Life is a Game

"The topic of today's competition is quite special. It is no longer the theme of ingredients, but the original intention of Mr. Xu Cheng's proposition. The original intention is a very interesting topic, and we also eat more or less from the dishes of the four contestants. It has a little taste." Zhu Changdao, "Wu Minqi's ants climbing the tree are actually very good in terms of taste, heat, and final presentation. But compared with the dishes of the other three contestants, they are so lacking. A trace of soul, I personally feel that this dish is not your original intention, may I ask why you chose this dish?"

There was a microphone at the far right of the cooking table. Wu Minqi was suddenly called and was a little dazed. After thinking about it, she picked up the microphone.

"My cooking skills were taught by my grandfather. To be precise, all the cooking skills of the juniors in our family were taught by my grandfather. The only difference is this dish of ants climbing a tree. This is my father's specialty. It is also the only dish he taught me. What I envied the most when I was a child was that my father would cook a table of dishes for my mother whenever he was free. The relatives I love cook a table of his favorite dishes." Wu Minqi said, "I think this is my original intention."

"This is not your original intention." Zhu Chang said with a smile, "I didn't get your special feelings for this dish, but I got very special feelings for the dishes of the other three contestants, maybe Jiang Feng's. Preserved egg and lean meat porridge is a bit weaker, but they are all strong. But it is true that for you young contestants, it is a bit difficult to discuss the original intention of cooking, but your original intention is not this, and you will understand later. "

Wu Minqi was stunned, a little dazed.

Mama Wu looked at the problem from a unique angle on stage, and turned to ask Wu Hanxue: "You really only taught our daughter this dish?"

"Isn't there no chance in normal times?" Wu Hanxue said awkwardly.

"Then tell me, what is our daughter's original intention?" Mother Wu looked at Wu Minqi on the stage.

"I don't know." Wu Hanxue said, "She didn't even think about it herself, how could we know."

"I know." Mother Wu smiled.

Zhu Chang only commented on Wu Minqi's ants climbing a tree, and then handed the microphone to Pei Shenghua.

"Actually, the judges Zhu Chang didn't make things difficult for anyone just now. Competitor Wu Minqi's dish was indeed a little less interesting than the other three. Of course, it was also very good. I gave contestant Jiang Feng's preserved egg and lean pork porridge a score of 9.6 Then I'll focus on his preserved egg and lean pork porridge." Pei Shenghua started chatting.

"Contestant Jiang Feng is a player who always surprises me a lot. Starting from the quarterfinals, eight-treasure porridge is amazing, shredded yam is a surprise, and today's preserved egg and lean meat porridge is a relief. He has both advantages and disadvantages. The obvious chef, the knife skills are very good, he should be the best among all the players present, his basic skills are very solid, he must have suffered a lot when he was learning how to cook. Correspondingly, his seasoning is indeed a bit poor The heat, the taste is very sensitive, but I don't know why your seasoning doesn't match your taste. But what is even more surprising is that your porridge is very good."

"It may be a pity that you lost to Guli by 0.1 points today, but don't be discouraged. You are very young and you have many infinite possibilities. Today's four players all have a very broad future. I look forward to it. Your future achievements, I also hope that your future road will be wider and wider and farther.”

There was a perfunctory applause from the audience.

"You didn't mention his preserved egg and lean pork porridge at all." Zhu Chang reminded him friendly.

"Ah?" Pei Shenghua thought about it for a while, it seemed like this, there was no way, who told him to be a chatterbox, he started to stray as soon as he spoke, and he didn't know where he went in the end.

Pei Shenghua handed the microphone to Tong Deyan.

"Since the first two judges only commented on one contestant, I will only say one." Tong Deyan has a charm that makes people want to beat him as soon as he opens his mouth. A thunder, the characteristic is the sound of the sauce being poured on the table, which he did very well. I can also guess a little bit about why you made this dish. This dish is quite good from any angle Not bad, I have learned your master's eighty-nine successes, not bad."

"Is Lao Tong at odds with Mr. Xia?" Pei Shenghua turned his head and discussed with Zhu Chang in a low voice.

"He doesn't deal with anyone," Zhu Chang said.

"I can hear it." Tong Deyan remained expressionless.

"I know, just pretend you can't hear it." Pei Shenghua continued to discuss with Zhu Chang.

Tong Deyan: ...

Zang Mu picked up the microphone and talked a lot uncharacteristically: "Everyone of us will have a child like this. They work hard, work hard, keep their feet on the ground, and practice hard every day, but there is always no result. Compared with those talented children It seems so dull. Then, other children who are not smart or hardworking like him will laugh at his efforts, as if they can get a sense of superiority from him in this way. Then, this child, either give up trying and become Either you don’t care about other people’s eyes and ridicule, and you do what you want to do day after day under the name of a fool, and become the person you want to be.”

