Chapter 797 Counterattack
As of ten o'clock in the evening, the porridge shop's dishes were basically sold out.
There was some porridge and mung bean soup left, but not much, and Liu Qian drank them all. The snacks are basically packed fresh, and there is nothing left. When it is almost ten o'clock, there are still customers waiting in the store, who want to pack more snacks and take them home. But Sun Maocai had been busy all day, and his energy was a little unable to keep up, so Jiang Feng came forward to tell the customers that the porridge shop would close at ten o'clock and would no longer be open, so that the customers should leave early.
Almost as soon as ten o'clock arrived, Jiang Feng and others stopped what they were doing, hung up the sign saying "Closed for Business" and called it a day.
It's so tiring.
Even Sun Maocai, who has been a chef for decades, has never experienced such a tiring day.
Sun Maocai is actually the most tired. He has been making snacks since the promotion sign was placed at the door at noon. Various snacks are continuously produced from his hands like assembly line production.
Even if the machine is running like this for nearly ten hours, it still needs to be stopped for rest and maintenance, let alone people. After finishing the work at hand, Sun Maocai didn't even want to play with his mobile phone. He sat quietly on the table in the lobby in a daze, waiting for the staff to tally the results and announce the points and rankings of the major restaurants in the first week.
The other three were not much better, but Jiang Feng was slightly better. With Liu Qian helping to pack the takeaways, his workload was much less. While everyone else was resting, Jiang Feng simply cleaned up the kitchen. After cleaning up the kitchen, he was surprised to realize that he was actually very hungry now.
The four of them basically didn't eat much all day today. They ate a little casually in the morning. At noon, they had no appetite due to poor business, and they were too busy to eat later. Just when Jiang Feng was wondering whether to go out and buy something to pacify everyone's stomach, the staff of the program team called to inform them to gather at the coffee shop. The statistical results had come out.
"The results have come out, and they asked us to go to the coffee shop." Jiang Feng said loudly.
The tired people immediately cheered up and got up to go to the coffee shop.
"What cafe? Shall we go to the cafe to eat now?" Liu Qian didn't understand the situation and didn't understand why everyone was going to the cafe.
Jiang Feng then remembered that Liu Qian didn't know anything and could only explain to her simply: "Well, actually today we are recording a variety show. Today is a test. We are going to the coffee shop now and wait for the results to be ranked. Come out.”
Liu Qian nodded in understanding: "Then shall we have dinner later?"
Jiang Feng:?
As expected of you.
Liu Qian has been busy for so long, so Jiang Feng should treat her to a nice meal: "Why don't you go to the cafe with us, and you wait outside. When it's over, I'll treat you to a meal."< br>
"Okay." Liu Qian followed Jiang Feng and the others to the coffee shop.
The coffee shop at this time was a little different from the coffee shop in the morning. There were some instruments and sundries inside, and even many of the decorations that occupied the space had been removed and replaced by seven round tables. Each round table had four chairs, apparently for the contestants from the seven restaurants.
Jiang Feng noticed that there were many more people in the coffee shop.
There were many new faces he had never seen before, and there were also some people he knew who had never been here before, such as Xu Cheng, Peng Changping, Ling Guangzhao and Lu Sheng. Ling Guangzhao was smiling and getting close to Xu Cheng and Peng Changping. This scene was seen by Tong Deyan, who had just entered the coffee shop, and made a very disdainful snort. It was obvious that the relationship between him and Ling Guangzhao had not eased, but because of some unknown The reason for coming back to help Babaozhai platform.
Although Tong Deyan was still the same, Ling Guangzhao's attitude changed drastically. As soon as he saw Tong Deyan, he greeted him warmly and asked him if he was tired today. After asking Tong Deyan, he asked Zheng Siyuan, and then he cared about the other two Babao who did not deserve to have names. Chef Zhai is like a good modern boss.
Ling Guangzhao suddenly changed from a black-hearted capitalist to a good contemporary boss. This made the other boss present, Lu Sheng, a little embarrassed, so he stepped forward to greet the chef of Yongheju in the same manner. After asking, he stopped by to pay attention to Jiang Feng.
"Congratulations. When I first heard that you picked that porridge shop, I thought you had made a mistake. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a sure win. It seems that your Tai Feng Building is expected to qualify this time." Lu Sheng smiled. said.
When he said this, Jiang Feng immediately understood that today's test results in Tai Feng Tower should be quite good, achieving a shocking reversal from the last place.
"When did you come?" Jiang Feng asked.
"I just came here not long ago. I wanted to hear the results. I wanted to see if there was any chance of Yongheju. Now it seems that there is no chance." Lu Sheng was a little helpless.
