Chinese chef

52 This is impossible!

"Wait, it's impossible!" Zou Chengming said emotionally with his eyes wide open.

Then, he rushed forward, picked up a spoon, scooped up a fish ball made by Mu Feng, and put it in his mouth.

With a light bite, the fish balls are full of elasticity and taste...

how can that be?

Zou Chengming was stunned for a moment, wanting to get mad, but he didn't know how to get mad.

Even though he was upset, the fish balls made by Mu Feng were indeed better than his.

His hands clenched into fists, then loosened, then clenched and loosened again.

At this moment, he was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to react.

Fei Qixu watched from the side, also a little confused.

To be honest, he never expected the result of the game to be like this.

The outcome was so obvious, fifteen to zero.

Fei Qixu thought to himself, should he buy a lottery ticket? Once such a disparity in the results of the game is broadcast, it will definitely arouse heated discussions among the audience.

The ratings for this issue must have exploded!

Although Zou Chengming was a little out of control, the show had to go on.

Fei Qixu ended the program with satisfaction.

Originally, there should be a short period of guest interviews later, but in order not to irritate Zou Chengming, Fei Qixu removed this link.

Anyway, with this competition, it doesn't matter whether the interview is done or not.

After the show ended, almost all the female audience members ran to find Mu Feng to sign.

And Zou Chengming is like a rooster who has lost the fight, being forgotten in the corner.

"Brother Fei, is this episode really going to be broadcast?" A staff member stepped forward and asked Fei Qixu.

"Of course, why do you ask that?" Fei Qixu looked at him suspiciously.

"However, Zou Chengming also represents Fuxing Restaurant. It's okay to win, but now he lost so badly. What if it is broadcast and offends Fuxing Restaurant?" the staff member said.

"No matter how good Fuxing Restaurant is, he can't control the affairs of our TV station. Besides, Zou Chengming himself agreed to this competition, and it has nothing to do with us." Fei Qixu looked at Zou Chengming with some amusement, and said to the staff beside him , "Look, Zou Chengming has to thank me later."

"Thank you?" The staff member was taken aback after hearing this, and looked at Fei Qixu with some puzzlement.

At this moment, Zou Chengming, who regained his composure, walked over.

"Brother Fei, can I ask you for a favor?" Zou Chengming smiled awkwardly and said.

"Chu Zou, if you have anything to say, just say it, and we don't say such unreasonable things between us." Fei Qixu said with a smile, and then, after a pause, he said with some embarrassment, "However, Chu Chu, this show will definitely It is to be broadcast, this is the regulation of the TV station, and there is nothing I can do about it.”

"Of course I know that." Zou Chengming smiled unnaturally, "I mean, when editing, can you..."

Before he finished speaking, Fei Qixu had already spoken: "Chef Zou, I understand what you mean, don't worry, we will let the editing colleagues try to reduce your shots as much as possible. As for the last scene where you try the fish balls, We will also cut it to minimize the negative impact on you."

"So, thank you so much!" Zou Chengming said excitedly, "If you go to Fuxing for dinner in the future, you must tell me, and I will cook for you personally."

If Zou Chengming's words were placed before the competition, the portion would be unusual, because Fuxing Restaurant is so famous that not every guest who goes to eat can eat the dishes prepared by their super chefs.

However, after losing the game now, it would be unavoidably dull for him to say this again.

He himself knew that he was powerless to say anything at this time, and after chatting for a few words, he left quickly.

"Master, what does Brother Fei say, will you try to cut out your shots?" Ning Haidong asked.

"Let's go!" Zou Chengming walked straight out of the studio without looking at him.

Ning Haidong had no choice but to catch up quickly.

After leaving the gate of the TV station, Zou Chengming took a deep breath. Although he greeted Fei Qixu, he knew in his heart that this was only a remedy after a late disaster.

It is impossible for Fei Qixu to delete all his scenes anyway, at least he can be sure that it is absolutely impossible to delete the introduction of the background of the two parties at the very beginning of the program.

If it is deleted, it would be better to re-record the new program.

