Extra 2: Season and Summer (End)

Since Xia Xia went to Zhiweiju to study the white case, he rarely met with the people of Taifeng Building.

Except for the wedding of Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi, when everyone gathered, Xia Xia was always absent from the rest of the party.

A video call every day is essential, but a video call is a video call after all, and as Ji Xia becomes more and more valued by the masters of the white case, the time to talk to everyone is getting shorter and shorter. From the first half an hour a day, to 20 minutes a day, to more than 10 minutes, and the last three to five minutes. Sometimes there are a lot of people on Jiang Feng's side, and there is not enough time for one person to say a couple of sentences, so he can only let Xia Xia say that he has to hang up the phone because the meal is finished.

Despite this, although many people don't quite remember what Xia Xia loved to eat and what she looked like when she first came to Taifeng Building, everyone still pays attention to Xia Xia.

She's just too dazzling.

You don't need to rely on daily video calls, just pay attention to the major domestic events related to white cases, and you can know how much Xia Xia has improved over the years.

It is really difficult not to be outstanding, it is difficult not to be brilliant in such a white case genius, and it is difficult not to shock the world without being taught by a famous teacher in a good environment.

Nine years after Ji Xia left Taifeng Building-

Jiang Feng had just arrived at the store when he saw a group of people gathered around reading e-magazines on a tablet, and leaned up to see what they were reading.

Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Zhang Qian hurriedly gave him a slit: "Master, senior sister, she has won the award again." ”

"What award?"

"See for yourself. Ji Yue handed the tablet to Jiang Feng and began to bury Jiang Feng, "Xia Xia participated in such an important competition, you don't care if you are his master or not. ”

"Xia Xia participates in so many competitions in a year, how can I always care. Eh, this isn't the highest-level white case competition in China, I was negligent, Lao Sun and Master Sun just left two days ago, and I really didn't pay much attention to this. Jiang Feng immediately realized his mistake.

Xia Xia has been a participating maniac over the years, and he can participate in seven or eight large and small white case competitions a year, and he chooses the ones with high prizes.

"Tut-tut. Ji Yue could only use a sip to express his disgust.

"Tsk, Xia Xia even won the gold medal in this competition, and Lao Sun also went back to reopen the Jubao Building, let's point to you and Lao Zhang to bring us some new melons now." Jiang Feng decided to lead the trouble.

Ji Yue was suddenly vigilant: "What new melon? What new melon can Lao Zhang and I have? Unless one of the two of us cheats, you see which of the two of us has the potential to cheat." Otherwise, I'll go now, as the second heir of my dignified Ji's pickles, and wrap a few handsome little fresh meat to cheat and make everyone happy. ”

"Come on, return the identity of the second heir of Ji's pickles, the identity of the first heir in line to you, do you dare to ask for it?" Jiang Feng looked down at the magazine.

Having said that, Ji Yue really didn't dare to ask for the identity of the first heir of Ji's pickles.

Over the years, with the successful mass production, listing and nationwide promotion of Ji's pickles, not only have their own franchise stores that sell well offline, but also sell well online, and Ji Yue has successfully jumped from a poor Ji pigeon to the richest rich woman in Taifeng Lou after the Sun family.

Her mother wanted her to go back to inherit the family business, because her brother didn't want to.

Who would have thought that Ji's pickles, which have an annual income of more than 100 million yuan, are unwilling to go home to inherit the family property.

Ji Yue is willing to let her mother not control her, just forget it if she doesn't want to. Ji Qiran didn't want to, but he couldn't help it, Ji's mother gave Ji Qiran an ultimatum, he must choose between marriage and inheriting the family business, otherwise he will lose his living expenses. So Ji Qiran resolutely chose to inherit the family business, and went home to learn pickles with Ji's mother and Ji's grandmother, from a handsome and handsome programmer with little hair to a pickle master who soaked in a pickle jar with little hair.

What does this mean?

illustrates the importance of economic independence.

