The most basic thing is chopping the pier, also called chopping board, which specializes in fencing, because both cold and hot dishes need basic skills, at least one year. Of course, unless your master is willing to teach you, it may be ahead of time, and then you choose. Learning cold dishes is very simple. If you have a master to teach you, you will learn it in almost another year, but according to your personal understanding, hot dishes are different. Specially prepare things for the chef, and usually clean up the excess oil stains on the side of the plate. Of course, the most important thing is to "see" the amount of cooking used by the chef, the skill of tossing a spoonful, and the usage of various seasonings. At this time, you need to come to the meeting, help the chef more, don't be afraid of being tired, and you'd better meet a lazy master, because lazy little jobs are reserved for you, so you should seize the opportunity. If you succeed once, you may start later. Slowly, you will grow into a deputy. By this time, you have actually learned. It takes a year to be quick and almost two years to be stupid. Later, you accumulated. When the opportunity comes, you feel that you have no chance to quit! Believe that you can be independent!
Also, don't abandon the long study time, don't give up halfway, choose to keep going, otherwise you will waste time, and you will gain something when you study. This is a growing profession.
