Chapter 740 The show begins
Although there were no lines, no designated action scenes, and no rehearsals, he could still express himself freely. The most important thing was that he might also be able to witness the process of Peng Changping accepting his disciples. After thinking about it, Sun Maocai thought that he still made a profit.
When I went to the teahouse, I mentioned this matter to Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo.
Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo didn't feel much about this. They had a good impression of Zhou Shi and thought he was a fairly solid employee. As for whether they like to steal or not, they don't care at all. After all, most of the dishes in Tai Feng House can be learned as long as you want to, and there is no need to steal at all.
Zhou Shi arrived earlier than Jiang Feng expected.
Previously, Zhou Shi sent a WeChat message to Jiang Feng saying that she would arrive before the evening business started. Jiang Feng thought he was stuck and arrived around 4:30. As a result, Zhou Shi came quite early, at 4 o'clock. When he came, Jiang Feng was still cutting Wanfu pork in the kitchen, trying to make the most delicious Wanfu pork with the least amount of meat.
Zhou Shi was led into the kitchen by Ji Yue.
At noon, Jiang Feng was only thinking about Zhou Shi's assessment and wontons, and forgot to tell everyone the news that Zhou Shi was coming, so he was a little surprised to see Zhou Shi Jiyue.
If you really want to talk about it, Zhou Shi has little friendship with many employees at Tai Feng Building. He probably doesn't know most of the employees in the lobby, and he doesn't have many close friends with the employees in the kitchen. Apart from Jiang Feng, he was probably the most familiar with Sang Ming, not for any other reason, but mainly because Sang Ming talked a lot. He could talk to anyone he caught and was familiar with everyone.
"Zhou Shi, I'll let your friend sit outside for now. Do you want to give him a drink?" Ji Yue asked.
"No need to go to such trouble. We are here for dinner anyway, so just treat him as an early guest." Zhou Shi said.
"Your friend is quite free. Today is a working day, right? Or he actually asked for leave to accompany you for dinner. We have a pretty good relationship. Why didn't I hear you mention it before?" Zhou Shi came earlier than Jiang Feng expected. , the actors have not yet arrived, Sun Maocai is still drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse, and Peng Changping is probably also drinking tea and chatting with a bunch of old men in Yongheju at this time.
Jiang Feng didn't know what to say for a moment, so he started with Zhou Shi's friends.
"He's also a chef. He has a day off today, so he comes with me for a walk when he has free time." Zhou Shi explained. He looked at the kitchen and found that besides Jiang Feng, there was Sun Jikai who was squatting in the corner and practicing hard on deboning pigeons.
Zhou Shi did not leave the work group in Tai Feng Building and learned about Sun Jikai's return. He also read the social news and knew that some bad things happened to Sun Jikai's family, but he didn't know that Sun Jikai was actually still a rich second generation, even richer than before.
"Long time no see." Zhou Shi took the initiative to say hello.
He is not a warm-hearted and outgoing person, but since he returned home to start a business and open a store during this period, he will inevitably need to deal with other people. Although he still doesn't talk much, he feels that he is much easier to get along with than before.
"Long time no see." Sun Jikai nodded to Zhou Shi and continued to deal with the pigeons.
He has been keeping a low profile these days. Ever since he recognized the huge gap between himself and Jiang Feng, Sun Jikai has become particularly low-key and silent. Although people are normal, their sense of presence is much weaker. Every day they just go to work and get off work overtime and get off work as usual. They don't practice any extra dishes. They just practice hard to remove the bones of pigeons over and over again. At most, Jiang Feng thickens the eight treasure chestnut pigeons. At that time, Qiu Fu and I were watching from the sidelines.
This also resulted in too many pigeons being deboned at Tai Feng House, making it impossible to finish the eight-treasure chestnut pigeon alone. But Wang Xiulian doesn’t have any objections. After all, deboned squab can not only be used to make eight-treasure chestnut pigeon, but can also be made into other dishes, such as braised squab, braised squab, steamed pigeon, sauced pigeon, and grilled pigeon. Both pigeon and roasted squab are acceptable. It has no bones and is convenient for guests to eat.
