Chapter 71 I also want to take the test
After lunch in the afternoon, it was already half past two.

Zhou Qingde agreed in the morning that the assessment for promotion to the second kitchen master would begin at 2:30 p.m.

At this moment Zhou Qingde asked someone to prepare the examination seats. There were a total of nine people taking the examination, so nine seats were prepared.

There are quite a lot of chefs in Fengze Garden, including the newly promoted Wang Jianye, Cao Xiaodong and Feng Qingjie, a total of eighteen people.

This time, there are nine third-stove chefs taking the assessment to be promoted to second-stove chef, and more than half of them are willing to give it a try.

After all, the assessment for promotion to second-kitchen master is different from the apprentice grading assessment. If you fail the apprentice grading assessment, you can no longer stay in Fengze Garden, and if you fail the assessment for promotion to second-kitchen master, nothing will happen.

Therefore, many Sanzao masters are willing to give it a try, and the number of people taking the assessment is more than that taking the apprentice grading assessment.

Sha Zhu moved closer to Wang Jianye and could watch the fun again.

"Brother Wang, I heard that it is very difficult to be promoted to the second-class chef. You have to make all 50 dishes to the second-class chef level to ensure that you pass. During the assessment, nine dishes will be picked out. If you want to pass the assessment, you have to make all nine dishes to the second-class chef level. If you fail to make one dish to this level, you will not pass."

"I know."

Wang Jianye responded that he would go to take the assessment once the venue was cleaned up.

Sha Zhu didn’t know that Wang Jianye was going to take the assessment, nor did he expect that Wang Jianye would go to take the assessment.

It's not just Sha Zhu who thinks so. People like Cao Xiaodong, Feng Qingjie, Li Si, and Sun Qu can't think of it either.

After all, Wang Jianye had just passed the apprentice grading assessment in the morning and became a third-stove master. Now he had to take the assessment to be promoted to second-stove master this afternoon?

No one could have imagined it would be so outrageous.

"Hey, Sister Qin is here."

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu coming to the kitchen, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister Qin, are you here to watch the fun again?"

"There are basically no customers. I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look."

Qin Huairu came up to Wang Jianye and the other man and looked at him, "Brother Wang, you are now a chef who can cook, right?"

"Yes, from the moment I passed the apprentice grading assessment this morning and Master Zhou announced it, I have become the third kitchen master of our Fengze Garden."

Wang Jianye nodded.

Qin Huairu asked curiously again: "Brother Wang, the salary will be paid in two days. Will the salary you receive this month be based on the salary of a third-class master? Or will the salary you receive in two days still be based on the salary of an apprentice? When the salary is paid next month, you will receive the salary of a third-class master?"

"I asked my master about this before, and he said that the salary I received in two days would be a full month's salary calculated based on that of a third-stove master, and it would have nothing to do with being an apprentice."

Wang Jianye explained.

Fengzeyuan attaches great importance to talents and offers very good treatment.

Even if you receive your salary in the afternoon and are promoted to a third-stove master in the morning, you can still be paid according to the salary of a third-stove master.

"How many are there?"

Qin Huairu asked curiously.

Wang Jianye thought for a moment and said, "The salary of a third stove chef is 33 yuan per month, plus a 2 yuan subsidy, plus the share of the lottery, the total amount can be close to 40 yuan."

"Wow, that's a lot of money."

Qin Huairu said enviously.

She is now an intern receptionist and her monthly salary is only about ten yuan.

Her man, Jia Dongxu, worked as an apprentice fitter in a steel rolling mill, and his salary was very low, less than 20 yuan.

The combined monthly income of her and Jia Dongxu is not as much as Wang Jianye alone...

"I'm just getting started. When I become a second-class chef, my salary will be higher."

Wang Jianye said calmly.

"How much salary can the second kitchen chef get?"

Qin Huairu was interested in money. Wang Jianye thought for a moment and said, "The basic salary is 50 yuan, plus subsidies and lottery, it should be 60 yuan."

"Sixty dollars? That's too much. I can't spend it all."

Qin Huairu swallowed hard, very surprised.

Sha Zhu said, "Sister Qin, this is just the salary of the second chef. There are also the first chefs above them, and they get paid even more."

Qin Huairu gradually recovered from her shock and said, "It's a pity that I didn't study cooking, so I can't get such a high salary."

"Hey, Sister Qin, that's not necessarily true. Sister Qin, you're a waiter, one of the three major jobs in our catering industry. If you can really make it, the salary you get will not be lower than that of us cooks."

Sha Zhu said to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu said blankly: "Can a host really get such a high salary?"

"That's right. As the saying goes, the head waiter has two chefs, the second stove and the third stove. The status of the head waiter is no less than that of the chef for the red and white cases..."

In this day and age, if a chef wants to become famous, he must rely on his cooking skills on the one hand and his ability to entertain people on the other.

For example, when customers come to eat and ask the waiter to recommend a dish, the waiter may say that the fried pork kidney made by a certain chef here is the best and you must try it.

The more the waiter recommends, the more people will order the dish. Even if the dish is not actually so perfect, the waiter's eloquence will make the guests think it tastes good and they will come back next time.

The familiar waiters understand the customers' tastes and will tell the kitchen clearly what to put more or less of the food. Next time the customers come here to eat, they don't have to talk too much, so they are willing to come again.

Sometimes diners will deliberately find fault with the restaurant. A good host should not criticize the guests, but instead draw inspiration from traditional culture such as propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, so that the guests will feel ashamed and pay the bill consciously. The restaurant will not only receive the money but also make the customers convinced and become repeat customers.

Sha Zhu explained that these things were told to him by his father He Daqing, a chef, when he was a child.

"So, Sister Qin, you have to watch and learn well, and practice your speaking skills. Your salary will definitely increase in the future."

Qin Huairu nodded.

Sha Zhu looked at Wang Jianye again, "Brother Wang, with your talent, you should be taking the assessment to be promoted to the Second Kitchen Master by this time next year, right?"

"Will Brother Wang be able to take the assessment next year? Isn't it said that it is very difficult for a chef in the kitchen to be promoted, and it takes several years?"

Qin Huairu worked as a receptionist for a few days and gained some understanding of the situation in the kitchen.

"It's difficult to get promoted, but that's what others say. My brother Wang is different. They have a hard time getting promoted, but my brother Wang only took a week to pass the apprentice grading assessment perfectly. If he is given another year, his level will definitely be higher. I think he will definitely be promoted to second stove master tomorrow."

Sha Zhu said to Qin Huairu with a solemn oath.

Qin Huairu looked at Wang Jianye enviously: "In that case, Brother Wang, you can get a monthly salary of fifty yuan next year."

In her opinion, in just one year, Wang Jianye would be able to go from receiving a monthly salary of 33 yuan plus various benefits to a salary of 50 yuan plus various benefits.

The salary increase is too fast.

Sha Zhu also looked at Wang Jianye with envy.

When will he be treated so well?

Wang Jianye just smiled and didn't explain.

In fact, it would take him less than a year to get such a high salary.

Soon he will pass the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen master. After becoming the second kitchen master, he will receive a salary of 50 yuan plus various benefits when the salary is paid in two days.

Soon, the venue needed for promotion to the second kitchen master was prepared.

Those who want to take the test begin to enter.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu, Wang Jianye walked towards the examination venue.

"Brother Wang, they are going to have an assessment." Sha Zhu reminded.

"I know."

Wang Jianye looked back at him and said, "I want to participate too."
