This kitchen knife called Zhanxiang is indeed a very good one. Ye Chui uses it very easily. Moreover, since it was given to him by Old Han, it must be quite valuable. However, Ye Chui never thought that this kitchen knife would be so famous that it could be recognized at a glance. Ge Yongming looked at him excitedly and asked, "Is this knife of yours Zhanxiang?"
"Yes..." Ye Chui nodded. He was a little confused. A kitchen knife is not a sword in martial arts novels. Even if this Zhanxiang is more famous, how did the old man recognize it? He asked, "Teacher Ge, how did you recognize this kitchen knife?"
"Isn't the name Zhanxiang engraved on the handle?" Ge Yongming said, pointing at the rosewood handle of the kitchen knife.
Ye Chui: “…”
So that's it, he was overthinking...
"Also, the pattern on this knife is also very unique, like a bunch of crabapple flowers. I have seen a picture of this knife in a book on the appreciation of famous Chinese knives, so I was able to guess it." Ge Yongming continued, looking at the kitchen knife lovingly. A kitchen knife is to a chef like a sword is to a swordsman. Ge Yongming was also a chef, so naturally he couldn't let go of this famous kitchen knife.
Not many candidates had heard of the name Zhan Xiang, but teachers Wang Haichun and Fan Wenbin had definitely heard of it. Fan Wenbin reached out and touched the pattern on the side of the kitchen knife in surprise: "Is this knife Zhan Xiang? I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see this famous kitchen knife in person!"
"I heard that this knife was collected by Mr. Han Xi, how come it appeared in the hands of this candidate?" Wang Haichun was puzzled, and then he suddenly realized something: Mr. Han would definitely not give such a precious collection to anyone casually, let alone to a young boy? That can only mean that Ye Chui has some relationship with Mr. Han. Could it be that Ye Chui is Mr. Han's disciple
Normal people would generally think along these lines, and considering Ye Chui's cooking skills, this guess would seem even more accurate.
Wang Haichun couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his face, he didn't expect Ye Chui to have such a powerful backer. Mr. Han was a giant in the food industry, he couldn't afford to offend him no matter what. He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to continue to go against Ye Chui, he had to think of a remedial measure!
Ge Yongming and Fan Wenbin also realized that Ye Chui might have some relationship with Old Han. They heard that Old Han was recuperating in Xizhou City recently. It made sense why Ye Chui would take the chef certification exam in Xizhou City. The way they looked at Ye Chui changed a little. At the same time, Ge Yongming thought in his heart that the reason why Ye Chu was able to cut out perfect rolling knife pieces was probably due to the contribution of this incense chopping knife.
In fact, he was wrong about this. Ye Chui could cut perfect dices with any knife, even a fruit knife. However, knowing this fact would definitely make Ge Yongming astonished. Now attributing the credit to the kitchen knife would save trouble.
Then Ge Yongming thought about cheating again. He was a straightforward person and would not change his mind easily. However, he would not forgive cheating. He looked at Ye Chui with some embarrassment: "Ye Chui, did you help this candidate cheat? I hope you can tell the truth!"
"No." Ye Chui shook his head and told the truth, "I did cut the lettuces, but I didn't intend to give the cut lettuce pieces to Sun Yi. He took them from me secretly."
"Is he right?" Ge Yongming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sun Yi. "If you deny it, please cut a piece of lettuce for me to see."
Sun Yi met Ge Yongming's eyes and realized that he would be doomed today. If he denied it, he would be exposed in an instant even if he was asked to cut the lettuce. He nodded in annoyance and admitted: "He is right..."
"In this case, Ye Chui's behavior is not considered cheating!" Wang Haichun also spoke up at this time, "But Sun Yi's behavior has completely constituted cheating. According to the rules, he should be disqualified from the exam. Ye Chui, do you have any objection to my decision?"
Wang Haichun is asking Ye Chui for his opinion!
Not only did he not continue to hold Ye Chu responsible, he even asked for Ye Chui's opinion. Everyone at the scene could feel this change in attitude.
Sun Yi was quite smart, and hurriedly looked at Ye Chui, his eyes full of pleading. He thought that Ye Chui might have some important background, which was why Wang Haichun's attitude changed so drastically. If he could say a few good words for him, then maybe he wouldn't have to be disqualified...
However, Ye Chui shook his head. He had been kind-hearted in reminding Sun Yi and demonstrating to him, but Sun Yi had quietly stolen the ingredients he had cut. This was not something Ye Chui could forgive. Ye Chui said calmly, "I have no objection."
"Well, Sun Yi, you are disqualified from the exam!" Wang Haichun announced directly. He glanced at Ye Chui again and continued, "I just tasted Ye Chui's dry fried beef noodles. I think this dish is delicious, so I will re-score it. I will give him a perfect score!"
Wang Haichun's words once again caused an uproar in the examination room. Unexpectedly, not only did Wang Haichun's attitude change, but he even changed his score from zero to ten. Most importantly, Wang Haichun looked at Ye Chu with an expression that seemed to be trying to please him
Zhao Hongyu hadn't figured out what was going on yet, and hurried to Wang Haichun's front: "Uncle Wang, why... why did you give him ten points... Since he's been caught cheating, he should be disqualified..."
"Do I need you to teach me how to do this?!"
Wang Haichun interrupted Zhao Hongyu with a cold face, and he wanted to curse in his heart. He originally thought that Ye Chui was just an ordinary teenager, and it would be okay even if he made things difficult for him. More than half of the candidates who took the exam every year failed, so one more or one less would not be a problem. But who could have known that although Ye Chui was the youngest, his cooking was so delicious, and most importantly, he seemed to have a relationship with Old Han. How could he dare to offend such a person
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu came up to argue without understanding the situation, he wanted to slap Zhao Hongyu in the face.
Zhao Hongyu's expression froze, but his mind finally started to work. He looked at Ye Chui with more and more surprise. An Jing was his classmate, and he knew her family situation very well. But now Ye Chui had such great power
"What are you still doing here? Is this the examination room where you should stay?" Wang Haichun continued to yell at Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu came to his senses and hurriedly ran out of the examination room. Ye Chui looked at him running away, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Sun Yi was disqualified from the exam, and he packed up his things with a gloomy face. He looked at Ye Chui with envy and jealousy, and then left the examination room reluctantly.
Ye Chui felt a little sorry for what happened to Sun Yi, but that was all. He would not sympathize with him. He was disqualified only because he took shortcuts and made mistakes. In the following time, the three scoring teachers Ge Yongming, Wang Haichun and Fan Wenbin respectively filled in their names and scores on a scoring registration form and stamped it. With this score registration form, one can get a chef certificate at the certificate processing office of the Food Association.
During this time, Wang Haichun quietly said some nice things. Ye Chui smiled and didn't argue with him. Wang Haichun was against him because of Zhao Hongyu. Even if Ye Chui wanted to find someone to trouble, he should find Zhao Hongyu.
After thanking teachers Ge Yongming and Fan Wenbin, Ye Chui left with his things. Ge Yongming looked at Ye Chui's back, smacked his lips, and then looked at the cold stir-fried beef noodles on the side of the table. He couldn't help but picked up the bamboo chopsticks and started eating, and sighed: "This Ye Chui will definitely be a famous chef in the future!"
After registering at the certificate processing office with the score registration form, Ye Chui officially became a one-star chef. He had obtained the one-star chef certificate. Although it would take some time for the chef certificate to be issued, Ye Chui was now qualified to open a restaurant.
After coming out of the document processing office, Ye Chui was about to go back, but he met Sun Yi again at the door of the Food Association.
He was crying loudly...
