Life is a Game

As of ten o'clock in the evening, the porridge shop's dishes were basically sold out.

There were some porridge and mung bean soup left, but not much, and Liu Qian drank them all. The dim sum is basically packed on the spot, there is nothing left, and there are still customers waiting in the store when it is almost ten o'clock, wanting to pack more dim sum to take home. But Sun Maocai had been busy for a whole day and couldn't keep up with energy, so Jiang Feng came forward to tell the customers that the porridge shop would close at ten o'clock and would no longer be open, and asked the customers to leave earlier.

Almost as soon as ten o'clock arrived, Jiang Feng and the others stopped what they were doing, put up the sign that the business was closed, and called it a day.

It's really tiring.

Even Sun Maocai, who has been a chef for decades, has never experienced such a tiring day.

Sun Maocai was actually the most tired one. Sun Maocai hadn't stopped since the publicity sign was placed at the door at noon. He had been making dim sum all the time. Various dim sum were born from his hands continuously like the assembly line production.

Even if the machine has been running continuously for nearly ten hours, it still has to stop for maintenance, let alone people. After finishing the work at hand, Sun Maocai didn't even want to play with his mobile phone, and sat quietly on the table in the lobby in a daze, waiting for the staff to count the results and announce the points and rankings of the major restaurants in the first week.

The other three were not much better, only Jiang Feng was a little better. With Liu Qian helping to pack and deliver the food, his workload was much less. When everyone else was resting, Jiang Feng simply cleaned up the back kitchen. After cleaning the back kitchen, he realized that he was actually very hungry now.

The four of them basically didn't eat much all day today. They ate casually in the morning, and lost their appetite at noon because the business was not good, and they were too busy to eat later. Just as Jiang Feng was thinking about whether to go out and buy something to pad everyone's stomachs, the staff of the program team called to tell them to meet in the coffee shop, and the statistical results were out.

"The results are out, they told us to go to the coffee shop." Jiang Feng said loudly.

The tired people immediately cheered up and got up to go to the coffee shop.

"What coffee shop? Shall we go to the coffee shop for dinner now?" Liu Qian didn't understand the situation, and didn't understand why everyone wanted to go to the coffee shop.

Jiang Feng just remembered that Liu Qian didn't know anything, so he could only simply explain to her: "Well, in fact, today we are recording a variety show. Today is a test. We are going to the coffee shop now and wait for the results to be ranked. come out."

Liu Qian nodded half-understanding: "Then shall we have dinner later?"

Jiang Feng:?

As expected of you.

Liu Qian has been busy for so long, and Jiang Feng should treat her to a good meal out of reason: "Why don't you go to the coffee shop with us and wait outside. When it's over, I'm treating you to dinner."

"Okay." Liu Qian followed Jiang Feng and the others to the coffee shop.

The coffee shop at this time is a little different from the coffee shop in the morning. There are still some miscellaneous instruments inside, and even a lot of decorations that occupy the space have been removed, replaced by seven round tables. There are four chairs around each round table, apparently for the contestants from the seven restaurants.

Jiang Feng noticed that there were many more people in the coffee shop.

There are many new faces that he has never seen before, and there are also some people he knows who have never been here, such as Xu Cheng, Peng Changping, Ling Guangzhao and Lu Sheng. Ling Guangzhao was making friends with Xu Cheng and Peng Changping with a smile. Tong Deyan, who had just stepped into the coffee shop, saw this scene and let out a very disdainful cold snort. Obviously, the relationship between him and Ling Guangzhao has not eased, just because of some unknown The reason is to come back to help Babaozhai platform.

Although Tong Deyan is still the same, Ling Guangzhao's attitude has changed drastically. When he saw Tong Deyan, he warmly greeted him and asked him if he was tired today. The vegetarian chef is like a good contemporary boss.

Ling Guangzhao suddenly changed from a black-hearted capitalist to a good contemporary boss. This made the other boss present, Lu Sheng, a little embarrassed, so he followed suit and went up to ask the chef of Yongheju how he was. After the question, he stopped by to care about Jiang Feng.

"Congratulations, when I first heard that you picked that porridge shop, I thought you made a foolish move, but I didn't expect it to be a lore. It seems that you are expected to qualify at Taifeng Building this time." Lu Sheng smiled. on the road.

When he said that, Jiang Feng immediately understood that Taifeng Building's test results should be quite good today, and achieved a shocking reversal from the bottom one.

"When did you come?" Jiang Feng asked.

