Life is a Game

Even Zhang Guanghang, the only one among the four who actually came to see the exhibition, ended the battle within an hour and a half.

When the four of them left the art gallery, Jiang Feng glanced at his watch. It was only 4:21, 39 minutes earlier than the scheduled end time. Is he going to call back to discuss with Comrade Jiang Jiankang, and for the sake of his own son, move their fried rice forward?

This group of them is relatively thin and does not take up space.

Jiang Feng took out his cell phone.

Wu Minqi and Ji Yue led them into a beautifully decorated dessert shop near the art museum.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

Dessert shop? ? ?

The two walked into the store with ease and found a table for 4 against the wall. The lighting was soft and the angle was just right.

"Would you like something to eat? Their black forest cake, yellow peach egg tart, and original pudding are all very good. For drinks, I recommend sparkling water." Ji Yue began to recommend desserts to Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang.

"I think their sugar-free latte is not bad." Wu Minqi said.

"A latte without sugar has no soul." Ji Yue objected.

"Coffee with added sugar has no soul." Wu Minqi said that she also has her own persistence.

“The latte is different too!”

“Coffee all the same!”

Jiang Feng \u0026 Zhang Guanghang: ...

"I want a sugar-free latte," Jiang Feng said.

"I want a latte with half sugar." Zhang Guanghang said.

Wu Minqi and Ji Yue suddenly turned back into good sisters holding hands, eating desserts and gaining weight together.

Compared with the deserted art gallery, the business of this dessert shop is much better. Although he didn't know why such a large and well-decorated dessert shop opened next to the art gallery, after Jiang Feng tasted the Black Forest cake Wu Minqi ordered, he immediately understood why the two of them made a special trip here to eat desserts.

The taste is really good, small and exquisite, not to mention that it is suitable for taking pictures, and the combination of cream and cake is also just right, soft in the mouth, full of chocolate flavor, and the taste is like half-melted cotton candy. It felt that as long as the tongue was slightly raised and hit the teeth, the cake and cream on the tongue would melt together, but it was actually quite elastic. This was what Jiang Feng discovered when he took the second bite. When he tasted the first bite, he couldn't hold back the cake for a moment, and it slid down the base of his tongue into his throat and flowed to his stomach. As the son of Comrade Jiang Jiankang, who is addicted to sweetness, Jiang Feng's hidden attribute is that he will occasionally eat something that doesn't suit his fierce man Small desserts.

This dessert shop can be arranged!

Jiang Feng secretly remembered the name of the store.

Next time, if Qiqi wants to eat dessert, don't bother Ji Yue to accompany her. He is Qiqi's boyfriend, and this difficult task should be handed over to him.

At 4:56, the four of them left the dessert shop after finishing their desserts, and set off for the subway station to take the subway home. Wu Minqi's original itinerary plan was perfectly implemented.

For today's art museum itinerary, Zhang Guanghang deliberately did not drive to work in the morning, but took the subway. This also meant that he would have to take the subway home after eating pickled vegetables and fried rice, but even though it was so troublesome, it didn't change His determination to eat fried rice with pickled vegetables.

After trying it once, no one can resist the charm of fried rice with pickled vegetables.

Not to mention that what Jiang Jiankang is going to do tonight is sea, land and air fried rice with pickled vegetables. This is widely recognized as the best fried rice with pickled vegetables that Jiang Jiankang has made so far.

It took more than an hour on the subway, which was a fixed time for chatting.

Jiang Feng, Ji Yue, and Wu Minqi were chatting about several popular summer dramas, and Zhang Guanghang stood next to them, pretending to understand what they were saying, but couldn't get in a word.

As a veritable old Zhang whose impression of domestic dramas is still 10 years ago, he can no longer keep up with the trend of this era.

While chatting, Jiang Feng suddenly thought of a serious question.

"Will Ji Xue come to have dinner with us tonight?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Axue? She said that she can just cook the noodles at home. Her stomach is not very good. During this period of time, eating fried rice every day made her stomach ache. She has to eat some pasta for two days." Ji Yue said, suddenly also One thing came to mind, "Is your kitchen going to be openly recruited in early September?"

"Open recruitment?" The three people belonging to the back kitchen said in unison.

"You don't know? Didn't Aunt Wang tell you?" Ji Yue was a little surprised.

Jiang Feng wondered how my mother would tell me if something happened. Back then, she and my father bought a storefront near University A with every inch of land and gold, without saying a single word to me about such a big deal.

