Life is a Game

Regarding how to welcome Sun Jikai, let him feel the warmth of the society, and experience the most direct experience of Taifeng Building's care for its employees, Jiang Feng discussed a lot with Ji Yue and the others in the past few days.

Ji Yue felt that there was nothing that a barbecue couldn't solve. As soon as Sun Jikai got off the plane and put his luggage away, everyone went straight to the barbecue booth. After two glasses of beer, Sun Jikai would become the most authentic self.

Jiang Feng didn't think so.

Ji Xia thinks that everyone can treat Sun Jikai to a big meal, including roast duck, pig's trotters, braised pork, and lamb chops, plus various desserts such as chocolate ice cream and iced cola, and Sun Jikai's worries will be relieved.

Jiang Feng felt that Ji Xia must have eaten junk food again.

Wu Minqi thought that Sun Jikai's Fried Niuhe could be priced at the same price as Ji Xue.

Wang Xiulian didn't think so.

Zhang Guanghang thinks that everyone can go to the concert together to cultivate their sentiments and relax their bodies and minds.

Including Ji Yue, everyone thought it was impossible.

After several days of intense discussion, Jiang Feng finally persuaded Wang Xiulian to drop 4 yuan for Ji Xue's fried beef and raise 4 yuan for Sun Jikai's, making Sun Jikai's fried beef reach the same level as Ji Xue's unprecedentedly— - The three newcomers this time are all pure Cantonese chefs. If Qiu Fu is willing to make fried beef, Jiang Feng thinks that Sun Jikai and Ji Xue's fried beef can be offline.

In addition to this insignificant preparation, the Jiang family also made some very useful preparations.

For example, the five social insurances and one housing fund, food and housing included in the promise, Jiang Jiandang contacted the housing agency and rented out the two-bedroom apartments on the 19th, 18th and 16th floors of the same building that met the standards of the staff dormitory. The one with the best lighting and decoration is for Sun Maocai, and Sun Jikai and Qiu Fu let them choose which one they want to live in.

Considering that Sun Jikai had just gone through a brutal battle for inheritance and had nothing to lose, Jiang Jianshe thoughtfully prepared all the things he might need in life. Needless to say, toothbrushes, towels, detergent, and laundry detergent, he even bought hundreds of rolls of garbage bags and put them in the cabinet. He just didn't know if Sun Jikai would be able to use up these garbage bags in his lifetime.

The interview was scheduled for August 2nd, and the three of Sun Maocai rushed to the evening of August 1st one day earlier in order not to delay the time. The plane landed at 10 o'clock, and Jiang Feng, a young pick-up expert, was still picking up the plane.

In order to highlight the importance that Taifeng Building attaches to Sun Maocai, not only Jiang Feng, a skilled worker, but also Zhang Guanghang, the face of Taifeng Building, were sent to pick up the plane. Because of Zhang Guanghang, the first time Jiang Feng took the opportunity was not to take the subway, but to run with Zhang Guanghang, and he finally had a bit of a capitalist's card.

"Old Zhang, do you know what date the room manager and the others have set for the summer feast?" Jiang Feng asked while sitting in the passenger seat, looking at his phone to reconfirm the flight of Sun Maocai and the others.

"Orchid said they have to wait for the results of the dish test tomorrow before they can make a decision, but the invitation letter has already been prepared, and the date can be fixed when the menu comes out. It should be next week at the earliest. There is no need to rush this kind of thing." Zhang Guanghang focused on looking at the road .

In May, the restaurant on the top floor relied on the lucky draw of the chef's set menu to grab many high-quality customers from Taifeng Building, which made the business of Taifeng Building sluggish for a while until now. Liang Zi has already formed a knot, since it is necessary to fight back, it is natural to use its own way to deal with its own body, so Fang Mei proposed that Taifeng Building can inherit the name of Sun Maocai, and invite those who have lost and never gained Premium patrons of the top-floor restaurant eat a midsummer feast.

