MTL - Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?

Chapter 10 Delicious fish head with chopped pepper!

 12 noon, Hongshan Park.

 Jiang Feng’s business is as booming as ever.

 It’s really a sea of ​​people!

There are more and more small vendors around. Many vendors found that there was a lot of traffic here and ran to set up stalls nearby.

Jiang Feng was swinging the shovel vigorously.

At this time, a small vendor rode a tricycle slowly towards Hongshan Park.

 He stopped not far from Jiang Feng and laid out the items for sale one by one.

 After seeing this, the diners hurriedly asked:

“Boss, what are you selling?”

Hearing what the diners said, the boss responded:

“Sellers of braised and raw meat. I heard that this rice bowl restaurant sells out the meat every time before afternoon, so I came to prepare it.”

Hearing this, the diners smiled knowingly.

“Boss, it would be great if you came here yesterday. I came here yesterday to queue up, but the meat was gone and the rice-don chefs had closed the stall!”

 “From now on, you won’t have to worry about the ingredients being sold out!”

 “It has to be you!”

Jiang Feng also heard the conversations of several people.

 He turned his head and glanced at the meat vendor cart.

Good guy, this boss brought at least 50 kilograms of meat. If this is made into stir-fries, it will last until the end of the year of the monkey!

 Even more outrageous than the diners who brought their own meat yesterday!

Jiang Feng just wanted to finish the work early and call it a day. He felt that making more than 300 servings a day was just right and within his acceptable range.

 If you work overtime, you have to put on the mask of pain.

 The meat stall greeted Jiang Feng very politely:

“Boss, tell me when the beef is sold out and I’ll give you a cheaper price!”

 “It’s all good meat!”

“Your rice bowl is so delicious, I’ll put it on the queue soon!”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng forced out a smile in response.

He thought secretly:

Sell it, just sell it, no one is smarter than you!

 The meat seller is coming to my side!

 Fortunately, I already had a backup plan.

Jiang Feng looked at the rice in the steamer. The rice he had prepared was enough for about 330 servings. Once the rice was sold out, he would close the stall.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng became more motivated.

At this time, another fat diner came to the stall. Unlike other diners, he held a mobile phone holder in his hand and raised his phone very high.

Jiang Feng looked up and saw only the back of the phone.

 “What do you want to eat?” Jiang Feng asked towards the mobile phone.

“Excellent fish head rice bowl with chopped pepper, 48 per serving, boss, you are selling it very expensive!” said the fat diner.

Jiang Feng looked at him calmly.

“Give me one. I am a food blogger. I heard that this donburi restaurant is quite delicious, so I came here to explore it.”

“Okay, scan the QR code and pay, sit there and wait.” Jiang Feng was about to start cooking.

“Boss, don’t you understand? I am a food blogger. My name is Fatty Liu, and I have more than 300,000 fans.” Fatty Liu said again.

"Scan the QR code to pay, sit there and wait." Jiang Feng said again.

“Boss, after I gave you the evaluation, your customer traffic has definitely increased dramatically. Do I still have to pay?” Fatty Liu tried to ask Jiang Feng to waive the order for him.

Jiang Feng hadn’t spoken yet, but the diners behind him were unhappy.

 “Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don’t delay us from buying it!”

 “What are you doing with your mobile phone there?”

 “He’s not a new type of beggar!”

 “Damn, this guy needs your traffic! If you don’t pee, take a look at yourself!”

Fatty Liu didn’t expect the diners to be so irritable, so he didn’t dare to say anything. He scanned the QR code and paid, then sat in front of the small table.

The diner behind him is an old customer. He has been eating at Jiang Feng’s stall for three days. Today he saw that new dishes were introduced and he said excitedly:

 “Boss, I also want fish head rice with chopped pepper.”

 “This is my first time eating it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng replied: "Okay, sit there and wait."

 The reason why the fish head with chopped pepper is so expensive is not actually that the ingredients are expensive, but that it is very troublesome to handle.

Jiang Feng is very responsible and cleans the fish heads he buys little by little.

 Only if it is clean enough, the fishy smell can be completely removed.

  Next, make a sauce with onion, ginger, and garlic, add salt, cooking wine, and a little light soy sauce, pour it all on the fish head, and mix well with your hands to ensure that the fish is fully coated with the seasoning.

