In this way, Jiang Feng was dragged away from the kitchen by Sun Jikai, and the fire of simmering sea cucumbers was not able to be turned off. After getting in the car, thinking about it, he called Jiang Weisheng and asked him to help turn off the fire.
"Are we going to start the semi-finals in the evening, why are we so anxious to go there?" Jiang Feng asked puzzledly after getting on the train.
"The venue is in the suburbs. It will take more than an hour to take a taxi. If there is a traffic jam on the road, it will take three hours to go back and forth. It is now half past three. We used to prepare and check the venue. If we don’t hurry up to the top restaurant Go ahead, I don't know when it will be delayed, it will take a lot of time." Sun Jikai explained.
Jiang Feng suddenly, he didn't know a lot of information without receiving a call, so he could only ask Sun Jikai first while in the car.
"Did we change venues? In the last test, didn't they say that the venue was used to compare the semi-finals and finals? I think it's a good place. The kitchen is good and the venue is big."
"I also think the place is good, but there seems to be something wrong. I don't know if it is firefighting or failing to pass. Anyway, I have been arguing and dragging like that. This is a new place." Sun Jikai said, sighing "I heard that the semifinal was delayed for more than 20 days before giving us the news. It was not only because of a problem with the venue, but also because of a problem with the visa of a player in the United States, and it took so long to change."
Jiang Feng suddenly became interested. No matter when it was, gossip was always the most interesting: "There is a problem with the visa, what is the problem? Is he doing something illegal?"
"It looks like a drunk driving was caught."
Jiang Feng:?
Do you call this a visa problem? This is a problem with people, alright!
Jiang Feng asked some other questions, and Sun Jikai answered everything he knew and could answer. These days, Jiang Feng is not at all concerned about the game, and he does not even know as much about the things related to the game as the players who have already been eliminated.
Since there was no news in the semifinals, all kinds of gossip and rumors were flying all over the world. Some say that the father of the gold master on the US side withdrew their capital, and some said that Xu Cheng and Han Guishan had offended people and the venue could not be used. Others said that Han Guishan's investment failed and the capital chain was broken and the capital was withdrawn. Since the most failed investment in Han Guishan's history was the porridge shop in the snack street, Jiang Feng felt that the last one must be a rumor.
The two exchanged information all the way like this. When they arrived at the venue soon, Jiang Feng finally remembered that he had always wanted to ask Sun Jikai and forgot to ask after noon.
"By the way, old grandson, I have a question I want to ask you. Do you think the thickening technique of Babao Lixiangge can be used in other dishes?"
"Huh?" Sun Jikai was stunned. He didn't know why the topic suddenly changed from gossip to such a serious culinary discussion.
It was still a culinary discussion that he couldn't answer.
"This..." Sun Jikai thought for a while, "it should be possible."
"Then do you think I used the method of thickening Jiang's ginseng with eight treasure chestnut fragrant pigeons to thicken Jiang's ginseng, can it bring a qualitative change to Jiang's ginseng?" Jiang Feng asked countless people these days about all kinds of weird If you ask more questions and practice more, naturally you will learn more.
He could understand the thickening technique of the eight-treasure chestnut-flavored pigeon in the first place because he saw Cao Guixiang give the roasted black ginseng thicken. Correspondingly, Jiang Feng feels that the thickening technique of Babao Lixiangge is very ingenious. This thickening technique that directly determines the final quality of the dish depends on subtle changes in temperature and sensation. In theory, it should be suitable for Jiang's ginseng soup. .
Of course, to change.
Sun Jikai:?
You are embarrassing me Fat Tiger.
"No, maybe it can." Although Sun Jikai hasn't fully learned the thickening technique of Babao Lixiangge, he suddenly felt that it was quite feasible after Jiang Feng said this.
Although he doesn't know Jiang's participation, but he saw Jiang Feng did it.
"I also think it's okay, so don't leave tomorrow afternoon. Let's discuss it in the kitchen." Jiang Feng patted his thigh.
Sun Jikai looked out the window in despair.
Mother, he can neither thicken nor join Jiang's soup, talk about it!
Before Sun Jikai looked out the window desperately for two minutes, they arrived.
Although the new venue was decided temporarily, it was still in a more remote suburb than the last time, but it was huge.
It's really big.
