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

Chapter 2 Colleagues have become customers!

Jiang Feng is busy making farm-style stir-fried pork again.

 First stir-fry the chili peppers in an iron pan, then set them aside after they are cooked.

 Then heat the oil in the pan, add the meat and stir-fry. When some of the aroma of the meat comes out, add the onion, ginger, garlic, and some bean paste.

 Finally add soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, chili pepper, stir-fry a few times, and remove from the pan.

 Just stir-fried pork with chili pepper.

The smell of fried pork with chili spreads farther, and the aroma of Jiang Feng's cooking can be smelled from the surrounding stalls.

 An older brother came to Jiang Feng’s stall and asked:

 “Boss, how do you sell this rice bowl?”

Jiang Feng said while cooking:

“1 meat and 1 vegetarian dish cost 18 yuan, 2 meat and 1 vegetable dish cost 25 yuan.”

“Today’s meat dishes are chicken legs, stir-fried pork, and fish-flavored shredded pork.”

“Vegetarian dishes are scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mushrooms and green vegetables.”

“There is seaweed and egg drop soup in the pot, 3 yuan a bowl.”

Hearing Jiang Feng’s quotation, the eldest brother hesitated a little.

 The rice bowl at the stall costs more than 20 yuan, which is quite expensive.

But the smell of cooking is so fragrant. I'm not hungry at first, but I feel hungry just from smelling it.

 “Bring me some stir-fried meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and some egg drop soup.”

 The elder brother still placed the order.

"Okay, find a place to sit and wait a moment. You'll be ready soon."

Jiang Feng started to get busy.

 One fried dish can almost satisfy the needs of four or five diners. Eight or nine chicken legs can be fried at one time and just stewed in a pot.

 So, even if Jiang Feng is alone, he can still keep busy.

“Boss, your cooking skills are great!”

“If you don’t want to be a chef in a restaurant, why would you want to set up a stall?”

 The eldest brother was chatting with Jiang Feng while watching him cook.

 The main reason is that Jiang Feng’s cooking techniques are very good and the presentation is good. You can tell he is an expert at first glance.

Jiang Feng smiled and replied: "Make money."

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, the eldest brother didn’t think much and just gave a thumbs up: “You have to be a young man, he is awesome!”

 Not long after, Jiang Feng made another plate of rice bowls.

The rice is topped with fried pork with chili peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and some of the soup from the fried chili pepper meat is poured over it. It looks very delicious.

 The rice bowl is just rice mixed with soup.

 Some people like to eat white rice, while others like to eat mixed rice. The tastes are different.

 The eldest brother sat down, holding chopsticks, mixing the fried pepper meat with the rice, letting the soup and rice fully combine, and then took a bite of it and took it into his mouth.

 In an instant, the unique taste of bibimbap bloomed in his mouth.

 The spiciness of the chili pepper and the umami flavor of the meat are mixed together.

 After chewing it in one bite, every grain of rice seemed to pop open, stimulating the taste buds.

Moreover, the fried pork with chili pepper has a slightly spicy feeling, which will make people secrete saliva unconsciously and stimulate people's appetite.

Even though it was afternoon, Jiang Feng’s rice bowl stall was not lacking in business.

 The moment the stove lights up, the unique aroma attracts people.

The diners were full of praises while eating:

 “Well, this rice bowl is really good.”

"delicious!"

 “Eat it while it’s hot, it’s so delicious!”

 Some people gathered around Jiang Feng and asked:

“Boss, can you order takeout? Leave me a phone number.”

“Boss, do you have a store? I would like to eat in your store.”

Hearing these questions, Jiang Feng responded:

“I don’t do takeout business here. I do it by myself. I cook everything fresh and I’m too busy.”

 “There is no shop, so I will set up a stall here this week.”

 “It’s okay to add WeChat, I don’t like to be disturbed.”

 Hearing what Jiang Feng said, many customers could only sigh.

 Young people today are really unique.

 You are so good at cooking, I wish you could be more diligent.

The stalls on the roadside of the park are steaming hot.

 People have a tendency to follow the crowd, especially when they see a lot of people lining up here, they all come around.

