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

 Chapter 83 The excitement of the last day!

  Additional reward for the fifth day mission: eggplant meat rolls.

  Another pretty good home-cooked dish.

Eggplant meat rolls are made by cutting the eggplants vertically into thin slices, then wrapping them with marinated meat fillings and rolling them into rolls.

 Dip the rolled eggplants in cornstarch and coat them evenly, then fry them in a pan.

This dish sounds simple, but in fact it requires special skills.

 First of all, you should choose eggplant king, which is a large eggplant with a relatively large butt, so you can slice it thinly.

These eggplant slices should also be pickled.

The next step is to choose the meat filling. Jiang Feng has sold soy sauce pork buns and pork and green onion buns before, and he is already very good at adjusting the meat fillings. Various condiments are added to the meat fillings to ensure that the meat fillings are full of flavor.

The next step is to prepare a roasted eggplant juice, using dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little vinegar, some water, cornstarch, a lot of minced garlic, and sesame oil.

This sauce is delicious wherever you put it.

Then wrap the meat stuffing with eggplant slices, roll it into rolls, dip it in flour and fry it in a pan.

 Because it is thicker when rolled up, the inside is not easy to cook, so it needs to be deep-fried and you have to keep turning it.

 Finally, heat up the roasted eggplant juice, put the fried eggplant rolls in and cook until the soup thickens, then pour it out.

　　Sprinkle with chopped green onion and let’s work together!

 The eggplant meat rolls taste great.

The eggplant slices on the outside are fried to become golden and crispy, and the meat filling inside is well marinated and full of flavor.

There is also thick and rich tomato sauce seasoning on the surface.

 The kids next door are crying!

Making this kind of dish requires careful attention, and is generally not suitable for canteens to cook hundreds of portions.

 Unless it’s an assembly line job or pre-made dishes, it’s very tiring.

But Jiang Feng has only been running the stall for a few days, and he has always done it himself, making it in a pot himself, and the taste is much better than ordinary canteen dishes.

“Tomorrow’s special will be eggplant rolls.”

“Since everyone loves Dongpo Pork, on the last day I set up the stall, I will open it for one more afternoon.”

 “Make more Dongpo pork.”

 “The most important thing is that everyone is happy.”

Jiang Feng thought secretly in his heart.

 Life is still good.

 The next day, the weather was a little gloomy.

At ten in the morning, the first-year military training freshmen looked up at the gloomy sky, with only one hope in their hearts:

 “Let it rain, let it rain quickly!”

 “Please God, please make it rain!”

I don’t know if I heard their prayers, but after a while, raindrops actually started to fall from the sky.

"yeah!"

"It's raining!"

 “Instructor, it’s raining!”

 The students shouted.

The instructor looked at the sky and immediately said to everyone:

 “Attention everyone, gather in four lines facing me!”

The instructor doesn't really want to embarrass the students, but after all, they are invited to lead military training. If there is no reason not to train, it cannot be justified.

 It’s raining now, so we can only go back to the dormitory to rest.

 After Jiang Feng came to the school kitchen, he called the butcher shop owner to inquire.

 The butcher shop owner reassured him that a little rain would be no problem.

Ingredients are delivered safely.

After Jiang Feng received the ingredients, he continued to be busy in the kitchen.

 The aunt who helps the cook also came over.

Eggplant meat rolls require thin slices, and my aunt is not that good at craftsmanship, so she just washes the eggplants and Jiang Feng cuts them by herself.

 Mainly because we don’t have the tools to slice thin slices, so we have to rely on Jiang Feng’s knife skills.

It rained today and the freshmen had no classes. Several freshmen were encouraged to go to the second cafeteria to eat and arrived at the cafeteria early.

 Sophomore, junior and senior students exchange ideas with their teachers in class.

 The teacher explains the ideas.

 The student communicated with Duke Zhou in his dream.

 In university classrooms, the first three rows are for people who listen carefully to the lectures, the middle rows are for people who play with shovels and read novels, and the last few rows are for people who sleep.

 By the time of the fourth period, everyone realized they were hungry and immediately thought of the school’s second cafeteria.

  To be precise, it’s the newly opened stall in the Second Canteen.

As the time approaches meal time, Jiang Feng is busy with the final steps.

 The eggplant rolls in the oil pan are fried one by one, golden and crispy.

After the eggplant juice is braised, the soup reaches the surface of the meat rolls, giving the meat rolls a more rosy color.

 The last step is to put it on a plate and sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions.

Green chopped green onions are dotted between the eggplant rolls, and the style of the entire dish immediately rises to a new level.

This is not like canteen food, but more like exquisite dishes made in a restaurant.

Jiang Feng put all the prepared eggplant meat rolls in the dining basin, put the dining basin on the dining cart, and pushed the dining cart out.

 There is another long queue outside.

 It will open at 11:45 today.

 The sign says today’s special dish: eggplant meat rolls.

