Life is a Game

After making such a big circle, Arnold still wanted to fight Peng Changping, which no one expected.

After listening to Chef Arnold's mixed Chinese and English explanation, Jiang Feng asked the most critical question: "But how do we compete?"

"If the competition is held as a unit of restaurants, the recording cycle of this kind of reality show will be at least a few months in China and the United States. It is impossible for our restaurants to be closed for a few months."

The question Jiang Feng asked was exactly what Lu Sheng was concerned about. As a restaurant owner, although he did not make the restaurant as commercialized as Ling Guangzhao did, if there was a cheap and effective advertisement, he would do it for nothing.

A veteran reality show, Chef Arnold reappeared as a mentor and became a student, and the Sino-US Chef King Competition, Lu Sheng could even imagine that if Yongheju got an excellent ranking in this competitive reality show, or even the first, How good is the advertising effect?

That is definitely the level where you can wake up laughing every day when you look at the financial report.

"I don't know." Chef Arnold said.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

"Not this one……"

Chef Arnold obviously doesn't like to explain things that he is not interested in. He speaks very fast, but when he speaks Chinese, he is not fluent and slow. This feeling of stumbling and hesitating pronunciation makes him very uncomfortable. He explained to Jiang Feng that he had to speak Chinese. He had just seen from Jiang Feng's sometimes confused expression that Jiang Feng couldn't keep up with his speaking speed. The translation speed in his brain was half a beat slower than others, and he could only mix Chinese with English. , interpreted in English with grammatical errors.

"Their competition system hasn't been determined yet, they haven't even received the project funding, and I haven't signed the contract yet. I just went back to deal with some of my own business and interviewed them by the way. I just told you what I learned."

"Then what does this have to do with me?" Xu Cheng asked.

He is just a pure food critic, this kind of cooking competition has nothing to do with him, it can't be that the program team has no money and wants to ask him for sponsorship.

"They need judges," explains Chef Arno.

Xu Cheng was stunned.

Peng Changping has been listening quietly from the sidelines, while Zhou Shi quietly acts as a background board.

"So, the competition system has not been determined yet," Peng Changping said.

Chef Arno nodded.

"The format of the program has not yet been determined."

Chef Arno nodded.

"Actually, I have watched the previous seasons of this show. The general process seems to be that a group of young chefs concentrate on learning, compete and eliminate, and finally decide a few winners, and find a well-known restaurant to compete in the final." Peng Changping commented on this reality show. It's quite understandable, "A few years ago, the program team contacted me and wanted to borrow my restaurant for a few days as the final restaurant, but I rejected it."

"If the competition system is changed from solo competition to restaurant competition this year, it should be the venue for the competition." Peng Changping even began to analyze the possible competition system, "This will be much more interesting than before. Cooking competitions are originally It’s time to find professional chefs to compete, what’s the point of finding a group of good-looking youngsters who haven’t trained in knife skills for a few months of intensive training.”

Chef Arnold looked a little excited and looked at Peng Changping: "You agreed to compete?!"

Peng Changping smiled and shook his head: "I refuse."

Chef Arno: ? ? ?

"Why?" Chef Arnold's voice was full of confusion and anger.

He explained patiently for so long just to persuade Peng Changping to compete. Peng Changping obviously showed a very interested look, but in the end he refused. Chef Arnold felt that Peng Changping was just playing him like a monkey.

"I'm over a hundred years old. It's okay to watch variety shows, but I don't care if I participate in it myself." Peng Changping explained with a smile, "I know my body now. It's okay to take a walk and drink tea, but it's not okay to climb stairs. Occasionally, I can cook two dishes when I feel like it. Don’t look at the 27 dishes tonight. I didn’t cook a few of them myself, and I basically sat by the side to direct.”

"Reality show, it's good for you young people to go and have fun, but I, an old man, still don't participate."

Being rejected by Peng Changping, Chef Arnold looked very disappointed, and even the aggression exuded from his body was much less, giving people the impression of a big dog fighting, exhausted and listless, with no fighting spirit.

"Then I'll reject them." Chef Arnold said as he got up and left.

