Chapter 840 Extending Time
Chef Arnold walked away after scolding him, just like all the previous variety shows where Chef Arnold scolded him, decisively and simply, leaving only a majestic back and a crying macho man.
"Have you filmed it? Have you filmed everything?" The director was so excited that he was dancing and wanted to perform a juggling act for everyone on the spot.
"It's captured, everything is captured!" The cameraman was also very excited.
The two of them remained excited in place, not even noticing until Chef Arnold left.
Chef Arnold was the last contestant to enter the backstage. Since he had just sprayed his ex, he was in a very happy mood. After entering, he even nodded very friendly to the four people at Tai Feng Tower, which made Wu Minqi and Sun Jikai a little flattered.
"Now that everyone is here, I will briefly introduce the content and requirements of the finals to you."
"The time for this final has not yet been determined. According to our original plan, the final should be presented to the audience in the form of a live broadcast. However, since the negotiations between the US and TV have not been smooth, there are still many uncertainties. The current tentative plan is that the competition will last six hours, the same as today’s semi-finals, from 12 noon to 6 pm, and the types of dishes are not limited.”
"All in all, there shouldn't be much difference between the finals and today's semi-finals. If the contestants have any opinions and ideas, they can put them forward now. Since the time for the finals has not been determined, as long as it is reasonable, we will think of it. Ways to meet everyone’s requirements.”
"I have a request." Jiang Feng and Chef Arnold said in unison, but one said it in Chinese and the other in English.
The two of them glanced at each other, and Jiang Feng made a gesture of invitation to Chef Arnold, indicating that he would speak first.
"The competition is too short," said Chef Arnold. "Six hours is not enough."
Jiang Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that Chef Arnold had the same opinion as him. He also felt that the competition time was too short. If there were only six hours, there would be no way to prepare the broth, and there would be no way to make Jiang's Ginseng Soup.
"I also think the game time is too short. It would be best to extend it to eight hours." Jiang Feng said.
"Eight hours is not enough, at least twelve hours." As soon as Chef Arnold opened his mouth, he doubled the original duration of the competition, which stunned the staff.
"Isn't twelve hours too long? It will make the recording more difficult, and it will also put a lot of burden on you contestants and the judges." The staff retorted subconsciously.
Twelve hours is certainly a long time, but it's also a perfect amount of time for the ultimate cooking showdown.
Twelve hours is enough for a good cook to prepare an excellent stock and cook with it. Although the time is long, it is not so long that the chef will collapse mentally and physically. It is a critical period of time. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Feng and the others work about this long in a day. (If you don’t take a break during the break)
"I have no objection." Jiang Feng affirmed Chef Arnold's proposal.
"I don't have any objections, as long as you prepare chairs under the cooking table like today." Sun Maocai said with a smile.
The main figures on both sides had no objections. Now the staff was a little flustered and didn't know how to answer. It feels like it’s not okay to agree, nor is it okay to refuse directly.
After hesitation, the staff member just left a few people in the rest room and fled after saying, "I'll go ask the leader for instructions." This was very inappropriate and it also highlighted that he was really confused by Chef Arnold's request. .
Several people looked at each other in the lounge.
Jiang Feng quietly looked at Chef Arnold, thinking about what kind of dish he was going to make that actually took twelve hours to make.
Even for soup stock dishes, there are not many that require twelve hours to make.
Unless it is the kind of dish that needs to be frozen, refrigerated or left for a long time, but it probably won't be, because if you want to make this kind of dish, twelve hours is not enough.
Jiang Feng's thoughts turned over and over again.
Chef Arnold is much more direct.
In fact, it’s strange to say that since the last time Chef Arnold ate Jiang Feng’s pure meat wontons at Tai Feng Tower, the macho man burst into tears, revealed his true feelings, and told Jiang Feng all his dark history, there seemed to be something between the two. A wonderful revolutionary friendship.
It can't be said that they are friends, but Chef Arnold's attitude towards Jiang Feng is indeed different from that of other people. He is much friendlier. This can be seen from the fact that Chef Arnold saw Jiang Feng burping or asked him if he wanted to drink water. If other people kept burping around Chef Arnold, Chef Arnold would just scold him and tell him to shut up, telling him that the sound of his hiccups had disturbed his ears and made him sleepy.
"What do you want to cook?" Chef Arnold suddenly asked.
His opening immediately confused everyone.
At this moment, the same words came to everyone's mind——
Can it still be like this? !
There is also this kind of operation!
In this world, there is such an exquisite operation as asking your opponent directly before the game what you are going to cook.
