Chapter 752: The Sino-American Chef King Competition
The moment Chef Arnold exclaimed, everyone's first reaction was: It's coming, it's finally here.
Chef Arnold finally has a move.
Chef Arnold didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and turned his head directly to look at Peng Changping, with an incredulous expression, and asked in English, "He is your apprentice?"
"Of course. Peng Changping nodded, "Is there any problem?"
"Is he the apprentice you said on the phone yesterday?"
Peng Changping nodded affirmatively.
"Who is he?" Chef Arnold looked like an ignorant girl who had been deceived by a scumbag, and stretched out his hand to look around.
Week: ......
Although his education level is not high, his English is not good, and he has not passed the fourth level, he can still understand such a subdued and frustrated "Who is he?"
"I'm weekly. Zhou Shi said.
Arnold glared at Zhou Shi angrily, he didn't care who Zhou Shi was, he was now a grumpy girl who had been deceived by a scumbag for several years, and he just wanted to beg for an explanation from the scumbag who deceived him.
"What about Jiang Feng, isn't Jiang Feng your apprentice?" Arnold asked in a loud voice.
His question confused Peng Changping's question, and Peng Changping said: "Of course not, when did I say that Jiang Feng was my apprentice." ”
"I had heard of him ...... before"
Seeing that he was about to quarrel, Lu Sheng hurriedly came out to play a round: "Oh, it's almost nine o'clock now, and Master Arnold and Master Peng obviously have business to discuss." In this way, Master Arnold and Master Peng will go to my office to talk, and everyone will drink tea and chat here, and if there is something to do, you can also go first. ”
All:......
Although Arnold and Peng Changping just spoke English, all of them were simple conversations that elementary school students could understand, and among so many people here, except for Ji Xia, even Han Youxin could understand it.
As soon as Lu Sheng's words were finished, Han Guishan's family said that it was too late at this point in time, and Han Youxin had to go home to write his homework before he finished his homework. Although Lu Sheng's parents and wife didn't understand the situation, they also didn't write their children's homework, so they had to take the children to prepare to withdraw.
Wu Minqi looked at Jiang Feng, then at Ji Xia, and finally at Chef Arnold, and made a decision in his heart.
"Xia Xia, you haven't written your homework today, have you?" Wu Minqi asked with a smile.
Summer: ???
Assignments, what assignments?
Looking at Ji Xia's confused eyes, Sun Mao knew that it was time to show his acting skills.
"Yes, it's not too early, Xia Xia still has to go to school tomorrow, right? I'll drive you back, Jiang Feng, do you want to go now or sit for a while and then leave." ”
Summer: ???
"Huh?" Jiang Feng actually wanted to slip away now, but Chef Arnold looked at him and let him know that he probably couldn't slip away now.
The most important thing is that he also wants to know what is about him today!
Obviously, he just came to eat, and he took all his private money for this meal, but he became the protagonist while eating.
Before Jiang Feng could make a decision, Chef Arnold helped Jiang Feng decide: "He can't go, I have something to find him." ”
Sun Maocai smiled at Jiang Feng, and ruthlessly led Wu Minqi and Ji Xia away.
Soon, the people in a box were almost gone.
Xu Cheng saw that everyone was gone, and he felt that it didn't seem right for him to stay and eat melons, and he was about to get up and leave, but he was left behind by Chef Arnold.
"Mr. Xu, please wait a while before leaving, I have something I want to ask you for help. Chef Arnold said.
Now it's okay, there is no need to go to Lu Sheng's office to talk, Jiang Feng, Arnold, Zhou Shi, Peng Changping, Xu Cheng and Tao Shu who were present are all ......
Wait, why is Taoshu still here?
Zhou Shi also realized that Tao Shu was not suitable for staying, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't you still want to go shopping? It's not too early now, why don't you go shopping first?"
Tao Shu suddenly woke up, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I still have to go shopping, I'll go to things first, no, I'll go first, go first, everyone talk slowly, talk slowly." ”
Tao Shu got up, hunched over like a thief, grabbed his mobile phone and was about to slip away, but was stopped by Chef Arnold.
"Wait, I remember you were called a book...... What a book. Chef Arnold looked at the pottery book.
Tao Shu secretly screamed that it was not good, but he didn't expect that Chef Arnold not only remembered himself but even remembered his name, and felt that his life was short, and he was afraid that he would be fired today.
"You go back to the restaurant now. ”
Tao Shu had already lowered his head in despair.
"Tell them I'll go back to work tomorrow and let them add my menu and the chef set menu will be sold as normal. ”
"Huh?" Tao Shu thought that Chef Arnold was telling him to go back to the restaurant now to pack up his things and get out of here.
"Is there a problem?" said Chef Arnold, articulating clearly.
"No, no, I'll go back now, I'll go now. Tao Shu fled for his life, and not only closed the door.
Peng Changping picked up the teacup, took a big sip of the apprenticeship tea brought by Zhou, closed the lid, and looked at Chef Arnold.
"Tell me, I thought you had something to tell me about today on the phone yesterday. ”
Chef Arnold took a deep breath, and looked back and forth between Peng Changping and Zhou Shi, Jiang Feng and the three of them, obviously not coming out of the shadow of being deceived, his expression was a little complicated, but he still spoke.
