I don't know why, Jiang Feng suddenly had a feeling that the Fantasy Immortal Cultivator had beaten the small and the old. But the problem now is that they haven't played the small ones yet, and the old ones are coming, which is simply not playing according to the routine.

Even if Jiang Feng had never paid serious attention to who was in the top ten of the celebrity chef list before, and he didn't know who Chef Arnold was, but Chef Arnold, as the only active contestant in the top ten of the celebrity chef record, Jiang Feng, who had been hanging all year round, now wanted to report the opening of the top restaurant.

After arriving at Taifeng Building, Jiang Feng spent almost twenty minutes reading all the news, gossip, encyclopedias, and reviews and evaluations of professionals who came out of nowhere that he could search for with his mobile phone.

Chef Arnold is actually an Internet celebrity chef.

Unlike most fake influencers on the market, Chef Arnold is a real influencer because he has been popular for many years.

This bearded, burly, slightly fierce-looking, took off his chef's uniform and changed his outfit to say that he is a domineering chef who is believed by the mafia, and once participated in a cooking reality show many years ago. In that reality show, Chef Arnold has a short temper, likes to scold, likes to hurt people, likes to scare people, sneers at his peers and shows no mercy to his juniors, is a little cautious and very grudgeful, and he can't win against him even with the female judges in the show, but he is a good chef.

Because of his outstanding performance in reality TV, this native American chef became popular all over the United States at a time when the Internet was not very developed, and everyone knew about it.

Later, although Chef Arnold kept a lot of low-key, like all other top chefs, he took root in the restaurant, occasionally participated in some cooking competitions and won the championship, and lived an unpretentious and boring life. However, because his variety show back then was so popular, many amateur guests of reality shows later tried in vain to copy his road to fame, and embarked on the road of no return.

But the others tear up and force it to be as natural and handy as Chef Arnold, if there is divine help, people always feel a little worse and a little less feeling. So much so that whenever there is a new large-scale tearing reality show, newspapers and magazines that can't find news materials always have to take out the great achievements of Chef Arnold and write about it, resulting in him even if he is no longer in the rivers and lakes, there are always his legends in the rivers and lakes, and he can't keep a low profile if he wants to.

So the question is, how did such a rich, famous, young, and grumpy chef poach him from the other side of the ocean in the top-floor restaurant?

Are restaurants all over the country going out of business? As a result, their top chefs have to travel across the ocean to find work.

After reading Chef Arnold's information, Jiang Feng suddenly came back to his senses, and looked surprised: "Such a powerful chef, his set meal is discounted?"

Wu Minqi said: "I also think it is strange, although I have never met Chef Arnold, but I heard that he has a very short temper, in the past few years, he had to change restaurants almost every few years, and it has only stabilized in the last four or five years, and he often quarrels with the owner of their restaurant over a trivial matter." ”

"Actually, it's normal for him to change restaurants, but it's incredible for him to come to the top restaurant, because Chef Arnold likes to target Chinese chefs very much. Although he has never talked about it or expressed his stance publicly, whenever he participates in a cooking competition, as long as the opponent is a Chinese chef, his ridicule will be extremely sharp after the competition. ”

"Abnormal?" Jiang Feng grabbed the key word.

"Chef Arnold is famously known for his tendency to taunt his opponents after a cooking competition, and I've been teased by him before. Zhang Guanghang, who had already joined the gossip team, added.

Jiang Feng: ......

is worthy of being a chef who was once famous in the United States for tearing up.

"But Chef Arnold hates Chinese chefs very much......" Zhang Guanghang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, as if he was reminiscing, "I don't seem to have heard anyone mention this, how do you know?"

Jiang Feng and Ji Yue also took a look at Wu Minqi, Zhang Guanghang, who had been ridiculed by Chef Arnold in person, didn't know how Wu Minqi knew.

"I listened to what Master Pei Shenghua said. Wu Minqi said.

Several people suddenly realized that it was said by the king of melons, so there must still be some credibility.

"That's a bit strange, he doesn't like Chinese chefs, why do he come here to find his own anger. Could it be that he has been short of money recently, so he ran out to make extra money?" Jiang Feng boldly guessed.

