Life is a Game

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

The winter in Beiping is much colder than City A and City Z. The heating has been turned on early, the house is warm like spring, and the outside is cold and windy. Such a sharp contrast makes the journey to work even more difficult.

The down jacket that accompanied Jiang Feng through the long winter in the past two years was no longer enough. Comrade Wang Xiulian spent a huge sum of money to buy Jiang Feng a Valentino down jacket of the same style as the old man, although Jiang Feng fell in love with the Versace next door.

Since the beginning of winter, Jiang Feng would feel jealous when he met 996 wearing a Versace down jacket every night on his way home. 996 also often wondered why Jiang Feng was wearing a Valentino down jacket of a style so inconsistent with his age.

The two often look at each other on the road, guessing each other's occupation.

Ji Xia's fried noodles and Zhou Shi's cold sea cucumber officially landed on Taifenglou's menu in November. Since Jixia's fried noodles were only grade C when he made them alone, they were made together with Jiang Feng's crab-stuffed orange as orange noodles Packages are sold as a set.

Crab-stuffed oranges are 188 yuan for a single purchase, and 388 yuan for a combo set meal. Any interested person who has studied mathematics will find out through simple calculations that a bowl of fried noodles is worth 200 oceans.

Babaozhai's fried noodles only sell for 88 yuan a bowl.

Such a high price makes some people who are brave enough to eat crabs a little regressed at the beginning.

But soon everyone discovered that the crab stuffed orange in the combo set is much more delicious than the crab stuffed orange sold alone, and the taste is not an order of magnitude.

Those who can frequent Taifeng Restaurant are those who are not short of money. If you only come here once or twice to inquire and do your homework, you will find that the signature dishes in Taifeng Restaurant are basically limited dishes and pre-ordered dishes. It is precisely because of this that after the first few days of poor sales, the orange noodle set meal became as hard to grab as the shredded yam. It became another signature dish of Taifeng Restaurant or a seasonal one.

As a result, Ji Xia has gained a lot of small coffers. Stove chefs get bonuses for cooking. Although Ji Xia doesn't have a basic salary, there are still bonuses.

Ji Xia asked Jiang Feng to save all her bonuses for these days, and give them to her after the holiday before the year. Judging by her posture, she probably wanted to buy something to bring back for the holidays a year ago. Jiang Feng didn't ask directly, but he could probably guess what Ji Xia wanted to buy, it was nothing more than food and clothes.

The game entered the update state again in mid-November. This time the update speed was unprecedentedly slow. The progress bar remained at 0% for the first three days and did not move at all. Jiang Feng once wondered whether the game manufacturer had closed down. The boss behind it They all ran away, so the server was shut down and the update was stagnant.

Now it's the end of December and tomorrow is New Year's Day, and the progress bar has only reached 27%. It looks like it's going to be updated to the old posture.

In the past two months, Jiang Feng has been practicing stretched noodles, Su's moon cakes and sea cucumber dishes.

Since I have been practicing the white case, I haven't done much knife work, and the seasoning and heat have all increased a lot.

Originally, he planned to practice baking lobster in soup, but he gave up after trying it once and only made D grade. He lost a good flower lobster in vain.

Jiang Feng hadn't had much experience with seafood, and he wasn't good at handling seafood, so it was unrealistic to challenge such a difficult Cantonese cuisine all at once.

Instead of learning how to make baked lobster with soup from scratch, it’s better to practice stretching noodles honestly to see if you can make a qualified fried noodle dish. You don’t need A-level or B-level noodles. The buff added to fried noodles and crab stuffed orange Let Jajangmyeon rise to A-level by itself.

Of course, these are trivial things, even with Jiang Shoucheng successfully losing weight to less than 200 catties but still not chasing the girl he loves, and not going to Jiang Feng to learn how to stretch noodles is also a trivial matter. Not only did Jiang Shoucheng not learn how to stretch noodles, he even canceled their department dinner.

Originally, it was just a postponement, because there were always people who had to work overtime for various reasons, so the dinner party could not go smoothly. It was postponed until mid-November to set a time when everyone would not have to work overtime.

As a result, there was a series of car accidents near Renyi Hospital on the day of the dinner party, and the entire emergency department was sent out to rescue. After a whole day of work, Jiang Feng delivered the dinner. Jiang Feng sent all the fried noodles and Su's mooncakes he made, along with the love fried rice made by Comrade Jiang Jiankang.

The recipients of the meals were not only the doctors in the emergency room, but also the fire officers and soldiers in charge of emergency rescue. After being tired all day, everyone was screaming with hunger. Jiang Feng took this opportunity to earn a lot of experience points.

It is precisely because of this that the game has been upgraded.

If Jiang Feng was given another choice, he would definitely choose to let Comrade Jiang Jiankang cook all the fried rice by himself.

