Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall.

Jiang Feng took a car to the meeting point.

Soon, the regular guests of this issue of "Chinese Restaurant" arrived one after another.

Jiang Feng had known the list of participants before, so he was not surprised when he saw it.

Everyone was very polite.

There are four celebrity guests participating in the recording of "Chinese Restaurant" this time, namely: Huang Xiaoming, Yang Zi, Wang Junkai, and Zhao Liying.

Plus Jiang Feng, there were five people in total.

In addition to the first issue, there will also be flying guests in each subsequent issue, that is, there will be other celebrities joining the management of the Chinese restaurant.

After Jiang Feng met everyone, he first got to know each other.

After all, the four people on the other side are all from the entertainment industry and know each other. They are acquaintances.

Jiang Feng met everyone for the first time and was a little unfamiliar at first.

However, Jiang Feng has a good attitude and is sincere. After chatting with everyone for a while, he blended in naturally.

"I've seen your video of making hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix. It's super good. After watching it, I wanted to eat it so much that I even invited someone over to make a meal."

Zhao Liying looked at Jiang Feng and said with admiration.

Zhao Liying liked watching Jiang Feng’s videos before. After all, food is the most important thing for people, and celebrities also love to eat delicious food. Jiang Feng’s delicious food ranges from down-to-earth food stalls to high-end state banquet dishes. People who like him can be found at all levels. .

"That dish is indeed a very unique palace dish, very cleverly designed."

Jiang Feng replied generously.

Through the first chat, several people found that they got along very well.

Everyone is more sincere.

This is actually the most important thing. If the people invited do not know each other, do not talk to each other during the show, and the atmosphere is not good, it will be difficult to get along with each other.

Huang Xiaoming prefers to play the role of the boss, but in person he is very nice, enthusiastic and likes to be the big brother, so everyone else is left to his own devices.

Yang Zi and Wang Junkai are siblings who are at odds with each other. They have a relatively good relationship. They are always laughing and joking, bringing a lot of jokes to the show.

So far, so good.

Soon, several people took a plane and flew directly to Italy.

When you arrive in Italy, you still need to change trains to reach Taormina.

The plane took off from Kyoto, and when we arrived in Taormina, the show officially started.

When a group of people are moving, many photographers following them will carry cameras to record their every move.

Everyone got out of the car.

Everyone looked at everything around them curiously.

This is where they will live for a month.

Jiang Feng looked into the distance and saw only a small town built on the mountainside, full of exotic customs.

The chief director looked at a few people and said:

"Everyone, welcome to Sicily."

"Next, you will open a Chinese restaurant here to promote Chinese food culture."

"Now, you are going to Taormina's town hall."

"The mayor will meet you there."

The five people listened carefully to the chief director's arrangements. At this time, no one knew what would happen.

After all, the scripts were prepared by the directors and planners, and they put a lot of effort behind this show.

Everyone has a good attitude.

From this point, it can be seen that this issue of "Chinese Restaurant" will definitely be different from the past.

Every guest has a serious attitude, which makes them look good.

If things are done perfunctorily, it will be awkward to get along with them.

The luggage of the five people was left on the bus, and then they got into a seven-seater nanny car and drove all the way towards the city hall.

Perhaps because they were a little tired from the journey, few of them spoke.

Occasionally, Huang Xiaoming will sigh with emotion about the environment outside.

In this season of "Chinese Restaurant", Huang Xiaoming is the store manager. It can be seen that he is under a lot of pressure and is not so relaxed.

Others are more relaxed.

In the car, Zhao Liying fell asleep directly, extremely relaxed.

Yang Zi and Wang Junkai were watching videos on the sidelines, occasionally sharing interesting videos and laughing together.

Jiang Feng closed his eyes silently and rested.

Jiang Feng is very clear about his role. He never likes to steal the limelight and is always very low-key. He only wants to do a good job in cooking. In terms of cooking, he must be the best.

Soon, the group arrived at the city hall.

They were a little reserved when they entered the hall.

After all, it was somewhat solemn for the mayor of Taormina to personally receive and assign tasks.

Several people walked all the way inside.

Huang Xiaoming was at the front, followed by Wang Junkai, then Zhao Liying and Yang Zi, and Jiang Feng walked at the back.

The mayor is a white-haired old man wearing a suit and looks very kind.

Several people came forward to shake hands with the mayor one by one, and then all said hello in English: "Nice to meet you."

After the handshake ended, several people took their seats.

Jiang Feng felt that this experience was quite interesting.

Before that, he still set up stalls and opened restaurants in various places in the country.

Now he opens a Chinese restaurant in Sicily, Italy, and is received by the mayor here.

This is due to the traffic, reputation and popularity he has accumulated.

Jiang Feng didn't care about network traffic before, after all, he was doing business in a physical way.

But now, this traffic has brought him to a bigger stage.

The program team prepared a meeting gift for the mayor, a gift box filled with exquisite porcelain from China.

Reciprocity is also in line with the tradition of the Chinese people.

After a few people took their seats, the mayor began to speak, and the translator on the side translated the mayor's words:
"Hello, partners of "Chinese Restaurant", welcome to this small but famous city, Taormina."

