Life is a Game

During the week, I was making cold sea cucumber.

Even he himself didn't understand what was going on. He obviously just came to his old club to visit his former colleagues, and he suddenly cooked a few dishes while watching.

There are more and more people working in the back kitchen. Everyone's first reaction when they see Zhou Shi is to nod to him and say: "Yo, I came here very early today."

After finishing speaking, I realized belatedly, hey, why is Zhou Shi here?

Then Jiang Feng stood on the side and explained with a smile why Zhou Shi was here, and the others took it easy and went about their own business without disturbing Zhou Shi's cooking.

Zhou Shi's cold sea cucumber dish is actually not difficult, but the seasoning is relatively new and mustard is added. It was also on the menu before, and it was once popular.

Jiang Feng knew how to cook this dish, so he naturally knew where this dish was most suitable for assessment.

It really tests the basics of knife skills and seasoning.

Shredded sea cucumbers should not only be thin but also thin, the thickness should be appropriate, and the incision should be clean and neat. When seasoning, the amount of mustard and other sauces needs to be controlled very precisely. It can be said that Zhou Shi’s cold sea cucumber dish is hard to say but not simple.

Peng Changping doesn't need to be a master of cooking skills to accept apprentices. He himself said that he just wants to accept the basics that are easy to teach.

So the dishes for this assessment don't need to be very difficult at all, they just need to show Zhou Shi's basic skills to Peng Changping.

The best dishes are better.

The more Jiang Feng thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was so ingenious that he lost his mind and made a play.

Sun Maocai is still in the play. As an excellent chef who once played a cameo in the movie, he is not only dedicated to his job, but also very dedicated to acting, always keeping his personality in mind. When Zhou Shi was cooking, he just watched from the sidelines, not only his eyes were very focused, his face was full of his real interest in this dish.

This acting skill, love of acting and serious attitude really made the Jiang family feel ashamed.

A cold sea cucumber dish didn't take much time at all, Zhou Shi came earlier than Jiang Feng expected, so Peng Changping didn't come even after the dishes were ready.

The script of the play said that Sun Maocai was interested in Zhou Shi's dish, but in fact it was Peng Changping who really wanted to eat this dish, and Sun Maocai had no interest in cold sea cucumber at all.

Now that the dishes were ready, it made Jiang Feng a little bit troubled.

Peng Changping certainly wouldn't mind eating the cold sea cucumber that Sun Maocai had tasted, but the question now was how to save the cold sea cucumber until Peng Changping came over and served it out.

Jiang Feng's script only wrote how to make Zhou Shi do it, but not how to make Peng Changping eat it.

Sun Maocai had already seen Jiang Feng's loopholes in the script, and helped him finish the script while changing the script.

Sun Maocai glanced at Jiang Feng, and asked warmly, "Have you finished processing the abalone that was delivered this morning?"

"Ah, what abalone?" Jiang Feng was stunned. There was no supplier to deliver abalone this morning, but there was one last night.

Sun Maocai showed anger, and seemed a little unhappy: "Didn't I tell you two days ago? Mr. Chu ordered 10 oyster sauce abalones to treat friends to dinner tonight. I specially asked the supplier to deliver them this morning. Afraid that the abalone is not fresh, why haven't you processed it yet? What time is it? Oh, it's almost 5 o'clock. Forget it, let me handle it."

Sun Maocai looked at Zhou Shi: "I'm really sorry, something happened temporarily. How about this, you go out to eat and order normally, and I don't want to delay your meal. I remember that you came with your friends, so it's not easy to let He has been waiting outside for a long time. The cold sea cucumber can stand up here for a while, so you can go out to eat first."

"Ah? Oh." Zhou Shi felt nothing, but felt that today seemed to be putting the cart before the horse. Originally, he came here to get in touch with his old colleagues, but it turned out that he made a dish without feeling in touch.

"Let me go outside with you. By the way, I would like to apologize to your friend for making him wait outside for so long." Jiang Feng finally came to his senses and followed Sun Maocai's play.

"No, no, I won't delay you. You are busy. I'm going out to eat." Zhou Shi hurriedly said, and left.

As soon as Zhou Shi left on the front foot, Sun Maocai made a show on the back foot, and his expression returned to normal: "Master Peng is not here yet?"

"Should be on the way. I originally asked him to leave at 5 o'clock, but it's not yet 5 o'clock. I didn't expect Zhou Shi to come a bit early." Jiang Feng said, "It's a good thing you reacted quickly just now."

