Chapter 148 "Going into a Five-Star Hotel"
According to the normal business raising and price negotiation rules, Zhang Dadong's store negotiation issues will not be possible without ten days or half a month.
Coupled with the sudden "great event" that his wife exposed, she felt a little uncertain in her life.
What kind of decision should Zhang Dadong make? Should he insist on his own or make it bigger, or reconsider his decision for the sake of the baby that is about to be born, this matter is worth his careful consideration.
Xie Qingfeng didn't know what happened to Zhang Dadong. He is now devoted to the competition.
It is not impossible to win the million-dollar prize for the championship and open a restaurant with the popularity of the championship. Under the influence of the group effect of psychology, it is not impossible to become a powerful internet celebrity store.
If you don’t win the championship, even if you just win one runner-up and third place, it will definitely be another result.
Although the first and second are only a little bit different, the market influence it actually brings is always two completely different worlds, and the first is the rising star.
June 10th!
This day is the first event of the top ten in the country. After today's team game, the top 10 may become the top 8, and there may be only the top 6 left.
The higher the energy, the more you go, the more you play, the rest time of the players dropped significantly.
This is the rhythm of the event of "Top Chef"!
At night, I was pulled by my cousin. I called from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and only "yes, yes, yes," I left behind. I didn't understand why women could chat so much. Xie Qingfeng, who was tortured, was called out by three judges early in the morning.
Without saying anything, I just said one sentence, and I went downstairs within 10 minutes to take the bus to the team competition venue.
Get up at 3:30, it's a waste of time!
Xie Qingfeng, who was tortured by his cousin until nearly 12 o'clock, got up in a daze and got dressed. He then squinted his eyes and went downstairs to get into the minibus that he picked up, got in the bus and climbed into the seat and then took a nap.
The early morning is the best time to sleep, and it is also the time when the human body is the most tired. The other players are in similar condition, like eggplant caused by frost.
With such a confused operation, the players arrived at the competition venue.
However, the moment when they got off the car, all the contestants' eyes widened, their heartbeats couldn't help but pound, and all their fatigue and sleepiness disappeared.
Because they saw a few big words on their heads - Peace Hotel!
This hotel has a very special status in Shanghai. It has a history of more than 150 years since its birth. It is a landmark building in Shanghai City and is also the first modern building in the history of modern architecture.
Once, Mr. Jiang and Miss Song held a huge engagement ceremony here.
The North Building, which was built in 1929, cost 2.4 million taels of silver that year.
US President Ke and Mrs. Xi are here to accept a banquet.
The founding president, the prime minister and other great political figures, Hua Luogeng, Chaplin, Zhou Shuren and other industry leaders also spent time here to rest and meet guests.
Xie Qingfeng and others are just ordinary folk chefs. Facing this top hotel that is far more than five-star and is already a legendary one, all the way through the scene is full of magnificent and luxurious and solemn atmosphere.
All I could do was to have a thumping excitement in my heart, and I could not care about sleepiness and fatigue.
In this extremely excited mood, Xie Qingfeng and other contestants followed three food judges, among which Liu Yifan was the executive chef here, and walked through the lobby to take the elevator to the locker room.
The first thing to do is to wear a white chef's uniform, bring the chef's white high hat and white kitchen towel.
This is the first time that the contestants have been dressed so professionally and formally since they participated in the competition. They feel like they were wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year when they were young, and they are in a state of excitement.
Even at this moment, the contestants still didn't know what they were going to do when they were called out by three judges from their sleep, and then they were all pulled to this place by a car.
Even if someone thinks about cooking, they just think about being a chef or something. They never think about their skills, which can dominate breakfast in a super five-star hotel.
All the players still have a little bit of money when they have a lot of weight.
After the formal kitchen dressing, the contestants gathered in the corner of the spacious breakfast room, where a small event layout was temporarily arranged.
"Everyone, it's 4 a.m. You are not dreaming, nor are you sleepwalking. This is the Peace Hotel, one of the best five-star hotels in Shanghai, and it is also the competition site for the top chefs." Liu Yifan's opening remark was relatively clear, and he even saved the daily advertising and newspaper reading.
The next person to speak was Cao Kefan: "Today's competition is, how to become a top hotel breakfast chef."
Chef? Not a chef?
As soon as the final answer came out, all the contestants felt a little confused, and the excitement in their hearts was also replaced by heavy pressure.
The breakfast in a five-star hotel is not like the soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns outside.
The guests who can live here must be those who are used to eating all kinds of top-notch delicacies. It is inevitable that they can hold their mouths. Every contestant is unsure whether their group of folk chefs can complete the challenge in the end.
“I have a breakfast order of 20 rooms.”
Zhou Huajian raised his red and blue sign with his left and right hands and continued: "You not only need to complete these designated breakfast orders, but also need to serve 55 guests who came to the restaurant to eat within three hours. We have customized a new menu for you with nine dishes, which are..."
Zhou Huajian opened the table in front and covered the food with stainless steel vegetables, saying one by one: "Bacon cheese egg roll, fresh meat wontons, sesame dumplings, mushroom vegetable buns, tofu flower, rice noodles, honey cream pancakes, shredded pork noodles in snow vegetable, and the last poached egg."
When hearing these breakfast dishes that sounded expensive, the contestants' expressions became more and more serious and the pressure became heavier.
Of course, some contestants laughed secretly, feeling that their advantages had come.
This player is Yang Wei!
He once worked as a chef in a top restaurant for one year and was very familiar with the restaurant and hotel model. He was also the only player with experience in this area among the ten contestants present, and had unique advantages.
If the last game was Xie Qingfeng's home court, then this game was Yang Wei's stage.
Among the other players who have not performed well before, there are also some who are best at making breakfast, and they are full of confidence in this team challenge.
Chapter completed!
