Chapter 138 Spring Roll
Jiang Yang was still a little puzzled and said, "The Chefs Association doesn't care?"

Xu Gaowei smiled slightly, and said, "Care? They want to do this. You have to know that one of the responsibilities of the Chefs Association is the employment of chefs. People from these hotels and restaurants come to recruit chefs, which also solves the employment problem of many chefs."

Jiang Yang was thoughtful, and it turned out that an exam was not as simple as imagined.

"And..." Xu Gaowei said again: "These people come, but they have to pay a lot of money for the entrance fee."

Jiang Yang was surprised and said, "Didn't you say it was for the Chefs Association to solve the employment problem?"

"That's right, but the Chefs Association still needs an entrance fee, and they are very willing to pay it." Xu Gaowei said.

"Why?" Jiang Yang was puzzled.

"Because of competition! There are only so many good chefs. Once they are snatched away by other hotels or restaurants, the loss is not just a little ticket fee. More importantly, the reviewers of the exam will make comments and scores. In this way, It is clear at a glance who has a high level and who has a low level. There are not many times when you shop around like this, do you think they are willing to pay the entrance fee?" Xu Gaowei said.

Jiang Yang suddenly realized that it was actually a matter of talent competition.

"As for the second-level chefs you said no one visits, it's actually unnecessary. There are a lot of second-level chefs, but the first-level chefs are different. Even if they don't pass the exam, they are still the most powerful ones among the second-level chefs. Approved." Xu Gaowei said.

Jiang Yang nodded, and he asked the last question in his mind: "In this way, most of the chefs have jobs, so how do they recruit them?"

"Better remuneration, higher wages. The liquidated damages will be paid for you, so why can't you recruit?" Xu Gaowei said.

"What if the liquidated damages are too high?" Jiang Yang said.

Xu Gaowei didn't explain, just smiled mysteriously.

Just when the two were talking about this, there was only one voice: "The exam begins!"

The chefs on the stage all started to work together, and all kinds of knives dazzled the eyes.

The short chef that Jiang Yang paid attention to before was even more exaggerated. I saw that his hands moved quickly, and the shreds of unknown ingredients were cut out one by one.If you don't look carefully, you may not even see this thread.

And the middle-aged chef didn't have any exaggeration, he just cut vegetables and handled the ingredients in a regular manner.Among the many chefs, he is the most inconspicuous one.

This made Jiang Yang wonder if he felt wrong.Immediately he dismissed the idea because he saw one thing.

The middle-aged chef's movements are very steady and smooth!It was as if he had rehearsed it countless times.

At this moment Xu Gaowei did not speak, but quietly looked at the stage.Together with the chefs who had been whispering before, they all shut up and focused on the exam.

In the auditorium, those audiences were not idle, but took out a small notebook to record something.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Yang also learned something from these chefs who took the exam.As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher, even if these chefs are not chefs, there are always things worth learning.

The first exam was coming to an end, and finally, someone finished it first!

The man brought the cooked dishes to the jury, and Jiang Yang followed the man to the jury.

After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help being startled, his first teacher—Xu Zheng was actually in the jury!Lin Yong from the Chefs Association was also there.The rest of the chefs, Jiang Yang, didn't know each other, but they vaguely saw familiar faces, and they must have seen them before, but they just couldn't remember.

After several chefs in the jury tasted it, one of the chefs commented that it was unqualified, which made that chef turn pale.

After that, he went back to the stove in a daze, packed up his things and got off the ring, but he didn't leave, as if he was waiting for something.

The first chef failed to pass, which also increased the pressure on the chefs behind.

One after another, the chefs completed the dishes.Unfortunately, so far, none of them have passed!

The invisible pressure is getting bigger and bigger, even the chef who has not yet taken the exam has a dignified face.

Soon, it was the turn of the short chef Jiang Yang was paying attention to.

His dishes are covered with lids, and it is not yet possible to see what is inside.

Jiang Yang watched, the short chef opened the lid, and there were a few balls of thread inside!

Yes, the colorful ones are just like the kind of thread balls used for sewing clothes.

"Tell me what you think." Lin Yong said to the short chef.

This sentence is repeated countless times, which is to ask the chef's understanding of the topic of this exam.

The short chef said with a slight smile: "The thread in the hands of the loving mother, and the clothes on the body of the wanderer. This thread represents the mother's care and worry for the wanderer. Every stitch and thread is the deepest maternal love. So I made this thread as a form of expression. vegetable."

Lin Yong nodded. Although this explanation is not accurate enough, it is still acceptable, at least not off topic.

Next came the dish tasting session. Several chefs on the jury each picked up a ball of thread and put it in their mouths to taste it carefully.

Lin Yong was chewing, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this a spring roll?"

The short chef was taken aback for a moment, and then he admired Lin Yong, as expected of being the president of the Chefs Association, his strength is really amazing!

"It's spring rolls, but it's different from traditional spring rolls. It can be said that it was born out of traditional spring rolls. The thing on it looks like a thread, but it's actually made of filaments cut from different ingredients. There is a thin layer of The dough is the stuffing inside." Xu Zheng said.

Then he tasted another one and said: "Just relying on this knife skill is enough to pass."

Lin Yong nodded and said, "That's right, the idea and knife workmanship are really good."

At this time, another chef said: "The yellow silk is pumpkin, the white one is winter melon, and the green one is bitter melon. It is indeed a very thoughtful dish. It tastes like the sweetness of pumpkin, the slight bitterness of bitter melon, and the fragrance of winter melon." , each taste has its own flavor.”

"The stuffing inside is also good, the cabbage is crispy but not raw, and the dough is firm." Another chef said.

The short boy smiled slightly. He had thought about this dish for a long time, and the knife skill handled the ingredients extremely well.He is confident to pass this exam.

After all the judges commented, they got together to discuss for a while, and Lin Yong stood up and said, "Zeng Xianjun passed!"

The short chef, Zeng Xianjun, clenched his fist hard. Having confidence and knowing that he passed are two different things.

Hearing someone passing by, the invisible pressure was also relieved.Jiang Yang's face was serious. The chef named Zeng Xianjun put him under a lot of pressure.Jiang Yang also looked sideways at his knife skills. He asked himself that he was far from reaching this level now.

The strands that are as thin as a hair can be wrapped around the dough so that it does not fall off. This knife skills...

Zeng Xianjun packed up the kitchen utensils and left the stage to wait, but he did not leave.

The test on stage was still going on, but unfortunately no one passed except Zeng Xianjun.

When the exam time was almost up, it was finally the turn of the middle-aged chef.

Jiang Yang looked at the chef. If he didn't miss it, this chef might be the second chef to pass.

He walked steadily and walked towards the jury without any haste.

It is also a dish covered with a lid, and no one knows what is inside until it is opened.

Walking up to the jury, the middle-aged chef lifted the lid.

Jiang Yang's eyes widened suddenly, this... this is!
