Life is a Game

Jiang Feng only sold two fried shredded potatoes in four days.

Everyone guessed that his stir-fried potato shreds might be a drag, but they didn't expect it to be so slow.

Even though the two potato shreds received two positive reviews each, Jiang Feng only earned four points in four days.

As of 11 o'clock on Thursday night, Taifeng House had only scored 525 points.

Among them, Jiang Feng had 4 points, Sun Maocai had 16 points, Wu Minqi had 87 points, and Sun Jikai had 418 points. The combined points of Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai were only two points more than Sun Jikai's fraction.

Before the competition started, everyone thought that Sun Jikai might be the one who held back Taifenglou. But when the game really started, everyone discovered that Sun Jikai was actually the one who really carried the audience.

How to put it, even if it is one dragging three, these three pig teammates are too difficult to lead.

The most difficult one must be Jiang Feng. Almost from the next afternoon, the camera teacher stationed in the back kitchen stopped taking pictures of Zhang Guanghang, and took pictures of Jiang Feng almost the whole time. Pat his hands and face, trying to capture the subtleties of his facial expressions.

In this way, Jiang Feng suspected that this group of camera teachers might have a special group, and they would communicate with each other about the performance of the people they photographed every night. Jiang Feng was probably the last one. Even the camera teacher thought he was too miserable, so he gave him more shots.

It may also be that the camera teacher simply wanted to capture Jiang Feng's despair, anger, and even furious scenes, so as to add a little excitement to the show.

But Jiang Feng didn't. Jiang Feng has been very calm for the past four days.

Calm enough to kill someone.

Jiang Feng had thought of many ways to turn the tide, including some unreasonable means to get customers to order fried shredded potatoes, but he rejected them all in his heart.

As long as the guests have a normal mind, whoever has nothing to do can order Jiang Feng's dishes and shredded potatoes.

"Hey." Jiang Feng sighed.

Obviously he is the one who took the template of the protagonist of the novel, so why is it useless to hang up at a critical moment.

Since the recording of the show, the sales of Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai's competition dishes have been bleak, Wu Minqi played steadily, Sun Jikai was almost overworked, and the atmosphere in the back kitchen of Taifeng Building has always been delicate.

Everyone felt that Tai Fung House was going to lose.

Keshu is divided into different methods. If it is because Sun Jike defeated Taifeng Building and lost, everyone will think this is normal. Although it is a bit regrettable, after all, the shortcomings cannot be reversed. But it was Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai who were pulling the span now, which made everyone a little unacceptable.

If you want to say what the specific feeling is, it is probably——

That's it?

That's it? !

This is about to lose? ? !

Wu Minqi poured Jiang Feng a glass of water, subconsciously looked up at the camera above the living room.

"Today's score statistics should be out." Wu Minqi sat next to Jiang Feng.

"Come out." Jiang Feng poured half a glass of water, "I'm still too late."

"Fengfeng, don't say that." Wu Minqi also felt very helpless about the current situation.

The drawing of lots was originally a matter of metaphysics, and metaphysical problems could only be defeated with metaphysical abilities. Unfortunately, no one in Taifeng Building could change fortunes by divination and fortune-telling, so they couldn't transfer Jiang Feng's luck.

At the beginning, Jiang Feng felt that even if Taifeng House was unlucky in the first week, the dishes drawn by the two main players were suffocating, and the scores were destined to be low and they might still be at the bottom. But as long as the luck in the second week is not as bad as that in the first week, and a good result is maintained, and the counterattack starts in the third and fourth weeks, it is possible to win.

This kind of steady and steady counterattack plot is very popular.

But the premise is that the score in the first week cannot be too low.

Although everyone doesn't know the scores of the other seven participating restaurants, they are definitely higher than Taifeng Restaurant, and may be much higher.

Only the top two can qualify. If the score is too low in the first week, then basically bid farewell to the qualifying.

The current situation in Taifeng Building is that there are four contestants on the surface, but in fact only two are participating. Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai were basically negligible, and they were forced to paddle the whole time, all supported by Sun Jikai. During this period of time, Sun Jikai's stir-fried dry fried beef is almost fried with dry fried beef PDST. When eating at noon, Jiang Feng could feel Sun Jikai's right hand shaking at the frequency of a stir-fried beef. If he didn't know it, he thought it was Young Master Sun's age. Suffering from Parkinson's at a young age.

The chef is the first and the second is the competition. Taifeng Building can't take the chef in for a bad competition.

"I don't think Sun Jikai can go on like this anymore. Do you know how many orders he has taken today? I feel like he hasn't stopped. I saw his arm shaking when I was having lunch today. There are still two days left. Don't use up your hands at that time." Jiang Feng said.

"However, it's only useful for him to take orders." Wu Minqi looked a little frustrated, "His fried beef has become famous during this time, and customers basically order fried beef with his dishes."

Just when the two were at a loss, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he found that it was Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai, both of whom looked unhappy.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng welcomed the two of them in, and by seeing their expressions, he could guess that something bad had happened.

"I called you just now and you didn't answer. Didn't you read the news from the program team just now?" Sun Jikai asked.

"Announcement?" Jiang Feng quickly took out his phone. He was worrying about points with Wu Minqi just now, so he really didn't pay much attention to the phone.

Because it is a reality show, sometimes there may be some temporary situations and problems during the recording period of the show, so the staff responsible for the shooting and recording of each restaurant in the program group opened a WeChat group for the contestants in each restaurant.

There is generally no news in this group.

But now there is.

It is an announcement and a document.

Bazhen Hall was suspected of cheating due to illegal operations. After discussion by the program team, it was finally decided to disqualify him from the competition and announce the participants. Now they have obtained points and the facts of cheating.

Cheating!