"I just came here not long ago. Didn't I come here to hear the results? I wanted to see if there was any drama in Yongheju. Now it seems that there is probably no drama." Lu Sheng was a little helpless.

While they were chatting, each camera position had been set up, and the organizer's staff also yelled a few words with a small speaker, signaling everyone to sit down and be quiet, and now the results will be announced.

Anyone who has watched variety shows knows that when announcing the results of the competition, the host's speaking speed will become very slow, and he will not pause when he should pause, and seem to lose his voice when he should not pause. way to create a tense and anxious atmosphere.

There are two hosts who announce the results, one speaks Chinese and the other speaks English.

"After a week-long points competition and today's single-week test, the points and rankings of the first week have been calculated, and now I will announce the number one restaurant." When the host announced the ranking, there was a sticker next to it Every time a restaurant is announced, a whiteboard will be opened, and there will be test points, operating points from Monday to Friday and total points on it.

"The number one restaurant this week is Zhiweiju, with a total of 8762 points. Congratulations to the four contestants of Zhiweiju."

Jiang Feng took a look. Zhiweiju's business points in the previous five days were very high, more than 6300 points, which means that the test score of Zhiweiju today was only more than 2400 points, and he didn't even sell a thousand cakes.

In fact, it's normal to think about it carefully. The test started at ten o'clock in the morning, but the preparation time for Baian pastry is very long, and the business of the pastry shop at night will not be as good as during the day. If an ordinary breakfast bun shop starts selling buns at five or six o’clock, the preparation will start at one or two o’clock in the morning, and it will take time to steam the cakes. Today, Sun Maocai made so many dim sums for so long, but the dim sum is actually only a hundred baskets—the speed is slower as you go later. will be slower.

But in any case, 8762 points is definitely a super high score.

"The restaurant ranked second this week is the top restaurant, with a total of 6197 points. Congratulations to the four contestants of the top restaurant."

The operating points of the restaurant on the top floor are more than 3,700 points, and the test score is also more than 2,400 points. As a western-style dessert shop, the points are quite good. Jiang Feng thinks that the restaurant on the top floor can have such a high test score, it should be because of the hot weather and sold a lot Drink's sake.

Desserts don't take too long to make.

Having said that, the most cost-effective is porridge. A big pot can be sold for a lot, and the most important thing is that it can be boiled at the same time, as long as there are enough pots and stoves, you want to cook as many pots as you want.

"The third-ranked restaurant this week is Babaozhai, with a total of 5313 points. Let us congratulate the four contestants of Babaozhai."

Jiang Feng:?

? ? ?

Babaozhai? ? ?

Jiang Feng subconsciously glanced at Ling Guangzhao. Ling Guangzhao was already beaming with joy, smiling from ear to ear, and the corners of his mouth were almost curled up to the sky to stand shoulder to shoulder with the moon.

Babaozhai's operating points are more than 2300 points, and the test points are nearly 3000 points. It is obvious that their fried skewers business today is really good. Among the four chefs in Babaozhai, one of the four chefs is definitely a master of fried skewers, and so is Ling Guangzhao Really shit luck.

"The restaurant ranked fourth this week is Taifenglou, with a total of 4999 points. Let us congratulate the four contestants of Taifenglou."

As soon as the score slip of Taifeng Building was uncovered, there was a small exclamation at the scene. There was no other reason. The test score of Taifeng Building was too high, with a full score of 4380 points. This score can be said to be the best.

Taifeng Restaurant can get such a high score mainly due to the full discount on takeaways. People these days can order any dish in order to fill up the discount. From Yibao to Coke to orange juice to mung bean soup, as long as they can get the full discount, Dare to order anything whether you like it or not. Originally, I might just want to order dim sum and porridge, but after ordering, I found that there was still a full discount of six yuan, so drinks and side dishes were arranged.

Before Jiang Feng left the porridge shop, he made a simple calculation. Today, no less than two hundred bottles of mineral water and carbonated drinks alone were sold.

Other stores may lose because they don't sell mineral water and carbonated drinks.

After all, money is calculated by portion today, as long as it is sold, even a bottle of water will be counted as three points.

After knowing the points of his own restaurant, Jiang Feng didn't care so much about the points of the rest of the restaurants. Huaiyang Building ranked fifth, Yonghe ranked sixth, and Chengji Restaurant ranked seventh. It's no wonder that when Lu Sheng was talking to Jiang Feng just now, his smile was a bit bitter. Yongheju ranked sixth in the first week, and nine out of ten he was out.

After the points and rankings are announced, it's over. Everyone is tired after a busy day, and they just want to go home to eat and rest.