Ji Yue is now the new leader of Taifeng Building's service industry, and her monthly salary is close to six figures, saying that if she doesn't go home to inherit the family business, she won't go home to inherit the family business.

Of course, this is all off-topic, and since there are so many digressions, it is better to say a little more.

With the rise of the domestic catering industry in recent years, it may be that Taifeng Building's high turnover year by year makes others look hot, or it may be that the courtyard near the Li family, where the Jiang family lives now, makes peers look jealous. Countless capitals have poured into the Chinese food market, and many new cooking competitions with generous prizes have been added.

Under such a general trend, not only the red case is blooming everywhere, but even the white case, which has always been unpopular and only knows the taste of living and is struggling to support it, has also prospered.

Eventually, Gul followed the same path he had said, restoring the white case dim sum that had long been lost in ancient books. It's just that his path is much smoother than others imagined, and he has been very successful.

Xu Cheng used to be not optimistic about Gu Li because he felt that Gu Li had been following the path of others, even restoring dim sum in ancient books was his master's old way.

No one thought that Gul would really find a path of his own on the road of recovery.

He recreated the same dim sum as the one in the book according to the ancient books, and then improved it according to the new methods added later, adding different ingredients, and developing new flavors or more palatable snacks while maintaining the same general tone.

Hit the jackpot.

Four years ago, celebrity chefs ranked 57th in the Gullet, a very ordinary ranking, which is already considered good among white case chefs. In the past four years, Guli has not stopped the pace of restoration and improvement, and its influence has expanded step by step, and even in Southeast Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, there are many loyal fans of his dim sum.

Everyone speculates that this year's celebrity chef ranking Gu Li will definitely squeeze into the top 30, and may even rank in the top 20, setting a new record for the highest ranking of white case chefs in the national record.

To this day, when someone mentions the cooking competition a few years ago when Gu Li was the first, Jiang Feng was the second, Zhang Guanghang was the third, and Wu Minqi was the fourth, no one would chew their tongues behind their backs and say that Gu Li's first place was not worthy of the truth, why did he beat Jiang Feng.

Those who used to chew the root of Guli's tongue back then, except for Sun Jikai, who has been frustrated and depressed for 30 years in Hedong and Hexi for 30 years, and has risen up to catch up with the road to the end, the others have long been forgotten by everyone, and even their names have been forgotten by everyone.

Zhao Shanzhi and his ilk have long been forgotten by everyone.

Does anyone still know who Zhao Shan is when it comes to him now? Ling Guangzhao may still have a little impression, after all, this is his former employee, but he has already been fired by him.

Babaozhai is now also a restaurant with a head and face in Beiping City, and it has great requirements for the quality of chefs.

"I didn't expect Xia Xia to be able to win the championship in this kind of competition. Although Jiang Feng is half a layman on the white case, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about these domestic cooking competitions.

The Good Taste Cooking Competition is held year after year, and he will give Boss Han face as a judge every year, and Xu Cheng also generously took the interview with "Zhiwei" as a champion gimmick, resulting in the Good Taste Cooking Competition becoming recognized as the highest level cooking competition in China.

Of course, this cooking contest is biased towards the red case.

There are also cooking competitions specially held for white case chefs, such as Xia Xia's award-winning one, which has been newly established in recent years, and has only reached the fourth session.

The history is not rich enough, but it has a lot of influence, because this is the highest prize money in the pure white case chef competition, and many white case masters who are short of money will also join in the fun.

Not every chef is as rich as the chef of Taifeng Building, like Roland, who owes a huge amount of money for some reason, and has worked miserably for seven years in the top-floor restaurant to pay off his debts and leave, and there are not a few part-time workers who return to their old clubs to continue to be chefs.

"That's not it, our Xia Xia is a genius, this kind of competition is a little case!" Ji Yue was honored, and those who didn't know thought that Xia Xia was his apprentice.

Jiang Feng was still reading the magazine, so Ji Yue gave him spoilers first.

"Guess what Xia Xia won the championship dim sum did?"