"No way. Zhang Guanghang directly vetoed, "Although there are many chefs who are not good at managing their finances, and some celebrity chefs will face the dilemma of being on the verge of bankruptcy after retirement, Chef Arnold definitely does not have this problem." Although he has a bad temper, he is very good at investment and financial management, except for the early years when he opened a restaurant and closed down due to poor management, there have been no other major problems, and his financial situation should be very good. ”

"Could it be...... The owner behind the restaurant on the top floor is actually the son of Chef Arnold?" Jiang Feng made an even bolder guess.

"He was married and divorced only once, and he had no children. ”

Jiang Feng: ......

It seems that only restaurants across the United States have gone out of business, leaving their top chefs with the last option of having to travel across the ocean to find work.

"Actually......" Zhang Guanghang paused, obviously hesitating whether to say this, "Since the top-floor restaurant has launched a chef package, I think we can grab it if we can." ”

Jiang Feng: ???

Lao Zhang, you have changed, you were originally my enemy, and now you are actually taking the lead in the enemy!

"Chef Arnold's own set menus used to be ordered more than half a year in advance, and the price fluctuates, but it usually doesn't fall below five figures. Zhang Guanghang thought for a moment, "US dollars." ”

And most importantly, Chef Arnold is the only chef in the top 10 who is still working. In the first two years, it may have been slightly better when Fen Garden was open as usual, but since Fen Garden closed down, Chef Arnold has become the only option. ”

"Chef Arnold's cooking style is very distinctive, he likes to use fresh and precious ingredients, and his cuisine is unrestrained and wild, with a strong Western cooking style. Tasting the dishes prepared by top chefs of different styles is very beneficial for chefs of our level. ”

Jiang Feng's heart was suddenly moved.

What you eat is what you earn!

Although I don't know why the famous chef Arnold suddenly went to the top restaurant to work as a black worker, but what about him, just eat first. Jiang Feng didn't know how much he ate the pastries and moon cakes of Babao Zhai at full price plus delivery fee, and it was his fault to miss the chef's set meal at a discount.

Since he had decided to invest in the enemy, Jiang Feng sent Ji Yue to pay attention to the timely dynamics of the top-floor restaurant, and notify him as soon as there was any news, and then Jiang Feng went to brush up on the experience as before.

No matter how many bigwigs come to the top-floor restaurant, even if Peng Changping goes to the top-floor restaurant to work as a black worker, the experience that should be brushed still has to be brushed.

At noon, Jiang Feng received news from Zhang Zhiyun, Zhang Chu was a little excited to learn that Peng Changping had returned to China, and he couldn't wait to book a plane ticket to Beiping on the spot. However, the Zhang family was not at ease to let Zhang Chu, a retired old man, come to Beiping alone, so they sent Zhang Zhiyun, who was better at first glance to ask for leave, to ask for a few days off to accompany Zhang Chu to Beiping.

Zhang Zhiyun wanted to find Jiang Feng to ask for Peng Changping's contact information, but Peng Changping didn't have a WeChat or a domestic phone, so Jiang Feng gave Zhang Zhiyun Lu Sheng's contact information, and sent a message to Lu Sheng to tell him about it, and the matter was over.

After sending the message, Jiang Feng originally wanted to go to the convenience store next door to buy some snacks and continue to go back to the kitchen to brush up on his experience after eating, but as soon as he entered the convenience store, his mobile phone rang before he started to pick snacks, and the caller was an unfamiliar number.

This unfamiliar number is still a little familiar.

Jiang Feng stared at his phone for a few seconds before he realized that this unfamiliar number seemed to be a bit like the suspected sales mobile phone number that had called him several times this morning.

Jiang Feng sighed in his heart that it was really not easy to sell this year, and the same number was called in the morning and at noon, and he connected the phone.

"Hey. The voice on the other end of the phone was a little familiar, a little nervous, and a little excited, Jiang Feng could even clearly hear the person on the other end of the phone swallow a mouthful of saliva after saying the word hello.

"Little boss, lately...... Is the business in the store good?" Jiang Feng heard it, it was Zhou Shi.

