Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall?

Happy Ranch.

Zhang Xinya rode an electric bicycle back to the living area, carrying a large bag in her left hand and right hand, carrying a total of more than 30 kilograms of braised pork as she walked home.

"Dad, I bought it."

"This braised pork smells really good."

Zhang Xinya walked into the room and put the braised pork on the table.

Then, she took out disposable gloves from the bag and put them on her hands, opened a plastic box, and wanted to taste the pig's trotters inside.

Zhang Dashan walked out and smelled the smell of braised pork. He didn't wear gloves and just grabbed the pig's trotters to eat.

The pig's trotters are still hot.

When Zhang Xinya took her first bite, she was instantly attracted by the wonderful taste and unique texture of pig's trotters.

The pork trotters fall off the bones with just a slight pull. The meat is particularly delicious. After one bite, there is only the taste of rich soup without any odor.

The pig's trotters were fresh and the soup was delicious. With just one bite, she knew that a lot of thought had gone into the preparation of the pig's trotters.

The pork was stewed just right, and when you bite it lightly with your teeth, the meat broke apart, leaving only a few tendons still attached.

It tastes particularly elastic when chewed.

The soup stock is particularly fragrant, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes with the secretion of saliva in your mouth.

The body seemed to be aroused by this delicious food and became comfortable.

"Wow, that's great!"

“No wonder it’s only two o’clock in the afternoon and the stall is ready to be closed!”

Zhang Xinya's eyes lit up and she exclaimed.

Zhang Dashan's eating style was much wilder. He picked up half a pig's trotter and bit directly towards the place with the most meat.

One bite and your mouth is full of meat.

The soup stock is a special formula prepared by Jiang Feng, using more than a dozen ingredients. There were seven chickens, a lot of pork skins, and a lot of pork bones put in the pot, and they were cooked for eight hours.

The essence of the meat is melted into the soup stock.

Then stew the braised pork, and the flavor is integrated into every cell of the braised pork.

Eat it in one bite and it will be as fresh as you like.

There is no place that is not delicious.

"Well, not bad."

Zhang Dashan was so surprised that he ate and gnawed all the pig's trotters in a few times, leaving only a few white bones.

Pig's trotters are an excellent delicacy. These pig's trotters taste even better after Jiang Feng's special cooking.

Because Jiang Feng added sugar color to the pig's trotters pot, the color of the pig's trotters is extra red and looks good.

"These pig's trotters are so delicious, why did you buy four of them?"

Zhang Dashan asked.

A pig's trotter costs more than 50 yuan, so I can't afford it without any money. Zhang Dashan's family is relatively wealthy and he has always been arrogant in eating meat, so he doesn't care about this little money.

Hearing what Zhang Dashan said, Zhang Xinya replied:

"There are only four left, I bought them all."

"That guy's business is good and he's ready to close his stall. If I go there late, I won't be able to buy anything."

Zhang Dashan picked up another pig's trotter and didn't wait to eat it while drinking in the evening. He would eat it now when he felt comfortable.

The pig's trotters were completely stewed and tasted so good. When I took a bite, my mouth was filled with pig's trotters meat.

He took two bites and said:

"It tastes really good. Go there early tomorrow and buy some more pig trotters."

"This guy is a master at braised food, and he's ready to open a shop."

"Why don't we let him open the store to the ranch? We have no shortage of meat here. If the ranch earns some share, we can make a lot of money."

Zhang Dashan pondered.

He is a shrewd man and is good at business, otherwise Happy Ranch would not be able to operate to its current level.

Anyone who opens a store or a ranch may seem like being the boss or the person in charge, with unlimited glory, but in fact only they themselves know the pressure they have to bear and the hardships they have to endure.

Without any ability or courage, I really can’t stand it.

Take food for example.

If you set up a small stall, the pressure is not too great. If the business is not good, you can come back the next day.

If you open a store, you have to worry about rent, water and electricity bills, approval certificates from various departments, and various management fees. If you don't open and make money, you will lose a lot of money.

