Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

The cooking technician level examination that Du Shaojie took this time was held at White Swan.

He arrived at the examination room early, and the judges arrived shortly afterwards.

There are a total of five chefs applying for the culinary technician position this time, and most of them are older, so his young face looks very eye-catching.

But someone on the jury knew him.

"Du Shaojie, Chairman of [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Company], owns sub-brands such as [Xichuan Restaurant], [Seafood House], and [Northwest Noodle House].

I heard that he learned from the famous Sichuan cuisine chef Liao Yongxin, and is good at cooking Sichuan, Cantonese, Hunan cuisine, etc. He is a very capable chef. "

Someone whispered Du Shaojie's situation to the judges, and everyone was surprised.

The identities of the chef and the boss overlap, the key is that they both know [Xichuan Restaurant] and [Seafood House].

[Xichuan Restaurant] has been developing rapidly in recent years. When the time-honored Sichuan restaurants were still dominating the local area, it had already expanded across the country.

Relatively speaking, the influence of [Seafood House] is limited to Guangdong Province.

Given Du Shaojie's background, the judges basically gave up the idea of ​​suppressing him.

According to convention, out of the five candidates today, at most two can advance, and the other three will have to wait until the next exam.

Technicians and senior technicians are not cabbages on the street. Scarcity makes them valuable, so of course the total quantity must be controlled.

But obviously, they will not make things difficult for this big boss in the catering industry.

With his background and strength as a guarantee, Du Shaojie will be treated fairly. As long as his level is high enough, promotion to cooking technician is a sure thing.

Today, he needs to make two dishes. One is a basic dish, which is the same for all five people, and is called "Fish-flavored Shredded Pork". The other is a creative dish, which can be freely created.

[Fish-flavored Shredded Pork] is Du Shaojie's specialty. He has previously spent money to upgrade it to his current highest level and is now very adept at making it.

The innovative dish is the new version of [Hibiscus Fish Slice]. Although the name is the same, it has been greatly changed compared to the traditional [Hibiscus Fish Slice].

He modified this dish bit by bit and he is also very adept at it.

The judges gave high praise to these two dishes. Du Shaojie got a high score and was undoubtedly the first to be awarded.

After the exam was over, Du Shaojie invited the judges of the exam to have a meal.

What to eat is not important, because everyone wants to get to know each other, so they hit it off immediately and all give Du Shaojie face.

Now that Du Shaojie has successfully obtained the qualification of a cooking technician, he belongs to the same class as everyone here.

Luo Sankun, the head chef of [Yangcheng Restaurant], immediately took out an invitation letter at the table and invited Du Shaojie to join the Yangcheng Cooking Association.

"Mr. Du, your business is going to be big. Joining the association will only benefit you. According to your situation, you will most likely get the title of executive director in the association's re-election in three months."

Luo Sankun introduced the benefits of joining the association with a smile, which made Du Shaojie interested.

He himself doesn't care, but there are so many chefs in the company, and as a boss he has to fight for some rights for them.

"Thank you, Chef Luo! Thank you, everyone."

Du Shaojie decided to join the association, and the relationship between everyone became closer.

After eating and drinking, the meal ended.

Next, the news that Du Shaojie was successfully promoted to "cooking technician" spread, and Liao Yongxin and others were very excited.

The company now has one more "cooking technician", which is not only a matter of face but will also increase the company's foundation.

Du Shaojie joined the [Yangcheng Cooking Association] as promised and became one of the top figures in the local industry. In the future, if the chefs under the company take the level examination, even if they are not given special treatment, at least basic fairness can be guaranteed.

That day, Lin Zhiyuan called and congratulated Du Shaojie.

"Director Lin, even you know about this? Well, let's go to the fish restaurant this weekend. I'll cook a few dishes myself, and we can have a few drinks."

Du Shaojie thought they should celebrate, so he made an appointment with the other party for the weekend.

After hanging up the phone, he personally called Ye Weiming, Jiao Hongtao and others. They all said that they had time on the weekend and they would get together then.

It just so happened that Cai Jing was in Yangcheng for some business these days, so he also invited her, and she also readily agreed.

The day has come.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli arrived at the fish restaurant in advance.

"Boss Du, these are the ingredients you need. Do you think you need anything?"

Wu Dazhui received the news two days ago and started working before dawn today. Now he has prepared all kinds of ingredients.

Du Shaojie went to the kitchen to take a look and saw that the other party had prepared everything, so he smiled and thanked them.

He plans to cook himself today, mainly seafood and fish dishes.

Among them is the dish he took the exam for, [Fish Slices in Lotus Root], as well as [Sea Cucumber in Abalone Sauce], [Baked Lobster with Cheese and Butter], [Chaozhou Frozen Flower Crab], [Boiled Conch], [Spicy Fish], [Eel Paste with Crispy Oil], [Chaozhou Pickled Shrimp] and other dishes.

