Just returned from a class on advanced taste developnt practice.
Fu Yu isn’t great at other things, but when it cos to discussing the taste of ingredients, he’s a master.
After his thorough yet simple analysis and explanation, Feng Xiaoxiao imdiately wore a look of excitent as if she had found a kindred spirit.
"You’re absolutely right! So you’ve studied this area too, your perspective is exactly like what I know, I think the sa way."
They spoke in Mandarin, of course, but when Feng Xiaoxiao ntioned where she got this idea from, she switched to English.
Fu Yu didn’t have a clue what it ant, so he just chuckled and said, "What a coincidence."
He guessed it might have been so friend or teacher who had discussed this concept with Feng Xiaoxiao.
But it wasn’t until Yao Shi picked up the conversation that he understood it seed to be an academic journal.
Fu Yu didn’t consider himself hugely knowledgeable, so he naturally wouldn’t feel any sha over such a thing, but he was still glad he didn’t randomly respond. It’s okay not to know sothing, but pretending to know when you don’t is laughable.
This small episode quickly passed.
The culinary skills at Qianlima’s kitchen are still quite good.
The chef for this order was from Gu Yunwu’s team.
In the past, Fu Yu really couldn’t tell which dish was made by Gu Yunwu and which was prepared by Yao Yihang.
But now, ever since his taste underwent deep developnt, when he tastes dishes again, his tongue has beco particularly discerning.
For example, the spicy crayfish in front of him, as soon as he tasted it, he guessed it should be Yao Yihang’s creation.
The cooking ti was clearly a bit off, the flavors were too strong, the ratio of spiciness and numbness wasn’t balanced, and the kitchen helper who washed the ingredients was clearly a bit negligent, as so of the shrimp veins weren’t cleaned properly, affecting the taste slightly.
But looking at the few people around him enjoying their al, they clearly didn’t notice these trivial flaws.
Fu Yu also silently picked the cleaner ones to eat, without making unnecessary comnts.
The whole dining process went smoothly enough.
A table of four people, split into two groups for conversation, but they got along quite well.
At the end of the al, Fu Yu gave himself an assessnt of this eting: ordinary. There didn’t seem to be any major slip-ups, nothing worth boasting about either.
However, just as they were about to leave, Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Fu Yu, "Xiaofu, do you know about the Culinary Association? The Association recruits new mbers every year, but ever since the new president took over, the rules have changed. Starting last year, they hold a unified recruitnt event around this ti each year. I ca to see you today to ask if you’re interested in joining the Association?"
Fu Yu: "!"
It’s like the solution just dropped into his lap when he needed it!
Fu Yu nodded, "Sure, I’ve heard about the Culinary Association a long ti ago, but I’ve never had the chance to get involved."
Feng Xiaoxiao laughed upon hearing that. She took out her phone, "Let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll send you the relevant registration materials later. Take a look, and if everything’s fine, I’ll get you an application form. After you fill it out, I’ll submit it for you. You’ll be just in ti to participate in the year-end conference."
For Feng Xiaoxiao to say that, it’s almost certain to happen.
Filling out the application is probably just a formality.
Fu Yu was delighted.
It seems completing the task is just around the corner.
Feng Xiaoxiao’s words left Yao Shi stunned...
Culinary Association?
Isn’t such an academic association sothing not just anyone can join?
He once had the thought of joining on a whim, but it just happened that the association was full at the ti, and they weren’t looking for new mbers. Then, busy expanding his career, this idea was shelved and forgotten.
But he still clearly rembered the specific requirents for joining.
To be selected, you must have recomndations from many professionals, write articles related to culinary topics, and achieve certain accomplishnts.
There’s also a requirent for years of experience in professional technical positions.
But now it seems.
As long as Fu Yu nods, it’s just a matter of filling out a form.
No, no, from Feng Xiaoxiao’s attitude, it seems that even if he doesn’t fill out the form, as long as she helps out, it could be sorted out in no ti.
Tsk!
This kid’s luck is too good!
It’s clear that Feng Xiaoxiao really appreciates Fu Yu.
Thinking of this, Yao Shi gave Feng Xiaoxiao another look.
As a female host, her looks and figure are naturally exceptional.
In terms of age, just over thirty, not too old either.
After all, in this day and age, as long as you have money, you can "reduce" a year in age for every hundred thousand Yuan you have. If you’re worth millions, you can choose to be as old as you like.
Yao Shi withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Yu.
Young, handso, that’s enough.
Yao Shi narrowed his eyes and asked, "To join the Culinary Association, as far as I know, don’t you also need to go through selection? Besides experience and qualifications, isn’t there a need to do culinary-related research and publish related articles?"
Yao Shi felt that Feng Xiaoxiao’s intentions weren’t simple.
They definitely weren’t pure.
A young, beautiful, and financially comfortable female host, just because she ate a barbecue, specially sought connections to be introduced to a chef.
Especially since this chef was also striking and handso.
As Fu Yu’s leader, Yao Shi felt he definitely needed to look out for him.
But Fu Yu looked worried.
Joining the association also required writing articles?
With his limited writing skills, just writing a recipe was about his limit.
Recalling the result of an hour spent perusing a literary masterpiece last night to cultivate his literary taste.
Fu Yu truly had little confidence in himself.
He actually just wanted to complete the task and join the Culinary Association in passing.
Yao Shi’s words made Fu Yu resolve to dive back into reading tonight once he got ho.
Building literary knowledge was sothing he had to work on.
Feng Xiaoxiao said, "Oh, don’t worry about that. Chef Fu, I happen to have a project application in process, and the manuscript is already complete. I’ll add you to it. Once it’s approved, it can be directly recorded in your profile."
Yao Shi: "!"
He really wanted to ask if maybe he could join too?
Fu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded, looks like this task is all but secured...
After seeing off Feng Xiaoxiao and Zhang Shiniang, Yao Shi headed straight to the office area.
Fu Yu returned to the kitchen.
As he walked back, he pondered on checking online later to see what benefits there might be from joining the Culinary Association.
It’s said associations recognized by the state usually co with certain guarantees.
He already had his basic insurances and housing fund; wondered if he could maybe secure a guaranteed additional salary?
Even if there wasn’t money to be had, receiving extra gifts during the holidays wouldn’t be too bad.
Fu Yu thought all this as he turned into the hallway leading from the front to the back kitchen.
As he walked, he ca across Liu Yuqing bringing over a serving list from the kitchen.
