Chapter 69: Registration for the Assessment for Promotion to Second Kitchen (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
I heard Wang Jianye say that he wanted to take part in the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master in the afternoon.
Chai Wenshan thought he had misheard.
"What did you just say?"
"I said I wanted to take part in the assessment for promotion to the Second Kitchen this afternoon."
Wang Jianye repeated it again.
This time Chai Wenshan heard it clearly, and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak coherently, "You, you, you..."
Over the years in Fengze Garden, an apprentice, after taking the apprentice grading assessment, immediately took the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master and passed it successfully, successfully being promoted twice in one day. Only Zhou Qingde could do this back then.
Chai Wenshan originally thought that it would be amazing if his apprentice Wang Jianye could improve his level within a week and pass the apprentice grading assessment perfectly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jianye actually wanted to participate in the assessment for promotion to the Second Kitchen. Doesn't this mean that Wang Jianye already has the ability to pass the Second Kitchen assessment? Otherwise, why would Wang Jianye suddenly bring up this matter...
Chai Wenshan knew that in order to be promoted from a third-class chef to a second-class chef, the assessment requirement was to master fifty second-class chef-level dishes.
Wang Jianye has a lot of talent. Has it only been a week since he started to develop this talent, but he has already mastered so many second-level dishes?
Chai Wenshan is unimaginable.
Wang Jianye smiled and helped Chai Wenshan sit down: "Master, I just want to try it."
Chai Wenshan recovered from his shock, swallowed his saliva, and asked carefully: "Have you mastered everything?"
"That's about right. If everything goes well, I should be able to pass."
Wang Jianye nodded slightly.
In fact, he did not prepare all the fifty dishes required by the Second Stove Assessment at the Second Stove level or above.
But he had prepared nine recipes and enough experience points to upgrade all nine dishes to the level of a second-class chef.
This is enough for him to pass the assessment and be promoted to the second kitchen master.
As for other dishes, he can improve them in his future work. With his rate of improvement, there will be no situation where a customer orders a dish that he doesn't know how to cook.
Chai Wenshan took a few deep breaths before he gradually recovered.
"In that case, then you should go and participate."
It would be great if his apprentice Wang Jianye could really pass the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen master this time.
Zhou Qingde is the most outstanding talent in Fengze Garden since its establishment more than 20 years ago. Since Zhou Qingde set the record of being promoted twice in one day, no one has been able to break it.
If Wang Jianye could break it, it would be such a great honor for him as a master.
Wherever he goes, he holds his head high and walks with pride.
I'm afraid that Sun Qu will not be able to stay with him from now on, and Liu Shengbing, who didn't want Wang Jianye in the first place, must be regretting it to the core.
Chai Wenshan became excited when he thought of this.
……
Wang Jianye found Master Zhao.
Master Zhao thought Wang Jianye came to him to find out where Zhou Qingde was, so he said, "Master Zhou has gone to the bathroom, please wait for a while."
Wang Jianye shook his head, "Master Zhao, I'm not looking for Master Zhou, I'm here to see you."
"Ok?"
Master Zhao was puzzled. Why did Wang Jianye come to see him?
Until now, Master Zhao had not thought that Wang Jianye came to him to sign up for the grading assessment for promotion to the second kitchen master.
After all, Fengze Garden has been established for so many years, and Zhou Qingde was the only one who took the assessment for promotion to the second kitchen master immediately after completing the apprentice grading assessment. This was the only one and it happened only once.
So Master Zhao didn't think about it. "Master Zhao, I want to take part in the assessment for promotion to the second kitchen master this afternoon."
Wang Jianye spoke frankly about his thoughts.
"Wha, what?"
Master Zhao asked incredulously: "You want to take part in the afternoon assessment?"
Wang Jianye nodded seriously.
Seeing that Wang Jianye didn't seem to be joking, Master Zhao couldn't help but ask, "I remember that you only improved your level in the past week, right?"
"Yes, Master Zhao. I have improved my skills in the last week. Before that, my skills were very poor and I didn't even meet the standards for passing the apprentice grading assessment."
Wang Jianye speaks the truth.
Master Zhao couldn't help but say, "Although you got full marks in the apprentice grading assessment, the difficulty of the assessment for promotion to the second-class chef is much greater than the apprentice grading assessment. This requires you to cook all 50 dishes to the level of the second-class chef.
You have only raised your level in the past week, and you have finally raised the level of the dishes for the apprentice grading assessment to a very high level. Do you still have time to practice other dishes?"
Master Zhao thought that Wang Jianye had cooked the dish for the apprentice grading assessment so well and completed it within a week.
Then Wang Jianye must have forgotten to eat and sleep and practiced hard day and night.
It is already very difficult to improve the level of the ten dishes for the apprentice grading assessment. How could Wang Jianye have the time to improve other dishes?
"Master Zhao, you are right, but please let me try. Even if I fail, I can feel the difficulty of being promoted to the second stove master in advance, and I will have a better idea in the future."
Wang Jianye's serious attitude impressed the other party.
So Master Zhao wrote down Wang Jianye's name on the registration form.
Seeing this, Wang Jianye thanked him and went back to prepare.
……
When Master Zhao saw Zhou Qingde coming back, he immediately called him over.
"what happened?"
"Look, Wang Jianye just came to me to sign up."
Master Zhao pointed to Wang Jianye's name on the registration form.
"what?"
Zhou Qingde also didn't expect that Wang Jianye would actually sign up for the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen master.
"It only took him a week to prepare not only the apprentice grading assessment, but also the assessment for promotion to the second stove?"
Zhou Qingde couldn't believe it.
He had already thought highly of Wang Jianye, but it turned out that Wang Jianye was even more outrageous than he had imagined.
In just one week, Wang Jianye not only got full marks in the apprentice grading assessment, but also wanted to challenge the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master.
Is he really ready?
If he was really well prepared, doesn't that mean Wang Jianye had mastered the fifty second-kitchen-level dishes required to be promoted to second-kitchen chef in just one week?
This is so genius.
Zhou Qingde thought that in the profession of chef, there seemed to have never been such an outrageous genius.
When he was an apprentice, it took him one year to improve his skills from zero to the level of a cook, and then it took him two years to improve his skills from a cook to the level of a second-class cook.
This led to his stunning success in the grading assessment three years later.
However, Wang Jianye raised his level to the second level in just one week.
This is much better than me.
