    Jiang Ci didn't have the habit of making people unhappy, and offered her opinions sincerely in a tactful tone.

    As for whether this segment shot by Li Haichuan will be played in the special feature, she doesn't know, and she doesn't mind.

    Boss Chang stared at her nervously and suspiciously at first, but after listening to a few words, his expression gradually became serious.

    The chefs next to them also raised their ears unconsciously.

    When Jiang Ci stopped, Boss Chang was still a little unsatisfied, and seemed to want to persuade her to continue.But he glanced at the camera next to him and didn't do it after all.

    It was almost five o'clock when Jiang Ci came out of Shangxian Pavilion, and the screen of the venue began to play the final ending promotional video, and the soft and gentle sound of music floated in the air.

    Her eyes sharpened, and she immediately walked to places she hadn't visited yet.

    Meanwhile, a corner of Area A.

    Wang Jianian interrupted the supplier's chatter, said goodbye and slipped away quickly.He returned to Wangpinlou's stall, grabbed a kitchen spoon naturally, and helped the chef next to him handle the pickled fish.

    "How is this year?" Wang Hechang asked endlessly.

    Wang Jianian: "It's not bad. After two days, I feel like I've gained ten catties. And I can guarantee that no one here except Boss Jiang's dishes can surpass me."

    Wang Hechang scolded: "I didn't ask you this!"

    Wang Jianian glanced at his father's expression, and chuckled: "We've talked about it for a while, and it's been a little rewarding. I'll tell you carefully when I go back."

    The red and green peppers are put into the pot to sauté, and then poured into the bowl together with the hot chili oil, and the aroma is sprayed out, and the whole stall is lingering in the hot spicy fragrance.

    Smiling, Wang Jianian handed out the last piece of sauerkraut fish to the diners.

    Area B.

    The inventory of the Zhenwei restaurant was also exhausted, so Jia Yang kept the last honey sauce fire recipe, savored it carefully, and nodded while eating.

    Taking advantage of the last bit of free time, he passed outside the Jixiang Building, and stared at the fat man inside. Master Tian stared back unceremoniously, shaking his hand, and the kitchen knife hit the cutting board with a "bang" sound.There was a loud bang.

    Next to him, Jiang Zhe, who was on the phone, shivered from the light of the knife.

    In areas C and D, the exotic delicacies were gradually sold out, the aroma of baking and desserts gradually dissipated, the shelves with weird snacks were emptied, and the number of visitors in the venue gradually decreased.

    At five o'clock, the annual food festival came to an end.

    ...

    After the grand ceremony ended, many media reports followed. The tourists who had tasted the food at the grand ceremony couldn't help but speak in their own small circles.

    Jiang Ci rested all night, only to find out the next day that Feng Qianguan's account was flooded with crazy reposts and comments.

    【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!So delicious so delicious!I rushed to Feng Qianguan's Beggar Chicken in the last ten places on the last day. God knows how nervous I was when I passed by those diners who couldn't get in line QAQ]

    [Is there such a delicious restaurant in City A?Why never heard of it before!It's not worse than those big restaurants!】

    [It's over!My daughter cried all night after eating chestnut cake yesterday and still wants to eat it!Boss, when will you open the store? I can't hold it anymore!】

    [The plane left City A yesterday, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go again in the past six months.Boss, I beg you to open an online store!Other dishes can't be sold, and things like chestnut cakes can be sent across cities!】

    The last comment gathered a bunch of likes and "+1".

    Jiang Ci blinked.

    online store?

    The online store is temporarily closed, but the new store site is almost ready.

    She simply sent a message.

    [@Feng Qianguan: Thank you, old and new customers, for your love!Our store will be relocating soon, and more seats will be available at that time![picture.jpg]]

    Attached is a half-decorated new store map.

    In the first minute after sending it out, there were several comments below.

    【Hey!It's still a two-storey store!The boss is so proud!】

    Jiang Ci reservedly replied with a "hehe" expression.

