Chapter 813: A Chance Encounter
Sun Maocai and the three of them have actually analyzed almost everything, and they have also selected the dishes they are going to be responsible for. Yongheju mainly focuses on Shandong cuisine, and the dishes of other cuisines are also slightly involved, such as Cantonese cuisine, Subang cuisine, Benbang cuisine and even Southeast Asian cuisine, but they are not very good and the sales are mediocre.
After Jiang Feng read the dishes selected by the three of them, he helped them remove a few that usually had particularly bad sales, but they were just printed on the menu to make up the numbers, even if they were to determine the menu for the next two weeks.
This is the benefit of knowing about the exchange restaurant, if Jiang Feng and the four of them don't know anything about Yongheju, they will definitely step on the thunder in the first two days, and then make adjustments on the menu, so that they will waste a few days of time to brush up on points and fall behind.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the menu was completely set, and Lu Sheng originally wanted to leave Jiang Feng and the four of them for dinner in Yongheju, but today's box had all been booked. During this period of time, variety shows were on the air, and there were many people in Beiping who had watched variety shows, and Jiang Feng and the four of them might not be recognized when they walked on the street alone, but the four of them together would inevitably be recognized by the audience and cause unnecessary trouble.
After weighing up, Lu Sheng led Jiang Feng and the four of them to a fly restaurant in the urban village for dinner.
Although the hygiene of the fly restaurant is not very good, the chef's skills are good, in Wu Minqi's words, it is very Jianghu cuisine, and the main restaurant is also Sichuan cuisine.
Jianghu cuisine with the atmosphere of rivers and lakes, eating in this kind of fly restaurant is more atmospheric than eating in a big restaurant.
Lu Sheng invited the four of them to dinner, in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the other three, Yongheju has no chance to qualify, and he has a good relationship with Taifeng Lou, so there is no need to stumble, and this opportunity to make friends is also excellent.
In the next few days, Jiang Feng and the four of them went to Yongheju every day during non-business hours, and without disturbing the normal operation of Yongheju, they were familiar with other chefs in the back kitchen of Yongheju, and understood the structure of the kitchen and some kitchen utensils. Jiang Feng has no need to be familiar, every time he goes to Yongheju, as long as Peng Changping is there, he will be arrested to show how Jiang's ginseng soup and phoenix eggs are doing, and see if he has wasted his cooking skills because of variety shows during this time.
There was no waste, but there was no progress either.
The rest period between the games belongs to the window period of variety shows, and Yongheju's camera shoots as usual, but there is no photographer to follow. The material program team filmed this week will cut half an hour to broadcast as daily life and post-game recuperation, and Jiang Feng doesn't mind being photographed for many things, anyway, many things can't be filmed.
Tai Fung Building is progressing well, and the restaurant on the top floor is also progressing well. Although Jiang Feng is not in Taifeng Building, Ji Yue, Ji Xia and Comrade Wang Xiulian will enthusiastically convey to him every day what Chef Arnold has done in Taifeng Building today.
On Thursday, Chef Arnold, like Jiang Feng, went to Taifeng Building to determine the menu. The four chefs of Ale contracted all of Zhang Guanghang's menus, which caused Zhang Guanghang to take a long vacation in the next two weeks because he had no dishes to cook.
Zhang Guanghang said that he was very happy about this and booked a ticket back to France to go home to visit relatives.
Jiang Feng felt that visiting relatives was fake, and he didn't want to see Chef Arnold.
In addition to Zhang Guanghang's dishes, the team of Promised Chefs also contracted some desserts and some Cantonese dishes from Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai, and it is clear that some of the four purebred foreign chefs have a taste for Cantonese cuisine.
On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Chef Arnold led his younger brothers to stay in Taifeng Building, and like Jiang Feng and them, they did not affect the normal business of Taifeng Building. During business hours, they don't do anything, they just watch and observe each chef's situation, and during non-business hours, Chef Arnold will use the ingredients and kitchenware from Tai Fung House to make the dishes they finalized on Thursday, making sure that each dish is okay and can be prepared smoothly and co-ordinate.
It can be said that it is quite professional.
