Life is a Game

The changes that the three masters brought to Jiang Feng were enormous.

The most intuitive thing is that the buff dishes he cooks are basically S-level, except for pure meat wontons.

Speaking of pure meat wontons, Jiang Feng is a little confused now. When his cooking skills are all advanced, the pure meat wontons he cooks are F-grade, and when his cooking skills are all master-level, the pure meat wontons he cooks are also F-grade. Grade F. It is true that the pure meat wonton dish is unpalatable, and unpalatable is its characteristic. If it is not unpalatable, customers still feel that the chef is not paying attention when making wonton today.

But Jiang Feng really wanted to know if this dish could be made to a grade other than F grade.

For this reason, he specially made pure meat wontons without intentionally making them tasteless, strictly following the tutorial and trying to make them like normal wontons, but the rating was still F.

Maybe this is the charm of pure meat wontons. Pure meat wontons that are not grade F are not good wontons.

In the next few days, Jiang Fengtong went to Yongheju to report every day as in the past few months, and continued to learn from Peng Changping how to make Jiang's ginseng soup. Wu Minqi also packed up her things and went back to Wu's restaurant to practice cooking, as she had agreed with Jiang Feng before. She lost contact during the day and communicated at night.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi had to make video calls every night to summarize what they had learned today, how much they had learned, and what they were going to do tomorrow, just like college students at the end of their long-distance relationship preparations.

The study of Jiang's ginseng soup went very smoothly.

In less than a month, Jiang Feng was already able to do well.

Of course, it's just a model.

Jiang's ginseng soup is an extremely torturous top dish that combines high difficulty, long time and exhaustion. Most of the famous dishes with a slightly longer history have this problem. Jiang Feng thinks that the reason why these dishes are so difficult to prepare is not because they really need to be so difficult to make, but because the dignitaries who ate vegetables back then wanted the dishes they ate. so difficult to do.

It's not difficult to make, it takes a little more time and effort, and the ingredients used are more expensive. How can it highlight their taste and make them feel that the money is worth it.

Cooking only one dish in a month was a bit torturous, so Jiang Feng not only finished Jiang's ginseng soup, but also had the cheek to learn one more dish, which was the phoenix egg he had seen in Jiang Chengde's memory earlier.

If there is any difference in the study during this period, it is that there is one more person who learned cooking with Jiang Feng, that is, Zhou Shi, Peng Changping's official disciple.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Shi has a new cat.

He ordered this cat at the cattery during Chinese New Year. At that time, Zhou Shi thought that he would spend the rest of his life opening and closing shops, raising cats, falling in love, getting married, and having children. That's why he decided on this cat. cat. As a result, I didn't expect the turn of events, the career ushered in a second spring, and I started to work hard again when I turned 30.

People are starting to work hard, and cats are also starting to work hard.

Since Zhou Shi goes out early and returns late every day, except for sleeping, the rest of the time is basically in Yonghejuli, so the cat owner is alone at home without tigers in the mountains, and the kitten is called the king. Every day when I dragged my tired body back home to greet the week, what I saw was not a warm and tidy home, but a display of the results of the desktop cleaning master that day.

Zhou Shi can't raise or train cats, let alone have time to train cats. Once at lunch, Zhou Shi casually complained to Jiang Feng that he was not suitable for raising cats at all. A person like him who has neither time nor money is not suitable for raising cats that require time or money. money pets.

Then this was heard by Peng Changping.

Jiang Feng also discovered Peng Changping's second hobby after acting.

cats.

Peng Changping has raised seven cats in total.

Since Peng Changping retired, he has both money and leisure. He sees that all the old men around him have dogs, and they pass the time by walking them every day. But he doesn't like walking the dog very much. After all, the dog is not good enough to walk him, so he started raising a cat.

Peng Changping’s idea at the beginning was very simple. The lifespan of cats and dogs is only more than ten years. He started raising cats in his sixties. It is a good choice and experience to have a pet on the last journey of your life.

As a result, the great-grandchildren of his first cat died, and his body is still strong.

Sending away seven cats one after another, Peng Changping really didn't want to experience the feeling of giving away his beloved pet several times, so he simply gave up raising cats and raised his great-grandson instead.

Hearing that Zhou Shi couldn't even handle a cat well, Peng Changping felt it was time to show his true talent.

So, Peng Changping's daily routine became, after breakfast, first go to Zhou Shi's house to see the cat, then come to Yonghe Residence to see his apprentice and Jiang Feng, then go to Zhou Shi's house to see the cat, then go to have lunch, and after dinner, first go to see the cat Check Zhou Shi and Jiang Feng's progress again.

It can be said that Peng Changping did not spend as much time with the cat as he did with Zhou Shi and Jiang Feng every day.

Regarding this, Jiang Feng and Zhou Shi:? ? ?

At two o'clock in the afternoon on August 31st, the poor Jiang Feng and Zhou Shi ate the unpalatable staff meal at Yongheju as usual, and sighed deeply when they looked at the braised pork ribs in the bowl, which was obviously not cooked properly.