    【Is there a box?Can the box be reserved in advance?!Anything that can be solved with money is easy to say!!】

    Jiang Ci replied: [First come, first served!A little more deposit than normal location.】

    [I'll go, can those pots of money trees be moved away!!!Next to it is such an elegant rosewood flower stand!Boss, even if you change it to lucky bamboo, it will look better?】

    Jiang Ci quickly replied: 【No.】

    A few seconds later, the netizen on the opposite side replied with six points.

    At the same time, in the local media's intensive reports on the food festival, Feng Qianguan's signboard also appeared frequently.

    By this time, people have to admit.

    Even though Feng Qianguan is small in size, he is so small that he can't even accommodate a class of students.But it really isn't a "street shop" anymore.

    With unlimited potential and momentum, it broke into the eyes of the public and into the arena of food competition.

    ...

    the other side.

    At the end of the grand ceremony, Master Tian took his apprentices back to the Jixiang Building.The Spring Festival market is huge, and they still have a few days to fight.

    But at this moment, the auspicious building is in chaos.

    Jiang Zhe held a piece of crumpled paper in his hand. The handwriting on the paper was clean and delicate, but at this moment it was twisted out of shape due to the wrinkles.

    "Resignation letter? She handed me the resignation letter?" Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth, his face full of anger, "Is she threatening me? Where else can she go except Jixianglou? I'll let the word out right now to see whoThe restaurant dares to accept her!"

    There are quite a few that dare to accept her.

    The little workers thought silently in their hearts, but they didn't say anything.

    "Say it! She takes you every day, you must know what she thinks!" Jiang Zhe stared at a small worker in front of him.

    Xiaogong was just a tender-faced young man, he could not help but shrink back when he heard the words, his head almost dropped to his chest.

    He squeezed out a voice through his teeth: "I... I don't know..."

    Jiang Zhe hopped on the spot alone for a while, and after recovering, he exhaled slowly.

    Master Tian, who was hiding outside the back kitchen, heard him calm down, wiped his hands on his apron, and walked in pretendingly, asking, "What happened? I heard you get angry all the way."

    "I received this this morning..." Jiang Zhe calmed down, a little depressed. Although Mi Ting's position in Jixiang Building is not high, much lower than those advanced masters, she can almost be said to be a major force.

    Jiang Zhe sighed: "Didn't I just say a few words to her that day... She went straight to Feng Qianguan after she left our booth, can this not make me think too much?"

    "Your tone is indeed too strong. Your voice can be heard on the whole floor." Master Tian commented seemingly objectively, looking at Jiang Zhe's expression, and said, "Of course, it's her fault.Leaving work, I ran to the deadly enemy who was looking for us, and chatted with people in full swing."

    Master Tian put eye drops on the ground sentence by sentence.

    Jiang Zhe clenched his fists.

    Master Tian: "You don't want her back, do you?"

    "She's back?" Jiang Zhe pondered the possibility with downcast eyes, then raised his head and asked, "If she doesn't come back, can you get away with it?"

    Master Tian seems to have heard a very funny words: "What are you thinking? Can I turn around? You really think highly of her!"

    Jiang Zhe stared at Master Tian suspiciously.

    Master Tian continued: "It's okay, nothing will happen. When Jixiang Building didn't have her back then, it still opened very well! We, Master Wang and Master Liu, have been chefs for decades, and you still want to be a chef.Can she influence us alone?"

    Jiang Zhe raised his eyes, glanced over the back kitchen, and met several elderly chefs.

    These few were Jiang Deyong's subordinates back then.

    Mi Ting even had to learn how to chop vegetables after them.

    Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he was worrying too much, probably because he was too anxious due to the negative news of Jixianglou these days, and he became a little suspicious.

    Jiang Zhe looked at Master Tian: "Turn back to my grandfather, do you know how to say it?"

    "Understood. That guy has lost his mind, so we have nothing to do." Master Tian said with a smile.

    The back kitchen of Jixiang Building continues to operate, and the well-trained staff are busy with the work at hand.

    ...