The name is easy to find. Let’s say Sun Maocai, the new top Cantonese chef in Taifeng Restaurant, has launched a new menu. Gu Te invited some diners to taste the new menu and give their opinions. When this kind of invitation is sent out, Jiang Feng believes that most of the guests will not refuse.

The name Fang Mei has been chosen, so the banquet in August will naturally be called Midsummer Banquet.

Jiang Feng was sending a message to Ji Yue. Although Ji Yue's proposal to invite Sun Jikai to barbecue was rejected by Jiang Feng, she still felt that only barbecue could soothe Sun Jikai's wounded heart these days. So she still didn't give up and asked Jiang Feng to ask Sun Jikai if he wanted to eat barbecue when he picked up the plane. Anyway, he was about to get off work now, so if she wanted to, she would treat everyone to a barbecue downstairs. holiday.

Jiang Feng replied "yes" to Ji Yue.

After replying to the message, Jiang Feng remembered that Zhang Guanghang seemed to have learned the craft from Sun Maocai, and he should be quite familiar with Sun Maocai.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, I remember you said that you had learned a few dishes from Master Sun Maocai, so you should be familiar with him," Jiang Feng said.

Zhang Guanghang was still concentrating on watching the road, without turning his head: "I have a friendship, and if I say I learned cooking, I have been taught by him for a few days. If I say I am familiar with it, I am not very familiar with it."

"You made a special trip to Hong Kong City to ask him for advice?" Jiang Feng was a little curious.

"No, I met them when I participated in the cooking competition." Zhang Guanghang said, "Actually, if we really want to talk about it, Master Sun and Chef Arnold should be quite familiar with each other."

"Ah?" Jiang Feng was startled.

Zhang Guanghang began to explain to Jiang Feng.

Because culinary art competitions are rarely held in China, it is recognized by the culinary industry that the home of more valuable culinary art competitions is abroad. Most of the domestic culinary competitions are corporate in nature, and most of them are local. The previous Good Taste Cooking Competition has extended the competition area to the whole country. The Good Taste Cooking Competition became the chef selection competition of Taifeng Building.

Because of the different cooking methods, domestic chefs rarely participate in foreign culinary competitions. Sun Maocai is alone.

It can't be said that he likes it. Sun Maocai doesn't participate in the competition frequently, once or twice a year. The competition is also for the purpose of exchanging ideas with other chefs, and the desire to win is not strong. But after all, his strength and ranking in the celebrity chef list are there. Even if he participates casually, he can achieve good results, either first or second. If Chef Arnold participated, he would be number one, and if Chef Arnold didn't participate, he would be second. The two could always meet once a year in cooking competitions, so Zhang Guanghang felt that they should have some kind of friendship, even though it probably wasn't a good one.

Having said that, Zhang Guanghang also specifically mentioned Chef Arnold's hobbies that are not worth mentioning as the villain's big boss-abusing food.

Chef Arnold, as a well-known chef in the United States who once shined on reality shows with his mean mouth and viciousness, his biggest hobby is to abuse food, and the way he abuses food is to participate in cooking competitions. Other celebrity chefs of his level participate in cooking competitions for the sake of the organizers, but he only participates because of his love, and even some cooking competitions where he should sit on the judging table, as long as he wants to, it happens to be When he is free, for example, when the old boss has just been fired and a new boss has not been found, he insists on becoming a player.

After defeating his opponent, Chef Arnold did not take an unusual path. He not only discouraged him, but also taunted his opponent. Say something that you can't practice for another ten years, you can be called a genius like you, and the young people nowadays are really not as good as the next generation. This kind of standard villain-style words.

Why did Zhang Guanghang remember it so clearly? Because these words were what Chef Arnold said to him when he participated in the cooking competition.

Yes, a genius like Zhang Guanghang was beaten badly by Chef Arnold back then.

Jiang Feng after listening: ...