Sun Maocai smiled and said nothing.

On the other side, the person who came to eat with Zhou Shi was none other than Tao Shu, the chef assistant at the restaurant on the top floor. As a chef assistant at the restaurant on the top floor, Tao Shu felt very disturbed when he went to eat at the rival Taifeng Building. But just think about it, it's Zhou Shi's treat anyway, and Tao Shu didn't pay for it, so I let go of my anxiety.

Since Zhou Shi entered the back kitchen, Tao Shu has been sitting in his seat looking at the decoration of Taifeng Building. Look at the lamp, look at the table, look at the tableware, look at the chairs, look at the screen, look at the paintings on the wall, and compare in your mind whether the Taifeng Building is rich or the top-floor restaurant is rich, and the future In the end, Taifeng Building or the restaurant on the top floor will fall first.

In fact, Uncle Tao has never understood what kind of medicine Chef Arnold took wrongly, so he insisted on fighting with Taifeng.

Chef Arnold usually speaks English and French mixed with Spanish in the back kitchen. Tao Shu basically doesn't understand a single word except for a few curse words. This also caused Chef Arnold to speak Mandarin occasionally, which impressed Tao Shu very much.

The three words that Chef A Nuo uttered the most were Taifeng Building, Peng Changping, and Jiang Feng.

Tao Shu could be said to have heard Jiang Feng's name for a long time, but he had never met him.

While Tao Shu was staring at the paintings on the wall in a daze, Zhou Shi returned to his seat, saw that the tablet hadn't moved, and said, "Why don't you order? Don't you know what to order?"

"Isn't it waiting for you to come back? How is it? How did the chat go? Are you very happy to see your old colleague?" Tao Shu said cheerfully.

"It's okay, there's nothing to talk about, it's just that I wasted some time in the back kitchen cooking a dish, otherwise I would have come out a long time ago."

Tao Shu:?

cooking?

"It's you, why do you have time to rest this afternoon? I remember that you complained to me before that the top-floor restaurant was too perverted to take a vacation. It's not easy to ask for a vacation if you have less vacation, and you are not allowed to take half a day." Zhou Shi asked.

Tao Shu took a sip of the free kumquat lemonade: "It's always been like this, but now the situation is special. Our chef is the Arnold chef I told you about before. He went back to the United States, and now we..."

"Chef Arnold has returned to the United States?" Jiang Feng's exclamation interrupted Tao Shu's words.

"Yes, yes." Who are you written all over Tao Shu's face.

"When did Chef Arnold return to the United States? How did he go back? Why did he go back?" Jiang Feng asked Sanlian.

"I just went back a few days ago, and suddenly left without saying hello. We only found out when we went to work the next day. No one knew why." Tao Shu said.

Only then did Jiang Feng understand why the restaurant on the top floor seemed to have turned off the fire after the summer banquet, and did not move at all, allowing the flow of customers to decline.

Can there be action? Where did the chef come from?

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, he shouldn't.

Although Shengxia Banquet Taifeng Building fought a beautiful turnaround, Chef Arnold is not helpless to fight back. With his character, he must be more courageous than ever, and he wants to fight the opponent to the end. There is no reason for the opponent to fight back and run away.

Jiang Feng just stood there thinking for a while, Tao Shu and Zhou Shi didn't dare to speak to disturb him while he was thinking.

Tao Shu stared at Jiang Feng for two minutes before he dared to speak. He turned to Zhou Shi and said, "He, who is he?"

"Jiang Feng, I should have told you earlier." Zhou Shi also recovered.

Tao Shu suddenly realized that the weird young man in front of him was Jiang Feng, whom Chef Arnold often talked about. He really deserved to be talked about by Chef Arnold.

Only then did Jiang Feng remember why he came out to find Zhou Shi.

"By the way, Uncle Zhou, don't leave after dinner. I still have something to talk to you about. Please wait here. I'm still busy in the kitchen, so I'll go back first." Jiang Feng left in a hurry. Tell everyone the news that Chef Arnold ran away inexplicably.

Peng Changping was blocked on the road. The traffic conditions at this time were really bad. I don't know how long it will take to get there. He had to come out and tell Zhou Shi not to leave first, otherwise it would be unreasonable for the classmate to run away when the teacher for the assessment came.

Although what he wants to figure out most now is why Chef Arnold ran away.