The program team finally announced the game time for next week. Since today's test is quite tiring, Monday must be a rest day, and the game time is from Tuesday to Saturday. Contestants from out-of-town restaurants have to go back on Monday, so they have to suffer a bit in terms of rest.

After saying these words, everyone dispersed.

"congratulations."

"Congratulations, let's work hard next week."

"congratulations."

Those who were present basically knew Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai, and they would all come over to congratulate them. Taifenglou changed from a group that was definitely eliminated to a group that was expected to qualify, and the strength of the contestants was obvious to all. Everyone naturally wants to add icing on the cake, and one more congratulations will not miss anything.

"President, you guys are so amazing. What kind of test score is more than 4,000 points, which is the highest." Liu Qian ran in at some point, and no one stopped her. Maybe the people in the program group regarded her as a The staff of Good Taste, and the staff of Good Taste regarded her as a member of the program team.

"Thanks to your help today, otherwise we would not have such a good business." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, we all want to thank you today." Sun Maocai recovered his strength now and smiled, "I know you have a big appetite and didn't eat enough dim sum today, so change your name and come to Taifeng Tower if you have time, I'll make it for you A table of authentic Cantonese cuisine will definitely satisfy you.”

Liu Qian still didn't know how attractive and enviable Sun Maocai's promise was, so she said happily: "Okay, okay, thank you Uncle Sun, I also want to taste the authentic Cantonese cuisine, I haven't been there yet What about Guangdong Province?"

"I asked my dad to send you two cans of kimchi tomorrow. Qianqian, aren't you at work now? If you think the takeaways near the company are not good, you can serve some kimchi with your meal." Wu Minqi smiled.

"Wow, Kiki, you are so kind!" Liu Qian was ecstatic.

Sun Jikai and Liu Qian were completely unfamiliar, and after thinking about it, he felt that his Cantonese cooking skills were not worth mentioning in front of Sun Maocai, and he had nothing to show for it, so he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Next time I have a chance, I will treat you to fried fried beef. "

Jiang Feng:?

Old Sun, you have changed. What you were most proud of was your Wenchang chicken!

Although the old overturned.

Everyone's promises are very attractive, but after all, it is the future. The most important thing to be a human being is to focus on the present. Liu Qian is such a person who lives in the present.

"Then what shall we eat now?" Liu Qian asked.

Jiang Feng glanced at his phone. The organizers were slow to do things, and it was already eleven o'clock. Except for barbecue restaurants, fried chicken restaurants and a few restaurants that stay open until the early hours of the morning, there are no more delicious restaurants open now.

"My dad probably hasn't slept yet. How about I call and ask him to cook a few dishes and some fried rice. Let's make do with it. Liu Qian, where do you live now? Let me see if it's far away." Jiang Feng suggested.

"Not far, not far." Liu Qian didn't even know where Jiang Feng's house lived, so she said it was not far, "I will go to work at nine o'clock tomorrow, and the company is very close to where I live, so I can wake up at eight o'clock, and it doesn't matter if I go to bed later today." , I’ll just take a taxi home by then.”

"What kind of fried rice should I eat after a day of tiredness? I have already prepared dinner. I thought that some people must have worked hard today and should eat something good, but now it seems that they should not have worked so hard. If you don't mind Let's go to Yongheju and eat together." Peng Changping appeared behind Jiang Feng at some point, and said with a smile.

Han Guishan and Xu Cheng, two brains that are supposed to manage a lot of things, sat very calmly at the table not far away, with faces full of I want to eat.

"Of course I don't mind. It's too late for us to be happy to eat your meal. How could we mind?"

"Then let's go." Peng Changping yawned and shook his head, "You guys are really tired from recording a variety show. You have to work so late every day that you don't even have time to eat. No wonder some people are so hungry. I’m not sober, I have to choose a bakery even though I don’t know how to make cakes.”

This is obviously scolding apprentices, one of the contestants in Yongheju is Peng Changping's apprentice, but Peng Changping went abroad after only a few years of teaching.

The apprentice who never had a name bowed his head in shame, not daring to speak.

"President, are we going to Yongheju for dinner now?" Liu Qian asked.

"Yes, go to Yonghe to have a big meal." Jiang Feng couldn't hold back for a while and yawned, but after thinking about it, he said, "You should eat less when the time comes, don't eat too much and make yourself full."

He was really sleepy, and he didn't want to send Liu Qian to the hospital for gastric lavage at such a late hour.

Liu Qian:?
