Fu Yu heard Wang Yulong's words and said with a smile: "Yes, the leader of our store said that it is rare to have such a good opportunity. It just happened to let me go out to see the world and broaden my horizons."
Wang Yulong nodded: "Indeed, such an opportunity is still very rare. Without comparison, there will be no progress. When participating in competitions, every time you compete, you can discover your own shortcomings from your opponents. For the improvement of cooking skills, It’s all a good thing.”
Fu Yu particularly agrees with this.
Yes, after every competition, you can discover your own shortcomings from your opponents and judges, which is indeed a great benefit!
But if you want others to discover your own shortcomings, the first thing you need to do is that the other party is better at cooking and has a higher level than you.
This also means that the stronger the opponent you encounter, the more you can learn.
If you kneel down at the start, it's hard to say.
As soon as the thought came together, Fu Yu himself sighed three times in his heart.
I have the system by my side. Zhao Meng and Liu Yunong are training in separate classes for assault. How could they kneel down right from the start and break into the national competition circle anyway?
Moreover, in order to get the mission reward, we have to work hard to win the ranking. Otherwise, how can we help Liu Yunong win the prize?
While talking, Wang Yulong suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, someone from our main store participated in the competition last year. That guy had a good relationship with Zhang Peng. They talked a lot at that time. You can ask Zhang Peng about his experience. "
At the time of the competition last year, there was no branch store opened in Bei'an, and both Wang Yulong and Liu Zhangpeng worked in the main store.
At that time, the contestant sent by the store was good friends with Liu Zhangpeng. This guy was pretty neat. Not only did he make it out of the provincial competition, but he also entered the national competition. Although his final results were average, after all, his qualifications were there. It is already very good to achieve such an achievement.
Liu Zhangpeng was particularly concerned before and after the game.
They are all fans of those involved, and they are clear bystanders. Liu Zhangpeng has always been a careful person. He has a very clear understanding of the entire process of the game and some of the major and minor events that happened on the field at that time during the chat.
Now there is no one else around to ask for advice. Being able to get some relevant information from Liu Zhangpeng will give me some peace of mind.
When Liu Zhangpeng heard that Fu Yu was going to compete, he was also quite enthusiastic. Taking advantage of the break in cooking, he carefully introduced the entire competition to Fu Yu while working.
He was still very enthusiastic. Even though Fu Yu was young and had already begun to clearly show the tendency to overwhelm him, he still said without any reservation: "The competition in the provincial circle is divided into three games. Although the head office is not in this province, It is estimated that the specific event arrangements should be unified. The first and second games are auditions, and they don’t feel difficult.”
"Most of the contestants in these two games are from the city, county, or even town levels. Their cooking skills vary widely. If you meet them, there will definitely be no problem in advancing at your level."
"As for the third game, it is more difficult. They are all outstanding candidates selected from the province. The competition must be fierce. To stand out in such a competition, everyone must have unique skills, rich experience in spooning, and be on-the-spot. The performance is very stable, so it will be a little difficult to advance.”
Fu Yu nodded: "By the way, Chef Liu, during the competition, are all the ingredients prepared in advance when declaring the recipe, or are there any ingredients available on the spot, which ones to choose?"
Liu Zhangpeng suddenly laughed: "Of course I made a reservation in advance. The province has specially registered and purchased the ingredients. The food preparation is very comprehensive and there is a wide range of choices. However, during the national competition, specific topics will be selected, and the competition will be comprehensive score."
Fu Yu was stunned: "A specific topic? What do you mean?"
Liu Zhangpeng said: "At that time, the range of cooking dishes will be announced directly on site. The ingredients are fixed and you can use the cooking methods you are good at. Of course, the hardware measures such as seasonings and various kitchen utensils are very comprehensive. However, this will test the chef's ability to adapt to changes and the mastery of various cooking methods. For example, if the ingredients that appear are not what you are good at, and you choose inappropriate cooking methods, you will basically be out. After all, the taste of the dishes It’s number one!”
Fu Yu nodded, and the two communicated for a while before Liu Yunong walked in.
