Chapter 753 The same spirit connects branches(1/2)
In the next twenty days, the performance of the "Stealing Five" completely exceeded the expectations of everyone around them.
They never cried out about suffering or tiredness.
Completely willing to accept the torture-like trial in the kitchen of hell.
Even if they were so exhausted that they returned to the dormitory in the middle of the night, so tired that they fell asleep while standing in the shower stall, and then bumped their heads against the wall, they had no complaints.
They even quickly figured out how to work in the harsh new environment.
Don't hesitate or ask questions in the kitchen, just focus on executing the foreign chef's instructions.
During the meal, after the Frenchman roars, he should try his best to remain silent, cover himself by concentrating on his work, or pretend to be too busy to pay attention and lower his eyes.
If it's not your fault, try not to appear in the chef's sight and don't make a sound, so as not to become cannon fodder.
Before going to work every day, I always put gauze and burn ointment into my pants pocket.
Just in case of bloodshed, wrap it up without anyone noticing and continue working!
In fact, whether it is the three French chefs or the Western chefs trained by them.
No one could have imagined that after these five chefs from the Tan Palace came here, even if they lost the nourishing life in the past, they would suddenly become a downcast phoenix.
But he is still able to quickly accept the redefined strict level and find his own position.
I am still able to adapt to the working requirements of a large professional Western kitchen so quickly, and understand the management methods that are completely different from Chinese food.
Originally, they thought, even if these five people could persevere, they would be exhausted and half-dead from the torture.
How is it possible that he doesn't seem overwhelmed, but is so energetic, even more energetic than those veterans who have long adapted to this kind of kitchen work?
In particular, these five people also showed strong understanding and learning ability.
Such relatively low-level mistakes, such as taking the wrong imported raw materials and seasonings, using the wrong knives, and forgetting to adhere to strict size standards when cutting things, will basically disappear as long as they are scolded once.
They are very good at observing, know how to adjust themselves, and are always trying their best to improve.
This allows them to always complete the basic work of the kitchen quickly and well.
As time passed day by day, it didn't take long for the "Stealing Five" from Tan Palace to compete with many of the masters who had worked with the French chef for a year and a half.
In fact, later on, every time the French chef graded the work of his subordinates in the kitchen.
The five people from Tan Palace all had perfect scores in all ten categories, and the other people who had been working for a short period of time were both good and average.
So in this way, the saying "gold always shines" really comes true.
It was impossible for the three French chefs not to notice that the five of them were so outstanding.
So after only one month of service, the five members of the Tangong team were all promoted, and their work content was substantially upgraded.
They were moved from the cutting and preparation area and the storage and freezing area to the appetizer area or soup area.
In other words, at this time, they finally got the opportunity to learn some simple French cooking through work practice.
And from then on, those French guys no longer considered them as irrelevant people.
His attitude towards them has become somewhat kinder.
Although when the restaurant opened for dinner, the three French chefs were as brutal and hysterical as lunatics, and they remained unabated.
But when the "war" is over, several "commanders" will pat them on the shoulder or show a little smile.
This is almost the same as Yang Luchan in "Stealing Fist", who gained the trust of his master through hard work and finally got the qualification to clean the practice ground when Chen was teaching Tai Chi.
Even if Yang Feng couldn't really get his wish and move to the pan-grilled area he longed for, Xu Chunyan could still go to the dessert area she longed for.
But I think as long as they maintain this working status and continue to gain more recognition from several French chefs, they will definitely have a chance to realize their long-cherished wish.
What's more, these practical areas are all next to each other.
When you have some free time, if you look up, you can always see how the chefs working on the main courses and desserts are working.
It's much better than before.
To put it bluntly, now they have crossed the entry threshold and can truly tell others that they are learning Western food.
Don't underestimate this!
You know, this is something that has never happened before in Maxim's kitchen.
Under normal circumstances, if they are not among the first batch of people to go to France for specialized assault training.
Those who are hired after this should have to work for three months, or even half a year, to do basic work before they can get such an opportunity.
