Wei Lianzhang did not rush to answer this question, but asked: "What do you think is the highest evaluation of a person's achievements?"

Gao Dian blurted out, "No one has ever come before and after!"

After listening to the teacher’s question, this sentence instantly popped up in Gao Dian’s mind.

There are no ones before and no ones after that!

Just listening to this sentence makes me feel excited and people yearn for it now.

Who doesn’t want to say something when someone evaluates himself, that there are no ones who have come before and after?

Wei Lianzhang said in an exclaimed tone: "This sentence is correct, but it makes people feel a little sad."

Gao Dian was a little confused. Is this sentence sad? He didn't think so.

"The first half of this sentence is the highest evaluation, but the second half is the saddest thing," said Wei Lianzhang.

Then he said: "Unprecedented, it means that you have surpassed your predecessors, and that is indeed the highest evaluation. But the future has no future, but it makes people sad, because there is no future, it means there is no progress."

Gao Dian heard this and thought carefully, feeling that the teacher was right.

It is indeed a very sad thing to have no future.

"Beyond the predecessors and reach unprecedented people; at the same time, I also hope that the younger generation will be enterprising and that there will be futurers." Wei Lianzhang said.

"Although I have not reached the level of unprecedented success, there is no one behind me." Wei Lianzhang's tone was a little sad.

Gao Dian was a little confused. Didn’t he think so?

Wei Lianzhang saw the doubt in Gao Dian's eyes and said, "It is a very good era, with convenient transportation and developed information. Many delicious foods that were previously only available in some places can be tasted in other places.

This is a good era for chefs. Because more and more people have time and money to like food, and the collision between food cultures is more intense.

But now the pastry is exquisite in various ways, with very little real progress, and even a little backward."

"Teacher, probably not. Isn't the food culture now more prosperous?" Gao Dian asked.

Wei Lianzhang said: "What you see is just the surface. Nowadays, people are becoming more and more impetuous, and many people will not calm down and focus on pastries.

It is a good thing and a bad thing to replace manual production with machinery.”

When Gao Dian heard this, he thought of something he saw and nodded.

Wei Lianzhang said slowly again.

In fact, every era has two sides. There are benefits and disadvantages in replacing labor by machinery.

But what Wei Lianzhang cares more about is the impetuousness of people's hearts.

Under the surface where flowers seem to be blooming, there are all kinds of opportunities.

What they focus on is the appearance, the taste is curious, and there are very few people who really improve the pastry.

Because improving a pasta requires a lot of effort and cannot be completed in a short time.

But the unique appearance and curious taste can be easily completed.

Even nowadays, many chefs use semi-finished ingredients or compound seasonings. These things are processed by factories, and the taste is relatively stable and easy to cook.

Modern tools are not beasts, but they should be used reasonably instead of forming dependencies.

Finally, Wei Lianzhang said: "Sometimes it may not be the chef's fault, after all, everyone wants to make more money. But there must be some hard-working and professional research in an industry."

Gao Dian pursed his lips and said nothing.

"The topic is a bit too far-reaching. Now let's talk about why I want to accept you." Wei Lianzhang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gao Dian looked at Wei Lianzhang and listened attentively.

"I accept you because of your talent. I hope someone can surpass me and lead the progress of this pastry industry after I leave." Wei Lianzhang said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he said in a panic: "Teacher, this task is too heavy."

Wei Lianzhang smiled and said, "This is not a task, it is just my expectation. It's nothing if you can do the best, but it's not possible to do it. I believe that there will always be someone who will do it later."

Gao Dian was silent when he heard this. This expectation was too great and he dared not accept it.

Even if he has a plug-in, he cannot say that he can definitely surpass his teachers and lead the progress of the industry.

His plug-in only has a simple evaluation function. As for the way under his feet, he still has to walk it himself.

If his plug-in is a system, then he is very confident. At worst, it's just a little bit more.

"Okay, don't talk about this." Wei Lianzhang saw Gao Dian's hesitation and did not force him.

