Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: First Trial

Didn’t expect it to be so interesting.

This made everyone a little curious about Ye Fei.

It wasn’t because of her status as the wife of the Changping Group’s president.

But because of her husband, Zhao Gushen, the president of Changping Group, and her son; their style was quite unexpected.

After Zhao Gushen and others left, everyone turned back to look at Ye Fei curiously.

Ye Fei openly met everyone’s gaze, smiling and nodding.

At the moment, it was just a small scene, and Ye Fei wasn’t panicked at all.

At this time, the teacher for this class came in.

In Changping Academy, Ye Fei only knew Guo Wenbo and Ye Huasong among the teachers.

She was naturally unfamiliar with the current teacher.

The teacher who walked in was a slightly short, somewhat overweight middle-aged man.

His height was about 1.7 meters.

Although slightly overweight, he didn’t have the always cheerful look generally seen in chubby men.

Instead, his face was quite serious, with no sign of a smile.

This teacher naturally knew Ye Fei was auditing the class.

This class only had Ye Fei as an auditing student.

Changping Academy doesn’t accept many auditing students each year.

They usually maintain a state of one per class.

"I am Liu Zhengjin." Liu Zhengjin introduced himself and then said, "Today we have a new student in our class."

"According to school rules, new students must present a dish of their own." Liu Zhengjin said, "Everyone will evaluate each other and get an initial understanding of their culinary levels."

"When entering, all our class students have done this. Today is Ye Fei’s first day, and according to the rules, Ye Fei will prepare a dish in this class. The subject and cuisine type are unrestricted. Whether it’s a stir-fry, dessert, noodle dish, soup, or even a dish from another country, it’s all acceptable." Liu Zhengjin said.

Liu Zhengjin pointed to a wall on one side of the classroom: "There’s a freezer and a refrigerator over here, stocked with ingredients commonly used in class. Take whatever you need."

Today was mainly a test for Ye Fei, so there was no specific topic.

Usually, there is a specific dish for each lesson.

The refrigerator and freezer contained ingredients needed for the day’s lesson.

Enough for the class to use, so there was no need to set up a dedicated ingredient storage room in the classroom.

The self-study room had the most abundant ingredients.

Apart from students registering for some special ingredients, everything else was enriched to meet everyone’s practice needs.

Of course, sometimes things don’t go perfectly; after all, everything is human-planned, and not all can be comprehensive.

Hence, there was a requirement for students to pre-register needed ingredients.

"Is there a set time, or is it for the whole class?" Ye Fei asked.

Their class times differed from normal classes.

After all, a dish usually takes an hour from chopping to cooking.

In a regular 45-minute class, after the teacher’s explanation, there wouldn’t be much time left for chopping, let alone a class.

Therefore, a session at Changping Academy typically lasts an hour and a half.

However, it varies with the course schedule.

Some sessions last two hours based on the timetable.

Today’s class was an hour and a half.

"We’ll follow the Changping Competition’s standard, with one hour as the benchmark." Liu Zhengjin said, "The remaining half an hour is for everyone to taste and give their opinions."

Everyone felt a bit sympathetic towards Ye Fei, but also had a bit of a watching-a-show attitude.

When they all entered initially and prepared their entry dishes together, everyone was too busy to pay attention to others, which was manageable.

But now, so many were watching Ye Fei cook.

If there were any flaws, some might not resist voicing criticism.

This, in turn, affected performance even more.

It’s like a cycle; the worse the performance, the more criticism there is, leading to even worse performance.

Going round in circles like this, isn’t it getting worse?

"Shall we start now?" Ye Fei asked again.

As class had begun, Liu Zhengjin nodded: "Let’s start now."

Ye Fei wasn’t in a hurry, she first took a look around the freezer.

Seeing what ingredients were there, she planned to cook based on available ingredients.

Seeing the freezer, Ye Fei thought to herself that it was indeed Changping Academy, standing out among the rest, being the best culinary school in Hua Country, and one of the world’s top four culinary academies.

These ingredients alone were not even common in typical culinary schools, and not even necessarily in regular restaurants.

These were just ingredients for a simple cooking class.

Ye Fei couldn’t wait to go to the self-study room to see what kind of ingredients were in their storage room.

Ye Fei was impressed simply because she even found Jinhua ham here.

In recent film and TV dramas or people’s displays, Spanish ham and Italian Parma ham are often featured.

However, few know that our country’s Jinhua ham ranks with them as one of the world’s top three hams, no less renowned than those famous foreign hams.

Jinhua ham is made from the "Two Black" pig breed.

This breed is scarce, with a white middle and black ends, hence the name "Two Black," also known as "Panda Pig."

Such pigs are free-range, unlike regular farming methods.

It’s selected from hind legs with thin skin and fine bones.

Ye Fei was very pleasantly surprised to find such a strict ham in a regular class.

This place seemed to have more than what culinary competitions offer.

Perhaps it was because of the hams.

On the tool rack, there was even a machete.

Ye Fei didn’t rush to pick other ingredients.

Having taken a look, she had a good idea of what’s available.

Since there weren’t limits on usage, Ye Fei took her time selecting each item.

She first brought the ham and machete.

Everyone noticed that she was setting up in such a big way right away.

This ham was high-quality; due to its excellent ingredients coupled with complicated production processes and long time investment.

This ham wasn’t cheap.

Such ingredients would taste good no matter how they’re prepared.

Was Ye Fei trying to take a shortcut?

Liu Zhengjin kept a close eye on Ye Fei’s actions.

Seeing her choosing ham right away, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

It wasn’t that he was worried about the cost of the ham.

He simply believed that since she’s here to learn, she should strive to use the most common and simple ingredients to create the best possible flavor.

Can one use such expensive ingredients for every dish in regular restaurant preparations?

If that’s the case, the restaurant’s positioning and pricing would have to rise.

If everyone did this, the rich could afford it, but wouldn’t the average person be left out?

Liu Zhengjin was always very averse to such behavior that unknowingly excludes ordinary customers.