Today's dishes are a little more difficult to prepare, and Wu Dazhui and his friends can't make them.

After these dishes are cooked, the remaining vegetables and the fish restaurant's specialties can be left to them to prepare.

It's approaching noon.

Cai Jing, Liang Meiqin, Lin Zhiyuan, Ye Weiming, Jiao Hongtao and others arrived one after another. Du Shaojie greeted them and went into the kitchen to start working. One after another delicious dishes with good color, fragrance and taste were served on the table, and several people stared at them with their eyes wide open.

These dishes are more beautiful than each other, and the presentation is very exquisite. Just looking at them can whet everyone's appetite.

"This is probably Mr. Du's true level. I'm in for a treat today."

Lin Zhiyuan and Cai Jing were having a good chat. He pointed at the table full of dishes and spoke with emotion.

Cai Jing agreed deeply. It can be seen that Du Shaojie put a lot of thought into preparing this table today, which perfectly embodied the words "high standards, high quality".

After Du Shaojie finished making the last dish, he changed his clothes, walked into the private room and sat down.

"Congratulations to Mr. Du for his promotion to cooking technician!"

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Du Shaojie, even Cai Jing and Liang Meiqin drank white wine.

Then everyone started to eat, and everyone was immersed in the ultimate delicious enjoyment.

Really, the quality of this table of food is hard to find even in a big restaurant or hotel. Although the dining environment of the fish restaurant is average, who would care about such trivial matters when the food is so delicious?
After dinner, Lin Zhiyuan and others left.

Du Shaojie, Cai Jing and Liang Meiqin went home together and continued to drink tea and chat.

"Shaojie, I'm so sorry. Meiqin and I have to rush back today. After this busy period, I will give Meiqin ten days off so that she can have a good rest, okay?"

After chatting for about an hour, Cai Jing stood up and said goodbye.

The company is about to enter the next project and is very busy with all kinds of trivial matters.

"It's okay. Just be careful on the road and ask the driver to drive slower."

Liang Meiqin quietly revealed a helpless expression, but Du Shaojie didn't care and then sent them to the car.

Cai Jing and Liang Meiqin waved at him and walked away.

Du Shaojie turned around and went upstairs, took a shower first, and then took stock of his gains.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: Cooking Technician]

[Current works: Shredded pork with fish sauce, lotus fish fillet (×2), braised sea cucumber with abalone sauce, baked lobster with cheese and butter, [Chaozhou frozen flower crab], [Boiled conch], [Spicy fish], [Eel paste with fried oil], [Chaozhou pickled shrimp]]

[Special Reward: None]

[Exchange points: 182918 points\656066 points]

【Duration: 49 million hours\1035.30 million hours】

Today's income is the income from the exam day to now. It is not much, but it also increases the remaining time that is about to bottom out.

But what made him even happier was that he not only successfully promoted himself to a cooking technician, but also joined the "Yangcheng Cooking Association." In the past, he could also join the association, but he could only be an unknown ordinary member.

Now with the recommendation of Luo Sankun and others, he will start as a director, and may even become an executive director when the election comes.

If he had this identity at the beginning, Zhang Yufa would not dare to use tricks against him. Although the "Cooking Association" is only an industry self-regulatory organization, the power it contains should not be underestimated.

The next period of time.

Du Shaojie, Luo Sankun and others moved around more often.

Sometimes, everyone would learn from each other's skills, and sometimes they would come to each other's rescue and show off their unique skills on appropriate occasions.

At other times, Du Shaojie often went to the fish restaurant, where he could practice his cooking skills. How could it be as convenient as this at home? There were not many people at home, and he couldn't invite guests every day. If he cooked too much, it would definitely be a waste.

The fish restaurant is a business place, and there are not so many requirements. Du Shaojie's appearance as a "foreign aid" from time to time will not affect anything.

Two months later, Du Shaojie had accumulated 100 dishes that received a comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", which brought him 10 redemption points and 200 million hours of general time.

With these incomes, he naturally would not be polite. He immediately spent 10 exchange points and 200 million hours to raise the overall evaluation of the other 100 essential dishes to the level of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver".

One in and one out, they just cancel each other out.

But the dishes that Du Shaojie can get as rewards are much richer, so it is still worth it.

[Exchange points: 182918 points\756066 points]

【Duration: 49 million hours\1235.30 million hours】

Having finally overcome the difficult period after the breakthrough, Du Shaojie arrived in Shenzhen with a sense of relief.

Then, he spent half a day every day dealing with the backlog of official business, and the other half a day exercising. Now that fitness is on the rise, he learned to swim, play badminton, and occasionally use equipment for exercise.

However, he has no interest in becoming a muscular man, so he always controls the amount of exercise.

Of course, I didn't give up cooking, and sometimes I would cook dinner for Mikoto, but I would take some time every day to do simulation training, but the intensity was significantly reduced compared to before the exam. (End of this chapter)
