Chapter 737 Drama Queen (2-in-1 5000+)
As expected by Jiang Feng, Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing started studying when they got back under the influence of the braised pork buff. Without even looking at their phones, they took out the unpressed and dog-eared math test paper at the bottom of the suitcase, grabbed a pen and picked up the grass. I put the manuscript paper into the water and started swimming in the ocean of mathematics. It was not until dinner time that I reluctantly went ashore to prepare to go out for dinner after being reminded by my fifth aunt.
If these two sisters can maintain their passion for learning every day, there is no need to worry about not being able to get into a prestigious school.
The fifth aunt was completely shocked. She even suspected that the two demon kings in her family had taken the wrong medicine. On the way to Yongheju, she couldn't help but talk to Jiang Feng about how abnormal the sisters were.
"Xiao Feng, you may not believe it when I tell you. Juan Lian and Juan Qing behaved very well after they came back this afternoon. They entered the room as soon as they came back. At first, I thought they went in to play with their phones and I was cleaning them. When I was in the living room, I found that their mobile phones were on the sofa and they hadn’t brought them into the room. I thought it was strange, so I went in and took a look.”
"Guess what I saw? They were studying! They were doing homework, writing papers, or math papers. I usually urged them hard and threatened them before they were willing to write some math papers. I wrote two math papers this afternoon. Ah! I even wonder if they took the wrong medicine." Aunt Wu felt that she was still living in a dream.
Jiang Feng, who knew exactly what his two cousins had eaten, smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.
"You two, if you had worked so hard this afternoon last semester, you wouldn't have been ranked so low in the finals." At this point, the fifth aunt even excitedly looked back from the co-pilot to the two girls.
But what she didn't know was that her two daughters, who had studied hard all afternoon, were also very confused.
Jiang Junlian poked Jiang Junqing, motioned her to put her ear closer and asked in a voice that even Jiang Feng, who was sitting next to them, couldn't hear: "Do you think our afternoon is particularly strange?"
Jiang Junqing nodded wildly. It was more than strange. When she finished writing the paper and went downstairs, she felt that she had gone crazy in the afternoon. She went into the room to do homework when she was not playing with her mobile phone. Even now, she is still thinking about the unfinished essay. question.
"I actually feel guilty for not doing my homework." Jiang Junqing whispered.
"Me too, I still want to go back and do my homework." Jiang Junlian agreed.
When Jiang Feng saw the two sisters sitting next to him, muttering something shameful, he deliberately raised his voice: "Juan Lian and Jun Qing, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Jiang Junlian suddenly felt that she no longer wanted to do her homework: "Roast duck!"
Jiang Feng:...
How could she still be thinking about roast duck after all this time?
However, the roast duck in Yongheju is really good. Jiang Feng has not had roast duck for a while and missed it, so he took out his mobile phone to send a message to his informant in Yongheju, that is, the young man with the lowest seniority who always mistakenly called him uncle. , and asked him to tell the chef responsible for slicing the duck in the back kitchen to ask him to be more careful when slicing it. Everything about Yongheju's roast duck is good, but the duck chef likes to chat so much that the quality of the duck is uneven.
The young man who secretly played with his cell phone and wanted to chat with his girlfriend did not receive a message from his girlfriend but received a message from Jiang Feng:?
How did Brother Feng know that he would play with his mobile phone at this time?
"Master Zhao, Brother Feng is coming to the store to eat roast duck later. He asked you not to chat while he slices the duck!" The little brother shouted loudly.
Master Zhao, who was happily chatting with the people next to him:?
"Oh, Jiang Feng, I haven't been back for a long time. Why hasn't he come to work recently? Has he changed his job?" Master Zhao said with a smile.
The nameless kitchen employee who was chatting with Master Zhao:?
"Master Zhao, Jiang Feng is the chef of Tai Feng Tower!"
Master Zhao was stunned: "Look at my memory, I forgot about this. Master Peng went to Tai Feng Tower for a midsummer banquet two days ago. Hey, where is Master Peng?"
"Master Peng is eating upstairs. He has been having dinner with the old man who had tea with him in the afternoons recently. Boss Lu went to have barbecue last night and posted it on WeChat Moments. I even liked it."
.
It was just before six o'clock when Jiang Feng arrived at Yongheju. It was a bit early and he wasn't too hungry. Lu Sheng reserved a seat by the window for him on the second floor, where he could both eat and enjoy the view. Although the view was of the barbecue restaurant opposite, it still counted as a view.
Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian knew how delicious the food in Yongheju was, so they clamored for roast duck and white fungus stew and went upstairs first.
The fifth aunt was very pleased - the white fungus stew was a vegetarian dish, and the two daughters finally started to like vegetables.
"Fifth Aunt, what do you want to eat tonight? The shark's fin and sea cucumber dishes in Yongheju are now delicious. They are not what they used to be. Would you like me to order some sea cucumbers roasted with green onions and let Master Zhang cook them? He is at work today. He The roasted sea cucumber with green onions is a must-have." Jiang Feng began to recommend dishes. He had stayed in Yonghe Residence for two months and knew exactly who had their days off and what their specialty dishes were.
"Just watch it, don't order too much." The fifth aunt said with a smile. She had taken care of the child alone for a year, and her temper had improved a lot.
Jiang Feng walked to the second floor and found that Peng Changping was also on the second floor, sitting at the table next to him, drinking tea like an ordinary elderly diner.
His table was a small table, with only four people in total, three old men and one young man. The young man was quite well-dressed for the summer, even wearing long sleeves and was not afraid of the heat. His back was to Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng couldn't see his face.
Jiang Feng was about to walk over and say hello to Peng Changping, but was stopped by Peng Changping's eyes.
Jiang Feng:?
Although he felt strange, he didn't say much, nodded to Peng Changping, and walked straight to his table.
"Brother, look at what else to order!" Jiang Junlian said excitedly.
Jiang Feng scanned some of the dishes ordered by the sisters, including roast duck, pan-fried lamb chops, white fungus braised vegetables, kimchi and sweet potato skin vermicelli, smooth egg beef and fried lion's head. There was indeed progress, and they all knew how to order vegetarian dishes.
There was nothing wrong with the dish. Jiang Feng added almond cake and roasted sea cucumber with green onions and asked the waiter to place his order.
Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian began to discuss the recently aired idol drama. Jiang Feng had no interest in TV dramas so he didn't listen. He took out his mobile phone to browse the news and overheard the conversation at the next table.
I really don’t blame him for eavesdropping. If I do, I blame the young man at the next table who was so excited that he accidentally raised the volume. He could definitely hear it if he was sitting next to him.
The young man was talking about Peng Changping.
Jiang Feng:?
What is this operation?
Jiang Feng couldn't help but look towards Peng Changping. Because of the angle, he still couldn't see the young man's face. The man happened to be sitting with his back to him, but the voice sounded familiar inexplicably, as if he had heard this man speak somewhere.
"Let me tell you, this Master Peng Changping is incredible. He was originally the chef of Yongheju. When he was still in China, he was the famous Master of Tan Family Cuisine. He is a direct descendant. He not only practices the true tradition but also introduces new ones. When he was still in Yongheju, the Yanchi Banquet in Yongheju was famous in Beiping City.”
"Yes, yes, I've heard of this Yan's Wing Banquet. It was famous back then. If anyone can eat a meal, it's this one. You can brag about it for a while!" An old gentleman agreed, raising his thumb.
Peng Changping listened with a smile and spoke slowly: "But according to what you said, Master Peng left Peking and went abroad fifty years ago. You were not born at that time, and your accent is not from Peking. You Where did you know that? ”
Jiang Feng:?
What is your hobby?
"I heard this from a master in my previous store."
"Are you a chef?" Peng Changping asked.
The young man nodded: "I have been working for many years. My first store was in Peking. I learned the basics from a master chef in that store. His father used to be a chef in Yongheju. Unfortunately, he was not talented enough. Being accepted as an apprentice by Master Peng means that an ordinary chef can only learn a little bit about it. He learned all his cooking skills from his father. I didn't even know about Master Peng at first. It was all told to me by that master." br>
"Master Peng is so amazing. He is number one in the list of famous chefs and is the number one that everyone is convinced of. In just a few years after going to the United States, he managed his own restaurant to become the best Chinese restaurant in the United States. It has always been awarded three Michelin stars. He has taught so many disciples and he is so kind..."
"How do you know that others are kind if you haven't seen him?" Peng Changping asked in his soul.
Young man:…
"You must be kind. I heard others say that Master Peng is very kind." The young man was a little anxious.
"Those people you are talking about may not have seen him." Peng Changping continued to argue.
Jiang Feng:...
I'm not telling you what your hobby is.
