Life is a Game

In fact, the three of Sun Maocai have already analyzed almost the same, and they have all selected the dishes they are going to be responsible for. Yongheju mainly specializes in Shandong cuisine, and also dabbles in other cuisines, such as Cantonese cuisine, Subang cuisine, local cuisine and even Southeast Asian cuisine, but they are not very good and the sales are mediocre.

After Jiang Feng looked at the dishes selected by the three of them, he helped them remove a few that usually sold very badly, but they were just printed on the menu to make up the number, even if the menu for the next two weeks was confirmed.

This is the benefit of understanding the exchange restaurant. If the four of Jiang Feng knew nothing about Yongheju, they would definitely step on the thunder in the first two days, and then make adjustments on the menu, which would waste a few days of earning points and fall behind. .

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the menu was completely set. Lu Sheng originally wanted to stay with Jiang Feng and the others for dinner at Yongheju, but all the boxes for today have been booked out. Variety shows are popular during this period, and many locals in Peiping have watched variety shows. The four of Jiang Feng might not be recognized walking alone on the street, but it is inevitable that the four of them will be recognized by the audience and cause unnecessary confusion. trouble.

After weighing the balance, Lu Sheng led Jiang Feng and the others to a fly restaurant in Chengzhong Village for dinner.

Although the sanitation of Fly Restaurant is not very good, but the chef's skills are good. In Wu Minqi's words, it has the atmosphere of Jianghu cuisine. This restaurant also specializes in Sichuan cuisine.

Jianghu cuisine with a Jianghu atmosphere is more atmospheric than eating in this kind of small restaurant than in a big restaurant.

In fact, Lu Sheng invited the four of them to dinner because he wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the other three. Yongheju has already missed the chance to qualify, and he has a good relationship with Taifenglou, so there is no need to make trouble. This opportunity to make friends is also very good .

For the next few days, the four of Jiang Feng went to Yongheju during non-business hours every day. Without disturbing the normal operation of Yongheju, they got acquainted with other chefs in the back kitchen of Yongheju and got to know the structure of the kitchen and some kitchen utensils. Jiang Feng doesn't need to be familiar with it. Every time he goes to Yongheju, as long as Peng Changping is around, he will be arrested to show how Jiang's ginseng soup and phoenix eggs are made, and see if he has abandoned the kitchen because of variety show competitions during this period of time. art.

No waste, but no progress either.

The rest period between the competitions is a window period for variety shows, and the cameras of Yongheju are still shooting as usual, but there is no photographer Fu to follow. The program team will cut a half-hour of the material filmed this week for daily life and post-match rest. Many things Jiang Feng doesn't mind being photographed, anyway, many things can't be broadcast after being photographed.

The progress of Taifeng Building is good, and the progress of the restaurant on the top floor is also good. Although Jiang Feng was not in Taifeng Building, Ji Yue, Ji Xia and Comrade Wang Xiulian would enthusiastically tell him what Chef Arnold did in Taifeng Building today.

Chef Arnold, like Jiang Feng and the others, went to Taifeng Building to confirm the menu on Thursday. Chef Ale and the four contracted all of Zhang Guanghang's menus, which caused Zhang Guanghang to take a long vacation for the next two weeks because he had no food to cook.

Zhang Guanghang was very happy about this, and booked a plane ticket back to France to go home and visit relatives.

Jiang Feng felt that it was fake to visit relatives, but it was true that he didn't want to see Chef Arnold.

In addition to Zhang Guanghang's dishes, Chef Promise's team also contracted some desserts and some Cantonese dishes from Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai. It is obvious that some of these four purebred foreign chefs have dabbled in Cantonese cuisine.

On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Chef Arnold led his younger brothers to stay in Taifeng Building, like Jiang Feng and the others, did not affect the normal business of Taifeng Building. If it is business hours, they will not do it, just watch and observe the situation of each chef. During non-business hours, Chef Arnold will use the ingredients and kitchen utensils of Taifeng Building to make the dishes they finalized on Thursday, and make sure that each dish is perfect. There is no problem to make a smooth fit that fits flawlessly.

It can be said to be quite professional.

As for why the four people in the restaurant on the top floor are called Chef Arnold and his younger brother, according to Ji Yue's observation and description, Chef Arnold is an absolute tyrant in the kitchen. The command circles around. It gives people the impression that Chef Arnold brought his three younger brothers to work for Taifeng Building.

