Moreover, the National Cooking Competition is not like the small competition held by the previous Sanjiang Tourism Festival, which only tests the cooking skills of chefs.

The content of the competition is very clear. It also tests the participants' kitchen management and catering skills. I do not have an advantage in this aspect.

After all, my time working in the kitchen is limited, and I have just started to get involved in management. There is still a long way to go!

Liu Yunong said directly: "This is easy to talk about. I heard from Chef Zhao that you have joined the Provincial Food Association now? There is no problem with this requirement."

"Besides, the Chollima Hotel is too small and does not meet the competition standards. You can sign up as your employer at Shangshi Private Restaurant. Anyway, you have both sides. If Chollima doesn't work, just go this way."

Fu Yu felt relieved and couldn't help but ask: "Master, wouldn't I have taken up your store's competition quota?"

Liu Yunong looked at Fu Yu and smiled slightly: "Our store never participates in these cooking-related competitions."

Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing.

Shangshi Private Restaurant has always cooked Liu family cuisine, which is famous for its family secrets.

Cooking operations have always been passed on internally and not externally.

Shangshi Private Restaurant has never participated in such live cooking activities in public.

Moreover, with the reputation and influence of our own store, there is no need to participate in this type of competition to promote it.

Liu Yunong continued: "Xiaofu, if you sign up in the name of our store, you will represent Shangshi Private Restaurant in such a competition this time. Since this competition is a national event, there are many people paying attention. , so for our circle, the gold content of this honor is still very high."

"Although we have never participated in this type of event before, but now that we are preparing to participate, we must not only do our best, but at least we must not be left behind!"

Fu Yu was grateful and looked at Liu Yunong: "Yes! Master, I want to participate! But I'm afraid my current level and skills are not enough."

He spoke the truth and was not deliberately being modest.

Even though he has the system by his side and has mastered several basic cooking skills, Fu Yu knows very well that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world.

Liu Yunong was very satisfied with Fu Yu's humble attitude and said with a smile: "Look at the date, it won't be held until spring. I'm just going to inform you in advance and focus on training you in the future."

"After you go back, if you have nothing to do, take a look at the videos of the previous chef competitions. There are some serious chefs whose cooking demonstrations are very eye-catching. They are worth watching and pondering carefully."

After discussing with Liu Yunong, Fu Yu returned to the kitchen.

To be honest, he had little expectations!

In addition to the national cooking competition being a good opportunity for training and learning, being able to receive a series of tasks is also a rare surprise.

Originally, Fu Yu was a little unsure. After all, there were so many contestants across the country and there were countless types of dishes, so he felt a little guilty.

But through Liu Yunong, Fu Cong learned that there are actually some differences between this kind of national competition and small-scale competitions.

Because the national cooking competition does not have a tasting session with judges, the main thing is to look at the overall cooking effect and the process of arranging the meal.

Fu Yu made up his mind to cooperate with all the training exercises arranged by Liu Yunong during this period. In addition to taking time to continue studying the classic recipes, he also had to pay attention to all the steps of taking orders and serving dishes in the kitchen.

Back in the kitchen, Liu Yunong was going to cook peony fish fillet again, so he asked the waiter to hurry up and prepare the dishes.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Fu Yu couldn't help but secretly check his new rewards.

Select View.

[Finger dexterity: Dexterous hands are one of the signs of a good chef. Current dexterity improvement: 10%.]

Fu Yu subconsciously moved the fingers of his hands, and immediately felt that his fingers were obviously much more flexible than before.

Moreover, when making various gestures, the movements are also very fast and coherent.

I can move quickly without feeling tired, and it is obviously much easier to perform various movements that I found difficult before.

This reward is good. His hand speed was already very fast. Now that it has been improved, it is even more convenient and flexible.

[Universal Chopsticks: High-quality high-end chopsticks, perfect and versatile, without any shortcomings, can pick up anything, will never slip, and will not damage the surface of food!]

Unexpectedly, in addition to improving the flexibility of my fingers, I also got an additional set of cooking equipment!

Chopsticks are the most frequently used kitchen utensils in cooking.

Moreover, in some operations such as stewing to determine whether the food has become crispy and turning the food over when frying, the use of chopsticks is an irreplaceable instrument.

Chopsticks are very convenient and easy to use, but because the gripping strength is wrong or the surface of the food is too smooth, the gripping is often not firm, causing the food to fall off or change its direction, thereby damaging the food.

Fu Yu was quite happy to receive this kitchen utensil reward.

Even chopsticks have appeared. What about range hoods, ovens, gas stoves, pots and pans? Are they still far away?