Seeing that Fu Yu had arrived, Liu Yunong smiled and greeted, "Come here, just in time to take a look at today's menu."
After finishing speaking, he walked directly towards his kitchen counter.
Fu Yu quickly turned around and followed.
Standing in front of the kitchen counter, Liu Yunong picked up the recipe delivered from the front hall, but did not rush to cook. Instead, he turned to look at Fu Yu and asked, "Fu Yu, may I ask you something?"
Fu Yu was stunned: "What's going on, tell me."
Liu Yunong was obviously hesitant: "You already understand the competition process this time, right? The provincial competition is conducted by groups. If I accompany you to participate, then if we are assigned to a group, then, What are you going to do?"
After hearing this, Fu Yu suddenly looked surprised!
Did Liu Yunong agree to participate in this year's National Chef Cooking Competition?
Fu Yu couldn't help but beam with joy when he thought that he had finally officially taken over the task. He was about to say, "I'm sure of that."
Before you say anything, stop it immediately!
My heart suddenly pounded, how should I answer this?
I can't say, then I will definitely help you advance to the national competition circle, because he also has to find a way to stand out from the provincial competition and strive to enter the national competition, so that he can have the opportunity to complete the task requirements.
But what if Liu Yunong and Liu Yunong are really assigned to a group?
He really hadn't thought about this problem before!
Liu Yunong stared at Fu Yu and asked seriously: "How are you sure?"
Fu Yu thought for a long time: "I might give up on my own initiative."
After all, the mission requirement is to help Liu Yunong win second place in the competition.
After Liu Yunong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Are you afraid of competing with me?"
Fu Yu sighed, afraid that he would not be able to complete the task. It was a pity that the reward was so generous.
Liu Yunong suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, don't say these nice things to make me happy. I actually have a suggestion. How about you listen to it!"
Fu Yu suddenly looked at Liu Yunong expectantly.
Liu Yunong smiled and continued: "When the time comes, if we really draw a group and start the game as opponents, then I will directly choose to give up."
Fu Yu was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Yunong warn: "Although this is your first time participating in the competition, you must not hold on to the idea of participating first and competing second. This is a very important time. Opportunities, the people you come into contact with in the provincial competition and the people you come into contact with in the national competition are completely different. Even if you just want to broaden your horizons and learn cooking experience, you can only work hard to compete in the national competition."
"This opportunity is rare and only comes once a year. It is very important to you, so this matter must be subject to my arrangements."
Fu Yu didn't expect that Liu Yunong would do this for him, and he was suddenly moved: "Master, you are so kind! I will not let you down."
Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't get the mission reward, Liu Yunong was right. Competitions like this only happen once a year, so he should take advantage of it.
And the most important point is that there are so many people participating across the province. He feels that since the system was established, his luck has been pretty good.
It shouldn't be that unlucky, just being assigned to the same group as Liu Yunong.
Liu Yunong smiled at Fu Yu and thought to herself: If two people are really assigned to the same group, with Fu Yu's current cooking level, he really has no confidence that he can crush Fu Yu in cooking individual dishes.
The two masters and apprentices competed fairly, but the master only narrowly won. That was too embarrassing!
Rather than doing this, it is better to abstain voluntarily.
By then, everyone will think that I, Liu Yunong, am a good master who is willing to support newcomers and willingly gives up for his apprentices to enter the national chef competition.
Moreover, the most important point is that with Fu Yu's level, it should not be a problem to advance to the national competition.
By then, everyone will know how good Fu Yu is.
And if the apprentices are so good, how powerful is it to be a master?
Thinking of this, Liu Yunong suddenly felt that this idea was brilliant!
But besides that, there is one more thing.
The smile on Liu Yunong's face disappeared and she solemnly warned: "Fu Yu, I have a wish that I have never had the chance to do. I hope you can help me fulfill it this time."
Fu Yu was in high spirits at this time. Hearing this, he said without hesitation: "Master, tell me!"
Liu Yunong's expression was solemn, her mouth was tight, and her eyes were full of unwillingness and humiliation. She stared at Fu Yu and said word by word: "I hope you can successfully enter the national competition and crush that old thief He Jie!"
