Chapter 414 Trials(1/2)
Time flies by.
Before I knew it, more than two months had passed.
During this period, Dianxinlou has developed rapidly and its position in the industry has risen sharply.
Although it is still not as good as some old hotels, Dianxin Tower is one of the best among the new generation of high-end hotels.
The reputation that belongs to Dianxinlou is gradually formed.
During this period, Dianxin Tower did not encounter too many difficulties, and most of them were blocked by the Shangwei Tower. Dianxin Tower did not face many things alone.
During this period, people who have the idea of participating in the National Noodle Delivery Competition are actively preparing.
This is different from the young pastry chef competition. There is no age limit for this competition, and some old pastry chefs can also participate.
All major restaurants and hotels have strong support for their own pastry chefs to participate in this competition.
Of course, you have to support it only if you have the ability. If you don’t have the ability, you have to participate, so you won’t support it.
If you get a ranking in this competition, the benefits of a restaurant are very great.
This can be used as a publicity gimmick and can attract many guests.
As for the time being delayed when participating in the competition?
That's the meaning.
However, no contestant can have so many Dianxinlou.
There were five people in Dianxin Tower who were going to participate in the competition, and two of these five were the bosses of Dianxin Tower.
Fortunately, Yao Jun did not plan to participate, otherwise no one would be in charge of Dianxin Tower.
This competition is a grand event for the pastry chefs, and many pastry chefs are paying attention to the competition.
People like to divide one, two or three into one. No one does this kind of chef list. But through this game, we can also roughly see who is better.
In addition to pastry chefs, some people will pay attention to it, and these are all gourmets.
There is no publicity about this game on the Internet, everything is going on slowly.
Those who are interested may know, but most people don’t know about this game.
During these two months, Gao Dian has not been idle.
He was working hard to improve himself, and he polished dishes after dishes.
…………
As the national pastry teacher competition was selected, Gao Dian packed up his things very early and rushed to the competition venue.
Those who walked with him were Li Dongyang, Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang, and Wei Qiaoyi was in Dianxin Tower.
She doesn't have to participate in the trial competition, because the special first-level pastry chef can directly enter the subsequent competition through the trial competition.
In the car, the four of them were a little silent, and the atmosphere in the car was a little solemn.
Soon, the car arrived at the competition venue, and the four of them got off with their own kitchen utensils and ingredients.
That’s right, the selection competition is made with its own ingredients, not the organizer’s unified purchase.
The quality of the ingredients, to a certain extent, directly affects the quality of the pastry taste.
The ingredients are brought in, so that everyone can prepare suitable ingredients to better display their cooking skills.
It is completely fine if you want to use higher quality ingredients or rare ingredients. As long as you can control them, you will be at your own risk.
The ingredients prepared by Gaodian are just suitable quality and can exert the taste of the pastry. As for the more rare ingredients, he did not prepare them.
Li Dongyang was full of confidence and was confident that he had passed this selection.
Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang had a bit solemn expression.
The four of them got out of the car, walked into the competition venue together, and after a series of sign-in and other procedures, the four of them sat in the lounge and waited.
The selection competition is to select contestants, and those with strength can enter the subsequent competition.
If all the registered contestants are gathered together to compete, it is very difficult and troublesome. Through the advance screening of the selection competition, a large number of players with insufficient strength can be selected.
There are a lot of pastry chefs nationwide, and only a very small number of them sign up for the competition.
But even this small number of people are not large.
The selection competition is divided into different regions and is held separately.
Each region has different quotas according to the approximate level of local noodle chefs.
There are more places for strong pastry chefs, and there are relatively fewer places. On the contrary, there are fewer places for strong pastry chefs.
Gaodian and others are one of the most powerful places in China, so there are actually a large number of places.
They have twenty places in this selection competition, that is, the top twenty, so they are qualified to participate in the subsequent competition.
It sounds like there are still quite a few places, but you should know that in the area of Gaodian and others, there are 400 people participating in the selection competition.
Among these four hundred people, most of them are first-level pastry chefs, and very few are second-level or third-level pastry chefs.
There are so many first-class pastry chefs that are rarely seen on weekdays, and everyone is distributed all over the place.
It was this competition that we got together.
Of course, these hundreds of first-level pastry chefs are not all first-level pastry chefs in this area.
There are still many first-class pastry chefs who have not attended.
Many people have similar reasons to Yao Jun. They don’t have the spirit of this and know that they can’t get a ranking even if they participate, so they simply stop participating.
Some are also for other reasons.
Gao Dian and the four of them were considered relatively young among the contestants.
So as soon as they came in, they attracted everyone's attention.
Gao Dian sat calmly, and Li Dongyang also looked calm, but Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang were a little nervous.
Li Dongyang's current level is not top among this type of contestant, but he also has the opportunity to compete for the qualification.
But Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang had little hope.
Today is the first trial.
The four of them sat here, but no one came to provoke or anything. Everyone was concentrating on the next game.
After a while, the sound of horns in the rest area sounded.
"Hello everyone, everyone is welcome to participate in this competition. Next, I will read the rules of this selection. Please listen carefully."
Immediately, everyone in the rest area looked focused.
Immediately afterwards, the speaker began to talk about the rules of this competition.
Gaodian also pay attention to prevent any mistakes.
"This selection competition was held in groups, with fifty people in each group being held at the same time.
In the first round of the competition, the top 200 advanced; in the second round of the competition, the top 100 advanced; in the third round of the competition, the top 50 advanced; in the fourth round of the competition, the top 20 will be determined.
After each round of competition, the list of passes will be announced, please check it out.
During the competition, please pay attention to the time. Once the time has exceeded and the cooking has not been completed, the competition will be automatically abandoned.
In each round of competition, the same pasta cannot be used.”
There are some rules, some of which are not very important.
Gao Dian listened, but he didn't take it seriously.
Feng Zhigang asked in confusion: "Why is this game so troublesome?"
"Is this a troublesome? The game of more than 400 people is already quite simple. It is simple and rough, and it will be cut in half in one round." Li Dongyang said.
"No, since the top 20 are selected to participate in the next competition, why not just end in one round? Why do you have to go round after round? Isn't this even more troublesome?" Feng Zhigang asked.
"I know this," Gao Dian said with a smile.
Hearing Gao Dian's words, the three of them looked over and waited for Gao Dian to speak.
Gao Dian has known the rules of the selection competition for a long time.
More than two months ago, Wei Qiaoyi asked Gao Dian about the rules of the selection competition. Although it was the past, it was similar to this time.
Gao Dian also had some doubts and asked Wei Qiaoyi.
"I don't know if you have noticed this selection competition. The pastries in each round cannot be repeated. In other words, the pastries you used in the first round and the subsequent competitions can no longer be used." Gao Dian said.
"I noticed it, but it was a little strange. Why did this rule be set?" Zhou Yongqing said, touching her chin.
Gao Dian explained with a smile: "This is related to the problem of Lao Feng just now. Why do we have to design so many rounds of competitions? Because the organizers should try to screen out pastry chefs with strong cooking skills."
After a pause, Gao Dian continued: "You should know that the production of pastries has a lot to do with the condition at that time. For example, I am not in good condition today and the pastries I made are not ideal, but can I say that my cooking skills are poor?
There are so many rounds of competitions to make the screening more fair. At the same time, different pastries are also the same reason to make the screening more fair."
With Gao Dian's explanation, the three of them also roughly understood the reason.
