Chapter 007: Hold Yourself to the Standards of National Model Workers
A group of interns stared at Wang Gebi: "Damn it, did you take the back door? You just started your internship and you're already in the chopping area, being so picky!"
Liu Changqing nodded slightly and glanced at Wang Gebi
Su Momo glanced at Zhou Dong and said softly: "Teacher Liu, let me think about it some more..."
Of course, do you think being an intern chef is just a title? The various meats and vegetables that need to be cleaned every day at Jiuzhou Ding Shi are not few in number
The eight major cuisines also experience fluctuations in their prominence. For instance, while Su cuisine, Hui cuisine, and Zhejiang cuisine have developed reasonably well, they are still constrained by regional limitations. Although Shandong cuisine, with its deep-rooted foundation, can be found across the country, it is not among the most fervently sought-after cuisines.
I choose Sichuan cuisine
What, afraid of hardship? If you are afraid of hardship, then do not enter the diligent practice. The kitchen trains people more than a military boot camp, and this is no joke
Liu Changqing was taken aback, thinking he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Dear classmates, do you feel ashamed in front of Zhou? Are you moved? Come, come, let us give a round of applause for Zhou...
Apart from Zhou Dong, this oblivious student from Qingxiang, those who dare to come to the Jiuzhou Ding Shi Du Jin are all renowned culinary schools from Su Province. People do not blindly choose Sichuan cuisine; rather, they make relatively wise choices based on their own preferences and the culinary focus of their respective schools.
Liu Changqing nodded slightly: "What about the choices of the other students?"
Zhou Dong felt a surge of irritation and impatiently glanced at Liu Changqing: "I want to go to the busiest water platform!"
The Zhou family's meat restaurant has too few vegetables and meat to wash, and my mother always loves to compete with him for the work. Now that there is the large kitchen of Jiuzhou Ding Shi, he no longer has to worry about not having vegetables to wash
No way, I need to ask He Bi later. This kid can't really be sick, can he? He doesn't look like a normal person at all
Shandong Cuisine
Then it is settled! You should first go to the Su cuisine kitchen, after all, this is the capital of Chu, and Su cuisine can be considered local cuisine, ensuring a sufficient number of diners.
Sichuan cuisine is the most extensive and widely appreciated among the eight major culinary traditions, balancing flavors from both the north and south. Even if one only interns in the cutting area of Sichuan cuisine, it will greatly benefit their future development. Wang Gebi's choice is indeed very correct
Student Zhou, if you are considering slacking off, I advise you to forgo the internship and return home now; diligence is not suitable for you
Learning to wash vegetables is an essential requirement for becoming an excellent chef. Therefore, please let me go to the busiest washing station
The interns all applauded, "Clap clap," this Zhou is really a fool... ? ... Is there anyone who boasts like you? Well, now you've been put on the hot seat by Old Liu, haven't you! ? It would be strange if this doesn't wear you out!
Wang Gebi and Su Momo were relatively calm; having a wild background at home has its advantages, as they would not suffer losses no matter where they go
Cantonese cuisine
However, this is not absolute. Our city, Chudu, is now also a famous tourist destination, and some high-end tour groups will come here to dine. It also depends on where the guests are from
A group of interns gradually becomes accustomed to the environment, which is akin to being in a stinky seafood market for too long without noticing the smell. Then, one by one, they stare wide-eyed at Liu Changqing. According to the mentor, it seems they are to be thrown into the water platform for their internship
In fact, it was not entirely unanticipated, but who would dare to ask further? Only that fool Zhou Dong is oblivious to the danger!
A person who is handsome, has a cool personality, is ambitious, and works diligently must also be very kind
Wang Gebi smiled faintly and said without hesitation: "Teacher Su, I choose Sichuan cuisine"
The most outstanding are Cantonese cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. The former is diverse and has the best health benefits, claiming that everything in the world can be used in cooking. However, due to the use of certain ingredients that are too fresh, its influence diminishes once it leaves the southern provinces.
