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

Chapter 15 Here comes the master!

The mobile food truck slowly drove into Shuize Resort.

Liu Wu, the person in charge of the resort, came to arrange Jiang Feng’s location.

“The location of each vendor’s stall has been determined in advance. Don’t change locations at will, and don’t take other people’s spots, otherwise you won’t be able to set up stalls in the resort.”

“If you have any questions, just tell me. I’m responsible for arranging matters for the vendors in the resort.”

 Liu Wu said to Jiang Feng.

 “Okay, no problem.” Jiang Feng agreed readily.

After all, you are setting up a stall on someone else’s property, and you must abide by the rules.

Jiang Feng is also a good young man who abides by laws and regulations.

In Jiang Feng’s dining car, braised food is simmering in several stainless steel pots.

Even if the lid is on, the fragrance cannot be blocked at all and comes out.

 The ingredients in different stock pots are slightly different.

For example, in the pot used to braise pig's trotters, some fried and melted rock sugar is added to give it a sugary color.

The pig's trotters made in this way will be red and bright.

 The pot used to stew chicken feet and drumsticks is filled with white broth, and the stew is tender and white.

 Multiple choices and different flavors, it all depends on what the customer likes.

Liu Wu smelled the aroma of braised pork and thought it was very fragrant, so he said:

“Your braised pork tastes really good, it smells delicious.”

 “Do a good job, there are quite a lot of people in the resort.”

 “If you do a good job, there will definitely be no shortage of business.”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng replied politely:

"I try my best."

 The next step is to wait for business.

 It is still early and there are not many tourists coming to the resort.

And today is Monday, there are relatively few guests.

Jiang Feng quietly waited for the arrival of the guests.

 At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the number of customers coming to the snack street began to increase.

 There are many vendors in the snack street.

 There are stalls selling noodles, some making fried sweet cakes, and some selling stinky tofu, fried skewers, and milk tea and coffee.

On this street, just walking around and buying whatever you want can make you half full.

At this time, almost all the ingredients that Jiang Feng stewed have tasted.

 He directly opened the lid of the pot.

 The meat is boiling in the pot.

The delicious smell of stew spread in all directions instantly.

 The surrounding diners smelled this smell, and their mouths secreted saliva unconsciously.

 “Where does it smell? It’s so fragrant!”

 “Which one is this?”

 It’s almost lunch time at 11 o’clock, and tourists at this time feel a little hungry.

 As soon as I smell this fragrance, the feeling of hunger becomes clearer.

Your body will not deceive yourself.

This is the stomach telling the brain: "This tastes delicious, go and eat it quickly."

 Two small vendors nearby also smelled the smell of braised pork.

 The vendor looked shocked.

 Hey guys, here comes the master!

 Could this ultimate fragrance be made by the handsome young man next to you?

 The vendors setting up stalls here are all middle-aged men and women. After all, young people are generally reluctant to set up stalls.

They just saw that Jiang Feng was so young and had good temperament and appearance, so they thought that Jiang Feng's cooking skills were probably average.

　human beings are never perfect.

If you are young, handsome, and good at cooking, that would be a bit too much.

 But now they discovered that Jiang Feng went further than they thought.

The taste of this braised pork is so tempting that I can’t resist it at all.

Soon, Jiangfeng welcomed its first wave of diners.

 Two little girls who were not tall, had very good skin, and looked very cute came to the stall.

They were wearing white fur clothes and carrying cat-shaped satchels, looking very youthful and beautiful.

Typical southern beauties, they are also called “Southern little potatoes” on the Internet

The two of them looked at the dish introduction hung by Jiang Feng:

 【Braised pig trotters: 40 yuan per pound】

 【Braised chicken feet: 40 yuan per pound】

 【Braised beef: 80 yuan per pound】

 【Braised pork sausage: 56 yuan per pound】

 【Braised chicken legs: 8 yuan each】

 【Braised eggs: 2 yuan per piece】

 【Braised pig ears: 40 yuan per pound】

 【Braised tofu skin/dried tofu/potato chips: 22 yuan per pound】

 The price of the braised pork sold by Jiang Feng is a bit above the average compared to the market price.

It’s more expensive than ordinary street braised pork shops, but cheaper than those big-name boutique braised pork shops.

His craftsmanship and dish recipes are totally worth the price.

　　Two beautiful southern girls are in good economic conditions. “This braised meat shop smells so good.”

