After rehearsing the cooking process, the next step is for the judges to taste and score.
Afterwards, each contestant will have a self-introduction and an opportunity to communicate with the judges.
The last part of the process is the biggest highlight of the game.
Apprenticeship.
However, the specific plan for the apprenticeship link has not yet been finalized.
So there will be a formal rehearsal.
At that time, everyone needs to simulate and practice according to the regular competition procedures.
Including makeup and dressing up, from simulating the entire cooking operation of the competition to checking the required vegetables and kitchen utensils, no one is left behind to ensure that nothing goes wrong on the day of the competition.
After today's rehearsal, there was no dinner party arranged, but a small gift was given to each contestant.
Fu Yu carried his things and got into a taxi, opened the box and took a look.
It is a specialty pastry gift box from a chain cake shop in this city. In addition, there is an envelope, which contains a hundred yuan shopping coupon. You can go to this cake shop to exchange for any pastries you like.
Fu Yu doesn't usually like sweets. When he saw this box of exquisite snacks, the first person he thought of was his future master's wife Dai Li.
Dai Li's daughter Xiaobao'er liked these very much, so she could give them to Zhao Meng and ask him to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha.
So after returning to Qianlima, Fu Yu went back to the dormitory to put away his things.
Then he found an opportunity to tell Zhao Meng the matter.
Zhao Meng was not polite and patted Fu Yu on the shoulder very happily: "Not bad, keep up the good work."
Fu Yu chuckled.
Zhao Meng then suddenly remembered something, then looked around and asked in a voice that could only be heard between the two of them: "By the way, did you give Chef Yao a commission when you took the order for the medicinal diet this time?"
Fu Yu was stunned: "What commission?"
Zhao Meng was speechless: "The medicinal diet you made at Renjia Music Restaurant used ingredients and venues there. What commission do you want?"
Fu Yu suddenly realized, stretched out his hand and patted his head: "I didn't think about this at all!"
Zhao Meng stared: "Do you still need me to teach you?"
Fu Yu: "..."
After Zhao Meng finished training the people, he went to work.
Fu Yu finally thought about it. He really had to give Yao Shi some commission. No matter how much it was, it was still a sign of appreciation.
But how much should this be given?
He has never done this before and has no experience.
Fu Yu wanted to discuss it with Zhao Meng, but the kitchen became busy.
When the kitchen was finally not busy anymore, Yao Shi came over and called Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu to discuss the National Day activities in the store.
Finally looking forward to getting off work, Zhao Meng hurriedly went to deliver cakes to Dai Li.
Fu Yu really had no choice but to go to the front hall to find Yao Shi with this tangled mood.
He caught up with Yao Shi in the parking lot.
Yao Shi was about to open the door and get in the car. He was surprised to see Fu Yu and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Do you want to see me?"
Fu Yu chuckled, and then asked with a guilty conscience: "Chef Yao, are you in a hurry to go home? I, I want to treat you to a midnight snack."
Yao Shi rolled his eyes and looked around, and then looked at Fu Yu: "Let me try to guess, am I right? You should want to... give me money? This order of medicinal food is for Commission?”
Fu Yu was stunned: "Chef Yao, you..."
Yao Shi opened the car door: "I didn't introduce you to the customers. What kind of commission do you give me? This order is the customer you brought in yourself, and you also left the customers in the music restaurant. After all, I didn't give you any commission." Even if you take a commission, you will suffer a loss.”
He smiled slightly and narrowed the corners of his eyes with a faint line: "You are not taking advantage of me in this matter. After all, the customers think you are the chef of the music restaurant. In the future, if your reputation spreads, our music restaurant will also benefit from it. It’s like giving me free advertising.”
"You, finish this order well. Even if you live up to my hard work of lending you the space and allowing you to do private work during working hours, I will also provide you with various conveniences and help you come up with ideas."
Fu Yu hurriedly said: "Chef Yao, don't worry. If it weren't for her order being too simple and not too difficult, I promise to make you a top-notch medicinal diet."
Yao Shi laughed: "Okay, I will remember your words! When you develop well in the future, you must bring a reputation for top-notch medicinal food here."
He sat in the cab and opened the window: "Xiao Fu, maybe in a while, you will actually have to ask me for commissions!"
After saying this, Yao Shi drove away without waiting for Fu Yu to react.
Fu Yu looked at the polished black domineering car and felt excited.
Does this mean that he will be able to earn a lot of extra money soon?
...
Five days after the last rehearsal, Fu Yu received another notice asking him to go to the Sanjiang Tourism Festival event to participate in the official rehearsal.
Fu Yu was familiar with the route and took a taxi there.
This time there was plenty of time, and Fu Yu arrived at the place early.
The receptionist took Fu Yu to the locker room.
Fu Yu changed into competition-specific clothing.
A white long-sleeved top, a double-row diagonally buttoned small V-neck chef's jacket, paired with a pair of black standard pants, with the competition's logo printed on the left chest.
The style is simple and elegant. Fu Yu's original body proportions are very good. Putting on the brand new chef uniform shows a different temperament.
When Fu Yu changed his clothes and came out, the staff informed him that the planners from the publicity department were meeting with the judges.
Fu Yu followed her line of sight and saw a group of people sitting together in a temporary color board room opposite, having a heated discussion.
The color board room was not soundproof, so Fu Yu could vaguely hear voices coming from inside, but he couldn't hear exactly what was said.
The meeting lasted ten minutes.
The event planner and several judges finally finalized all the competition procedures, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere became calmer.
Several more contestants arrived one after another, changed their clothes, came out, and stood next to Fu Yu.
Those who knew each other were chatting in low voices about the competition, but did not take the initiative to say hello to Fu Yu who was standing next to him.
Coming to the rehearsal today is a formal walk through the competition process. Everyone's focus is on the apprenticeship ceremony and cooking requirements.
As for the other opponents, they had already met each other in the last rehearsal and had nothing to communicate with.
After a while, the event planner came out accompanied by several judges.
Everyone at the door quickly made room, stood in a row, and greeted the judges enthusiastically.
The planner saw that all the contestants had arrived, so he smiled and asked: "Just in time, everyone is here. I wonder if you have decided in advance which judge you want to be your master? Now is a good opportunity for communication!"
As he said that, he naturally turned to Fu Yu who was standing next to him and asked: "Chef Fu, have you decided which judge you want to be your mentor?"
When Fu Yu's name was called, he didn't think much, nodded and replied, "I've thought about it."
With that said, Fu Yu looked at Liu Yunong and introduced himself politely: "Hello, Chef Liu. My name is Fu Yu. I come from the Maxima Hotel. I want to be your apprentice."
As soon as Fu Yu said these words, the surroundings fell silent for an instant.
Fu Yu's heart suddenly jumped.
What's wrong?
Why did the atmosphere suddenly become weird?