How to put it, he suddenly felt that the last time he met Chef Arnold in the vegetable market, it was not so difficult to understand that he suddenly made fun of himself.

After all, this is people's hobby.

Chef Arnold's hobby is to abuse food and ridicule others.

"Old Zhang, do you think that if we snatch all the guests from the restaurant on the top floor, will Chef Arnold jump in anger?" Jiang Feng made a bold guess.

"That's not true. Chef Arnold should try to win the guests back, and then taunt him severely." Zhang Guanghang said, "He is a very principled person. He admires those who are stronger than himself, but he can't see clearly. Weakened by oneself."

"Then who does he admire?"

Zhang Guanghang thought for a while: "Maybe only Master Peng."

"After all, he said more than once that there is a problem with the ranking of famous chefs. He should be ranked second. I remember he said before that Master Black, who ranked second, ranked second entirely because of his age." Zhang Guanghang was a little helpless. Authentic, "Master Black has been sitting in a wheelchair for three or four years at the age of 96."

"In fact, many people think this is the case, but Chef Arnold is the only one who said this in public."

Jiang Feng: ...

"Old Zhang, after you park the car, I'll pick him up. You can send me your location when the time comes so I can't find a parking space." Jiang Feng decisively changed the subject.

What is the villain Chef Arnold doing at this moment?

He and Roland were impatiently having a video conference with the bullshit boss in his heart who couldn't do anything but pay a lot of money.

Chef Arnold is already wandering, and the boss on the tablet is still talking about the future strategic plan of the restaurant on the top floor.

"According to our big data analysis, the top-level restaurants have now completed the first phase of their goals. Next, we need to shift our focus. In addition to the top-level diners, we must also grasp the upper-middle-level diners. Our side is ready and is expected to This year we can open three more Michelin three-star western restaurants in Beiping, and when the Beiping market is won, we will march south, and then we will have to trouble Mr. Arnold..."

Arnold interrupted the bullshit boss's speech with a look of impatience: "You attack your market, and take care of my business."

The boss at the other end of the video:?

"Mr. Arnold, I remember we agreed at the beginning, this time you..."

"I just came to Peiping this time to help you defeat the Chinese restaurant in Peking and make this trash restaurant stand firm. The rest is none of my business. I have no interest in your so-called alliance formed by a group of rookies. Did you sign the contract?"

boss:……

"Actually we..."

"Don't call me for this bullshit meeting in the future, you will waste my time and not pay overtime." Chef Arnold left directly, and he didn't forget to cut off the video conference as soon as he left.

Roland: ...

After cutting off the video conference, Chef Arnold was in a better mood, and his expression became more relaxed. He took out "My Chinese Classroom One to Three" that he had been studying recently, and asked while reading: "Taifeng Building is on holiday tomorrow. Have you found out why?"

He said the words "Taifeng Tower" in Chinese, and the whole sentence seemed very strange.

Roland: ...

The chef of his dignified two-star Michelin restaurant turned out to be a soldier who inquired about information, it was unbearable!

Forget it, let’s bear with it, he was cheated last year when he made an investment, he lost all his money and almost went bankrupt, otherwise he wouldn’t have been a good chef and went all the way to Beiping for money to fight with a group of people he didn’t know. The position of chef is gone.

"I have found out clearly. It seems that Taifenglou used some method to poach Sun Maocai, and he will join the job tomorrow." Roland said.

A Nuo nodded, not paying much attention: "What about their Jiang Feng? Have you been to Yonghe Residence recently?"

"No." Roland said.

Arno thought about it.

Roland saw Chef Arnold's appearance, not only why he wanted to gossip, but asked cautiously: "Chef Arnold, why do you come here?"

In Roland's opinion, Chef Arnold probably didn't come because of money like him - Chef Arnold was much richer than him, and if it was because of money, he would not be so tough on the boss.

Chef Arnold's face darkened in an instant, revealing a sneer that looked very scary with a bit of a half-smile.

"Revenge."
