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

Chapter 14 Delicious soup stock, smell the smell!

 At six o'clock in the morning the next day.

Jiang Feng got up early and went to his small shop to check on the soup stock.

Jiang Feng opened the lid of the stainless steel bucket, and a puff of hot air rose up.

He looked into the bucket. At this time, the soup stock that had been stewed for eight hours looked a little clear and not rich enough.

 This is normal.

Jiang Feng took a colander, took out the chicken that had been stewed for six hours in the pot, and then hit the chicken with an iron spoon. The chicken immediately broke into pieces and was smashed in the pot.

 Just break all the chicken into pieces, then turn on the high heat and cook for about 20 minutes.

 The stock in the pot began to boil, and the chopped chicken flowed along with the soup, and the nutrients were slowly integrated into the stock.

 When I opened the lid again, I saw that the soup had become white and thick.

 This is the secret recipe for making soup.

This is because the collagen and fat in the ingredients undergo hydrolysis and emulsification reactions during the high-temperature heating process, and are all integrated into the soup, making the soup white and thick.

 Only a conscientious boutique chef would make such a stock.

 Otherwise, relying on technology and hard work, a spoonful of Sanhua evaporated milk will have the same rich white effect and the same fresh fragrance, but the taste will be much worse.

 The real soup stock is fragrant, and the more you eat it, the better it tastes, and your stomach feels very comfortable after eating it.

 As for Technology and Hard Work, the first bite is very fragrant, but after eating too much, you feel that the taste is not right, and there is a strange feeling in your mouth.

 “Well, the stock is cooked, it’s time to season it.”

Jiang Feng continues to be busy.

 When making braised pork series, the focus is on the preliminary preparation work.

 When you are ready, you don’t have to worry so much.

Jiang Feng took out all the meat residue and bones from the pot. The little black dog happened to be nearby, so Jiang Feng put the meat residue directly into the dog basin.

 For dogs, this is a first-class delicacy.

The little black dog waggled its tail, buried its head in the rice bowl, and ate quickly, its tail wagging back and forth excitedly.

It had just eaten a few bites when Jiang Feng came down with another big spoon and piled the food bowl full.

The little black dog was flattered and looked at the delicious food in the food bowl in disbelief.

 Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.

 The happiest dog life is probably to be the pet of a chef.

In the little black dog's heart, Jiang Feng is simply a god!

 Then, Jiang Feng boiled the ingredients bought yesterday, including cinnamon bark, grass fruit, kaempferol, cloves, angelica angelica, and tangerine peel.

 Cook for three minutes to remove the medicinal smell.

 Then wrap it in gauze, throw it directly into the soup stock, and season.

 After putting in the Chinese medicinal materials, you still have to seal the soup stock with oil.

 This step is also very important.

 Find a pot, put ten pounds of fresh chicken oil directly into it, simmer for a while and then add chives, coriander, green onions, carrots, onions, and fresh **** slices.

 After the chicken fat and vegetables are dry, take out all the vegetables, leaving only the clear oil.

 Finally, pour the boiled chicken fat directly into the soup stock.

 If you want to make the most delicious braised food, you have to work hard.

Jiang Feng has no magic, so it is impossible to cast a spell on the braised vegetables, which will make the braised vegetables unforgettable.

 All he has is technology and he needs to work hard.

This process is a bit hard, but he takes everything seriously and doesn't think there is any problem.

 After adding the chicken fat, Jiang Feng added salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, rock sugar, and some white wine, and cooked for more than 20 minutes.

 In this step, the soup stock is finished.

 The soup is ready, now you can braise the meat.

 When braised meat, seasonings should also be added, which should be determined according to the amount of meat.

 The shop is filled with the aroma of braised pork.

 It’s already past eight o’clock in the morning.

 There was an old man passing by the shop. When he smelled the smell, his eyes lit up.

 “Which store makes stewed meat so delicious?”

 The uncle exclaimed in surprise.

Then he sniffed and began to look for the smell and find the store.

