Life is a Game

"Dear audience friends, now you can see that Wu Minqi from Taifeng Building suddenly went to the ingredients area to pick ingredients. Let's see what she took. First of all, she took a few oranges, and she is now going to the food area. In the aquatic product area, I am picking fish. Okay, everyone can see that contestant Wu Minqi has selected three fresh fish. Eggs, she went to the vegetable area..."

"Strange, is there something wrong with the dishes in Taifenglou? Why did contestant Wu Minqi suddenly choose so many dishes? Just now the photography teacher gave the camera to Jiang Feng. Judging from the expression of contestant Jiang Feng, there should be nothing wrong with the dishes in Taifenglou Question, he was very calm. Okay, he looked at Contestant Wu Minqi and nodded at her, obviously in recognition of her choice of dishes, which may be a new tactic of Taifenglou. It is worth mentioning that Contestant Jiang Feng and Contestant Wu Minqi are the same For couples, it is obvious that couples have a tacit understanding than other chefs."

From the moment Wu Minqi selected the dishes, the newly replaced commentator was as if he had been slapped with chicken blood. His mouth kept staring at the several contestants in Taifeng Building, completely ignoring Roland who was struggling to stir the batter.

Wu Minqi brought back the ingredients and made fish balls with Sun Jikai, while Jiang Feng chose to stir-fry fresh vegetables first to satisfy his cravings.

"Taifenglou's latest tactic is really puzzling. Contestant Jiang Feng suddenly gave up the broth he had been taking care of carefully and started cooking vegetables. Could it be that this plate of vegetables is going to be added to the broth. This is a fresh cooking method, which is unheard of. Okay, You can see that the dish of green vegetables that player Jiang Feng is cooking is out of the pot, let's see how he will deal with this dish of green vegetables."

"He took a sip, maybe to try the taste. He added another chopsticks of vegetables but didn't eat them. He was walking towards Wu Minqi. He...he fed the vegetables to Wu Minqi?!"

"He started eating by himself?!"

"He fed contestant Wu Minqi again?!"

Not only the commentator was dumbfounded, but all the audience and audience were also dumbfounded.

It's not news that the contestants in Taifeng Building suddenly started to eat compared to each other in the middle of the competition, and it's not like everyone has seen it before. But in the middle of the game, it is a bit too much to suddenly start to sprinkle dog food. You eat when you eat, and what to feed everyone.

After all, the commentary is a professional commentary, and he quickly continued to explain the dynamics of the players on the field as if what he just said was not what he said, but he didn't know that this plate of fried vegetables was just the beginning.

Jiang Feng fried another fish-flavored eggplant.

Fry a large plate of noodles.

Four phoenix eggs.

As for why there were four phoenix eggs, Jiang Feng thoughtfully made three copies for the groups of relatives and friends in the first three rows, one for each row, and everyone could get one.

The audience was boiling, and Han Guishan was in tears.

The audience behind thought that everyone had the phoenix eggs, and everyone stretched their necks and looked forward to it, waiting for Jiang Feng to make the next batch, but Jiang Feng didn't do anything and went back to look after Gu Gaotang.

The stock is almost ready.

Jiang's ginseng soup will also start making.

An extremely long two hours.

The word "lengthy" is relative to the audience at the scene. They thought it was time to eat again, but they didn't expect that not only did the meal not have to be eaten, the cooking process on the stage was also not exciting, and all the chefs were around the casserole. , Chef Arnold is still stirring the soup.

There are 5 hours left in the game.

It belongs to the most boring, least interesting, most persuasive, and also the most drowsy middle stage.

But it was also the stage of Jiang Feng's original plan to show off his skills.

During this period of time, Jiang’s ginseng soup is simmering on the stove on a low heat, without his supervision, and the sea cucumber and abalone soup has finally entered the final few hours, without the need for Sun Maocai to keep watching and adding some new ingredients from time to time go in.

Not to mention Wu Minqi and Sun Jikai, they didn't have to do anything, just sit and watch.

