Chapter 738 Crazy (Short 2-in-1 4600+)
Regarding Peng Changping's intention to accept Zhou Shi as a closed disciple, Jiang Feng actually didn't have much feeling other than being shocked.
His friendship with Zhou Shi was not very deep, but it was not shallow either. They were just ordinary friends. From a friend's perspective, he would certainly be happy if Zhou Shi could really have the opportunity to become Peng Changping's disciple. Although Peng Changping is old and lacks energy, it is impossible for him to teach step by step like a normal master teaches his disciples. He cannot even demonstrate in person from time to time. At most, he teaches orally. But with his cooking skills and status in today's culinary world, being able to become his teacher is definitely the dream of countless young and even middle-aged chefs.
It was the choice of the assessment location in Taifeng Building that made Jiang Feng feel a bit difficult.
How could he calmly lure Zhou Shi to Tai Feng Tower, then calmly ask him to cook a high-level specialty dish, and then calmly bring this dish to Peng Changping to taste? This is a very serious question. question.
After all, Jiang Feng doesn't even know where Zhou Shi lives now.
Jiang Feng thought about it for a long time after returning home. He didn't know how to tell Zhou Shi about coming to Taifeng Tower until Wu Minqi came back. In the end, Jiang Feng couldn't hold it back anymore and told Wu Minqi everything about what happened tonight, hoping to seek her opinion.
"This is a good thing. Master Peng intends to take Zhou Shi as his apprentice, and Zhou Shi happens to have this opportunity. Let's just do what Master Peng said." Wu Minqi is not very familiar with Zhou Shi, but she also feels for Zhou Shi. I feel happy to have this opportunity.
"But...how should we let him come to the store and let him cook?" Jiang Feng was actually struggling with this.
Wu Minqi didn't understand why Jiang Feng was troubled by this at all: "When he came, he told him that the business in the store was very good today and everyone was busy, so just ask him to help. Just like before, he didn't return the information he had given before. In the system background, put his recipes directly on the shelves. ”
Jiang Feng:?
This is not good. You are saying that you come to the store to catch up with old friends, but in fact, you are asking someone to come and work in the store.
Well, it makes sense when you think about it.
One of the special features of their Tai Fung Restaurant is that guests come from far away, so why not cook two dishes before leaving?
"It seems okay." Jiang Feng thought thoughtfully.
Wu Minqi was more concerned about another thing than Zhou Shi: "Fengfeng, I remember that you went to Yongheju to learn your Jiang's ginseng soup from Master Peng. Have you finished learning your dish now?" br>
"Not yet. I only learned how to make soup stock. I haven't started to learn how to handle sea cucumbers yet."
"If Master Peng really takes a fancy to Zhou Shi, then he will definitely have to work hard to teach Zhou Shi. Your dishes may be... I think you should seize the time recently. Anyway, the business in the store has been busy recently. "Now that you're up, Master Sun is here again. I think you can continue to learn cooking from Master Peng as before, without worrying too much about the business in the store."
Wu Minqi reminded Jiang Feng that so many things had happened during this period that he had forgotten the most important one. Peng Changping returned to China this time for the selection of the Celebrity Chefs List. The rankings of the Celebrity Chefs List are usually announced at the end of October. Although Xu Chengxu has participated in many issues of "Zhiwei" and other things over the years, the Celebrity Chefs List is so important. Big things will never go unnoticed.
Peng Changping may stay in China for a long time, but there will always be a day when he can go back. After all, there will always be a day when his visa expires.
If Jiang Feng didn't want to go all the way to the other side of the ocean to learn a dish, he could only seize the time and try to learn Jiang's Ginseng Soup before the end of October.
It's already August, and Jiang Feng only has two months to spare.
Not quite enough.
You must know that Jiang Feng has been studying optical tricks for more than two months, but it cannot be calculated like this. When Jiang Feng learned how to make soup stock, he had not yet reached the master level in terms of seasoning and cooking. Now that he is different from what he used to be, and he has a certain foundation in sea cucumber cooking, it will not take him too long to learn Jiang's ginseng soup.
Wu Minqi's words made Jiang Feng a little difficult to make a decision. Should he seize the time to strike while the iron is hot and brush his knife skills to the master level? Or should he temporarily put aside his knife skills and the booming business of Tai Feng House and go to Yongheju to learn Jiang's ginseng soup in a short time from Peng Changping? over.
To be honest, he was a little worried about Chef Arnold.
After all, this old man has a bad temper and does not play by common sense. He also has money and willfulness. No one knows what he will do when he is happy or unhappy. After the Midsummer Banquet was successfully held and Jiang Feng ranked first in the hot search, everyone has been paying close attention to the dynamics of the top-floor restaurant. As a result, there was no action in the top-floor restaurant.
It's been a few days, but there has been no action at all in the top-floor restaurant. Chef Arnold stopped working for several days and disappeared, allowing the customer flow to drop, and it kept dropping.
It has almost dropped to the same level as Babaozhai.
