team, and the one who spoke is called Yang Haixia, who is a master of Hunan cuisine.

Now she is wearing a tall hat with her pigtails tied inside, otherwise you can still see her more childish side. She is also about the same age as Master Song, and Master Yang is also very good at taking care of her.

With these two masters taking the lead, the masters who were called started to make noises, wanting to know the reason for being called back.

"Go ahead!"

Mr. Ji chuckled, and after looking at Mr. Liu, he gave him the right to speak.

"A young master has joined us today. He asked you to come here to recognize his familiar face. Our welcome ceremony is indispensable."

Liu Laoyi mentioned that there were new people joining, which immediately aroused everyone's strong interest.

In particular, the three words "little master" are the most curious. How small can this "little" be?

"Newcomer, tell me earlier, what kind of food are you cooking?"

"You just said the little master? I heard it right, you can't be only in your thirties, it's really young."

"This newcomer has come in, and the welcome ceremony must be indispensable. Think about it, when I came in before, you almost ruined it."

"There is a good show today. Everyone, please take it easy. Don't frighten the newcomers and say that we use our strength to overwhelm others."

"When are you coming? We haven't had a newcomer here for quite some time. Now someone is here to help, haha!"

Seeing how interested everyone was in Chu Yunfeng, the two elders looked at each other and laughed in unison. This newcomer was not as simple as everyone thought.

First of all, his age will definitely exceed everyone's expectations.

The second is the cooking skills, which will definitely surprise these guys. The ones who really enjoy the show are not them, but Mr. Liu and Mr. Ji.

"The people have arrived and are going through the formalities over there. Everyone will be able to see it soon, so don't worry!"

When Mr. Ji saw that everyone was having fun, he also laughed unkindly, one laugh at another, but something funnier would happen soon.

"As for the name, let him introduce himself when the person arrives soon, but I can tell you in advance that he cooks Sichuan cuisine. After he comes, we will have two Sichuan cuisine chefs here."

Mr. Liu's words stunned these happy masters for a moment, and then everyone turned their attention to Feng Jianjun, Master Feng!
Master Feng is not tall and has a low profile. He is the only master chef in the team who makes Sichuan cuisine, and he can also make several traditional Sichuan dishes.

But he also has another identity, that is, the senior brother of Master Lin of Emei Restaurant, who started more than 20 years earlier than him.

Master Feng and Master Lin are from the same chef, so many dishes are similar, but there are also a few dishes that are different from each other.

Master Feng is now in his 60s, but he is highly skilled and was hired back.

The most famous dish is naturally Kung Pao Chicken. This dish’s status in the state banquet is difficult to replace.

And in terms of heat, Master Feng has more than 20 years of cooking experience, so he is naturally better than Master Lin.

The most amazing thing is that Master Feng also has two unique dishes passed down from his master. Even Master Lin doesn't know how to cook them, so Master Feng's cooking skills are evident.

But even so, the number of traditional Sichuan dishes that Master Feng can make is still too small. Except for Kung Pao Chicken, which has a relatively high visibility, the other dishes have very few clicks.

Therefore, in this team, Master Feng's presence is not very high, but after a new force came today, it seems that the status of this Sichuan cuisine has been elevated invisibly.

"Brother Feng, you are really good this time. You have to take care of this new guy. It's not easy to bring in someone who can cook Sichuan cuisine!"

Master Liu, who cooks Fujian cuisine, jokingly said that compared to other cuisines, the population of Sichuan cuisine is indeed not very prosperous.

"That's right, Brother Feng, let's train him properly. You can go home and rest when you have nothing to do. Finally, someone has replaced you on duty."

Master Jiang from Zhejiang Cuisine also said amusingly that when he was on duty in the past, everyone from the other seven major cuisines had someone to take turns, but only Master Feng had no one to take turns.

With such fun things happening, how could everyone hold back? They all "fired" at Master Feng, making Master Feng both depressed and a little happy.

At the same time, I was also a little worried.

I'm depressed because this Sichuan cuisine is really too small among the state banquet team. I'm happy because I have a partner here. I'm worried about whether this cooking skill can pass the test?
Just now I heard Mr. Liu say clearly that this is a "little master". According to Mr. Liu's description, he should be a chef in his thirties or forties.

Judging from his current age, he should not have had much exposure to traditional Sichuan cuisine, and he doesn't know if he was trained in a training class in the 80s.

If you had formal training in that era, your starting point would be relatively high, and you should still know a few traditional dishes. This would also slightly increase the serving rate of some Sichuan dishes.

However, since he can join this team, although he is still a preliminary, he must have his own special skills, and it is impossible for people who are just trying to sneak in.

Thinking about it this way, Master Feng is really looking forward to it!
So while he responded to everyone with a smile, he was thinking about what kind of dishes this new friend would cook.

This Chickpea Flower should be able to do it, right?
This is a very important dish. In addition, the Kung Pao Chicken should be cooked well. I don’t know how the heat is, so I will have to test it myself.

The more Master Feng thought about it, the happier he felt. It had been a long time since he had given his juniors any proper advice, especially the chef's precautions that he had to come down and explain to him.

There are also some research on some dishes in the future, uh~!This is a bit far-fetched, let’s talk about it later.

While some people were cooking and some were chatting, the kitchen door was pushed open, and the first person everyone saw was President Hou.

The masters here are all familiar with President Hou, but the young man following behind him seems a bit eye-catching!
This is the back kitchen, and ordinary people cannot enter, except President Hou, but what does this young man do? He looks so young, he looks like he is in his early twenties, right?
Could it be that President Hou brought his relatives in to gain some experience?

Is there any organizational discipline in this?

Just when everyone was very surprised, the second elder smiled and said: "Your kid is finally here, can't he run away this time?"

Hmm~?

what's the situation?
Could it be that this little guy who is so young is the new member mentioned by the second elder?
Is that the "little master"?
Are you kidding me?

How can this be?

The masters couldn't believe it at first, thinking they were dazzled, but President Hou's words immediately confirmed the matter.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Ji, my mission has been completed. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order. I finally escorted him over. I leave it to you to deal with him."
