Life is a Game

If you want to ask among so many people here who know Chef A Nuo who looks the most like seeing a ghost when he sees him, it must be Tao Shu.

There is nothing more hopeless than being caught by your immediate boss when you are an enemy.

Wait, the immediate boss seems to be funding the enemy too.

Tao Shu was a little confused for a moment.

Compared to everyone's expression of having seen a ghost, Chef Arnold's performance was very calm. He locked onto Jiang Feng for the first time, with a serious face, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. After all, Jiang Feng basically had this expression every time he saw Chef Arnold.

After locking Jiang Feng, Chef Arnold didn't look at anyone anymore. He walked to the two empty seats and asked slowly, word by word, in not-standard but understandable Chinese: "Can I sit here?"

"Of course, please sit down." Zhou Shi didn't know Chef Arnold, so he responded quickly.

Chef Arnold sat down calmly, put his hands on the table, didn't look at his phone or anything else, just stared at Jiang Feng with piercing eyes.

Jiang Feng: ...

Whoever I provoke provoked me.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Jiang Feng chose to pee.

After Jiang Feng left, Chef Arnold changed the object of observation to Lu Sheng, and began to stare at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng: ...

"I'm going to go to the toilet too." Lu Sheng suddenly felt that the urine escape was really a good thing.

After Lu Sheng also slipped away, Chef Arnold changed his staring object to Tao Shu. He regarded Tao Shu as a two-pronged battle, and almost wanted to leave first. But he didn't dare, so he could only sit obediently in his seat, trying to avoid Chef Arnold's sight, shaking like a sieve.

"Who is he?" Zhou Shi was a little puzzled, he really didn't know this bearded foreigner.

"I... my boss, no, no, I am his boss, no, no, boss, no, not the boss, I..." Tao Shu was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, maybe in his heart Chef Arnold was His boss, but Chef Arnold is not theoretically his boss. This caused a certain degree of confusion in his logic and mouth. The mouth is not controlled by the brain, and the brain does not know what it should control.

Week time:? ? ?

"I just want to know who he is." Zhou Shi said helplessly.

"Chef Arnold, the head chef of our restaurant." Tao Shu's thoughts finally returned to normal.

"Chef Arnold." Zhou Shi was a little surprised.

Although he is not in Peiping these days, and he doesn't know the love-hate relationship between the top restaurant and the established restaurants in Peking in the past few months, Chef Arnold still knows.

After all, this name was the most abused name in the WeChat group of Taifeng Building employees some time ago, and its appearance rate was extremely high.

"Why did he come here? I remember that your restaurant on the top floor is not the same as others..." To be honest, Tao Shu covered his mouth before he could finish speaking.

Tao Shu glanced at Chef Arnold in panic, and found that Chef Arnold was still looking at him, and whispered: "He can understand Chinese."

Zhou Shi immediately shut up.

Tao Shu knew that Chef Arnold was learning Chinese from a long time ago. Chef Arnold was always holding a copy of "Chinese Basic Vocabulary Book", "How Foreigners Learn Chinese Quickly" and so on. The books on learning Chinese well are dangling in the back kitchen, and it is difficult for them to know.

But no one cared, because everyone didn't believe that Chef Arnold could understand Chinese just by reading these broken books, so he underestimated Chinese too much.

It turns out that they underestimated Chef Arnold too much.

Not only did he read it, but he also understood it.

In the past, the Chinese assistant chefs in the top-floor restaurant, relying on the natural barrier of language, often gathered together to discuss or complain about foreign chefs. It was Roland before, and Arnold now. Because they think they can't understand Chinese, everyone's complaints are usually very unscrupulous, and they even dare to say it in front of their faces.

Until half a month ago, there was a brave chef assistant who said with certainty to other people in front of Chef Arnold that Chef Arnold must have a mental illness, and it is not normal for him to have such a violent temper and personality. people.

Then Chef Arnold let him really feel whether he is a normal person or not.

The chef was fired after feeling it.

Tao Shu felt that it was his turn.

On the other side, Jiang Feng and Lu Sheng met unexpectedly in the toilet.

Having said that, Jiang Feng remembered that the first time he met Lu Sheng was in the toilet of Yongheju. Maybe the two of them were born with the toilet of Yongheju.

"Why did Master Peng invite Chef Arnold?" Jiang Feng looked in disbelief.

"I don't know either." Lu Sheng felt that this question had touched his blind spot of knowledge, "I didn't expect that he would hire Chef Arnold, obviously we and..."

"Wait, was there any conflict between Chef Arnold and Master Peng?" Lu Sheng suddenly realized.

Jiang Feng tried his best to think back, but it seemed that he really didn't.

When Master Peng was in the United States a few years ago, Chef Arnold and Arnold always kept the water in the well. Of course, this is mainly because Master Peng has not been a chef for many years, and the well water cannot be released even if he wants to. Chef Arnold also obeyed Peng Changping in the selection of Famous Chefs. He just simply refused to accept the second place and felt that he should be the second.

