Chapter 781: The Luck of Survival from Despair
Jiang Feng didn't feel much after leaving the memory. He only felt as if he had watched a very long live-action version of wilderness survival.
The beginning is wilderness, the middle is survival, and the end is the end of survival. The beginnings and transitions are very coherent, the story has a complete context, the causes, processes and results, and all the time, place and characters are present. If a professional photographer follows the entire process, the documentary alone can be edited into three episodes.
It’s just that the sheep at the end is a bit fake, which will make the audience feel that it was deliberately arranged by the program team.
Jiang Feng secretly sighed in his heart. Sure enough, everyone who could survive the war years was the chosen one. He silently clicked on the attributes panel and turned to the menu column.
Xia Mubing's last dish is also unlocked.
Xia Mubing (4/4)
[Roasted Whole Lamb (Minimalist) Level D]
Producer: Xia Mubing
Dishes details: This is a wonderful dish that cannot be called delicious, but is very delicious, made with low-quality ingredients, almost no seasonings, and extremely simple cooking conditions. Because of the special environment and an almost perfect coincidence, this roasted whole lamb dish became Chen Shi's most unforgettable dish and belief in his life. It made him respect mutton all his life. There is a certain chance of getting a chance to survive a desperate situation within fifteen days after eating it. Lucky.
Number of times that can be produced within 30 days (0/1)
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Luck from desperate situations?
What kind of luck is this?
He could understand why knowing the buff of roasted whole lamb was a blessing from desperate situations. In his memory, this roasted whole lamb did have a certain metaphysical color. When Xia Mubing and Chen Shi were about to starve to death, a lamb bumped into them for no reason and came uninvited. After eating, the two walked out of the forest that day. It is not an exaggeration to say that they survived from a desperate situation.
But what kind of luck is it to be lucky enough to survive a desperate situation? When you are about to die, will you be lucky enough to save you from death?
This triggering condition is too strict.
Although the lucky buff of roasted whole lamb looks very powerful, Jiang Feng knows very well that this dish is not suitable for sale at all. Putting aside the buff restriction that can only be made once in thirty days, a D-grade roasted whole lamb without even salt will definitely make the guests flip the table.
But having said that, Jiang Feng was a little surprised that this roasted whole lamb dish was rated D. Jiang Feng thought it would be rated F like pure meat wontons.
Jiang Feng read two memories in one day, even though he didn't read them consecutively, he was a little tired. Jiang Feng went to bed early after having his daily video call with Wu Minqi at the right time. He had to go to Yonghe Residence to learn cooking the next day and had no chance to stay up late to cultivate.
In the following days, Jiang Feng began to get really busy.
Jiang's ginseng soup is a dish that takes time to grind. There is a long distance between learning and mastering it. Learning just one dish for a long time will be very tedious, and it will also be a hindrance to the chef's own progress. Adhering to the principle that teaching one apprentice is also teaching, teaching two apprentices is also teaching, and allowed Jiang Feng to learn a lot of new dishes that were not very difficult, which can be said to be quite selfless.
In a flash, more than a month passed.
Jiang Feng studied cooking at Yongheju for more than a month, and Wu Minqi also stayed at the Wu's Restaurant in Shu for more than a month. Even on Wu Minqi's birthday, the two of them only spoke a few words on the video call at night. Wu Minqi told Jiang Feng that Grandpa Wu cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for her, and that Wu's mother bought her a birthday cake, but there was nothing special other than that.
Jiang Feng felt that he and Wu Minqi were like senior high school candidates who were sprinting towards the college entrance examination. They were busy and tired every day, but at the same time, they were also very fulfilling every day. They had a goal that they could move forward bravely and work hard for.
Apart from not being able to meet each other, there was nothing bad about Wu Minqi still not finding the smell in his memory.
In fact, not only Wu Minqi encountered the bottleneck of being unable to find the taste in her memory, but Jiang Feng also encountered a new bottleneck.
He can't make S-level Jiang's ginseng soup.
