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

Chapter 23 is closed? Closing the stall now?

  12 noon, it’s lunch time.

In the Urban Management Bureau canteen, Zhao Nan and Qian Bing returned from duty and went to the canteen to get food.

The two of them were also carrying a plastic bag in their hands, which looked like it contained some delicious food.

 They put the plastic bags on the dining table, then took the dinner plates to get some food.

Several colleagues nearby immediately gathered around.

“Zhao Nan, what good things did you buy here?”

 A city manager asked.

 “Braised pork, duck intestines and chicken gizzards.” Zhao Nan said with a smile.

 “Okay, we’ll also add food, please open it quickly and let’s have a taste.”

 Those who can eat together at the same dining table usually have a better relationship, and if something delicious is put out, everyone will eat it together.

Zhao Nan and Qian Bing opened the plastic bags. Inside were transparent lunch boxes containing two boxes of duck intestines, one box of chicken gizzards, and one box of chicken wings.

 After the lunch box was opened, everyone took their chopsticks. Some picked up a chicken wing, some picked up some duck intestines, and immediately put them into their mouths.

  Zhao Nan and Qian Bing also immediately picked up the braised pork and ate it.

 Everyone was amazed by the sauce of the braised pork when they took the first bite.

Even though the braised pork has been cooled down, it is completely flavorful because it has been marinated, and it is cooked with pure natural stock, without any technology or labor.

Even if it is cold, it still tastes delicious.

 “Well, this duck intestine is very good!”

 A city manager was amazed.

“It’s so crispy and the marinade is delicious. I’ll buy some from wherever you can buy it.”

At this time, the city manager next to him also said:

“The chicken wings are also delicious. The meat inside is marinated. It’s so fragrant!”

Everyone was so excited that they started picking up the duck intestines with their chopsticks.

The city manager at the next table saw this and came over to add some food.

　　We are all working on the front line. We are among the hardest working people in the bureau, and we all have a good relationship.

With just a few chopsticks, the duck intestines, chicken gizzards, and chicken wings were divided cleanly.

 Everyone’s face was full of happy expressions.

“Qian Bing, where did you two buy it? The braised food in this store is quite authentic. It’s perfect to buy some for drinking at night!”

 At this time, a city manager said again.

Hearing his words, the person next to him reminded:

 “Keep your voice down, drinking is prohibited in the station recently, don’t let the leader hear you.”

 Everyone looked at Zhao Nan and Qian Bing, waiting for their reply.

Qian Bing deliberately put it off and said with a smile: "Guess where I bought it?"

 “Damn, who could have guessed this!”

“Hurry up and tell me, I have to go check out such a good store.”

 “Which chain braised meat restaurant is it?”

 “Zhou Hei Ya? Juewei Duck Neck? Are there any other stores?”

 Everyone laughed.

At this time, Qian Bing revealed the answer:

“Remember the rice bowl stall where we ate on the morning shift last week?”

“That guy is not selling rice bowls this week. He is setting up a stall selling braised pork at Shuize Resort.”

 “This is where we bought our braised pork!”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what he said.

“Real or false? That guy who sells rice bowls? His rice bowls are particularly delicious. Why are you making braised pork again?”

 “It’s him, no wonder it tastes so good!”

 “This guy is awesome. He cooks delicious stir-fried vegetables and braised pork!”

"Shui Ze Resort? It's not far from us. You can go by and have a look when you're on duty."

 Everyone chatted while eating.

 After eating some braised pork as an appetizer, they found the canteen food a bit bitter and salty, but they could still eat it.

The city management officials learned from Qian Bing that Jiang Feng was selling braised pork, and they were very interested.

Zhao Nan added:

“His business is very good, there are still many people lining up in front of the stall, all of them are old customers.”

“The food this man makes is delicious, and there are people from Hongshan Park who go to him to buy it.”

 “Just look for him!”

Hearing what Zhao Nan said, the urban management man next to him agreed:

"It's really delicious. The braised pork just now is also good. If he still does catering, I really want to buy some."

A few people were chatting about Jiang Feng as a topic after dinner.

 Similar conversations are happening in many places.

Even though Jiang Feng is a hawker, his food is clean and tastes great, and his influence among the people has begun to show.

If there really is a chef in China, he must not be bragging about it on the show.

Rather, it creates an impact bit by bit in the human fireworks, making people believe in it.

Jiang Feng didn’t care about his reputation.

 I just feel that the braised pork sold out very quickly today.    Faster than yesterday.

It was only one o'clock at noon, and there wasn't much braised pork left in the pot.

Pork trotters, duck intestines, and duck racks have long been sold out.

Chicken gizzards and chicken feet have just been bought.

 There are a few chicken legs and a little pork head left.

With one or two more business deals, Jiang Feng planned to go home.

The remaining meat can be used as lunch by yourself, and you can also feed the little black dog by the way.

 “It’s almost sold out.”

“That’s right, business hasn’t stopped since I came here.”

 “There are still many guests.”

Jiang Feng thought secretly.

 He just planned to complete the task and get off work after selling 200 kilograms.

Considering that there are many people buying it, I prepared more, about 340 kilograms.

 Unexpectedly, this is the case, and the business is done very quickly.

“Boss, here’s half a pound of chicken feet.”

 At this time, another guest came.

 “I’m sorry, the chicken feet are sold out, only the chicken legs and pig heads are left.”

 “Get ready to close the stall!”

Jiang Feng responded.

 “Are they sold?” The guests were a little surprised.

 It’s only 1pm!

 Is anyone closing their stalls so early?

There was a guest behind him. When he heard this, he immediately said:

“Boss, bring me two chicken legs and half a pound of pork head.”

The guy at the back probably won't be able to buy it.

Hearing the people behind him shouting, the guest immediately said:

“I want half a pound of pork head and a chicken drumstick.”

"OK."

Jiang Feng weighed the meat for the two of them and packed it into boxes.

 Then, Jiang Feng got down from the dining car and began to take off the sign and close the dining car.

 At this time, another diner came over.

“Boss, you’ll have a rest later, I want two pig’s trotters!”

The diner thought Jiang Feng was going to the toilet or to eat, so he hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng responded:

 “I am not resting, I am closing the stall.”

“All the braised pork is sold out, only three chicken drumsticks are left.”

 “Ready to go back.”

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, the guest was stunned.

“The stall has been closed? The stall is closed now?”

Jiang Feng said with a smile: "All the meat braised today has been sold out, and the stall must be closed down."

“There are three more drumsticks, right? Then I want them all.”

 “You want two, and I’ll keep one.”

"OK."

The guest paid, Jiang Feng fished out two chicken drumsticks for him, and then the guest left.

The remaining chicken leg, Jiang Feng saw that no one was paying attention, so he fed it to Xiao Hei.

 I originally planned to leave some more for Xiao Hei, but business is good, so I can’t help it.



Xiao Hei didn't feel aggrieved at all and ate happily in the basin.

Taking advantage of the lack of people, Jiang Feng packed up the dining car and drove the dining car directly out of the resort.

 Seeing him leave, the stall owners around him looked envious.

He is so cool, he came here to set up a stall for three hours, and customers lined up to buy.

 After buying, just close the stall and leave.

 There is no one else who can set up a stall like this.

●Today’s young people are really awesome!

Stall owners continue to be busy with their business. Occasionally, customers come over and ask them if there is a braised pork store nearby.

 The bosses will sigh:

"Yes, the stall has been closed. The braised pork was sold out at 1 o'clock, so I went back directly."

 Hearing what the stall owner said, the customers were both surprised and disappointed.

 The stall is closed now?

 Looks like I’ll have to come early tomorrow.
