Chapter 753: Opponents
After going around in such a big circle, Arnold still wanted to fight with Peng Changping, which everyone didn't expect.
After listening to Chef Arnold's explanation of mixed Chinese and English, Jiang Feng asked the most crucial question: "But how do we compete?"
"If the competition is held in a restaurant, both in China and in the United States, the recording cycle of this kind of reality show will take at least a few months, and it is impossible for our restaurants to be closed for a few months. ”
Jiang Feng asked this question exactly what Lu Sheng cared about, as the owner of the restaurant, although he did not make the restaurant as commercial as Ling Guangzhao, but if there is a cheap and effective advertisement, he will not play in vain.
The veteran reality show, Chef Arnold returned to the rivers and lakes as a mentor as a student, and the Sino-American Chef King Competition, Lu Sheng could even think that if Yongheju got an excellent ranking in this competitive reality show, or even the first, the advertising effect would be better.
That's definitely the level to which you can wake up with a smile every day when you look at the financial report.
"I don't know. Chef Arnold said.
Jiang Feng: ???
"This is not ......"
Chef Arnold was obviously not very interested in explaining these things that he was not interested in, he was already extremely fast, and he was not fluent and slow when speaking Chinese, and this stumbling pronunciation made him very unhappy. It must be said Chinese Jiang Feng's explanation, he had just seen from Jiang Feng's sometimes confused expression that Jiang Feng couldn't keep up with his speaking speed, and the speed of translation in his brain was half a beat slower than others, so he could only explain Chinese mixed with English, and English mixed with grammatical errors.
"Their format hasn't been decided yet, they haven't even gotten funding for the project, and I haven't signed a contract yet. I'm just going back to deal with some of my own property and interview them by the way, and I've just told you all about it. ”
"Then what does this have to do with me?" Xu Cheng asked.
He is just a simple food critic, this kind of cooking competition has nothing to do with him, it can't be that the program team has no money and wants to sponsor him.
"They need judges. Chef Arnold explained.
Xu Cheng was stunned.
Peng Changping has been listening quietly on the side, while Zhou Shi quietly acts as a background board.
"So, the format hasn't been decided yet. Peng Changping said.
Chef Arnold nodded.
"The format of the program has not been determined. ”
Chef Arnold nodded.
"Actually, I've watched all the previous seasons of this show, and the general process seems to be a group of young chefs who study intensively, keep competing, eliminating, and finally decide a few winners, and find a well-known restaurant to fight the finals. Peng Changping knows a lot about this reality show, "A few years ago, the program team contacted me and wanted to borrow my restaurant for a few days as a final restaurant, but I refused. ”
"If the competition system is changed from a single competition to a restaurant competition this year, it should be the competition venue in their respective restaurants. Peng Changping even began to analyze the possible competition system, "This is much more interesting than before, the cooking competition, you should have found a professional chef to compete, and what is the point of finding a group of good-looking young people who have not practiced knife skills for a few months." ”
Chef Arnold looked a little excited and looked at Peng Changping: "You agree to participate?!"
Peng Changping shook his head with a smile: "I refuse." ”
Chef Arnold: ???
"Why?" said Chef Arnold's voice filled with confusion and anger.
He patiently explained for so long just to persuade Peng Changping to compete. Peng Changping obviously showed a very interested look, but he refused, and Chef Arnold felt that Peng Changping was playing him like a monkey.
"I'm over 100 years old, it's okay to watch variety shows, participate in person, or forget it. Peng Changping explained with a smile, "I know my current body, it's okay to walk and drink tea, but it's not okay to climb the stairs." Occasionally, when the interest comes, I can cook two dishes, but don't look at the 27 dishes tonight, I didn't finish a few dishes by myself, and I basically sat next to me and directed. ”
"Reality show, it's good for you young people to have fun, but I, an old man, still don't participate. ”
was rejected by Peng Changping, Chef Arnold looked very lost, and even the aggression exuded from his body was much smaller, giving people the feeling of a large dog with a swing, exhausted and listless, and with no fighting spirit.
"Then I'll go and reject them. Chef Arnold said as he got up to leave.