The language barrier is a problem for Arnold's chef team, but it's not a problem either. Theoretically speaking, contestants need to cooperate with the chefs in the back kitchen of the other restaurant when they switch to the other restaurant. Jiang Feng and the others took this path. They have been getting acquainted with the chefs of Yongheju in the past few days to familiarize themselves with their methods and habits, so that they can better cooperate in the operation.

Chef A Nuo took another route. He also cooperated, but not with the chef of Taifeng Building, but with his three younger brothers.

According to the informant's report, Chef Arnold's method is also very useful. With the cooperation of three excellent and familiar younger brothers, Chef Arnold can produce dishes quickly without the help of other chefs in Taifeng Building, and the quality is still high. The only downside is that the four chefs have become one and a half, and Roland is also considered half a chef.

However, their problem is the language barrier and inconvenient communication. It is also a good way to directly choose not to communicate.

Everyone is actively preparing for the second round, whether they are hopefuls or hopeless, but attitude becomes especially important when the result looks like a foregone conclusion.

Even if you are doomed to lose, as long as you have the attitude to lose, you will be honored to lose.

With such a positive attitude and progress, the second round of competition began.

At this time, the diners have not realized that the head chef of their favorite restaurant has quietly changed. Some guests who watched variety shows went to support their favorite restaurants did not realize that they might not be supporting their favorite chefs.

They are capitalizing on the enemy.

For example, Liu Qian and Zhang Qian, they came to Taifeng Building to be enemies at very inopportune circumstances, and Zi was also the enemy of the restaurant on the top floor of Taifeng Building.

In fact, they can’t be blamed. Variety shows need a series of issues such as post-editing and review, so there is a big time difference between the broadcast time and the shooting time, but many viewers don’t realize how long the time difference is.

It was always broadcast in the episode of Snack Street, and the program group used real money to tell the audience how good the chef they hired was before it really became popular. As the direct beneficiary, Liu Qian realized immediately after the show went viral that the variety show Jiang Jiangfeng and the others recorded that day was a competition, and the competition lasted for a long time.

She really wanted to go to Taifeng Building to support Jiang Feng's figure immediately, but she had just done a lot of work during her internship and hadn't started yet. She was so busy in the past two weeks that she couldn't even spare time for her rest day. I waited until the second round started for nearly a week, and on Saturday, I took the time to go to Taifeng Building for dinner.

Then he bumped into Zhang Qian who also had time to go to Taifeng Building to eat and support Jiang Feng because the school was closed on weekends.

Zhang Qian originally wanted to bring her roommates along, but last time Jiang Feng's pure meat wontons had such an influence that her three good roommates were so overwhelmed that they refused to come, so she had to come alone.

The business of Taifeng Building was booming. Both Zhang Qian and Liu Qian came late and were alone, but there was only one table for four left. The waiter suggested that they share the table, and the two readily agreed.

Liu Qian hasn't eaten at Taifeng Building before and doesn't understand the menu, so don't let Zhang Qian order first. In fact, the two have met each other a long time ago. After the Good Taste Cooking Competition, Liu Qian met Zhang Qian when she went to eat at a normal stir-fry restaurant. Can't remember who it was.

When Zhang Qian started ordering, she found that something was wrong with the menu.

Her father is also a chef, and the head chef of a big hotel. When Zhang Qian looked at the menu, she knew that Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi probably didn't go to work today.

In order to prevent diners from seeing that the chef has been transferred, the menu of Taifeng Restaurant has also been adjusted tactically. For tuning and debugging, all limited dishes are temporarily cancelled.

These days, no matter what the system is, there can be problems. Most of the diners haven't noticed anything yet, and a small number of diners guessed that Jiang Feng was not in the store and didn't care.

It was not the first time that Jiang Feng was not in the store. He had been away for more than half of this year.

Zhang Qian didn't expect that there was a change of chefs. Zhang Qian thought that today was a rest day and everyone would not work, so she was a little disappointed and ordered a few random dishes, including French-style pan-fried veal.

After ordering two dishes, Zhang Qian handed the tablet to Liu Qian. Liu Qian did not order the dishes as normal as Zhang Qian did. She ordered four main dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and four desserts in one go. While ordering, which dishes were cooked by Jiang Feng and the others. She won't be troubled after ordering. In Liu Qian's opinion, as long as she orders enough, she will be able to order the dishes of Jiang Feng and the others.

Little did they know that all the dishes ordered were chef Arnold's.