Everyone is free, and everyone has plenty of time to do things outside of the game.

For example, make some special dishes that can inspire the audience and also have a certain appreciation.

"Qiqi, help me get some ingredients, grandson, I remember there are squabs in the ingredients area, you go and get five whole pigeons to be deboned." Jiang Feng decided to stop working.

"You want to be the Eight-treasure Chestnut Pigeon, now?" Sun Jikai didn't know Jiang Feng's plan, and when he heard that he was going to be the Eight-Treasure Chestnut Pigeon under such circumstances, he was so surprised that he forgot to control his expression.

"If you're idle, you're idle. I'll leave the five stoves on the side of the porridge to you. Anyway, you are familiar with the previous steps, grandson. I'll be in charge of thickening the rice at the end," Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Sun Jikai finally understood that Jiang Feng wanted to be the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon, but he didn't just want to be the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon.

"You don't think you want to do something else, do you?" Sun Jikai was only worried that Jiang Feng would do something else to get high, that he would play off, and smashed Jiang's ginseng soup in his hand.

"I want to make another 6 servings of the silken yam."

Sun Jikai breathed a sigh of relief, this is simple, no effort, and it will come out quickly.

"5 servings of chicken."

Sun Jikai nodded, this one is also simple and doesn't take much effort.

"Three chicken saffron."

Sun Jikai:? ? ?

Before Sun Jikai could speak, Jiang Feng continued.

"Two servings of glutinous rice lotus root, 6 servings of braised pork, 5 servings of chopped pepper fish head, 10 servings of steamed green eel, 6 servings of Yun chicken, 5 servings of two-color prawns, 3 servings of pigeon swallow, we will see if we have time Do you want to cook other dishes?"

"By the way, the pigeons will help me pick three more and deal with them together."

Sun Jikai:? ? ? ? ? ?

Sun Jikai felt that his face was not covered with question marks, but he himself was just a small question mark with a lot of questions.

He thought Jiang Feng was probably crazy.

Picture what? As for? What about the game? Be respectful, okay? !

Although Sun Jikai thought that Jiang Feng was probably crazy, but seeing that he was now sixth in the list of famous chefs and ranked higher than Sun Maocai, Sun Jikai chose to remain silent and went to the ingredients area with Wu Minqi to pick pigeons.

"I think you should persuade Jiang Feng, even if he is confident now, he can't... cook so many dishes." Sun Jikai thought he should say something.

There are 5 hours left before the end of the game. Under normal circumstances, the evening business is only 5 hours from the preparation of ingredients to the end. It is definitely more than enough to cook these dishes.

But that doesn't mean it's reasonable to make these dishes at the finale of a serious food competition.

It's simply too unreasonable, too arrogant, too inflated, even more arrogant than Chef Arno's previous performances in all variety shows combined!

"I believe in Fengfeng." Wu Minqi said, and walked to the vegetable section to help Jiang Feng choose the vegetables he needed for the dish name he just reported.

Sun Jikai had no choice but to accept his fate and pick the pigeons.

"Are you really going to cook so many dishes?" Sun Maocai didn't mean to object. From yesterday's last simulation, he could tell that Jiang Feng's 12 hours of making Jiang's Ginseng Soup and Jinyu Cabbage was definitely more than enough. He just didn't think it was necessary.

He might not be surprised if A Nuo's chef did such a show of skill, but Jiang Feng's usual performance gave him the impression that Jiang Feng was not the kind of person who would choose to show off his cooking skills on such occasions.

"Occasionally, I always want to do something out of the ordinary." Jiang Feng said with a smile, "especially on such an important occasion."

You know, in the last occasion like this, he picked up the microphone and shouted out Wu Minqi, I like you.

Although it was forced by several judges at the time.

Wait, judges.

Jiang Feng looked at the judges' seat. As expected, the four judges supported their heads and stared at the stage boredly. Xu Cheng was the first to notice that Jiang Feng was looking at them. He met Jiang Feng's eyes, full of grievance and hunger.

