Chapter 304 Chapter 53 The Exam Begins

On the third day after arriving in Wakkanai, Zheng Ke had just finished washing when he heard the announcement from the horn.

"Everyone, please gather in the lobby within 10 minutes, and now the detailed rules for the fifth exam will be announced."

Zheng Ke and Isekui hurriedly left the bedroom, and when they saw Kuaga Teruki and Eizan Edazu also hurried over.Looking further back, there was no shortage of familiar people in the crowd.

This wave of people rushed to the hall in an orderly manner, but Zheng Ke found that the dining table in the hall was already full of people, and there were white suitcases on the dining table.More importantly, just looking at the number of people, there are almost 100 people.

They should be the people who stayed here two days ago, right?Moreover, judging by their appearance, the youngest ones are in their 30s, and the older ones are even in their 70s and [-]s.

These should be chefs who have worked for a long time, so Zheng Ke couldn't figure out why they appeared here.

The first-year students stood in the open space of the hall, looking around in a little bewilderment.In the hall, there was a slight discussion.

"Ahem..." There was a slight cough, and Dojima Gin walked to the front desk with a microphone, "Everyone, good morning. I am very happy that you are taking the fifth promotion exam. Being able to get to this point shows that you are superior to others. The strength. When I left Totsuki Academy, there were about 190 people, but now... the latest list I got, there are only 120 seven people. Of course, this is not the end, I hope to see it on Rebun Island Everyone. So, please take this exam seriously."

"As the fifth exam, we have prepared carefully for a long time and specially invited 120 chefs from 120 stores across the country. In the next four days, you will learn from one of them. Cooking skills. At 10 a.m. on the fifth day, your teacher will give you a question to make a dish, which will be judged by your teacher. If approved by the instructor, you will be qualified to go to Rebun Island. And loser, I’m sorry, all I can say is that you were eliminated.”

It is too surprising that the evaluation is not conducted by the teachers of the academy.

After hearing Dojima Gin's words, many students were thinking about the chances of passing the exam.In the end, I found that the difficulty of this exam is really not small.

For a chef, if a certain skill can be used to teach the students of Yuanyue Academy, it means that this skill itself is his trump card and the craft they rely on for survival.

If you want to learn these skills in just four days and be recognized by the chefs, this is not something you can just talk about.

At the same time, this exam also confirmed Zheng Ke's previous conjecture that no preparation could prevent the promotion exam questions.

"Then, before you come here, these chefs have already decided the students they need to bring through a lottery. Next, I invite all the chefs to find their own students according to the lottery results."

As soon as Dojima Gin finished speaking, an old man stood up first, took the note in his hand, and read, "Zheng Ke."

"Me?" Zheng Ke didn't expect that the first person would be himself, he walked out of the crowd in surprise, and then looked at the old man in front of him.

This is an old man in his 60s, not tall, only about 1.6 meters, with sunken eye sockets, thin body, wearing a Japanese chef's hat, with a solemn face.Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man opened his eyes and glanced at Zheng Ke. Although his eyes were not big, he could tell that he was in good spirits.

"Hello, grandpa." Zheng Ke bowed deeply.

The old man nodded, "Come with me." After speaking, he turned and left first.

Zheng Ke was also at a loss. The other students were still waiting for the results. Would it be bad for him to leave rashly by himself?But if you don't keep up, this old man...hey, this old man runs really fast, and he will run far away if you don't pay attention.

Oh, forget it, if the influence is not good, the influence is not good, right?Who made this old man his teacher for the next four days?
Thinking of this, Zheng Ke followed the old man closely and walked into a kitchen under the surprised eyes of others.

Due to the exam, the hotel also made a lot of preparations in advance, such as utilizing many idle rooms.Some rooms are relatively large and can accommodate more than a dozen operating desks, while others are relatively small and can only accommodate one or two operating desks.

The room where the old man led Zheng Ke in was a small room.

When he opened the room, a strong fishy smell came over his face, and Zheng Ke almost passed out.When he saw the fish bones and fish heads piled up in the trash can, he suddenly understood that the smell came from here.

"Do you have a kitchen knife?" asked the old man.

"Yes! Yes!" Zheng Ke quickly put his knife on the table.

He still won this set of knives from Tanimoto Shiho.Good quality but typically western knives including chef's knives, boning knives, paring knives, slicers, serrated knives and sharpening sticks.

The old man glanced at Zheng Ke's knife and said, "Your knife is not good."

"Huh? Grandpa, if this set of knives is on the market, it will be very expensive." Zheng Ke said in surprise.

"It's useless because of my cooking, these knives are rarely used." The old man said indifferently.

Rarely available?
Zheng Ke frowned and glanced at his own kitchen knife, wondering if there are still dishes that these few kitchen knives can't solve.

When the old man took out his kitchen knife, Zheng Ke's doubts were easily resolved.

The old man took out a few kitchen knives, then looked at them for a moment and thought for a moment, put two of them back into the knife box, and finally took out one of them.

This knife is narrow and long, with a sharp tip and a narrow blade. From the forehead (the end of the blade) to the tip, there is a gentle curve like a willow leaf.

Willow blade is the name of this knife.And the function of this knife is relatively single, used to cut sashimi and vegetables.

"Liu Ren, do you have any?" the old man asked.

Zheng Ke shook his head. Zheng Ke rarely cooks Japanese food, and even less often makes sashimi, so he doesn't have such a more specialized kitchen knife.

"Can you do sashimi?" the old man asked next.

Zheng Ke shook his head first, then nodded sharply, "Yes, but only a little."

“Can you cut sashimi?”

Zheng Ke nodded again and again, this should be the basic skill of a chef, so he still knows how to do it.

"Then cut a few slices of raw fish and show me." The old man said as he pulled out a snapper from the box and threw it to Zheng Ke.

"Snapper?" Zheng Ke was taken aback. Why did he think that the sea bream that was hard to buy was similar to Chinese cabbage in the eyes of the old man?
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and cut the fish fillets!" Seeing Zheng Ke in a daze, the old man immediately became unhappy.

This old man also has quite a temper.

Zheng Ke picked up the chef's knife and thought silently.
