Chapter 756 Sino-US Kitchen King Competition
The moment Chef Arnold exclaimed, everyone's first reaction was: It's coming, it's finally coming.
Chef Arnold is finally taking action.
Chef Arnold didn't care about everyone's eyes at all. He turned to look at Peng Changping with a look of disbelief on his face and asked in English: "Is he your apprentice?"
"Of course." Peng Changping nodded, "Any questions?"
"Is he the apprentice you talked about on the phone yesterday?"
Peng Changping nodded affirmatively.
"Who is he?" Chef Arnold looked like his faith had collapsed, like an ignorant girl who had been deceived by a scumbag, and pointed his hand at Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi:……
Although his educational level is not high and his English is not good and he has never passed CET-4, he can still understand the melody of "Whoishe?"
"I'm Zhou Shi." Zhou Shi said.
Arnold glared at Zhou Shi. He didn't care who Zhou Shi was. He was now an irritable girl who had been deceived by a scumbag for several years. He just wanted to get an explanation from the scumbag who deceived him.
"What about Jiang Feng? Isn't Jiang Feng your apprentice?" Arnold asked loudly.
His question confused Peng Changping. Peng Changping said: "Of course not. When did I say that Jiang Feng was my apprentice."
"I've heard of him before..."
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Lu Sheng hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Oh, it's almost nine o'clock now. Master Arnold and Master Peng obviously have business to discuss. Well, Master Arnold and Master Peng will go to my office to talk, Let’s drink tea and chat here. If you have anything to do, you can leave first.”
Everyone:...
Although Arnold and Peng Changping just spoke in English, they were all simple conversations that primary school students could understand. Among all the people here, except Ji Xia, even Han Youxin could understand them.
Those who are working are all good people, who know the elegant meaning after hearing the music. As soon as Lu Sheng finished speaking, the Han Guishan family said that it was too late at this time. Han Youxin had not finished his homework and had to go home to do it. Although Lu Sheng's parents and wife did not understand the situation, they thought that the children had not finished their homework and had to prepare to leave with their children.
Wu Minqi looked at Jiang Feng, then at Ji Xia, and finally at Chef Arnold, and made a decision in her heart.
"Xia Xia, you haven't finished your homework yet, right?" Wu Minqi asked with a smile.
Ji Xia:? ? ?
Homework, what homework?
Looking at Ji Xia's confused eyes, Sun Mao knew it was time to show off his acting skills.
"Yeah, it's getting late, right? Xia Xia has to go to school tomorrow, right? I'll drive you back. Jiang Feng, do you want to leave now or sit down for a while before leaving."
Ji Xia:? ? ?
"Huh?" Jiang Feng actually wanted to escape now, but the look Chef Arnold looked at him told him that he probably couldn't escape now.
The most important thing is that he also wants to know what today's matter has to do with him!
Obviously he just came to eat, but he spent all his personal money on this meal, but as he ate, he became the protagonist.
Before Jiang Feng could make a decision, Chef Arnold made the decision for Jiang Feng: "He can't leave. I have something to ask him for."
Sun Maocai smiled at Jiang Feng and led Wu Minqi and Ji Xia away ruthlessly.
Soon, the people in the box were almost gone.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xu Cheng felt that it was not right for him to stay and eat melon. He was about to get up and leave when he was left behind by Chef Arnold.
"Mr. Xu, please wait for a while before leaving. I have something to ask you for help." Chef Arnold said.
Now, there’s no need to go to Lu Sheng’s office to talk. Jiang Feng, Arnold, Zhou Shi, Peng Changping, Xu Cheng and the confused Tao Shu were all present...
Wait, why is Tao Shu still here?
Zhou Shi also realized that Tao Shu was not suitable to stay, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't you still want to go shopping? It's getting late, why don't you go shopping first?"
As if suddenly awakened, Tao Shu said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I have to go shopping. I'm going to go shopping first. No, I'm leaving first. I'm leaving first. Everyone, please chat slowly. Chat slowly."< br>
Tao Shu stood up, hunched over as if he wanted to be a thief, grabbed his cell phone and was about to escape, but was stopped by Chef Arnold.
"Wait a minute, I remember your name was Shu... what kind of book." Chef Arnold looked at Tao Shu.
Tao Shu secretly cried out that something was wrong. Unexpectedly, Chef Arnold not only remembered him but also remembered his name. He felt that his life was not long and he was afraid that he would be fired today.
"You go back to the restaurant now."
Tao Shu had lowered his head in despair.
"Tell them I will go back to work tomorrow and ask them to add it to my menu. The chef's set menu will be sold normally."
"Ah?" Tao Shu thought Chef Arnold was telling him to go back to the restaurant to pack his things and get out of here.
"Is there any problem?" Chef Arnold spoke very clearly.
"No, no, I'm going back now, I'm going now." Tao Shu ran away as if running for his life, not only closing the door.
Peng Changping picked up the teacup, took a sip of the apprenticeship tea brought by Zhou Shi, put the lid on the cup, and looked at Chef Arnold.
"Tell me, I thought on the phone yesterday that you had something to tell me today."
Chef Arnold took a deep breath and looked back and forth between Peng Changping, Zhou Shi, and Jiang Feng. It was obvious that they had not yet come out of the shadow of being deceived. Their expressions were a little complicated, but they still spoke.
