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

Jiang Feng rested for three days, wandering around Hangzhou while looking for restaurants and chefs.

During this time, many local people knew that he was coming.

 Especially students from the University of Science and Technology.

After eating snail rice noodles, I really couldn’t forget it.

 Many people are still discussing it.

“I finally know why so many people are looking for him online, and now I also want to know where he went to set up a stall.”

 “Hurry up and show up, Chef Jiang, I’m tired of fast food!”

 “Who knows where he is setting up a stall now.”

 “It would be nice to know.”

That steaming bowl of snail noodles, after eating the rice noodles and side dishes, followed by a bowl of hot, delicious and delicious soup, mixed with the feeling of satisfaction that comes up all over the body, makes people never forget it.

 Looking back now, I feel very comfortable.

 Some people have eaten it several times and find it delicious every time they eat it.

 You can imagine how delicious the snail noodles are.

More

 The skin of the chicken feet is completely flavorful, crispy and fragrant when chewed, it is perfect.

At this moment, Jiang Feng is waiting for the next task of the system.

 After all, if you complete three tasks, you will be rewarded with a restaurant.

This is pretty good.

The system can also achieve diners’ satisfaction.

 A win-win situation.

 Not long after, the system prompt sounded:

　　【Start the stall setting task in Hangzhou (2/3): Set up a stall to sell roast duck at a designated location in Hangzhou for seven consecutive days, and entertain 100 diners every day. 】

 【Task Reward: Restaurant Reward】

  【Get: Roast Duck Recipe】

  【Task start period: within two days】

【Whether to accept? 】

Jiang Feng naturally chose to accept it.

However, he immediately became slightly confused.

 Set up a stall selling roast duck?

Logically speaking, roast duck is eaten in roast duck restaurants.

The store can cut up fresh roast duck, add thin noodles, fried sauce, cucumbers, and green onions, put it on a plate, and serve it to customers.

 It is also convenient to eat.

 Now, the system specifies setting up a stall to sell roast duck.

  It undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty.

But now there is indeed a business of setting up stalls selling roast duck.

 Some of them come out with ovens and sell roasted ducks directly, and customers can go back and cut them up themselves.

 There are also those selling a complete set of roast duck.

There is no other way, renting a shop is too expensive and troublesome, so many people who set up stalls developed the practice of setting up stalls to sell roast duck.

Jiang Feng has already begun to figure out how to set up a stall.

 It’s not very difficult to do.

 It’s just a matter of preparing the oven, preparing the fried sauce, cutting the cucumbers and green onions, and preparing some thin pancakes.

Jiang Feng went to the place designated by the system to check the situation.

 Selling roast duck is a good business.

Jiang Feng is still looking forward to the roast duck.

 Soon, he arrived at the place designated by the system.

This place is a square in Xiasha University Town, where many small vendors set up stalls.

The most outstanding thing here is the large number of college students. There are a total of 14 universities nearby.

 At night or on weekends, a large number of young college students come out.

And there are many local residents.

Jiang Feng stood in the center of the square, looking at the surrounding environment, and suddenly felt a chill.

 He seemed to realize that if the roast duck became popular, he might be surrounded by hungry college students every day.

 The college students here have been hungry for a long time.

 “But don’t get too angry.”

 “Just a little business will be enough.”

“I prepare 30 roast ducks every day. One roast duck is enough for four people. I can entertain 100 diners no matter what.”

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

 I don’t want to make myself too popular, and stall owners like him are rare.

The key is that Jiangfeng itself has its own traffic. Once it is promoted by college students, the news will spread very quickly.

 Perhaps within two days, all the surrounding universities will know about it.

Jiang Feng thought to himself, it’s better to wear a mask.

 Cannot be exposed.

 Otherwise, the roast duck would simply not be enough.

 Just a little bit of business will be enough.

 There is no need to worry about the initial business, because Jiang Feng plans to start setting up a stall on Friday night.

The customer flow on Friday is very large. Even if it is not famous, it is enough to sell out the roast duck just relying on natural traffic.

After inspecting the stall location, Jiang Feng took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Sun Zhuangfei:

 “Are you busy? Get ready for action tomorrow.”

 Not long after, Sun Zhuangfei replied:

 “Okay, boss.”

 “What’s for sale this week?”

Jiang Feng responded:

 “Prepare to sell roast duck.”

Sun Zhuangfei: "No problem."

 Jiang Feng made an appointment with him on a time to come over.

 The two of them still have to pick out the duck, prepare the oven for roasting the duck, and prepare the ingredients for the fried sauce.

Jiang Feng is planning to sell freshly cut roast duck set meals.

The meat of ducks has a relatively bland taste, especially roast duck. No matter how marinated it is, except for the thin layer of skin that tastes good, the taste inside the meat is also very bland.

This is different from grilled chicken, chicken is easier to taste. Therefore, the best way to make roast duck is to smear it with sauce, add greasy cucumbers and green onions, and roll it into soft pancakes to eat.

 In this case, the taste of the sauce can improve the taste of the duck meat, the duck meat can provide the texture of the meat, and the cucumber and green onion can provide a refreshing feeling.

