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

Jiang Feng’s stall setting up in Chang’an ended.

 The No. 1 Scholar Competition still caused quite a stir.

 The college entrance examination is a matter of concern to the entire Internet. Everyone hopes that students can achieve good results and send blessings in their own way.

The same is true for Jiang Feng.

Many candidates ate Zhuangyuan Noodles, and all the candidates approved of the eight delicious pork toppings.

 After setting up the stall in Chang'an, Jiang Feng started preparing new food non-stop.

 That’s Zongzi.

It happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and Jiang Feng’s idea is that all Jiangyue platforms will give away a rice dumpling to guests for free.

Jiang Feng himself is in charge of the Cantonese restaurant and lets other chefs take care of other restaurants.

 Mainly I want to stop by Guangdong to watch the dragon boat racing performance.

The dragon boat racing in Guangdong area is still very exciting. The villages here are rich and there are many landlords. If you win, you will be honored. If you lose, you will have to kneel in the ancestral hall.

 So the competition is fierce.

 Other places commemorate Qu Yuan, but here we just want to save Qu Yuan.

If the Guangdong Dragon Boat Team were here, Qu Yuan would have to be fished out the next second as soon as he jumped into the river.

Jiang Feng might as well join in the fun.

The making of zongzi is very simple, and for Jiang Feng, it is even more familiar.

Jiang Feng himself is a sweet rice dumpling fan. He likes to eat red date rice dumplings and candied date rice dumplings. He can also accept rice dumplings with red bean paste.

However, he can also accept salty rice dumplings, especially meat rice dumplings, and finds them delicious after getting used to them.

 But the first time he ate salted rice dumplings, he retched several times. This is because the brain and body are exposed to different signals, and the body reacts by thinking it is poisoning.

 After I overcame it, I found the salty rice dumplings delicious.

Jiang Yuetai Cantonese Restaurant, Jiang Feng came to the backstage and started making rice dumplings.

 Zong leaves and glutinous rice are ready.

 The leaves are washed clean, and they are all big leaves.

 The glutinous rice has also been soaked for several hours.

 After all, the boss is coming to the kitchen, so he must be prepared.

 “Boss, everything is ready.”

“The ingredients you want are all in the refrigerator. They were all just bought today.”

 Executive chef Xiang Jiang Fenghui reports.

 “Good, hard work.”

Jiang Feng began to check the ingredients.

He plans to make both sweet and salty rice dumplings, and there will be a variety of varieties.

For example, sweet rice dumplings, Jiang Feng plans to make candied date rice dumplings, bean paste and sesame rice dumplings, taro mashed purple potato rice dumplings, rhubarb rice candied date rice dumplings, and sweet and sour pineapple rice dumplings.

 The preparation is also simple, just boil glutinous rice with ingredients.

 Salty rice dumplings are a little more complicated.

 Before making zongzi, the glutinous rice must be seasoned.

 Add alkaline noodles first to make the cooked salty rice dumplings have a golden yellow color.

 Add baking soda to make the rice dumplings crystal clear.

 Then, add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce and mix together.

 Glutinous rice has a dark color.

 Jiang Feng also prepared a lot of salty stuffing.

 For example, rice dumplings with soy sauce meat, Orleans chicken thigh rice dumplings, crab roe and fish roe rice dumplings, salted egg yolk meat rice dumplings, traditional pork rice dumplings, Sichuan spicy meat rice dumplings and abalone roasted meat rice dumplings.

 Chinese food culture is extensive and profound.

There are dozens of ways to make just one zongzi.

Jiang Feng can only do so much by himself.

 He is busy in the kitchen.

 Because the ingredients are all ready, there is no need for an assistant to help.

 He did it all by himself.

But because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, the official account has to shoot a promotional video, so the photographer has been shooting here.

Jiang Feng occasionally explains a few words to the camera:

“When I was a kid, I loved the Dragon Boat Festival because there were rice dumplings to eat, colorful ropes to wear, and mugwort to wash your face in the morning.”

 “Children nowadays don’t seem to wear colorful ropes anymore.”

 “However, rice dumplings are still the unchanging theme of the Dragon Boat Festival.”

