Chapter 779: Preparation
On October 15th, the recording competition officially began, and the dishes of the contestants rose on the 13th, and everyone could not be idle on the 14th, so they had to prepare for the picking.
The so-called preparation is very familiar to everyone, and some of the conversations with the guests before the official start of the variety show. This Jiang Feng is ripe, when he first participated in the Good Taste Cooking Competition, everyone recorded it for preparation, and he has seen the world.
It's just that the preparation of the Good Taste Cooking Competition is that each contestant goes to the TV station to record, and this time the program team comes to the door and sets aside a small room for matching in their respective restaurants, so that the contestants and their respective cameramen can get familiar with it first.
Since it is a production team in the United States, the photographers are all foreigners, and they are all strong men, maybe they need to carry the photographer around, and the amount of exercise comparable to that of long-distance runners must be strong men to be competent.
Jiang Feng's photographer is a bearded strong man, and at first glance, his back looks a little like Arnold, and Chef almost didn't see Jiang Feng in a cold sweat. It was very cold, and after seeing Jiang Feng, he just nodded politely, and didn't even say a word of Hi, which seemed to be a little embarrassed by Jiang Feng, who said a word of Hi.
The choreographer of Beicai is a Chinese, probably to facilitate communication with the contestants, and looks very professional. After Jiang Feng entered the small room for preparation, the choreographer smiled and motioned for him to sit down and let him relax, just ask a few simple questions, don't be nervous.
Jiang Feng was not only not nervous, but also had a lot of questions to ask the program team. Since receiving the news that the show is about to start, his schedule is very full, and he basically has things to do every day. After finishing the study of Yongheju, I returned to Taifeng Building, pondered the menu, and yesterday I had a headache after I decided to stir-fry shredded potatoes, what should I do with this dish.
Since Jiang Feng's cooking level has risen, fried shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes are something that everyone can do, and even Sang Ming can fry Jiang Feng's small stir-fried dishes are rarely on the menu. Especially later, Jiang Feng listened to Sun Maocai's opinion, and changed his menu to unstable, and the liquid dishes that sold better were all sweet and sour pork ribs, three fresh, and sauce elbows, which were either a little special or meat dishes, and fried shredded potatoes were simply an ornament.
It's not easy to grab Jiang Feng's dishes, who would waste this precious place on fried shredded potatoes?
Just when Jiang Feng was frantically complaining in his heart about how pitted the fried shredded potatoes were, the choreographer was already smiling and asking.
Seeing Jiang Feng's serious face and empty eyes, the choreographer thought that he was too nervous, so the whole person looked very tense and unnatural, so he thought about saying something off topic first to ease the atmosphere: "Master Jiang, you don't need to be too tight, and then we just ask some simple questions." Well, let's talk about something else first. You ......"
"Can I ask a few questions?" Jiang Feng said.
The choreographer was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course you can, you can ask anything you want." ”
"Recording will start tomorrow, and although the chefs of our participating restaurants won't be meeting each other for the first two weeks, I thought we should at least tell us the names of the other contestants. Even if we don't announce the dishes, we should tell us who the opponent of the competition is, why hasn't the program team given us any news until now?"
Choreographer: "Huh?"
"Also, I see that the relevant documents of the process clearly write that Monday to Saturday is the point day, and a small test will be conducted on Sunday, according to the ranking and points. However, we have not been told what the scope of this test is and what the specific content is. Since we don't meet each other, the test must be done separately, and if so, how can we know for sure if the rankings are cheating? ”
"One of the most critical issues is that when we get to work, we won't have as many people in the back kitchen as we do now. As you know, there won't be much spare space in the back kitchen of the hotel. You can see that these camera masters are tall and carry such a big camera, and there is probably no place in the back kitchen for them to carry the camera with us. I think one is enough to choke, let alone four, and I guess I can't stuff it, in case the cameraman accidentally knocks over any seasonings or pickled dishes, it will affect our normal business. ”
Jiang Feng's mouth clicked like a machine gun, and a series of bullets came out to blind the choreographer.
The director thought to herself that I was just a director in charge of money, and the specific program planning or content had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't solve these things when she asked her, so she could only keep smiling and politely saying: "I will reflect these problems you just now with the program team, and I believe there will be a reply soon." ”
Jiang Feng: ......
