Moreover, the National Cooking Competition is not like the small competition held by the previous Sanjiang Tourism Festival, which only tests the cooking skills of chefs.
The content of the competition is very clear. It also tests the participants' kitchen management and catering skills. I do not have an advantage in this aspect.
After all, my time working in the kitchen is limited, and I have just started to get involved in management. There is still a long way to go!
Liu Yunong said directly: "This is easy to talk about. I heard from Chef Zhao that you have joined the Provincial Food Association now? There is no problem with this requirement."
"Besides, Chollima Hotel is too small and does not meet the competition standards. You can register as your employer at Shangshi Private Restaurant. Anyway, you have both sides. If Chollima doesn't work, just go this way."
Fu Yu felt relieved and couldn't help but ask: "Master, wouldn't I have taken up your store's competition quota?"
Liu Yunong looked at Fu Yu and smiled slightly: "Our store never participates in these cooking-related competitions."
Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing.
Shangshi Private Restaurant has always cooked Liu family cuisine, which is famous for its family secrets.
Cooking operations have always been passed on internally and not externally.
Shangshi Private Kitchen has never participated in such live cooking activities in public.
Moreover, with the reputation and influence of our own store, there is no need to participate in this type of competition to promote it.
Liu Yunong continued: "Xiaofu, if you sign up for the competition in the name of our store, you will represent Shangshi Private Kitchen Restaurant in such a competition this time. Since this competition is a national event, there are many people paying attention to it. , so for our circle, the gold content of this honor is still very high."
"Although we have never participated in this type of event before, now that we are ready to participate, let's not only do our best, but at least we can't be left behind!"
Fu Yu was grateful and looked at Liu Yunong: "Yes! Master, I want to participate! But... I'm afraid my current level and skills are not enough."
He meant what he said and was not trying to be modest.
Even though he has the system by his side and has mastered several basic cooking skills, Fu Yu knows very well that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world.
Liu Yunong was very satisfied with Fu Yu's humble attitude and said with a smile: "Look at the date. It won't be held until spring. I'm just going to inform you in advance and focus on training you in the future."
"After you go back, if you have nothing to do, watch the videos of the previous chef competitions. There are some serious chefs who have very eye-catching cooking demonstrations. They are worth watching and pondering carefully."
After discussing with Liu Yunong, Fu Yu returned to the kitchen.
To be honest, he had little expectations!
In addition to the national cooking competition being a good opportunity for training and learning, being able to receive a series of tasks is also a rare surprise.
Originally, Fu Yu was a little unsure. After all, there were so many contestants across the country and there were countless types of dishes, so he felt a little guilty.
But through Liu Yunong, Fu Cong learned that there are actually some differences between this kind of national competition and small-scale competitions.
Because the national cooking competition does not have a tasting session with judges, the main thing is to look at the overall cooking effect and the process of arranging the meal.
Fu Yu made up his mind to cooperate with all the training exercises arranged by Liu Yunong during this period. In addition to taking time to continue studying the classic recipes, he also had to pay attention to all the steps of taking orders and serving dishes in the kitchen.
Back in the kitchen, Liu Yunong was going to cook peony fish fillets again, so he asked the waiter to prepare the dishes quickly.
Taking advantage of this time, Fu Yu couldn't help but secretly check his new rewards.
Select View.
[Finger dexterity: Dexterous hands are one of the hallmarks of a good chef. Current flexibility increase: 10%. 】
Fu Yu subconsciously moved the fingers of his hands, and suddenly felt that his fingers were obviously much more flexible than before.
Moreover, when making various gestures, the movements are also very fast and coherent.
I can move quickly without feeling tired, and it is obviously much easier to perform various movements that I found difficult before.
This reward is good. His hand speed was already very fast. Now that it has been improved, it is even more convenient and flexible.
[Universal Chopsticks: High-quality high-end chopsticks, perfect and versatile, without any shortcomings, can pick up anything, will never slip, and will not damage the surface of food! 】
Unexpectedly, in addition to improving the flexibility of my fingers, I also got an additional set of cooking equipment!