"How long has Master Peng been in the kitchen this morning?" Jiang Feng looked sad.

"Twenty minutes. Master is going to take Fat Tiger to get vaccinated this morning. I don't know when he will be here in the afternoon." Zhou Shi was equally sad.

In fact, his cat was not called Fat Tiger, but Puff, but I don’t know if Zhou Shi’s pronunciation is wrong or Peng Changping’s is wrong. The cat still thinks that he is called Pang Hu, but Puff has no reaction at all.

"I think you have to send your fat tiger back to your hometown to let your mother help to raise it. It's tiring for Master Peng to go back and forth and change his coat every day," Jiang Feng suggested.

Zhou Shi shook his head: "It's not necessary. Master said that he will go back to the United States after the competition. I am already preparing to apply for a visa. If Master likes it, let him take care of it first. When the time comes, I will send him back to my hometown to be raised by my mother." of."

Speaking of the competition, Zhou Shi suddenly realized that since Chef Arnold proposed this reality show, there has been no further action. He asked curiously, "Is there any follow-up to that competition? For example, when will it start?"

This time it was Jiang Feng's turn to shake his head: "No, there's been no news from Chef Arnold. I added him on WeChat and he hasn't sent me a message. It's not easy for me to ask him."

Speaking of which, Chef Arnold has been very low-key during this time. After returning to work in the restaurant on the top floor, he also goes to work in a well-regulated manner, without causing any extra troubles. Taifenglou ran away with two stove chefs at once, and the restaurant on the top floor did not concentrate its firepower on Taifenglou, as if the wonton eaten showed the friendship between him and Jiang Feng.

But Jiang Feng knew that this was just an illusion, because Chef Arnold had never liked his circle of friends, not even once.

"But I think it's quite normal. I checked that their programs usually start after the National Day, and they record and broadcast while recording. I think it will be fine as long as the competition system can be released in early September." Jiang Feng felt that since Zhou Shi Chef Arnold has already been mentioned, so I'm really sorry for Zhou Shi's initiative to bring up this topic if we talk about it in depth.

Once, the information between them and the top restaurant was very unequal. The top-floor restaurant has done an excellent job of keeping secrets. They don't know many things, especially about Chef Arnold. Even Chef Arnold didn't know until a few days later when he ran away last time.

It's different now, they have an intelligence officer who penetrates into the enemy's interior - Tao Shu.

Tao Shu himself didn't realize how excellent an intelligence officer he was.

The last time Tao Shu and Zhou Shi came to the apprentice banquet, they happened to bump into Chef A Nuo, and instead of being fired, he was remembered by Chef A Nuo. The factions of Chinese and Western chefs in the restaurant on the top floor are very clear. All the stove chefs and main chef assistants are basically foreign chefs. There are few local chefs, and many of them are handymen. There is basically no communication between the two groups.

Tao Shu used to be just dawdling around waiting to die, and he went to work at the top-floor restaurant because the salary at the top-floor restaurant was relatively high.

But it's different now, Chef Arnold remembers him.

Jiang Feng felt that Chef Arnold was probably the only one who could convince people that he was not racist.

He basically discriminates against everyone and everyone is equal.

After Chef A Nuo memorizes Tao Shu, he will often call him to help him. The more times, Tao Shu will notice many habits of Chef A Nuo, even if something is wrong with Chef A Nuo, he will be very sensitive notice it.

In addition, Tao Shu is a talker, and there is no one to talk about work matters. Even though Zhou Shi has been accepted as an apprentice by Peng Changping, because Tao Shu doesn't understand the complex love-hate relationship between Chef Arnold and Peng Changping, he still writes small essays and diaries every day as before to force Zhou Shi Daily life today.

I had to carefully observe the messages that Tao Shu sent to Zhou Shi every day, so that I could know what Chef Arnold did today.

"Is there anything unusual about Chef Arnold recently?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

"Nothing unusual, it's still the same as usual. Every day in the kitchen I yell at the person in charge of purchasing that he must have embezzled money again. The vegetables I purchased are not fresh enough, and the meat I purchased is not top-quality." Zhou Shi took a bite of the braised pork ribs and put it down silently. chopsticks.

"Is the top-floor restaurant responsible for purchasing so darkly?" Jiang Feng didn't believe it. The top-floor restaurant dared to sell the dishes so expensive. A large part of the reason was that their cost was high and the ingredients were all the best.

"That's why Tao Shu told me that he felt that Chef Arnold just found someone to get angry because he couldn't find anyone recently." Zhou Shi smiled.

Jiang Feng still felt that something was wrong. Chef Arnold had a reason to get angry every time, and it was absolutely impossible for him to get angry for no reason.

Just when Jiang Feng was wondering what he felt was wrong, Zhou Shi pointed to his mobile phone on the table: "You have new news on WeChat."

Jiang Feng picked up his phone to look at it, and it turned out to be a message from Chef Arnold.

The competition is out.

Jiang Feng clicked on the message.
