Chapter 712 Revenge
Jiang Feng had discussed a lot with Ji Yue and the others in the past few days about how to welcome Sun Jikai so that he could feel the warmth of society and the most direct experience of Tai Feng Tower's care for its employees.
Ji Yue felt that there was nothing that a barbecue could not solve. As soon as Sun Jikai got off the plane and put away his luggage, everyone went straight to the barbecue stall. After two glasses of beer, Sun Jikai would become his truest self.
Jiang Feng didn't think so.
Ji Xia thought that everyone could treat Sun Jikai to a feast, including roast duck, pig's trotters, braised pork, and lamb chops, as well as various desserts such as chocolate ice cream and iced cola. Sun Jikai would definitely be able to eliminate all his worries.
Jiang Feng felt that Ji Xia must have eaten junk food secretly again.
Wu Minqi thought that Sun Jikai's fried beef could be priced at the same price as Ji Xue's.
Wang Xiulian thinks it won’t work.
Zhang Guanghang thinks that everyone can go to a concert together to cultivate their mood and relax their body and mind.
Everyone, including Ji Yue, thought it was not possible.
After several days of intense discussion, Jiang Feng finally persuaded Wang Xiulian to reduce the price of Ji Xue's dry-fried beef by 4 yuan, and increase the price of Sun Jikai's by 4 yuan, allowing Sun Jikai's dry-fried beef to reach the same level as Ji Xue for the first time in history - -The three new ones this time are all pure Cantonese chefs. If Qiu Fu is willing to make dry-fried beef river, Jiang Feng thinks that Sun Jikai and Ji Xue's dry-fried beef river can be offline.
In addition to this inconsequential preparation, the Jiang family also made some very useful preparations.
For example, they were promised five insurances and one housing fund, including food and accommodation. Jiang Jiandang contacted the housing agency and rented out two-bedroom apartments on the 19th, 18th and 16th floors of the same building that met the standards of employee dormitories, including one. The one with the best lighting and fine decoration is for Sun Maocai, and Sun Jikai and Qiu Fu can choose which one they want to live in.
Considering that Sun Jikai had just gone through a brutal inheritance battle and was left with nothing and might be destitute, Jiang Jianshe thoughtfully prepared all the things he might need in life. Needless to say, toothbrushes, towels, dishwashing detergent, and laundry detergent. He even bought hundreds of rolls of garbage bags and kept them in the cabinet. He just didn't know if Sun Jikai would be able to use up these garbage bags in his lifetime.
The interview was scheduled for August 2. In order not to waste time, Sun Maocai and the other three arrived a day early and arrived on the evening of August 1. When the plane landed at 10 o'clock, Jiang Feng, a young pick-up expert, was still there to pick him up.
In order to highlight the importance Taifeng Tower attaches to Sun Maocai, not only Jiang Feng, a skilled worker, was sent to pick up the plane this time, but also Zhang Guanghang, the face of Taifeng Tower. Because of Zhang Guanghang, Jiang Feng's first airport pick-up was not by subway but by Zhang Guanghang's dash. Finally, he had some capitalist status.
"Lao Zhang, do you know what date the house manager and the others have set the summer banquet for?" Jiang Feng sat in the passenger seat, checked his phone and confirmed the flights of Sun Maocai and the others again.
"Orchid said they have to wait for the results of the food tasting tomorrow before they can make a reservation, but the invitation letter has already been prepared and the date can be decided once the menu comes out, which should be next week at the earliest. There is no need to rush this kind of thing." Zhang Guanghang concentrated on watching the road. .
In May, the top-floor restaurant relied on the lucky draw of the chef's set meal to win away many high-quality customers from Tai Fung House. The business of Tai Fung House was in a slump for a while, and it has only eased slightly now. Liang Zi has been forged. Since we are going to fight back, we have to treat others in their own way, so Fang Mei proposed that Tai Feng Tower could take up the name of Sun Maocai and invite those who have lost and never gained. Premium customers in the top-floor restaurant enjoy a midsummer feast.