Because of WeChat, Jiang Feng, the phone number of many kitchen employees in Taifeng Building is not saved.

Jiang Feng thought that Zhou Shi was far away in his hometown, so the news was relatively ill-informed, and he only knew the news of the top-floor restaurant in the past two days, so he called over to care about the business situation of the old club, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't been affected too much, what about you?

The relationship between Jiang Feng and Zhou Shi was during the New Year because of the New Year's phone call, and in the future, it was just a relationship between friends who liked it in the circle of friends.

The relationship between the two of them was average, and there was basically no contact at first, but it was only after Zhou Shi told Jiang Feng that he was ready to leave his job.

"It's okay, no, I mean I have a partner now, and I'm still in the dating stage. "Zhou Shi is nervous like a student reporting to the teacher, which is not his style at all.

He wouldn't be like this when Jiang Feng was his boss at the beginning, not to mention that Jiang Feng was only his former boss now.

"That, little boss, I called you a few times this morning and you didn't answer. Then in the morning, I was afraid of delaying the business of the kitchen, so I didn't call you, so I delayed making this call until noon. Zhou Shi explained two sentences, and his tone was a little calmer, "I called you today to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng asked, "Actually, you can ask on WeChat if there is something, but I can't always get a phone call." ”

"Actually, it's just a little thing, but I want to confirm it directly, that is, I saw Sang Mingfa's circle of friends yesterday, is it true?" Zhou Shi's tone was full of unbearable excitement.

"Circle of friends?" After eating a shocking melon in the morning, Jiang Feng had long forgotten what had happened last night besides eating Peng Changping's barbecue and Buddha jumping over the wall, and thought about it for almost half a minute before remembering.

"Oh, you said Sang Ming's circle of friends, right? That's right, we went to the team building yesterday and ate barbecue, what's wrong?"

"I'm not asking about team building, I'm asking...... I saw him in Sang Ming's circle of friends and said that he ate Master Peng Changping's barbecue yesterday, is that Peng Changping we know......? Chef Peng Changping, who ranks first in the celebrity chef list?" Zhou Shi's last sentence was even a little cautious.

Jiang Feng finally understood why Zhou Shi called him, he actually forgot about it, Zhou Shi was a fan of Peng Changping.

Originally, when he was chatting with Zhou Shi, Zhou Shi had mentioned Peng Changping more than once, and his tone was full of admiration for Peng Changping. Zhou Shi also said that if he didn't know Peng Changping's specific address, he would want to visit the other side of the ocean, even if he couldn't speak, it would be good to take a look from afar.

"It's Master Peng Changping, he returned to China. Jiang Feng said, "Yesterday, the barbecue restaurant that our group built was opposite Yongheju, wasn't Master Peng the head chef of Yongheju before? He and Mr. Xu Cheng had dinner in Yongheju together, and came to take a look for a special reason, and when he was interested, he personally cooked some barbecue. ”

"I remember that you didn't say that you always wanted to meet Master Peng, Master Peng will stay in China for a long time this time, I can help you if you need it...... Hey, Zhoushi, are you still there? Hey, can you hear me? Is the signal not very good? Hey!" There was no response on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Shi held the mobile phone and raised his head slightly.

He was afraid that if he lowered his head, tears would not help but fall.

He repented!

He hates!

Why did he resign, why did he go back to his hometown, why did he open this damn private restaurant.

If he hadn't resigned a few months ago, he would still be an employee of Tai Fung Building. He will be in Beiping, he will participate in the team building last night, he will be able to see his idol Mr. Peng Changping with his own eyes, maybe he can still say a few words to Peng Changping, and the most important thing is that he can eat the barbecue that Peng Changping personally roasted!

Grilled meat by yourself!

There is only one resignation distance between him and the barbecue grilled by his idol himself.

But now there is nothing, there is no chance to speak, and there is no chance to eat barbecue.

Jiang Feng on the other end of the phone hung up the phone because he couldn't hear a response, thinking it was a signal problem, and Zhou Shi could only grab the mobile phone with a black screen and grieve alone.