"What?" Jiang Feng asked, but his eyes had already swept to it, "Fresh meat mooncakes." It's not surprising that although fresh meat mooncakes are common, they actually require a lot of skill and skill, and it's hard to do them very well, and it's normal to win the championship with this dish, what's wrong?"

"You go down and interview that one after the game. ”

Let's look down, and the first thing we see is the picture of Xia Xia winning the championship.

A noble and cold face that is not inferior to Wu Minqi's back then, I don't know if it was nervous or what, there was no smile on his face, his expression looked a little serious, and he felt like a big man.

Compared with Wu Minqi's domineering president-style boss, Xia Xia is more like the arrogance from the flower of Kaolin because of her appearance.

Even though he had already realized that his big apprentice was not the Ji Xia kid who only knew silly music back then, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart the magic of time.

Time has made him, a big apprentice, almost become the leader of the white case world.

Jiang Feng saw Xia Xia's post-game interview.

It's a video.

There are a lot of e-magazines.

Reporter: "Master Ji, is it convenient to ask? Why did you choose fresh meat mooncakes as the participating dishes in the finals of this competition? You have never chosen fresh meat mooncakes as the participating dishes before, what is the meaning of choosing this dish before the Mid-Autumn Festival this time?"

Ji Xia: "Because this is the dish that my master taught me." ”

Reporter: "Oh, I see, can I ask which master of Yongheju is it?"

Ji Xia shook his head: "It's not the master of Yongheju, it's the only master I worship, Master Jiang Feng of Taifeng Building." ”

Jiang Feng was stunned, and the reporter in the video was also stunned.

"Master Jiang Feng of Taifeng Building? But we haven't heard that Master Jiang has taken in apprentices recently, and Master Jiang doesn't seem to be very good at white cases, Master Ji, can you tell us a little bit about what the situation is?" The reporter quickly reacted and realized that this was a shocking melon.

People in the culinary circle who met Jiang Feng relatively early basically knew that Ji Xia was Jiang Feng's apprentice, and he had just gone to Yonghe Ju to learn art instead of apprenticeship over the years, but people outside the circle didn't know.

Jiang Feng and Ji Xia never talked about this matter to the outside world, mainly because they didn't have a chance to talk about it, Jiang Feng was famous for not being good at white cases, and no one would associate him with Ji Xia.

If Xia Xia had become famous a few years earlier, there might have been careful reporters to talk about her past. But she is actually really famous in the past two years, and the celebrity chef list has not been on the list, because of the appearance of a kaolin flower and the amazing competition record, it has become popular in the culinary industry, and there are even some fires out of the circle.

At this stage, the direction of reporters' digging is only Xia Xia's emotional experience, which is a kind of lace news, and some unscrupulous reporters noticed that Xia Xia had a bad relationship with her parents and wanted to make a big fuss about it, but they were pressed down by the Jiang family, who had been paying close attention to such trends.

News reports are OK, lace news is OK, but the direction of the report must be positive, even if it is lace news, it must be a beautiful and moving summer, otherwise the Jiang family, Xu Cheng and Boss Han are the first to refuse.

Xu Cheng has acquired a lot of magazines and periodicals related to food tourism in recent years, which can be regarded as dominating the food print media industry, although the current ones are basically electronic journals.

"No, I have been worshipping Master eleven years ago. Ji Xia in the video looked blank, but in Jiang Feng's opinion, he was a little nervous, so his facial expression was out of control and he looked very indifferent.

Jiang Feng suddenly remembered what Xia Xia had said to him during that New Year's greeting.

"I also want to become as good as you, I want to be your apprentice, worthy of being the senior sister of my junior sister. ”

So now Xia Xia thinks, she did it, right?

"So Master Ji, what you mean is that the fresh meat mooncakes were taught to you by Master Jiang Feng eleven years ago, not by these masters in Yongheju. The reporter got to the point.

"That's right. Ji Xia nodded and suddenly looked at the camera, "I have been practicing fresh meat mooncakes all these years, and I have been practicing every day, without a single break." ”

Jiang Feng looked at the tablet and smiled.