Because the function of the oil-free colander is a bit unbelievable, and the requirements for the cooking environment are relatively high, and the appearance of this absolutely non-slippery chopstick is perfect for Yu.

In addition, Fu Yu was surprised to find that he had been promoted to level 10.

As long as you upgrade one level, the attribute level can be upgraded to an intermediate chef.

Although becoming an intermediate chef is only a change in title and does not bring any substantial rewards, upgrading the title is also an affirmation of one's cooking skills.

Fu Yu is still very concerned about this.

Liu Yunong's talent in cooking is actually amazing.

Even if Fu Yu has the system by his side, he is very much aware of and amazed by this.

Obviously I just watched the detailed on-site cooking operation once and did not actually practice it.

However, Liu Yunong can almost perfectly reproduce all the details and key operations of cooking this dish.

If it weren't for his slightly inferior hand speed and time control, even Fu Yu felt that Liu Yunong's cooking skills could reach his own level.

You must know that in terms of hand speed and time control, I have been strengthened by cheating from the system.

As for Liu Yunong, an ordinary person, it is already amazing that he can reach the current level.

Fu Yu had long discovered that Liu Yunong was extremely good at splitting a category, which was a skill that really tested the finger dexterity and hand speed.

Now I find that she also controls the heat very accurately.

Of course, it can't be compared with someone like me who has plug-ins.

But among ordinary chefs, he can be considered a leader.

To have such superb cooking skills, no matter how talented you are, requires hard work and hard work.

Thinking of this, Fu Yu admired and appreciated Liu Yunong even more.

This is a very hardworking and capable chef.

He is fully worthy of the title of celebrity chef.

Liu Yunong spent nearly four hours cooking this peony fish fillet.

In the end, the plating was not done at all, and we ran out of time.

The fried fish was eaten by several people in the kitchen. The taste was okay, but because the frying time was too long, except for the few pieces of fish that came out of the pan at the end, the texture of the rest was obviously not crispy enough.

Liu Yunong tasted a piece by herself, and said quite contentedly: "It's still far from what you made! But it's much better than the one I made before. If I make it a few more times, it should be no problem."

After all, two people can work together at the same time when frying in the kitchen, which can save a lot of time.

As for this dish, I am not in a hurry to put it on the shelves. I will think about it for a while and see if I can shorten the cooking time and make some adjustments to the taste.

Especially in terms of sauces, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Since you want to include this dish in the recipe, you must make it unique to your own store.

Liu Yunong is very experienced in this. This matter is not a rush job and must be done slowly.

The next day, Zhao Meng worked the evening shift.

Fu Yu stayed up late last night and looked for some cooking videos related to the National Chef Competition two days ago. Originally, he just wanted to get a general understanding of the content and process of the competition, but unexpectedly he discovered a very good middle-aged chef.

The other party is very good at both cooking and overall management of the kitchen. Watching him cook while coordinating and managing all the serving matters is a particularly comfortable and enjoyable thing.

Fu Yu originally didn't want to stay up late, but he got interested. After watching the finals, he couldn't help but find the video from the regional competition.

I continued to watch and replay it, and didn’t fall asleep until dawn.

My sleeping posture was not correct, and I felt a little stiff when I woke up in the morning.

Gu Yunwu's people were responsible for preparing breakfast. Fu Yu followed everyone after finishing the meal and was about to go to the storage room to check the pickling status of the side dishes when he suddenly received a call from an unknown person.

After checking the phone number carefully and making sure that he didn't recognize it, Fu Yu hesitated for a moment before picking up.

Unlike other colleagues, I often receive all kinds of calls from relatives and friends.

In addition to sending messages to Liu Yuqing, Fu Yu usually talks on the phone with his parents every night when he takes a taxi back to the store.

Others, like my classmates at the chef school, usually chat in the group, and they live in all over the world, with almost no phone contact.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fu?" The other party is a woman. Her voice sounds gentle and her words are clear. She makes a very good first impression.

Fu Yu responded: "Well, hello."

Fu Yu said no more, waiting for the other party to explain his purpose.

Meng Dan said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Fu, I am Meng Dan, the manager of the Fengqiao Riverside Sales Office."

"It's like this. Manager Wang asked me to check the information with you. We need to report the information of the residents who signed the contract through the machine. This is also to facilitate the residents to exchange for their property certificates after the year."

When Fu Yu heard this, he remembered this.

The house I bought was a newly built one. After payment, I received a printed contract from the sales office. I had to wait until the community was officially handed over before I could go to Building 8 to exchange for the real estate certificate.
