On the final day of setting up the stall, Jiang Feng was quite at ease.
At Orange Isle’s southern tip, a large crowd gathered again.
Many people love to join in the buzz.
Like Wang Po’s special show, Tianshui Spicy Hotpot, Zibo Barbecue, and so on.
As long as there’s excitent, many people will show up.
Of course, there were also many of Jiang Feng’s fans.
This ti he had prepared a lot of ingredients, nearly enough to serve five hundred people.
This was already the limit.
Many people would take photos with Jiang Feng in front of the food truck.
The scene was as bustling as ever until all the batter and dough were used up, then Jiang Feng waved goodbye to everyone.
Jiang Feng directly sold the tricycle.
It was just an ordinary tricycle, nothing special, and he wouldn’t need it anymore, so it was ti to sell it.
The rented courtyard was also tidied up.
Taking advantage of this downti, Jiang Feng chatted with the directorial team of "Chinese Restaurant" about the show.
After learning more, Jiang Feng beca increasingly interested in this program.
For instance, this season’s Chinese Restaurant was going to be fild in Taormina, Italy.
This town is built on a cliff, overlooking the sea, with an ancient Greek amphitheater in its midst, full of Italian charm.
The scenery here is very unique. Movies like "Aquaman" and "Malèna" were fild here.
Before this, the town had never had any Chinese restaurant.
That is to say, the people here had never tasted Chinese food.
The content of the show was quite straightforward.
One top chef and four or five celebrities ford the restaurant staff, set the nu, find ingredients, and then serve the guests who co to dine.
The restaurant’s production team had already completely renovated the place, refreshing both the kitchen and dining hall, with a particularly beautiful view.
Taormina, Italy has never had a Chinese restaurant. Going abroad to promote Chinese culinary culture, then making a show out of it. Sounds pretty good.
Jiang Feng hadn’t been interested in variety shows before.
But after delving into it, he found it genuinely appealing.
The most crucial point was that this model would indeed produce much better results than his live streaming.
He had considered opening a Chinese restaurant abroad before, but back then, he was still thinking about setting up a street stall.
Now, with the program team’s communication and coordination and a team of dozens of people, not to ntion the investnt of tens of millions from advertisers, it was much stronger than him going abroad alone.
At the sa ti, the production team really needed a skilled and versatile head chef.
After all, not many celebrities can cook.
Jiang Feng agreed to take on this task.
He didn’t need to do anything before the official start of the show’s filming.
That is, in little more than ten days, once the official filming started, he would just need to arrive at the designated place, board the production team’s plane, and fly together to Italy.
Everything was well arranged.
No wonder everyone wants to be a celebrity; the perks are indeed great, everything is worry-free. A team of dozens of people specifically serving them must have arranged everything thoroughly. Jiang Feng reflected inwardly.
Thinking about opening a Chinese restaurant abroad, Jiang Feng felt excited.
Especially since he could no longer run his food truck.
"Executive Chef Jiang, on behalf of the ’Chinese Restaurant’ production team, I welco you to join us."
After the contract was signed, the director shook hands with Jiang Feng solemnly.
Jiang Feng could be said to be the most crucial person for this show.
Put it this way: celebrities are replaceable. If one doesn’t work out, they can just switch to another one.
A head chef truly can’t be replaced.
Because a real deal chef who knows everything and is willing to join the show is hard to find.
Jiang Feng hadn’t realized the role he would play in the Chinese Restaurant yet.
His plan was to cook the food well and manage the Chinese Restaurant properly.
Regardless, opening a Chinese Restaurant abroad ant he had to bring his A-ga.
In Jiang Feng’s mind, when it cos to cuisine, China was the undisputed number one.
With the contract signed, Jiang Feng’s pay was two million, for 21 days of shooting.
He wasn’t quite sure how much the others would get, but for him, this amount was already quite good.
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but reflect on the speed at which money was made in this business.
After finalizing the arrangents, Jiang Feng began to handle his dostic affairs.
If he wanted to open a restaurant in Changsha, he needed to find a suitable Hunan cuisine chef.
He also needed to look for an available restaurant for sale.
There was no rush if he hadn’t found the right place yet, because he didn’t have enough cash to buy a restaurant outright; he would take his ti looking.