Chopsticks are the most frequently used kitchen utensils in cooking.
Moreover, in some operations such as stewing to determine whether the food is crispy or not, and turning the food over when frying, the use of chopsticks is an irreplaceable instrument.
Chopsticks are very convenient and easy to use, but because the gripping strength is wrong or the surface of the food is too smooth, the gripping is often not firm, causing the food to fall off or change its direction, thereby damaging the food.
Fu Yu was quite happy to be rewarded with this piece of kitchenware.
Even chopsticks have appeared. What about range hoods, ovens, gas stoves, pots and pans? Are they still far away?
Because the function of the oil-free colander is a bit unbelievable, and the requirements for the cooking environment are relatively high, and the appearance of this absolutely non-slippery chopstick is perfect for Yu.
In addition, Fu Yu was surprised to find that he had been promoted to level 10.
As long as you upgrade one level, the attribute level can be upgraded to an intermediate chef.
Although becoming an intermediate chef is only a change in title and does not bring any substantial rewards, upgrading the title is also an affirmation of one's cooking skills.
Fu Yu is still very concerned about this.
Liu Yunong's talent in cooking is actually amazing.
Even if Fu Yu has the system by his side, he is very aware of and amazed by this.
Obviously I just watched the detailed on-site cooking operation, but did not actually practice it.
However, Liu Yunong can almost perfectly reproduce all the details and key operations of cooking this dish.
If it weren't for his inferior hand speed and time control, even Fu Yu felt that Liu Yunong's cooking skills could reach his own level.
You know, my hand speed and time control have been strengthened by the system.
As for Liu Yunong, an ordinary person, it is already amazing to be able to reach the current level.
Fu Yu had long discovered that Liu Yunong was extremely good at splitting a category, a skill that tested his finger dexterity and hand speed.
Now I find that she also controls the heat very accurately.
Of course, it can't be compared with someone like me who has plug-ins.
But among ordinary chefs, he can be considered a leader.
To have such superb cooking skills, no matter how talented you are, requires hard work and hard work.
Thinking of this, Fu Yu admired and appreciated Liu Yunong even more.
This is a very hardworking and capable chef.
Totally worthy of the title of celebrity chef.
Liu Yunong spent nearly four hours cooking this peony fish fillet.
In the end, the plating was not done at all, and we ran out of time.
The fried fish was eaten by several people in the kitchen. The taste was okay, but because the frying time was too long, except for the few pieces of fish that came out of the pan at the end, the rest of the fish was obviously not crispy enough.
Liu Yunong tasted a piece by herself, and said quite contentedly: "It's still far from what you made! But it's much better than the one I made before. If I make it a few more times, it should be no problem."
After all, two people can work together at the same time when frying in the kitchen, which can save a lot of time.
As for this dish, I am not in a hurry to put it on the shelves. I will wait and think about it for a while to see if I can streamline the cooking process and see if I can make some adjustments to the taste.
Especially in terms of sauces, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Since you want to include this dish in the recipe, you must make it unique to your own store.
Liu Yunong is very experienced in this. This matter is not a rush job and must be done slowly.
The next day, Zhao Meng had the evening shift.
Fu Yu stayed up late last night and looked for some cooking videos related to the National Chef Competition two days ago. He originally just wanted to get a general understanding of the content and process of the competition, but unexpectedly he found a very good middle-aged chef.
The other party is very good at both cooking and overall management of the kitchen. Watching him cook while coordinating and managing all the serving matters is a particularly comfortable and enjoyable thing.
Fu Yu originally didn't want to stay up late, but he got interested. After watching the finals, he couldn't help but find the video from the regional competition.
I continued watching and replaying it, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
My sleeping posture was not correct. When I woke up in the morning, my neck was slightly stiff.
Gu Yunwu's people were responsible for preparing breakfast. Fu Yu followed everyone after finishing the meal and was about to go to the storage room to check the pickling of the side dishes when he suddenly received a call from an unknown person.
