Chapter 791 Boss Han’s Appetite
There are still the same staff in the cafe, but there are a lot fewer of them. They are probably taking other contestants to visit the restaurant on the spot.
When the general manager saw that Jiang Feng and the others had returned from watching, he went up to say hello enthusiastically and even had four cups of coffee brought to them. Such enthusiastic attitude made Jiang Feng and others feel a little flattered, and also had some inexplicable feelings.
Those who knew they were the last one, but those who didn't know thought that the person in charge was the first one.
The coffee was a bit hot, so Jiang Feng just held it in his hand as a token gesture without drinking it. Instead, Sun Jikai took a few sips.
"Why do I feel that their attitude is a bit wrong?" Sun Jikai said.
"I feel the same way. It feels like our attitude has been a little weird since we came in this morning." Wu Minqi nodded in agreement.
Just when Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai were about to join the discussion and have an in-depth discussion about the wonderful attitude of the general manager, the door opened.
Chef Arnold walked in with the BGM of the non-existent Chaos Superstar.
He has the attitude of a gangster and an Italian godfather, making the staff behind him and the chef in the top-floor restaurant look like his thug brother.
Chef Arnold saw Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was also looking at him.
Eye to eye.
Chef Arnold showed a very contemptuous, but somewhat complacent, and even slightly proud expression.
Jiang Feng could tell from his eyes that he didn't want to come over quickly to thank me.
Jiang Feng:?
Just when Chef Arnold was about to walk towards Jiang Feng, the person in charge jumped out of nowhere, started talking to Chef Arnold enthusiastically, and asked someone to bring him a cup of hot, bitter coffee without sugar.
The communication between the two was thus strangled in the cradle.
Soon, contestants from other restaurants returned to the cafe one after another. The latest group also arrived at 9:50, so they could start choosing restaurants in advance.
In fact, many of the chefs present are old acquaintances of Jiang Feng. Needless to say, the four chefs in Yongheju are as familiar as their colleagues. As soon as they came in, they greeted Jiang Feng enthusiastically and talked about their business. They also asked Jiang Feng where he had been recently. What kind of dishes were they practicing? Those who didn't know thought Jiang Feng was in the same group as them.
Jiang Feng, the chef of Babaozhai, also recognized half of them, Tong Deyan and Zheng Siyuan.
The Huaiyang Building is led by Pei Shenghua. Although Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi's confession and love were spontaneous, in the eyes of Pei Shenghua, who needs to make a profit, this order can be regarded as his performance. As long as he saw Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi in the same frame, he couldn't help but be satisfied. He had been staring at the two people since they came in, and nodded from time to time, which made Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi's backs tingle.
Another old acquaintance was a little surprised, but expected - Gu Li is one of the contestants in Zhiweiju.
After Gu Li showed the culinary world that he is not a mediocre person who only knows how to work hard at the Good Taste Cooking Competition, he is just a white chef who learns slowly and progresses slowly. Zhang Wuji, who seemed to have been kicked off the cliff, got through. The second line of Ren and Du. Although his cooking skills are not as rapid as those of the male protagonist in Shuangwen, his unremitting efforts over the years have finally paid off, and now he is a respected chef at Zhiweiju.
Guli has the experience of participating in competitions and winning championships, and his strength is acceptable. It is normal for him to represent Yongheju in the competition.
Seeing that all the contestants had arrived, the organizer reiterated the rules of this test without talking too much nonsense. Instead of the convoluted things that reality show crews like to do, let’s get straight to the point. Everyone started to choose a store.
Since the selection order is determined by points ranking, although the program team will not announce the points of each restaurant to everyone, the ranking can be seen. As everyone expected, Zhiweiju ranked first. As a restaurant that specializes in white dishes, they really have an advantage in this volume segment.
Zhiweiju selected the pastry shop among the four shops that were rated by Jiang Feng and others as having the best business. After selecting the shop, they left neatly.
Youzhiweiju started this way, and the rest of the contestants also followed suit. They didn't talk too much and didn't talk nonsense. They just left after choosing and raced against time.
The restaurant on the top floor ranked second, and as expected, they chose the dessert shop tailor-made for them.
Babao Zhai was somewhat unexpectedly ranked third, and what was even more surprising was that they actually chose the fried skewers shop that Sun Jikai had chosen.
A team with top white chefs and top red chefs chose a fried skewers restaurant, which really left the contestants who knew them a little confused.
Huaiyanglou ranked fourth, choosing a milk tea shop with little technical content but no worries about business.
Yongheju ranked fifth and chose a bakery.
The insignificant Chengji Restaurant ranked sixth, and Sun Maocai chose the rice roll restaurant he had chosen. Jiang Feng guessed that one of the four chefs could make rice rolls and was good at making porridge.
It is also possible that because I was ranked sixth and had no hope of promotion, I simply chose a random company.
The rice roll shop that Sun Maocai had his eye on was chosen, so Tai Feng Lou could only choose the huge porridge shop that Jiang Feng had his eye on.
After the store is selected, all the original staff of the store will be removed, leaving only the contestants. In order not to affect the actual results, the photography guy is off today and there is no photographer to follow. Correspondingly, countless cameras have been installed in and around every store, especially porridge shops.
When Jiang Feng came to the porridge shop, he felt inexplicably like when he was back at University A.
It seems that this is not a porridge shop in the snack street, but a healthy stir-fry restaurant at the back door of A University.
"Jiang Feng, can you make it in time for lunch now?" Sun Maocai glanced at his watch.
