Chapter 847 Windfall
Sit down and talk?

Chu Yunfeng was just getting started when he was suddenly stopped by Mr. Liu. He was still a little unresponsive for a moment, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Especially this last dish, which is a new traditional Sichuan dish that I have added. I really wanted to show it by myself, but I never expected that it would be interrupted suddenly.

"Oh well!"

Seeing President Hou nodding to himself, Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to put down the pots and spoons in his hands, took off his apron and walked over.

“It’s delicious, and the freshness has improved by three points. It’s really good!”

"When I tasted it before, there was a vague bitter taste, but now it seems to be completely gone. It seems that it is good to treat tofu like this."

"I'm curious, how did he come up with this step? You said that Master Yang has been making this dish for so many years, but he has never thought of such a method?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I think this little guy is not simple. We have to touch his bottom later!"

Chu Yunfeng made a lot of this group of An tofu. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and the master chefs in the kitchen had no work to do, so about twenty people gathered around.

Everyone was holding this "synthetic" tofu with a golden coat in their hands, and they all started talking quietly after tasting it.

The reason why you should keep your voice down is mainly for two reasons!
First, everyone suddenly realized that Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills were not in proportion to his young appearance. Second, they were afraid that Master Yang would feel embarrassed. After all, this was her specialty dish.

"Xiao Chu, come here and eat something first. You haven't had a good meal this noon. You've been doing this all day, are you hungry?"

Ji Lao smiled as he watched Chu Yunfeng walk over and handed him a spoon and a pair of chopsticks.

Not to mention, after Mr. Ji said this, Chu Yunfeng really felt a little hungry, and started eating roasted suckling pig first.

After letting it cool just now, I chopped it into small pieces with my unique knife skills, and then put it back together neatly and placed it on the wooden board to maintain a whole.

After each of the master chefs tasted one piece, there was still a lot left over. Of course they were not reserved when they were hungry and ate several pieces in a row.

I have to say that this exclusive recipe is different, especially after the addition of crispy water and honey, the roasted suckling pig is not only golden in color, but also the skin is crispy and fragrant, making Chu Yunfeng unable to stop eating it. a feeling of.

After eating these few pieces of hard food, my stomach finally calmed down and stopped growling.

And all the masters have been waiting for him. They have many questions in their hearts that they want to ask him for confirmation, so they are waiting for him to fill their stomachs first.

Only one person among them seemed relatively calm, and that was Master Feng.

This wonderful performance of Chu Yunfeng can be said to impress everyone, and I have this psychological expectation, so relatively speaking, I appreciate Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills and calm expression more.

"This roasted suckling pig is well done, I'll try it again!"

After seeing that Chu Yunfeng had almost finished eating, Mr. Liu broke the "deadlock" of waiting, and he immediately felt an agitated atmosphere at the scene.

"Xiao Chu, are you hiding deep enough? Tell me what other dishes you can cook?"

"Xiao Chu, who is your master, Taishan Beidou? Tell us and let us see him?"

"I just have a question. My secret recipe is unique. How did you know about it?"

"My secret recipe is unique among the others. I only changed it two days ago. Tell me how he knew it? What the hell?"

Master Wei and the others were still unable to hold back, so they immediately began to ask Chu Yunfeng for confirmation. They had been holding these words in their hearts for too long, and finally vomited them out.

"Uh~?"

Faced with the enthusiastic questioning of the masters, Chu Yunfeng didn't know who to answer first, but he couldn't avoid the core question.

So Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to tell the truth first: "I am now learning cooking from Mr. Li, but he does not accept apprentices. I can only watch him cook from the side. How much I can learn depends on myself." .”

It is naturally impossible for Mr. Li's name to convince the master chefs, but this resounding name can give everyone an intuitive impression and will not make his cooking skills appear so obtrusive.

In the eyes of these masters, it is impossible to achieve such achievements without the guidance of masters and masters. No one would believe it.

Therefore, Mr. Li's reputation can naturally make him look more powerful.

but!

Chu Yunfeng underestimated his ability to deceive. After saying this, he was immediately further attacked by Master Wei and others.

"Mr. Li? That Mr. Li who cooks Sichuan cuisine, his rules haven't changed yet?"

"If it's Mr. Li's words, it's justified. A famous teacher produces a good apprentice!"

