Chapter 66 Someone scored better than Cao Xiaodong
Zhou Qingde gave some more encouraging words.

Then he talked about the assessment for promotion to the second and first chefs in the afternoon: "The assessment for promotion to the second chef will start at 2:30 in the afternoon, and the assessment for promotion to the first chef will be held after the assessment. If you want to participate, please sign up with Master Zhao later."

The assessment requirement for promotion to second-class chef is to cook all fifty dishes to the second-class chef level, which is quite difficult. Only a few people are ready to take part in this year's grading assessment.

The assessment for promotion to head chef is even more difficult. There are so many second chefs, but not one is ready to take part, as they all feel they are not qualified enough.

After Zhou Qingde finished speaking, he called Chai Wenshan over and said, "You have a good apprentice. He has only been an apprentice for three years, but he can cook such good dishes. Can you tell me how you taught him?"

"Master Zhou, Wang Jianye's success today is mainly due to his hard work and diligence. I, as his master, am only a guide. His cultivation is entirely up to him."

Chai Wenshan was quite ashamed.

When Wang Jianye first became his apprentice, he thought that Wang Jianye's talent was average and that he would not achieve much in the chef industry in the future. He might not even be able to pass the grading assessment and stay in Fengze Garden.

Therefore, Chai Wenshan never took the initiative to teach him, but sometimes when Wang Jianye came to ask him for advice, he would still answer his questions seriously and demonstrate personally.

In the past week leading up to the grading test, Wang Jianye's talent has become very strong and his cooking skills have improved rapidly.

Chai Wenshan then realized that maybe it was not that Wang Jianye had poor talent at the beginning, but that he, as his teacher, did not use the right teaching method.

If the right teaching method had been used early on, Wang Jianye would definitely be better than he is now.

Chai Wenshan told Zhou Qingde about his guilt.

Zhou Qingde consoled him, "Master Chai, haven't you found a teaching method for Wang Jianye? In the future, follow this method to develop Wang Jianye's talent and improve his level. If Wang Jianye can become the second chef of our Fengze Garden next year, it will be your contribution."

Chai Wenshan said happily: "Don't worry, Master Zhou, I will definitely teach Wang Jianye well and try to add another second kitchen chef to our Fengze Garden next year."

Zhou Qingde smiled and asked, "By the way, there is one more thing. When do you plan to hold Wang Jianye's graduation party?"

According to the old rules, when an apprentice completes his three-year apprenticeship, he must hold a farewell banquet, which is mainly organized by the apprentice's master. It is the master who decides which guests to invite, where to hold the banquet, and the scale of the banquet.

After you hold the graduation banquet, people in the industry will acknowledge you as a master and you can be considered a formal chef.

The apprenticeship banquet and the apprenticeship banquet are different. The apprenticeship banquet must be held, while whether the apprenticeship banquet is held depends on the master's idea and the apprentice's family conditions. If the apprentice's family conditions are not good, the master may not hold the apprenticeship banquet.

"Master Zhou, I haven't made up my mind about holding a graduation party for Wang Jianye yet."

"Well, then go back and think about it carefully. Wang Jianye has good talent and a good personality. We should hold a grand graduation party for him to spread his reputation. In this way, Wang Jianye will gradually become the signature of our Fengze Garden, which will be of great benefit to him."

Zhou Qingde’s instructions.

Chai Wenshan nodded seriously, determined to get the job done.

"Also, I want to go to the graduation party for Wang Jianye. Don't forget to reserve a seat for me."

"Oh, that's great. Master Zhou, it's an honor for both of us to have you here to support us."

Chai Wenshan was very surprised when he heard that Zhou Qingde would also attend Wang Jianye's farewell banquet.

Because this means that Zhou Qingde, as the kitchen manager of Fengze Garden, will pay more attention to Wang Jianye in the future.

"Master Zhou, Manager Zheng wants you to go to the office."

At this time, someone found Zhou Qingde and said something.

Zhou Qingde followed him to the office of Fengze Garden. The person who came to see him was the manager of the kitchen, named Zheng Hao.

"Come on, sit down, sit down."

Zheng Hao was quite polite when he met Zhou Qingde.

Although Zheng Hao is Zhou Qingde's leader, because Zhou Qingde is talented and has a good level, Zheng Hao has always been very polite to him.

"Has the grading assessment for the kitchen apprentices been completed?"

Zheng Hao asked with concern.

Zhou Qingde nodded, "The exam has been completed. A total of six people took the exam, and three of them passed."

"Not bad, half of the apprentices passed the exam."

Zheng Hao was quite satisfied with this result.

After all, Fengze Garden has high requirements. It is already very good if half of the apprentices who participated in this apprentice grading assessment can stay.

"How are the grades of Cao Xiaodong?"

Zheng Hao called Zhou Qingde over just to inquire about this matter.

Cao Xiaodong has been the most outstanding apprentice in the kitchen for the past three years. Even the boss of Fengzeyuan knows him and thinks he is a promising talent. So he asked Zheng Hao to keep an eye on Cao Xiaodong and report any new developments to the boss in a timely manner.

This shows how much the boss of Fengzeyuan values ​​talents.

"Cao Xiaodong did quite well in the test this time. He scored a total of 25 points."

"You did well. I remember the highest score in the apprentice grading examination held two years ago was 22 points. I didn't expect that an apprentice would get 25 points this year."

Zheng Hao was in a good mood.

This time Cao Xiaodong did very well in the exam and lived up to his boss's expectations.

He will have to report to his boss later. Since Cao Xiaodong got such a high score, it will be easy for him to talk.

This morning, he was worried that Cao Xiaodong would make mistakes during the exam, resulting in a low score.

If Cao Xiaodong's score is not high, he knows that after reporting it to his boss, his boss will definitely be disappointed, and he, as the person reporting, will not get anything good.

But now Zheng Hao doesn’t have to worry about this, because Cao Xiaodong got a high score of 25 points.

When he reports this to his boss later, the boss will definitely be very happy, and he, the person who reports the good news, will also be much more pleasing to the boss.

Zheng Hao said with emotion: "After you, our kitchen has been in operation for many years, and finally a talented apprentice has emerged.
He only studied for three years, but he was able to get 25 points in the apprentice grading test, which shows how talented he is.
Even if many chefs who have already started cooking are asked to cook the same dish, they may not be able to get 25 points.

Not bad, really good, you must pay more attention to him in the future and focus on training him."

"I see."

Zhou Qingde nodded seriously, and then continued: "In this apprentice grading assessment, there is actually another person who performed better than Cao Xiaodong. He got a full score of 30 points."