"I can make it in time. The porridge is made very quickly. You don't need to spend a few hours cooking it slowly. It will probably be all ready by eleven o'clock." Jiang Feng said, looking up and scanning the menu on the wall, "We still have simple cold dishes. Sold as usual, do you want these braised vegetables? We don’t have time to cook all these dozen kinds of porridge at once without any problem. The dry fried Niuhe fried rice is for Lao Sun and Qiqi. Master Sun, you can be responsible for the snacks. .”
Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai nodded and said there was no problem.
"We can sell ice powder and jelly. The jelly can be made in time. By the way, are there any ingredients for making ice powder and jelly here?" Wu Minqi asked.
"I just asked the staff. If you don't have the ingredients, you can call them and ask for them." Jiang Feng said, walking into the kitchen on the first floor.
The kitchen of this porridge shop is still made of transparent glass. You can clearly see the environment inside and the status of the chef. The kitchen is very clean. If you don't look at it from the perspective of booming business, this porridge shop is actually quite OK.
The vegetables in the kitchen are all washed and the meat is fresh and needs to be processed and handled by the chef himself. Sun Maocai was in charge of the snacks and had a lot of work. Sun Jikai helped him handle some of the ingredients, while Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi handled their own ingredients.
The four people each have their own division of labor and work to do. If a customer walks in and sees the scene in the kitchen through the glass window, he will definitely feel that this is a very professional and rigorous porridge shop.
There is just no waiter.
Soon, after processing the ingredients for more than a dozen kinds of porridge, and adding water to the pot to start stewing, Jiang Feng discovered this problem when he was free.
It's normal for other restaurants not to have waiters. They either simply can't dine in, or there aren't many tables in the store and they don't need waiters.
But theirs is a two-story porridge shop.
It was also weird not having a waiter, and they really needed a waiter to clear the plates.
Jiang Feng immediately called the program team to tell them about this. The program team said that their attitude was very good. It was their fault and they were negligent. They immediately sent two unprofessional staff to act as waiters.
One of them was the staff member who showed them around the store.
The face of the young lady who was temporarily hired to work overtime was full of joy.
At 11:10, all the porridge has been cooked, all ingredients have been processed, the first batch of snacks have been steamed, and the porridge shop is ready for business.
Just waiting for customers to come.
It's a pity that there may be several Somali trenches between these six words, "just waiting for customers to come to your door".
It wasn't until twelve o'clock that there were only two tables of customers in the store, totaling three people.
Not all of the guests at these two tables were here to eat. One couple was obviously tired of shopping and wanted to find a place where they could sit and enjoy the coolness. They just ordered two cups of sour plum soup as a token token and did not order anything. Something to eat.
Due to insufficient preparation time, the sour plum soup was not freshly brewed, but an assembly-line product made from cheap sour plum powder. Just two cups of sour plum soup did not attract this couple.
Another person who came to eat was an old man, who was obviously a nearby resident and a regular customer. He ordered a basket of shrimp dumplings and a vegetable porridge. After finishing the meal, the uncle enthusiastically complimented the waiter on the skill of the chef today. The shrimp dumplings and vegetable porridge tasted great. He also said that he would take his wife to eat together in the evening.
When Jiang Feng heard this, he even felt a little regretful that the uncle could only have one wife.
After twelve o'clock, the number of customers and takeout orders began to increase, but there were not many places where the first floor was not full, let alone the second floor. Although every customer's reaction and evaluation after eating were very good, and some even left some unsatisfied after eating, they packed some to take away, but the base is too small, and even if they pack it, it will be a drop in the bucket.
If this test was not twelve hours, but three or four days, Jiang Feng was confident that he could fill the porridge shop with customers in the next two or three days.
Unfortunately, there are only twelve hours.
At 1:23 p.m., the porridge shop welcomed Han Guishan’s family.
There were no customers in the porridge shop at this time. Jiang Feng and others began to discuss in the lobby whether they should put up a poster to attract customers. The program team didn't say not to put up posters outside the store just now.
Just as the four of them were studying what font should be used on the poster, and Jiang Feng was hesitating whether he should avoid the show's cameras and find an opportunity to take out the promotional sign from the props column, Han Guishan had a skewer in his left hand and a shortcake in his right. Walked in like this.
Wang Jing was holding half a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with one hand, and holding Han Youxin with the other hand. Han Youxin was raising his head and shouting that he wanted to eat sweets, not porridge or steamed buns.
"Why are you eating sweets? You kid really doesn't know how to eat. I tell you that porridge and steamed buns are delicious. The porridge and steamed buns here are made by your brother Jiang Feng. The vegetable dumplings made by your brother Jiang Feng are so delicious! "Han Guishan said.
Han Youxin didn't want to eat it anymore.
Jiang Feng could hear the conversation between the family of three while they were still outside the store. Just as he was about to get up, Han Guishan came in. As soon as he entered, he was stunned.
Han Guishan obviously didn't expect Jiang Feng's group's performance to be so poor.
From Han Guishan's reaction, Jiang Feng and the others could see that the performance of their group might not be so bad.
Han Guishan soon adjusted his expression and mentality. After all, he was the boss and an investor. He knew exactly what he was doing here.
The family of three found a table by the window and sat down. Han Guishan glanced at the menu on the wall and said loudly: "One cage of siomai, two cages of shrimp dumplings, two barbecued pork buns, a bowl of wonton noodles, and some cucumber and A portion of chicken feet.”
After saying that, Han Guishan turned around and asked his wife and children: "What do you want to eat?"
Everyone:...
Sun Jikai couldn't hold it back for a moment and sighed in a low voice: "With Boss Han's appetite, it would be a pity not to do mukbang." (End of Chapter)
