Life is a Game

Taifeng Building's overly prosperous business has lasted for about three or four days. After three or four days, although there will still be long queues of customers outside every lunch and dinner time, it will not be like a few days ago at noon and queue at night. exaggerate.

After all, the price of Taifeng Building is not suitable for the working class. It is enough to queue up to eat once, experience the strength of the top ten chefs in the list of famous chefs, and then post a circle of friends to brag about it. Can't live.

Although the manager and the cleaners of Taifeng Building have been busy these days without touching the floor, Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai, who are the targets of everyone's flock, are not very tired.

Jiang Weiming didn't cook at all in the past few days. Instead, the old man worked hard to cook for a few days and found that he was really far less popular than Jiang Feng. In a fit of anger, he went on strike with Jiang Weiming and went to the teahouse to drink tea and brag with the old men every day. I don't even want to go to class.

By the way, what he was bragging about was also his grandson, Jiang Feng, who ranked sixth in the famous chef list.

On January 11, Ji Xia's mother-in-law and aunt came to visit Beiping.

Jiang Feng directly gave Ji Xia and Ji Xue a big vacation. Ji Xue had paid vacation. Ji Xia herself had no salary. It also saves Ji Xia from using the private money he saved from not eating fried chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, oden, coke, ice cream, and French fries in the past few months to treat her mother-in-law to eat roast duck.

At 10 o'clock in the evening on the first day of playing, write down that the first thing to do when you come back is not to go home first, but to go to Jiang Feng's house to report to Jiang Feng's play with mother-in-law and aunt today, and report today's expenses by the way, to prove the 8888 play fund for her I will use it all for playing, instead of secretly deducting it to buy snacks.

Jiang Feng was cooking high soup noodles when Ji Xia reported to work.

Jiang Feng has fallen in love with the taste since he cooked a bowl of simple and delicious high-soup noodles in a five-star hotel in the south that day. After I return to Beiping to go to work, I will save a little of the broth every day after hanging it up and take it home. I cook a bowl of noodles in the broth before going to bed for supper.

Jiang Feng originally wanted to cook more and invite Wu Minqi to eat, but Wu Minqi said that this kind of high-carbohydrate and high-purine supper would make him ten catties, so he refused very decisively.

"Master, my sister and I took my mother-in-law and aunt up to the Great Wall this afternoon. After taking the cable car down, I bought roasted sweet potatoes for my mother-in-law. Then we went to eat roast duck. After eating the roast duck, my sister went shopping with my aunt. I took my mother-in-law to I went to the snack street where you competed before, and ate stinky tofu, kebabs, lotus root flour balls, donkey rolls, preserved vegetable pancakes, sugar buds, salty twists, mung bean cakes, and swan cakes..."

Seeing that Ji Xia was about to describe her travel notes as the name of the dish, Jiang Feng interrupted her immediately: "Have you finished eating?"

Jiang Feng was already considering whether to send Ji Xia to the hospital for gastric lavage now.

Ji Xia shook her head: "No, it's just that my mother-in-law can't eat those things in the village. I just wanted to buy them all for my mother-in-law to try. Except for stinky tofu and skewers, I asked my mother-in-law to bring them back to the hotel after I finished eating them."

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the fire, and the high soup noodles came out of the pot.

"Do you want to eat noodles?"

"want."

Jiang Feng was going to go to Guili to get a normal bowl of noodles for Ji Xia to fill with half a bowl of noodles. When he was taking it, the voice of the name of the dish just being announced suddenly rang in his ears, so he turned his hand and took the small bowl next to the bowl. seasoning dish.

Jiang Feng gave Ji Xia a seasoning dish of noodles.

Ji Xia:?

While Ji Xia was eating noodles from the seasoning dish, Jiang Feng asked her about her travel plans tomorrow.

"Grandma said that she wants to come to the store to see you tomorrow." Ji Xia and his wife swept away the noodles on the plate.

"Look at me?"

"Yes." Ji Xia nodded, "Mother-in-law said, Master, you have helped our family a lot. If it wasn't for Master's willingness to recruit my sister, she might still be working in other places now. If it wasn't for Master's willingness to accept me as an apprentice, I might not be here now. If you know what you're doing, you might not even be able to eat meat, and it's impossible to eat so much delicious food."