"Why is there a public recruitment all of a sudden, and your lobby has laid off staff?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes." Ji Yue nodded, "Sister Fang and Aunt Wang are going to lay off all the employees who have not become full-time employees this month."

"How many?" Wu Minqi was a little curious.

"About ten, the number is still quite a lot. They are all lack of work ability or have made mistakes in work. The person who answered the phone before is also on the list." Ji Yue said.

"Why are there so many layoffs all of a sudden?" Zhang Guanghang knows a little more about restaurant management than Jiang Feng, "Is something wrong? Insufficient funds?"

Based on the daily turnover of Taifeng Building, it doesn't look like it will be in deficit. If Taifeng Building is losing money, then Babaozhai will probably go bankrupt long ago and have to sell land to pay off its debts.

"I also find it very strange, because at the beginning Aunt Wang said that those who failed the probationary period in the first month can stay for a month and then observe. Now it suddenly becomes so strict, and I don't know the specific reason But I heard that Fangjie is persuading her colleagues from the restaurant where she worked in Shanghai to quit and come to our place. Since Fangjie personally came forward to poach people, something must happen. And I heard from sisters in other restaurants, Many old restaurants in Beiping are contacting the decoration company to redecorate, and everyone has made a lot of moves recently." Ji Yue analyzed clearly.

Hearing what Ji Yue said, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered something that he didn't care about before. Two days ago, Ling Guangzhao personally poached a well-known chef from other places to return to Babaozhai. Everyone is used to Ling Guangzhao poaching people twice in three days, and his poaching often ends in failure.

The reason why Ling Guangzhao's poaching behavior caught Jiang Feng's attention this time is because this time he took a special plane to meet the chef in person, and it was rumored that he offered a high price that did not meet the market conditions, so this time It is so easy to pry the corner of the wall.

Ling Guangzhao suddenly recruited chefs at a high price. Many old restaurants in Beiping were preparing to renovate at the same time.

With this series of events, an idiom suddenly appeared in Jiang Feng's mind.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

Is it possible that something major will happen to the catering industry in Peking?

This is the rhythm of war.

Could it be that after the opening of Taifeng Building, the business has become more and more prosperous, so that the former Five Emperors - Babaozhai, Tongdeju, Yongheju, Ruyifang and Shunhelou became vigilant, and wanted to act first to end the six In a situation where the emperor is fighting for hegemony, one family dominates and dominates the catering industry in Beiping, completing what the predecessors called a completed business.

Or Ling Guangzhao has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all these years, under the sign of digging around, but actually recruiting and discovering talents everywhere. This time, the chef he dug out was the legendary unborn Chinese master chef. The other restaurants, aware of Ling Guangzhao's conspiracy, united and decided to fight against the evil force Babaozhai.

In just a few tens of seconds, Jiang Feng thought of a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more bizarre he became. He even added various special effects for fighting in his mind.

Come out, super...

cough cough.

Jiang Feng said that it was all because he read too many comics in Secondary School when he was a child.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Zhang Guanghang. He was always well-informed, and he would be absolutely clear about any major events in the culinary world.

During this period of time, Zhang Guanghang was busy with dating and didn't care about other things: ...

"I don't know either." Zhang Guanghang said, "I haven't heard of any major events happening recently."

"You don't know? I thought you would know something. Forget it, I'll ask my sisters in Babaozhai." Ji Yue took out her phone.

The way Jiang Feng looked at Ji Yue suddenly changed.

"You still have sisters from Babaozhai?"

Ji Gezi, your thinking is very dangerous now, I suspect that you are supporting the enemy.

"That's right, I'm very familiar with the foreman at Babaozhai. Your chef has a group of cooks, and our foreman also has a group of foremen. The foreman at Babaozhai and I like each other in the circle of friends every day." Ji Yue She said that although she has no money now, she has many friends.

"Although the food at Babaozhai doesn't taste very good, their service management at Babaozhai is really good. I think that when Babaozhai closes down one day, we can recruit the foreman from Babaozhai." Ji Yue said, "She graduated from the Hotel Management School of Lausanne, Switzerland."

Jiang Feng: (?????)

Ling Guangzhao, I didn't expect that, you poach other people's corners every day, and now your corner is also being missed.

"Do it well." Jiang Feng patted Ji Yue's shoulder, "I'll discuss with my mother about raising your salary if I find it."
