Chapter 474 Kitchen Assessment
After seeing that Jia Dongxu had passed the Level 2 assessment, Li Qin quietly left the crowd.
Next, Li Qin slowly walked towards the venue where the logistics department was being assessed.
He wanted to see if He Yuzhu had already started the assessment.
The number of employees in the logistics department is far less than that of the workshop employees, so the assessment venue is naturally not very large.
As for the kitchen staff participating in this assessment, the number was even smaller.
It's not that they don't want to improve, but rather that the kitchen itself doesn't have many qualified chefs.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the steel rolling mill has four canteens since its expansion:
There aren't many chefs who are officially in charge of cooking, plus those who haven't been officially hired yet, and apprentices.
The chefs mentioned here refer to those with a lineage of skills, not just those who can cook everyday home-style dishes.
When Li Qin arrived at the chef assessment site, he happened to see several canteen apprentices undergoing their assessments.
The chef's rank is exactly the opposite of the factory worker's rank;
Among workshop workers, Grade 1 workers are the lowest grade, while Grade 8 workers are the highest grade.
In the culinary industry, the lowest level is eighth-grade chef, and the highest level is first-grade chef.
Although level eight chef is the lowest, passing it is not easy.
Without a master to pass on the skills, and without certain experience in cooking, one simply cannot pass the test.
Take, for example, this group of people currently undergoing assessment. Although they have been learning their skills in the back kitchen of the steel rolling mill for some time, or even several years.
However, he still hasn't mastered much of the cooking skills.
Li Qin could judge the apprentices' apprenticeship level simply by the smell of their cooking and the appearance of the dishes they made.
It's not fair to blame the apprentices for not working hard; the key issue is that many of their masters at that time hadn't yet changed their mindset.
The old methods of accepting apprentices and passing on skills are still used.
The requirement is to first put them through a three-year trial period;
Chop vegetables, wash vegetables...
The same tests.
Only after the master approved of the apprentice did he begin teaching how to flip the wok, and only then did he begin teaching how to stir-fry the vegetables...
Even so, in the end, the master would still hold back a trick.
People like He Yuzhu, whose families have a tradition of culinary skills, are still a minority.
Therefore, the number of people who will pass the cooking skills test at the steel rolling mill will definitely not be many, and may even be very few.
Li Qin noticed that He Yuzhu was also watching the assessment from the side.
After watching for a while, He Yuzhu smiled, his gaze towards the apprentices filled with disdain and smugness.
As time passed, the assessment was drawing to a close.
The meals prepared by the apprentices will be served to five professional chefs.
These five chefs include those from government agencies and those from the Sijiucheng Grand Hotel.
They are also judges and examiners for culinary skills assessments.
Five examiners tasted the dishes prepared by the apprentices one by one, and then gave them a grade based on a comprehensive evaluation of color, aroma, taste, and other factors.
Soon, all the final results were in.
As Li Qin had predicted, none of the apprentices who participated in the assessment passed the level eight chef assessment.
Upon hearing the result, the apprentices who participated in the assessment all showed expressions of regret and disappointment.
However, under the host's guidance, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner.
Then the host began calling out names loudly.
These selected individuals will participate in the assessment.
"He Yuzhu!"
Just as Li Qin was watching, he suddenly heard the host call out He Yuzhu's name.
"What a coincidence!"
Li Qin did not expect that he would encounter He Yuzhu taking the assessment as soon as he arrived here.
He looked at He Yuzhu in the crowd.
Upon hearing his name, He Yuzhu couldn't help but show a hint of nervousness on his face.
After watching the assessment of the previous group of apprentices, He Yuzhu was confident that he could pass the assessment, but when the actual assessment came, he was still hesitant.
He Yuzhu was also unable to remain calm.
Soon He Yuzhu and a group of people went up to the assessment site.
Under the host's arrangement, everyone will have their own stove and work surface...
On the work surface, there were potatoes, cabbage, and other ingredients and seasonings that had been prepared in advance.
"The first round of the assessment is now beginning, sword!"
At the host's command, the participants picked up the kitchen knives on the worktable and began processing potatoes, cabbages, and other vegetables.
Although there were quite a few people participating in the assessment this time, Li Qin's attention was mainly focused on He Yuzhu.
As soon as He Yuzhu made his move, Li Qin couldn't help but sigh inwardly;
Although Li Qin looked down on He Yuzhu's character and personality, he had to admit that He Yuzhu was quite skilled in cooking.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Li Qin could clearly see that the potato shreds He Yuzhu cut were of different lengths and thicknesses.
They are all very neat and tidy.
The key point is that when He Yuzhu is cooking, his state of mind is completely unmatched by most people around him.
The knife skills assessment was completed very quickly.
As expected, He Yuzhu achieved very good results in this segment.
Next comes the most crucial step: stir-frying the vegetables.
This is the time to test your true abilities.
As the spatula danced and stirred the food, the aroma of the vegetables gradually began to spread.
Among the people being assessed, several were cooks in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill, just like He Yuzhu.
Therefore, the stir-fried dishes are naturally incomparable to the previous batch.
You can tell this just by the smell.
Looking at He Yuzhu's confident face, Li Qin's fingers twitched.
Li Qin knew very well that if he wanted to sabotage He Yuzhu's assessment, now was the best time to act.
Moreover, Li Qin was confident that he could do it himself without anyone noticing.
The thought of He Yuzhu repeatedly causing trouble for him after he transmigrated here, and even trying to sabotage him, is unbearable.
A sense of malice couldn't help but rise in Li Qin's heart.
He wanted to cast a spell in He Yuzhu's direction.
But in the end, Li Qin sighed and slowly lowered his hand.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's just let it go for He Yuzhu's sake this time, out of consideration for that little girl, He Yushui."
If He Yuzhu didn't have a younger sister, Li Qin would definitely have already made his move.
However, considering that He Yuzhu still had to support his younger sister He Yushui, Li Qin finally gave up.
After all, He Yuzhu and He Yushui depend on each other for survival, and He Yushui is still just a child who is entirely supported by He Yuzhu.
If He Yuzhu fails this assessment, his income will definitely be affected.
Ultimately, this will definitely affect He Yushui's life as well.
Li Qin still felt a little pity for He Yushui, this poor little girl.
Besides this, there was another reason why Li Qin didn't take action: every time He Yuzhu caused him trouble in the past, Li Qin would retaliate on the spot.
He Yuzhu suffered losses as a result several times.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
Li Qin glanced deeply in He Yuzhu's direction, then stopped thinking about making a move and simply watched the assessment unfold before him.
In his opinion, He Yuzhu was basically guaranteed to pass this assessment.
Because whether it was knife skills or stir-frying, He Yuzhu's performance exceeded the level of an eighth-grade chef.
