Chapter 1793: The chef Yuan Biao

Translator: 549690339 

Lee Yanyi went to master chef Restaurant early in the morning. It was really early in the morning. As the breakfast time hadn’t started yet, Yuan Zhou hadn’t even prepared the ingredients. He had just finished his morning run when he saw the energetic Lee Yanyi and was a little surprised.

At this time, the sky wasn’t even bright yet. If Yuan Zhou didn’t have sharp eyes, he really wouldn’t have been able to tell that it was Lee Yanyi who was walking towards him.

“Mr. Li, you’re so early?” Yuan Zhou found something strange and asked,””Mr. Li, what’s the matter with the wound on your face?”

That’s right. When he looked closer, Lee Yanyi’s face was full of bruises, as if he had just had a fight with someone.

“Ahem.” “That’s not important,” Lee Yanyi said.”What’s important is the big matter I’m going to talk about next. It’s related to you, head chef Yuan.”

“Big news about me?” Yuan Zhou didn’t doubt Lee Yanyi’s words, because this food critic only had a sharp tongue, but he had never revealed any false news. However, Yuan Zhou was quite confused about the recent big news.

“Boss Yuan, do you have time now?” After saying that, Lee Yanyi reacted first and then said,”Oh, I see. Let’s talk about it after breakfast. Boss Yuan, you can go and prepare the breakfast first.”

He didn’t finish his words and didn’t have a wife in the future. This situation made Yuan Zhou feel awkward. However, breakfast was indeed important. Therefore, Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant, washed up, changed his clothes, and prepared breakfast. Today’s breakfast was thin bean flour, a snack from Dian province. It was very famous in Dian province and could be eaten as a summer snack or breakfast. However, it wasn’t so famous outside of Dian province.

There was a reason why he suddenly made the thin bean flour today. Yuan Zhou had a dream last night. He dreamed that he went to Dian province for a trip and ate a bowl of thin bean flour. Then, he bought the lottery and won the top prize. The 300 million bonus was all his.

There was an old saying,”dreams are the opposite.” Therefore, in the dream, Yuan Zhou drank the thin bean flour and got 300 million Yuan. In reality, the customer drank the thin bean flour and then Yuan Zhou got 300 million Yuan. Well, it should be understood this way.

After breakfast, Lee Yanyi came again. But this time, he went straight to the point,””Head chef Yuan, you should know about the International rankings of chefs, right?”

“Mr. Li, are you talking about the grading system? are you talking about the National Professional Qualification certificate issued by the International Labor Security Bureau?” Yuan Zhou asked.

Lee Yanyi nodded his head. He was talking about that.

“If I remember correctly, there are four types of five levels in a chef’s certificate: Chinese cooked Wheaten master, Chinese chef, Western cooked Wheaten master, Western chef. Junior Chef, intermediate chef, advanced chef, technician, and advanced technician. ” Yuan Zhou said.

Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou wasn’t even a master a year ago, let alone an Advanced Master. The requirement for the assessment of a master was to be above 30 years old, and the requirement for an Advanced Master was to be above 32 years old. Yuan Zhou’s age didn’t meet the requirement.

However, in the Asia-Pacific cultural exchange, Yuan Zhou had completed the food culture exchange as a head chef. It was ridiculous that a head chef wasn’t even a master. Therefore, with the special permission of the state and the recommendation of the chef’s Association, Yuan Zhou was directly issued a special Senior Master Chef certificate.

“That’s right, it’s complete. However, the grading system for this chef’s certificate has to be changed. Head chef Yuan, do you know about this?” This was the major event that Lee Yanyi mentioned.

However, this matter was related to him. Yuan Zhou guessed,””I know a little. I heard Chairman Zhou mention that I’ll have to take another test for my chef’s certificate after the grading is re-done?”

If it was true, Yuan Zhou would really take the time to take the test. He didn’t need the chef’s certificate or anything like that. To be honest, with Yuan Zhou’s current fame, what was the difference between having a chef’s certificate or not? However, if the chairman of the China famous chef Association was a senior chef, it would be a blow to the official credibility. Yuan Zhou wouldn’t let such a thing happen.

“No. It seems that head chef Yuan has not heard of the new grading system.” Lee Yanyi took out his mobile phone and opened one of the saved documents: “Anyway, it will be announced after the new year. More and more chefs will know about it. So, it doesn’t matter if I tell head chef Yuan now.”

The document was a form.

Level 6 of the four types of cheese were Level 3 chef, Level 2 chef, Level 1 chef, technician, chef Yuan Biao, and senior technician.

[Requirements for the examination of level three chef: I. Have reached the standard learning hours through the primary formal training of the profession and obtained the graduation certificate.] (2) have worked in the profession for two years or more. (3) the term’s apprenticeship is up. Satisfy any one of the three conditions above.

……]

The original five levels had been changed to six levels. In fact, it was basically just a change in the name. The requirements and standards of the examination were basically only changed slightly. The only big change was the addition of Yuan Biao. If it was the original standard, it would mean ‘real’. But Yuan Biao … Yuan Zhou had heard of this term before from Yu Chu.

[Chef Yuan Biao: I. After obtaining the professional qualification certificate of this profession, you have worked in this profession for more than 3 years, reached the standard learning hours through the formal professional training of the senior technician of this profession, and obtained the graduation (completion) certificate.] (2) after obtaining the qualification certificate of a technician of your profession, you must have worked in your profession for more than six years. Satisfy any one of the above two conditions.]

Judging from the requirements of the examination, it was quite normal. However, chef Yuan Biao was very strange … Yuan Zhou looked at Lee Yanyi, hoping to get an answer from him.

“It’s just as you thought, head chef Yuan. This chef Yuan Biao’s standard is your basic standard.” Lee Yanyi said.

If the person who told him the news wasn’t Lee Yanyi, Yuan Zhou would definitely not believe a word of it. This was the test for the chef’s certificate, the National Employment qualification certificate!

“Actually, I feel that Yuan Biao, who is also head chef Yuan, should also be ranked above the senior technician level. However, if we use Yuan Biao as the highest level, it will attract too much hatred for you. Therefore, we lowered it to your basic level and placed it second to last.” “How is it? is it a big news?” Lee Yanyi asked.

In fact, Yuan Zhou really wanted to say that even the second from the bottom would attract hatred. To be honest, if Yuan Zhou didn’t make the headlines, who would?

“Yes, it’s so big that I can’t believe it.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“I was also very confused when I heard the news. Chairman Zhou said that even he didn’t know what was going on.” “It’s from the government,”Lee Yanyi said.

Although Zhou Shijie was the chairman of the chef’s Association, he really couldn’t make a decision regarding the National Employment certificate.

“Actually, I think so. The country is getting stronger and stronger. Cultural export is very important, and food culture is also a very important part.” Lee Yanyi said,”I have to say that head chef Yuan is the chairman of the China famous chef Alliance. You are also the most famous Chinese chef in the whole of Asia. Whether it’s the individual exhibition or the Asia-Pacific cultural exchange, you have shocked the world with your Chinese dishes.”

“In other words, the government wants to make you a business card of China’s food culture to the outside world. Therefore, the entire government, chef Yuan Biao, is the government, is backing you up.” Lee Yanyi said.