"Mother-in-law even made you a pair of gloves. I wanted to bring them to you today, but mother-in-law said she wanted to give them to you in person tomorrow as a thank you gift." Ji Xia said every word.

"Alright, Xia Xia, you can bring your mother-in-law to come later tomorrow, around eight o'clock in the evening. Don't eat dinner, I will cook two dishes for your mother-in-law so that she can taste my craftsmanship. There are too many guests and no place to sit." Jiang Feng thought for a while and said.

"Yeah." Ji Xia nodded, "Master's dishes are the most delicious, and my mother-in-law will definitely like them."

Jiang Feng just liked to hear his apprentice tell the truth, so he immediately gave Ji Xia half a bowl of noodles, watching Ji Xia finish eating the noodles and drinking the soup, he urged her to go upstairs to sleep.

After Ji Xia left, Jiang Feng sat at the dining table thinking about Ji Xia's future.

He was not as good as Ji Xia's mother-in-law said. At the beginning, he thought that Ji Xia had the talent to accept her as an apprentice, but he was not ready to be a master, and he didn't know how to be a master.

He can only teach Ji Xia the basic skills, nothing else.

Even if he is now the sixth in the list of famous chefs, if he goes out and makes a statement saying that he wants to recruit apprentices, young and middle-aged chefs from all over the world will definitely flock to him, but he still can't teach Ji Xia anything.

He is a chef with a red case, no matter how good he is, he is only a chef with a red case. Ji Xia's talent is in the white case, so he shouldn't be delayed just because he is a chef with a red case.

Jiang Feng had thought about this issue before, and planned several future developments and outlets for Ji Xia. But because there are too many things this year, one after another is a bit overwhelming, so he quickly put Ji Xia's future development behind him.

Xia Xia will be seventeen soon, and she is about to usher in the most golden and most suitable time for her chef career, and she really can't delay any longer.

Jiang Feng just sat at the dining table thinking about it and even forgot to eat noodles until Wu Minqi was thirsty and came out to pour water.

"Fengfeng, what are you thinking? Your face is cold." Wu Minqi patted Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng came back to his senses: "I was wondering what Xia Xia should do?"

"Xia Xia? Isn't Xia Xia very good? If I remember correctly, didn't her mother-in-law come today? Xia Xia should be with her mother-in-law today, what's wrong?" Wu Minqi was puzzled.

"Xia Xia's white case master hasn't been found yet."

Mentioning this, Wu Minqi could only sigh: "It was the best choice for Xia Xia to study the Zhiweiju system for a few years. During the previous competition, I took the opportunity to ask the master of Zhiweiju. Chefs who learn from masters. And now you, Master Sun, and Grandpa Jiang are all in the top ten of the list of famous chefs, if any of you three come forward and tell Zhiweiju about this, Zhiweiju will definitely sell you face."

"But Xia Xia doesn't want to." Jiang Feng didn't want to force Xia Xia to do something she didn't want just because they all thought it was right and the best.

Xia Xia has been forced by everyone these years to do what they think she should do.

Her mother wanted her to be a trash can, someone to confide in her stress and grievances.

Ji Xue wanted her to be a normal child and live a life she never had the chance to live.

No one has ever asked Ji Xia what she wants to do, what she wants to do, and what kind of person she wants to be. It was as if no one had ever cared what grade she was in or what she was doing during the summer vacation.

If Ji Xia needed an adult to help her make choices when she was a child, but now Ji Xia is no longer a child in terms of physiology, psychology, or the world she has seen.

She was able to run away from home more than a year ago and go to work in a garment factory. She was able to live well without being discovered for several months. She even planned to open a breakfast shop in the future, which proves that Ji Xia has her own decision. ability.

It's just that at that time, because of her knowledge and vision, she couldn't make a decision that everyone felt was right.

At that time, Ji Xia was an abnormal child.

The current Ji Xia is a normal and happy big kid.

Jiang Feng felt that he was not qualified to help her make a decision. All he could do was for Ji Xia to think of the best ways he could think of, and let Ji Xia choose by himself.

"Let's talk about it." Jiang Feng sighed, and suddenly felt a headache about how to apply for his child's college volunteers.

Sure enough, the child has a headache when he is small, and the child also has a headache when he is older.

"There is still time and options. I am asking someone to find out if there is a better way than going to Zhiweiju."