As for why the foursome in the top restaurant are called Chef Arnold and his little brother, according to Ji Yue's observation, Chef Arnold is an absolute tyrant in the kitchen, he is very good at commanding people, and he can smoothly transfer the three people commanding the group. 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 team of chefs, but it's not a problem either. Theoretically speaking, the contestants need to cooperate with the chef in the back kitchen of the other party's restaurant when they exchange to the other party's restaurant, and Jiang Feng and the four of them took this path. They are familiar with the chefs of Yongheju these days, so that they can be familiar with their methods and habits, so that they can better cooperate with them when they operate.
Chef Arnold took a different route, he also cooperated, but not with the chef in Taifeng Building, but let his three younger brothers cooperate with him.
According to an informant, Arnold's way of cooking is also very useful. With three excellent and familiar little brothers, Chef Arnold can produce dishes quickly and of high quality without the help of other chefs in Tai Fung Building. The only downside is that four chefs have become one and a half, and Roland is also half a chef.
However, their problem is that they don't understand the language and communicate inconveniently, so it is a good way to choose not to communicate.
Everyone is gearing up for the second round, whether they are expected to qualify or not, but attitude is even more important when the result looks like a foregone conclusion.
Even if it is destined to lose, as long as you lose with an attitude, you will still be honored.
With such a positive attitude and progress, the second round began.
At this time, diners did not realize that the chef of their favorite restaurant had quietly changed. Some guests who watched the variety show and deliberately ran to support their favorite restaurant did not realize that they may not be supporting their favorite chef.
They are enemies.
For example, Liu Qian and Zhang Qian, they ran to Taifeng Building under a very inopportune situation to invest in the enemy, and they are still the enemies of Taifeng Building's rival in the restaurant on the top floor.
In fact, they can't be blamed, because variety shows need a series of problems such as editing and review, there is a large 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 team used real money to tell the audience how awesome the chef they invited was before it became really popular. Liu Qian, as a direct beneficiary, reacted as soon as the show was broadcast and became popular, it turned out that Jiang Jiangfeng's variety show they recorded that day was a competition, and the competition lasted for a long time, and it is estimated that it is still competing.
She really wanted to go to Taifeng Building to support Jiang Feng's figure immediately, but she had just interned and had not started a lot of work yet, and she was so busy in the first two weeks that she couldn't even spare time on her rest days. It wasn't until the second round started for almost a week, and on Saturday, did I find time to run to Tai Fung House for dinner.
Then he bumped into Zhang Qian, who also had time to go to Taifeng Building to eat and support Jiang Feng because school was not in class on the weekend.
Zhang Qian originally wanted to bring her roommates along, but last time Jiang Feng's pure meat wontons were too influential, and her three good roommates were eaten out of the psychological shadow, and she refused to come, causing her to come alone.
Taifeng Building's business is booming, Zhang Qian and Liu Qian came late and they were both alone, but there was only one table for four people left, so the waiter suggested that they share the table, and the two readily agreed.
Liu Qian hadn't come to Taifeng Building to eat before and didn't know the menu, so don't let Zhang Qian order first. In fact, these two have met for a long time, after the good taste cooking competition, Liu Qian saw her when Zhang Qian went to the normal stir-fry restaurant to eat, but there were only a few sides, and after so long, the two couldn't remember who the other party was.
As soon as Zhang Qian began to order, she noticed that the menu was not quite right.
Her father is also a chef and the head chef of a big hotel, Zhang Qian knew as soon as she looked at the menu that Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were not at work today.
In order to prevent diners from seeing that the chef has been transferred, Taifeng Building's menu has also been tactically adjusted, canceling the way of ordering by chef and changing to a traditional order by dish, claiming that there is something wrong with the system and is being adjusted and debugged, and all limited dishes are temporarily canceled.
In these years, no matter what system can go wrong, most of the diners haven't noticed any clues for the time being, and a small number of diners guessed that Jiang Feng was not in the store and didn't care.
It's not the first time Jiang Feng hasn't been in the store, he's been out of the store for most of the year this year.
Zhang Qian didn't expect that it was a change of chefs, Zhang Qian thought that today was a rest day, and everyone didn't work, so she was a little disappointed and ordered a few dishes casually, including French fried veal.
After ordering two dishes, Zhang Qian handed the tablet to Liu Qian, Liu Qian didn't order as normal as Zhang Qian, and ordered four big dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and four desserts in one go. She won't be distressed when she clicks on the back, in Liu Qian's opinion, as long as she orders enough, she will definitely be able to order Jiang Feng's four people's dishes.