Fu Yu was stunned: "Who is He Jie?"
Liu Yunong was obviously pleased by this question. His face softened slightly and he said: "Oh, a little person who is not worth mentioning."
"When I first returned to China, I was defeated by one of my subordinates when I participated in the National Chefs Cooking Competition for the first time. I just learned that he had signed up again this year."
"You have to remember that when you meet him, you must crush him and defeat him! Then you must tell him that your master is me!"
Fu Yu was stunned.
Why does this sound weird?
He Jie?
This name does sound familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before.
In an instant, Fu Yu couldn't help but write a whole story of love, hate and hatred in his mind.
Fu Yu nodded: "Master, has he ever bullied you?"
Liu Yunong suddenly said with a sullen face: "Huh? Is he worthy enough? His defeat is nothing to worry about!"
Shangshi Private Restaurant has been operating in Bei'an for half a year, and its reputation has gradually spread, and its customer base has become increasingly stable.
Business is booming every day.
As the chef, Wang Yulong is responsible for cooking several hard dishes every day. He also takes time to instruct his apprentice Liu Zhangpeng on the operating techniques.
The master and apprentice were cooking and exchanging cooking tips. They were so busy all night that they barely had any leisure time.
Seeing that this year's banquet was about to be sold out, everyone in the kitchen let out a sigh of relief.
After Wang Yulong explained Liu Zhangpeng's cooking operations for this year's special dishes, he handed over the hard dishes for the last two tables to him.
Liu Zhangpeng's cooking skills are quite good. When a dish is finished, Wang Yulong nods with satisfaction.
Wang Yulong smiled and praised: "Yes, you master this dish very well."
Liu Zhangpeng was very happy. In his excitement, he said casually: "I actually had the opportunity to learn this dish last year, and I only really mastered it now. After all, it is hard work that makes me almost talented. I just watched Chef Fu and learned it from Chef Liu." , you can get started directly.”
Wang Yulong was stunned for a moment: "Did Fu Yu also cook this dish today?"
This dish is an authentic Liu family cuisine and is a very popular stir-fry dish among customers.
It seems simple, but in fact it requires a high level of cooking skills from chefs and is not easy to learn and master.
Liu Zhangpeng nodded: "Well, I just watched this dish made by Chef Liu. He was responsible for cooking the previous three tables."
Wang Yulong suddenly became curious, and while Liu Zhangpeng took over the cooking, he took a break and walked towards Liu Yunong's kitchen counter.
When they got closer, they saw that Fu Yu was cooking this dish, and Liu Yunong was standing beside him, looking like he was not giving instructions but observing.
When Fu Yu was cooking, Liu Yunong was standing by to help. With one look, he understood directly and had a tacit understanding.
Fu Yu himself also discovered that he especially liked having this master as a cook beside him. He had quick reactions and strong understanding. The key was that he was very reliable. He could fully understand it with just one look, without saying a word at all.
Many times, without even waiting for him to look at her, the kitchen utensils and ingredients needed for the next step have been prepared in advance for him to take at any time.
This should have something to do with favorability.
Fu Yu had long discovered that Liu Yunong's favorability towards him had obviously increased since the New Year.
After a busy night, this is the last dish to be cooked. After finishing it, you should be able to obtain advanced spoon-bumping skills!
Fu Yu accumulated a lot of experience in cooking nine dishes that the system was satisfied with.
He vaguely felt that his current accumulation had reached a peak and he could break through at any time.
In Fu Yu's eyes, cooking these ten dishes is no longer a simple task.
Rather, it is an exercise opportunity for you to achieve mastery, continuous experience and accumulation through cooking operations!
Next, when Fu Yu was cooking the whole dish, he was cooking it heartily.
even!
For the first time, he felt a feeling that could be called control!
When the last swing of the spoon was completed, Fu Yu subconsciously held his breath.
Sure enough, the next second, an electronic prompt sounded in my ears:
【Ding! You have completed the cooking of 10 dishes using the spoon operation, and received the task reward: Spoon Skill (Advanced)]