The young man simply stopped talking about it and changed the subject directly: "Master Peng returned to China some time ago and has been staying in Yongheju recently. I just thought about coming here to have two meals a day. Maybe I would meet him if I had the chance. I have been here before I have always wanted to see him. I just want to see if Master Peng is the same as the one in the legend.”
"I asked you why you drink tea with us old men every afternoon. It turns out that you are not interested in drinking." An old man smiled and said, "What is your name? Oh, yes, star chasing! I My granddaughter is also star-chasing. Last year she even went to the airport to pick her up, holding up a sign and shouting, but she came back and told me that she actually didn’t see anything.”
"Do you know what the Master Peng you are talking about looks like?" Peng Changping continued to ask questions persistently.
"I don't know."
The old man who said his granddaughter was chasing stars before laughed and said, "You are not as good as my granddaughter. At least my granddaughter knows what her idol looks like."
"Master Peng hasn't given an interview in many years. The photos that were leaked back then were so blurry that his face couldn't be seen clearly. He is a low-key man and has accepted exclusive interviews with Zhiwei over the years. I didn't even plan to come. I originally left Peiping and returned to my hometown, but I came to Peiping two days ago because I really didn’t want to miss this opportunity. My original ones..."
Jiang Feng felt something was very wrong when he heard this. Why did this man sound more and more like Zhou Shi?
I think so about the character and background, but Zhou Shi's temperament, which is not very talkative and has his own ideas, doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing.
Jiang Feng called out uncertainly: "Zhou Shi?"
Look back every week.
He was right.
He is a pervert who went from chasing stars in his hometown to Peking and squatting in other people's restaurants waiting for them to catch up.
"Jiang Feng!" Zhou Shi was shocked. He didn't expect to meet Jiang Feng here and under such circumstances. Thinking that Jiang Feng might have heard what he just said, he even wanted to jump off the second floor.
Jiang Feng: If you knew who the old gentleman opposite you was, you might want to jump to more than just the second floor.
"Why didn't you say anything to me when you came to Peiping? If you want to see Peng..." Jiang Feng glanced at Peng Changping subconsciously, and Peng Changping gave him a low-key smile. Jiang Feng understood instantly, "Master, I can help you introduce him. .”
"Listen, your friends can help you. Why make it so complicated and hang out with old guys like me every day." Peng Changping smiled and said, "Are you his friend? Or a colleague?"
Jiang Feng:...
You are really addicted to acting.
Jiang Feng could only cooperate with Peng Changping to continue acting, using his Jiang family's acting skills and masterful lies: "I am his former colleague."
"Oh, it turns out you are also a chef." Peng Changping said.
"It's great that all your friends can help you. Maybe you can meet the Master Peng that you miss so much today." said the old man next to Peng Changping.
"I'm not, I just..." Zhou Shi was a little embarrassed.
"Just what?" Peng Changping asked.
"I just wanted to meet Master Peng when neither of us was prepared. It was that kind of chance encounter... You know what a chance encounter is. I happened to meet him. I recognized him and said hello to him. I'm not a friend. "The kind of introduction." Zhou Shi himself couldn't figure out his logic, "I just want to meet you and say hello, just like I met you here a few days ago. It would be best." A few more words are enough.”
"Don't say anything else?"
"Don't say anything else."
Jiang Feng didn't expect that Zhou Shi, who was usually so assertive, would be so humble when chasing stars. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at Peng Changping, and Peng Changping just smiled at him. He didn't understand Peng Changping's smile. What do you mean? I can only bite the bullet and say: "That may be a bit unlucky. Master Peng is not in Peiping these days. He went to other provinces to see friends. It will probably take some time before he can come back."
A meal in Yongheju was not cheap, and Jiang Feng was afraid that if Zhou Shi had to eat for another week, his month's rent would be wiped out.
Zhou Shi was a little disappointed.
"Then I'll come back next week."
Jiang Feng:?
"How about I help you talk to Master Peng." Jiang Feng said.
"No, I just want to take a look and say something. I don't need to bother Master Peng specifically. If everyone who wants to see him has to ask someone to say something specifically, disturbing him too much will also delay his own affairs. It can't be like this." Zhou When refused.
Jiang Feng was speechless. It happened that he could go back to eat and exit the crew when the food was served, so he said: "That's it for now. If you have time, come back to the store and have a look. Everyone will definitely want to see you, so come. It’s really shameless of you to not tell us when we are in Peking.”
