The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 68 Chapter 19
Apprenticeship is not successful.

Not long after the restaurant opened, Zheng Ke's team lost a chef, which also cast a shadow over the next three hours of assessment.

After the bald head was kicked out, the restaurant became calm again, and Zheng Ke returned to the kitchen window, waiting for the next dish.

"Zheng Ke..."

Zheng Ke turned his head, and Mami looked at him anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ke looked at Mami suspiciously.

"Spice, no spice... no allspice." Mami nearly cried.

"Aren't you all preparing ingredients all afternoon?"

"No... Half of the people are practicing other cooking to make up for the students who were taken away. Only eight or nine people actually prepare the ingredients, and there is no such spice in the list given by the senior."

"No way? You bring the list given by the senior sister, and I'll take a look."

There is no doubt about Xuanli's level. When she was in Yuanyue Academy, she was already one of the ten outstanding talents of Yuanyue.Therefore, it is impossible for her to misidentify the ingredients. It is very likely that she deliberately provided a flawed list.

Mami hurriedly handed the list to Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke turned his attention to the spices, but he didn't see the Italian spices.In addition, some less commonly used herbs, such as bay leaf, and black water olive, a seasoning used to make smoked salmon, are also absent.

What Xuanli took out was an incomplete list of ingredients, not only the lack of spices or condiments, but even some ingredients were unclear.

If the person preparing the ingredients hasn't read the menu carefully, there's something very wrong with the ingredients they're preparing.

Those who are lazy will get into trouble because of this, while those who have really cooked with their own hands, such as Ezuya Ruishan, can deal with it calmly.

Being put together by Xuan Li, the difficulty of the whole training camp suddenly increased.

Seeing Mami's anxious expression, Zheng Ke comforted: "Don't worry, there is no other way. You can go to the teacher to find Italian spices, and I will give it a try right now."

Mami nodded, and immediately ran towards Mina Kamihara,

Among the four lecturers, Mina Kanbara was the best at speaking, and she was also the most popular among the students.As a counter-example, Bai Shilongyi, who has a lot of calculations, is annoying.

Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Ke also continued Mami's unfinished cooking.

The dish Asami was going to make was cappuccino mushroom soup. During the preparation process, minced garlic, chopped onions, diced potatoes and Italian mixed spices were stir-fried. It was when Asami was doing this that a problem arose.

Italian comprehensive spices, as the name suggests, are spices mixed with a variety of spices. Generally, there will be various aromas such as pizza grass, rosemary, oregano leaves, and thyme.

Because he didn't know the ratio of various herbs, Zheng Ke couldn't make it out.

Fortunately, the recipe does not require much Italian spices, only a small amount is needed.Even if it is not added, the impact on the entire dish is limited.

Zheng Ke is going to try to see if the taste of this soup will be seriously affected if there is no Italian spices.

After frying the potatoes, garlic, onion, etc., Zheng Ke poured water into it according to the recipe and boiled them together.

At this time, a classmate brought over two black pepper steaks, and Zheng Ke took advantage of the interval between cooking the soup to serve the two steaks to the table.

"Honey, what do you think of the taste?" The man asked his wife who was sitting opposite with a look of hospitality.

"No, the beef is not chewy. You see, it takes a lot of force to cut the beef."

"No way! This is a restaurant owned by Yuanyue..."

After hearing the conversation between the couple, Zheng Ke mourned for the chefs who made the two steaks. A rating below 7 is almost inevitable.

When she returned to the kitchen, Mami stood beside the hot pot in frustration, bewildered.

"Doesn't Kanbara-senpai give spices?"

Mami nodded, "Senior Ryuichi Shiraishi said that we only have four hours to prepare the ingredients in the afternoon, and we can't add any more ingredients today."

"Don't worry, there will be a solution. You give in first, the soup will be ready soon."

"But, no Italian spice..."

"It doesn't matter. Mami, don't you still understand the intentions of the seniors? They set the safety line at 7 points on the first day because they took this situation into consideration.

"We don't need to make this dish perfect, we just need to get a score of 7. I read the recipe just now, and this dish requires a small amount of Italian spices. Without it, the taste will definitely be lacking, but if you get Satisfaction score of 7 should not be a problem. Don't panic.

"Also, there is definitely something wrong with the list of ingredients given by Senior Sister Xuanli. Some of the ingredients don't match up. Tonight, you must not make any dishes other than these two soups. We have to live through today before we talk about it."

Zheng Ke crossed out Mami's name on the menu and wrote his name.

"You wait, I'll go and see what customers say about this dish, and then you can make plans."

"No, just write my name..."

"Go back! You still have the next menu."

After making the cappuccino mushroom soup, Zheng Ke took a sip, and the aroma was slightly lacking.The cooking notes gave a score of 67 points. This score should be no problem for ordinary diners, right?

Mami looked at Zheng Ke who was gradually going away, and could only sigh helplessly, her heart was tightly pulled.

Zheng Ke sent the prepared cappuccino mushroom soup to the designated table, "Sir, please take your time with the soup you want."

The other party was reading a magazine, and when he heard that the soup he ordered was brought up, he subconsciously picked up the spoon.After the soup entered his mouth, the man's eyes brightened immediately, and he drank the cappuccino mushroom soup in one gulp.

It seems to be smoother than expected.

I'm so sorry for treating you like a guinea pig.However, the taste should be pretty good, right?

Zheng Ke apologized slightly to the customer, then turned around and gave Mami a thumbs up, and she was relieved.

Mami's encounter is just a microcosm of other chefs. During the 3-hour simulated operation, a lot of problems appeared.

There was also friction between the waiters and the chefs. Many chefs complained loudly because the waiters did not help, and the waiters were also dissatisfied because the chefs could not cook in time.

However, they all still knew each other as a group, and no large-scale conflict occurred.

Time passed slowly, after the customers left.The score-marked menu was directly handed over by the customer to the four lecturers, and the lecturers also sorted out the scores on the menu.

Just after 8:[-] o'clock, Bai Shilong put up a closed sign outside the door,
Wait until all the customers leave the restaurant after they are full of wine and food, and there are still 30 minutes before the stipulated closing time.

All the students gathered in the hall, looking nervously at Shiraishi Ryuichi and the white paper in his hand.

"Everyone, I am very disappointed with your performance. It is hard for me to believe that you are students of Totsuki Academy. You have not even prepared the most basic ingredients. None of you have read the recipes of these ten dishes. Go through it again.

"During these three hours, a total of more than 30 people came to the four of us to look for ingredients. If you have read the menu before, how could you not even prepare the ingredients?"

Bai Shilong's face turned red, and his sharp eyes made one feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Inside the hall, there was a chill.

"Next, everyone whose name I have read out, congratulations, you have been relieved—you have been eliminated."
