Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Silly Pillar, with enlightenment that defies heaven

Babaokeng Hutong, No. 78 Siheyuan.

He Yuzhu played with Xiao Yuzhu in the yard for a while, and soon heard the master and his wife calling them to eat.

Just as he sat down at the table with Yu Yu, He Yuzhu twitched his nose and said with a smile: "Master, have you improved your craftsmanship again?"

"You boy, you are quite discerning." Li Baoguo couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

At Li Baoguo's level, ordinary practice will not make much progress in terms of cooking skills. More, it depends on personal perception.

"Zhuzhu is not a fool. Looking at you like that, isn't it just that you have made some progress? Let me tell you, when Zhuzhu reaches your age, he will definitely be better than Qian." Xiao Qiuzhen looked at Li Baoguo and couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, what you said is not wrong. From now on, it will be easy for Zhuzi to be a chef at state banquets." After hearing this, Li Baoguo didn't feel anything wrong. Instead, he felt quite satisfied.

Taking on a disciple like Zhu Zhu was the thing he was most proud of.

The four of them were sitting around the table. They were all members of the family, and they didn't have to be polite at all. They just started eating.

After Li Baoguo ate a piece of Mapo Tofu, he also looked at Zhu Zhu.

"Zhu Zhu, tomorrow is the assessment for the Senior Chef Certificate. With your level, I don't have anything to worry about, as long as you perform normally."

This assessment could have started a long time ago, but it was delayed until now because some people in the chef association were unwilling to deal with Li Baoguo. When the time comes for the assessment, Zhuzi will definitely be targeted in terms of content, but Li Baoguo is not panicked at all.

After all, even if you want to target the profession of chef, there is only so much you can do. At most, it would be on the dishes to be assessed, and the Zhuzi would be served difficult dishes. As long as the Zhuzi's craftsmanship was strong enough, the impact would be minimal.

Li Baoguo's previous assessment at the state banquet was caused by various factors. Even if he failed in the final assessment, it was because he really messed up the dish in public during the assessment. No matter how many reasons he had off the court, he ultimately decided to fail. The assessment still depends on Li Baoguo's own performance, which is why after the failure of the state banquet, Li Baoguo gave up on himself for a period of time.

Of course, putting these aside for the moment, Li Baoguo, as his master, naturally knows the best about Zhu Zhu’s craftsmanship.

Listening to the master's words, He Yuzhu nodded slightly: "Master, I will perform well."

This assessment is for my own promotion and for the reputation of my master.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

He Yuzhu went out early in the morning and hailed a rickshaw at the entrance of the alley, "Master, go to the chef meeting."

About half an hour later, the master stopped the car. After Zhuzhu paid the fare, he got out of the car and his eyes fell on the door of the chef club.

The last time I came back, it was for the intermediate assessment. In these few months, my level was not the same as before.

"Zilla, here we come."

Master Li Baoguo was wearing a black shirt and his hair was simply styled.

"Well, master, let's go in?" He Yuzhu nodded. He noticed that the chef club was quite lively today. I guess it was because of the senior chef assessment?

Before the two of them entered the chef's club, a hearty voice sounded.

"Brother Baoguo, you are here."

After the words fell, the figure of Zheng Shaobin, the vice president of the Chef Association, also appeared in front of the two of them.

Li Baoguo glanced at Zheng Shaobin, and then said with a strange look: "Where is that guy?"

This naturally refers to the president of the chef association.

Hearing this, Zheng Shaobin's face flashed with embarrassment, "Brother Baoguo, as you know, the president doesn't have a bad temper either."

Hearing this, Li Baoguo smiled happily.

"Of course I know what kind of person your president is. Isn't it just that I, Li Baoguo's apprentice, can come and successfully take the exam? Are you unhappy at home?"

Li Baoguo seemed to be in a good mood as he imagined that these enemies might be angry behind their backs.

"Okay Zhuzhu, let's go in."

……

Just walking into the chef club, He Yuzhu said he saw some familiar people.

These people all came to Hongbin Tower when I had my last master’s banquet.

"Isn't that Master Li?"

"That one next to him is his apprentice?"

"Master He from Hongbin Tower, you don't know yet, right?"

Li Baoguo was quite famous. As soon as he came in, many colleagues noticed him.

Those colleagues who had attended the apprenticeship banquet also saw He Yuzhu and immediately started talking with everyone. Only then did everyone realize that Master Li actually had such a powerful apprentice?

Li Baoguo and He Yuzhu also nodded in greeting when they met these colleagues.

Soon, we arrived at the chef's club.

Contestants who come to take the senior chef assessment will gather here.

Until Zheng Shaobin took the stage, there were a total of ten chefs taking the assessment for the senior chef certificate.