"I'm not embarrassed. I didn't come to Peking for anything serious. I came to Peking specifically for this kind of thing..." Zhou Shi was really embarrassed.
Jiang Feng expressed his understanding and went back to eat. After dinner, he planned to find an opportunity to ask Peng Changping what he really thought. By acting like his little fan, he would not be afraid of losing fans.
After this incident, Jiang Feng ate dinner absent-mindedly. From time to time, he would look back at the table next door to see Peng Changping's reaction.
Peng Changping was normal, eating and drinking when he should, and chatting without delay, as if he was not Peng Changping, the center of the topic, but an ordinary old man who came to Yongheju for tea and dinner.
After dinner, Jiang Feng excused himself as having something to discuss with Lu Sheng and asked Jiang Juanlian and the others to go back first while he stayed in Yongheju. When Zhou Shi left, Peng Changping finished chatting with a few old gentlemen and prepared to go out for a walk before following him.
"Master Peng, why are you pretending to be stupid today? Zhou Shi was the original stove cook of our Tai Feng House. I have always admired you. You told me when you were still in Tai Feng House that you would not do this to me. I know how to explain it to him when the time comes." Jiang Feng walked with Peng Changping.
"How is his cooking skill?" Peng Changping asked.
Jiang Feng didn't know why Peng Changping wanted to ask this, so he told the truth: "It's okay, not bad. Basically, his cooking skills were learned secretly when he was working as a busboy in other stores or as a chef. He learned it in a rough and wild way, but It’s really good. Now I have opened a small private restaurant in my hometown, and the business is pretty good.”
It is common for chefs to steal lessons, especially for chefs with a wild background who do not have a serious master. It would be a shame if they did not learn, but not a shame if they learned.
"Then his talent is pretty good."
Jiang Feng nodded in agreement. Considering Zhou Shi's condition and age, his current cooking skills can be considered to be quite talented.
"Why are you asking this?" Jiang Feng asked.
"I haven't had an apprentice for many years." Peng Changping said, "My little apprentice was all taken in forty years ago, and now he helps me manage the restaurant in the United States. Originally, I never thought about taking on an apprentice at this age. The closed disciple is because Xu Cheng said a few words at your midsummer banquet a few days ago that moved my heart. You and I are not qualified to be your master, so I thought about whether I should take advantage of this period to look for him in the country. Are there any suitable seeds? ”
Jiang Feng was stunned, dumbfounded, and stood still.
"At my age, it is not realistic to start teaching from scratch. I just want to recruit young people who come from the wild and have good foundation and are willing to become my disciples as my apprentices. This friend of yours came three days ago Yes, I noticed him on the first day I came here. Do you know why?" Peng Changping asked.
"His hands are very beautiful, slender, with strong wrists. There are scars on his arms from oil splashes, and the calluses on his hands are also very beautiful. They are a pair of beautiful chef's hands."
"Just for this?" Jiang Feng couldn't understand.
"Accepting an apprentice depends on fate. I like his hands, which means that I have this fate with him. I didn't think so at first. When I heard him talk about me in the afternoon, I was just surprised. In the evening, I was just joking. I didn’t let you say it because of my thoughts.”
"I really have no idea who the father of the chef he mentioned is. There were chefs of our lineage in Yonghe back then and there were other chefs as well. After being together for a long time, we naturally learned a lot of things. If what he said is right, His foundation is that of Tan’s cuisine, so it’s not much different, so he and I are really kind of destined. Especially after what you said just now, I really have some ideas,” Peng Changping said.
Jiang Feng couldn't move at all. He felt that his legs were a little weak. It took him a long time to recover from the shock that Zhou Shi might really be lucky.
"Then you are now..."
Peng Changping waved his hand: "It's not so hasty. Even if accepting a disciple depends on fate, you can't be so hasty. You still have to go through the process."
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you invite him to Tai Feng House in two days? Find an opportunity to let him cook a specialty dish, and then call me over. I just don't know if I want to take him in and he will be willing to accept me as his teacher. I really can’t teach you anything at my age,” Peng Changping said with a smile, “Walking with me again?”
"Let's go."
"Ah no, he will definitely be willing, definitely willing." Jiang Feng said in a daze, and continued walking with Peng Changping.
At the end of the discussion, Jiang Feng had only one idea.
Zhou Shi must have been eating beef stew with carrots. He was so lucky.
The chosen one. (End of chapter)