When the meal was distributed just now, the staff didn't give it to the judges, but just gave each judge a box of lunch during lunch time. But the program team prepared boxed lunches worth more than ten yuan, how could it compare with the porridge from Taifeng Building and the garlic bread from the restaurant on the top floor? taste, did not eat a few mouthfuls.

At this point in the game, all four of them are weak, pitiful, helpless, hungry, and want to eat.

God knows how much Xu Cheng wanted to reach out and stop the staff to let him have a taste when Jiang Feng asked the staff to bring the phoenix eggs to the relatives and friends table to distribute to everyone.

He really wanted to eat, even the noodles that Jiang Feng had fried earlier.

Jiang Feng gave Xu Cheng a understanding look, saying that you must have a bite of the next dish, and reconfirmed that there is no problem with Jiang's ginseng soup, so he can not pay attention to it for a long time, so he walked to the ingredients area to pick the main ingredients.

Some ingredients can be handled by Wu Minqi and Sun Jikai for him, and some ingredients are better handled by himself.

The three people in Taifeng Building all rushed to the ingredients area, but did not attract the attention of the commentator.

This commentator felt that he had already seen through the chefs in Taifenglou, all of them were just a feint, and now he must be looking for food in the ingredients area because he was not full from the meal just now, so he wanted to make something to eat for himself, so he would not be fooled Woolen cloth.

The commentary soon found out that he was wrong.

Sun Jikai, Wu Minqi, and Sun Maocai helped Jiang Feng process the ingredients at the same time, and Jiang Feng's food was delivered very quickly.

Batch 1 was 6 servings of candied yam.

Using the method of sinking sugar on the bottom of the oil to make 6 servings of shredded yam, one pot after another, not only fast and efficient, but also very skillful.

In other words, it is extremely ornamental.

Even if the audience is all laymen who can't understand it, they can see that this technique is very cool, and it is completely different from the general method of making candied vegetables.

Especially when one of the 6 plates of silk-drawn yam was served to the judges, and the remaining 5 plates were served to the audience seats from the back to the front. Standing up and inhaling wildly, some people even couldn't help but let out small cheers.

Just applause.

The eyes of all the audience in the front row were basically following the steaming shredded yams held by the staff, looking back in unison, stretching their necks, as if the stage was behind.

The audience who was the first to take the candied yam in the last row almost cried with joy. He did not expect that he would have the opportunity to eat the first mouthful of freshly baked candied yam in such a poor position.

I was so touched. If it wasn't for the fact that the audience in this competition was just a decoration and couldn't vote, he would have given Jiang Feng a full vote.

The lucky spectator stood up.

Using the disposable chopsticks left over from the box lunch at noon, with trembling hands, I picked up a piece of hot shredded yam and pulled it out with all my strength.

The long sugar strands look crystal clear and sparkling under the light.

The most shining element, the small piece of yam that was still steaming, was the small piece on his chopsticks.

At this moment, this piece of yam was the focus of the audience, and the camera teacher even gave it a close-up.

The staff was about to give cold water to the lucky spectator, who couldn't wait to stuff the hot yam into his mouth, and was so hot that he almost jumped out of his seat. Even so, he still chewed and swallowed it stubbornly, showing a painful and happy expression.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone including lucky audience No. 2 who was holding a plate of shredded yam in front of him, the lucky audience in the last row sighed affectionately and loudly: "It's delicious!"

"too delicious!"

"It's just a little hot."

"Why don't you serve the dishes from the first row!" Jiang Jiankang, who looked back eagerly, but couldn't even see the dishes clearly, made a longing voice.

Without even being reminded by the staff, the lucky viewer quickly handed over the shredded yam to the people around him.

With so many spectators in the audience, he was extremely lucky to be able to eat a piece, and he couldn't be greedy.

After getting the answer they wanted, all the audience who were turning their heads turned back, concentrating on writing and staring at the stage full of longing.

Jiang Feng was still cooking.

Not only is he cooking, but he is also doing it very quickly.