"Everyone, welcome to take part in the senior chef certificate assessment. I am the vice president of the chef association. This time, I and three special chefs will be the judges. We will give fair scores to all contestants!"

These ten chefs came on stage one after another. Most of them were around thirty years old. Some were led by masters, and some were inherited by families. In short, at the level of senior chefs, ordinary people would not be able to achieve this level if they worked alone without inheritance. of.

Of course, He Yuzhu's fifteen-year-old face is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among the contestants who participated in the assessment.

After the rules were announced, the assessment officially began.

Each player will be assigned five dishes. The shorter the time, the higher the degree of completion, and the higher the score.

As for the dishes, they will be selected according to the cuisine learned by the contestants participating in the assessment.

At the chef club, in addition to the three special chefs and the vice president Zheng Shaobin, there are also many colleagues who come to watch.

After all, senior chefs are considered to be at a good level in the industry. Everyone is in this industry, so come and join in the fun and take a look at the level of their peers.

The venue can accommodate two players to participate in the assessment at the same time.

He Yuzhu was assigned to the second group.

When He Yuzhu came on stage, he was paired with a short man in his early thirties. This guy had a thick neck, and he could tell at a glance that he was a chef who had been working in the kitchen all year round.

Coincidentally, both of them are from Sichuan cuisine, and the chef knows how to distribute the dishes quickly.

These dishes will be announced in front of everyone, and after seeing this group of dishes, many people frowned.

Everyone is familiar with Sichuan cuisine. After all, it is a mainstream cuisine that has proven to be effective. Naturally, everyone understands the difficulty of it.

Each of the five dishes He Yuzhu was assigned was quite difficult!

Isn’t Master Li’s apprentice very unlucky?

The short man's dishes in the same group were much more normal, with one high-difficulty dish, two medium-difficulty dishes, and two basic-difficulty dishes. Is this a normal distribution?

Li Baoguo was in the audience, looking at the dishes assigned by his apprentice, scanning the chef's group on the stage, and then snorted a few times.

He had long expected that there would be such a skill, but Zhu Zhu's craftsmanship was not something that these guys could target with this kind of idea.

On the stage, Zheng Shaobin frowned slightly when he saw the dishes assigned to Brother Baoguo's apprentice.

Player dishes are generally randomly assigned, but in order to ensure that the difficulty is not too high or too low, everyone will make adjustments as appropriate after the randomization.

The difficulty of Zhuzi's assessment was obviously too high, but he didn't receive any news of the adjustment at all. It was obvious that someone had tampered with it internally.

However, it was the senior chef assessment at this time, and as the vice president, it was hard for him to say anything else.

On the stage, He Yuzhu didn't know this. After seeing his dishes, he didn't have any ideas. He just silently reproduced the processes and techniques of these dishes in his mind.

With his level 5 cooking skills, dealing with this kind of scene is really not a challenge for him.

"The assessment begins."

Zheng Shaobin spoke.

He Yuzhu and the short man did not hesitate and started cooking directly.

Most of the peers who were joining in the fun focused their attention on He Yuzhu.

After all, Master Li's apprentice, coupled with the unlucky luck of being assigned such a difficult dish this time, is undoubtedly quite interesting.

However, as He Yuzhu began to handle the ingredients on the stage, everyone's eyes changed.

This guy has real stuff.

……

About an hour or so.

After He Yuzhu put the last dish on the plate, he extended his hand to signal.

At this time, almost all the eyes in the court were focused on He Yuzhu.

Originally, some people looked down upon He Yuzhu because of his young age, but within this hour, He Yuzhu's cooking skills impressed all his peers.

"Master He's performance is more stable than last time. The guy next to him hasn't done well yet."

Some people who had seen the pillar craftsmanship at the apprenticeship banquet couldn't help but sigh.

He Yuzhu finished the five difficult dishes faster than the short man next to him.

At the chef's club, the three special chefs' eyes flashed slightly after seeing He Yuzhu waving. However, Zheng Shaobin, after reacting from his daze, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes: "Everyone, let's go and try it. ?”

The four of them came off the stage and came to He Yuzhu's side. Looking at the five Sichuan dishes arranged, Zheng Shaobin's eyes lit up just by smelling them.

This craftsmanship is unmistakable, it is passed down from Brother Bao Guo.

The three special chefs behind had some reluctance on their faces, but they still picked up their chopsticks and tasted it.

After tasting the five Sichuan dishes one by one, Zheng Shaobin's face became more and more happy.

The colleagues on the side also all looked at the chefs at this time.

No matter what, the chef's assessment will ultimately fall on this taste.

"My rating is, pass!"

Zheng Shaobin didn't talk nonsense and gave his own answer directly.

The other three people, recalling the taste just now, couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were helpless, they could only nod.

"Passed the assessment!"