While they were chatting, various camera positions had been set up, and the organizer's staff also shouted a few words through a small loudspeaker, indicating that everyone should sit down and be quiet now that the results would be announced.
Anyone who has watched variety shows knows that when announcing the results of a competition, the host's speaking speed will become very slow. He will not pause when he should pause, and he will seem to lose his voice when he should not pause. Everyone is very unhappy with this kind of speech. way to create a tense and anxious atmosphere.
There were two hosts announcing the results, one speaking Chinese and one speaking English.
"After a week-long points competition and today's single-week test, the points and rankings of the first week have been calculated. Now I will announce the number one restaurant." When the host announced the rankings, there was a sticker next to it. On the whiteboard, every time a restaurant is announced, a line will be revealed, with test points, business points from Monday to Friday and total points on it.
"The number one restaurant this week is Zhiweiju, with a total of 8762 points. Congratulations to the four contestants from Zhiweiju."
Jiang Feng took a look and found that Zhiweiju's business points in the previous five days were very high, more than 6,300 points. This means that today's test score of Zhiweiju was only more than 2,400 points, and it did not even sell a thousand pastries.
In fact, it’s normal if you think about it carefully. The test started at ten o’clock in the morning, but the preparation time for white pastry is very long. The business of the pastry shop at night will not be as good as during the day. If a typical breakfast steamed bun shop starts selling steamed buns at five or six o'clock, the preparations will start at one or two in the morning. Steaming the pastries also takes time. Today, Sun Maocai took so long to make the pastry, but it actually only lasts a hundred or so - the speed goes up as you go. will be slower.
But in any case, 8762 points is definitely a super high score.
"The second-ranked restaurant this week is the top restaurant, with a total score of 6197 points. Congratulations to the four contestants of the top restaurant."
The operating points of the top-floor restaurant are more than 3,700 points, and the test score is also more than 2,400 points. As a Western-style dessert shop, this score can be said to be quite good. Jiang Feng thinks that the top-floor restaurant can have such a high test score because it sold a lot because of the hot weather. Because of the drinks.
Desserts don’t take long to make either.
Having said that, the porridge is the most cost-effective. If you cook a large pot at a time, you can sell a lot. The most important thing is that you can cook it at the same time. As long as there are enough pots and stoves, you can cook as many pots as you want.
"The third-ranked restaurant this week is Babao Zhai, with a total score of 5313 points. Let us congratulate the four contestants of Babao Zhai."
Jiang Feng:?
? ? ?
Babaozhai? ? ?
Jiang Feng glanced at Ling Guangzhao subconsciously. Ling Guangzhao was already beaming with joy, smiling from ear to ear, and the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky to stand shoulder to shoulder with the moon.
Babao Zhai's operating points are over 2,300 points, and its test points are nearly 3,000 points. It is obvious that their fried skewers business is really good today. One of the four chefs in Babao Zhai is definitely a master of fried skewers, and so is Ling Guangzhao. Really unlucky.
"The fourth ranked restaurant this week is Tai Fung House, with a total of 4999 points. Let us congratulate the four contestants of Tai Fung House."
As soon as Tai Fung House's score slip was revealed, there was a small exclamation at the scene. The reason was that Tai Fung House's test score was too high, with a full 4380 points. This score can be said to be unparalleled.
The main reason why Tai Fung House gets such a high score is due to the full discounts on takeaways. People these days can order any dish in order to get the full discounts, from C’est Pooh to Coca-Cola to orange juice to mung bean soup. As long as they can get the full discounts, Dare to order whatever you like, whether you like it or not. Originally, I might have only wanted to order some dim sum and some porridge, but after I finished ordering, I found that I was still six yuan short, which was a full discount, so drinks and side dishes were arranged.
Jiang Feng made a simple estimate before leaving the porridge shop. Today, he sold no less than two hundred bottles of mineral water and carbonated drinks alone.
Other stores may lose because they don't sell mineral water and carbonated drinks.
After all, today the money is calculated by the share. As long as it is sold, even if it is a bottle of water, it will be counted as three points.
After knowing the points of his own store, Jiang Feng didn't care so much about the points of the remaining restaurants. Huaiyang Restaurant ranked fifth, Yonghe ranked sixth, and Chengji Restaurant ranked seventh. It's no wonder that Lu Sheng's smile was a bit bitter when he was talking to Jiang Feng just now. Yonghe ranked sixth in the first week, and was most likely out of the game.
After the points and rankings were announced, it was over. Everyone was very tired after a busy day and just wanted to go back to their respective houses to eat and rest.