He returned the tablet to Ji Yue.

"Attention, congratulations to the player for completing the [Suzhou-style mooncake (fresh meat) B-level] and upgrading to [Suzhou-style mooncake (fresh meat) S-level], please go to the recipe bar to view the corresponding tutorial. ”

The sudden sound of the game prompt really startled Jiang Feng, and the whole person trembled.

To be honest, over the years, the game has become more and more like a tool to assist Jiang Feng in checking the finished product, although the buff dishes are good, Jiang Feng's other dishes are not bad. Except for the fact that this skill is very useful, the rest of the game is already very intense for Jiang Feng.

And since the end of the final known as the Battle of the Century, Jiang Feng has never received any tasks issued by the game, whether it is the main line, the branch or the hidden.

Now the only task left in the task bar is [Big Flower's Wish], and even the tasks related to the thirty-seven letters that Jiang Feng found to be the most difficult were completed last year.

He also read the rest of the memories that he hadn't seen, and his current strength, there was no recipe from his memory that could make him feel amazing and challenging, even if it was Jiang Chengde's.

To this day, Jiang Feng can be very proud and not pretend to say that he will surpass Jiang Chengde one day, he may have surpassed, or he may be in the future, he will.

"Why are you so surprised?" Ji Yue was startled by Jiang Feng's tremor.

"It's nothing, I'll go to the bathroom, you see. Jiang Feng slipped away.

Ji Yue: ?

If she remembered correctly, Jiang Feng hadn't run through the toilet in such a hurry for many years.

Do you want to remind Qiqi and let her take Jiang Feng to the hospital for a check-up, I'm afraid that something is wrong with this person who is over thirty.

Jiang Feng slipped into the toilet, clicked on the attribute panel after a long absence, and only reacted to what was going on after seeing the relevant prompts for advanced dishes.

There are two recipes for Suzhou-style mooncakes, one is fresh meat and the other is pretzel. Jiang Feng has been involved in the white case over the years, and the most he has involved in the white case is to make fried noodles and egg noodles, and the difficult challenge of fresh meat mooncakes has never been involved, so that he forgot that these two recipes can be upgraded.

There are two upgrade conditions, making this dish more than 10,000 times and making A-grade finished products more than 100 times.

The number of times the apprentice cooks can be shared by the master, Jiang Feng has not made fresh meat mooncakes in these years, and he has made them less than ten times after getting the recipe.

This means that Xia Xia has made more than 9,990 fresh meat mooncakes in the past nine years.

On average, more than a thousand times a year, three times a day.

Add to that the basic practice and normal business, and that's a pretty scary number.

And Xia Xia will make fresh meat mooncakes every day unremittingly, just because this dish was taught to her by Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng silently closed the attribute panel, only to feel that his nose was a little sore, and there seemed to be something in his eyes that blurred his vision.

Jiang Feng took out his mobile phone and called Xia Xia.

It wasn't the agreed call time, but he couldn't manage that much.

"Hey, Master. Xia Xia answered the phone as soon as possible.

"Xia Xia, where are you now?"

"I'm on the high-speed train, I just finished the race yesterday, and I took the high-speed train back to work today. Xia Xia said.

"I saw your game report today, congratulations on winning the championship, our Xia Xia is really different now, and they all have some master style. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Of course, my sister was in the top 80 of the celebrity chef record last time, and Master, you are now the first in the celebrity chef record, of course I can't embarrass my master and sister. Ji Xia said happily, "I will definitely be able to enter the celebrity chef list this year, and I will definitely be ranked in the top 60!"

"I saw your post-match interview as well. ”

Xia Xia suddenly fell silent.

"We all want to try the fresh meat mooncakes you made, and we want to know what the gold award-winning mooncakes taste. ”

Xia Xia still didn't speak.

"You're already excellent, Xia Xia, come back. ”

"Good. ”

The voice on the other end was choked, and it was still the same as when I was a child.
