Life is a Game

On October 15th, the recording of the competition officially started. On the 13th, the dishes for the contestants will be released.

The so-called preparation is that everyone is familiar with some of the conversations with the guests before the official start of the variety show. This Jiang Feng is familiar with. When he participated in the Good Taste Cooking Competition, everyone recorded the preparations, so he has seen the world.

It’s just that the preparation for the Good Taste Cooking Competition is that each contestant goes to the TV station to record. This time, the program team came to the door and set aside a small room for the recording in their respective restaurants. You can also let everyone The contestants and their respective cameramen should get familiar with each other first.

Because it is the production team in the United States, the photographers are all foreigners, and they are all strong men. Maybe they need to carry the photographers around, and the amount of exercise is comparable to that of long-distance runners. Must be strong men to be competent. .

Jiang Feng's photographer was a strong man with a beard. At first glance, his back looked a bit like Chef Arnold's, and he almost didn't notice that Jiang Feng was in a cold sweat. He was very cold, and when he saw Jiang Feng, he just nodded politely and didn't even say hi, which seemed a little embarrassing for Jiang Feng who said hi.

The choreographer and director of Ze Bei Cai is a Chinese. It may be for the convenience of communicating with the contestants, and he looks very professional. After Jiang Feng entered the small room, the director smiled and motioned him to sit down and let him relax, just asking a few simple questions and don't be nervous.

Not only was Jiang Feng not nervous, but he still had a lot of questions he wanted to ask the program team. Since he received the news that the program will start soon, his schedule has been very full, and he basically has things to do every day. After studying in Yongheju, I returned to Taifeng Building, thinking about the menu, and after I settled down to stir-fry shredded potatoes yesterday, I had a headache what to do with this dish.

Since Jiang Feng's culinary skills have risen, everyone knows how to stir-fry shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Even small stir-fried dishes that Sang Ming can fry well are rarely on the menu. Especially after Jiang Feng listened to Sun Maocai's opinion, he changed his menu to an unstable one. The better-selling mobile dishes are sweet and sour pork ribs, ground three delicacies, and sauced elbows. For meat dishes, stir-fried shredded potatoes are just a decoration.

It's not easy to grab Jiang Feng's dishes. Who would waste such a precious spot on stir-fried shredded potatoes?

Just as Jiang Feng was crazily complaining about how bad the stir-fried potato shreds were, the director had already smiled and asked questions.

Seeing Jiang Feng's serious face and empty eyes, the director thought that he was tense and unnatural because he was too nervous, so he thought of saying something off topic to ease the atmosphere: "Master Jiang, you don't need to be too nervous, Then we just ask some simple little questions. Well, let's talk about something else first. You..."

"Can I ask a few questions?" Jiang Feng said.

The director was taken aback, and said, "Of course, you can ask anything you want."

"The recording will start tomorrow. Although the chefs of our participating restaurants will not meet each other in the first two weeks, I think we should at least tell us the names of other contestants. Even if we don't announce the dishes, we should Tell us who the opponent is, why hasn't the program group given us any news?"

Choreographer: "Huh?"

"Also, I see that it is clearly written in the process-related documents that Monday to Saturday is the scoring day, and a small test will be conducted on Sunday, based on rankings and points. But what is the scope of this test, and what is the specific content, did not tell us. Since we will not meet each other, the test must be conducted separately, if so, how can we clearly know whether the ranking is faked or not."

"The most critical question is that when we are working, our back kitchen will not have as few people as it is now. You know the back kitchen of the hotel, and there will not be too much vacant space. You see, these cameramen are tall and big With such a big camera, there is probably no room for them to carry the camera and follow us in the back kitchen. I think one is enough, let alone four, and the plug probably won’t be able to fit it in. Any seasonings or dishes that have been marinated will affect our normal business."

Jiang Feng's mouth clicked like a machine gun, and a series of bullets came out, blinding the director.

The director thought that I was just a director responsible for money, and the specific program planning or content had nothing to do with her. She couldn't solve these things if she asked her, so she could only keep smiling and said politely: "I'll give you the questions you just asked. I will report it to the program team, and I believe there will be a reply soon."

Jiang Feng: ...

I think you are short of one sentence: I wish you a happy life.