    In the evening, Jiang Deyong took a few old friends to the Jixiang Building for a banquet.

    The few in front of him are his old classmates, who are now blooming in all walks of life.Of course, he is the best one among them.

    The magnificent restaurant, the polite and considerate waiters, the distinguished boxes and exquisite dishes all made him look good in front of these old classmates.

    The waiter led the old men forward and took the elevator to a floating pavilion on the third floor. This is a semi-open box with elegant mahogany screens on three sides.scene.

    The old classmate looked around: "Old Jiang, you have developed really well, it's so lively."

    With a smile on Jiang Deyong's face, he was about to answer the conversation, when a voice suddenly broke out from the dining table not far away.

    "What did you do in Jixianglou today?!" A chubby man stood up with an angry look on his face, "Order a cold pot rabbit and tell me if it's time to order. Change it to mapo tofu and it won't take a long time! This is not yours."Is it a sign?"

    As the man said, he grabbed a bowl and almost ran in front of the waiter: "And this fish maw, smell it, is it fishy? Can you eat it?! It was fished out of the river and thrown directly to the waiter.Me?"

    In front of him, the waiter kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, sir, we're going to change it now, and the dishes are also urgent. Don't be angry."

    "I'm not angry?" The man's face became even more stinky, "I'm not angry when all my customers are gone by you? I ordered the dishes in the morning, and you still serve them like constipation at night. What are you doing?"?”

    "Sorry, sorry." The waiter could only keep repeating.

    Seeing the man getting more and more emotional, the old classmates looked at the distant scene worriedly.

    "Old Jiang, do you want to deal with it?" Someone suggested.

    "Which cook is distracted today?" Someone speculated.

    "It's because the business is so booming, I can't be too busy." Someone set up the steps.

    Under the dining table, Jiang Deyong squeezed his cane tightly, the head of the wooden cane hurt his hand.

    Fortunately, in the next moment, higher-level employees rushed over to appease the guests.

    "The dishes have been ordered, you guys chat first, I'll go and have a look." Jiang Deyong left a sentence, got up and left.

    Jiang Deyong came to the back kitchen.

    This is a place he is quite familiar with, and he worked hard all the way, although he has not been here very often in the past ten years or so.

    Over the past ten years, the decoration of the back kitchen has long been changed, and the surroundings have also been updated with the latest equipment.Jiang Deyong didn't recognize the faces of most of the small workers, but only remembered a few of the masters.

    Jiang Deyong walked in angrily, and said, "What's going on today?"

    When the masters saw him, their movements stopped in fright.

    The new worker didn't recognize him, and was still hurrying through the back kitchen with a pot of thawed rabbit meat in his arms: "The rabbit meat is here! The rabbit meat is finally ready! Next, we can make cold pot rabbit!"

    Xiao Gong almost bumped into Jiang Deyong who walked in, and realized that there was an old man in front of him, so he stopped angrily.From the changes in the attitudes of the people around him, he guessed that the old man in front of him should be his immediate boss, or have a relationship with his immediate boss.

    "What's going on?!" Jiang Deyong repeated.

    Xiao Gong thought he was asking himself, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I ran out of rabbit meat just now... I re-thawed a batch..."

    Jiang Deyong frowned: "Why did the rabbit meat run out?"

    Jixianglou has been in business for so many years, and it has long been experienced in how many dishes should be prepared every day, and this situation has almost never happened.

    Xiaogong bit the bullet and explained: "When the goods were purchased in the early morning...the supplier delivered less, and no one noticed..."

    Jiang Deyong scolded: "Don't you need to count? Who is the person counting today?!"

    An employee next to him almost cried: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was negligent... In the past, Master Mi Ting would help me check again... I..." He was too embarrassed to make excuses for himself.

    "You wait here!" Jiang Deyong turned his head and asked again, "Also, who made the fish maw just now? Ah? How did you get rid of the fish?"