I think you're missing a sentence: I wish you a happy life.
"I think we're almost done, can we start?" The choreographer could see that Jiang Feng was not nervous at all, he was just thinking about things just now, and immediately changed the topic.
Jiang Feng saw that his question could not be answered and solved, so he nodded, indicating that he could start.
Jiang Feng originally thought that the preparation meeting would be very casual and gentle, just like the previous Good Taste Cooking Competition, and calling everyone to the TV station was just to record their self-introduction and participation declaration. Except for Ji Xue, who recorded her self-introduction as a job advertisement, everyone is normal.
In his original idea, the questions asked should be the introduction of the restaurant, the introduction of himself, his thoughts on the game and whether he has confidence, and Beicai can end happily like this. But he didn't expect that the first question would be very sharp, and it could even be said to be full of gunpowder.
"The competition for our show is very fierce, and only the top two will make it to the finals in the form of a points competition. I just looked at the menu of the four chefs of Tai Fung Lou in the first week, and it can be said that there is no advantage at all, do you think Tai Fung Lou still has a chance to qualify in the first week?" asked the choreographer with a smile.
Jiang Feng: ?
Troublesome?
However, the director's words actually reminded Jiang Feng that the dishes they drew were really not good.
In other words, some restaurants have drawn very advantageous dishes.
"Absolutely. Jiang Feng raised his head confidently, and it was rare to show the confidence and aura of his three grandmasters, "There are only chefs who have no advantages, and there are no dishes that are at a disadvantage." ”
"It is worthy of being the restaurant that appeared on the cover of "Zhiwei" this year, and I am really confident, I think we should be able to see the very outstanding performance of Taifeng Road next. ”
"The second question, in fact, is the last question. Do you have a restaurant that you really want to go to in the second phase of the exchange?"
Jiang Feng thought for a while: "Yongheju." ”
Yonghe is familiar with him.
"Why?"
"Didn't you say that was the last question?"
Director:......
The choreographer thought that Jiang Feng didn't want to answer, smiled, and got up to see Jiang Feng away.
It took almost an hour for the preparation of the four people, and after the preparation, the four of them exchanged questions with each other, and found that everyone was asked the same questions, and the program team really wanted to do something.
"Feng Feng, do you think that when the results of the first week of the points competition come out, which of the eight restaurants in our country will be ranked first?" Wu Minqi asked curiously.
"It should be Zhiweiju, if there is a single pile, other restaurants should not be able to pile him. Jiang Feng said.
"Indeed, the biggest advantage in the first round of the competition system should be Zhiweiju, but they are also the biggest disadvantage in the second round. Sun Maocai nodded in agreement, "After the second round of exchanges, we have to cook according to the original menu of the restaurant, except for the pastries of Babaozhai, some of our restaurants don't even do white cases." ”
"Don't think about the second round, it doesn't seem like we're going to be able to do it in the first round now. Jiang Feng smiled bitterly, although what he said when he was preparing for the harvest was very arrogant, but he was still a little forced to count whether the fried shredded potatoes were competitive or not.
According to normal operation, tomorrow's menu will be chicken bean curd, eight treasure chestnut pigeons, crab stuffed oranges, shredded yams, pure meat wontons, Li Hongzhang chowder, marriage set meal, yellow stewed eel segments, fat sausages and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Tomorrow's guests will have to think about it before they order fried shredded potatoes!
The same is true for Sun Maocai, tomorrow's guests can't think about it, so they can order Sun Maocai's dishes and order soup baby cabbage.
Wu Minqi's mapo tofu can be beaten a little, and the mapo tofu she makes is spicy, and the general guests may be a little incompetent, but there are also some guests who are very good at this bite.
The most capable one is Sun Jikai, whether Taifeng Lou will be at the bottom this week depends on Young Master Sun's performance.
"Old Sun, come on!" Jiang Feng patted Sun Jikai's shoulder with a heavy face, "Take out your true strength, we really have to rely on you this week." ”
"Fortunately, your dry fried Niu He is eight yuan cheaper than Ji Xue, I want to take Ji Xue's dry fried Niu He off the shelves directly. ”
Sun Jikai: ?
Although he understood what Jiang Feng meant, he still felt that Jiang Feng was sarcastic about him.
I think my dry fried beef river can go up by eight dollars, thank you.