Jiangfeng’s dining car is relatively large, with two stoves, and spices, side dishes and fresh meat are placed next to it. At this time, another guest came:

“Boss, I want fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl, just this one dish. How much does it cost if you add more?”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng replied: "The fish-flavored shredded pork is made of good ingredients, but it's more expensive per order, costing 28."

 “Okay, I want it.” The guest, who was not short of money, said immediately.

 Different dishes have different prices, and the amount given is also different. Fish-flavored shredded pork is the most expensive. If it is one meat and one vegetarian dish or two meat and one vegetable dish with fish-flavored shredded pork in it, the amount given is smaller.

 A single order is more expensive.

"good."

Jiang Feng immediately started busy making fish-flavored shredded pork.

 When he was cooking, many people gathered around him. Some people even took out their mobile phones and recorded a video of him cooking.

The people who come here to eat are all the people around. If everyone knows which restaurant is delicious, they will definitely tell the people they know.

 As soon as it was spread like this, the reputation came out.

Jiang Feng took out the pork backbone and cut it into shreds.

 Add salt, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorn wine to remove the fishy smell.

 Use egg white and starch for sizing.

 Finally seal with some oil.

 Such shredded pork will not stick into a lump when fried.

Take thin red pepper, slice it, scrape the pepper seeds cleanly with a knife, and then chop the pepper skin into small pieces.

 This is the source of the "fish flavor" of fish-flavored shredded pork.

 5 tablespoons of water, 4 tablespoons of vinegar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of starch. This is fish sauce.

 Then, add oil in a hot pan, fry the shredded pork slices, add soaked sea pepper and bean paste for color. After a while, the tender pork strips will be fried with red oil and turn red.

Then stir-fry the onions, **** and garlic, and the aroma will burst out all at once.

 Add green bamboo shoots and fungus, and finally add some green onions.

 Let’s live together!

 Traditional fish-flavored shredded pork does not contain carrots. Nowadays, many businesses not only put carrots, but almost all of them are carrots.

 The famous delicacy of fish-flavored shredded pork has gradually lost its original flavor.

 There is already a plate of rice on the plate.

 The fish-flavored shredded pork is taken out of the pot and poured directly on the rice.

Each shred of meat is red and shiny, with steaming hot sauce on it. Just looking at it, you can imagine how delicious it is when chewing.

 The aroma of fish-flavored shredded pork spreads in all directions.

 Many people have not seen such authentic fish-flavored shredded pork for a long time.

The shreds of meat are crystal clear and filled with hazy heat, like a work of art.

 This is actually made by a roadside stall?

 No one would believe it if I told it.

 The customer was originally wondering if it would cost 28 to eat at a stall. Is it too expensive?

After seeing the finished fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl made by Jiang Feng, he just wanted to say it was worth it, it was so **** worth it.

The fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl was placed on the table. The guests couldn’t wait to pick up a few strips of meat with their chopsticks and put them directly into their mouths.

 The shredded pork has just been fried, the oil is still hot.

Taking one bite, it’s fragrant and hot, making you eager to take a few bites, but it’s so hot that you can only gasp.

Pain and happiness.

When the hot feeling subsided, they finally tasted the aroma of fish-flavored shredded pork.

 After taking a bite, your mouth is filled with delicious and rich soup. The flavor of the meat is perfectly brought out, and the more you chew, the more delicious it gets.

 When you swallow it, it feels so good from your throat to your stomach.

 The guest immediately showed an expression of enjoyment.

 Other people around saw how delicious the fish-flavored shredded pork rice was, and they all said:

“Boss, I also want a fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl!”

 “Give me one too!”

 “I’ll have one too, plus an extra chicken drumstick!”

At this moment, the big brother selling pancakes next to him saw that Jiang Feng's business was so good. He put down the pancake stall in his hand and walked directly towards Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng saw him coming and thought something was going on.

The eldest brother said directly: "Give me a fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl. The one you fried is so fragrant that I can't resist it."

Hearing this, everyone around laughed.

 Do you need to ask whether it tastes good or not? My peers have become customers!