To be precise, he couldn't make S-level Jiang's ginseng soup stably.
This is a very strange thing.
He can now easily make many S-level dishes, such as S-level chicken bean curds, S-level caramelized yam, S-level Li Hongzhang's chowder, and S-level pigeon swallows. Sometimes he is even in a good state to go all out and perform beyond the ordinary. S+ level dishes can also be made.
But the rating of his Jiang's Ginseng Soup is very unstable.
Sometimes it is S level, sometimes it is A+ level, and sometimes it even drops to A level. Even if it was the S-level Jiang's Ginseng Soup, Jiang Feng felt that it was a little different from other S-level dishes.
In other words, it's like an S-level dish filled with water.
Obviously it is rated S-level, but when I taste it, I always feel that it is still a little bit far away from the real S-level. It is only rated as S-level because it is barely close. It is a parallel import.
Every time when making Jiang's ginseng soup, Jiang Feng felt as if he had punched the cotton and had no way to use all his strength, like a tiger falling flat and being bullied by a dog.
He is the chef of the Third Grand Master, how come he can't even make Jiang's Ginseng Soup without adding water?
Peng Changping had his own explanation for Jiang Feng's confusion. In Peng Changping's words, Jiang's ginseng soup is originally a very complex and difficult dish. Although the production time of the pressure cooker, a magical kitchen tool, has been shortened a lot now, it is also because the pressure cooker has made it more difficult to make.
Jiang's ginseng soup not only requires the level of the chef, but also the experience of the chef.
Jiang Feng is still too young and not experienced enough.
Experience does not rely on talent, and there is no shortcut. It requires the accumulation of time and practice over time. This is what many chefs lack the most, but it is what Jiang Feng currently lacks the most.
Of course, in Peng Changping's opinion, Jiang Feng has already done an excellent job in making Jiang's Ginseng Soup. For being able to learn such a difficult dish like Jiang's Ginseng Soup in such a short period of time, Peng Changping feels that Jiang Feng can be very proud to show off to Arnold. The chef yelled out that I am the best in the world, and my talent is a hundred times better than yours. Such arrogant villain words.
But Jiang Feng didn't think it was possible.
Jiang's ginseng soup is the only true Jiang family dish that completely belongs to the Jiang family from its name to its cooking method. Jiang Feng hopes that when this dish is on the menu of Tai Feng Restaurant, it will be so perfect that everyone will be amazed and will remember it after eating it, not only the name of the dish but also the name of the dish. Jiangjia cuisine is a well-deserved signature dish.
The current Jiang's Ginseng Soup is totally unsatisfactory.
But he didn't know how to make it work.
Unknowingly, Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi fell into an endless loop with no clue, no direction, no exit, and no end point.
Just when Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were trying to find a clear path in their respective dead ends, the reality show that they had completely forgotten finally determined the participating restaurants, contestants, competition recording time and specific rules.
Even the name and domestic title sponsor have been determined.
Unexpectedly and reasonably, this time the title sponsor was won by Han Guishan in an absolutely backdoor way with a delicious name.
It is said that Xu Cheng wanted to take it at first, but apart from "Zhiwei", none of Xu Cheng's industries were related to the food industry - the industries under his name were basically real estate and high-tech.
In the end, Xu Cheng gave up this piece of gold to Han Guishan very cheerfully and righteously, turning the Chinese name of this reality show that could obviously have a very lofty name into the Good Taste Sino-US Chef King Competition.
For those who didn’t know, they thought it was a spin-off of the Tasty Kitchen King Competition.
Jiang Feng after knowing his name:...
I don't know why, but he kind of wanted to quit.
As long as the money is in place, everything will go very fast. Jiang Feng felt that he had only figured out which restaurants were participating the day before, and he hadn't even figured out the information about the rival restaurants. The next day, he received a notice asking him to hurry up and prepare for the next day. I'm hanging out in Yonghe Juhu and will start recording next week.
The final battle is about to begin. (End of chapter)