Speaking of which, Babao Zhai's business seems to be a little better these two days. Jiang Feng even grabbed a red envelope worth 12 yuan and 80 cents in the group yesterday.
"Let's wait until Zhou Shi's matter is finished. Then I'll find an opportunity to ask Master Peng when he will return to the United States, and then we'll see." Jiang Feng had not made up his mind.
Wu Minqi nodded. She originally just wanted to remind her: "Just remember this."
"By the way, how is the business in the store today?" Jiang Feng thought it would be more practical to pay attention to the business of Tai Feng Building. After all, the money has not been paid off yet.
"It's good, but today you have a day off, and many customers don't know it. Ji Yue said that the students at the Academy of Fine Arts kept sighing during lunch, and they looked more uncomfortable than eating pure meat wontons." Wu Minqi smiled, suddenly remembering What? He took out his phone, found a picture in the photo album, and handed the phone to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng took the phone and found it was a painting.
A very monotonous painting with only two people on it.
One is a woman who looks very haggard, her hair is messy, her clothes are old and thin, she looks very thin, and her eyes seem to contain a bit of madness.
The other was a little girl, also sallow and thin. She looked malnourished and had a bit of timidity in her eyes.
The woman is very tall and the little girl is very short. The woman in the painting is standing like that, and the little girl is looking up at the woman in the corner.
It looks a little depressing, but it is very real, as if it is not a painting but a realistic photo. The two people in the painting are real people, and there is an inexplicable artistic conception.
The most important thing is that Jiang Feng felt that the little girl in the painting looked familiar. He seemed to have seen her somewhere.
"This is painted by Xue Shaoheng." Wu Minqi said.
"Drawed by Xue Shaoheng?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, Xue Hua seemed to have said that Xue Shaoheng never painted figures.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the siblings for a long time.
"I feel like they haven't eaten in the store for a long time," Jiang Feng said.
"I haven't been here since the annual vacation. Xue Hua was alone at noon today. I originally came to see you but you weren't there, so you told us." Wu Minqi said, with joy in her eyes. Good thing, "Xue Shaoheng's painting won an award."
Wu Minqi mentioned a name that Jiang Feng had never heard of, but it could be judged from Wu Minqi's tone that it should be a very great award.
"Xue Hua said that the people in this painting were her and her mother, and Xue Shaoheng named him mother and sister. Xue Shaoheng started painting this painting in December, and it took more than half a year to complete it at the end of June. They have been abroad for two months, and they just got off the plane early this morning," Wu Minqi said, "Xue Shaoheng can speak complete words now. Do you know what he said in the media interview yesterday?"
< br>
"What?" Jiang Feng finally realized that this matter was not that simple.
"Yesterday a reporter asked him if the inspiration for this painting came from his mother and his sister."
Jiang Feng felt that what the reporter asked was nonsense. This painting depicts mother and sister, and the names are called mother and sister. Could it be that the inspiration came from sister and mother.
"He said no."
"Huh?"
"He said the inspiration came from your pure meat wontons."
Jiang Feng:...
He actually didn't know what to say.
If students from the Academy of Fine Arts could see this interview, they would probably go crazy.
I just don’t know if they can see it.
What Jiang Feng didn't know was that the students at the Academy of Fine Arts had gone crazy.
The award that Xue Shaoheng won was actually more impressive than Jiang Feng imagined.
To what extent is Xue Shaoheng so awesome? From now on when he was walking outside, any painter who saw him would call him "Master Xue".
When Ji Gege dreamed of being an artist, he never dreamed that he would win this award.
There are already buyers who have offered millions or even tens of millions to buy this painting by Xue Shaoheng. Of course, this price is exaggerated. After all, everyone knows about hype, but Xue Shaoheng insists on not selling it.
Although he can now speak complete words, it is still difficult to truly express the complex emotions in his heart. The reason why he didn't sell this painting was simple. It was the only evidence that he had ever seen this normal world.
Xue Shaoheng is unable to fully express his thoughts, and sometimes his thoughts are misinterpreted by others and the media. Therefore, it is actually very difficult to understand his interviews.
He said he was inspired by an interview with Pure Meat Wonton, which is probably the only interview that everyone can understand what it means.
Xue Shaoheng was speaking in Chinese, and he only talked about pure meat wontons, not Tai Feng Lou or Jiang Feng. It was already quite difficult for him to say the four words "pure meat wontons". The interview was released last night. Due to the time difference, the interview video was not reported and reprinted by domestic media until this afternoon.
Foreign media reporters are still confused about what pure meat wontons are. Of course they know what wontons are, but they don’t think that such a complete word from Xue Shaoheng’s mouth will be as simple as they imagined. ravioli.
Could it be a magical food from the East?
Just when the foreign media reporters were still having a headache about how to write this damn interview that was so exciting at first glance, and the interviewers from other parts of the country who saw this article didn’t understand what kind of wontons this pure meat wontons were, the Academy of Fine Arts The students have gone crazy.
