Chapter 842 Unparalleled
Two minutes later, Jiang Jiankang, whose hands and feet were cold due to the cold wind outside, finally opened the door. Jiang Feng, who was still wearing pajamas, holding a chicken coop on his head, hadn't washed his face, and had a very obvious eye guano in the corner of his eye, came in from the door. Come.
"Er smash, you took it..."
"I saw it." Jiang Feng raised the phone in his hand and poured another basin of cold water on Jiang Jiankang, who was already shivering from the cold.
In fact, we can't blame Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi for not opening the door to Jiang Jiankang. The main reason is that the timing of his knocking on the door was too unlucky.
Wu Minqi heard the movement at the door and wanted to open the door for him, but she was wearing pajamas and had to go back to the room to change clothes immediately. Not to mention Jiang Feng, half of his body was still on the ground when Jiang Jiankang knocked on the door. It took some time to get up from the ground, grabbed Wu Minqi's mobile phone and went to open the door for Jiang Jiankang.
Jiang Feng really didn't expect that Jiang Jiankang would dare to knock on the door wearing a shirt and flowery pants in Peiping in the extremely cold morning at the end of December when the temperature had dropped to below zero.
"Dad, go get a cup of hot water..." Jiang Feng walked to the sofa to find the charged mobile phone that he threw away last night. He originally wanted Jiang Jiankang to get a cup of hot water to warm himself up, but suddenly he remembered that there was no hot water at home.
"Dad, go ahead and boil a pot of hot water to warm yourself up." Jiang Feng changed his words.
Jiang Jiankang:?
Although Jiang Jiankang was standing outside the door a few seconds ago and shivering from the cold, with the thick fat on his body, good cold protection system and the heating in the house, Jiang Jiankang has completely recovered and continued what he just left unfinished.
"Son, you don't know. I was sleeping soundly this morning, but my mother slapped me twice and woke me up. I thought I had done something wrong. I used my personal money to buy a kitchen knife and she found out. As a result, your mother told me this good thing as soon as I opened my eyes.”
"I really didn't expect that our family could have such a promising person like you, ranked sixth among the famous chefs! I can't even think about it. When I was studying, I never won the sixth place in any competition. You and I Mom has never finished sixth!" Jiang Jiankang was sitting on the sofa, but he stood up excitedly as he spoke.
"Dad, don't get excited yet. You haven't seen the complete ranking, have you? The third grandfather is ranked second!" Jiang Feng laughed.
When he heard Wu Minqi say that he was ranked sixth on the celebrity chef list, he was so excited that he fell off the bed. But when he was lying on the ground to look at the rankings, he saw that Jiang Weiming was second and calmed down instantly.
second!
It is the ranking that Chef Arnold covets.
It's a pity that Jiang Weiming took away his love with a knife.
"Ah? Your Third Grandpa ranks second?! No, I have to go down and tell your Third Grandpa the good news. I'll leave first." Jiang Jiankang suddenly felt that Jiang Feng's sixth place was nothing, and the hot water was no longer boiling. Han Jiankang I'm not afraid of the wind anymore. I just run down as soon as I open the door and don't even take the elevator.
Jiang Feng:...
Wu Minqi, who was still doing her hair in the room when she heard the door closing, quickly came out of the room and found Jiang Feng alone in the living room, a little confused.
"Fengfeng, where is Uncle Jiang?"
"Go downstairs and tell Third Grandpa the good news that he won second place." Jiang Feng said.
Wu Minqi was shocked: "What?! Grandpa Jiang is ranked second? I didn't even see it before. If not, I have to call my mother to tell her the good news. Hey, where is my phone? Do you have my phone?" Where is my cell phone?”
Jiang Feng:?
Do you all look at the rankings backwards?
Wu Minqi went back to the room to call Wu's mother, while Jiang Feng sat on the sofa and began to reply to the people who sent him messages on WeChat to announce the good news.
In fact, I don’t blame everyone for being so excited. The main reason is that this news was just announced not long ago.
Yes, Xu Cheng didn’t know what he was doing. He selected this ranking once every four years, and everyone in the culinary circle and outside the culinary circle was looking forward to it. The ranking of the most valuable cooking skills was announced on December 29th. It was announced on Weibo at 5:27:34 in the morning.
Who would have thought? The rankings that everyone has been waiting for for four years were actually announced on Weibo.
Jiang Feng even suspected that Xu Cheng couldn't sleep and got up early. After getting up, he found that he had nothing to do, so he simply announced the ranking.
In previous years, the rankings of the Celebrity Chef Directory were published in a special issue by Zhiwei magazine. In the past few years, it was in paper form. In the past two years, with the development of the Internet, it has become an electronic version for easy dissemination. The publication will publish relevant information about the chef, his ranking and the reasons for his ranking. The first twenty reviews are basically written by Xu Chenglai himself, while the others are written by other food critics.
Logically speaking, everyone should be squatting on the "Zhiwei" APP and other rankings, but because Xu Cheng has been waiting for longer and longer until the end of the month and there are only a few days left, many magazines waiting for the publication of the rankings of Celebrity Chefs simply squat on both the APP and Weibo. , I squatted down unexpectedly.
After seeing the ranking, they immediately understood why Xu Cheng had been racing for so long this time, because this ranking was so sensational that if he didn't race for a longer time, he would be sorry for this ranking.
