Filling out the information form is very simple, which is much simpler than applying for a company. You only need to fill in basic personal information such as name, gender, and contact number.

After Xie Qingfeng filled out these materials, he sat on the chair at the registration office and waited for less than 2 minutes. The previous contestant who entered came out was disappointed after the assessment.

It turns out that he knows that this young man named Lin Shun did not pass the assessment.

"Xie Qingfeng, now you go in for the assessment, and the next one comes to fill in the information." The man in glasses who was responsible for filling in the information in the registration office reached out to the assessment room behind him and signaled Xie Qingfeng to take the information card to enter the door.

"This is a competition for folk cooking masters. I think the selection threshold should not be very high. What will be the test?" Xie Qingfeng stood up and entered the assessment room with a little excitement that stimulated adrenaline secretion.

The space inside is not very large, about ten meters long and about eight meters wide, and is mainly divided into two areas: front and back.

The second half is the contestant's assessment area, with three stainless steel operating tables in total. The first one has many glass seasoning bottles, a large bucket of broth and some disposable paper cups.

Xie Qingfeng can't guess what these things are used to test for in a while!

The second one is set up as a red chopping board, with a trunk and a kitchen knife on it, and a vegetable stand with a lot of ingredients behind it, which is probably used to test the knife skills.

The last stainless steel operating table looks like the place to take the temperature test. It has a hot stove and a wok rack with handle, and an ear pot and fan fuel stove. There is also a secondary stove for seasonings in the middle.

The front half of the room was set up as an examiner's desk, with a staff member standing on each side with signs standing. Three were sitting behind the long table in the middle, and it seemed that middle-aged men and women were about 40 years old.

Two of the men had a relaxed expression and didn't look so serious. The woman was originally talking and laughing, but after seeing Xie Qingfeng's outfit with a very high resolution, her eyes suddenly changed several times.

The staff on the right saw Xie Qingfeng coming in and immediately walked over and said, "Copy your information to me, and then go to the assessment area to wait for a while."

"Okay!" Xie Qingfeng handed the information card to the staff and walked to the front where the words with the assessment area were pasted.

"Xie Qingfeng, a veteran, has no experience in working in a large hotel. Well, this meets our selection requirements." The fat examiner on the right took the staff and sent the information card, ticked it on the information card, and handed it to the second examiner.

"Xie Qingfeng, welcome to participate in this top chef audition registration assessment in Shashi."

The second thin examiner smiled and pointed to the assessment area on the right of Xie Qingfeng and said, "The taste, knife skills, and cooking skills are all around you, and you can choose the same one by yourself. As long as you can meet the basic requirements, you can pass this audition registration. Which one do you choose?"

"Choose one of three?" Xie Qingfeng thought to himself, thinking that his best is his taste ability, and replied: "I'll choose taste."

"If you choose, go there."

The thin examiner reached out to signal Xie Qingfeng to prepare for the first operation table, and then said: "I will tell you the requirements for the assessment. There are salt, sugar, white vinegar, and water on the examination table. I need you to use the stock in a large bucket and use a paper cup to make a sweet and a soup with just the right salt. The requirement is that you cannot smell it with your nose or taste it with your mouth."

"Hello examiner, can you only judge the seasonings through your eyes and hands?" Xie Qingfeng asked.

"Yes, that's right." The thin examiner nodded, "We have no restrictions on the identity of participants in this competition, and the assessment requirements are not high. However, if people who have really cooked dishes cannot even distinguish basic seasonings, it will not meet our requirements. The competition is not a cooking training class. I hope you can understand this."

"Okay, I understand, can I start now?" Xie Qingfeng asked.

"You only have 1 minute to start." The thin examiner picked up the stopwatch on the table and pressed it while finishing his words.

It seems very easy to bring out two servings of broth in one minute, and it is really easy for people who cook regularly.

But if it is a temporary player who makes up the numbers, it will probably be affected here.

Although cotton white sugar is also white sugar, it is different from white sugar and fine sugar. This is a kind of white sugar that is beaten into powder. From the color perspective, it is basically no different from salt.

The only difference is the weight, the moisture content in yarn sugar is very high, and its density is lower than that of table salt.

People who often cook have more seasonings. As long as the seasoning spoon is inserted into the seasoning, they can accurately distinguish the thickness of the salt, which is completely different from the light white sugar.

Those who rarely cook without this accumulated experience cannot tell the difference between the two.

In TV series and jokes, the use of sugar as salt or salt as sugar is not an exaggerated description, but a real thing.

If you go to the street to find someone who doesn’t cook, 90% of them will not be able to divide the broken sugar and salt.

The remaining water and white vinegar purely test the sensitivity of the nose. It is already the minimum requirement to accurately distinguish the two from one arm.

If you are a chef, your nose is so bad that every time you cook, you need to put your face into the pot.

Let’s not talk about whether this can make delicious dishes for customers based on the aroma of the dish. Even this action is unhygienic. When customers see it, they probably won’t even feel the mood to eat it.

Taste, smell, eyesight, hand work, plus talent and hard work are all the standards of a good chef.

"Top Chef" is the highest-end and most formal food competition in China. It mainly focuses on selecting the best top folk chefs from the ordinary people.

Only one or two of them were selected for the audition, and the contestants were allowed to choose by themselves. This threshold can be said to be very low.

Xie Qingfeng has a sense of taste and smell that is different from ordinary people. In addition, with more than eight years of cooking experience, the assessment requirements put forward by the examiner are naturally not difficult for him.

In less than half a minute, Xie Qingfeng accurately picked out two pieces of broth needed for the assessment and delivered it to the table in front of the thin examiner.

"Um?"

The thin examiner used disposable chopsticks and ordered two soups for Xing Feng to debug. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened and asked in surprise: "Xie Qingfeng, are you sure you have never done it in a hotel? I'm talking about a hotel above four-star level. I'll declare to you first. If you report your personal information in panic, once it is found out by the competition organizing committee, the consequences will be very serious."

"This is my discharge certificate."

Xie Qingfeng took out the retirement certificate he carried with him, opened it on the table in front of the examiner, and smiled faintly: "If you cook big pot dishes in the army, it can be considered a five-star hotel work experience. Do you think it is necessary to come here to sign up for the competition based on these nine years of work qualifications in the five-star hotel?"

"Uh..." The thin examiner was speechless when he was choked. He picked up his retirement certificate and saw the conspicuous line of words: Xie Qingfeng fulfilled his glorious obligation to defend the motherland, and was specially allowed to retire from active service, serve in the reserve service, and award the rank of fourth-level sergeant chief of the reserve service.

The discharge certificate, which was as red as blood, and with this solemn and majestic entry, made a solemn look appear from the heart of the thin examiner's eyes.

He stood up and held his retirement certificate with his hands in his hands and said with respect, "It is the hardest thing to be a soldier. It's not easy for 9 years. Thank you for your hard work. At the same time, I want to congratulate you on your approval. You have passed this audition registration. I wish you...

"etc!"