The program team finally announced the game time for next week. Since today's test is quite tiring, Monday will be a rest day, and the game time will be from Tuesday to Saturday. Contestants from out-of-town restaurants have to rush back on Monday, so they have to suffer a bit in terms of rest.
After saying these words, everyone dispersed.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations! Good luck next week."
"Congratulations."
Most of the people present knew Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai, and they would all come over to say congratulations to them. Tai Feng Tower suddenly changed from a group that was definitely eliminated to a group that was expected to qualify. The strength of the contestants was obvious to all. In this kind of situation It's natural that everyone wants to put the icing on the cake when the time comes. Saying more congratulations won't be anything less.
"President, you are so awesome. That test score is over 4,000 points, which is the highest." Liu Qian ran in out of nowhere, and no one stopped her. Maybe someone from the program team thought she was The staff of Good Taste treated her as a member of the program team.
"Thanks to your help today, otherwise we wouldn't have such a good business." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, we all want to thank you today." Sun Maocai now regained his composure and smiled, "I know you have a big appetite and you didn't have enough snacks today. If you change your name, come to Tai Feng Tower when you have time and I'll make them for you. A table full of authentic Cantonese food will definitely satisfy you. ”
At this time, Liu Qian didn't know how tempting and enviable Sun Maocai's promise was. She said happily: "Okay, okay, thank you, Uncle Sun. I also want to try what authentic Cantonese food tastes like. I haven't been there yet." What about Guangdong Province?”
"I asked my dad to send you two cans of kimchi tomorrow. Qianqian, aren't you at work now? If you think the takeout near the company is not delicious, just have some kimchi with your meal." Wu Minqi said with a smile.
"Wow, Qiqi, you are so good!" Liu Qian was ecstatic.
Sun Jikai and Liu Qian were not familiar with each other at all. After thinking about it, he felt that his Cantonese cooking skills were not worth mentioning in front of Sun Maocai, and he had nothing to offer. He hesitated for a long time and then said: "Next time I have a chance, I will treat you to dry-fried beef river. ”
Jiang Feng:?
Lao Sun, you have changed. What you were most proud of was your Wenchang Chicken!
Although it always turns over.
Everyone's promises are very tempting, but that is all for the future after all. The most important thing in life is to focus on the present. Liu Qian is such a person who lives in the present.
"Then what shall we eat now?" Liu Qian asked.
Jiang Feng glanced at his phone. The organizer was working very slowly, and it was already eleven o'clock. Except for barbecue restaurants, fried chicken restaurants and a few restaurants that are open until early in the morning, there are no more delicious restaurants open now.
"My dad is probably not asleep yet. Why don't I call him and ask him to cook some vegetables and some fried rice, and we can make do with each other and eat at the bar. Liu Qian, where do you live now? Let me see if it's far away." Jiang Feng suggested.
"It's not far, it's not far." Liu Qian didn't even know where Jiang Feng's family lived, so she said it was not far. "I will go to work at nine o'clock tomorrow. The company is very close to where I live. I can get up at eight o'clock. It doesn't matter if I go to bed later today. , I’ll just take a taxi home”
"What kind of fried rice should I eat after a tiring day? I've prepared dinner. I originally thought that some people must have worked hard today and need something good to eat, but now it seems that they shouldn't have worked so hard. If you don't mind, Let's go to Yongheju and eat together." Peng Changping appeared behind Jiang Feng at some point and said with a smile.
Han Guishan and Xu Cheng, two people who were supposed to be busy with everything, sat very calmly at the table not far away, with "I want to eat" written all over their faces.
"Of course I don't mind. We're not happy enough to be able to take advantage of you, so how could we mind?"
"Then let's go." Peng Changping yawned and shook his head, "You guys are so tired recording a variety show. You have to be so busy every day that you don't even have time to eat. No wonder some people are so hungry that they are brainless. Even though I’m not awake, I have to choose a bakery even though I don’t know how to make cakes.”
This is obviously a scolding of the apprentices. One of the contestants in Yongheju is Peng Changping's apprentice, but Peng Changping went abroad after just a few years of teaching.
The apprentice, who never had a name, lowered his head in shame and did not dare to speak.
"President, are we going to Yongheju for dinner now?" Liu Qian asked.
"Yes, let's go to Yonghe for a big dinner." Jiang Feng couldn't help but yawned. After thinking about it, he said more words, "Eat less when the time comes. Don't eat too much and fill yourself up."
He was really sleepy and didn't want to send Liu Qian to the hospital for gastric lavage so late.
Liu Qian:? (End of chapter)
