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

Chapter 55 A small noodle stall in a food stall!

　　A new stall has arrived at the food stall of Juxing Shopping Mall.

The stall owner is a young guy, fair and clean, and he doesn't look like a chef who has been working hard for a long time.

Every time a new stall comes, other stall owners will look here and observe, and then discuss it privately.

Most of the shops here are mom-and-pop shops.

 “Look there, there’s another young man.”

“There’s not much business in this mall. I’ll probably have to leave in a few days.”

“That young man is selling something, but don’t take away our pot sticker business.”

 “It seems to be a pasta seller.”

 “The noodle business is not doing well, we have already left two restaurants.”

 Everyone was talking about it.

 At a small food stall, you can see the stove in the kitchen at a glance.

Bowls and chopsticks are distributed uniformly here, and there are uniform cleaning staff to clean up. You only need to pay the management fee.

 For Jiang Feng, it is quite convenient.

At this moment, Jiang Feng is busy dealing with fried sauce.

 He only plans to introduce two kinds of noodles today:

 Zhajiang noodles and wonton noodles.

 The food stalls in shopping malls don’t start to get more customers until about 11:30.

 It’s still early and there is plenty of time to prepare.

 It’s still comfortable to do lunch business.

Getting up too early to set up a stall to sell breakfast, black and white are reversed, and ordinary people really can't persevere.

Jiang Feng took out a large piece of pork belly and cut off the pig skin.

He didn’t waste the pig rinds. He kept them in a small basin. After preparation, he could make a pig rind jelly or mix it with a cold dish.

Take the remaining pork belly, slice it, and chop it into minced meat.

 The meat filling of Zhajiang Noodles is different from that of steamed buns, so don’t chop it too finely.

It should be a little grainy, so that when you eat fried noodles, you can eat larger pieces of meat and the texture will be better.

 This is the detail.

 Chop the meat filling and place it in a bowl for later use.

 Then chop a few shiitake mushrooms, chop clean scallions into chopped green onions, slice a piece of **** into shreds, and then cut into minced ginger.

With these condiments ready, you can start processing the meat filling.

Jiangfeng stirred up the pot, lit the fire, and heated the oil.

 Although he changed the stove, it did not affect his cooking skills at all.

Jiang Feng poured all the minced pork into the pot. The pork was all in the oil, and it suddenly made a "squeaking" sound.

Jiang Feng used a shovel to stir-fry the minced meat. After a while, the aroma of fried meat wafted out of the pot.

Pork needs to be fried for a while to bring out the oil and dry out the water.

 When the pork in the pot turns into a ripe color, Jiang Feng scoops up a spoonful of high-purity white wine and adds it.

 Wine can remove the fishy smell of pork and bring out the most fragrant flavor of the pork.

Then add chopped green onion and minced ginger, stir-fry until the onion aroma comes out.

Add two spoons of soybean paste and three spoons of sweet noodle sauce and stir-fry for about a minute. The originally meat-colored pork will instantly turn into a thick sauce color, making it look more delicious.

 The flavor of the sauce also comes out of the pot.

 As a well-known delicacy, fried noodles are also a "traditional noodle" that has entered the homes of millions of ordinary people. The production process is not very complicated.

 What can be recognized by the public is the essence of Chinese food culture.

Of course, whether the pasta is delicious or not depends on the craftsmanship.

 With the same process, some people will make delicious food, while others will make it as a mess.

 A slight error can make a difference of a thousand miles.

Jiang Feng added all the chopped shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried until the water was dry.

 When the mushrooms are sautéed, add half a bowl of boiling water, then add dark soy sauce to adjust the color, and a spoonful of oyster sauce to add color.

 Add another spoonful of chicken essence and a spoonful of sugar.

At this time, Jiang Feng quickly waved the spatula to ensure that the meat sauce did not stick to the bottom of the pot and that all the seasonings were fully integrated.

 Wait until the water becomes dry and then stir-fry the meat sauce until it is fragrant and fragrant. The meat sauce is ready.

Jiang Feng bought the noodles from a handmade noodle shop.

His noodles are thicker, almost the same thickness as a data cable. Such noodles absorb more sauce and taste better.

Moreover, the noodles are all hand-rolled, so they are particularly strong and have a crystal-clear texture when cooked.

 Just wait for the guests to come over, then scoop a spoonful of hot fried sauce onto the noodles.

 A bowl of steaming hot noodles is ready.