"Gurley is the latter."

Zang Mu looked at the auditorium, his sharp eyes swept over every player in the first row, like a silent mockery, Sun Jikai, Zhao Shan, and others who were eliminated early and didn't even deserve to have their names also came from the kitchen Yi Shijia, players who also participated in the boring activity of mocking Gu Li, felt that Zang Mu was scolding themselves.

There are no dirty words, but every word sees blood.

"He is indeed not a talented chef. He is the oldest player among the top 32. He won the championship today. Maybe he will be surpassed by these three players on the field in a few years, but this does not mean that he is a chef. Mediocre."

"Being a good cook really requires talent. If you have talent, you will become a good cook, and you may even become a good master. I can eat your original intention in your Jinsi Shaomai, if I don't If you guess wrong, this should be the first dim sum dish Master Tan taught you, I believe you must have cooked this dish more than 7,000 times, and there will be many more 7,000 times in the future."

"Heaven rewards hard work."

"What medicine did Zang Mu take wrongly today? Why are you talking so much?" Pei Shenghua asked curiously.

"You forgot, wasn't he famous in our circle back then and had no talent?" Zhu Chang said with a smile, "But he didn't have Coulee's good temper, and his violent temper back then almost put those guys' faces on the line." stepped on the ground."

"Oh?" Han Guishan didn't expect that he could still eat such a delicious melon.

Zang Mu glanced at them, and Pei Shenghua, who was about to speak, suddenly silenced.

Xu Cheng picked up the microphone slowly.

"I am a diner. Over the years, I have always believed that only a dish full of the chef's emotions and beliefs is an excellent and qualified dish. Only a chef who can endow the dishes with emotions and beliefs can become a master. 4 on the field today Every young chef has the potential to become a master." Xu Chengdao, "I would like to do a special interview with "Zhiwei" for the four of you. "Zhiwei" is my painstaking effort. The monthly publication has become the current annual publication, which allows me to discover fewer and fewer excellent dishes and fewer and fewer outstanding chefs. You have given me surprises and hope, and I I very much hope that "Zhiwei" can resume the original January issue, and I also hope that your future can bring me surprises."

The jealous faces of the young chefs in the audience were all distorted.

A special interview for "Zhiwei" magazine! ! !

Even the masters of major cuisines are hard to get special interviews! ! !

What are the virtues and abilities of the four guys above! ! !

Although they are indeed stronger, more handsome, and more talented than me, why? ! !

A certain top 32 chef who was neither handsome nor talented nor very good shouted in his heart jealously.

"Next, let our staff present awards to the top three contestants." The hostess said with a smile.

Gu Li is a large golden trophy, Jiang Feng is a small silver trophy, and Zhang Guanghang is a smaller bronze trophy.

Just looking at the appearance of the trophy, it is quite well-made, and it can be seen that the organizers put their heart into it.

Jiang Feng noticed that the second place in the 2nd Good Taste Cooking Competition was engraved on the base of his silver trophy.

"Ding, complete the side mission [The Challenge of the Peer], and get the mission reward item: [a kitchen knife]."

"Ding, complete the hidden mission [Jiang Weiguo's pride] and get the mission reward item: [A Memory of Jiang Weiguo]."

The moment Jiang Feng stepped off the podium, the long-lost system notification sounded in his head.

Co-authoring this game actually has to wait until the end of the game to settle.

The game was over, and everyone was about to leave the backstage, but they were stopped by the staff.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, can the four contestants please record another VCR, this is to answer a few questions, and it will be broadcast on the variety show at that time." A staff member of the provincial station ran over and asked.

After answering a few questions, all four of them nodded in agreement.

Everyone has the experience of recording vcr before the game, and after recording so many games, they will not be timid when facing the camera. Recording one at a time is indeed a few simple small problems, and the speed is very fast.

Zhang Guanghang, as a representative of good looks, was naturally the first to record VCR.

"Excuse me, why did you choose Taohua Pan as the entry for the final?" the assistant director asked with a small notebook.

"Peach Blossom Pan is the first real Chinese dish I ate, and it is also the first Chinese dish I learned. Because of this dish, I stayed in Beiping. I studied Chinese, history, poetry, and history. , I learned about a completely different cuisine, a different nation, and a different culture. This dish may not be my original intention for cooking, but it is my original intention for Chinese food." Zhang Guanghang said.

"Will you stay in China to develop in the future or will you return to France to develop?"

"I will stay and work in Beiping for a few years, and I can't be sure about the future."

"The last question is the most popular among netizens. If you were looking for a girlfriend, which type would you look for?" The assistant director had a gossip smile on his face.

