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

Chapter 8 Master, don’t run away, I’m not here to catch you!

In the morning, Jiang Feng got on the dining car bus and drove all the way towards Hongshan Park.

There are more people waiting for him today.

 “Come on, give way.”

Jiang Feng drove the dining car bus to the previous location. When he got close to the crowd, Jiang Feng began to slow down.

“Boss, you’re finally here, I’m waiting for you!”

"me too!"

 “Boss, come here earlier next time, I’m starved to death!”

 “Give me a fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl first!”

 People are very enthusiastic.

Jiang Feng opened the stall, arranged the tables and chairs with the help of the guests, and prepared to open the stall.

Diners look at today’s menu.

 Excellent meat dishes: Kung Pao Chicken, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork, Sweet and Sour Pork

 Exquisite vegetarian dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mushrooms and green vegetables

 The pancake vendor was the first in line. He saw the slogan on the menu and said:

 “There’s more Kung Pao Chicken today!”

 “Then give me a Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl!”

 After two days of observation, he finally understood it.

Jiang Feng is a great chef, and there is no dish that is not delicious.

 If there are new varieties, just eat them directly.

“Okay, a Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl, just sit there and wait, it will be ready soon.”

Jiang Feng greeted.

To make Kung Pao Chicken, take chicken leg meat, remove the bones and cut into cubes, then add light soy sauce, cooking wine, and starch to the chicken to taste.

 A good recipe requires special treatment of the meat before stir-frying, pan-frying or deep-frying it. For example, sweet and sour pork tenderloin must be marinated in advance, and fish-flavored shredded pork must be sizing with egg liquid and starch in advance.

Jiang Feng has prepared enough diced chicken.

 For the sauce, use sugar, vinegar, starch, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, and starch in the ratio of 4:4:2:2:1:1.

In addition, cut the onion, **** and garlic into cubes, and cut the dried chili pepper into pieces.

 Prepare some fried peanuts.

The side dishes of Kung Pao Chicken are ready.

 Serious speculation does not require much effort.

 Here in a pan and heat oil.

Jiang Feng poured in peanut oil and a little lard, then used a shovel to scoop up some dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, and put them in the pot to fry.

The chili pepper enters the oil pan, and there is a "sizzling" sound all around.

 When the peppers turned brown, Jiang Feng added diced chicken and began to stir-fry the meat.

 As soon as the marinated chicken is fried in the pot, the flavor will come out instantly.

The diners did not sit down, but just watched Jiang Feng cooking, as if they were afraid of missing something.

Jiang Feng saw that the diced chicken was fried a little hot, so he immediately added onions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry the meat until fragrant.

Just now it was just an ordinary meat smell, but this time it was mixed with the smell of seasonings, going straight into people's nostrils, making the mouth secrete some saliva.

Jiang Feng continues to stir-fry, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir-fry until the juice dries up and the flavor is attached to the diced chicken. Finally, add peanuts, mix well, and then put it on a plate and take it out of the pot.

 Authentic Kung Pao Chicken, the cooking method is very particular.

 The first choice of ingredients is to use skin-on chicken thighs, so as to ensure a smooth and tender texture. If it were replaced with chicken breast, it would be old and burnt, with residue in the mouth, and the taste would be much worse.

The second thing is the heat of the stir-fry. This depends on the chili peppers. The chili peppers should be deep red and have a slightly burnt feeling, which is the authentic Kung Pao Chicken.

If the Kung Pao Chicken and Chili comes out bright red, it is a substandard dish.

 The last step is to process the gravy. It should not be too thin or too thick.

 Too thick and sticky, too thin and bland.

 The juice should be collected beautifully and neatly. If there is soup and water flowing down in the pot, it will neither look good nor taste good.

Jiang Feng treats Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Fish-flavored Pork in this way, so that every drop of gravy is evenly wrapped on the meat.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

Diners don't understand the twists and turns here. They only know that Jiang Feng's dishes look good and taste good.

 This is enough.

Not long after, a plate of Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl was brought to the pancake seller.

　　The big brother selling pancakes was satisfied with the smell of meat.

He couldn't help but say before eating:

“Jiang Feng, with your skills, this place will be very popular in the future!”