Jiang Feng quickly clicked on the file under the announcement.

In fact, Bazhen Pavilion is not stupid. It is obvious at a glance that it has not done anything that is obvious at a glance, and it was caught on the spot. Their cheating is quite skillful, and it can even be said that they almost didn't find out.

Bazhen Pavilion launched a special package.

Launching special packages is a normal marketing operation for restaurants, and Bazhen Restaurant did not intentionally gather all the dishes in one special package, and there was even only one participating dish among the six special packages. The discounts of these packages are very general, so at first the program group didn't care about it and just regarded it as normal marketing.

But in fact, Bazhen Pavilion still tampered with the set meal.

On the bright side, the discount for the three-person set meal that includes the participating dishes is very small, and the set price of the original price of 288 is only 258 after the discount. But in fact, Bazhen Museum distributed a large number of three-person discount packages that can be late for 68 through other secret channels, such as the city's internal discount group, internal discount official account, and internal discount APP.

Although the method of swiping orders is very clever, it was still discovered by the program team, so that it was disqualified from the competition.

The document contained a lot of nonsense, and Jiang Feng almost scanned it at a glance to get a general understanding of what happened. At the end of the file is the current data of Baxianguan. The reason why Baxianguan uses this method to swipe orders is very simple. Their lottery result this time is very bad, and the points on the first day are very dismal, so they took the risk and used this method. I came to swipe the order, but I was discovered just two days after I swipe.

The current total points of the Eight Immortals Hall is 1342 points.

The program group also kindly provided a reference score, which is 972 points, excluding the points of the menu data of the Baxian Pavilion in the past two days.

Jiang Feng:?

You all have 972 points in the normal ratio, and you still score points?

Brother, you are a bit too much.

Jiang Feng finally took a look at the list of contestants for the Eight Immortals Pavilion announced by the program group. Two of them were well-known Cantonese chefs in the industry.

I just don't know if the program crew will directly accuse them of cheating without giving any sympathy when the show is broadcast, or if they will show some face and say that the Eight Immortals Hall has retired from the competition.

There was obviously one less competitor, but Jiang Feng felt a little bit sad.

How to put it, people with a score of 972 feel that they are going to die, they are forced to take risks, and at the same time cheat with impure intentions, and their scores of more than 500 are obviously dead.

"This time, the Eight Immortals Pavilion is a big shame." Sun Maocai said.

Both he and Sun Jikai were Cantonese chefs, and they had a better understanding of the Cantonese cuisine circle, and they basically knew the chefs of the Eight Immortals Pavilion, and their feelings were much deeper than those of Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi.

"Their boss is indeed a bit opportunistic and will use this method to cheat. He must think that foreign program groups can't check so deeply. But if the situation is not really bad, he probably won't use this method to cheat. "Sun Maocai sighed.

"I think there is a problem with the competition system." Sun Jikai, who has been under speculation for a few days, said, "When I first watched the program rules, I didn't think there was anything wrong. I didn't realize that the competition system was fundamental until I compared it. There is a problem, the uncertainty of using this kind of lottery is too great, and it is not suitable for competition at all."

"But after all, we reported the menu ourselves." Wu Minqi said.

"But we know very well that no one has ten special dishes, and even a restaurant may not be able to find ten best-selling dishes." Sun Jikai seemed a little excited.

Sun Maocai nodded: "Indeed, the competition system is very problematic."

Jiang Feng also nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, participating in a variety show is completely different from watching a variety show. When watching a variety show that is exactly the same, I feel very cool and beautiful when I watch Chef Arnold participate in it. When I participate in it myself, I just want to kill the show crew.

Wait, Chef Arno.

Jiang Feng felt as if he had been ignoring something.

"Qiqi, I remember you finished the first season of this reality show, right?" Jiang Feng turned to look at Wu Minqi.

"Ah?" Wu Minqi was taken aback, unable to understand why Jiang Feng suddenly asked this, and nodded, "Yes, I... finished it."

"I remember you telling me that the first season of this show became popular because Chef Arnold scolded the show crew. Do you remember why he scolded the show crew?" Jiang Feng asked.

Wu Minqi said without hesitation: "Because there was a problem with the competition system set by the program group at the beginning, it was very unfair to the girl who is good at making desserts, so Chef Arnold was furious and scolded the program group halfway through the recording."

Wu Minqi thought for a while and added: "Later, the show became popular because the program team revised the competition system and re-competed the first match."

It can be said that the problem with the competition system of this program belongs to traditional arts.

Everyone suddenly realized what Jiang Feng meant.

"Fengfeng, what do you mean..."

Jiang Feng silently gave Chef Arnold a big compliment in his heart. If Chef Arnold hadn't pioneered scolding the program group for changing the competition system, no one would have thought that variety shows could be played like this.

If there is a problem with the competition system, the problem should be solved at the root, such as the program group at the root.

"Didn't the program team leave a phone call for us? This announcement was made 20 minutes ago. They must not be off work yet. Who is good at English? When the time comes, the communication must be with people in the United States, and they must speak English. .” Jiang Feng raised his phone.

The three looked at Sun Jikai in unison.

Sun Jikai: ...

Sun Jikai could only take out his mobile phone, hesitating a little before making a call, after all, Jiang Feng's way was too wild, and he had never seen such an operation.

"Will it work? The rules of this competition are all set directly. As for the seven restaurants, it is impossible to change the rules temporarily." Sun Jikai felt that the call was useless.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't Chef Arnold also participating in the competition? If we don't make a phone call, Chef Arnold will definitely scold at that time. It's okay, the program team is used to it." Jiang Feng encouraged.

Sun Jikai:?

In fact, Jiang Feng guessed correctly, the program team had indeed gotten used to it.

Because Chef Arno is swearing right now.

The kind that starts with shit.