Still in Chinese.
"I'm here to invite you to participate in a competition." Chef Arnold looked unhappy.
Jiang Feng suddenly realized that we were invited to participate...
?
Join a competition?
Jiang Feng thought he had heard wrong. Chef Arnold had just acted like he had deceived his feelings and defrauded him of fifty million, just to invite him to the competition.
"What game?" Lu Sheng looked at Jiang Feng subconsciously and asked first.
Chef Arnold still looked unhappy. Not only was he unhappy, he even didn't want to talk. Everyone could tell that his mood at this time must be very complicated. In fact, everyone's mood was very complicated. Even Peng Changping, who is well-informed and has seen big storms, is a little confused about what Chef Arnold wants to do.
This feeling is like a powerful opponent who is aggressive and has bad intentions. He has deliberately dismissed everyone to talk to you alone. You are ready to fight with the opponent if you disagree, but he says to you He just wants to treat you to afternoon tea.
Although he felt very unhappy, Chef Arnold still explained in English mixed with Chinese, which made Jiang Feng a little exhausted, but he finally understood.
This incident started when Chef Arnold suddenly ran away after the midsummer banquet.
Chef Arnold left suddenly, and even the people in the top-floor restaurant were not prepared, let alone outsiders. They didn’t know the reason, and the timing was too coincidental, so they jokingly said that Chef Arnold ran away.
In fact, Arnold had business to attend to.
As we all know, Chef Arnold became famous all over the United States through a cooking reality show many years ago. In that reality show, Chef Arnold relied on his superb cooking skills and bad temper to assemble a book. His curse words and his absolutely unflattering true temperament shine through, making him one of the most beloved chefs in the United States. Even after many years, some viewers still said that watching Chef Arnold curse people in that reality show was the happiest thing for him.
But what everyone doesn't know is that the reality show has been in decline over the years.
After the success of the first season, the program team also thought of many ways to attract the audience's attention, including fierce competition systems, exciting battles, and even found many handsome boys and beautiful women to be apprentice chefs, but no matter how hard the program team worked, Innovation, no matter how popular it is, the ratings of this cooking reality show, which can be called the originator of reality shows, are still getting lower year by year, and it is even on the verge of being cancelled.
The program team had no choice but to go all out and ask Chef Arnold to come out to save this endangered reality show.
Of course Chef Arnold didn't want to participate. Admittedly, he was very happy when he was recording the show. Having money and being scolded by others was simply his dream life. But he has more important things now than making money and swearing, so when the program team called to invite him for the first time, he refused directly.
But the program team will definitely not give up after being rejected once. The ratings of their show last season have dropped to a very scary number. If the program team had not proposed this time that they would invite Chef Arnold to re-join the show, they would not even have the basics. None of the funds will come.
Suffice it to say, Chef Arnold = funding.
How could the program team give up easily available funds so easily?
So the program team spent another half a month researching and investigating, and came up with a brand new variety show model.
If you want to play, play big.
They are going to have a competition between China and the United States for the King of Chefs.
The name is very vulgar, it's a literal translation, but that's roughly the format.
Initially, this program was a competitive show, inviting some well-known young chefs to participate, setting an attractive grand prize, and paired with an awesome viper mentor. After several months of devilish study and layers of competition, the winner was decided. The final winner has a hint of cultivation.
According to the original plot, the focus of this reality show should be on those young colleges. However, because Chef Arnold was hired as an awesome mentor who does not follow the usual path and does not follow the script, the first season of this reality show The protagonist became Chef Arnold, and the young chefs who were supposed to be one of the protagonists all became supporting characters or even backgrounds.
Later, after constant adjustments, the style of this reality show also continued to change. The young chefs turned into handsome amateurs, the mentors changed from one to several, the competition type became a cultivation type, and the gameplay became more diversification. As the audience's tastes changed, the program changed from a development type to a competitive type. However, perhaps because it failed to capture the audience's interest, the ratings continued to be sluggish. Even though the program team thought of many ways, such as inviting celebrities to dine, inviting well-known food critics, or creating a second Arnold, none of them worked, and even aroused a lot of criticism.
It is precisely for this reason that the program team tried every possible means to invite Chef Arnold back, and even went so far as to compete directly in the international competition at the cost of a big ticket.
If you win, you will return to the top. If you lose, you will be cut off. No matter how you think about it, the final result will only be better, not worse. As long as they can invite Arnold back, they will have money to play this big game, and they will lose money. If you can't get over them, why not do it?
Chef Arnold suddenly returned to China this time to discuss the details of the Sino-US Chef King Competition with the program team.
In order to cooperate with Chef Arnold, the location of this final is not only set in China, but the registration method is also based on restaurant registration. Only four chefs can participate in each restaurant. The specific competition format is still under discussion, but the general direction is this.
Chef Arnold will agree to Peng Changping's invitation this time and come to Peng Changping's apprenticeship banquet as soon as he returns to China. Apart from making an mistake and thinking that Peng Changping wants to accept Jiang Feng as a closed disciple, the main reason is to invite Peng Changping to participate in the competition.
Yes, the person he wanted to invite was neither Jiang Feng nor anyone else, but Peng Changping.
He wanted to have a showdown with Peng Changping. (End of chapter)
