Chapter 765 Fat Tiger


Chapter 765 Fat Tiger

The changes brought by the three masters to Jiang Feng were huge.

The most intuitive thing is that the buff dishes he cooks are basically S-level, except for the pure meat wontons.

When it comes to pure meat wontons, Jiang Feng is a little confused now. The pure meat wontons made when his cooking skills are all advanced are F-level, and the pure meat wontons made when his cooking skills are all master level are also Class F. It is true that the characteristic of the pure meat wonton dish is that it is unpalatable. Unpalatable is its characteristic. If it were not unpalatable, the guests would think that the chef did not use his heart when making the wontons today.

But Jiang Feng really wanted to know if this dish could be made to a grade other than F grade.

To this end, he made a special attempt to make pure meat ravioli without intentionally making it unpalatable. He strictly followed the instructions and tried to make pure meat ravioli like normal ravioli, but the rating was still F.

Maybe this is the charm of pure meat wontons. Pure meat wontons that are not F-level are not good wontons.

In the following days, Jiang Fengtong was the same as in the past few months. He reported to Yongheju every day and continued to learn Jiang's ginseng soup method from Peng Changping. Wu Minqi also packed her things and went back to Wu's restaurant to practice cooking as she had promised before. She lost contact during the day and communicated at night.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi communicate on video calls every night to summarize what they have learned today, how much they have learned, and how they will prepare for tomorrow, just like college students in a long-distance relationship preparing for the finals.

Learning Jiang's Ginseng Soup went very smoothly.

In less than a month, Jiang Feng was able to do something impressive.

Of course, it's just a formality.

Jiang's ginseng soup is an extremely torturous top dish that combines high difficulty, long time and great effort. Most of the famous dishes with a slightly older history have this problem. Jiang Feng feels that the reason why these dishes are so difficult to make is not because they really need to be so difficult to make, but because the dignitaries who ate food in the past wanted the dishes they eat. So hard to do.

It's not difficult to make, it takes a little time and effort, and the ingredients used are more expensive. How can we highlight their taste and make them feel that the money is worth it?

It was a bit torturous to cook only one dish in a month, so Jiang Feng not only ate Jiang's ginseng soup, but also shamelessly learned another dish, which was the phoenix egg he had seen in Jiang Chengde's memory.

If there was any difference in learning during this period, it would be that there was one more person studying cooking with Jiang Feng, namely Peng Changping's true disciple Zhou Shi.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Shixin raised a cat.

He ordered this cat from the cattery during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Zhou Shi thought that the rest of his life would be to open and close stores, raise cats, fall in love, get married, and have children, and live an ordinary life, so he ordered this cat. A cat. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, and my career ushered in a second spring. When I turned 30, I started working hard again.

People are starting to work hard, and cats are also starting to work hard.

Since Zhou Shi leaves early and comes back late every day, except for sleeping, he spends most of his time in Yonghe Juli. As a result, the cat owner is alone at home and there are no tigers in the mountains, and the kitten is called the king. Every day when I drag my tired body back home to greet Zhou Xi, it is not a warm and tidy home, but a display of the results of the day by the desktop cleaning master.

Zhou Shi doesn't know how to raise or train a cat, and he doesn't have time to train a cat. One time Zhou Shi casually complained to Jiang Feng during lunch that he was not suitable for raising cats at all. People like him who had neither time, money nor good skills were not suitable for raising cats that required time or money. Money pets.

Then Peng Changping heard this.

Jiang Feng also discovered Peng Changping's second hobby after acting.

Keep a cat.

Peng Changping has raised seven cats in total.

After Peng Changping retired, he had both money and leisure. He noticed that the old men around him all kept dogs, and he passed the time by walking them every day. But he didn’t like walking dogs very much. After all, he was not good at raising dogs, so he started raising cats.

Peng Changping's idea at the beginning was very simple. The life span of cats and dogs is only more than ten years. He started raising cats when he was in his sixties. By the time the first cat died, he would probably be old enough. He could only keep one to accompany him. Having a pet for the last part of your life is a good choice and experience.

As a result, all the great-grandchildren of the first cat he raised died at a healthy age, while his body was still strong.

After giving away seven cats, Peng Changping really didn’t want to experience the feeling of giving away his beloved pets again, so he simply stopped raising cats and raised his great-grandson instead.

Hearing that Zhou Shi couldn't even handle a cat, Peng Changping felt it was time to show his true talent.

So, Peng Changping's daily life became: after breakfast, he would first go to Zhou Shi's house to see the cats, then come to Yonghe Residence to see his apprentice and Jiang Feng, then go to Zhou Shi's house to see the cats, then go have lunch, and after eating, he would go to see the cats. Check the progress of Zhou Shi and Jiang Feng again.

It can be said that the total time Peng Changping spends meeting Zhou Shi and Jiang Feng every day is not as much as the time he spends meeting Mao.

Jiang Feng and Zhou Shi responded:? ? ?

At two o'clock in the afternoon on August 31, the poor Jiang Feng and Zhou Shi ate the unpalatable staff meal in Yongheju as usual. They looked at the braised pork ribs in the bowl that were obviously not cooked properly and sighed deeply.

