Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 91 No comparison, no harm

As Cao Dachuan inspected the area, not only Dong Jun but also several other people were scolded.

"You guys always complain about not having the chance to cook. The problem is that even if you were given the chance, you wouldn't be able to do anything! Go away, stay aside and let someone else take over!"

The purpose of today is to train the team, and Cao Dachuan wants to stimulate these guys.

Managing such a large restaurant, he naturally understood the "catfish effect", and Du Shaojie was the catfish in his mind. As for whether it would bring hatred to the other party, this issue was not within the scope of Manager Cao's consideration at all.

Based on Du Shaojie's background, who would dare to hate him? Is it useful to hate him?
So, many misunderstandings come from this. What background does Du Shaojie have? He has no background at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to a farm.

But Cao Dachuan didn’t know, and neither did anyone else.

"You are so good, Cao Dachuan, you actually use me as a target to motivate your employees. But it doesn't matter, I won't stay here for long, so I can do whatever I want."

Du Shaojie knew very well that if he couldn't see through such a small trick after living for two lifetimes, then he would have lived a dog's life at his age.

He then continued to cook without distraction until he finished the rest of the [Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin] and then left his workstation.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhong Fuxiang was as frugal with words as ever, and then he called Dong Jun and others together to demonstrate the next dish to them.

It is not clear whether the participants who have already registered are satisfied with today's dishes, but the kitchen has become a real "teaching base".

There are people teaching by example and practicing, and there are also practical operations. How can you find such a good thing in normal times?

After lunch, Du Shaojie returned to the dormitory to rest.

Dong Jun was lying on the lower bunk, staring at the upper bunk, not knowing what he was thinking.

Du Shaojie did not disturb him. After lying down, he entered the simulation training scene. In short, the practical scope of the exam is three dishes. If you practice them to the "lower middle" level of the simulation evaluation, there should be no suspense in passing the third-level chef exam.

After going in and out of the simulated training scene several times, he felt a little tired and stopped.

In the afternoon, the conference organizing committee sent over dining arrangements.

There are a total of fifty-six tables for dinner, and this number will be fixed for the next few days.

All participants have completed the registration. There will be an experience exchange session in the afternoon, and it will be almost time for dinner after that.

Du Shaojie was busy the whole afternoon. He and Dong Jun had not switched positions yet. He would probably have to work as a waiter after hosting this meeting.

Zhong Fuxiang discussed with the second and third kitchen staff and decided to bring out two dishes for everyone to practice.

The other dishes were still prepared by them, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee the overall quality of the dishes. If they caused dissatisfaction among the participants, it would be troublesome.

The two dishes for training newcomers were served last. Zhong Fuxiang and his colleagues were always there to provide guidance to ensure that the quality of the dishes was above the passing line.

Du Shaojie also got the chance to cook, the same number of times as everyone else, and did not receive any special care.

After all the dishes were served, Zhong Fuxiang asked everyone to gather together and began to comment on everyone's previous performance in detail.

"Dong Jun, there are quite a few problems with the [Stir-fried Kidney] you made just now. First of all, you didn't control the heat well enough. The key to this dish is strong fire and high oil temperature.

Secondly, this is a quick dish, and you were at least ten seconds late in cooking. However, you are still making progress, keep working on it! "

Zhong Fuxiang called out the names one by one, and finally it was Du Shaojie's turn.

"Xiao Du, the [Stir-fried Kidney] you made is better, but the problem is that the oil temperature is a little bit higher. Although this will not affect the taste and texture of the dish, it will affect the appearance of the dish, do you understand?"

"Understood! I will pay attention next time."

Du Shaojie had discovered this problem before. Due to the high fire and slightly higher oil temperature, two or three pieces of kidney had a little burnt color on their surfaces.

Although the kidneys were difficult to see because of the sauce, he still humbly accepted the criticisms in line with the principle of continuous improvement.

"Hahaha"

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. The chefs who were receiving comments, especially Dong Jun, were originally humble, fearing that Du Shaojie would perform well again and make themselves look useless.

But to everyone's surprise, the other party was also criticized.

Everyone burst into laughter spontaneously, as if this finally allowed them to stand up straight again.

It’s like there is a top student in a class at school, and the teacher often uses the top student’s grades to criticize everyone else. As a result, after this exam, the top student’s grades are almost the same as theirs. How satisfying it is!
"What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh at Xiao Du? You really don't know what you are talking about."

Sanzao couldn't bear it and couldn't help but shout.

These guys don't have any self-awareness at all, and still haven't realized the gap between themselves and others.

Shame on you!
"Have you all failed to notice one fact? When Chef Zhong commented on your dishes, he did not mention the appearance of the dishes at all.

Master Zhong's judgment on you is based on the standards of a third-level chef, and the judgment on Xiao Du is based on the standards of a second-level chef."

