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

Chapter 145 He is really powerful, just like me when I was young

Jiang Feng pays attention to the neighborhood food list from time to time.

Due to too many positive reviews, Jiangyue Tai Shandong Cuisine Restaurant soon became the top 1 restaurant in the neighborhood with high reviews and top 1 popularity.

 For him, this was not enough.

He wants to build Jiangyuetai Lu Cuisine Restaurant into the top 1 in the city

 But this requires time and accumulation.

  Make white steak and four treasures at noon, and make nine large intestines at night.

 He has done the nine-turn large intestine before, and it is not too difficult.

 At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hu suddenly came to Jiang Feng.

“Boss, a Shandong cuisine chef is here today, and there is also a big V with tens of millions of fans. They said they want to meet you.”

Hearing Zhang Hu's words, Jiang Feng was a little stunned.

 “Shandong cuisine chef?”

Li Qiu still replied:

Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Guoli's words, Jiang Feng really didn't know how to answer.

 He is a chef who has learned from the system, and the recipes are all handed down by the system.

It’s really hard to say.

Hearing this, Zhao Guoli seemed to see something and said with a smile:

“If the dishes of the authentic Manchu-Han banquet can be learned online, there won’t be so many apprentices learning from the masters for several years.”

 Not long after, Li Qiu and Zhao Guoli were seen entering the kitchen.

Li Qiu introduced with a smile.

It’s really amazing to have such cooking skills at such a young age.

 Zhao Guoli looked at Jiang Feng with admiration.

“The White Braised Four Treasures are very authentic, well done and bring out the true characteristics of Shandong cuisine.”

Li Qiu and Zhao Guoli were both a little surprised when they saw Jiang Feng.

“But your master is definitely not in the Shandong Cuisine Association. Otherwise, people would have started to show off to you.”

 “This boss really has real skills, everyone can see it.”

“Master Zhao, I researched this on my own. Now there are recipes for most of the ingredients online. Just follow along.”

Jiang Feng greeted him generously.

 “Hello, Jiang Yuetai welcomes you.”

“Hello, Boss Jiang, we are here specially to taste the Shandong cuisine you made today.”

“This is Master Zhao Guoli, the chef of the Shandong cuisine state banquet. I specially invited him here.”

This is too young.

Hearing his words, Li Qiu on the side almost couldn't stand up.

 “Shandong cuisine needs your inheritance very much.”

 “Okay, there is one more thing.”

Li Qiu went up to say hello.

Li Qiu knew about Zhao Guoli's resume. At Jiang Feng's age, Zhao Guoli was still an apprentice working as a Dutchman and was not even qualified to cut vegetables and practice knife skills.

 The group left the kitchen.

 “Hello, Master Zhao.” Jiang Feng greeted Zhao Guoli again.

Jiang Feng saw that there were not many orders for Bai Pa Si Bao, so he agreed.

On the way, Zhao Guoli said with emotion:

 “He is indeed quite powerful, just like me when I was young.”

Jiang Feng could only smile and nod.

“There are many Shandong cuisine restaurants on the market now, which are not authentic at all.”

However, the older generation likes to brag a bit and enjoy the feeling of being elders, which is understandable.

Later on, I slowly waited until I was 27 or 28 years old before I started working on the stove, and then I gradually became famous after I was 35 years old.

 And what he said now was "like me when I was young", which really made Li Qiu feel embarrassed when he heard it.

“For example, the knife skills for cutting abalone, the heat for stewing, and the ratio of seasonings must all be practiced year after year, otherwise I wouldn’t have this skill.”

"I guess you must have your own reasons, and I won't force you."

Zhao Guoli smiled heartily and said:

“There’s nothing wrong with coming to the back kitchen. I just think the White Braised Four Treasures you cook is very authentic. I wanted to ask who you learned how to cook from. Maybe I know him.”

 In the culinary industry, such young chefs are rare.

“Okay, I see you are quite busy, so I won’t interrupt you.”

"Yes, his name is Zhao Guoli, a national-level Shandong cuisine master. He has hosted state banquets before. I know him, and his apprentices are now provincial Shandong cuisine masters. He is very powerful."

“High-end ingredients are harder to handle.”

 The group left Jiang Yuetai.

 After returning home, Li Qiu’s team began to edit the video, which was considered to have fulfilled one of his promises to his fans.

 In the video, Zhao Guoli spoke highly of Jiang Feng’s Four Treasures.

 This evaluation has little impact on ordinary netizens.

 But in the Shandong cuisine industry, it still has a huge impact.

Every chef working in the Shandong cuisine industry knows Zhao Guoli, but they don’t know Jiang Feng.

Even if he knew it, he still thought Jiang Feng was just a restaurant owner who knew how to cook.

 Now the masters of Shandong cuisine at state banquets say that the Shandong cuisine he cooks is authentic, which is a kind of recognition.

 But this doesn't matter to Jiang Feng.

 Just a superficial name.

 It is enough for the common people to approve it.

 He never cared what other chefs thought of him.

 In Chef Jiang’s group of diners.