Hearing what the vendor said, Jiang Feng replied:

 “I am setting up a stall here this week, but I may go somewhere else next week.”

 The pancake seller felt his heart skip a beat when he heard what he said.

What?

 Leaving next week?

Jiang Feng didn’t know what tasks the system would issue.

 Be sure to adjust the location according to the task.     “You’re kidding me.”

"If you leave, I'm afraid the diners will have to launch a missing person notice to find you."

 The pancake seller said half-jokingly.

Jiang Feng stopped responding and just returned to the dining car, busy placing the next order for the next diner.

 The pancake seller mixed the Kung Pao chicken, then scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth.

The stir-fried diced chicken is smooth and glutinous, evenly coated with gravy, and the taste of the carefully cooked sauce fills your mouth.

 After chewing it, the diced chicken is bitten open, and the meat tendons are still connected. The meaty aroma blooms in the mouth, making people instantly addicted.

delicious!

 The pancake seller seemed to have a light in his eyes!

 At this time, two customers came to his pancake stall. Seeing that there was no one there, they shouted:

 “Is the pancake seller here?”

Hearing the voices of the diners, the eldest brother shouted while eating the rice bowl:

 “Wait a minute, I’ll go over after finishing the rice bowl!”

 The two diners looked back, feeling a little confused.

what's the situation?

The pancake seller didn't spread the pancakes properly, so he went next door to eat rice bowls?

 The two looked at the queue and looked at each other.

“Let’s try the rice bowl too? There are a lot of people.” The first person hesitated.

Most people have difficulty choosing, also known as "I can eat whatever I want", but they just have no choice.

 “Eat!” The other one simply said a lot.

 Sometimes you just need a friend like this.

"good!"

 The two of them also went to the back of the queue and lined up.

At noon in Hongshan Park, there were square dancing aunts dancing gracefully while listening to "Wumeng Mountain Connects the Mountains Outside the Mountain".

 There was an old man who was leaning against a big tree and bumped against the tree.

There is also a pair of old men wearing white exercise uniforms, doing Tai Chi slowly.

 There are young people in a hurry on the roadside.

 In a corner of the park, there are some vendors setting up stalls.

 There was a dining car bus among them, and there was a long queue of more than 20 people in front of it.

A young man wearing a chef's uniform was cooking with a spatula in the dining cart.

  Life is like this, in all kinds of ways.

The little black dog was tied by a dog leash and squatting next to the dining car.

 It is not afraid when seeing guests, and even wag its little tail, as if to welcome the guests.

 Guests often smile knowingly when they see it.

 After having an owner, the little black dog is no longer cautious, and his eyes have become clearer and braver.

 After all, if you have a family, you will have confidence.

At this moment, an urban management vehicle drove slowly from the road.

In the car, the two urban management officials were still discussing.

"Qian Bing said he wasn't here? Didn't he look?"

 A city manager muttered.

The two urban management officers were on patrol today. After the urban management officer who patrolled yesterday came back, everyone praised a small vendor selling rice bowls, which was very positive.

Seeing how excited and excited they were talking about it, the two urban management officials decided to come and have a taste today.

 “Ask someone.”

 Another urban management official spoke.

At this time, they noticed an old man selling socks, nail clippers and other tools on the roadside.

The two of them got into the car and drove towards the uncle.

“Uncle, is there anyone selling rice bowls near Hongshan Park?”

One of them asked.

The uncle was sitting on the pony, still half asleep and half awake, staring in confusion.

Hearing someone calling him, he thought it was a guest.

 He opened his eyes and looked up, good guys, two city managers!

 The uncle was so frightened that he was no longer sleepy in an instant.

Then, without listening to what the city manager said, he lowered his head and collected the four corners of the stall that was spread on the ground. He picked up the stall and the small stool under his arm, turned around and ran away.

“Uncle, don’t run away. I’m not arresting you. Let’s ask if there’s anyone selling rice bowls nearby!”

 An urban management officer saw this and shouted to the uncle’s back.

 Hearing his words, a sneer appeared at the corner of the uncle's mouth.

 Don’t run?



Ah! Want to lie to me? Fishing law enforcement?

 You are still young!

 The uncle quickly turned into a small alley and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the street, only two urban management officers were left looking at each other.