Still in Chinese.
"I'm here to invite you to a contest. Chef Arnold looked upset.
Jiang Feng suddenly invited us to participate......
?
Participating in a competition?
Jiang Feng thought that he had heard it wrong, Chef Arnold had just deceived him about his feelings and deceived him of 50 million, so he just wanted to invite himself to participate in the competition.
"What kind of competition?" Lu Sheng subconsciously looked at Jiang Feng and asked first.
Chef Arnold still looked unhappy, not only unhappy but even a little unwilling to speak, everyone could see that his mood at this time should be very complicated, in fact, everyone's mood is very complicated. Even Peng Changping, who is well-informed and has seen the wind and waves, is a little confused about what Chef Arnold wants to do.
This feeling is like a strong opponent who is fierce and unkind, deliberately supporting everyone to talk to you alone, and you are ready to fight with the other party if you don't agree with each other, and he tells you that he just wants to invite you to afternoon tea.
Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Chef Arnold still explained, English mixed with Chinese, which made Jiang Feng listen a little wasted, but finally understood.
This incident also started when Chef Arnold suddenly ran away after the midsummer banquet.
Chef Arnold left suddenly, and even the people in the restaurant on the top floor did not prepare, let alone outsiders, I don't know the reason, and the timing is too coincidental, so I jokingly called Chef Arnold running away.
In fact, Arnold has business to do.
As we all know, Chef Arnold became famous in the United States by virtue of a culinary reality show more than a year ago, in which Chef Arnold shined with his super high cooking skills, violent temper, enough to assemble a book of curse quotations, and absolutely unlikable true temperament, and became one of the most popular chefs in the United States in one fell swoop. Even after many years, some viewers still said that it was the happiest thing for him to watch Chef Arnold scold people in that reality show.
But what everyone doesn't know is that the reality show has been going downhill over the years.
After the first season shined, the program team also thought of many ways to attract the audience's attention, the fierce competition system, the wonderful tearing, and even found a lot of handsome guys and beauties to be apprentice chefs, but no matter how hard the program team worked, how innovative, and how to stir up the heat, the ratings of this cooking reality show, which can be called the originator of the tearing reality show, are still declining year by year, and even on the verge of being cut.
The program team had no choice but to break the kettle and ask Chef Arnold to go out of the mountain to save this precarious reality show.
Of course, Chef Arnold didn't want to participate, it is true that he was very cool when he first recorded the show, and it was simply his dream life to have money and be scolded by others. But he now has more important things than making money and scolding, so he directly refused when the program team called him for the first time.
But the program team definitely doesn't give up after being rejected once, the ratings of their show last season have been low to a very terrible number, if it weren't for the program team this time they would invite Chef Arnold to participate in the show again, they wouldn't even have the most basic funds.
Arnold Chef = Funds, so to speak.
How could the program team easily give up the low-hanging funds?
So the program team spent half a month researching and inspecting and came up with a new variety show model.
If you want to play, play big.
They're going to have a U.S.-China Chef Championship.
The name is very vulgar, which is a literal translation, but the general format is like this.
Originally, this show was competitive, inviting some well-known young chefs to participate, setting up an attractive prize, and with a awesome viper mentor, after several months of devil learning and layers of competition, the final winner was determined, with a hint of cultivation.
According to the original plot, the focus of this reality show should be those young colleges, but because of the appointment of Chef Arnold, a great mentor who does not follow the usual path and does not follow the script, the protagonist of the first season of this reality show has become Chef Arnold, and those young chefs who should have been one of the protagonists have all become supporting roles and even background boards.
Later, after continuous adjustments, the style of this reality show has also changed again, the young chef has become a beautiful and handsome amateur, the mentor has changed from one to several, the competition class has become the cultivation class, and the gameplay has become more diverse. With the change of the audience's tastes, the show has changed from a cultivation class to a competitive category, but it may be because it did not get the audience's points, and the ratings continued to be sluggish. Even though the program team thought of many ways, such as inviting celebrities to dine, inviting well-known food critics, or creating an Arnold second, it was useless, and even provoked a scolding.
It is precisely because of this that the program team will try to invite Chef Arnold back, and even play the international competition directly at the expense of playing a big ticket.
Win and return to the top, lose and be cut directly is no different from before, no matter how you think about it, the final result will only be better and not worse, as long as they can invite Arnold back, they will have the money to play this big ticket, and the loss will not be lost to them, why not?
Chef Arnold suddenly returned to China this time to discuss the details of the Sino-American Chef King Competition with the program team.
In order to cooperate with Chef Arnold, the venue of this final is not only set in China, but also the registration method is to register for the competition by restaurant. Each restaurant can only have four chefs in the competition, and the exact format is still being discussed, but that's the general direction.
Chef Arnold will agree to Peng Changping's invitation this time, and as soon as he returns to China, he will come to participate in Peng Changping's apprenticeship banquet, in addition to thinking that Peng Changping is going to accept Jiang Feng as a closed disciple because he got an oolong, the main reason is to invite Peng Changping to participate in the competition.
Yes, it wasn't Jiang Feng or anyone else he wanted to invite, it was Peng Changping.
He wanted to compete with Peng Changping.