"Why?" Peng Changping was puzzled, "I think this show is quite interesting, you can all participate." ”
"There is no opponent. Chef Arnold said the most insolent words in the most bland tone and got up.
"Not necessarily. Peng Changping chuckled.
"Do you mean Sun Maocai? I know that he jumped to Taifeng Building some time ago, and I remember that Taifeng Lou seems to have a great chef who I haven't heard of before who is not inferior to him, but just like that, he is not my opponent. Arnold looked very contemptuous, and didn't take Sun Maocai and Jiang Weiming in his eyes at all.
"It's not them. Peng Changping took a fancy to the mung bean cake, reached out and took a piece, took a small bite and took a sip of tea, before continuing, "Sun Maocai is a little worse than you, Jiang Weiming is about the same age as me, how can he participate in this kind of reality show." ”
"Then who else?" Arnold really couldn't think of anyone else who could compare to him, "It can't be those Frenchmen, right? ”
Peng Changping pointed at Jiang Feng and was silent.
Arnold:?
Jiang Feng: ?
Jiang Feng subconsciously looked down at his chest, the clothes he was wearing were normal and wordless, and he was very well-behaved when he had just eaten, and he didn't splash oil stains.
Excluding these external factors, Peng Changping will point out that there is only one reason for himself.
He can be the opponent of Chef Arnold.
Jiang Feng suspected that Peng Changping wanted to kill him.
It is true that he has been a little inflated since the heat and seasoning have been promoted to the grandmaster level, and he once didn't know what his surname was, and he occasionally didn't take the old man in his eyes, but he still had the most basic self-knowledge.
He is not as good as Sun Maocai.
Whether it is cooking, experience, or management, he is not as good as Sun Maocai. There is a gap between a grandmaster and a grandmaster, and a master-level proficiency of one million can be as different as 108,000 miles, not to mention a grandmaster-level proficiency of 10 million.
Who knows if the Grandmaster level he saw was a Grandmaster level with 100,000 proficiency or a Grandmaster level with 9.99 million proficiency?
Jiang Feng is not as good as Sun Maocai, Sun Maocai is not as good as Chef Arnold, but anyone with a little basic judgment ability knows that Jiang Feng is definitely inferior to Chef Arnold.
When Jiang Feng was most inflated, he felt that he might be able to barely squeeze into the top ten of the celebrity chef record, and Chef Arnold could be in the top five this year!
Not only did Jiang Feng find it incredible, but Chef Arnold also found it incredible, he didn't feel that Peng Changping was playing with him now, he felt that Peng Changping was humiliating him.
"He?" Chef Arnold pointed at Jiang Feng with an incredulous expression, "Can he be my opponent?"
Jiang Feng: ......
I don't think so, but can you not be so exaggerated.
Chef Arnold originally wanted to say something to express his strong dissatisfaction, but after glancing at Jiang Feng, he didn't know why he swallowed the words back, and it seemed that he was still a little weak and unreasonable.
That's a rarity.
"I've heard some rumors about the summer feast, and I've heard about the chicken bean curd he made. Chef Arnold's tone suddenly became calm, "But I don't think he's qualified." ”
"Not necessarily. Peng Changping finished eating the mung bean cake in his hand.
"I taught him dashi for a few months and he's a miracle. ”
"I don't want to say more about the adjectives that often appear in reality TV shows, what hard-working, perseverance, perseverance, although they are all complimentary words, but you and I both know that each of us has these qualities, and lazy people can't become celebrity chefs. I'm going to talk about his talent, and you really should feel that if you and I can be called geniuses by the world, then we are just ordinary mortals compared to him. I understand how you feel, proud, lonely, without an opponent, and I was like that back then. ”
"But you are luckier than me, I didn't meet you when I still have enough energy, but you can meet him when you still have enough energy. ”
I don't know why, Jiang Feng felt that Chef Arnold's expression was a little distorted for a moment.
"My suggestion, it's better to see than to hear, how about you take the time to go to Taifeng Building tomorrow to taste the chicken bean curd he made and then make a decision?" Peng Changping proposed.
Chef Arnold was silent.
Jiang Feng was also silent.
"Tomorrow at noon. Chef Arnold looked at Jiang Feng, "I'll go to Taifeng Building to find you." ”
