Chapter 118 Return to School
In the next ten days, until the beginning of school, Jiang Feng honed his cooking skills painfully and happily under the supervision of the two old men.
Jiang Weiming originally planned to return to Shu after the New Year, but because of Jiang Feng's temporary infatuation, he did not return to Shu. Instead, he had to follow them to City A after school started. Anyway, Jiang Jianguo's house has five bedrooms, so it's not hard to accommodate an extra old man.
Jiang Feng's cooking skills have also made qualitative progress in these just ten days.
Perhaps thanks to his advanced knife skills, seasoning, and heat, Jiang Feng seemed to have been enlightened by the game, and his learning speed was more than twice as fast as before. He didn't feel it when he was frying potatoes before, but in the past ten days, he really felt it. Not only him, but also the old man noticed it.
Jiang Weiguo has been wondering for a while. Could it be that his little grandson is actually quite talented in cooking, but it's just that he didn't have the eye for discernment and never discovered it, leaving Jiang Feng buried until now.
On the last day, Jiang Feng made Babao Tofu that satisfied both old men.
Jiang Weiming couldn't hold back for a moment, and pulled Jiang Weiguo away and asked in a low voice: "Brother, you said Xiaofeng's talent is average, how good is Jianguo's talent?"
Jiang Weiguo: "..."
"Just...it's okay..."
……
Except for Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian, everyone else was driven away by the old man after the Lantern Festival, leaving no room for food. This made several of Jiang Feng's uncles lament and could only praise Jiang Jiankang for giving birth to a good son. .
School is about to start the day after tomorrow. After making the last batch of eight-treasure tofu and everyone in the family reviewed it, everyone started packing and getting ready to take the minibus back to City Z.
Before leaving, the old man took hold of Grandma Jiang and told her to drive Erhua out and move around more. Grandma Jiang didn't take it seriously.
"Okay, the piggies we raised since childhood are so fat that they can only eat every day. I can see that Erhua weighs more than 400 kilograms. By the time they are slaughtered in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will probably weigh 500 kilograms. You won't be afraid of losing meat if you let it move a lot." Grandma Jiang said, "Five flowers love to move, I will take good care of them. I will go to the town in a few days to see if there are any good piglets."
"Don't raise so many, you can't take care of them by yourself." Jiang Weiguo said. Seeing that everything was almost packed, he ordered: "Jiankang, Jiankang, where did you go? Get your luggage and leave!"
After a lot of trouble, we arrived in City Z. The high-speed train to City A was in the afternoon and would arrive in the evening. We didn't go home and went straight to the train station. On the way, Jiang Jiankang was busy calling the supplier of the healthy stir-fry restaurant.
He is a restless person and has to open a store from today to tomorrow.
As soon as he got on the high-speed rail, Jiang Feng received a call from the organizer of the Good Taste Cooking Competition.
Good Taste has set up a total of 4 competition areas across the country, and because the headquarters of Good Taste is in City A, the advertising intensity in City A is the greatest. In subway stations, bus stations and train stations, wherever there is a large flow of people, there are overwhelming advertisements for the Good Taste Cooking Competition. This has also led to the largest number of registrations for the competition in City A among the four competition areas in the country. Many people who are not even chefs, but just simple cooking enthusiasts, also joined in the fun and signed up to participate in the competition.
Therefore, this division has the earliest start time.
Jiang Feng was scheduled to compete at 9 a.m. on March 11, which was also the first game of the day. The audition model is also very interesting. The organizer provides the ingredients and designates a dish. There are 100 people per session and 100 public judges. The judges are composed of 30 old people, 30 children and 40 young adults. There will be numbers on the bottom of the dishes. Each person is assigned to taste 10 dishes, and they vote for the five dishes they think are still good. The top 50 people vote. of contestants advance, and the last fifty are eliminated.
Not only that, but the competition mode of the preliminaries is also the same. There will be no professional judges until the top 32 are decided. Before the top 32, the competition will also be broadcast live online. The live broadcast platform is exclusively named by a certain point live broadcast. A cooking competition is like a talent show.
Of course, all condiments in this competition will be exclusively provided by Good Taste Company.
Starting from the top 32, viewers can log in to the Good Taste official account through WeChat every day to vote for their favorite contestants. The contestant with the highest number of votes will also be endorsed by Good Taste Soy Sauce for a year.
The entire competition process can be said to be very commercial.