This ranking of the Celebrity Chefs Directory can definitely be regarded as the most sensational one since Xu Cheng established the selection mechanism of the Celebrity Chefs Directory.
Top 10 water changes.
In previous years, in the selection of celebrity chefs, the most volatile ones were the bottom seventy. There were always newcomers coming in and old people who failed to live up to their expectations and fell out. Basically, the positions before the 70th are very fixed, the rankings will change, and the people are basically the same people.
Not to mention that in normal times, not only the people remain the same, but the ranking rarely changes. It took Chef Arnold more than ten years to go from ninth to sixth place.
Basically, if ten foreign chefs want to squeeze into the top ten, they can only wait for the old seniors in front to pass away and rely on hard work to get into the top ten. For example, this year's Sun Maocai has been in the eleventh position for eight full years and is recognized by everyone as a popular player who will definitely make it into the top ten this year.
As a result, Sun Maocai managed to make it in, but Wannian, who was sitting firmly in ninth and tenth, was squeezed out.
What Xu Cheng announced on Weibo was just a simple ranking, which only included names, names, ages and workplaces. The column for retired workplaces was blank. Since the position of the front section of the list of famous chefs has basically remained unchanged, everyone has developed the habit of reading from the back to the front.
Those in the front are all old faces, and those in the back are the new blood.
As a result, this year there is not much fresh blood at the back, but there is a lot of fresh blood at the front.
Peng Changping came first, Jiang Weiming appeared on the celebrity chef list for the first time and took second place. Chef Arnold resentfully took third place. The original second place was directly pushed to fourth, third place was pushed to fifth, Jiang Feng finished sixth. Sun Maocai not only managed to squeeze into the top ten but also ranked ninth.
Several older and higher-ranking parallel importers who were originally ranked at the bottom of the first ten were squeezed down to the dozen or so.
What most shocked melon-eaters was not the fact that two completely unheard names appeared in the top ten.
Instead, there was a work unit in the top ten that I seemed to have heard of but didn’t have much of an impression on.
Tai Fung House!
As we all know, Chef Arnold was the only active player in the top ten of the celebrity chef list in the past. It was this job that made the restaurant where Chef Arnold worked previously, New York Light, have the title of the No. 1 Western restaurant in the United States.
It’s different now. Now there is an extra Tai Feng Building in the workplace.
He also made three appearances in the top ten.
What is the concept of three times?
Just looking at the announcement of the celebrity chef rankings, one feels that Tai Fung House is bullying the top-floor restaurant three-on-one.
The Light of New York can become the number one Western restaurant in the United States with one of the top ten active chefs on the celebrity chef list, and Tai Fung House has three.
Let alone the No. 1 Chinese restaurant, even if it is the No. 1 restaurant in the world, not many people would refute it.
Unparalleled.
The ranking announced by Xu Cheng made the editors and staff of countless food magazines in China go crazy.
Although Peng Changping has been ranked first in the list of famous chefs as a Chinese chef in recent years, there is a consensus that Chinese chefs are weak in the ranking of top chefs.
In the last celebrity chef list, there were only two Chinese chefs in the top ten, one was Peng Changping and the other was Xia Mubing.
After Xia Mubing passed away, many people were speculating that after Peng Changping also passed away, which Chinese chef besides Sun Maocai would be in the top ten of the celebrity chef list.
Many speculations have been made, but none are promising.
Prior to this, the Chinese chef ranked second only to Sun Maocai on the celebrity chef list was Pei Shenghua, ranked 17th. According to the consensus that you have to survive the top ten to get into the top ten, Pei Shenghua had to survive seven.
Even if he is in his prime and has great hope of reaching the top ten, he doesn't know how many more years he will have to wait.
There are only a handful of Chinese chefs ranked in the top 30, and they are basically concentrated in the middle range between 30 and 60. They are neither above nor below, neither bad nor good, nor good.
In addition, there have been no outstanding young chefs emerging in China in recent years, which has led to a lot of rumors in the industry that are badmouthing Chinese food.
The staff of gourmet magazines and many food critics have been holding their breath in their hearts, waiting for the day when another astonishingly talented and brilliant person like Sun Maocai, such as Chef Arnold, or as shining as Peng Changping will appear in the Chinese food industry. Feeling proud, you can write articles more freely.
Then this day came, so quickly and suddenly, on Xu Cheng’s Weibo at 5:27:34 in the morning of December 29th.
In the eyes of many people in the industry, Jiang Feng's sixth place finish was far more sensational than Jiang Weiming's second place finish.
Jiang Weiming is already a hundred years old. Even if this is a false age, his actual age is still ninety-nine.
Jiang Feng is different, he is only twenty-four years old.
He has enough time and unlimited future, enough for him to compete with Chef Arnold for the number one spot in the celebrity chef list in the next few years.
All industry insiders who were friends with Jiang Feng on WeChat sent congratulatory WeChat messages to Jiang Feng as soon as they got the news. Don't ask for help in times of need, but ask for icing on the cake.
Whoever he was, famous or unknown, he will be an inescapable topic on the lips of chefs around the world from today and for many days to come.
Twenty-four years old, sixth on the celebrity chef list.
Unparalleled in the world, brighter than the sun, all geniuses will pale in front of him.
Everyone knows that for many years to come, the future of Chinese food will be written by him.
Just like Jiang Chengde back then. (End of chapter)