"Pretty." The truthful answer was a little too much.

"Okay, no problem, thank you for your cooperation."

The second one was Jiang Feng.

"It's still an old question. May I ask why you chose preserved egg and lean pork porridge as the final entry?"

"My family's situation is actually a bit similar to that of Wu Minqi's. My cousins ​​and I were also taught cooking by my grandfather since we were young, but I never liked it." Jiang Feng said, "I can say accurately that last year Before the summer, I never liked learning to cook. I gave up learning to cook since the third year of junior high school. I put it away for many years and never thought of picking it up. Until last summer, I found out that my neighbor was on a diet because of excessive dieting. I got severe stomach problems after losing weight."

"In the beginning, I just wanted to help her resume her normal diet. I started to cook porridge. I cooked different porridges every day. There were all kinds of porridge. Porridge began to think about how to make a pot of porridge more delicious, after that I picked up the kitchen knife again and continued to practice cooking.”

"Okay, no problem, thank you for your cooperation."

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

Zhang Guanghang has three problems, and I only have one. The difference between your treatment is too obvious!

Do I look so much like a male classmate with no story?

The third one is Wu Minqi.

"Would you regret that you only finished fourth?"

"I will be sorry, but I gave it my all."

"As far as I know, you have been specializing in Sichuan cuisine these years. Do you plan to learn other cuisines in the future?"

"Yes." Wu Minqi's answer was very short.

"The third question may be a bit personal. You can choose not to answer it. Has your life changed after falling in love, or has it affected your finals today?"

"Yes, I feel that everything in the world has become better, more colorful and richer." Wu Minqi said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

The last one is Coulee. Since he won the championship, his dull expression is no longer slow to respond but a champion aura in the eyes of others.

"Are you surprised that you won the championship today?"

"surprise."

"... Then, do you plan to change jobs in the future? According to our investigation, you don't seem to be taken seriously in Zhiweiju."

"No."

"...Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

After the vcr recording was over, Jiang Feng and the others had to say goodbye to the Good Taste Cooking Competition.

The game lasted for more than a month, and it ended suddenly. Jiang Feng was still a little bit reluctant.

"How is the decoration of Taifeng Building?" Zhang Guanghang asked.

"The decoration company has been confirmed and the details are being discussed. It is estimated that the decoration will start soon." Jiang Feng said.

"I'm going back to Peking tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? When is tomorrow?" Jiang Feng didn't expect Zhang Guanghang to leave in such a hurry.

"Tomorrow night's flight, my master is running out of time, I want to go back early to accompany him. If you have any problems with the opening of Taifeng Building, you can contact me at any time. I am in Beiping, so it is convenient for you to deal with it." Zhang Guang channel.

Jiang Feng nodded. At this time, he was not polite anymore: "Why don't you come to my shop for dinner tomorrow at noon? I have already asked someone to draw up the design drawings, so you can take a look at them for me."

"Okay." Zhang Guanghang readily agreed, "By the way, the interview with "Zhiwei" is a great promotional opportunity, and it can be used to promote Taifeng Building."

Jiang Feng really thought about it: "Well, I just don't know when the interview will start."

"At least not in the near future. Generally speaking, "Zhiwei" magazine will publish a new issue between June and August. As long as Taifeng Building opens around June or July, it will be able to catch up with the promotion of "Zhiwei". "Zhang Guanghang said, "Let's talk about the specifics at dinner tomorrow. I think your family seems to be waiting for you over there."

Today's game ended early, and Jiang Jianguo and the others were waiting for Jiang Feng at the door. Obviously they were going out for a dinner together, and Wu Hanxue and Wu's mother were among them.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi walked towards them, everyone had smiles on their faces.

"It's okay." Wu's mother comforted Wu Minqi. She was the worst among the four players on the field today, and she didn't even get a trophy.

"I'm fine, Mom." Wu Minqi comforted Wu's mother in turn.

"Let's go, let's eat. I ordered a big bag at Yushanfang!" Jiang Jianguo said excitedly.

There are many people and few cars, so they will be distributed evenly. Jiang Feng, Jiang Junlian, Jiang Junqing, and Jiang Zaide are all crammed into the back row of an ordinary car, and the rest of them can sit no matter how crowded they are.

"Brother, you really should lose weight, your arms are hurting me." Jiang Junlian looked disgusted.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

He was squeezed into this small space, his facial expression was almost distorted, he could hardly breathe, and turned his head to look at Jiang Junlian's arm with difficulty.

After all, you are a person who weighs 150 kilograms. Don’t you have any clues about who to blame?

"Little brother, your bones are indeed a bit painful." Jiang Zaide said.

Jiang Feng: ...

"oh."