They cook the pure meat wontons!
Can you not be familiar with it? This dish that makes people both love and hate has driven many students crazy after eating it.
Combined with Xue Shaoheng's life experience, the pure meat wontons he mentioned must be the pure meat wontons they thought of!
Back then, eating "Destruction" from a bowl of pure meat wontons was enough to make countless students from the Academy of Fine Arts fearless of death and fight one after another, let alone eating Xue Shaoheng now.
Isn’t it just crying? Isn’t it just grief-stricken?
After so many years, those artists can’t do anything for art, so what does eating a bowl of wontons mean?
On the second day, Ji Yue was surprised to find that there were many new faces in the store.
There are many more faces that look like students from the Academy of Fine Arts.
There were also some strange people with similar temperaments, but they did not look like students in age, so she had to suspect that they might be professors from the Academy of Fine Arts.
She even seemed to have seen a painter who had become famous in recent years, but Ji Yue was not sure. She suspected that she had seen it wrong.
These people occupied all the seats in the lobby. Six people were crammed into a 4-person table, and eight people were crammed into a 6-person table. There were so many people that they didn't occupy a table, but it looked really strange.
He kept mumbling, switching the tablet in his hands from one person to another. Everyone who took the tablet seemed to have been given a difficult task. Their faces were solemn, their eyes were wandering and firm, and their hands holding the tablet were holding on tightly, wishing they could squeeze out a few holes in the tablet.
The most important thing is that these people holding tablets seem to have Parkinson's disease. Not only are their hands and legs shaking, but their whole body is shaking. This also caused the person holding the tablet to constantly change. The tablet began to shake as soon as it was in his hand. As soon as the tablet was taken away from the person, it returned to normal, and even breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Yue:?
"Qi Rou." Ji Yue decided to send the most friendly and good at inquiring information waiter in their lobby to find out what was going on with this group of guests.
It's like taking the wrong medicine. Don't let anything happen and cause trouble.
"Go over there and see what's going on with those people from the Academy of Fine Arts. I feel like they are not normal today." Ji Yue whispered.
Qi Rou nodded and walked towards one of the Academy of Fine Arts students whom she recognized and had spoken a few words to.
Then Qi Rou asked directly.
Ji Yue:?
The most important thing is that the student from the Academy of Fine Arts actually answered. Not only did he answer, he also took out his phone and showed Qi Rou the video.
Qi Rou went back excitedly to tell Ji Yue what happened.
Ji Yue knew that Xue Hua came to see Jiang Feng yesterday, and she led him there to find Wu Minqi. Later Wu Minqi also told her that Xue Hua came here to report the good news that Xue Shaoheng won an award abroad because of Jiang Feng's pure meat wontons. But Wu Minqi didn't say what the award was specifically at that time, maybe because she didn't remember that the name was a bit convoluted, and Ji Yue didn't care. There are so many young artists going abroad to win awards these days, and even when they return home, they can be named a genius. His name was basically blown away by the media.
Not to mention that although Xue Shaoheng feels very young and still a child, he is actually quite a lot older.
Ji Yue didn't expect that what he said was so awesome.
Ji Yue was dumbfounded after hearing the information Qi Rou reported to her.
She knew why these art school students and even professors seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.
Without saying a word, Ji Yue went straight to the food delivery window and asked the busboy closest to him to call Jiang Feng out.
Jiang Feng, who has already wrapped the wontons and is cooking the wontons:?
"I think your wontons can be sold in another way." Ji Yue got straight to the point.
Jiang Feng:?
How else can I sell my 10 yuan bowl of wontons?
Ji Yue pointed at the guests in the lobby, especially those with 6 people on a table of 4 people and 8 people on a table of 6 people.
"Did you see it?"
"I saw it, what's wrong?" Jiang Feng just felt that there seemed to be a lot of guests today, and it seemed that there would be more in the past. Have there been more tables?
"They're all here to eat your wontons."
Jiang Feng:!
"Did you see that?" Ji Yue pointed at the painter she had recognized before but was not sure about, but now she was sure about it.
"Saw it."
"He sells six figures for a painting, and he's here to eat your wontons."
Jiang Feng:! ! !
"Do you understand?" Ji Yue asked.
"Understood!" Jiang Feng understood immediately. There was nothing else he didn't understand.
He will go back and contact Sun Maocai now, and then ask Ji Yue to contact Wang Xiulian. It is best to quickly discuss how to sell the wontons in these twenty minutes.
Lunchtime business will start in 20 minutes.
"Wait, there is one more thing." Ji Yue pulled Jiang Feng with a solemn expression.
Seeing Ji Yue's expression become so serious, Jiang Feng thought there were other more pressing matters, and suddenly became nervous: "What else is there?"
"Can you sell one less bowl of wontons today and leave one bowl for me as an employee benefit?" Ji Yue looked at Jiang Feng pitifully, like a poor child who hadn't eaten pure meat wontons in a year. Jiang Feng:? ? ?