Erzao followed suit and everyone, who were so excited just now, suddenly became silent and their faces became uglier than each other.

It's like a first-grade student and a poor student both got 80 points on the test. Before the poor student could be happy for even a minute, he suddenly found out that the top student had done the test paper of a second-grade student. How can they compare? There is absolutely no comparison.

Zhong Fuxiang didn't say anything, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his mood at the moment.

It is definitely a great thing that Xiao Du is seconded to our unit. If used properly, it will definitely enable the young chefs of the unit to grow quickly.

Of course, we can't hit these guys too hard, or we can't destroy their confidence.

"Okay, everyone has made progress, and we should see that. People don't necessarily have to surpass every leader, but they must constantly surpass themselves."

After giving a slap in the face, Zhong Dexiang spoke again, affirming everyone's progress. Then, he waved his hand and signaled to disperse.

Du Shaojie hurried to do his work. He was too tired to complain about being caught in the crossfire again.

After getting home from get off work, Du Shaojie didn't want to move at all.

Xiaomei was very considerate and prepared the water for her brother to wash his face. He felt more energetic after washing his face.

"Xiao Jie, Manager Zhao came by at noon. He brought some fresh vegetables, saying they were grown in the greenhouse on the farm. I asked him to sit for a while, but he said he had something to do, so he put down his things and left."

Wang Yuxiu then remembered what happened at noon and told Du Shaojie that Zhao Dajun had been there.

Zhao Dajun went to the bureau to do some work today and brought some vegetables to Du Shaojie.

"I see. Director Zhao didn't say anything else?"

Du Shaojie smiled knowingly. Although Zhao Dajun was a straightforward person, he was still good at winning people's hearts.

However, it's not a festival now, so there's no need to make a special trip. I'm afraid there are other things to do.

"Director Zhao said that if you are free on New Year's Day, he will ask you to go back. There will be a dinner party at that time, and everyone hopes that you can cook."

When Du Shaojie heard this, he understood.

He is not sure whether he can make the trip at that time, so he will wait and see before Yuandan arrives.

While they were talking, Xiaomei brought him some water for washing feet. He had no choice but to soak his feet first and then wash his socks.

Du Shaojie went into his room only after everyone had rested.

As usual, first check today’s harvest.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: First-class worker]

[Current works: Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried kidney]

【Overall evaluation: Next】

[Bonus: Hotel Management Tutorial (XI) (XII)]

[Rewards: Pig large intestine (2 kg), pig kidney (2 kg), simulation training time (40 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

【Duration: 320 hours\750 hours】

He has been frantically doing simulation training these two days, consuming 60 hours of time. Adding the 40 hours of time rewarded this time, the remaining time is still above 300 hours (320 hours).

Next, he tried his best to enter the simulation training scenes several times. After spending 40 hours, he finally stabilized [Chicken Slices with Lotus Root] at the "middle-lower" level of the simulation evaluation.

"It's finally stable now! As long as I practice the basics for a while, I should have no problem passing the Level 3 chef exam."

Du Shaojie plans to further strengthen his theoretical knowledge, knife skills, and side dishes. Knife skills and side dishes can be practiced during working hours, while theoretical knowledge needs to be memorized.

The exam is divided into two parts: written test and practical test. You cannot pass the written test if you fail.

The next day.

As soon as Du Shaojie started working, he was assigned to the cooking station and exchanged positions with Dong Jun.

He originally thought that this matter would have to wait until the end of this meeting, but who knew it would be arranged so soon.

Dong Jun did not complain. Perhaps he was awakened by the reality, or perhaps he had accepted his fate. In any case, the two of them completed their job transition in a dull manner.

But from this moment on, Du Shaojie also lost the opportunity to cook.

In Zhong Fuxiang's words, he should not compete for opportunities with Dong Jun and others. After all, they are no longer on the same level, so he should just develop his own style.

When the meeting ended, a dinner was arranged that evening. The food standard of this meal was raised to a higher level and was prepared according to the third-level food standard.

The chefs of Zhongfu Xianghe Hotel showed off their skills, and the wonderful learning and training experience for the young chefs came to an end.

This meal received unanimous praise from the majority of participants, but some people were also wondering why the food today tasted better than the previous days. It was really strange.

Next, Du Shaojie concentrated on preparing for the exam.

In addition to completing my job duties, the rest of the time is either spent memorizing theoretical knowledge or looking for opportunities to enter simulated training scenarios to practice various dishes.

It is good to have some time to settle down. Du Shaojie systematically sorted out the theoretical knowledge and various skills. Unknowingly, his overall cooking skills have made great progress.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and accordingly, the remaining simulation training time has almost been used up.

【Duration: 8 hours\750 hours】

With only 8 hours left in the simulation training, Du Shaojie took the qualification exam for Level Chinese Cuisine (Cooking) Chef.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!

　　Thank you all!