Occasionally, he would go back for a while to take care of the cats and dogs.
The system rewards had already been distributed.
[Task completed, reward: Golden Groin Guard]
[Random traditional craft reward obtained: Anhui Ink recipe]
[Anhui Ink Recipe: Master the ability to grind Anhui ink.]
The reward for mastering a traditional craft is Anhui Ink.
After all, this craft is an intangible cultural heritage, and it’s not bad to have mastered it.
If I have ti later, I’ll shoot so videos about making Anhui Ink myself. It would be good to pass down the craft.
Perhaps because Jiang Feng decided to go abroad to promote Chinese cuisine, the system also issued a new mission.
That night, the system’s voice rang out again:
[Mission Initiated: Cook consecutively for seven days at any location, satisfying 100 custors each day]
[Mission Reward: English Proficiency, Italian Proficiency]
This reward was just what Jiang Feng needed.
His English was at a level where he passed the CET-6, capable of simple communication, but not yet fluent.
The thod to complete the mission was simple.
Just cook at his own restaurant.
After all, as the boss, finding a dedicated stove and cooking a hundred dishes every day was very simple.
Jiang Feng chose the Shandong Cuisine Restaurant for the task.
He decided to make Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet.
Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet was one of his own favorite dishes.
The taste ca out really good, and it was very compatible with rice.
The Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet at the Shandong Cuisine Restaurant was already a very popular dish, with many people ordering it.
So regulars unexpectedly found that today’s Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet was even more delicious.
The texture and taste were even better.
"Hmm? How co it tastes even better?"
"Who is the chef for the Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet today? I didn’t see when I ca in earlier," the custors exclaid.
The chef’s column didn’t display Jiang Feng’s na.
This was also Jiang Feng’s request.
He wanted to keep a low profile this week.
After all, the business at the Shandong Cuisine Restaurant was very good, and there was no shortage of custors.
The numbers for the line up were full every day.
"Why do I feel that today’s Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet is a bit different? Could it be that Boss Jiang is back?"
A middle-aged man, while eating the Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet, called the waiter over to inquire.
The waiter was not aware of this matter, and even if he was, he wouldn’t say.
He could only reply, "I really don’t know about that. How could we know what our boss is doing?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, "Your Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet is indeed a signature dish, and today it seems to have been cooked better. The flavor is also improved."
Only a few could discern the difference in taste. Most people simply thought the Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet was very delicious.
Especially so tourists from other places who ca specifically to Jiangyue Terrace Shandong Cuisine Restaurant to eat, and were amazed after tasting the Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet.
They didn’t realize that, unwittingly, they had also experienced the delicacies personally cooked by Jiang Feng.
It went on like this all week.
Jiang Feng was quietly cooking in the kitchen of the Shandong Cuisine Restaurant.
The dishes he made were limited-ti cobacks.
So people had inside information that Jiang Feng was back, and they made sure to order the dishes he made every day.
The popularity was still undeniable.
After this busy week, Jiang Feng gained the system’s reward skills and started to prepare for the "Chinese Restaurant" show.
Going abroad, Jiang Feng was quite looking forward to it.
The program team said he could bring three suitcases and was allowed to bring his own ingredients.
Since he would be cooking abroad, where many ingredients might be hard to find, they let Jiang Feng choose what to bring.
Jiang Feng began to plan accordingly.
Common vegetables and seasonings should be available abroad, but mushrooms, hot peppers, and the like, which may taste different in different regions, needed to be brought with him.
He also brought so special seasonings with him.
He took this program very seriously.
In fact, for Jiang Feng, it felt less like a show and more like he was going to open a Chinese restaurant abroad and be the executive chef there.
Of course, he had to be well-prepared.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the program team invited him.
The celebrities would take care of the entertainnt part, and Jiang Feng would handle the formal part.
Gathered together, maybe they would create many wonderful chemical reactions.
With all the hustle and bustle, the recording of the show was about to start.
That day, Jiang Feng got into the car with his suitcases, heading to the designated eting place.
Once he arrived, the program team would arrange everything.
Arriving at the Italian town would also mark the official start of life for the overseas Chinese Restaurant.
The thought was quite exciting.
