Chapter 784: Holding Back
At 7:10 in the morning on October 15th, Jiang Feng was woken up by the annoying alarm clock as usual. He walked out of the room wearing pajamas and holding his hair with a sleepy face. When he looked up, he saw the corridor. There was an extremely eye-catching camera hanging on it, and I was frightened and woke up on the spot.
In the flash of lightning, Jiang Feng realized what he looked like now.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng flashed back to the room, closed the door tightly, and two minutes later, his hair was only slightly messy, and he had put on the handsome yet solemn, solemn yet energetic, and energetic look carefully selected last night. Jiang Feng, who had lost his youth, and youth was not only a noble birthday suit, walked into the bathroom to wash up with brisk steps and the burden of an idol.
I even spent three minutes blow-drying my hair.
When he came to the living room, Jiang Feng found that Wu Minqi was just like him. Not only had she dressed up carefully, she had even curled her hair with a curling iron and was drinking porridge.
It can be seen that regardless of gender or personality, as long as they are in front of the camera, everyone is burdened by idols.
"Fengfeng, hurry up and eat. Master Sun just said in the group that he will drive us there this morning." Wu Minqi raised her phone and signaled Jiang Feng to sit down and eat quickly and stop studying the styling.
For this reality show, Jiang Feng, Wu Minqi, Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai specially formed a small group of four.
Unexpectedly, there was such a thing as a ride, so Jiang Feng hurriedly sat down to eat. The millet porridge had been on the table for a while and was not as hot as when it came out of the pot. He just picked up the bowl and gulped down the bowl of porridge before starting to eat the cake.
Seeing Jiang Feng drinking porridge, Wu Minqi suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Fengfeng, why didn't you submit the porridge when you presented the menu the day before yesterday?"
When Tai Feng Restaurant first opened, the sales of Jiang Feng's porridge were still good, it was cheap and delicious.
"Didn't you read the additional terms? The program team didn't allow porridge to be included in the menu. Maybe it's because they think porridge is not considered a dish. It's a big pot." Jiang Feng said.
Wu Minqi nodded to express understanding.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Jiang Feng looked at his phone and found that Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai were already waiting for them downstairs, so he hurried downstairs. In addition to Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai, there was a cameraman waiting for them downstairs. Sun Maocai told them that the other three cameramen were already at Taifeng Building.
In fact, the question Jiang Feng asked the director about the cameraman yesterday was a bit overly worrying. The program team did assign a cameraman to each person. But these cameramen do not follow one-on-one. Cameras are installed everywhere in Tai Feng Building. Only one or two are required to follow the chefs, while other cameramen will take pictures of customers or other people. Moreover, it is very tiring for the cameraman to carry a huge and heavy camera all the time, so everyone takes breaks and takes shifts.
"I got news last night that one of Babao Zhai's contestants this time seems to be Tong Deyan." Sun Maocai said.
"Teacher Tong?" The three people in the back row said in unison.
"Didn't Teacher Tong leave Babao Zhai a long time ago and open his own private restaurant? How could he represent Babao Zhai in the competition?" Jiang Feng looked shocked. What he really wanted to say was how could Tong Deyan represent Ling Guangzhao's restaurant in the competition.
Didn't the two of them start fighting each other as soon as they met, and started fighting each other when they sat together? Eating at the same table was like hell on earth.
"It seems that Ling Guangzhao specially invited him back for this competition." Sun Maocai said, "I don't know whether this news is true or not. I don't find it strange that Ling Guangzhao would invite Tong Deyan, but I also find it a bit incredible that Tong Deyan would agree. But I’m not very familiar with him. I remember that our show is being recorded and broadcasted at the same time. It will be broadcast next week after the filming is completed. We will find out when we watch the show next week.”
Jiang Feng:...
Who would have thought that if they want to know about the contestants, they have to follow up regularly like ordinary viewers.
Although he didn't know whether the news was true or false, Jiang Feng felt that it was still somewhat credible. This could also explain why Ling Guangzhao was so confident that he spent huge sums of money to buy a qualification for the competition through the back door.
Now Babao Zhai has Tong Deyan in the red case and Zheng Siyuan in the white case. All of a sudden, it has changed from the last strong competitor to a strong restaurant that is expected to emerge. Jiang Feng originally thought that no matter how bad the first week was, Babao Zhai would be at the bottom. Now that the bottom restaurant is gone, Tai Feng Tower is in danger.
Although now novels and TV series are all about watching the protagonist counterattack from last place, step by step, pretending to be a slap in the face, and getting stronger amidst the boos and boos.
But if you can get first place, second place, third place, or second last place, who wants to get first place from last? After all, no one can guarantee whether he will be the protagonist, cannon fodder or villain.
Jiang Feng sat in the back seat and suddenly became very nervous.
The cameraman was sitting in the passenger seat. He didn't understand much Chinese, but he could see the huge change in Jiang Feng's mood. The camera instantly focused on Jiang Feng, making Jiang Feng not sure whether he should be nervous or not.
No matter how nervous he was, the result of the lottery was already determined. Jiang Feng couldn't do anything except hope that customers would order the fried shredded potatoes.
After arriving at Tai Feng Building, everyone went to the dressing room to change clothes as usual, and then went to the kitchen to prepare food. At first, the program team wanted to install a camera in the dressing room. Maybe the peaceful and democratic American variety show is such a large scale, but it was rejected and boycotted by all the employees of Tai Feng Tower - no one wanted to have their belly or beer belly photographed by the camera.
