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

Chapter 4 Exquisite Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe!

 The stall was successfully set up on the first day.

Jiang Feng packed up his things, cleaned up, fixed the tables and chairs on the dining car, then drove the "mobile dining car" and left directly.

The colleagues setting up stalls around me looked envious.

　Today’s young people are really neat and tidy in doing things.

 The stall was closed so quickly!

 His business is good.

  Could it be said that it is better to sell rice bowls by setting up a stall?

 It shouldn’t be either!

 In the past, some people set up stalls to sell rice bowls, but not many people bought them.

 How about we try rice bowl instead?

 It’s only around 5:30 in the afternoon, so it’s still early.

Jiang Feng didn’t want to be too busy, he planned to leave some time for himself.

 In his previous life, he studied hard since childhood and was admitted to a prestigious school. After graduation, he worked in a large technology factory and was exhausted every day.

With the system around him in this life, Jiang Feng just wants to find something he likes to do.

His home is in an old community in the suburbs. The communities are all six floors and there is no elevator.

 Because it is a suburb, there is less traffic and fewer people.

Jiang Feng has a dilapidated storefront outside the community, with a stove and kitchen inside. There was a restaurant here before, but there were too few people and the restaurant closed down.

Jiang Feng parked the mobile food truck in the shop yard and then simply tidied it up.

Jiang Feng plans to buy a better house after completing the first task, preferably one with a small yard.

It's still early today, Jiang Feng plans to go to the pet market and pick out a cat or dog.

 Jiang Feng likes both cats and dogs very much, so it’s good to keep them.

Especially if you bind the God of Cookery system yourself, there is no shortage of ingredients, and it is also convenient to feed cats and dogs.

Jiang Feng started to clean up the dining car. He was quite responsible and not an unscrupulous businessman.

After everything was taken care of, Jiang Feng went back to the house.

 Play with your mobile phone, go shopping in the afternoon, look at the cats and dogs, and order some ingredients.

 Sold more than 200 rice bowls in one afternoon, with an average profit of 7 yuan per serving, and a total profit of about 1,400 yuan.

This is normal, firstly, the profit of the rice bowl is relatively large, secondly, the location of Jiang Fengxuan is good, and thirdly, there are many customers, and more and more.

 The income from better stalls is very considerable.

 In the next few days, Jiang Feng doesn't have to worry about his guests.

When Jiang Feng returned home, he first prepared to try out the sweet and sour pork recipe based on the newly acquired recipe. He then tasted it for himself and had it for dinner.

 He prepared pork tenderloin, eggs, starch, flour, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, and tomato juice.

 Then start taking action.

To make sweet and sour pork, the first step is to marinate the meat.

 Cut the pork tenderloin into long strips as thick as your fingers, then add cooking wine, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce, coat with egg liquid, spread evenly with your hands, and marinate for more than 20 minutes.

 While marinating, Jiang Feng started to adjust the sauce.

  3 spoons of tomato paste, 1 spoon of white vinegar, one spoon of sugar, one spoon of starch, half a bowl of water, stir well and set aside.

 Wait until the tenderloin and sauce are ready.

 Pour oil into the pan, heat the pan, and wait for the oil to come up. The most suitable temperature for frying tenderloin is around 160 degrees.

 As long as you insert the chopsticks into the oil pan, if you see small bubbles around the chopsticks, it means it is ready for frying.

 Wrap the marinated tenderloin in flour until it is white and plump, put it into an oil pan, fry it over medium heat until the surface is slightly brown.

 After frying for the first time, take it out, then turn on the fire, let the oil temperature rise to 200 degrees, immediately pour it in and fry again.

 Unique pickling formula and unique frying method.

 Simply fry the tenderloin in the oil pan for 40 seconds and the tenderloin is fried successfully.

 Then, take another pot, pour a little oil, add the prepared tomato sauce, and cook until bubbles appear.

 Put the fried tenderloin in and stir-fry so that every tenderloin is covered with sauce.

Looking at it again, every strip of tenderloin has turned orange, glowing with crystal oil, and each root is crystal clear, golden and crispy.

 It looks sweet and delicious.

Jiang Feng poured the stir-fried tenderloin into the plate, and finally sprinkled some black sesame seeds and chopped green onion for decoration.

 The crystal clear orange tenderloin, paired with green chopped green onions and black sesame seeds, is simply a work of art.

 The smell makes people appetite even more!

 No wonder the diners in the afternoon were so enthusiastic. Jiang Feng's dishes are of truly master-level quality, and can be sold for two to three hundred yuan in a high-end restaurant.

 Now if you divide a part of it and make it into a rice bowl, you can sell it for ten or twenty yuan, which is definitely worth the money.

Jiang Feng doesn’t plan to sell it too expensively. He will set up a stall for 7 days first, complete system tasks, and earn the 5 million reward.

 Many sweet and sour pork loin are sticky and the sauce doesn’t feel good.

The tenderloin fried by Jiangfeng is not only bright in color and shiny, but also looks clear and clean overall.

Jiang Feng scooped a bowl of rice for himself, and then ate sweet and sour pork with a small pickle. It felt quite good.

 After eating, Jiang Feng went to the butcher shop and personally selected some good pork tenderloin.

 The boss was a little surprised when he saw that he bought such a large amount, and asked:

 “Are you planning a banquet? Order so many?”

“If you need it, I’ll send it to you next time. I’m sure it will be good stuff.”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng replied: "If I have time, I will choose it myself. If I don't have time, I will call you and you can just deliver it."

　　“Just don’t kill them, I’m a long-term business.”

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, the boss immediately laughed and said hurriedly:

 “No way, I’m not that kind of person.”

“You get what you pay for, if you want the best, I will definitely only prepare it for you.”

Jiang Feng visited several vegetable markets and butcher shops, checking out the goods and comparing products.

 He is a relatively rigorous person.

 In comparison, this boss’s products are the best, and his people are relatively kind.

 “Okay, just order this much.”

 “If there is any need, I will contact you again.”

Jiang Feng placed the order.

 “No problem, keep in touch.”

 That night, Jiang Feng went to bed very early.

 The next morning, Jiang Feng tidied up briefly. At about 11 o'clock, he drove the "mobile dining truck" and drove all the way to the corner of the park.

 The dining car is a "cartoon bus" equipped with kitchen utensils, a spice box stove and a simple refrigerator.

 It is extremely convenient to set up a stall.

When Jiang Feng was approaching, he was surprised to find that many people were already surrounding the open space over there.

He was still thinking about why there were so many people today, when he heard someone shout:

 “Coming! Coming! He’s coming!”

 “Finally here!”

“Boss, come and cook quickly, we are waiting for you!”

 “I’ve been waiting since I got off work.”

Hearing everyone’s shouts, Jiang Feng couldn’t laugh or cry.

 He thought that setting up a stall was a freelance job, but he never expected that so many people were urging him to go to work!

 When the car stopped, Jiang Feng said to everyone:

“Everyone, wait a moment. I’ll open the stall first and arrange the tables and chairs.”

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, a person immediately said:

“Boss, you can just cook. I’ll take care of setting up the tables and chairs.”

 “I want a fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl first!”

 After he finished speaking, someone next to him responded:

 “I want two meat rice bowls, chicken legs and fish-flavored shredded pork! I’ll help too.”

Several people were anxious, so they took the initiative to help set up tables and chairs.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng immediately turned on the natural gas, lit the stove, and was ready to start cooking!

 It seems that today is destined to be another busy afternoon.