Good Taste Company attaches great importance to this year's competition. If this competition causes a sensation and creates a huge response, then it can do the same every year in the future, and the invisible advertising alone can create huge profits for the company.
Jiang Feng told several people at home about the game situation. The Jiang family was extravagant this time, and everyone bought business seats.
Wang Xiulian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Hey, when the time comes to participate in the competition, you should dress up and dress up handsomely. It tastes great. Doesn't such a big company spend a lot of money for endorsements in a year?"
When Wang Xiulian said this, Jiang Feng also reacted. He didn't pay much attention to the endorsement when he just listened. After all, it was too far away from him.
But if he can really become the contestant with the highest call votes based on his handsome face, wouldn't he have to pay for the decoration of Tai Feng Building?
You can start the main mission now!
"Yes, although our son's cooking skills are not the best, and there is a high probability that he will not win the championship, but our son looks good and energetic!" Jiang Jiankang thought it was okay, "I will pay for our son to get a 998 hairstyle when we get back. , make it trendier, just like the young man who sings and dances on TV.”
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
"You have a lot of things to do. Go back and get some facial cleanser to wash your face and put on a facial mask. That's it. I'll pay you back 998. Do you have the money? You'll pay back 998!" Wang Xiulian scolded, then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "Son, don't listen. Your dad, Hu Lilie, just wash your face with mom’s facial cleanser when you get back, and then apply a moisturizing mask like the one from my beauty salon.”
Jiang Feng: "..."
"Oh."
……
Jiang Jianguo arrived at the train station early to pick up the two old men. Jiang Jiankang and his wife wanted to go back to the store to pack their things. Jiang Feng also wanted to go to the dormitory to clean up first. They were divided into three groups, each doing their own thing.
There was no one living there during the winter vacation, and the dormitory had accumulated a lot of dust. Although Wang Hao was a local from City A, he was never willing to share the task of cleaning the dormitory by himself, so he had to wait for Jiang Feng to come before returning to the dormitory. The two of them worked for almost an hour before cleaning up the dormitory, making the bed, and going to the cafeteria to eat.
Wang Hao frowned at the braised short ribs and sweet and sour pork on the plate, and complained: "Brother Feng, your family opened a restaurant in the food court, and the two of us have to be reduced to eating in the canteen. What is this? Ah!”
After Wang Hao tasted the old man's cooking, he didn't like the food in the school cafeteria anymore. He didn't eat in the healthy stir-fry restaurant for a whole winter vacation, and he actually lost weight because of the big fish and meat every day during the Chinese New Year.
"Opening tomorrow." Jiang Feng said.
Because school didn’t start until the day after, there weren’t many people in the cafeteria. There were a few people wearing the same work clothes who were asking people at tables one by one, holding something like a flyer or questionnaire about what you planned to do.
Jiang Feng looked strange and asked, "What are they talking about?"
Wang Hao raised his head and glanced: "Is there any staff from the Tasty Cooking Competition? They seem to be doing some kind of public judging, they are food tasters, and they give quite a lot of money, 100 yuan a day. Two days ago. When I was shopping with my grandparents, someone would hand out flyers to my grandparents.”
"Oh? Your grandparents agreed?"
"I must agree. The two of them have nothing to do at home every day. They just try a few bites of the food and vote a few times. Grandma likes to join in the fun. She will go even if you don't pay. Brother Feng, do you want to join in the fun? "Wang Hao said he disliked the food in the cafeteria, but in fact he was happier than anyone else eating the braised short ribs.
"I signed up to compete. The audition will be held at nine o'clock in the morning on the 11th." Jiang Feng said.
"Brother Feng is awesome!" Wang Hao was very cooperative and boasted without thinking. "Brother Feng, if you win a national championship, then your scholarship this year will be guaranteed!"
Jiang Feng:?
Seeing Jiang Feng's confused look, Wang Hao explained: "You have forgotten, if our college wins the championship in the national competition, it will add five points of comprehensive quality points!"
Jiang Feng:...
this operation.
"Our college should be referring to the official one. This cooking competition seems to be privately run." Jiang Feng was shocked.
"Private ones should count, after all, it's a national competition. For such a large-scale competition, the academy will definitely give you extra points. Even if it can't add 5 points, it can still give you two or three points." Wang Hao said.
Jiang Feng: Nothing seems wrong.
But why does it feel so strange...(End of Chapter)