Facing the cameras everywhere and the aloof and professional cameramen, everyone is a little nervous, but no matter how nervous they are, they still have to work. At first, everyone had some idol baggage because there was an additional cameraman in the kitchen, and when chopping vegetables, they wanted to look like the special effects of TV series. But soon everyone got into working mode, and gradually began to ignore the cameraman, and even vaguely disliked him for blocking the road.
Jiang Feng discovered that the photographer's favorite photo was Zhang Guanghang.
Jiang Feng was cutting meat, and the cameraman was filming Zhang Guanghang.
Wu Minqi was picking peppercorns, and the cameraman was filming Zhang Guanghang.
Sun Maocai was discussing with the two old men the menu changes of Tai Feng Restaurant in two weeks, while the cameraman was filming Zhang Guanghang.
Sun Jikai was counting the rice noodles prepared for him by Comrade Wang Qiulian with a look of despair, while the cameraman was filming Zhang Guanghang.
Jiang Feng:?
He understands everything, but Lao Zhang doesn’t participate!
Just when Jiang Feng was thinking about reminding the cameraman who were the contestants in this kitchen, Sun Jikai walked up to Jiang Feng with a basin of rice noodles in his hands with a look of despair.
"Do you think this bowl of rice noodles is a bit too much?" Sun Jikai felt that he might not work in a high-end hotel, but in a food stall specializing in beef rice noodles.
Jiang Feng glanced at the big basin: "Is that much? I specifically asked my mother to prepare two basins, why only one basin?"
Sun Jikai:?
Sun Jikai went back with the rice noodles and continued to doubt life. After Jiang Feng finished handling the ingredients he was supposed to handle, he happily started washing, peeling, and shredding the potatoes.
He couldn't think of any other way to promote the fried shredded potatoes. He could only make the fried shredded potatoes his own responsibility from the time of peeling. A chef from the Three Masters who ranks among the top 10 on the list of famous chefs comes to personally fry a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes for only 12 yuan. This behavior is tantamount to Peng Changping personally going to sea and setting up a stall in front of Yongheju to sell it for 8 yuan. A portion of grilled cold noodles.
Jiang Feng himself was so moved.
At 11:30, Tai Feng Building opened for business on time.
From this moment on, everything in the back kitchen of Tai Feng Building had to make way for Jiang Feng, Sun Jikai, Wu Minqi, and Sun Maocai. For this reason, everyone specially sent Sang Minghou, the loudest one, to announce the dishes loudly next to the ordering system.
"Master Sun, 3 portions of Dinghu vegetarian dish, 4 portions of baked lobster in soup, and 1 portion of Dinghu vegetarian dish, 1 portion of Longjing tea royal bone, and 2 portions of mustard-flavored prawn balls."
“Have a baby dish in soup!”
"Master Sun, your order queue is too long, I'll stop taking orders for you first." Sang Ming shouted loudly.
These dishes of Sun Maocai all take time, especially the baked lobster in soup, the lobsters are all freshly killed.
Sun Maocai nodded in agreement. He was already very happy to have a portion of baby dishes in soup. Sure enough, there are many customers with slippery hands in this world.
"Sister Qiqi, 4 portions of mapo tofu, 2 portions of chrysanthemum fish, 6 portions of kung pao chicken, and two portions of boiled pork slices. Do you want me to stop your order first?"
"No need." Wu Minqi started to get the ingredients.
"Brother Sun, 12 portions of fried beef river!"
Everyone:! ! !
At this moment, everyone felt that Sun Jikai was shining brightly.
Sun Jikai directly carried the pot of rice noodles to the cooking table closest to him, grabbed a handful, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"It's gone. Oh, here comes another piece of beef river and a piece of cabbage sum."
Sun Jikai:?
It's obvious that he has the best performance, so why can't he be happy at all?
"Brother Feng, you..." Sang Ming finally saw Jiang Feng's dish and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped and stretched out his fingers to count on the ordering system.
"Come on, the guests of Babao Chestnut Pigeon basically have 17 portions, 10 portions of chickpea puddings, 9 portions of crab-stuffed oranges, 2 portions of marriage set meal, 6 portions of braised eel segments, and 10 portions of pork sausage. Brother Feng, you This order is already fully booked, and the waiting time has reached two hours. The order must be stopped.”
"Not even a portion of shredded potatoes?" Jiang Feng asked.
Sang Ming counted again.
"No."
Jiang Feng:...
"Stop the order." Although Jiang Feng didn't want to stop the order, the queue lasted for two hours. If there were any customers who weren't afraid of waiting for hard orders, he might not be able to finish the order by the time the business ends at noon.
There was nothing he could do. He had too many scheduled appointments and daily orders.
Wang Xiulian has already cut down a lot of reservations for Babao Lixiang Ge, but it still doesn't help.
Sure enough, he was still holding everyone back.
The stir-fried shredded potatoes are really suffocating.
Jiang Feng sighed.
Sang Ming didn't know when he had already run to Jiang Feng.
"Brother Feng, it's okay. You already have a lot of dishes for lunch. The chowder with caramelized yam and Li Hongzhang, the marriage set meal, and chickpea pudding are all scheduled for noon. The business hours at noon are short, so you can just wait until the evening." Sang Ming comforted.
"Yeah." Jiang Feng nodded and showed a forced smile.
The camera teacher in the distance suddenly turned around, pointed the camera at Jiang Feng, and captured this scene. (End of chapter)