As everyone knows, all the dishes ordered are Chef Arnold's dishes.
Liu Qian's ordering posture scared Zhang Qian, and then she found that Liu Qian seemed to look a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that Liu Qian was the one named President Jiang Feng in the variety show.
"You're... Is that the food anchor that was broadcast in the last variety show?" asked Zhang Qian tentatively.
"yes. Liu Qian nodded, "I've wanted to support the business of our president's store for a long time, but the past two weeks have been quite busy, so I only have time to come out to eat today." โ
Zhang Qian smiled: "I'm also here to support the business of Taifeng Building, but I may not be able to support it today, they should be resting today and not going to work." โ
"How do you know?" Liu Qian was puzzled.
"You can tell from the menu that Jiang Feng's signature dishes and main dishes are not there, and it is obvious that the main chef is not there. โ
Liu Qian suddenly said: "You are so amazing, you can actually see it from the menu." โ
"Because my dad is also a chef, I know a little bit about it. โ
Hearing Zhang Qian say this, Liu Qian stared at Zhang Qian for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt as if she had seen it somewhere, and after thinking for a long time, she asked uncertainly: "Are you the contestant who participated in the cooking competition with our president to cook porridge before?" โ
Zhang Qian didn't expect Liu Qian to know herself, and generously admitted: "Yes, it's me." โ
"I was watching the competition at the time, and I thought that you are actually very good at cooking, you are the youngest, and the food you cook looks very delicious, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to taste it. Liu Qian began to blow to each other, "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect the table to be at the same table with you." โ
Saying that, Liu Qian took out her mobile phone: "That's it, I will take a photo of the two of us and send it to the president, he must be surprised!"
Zhang Qian agreed, took a group photo with Liu Qian, and added WeChat to each other.
"By the way, are you in college in Beiping?" Liu Qian remembered that Zhang Qian seemed to be a high school student when she participated in the competition.
"Yes. Zhang Qian nodded, "I studied Chinese." โ
"Wow, that's really a coincidence, I also learn Chinese. Liu Qian exclaimed and began to have an in-depth exchange with Zhang Qian, chatting about some things that were not available.
may be because the two are really destined and have a good chat, Zhang Qian really told Liu Qian a lot of things. The two of them are talking about the current situation, Liu Qian is talking about internship, and Zhang Qian is talking about enrollment, which happens to be the two stages of the university.
"In fact, our major is really not as easy to find a job as some engineering majors, but it is not so difficult to find, have you thought about what work you want to do in the future?" In just ten minutes, the topic of the conversation between the two people has risen to the future work, which is a dream of imagining the future.
Zhang Qian shook her head: "I don't know, and what I reported at the beginning was not in Chinese, because the score was not enough to be transferred." โ
Zhang Qian thought for a while and said with a smile: "I want to do what I like." โ
"What do you like?"
"I like to cook porridge. โ
"Then you can open a porridge shop, I think the porridge shop is very good, the air conditioning is sufficient, and the business is good. What Liu Qian said was exactly the porridge shop that Jiang Feng chose that she saw in the snack street, "I think the porridge is very good, and the porridge cooked by our dormitory chief is very delicious." โ
"Yes. Zhang Qian nodded in agreement, "The porridge he cooks is really delicious." โ
When the food was served, the two stopped chatting, Liu Qian ate more and ate slowly, Zhang Qian obviously had something to do in the afternoon, so she transferred her food money to Liu Qian and left first, and the two also agreed to come to Taifeng Building to eat together if they had time next week.
After eating, Liu Qian p-the photo and sent it to Jiang Feng with a little smaller face.
Liu Qian: President, I came to your store today to eat to support your business, guess who I met when I shared the table?~\(โงโฝโฆ)/~
Liu Qian: [Picture]
Liu Qian: [Picture]
Liu Qian: I gave all the praise!
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 WeChat, Jiang Feng happened to end the noon business, and saw the message from Liu Qian for the first time.
Jiang Feng was stunned 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 checkout.
Dinghu vegetarian, Black Forest cake, French pan-fried veal steak, chicken Safro......
Damn, it's all Chef Arnold's dishes.
Jiang Feng silently gave Liu Qian an expression.
Jiang Feng: (???? Dish?? ๏ฝ)
Liu Qian: ?
Did the president send the wrong expression?
Does she want to share her memes with the president?