 In this way, just wait for the fish head to be marinated.

I bought the chopped peppers from the supermarket, but the chopped peppers bought from the supermarket are very salty and have no fragrance. Jiang Feng also needs to process them twice.

 He poured out a bowl of red pepper sauce, rinsed it once with water, and set it aside for later use. I patted a few more cloves of garlic, minced them into minced garlic, and chopped some black beans.

 The diners looked on.

Fatty Liu who was visiting the shop also stood up and watched Jiang Feng's cooking steps.

Jiang Feng heat the oil in a pan, pour in the minced garlic, and stir-fry the minced garlic until fragrant.

 The white garlic paste made a sizzling sound in the oil pan, and countless bubbles came out.

 When the minced garlic is fried until golden, Jiang Feng adds the chopped pepper and stir-fries it with the minced garlic.

This step is to fry the water out of the chopped peppers and add some flavor to the chopped peppers.

 Finally add some tempeh, an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, a small amount of oyster sauce, and a little chicken essence.

Red chopped peppers are mixed with seasonings and stir-fried in the pot. Steam comes out and the aroma spreads around.

 The fried chopped peppers are so fragrant!

There is no need for fish heads, just pour the chopped pepper on the rice, and it won’t taste very good!

 The diners smelled the smell and secreted saliva continuously.

　　“This stir-fried food is too fragrant!”

“Boss, do you want to sell this chili pepper sauce? I’ll buy some of it and eat it with rice!”

 “I want to buy it too!”

“It smells so good. If I had known better, I would have tried the fish head with chopped pepper instead of the Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl. I can only come back tomorrow!”

　　“Why does everything he cooks taste so delicious!”

 Everyone was talking about it.

 Jiang Feng’s chopped chili sauce is naturally not sold.

 He put the marinated fish head on a plate and steamed it in a pot for about six minutes.

 I don’t add chopped pepper in this step, just to get rid of the smell further.

After steaming, Jiang Feng took out the plate, poured out all the water, and put the fish head on it again.

 Then, sprinkle all the chopped chili sauce evenly on the fish head.

Red chopped peppers are spread all over the fish head, and the soup seeps directly into the fish meat.

Just looking at it, it feels spicy and delicious.

The taste of the chopped pepper seems to enter the mouth, making people want to chew a few times.

 Then, put the plate into the pot and continue to steam the fish.

After steaming for about fifteen minutes, Jiang Feng took out the plate. The fish head was completely covered with red chopped peppers, and it was full of the aroma of chopped peppers.

Jiang Feng sprinkled a handful of chopped green onion on the head of the chopped pepper fish, and then poured two spoons of hot oil over it.

As soon as the oil was poured on it, it made a "sizzling" sound, and the smell of fish came out immediately.

 “This craftsmanship is really good!”

 “Boss, I also want fish head rice with chopped pepper!”

"I also want!"

 The diners at the back saw how delicious the fish head with chopped pepper was and placed orders one after another.

 A rice bowl costs 48, which sounds expensive, but a plate of fish head with chopped peppers like this in a restaurant costs 98 at least.

Jiang Feng divided a plate of fish heads into two and spread them on the rice.

　Red chopped peppers are spread everywhere.

 Then, Jiang Feng handed over the two rice bowls and continued to work on the next order of business.

 Fatty Liu got his own fish head rice bowl with chopped pepper.

 Looking at the red peppers on the rice bowl, Fatty Liu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

 He picked up his chopsticks, mixed with chopped pepper and took a mouthful of rice.

In an instant, the rich soup filled his mouth, and the wonderful taste caused saliva to secrete rapidly. Fatty Liu let out a "hmm" in relief.

This fish head rice bowl with chopped pepper is amazing!

 Chopped pepper is not only not spicy, but also extremely appetizing.

The fish meat has no fishy smell at all and tastes very fresh, just like the taste of pepper sauce.

 It is not easy to make fish head like this, it requires a top chef.

Fatty Liu was amazed again and again. He moved his hands quickly. He picked up the plate and directly mixed the chopped pepper sauce with the rice and took it into his mouth.

 The mouth is bulging from chewing, and the mouth is full of oil.

He was so happy that he even forgot to take video footage.

 I just feel like today is the right day!

 This stall is definitely at the right place!
