Chapter 859 A huge favor
After returning home, Jiang Feng took out the contact number of the staff of the program team that he only knew, called them and told them how many votes he wanted. As long as the program team dared to give him, he would ask for it, with a guarantee of twenty-one.
The staff member who answered the phone didn't know whether he was unclear about the current situation or something, but he agreed very readily and said that he would inform Jiang Feng within three days how many remaining tickets he had.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng began to think about what he should do these days.
Jiang Feng has learned a lot in the memories of the Jiang family's old house. There are still two days left in the retrospective CD. Jiang Feng is going to review the memories of the old house again in two days. He will study it all over again with Jiang Chengde seriously, even if it is a special training before the game. .
But what to do with the rest of the time?
Make soup? Making Jiang's ginseng soup?
Jiang Feng felt that this was not necessary.
He can now make S+ Jiang's Ginseng Soup very stably, using a method that is a little bit his own - at least the thickening is completely his own.
Jiang Feng knew very well that he had understood thickening, and the only thing he could understand at this stage was thickening. The road to cooking is long. Even if he has reached the sixth place in the celebrity chef list, there is still a long way to go before he can see the end. Not to mention that there may be a longer road after that end, and at the end of the road there is an end that no one has ever seen.
The end point he saw was Jiang Chengde's.
Jiang Feng felt a little arrogant that, given his age, his current achievements, his cooking skills and the number of years he expected to live, his end point should be further away than Jiang Chengde's.
Don't rush, you have to walk slowly, down to earth, step by step.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I won't be able to eat enough for the Jiang family for a few days.
Jiang Feng reopened the attribute panel and flipped through the tasks, and found that there was still one [Lu Sheng's Wish] that had not been completed.
[Thirty-Seven Letters] Maybe I can challenge him in the near future, but not now, because Jiang Feng doesn't have time to study the dishes written in Jiang Huiqin's letter.
[Lu Sheng's wish] can be fulfilled now, if the diner Lu Sheng mentioned is willing to eat Yan's Wings in the near future.
By now, Jiang Feng could cook half of the dishes in the Yan Chi Banquet. Braised shark's fin, two-color prawns and duck are directly on the menu list. Not only can they cook it, but they also have buffs. Jiang Fengnu can also make sunflower duck and grilled black ginseng. If someone could guide the abalone in oyster sauce and guanyan in clear soup, Jiang Feng believed that the results he would make would not be too bad.
After all, he has now mastered all the techniques of Tan's cuisine and knows the basic methods. He just needs someone to tell him the general steps.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Feng feels that the swallow-wing banquet at Taifeng Tower is more authentic than the swallow-wing banquet at Yonghe Residence.
Jiang Feng promised Lu Sheng to help if he could. He had nothing important to do now except waiting for the finals. It would be a good idea to help Yongheju open a Yanyi seat before the finals. It's just a good time to practice soup stock and high-end dishes. The swallow-wing banquet takes so long that it can be used as a mock final.
With this in mind, Jiang Feng sent a WeChat message to Lu Sheng, telling him that he could help Yongheju open a Yanchi restaurant recently and asked him to ask the diner when he would be free.
As soon as the news was sent out, Lu Sheng called.
"Hello." Jiang Feng answered the phone.
"Jiang Feng, if I remember correctly, aren't you going to compete in the finals next Saturday? Are you really free to help me open the Yanchi seats now?" Lu Sheng didn't waste any time and got down to business.
"I'm only free because the finals are about to take place. Anyway, I've been idle these days. I can help you practice my skills by opening the Yanqi seats. It's like simulating the finals in advance." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Lu Sheng was speechless for a moment, and Jiang Feng could imagine him smiling bitterly and shaking his head on the other end of the phone.
"Practice your skills at the Yan Chi Restaurant. I'm afraid only those of you who are in the top ten of the celebrity chef list dare to say that." Lu Sheng said.
"Why, it sounds like Boss Lu is a little unhappy. Forget it if he's not happy, I'll go practice elsewhere." Jiang Feng joked.
"Don't!" Lu Sheng's voice suddenly became louder, "I'm just waiting for you to save my life. I'm not afraid of delaying your game! If you are really free...how about tomorrow? I'll open the Yanzhi Seat tomorrow. The ingredients have been prepared a long time ago. I thought I couldn't wait for you, so I was going to bite the bullet and ask Master Qin to help me open it the day after tomorrow. The shark fin has been soaked for six days."
"So urgent?"