"Why?" Peng Changping was puzzled, "I think this program is very interesting, and you can all participate."

"There is no opponent." Chef Arnold said the most outrageous words in the most flat tone, and got up.

"That's not necessarily true." Peng Changping chuckled.

"Are you talking about Sun Maocai? I know that he switched to Taifeng Building some time ago. I remember that Taifeng Building seems to have a powerful chef who has never heard of him before, but that's it, it's not me. opponent." A Nuo looked very contemptuous, completely ignoring Sun Maocai and Jiang Weiming.

"It's not them." Peng Changping took a fancy to the mung bean cake, took a piece, took a sip and drank a mouthful of tea before continuing, "Sun Maocai is not as good as you, Jiang Weiming is about the same age as me, how could he participate in this kind of event?" reality show."

"Then who else?" Arnold really can't think of anyone else to compare him with. "Could it be those Frenchmen? They're just defeated, not even Sun Maocai."

Peng Changping pointed to Jiang Feng and remained silent.

Arnold:?

Jiang Feng:?

Jiang Feng subconsciously looked down at his chest. The clothes he was wearing were very normal and had no words on them, and he was very well-behaved and didn't splash any oil when he ate just now.

Excluding these external factors, there is only one reason for Peng Changping to criticize himself.

He can be the opponent of Chef Arno.

Jiang Feng suspected that Peng Changping wanted to kill him.

It is true that he has become a little swollen since he was promoted to the master level in terms of heat and seasoning. He didn't know his last name for a while and occasionally ignored the old man, but he still has the most basic self-knowledge.

He is not as good as Sun Maocai.

Whether it is cooking skills, experience, or management, he is not as good as Sun Maocai. There is a gap between a grandmaster and a grandmaster. There is a difference of one million proficiency at the master level, not to mention the 10 million proficiency at the grandmaster level.

Who knows whether the grandmaster he saw was a grandmaster with a proficiency of 100,000 or a master with a proficiency of 9.99 million?

Jiang Feng was not as good as Sun Maocai, and Sun Maocai was not as good as Chef Arnold, but anyone with a little basic judgment knew that Jiang Feng was definitely not as good as Chef Arnold.

When Jiang Feng was the most swollen, he felt that he might barely be able to squeeze into the top ten of the celebrity chef list. Chef Arnold could definitely be in the top five this year!

Not only Jiang Feng found it inconceivable, but Chef Arnold also found it inconceivable. He no longer felt that Peng Changping was playing with him. He felt that Peng Changping was humiliating him.

"Him?" Chef Arnold pointed at Jiang Feng in disbelief, "Can he be my opponent?"

Jiang Feng: ...

Although I don't think so, can your tone not be so exaggerated.

Chef A Nuo originally wanted to say something to express his strong dissatisfaction, but after glancing at Jiang Feng, he swallowed it back for some reason, and seemed to be a little guilty and guilty.

This is a rare event.

"I've heard some rumors about the Midsummer Banquet, and I've heard comments about the chickpeas he made." Chef Arnold's tone suddenly became calm, "But I don't think he's qualified."

"That's not necessarily true." Peng Changping finished eating the mung bean cake in his hand.

"I taught him dashi for months and he was a miracle."

"I don't want to say more about those adjectives that often appear in reality shows. Hardworking, perseverance, and persistence are all praise words, but you and I both know that each of us has these qualities. Lazy people are Can't be a celebrity chef. What I want to say is his talent, you should really feel it, if you and I can be called a genius by the world, then we are just ordinary mortals compared to him. I know how you feel, pride, Lonely, without an opponent, I was like this back then.”

"But you are luckier than me. I didn't meet you when I was still able to spare, but I met him when you were still able to spare."

For some reason, Jiang Feng felt that Chef Arnold's expression was distorted for a moment.

"My suggestion, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, why don't you take some time to go to Taifeng Building tomorrow to taste the chickpea curds he made before making a decision?" Peng Changping suggested.

Chef Arnold was silent.

Jiang Feng was also silent.

"Tomorrow at noon." Chef Arnold looked at Jiang Feng, "I will go to Taifeng Building to find you."