 Another type of noodle prepared by Jiang Feng is Guangdong wonton noodles.

Wonton is similar to wonton, but there are big differences. The dough for wontons is made from duck egg yolk, while the dough for wontons is made from flour and water.

 The dough of wontons is thicker and the size is generally just enough for one bite. When eating wonton noodles, you should pay attention to their deliciousness.

 Heat a pan with fresh shrimps, then add water to cook the wontons. Shrimps are also added to the stuffing to ensure the deliciousness of the wontons.

 The noodles are very thin bamboo noodles, slender and sinewy, not easy to pinch.

There are two types of noodles. People with a heavier taste will like fried noodles, while people with a lighter taste will like wonton noodles.

 Be comprehensive.

 Everything is ready, just waiting for the guests to come.

 The stall owners of the food stalls are all waiting.

This mall is not a big mall, and the customer flow is not that big.

However, there are many residential areas around, and people nowadays don’t like to cook, so many people go out to eat.

 So business is pretty good.

As for the Public Security Bureau and the court across the road, there are no shops on the street over there.

 Civil servants all eat in the workplace canteen.

 Occasionally I am not in time to eat, so I will change into casual clothes and go to a stall to eat something at noon.

In addition, the canteen of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is very unpalatable, and many police officers complain about it. But the person in charge of the canteen was a relative of a leader in a certain system, and no one dared to mention it in front of the leader, so it went on like this.

 Soon, the food stall welcomed its first wave of customers.

These people are regular customers who come here often and know the situation of the food stalls very well.

 They are familiar with which store has what, and which store has the best food.

 So, the first wave of guests all chose food they were familiar with, and no one took care of Jiang Feng's business.

Jiang Feng is not in a hurry.

This week’s task is to sell 100 servings of pasta. Relatively speaking, the task is relatively easy.

 As long as the passenger flow is normal, it can be completed easily.

 The flow of customers is not big after 11 o'clock, but after 12 o'clock, the number of customers starts to increase.

 Until 12 o'clock, Jiang Feng's stall still had no customers.

Not to mention, I was used to the scene of a large group of people queuing up, and it suddenly became deserted, which was a bit boring.

 Dogs are not allowed in the mall, and Xiao Hei is also waiting at home.

Jiang Feng originally planned to go back from get off work early to walk the dog.

 Not long after, Jiang Feng finally waited for his first guest.

 The two young men came, with short, lean hair, clean shaven beards and trimmed fingernails.

These two are both young police officers from the Public Security Bureau, who were seconded from the grassroots police stations to gain experience.

This line of work is subject to police appearance and conduct inspections, and there are relevant regulations. Long hair and unshaven beards are not allowed, so they must be groomed every day.

“The food in the bureau is really unpalatable. I heard our captain say it was unpalatable before, but I didn’t expect it to be so unpalatable.”

 A young policeman complained.

“Yes, all the dishes are slimy and I don’t know how to cook them.”

 Another young policeman responded.

 “Let’s go to the food stall in the mall and have something to eat.”

 “Okay, whatever you want to eat, I’ll give it to you.”

“Eat some noodles. Give me some noodles to cushion my hunger these two days.”

"good."

 The two of them made a plan and went to the food stall.

 Because I just came to the bureau, I am not very familiar with the food here. I just heard from people in the bureau that the food in this food stall is not bad, and sometimes they will come here to eat after working overtime.

 The two of them took a look at the food stall and soon saw Jiang Feng’s sign.

There are several big characters on the signboard:

 Zhajiang noodles: small bowl 16, large bowl 20

 Wonton noodles: small bowl 18, large bowl 22

 “Let’s eat fried noodles.”

 “Okay, I was just about to say.”

 The two of them made an agreement.

So they came to Jiang Feng’s stall and ordered two bowls of fried noodles.

"alright, please wait."

 When business comes, Jiang Feng starts to get busy.

 He put two handfuls of chewy noodles in the pot, cooked them, took them out, poured two spoons of hot meat sauce on them, and sprinkled them with a handful of fresh cucumber strips.

 The noodles with soybean paste are ready.

There are garlic, coriander, chili oil, and chopped green onion in the basket next to it. Guests can add more by themselves.

Two young policemen sat over and brought up the noodles. They only took two cloves of garlic, then returned to their seats and sat down.

 At this time, they didn’t think anything was wrong, they just thought it was an ordinary bowl of fried noodles.