Every time a dish is served, he checks to see if there is any problem with Jiang's ginseng soup, but only returns to the nearby stove to continue cooking when there is no problem.

Vegetable-wrapped chicken, glutinous rice lotus root, braised pork, chopped pepper fish head, steamed green eel...

Jiang Feng cooked the dishes one by one in the order he said earlier, at an astonishingly fast speed.

The quality is also eye-popping.

The staff served the dishes from the last row in order from the back to the front. The audience had a tacit understanding. They took a bite of each dish and passed it on to the people next to them, one by one.

The commentator was stupid. For a long time, he even forgot to explain and only remembered to swallow his saliva.

All the online audience can see is the picture. He can not only see the picture but also smell it on the spot.

The audience who watched the live broadcast online were also stupid.

On the other side of the ocean, when I woke up to watch TV, I happened to see the live broadcast of the game, and the audience was so stupid that I was stunned.

They have never seen such a food competition, a food competition that is not like a food competition at all, but surprisingly good-looking.

Super nice!

Not only does the cooking look good, it's so good, even watching the audience eat the food is good, not only think it looks good, but even feel very hungry.

Many viewers were drooling while watching, and subconsciously clicked on the takeaway app, and found that the only takeaways that the damn takeaway app could order were braised pork and fish head with chopped pepper, and the fish head with chopped pepper was extremely expensive.

No matter how expensive it is, you have to order it, no matter how poor you are, you can't eat poor food, no matter how hard you are, you can't bitter your tongue.

Ge Tun Yan is the last batch to come out of the pot.

Because the bird’s nest needs a certain amount of time to soak, the time for Ge Tun Yan to come out of the pot is much later than that of Babao Chestnut Pigeon, only 40 minutes before the end of the competition.

There are only three copies.

Jiang Feng didn't have time to cook other dishes.

This is his last batch of dishes that don't do business.

The two dishes at Chef Arnold's next door are basically ready to take shape. One is a stew made from the thick soup that he has carefully cooked for ten hours. Dishes made from crushed stewed ingredients.

One soup and two meals are quite rare.

Jiang Feng did not distribute the last three dishes to the auditorium like the previous dishes. The staff sent two to the judges' seats, and kept one for Wu Minqi to eat.

"Qiqi, I remember that you haven't eaten the pigeon swallow I made yet. Try it." Jiang Feng handed the pigeon swallow to Wu Minqi. Serving Jiang's ginseng soup will not miss the best time to thicken the juice.

"Master Sun, do you want to eat Sun Jikai?" Wu Minqi turned to ask the two of them.

The two shook their heads, expressing that they were not interested in the dog food-flavored pigeon swallow.

Wu Minqi can only enjoy this luxurious pigeon swallow alone.

"Look, Xiaofeng is such a caring kid, he still didn't forget to let Qiqi eat the last dish." Mama Wu smiled from ear to ear.

"Hmph." Wu Hanxue snorted coldly, "Just doing some fancy things."

"The eight-treasure chestnut pigeon just now is not delicious?" Wu's mother gave Wu Han a sharp eye.

Wu Hanxue suddenly fell silent.

Although the relatives and friends seats in the first three rows could not eat the S+ grade shredded yam, they ate the eight-treasure chestnut pigeon, which is theoretically the most valuable in this batch of dishes. Although there is only one bite per person, compared to the difficulty of purchasing that needs to be booked a few days in advance and may not be able to be booked, this bite is already very profitable.

It was enough to make many people who didn't know Jiang Feng well enough to appreciate him.

For example, Mr. Lu.

For example, Grandma Ji Xia.

Mr. Lu came to watch this match entirely on a whim, and he even regretted it during the boring hours in the first half, but he felt extremely grateful for the bite of the Babao Chestnut Pigeon in the second half, and even had some faint regrets. Pride from nowhere.

Only now did he somewhat understand why his grandfather regarded the period of owning Taifeng Mansion as the glory of his life.

"Taifeng Building, it really is amazing." Mr. Lu sighed sincerely.