During this period of time in China, although the restaurant on the top floor made enemies everywhere and was arrogant, and even blatantly suppressed Taifeng Building some time ago, it really has nothing to do with Chef Arnold. He doesn't get involved in the business of Taifeng Building and Yongheju at all, and it has nothing to do with him. He drinks tea and chats every day, guides his disciples and grandchildren when he thinks of it, and takes a walk around the neighborhood when he doesn't think of it, no different from an ordinary retired old man.

Chef Arnold's attitude towards Peng Changping was not bad. Before Peng Changping went to the restaurant on the top floor for dinner, Chef Arnold came out to introduce the details of the dishes, which confused Xu Cheng. If Chef Arnold had a bad expression and a bad attitude, he treated everyone like this, and he didn't specifically target anyone. He just targeted Jiang Feng and Lu Sheng just now.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Chef Arnold didn't target anyone, but Jiang Feng.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Feng really didn't want to go back to the box and sit there.

But he can't stay in the toilet all the time.

"How about... Let's go to the kitchen to see if the dishes are ready?" Jiang Feng suggested that he was familiar with the kitchen of Yongheju, as if he was familiar with his own kitchen.

Lu Sheng:?

Although he didn't understand why Jiang Feng's thoughts jumped so fast, he also thought it was a good idea to go to the kitchen. He also didn't want to stay in the toilet, he kind of wanted to go to the office, drink tea and watch the surveillance.

"Let's go and have a look, and see if you can help me serve something." Lu Sheng nodded.

The two walked towards the back kitchen on the first floor together. One was the boss and the other was a non-resident non-staff. The chefs in the back kitchen were not surprised when they saw them, even if they were not wearing work uniforms, they didn't think anything was wrong.

Peng Changping was in front of the stove.

It seems that he should have been busy for a while, which shows that he really attaches great importance to this apprentice banquet.

Jiang Feng noticed that the things in the pot seemed familiar, and looked like small dumplings from a distance.

approach.

Peng Changping just finished thickening the cornstarch and putting it on a plate.

It was the familiar little dumpling, the little dumpling wrapped in egg liquid that Jiang Feng just saw in his memory yesterday.

"Check to see if the braised shark's fin is ready. When it's ready, it's ready to be served on a plate. This phoenix egg is behind the braised shark's fin. Be quick." Peng Changping put down the spatula and ended the battle.

Peng Changping turned his head and found that Jiang Feng and Lu Sheng had arrived. He looked at the time and found that it was more than 7 o'clock, thinking that they were waiting in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Just now there was a small problem with a few dishes, so it was delayed for more than ten minutes. People should It's all here, ready to serve and I'll go there with you."

"Master Peng, ah..." Lu Sheng was about to ask Peng Changping if Chef A Nuo was hired by him, but was interrupted by Jiang Feng's eager words.

"Master Peng, what's the name of this dish?" Jiang Feng stared at the dumpling wrapped in egg liquid just out of the pan, his eyes were shining.

"It's called phoenix egg. Why, have you eaten it before?" Peng Changping asked with a smile.

Lu Sheng also noticed this dish and found it fresh: "Phoenix egg, the name is quite interesting, but I don't seem to have seen this dish before."

"It may be that the chef is too troublesome to make it now. The ingredients of this dish are not very expensive, and it cannot be sold at a high price. Difficult. I remember that when I was a child, the rich and noble families in Beiping City must eat this dish on the New Year’s Eve because the name sounds good and auspicious. After all, this dish was made the best by your Taifeng Building back then. Your great-grandfather’s Phoenix eggs are really phoenix eggs." Peng Changping said, seeing that Jiang Feng was interested in this dish, "Want to learn?"

Jiang Feng nodded frantically, not hiding it at all.

"It's easy to learn. Although this dish is cumbersome and difficult, it's not so troublesome compared to other dishes. Your current level should be barely enough and you can learn it. When you are free, come over and learn Jiang's ginseng soup. In between teaching you ginseng soup, I will teach you this dish by the way, and you should be able to make it in two or three months." Peng Changping is also very generous in teaching dishes.

"Thank you, Master Peng." Jiang Feng instantly forgot about Chef A Nuo.

Lu Sheng:? ? ?

Is our focus now on teaching and learning dishes? Isn't the point now that there is a Chef Arnold sitting in the box? Aren't any of you wondering what to do next to dinner with Chef Arno?

Wait, this dish is really good, it has a nice name and a nice name. If it is on the menu, it should sell well.

"Master Peng, do you think there are chefs in the restaurant who can learn this dish?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Study?" Peng Changping glanced at his apprentices with a half-smile, causing them to lower their heads in guilt, avoiding their eyes and not daring to look at him.

"The ones that need to be learned are still a little too late, and the ones that don't need to be learned can be asked by them." Peng Changping knows that this dish is difficult and troublesome, and there is no very big profit. It is normal for ordinary chefs not to want to cook. After all, the chefs of Yongheju, especially those who follow the Tan family cuisine that he learned, have no shortage of difficult dishes that can be sold at a high price.

But it is one thing to be willing to do it or not, but it is another thing to be able to pretend to be stupid.

After all, Lu Sheng is a professional boss, so he quickly realized it.

He wrote it down, but didn't say clearly: "Since the dishes are almost ready, let's go back to the box first."

"Yes." Peng Changping nodded, followed Lu Sheng and Jiang Feng out, and left the kitchen.
