Life is a Game

Jiang Feng especially wanted to say to Zhang Guanghang at this time: "You are already a mature contestant, so let's show you how to quit the group!"

The desire to survive made him hold back.

"Are you short of money?" Zhang Guanghang was a little surprised.

"Because of some special reasons, there is a shortage of decoration expenses." Jiang Feng said, their family is definitely not short of money, and they don't need any uncles to help them. Selling the facade of the healthy cooking restaurant, clenching their teeth and scraping together a thousand or so can still be done. It can be worked out, and there is no problem at all in reopening Taifeng Building.

However, the operation during the reopening, the signage and management of the back kitchen and lobby staff are full of problems.

The first issue that bears the brunt is the renovation fee. If the old man doesn't nod his head, no one will be able to reopen Taifeng Building.

The air was suddenly quiet.

"Do you need me to borrow it from you?" Zhang Guanghang asked, "I have a trust, although it is not much, it should be enough for decoration expenses."

Jiang Feng felt that among the people he knew, apart from Ji Yue and Ji Xue, he himself was the poorest.

After politely rejecting Zhang Guanghang, Jiang Feng quickly changed the subject and started asking him about Xia Mu. Strange to say, when Jiang Feng checked Zhang Guanghang's information on the Internet some time ago, all the information was complete, except for his master Xia Mu, who couldn't even find out his name, so he said he was a famous chef in Peking.

"My master is a person with a very weird temper. He is rarely happy, never gives anyone a good face, always speaks very meanly, and offended many people, just because he is old, senior, and good at cooking. , has a bad temper, and no one dares to offend him face to face, he..." Zhang Guanghang slowly said what he knew about Xia Mu.

Xia Mu is not only Chen Qiusheng's apprentice, but also his adopted son, whom Chen Qiusheng bought from a trafficker.

Chen Qiusheng is Xia Mu's master, his benefactor, and his father, and Taifeng Tower is his ideal, his obsession, and even more his home.

Before the fall of Peiping, many people got the news and fled south early. Chen Qiusheng did not leave Peiping because his only son was weak and sick, so he entrusted Xia Mu, who was in his early twenties, to a friend who would take care of him on the road. But what Chen Qiusheng entrusted was not a person, the friend he entrusted took all the money and ran away on the road, and Xia Mu became a beggar.

All his life, he has been a beggar, a bandit, a soldier, and a war.

His hands have held a kitchen knife, a big knife, and a gun.

He has no wife or children, no friends, only Zhang Guanghang, a personal disciple.

He has learned the true story of Chen Qiusheng, has a weird temper, loves money as much as his life, is a famous chef in Beiping, and is not highly respected, and has been criticized by many people in private.

Now, this old man whose life was like a legend is terminally ill and will die soon.

"The doctor said that he is hanging on his breath now, and when the breath stops, he will be almost dead."

"I wanted to let him see the opening of Taifeng Building before he left. It was just a coincidence that I signed up for this culinary competition, because the competition after the top 32 was in City A. I signed up. I came here to find Mr. Li. I didn't expect to see you on the contestant's profile." Zhang Guanghang said.

"So, please."

Jiang Feng could understand Zhang Guanghang's mood. After all, there were two old people in his family who were deeply obsessed with Taifeng Building. It's just that money matters don't just work hard.

"I... work hard." Jiang Feng thought, and went back to discuss with the old man to raise some money for Xia Mu and everyone to crowdfund the business.

After chatting for a few more words, the staff came to inform the contestants to gather.

There were only six players, and the players who didn't know were talking about what happened and how two people were missing.

"All contestants, please be quiet. In this match, contestant Ji Xue from the fourth group withdrew due to family problems, so contestant Wu Minqi will advance directly. I believe everyone is clear about the rules so there is no need to repeat them."

"When the game comes later, we will broadcast the time every five minutes. There is a rest area on the court. You can just sit there and watch when other people are playing. And this time our jury will comment on the spot. It will start in half an hour, if there are no problems, you can go to the front desk to familiarize yourself with the venue now, and if you are not satisfied with the kitchen utensils, you can replace them on the spot."

No one objected. Jiang Feng noticed that Zhang Qian was wearing a very pink and girly outfit today.

"Are you ready to lose?" Jiang Feng joked.

"Get ready, when I lose the game, my dad and I will celebrate my mom's birthday. My dad took time off work tonight and will cook a big meal for my mom when I get home." Zhang Qian looked excited .

Other contestants: ? ? ?

This time, the proportion of young women in the auditorium was significantly higher. Jiang Feng even heard a small exclamation when Zhang Guanghang came on stage. Sitting in the fourth row, Ji Yue was among a group of young girls, wearing round-frame glasses, staring at Zhang Guanghang intently, her face was full of words that I was going to marry this person now.

The members of the Jiang family sat in the second row, and they were still the most prominent row of strong men in the crowd. Everyone's face was full of calmness and calmness.

Jiang Zaide regained his vigor after changing from his previous slump. He analyzed all the residential areas around Taifeng Building in the past few days, and finally delineated a high-end residential area with convenient transportation, sound facilities, high green area, and guaranteed security. After checking the house price, looking at the savings, and calculating the average annual salary of these years, Jiang Zaide rekindled his fighting spirit and decided to work hard to stop losing his hair, and try to buy the house he was looking for in full within five years. .

He took two orders in one go, ready to push himself to death.

"Brother, come on!" Jiang Feng's loyal support team, sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian, shouted from their seats.

At eight o'clock, the game starts on time.

Zhang Guanghang and Zhao Shan walked to their respective cooking stations. The screen at the back was cut into two pieces. The image was large and clear, and everyone could clearly see the movements of their hands.

Wash the prawns, trim their beards, and pick the prawn threads.

It can be said that Zhao Shan is not as good as Zhang Guanghang in terms of technique, speed, proficiency, appearance, height and popularity.

This is a game that can see the end from the beginning.

The fresh shrimp is overcooked and oily.

"That's right, they have a good grasp of the heat and timing." Pei Shenghua, who was the most talkative among the judges, boasted.

Leave a little in the pot, put minced ginger, garlic and tomato sauce, and pour in the prawns.

"Zhao Shan didn't press the shrimp head." Pei Shenghua said again.

"Press the shrimp head?" Han Guishan, who couldn't understand anything, was at a loss.

"Pressing the shrimp head can make the shrimp yellow flow out." Pei Shenghua explained.

"The prawns in tomato sauce in their store are really good looking." Tong Deyan snorted coldly.

"It's all like this. The fried double crisp in our store is also a good one." Pei Shenghua said, "Customers like it."

"Zhang Guanghang has learned Cantonese cuisine? The eggplant and prawns he cooks are very authentic!" Zhu Chang saw the way.

"He visited Sun Maocai in Hong Kong City two years ago, so he should have learned a few tricks. Zhao Shan will probably lose badly if he chooses this dish." Tong Deyan said that his relationship with Babaozhai is not very good.

"Zhao Shan picked it?" Pei Shenghua said with a smile, "I'm so clever."

During the conversation, the two prawns in tomato sauce were out of the pan.