"Cub, what are you doing standing here? Have you eaten lunch, don't work too hard, this meal still has to be eaten on time, the money is not enough, why don't you reply?" Zhou Shi's mother noticed that her son was in a very strange state, slightly tilting his head and looking at the wall with a sad face.

"Mom, I've eaten, don't talk to me now, I want to be quiet. ”

"If you want to be quiet, call her, what, you quarreled? Wasn't it okay yesterday? You are also not young, don't be as angry as Xiaoyoung, I think Jingjing's child is good, so good." ”

"It's not this quiet. ”

.

The next few days were normal, and Tai Fung Building's turnover did not fluctuate dramatically as usual. The top-floor restaurant has not moved since the poster and the preferential news that the pipa is half-covered, and the specific chef set menu is what the rush to buy has not been announced, as if there is no follow-up.

During this time, Ji Yue and the foreman of Babaozhai were trying to get close to the foreman of the top-floor restaurant, trying in vain to get a little news about the top-floor restaurant from the foreman, but to no avail.

What everyone doesn't know is that the reason why the top floor restaurant is so quiet and doesn't release any news at all is because their new chef has not been in a good temper these days. If Chef Arnold is still participating in reality shows now, it is estimated that he can cut out an episode of the scolding material in the past few days, so that those clumsy imitators in reality shows can see what is the originator of the tearing genre.

Chef Arnaud is not a linguist, and has briefly studied Spanish and French, but he is not even able to do everyday conversations, and is only proficient in the swearing. As a result, he usually swears in English mixed with Spanish and French, which of course sounds the same to those who don't understand.

Tao Shu didn't understand.

Tao Shu is a very inconspicuous assistant chef in the kitchen of the top restaurant, the experience is somewhat similar to Zhou Shi, he has drifted north to many restaurants at a young age, Chinese and Western food have been done, and his cooking skills are slightly worse than Zhou Shi, and he is middle-aged and inactive, and he just wants to find a high-paying job and make some money to go back to his hometown as soon as possible to buy a school district house so that his children can go to a good school in the future.

By the way, Tao Shu once worked as a colleague with Zhou Shi for a period of time, and he told Zhou Shi the news of the recruitment of workers in the top-floor restaurant. However, Zhou Shi did not apply for the job because he had never cooked Western food, and he was lucky to apply.

After a busy day's work, Tao Shu returned home and wanted to find someone to complain about at work, and opened his mobile phone to click on WeChat as usual, and found Zhou Shi and Zhou Shi in the address book to force the chef to scold who went to work today.

At the beginning, Tao Shu and Zhou Shi had a good relationship, because Zhou Shi was willing to listen to him complain about some trivial things. It's not because Zhou Shi likes to listen to gossip, Zhou Shi was still young and very motivated at that time, and every day in addition to going to work, he was thinking about how to steal a trick or two from other chefs in the store.

Although Tao Shu likes to complain, he is well-informed, and when he listens to Tao Shu's complaints, he can hear a lot of useful news, one likes to say and one is willing to listen, plus the age is similar, the education is the same, they are all in the same situation, and the relationship between the two people is quite good after a long time.

Later, after they resigned, they gradually broke off contact, and there was no contact, but the last time Tao Shu told Zhou Shi the news of the recruitment of workers in the top restaurant, the two had contact again.

Tao Shu was very envious when he learned that Zhou Shi had saved enough money to go home and open a private restaurant, so he always chatted and wanted to learn from Zhou Shi, and then go home to open his own restaurant like him. After chatting a lot, he habitually complained about some work things to Zhou Shi as before, and Zhou Shi remembered that Tao Shu specially told him the recruitment news of the top floor restaurant, and he was willing to listen to him, and unconsciously he already knew the situation of the top floor restaurant very well.

Even Jiang Feng and the others didn't know a little about the situation of the owner of the top-floor restaurant, and Zhou Shi knew a little about it.

For example, although the top-floor restaurant is opened in Beiping, the kitchen staff are basically foreigners, only the handyman and a few assistant chefs are Chinese, Tao Shu feels that he is going abroad every time he goes to work, and he only returns to China after work. The chef usually speaks in English, sometimes in French, and after a long time, Tao Shu can understand simple sentences and one or two French words, Tao Shu feels that he will be able to take the English level 4 exam in a few more years.