　　Students waiting in line will look at the signboard every day.

I can only say that this stall understands the students’ thoughts very well.

 Keep the basics unchanged and change one special dish every day.

 Changing tricks to create surprises, I wonder which student can eat the food from this stall without getting confused.

 Handled college students properly.     “There are new dishes today!”

“Eggplant meat roll, what kind of dish is this? I want to try it later.”

“Originally I planned to eat fish-flavored shredded pork and sweet and sour pork, so how do I choose?”

 “Then eat them all!”

“My wallet doesn’t allow it. I eat three dishes every time here, and a lunch costs sixteen or seventeen yuan. I can’t afford it.”

“It’s already worth it. The most important thing is to enjoy the meal. At worst, dinner should be simple.”

 The students in the team were discussing with their peers.

  There is a stall that is too delicious and I am still having trouble.

 The wallet is flat and the figure is fat.

But it’s really cool.

 Soon, the students bought their favorite delicacies, found a place to sit down, and started eating.

 A student picked up the eggplant roll and tasted it.

 At the beginning, there is the taste of rich sauce, with the aroma of chopped green onion, and the taste is a little sour, which feels very good.

 Take a bite of the meat roll, and the fried eggplant skin will make a crispy sound.

 The meat filling inside bursts out with hot soup, and the aroma of the meat bursts out instantly.

Multiple flavors are mixed together, creating a wonderful chemical reaction, mixed with the saliva in the mouth, and the ultimate feeling is instantly transmitted to the whole body through the taste buds.

The student was chewing eggplant meat rolls with a look of joy on his face.

 Bought the right thing again!

This eggplant meat roll is so delicious!

 Especially the meat filling, that is the real finishing touch!

Jiang Feng has reached the extreme in processing and marinating meat fillings. He has made fillings many times, so he knows what kind of taste best stimulates people's appetite.

 Now it is used in eggplant meat rolls to help reduce some of the greasiness of the eggplant meat and improve the texture of the meat rolls.

 The eggplant meat rolls made in this way are naturally delicious.

 The meat rolls are consumed quickly.

Jiang Feng continues to be busy in the kitchen.

Sometimes when the food is sold out, the queue will stop for a while, waiting for the hot food to be replenished.

 Everyone who comes here to queue up is used to this.

 As long as you can eat it, it’s worth it.

 “The eggplant rolls are also delicious!”

 “Doesn’t he have a bottleneck?”

 “How come everything tastes so delicious!”

 “He’s really a great chef, he’s amazing!”

 “There is no dish that is not delicious!”

 The students were amazed.

 On the sixth day, Jiang Feng’s stall was still busy.

 Despite the rain, the number of people coming to eat has not decreased.

 The task of the day was easily completed, and Jiang Feng received an additional reward: [Special Casserole]

This casserole can greatly preserve the flavor of the ingredients and is a very good kitchen utensil for stewing soups and stews.

Jiang Feng occasionally cooks something and can use it.

 Life goes on as usual.

 Until the seventh day, Jiang Feng plans to open at noon and evening today.

 Selling previously launched dishes at noon and Dongpo Pork in the evening.

 Do more and say goodbye to the students when the time comes.

Many people asked him if he really wouldn't come tomorrow, with a bit of nostalgia and reluctance in his expression.

Jiang Feng responded that he had only rented it for seven days and he really had to leave tomorrow.

 There are still many people coming today.

 At 1:30 noon, everyone queued up to finish eating.

Jiang Feng turned off the lights at the stall, took a short rest and ate some food, and then started busy making Dongpo Pork again.

 It will be open in the afternoon and only sells Dongpo meat.

Jiang Feng’s plan is to make 500 yuan.

 It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s quite troublesome to do.

 After all, most restaurants serve Dongpo pork in one plate, with about eight or nine servings.

 Who makes Dongpo Pork 500 pieces at a time?

Jiang Feng considered that the students wanted to eat and it was the last time to set up a stall at the University of Science and Technology, so it would be a bit harder.

 This week's task has been completed, and the reward is a pair of mutton-fat white jade chopsticks.

 But Jiang Feng didn’t have time to take it out and read it.

 In the afternoon, the owners of other stalls went to rest.

Jiang Feng was the only one left busy in the kitchen.

Logically speaking, he doesn’t need to be busy anymore. The task has been completed anyway, and making authentic Dongpo pork is very laborious.

 But when he went to the school TV station to record two days ago, Jiang Feng met some enthusiastic college students. They said they wanted to eat the Dongpo pork he cooked, but they couldn't.

Jiang Feng promised them to do more today.

Although Jiang Feng didn't know these college students, since he promised, he would definitely do it.

 The fire was lit again in the back kitchen.

 The pieces of fine pork belly were taken out by Jiang Feng and processed bit by bit.

 Everything is in order.

 The last day at the University of Science and Technology.

 Always leave some different memories.
