In their eyes, although Mai Fan is a chef, his status is no different from that of temporary workers and security guards who come to help from outside.
They were able to pass this exam, but the next test was not the reason why this temporary worker could shake their foundation. So these three people just passed this door safely, and the rest went to receive the next wave of people who were about to pass their test. .
Maybe none of them are as amazing at their work as Mai Fan, but it doesn't matter. For them, no matter how rich their work experience is, they are still ordinary chefs. They are all of the same level and of an ordinary class.
They don't need to worry about the unnecessary person who is the palace chef, but Mai Fan walked through this narrow corridor and walked for about half a minute before his eyes suddenly opened up again, just like his first interview. Many unique winners who passed the exam like him also came out from other huts, and these only winners gathered in the examination room of this second level and became a gathering competition. people.
There are still 15 people in the examination room for the second level who were selected from the previous level. However, after arriving here, because their level has improved, the questions they will face next will be relatively difficult. .
From their point of view, although these temporary handymen have a clear division of labor, for people like them who are accustomed to big scenes, even if you are good at one aspect, you will not be able to do it in another aspect. There must never be any shortcomings in this aspect, because when there is a shortage of manpower, a chef must be multifaceted and cannot only do things in certain aspects. When other positions require support, or there are more strange tasks. When the arrangements are made, you must be able to meet the chef's requirements and complete your part of the workload. This is the main reason why they hire outsiders.
So when it comes to this exam, it’s not just about basics but comprehensiveness.
How to reflect the comprehensiveness of a chef? Chefs in this world are divided into several major departments.
In addition to the normal white cases, red cases, civilians or palace banquet chefs, they are divided into several different cuisines. Just like the major categories of Chinese food and Western food, there are also some more detailed classifications in this world. , based on different cooking methods and operating techniques, it can be divided into roughly three cuisines. As for the ingredients, the cooking methods and processing methods of these three cuisines are also slightly different.
But no matter which cuisine it is, in fact, their basis is the processing of ingredients and seasonings. In the palace banquet, there may be some very secret menus that will not be disclosed to them, but in terms of ingredients and preparation , but these people can classify the ingredients according to the chef's requirements. At this time, the direct examiner in the venue, the chef who is short of people, needs to make demands on them and ask these people There are three classification processes according to his method.
In front of them was a very ordinary table with very uniform ingredients, and this time, it was no longer a matter of processing grilled sausages or coarse vegetables.
In front of them were three identical little roosters that even weighed almost the same. After plucking their feathers, removing impurities, and processing their internal organs, heads and tails, each of them had three white and tender raw chickens. .
Next, they have to perform simple treatments on these three chickens according to the chef's requirements.
The chef will use his naked eyes to observe the way they handle and pickle them.
Once a person shows too obvious shortcomings in a certain aspect, or does not handle it quickly enough. They are immediately stopped and often and very unceremoniously invited out.
Mai Fan has nothing to worry about, because even if he has never cooked any dishes in this world, the chef has actually gone through a very detailed process for the requirements and processing of these three types of chicken, and the list is on it. On the shelf above his chopping board, as long as he treats the chicken very carefully in every step, it will pass the chef's test 100% of the time.
This time, there is a very obvious timer hanging above everyone's head, so that when the chef is sitting in his seat, he can also know how long the applicants below can complete his request?
The three processing methods ordered by the chef are also very interesting. The first one needs to be grilled, the second one needs to be cut into pieces, and the third one needs to be stuffed in a pot and used as a soup.
Each one does not say what seasonings will be added later, but it lays out the process of how to handle the previous chicken.
And the time given to them was only ten minutes.
Although they don't consider the flavor of the chicken, their every process and the situation of adding all kinds of honey sauce ingredients are unfamiliar to the chefs who operate the dishes themselves.
Then it depends on who is more careful, how well they handle these seasonings, and how to handle the muscles.
When you have higher quality, you can complete the chef's requirements faster.
When the first sound of the timer rang, the entire venue was very quiet, except for the sound of the squirming muscles, there was no other sound.
What is unexpected is that even with so many dishes on the menu, Mai Fan still maintains a terrifying hand speed. For others, it may be necessary to look at a certain process on the menu to form a picture in their mind. Process and skillfully find these materials and process them.
But Maifan can reduce the operation time in these processes.
He only needs to follow the arrows given on the tavern and slowly adjust his movements to use the fastest and easiest way. Dispose of these ingredients.
Calculating the time, each of the three chickens was given only three minutes, but Mai Fan shortened each step of the process by one minute.
When he pressed the finish button, a very harsh beep sounded in everyone's ears.
Just this sound made the chefs around him tremble a few times. The suddenness caused the chefs to either spill too much ingredients or interrupt their original thinking of the operation.
But this matter couldn't be blamed on Mai Fan, so they could only glare bitterly at the competitor who finished ahead of schedule, and spread all their resentment on the chicken under their hands.
As for the chef, he didn't show any special expression on his face.