Gao Dian responded softly, and he felt a little guilty. The teacher was so tall for him, but he couldn't even catch some of the teacher's expectations.

"What level of cooking skills have you reached now?" Wei Lianzhang asked.

Gao Dian said: "I don't know what level it is, but my progress has become extremely difficult."

When Wei Lianzhang heard this, he said, "You should reach the top level. Next, you should clarify your path."

Gao Dian nodded and said, "Qiyi also told me before."

"I said it, that's good." Wei Lianzhang nodded, feeling very satisfied.

"Teacher, I don't know how to find my own way. Can you tell me?" Gao Dian asked.

Wei Lianzhang smiled and said, "Of course it can. In fact, it is not accurate to say that searching is not accurate, it should be clear."

Gao Dian was a little confused when he heard this. Before, Wei Qiaoyi told him that he was looking for it, but now the teacher told him clearly that it was clear. What exactly is it?

"Teacher, what is the way to clarify one's own path?" Gao Dian asked.

"The search you mentioned was Xiaoyi's words for you, right?" Wei Lianzhang asked instead.

Gao Dian nodded.

Wei Lianzhang continued: "Her situation is quite special, she is looking for nothing wrong. But you are different. You have your own path, but it is not clear yet.

In fact, most chefs have their own ideas or their own paths, but many people are not clear. Even if they are clear, they have no effect until their cooking skills reach the top level of first-class pastry chefs.

Do those chefs who have not reached the top level of first-class pastry chefs do not have any of their own characteristics? There are some, and although the style is not obvious, there are indeed some.

But they still have room for learning ahead, and it doesn’t make much sense to understand whether they know their own path.”

Through Wei Lianzhang's explanation, Gao Dian understood a little.

"So what I have to do now is to clarify my own characteristics or cooking philosophy?" Gao Dian said.

"Yes!" Wei Lianzhang nodded, and then said: "The reason why the special first-level pastry master is more powerful is because it makes improvements or breakthroughs based on the original basis. Of course, this is not a random change, but based on your own characteristics. Only with such pastries can you achieve the ultimate and be better than the original."

"In this process, it is also a sorting out what you have learned."

Gao Dian became more and more aware, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated.

Sure enough, after the teacher said this, he had a specific concept. What Wei Qiaoyi said was wrong, but she was too conceptual.

"Teacher, I understand." Gao Dian said.

"Well, as long as you can understand. No one can teach you the next road. You have to walk by yourself and think about it yourself." Wei Lianzhang said.

"Teacher, I understand." Gao Dian said.

"After saying so much, there is one last thing." Wei Lianzhang said.

"Teacher, what's the matter?" Gao Dian asked immediately.

"I left you something, and after I leave, someone will give it to you. In the future, you must focus more on the research on cooking skills and don't waste your talent.

Making money is important, but your cooking skills are the foundation for you to make money. When your cooking skills reach the top, you will find that money is actually easy to make.

Don't be confused by money...."

Wei Lianzhang said earnestly.

"Teacher, I understand, I can." Gao Dian said.

"Well, that's good." Wei Lianzhang nodded.

This was his last advice to Gao Dian. He watched Gao Dian grow up all the way.

Knowing his obsession with money.

In Wei Lianzhang's view, making money is the right thing to do, after all, people need to live, and they need money.

But making money should not be the whole thing. Gao Dian is so talented that if he is determined to make money, he will put the cart before the horse.

After a while, Wei Qiaoyi walked over with a water cup.

I took this water cup for a long time.

"Okay, Xiao Gao, go and do it first. Xiao Yi, go and see Xiao Gao off, I'll be here alone for a while." Wei Lianzhang said softly.

Wei Qiaoyi handed over the water cup and said, "Okay grandpa."

Afterwards, Gao Dian said goodbye to Wei Lianzhang and walked towards the hospital door with Wei Qiaoyi.

On the way, Wei Qiaoyi said: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Gao Dian heard this and said, "It's not hard, the store doesn't need to be managed. But you... have lost a lot of weight these days."

Wei Qiaoyi tweaked the hair in her ears, smiled and said, "It's okay."