"Please note that the "Chinese Restaurant" you are going to open is the first Chinese restaurant in Taormina."

When the mayor finished saying this, the eyes of the five people changed.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Zi took the lead in applauding, with excitement in their expressions.

Jiang Feng also laughed, and he could feel the weight of this sentence.

After all, everyone wants to promote the culture of their hometown when they go out.

Seeing them like this, the mayor also smiled kindly.

Then, when the atmosphere returned, he continued:

"The "Chinese Restaurant" you run was formerly a very famous Italian restaurant. It is in the best location and has a large daily customer flow." "The turnover of their restaurant last month was no less than the daily 1000 euros.”

"So, I will set a small goal for everyone."

"That is, in the next 21 days of business, the total turnover of "Chinese Restaurant" cannot be less than 2 euros."

When the mayor finished speaking.

A look of stress appeared on all five people's faces.

Especially the store manager Huang Xiaoming took a deep breath and adjusted his sitting posture to sit straighter.

Zhao Liying said: "Do you want a thousand a day?"

Wang Junkai also confirmed and asked: "2 euros?"

2 euros is equivalent to more than 15 Chinese coins.

With a monthly turnover of 15 yuan, it is impossible to say that this pressure is not great.

Of course, this task was arranged by the program team, but it was just said by the mayor.

This also indicates that this issue of "Chinese Restaurant" is bound to be under great pressure.

That’s why the show is good to watch.

After the mayor issued the business tasks, the meeting ended. The five people left under the leadership of the staff and were about to officially go to the Chinese restaurant.

They strolled through the ancient streets.

Jiang Feng always looked calm and didn't seem to feel much nervous.

He looked at the scenery around him and could see the cliffs and the blue sea in the distance.

It feels quite good.

The restaurant has long been renovated by the show crew.

There's a lot of investment in this show, so let's put it this way, the stores are filled with real yogurt.

The restaurant is very clean and spotless, with a total of eight tables.

After the five people entered the restaurant, they kept exclaiming in admiration.

“Wow, what a beautiful restaurant!”

“The environment is really nice!”

Then they went into the kitchen.

The kitchen is very large, even if there are seven or eight people standing there it doesn't feel crowded.

Jiang Feng became interested and carefully looked at the kitchen utensils in the kitchen.

After all, these kitchen utensils are all left over from the previous restaurant, so there must be some differences.

For example, there is no steamer here, but there is an oven, which is very suitable for baking pastries.

Nothing else matters, after all, Jiang Feng can solve it himself.

“The kitchen this time is so big!”

Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but admired.

"Chef Jiang, take a look and see if there's anything else you need. We'll figure it out then."

Huang Xiaoming looked at Jiang Feng and asked again.

In "Chinese Restaurant", Jiang Feng plays the role of "chef".

Among them, Huang Xiaoming is the store manager, Zhao Liying serves as a chef assistant and diplomat, and Wang Junkai and Yang Zi are waiters.

The positions have been arranged.

Jiang Feng responded:
"The kitchen utensils are quite complete. It's no problem to make basic dishes. I don't need anything for the time being."

"it is good."

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, everyone nodded.

After all, the pressure on turnover is there, and Jiang Feng is definitely the backbone.

If Jiang Feng was not around and a few of them opened a restaurant like this to entertain foreign guests and promote Chinese food culture, they would feel uncertain just thinking about it.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Feng will bear the most difficult part, and the others will just do their job as assistants, so that everyone's pressure will be much less.

Jiang Feng didn't think it was anything.

After all, he has opened countless small shops.

Five restaurants have been opened.

Running a small restaurant like this is really hard work.

However, things are not as simple as expected, and the program team will still increase the difficulty for them.

Then, several people came to the place where they lived.

The place where I live is next to the restaurant, and it is together with the restaurant.

Each person has a separate room. The beds in the room are new and covered with brand-new white bedding. There are also several bottles of pure yogurt on the bed.

The environment is very nice.

Several people looked a little happy when they saw how spacious the room was.

If you live well, you will feel good.

There is a TV and bathroom in the room, so it is convenient to do anything.

Everyone visited the conditions of each room and then began to allocate rooms.

Everyone was talking about it. Huang Xiaoming, as the store manager, also gave full play to his identity.

He started making arrangements.

For example, in the outermost room, it is easy for someone to climb in through the window. Huang Xiaoming said that it was too dangerous for girls to live there.

This was unanimously approved by everyone.

There was also a relatively small room, and Huang Xiaoming volunteered to live in it.

Jiang Feng took the initiative to live outside.

The outermost room has the best view, and you can see the outside scenery from the window.

The disadvantage is that it is easy for someone to break in.

But in fact, there are cameras everywhere on the program set, and no one will climb in through the windows.

Moreover, Jiang Feng's physical fitness is very strong.

Although I haven't learned any fighting skills, I still have no problem dealing with a few ordinary people.

Everyone started to carry their luggage.

Daily necessities were moved into the room.

Store items related to the kitchen in the back kitchen.

At this time, the program team’s tasks also began to be announced.

Life in the Chinese restaurant officially begins. (End of chapter)