He can be sure that as soon as this program is broadcast, the news of his fiasco will definitely spread.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be unavoidable to be gossiped by the gang in the back kitchen.

Damn, it's actually Zhonghua Building, it's actually Mufeng!

Hey!

He doesn't know whether to cry or laugh now.

In the eyes of the public, losing to the chef of Zhonghua Building, he can still save some face.

However, if Pan Deming finds out...

Zou Chengming took a deep breath, feeling that his heart was about to explode.

in the studio.

After the audience got Mu Feng's signature, they left one after another.

"Mufeng, okay! I was sweating for you just now! I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and you beat Zou Chengming to the ground. Hahaha, it feels good to watch it. If you don't teach him a lesson, he really thinks that you are the best!" It seems invincible." Liu Jiayi said with a smile.

"Cough, Jiayi, be careful what you say." Fei Qixu walked over and looked at Liu Jiayi helplessly.

Liu Jiayi had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really wrong to talk about people behind their backs, forget it, anyway, that guy has already been beaten up by Mu Feng, so it's meaningless to say it.

"Mu Feng, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, I really admire you!" Fei Qixu said.

Mu Feng smiled and nodded subtly.

To be honest, he didn't hate old foxes like Fei Qixu, but he didn't like them either, so he simply responded politely.

Fei Qixu said a few innocuous words to Mu Feng, left contact information with Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng by the way, and left the studio.

"Sister Jiayi, do you want to go to Su Ji? I'll cook some dishes for you." Mu Feng said.

"So good?" Liu Jiayi said with a smile, "There is no need to treat guests, but I am still looking forward to having a meal at your place. You are only open at night every day now. It is not easy to go to your place to have a meal." , it’s too difficult to line up.”

"Then let's go!" Mu Feng said with a smile, took out his mobile phone to check the time, "It's past now, and there is no one there."

"Now?" Liu Jiayi said helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't do it now. I have to hurry up and talk about the program editing. Next time, next time I'll go over and tell you in advance."

"Well, you are welcome to come anytime." Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Then I'll see you off!" After Liu Jiayi finished speaking, the three of them walked out of the studio together.

On the way back to Suji, Shi Nancheng said while driving: "It was supposed to promote Suji, but unexpectedly Fei Qixu, an old fox, was replaced by Zhonghualou. It's really..."

He shook his head, looking a little helpless.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same anyway, I also get paid in Zhonghua Building! Besides, I'm still the major shareholder of the delivery department!" Mu Feng joked.

"Well, big shareholder, you really made me angry today!" Shi Nancheng said happily after heaving a sigh of relief.

"Based on the grievances between Zhonghualou and Fuxing Restaurant, I'm afraid Zou Chengming will have a hard time going back." Mu Feng said.

"Probably not. I understand Pan Deming. Although I really hate him, I have to say that this guy has a lot of guts, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recruit so many chefs to work under his command. He definitely wouldn't do it because of this matter." Just angry. However, those people under him are hard to say." Shi Nancheng said.

"Since he has the guts, why does he have trouble with Zhonghualou?" Mu Feng frowned, very puzzled.

"I didn't understand it at first, but later I figured it out. To put it bluntly, he just has a guilty conscience." Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

"Guilty?" Mu Feng was puzzled.

"When my dad had an accident, only a year later, he left with a large number of backbones from Zhonghua Building. You know, when my dad was around, he was my dad's brother and brother.

His behavior back then was tantamount to adding insult to injury, and he himself must have felt very disgraceful, so he has always been worried about it.

And the more famous Zhonghualou is, the more he can remind him of this matter, even if others don't tell him, he still can't bear it.

That's why he kept pressing down on Zhonghualou.Fortunately, he is not yet mad enough to use those indiscriminate means to deal with Zhonghua Building, otherwise Zhonghua Building would not be open today.

With his current status, to be honest, if I want to play dirty, I really can't play him well.He knows a lot of people, as long as those who directly govern us come to visit every now and then, the Zhonghua Building will not be open.

Fortunately, this guy still has a little bit of conscience, so he won't kill them all.