 The guests who had eaten the delicious food began to show off their photos again.

“Chef Jiang’s special dish today: White Braised Four Treasures, Abalone and Cantonese Tripe are super delicious!”

“I also ate it. The abalone was particularly tender and the asparagus was crispy and fragrant!”

 “I’m eating, hahaha, it’s great!”

“Chef Jiang is really good at handling abalone. Today’s abalone tastes particularly fresh. I don’t know how he made it.”

 Seeing this information, people in other groups suddenly became unhappy. “Damn, you know I can’t eat it, but you still show off!”

 “I’m working overtime today and can’t go!”

 “I want to eat abalone too!”

 “I suggest you not to come, there are 23 tables lined up in front of me now!”

 “Kick all these people who show off their delicious food!”

 The group is very lively.

 This is true not only for diners, but also for fishing groups and residents. Many topics revolve around the newly opened Jiangyue Terrace.

The restaurant’s reputation in the city is gradually growing.

at the same time.

Li Xiangfo entered the restaurant, ordered 5 portions of White Grilled Four Treasures, and packed them all.

This person is the purchaser of Fengqishan Temple and is responsible for the food security of the temple.

Jiang Feng has seen him many times.

 I have seen him when selling lunch boxes.

At the time, I was still curious and asked him why he bought so many copies.

Li Xiangfo just said, it’s better not to inquire about monks’ affairs.

 By coincidence, Jiang Feng finished a batch of orders and came out to use the toilet and take a look at the situation in the lobby.

I happened to meet Li Xiangfo.

Li Xiangfo was wearing casual clothes and a hat, very low-key.

 “Master Li, what a coincidence, we can encounter all this.”

Jiang Feng smiled and greeted Li Xiangfo.

 Li Xiangfo looked at Jiang Feng.

 When Jiang Feng was selling steamed buns in the mountains, Li Xiangfo and Jiang Feng ordered steamed buns every morning, and the two of them were considered acquaintances.

 At that time, Li Xiangfo only thought that Jiang Feng was a powerful stall vendor.

Who would have thought that he was actually the owner of a big restaurant.

“Boss Jiang, what a coincidence. I heard that Jiang Yuetai has opened, and I come here every day to support it.”

Li Xiangfo replied with a smile.

“You’ve packed so many portions of the White Braised Four Treasures, are you ready to go back to eat?”

Jiang Feng was a little curious.

“Boss Jiang, this is all a monk’s business, so don’t ask about it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Feng knew what he meant and immediately laughed.

Jiang Feng’s food is really delicious, and he has many regular customers.

 This includes individual monks in temples.

It’s really hard to evaluate this matter.

 When a monk enters a temple, he originally has no desire. He just wants to cultivate his mind and gain peace.

Who has ever imagined that after eating Jiang Feng's steamed buns, he would immediately feel the beauty of the rolling world.

 The Taoist heart is broken.

It's still not enough.

 I don’t blame them, it’s all because these things are really delicious.

 When I get tired of eating vegetarian food every day, I always want to satisfy my craving.

Jiang Feng saw through it without saying anything. After saying hello, he went to the kitchen to get busy.

Li Xiangfo had a hearty meal by himself, packed up the four treasures, and returned to Fengqi Mountain.

Li Xiangfo secretly came to a wing. This wing is located in the main area of ​​the temple. It has no offerings and is relatively remote.

 Several monks prepared steamed buns and were waiting early.

 They plugged in a rice cooker in the room, poured water into it, and put the packaged white grilled four treasures in to heat.

Not only did they have the White Braised Four Treasures, Li Xiangfo also brought some sweet and sour pork loin.

The fragrance spread quickly.

The management of this temple is not that strict. As long as you abide by the basic principles and do not break the precepts in the main area of ​​the temple, it will be fine. When you leave the temple theme area, it all depends on your heart. After coming down the mountain, you won’t care too much.

A few people began to feast.

 “The food this chef makes is so delicious!”

 “Let’s finish it quickly and don’t let the abbot know.”

 At this time, a young monk suddenly spoke:

“After I finish this year, I may plan to return to secular life.”

Hearing this, the other people were stunned for a moment.

 “What? Not in the temple anymore?”

The young monk said:

“Well, I really wanted to come in before, and I did feel calm for a while.”

“But now I realize that there are many beautiful things out there that I haven’t experienced yet.”

"Actually, my family didn't agree with it at the time. I begged them for a long time."

 “I plan to go home.”

Hearing this, several people looked at each other.

 No, does eating an abalone really damage one's Taoist mind?

Of course, it can also be said that eating an abalone helped him find a new path to self-salvation.

 Not everyone is suitable for this path. You may go wrong. You just need to step out.

 “That’s good, just think about it yourself.”

 “I definitely support you!”

 The other two young monks said with a smile.

 Food has different effects on different people.

　Sometimes they just think it tastes good, sometimes they just linger over it. Some men and women may develop a good impression because of a delicious meal, while some people may be in a low mood and recover after a delicious meal.

However, it is quite rare to find food that is also vulgar.