 Perfect combination.

 The next day, Jiang Feng and Sun Zhuangfei bought the prepared whole duck and went to the previously rented shop to prepare roast duck.

 “Boss, what should I do next?”

Sun Zhuangfei asked.

“You follow me and learn how to wash a duck, how to stuff a duck, how to blow a duck, how to sew a duck, and then you handle the duck.”

Jiang Feng arranged the way.

"Ok, no problem."

Jiang Feng began to handle the ducks with his own hands.

The ducks have their wings removed, the insides are stuffed with ingredients, marinated for a period of time, then blown up, scalded directly with boiling water on the skin, and then hung on hooks.

 The raw duck meat is hanging one by one, looking particularly plump.

Then, Sun Zhuangfei was responsible for handling and hanging the ducks.

Jiang Feng is about to start making crispy paste.

 Mix up the starch paste, then boil the red vinegar and maltose together.

It is best to use red Zhejiang vinegar. The color of the vinegar shows a transparent orange-red color. When the time comes, it will adhere to the duck meat and make the duck meat appear red and translucent.

 Pour the starch paste into the pot when the time comes.

 Simmer this pot of crispy paste until it has a light pink color.

 The pulp is also prepared.

 Then take the prepared roast ducks one by one, and pour the crispy paste from top to bottom, making sure that all the skin of the roast duck is covered.

 In this way, the preliminary preparation work is completed.

This will have to wait a little longer.

 Let the crispy paste on the skin dry before baking in the oven.

 The roasted duck is red and bright.

The two of them were busy for a while.

 The workload is not small.

 The roast duck recipe mastered by Jiang Feng is simple but not simple. The ingredients he prepares are carefully proportioned to ensure the most perfect presentation.

The duck that has been drizzled with crispy sauce is just hanging on the suspension.

“Boss, do you know what I thought of when I saw these ducks?”

Sun Zhuangfei asked.

Jiang Feng didn’t look like he had anything nice to say, but he still asked:

 “What did you think of?”

"I think of the pigs in the cave of Zhu Ganghye in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. This is how the pigs are roasted. They are hung up one by one, stuffed in the belly, and roasted in the oven."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng was speechless.

 This is how roast chicken, roast duck, and roast suckling pig are originally made, and the movie was made based on this method.

“Will you eat it when it’s cooked?” Jiang Feng asked calmly.

“Eat it, of course you have to eat it. If the boss cooks it, you have to eat it.”

Sun Zhuangfei responded quickly, fearing that Jiang Feng would not let him eat roast duck.

I have been busy all the way, every step is clean and delicate, and it comes naturally.

Although the roast duck has not yet entered the oven, it has been marinated, blown, and blanched in the early stages. It is also specially sprayed with crispy skin paste, left for a while, and dried with a hair dryer.

With just these few steps, it’s hard to make the roast duck delicious!

 If the cooking method is authentic, the taste will definitely be authentic.

  Roast duck also requires skills, especially the need to control the temperature and heat.

Some people buy their own ovens to cook roast duck, but the duck that comes out is all burnt and black. There are always some parts that are black, and the roasted duck cannot be red and bright.

 Jiang Feng has a good grasp of the heat.

After the roast duck was drizzled with crispy pulp and rested for a few hours, he took the oven and put the duck in to bake.

  It doesn’t need to be baked for too long, just an hour at 200 degrees.

 Duck: Thank you Lao Tie for the warmth.

 Soon, the ducks were put into the oven one by one by Jiang Feng.

 As the temperature rises, the duck slowly changes.

After only an hour, Jiang Feng took out the ducks from the oven one by one.

The moment the roast duck was taken out, Sun Zhuangfei's eyes lit up.

The duck is a bright orange-red color, and its skin seems to be glowing.

The whole thing seems to be crystallized and looks crispy.

Jiang Feng hung the roast ducks one by one on the shelf.

 Then, roast the second wave of duck.

Jiang Feng prepared thirty-two roast ducks, and he must prepare some for himself.

 The pancakes have been steamed, and there is also sweet noodle sauce in the basin.

Jiang Feng cut some more cucumber strips and green onions.

 Materials are all ready.

They were both hungry, so they sat at a table nearby and started eating roast duck.

Jiang Feng took a duck and quickly used the blade to cut the duck meat.

 Slice pieces of duck meat and place them on the table.

Seeing this, Sun Zhuangfei was filled with envy.

Jiang Feng’s knife skills are very good.

 This kind of skill is beyond his ability.

After waiting for the duck slices to come down, Jiang Feng held a round thin pancake in his left hand, grabbed two pieces of duck meat in his right hand, dipped it in the sweet noodle sauce, and then spread the excess sauce evenly on the pancake.

 Put the duck meat on top, and add some cucumber strips and green onion strips.

  Roll up the thin pancake.

 Put it in your mouth like this.

 In an instant, the wonderful flavor blooms from the roast duck.

 The flavor of the noodles, the flavor of the sweet noodle sauce, the duck meat is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned with cucumber and green onions.

 The taste is really good. (End of chapter)