So big that Jiang Feng felt that if one of their four restaurants set up a cheerleader team, the cheerleading field wouldn't be too crowded after each of the contestants came out during the competition.
Although the venue was temporarily built, the stage, lighting, and all aspects of equipment looked good and professional, giving Jiang Feng a feeling of being in the studio of a TV station.
The cooking table is larger than it was in the last test. There are only four stoves, two sinks, and two ovens. It can be said that it is very luxurious and can be taken directly to the back kitchen of the hotel.
Jiang Feng wanted to pack the oven and take it home. The oven prepared by the program group looked much more high-tech and more expensive than the oven in Taifeng Building.
Sun Jikai and their concerns are justified. Although the competition venue is very large, there are only two preparation rooms. Wu Minqi and Sun Mao have already prepared in the preparation room first. Jiang Feng and Sun Jikai went to the kitchen to check everything. facility.
The two people are like children who have never seen the world, yelling at the series of kitchen utensils prepared by the show crew.
"Wow, Lao Sun's oven is definitely the latest model, I think I may not be very good at it. Is there an instruction manual? Do you have an instruction manual?" Jiang Feng stroked the oven in amazement.
Taifeng Building does not use the oven many times. It is mainly used by Zhang Guanghang. Ji Xia also uses it when making dim sum. The oven is very simple, cheap, affordable and cost-effective, and it pays IQ tax when prepared with the program group. The models are completely different.
Sun Jikai looked for him by the oven for a long time: "No."
Jiang Feng beckoned to a staff member: "Could you please show me the oven manual, I don't seem to know how to use it."
staff member:?
After studying the oven, Jiang Feng and Sun Jikai studied all the stove, vegetable sink, and cutting board. Perhaps it is to highlight the high-end of this show. The cooking stage of the new venue obviously adheres to the principle of choosing only the expensive ones and choosing the right ones. The styles are very fashionable, even the kitchen sink is with Jiang Feng and Sun Jikai on weekdays. See the kitchen sink is different.
This is a shaped sink.
How to put it, the first feeling that such a kitchen table gives people is that the cook should not be a chef on this kitchen table.
It should be a robot.
It should not be vegetables but nutrient solution.
There is no problem with things. Jiang Feng and Sun Jikai spent almost an hour touching the inside and outside of the kitchen counter. They didn’t even let go of the pots and pans. They even tried the pressure cooker. It was very easy to use. .
I even want to buy a set and take it back to Tai Fung Building if I can put it in the back kitchen.
Wu Minqi and Sun Maocai set off half an hour earlier than Jiang Feng and others, and logically they should arrive half an hour earlier. Jiang Feng researched the cooking station for more than an hour, but Wu Minqi and the others did not end the competition. After putting on makeup, they waited for more than 20 minutes before the staff came to inform him and Sun Jikai to go to the preparation room to prepare.
At this rough estimate, one person’s preparation will take about two hours.
The time is a bit horrible.
After entering the preparation room, Jiang Feng found that there were much more staff in the house this time than in previous times. Unlike the previous few times, there are only simple props such as tables and chairs in the house. The camera teacher directly shoots people's faces.
The decoration of the house was very delicate this time. A small round table and a sofa chair were prepared for Jiang Feng. There is a row of cabinets in the distance that the camera should not be able to photograph. There are various drinks and juices on the cabinets. In addition, there are many insignificant but fresh decorations in the house, wallpapers, potted plants, and fake flowers by the windowsill, which make people feel very relaxed when they come in.
"Mr. Jiang Feng, right? I'm sorry to keep you waiting, do it, what would you like to drink? The preparation time may be very long, you can treat it as a small interview. At that time, there will be 16 contestants. We will cut the interview into a short program and broadcast it for about an hour. You can use it as a warm-up before the semi-finals." As soon as Jiang Feng entered, the staff in charge of asking questions greeted him warmly to sit down.
Jiang Feng shook his head and said that he didn't need to drink.
"Then let's start now. I have a lot of questions here. If you feel that some of the questions are not appropriate or the answer is not good, you can just ignore it and just treat it as a normal chat." The staff member smiled and started Up.