Zhou Dong furrowed his brows upon hearing this, finding it difficult to make a decision at that moment
Well, everyone has made their choice. What about you, Classmate Zhou? Which cuisine are you thinking of?
You think too highly of yourself, trying to gather information from me to choose an easy cuisine? I will leave you in a haze of confusion
Of course, in order to meet your request, I will notify the water stations of various cuisines. If you find yourself free in the Su cuisine area, I will immediately assign you to the busiest location.
Liu Changqing looked at the two individuals and sighed inwardly, feeling compelled to speak against his better judgment: "I have reviewed the transcripts of Wang Gebi and Su Momo, both of whom are the most outstanding students. They can skip the water platform and directly enter the chopping area to work. You two can now choose your cuisine..."
This is difficult to say; generally speaking, Sichuan cuisine and Su cuisine are the busiest. The former is currently a popular cuisine, while the latter has the advantage of geographical location.
Su Momo gazed at Zhou Dong, her beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance
... ...
Liu Changqing secretly sneered, Qingxiang is indeed Qingxiang, even before the internship has started, they are already thinking about picking and choosing. Why bother to join this miserly teacher's class, the students are not up to par
Soo cuisine
Once you enter the water platform, do you have to handle a lot of ingredients
Well, then you should think it over again
While others are concerned about dirt and fatigue, he is worried that the interns are not qualified to handle more ingredients. This is something that must be clarified; Liu Changqing is clearly an experienced individual, and one must always be cautious of others.
This is truly unfortunate, as it involves the dirtiest and most laborious water stations. What difference is there between the water stations of Sichuan cuisine and those of Shandong cuisine? They are all paths of no return
Liu Changqing scrutinized Zhou Dong from head to toe, thinking to himself, "You young man are quite capable, trying to challenge me, huh? Very well, I shall oblige your request, and I will exhaust you to the point of collapse"
Upon hearing Liu Changqing's words, the interns collectively sighed in lament. Isn't this even more exhausting than boot camp? Boot camp lasts only one month, yet they are required to intern for a whole year! No wonder the kitchen staff refers to them as intern kitchen dogs.
Liu Changqing is quite satisfied; it seems that this batch of intern chefs is not too bad and has not disappointed him too much
Seeing that this young man did not seem to be faking it, Liu Changqing was indeed somewhat puzzled
It would be best if I were not limited to the kitchen of a specific cuisine; I will go wherever it is busier
Zhou Dong is looking forward to it, as the master-level vegetable washing will greatly benefit his condition, and it seems that the more he washes, the more pronounced the effect on treating his depression will be
Liu Changqing was a bit bewildered, while the interns stared at Zhou Dong with wide eyes, thinking that this guy must be sick, perhaps suffering from Masochism Syndrome
Thank you, Teacher Liu
This is not an ordinary intern chef dog, is it? This is Hachiko, the loyal dog! Wherever it is busier, you go there. Are you a revolutionary cog in the machine? This is to hold oneself to the strict standards of a national model worker, isn't it?
This young man is quite clever
Zhou Dong was very satisfied, and in order to express his gratitude, he even walked over to Liu Changqing for a warm handshake
The only person he cannot see through now is Zhou Dong. With no connections and no educational background, why on earth would he dare to let him intern at Jiuzhou Ding Shi? Has he been kicked in the head by a donkey?
Well, no thanks needed...
Zhou Dong nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Teacher Liu, which cuisine has the most water-based dishes?"
Under the filter of the handsome guy effect, she finds Zhou Dong pleasing to the eye no matter how she looks at him
Ah, look at this kid, so cool and composed, turns out he is not foolish? Is he trying to sidestep the main issue? The interns suddenly felt a deep respect; just look at how sharp his mind is, why didn't I think to ask one more question just now?
Liu Changqing, this old diligent person, is not afraid of students being slow-witted; what he dislikes the most are lazy individuals. Such people are like rotten meat in diligence, and if not removed, they will eventually spoil the whole pot of soup