"Jiang...Jiang's Ginseng Soup." Jiang Feng was not afraid to say it. Anyway, even if he said it, Chef Arnold wouldn't know what it was.
Peng Changping is a man who keeps his promises, even if it was his father who made the promise. He knows Jiang's ginseng soup, but he only learns it as a dish. He never sells it in restaurants or makes it for others to eat.
Those who had eaten Jiang's Ginseng Soup made by Jiang Chengde himself in those days are probably long dead now. This dish, like the name Jiang Chengde, was once famous, but now few people know about it.
"Jiang's ginseng soup?" Chef Arnold repeated Jiang Feng's words in smooth Chinese, showing a slightly puzzled expression, obviously thinking about what kind of dish this was.
Chef Arnold thought for a few minutes, but to no avail.
"It's your family's dish." Chef Arnold is a smart man. He can guess the relationship between this dish and the Jiang family just from the name. It should be a question but he said it in the affirmative.
"Yes." Jiang Feng said, "This is my great-grandfather's famous dish. He taught this dish to Master Peng's father during the cooking exchange, and Master Peng's father taught it to him again. This year Peng The master taught him to me.”
Chef Arnold's eyes suddenly lit up when Jiang Feng said this, and it seemed as if a flame was burning in his eyes, a flame with high fighting spirit called competition.
"The dish I'm going to cook is also my family's dish. It was taught to me by my father back then. It's not like today's flame beef and last time's beef tower."
"You have to go all out when the time comes, otherwise I'm afraid you will lose too ugly. I will definitely defeat you with an absolute advantage in the finals and let you know my true strength."
For some reason, Jiang Feng felt that Chef Arnold's expression when he said the last word was a bit like the legendary evil smile.
A tall, muscular man with a big beard smiled evilly at him.
Jiang Feng expressed that he was a little scared and even wanted to persuade Chef Arnold to read less novels.
After saying this, Chef Arnold was like the ultimate villain in every film and television drama who said harsh words to the protagonist. He turned around and left with disdain, pride, and confidence, walking like the wind, as if he had the whole world under his feet, and didn't care about his work at all. Did the staff come back to answer the key question of whether the game duration can be extended to twelve hours?
Jiang Feng was stunned.
When the door slammed shut, it was like waking up from a dream.
"Chef Arnold actually has a father." Jiang Feng murmured.
He wasn't insulting Chef Arnold in a different way, but Chef Arnold really didn't feel like a family member.
Not to mention he doesn't look like he has a family, he doesn't even look like he has a master. It feels like this person jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and his cooking skills also jumped out of the cracks in the rocks.
"No, what I mean is that I didn't expect that his father was also a chef. I had never heard of it before." Jiang Feng realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words.
Sun Maocai was actually a little surprised. He and Chef Arnold had met in many cooking competitions over the years, and he could be considered the loser who had been pinned to the ground and beaten by Chef Arnold for many years. Even he had never heard that Chef Arnold's father was a chef, and he actually didn't know who Chef Arnold studied under.
"This is also the first time I heard that he has a father." Sun Maocai nodded.
Everyone:?
"Everyone, we just discussed it. We think twelve hours of competition time is actually OK..." Just when Sun Maocai was about to explain, the staff who had just fled in a hurry broke into the door excitedly, and then found in confusion that The hero of the problem is missing.
"Where's Chef Arnold?" The staff was confused.
"Let's go." Jiang Feng said expressionlessly.
"Ah..."
"You can explain to them." Jiang Feng pointed at Roland and two other unnamed younger brothers who were left behind by Chef Arnold.
These three people never understood the situation because they couldn't understand Chinese. They didn't know why Chef Arnold suddenly became very excited and confident, and then left.
"Oh, okay." The staff obviously accepted Chef Arnold's behavior that was different from ordinary people, and continued to talk about the results of the discussion, "We feel that if you all agree to extend the competition time, for the sake of a better competition, and for the sake of Everyone can perform better, twelve hours is enough Not bad. But correspondingly, we may make adjustments to other situations in the finals, and the time of the finals may also be postponed. It is expected that it will be postponed for one to two weeks. You can prepare well during this period, and we will update it as soon as there is any news. Notify everyone as soon as possible.”
Everyone said they have adapted well to the postponement of the game. It is not like the semi-finals have not been postponed before and everyone is used to it.
Chef Arnold was gone and no one had any questions or comments, and it was not early now. Both the contestants and the staff were actually very tired, so they dispersed.
Each goes back to his own home, each finds his own mother, prepares for the finals, and makes you, me and him happy. (End of chapter)