But these things are nothing compared to the release of "Zhiwei" magazine.

Yes, Mr. Xu Cheng, a famous pigeon gourmand in the gourmet world, is omnipotent. He dropped the extra issue. Just when everyone thought he was going to drop all the original annual issues, "Zhiwei" magazine finally announced the release date.

January 1.

New Year.

Xu Cheng finally dropped last year's magazine.

But this is not important, because on the cover of the online version of the magazine published by "Zhiwei" magazine is a close-up picture of Taifeng Building, and the signboard of Taifeng Building is clearly visible. Although only the cover of the Asian edition was like this, and the covers of other magazines were not Taifeng Building, it was enough to make Jiang Feng ecstatic.

Xu Guo did not disappoint him. He really didn't have the time and energy to conceive a brand new magazine cover.

Tai Fung House is about to send out.

Since "Zhiwei" magazine announced the cover of the magazine at the end of December, there has been a long queue at the entrance of Taifeng Building. This treatment used to be only available during the National Day, but now even the entrance of Taifeng Building is overcrowded on ordinary Mondays to Fridays. It is no different from those online celebrity shops.

After all, "Zhi Wei" is the real weathervane of the food circle, and it is much more reliable than those so-called Internet celebrity punch cards. Now there are still many people who keep the periodicals of "Zhiwei" in their homes. Every time they travel in a city, they start to read "Zhiwei" to see which restaurants to eat.

It has been several years since "Zhiwei" directly put a photo of a restaurant on the cover, and the restaurants that have been on the cover of "Zhiwei" are all restaurants with excellent reputation that have attracted countless clichés.

Taifeng Building became famous in the industry immediately.

Originally, the reputation of Taifeng Building was limited to Beiping and its surrounding areas. After all, vegetables are not like other commodities. You have to taste the food to know what it is like. When people say which restaurant is famous, they refer to the famous restaurant in that place, not the famous restaurant in the whole country.

To this day, many gourmets in China have not been able to select a domestic first restaurant that can convince restaurants all over the country. Every region has different tastes and preferences, and no one is convinced.

Not to mention that Beiping has not yet won the first place, and the battle of the four emperors has become a battle for hegemony among the five emperors because a Taifeng Tower was parachuted.

Many people at home and abroad buy several editions of "Zhiwei" magazine together, not to mention that Xu Cheng wrote the exclusive interview about Taifeng Building this time, and it will appear in each edition.

Many gourmets are not short of money. They read magazines as recipes, and they will eat as long as there is something on them. They are more fanatical than groupies.

Comrade Wang Xiulian, a business genius, made up his mind on the spot and began to calculate how much the price of vegetables should be increased. Jiang Feng persuaded her in time. The price has been raised as soon as they become famous. This kind of ugly face is too capitalist. They can wait until after the Chinese New Year to raise the price.

How normal is it to raise prices after the new year? Jiang Feng believes that the new and old diners of Taifeng Building can understand the new price for the new year.

In fact, it is not long after New Year's Day. This year, the Chinese New Year is early, and mid-January is the new year. The tradition of the Jiang family has always been that the new year is the new year. Since the new year is the new year, there is no need to work. Everyone should happily close the store and go home for the new year and wait to eat the dishes cooked by the old man.

This year is also the same. No matter how good the business of Taifeng Building is, no matter how profitable the New Year’s Eve dinner is, Taifeng Building will not be in the business of New Year’s Eve dinner. There is nothing in this world that is more intoxicating than going home during the Chinese New Year and eating meals cooked by the old man for more than ten days. And feel happy thing.

Leaving aside the future, all the people in the culinary circle and those who follow "Zhiwei" are waiting for the thicker version to be released on January 1st. Whether you are a diner of Taifeng Building or not, everyone wants to see it. What does a restaurant that can be on the cover of Zhiwei magazine look like, and what does Xu Cheng think of him?

The outside world is very concerned about the "Zhiwei" magazine released on January 1, but the employees of the back kitchen of Taifeng Building are not concerned about it.

Everyone was making a common suggestion with Jiang Feng, Jiang Jiankang and the two old men.

Please, please hire two more chefs for the back kitchen!

996 really can't stand it.

No matter how high the overtime pay is, it may not be a problem for such a high-intensity workload to last for ten days and a half months. If it really lasts for half a year, everyone may become desperate to make money.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang actively accepted everyone's opinions, mainly because the two of them were too tired to bear it. During this period of time, the recruitment of chefs has progressed quite a lot, and many chefs have applied for related positions.

With the new year and new atmosphere, after discussion, everyone decided to conduct the second recruitment of the back kitchen of Taifeng Building at 3:00 pm on January 1st in Fenyuan.

It's time for some newcomers in the back kitchen of Taifeng Building.