Jiang Feng also thought about opening a shop based on braised pork.

But then I thought about it, it was too much work and I had to look at the store every day.

Still comfortable setting up a stall.

He is used to being a Buddhist and doesn't like to put pressure on himself.

In Happy Ranch, the four pig trotters were quickly eaten by the father and daughter.

Zhang Xinya was satisfied.

"This level of braised pork is much better than that of Old Man Sun in our kitchen."

"too delicious."

"I'll buy some more tomorrow."

Hearing this, Kaishan Shan nodded in agreement, "Buy more pig's trotters, pig's trotters are the most delicious."

At the same time, Jiang Feng drove a mobile food truck and returned to his shop.

The area around the shop remains desolate.

A row of dilapidated bungalows, with no tiles on the walls, all dark, and no business.

But it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, it’s just a temporary stop.

Jiang Feng parked the dining car and went to buy ingredients, preparing to continue making soup.

The cost of stock is very high, and a good stock can be used 4 to 5 times.

By the third time, the taste was still strong, but by the fourth time, the taste was not as good.

Jiang Feng planned to use one pot of soup three times.

The soup stock used for the second time is called the second soup in the industry.

You need to remove all the meat residue from the soup stock, add the seasonings, and boil it again.

This is not too troublesome.

The high-quality braised pork is braised with the flavor of broth.

Jiang Feng plans to add some more dishes.

For example, meatballs, duck racks, chicken gizzards, etc.

So some preparations are needed.

After finishing working in the small shop, Jiang Feng took the little black dog and went to the butcher shop to buy meat.

Life is easy and fulfilling.

At the same time, over there at Hongshan Park.

Although Jiang Feng only set up a stall here for a week, he seemed to have had a big impact.

Last week, many people took videos of him and posted them online. The scene of a large group of people queuing up to sell rice bowls early in the morning is still fresh in my memory.

Many people found this video interesting and liked it.

The video has hundreds of thousands of likes, which is considered a small hit.

Jiang Feng has also begun to show his prominence on the Internet.

Now Jiang Feng suddenly disappeared, and local residents missed him very much.

After Ma San and his friends came back from buying braised pork, they talked about it with everyone they met.

"Chef Jiang is now setting up a stall at Shuize Resort, selling braised pork. We also saw him today."

After hearing what Ma San said, local residents would also ask:

"Why are you selling braised pork? No longer selling rice bowls?"

Ma San replied: "Chef Jiang is very personal and has great ideas. He changes places from time to time."

"Don't tell me, his braised pork is the same as his rice bowl, it tastes amazing!"

"When we were drinking, we didn't drink much wine, so we ate all the braised pork first."

"Do you think it's strange or not?"

"Then I went to the roadside and bought some ordinary braised pork, and then I drank the wine."

Hearing what Ma San said, the resident swallowed his saliva.

He thought of the rice bowl made by Jiang Feng, and his mouth watered unconsciously.

The texture of the rice bowl is incomparable, especially the meat made by Jiang Feng, which tastes extremely fragrant.

I have never felt so good eating meat!

"Is it really so delicious?" He couldn't help but ask Ma San, as if he wanted to know more details.

"Really, it's so delicious. We didn't even bother to drink the pig's trotters, we just finished them."

"Then when you eat braised vegetables, take a bite with a glass of beer, it's so refreshing."

"His braised vegetables are amazing. The more you eat them, the more delicious they become, and you never get tired of them."

"I don't know how he dealt with it, but the smell really doesn't matter."

Ma San recalled the taste of braised pork and couldn't forget it.

"What you said makes me greedy. I'll buy some tomorrow too," the resident said.

"Do you even need to ask about Chef Jiang's skills? Just look for him." Ma San nodded.

"Besides, I have a hunch that Chef Jiang will definitely become more and more popular."

"Not to mention good craftsmanship, he is quite handsome and has a good personality. With an opportunity, he will become popular sooner or later!"

"If you don't believe it, just watch."
