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

Chapter 22: Boss, it’s been so hard to find you!

 The next day, the weather was fine and the breeze was blowing.

Jiang Feng prepared the braised pork and drove the dining car towards the resort.

 The life of setting up a stall is still leisurely.

 Due to the popularity of braised pork in the past two days, there are more and more repeat customers.

 As soon as he arrived, he saw several people waiting there.

 “The little brother is here!”

“I won’t come until after 11 o’clock. I’ll come back later.”

 “I brought the steamed buns here specially to eat his braised pork.”

 The guests chatted with each other.

 Some tourists saw the queue here and were suddenly curious.

A family of three came over. The man, Sun Jianjun, curiously asked a diner in line:

“Hello, can I ask what the queue is for?”

Hearing Sun Jianjun’s question, the diner responded kindly:

“I’m waiting for a guy selling braised pork.”

 “His braised pork is fresh and delicious, and the taste is really extraordinary.”

“I came here after 11 o’clock yesterday. When I went there at 2:30 in the afternoon, the food trucks were all closed. When I asked, I found out that they were sold out.”

 “So come here early today and wait here.”

 “So does everyone else.”

Hearing this, Sun Jianjun was suddenly surprised.

 “Selling braised pork?”

 A braised pork dish is so exaggerated that it requires so many people to queue up?

 There are many braised meat shops in the streets and alleys, almost everywhere. If you want to eat chicken feet and pig trotters, just buy them.

While the two were chatting, Jiang Feng drove over slowly in a small dining car bus.

 “Everyone, please give in, thank you.”

Jiang Feng opened the car window and said.

 “Come on, come on, the boss is here!”

 “It’s finally here!”

 Seeing Jiang Feng coming, the waiting guests immediately became excited.

I look forward to the stars and the moon, but here you are!

 The guests moved out of the way, Jiang Feng parked at the designated location, got out of the car, put up a sign, opened the car window, and prepared for business.

He opened the pot that was still simmering, and in an instant, the delicious smell filled the air.

 The guests were even more happy when they smelled it.

 The queue formed immediately, and everyone bought the braised pork in an orderly manner.

Sun Jianjun’s family of three looked on.

“There are so many people queuing up, let’s buy some too.”

“The braised pork boss has just arrived and there aren’t many people queuing up yet.”

Sun Jianjun smelled the smell of meat and said to his wife.

 “Okay, let’s buy some.”

 “But don’t buy too much, maybe it’s all a scam.”

“Businessmen now have a lot of support, just to attract customers like you who have a herd mentality.”

Sun Jianjun’s wife said.

Hearing what his wife said, Sun Jianjun retorted:

 “Some businesses hire contractors, but you have to make your own judgment.”

“Look at the people in front of you, they all bought braised pork seriously.”

“And the taste can’t be deceiving. With such a fragrant seasoning, it definitely tastes good.”

Sun Jianjun was waiting in the queue.

At this time, there were about eight or nine people queuing up. The braised pork was sold very quickly, and he was waiting in line within a few minutes.

 He looked at the braised pork on the table, thought about it, and said:

“Boss, give me half a pound of duck intestines and half a pound of duck rack.”

 Duck intestines are a new variety added by Jiangfeng today.

Duck intestines are very strong and have a more refreshing taste than fat intestines. After the marinade is infused with the flavor, it feels great to chew.

"OK, no problem."

Jiang Feng immediately fished out the duck intestines, weighed them, and packed them into boxes.

After selling braised pork for three days, Jiang Feng’s weighing skills improved a lot.

 With one spoonful of it, the weight of the braised pork is almost the same as what the customer requested.

Then, Jiang Feng took out the duck rack and weighed it, packed both boxes, put three disposable gloves, and handed them to Sun Jianjun.

 “The duck rack and duck intestines you want.”

"Thanks."

Sun Jianjun paid the money and took the box.

 He directly sat down on the bench next to him. The family of three planned to finish off Jiang Feng's braised pork here.

 “Look over there, there are more people queuing up!”