"I think we're almost finished talking, can we start?" The editor and director could tell that Jiang Feng wasn't nervous at all. He was just thinking about something, so he changed the subject immediately.

Seeing that his question could not be answered or resolved, Jiang Feng nodded, indicating that he could start.

Jiang Feng originally thought that the preparation would be very casual and gentle, just like the previous Haowei Cooking Competition, calling everyone to the TV station was just to record self-introduction and participation declaration. Except for Ji Xue who recorded her self-introduction as a job advertisement, everyone was normal.

In his original idea, the questions he asked should be an introduction to the restaurant, an introduction to himself, his thoughts on this game and whether he is confident, so that the preparation can be ended happily. But he didn't expect that the first question was very sharp, and it could even be said to be full of gunpowder.

"The competition in our show is very fierce, and only the top two can enter the final in the form of a points competition. I just looked at the menus of the four chefs of Taifeng Restaurant in the first week, and it can be said that there is no advantage at all. Do you think there is still a chance for Taifeng House to qualify in such a disadvantaged situation in the first week?" the director asked with a smile.

Jiang Feng:?

Make trouble?

However, the director's words actually reminded Jiang Feng that the dishes they got were really not good.

In other words, some restaurants have drawn very advantageous dishes.

"Of course." Jiang Feng raised his head confidently, and rarely showed the confidence and aura of his three masters, "There are only chefs who have no advantages, and there are no dishes that are inferior."

"It is indeed the restaurant that appeared on the cover of "Zhiwei" this year. I am really confident. I think we should see the excellent performance of Taifeng Road in the future."

"The second question is actually the last question. In the second stage of the exchange match, do you have a restaurant that you really want to go to?"

Jiang Feng thought for a while: "Let's live in Yonghe."

He is familiar with Yonghe.

"Why?"

"Didn't you say that was the last question?"

Choreographer: ...

The director assumed that Jiang Feng didn't want to answer, smiled, and got up to send Jiang Feng away.

It took almost an hour for the four people to prepare for the acquisition. After the preparation, the four exchanged questions with each other and found that everyone was asked the same question. The program group really wanted to make trouble.

"Fengfeng, when the results of the first week's points competition come out, which of the eight restaurants in our country will rank first?" Wu Minqi asked curiously.

"It should be Zhiweiju. If you pile up the quantity alone, other restaurants should not be able to pile him up." Jiang Feng said.

"Indeed, Zhiweiju should be the one with the greatest advantage in the first round, but they are also the ones with the biggest disadvantage in the second round." Sun Maocai nodded in agreement, "After the second round of exchange, we have to cook according to the original menu of the restaurant. Except for Babaozhai's pastries, which are a little famous, some other restaurants don't even do white paper."

"Don't think about the second round. Now we don't seem to be doing well in the first round." Jiang Feng smiled wryly. Although what he said was very arrogant when he was preparing for picking, he still had some doubts about whether the stir-fried shredded potatoes were competitive. .

According to the normal operation, his menu tomorrow will be chickpea curd, eight-treasure chestnut pigeon, orange stuffed with crab, shredded yam, pure meat wonton, Li Hongzhang's chowder, marriage set meal, braised eel section, fat sausage and fried potato shreds.

Tomorrow's guests will order stir-fried shredded potatoes if they can't think about it!

The same is true for Sun Maocai. Tomorrow's guests will be overwhelmed. They can order Sun Maocai's dishes and soup baby dishes.

Wu Minqi's mapo tofu can still be beaten a little bit. The mapo tofu she makes is very spicy. The average customer may not be able to accept it, but some customers are very good at it.

The most capable player is Sun Jikai. Whether or not Taifeng Building will be at the bottom this week depends on Young Master Sun's performance.

"Old Sun, come on!" Jiang Feng patted Sun Jikai's shoulder with a heavy face, "Show your true strength, we really have to rely on you this week."

"Fortunately, your fried beef is eight yuan cheaper than Ji Xue's. I want to take Ji Xue's fried beef off the shelves."

Sun Jikai:?

Although he understood what Jiang Feng meant, he still felt that Jiang Feng was mocking him.

I think my dry fried beef river can be raised by 8 yuan, thank you.
