Life is a Game

The first week of the second round of the points race was very peaceful. Even the test on Sunday was very simple. Instead of the previous torturous route style, it became pead love. It was just a simple test of taste.

The test mode is a bit similar to the test mode of the Good Taste Cooking Competition that Jiang Feng participated in. Two cups of fruit and vegetable juice, each cup is squeezed from 15 different fruits and vegetables, and one ingredient gets 100 points for a correct answer. 200 points will be deducted, 30 kinds of ingredients must be filled in, less filling will count as wrong answers.

Due to the inherent advantages, Taifenglou's competition this week was so smooth that Jiang Feng didn't want to cheat during the test. He closed his eyes throughout the tasting just to avoid reading the prompts above.

Relying on their own strength, Taifenglou's group answered 27 kinds of materials correctly and answered three wrongly, with a total score of 2100 points.

In the third week, Taifeng Building finally scored 7413 points, still ranking first in the overall standings.

Due to the severe acclimatization of Zhiweiju, the points this week were very dismal, and the four dishes designated by Babaozhai failed to complete the task of selling a total of 100 dishes and receiving 50 positive reviews, and deducted 2,000. Although Zhiweiju still ranks second in terms of total points, there is only a difference of less than 2,000 points between him and the restaurant on the top floor. According to his posture, he will definitely be overtaken by the restaurant on the top floor in the fourth week.

The restaurant on the top floor unexpectedly completed the task without deducting 2,000 points. According to the report from the informant, Roland is unexpectedly good at Cantonese cuisine, and Dinghu Shangsu cooks it very authentically. Although it is not as good as Sun Maocaidan, most diners have gained A lot of praise.

It can only be said that you never know what a French chef is good at besides French cuisine.

Like Zhiweiju, Babaozhai and Chengji Restaurant were deducted 2,000 points for failing to complete the task. The attitude score of caring is dismal. The owner of Cheng Ji Restaurant is also quite indifferent, because Cheng Ji Restaurant is the weakest among the seven restaurants, and it is normal to be the last one.

Yongheju, which had been performing poorly before, was in good condition. Not only did it complete the tasks, but it also had impressive points in terms of management and test points. It ranked third this week, once again stepping on Babaozhai's footsteps.

At this point in the competition, the two qualifying restaurants are already very obvious.

Unless there is a restaurant that can turn around like Taifeng Building in the previous two weeks, the two restaurants that will appear must be Taifeng Building and the top restaurant. And judging from the current points situation, even if a dark horse restaurant turns out in the last week, it will be a top-level restaurant. The program team will never allow such a thing to happen, so there will be no dark horse.

There was no suspense in the game, which made the points race in the last week very boring and very pedo love.

It seems that this is not a reality show competitive cooking show, but a reality show casual eating show. It has been a month since the competition, and everyone is very used to the atmosphere of the competition, and they are getting less and less like the competition. Even if they are not in their own restaurant, the status is not the same as when they were in normal business. Even if there is a cameraman next to them reminding them that this is a reality show, everyone still can't help but feel that they are just going to work to cope with tasks when they are cooking.

Jiang Feng even started to ask Peng Changping about cooking in his spare time, apparently returning to the state he had been learning cooking in Yongheju a few months ago.

Of course, the clip where Jiang Feng asks Peng Changping to be called cannot be broadcast, but it is all cooking secrets.

It may be that the program team also realized that the last two weeks of the game were a bit mediocre, with no special material, except that Zhiweiju, which has always been very fierce in the third week, suffered a serious setback and a serious drop in points, and the second was about to change hands. point of broadcast.

Everyone is cooking, managing, and doing what a chef should do.

Chef Arnold doesn't say shit anymore.

What they originally designed should be very interesting, very conflicting, very explosive, and very interesting, but it has become plain and warm.

This is not what the program group wants to see.

What they want to see is conflict, tearing, irritability, collapse, cursing, crying, and laughing.

Rather than civilization, democracy, prosperity, harmony, friendliness, dedication, and dedication.

After several days of urgent discussions and meetings, the program team decided to make a more interesting one based on the premise that the ending cannot be changed. It may not necessarily cause conflict, but there may be conflict, and it may not necessarily conflict, but in case of conflict tested.

They brought together contestants from seven restaurants.

At the end of the points race, have a real cooking competition.

Jiang Feng was completely confused by the program group's impromptu operation.

He originally thought that the last week of the test should be passed by just messing around with it. Anyway, no matter what you do, it is impossible to change the final outcome. He asked the staff before that there will be a rest period of about 20 days after the points race, and then the semi-finals and finals will start.

He has already made plans for the next month. If the program team tells him that he is sorry but you still have to prepare, we still have a little hot spot.

Because it is a Sino-US chef competition, the final semi-finals and finals are all set in Beiping, and the contestants from the US side have to travel across the ocean, and a series of procedures such as visas and accommodations will take time.

According to the original setting of the program group, the finals will be broadcast live. The American side will be broadcast live on TV and the Chinese side will be broadcast live on the Internet. It was originally discussed, but it seems that there is something wrong with the US side, and the finals and semi-finals are expected to be postponed.

During the empty window in the middle, Jiang Feng was going to stay in Yongheju to continue learning Jiang's ginseng soup with Peng Changping, trying to improve it and refine it, leaving the other dishes alone.