"Yes." Lu Sheng, the boss of Yongheju, nodded in agreement, "It's really quite remarkable."

Ji Xue, Ji Xia and her mother-in-law are sitting in the middle of the third row with the best view. Ji Xia and Ji Xue have told their mother-in-law a lot of things about Jiang Feng that are worth bragging about, but their narrations these days are not as good as Today's few mouthfuls of dishes are real, shocking and convincing.

"Xia Xia, your master is really an excellent person." Granny Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng on the stage and sighed.

Ji Xia frantically nodded in agreement: "The master is amazing, any dish is delicious!"

"So Xia Xia has to become excellent to be worthy of your master." Granny Ji Xia smiled and patted Ji Xia's head who was a little dazed for a while.

On the other side, Wu Minqi is tasting the pigeon swallow.

Although the game is coming to an end, everyone is doing the last and most important finishing work, and it is not very good for me to eat leisurely. But food is currently so expensive, and the most important thing is that Ge Tunyan is a wish of her boyfriend. It would be a waste not to eat it. Wu Minqi can only continue to eat it in such an untimely manner.

While eating, Wu Minqi suddenly became distracted.

She suddenly recalled some very vague memories.

I remembered when I was very young, I had to hold my mother’s hand when I was walking, and when I was young, she still wore two high and short shofar braids. The memory of her going out to eat.

It was a memory that had long been blurred, even almost forgotten, but was desperately looking for before.

Wu Minqi seemed to hear her mother's voice in her memory.

"Qiqi, this is Chao Shou with red oil, which is eaten by mother. You are too young, this is very spicy, you can only eat one."

The memory gradually fades away, but the taste gradually becomes clearer.

She finally knew what the smell she was looking for was.

Simple, ordinary, ordinary, let her experience spicy for the first time and fall in love with the unique taste of spicy.

Wu Minqi looked towards the auditorium, and Wu's mother and Wu Hanxue were also looking at her.

Mother Wu smiled gently at Wu Minqi, and Wu Hanxue also gave Wu Minqi a very rare encouraging and affirmative smile.

Wu Minqi responded with a bright and happy smile.

"Qiqi seems very happy." Wu's mother raised her mobile phone and took a picture of Wu Minqi's smile.

"Yes." Wu Hanxue smiled and nodded.

Wu Minqi finished eating the pigeon swallow.

There are 20 minutes left in the game.

Jiang Feng began to thicken Jiang's ginseng soup.

He knew very well that this was the most critical and important step for him in this dish. The previous ten hours were dedicated to this moment, the moment when the gravy was poured down to give this dish its true soul.

He has succeeded many times.

But he was still a little nervous.

start.

thicken.

Dish into.

【Jiangshi Ginseng Soup S+ Grade】

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at the cooking table next door.

Chef Arnold's progress is almost exactly the same as his, and the stew has entered the final stage. Chef Arnold spent nearly 11 hours concocting a near-meat puree that is paired with a vegan stew.

Potatoes, carrots, Chinese cabbage and a series of vegetables that can be used in ordinary stews can be confusing.

Chef A Nuo's second dish is as mysterious as Jiang Feng's golden jade cabbage. From the perspective of others, Jiang Feng's second dish is only a pot of soup that is still warming on the stove. They will definitely not be able to guess Jiang Feng before Jiang Feng starts What to do is a fried cabbage.

Chef Arnold's second dish presents nothing but the leftover soup dregs after straining the soup. It is completely impossible to see what these soup dregs can do, which is more confusing than the stew on the stove.

Chef Arnold moved first.

He put the soup dregs into the pot and stir-fried over high heat, constantly shaking the spoon and rolling over.

Jiang Feng also moved.

He started frying cabbage.

A protracted cooking competition suddenly becomes exciting in the last few minutes.

No one knew what they were going to do. The only two old people in the audience who knew what Jiang Feng was going to do were already stunned. They knew what Jiang Feng was going to do, but they couldn't believe that Jiang Feng was going to do it.

