Chapter 658 Chef Arnold
When Jiang Feng woke up in the morning of the second day, his first reaction was to check the time on his mobile phone and he was shocked. An unknown number called him 11 times in a row. The additional display of the unknown number was express delivery/takeaway.
A total of 11, each showing 8 or 9 ringing sounds. Because there was a precedent of being directly awakened by unknown harassing calls at two or three in the morning, Jiang Feng would put his mobile phone in silent mode before going to bed at night, and he was not even allowed to vibrate.
Jiang Feng recalled that he had not shopped online recently, so he classified this unknown number as a sales promotion. He also sighed in his heart that sales are so dedicated these days. He started making sales calls at around 6 o'clock in the morning, and he persisted in making so many calls. Telephone.
He doesn't look like he can afford a house. Could it be that he sells insurance?
After Jiang Feng changed his clothes, he went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. When he brushed his teeth, he felt that the smell of the barbecue he had eaten last night was still in his mouth. The mint-flavored foam in his mouth tasted like mutton skewers.
The ancients described good music as having a lingering sound that lingers for three days. Jiang Feng felt that Peng Changping's BBQ was almost as good as if it didn't last for three days. Anyway, it was an exaggerated rhetorical technique.
I just don’t know if there is still a chance to eat Peng Changping’s BBQ. In fact, you don’t need BBQ, you can just stir-fry vegetables.
When Jiang Feng was practicing cooking, the old man always criticized Jiang Feng's pig food by saying that even when Jiang Chengde fried vegetables, they tasted like grass jelly. At that time, Jiang Feng didn't believe it. After all, he had never tasted jelly grass and didn't know whether it was delicious or not. But in just over a year, he has met so many famous chefs besides the old man. He has eaten Babao Chestnut Pigeon, chickpea pudding, Tan’s cuisine, and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall yesterday. Now, Even the BBQ made by Peng Changping, who is ranked No. 1 on the celebrity chef list, was full.
It wasn't until last night that Jiang Feng realized that he had always thought that the old man's statement that Jiang Chengde's stir-fried vegetables were all flavored with grass jelly was an exaggerated rhetorical technique, just because he had too little knowledge. Peng Changping can make BBQ so delicious, why can't Jiang Chengde stir-fry green vegetables to taste like grass?
After washing up, Jiang Feng came to the living room and found that the house was extremely quiet this morning. Not only was it quiet, but there was no familiar smell of spicy food.
The living room was quiet, and there was no other person except Jiang Feng. There was only an empty plate and a jar of unopened pickled radishes that Jiyue's mother had just sent two days ago. There were no chopsticks and no traces of food.
Jiang Feng walked into the kitchen and found that the stove was clean and the stew pot was set to keep warm. Inside was a pot of hot white porridge. The big iron spoon was placed next to the stew pot, and there was no sign that the porridge in the pot had been scooped out. There is a lot of spicy food in the refrigerator, and the cold noodles Wu Minqi just made yesterday are also placed in the same place. It seems that Wu Minqi only set it to cook white porridge last night, and did nothing this morning.
Since she didn't do it, what about her?
Went for morning exercise?
Just when Jiang Feng was hesitating whether to take over the power of breakfast again and cook his best bowl of green onion and egg noodles cooked with noodles bought in the supermarket, the door opened.
The house instantly became lively, Wu Minqi, Ji Yue, Ji Xia and Ji Xue walked in together.
"Jiang Feng, are you up?" Wu Minqi was holding a few small plastic bags in her hands, which were obviously the breakfast she had just gone downstairs to buy.
Ji Xia was holding pancake fruit in her mouth, Ji Yue was holding a big bag, and Ji Xue was holding a plate.
"Just now when I went downstairs to buy hair cakes and bean curds, I happened to meet Xia Xia coming back from buying breakfast. Now that A Yue and A Xue have something to give us, I invited them to come to my house for breakfast. I also cooked a pot You can each drink a small bowl of white porridge to warm your stomach." Wu Minqi said with a smile, "It was too greasy after eating so much barbecue last night. Let's eat something light this morning."
Ji Xue consciously carried the plate to the refrigerator and put the plate in the refrigerator.
"This is the beef patty I made last night. You can fry it and eat it tomorrow morning." Ji Xueyao said.
Ji Yue put the bag on the ground as soon as she entered the door. She didn't want to lift it up now because she was obviously overwhelmed. This is a new thing for Ji Yue. As an excellent waiter at Tai Feng Building, there are not many things that can overwhelm her.