Sun Jikai's silence and low-key is because he has serious things to do. He wants to improve his cooking skills, understand his true level, start from scratch with knife skills and lay the foundation again, and want to focus on being what his grandfather once wanted most. What he does is a pure cook.
Of course, Sun Jikai's silence and seriousness, in the eyes of others, turned into a personality change and isolation after suffering a huge blow.
Many people couldn't help but look at Sun Jikai with a hint of sympathy.
Zhou Shi looked at Sun Jikai without sympathy, mainly because he recognized the brand of the clothes Sun Jikai was wearing.
He is too poor to sympathize with rich people.
Zhou Shi chatted awkwardly with Sun Jikai for a few words. Feeling a little embarrassed, he shut up and went to chat with Jiang Feng.
"I met you yesterday and didn't have a chance to talk. How have you been lately?" Jiang Feng decided to talk about daily life first, and then went deeper into the topic and brought up Sun Maocai.
"It's okay. The new store has just opened, so it's always busy. Our place is small, and the economy is not very developed. There are no private restaurants at all. The price I sell is not expensive, and the business is pretty good. Every month Excluding rent, water, electricity and labor, it is still somewhat profitable, and it is estimated that we will be able to make a profit this year," Zhou Shi said with a smile.
"It's the most tiring thing to open a small private restaurant like this. When my father opened a small stir-fry restaurant in City A, he would leave early and come back late. Sometimes, in order to grab good ingredients, my mother would stay up all night and go to the slaughterhouse in the neighboring city. Accept. Our store is quite small, only a few dozen square meters, and there is not enough space for a few tables.”
"Then the business of your original store must be quite good. If my store could be so busy, I would wake up laughing at night." Zhou Shi said with a smile.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, don't worry, as long as you perform properly next time, you will soon be able to wake up with a smile from anything you do, not only from dreaming but also from sleepwalking.
"By the way, there is something I want to tell you." Jiang Feng felt that the groundwork was almost complete, and it was time to get down to the topic, "I happened to be with Sun during lunch today..."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Before Jiang Feng could finish speaking, Sun Maocai, one of the important actors in this scene, made his debut.
"Master Sun, he is the Zhou Shi I told you about at noon." Jiang Feng said loudly. It seemed that he was acting, but in fact he was introducing the protagonist to the actor so that he could familiarize himself with the script.
Sun Maocai was stunned and quickly fell into the drama.
"So you are Zhou Shi. I have heard Jiang Feng talk about you a long time ago. I have always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that we would meet here." Sun Maocai said with a smile.
Zhou Shi:? ? ?
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Isn't that how the script was written? Don't actors tell the screenwriter and director these days when they change the script?
"Who is he?" Zhou Shi had probably guessed who Master Sun was standing with the two old men Jiang, but he couldn't believe it.
Sun Maocai had heard of him a long time ago and always wanted to meet him. What kind of magic script is this?
Zhou Shi felt that Sun Maocai might have remembered the wrong person.
"He is Master Sun Maocai." Although Sun Maocai temporarily changed the script, Jiang Feng's play had to go on.
"Hello." Zhou Shi was a little confused and a little cautious.
"When Jiang Feng and I were discussing his menu, I asked him who was responsible for helping him handle the Babao chestnut pigeons before. He told me that you were responsible for handling the pigeons. At that time, I was there I think your basic knife skills should be quite good, it would be a pity to leave like this." Sun Maocai not only changed the script, but also expanded it.
"Jiang Feng told me during lunch today that you came to Peiping. He told me before that you have a very special sea cucumber dish. I also asked Jiang Feng to make it for me to try, but I always felt that something was missing. I have always wanted to try it. How about the original version? I've been studying sea cucumber dishes recently, and I wonder if you could do me a little favor and make one specially for me." Looking at Sun Maocai's expression, those who didn't know thought he was telling the truth.
"Ah, of course... I just don't know the ingredients, things..." Zhou Shi was a little confused.
"I have everything. It's in the cabinet and I'll get it for you." Jiang Feng had prepared these things in the morning.
Zhou Shi:?
Why does he feel like something is not right? (End of chapter)