Jiang Feng began to pour the soup.

Chef Arnold began to sprinkle the spices.

Jiang Feng began to touch the lard.

Chef Arnold began to collect the juice.

Dish into.

When the time is up, the game is over.

Suddenly, I don't know which audience applauded first. Everyone seemed to wake up suddenly, and the audience erupted into extremely warm applause.

Also mixed with Wang Hao's cheers like fishing in troubled water.

"Brother Feng is awesome!"

Four dishes were served on the jury table.

Completely different four courses, but somewhat the same four courses.

The four judges who were often overlooked in the jury finally became the focus of the audience.

Everyone started to taste the dishes, and everyone looked very serious, maybe it was on purpose, the purpose was to prevent everyone from knowing their true intentions. I only tasted two mouthfuls of each dish, and after tasting it, I just nodded, rinsed my mouth and tried the next dish.

The expressions of the four judges made everyone very nervous.

Especially when it was time to score, no one wrote, which made everyone even more nervous.

The judges seemed to be having a hard time.

The audience seemed anxious.

On the contrary, the two protagonists, Jiang Feng and Chef Arnold, looked very calm.

Jiang Feng felt sure, and so did Chef Arnold.

The four judges were still hesitating, and the two judges from across the ocean, who were relatively small, had already turned their attention to Peng Changping and Xu Cheng for help.

These two are also looking at each other, clearly wanting the other to make the decision.

Everyone was hesitating, so hesitant that the staff of the program group were a little anxious, and began to gesticulate to urge the judges to give a result quickly. If there is any delay, the time for the live TV broadcast in the United States will come soon.

Although the current ratings are not bad, there is really not enough time.

Suddenly, Chef Arnold raised his hand.

The staff told him a few words through the headset and turned on his microphone so that the entire audience could hear his voice.

Chef Arno speaks Chinese.

"I want to try Jiang Feng's dishes."

The four judges were all stunned, and Peng Changping was the first to react, nodding, indicating that Chef Arnold could go to the judges' table to taste the dishes.

The camera teacher quickly switched the camera to Chef Arnold.

Chef Arnold walked up to the judges' table, took a pair of brand new chopsticks from the staff, put the spoons on the empty dinner plate, and stretched the chopsticks towards Jinyu cabbage.

a mouthful.

Two bites.

Chef Arnold took a spoonful of Jiangshi ginseng soup.

a mouthful.

Two bites.

Like the 4 judges, Chef Arnold ate two bites of each dish.

Then he took two more bites of each of his two courses.

fell silent.

Chef Arnold's silence made Jiang Feng on the field a little confused. Could it be that the quality of the two dishes is so close that no one can judge the winner?

After being silent for about a minute, Chef Arnold finally spoke: "I lost, you win."

The audience was in an uproar.

At this moment, in front of the TV on the other side of the ocean, I don’t know how many die-hard fans of Chef Arnold covered their mouths, hugged their heads and shouted Oh, my god!

"It's hard to tell the winner from the dish, but I lost."

Chef A Nuo looked at Jiang Feng: "You are younger than me, but the dishes you cook are as good as mine. I lost."

The applause sounded like a tide, one after another, lasted for about 40 seconds before gradually stopping.

The applause was not only to congratulate Jiang Feng for winning the game, but also to give Chef Arnold the freedom to lose.

Although the result of this duel of the century was not announced by the judges, the convincing admission of defeat by the opponent seems to be more convincing than the judgment of the four highly respected judges.

The program team prepared a very beautiful and exquisite championship trophy.

Taifenglou won, and Jiang Feng won.

Holding the trophy, Peng Changping walked to the center of the stage, in front of the four people in Taifeng Building, and in front of Jiang Feng.

Wu Minqi, Sun Jikai and Sun Maocai all stepped back slightly in a tacit understanding, leaving this glorious moment to Jiang Feng.

Peng Changping handed out the trophy.

Jiang Feng took it.

Pass and receive.

One old and one young.

Old and new alternate.

It's like the inheritance of an era.