Including the fact that the new chef has come to the top restaurant in the past two days, Zhou Shi also knows about it, because Tao Shu has complained to him every day in the past two days about this new chef. Bad temper, loves to train people, speaks very loudly, even if you don't understand it, you know that he is scolding, he is still burly and strong, and he is still a little older, giving people the feeling that he is the pirate head in the movie.

Tao Shu, as usual, first complained to Zhou Shi that the new chef scolded people again today, and then told Zhou Shi that he found that the new chef's origin seemed to be unusual.

Tao Shu: I heard Xiao Luo say today that our chef seems to be a chef who is particularly ranked high in the celebrity chef list. Didn't I tell you yesterday that when I was passing by the utility room, I heard him talking on the phone and arguing very loudly with someone, who was actually our boss! He was arguing with our boss as if he was unhappy that the restaurant was going to discount his set meal. It's really strange for you to say, since he is a celebrity chef with a top celebrity chef list, why did he come to our restaurant, I heard that he worked in the most famous restaurant in the United States, this group of Americans is really strange, one by one, they don't stay in their own country and have to come to us to open a restaurant.

Tao Shu: But our boss is really rich, and he deserves to be the son of a Wall Street tycoon. Recently, the restaurant is going to get a discount again, these days it is hard to relax a little, it is estimated that after a while I will be busy again, when I have saved enough money, I will go back to my hometown to open a restaurant like you, and I can accompany my wife and children more, no matter how tired and busy, the money earned can go into my own pocket.

Tao Shu: I can take two days off this month, I originally wanted to take another two days off, and I took advantage of this consecutive vacation to go home to accompany my wife and children, but I guess I can't take any leave now.

Tao Shu: Hey, I really envy you.

Tao Shu: When you are going to get married, remember to tell me in advance, I will ask for leave to attend your wedding.

Zhou Shi: Hey, I really envy you.

Tao Shu, who is forced to get up: ?

Originally, Zhou Shi didn't want to say it, anyway, Tao Shu just likes to force him not to reply to every sentence, as long as he replies to the last sentence every 6 or 7 messages. But the three words of the celebrity chef in the long text in the first paragraph of Tao Shu deeply pierced his heart, so he couldn't help but click on copy and paste for a while.

He wanted to go back to Beiping, but he knew very well that even if he returned to Beiping, he would not be able to eat the barbecue he made.

His dream used to be just to meet his idol, but since he learned that all the employees of Taifeng Building basically ate the barbecue made by idols, his dream has changed.

Zhou Shi didn't hear the last few words Jiang Feng said on the phone, and he especially wanted to go back to Beiping while being embarrassed to ask Jiang Feng. After all, he refused happily when he refused Jiang Feng's retention, and now when he looks back and begs the former boss, it is not only a slap in the face, but also a little inauthentic.

Zhou's thoughts drifted far away.

Tao Shu on the other side was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Shi's copy and paste, and then understood him as a comfort for copy and paste, and continued to force him.

Tao Shu: Next week is my daughter's birthday, and I originally wanted to go home to celebrate her birthday on Saturday, but now I guess I can only let my wife bring my daughter to Peking to take them around on vacation. I hope the boss won't ask us to work overtime next week, when I estimate that I will have to work overtime, the store has changed the head chef and two new chefs, and extended the business hours, Xiao Cao also resigned last week, it seems that he was poached by Babao Zhai, and now he has to recruit assistant chefs. I guess we'll have to do the work of two people by one during this time, and I don't know what to do.

Tao Shu: Today, the manager also asked us if there were any chefs we knew who we could introduce to be assistant chefs, and we would be rewarded with 1,000 for success. Our shop is doing things every day, and now it is about to become the public enemy of the Peking Chinese restaurant, which is so easy to recruit chefs, if it weren't for the more money, I would have resigned, and I had to go to work every day as if I had collaborated with the enemy and treason.

Tao Shu: Worried.

Tao Shu: Why didn't Babaozhai come to dig me, I also want to be poached.