This Tan Palace five-member team actually won such an honor so early and was unanimously recognized by French chefs.
It can be said that it has set a record for the shortest internship period for a new Maxim chef.
But as the old saying goes, a person who is not envied by others is a mediocre person.
The "Stealing Punch Five" will also inevitably arouse jealousy.
Although speaking of it, we are all fellow villagers, and we are all brothers who work in the kitchen.
But at this time, the old employees in Maxim's kitchen began to feel distant and indifferent towards the five people from Tan Palace.
He is no longer as responsive to questions and eager to help as he was at the beginning.
Sometimes, they even show a certain amount of hostility and are quite resistant and repulsive.
For example, the person in charge of each district was responsible for translating what the French chef said, and some people deliberately hid half of it and said the other half.
For another example, those old employees always deliberately put the five of them on to do the things that are difficult to do, things that are easy to get scolded, and things that no one else is willing to do.
But even so, it still cannot cover up the outstanding qualities and dazzling light of the five of them.
If nothing else, are these five people comparable to ordinary chefs?
They were originally the technical backbone of various famous restaurants, and when they came to Tan Palace, they continued to receive guidance from famous chefs.
Who doesn’t really love this industry, work hard, and be selected from the elite?
You're kidding! Just because they are the team leader of Tan Palace's kitchen team selected from so many chefs.
If you only get it from any restaurant, it will be enough to stand alone!
Therefore, most things in the kitchen are very simple for them, and they can basically understand what is going on after seeing it once.
Even if there is a secret that they can't figure out individually, isn't there someone else who can discuss it with them?
Five people hugging each other can almost stand up to two Zhuge Liangs.
What's more, there are far fewer cooking methods for Western food than Chinese food, and what they learn is the easiest cold dishes and soups, so why is there any discomfort?
To use an analogy, this principle is similar to the dispute between the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect of the Huashan Sword Sect in Jin Daxia's novel.
Jian Zong's heavy move changes make it quick to get started and the threshold is low.
The effect is remarkable once you practice it, and your early strength can overwhelm the airbenders.
But the ceiling is limited, and it becomes difficult to break through after reaching a certain level.
On the other hand, the airbenders exploded with thick accumulation.
Although it is not easy to lay a good foundation in the beginning, progress is also slow.
But once you have mastered your inner strength, no matter how ordinary your moves are, they are still very powerful.
For the chefs of Maxim Restaurant, the Tan Gong Five are like Qi Bong, and they have a solid cooking foundation laid by Chinese food.
They are already at the level where they can see and handle various ingredients with ease, without having to learn any basic things.
They say they come here to learn about French cuisine, but come here and take a look at what the rules of foreign cuisine are.
What raw materials to use, what condiments, how to manipulate them specifically, and how to cleverly change them.
So despite the language barrier, the French people looked confused when they spoke, and some people stumbled deliberately, it didn't hinder them much.
After all, they learn with their eyes and hands.
As long as you follow this approach and imitate the Frenchman's techniques, you will always be able to achieve the same goal.
On the contrary, in the eyes of those old employees, it is extremely evil!
These five people learn cooking like geniuses, as if their brains are not human brains.
No matter what French chefs cook, as long as they watch it once, they can remember the general operating procedures and discover the key points of the tricks.
After watching it twice, you can learn a lot.
I really have to watch it three or four times, and they can already do a good job.
It can even be done better and faster than those who have been taught many times by French chefs.
If they didn't understand foreign languages, they wouldn't be able to use modern cooking tools.
Most of the time, we have to communicate with the French chefs through the translators of the chefs in charge of each district.
It is inevitable to rely on Maxim's old employees to help find some raw materials and condiments.
I'm afraid it's hard for those Western chefs to maintain their confidence and feel that they still have any advantages.
Think about it, if in the class of a key middle school suddenly there are five academic masters who can get into graduate school at Tsinghua University or Peking University, they will get perfect scores in every exam.
