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

Chapter 120 Let’s eat and not fight today!

 That evening, Jiang Feng took Zhang Hu and He Tian to the guest's house to check on the stove.

The person who hosted the banquet was called Niu Feihu. His family dug coal and he was considered a wealthy person in the village. Tomorrow his son will celebrate his 100th day, and he will hold a 100th day of wine, so he will do it in the village.

Niu Feihu’s home environment is very good, and the house and yard are newly built.

The village is a big place, the banquet is placed in the courtyard, and all the tables and chairs are ready.

 People at home are coming and going, and lanterns are decorated.

 The village is just trying to be lively.

 The banquet will officially start tomorrow, and Niu Feihu specially invites the chef from the "Food Restaurant" to prepare the banquet.

Since Jiang Yuetai has not officially opened yet, everyone is still accustomed to calling it Gourmet Restaurant.

I heard that Niu Feihu invited the restaurant’s chef over, and many people from the village came to watch.

“Lao Niu’s family is quite impressive. They hired a chef from the Food Restaurant. That restaurant is so old-fashioned!”

“It costs 800 for a table!”

“I heard that a table costs 1,200.”

 “How much, 1200? Okay!”

 “Have to come early tomorrow.”

Jiang Feng and Zhang Hu confirmed the cooking place. There are four stoves that can start cooking at the same time, and Jiang Feng is responsible for one stove.

Jiang Feng picked a dish for himself and was responsible for stewing the elbow.

 It feels good to stew the pork elbow in the open air in the village, and the other details are left to the employees.

They chatted with Niu Feihu about the details, confirmed that everything was fine, and then went back to prepare.

 The next day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, which was a rare good weather.

This weather is just right for a wedding.

The Niu family asked a fortune teller to calculate that it was an auspicious day, which was just right for a big banquet.

Jiang Feng took the chefs from "Jiang Yuetai" to the yard at eight o'clock in the morning. After unloading the things, he started to prepare.

 There were many people in the yard, busy going back and forth.

 Many villagers also came early and chatted with Niu Feihu’s family in the yard.

 There were also people outside the courtyard.

 “The Niu family is still awesome!”

 “This is such a grand occasion!”

　　"Lao Niu didn't have a son until he was thirty-five years old, so he shouldn't spend too much money."

 The villagers were talking a lot.

 The feeling in the village is like this. There is no sense of distance between people, and everyone can chat with each other. Moreover, the intelligence system in the village is extremely developed. If something happens, the whole village will know about it within half a day.

The chefs at Jiang Yuetai quickly found their positions and began to get busy.

 Everyone is professional in making banquets.

 The chefs were even more happy when they heard that Jiang Feng was also going to pay bonuses.

 Come to the village and work for a whole morning, and you will get an extra bonus.

This work is comfortable!

 Everything is in full swing.

 The environment here is very simple.

Jiang Feng hadn’t been to the village for a long time, so he set up several sheds in an open space outside the yard and cooked in them.

 It feels like something different.

Jiang Feng is responsible for one dish:

 Stewed elbow.

 There are 16 tables in total, and 16 servings of elbows will be stewed. Considering that there will be emergencies, Jiang Feng prepared 18 good large elbows at one time.

 If you can’t finish it by then, the chefs can eat it themselves.

Jiang Yuetai’s first banquet was a village banquet, but Jiang Feng was not unambiguous.

Each elbow is cleaned with a flamethrower to remove the hair and smell.

 Mix up the colored braised sauce, sear the skin of the elbow, and bring to a boil.

 It should be cooked for at least two hours, and finally returned to the pot to collect the juice.

 The pot used by Jiang Feng is a large black iron pot.

 Simmering so many elbows at once made Jiang Feng very energetic.

He carefully prepares the ingredients for stewed elbow, and the final sauce is specially prepared by him.

 When the sauce becomes thick, you can take it out of the pan and serve it.

 Everything is just right.

Niu Feihu and his family came to visit occasionally.

The cooks at Jiang Yuetai all wear chef uniforms and chef hats. Whether they are chopping vegetables or garnishing dishes, they all highlight a profession.

 The people who usually take care of banquets in the village are small businesses who drive around in large trucks. The food they cook is good, but it doesn't look very formal.

And the chefs at Jiangfeng Restaurant all came from Zhengerbajing Restaurant, so the feeling is really different.

 The difference between regular army and bulk.

Niu Feihu was quite satisfied.

This **** is so full that it gives him a lot of face.

 Many villagers also looked here, and their faces were full of amazement when they saw such a professional team.

Jiang Feng’s elbow is very fragrant when stewed.

 Although the lid of the large iron pot is tightly closed, the smell will still come out of the pot.

 The smell wafts out.

 “Boss, your elbow is so delicious when stewed.”

 Zhang Hu took the time to come over and couldn't help but praise.

“The big iron pot is not tightly sealed. If you stew too much at one time, the smell will escape.”

Jiang Feng responded.

Hearing this, the other chefs smiled and looked this way.

Jiang Feng is a good boss.

 Not only is he good at cooking, he is also generous.

 Although the chefs only followed him for a few days, they were all willing to work with him.