Zhang Qian was startled by Liu Qian's ordering posture, and then she realized that Liu Qian looked a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, she remembered that Liu Qian was the one called President Jiang Feng on the variety show.

"Are you... the food anchor from the last variety show?" Zhang Qian asked tentatively.

"Yes." Liu Qian nodded, "I have long wanted to come to support the business of our president's store, but I have been very busy for the past two weeks, so I have time to go out for dinner today."

Zhang Qian smiled: "I am also here to support the business of Taifeng Building, but I may not be able to support it today. They should be resting and not going to work today."

"How do you know?" Liu Qian was puzzled.

"You can tell from the menu that neither Jiang Feng's signature dish nor the main dish is available. Obviously, the main chef is not here."

Liu Qian suddenly said: "You are so amazing, you can actually see it from the menu."

"Because my dad is also a chef, so I know a little bit."

Hearing what Zhang Qian said, Liu Qian stared at Zhang Qian for a long time, and the more she looked, the more she felt as if she had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for a long time, she asked uncertainly, "Did you participate in a cooking competition with our president before?" The player who cooks porridge."

Zhang Qian didn't expect Liu Qian to know herself, and she generously admitted: "Yes, it's me."

"I was watching the competition live. At that time, I felt that your cooking skills are also very good. You are the youngest. The dishes look delicious, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to taste them." Liu Qian started business They boasted to each other, "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect to be at the same table as you."

As Liu Qian said, she took out her mobile phone: "That's it, I took a photo of the two of us and I sent it to the president. He must be very surprised!"

Zhang Qian agreed, took a group photo with Liu Qian, and added WeChat to each other.

"Oh, by the way, did you go to university in Peking?" Liu Qian remembered that Zhang Qian seemed to be a high school student when she participated in the competition.

"Yes." Zhang Qian nodded, "I'm learning Chinese."

"Wow, that's really a coincidence. I also learn Chinese." Liu Qian exclaimed, and began to communicate with Zhang Qian in depth, chatting about some things.

Maybe it was because the two were really destined to each other, and they had a good chat, Zhang Qian really told Liu Qian a lot of things. Both of them were talking about the current situation, Liu Qian was talking about the internship, and Zhang Qian was talking about the admission, which happened to be the two stages of university, the beginning and the end.

"Actually, our major is not as easy to find a job as some engineering majors, but it's not that difficult to find a job. Have you thought about what job you want to do in the future?" In just ten minutes, the topic of the two people's chat has risen When it comes to future work, imagining the future is about dreams.

Zhang Qian shook her head: "I don't know, and I didn't report in Chinese at the beginning, so I didn't have enough points to be transferred."

Zhang Qian thought for a while and said with a smile, "I want to do what I like."

"what do you like?"

"I like to cook porridge."

"Then you can open a porridge shop. I think the porridge shop is very good, and the air conditioner is good enough for business." Liu Qian was talking about the porridge shop she saw Jiang Feng chose in the snack street, "I think The porridge is very good, and the porridge cooked by our house chief is very delicious."

"Yes." Zhang Qian nodded in agreement, "The porridge he cooks is really delicious."

When the food was served, the two stopped chatting. Liu Qian ate too much food slowly. Zhang Qian obviously had something to do in the afternoon, so she transferred her food money to Liu Qian and left first. The two made an appointment if they had time next week. Then come to Taifeng Building to share a table for dinner.

After dinner, Liu Qian posted the photo and sent it to Jiang Feng with a smaller face.

Liu Qian: President, I came to your restaurant for dinner today to support your business. Guess who I met when I shared a table? ~\\(≧▽≦)/~

Liu Qian: [picture]

Liu Qian: [picture]

Liu Qian: I gave all of them good reviews!

The first picture is a photo of her and Zhang Qian, and the second picture is the checkout list.

When Liu Qian sent Jiang Feng a wechat message, Jiang Feng's business at noon had just ended, and he saw the message from Liu Qian immediately.

Jiang Feng froze when he saw the photo.

Liu Qian and Zhang Qian.

How did these two get together.

Then Jiang Feng saw the picture of the second bill.

Dinghu Shangsu, Black Forest Cake, French Pan-fried Veal Steak, Saffron Chicken...

Damn, it's all chef Arnold's dishes.

Jiang Feng silently gave Liu Qian an emoji.

Jiang Feng: ('?Dish?')

Liu Qian:?

Did the president send the wrong emoji?

Should she share her emoji with the president?