It doesn't matter what memory or buff dish it is.

Although Jiang's ginseng soup is a dish in the menu bar, it does not have any buffs. There is a certain difference between Jiang Zhongheng's method and Peng Changping's method. Peng Changping's approach was improved on the basis of Jiang Chengde's improvement of Jiang Zhongheng's approach, but this does not mean that Peng Changping's approach is better than Jiang Zhongheng's.

The improvement of the method is due to the kitchen utensils and the chef's own habits. Every chef is good at different points. Some chefs are good at knife skills, some chefs have a keen sense of taste and are good at seasoning, and some chefs have a superhuman intuition when it comes to heat. Just like Jiang Feng, he is one of the three masters, and his weakest point is seasoning, because his sense of taste is relatively poor compared to other masters.

This is an inherent problem and there is no way to change it.

Even though Jiang Feng has a game, he can see many things that his tongue can't taste through identification, but for the chef, the most intuitive, convenient and useful way to experience and improve is his own tongue.

Jiang Feng's best skill is actually knife skills.

But most of the top dishes focused on seasoning, and it was difficult for Jiang Feng to give full play to his advantages. When it comes to top-notch dishes for teaching knife skills, most people think of Vance Tofu at the first time, but even Vance Tofu Knife Knife is just a part of showing off skills. If you really want to eat delicious Vance Tofu, you still have to watch the heat and seasoning.

However, it was completely dependent on knife skills, but it was a pity that Jiang Feng didn't like raw food and didn't want to develop in this area.

During the two weeks of working as a freelancer in Yongheju, Jiang Feng discovered the real charm or uniqueness of the chef in Yongheju.

Previously, he was studying cooking in Yongheju. Although he was very familiar with everyone, he did his own thing during business hours. The management model has only been seen but not experienced.

After two weeks of experience, Jiang Feng realized why Lu Sheng dared to say that Yongheju was the uncrowned king of Beiping when he was bragging with him.

Truly the uncrowned king.

The coordination between each chef is great.

Yongheju is different from other established restaurants, its chefs are basically not mobile. Yongheju trains a chef from scratch, from basic skills training to learning how to cook, as long as there is no accident, the chef's entire career as a chef is spent in Yongheju. Even the old chefs who are not from the Tan family cuisine are all old employees who have worked in the restaurant for 20 or 30 years. Now there are very few old employees in Yongheju, and all the junior employees are brothers.

Because they are from the same door, they know each other very well.

Everyone in the kitchen knows everything about everyone else, from major culinary flaws to minor cooking habits. Assign everyone what they are best at, let them do their best in what they are best at, and use countless best to make a best dish, which is the best dish that Yongheju chefs can give guests.

This idea was left by Peng Changping back then.

Peng Changping believes that a chef does not need to practice every skill well. He only needs to be excellent in one skill and qualified in other skills to be an excellent chef. Then this excellent chef only needs to do his best to show his own characteristics, his own advantages, and his own uniqueness when cooking, and make the dishes his own.

This is not the first time Jiang Feng has heard of this concept. Xu Cheng is actually a supporter of this concept, which is why Xu Cheng appreciates Wu Minqi but not Gu Li.

Even though Wu Minqi's spicy dishes haven't been mastered or even accomplished yet, she has her own style. Correspondingly, even though Gu Li looks mature in style, he has been imitating his master and cannot see his own style.

Jiang Feng understood the truth, but the two weeks of Bai Gong in Yongheju made him see the truth become reality for the first time.

Very useful and heartwarming.

Jiang Feng knew very well that he had been imitating.

He has been learning other people's dishes according to the game's recipes and tutorials, 100% copying, at first for the buff, and later because he got used to it. And he thinks that the tutorial given by the game is fine, and there is no need to make any changes, whether it is chickpea flower or shredded yam, because these buffs can make the dishes themselves even better.

His dishes seem to have different styles and weird cuisines, but it's just because they are not the same person's dishes, so of course the styles will change.

In a sense, he and Guli are the same, they are all imitating, but Guli firmly imitates his master, and he imitates many different people at the same time so that others cannot see that he is imitating.

That's good, but it's not good either.

Just like Jiang Feng knew very well that his seasoning was weak, and what really shined was his knives, but he didn't have outstanding knives. Instead, he was famous for his seasoning chickpeas.

Jiang's ginseng soup is obviously the most famous existence in Jiang's cuisine, and it is also an S-level dish, but it has no buffs and does not limit the number of times it can be cooked. It is like an ordinary dish, but it happens to appear in on the menu bar.

Jiang Zhongheng, Jiang Chengde, Peng Changping, the three of them have different production methods, and they all have their own styles.

Jiang Feng had always felt that Jiang's ginseng soup was not as stable as making other dishes. The quality of the final product was always uneven because this dish was too complicated and there were too many mistakes that could be made.

But now he felt that it might not be because of this.

This game never takes the initiative to tell him anything, but always likes to tell him after he finds out, congratulations, you are right when you found out, and only after you found out did you find out that this game gave a very cryptic hint before.

There is no buff and no limit on the number of times to make, which is actually the best hint, but Jiang Feng hadn't realized it before.

Jiang's ginseng soup cannot be imitated blindly.

He needs to make a dish that really has his own style.

A dish that maximizes its strengths and avoids its weaknesses.