It’s easy to find a good name. Tai Fung House has newly hired top Cantonese chef Sun Maocai and launched a new menu. Gute invited some diners to taste the new menu and give their opinions. Jiang Feng believed that most of the guests would not refuse such invitations once they were sent out.
The name Fang Mei has been chosen, so the August banquet will naturally be called the Midsummer Banquet.
Jiang Feng was sending a message to Ji Yue. Although Ji Yue's proposal to treat Sun Jikai to a barbecue was rejected by Jiang Feng, she still felt that only barbecue could soothe Sun Jikai's hurt heart these days. So she still refused to give up and asked Jiang Feng to ask Sun Jikai if he wanted to have barbecue when he picked him up. Anyway, it was almost time to get off work. If she wanted to treat everyone to a barbecue downstairs, she could just go home and sleep for tomorrow. holiday.
Jiang Feng replied "ok" to Ji Yue.
After replying to the message, Jiang Feng remembered that Zhang Guanghang seemed to have learned the craft from Sun Maocai, and he should be quite familiar with Sun Maocai.
"By the way, Lao Zhang, I remember you said before that you learned several dishes from Master Sun Maocai. You should be quite familiar with him," Jiang Feng said.
Zhang Guanghang was still looking at the road attentively, without turning his head: "We have had a relationship with each other. If we say that I am learning to cook, it is actually just a few days of instruction from him. To say that I am familiar with him, I am not particularly familiar with him."
"You made a special trip to Hong Kong City to consult with him?" Jiang Feng was a little curious.
"No, we met when we participated in a cooking competition before." Zhang Guanghang said, "Actually, if we really want to discuss it, Master Sun and Chef Arnold should be quite familiar with each other."
"Ah?" Jiang Feng was shocked.
Zhang Guanghang began to explain to Jiang Feng.
Because there are very few cooking competitions held in China, the most prestigious cooking competitions recognized by the culinary industry are all hosted abroad. Most of the domestic cooking competitions are corporate in nature and mostly local. The previous Good Taste Cooking Competition was so large that it expanded the competition area to the whole country. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many capable young chefs, so the second edition The Good Taste Cooking Competition becomes the chef selection competition at Tai Fung House.
Because of the different cooking methods, domestic chefs rarely participate in foreign cooking competitions. Even if they do, most of them fail to achieve good results due to the different tastes of the judges in away games. Over the years, only domestic chefs like to participate in cooking competitions. Sun Maocai is alone.
It can't be said that he likes it. Sun Maocai doesn't participate in competitions very frequently. He only participates once or twice a year to communicate and learn from other chefs. He doesn't have a strong desire to win or lose. But after all, his strength and ranking in the celebrity chef list are there. Even if he participates casually, he can achieve good results, either first or second. Chef Arnold will be ranked second if he participates, and chef Arnold will be ranked first if he does not participate. The two always meet once a year in a cooking competition, so Zhang Guanghang feels that they should have some friendship, although it is probably not a good friendship.
Speaking of this, Zhang Guanghang also specifically mentioned Chef Arnold's hobby that is not worth mentioning as the villain's boss - cooking.
As a well-known chef in the United States who once shined on reality shows with his harsh words, Chef Arnold's biggest hobby is to torture food, and the way he does it is to participate in cooking competitions. Other famous chefs like him participate in cooking competitions to give face to the organizers. He is the only one who participates because of his love. There are even some cooking competitions where he should obviously sit on the judges' table, as long as he wants to and it happens. When he has time, for example, when his old boss has just been fired but a new boss has not yet been found, he must become a player.
After defeating his opponent, Chef Arnold also took an unusual approach. Instead of encouraging or pretending to be relieved, he would also ridicule his opponent. They say that even if you practice for ten more years, you can still be called a genius. Today's young people are really inferior to each other. Such standard villain-style words.
Why did Zhang Guanghang remember it so clearly? It was because these words were what Chef Arnold said to him when he participated in a cooking competition.
Yes, geniuses like Zhang Guanghang were also beaten badly by Chef Arnold back then.