"I can't help it. I'm so anxious to wait. It's rare for the old man to go back to China for a few days. He was supposed to leave two days ago, but he just wanted to try the swallow-wing feast. I was too embarrassed to leave like this. I kept putting it off." Lu Sheng sighed, "I'll send you the address. Can you check if it's convenient for you to go there? It's not convenient for me to drive to pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay, send me the address. I'll hang up first." Jiang Feng hung up the phone and received the address from Lu Sheng after a while.
Looking at the address, I found that it was actually near Li's house.
That area was full of courtyard houses. It seemed that the old customer that Lu Sheng had to sell his face to was either rich or expensive.
Although Jiang Feng could go by himself, he just wanted Lu Sheng to drive a special car to pick him up. After all, only Peng Changping had the privilege of having Boss Lu drive a special car to pick him up. Rounding up, Jiang Feng also enjoyed the same treatment as Peng Changping.
Early the next morning, Lu Sheng drove downstairs to pick up Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng didn't bring anything with him, so he just brought the kitchen knife that he used as a reward in the game. Lu Sheng was really shocked when he got into the car with the knife.
Although it is normal for a chef to carry a large, sharp kitchen knife with him, the scene of a man holding a kitchen knife and expressionlessly opening the door and getting into his car is very scary no matter how you look at it.
"Boss Lu, I've been thinking about it all night and I'm really curious. What is this diner's background that actually makes you have to give him a full Yan's Wing banquet? If I remember correctly, didn't you tell me that you Has it been more than ten years since Yongheju opened a complete Yanqi Seat?" Jiang Feng started asking gossip as soon as he got in the car.
Lu Sheng smiled helplessly: "I knew you would definitely ask."
"Tell me about it."
"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. The main reason is that this guest has been kind to us in Yonghe. My father and I owe him a huge favor, and we can't repay it no matter what. He happened to eat a whole swallow Wing seats, so if he wants to eat Yan Wing seats, he has to give him a complete meal.”
Even if the last fig leaf is torn off.
"What a huge favor?" Jiang Feng was really curious now. How could Yongheju owe a guest such a huge favor?
"Do you remember that decades ago when I was still very young, didn't we have a fire in Yonghe Residence that almost completely burned down, except for the area by the window on the second floor?" Lu Sheng said.
"Remember." Jiang Feng nodded. Of course he remembered, but this incident reminded him of the memory he touched from the window frame.
"Master Peng went to the United States a few years after my father took over Yongheju. Although Master Peng kept all his disciples, to be honest, the skills of those masters at that time were not up to par."
"As soon as Master Peng left, the business of the store was greatly affected. My father almost went bankrupt trying to buy Yongheju back, and he didn't have much money left. In addition, the restaurant business at that time was not as profitable as it is now. Master Peng I made a lot of money when I was there, but once Master Peng left, the business became bleak.”
"The fire happened three or four years after Master Peng left. The store was in decline, and business was not very prosperous. There was no money to rebuild it. To put it bluntly, the store was not even worthy of being on the second floor without burning out the windows. I can’t afford even a framed table, chair or bench.”
"But the version I heard is that after Yonghe Residence was burned down, it was quickly renovated and rebuilt on the original basis. The results were pretty good," Jiang Feng said.
"That's true, but the money didn't come from my family. This diner generously lent it to my father at that time, and the interest was not confiscated, and it was not fully paid back until many years later." Lu Sheng said.
Jiang Feng finally understood.
It is indeed a great kindness. It can even be said that without this diner, there would be no Yongheju today.
"In all these years, this diner has only asked for a swallow-wing banquet once?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"When Yonghe Residence was first rebuilt, several of the chefs who were in charge of the dishes had not yet mastered Kung Fu, and the Yanji Banquet was not served at all. Those old diners could understand at that time. The cooking skills of the later chefs were honed. This diner went abroad to do business and settled abroad and has not been back for many years.”
"It's precisely because I haven't been back for so many years that I couldn't refuse him when he asked me, and I was also... embarrassed to tell him the truth." Lu Sheng smiled sheepishly and turned right to look at the street sign.
"Hey, it seems we're almost there, let me see where to turn."
"Turn right at the opening in front and take the small road. Don't take the big road. The front of the big road is blocked by things." Jiang Feng began to give directions.
Lu Sheng:?
Don’t you have no car and don’t know the way around, and it’s inconvenient to take a taxi? Why do I feel like you are more familiar with this road than me?
After three updates for six days in a row, I think I have to wait for two days. After two days, I will continue to owe you more updates (:3_ヽ)_