Sun Jianjun’s wife looked at Jiang Feng’s stall and said.

 At this moment, another wave of customers came to the stall and queued up. I just sell braised pork, but my business is surprisingly good.

 “Looks like it’s really hot!”

“It’s normal for a resort to have a special delicacy, but I’ve never heard of it before coming here.”

 “Let’s try it quickly.”

Sun Jianjun put on his gloves, first grabbed a handful of duck intestines, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.

The duck intestine has a crisp texture and tastes like hairy tripe. After chewing it for a few times, it suddenly makes a "click-click" sound.

These duck intestines have been completely marinated, and the delicious flavor blooms from the duck intestines. It is slightly spicy, but it does not cover up the rich aroma at all.

"delicious!"

Sun Jianjun’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed another handful of duck intestines and put it directly in his mouth.

 The braised pork is delicious.

His wife and daughter have also eaten some duck intestines.

At this moment, the family of three all understood why so many people were queuing in front of Jiang Feng’s stall.

 “This braised pork is delicious!”

Sun Jianjun’s daughter also said.

“No wonder there are so many people queuing up.” Sun Jianjun’s wife exclaimed.

The three of them chatted and ate at the same time. In just a few bites, a box of duck intestines was completely eaten.

 Then they started eating duck rack again.

There were not many duck racks. Three people each ate two duck racks, so the box was empty.

 “Go buy some more, it’s delicious.”

 “Buy more, you can eat it when you go back at night.”

Sun Jianjun’s wife and daughter both said.

 They came to the resort to have fun and relax.

 I never expected to encounter such delicious braised pork!

Sun Jianjun took off his disposable gloves and wiped his mouth, still feeling unfinished.

 “Okay, I’ll buy some more.”

 “The queue is getting longer again.”

“I kind of understand why people are queuing up.”

“It would be really uncomfortable if we arrived late and the braised pork was sold out.”

Sun Jianjun said as he quickly walked to the back of the queue, preparing to buy another batch of braised pork.

 There was a strange scene on the snack street.

 There are not many customers in front of other small shops and stalls, only in twos and threes.

There was already a long queue of more than a dozen people in front of Jiang Feng's dining car.

 This is still under the condition that the purchase process of braised pork is very short.

  If it takes a long time to buy braised pork, the queue will be long.

Jiang Feng found that his business was getting better and better.

His business has not stopped since he arrived.

Many of the customers look familiar and are obviously old customers.

At this moment, two men wearing urban management clothes walked up to the stall.

As soon as they saw Jiang Feng, the two people couldn't wait to come over and shouted to Jiang Feng:

“Boss, I finally found you!”

 “Do you know how hard we worked to find you?”

 The guests around were a little confused when they heard what the urban management said.

 What is going on?

Are the city management officials here?

 Is there something wrong with this stall owner?

When the vendors and shop owners nearby saw this scene, they all came out to watch the excitement.

 They rejoice in others' misfortune.

 Let your business be good, now something goes wrong!

 The city management is here to arrest you!

Jiang Feng was very calm. When he saw the two urban management officials, he smiled and replied:

 “I have changed the place. I am not over there at Hongshan Park recently.”

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, urban management officers Zhao Nan and Qian Bing replied:

“Okay, let’s wait in line and buy some braised pork from you later.”

 Seeing Jiang Feng chatting happily with the city management, the guests breathed a sigh of relief.

 It turned out to be acquaintance.

Several small vendors nearby heard the conversation between the two and were slightly disappointed. They all stopped watching the excitement and went about their business.

 The guest at the front of the queue asked Jiang Feng:

“Boss, have you ever set up a stall selling braised pork somewhere else?”

Jiang Feng smiled and replied:

 “I used to set up a stall selling rice bowls in other places.”

guest:.

 Rice bowl?

 Is it such a big span?

 “How is the business?” the guest asked again.

Jiang Feng thought about the scene of diners queuing up in Hongshan Park and replied with a smile:

 “Alright, some regular customers.”