"How long have Master Peng been in the kitchen this morning?" Jiang Feng looked sad.

"Twenty minutes. Master is taking Fat Hu to get vaccinated this morning. I don't know when he will be here in the afternoon." Zhou Shi was equally sad.

In fact, his cat was originally called Puff instead of Fat Tiger, but I don't know if there was a problem with Zhou Shi's pronunciation or Peng Changping's pronunciation. The cat still thinks it is called Fat Tiger and has no reaction at all.

"I think you have to send your fat tiger back to your hometown and let your mother help raise it. Master Peng has to keep changing his coat back and forth every day, which is very tiring," Jiang Feng suggested.

Zhou Shi shook his head: "It's not necessary. Master said that he will return to the United States after the competition. I am already preparing to apply for a visa. If Master likes it, let him be raised first. When the time comes, he will be sent back to his hometown to be raised by my mother." ”

Speaking of the competition, Zhou Shi suddenly reacted, as if there had been no follow-up to this reality show since Chef Arnold proposed it. He asked curiously: "Is there any follow-up to that competition? For example, when will it start."

This time it was Jiang Feng's turn to shake his head: "No, there has been no news from Chef Arnold. I added him on WeChat and he never sent me a message. I can't take the initiative to ask him."

Speaking of which, Chef Arnold has kept a very low profile during this period. After returning to work at the top-floor restaurant, he went to work in a well-behaved manner and did not cause any extra trouble. Tai Feng Building lost two stove cooks at once, and the top-floor restaurant did not concentrate its firepower on Tai Feng Building, as if that wonton had eaten away the friendship between him and Jiang Feng.

But Jiang Feng knew that this was just an illusion, because Chef Arnold had never liked his circle of friends, not even once.

"But I think it's quite normal. I checked that their program usually starts after the National Day and is broadcast while recording. I think as long as the competition format can be worked out in early September, it will be fine." Jiang Feng felt that since Zhou Shi Chef Arnold has already been mentioned, and I feel sorry for Zhou Shi’s initiative to raise this topic if we talk about it in depth.

Once upon a time, the information between them and the top-floor restaurants was very asymmetric. The top-floor restaurant was doing a very good job of keeping secrets. They didn't know many things, especially about Chef Arnold. Even Chef Arnold didn't know until a few days passed when he ran away last time.

It's different now. They have an intelligence agent who has penetrated into the enemy - Tao Shu.

Tao Shu himself didn't even realize how good an intelligence officer he was.

The last time Tao Shu and Zhou Shi came to have an apprenticeship banquet, they happened to bump into Chef Arnold. Instead of being fired, Chef Arnold remembered him. The factions of Chinese and Western chefs in the top-floor restaurant are very clear. All the stove chefs and main assistant chefs are basically foreign chefs. There are only a few local chefs, and many are odd jobs. Coupled with the natural language barrier, There is basically no communication between the two groups.

Tao Shu used to just hang around and wait for death. He went to work in a top-floor restaurant simply because the wages in a top-floor restaurant were higher.

But things are different now, Chef Arnold remembers him.

Jiang Feng felt that Chef Arnold was probably the only person who could convince others by loudly shouting that he was not racist.

He basically discriminates against everyone and treats everyone equally.

After Chef Arnold remembered Tao Shu, he would often call him to help him. The more times he did it, Tao Shu would notice many of Chef Arnold’s habits. He would even be very sensitive to Chef Arnold’s unusual behavior. aware of it.

In addition, Tao Shu is a talkative, and there is no one with whom he can talk about work matters. Even though Zhou Shi had been accepted as an apprentice by Peng Changping, because Tao Shu didn't understand the complicated love-hate relationship between Chef Arnold and Peng Changping, he still wrote short essays and diaries every day and sent Zhou Shi messages as usual. Today's daily routine.

I had to carefully observe the messages Tao Shu sent Zhou Shi every day to know what Chef Arnold had done today.

"Has Chef Arnold done anything unusual recently?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

"Nothing unusual, it's the same as usual. Every day I yell in the kitchen that the person in charge of purchasing must have embezzled money again. The vegetables purchased are not fresh enough, and the meat purchased is not top-notch." Zhou Shi took a bite of braised pork ribs and put them down silently. Got chopsticks.

"Is it so shady for the top-floor restaurant to be responsible for purchasing?" Jiang Feng didn't believe it. The top-floor restaurant dared to sell the dishes at such high prices. A large part of the reason was because their costs were very high and they used the best ingredients.

"That's why Tao Shu told me that he felt that Chef Arnold just couldn't find anyone to get angry with recently, so he just found a place to get angry." Zhou Shi smiled.

Jiang Feng still felt that something was wrong. Every time Chef Arnold got angry, there was a reason. He would never get angry without any reason.

Just when Jiang Feng was wondering what he felt was wrong, Zhou Shi pointed to his mobile phone on the table: "You have new news on WeChat."

Jiang Feng picked up his phone and looked at it. It was actually a message from Chef Arnold.

The competition format is out.

Jiang Feng clicked on the message. (End of chapter)