After checking the phone number carefully and making sure that he didn't recognize it, Fu Yu hesitated before picking up.
Unlike other colleagues, I often receive various calls from relatives and friends.
In addition to sending messages to Liu Yuqing, Fu Yu usually talks on the phone with his parents every night when he takes a taxi back to the store.
Others, like my classmates at the chef school, usually chat in the group, and they live in all over the world, with almost no phone contact.
"Hello, is this Mr. Fu?" The other party was a woman. Her voice sounded gentle and her words were clear. She made a very good first impression.
Fu Yu responded: "Well, hello."
Fu Yu said nothing and waited for the other party to explain his purpose.
Meng Dan said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Fu, I am Meng Dan, the manager of the Fengqiao Riverside Sales Office."
"That's it. Manager Wang asked me to check the information with you. We need to report the information of the residents who signed the contract with the machine. This is also to facilitate the residents to exchange for their property certificates after the year."
When Fu Yu heard this, he just remembered this.
I bought a newly built house, and after paying, I received a printed contract from the sales office. I had to wait until the community was officially handed over before I could go to Building 8 to exchange for the real estate certificate.
"Oh! Hello, Director Meng."
Meng Dan smiled: "Mr. Fu, whenever you have time, it would be best to come over to our sales department. Some procedures require your signature."
When Fu Yu bought a house, Manager Wang personally entertained him, so some unnecessary procedures were avoided if possible.
As a result, I didn’t expect that the superiors would suddenly have to strictly investigate and rectify the situation, so all the necessary procedures had to be completed.
Fu Yu looked at the time. Xiaonian had just passed, and the business in the store was not very busy. He just took a quick bite in the afternoon and took the time to go there. There should be no problem.
"I'll go there in the afternoon. What time will someone be there over there?" Fu Yu asked directly.
Meng Dan hurriedly replied: "We go to work at 1:30 in the afternoon, and there will be someone there at any time."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yu turned to Zhao Meng to ask for leave.
Hearing that it was about dealing with a new house, Zhao Meng took it seriously. He asked about the specific matters carefully, gave a few words of advice, and then readily approved the leave.
After lunch time, there are basically no customers coming to eat in the afternoon.
And Fu Yu goes to Shangshi Private Restaurant every night to help cook.
Thinking about Liu Yunong's previous promise to help Fu Yu register for the National Chef Cooking Competition, and also promised to provide Fu Yu with special training.
Zhao Meng simply gave Fu Yu an afternoon off.
"After completing the formalities, just go over there. Anyway, I'm not busy now."
Fu Yu thought that it would be troublesome to go through the formalities, and if he had to rush back after finishing the work, it would be almost time to get off work, so he smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Chef Zhao!"
Zhao Meng smiled and joked: "I'm thinking of treating you when we move in! I'll warm your house too."
Fu Yu looked happy: "That's necessary!"
However, he didn't plan to tell Liu Yuqing about the house yet.
On the one hand, the two of them had just established their relationship, so it was a bit too early to mention the house.
On the other hand, I also wanted to give Liu Yuqing a surprise.
As for the mortgage, Fu Yu still has nearly 200,000 yuan on hand, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, he should be able to get commissions for the few medicinal meals he made reservations for, right?
In the afternoon, Fu Yu didn't even bother to eat and took a taxi directly to the sales office.
When entering the door, as soon as I reported my name, the staff enthusiastically took me to Meng Dan's office.
Fu Yu originally thought it would be very troublesome, but he didn't expect everything to be simple.
Meng Dan had prepared all the information required for registration and signature early. All Fu Yu had to do was answer questions and sign.
It took less than ten minutes in total for Fu Yu to get everything done.
but
Meng Dan then handed Fu Yu a list of gifts.
Fu Yu took it and took a look, and was stunned.
Are these all going to be given to him?
Special subsidized housing gifts, group purchase housing subsidies, collective housing subsidies... there are also commercial promotions, gift pack shopping coupons...
So many things are equivalent to picking up money, right?
When I bought a house before, I didn’t seem to have mentioned these things, right?