After listening, Jiang Feng:...
In other words, he suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to understand that Chef Arnold suddenly mocked him the last time he met him at the market.
After all, this is someone's hobby.
Chef Arnold's hobby is to abuse food and ridicule others.
"Lao Zhang, do you think that if we snatch away all the guests from the top-floor restaurant, Chef Arnold will be so angry that he jumps off his feet?" Jiang Feng made a bold guess.
"That's not the case. Chef Arnold will try his best to win back the guests and then mock them severely." Zhang Guanghang said, "He is a very principled person. He admires those who are better than him and looks down upon those who are better than him. Weak.”
"Who does he admire?"
Zhang Guanghang thought for a while: "Maybe it's just Master Peng."
"After all, he has said more than once that there is a problem with the ranking of the celebrity chef list and he should be ranked second. I remember he said before that Master Blake, who is ranked second, is ranked second entirely because of his age." Zhang Guanghang was a little helpless. Authentic, "Master Black is 96 years old and has been in a wheelchair for three or four years."
"Actually, many people think this is the case, but Chef Arnold is the only one who said this in public."
Jiang Feng:...
"Lao Zhang, just park your car later and I'll pick you up. Then you can send me your location so I can't find a parking space." Jiang Feng decisively changed the topic.
What is the villain Chef Arnold doing at this moment?
He was having a video conference with Roland with an impatient expression on his face, and a bullshit boss who in his mind could do nothing but give him too much money.
Chef Arnold is already in a trance, and the boss on the tablet is still talking about the future strategic plan of the top-floor restaurant.
"According to our big data analysis, the top-level restaurant has now completed the first phase of its goals. Next, we have to shift our focus. In addition to top-level diners, we must also capture the middle- and upper-level diners. We are ready and expect to This year we can open three more Michelin three-star Western restaurants in Peiping. When the Peking Market is won, we will march south. Then we will have to trouble Mr. Arnold..."
Arnold interrupted the bullshit boss's speech with an impatient look: "You conquer your market, it's none of my business."
The boss at the other end of the video:?
"Mr. Arnold, I remember we agreed at the beginning that this time you..."
"I just came to Peiping this time to help you defeat the Chinese restaurants in Peiping and let this garbage restaurant gain a foothold. The rest is none of my business. I have no interest in your so-called alliance formed by a bunch of rookies. I Have you signed a contract? ”
Boss:......
"Actually we..."
"Don't call me for this bullshit meeting from now on. It's a waste of my time and you won't pay overtime." Chef Arnold left immediately, not forgetting to cut off the video conference as he left.
Roland:...
After cutting off the video conference, Chef Arnold felt much better and his expression softened a bit. He took out the book "My Chinese Classroom 1 to 3" that he had been studying recently and asked while reading: "Tai Feng Building is on holiday tomorrow. Have you found out the reason? ”
He said the three words "Taifeng Tower" in Chinese, which made the whole sentence seem particularly strange.
Roland:...
The chef of his former two-Michelin-starred restaurant was actually reduced to a soldier trying to find out information. It was simply unbearable!
Forget it, just endure it. He was defrauded when investing last year and lost all his money and almost went bankrupt. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a good chef. He would go all the way to Peking for money to compete in a ring with a group of people he didn't know. Now he is fighting in the ring. The position of chef is gone.
"After asking around clearly, it seems that Tai Feng Tower used some method to poach Sun Maocai, and he will join the job tomorrow," Roland said.
Arnold nodded, not paying much attention: "What about their Jiang Feng? Have you been to Yongheju recently?"
"No." Roland said.
Arnold mused.
When Roland saw Chef Arnold's appearance, he wanted to gossip. He asked cautiously: "Chef Arnold, why are you here?"
In Roland's opinion, Chef Arnold would not be here because of money like him - Chef Arnold is much richer than him, and if it was because of money, he would not be so tough on the boss.
Chef Arnold's face instantly darkened, and he revealed a very scary-looking sneer with a bit of a smile on his face.
