Chapter 179 Prawns in Tomato Sauce
Jiang Feng especially wanted to say to Zhang Guanghang at this time: "You are already a mature contestant, please show everyone how to withdraw from the group!"
The desire to survive made him hold back.
"Are you short of money?" Zhang Guanghang was a little surprised.
"Due to some special reasons, we are short of decoration expenses." Jiang Feng said. Their family is definitely not short of money. They don't need any help from uncles. They can still make it by selling the facade of the healthy cooking restaurant and gritting their teeth and scraping together ten or ten million. If we can make it together, there will be no problem at all in reopening Tai Fung House.
However, the operations during the reopening, as well as the signage and management of the kitchen and lobby staff, were full of problems.
The first problem is the renovation cost. If the old man doesn't agree, no one can even think of reopening Tai Feng Building.
The air was suddenly quiet.
"Do you need me to lend you a loan?" Zhang Guanghang asked, "I have a trust. Although it is not much, it should be enough for decoration expenses."
Jiang Feng felt that among the people he knew, apart from Ji Yue and Ji Xue, he was the poorest.
After politely declining Zhang Guanghang, Jiang Feng quickly changed the subject and began to ask him about Xia Mubing. It's strange to say that when Jiang Feng checked Zhang Guanghang's information on the Internet some time ago, all the information was perfect, except that his master Xia Mubing's name could not even be found, so he was said to be a famous chef in Peiping.
"My master is a person with a very weird temper. He is rarely happy and never gives anyone a good look. He always speaks very meanly and offends many people. Just because he is older, senior and has good cooking skills. , has a bad temper, no one dares to offend him in person, he..." Zhang Guanghang slowly told him what he knew about Xia Mubing.
Xia Mubing was not only Chen Qiusheng's apprentice, but also his adopted son. Chen Qiusheng bought him from a human trafficker.
Chen Qiusheng is Xia Mubing's master, his benefactor, and his father, and Taifeng Tower is his ideal, his obsession, and his home.
Before the fall of Peiping, many people got the news and fled south early. Chen Qiusheng did not leave Peiping because his only son was too frail and sick to move far away, so he entrusted Xia Mubing, who was in his early twenties, to a friend to take care of him on the road. However, Chen Qiusheng entrusted him to a bad person. The friend he entrusted took away all the money and ran away, and Xia Mubing became a beggar.
Throughout his life, he had been a beggar, a bandit, a soldier, and fought in wars.
His hands held kitchen knives, machetes, and guns.
He had no wife or children, no friends, and only one direct disciple, Zhang Guanghang.
He is the true biography of Chen Qiusheng, has an eccentric temper, loves money as much as his life, is a famous chef in Peiping, but is not highly respected and has been privately criticized by many people.
Now, this old man who has been a legend in his life has become seriously ill and will die soon.
"The doctor said that he is hanging on by his breath now. When the breath stops, he will be almost dead."
"I wanted to let him see the opening of Tai Feng House before he left. It was just a coincidence that I signed up for this cooking competition, because the competition after the top 32 was in City A. I signed up. I was originally going to come here to look for Mr. Li. I didn’t expect to see you on the contestant’s profile.” Zhang Guanghangdao.
"So, please."
Jiang Feng can understand Zhang Guanghang's mood. After all, there are two old people in his family who are deeply obsessed with Taifeng Tower. However, money matters are not about hard work.
"I...work hard." Jiang Feng thought, and went back to discuss with the old man, so that everyone could pool together some money to open the business for Xia Mubing.
After chatting for a while, the staff came to notify the contestants to assemble.
There were only six players, and the uninformed players were all talking about what happened and why two people were missing.
"Dear players, please be quiet. In this competition, player Ji Xue of the fourth group withdrew due to family matters, so player Wu Minqi advanced directly. I believe everyone knows the rules and does not need to reiterate them."
"During the competition later, we will broadcast the timing every five minutes. There is a rest area on the field. You can just sit there and watch while others compete. And this time our jury will comment on the spot, and there will be more competitions. It will start in half an hour. If there are no problems, you can go to the front desk now to familiarize yourself with the venue. If you are not satisfied with the kitchenware, you can replace it on the spot.”
No one had any objections. Jiang Feng noticed that Zhang Qian was wearing a very pink and girly outfit today.
"Are you ready to lose?" Jiang Feng joked.
"Get ready. When I lose the game, my dad and I will go celebrate my mom's birthday. My dad took a special leave tonight and will not go to work. He will go home and cook a big meal for my mom later." Zhang Qian looked excited. .
Other players:? ? ?
This time, the proportion of young women in the audience was obviously higher. When Zhang Guanghang came on stage, Jiang Feng even heard a small exclamation. Ji Yue was sitting in the fourth row, among a group of young girls, wearing round glasses, staring intently at Zhang Guanghang, with "I want to marry this person now" written all over her face.
The Jiang family members were sitting in the second row, and they were still the most prominent row of strong men in the crowd. Everyone's face was filled with calmness and calmness.
Jiang Zaide changed his usual sluggishness and became energetic. He analyzed all the residential areas around Taifeng Building in the past few days, and finally selected a high-end residential area with convenient transportation, sound facilities, high green area, and guaranteed security. After checking house prices, looking at deposits, and calculating the average annual salary over the years, Jiang Zaide rekindled his fighting spirit and decided to work hard to lose his hair and try to buy the house he wanted in full within five years. .
He took two orders at once, preparing to push himself to death.
"Brother, come on!" Jiang Feng's loyal support group, sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian, shouted from their seats.
At eight o'clock, the game started on time.
Zhang Guanghang and Zhao Shan walked to their respective cooking tables. The screen behind them was cut into two pieces. The image was large and clear, and everyone could clearly see the movements of their hands.
Wash the shrimps, trim the beards and pick the shrimp threads.
It can be said that Zhao Shan is inferior to Zhang Guanghang in terms of technique, speed, proficiency, appearance, height and popularity.
This is a game where the ending can be seen from the beginning.
The shrimps are overheated with oil.
"Yes, they controlled the heat and time very well." Pei Shenghua, the most talkative among the judges, praised.
Leave a little in the pot, add minced ginger, garlic and tomato paste, and add the prawns.
"Zhao Shan didn't press the shrimp head." Pei Shenghua said again.
"Press the shrimp head?" Han Guishan, who couldn't understand anything, was confused.
"Pressing the shrimp head can make the shrimp roe flow out." Pei Shenghua explained.
"The tomato sauce prawns in their store are just ordinary." Tong Deyan snorted coldly.
"It's all like this. The fried double crispy ones in our store are also good." Pei Shenghua said, "Customers like it."
"Zhang Guanghang has studied Cantonese cuisine? The eggplant and prawns he cooks are very authentic!" Zhu Chang saw something.
"He visited Sun Maocai in Hong Kong two years ago. He should have learned a lot. If Zhao Shan chooses this dish, he will probably lose badly." Tong Deyan said that his relationship with Babao Zhai was not very good.
"Zhao Shan picked it?" Pei Shenghua said with a smile, "My cleverness went astray."
During the conversation, both of their tomato sauce prawns were cooked.
I have a lot of classes these two days, so I will make up for my fat chapter on the weekend (you know my definition of fat chapter, OTZ)