"Because of some special reasons, the start of the semi-finals has been delayed for a long time. There is a gap of more than 20 days since the last test. During this time, we learned that many players have made a lot of preparations for the semi-finals. .But your preparation is the most unique among the sixteen contestants. According to our understanding, you shut yourself up at home for half a month, as if you were practicing cooking at home. Can you tell us why? "
Jiang Feng was taken aback. He didn't expect the program team to know the current status of their contestants quite well. The news was very well-informed, and it was obvious that they were well prepared to ask such purposeful questions as soon as they came up.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but straightened up, with a smile on his face, and slightly polished and revised the previous remarks that fooled the old man and the third grandfather, and said it very smoothly.
It is well-founded and convincing.
"It sounds like a good pre-match preparation tactic. You can take the liberty to ask, has the fifteen days greatly improved your cooking skills? Is there any obvious improvement in mood?" the staff then asked.
"No." Jiang Feng said.
staff member:?
"No?" The staff thought they were listening.
Jiang Feng nodded: "Yes, not at all. I wasted fifteen days to explore a completely wrong path."
The staff appeared very short-lived, and her good professionalism made her react quickly and asked the next question: "So you actually delayed the precious 15 days of pre-match preparation, then you think that other players have done it. In the case of very effective training, will these fifteen days of waste directly lead to your loss in the semifinals."
Jiang Feng shook his head: "I think it's okay for me to enter the finals."
The staff smiled and continued to ask the next question.
Every question of the staff is related, and all the links are connected together. Even if Jiang Feng chooses not to skip over a few questions, the next question can be linked to the previous question. It can be seen that this is a very sincere little interview.
Two hours passed quickly. With the staff asking the last question, the two-hour interview ended.
Just when Jiang Feng was about to get up and leave, he finally remembered what question he wanted to ask at the beginning.
After answering the question for two hours, his mind is a little dizzy now.
"By the way, you haven't said when the semi-final is set? Now the venue has been set, hasn't the time of the semi-final been set yet?" Jiang Feng asked.
"The exact time has not been determined, but it must be in the near future. The eight players from the United States will arrive in Peking tomorrow. They will definitely face some problems such as inaccuracy and jet lag. After they adjust their state, we will The time for the semi-finals can be determined." The staff explained.
Jiang Feng nodded his head to express understanding, and left the house, not allowing him to take a bottle of water before leaving.
After talking for two hours, he died of thirst.
No wonder the staff asked him what he wanted to drink as soon as he entered.
Just as Jiang Feng was walking outside and gulping in water, Chef Arnold walked towards him obviously to go to the preparation room.
After more than 20 days of absence, Chef Arnold looks stronger.
The two got closer.
Chef Arnold slowed down and his eyes began to change.
Jiang Feng also slowed down and drank the water in the bottle and pinched it in his hand.
Passing by.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng stopped.
Chef Arnold also stopped, even a little smug on his face I knew he had something to say to me when it was full.
"Chef Arnold, I have a question for you." Jiang Feng turned his head.
Chef Arnold raised his head triumphantly, looking down at Jiang Feng, looking both triumphant and contemptuous.
"Although I didn't eat your beef tower in the last test, I still have a few questions to ask you. How do you control the thickness when you slice beef? Is the thinner the better or there is a limit? Is the best thickness of beef with different degrees of maturity different? I have been thinking about this issue these days. If the taste can directly affect the level of taste, the knife can play a decisive role. But the chef around me I don’t have much experience in this area. I think this should be related, because I remember that when you make a beef tower, the way you cut each piece of beef is actually different."
In the last test, Jiang Feng was too busy, so he basically watched others cooking.
Chef Arnold:?
Sun Jikai, who came out a few minutes earlier than Jiang Feng, has been waiting for him at the door:...
Sun Jikai has already begun to think if Chef Arnold and Jiang Feng fight in the next second, should he rush to the fight first or call Wu Minqi and Sun Maocai to come and then rush to fight.
Chef Arnold's expression was obviously dull for a few seconds, and soon the dullness turned into doubt.
He stared at Jiang Feng.
Stared at Jiang Feng for half a minute.
"The optimal thickness of meat of different maturity is of course different, and different parts are different. To be precise, each piece of meat is different, and there is simply no way to find the best point. How can the meat be thinner? Swordsmanship is one of the most important skills. Didn’t Peng Changping even teach you this?
Sun Jikai:? ? ?