Even so though, I still hate him so much, so much!One day, I will definitely bring Zhonghua Lou back to the top and crush him hard.

At that time, I will not deal with him, I will shame him, let him look at Zhonghua Building every day, and think of the disgraceful things he has done every day.The best thing is that I can't sleep every day thinking about it, and my hair will fall out when I wake up in the morning.Hahaha~" Shi Nancheng laughed happily as he spoke.

Mu Feng was amused by Shi Nancheng's words: "It's hard to lose your hair in middle age, your idea is very dangerous! Ha~"

----

Zou Chengming hardly knew how he returned to Fuxing Restaurant.

When he stood at the gate of Fuxing Restaurant, he was still in a daze.

"Master, let's go in!" Ning Haidong asked, seeing Zou Chengming's distraught look.

"You go back to the kitchen first! I...I have to talk to Pan Chu." Zou Chengming waved his hand.

"Okay, master, I'll go in first." Ning Haidong nodded, and walked towards the gate of Fuxing Restaurant after speaking.

However, before he could walk a few steps away, Zou Chengming's voice came from behind him.

"Haidong." Zou Chengming called softly.

Ning Haidong stopped, turned around and looked at Zou Chengming: "What's wrong, Master?"

"...It's okay, you go in first!" Zou Chengming waved his hand.

He originally wanted to ask Ning Haidong not to tell what happened on the TV station today.

However, after thinking about it, he gave up. Even if he didn't talk about it today, when the show aired in a few days, the news would naturally spread.

Ning Haidong looked at his master suspiciously, then scratched the back of his head, and walked into Fuxing Restaurant.

Zou Chengming adjusted his mood outside the gate and went straight to Pan Deming's office.

Arriving at the door of Pan Deming's office, Zou Chengming reached out to knock on the door, but hesitated unconsciously.

He stretched out his hand several times but never knocked on the door.

Just when he finally mustered up the courage to reach out and knock on the door again, Pan Deming's voice came from behind him.

"Old Zou." Pan Deming called out.

Zou Chengming turned his head abruptly, and saw Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe standing side by side behind him.

His eyebrows twitched instantly, and his mood became tense in vain.

"Old Zou, what do you need from me?" Pan Deming said with a smile, "Go in and talk."

Zou Chengming smiled awkwardly, nodded, and walked into the office with Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe.

"By the way, Lao Zou, didn't you go to the TV station today? Did it go well?" Pan Deming asked.

Hearing Pan Deming's words, Zou Chengming frowned, wanted to speak but couldn't.

Pan Deming knew something was wrong when he saw his expression.

"What? What happened?" Pan Deming asked, frowning.

"...Today I..." Zou Chengming took a deep breath and said, "I competed with others on the show today and lost."

"Losing?" Pan Deming was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and after a pause, he smiled, "What did I think? Hehe, didn't it mean that the game was lost? What's the matter, there are so many good cooks in the world Now, there's no need to be so downcast."

"I lost a complete defeat, fifteen to zero." Zou Chengming said in a low voice.

"How much?" Pan Deming was taken aback, then blinked, "What dishes did you compare?"

"Fish balls." Zou Chengming replied.

"Aren't you the best fish ball?" Before Pan Deming could speak, Yan Shenghe spoke first, "Fish ball will also lose fifteen to zero? What is the opponent's background? So good?"

Zou Chengming was afraid to look at Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe, smacked his lips, and said, "Mu Feng."

"Mu Feng?" Pan Deming frowned after hearing this, and turned to ask Yan Shenghe, "Have you heard of this name?"

Yan Shenghe thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, this is the best fish ball maker. In addition to Lao Zou, Fengze is Xu Yangjiang from Dingshanji, and Mo Yuejing from Fuhuilou. I've never heard of it. There is one named Mu."

He turned his head and asked Zou Chengming: "Isn't this "Fengze Special" only inviting local guests from Fengze? Why, they also invited chefs from other places this time?"

"No, he's a local, that's, that's..." Zou Chengming's face was almost wrinkled, his tongue was almost tied, and he looked at Yan Shenghe and said, "Didn't you drive away a kid a few months ago?" Is that kid called Mu Feng, do you remember?"