    The one who made the fish maw was a master chef. He had heard the news from the waiter a while ago, and he said with a bitter face: "Boss Jiang, I am really busy! The back kitchen is too chaotic today, and I don't know what these guys are doing.That's right, I don't even know what they did with the fish maw that was handed to me. Their skins will loosen if Master Mi Ting is away!"

    "You!" Jiang Deyong glared fiercely at his apprentice.

    Although he was very angry, he had to save face for the master master in the building in front of other small workers.

    Jiang Deyong came back to his senses: "By the way, where's Mi Ting? Why haven't I seen her? Why isn't Mapo Tofu available for a long time?"

    Jiang Deyong found that after he finished speaking, no one in the back kitchen answered him.

    Jiang Deyong: "Speak?!"

    "Master Mi Ting has resigned." A weak voice came out of nowhere.

    Jiang Deyong didn't react, he never considered the possibility that Mi Ting would resign.

    However, in the end, it was just a chef in a building.

    Jiang Deyong: "If you resign, you will do this?!"

    He didn't wait for his next lesson to come out.

    Behind him, the waiter ran in hastily: "Shrimp! The batch of shrimp just now didn't go to the shrimp line! Check it quickly!"

    ...

    From the fourth day to the sixth day, Jiang Ci was closed. She spent one day with Zhao Sulan at the family building in the suburbs, and spent two days at Feng Qianguan's new store location, handling various preparations for the new store.

    On the seventh day, early in the morning, Jiang Ci unexpectedly received a call.

    A flat, calm voice came from the microphone.

    Jiang Ci listened, but there was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows.

    ...

    At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Jianian came to Feng Qianguan with a yawn, and started preparations for the opening with the surrounding staff.Cleanliness, preparation of ingredients, updating menus, everything has to worry about.

    Lin Wu is used to getting up early, and he came here after doing Tai Chi in the morning. At this time, he loosened his shoulders and vigorously kneaded the dough.Liang Hui came earlier, and the first batch of sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes had begun to take shape in her hands.

    He Mingcan stood in front of the soup stove with high soup, his eyes were sleepy.Wang Jianian was afraid that he would accidentally fall asleep in it, so he pushed him outside to do hygiene.

    Wang Jianian: "Don't cause work-related injuries here, go outside and wipe the tables clean."

    He Mingcan said "uh" with a dazed expression, grabbed the rag and moved out.

    A few minutes later, He Mingcan returned to the back kitchen with his eyes wide open, and the sleepiness on his face was completely gone.

    "Boss! Someone is looking for it!" He Mingcan suppressed his voice and gestured with both hands to express his excitement.

    Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows and walked out.

    "Who is it?" Wang Jianian followed curiously to gossip.

    When he reached the door, Wang Jianian looked outside Feng Qianguan's door in shock.

    A person wearing a long down jacket stood quietly in the early morning sun.She was wearing a scarf, with her hands in her pockets, and when she met his gaze, she just looked away calmly.

    Mi Ting?!

    Isn't it from Jixianglou?!

    To find fault?!

    A few thoughts popped up in Wang Jianian's mind instantly.

    And Jiang Ci had walked over happily and opened the door.

    "This is our new master." Jiang Ci turned around and introduced with a smile.

    He Mingcan had already wiped his hands clean quickly, and when he heard this, he went to shake hands with Mi Ting: "Master Mi, hello, hello, we met at the grand ceremony a few days ago."

    Mi Ting nodded to him: "Hello."

    Wang Jianian couldn't accept it, why did he go back to Wang Pinlou for a few days, there seemed to be many things he didn't know?

    After a few seconds, Wang Jianian's head finally returned to work slowly: "Mi Ting, what's going on, why are you here?"

    Mi Ting glanced at him, as if she wanted to ignore the topic, she hesitated and replied: "I want to change the environment, I don't want to stay there anymore."

    She pursed her lips and continued: "I want to go further in cooking, I want to make food that I can approve of myself, and I want to be recognized by others... I decided to come here and give it a try."

    "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed here." Jiang Ci smiled, and opened the door a little wider, allowing people in down jackets to squeeze in.

    "welcome."