 But after searching around, I found nothing.

This place is relatively remote. There used to be some shabby shops here, but later there was really no business and they were all closed.

“Whoever cooks something so delicious so early in the morning and can’t eat it will cost my life!”

 The uncle sighed with emotion.

At this moment, Jiang Feng opened the courtyard door and drove the mobile dining car slowly out of the courtyard.

 Seeing the mobile dining car, the uncle sniffed again, and the rich aroma immediately hit his face.

 The uncle ran over and shouted twice.

Jiang Feng got out of the car and just closed the store door when he saw an old man running towards him and asked:

 “Sir, what’s wrong?”

“What are you stewing? It’s so fragrant?” the uncle asked immediately.

“Oh, uncle, I sell braised pork, and I was making soup just now!”

 “Braised pork? Give me some.”

Jiang Feng didn’t expect to have customers so soon. He smiled and said:

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to sell it. I just marinated it and the meat hasn't tasted yet."

 “At least half an hour.”

 “The soup is ready now.”

“If you want to eat it, I’ll marinate it early next time.”

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, the uncle sighed.

There is no way to force this.

 “Where are you setting up your stall?” the uncle asked again.

“I’m over at Shuize Resort. Isn’t there a special place for stalls? I’m right there.”

Jiang Feng replied again.

“Okay, I’ll be there today and I’ll buy it from you then.” The uncle smelled the soup and said reluctantly.

 “Okay, sir, you’ll be busy first.”

Jiang Feng drove the mobile dining car all the way towards Shuize Resort.

 The mobile food truck is not big and cannot be mounted on an elevated road. It is still ok to walk on an ordinary path.

There are several pots behind Jiang Feng, in which various kinds of braised pork are stewed.

 The rich broth keeps rolling, and the delicious flavor keeps seeping into the meat.

 High temperature allows the meat to stretch and absorb the nutrients and taste of the broth more easily.

 These pots of braised pork are all top-notch delicious.

Jiang Feng hopes that today’s business will be better.

 Judging from the business situation last week, the first day was the most difficult. After all, there were no repeat customers or regular customers. It all relied on customer flow.

 When there are repeat customers later, the business will be easy to do.

 Getting on my favorite little food truck, Jiang Feng is driving among the fireworks in the world, full of hope.

At the same time, the southeast corner of Hongshan Park.

Many diners came here. After looking around for a long time but unable to find a dining cart to buy rice bowls, they couldn't help but come over to ask.

“Where is the young man who bought the rice bowl? Why isn’t he here?”

 “Who drove him away?”

 “Come on, I’ve finally had a good time eating it for a few days.”

Facing everyone’s inquiries, the pancake seller said:

“Jiang Feng told me that he will change places next week and seems to be setting up a stall at Shuize Resort.”

“Those who sign the contract will set up a stall for a week.”

 “It’s not over here.”

The eldest brother who sells pancakes is more generous. He ate Jiang Feng's rice bowl several times and felt so good that he helped Jiang Feng in particular.

Whoever asked about Jiang Feng, the pancake seller would tell the truth.

Local residents were stunned when they heard what the big brother selling pancakes said.

“You went to Shuize Resort? Damn it, Shuize Resort actually competed with us for the chef!”

"Why did you go there? Do you think our business is not easy to do?"

 “My rice bowl! My delicious rice bowl!”

“Chef, come back quickly, I can’t live without you!”

People wailed one after another.

Hearing what the residents said, the pancake seller clicked his tongue, but he understood everyone.

Jiang Feng’s cooking is really delicious. Being able to eat it for a few days is already a great happiness.

 It is really impossible to eat it every day.

 “How do you make this rice bowl?”

　　　“If I don’t make pancakes anymore, I’ll also learn how to make rice dumplings.”

“Perhaps if we set up a stall here, diners will also queue up.”

 “That’s so beautiful.”

　　The big brother selling pancakes started to daydream, and he felt happy just thinking about it.