 “What do you want to eat? Let’s buy some.”

 “I want to eat large intestine. I think large intestine is delicious.”

 “I want pig’s trotters and knuckles.”

 The two chatted for a while in front of the stall.

One of the girls glanced at Jiang Feng from time to time and winked at the other girl.

As good best friends, they have always been in tune with each other, and the other girl immediately understood what she meant:

 “Look at this stall guy, is he handsome?”

 Then, the other girl showed a slight smile in her eyes, pursed her lips in admiration and nodded, with a bit of excitement in her eyes.

 She means: "Super handsome!"

“Brother, we need a pound of braised pork intestines and a pig’s trotter. Please help us cut the pig’s trotters.”

 A girl said to Jiang Feng.

"okay."

Jiang Feng took a disposable plastic lunch box from the dining cart.

 He first took out the sausage and put it in the lunch box, then put it on the scale and weighed it.

“A little more than one catty, just right, just count it as one catty.”

 Jiang Feng’s main focus in doing business is integrity and authenticity.

　　　If the guest asks for a pound, he will get a pound.

Most of the merchants selling braised pork now are unscrupulous and playful. When customers ask for a pound, they often give them a pound, eight liang, or even two pounds.

 Some guests don’t care, but some guests are very unhappy.

I want one catty. What do you mean by giving me two catties? You have to say it, right?

Jiang Feng is much simpler, I will give you whatever you want.

 Have good luck in doing business.

 Then, Jiang Feng took out another stewed red pig's trotters, and weighed them first.

“Pig’s trotters are exactly 2 pounds.”

Jiang Feng showed the two girls a scale, then he cut the pig's trotters open with a kitchen knife and put them in a transparent plastic lunch box.

Jiang Feng stacked two lunch boxes together and put them in a plastic bag. He also put two pairs of disposable chopsticks and two pairs of disposable gloves.

  “Total 136.”

“It tastes really good when it’s just braised. It’s best to eat it while it’s hot.”

 “The taste will be worse when it’s cold.”

Jiang Feng handed over the braised pork and said with a smile.

 The two girls quickly scanned the QR code to pay, and said to Jiang Feng with a smile: "Thank you, boss."

They stared at Jiang Feng for a few seconds, then walked away with the braised pork.

The smell of braised pork continued to linger. Tourists who smelled the smell couldn't restrain their hunger. Looking for the smell, they approached Jiang Feng's dining car.

 Two southern girls found a bench and sat down.

 They plan to eat all the braised pork right here.

 “That guy is pretty good-looking, what an unexpected surprise.”

 “Well, let me just say, it’s really beautiful.”

 The two put on disposable gloves and prepared to eliminate the pig's trotters first.

They took out the transparent lunch box, opened it, and looked at the braised pig's trotters inside.

 The braised pig's trotters have an overall ruddy feeling and are shiny.

 As soon as the lunch box was opened, the braised smell of pig's trotters came out.

 The meat on the pig's trotters is visibly soft and rotten, and the middle part has been deboned.

 A little girl picked up a piece of pig's trotters, put it in her mouth, bit the meat and gently tore it apart.

　　Pork trotters were torn directly from the bones.

 Looking at the bones of the pig's trotters, they are clean and there is no shredded meat stuck to them. You can imagine how delicious the stew is.

 When the pork enters your mouth, the first reaction is that it is soft and glutinous.

It is full of collagen and feels like it is boiling. With a gentle chew, you can chew the tendons inside the pig's trotters.

Pork is soft and chewy, the tendons are elastic, and the delicious marinade flavor blooms in the mouth, with a bit of spiciness.

After taking a bite like this, there is only one feeling, and that is pleasure.

The girl's eyes widened a little, and she said "Hmm" in surprise.

 She chewed her mouth full of meat a few times and couldn't help but said: "It's delicious!"

Another girl picked up a piece of pig's trotters and tore it apart gently with both hands. The meat and skin of the pig's trotters were torn apart.

 She grabbed half of it and put it into her mouth, biting off the flesh.

 Sizzling hot feeling and wonderful taste.

Let her chew it for a few times and then swallow it unconsciously.

 After eating, my tongue feels crispy, and the fragrance spreads to my throat.

 “Well, it’s really good.”

 “The food here is so delicious!”

 The two of them had a great time eating, and not long after, a pig's trotter was completely eaten.