"Mr. Li's research on Sichuan cuisine is indeed very impressive throughout his life. He can be called Taishan Beidou without exaggeration."

After everyone sighed, they immediately realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, isn't Mr. Li studying Sichuan cuisine? I cook Anhui cuisine. Is Mr. Li also good at Anhui cuisine?"

"Yes, I call Huaji. This is the authentic Jiangsu cuisine. When did Sichuan cuisine become so knowledgeable about Jiangsu cuisine?"

"That makes sense. My crispy roasted suckling pig is a Cantonese dish, but Xiao Chu, your whole cooking method is completely based on our Cantonese cuisine. You didn't learn this from Mr. Li, right?"

"No, no, even if you can learn a thing or two about cooking from Mr. Li, how do you explain that Mr. Li knows my unique secret recipe? Isn't this impossible?"

Master Wei and Master Sun became more and more excited as they talked, and there was a strong tendency to ask the question to the end, which made Chu Yunfeng have to pay attention.

Today's "game" did allow him to gain a lot, but it also brought many problems. Seeing that he couldn't get over it, Chu Yunfeng already had an excuse in his mind.

"Actually, when I tasted it before, I could tell it from the taste of the dishes. I am sensitive to spices, so I knew this recipe.

And I saw you cooking before, and I was lucky enough to guess it based on these two facts, luck, luck! "

luck?

This can't be explained by luck, there are still many things that don't make sense.

Chu Yunfeng avoided the serious matter and only mentioned the issue of spices. However, there was no reasonable explanation for the cooking method of this dish, which would not convince the master chefs.

"I remember Xiao Chu, you filled in the registration form this morning as a senior chef, right? The dishes you cook can be recognized by so many master chefs, so what's going on with your chef level?"

Minister Wang obviously saw that Chu Yunfeng was not willing to reveal his privacy, so he began to change the topic. This is also something that everyone cares about, so they all paid attention to it.

President Hou stood up at this moment and said with an apologetic look: "This is all my fault. The last time I took Xiao Chu to do an internal assessment, I first obtained a senior chef certificate.

This technician's level was not tested because he did not have enough working years, so he did not use this backdoor, which caused everyone to misunderstand. "

Misunderstand?

Not enough working years?

Everyone can understand the first question. This is because he wants to obtain the certificate based on his true ability. This is understandable. Instead, everyone looked at Chu Yunfeng with a high look.

But the issue of working years suddenly made everyone grasp an important point.

"Xiao Chu, how old are you this year?"

"Yes, how old is it?"

"It's strange. With your baby face, you don't look like you are 30 years old, do you?"

"Eh~? That's not right. How many years have you been a chef?"

Only now did everyone discover a core issue, Chu Yunfeng’s age.

And what Chu Yunfeng said next completely made everyone excited.
"I am 23 years old this year and have been working as a chef for five years."

The chef, who was still very noisy at first, immediately became quiet after hearing Chu Yunfeng's slightly embarrassed answer. Everyone could only hear the sound of breathing slowly.

Immediately thereafter, a commotion erupted.

"23 years old? Is it true or not?"

"Are you kidding me? Let me take a look at your ID card!"

"Minister Wang, is this true? Is this impossible?"

"Mr. Liu, do you know this? You're not lying to us, are you?"

The masters were all very excited, and when they looked at Chu Yunfeng, their expressions were a little more serious, more of an appreciation with a hint of doubt.

If Chu Yunfeng's age is really as he said, then this chef really has a treasure with a bright future.

A member of the state banquet preparation team who entered the kitchen at the age of 23 can have technician-level cooking skills, and his level can almost reach the level of a senior technician. Who has seen such a chef?
Mr. Liu himself was confused. He didn't know Chu Yunfeng's age. Even Mr. Ji was the same. They all thought that Chu Yunfeng was at least 28 years old.

But who would have thought that Chu Yunfeng was only 23 years old. No wonder he only received a senior chef certificate.

The most surprised people at the scene were Section Chief Yu and Minister Wang. Especially the turmoil in Minister Wang's heart was already as violent as a storm.

After seeing Chu Yunfeng's age for the first time, Minister Wang knew that Chu Yunfeng must be here for gold plating. He wanted to get his name in the kitchen first, and then look for opportunities for promotion later.

Without him!