"This area was sent by my grandma. I thought it was just a small item and didn't pay much attention to it. I just went to pick it up last night. I was shocked when I got it. There was a whole box full of bacon, pickled lamb legs, salted duck, and salted fish. , soy sauce duck, and sausages were all made by my grandma during this time, so I picked some and brought them over to you," Ji Yue said.
Jiang Feng:?
Jiang Feng looked at the big bag on the ground, then looked at Ji Yue and asked, "That big box yesterday... did you get it back alone?"
"Yes, I dragged them all the way back. If I had known that my grandma would send me so many things, I would have asked Xia Xia and A Xue to come with me." Ji Yue said.
"I originally wanted to give some more to Aunt Wang and Grandpa Jiang. But my grandma called me this morning and asked me if the things had been sent. She will send me another batch in two days. I will send them in two days. Let’s wait until the day is over. Try it first to see if it tastes good.”
While they were talking, Wu Minqi had already put the beancurd in a bowl, poured the steamed cake into a plate, and put 5 bowls of white porridge on the table.
The reason why she cooked a big pot of porridge was because she originally planned to only drink porridge this morning, so she cooked so much. But after getting up, Wu Minqi changed her mind. She felt that porridge was not filling and was too light, so she went downstairs to buy breakfast.
Although the breakfast on the table is all white, it looks rich now in large quantities. The hot white porridge is just right in thickness and makes your stomach feel warm after drinking it.
The five of them sat around the dining table and drank porridge together. Ji Xia looked particularly out of place when he took a mouthful of white porridge and a mouthful of pancakes and fruit.
"Ji Zhizi, haven't you eaten? Why are you just eating pancakes and fruit in Xia Xia?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Eat. What we ate this morning was fried beef patties, and I also cooked soy milk. But Xia Xia wasn't full, so she ran out to buy pancakes and fruits." Ji Yue said.
Jiang Feng looked at the pancake with egg and meat in Ji Xia's hand, and realized that he thought Ji Xia's appetite had become bigger again during this period, not because he thought it was Ji Xia's appetite, but because Ji Xia's appetite had really increased again.
It is estimated that the average adult man nowadays does not have as much appetite as Ji Xia.
After Ji Xia and the others finished their hot porridge, they went up to pack their things and prepare to go to work in Tai Feng Building. Only after seeing the three people left did Jiang Feng dare to speak: "Qiqi, do you feel that Xia Xia's appetite is getting bigger and bigger now, and she can't do anything better than before?" Eat too much.”
"I can eat better than before. Xia Xia used to eat a little more than one bowl, but now she can probably eat two bowls." Wu Minqi saw Jiang Feng's expression and knew what he was worried about, "Xia Xia can eat at her current age. It’s normal. You can eat it even if you grow taller during adolescence. Don’t look at it. Xia Xia seems to be fatter than before. As long as she grows taller, she will lose weight quickly.”
"What if I can't lose weight?" Jiang Feng didn't believe it. Chen Xiuxiu was able to eat very well when she was in high school, but she didn't lose weight at all.
But in his memory, Chen Xiuxiu could eat it anytime.
Wu Minqi was silent: "Generally speaking, if you don't smoke vertically, you will only smoke horizontally."
Jiang Feng:...
Wu Minqi took the last mouthful of porridge and began to forcefully change the subject: "But why did Grandma Ji Yue suddenly make so much marinated meat?"
"I don't know. Maybe the old man has nothing to do at home and wants to find something to do." Jiang Feng successfully changed the topic, "My grandfather never raised anything when he was working, not even chickens and ducks. I started raising pigs in the countryside, maybe it was just a hobby.”
What Jiang Feng didn't know was that Ji Yue's grandma suddenly started spending huge sums of money, time and effort to make so many pickled meats so enthusiastically, not because of her hobby, but because Ji Yue's mother's pickled vegetables were a huge success.
Ji Yue's mother learned how to make pickles from Ji Yue's grandmother, and Ji Yue's aunts and uncles also know how to make pickles. In the beginning, only Ji Yue's mother and Ji Yue's aunt made pickles, and the supply exceeded demand. In addition to being used for cooking, these pickles were occasionally served to guests as side dishes. Later, Ji Yue's grandmother Lao Dang Yizhuang also started pickling vegetables. In addition, Ji Qiran was often unable to complete her homework and was caught by Ji Yue's mother to be a young man. The supply gradually increased, and Tai Feng House launched a random ordering system based on the price of the meal. Offer that gives you a small jar of pickles.
This promotion led some customers to pool their orders for pickled vegetables.
Ji Yue's two uncles originally ran a business with Ji Yue's father and prepared to make a comeback. Then halfway through the comeback, they realized that the possibility of making a comeback was not as great as returning home to make a fortune from pickles with their sister, so they abandoned Ji Yue. Dad went home to make pickles.