“We have specially prepared a lot of rice dumplings today. Customers who come to Jiangyuetai tomorrow will get one.”

 Jiang Feng started making rice dumplings.

He picked up a rice dumpling leaf, skillfully rolled it into an inverted funnel shape, added the glutinous rice and fillings, then wrapped the rice dumpling leaf, wrapped it several times with a rope, and a rice dumpling was wrapped.

The guy in charge of shooting the video was dumbfounded.

 Is this all wrapped up?

 What a fast hand speed!

 As a chef, Jiang Feng is really skillful with his hands, and it is precisely because of this that he is able to make many exquisite and complex dishes.

 It’s easy to make a rice dumpling.

This was just the beginning. Then, Jiang Feng started making rice dumplings continuously without stopping.

With a few movements of my hand, a rice dumpling was wrapped.

The guy in charge of photography became more and more impressed the more he looked at it.

This is really awesome.

There is nothing we can do. When Jiang Feng set up his stall in the past, he was so crowded with customers that he didn’t even know how many people there were.

 If you were not fast, the stall would have been crowded long ago.

 It’s completely acquired through practice.

Just like that, Jiang Feng wrapped the rice dumplings and asked the chef who was helping him to cook them.

Sweet rice dumplings and salty rice dumplings should be cooked separately, because the water in salty rice dumplings will turn into alkaline water during the cooking process, which will cause odor, so they should be cooked separately.

In addition, Jiang Feng made more salty rice dumplings, because this is Guangdong, and meat rice dumplings are eaten more often, so it is definitely no problem to prepare more.

 It’s been another busy day.

 It coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, and Jiang Feng sends blessings to people in his own way.

 On the Dragon Boat Festival, it happens to be a holiday, and many people choose to eat out.

Jiang Yuetai is people’s first choice.

The family of three entered Jiangyue Terrace and ordered several exquisite dishes. At this time, the waiter came over with a plate of rice dumplings.

"Hello, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Jiang Yuetai will give each table a rice dumpling as a gift. Do you want sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings?"

The waiter asked with a smile.

 The man glanced at the rice dumplings on the plate, a little surprised, and then said:

“Let’s have some salty rice dumplings. What do they taste like?”

“There are abalone roasted meat rice dumplings, salted egg yolk meat rice dumplings, crab roe meat rice dumplings, Orleans chicken leg rice dumplings and sauce meat rice dumplings.”

 Hearing the waiter’s introduction, the man was even more surprised.

These rice dumplings are all good rice dumplings!

 What a great product!

 As expected of Jiang Yuetai, he is truly a generous person. “But the rice dumplings given to the guests are all random, and we don’t know what the flavor of the rice dumplings you get will be.”

 The waiter said with a smile again.

"Okay, thank you."

 The man took the three rice dumplings and was satisfied.

At this time, the waiter said again:

“The rice dumplings were made by my boss himself. He was at the Cantonese restaurant yesterday and took a video and posted it on our official account platform. If you are interested, you can follow it.”

Hearing this, the woman couldn’t wait to ask:

“Who is it, Boss Jiang? You said the person making the rice dumplings is Boss Jiang?”

The waiter nodded, "Yes, it's our boss. All the rice dumplings given away by our restaurant today were made by our boss himself, without anyone else's intervention."

 “Oh my god, Boss Jiang paid for it?”

Both of them were surprised.

 They looked towards the rice dumplings.

This rice dumpling is very large and wrapped very delicately. It feels firm and thick to the touch, indicating that the materials used are sufficient and the wrapping technique is good.

The most fearful thing about eating rice dumplings is the soft ones that don’t feel securely wrapped. Even if some rice dumplings are soaked in water, the glutinous rice will seep out from the corners of the rice dumplings.

 The rice dumplings made by Jiang Feng are excellent and look very beautiful.

The waiter took the plate and left, going to serve the next table of guests.

Every table guest was surprised when they heard that the rice dumplings were made by Jiang Feng himself.

 After all, Jiang Feng’s name is now a household name, and he is truly the number one chef in China’s catering industry.