You only need to look at Chu Yunfeng’s senior chef certificate to understand!

It is almost impossible to get a technician certificate at this age.

Because there is a rigid requirement for a technician's chef certificate, that is, the age must be 30 years old, and a senior technician must be over 32 years old.

Therefore, according to Chu Yunfeng's age, senior chefs are already his ceiling, unless it is through connections, or through some special events, etc.

And Chu Yunfeng was the one the old man was interrogating. Based on these information, Minister Wang naturally understood that he wanted to give him a golden opportunity, so he didn't care much about Chu Yunfeng's performance in joining the kitchen.

But now it seems that it is completely opposite to what I imagined. What is this situation?

Could it be that this guy is a genius?

And he is also a genius among geniuses?
At this moment, Minister Wang suddenly understood the old man's intention. This was not to gild Chu Yunfeng, but to give him a chance to shine. At the same time, it also gave him a layer of protection so that he could express himself freely.

After understanding the old man's good intentions, Minister Wang sighed silently and said: "It is indeed true. I have seen Xiao Chu's ID card and it is true that he is 23 years old this year.

The president did the right thing at this time. He did not meet the 30-year-old rigid standard and was right not to get the technician certificate, otherwise some people would question it. "

Minister Wang's words stunned the masters. No one had thought of this problem just now. Age seemed to be a problem.

"Only 23 years old? I was still working as an apprentice at that time?"

"At this age, I am still being beaten by my master. I can't even cook a dish. I am doing odd jobs every day."

"How do you think he developed his cooking skills? Why do I feel like my life has been in vain compared to him?"

Too young to get a technician certificate?
Mr. Liu shook his head, somewhat disapproving of this. He and Mr. Ji made eye contact, and then asked: "What do you think of Xiao Chu's cooking skills?

Can I get a technician-level certificate at this level? "

"I think it's okay, it just depends on what everyone thinks?"

Mr. Ji was the first to express his support. He also glanced at Chu Yunfeng and nodded to express his approval. Chu Yunfeng's performance today was really amazing and it touched him greatly. .

uh~?

Masters, you look at me and I look at you, they are all thinking about this issue, and then everyone gave a unanimous opinion.

That is - agree!
Just kidding, I made so many dishes in front of everyone just now. They were no different from what I made myself. It could even be said that they were slightly better than the ones I cooked. It was very convincing.

He was originally planning to give him a blow, but who could have imagined that it would turn out to be a turn of events and Chu Yunfeng would teach him a good lesson.

The masters who reacted naturally knew that there was some instigation from Mr. Li and Mr. Ji, not to mention the bad idea from President Hou. This was definitely his doing, and only he would think of plotting against everyone.

But it doesn't matter. If it weren't for this, no one would be able to discover Chu Yunfeng's brilliance.

Chefs, especially those at the level of master chefs, like to see newcomers emerge. They will not suppress such newcomers, but will give them a boost from behind.

Everyone's philosophy is very simple, that is, being able to promote the progress of food culture is a sentiment, and they often have a hint of admiration for people who are better at cooking than themselves.

These are the traditions and concepts left by the older generation, and they have been well inherited by everyone.

"Haha, Minister Wang, everyone has unanimously agreed. It has passed our unanimous test. Let's see if we can handle this matter specially for Xiao Chu?

This 23-year-old technician should be the first one in China. How about we do something special? "

Mr. Liu naturally knew that this was an excellent opportunity, and of course he had to fight for benefits for Chu Yunfeng.

"Hmm~! It's not easy to pass everyone's test. That's no problem. I'll go back and write an application later. Everyone just signs and goes through the process."

How could you not do this favor?Minister Wang agreed immediately.

The master chefs present are naturally sharp-eyed. Chu Yunfeng's level is currently at the level of a technician, but when it comes to cooking, he is indeed extremely eye-catching.

Chu Yunfeng was obviously more evasive about how he made these dishes. After asking twice in a row, it was hard for everyone to continue asking. After all, this was other people's privacy.

When Chu Yunfeng saw that everyone no longer asked this question, he was relieved and quickly thanked everyone. The technician level certificate came at a time that surprised him.

It can be considered a good unexpected harvest.

However, not everyone would let him go. Master Yang finally asked the biggest question in his mind: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​improving this Daozuan tofu in this way?"