"It's him?!" Yan Shenghe's expression froze for a moment, and after a long pause, he asked with an expression of disbelief, "Are you sure it's him?"

"It was him. When that incident happened, I was also in the back kitchen. I could see him clearly. I recognized him." Zou Chengming sighed and nodded.

"Old Yan, who are you talking about?" Pan Deming was a little confused.

He has to manage the entire restaurant on weekdays, and he doesn't often stay in the back kitchen. For the back kitchen, he basically only focuses on quality control, new dishes and other general matters. Other small things are handled by Yan Shenghe. in tube.

Therefore, after listening to the conversation between Yan Shenghe and Zou Chengming, he felt at a loss for a while.

"A few months ago, there was a boy named Mu Feng who suddenly said that he wanted to cook at the stove. He had only been here for half a year, but he was just a junior chef. That kid left immediately." Yan Shenghe said, and then looked at Zou Chengming, "Are you sure it's him?"

Zou Chengming nodded heavily, his face full of helplessness.

"That's weird, it's impossible! I have eaten his dishes back then, and they were really good, but it's impossible to say that he is better at making fish balls than you!" Yan Shenghe said.

"It's not completely impossible." Pan Deming said suddenly.

Yan Shenghe looked at him suspiciously.

"To make fish balls delicious, there are only two points, knife skill and seasoning. Moreover, this knife skill does not need that kind of special knife skill. In the final analysis, it is enough to work hard when chopping the stuffing. The main thing is It’s still seasoning, but it’s not difficult to learn this seasoning if someone teaches it. With the recipe, a layman can make good fish balls with a lot of practice, not to mention that he himself is a chef.” Pan Deming said slowly.

"That's true." Yan Shenghe nodded.

"Okay, it's okay, if you lose, you lose. Is it possible that the audience will not come to Fuxing for dinner because you lost a game on the show?" Pan Deming said with a smile.

"One more thing." Zou Chengming looked at Pan Deming with some embarrassment.

"What else?" Pan Deming frowned and looked at him.

"Mu Feng is from Zhonghualou." Zou Chengming gritted his teeth and said very fast.

"What?!" Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe were taken aback at the same time.

"Zhonghua Building? In other words, you lost to Zhonghua Building?" Yan Shenghe asked again in disbelief.

Zou Chengming nodded in embarrassment.

silence.

Dead silence.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zou Chengming didn't know how long it had passed. He didn't dare to look at the time, and kept rubbing his hands on his trouser legs. He felt that the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, as if even the air became thinner.

Finally, just when he was almost out of breath, Pan Deming spoke.

"Is there nothing else?" Pan Deming asked softly.

Zou Chengming was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go back to the back kitchen first! It's okay, don't think too much, isn't it just a loss in a game? It's the same whether it's Zhonghualou or not. It doesn't have much impact on our lucky stars." Pan Deming smiled. He spoke in a very kind tone.

"Chef Pan, Chef Yan, then I'll go back to the kitchen first." Zou Chengming said cautiously.

"Okay, let's go!" Pan Deming said with a smile.

Zou Chengming immediately went back to the back kitchen as if he had received an amnesty.

After Zou Chengming left, the office became quiet again.

Pan Deming tapped lightly on the table, looked at Yan Shenghe and asked, "Is there anything unusual in Zhonghua Building recently?"

"It's nothing unusual. Basically, all the super chefs we know have already said hello. Shi Nancheng couldn't recruit a super chef." Yan Shenghe said.

"This Mu Feng is a bit strange. You should send someone to inquire and find out where he came from. I think there must be a master behind him. Find out where he learned his cooking skills." Pan Deming said.

"Okay, then I'll go now." Yan Shenghe replied.

Pan Deming nodded.

After Yan Shenghe left, Pan Deming sat alone in the office, muttering the words "Zhonghua Building" softly.

At the same time, his thoughts once again unstoppably recalled the scene when he led a large group of people to leave the Zhonghua Building...