Moreover, every Jiangyuetai store he opened has received a great reputation.

 It can not only meet the needs of ordinary people for eating, but also entertain high-end guests to discuss business in the private room.

 The food tastes even better.

 So Jiang Feng is very popular among people.

“It’s a good day today. I actually caught up with Boss Jiang here!”

“Being able to eat the rice dumplings he made makes up for the regret.”

 The woman picked up a rice dumpling, feeling a little excited, and gently untied the rope on the rice dumpling.

 Then she opened the rice dumpling leaves.

 The crystal clear rice dumplings appeared immediately in front of her.

 What she opened was an abalone and roasted pork rice dumpling.

The glutinous rice shows a crystal yellow color, as if it is glowing with a layer of light. A fresh fragrance permeates the rice dumplings, with the fragrance of glutinous rice and the taste of rice dumpling leaves.

This rice dumpling looks very tempting.

 “It’s so beautifully done!”

The woman exclaimed in surprise.

She picked up the rice dumpling and bit off one corner of the rice dumpling.

 The glutinous rice tastes very strong and has an excellent texture. It has a slightly sticky feeling, but this feeling is just right.

 Because it is mixed with a variety of condiments, the glutinous rice tastes very fragrant.

 The aroma of abalone and pork permeates the glutinous rice, and the feeling is even more refreshing.

 “Oh my God, it’s delicious!”

 The woman was amazed.

 It is also a rice dumpling. This rice dumpling is not only exquisite, but also has excellent texture and taste. The experience is perfect.

 The man opened a traditional pork rice dumpling.

Pork has been carefully cooked by Jiang Feng, and the taste is inherently fragrant.

Put it in the seasoned glutinous rice, and the various flavors are mixed together, making it even more delicious.

 Before eating, the family of three ate all the rice dumplings.

 At the table next to me, there are two guests from the north who want sweet rice dumplings.

Although making sweet rice dumplings is simple, the sweet rice dumplings made by Jiang Feng are also different.

Once the rice dumpling leaves are opened, the whole glutinous rice appears white. The rice grains are very fine and tightly stuck together. There are two red dates hidden in it, dyeing the surrounding glutinous rice a light orange-red color.

 For those who love sweet rice dumplings, the orange-red part is actually the most delicious.

Sweet rice dumplings are like a kind of dessert, with a soft and glutinous texture. They taste fragrant and leave a fragrance in your mouth.

 The guests also enjoyed their meal.

 The guests at every table were talking excitedly.

 “Is this really all done by Boss Jiang?”

“It tastes really good, it just tastes better!”

“Jiang Yuetai sent the video and it took a whole day. It was indeed him who did it!”

“It’s really good. I haven’t eaten the dishes he cooked, but I ate the rice dumplings he made!”

 “What a coincidence!”

 Being able to eat the delicacies made by Jiang Feng has become a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

 After all, Jiang Feng has set up stalls in many places, and many people have eaten his food.

Similarly, many people also want to check out Jiangfeng’s delicious food.

It's a pity that Jiang Feng has set up stalls less often now. Every time he sets up a stall, a large group of people line up, making it difficult to get food.

 It just depends on luck.

 At this moment, Jiang Feng is by the river, watching the dragon boat race here.

 The people competing were really fierce, and the dragon boats were speeding on the river as if they were equipped with motors.

 Some races have to go through complicated rivers, and these people also have to manually control the turns.

 Competitive Laman.

The scene is really exciting.

 In many other places, dragon boat racing is just a small activity, as long as it's fun.

 There is really a struggle here.

 There were so many people watching.

People cheered and laughed, and many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the dragon boat.

At this time, someone shouted:

 “Damn it! Isn’t that Boss Jiang?”

 Then, many people’s attention was focused on Jiang Feng.

 As the dragon boat passed by, people came to take photos with Jiang Feng.

 This is what a festival should be like, it needs to be lively and lively.

 The warmer the atmosphere, the more festive it is.

Jiang Feng graciously agreed to the photo request.

 Many people have completed the achievement of checking in Jiang Feng.

This Dragon Boat Festival is destined to be very memorable. (End of chapter)