 Zhang Hu can read people very accurately.

Jiang Feng’s exquisite cooking skills and financial resources to afford a restaurant are definitely not ordinary people.

There is no harm in following this kind of person.

 The taste of the elbow is getting more and more fragrant.

 Outside Niu’s yard. Several people were chatting, and suddenly they smelled the smell of meat.

Everyone didn't eat because they were waiting to have a meal. When they smelled this, their stomachs immediately growled with hunger!

 “What are you doing? It smells so good!”

 There was a man who stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the banquet.

 At this moment, Niu Feihu’s eldest brother happened to come over.

 “Niu Da, what is this stew? It tastes so fragrant!”

Someone asked impatiently.

Niu Feihu’s eldest brother responded: “A big pot of stewed elbow, and a pot of braised beef.”

 “This should taste like elbow.”

Hearing what he said, everyone smelled it and couldn't help but admire:

 “The cook you hired is really good, and the smell smells delicious!”

Niu Feihu’s eldest brother said slightly proudly:

 “That’s not the case, the chef invited by the gourmet restaurant.”

“But I heard from my brother that it is no longer called Gourmet Restaurant. It is now called Jiang Yuetai and has a new owner.”

“We can only hire them during the renovation period, but we can’t hire them on weekdays!”

“The chefs there are very good. They specialize in Shandong cuisine and their skills are very good!”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

 “It turned out that the restaurant invited me, no wonder!”

 “The chef who runs the restaurant must be great!”

 “I can’t leave after smelling this smell.”

 The courtyard is lively both inside and outside.

What you need when hosting a banquet in rural areas is this festive feeling.

Niu Feihu’s relatives had arrived early, and there were many children playing in the yard.

 The human touch in the village is very strong.

Several children could not help but walk towards the kitchen when they smelled the aroma of elbow.

They came all the way to the big pot where Jiang Feng was stewing elbows. They stared straight into the pot and put a finger in his mouth to tremble.

 “Why are the children here? Don’t bump into you as they come and go.”

 Zhang Hu saw the child coming and hurriedly drove him away.

Jiang Feng watched from the side.

At this time, the adults saw the children running into the kitchen, and two adults came to catch them and take them back.

“Juanjuan, Lele, you guys don’t stay there, we’ll have lunch at noon, come back soon!”

 The adults shouted.

 “We want to eat meat!”

 A child raised his fist high and said sternly.

Other children saw what he said and imitated him one after another:

 “We want to eat meat!”

 “Eat, the meat is not cooked yet, let’s have it for lunch!” The adults came over and carried the children away.

 The child couldn't eat meat and suddenly started crying.

 The sound was mixed in the kitchen, adding to the liveliness of the yard.

 The two adults looked at Jiang Feng, hoping that Jiang Feng would give them something to eat.

Jiang Feng said calmly:

“It’s indeed not yet cooked. It’s still simmering and the juice will need to be collected in a while.”

Hearing this, the adults took the child and left forcefully.

 The elbows in the pot are simmering continuously.

Jiang Feng took the time to check on the chefs' preparations.

 Everyone is very professional.

While he had time, Jiang Feng improved the recipe for making sweet and sour pork for Zhang Hu and He Tian.

 Sweet and sour pork loin is a very popular dish, and Jiang Feng is very good at this dish.

 If it is done well, there will definitely be an endless stream of people coming to the restaurant to eat sweet and sour pork every day.

Zhang Hu heard all Jiang Feng’s suggestions and modified the sauce ratio according to Jiang Feng’s instructions.

After Zhang Hu took a bite of the sweet and sour pork loin, he was shocked by the taste.

 It feels really different.

Zhang Hu learned it from an authentic Shandong cuisine master, and he has always felt that his sweet and sour pork is authentic enough.

Now when Jiang Feng took command, he discovered that there was a mountain outside the mountain.

“Who is the master of the boss? This recipe for sweet and sour pork is not something you can learn online.”

 Zhang Hu was particularly shocked.

After Jiang Feng gave him some instructions, he went to see how the others were preparing.

 The chefs are more serious than each other.

There is no other way, the boss is knowledgeable and can’t catch the fish!

 But fortunately, Jiang Feng gave him a lot, and everyone was willing to do it.

 More and more people from the village came around.

Niu Feihu was rich and generous, and many people came.

 It’s not just that more people come.

Except for the gatekeeper, all the dogs in the village do not have leashes.

These dogs don’t bite, and they run around in gangs every day.

The dogs smelled the smell and had already come to wait outside the yard.

In the past, dogs from two gangs would start fighting each other when they met. Although they didn't really fight, they would at least curse at each other.

 The two dog gangs were surprisingly peaceful today.

 It’s as if they can’t see each other.

 A wave of dogs is to the east, and a wave of dogs is to the west, waiting quietly.

 They are obviously attracted by the fragrance.

  Occasionally look at each other, and then look away tacitly.

 It’s time to eat and not fight today.

 The scene in the courtyard was very lively, and the festive atmosphere soared into the sky.

 There are smiles on people’s faces.

 The lively and lively feeling can only be found in banquets in domestic villages.