During the Chinese New Year, Ji Yue's family did a year-end inventory. Ji Yue's father discovered that he had worked hard for a year running a business outside, and was working hard and positive to prepare for a comeback. In the end, he didn't make enough money to make pickles at his wife's house. Earn more.
Jiyue's father, as an outstanding businessman who once monopolized more than half of the province's clothing wholesale business, immediately realized that instead of relying on the contacts he had accumulated to start from scratch through several years of hard work, it would be better to take advantage of his wife's influence and try another approach. Create greater glory. Then Jiyue's father gave up on making a comeback in the clothing industry and prepared to go big in the pickle industry.
Then everyone discovered that Ji Yue's father was good at doing business, he was shrewd and capable, he could make friends with people, he could talk to people and talk about ghosts and ghosts, he had a keen sense of smell and intuition, but he couldn't make pickles.
Ji Yue's family is now so short of people that they have started to pick people from Ji Yue's grandmother's village who are trustworthy, honest and reliable to work as apprentices.
So why did Grandma Jiyue start making bacon?
Ever since Ji Yue's father failed in business and almost went bankrupt, Ji Yue's grandma has been worried about them. But as an elderly person whose educational level is as good as Zhao Lanhua's, she couldn't think of any other way except to spend her savings, until Ji Yue's mother's great success in pickles showed her a clear path.
Grandma Ji Yue’s pickled vegetables are not the same as Grandma Ji Yue’s. The taste is far inferior, but the pickled meat is very unique and always wins unanimous praise from everyone during the Chinese New Year. However, since curing meat is cumbersome and complicated, Grandma Jiyue will only make some cured meat every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching and save it for the New Year.
Grandma Ji Yue's idea is very simple. Since Ji Yue's mother's pickled vegetables can achieve such a huge success, although her pickled meat is not as good as the pickled vegetables, it does not need to achieve such a great success. Even a small amount of success is satisfying to her and can help her son.
I just don’t know if Grandma Ji Yue has ever thought that Ji Yue’s father actually doesn’t know how to make bacon.
Ji Yue told Jiang Feng and the others these intricate stories on the way to work.
Jiang Feng & Wu Minqi:......
"Then your house...hasn't it become a pickle workshop now?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It's a regular small pickle factory. My family went through the formalities and got the license. It's legal!" Ji Yue said, "My dad and my uncle have been looking for a place during this time. They probably want to set up a factory."
Jiang Feng:...
"So Boss Jiang, you chefs must work hard! The livelihood of my whole family is closely tied to our Tai Feng Building!"
Jiang Feng:?
"Isn't business very good recently? I remember that after the spring package was launched, the customer traffic was very stable and the profit has always been made. Isn't the spring package not over yet? What's the rush? There is still more than half a month! If it doesn't work, we will launch another summer package Limited." Jiang Feng said.
Ji Yue glanced at Wu Minqi strangely, and Wu Minqi shook her head at him.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Feng was a little confused when he saw the interaction between the two people.
"It turns out your Qiqi didn't tell you, so I just said that you didn't look anxious or anxious at all this morning. I thought it was because you had a good attitude." Ji Yue clicked on her phone, and there was a poster in it. Screenshot, "This is the poster released at the top restaurant at 12 o'clock last night."
Jiang Feng took the phone and found that there were three people on the poster. One of them he knew was Roland, the chef of the top-floor restaurant. He was wearing a chef's uniform and posing in a very handsome posture, looking straight ahead. What makes Jiang Feng feel strange is that Roland is not the C position. The C position is a bearded foreign chef he has never seen before. Judging from the poster, this bearded chef has a very aura, and he does not look younger than his age. Part of it is white, and there is an inexplicable aura of domination of the protagonist Long Aotian.
"The top restaurant has changed its chef. Because of this change of chef, they will launch a limited-time chef's set menu next week. During the event, the chef's set menu will be 100% off, and 10 tables will be drawn every day for the next month. Customers are free of charge," Ji Yue said.
"The set menu is discounted and 10 tables are free every day?" Jiang Feng was shocked, "They are not doing business but doing charity."
"Are you crazy? Don't you feel that you are losing weight if you have so much money and start a price war like this?"
"Fengfeng, do you know who the middle one is on this poster?" Wu Minqi said.
"Who?"
"He is Chef Arnold, ranked sixth on the Celebrity Chef List, and the only chef in the top ten who still insists on being a chef in a restaurant."
Jiang Feng:...
"Fuck."
Good news, good news, my graduation thesis is expected to be finalized in one week, and normal updates can be resumed by then.
