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

On the Internet, videos continue to circulate.

Many people posted videos of Jiang Feng making West Lake vinegar fish in West Lake.

Netizens were surprised when they saw such a picture.

After all, he is a chef. He sets up a stall and challenges himself to make the famous delicacy West Lake Vinegar Fish. There is no one else but him.

Because of Jiang Feng’s West Lake Vinegar Fish, the business of West Lake Vinegar Fish in Louwailou has deteriorated a lot.

When guests come to eat at his place, they rarely order this dish.

After all, the stall next door has delicious West Lake vinegar fish, so who would come to his house to eat it?

In addition, Jiang Feng's stall also attracted the attention of the State Guesthouse.

The State Guesthouse is a business restaurant next to the West Lake. The view of the restaurant is very good. There are lotus flowers next to it when you eat. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the West Lake while eating.

The food in this restaurant is delicious, the only drawback is that it is expensive.

For example, diving winter melon, one dish, six small pieces of winter melon, 60 yuan

Calculating, a small piece of winter melon costs 10 yuan

Spare ribs with plum sauce, one dish, three pieces of pork ribs, 100 yuan

In total, a piece of ribs costs about 33 yuan.

This is the price of the state hotel.

But the food is really delicious, so many business people who are not short of money will come here to eat.

The West Lake Vinegar Fish here is very popular, because the West Lake Vinegar Fish in the State Guesthouse has no fishy smell, tastes very refreshing, and can be steamed directly.

But the price is also high.

Now Jiang Feng suddenly started to set up a stall selling West Lake vinegar fish, and the taste was authentic, which made them a little confused.

Several chefs were discussing over there.

"You can also make West Lake vinegar fish in a snack street? Do you believe it? I don't believe it, it's all hype on the Internet!"

"A lot of people are posting videos, maybe they have some tricks up their sleeves."

“I don’t know how much I spent to buy traffic, I can’t trust what I read online!”

"A small portion of West Lake Vinegar Fish costs 170 in our store, but he sells it for 48. How can it taste the same!"

"It's just for hype, and the goods will come later."

"But I heard that he opened the restaurant over there and the signboard was all up."

"Internet celebrity restaurants, those who play with traffic, have little to do with us."

The chefs are not unanimous.

Some people look down upon it, some find it interesting, and some find it strange.

There is a meeting here every Monday, and they just chatted like this after the meeting.

At this time, chef Wu Kai said to another chef next to him, Sun Hu:

"If you want to eat, I can ask someone to bring back two portions tomorrow."

"Let's try the West Lake vinegar fish he made and see if it's authentic."

Sun Hu felt it was unnecessary and replied: "It's not necessary."

Wu Kai thought for a while and said, "I just want to see if this stall owner is real or fake."

"It's very popular online, but he didn't open an account himself, which is quite strange."

"It stands to reason that with his current reputation, he will definitely have many fans if he opens an account."

"What if what he cooks is really delicious."

After hearing Wu Kai's words, Sun Hu also became curious.

"Then let's try his fish?"

"That's what I think. Give it a try. The method of making it is fine after watching the video, but you have to try it to know whether it tastes good or not."

The chef next to him heard the conversation between the two and said:

"I'll try it if I buy it. I don't believe how delicious it can be!"

"When you say that, I want to try it too!"

Everyone was discussing casually, but as soon as they started talking, they became very curious about the West Lake vinegar fish made by Jiang Feng.

There are many people who are curious.

Jiang Feng never cared much.

It’s easy to set up a stall selling West Lake Vinegar Fish.

The main reason is that his stall time is short and there is no shortage of customers.

When we arrived at the snack street, we set up the stalls, finished cooking the fish, and left directly.

So I have a lot of free time, and I can also take more time to rest.

Play with the cat, walk the dog, read a book.

Life is full of fun.

The next day, Jiang Feng went to the stall as usual.

There are some differences between today and yesterday.

He prepared many smaller disposable plates.

When the stewed grass carp is taken out, the fish will be divided into three parts with a knife, and each part only has a piece of good fish belly.

This can satisfy the needs of more guests.

To make West Lake Vinegar Fish as a snack, I have to thank the diners yesterday for their suggestion.

A small portion of West Lake Vinegar Fish costs RMB 20. It is made from fresh and high-quality grass carp meat and is cooked on site. The entire production process is displayed without hiding anything.

Such a stall is indeed rare.

Today is the same as the previous days, business is booming as usual.

At this moment, a young apprentice was waiting in the queue to buy Jiang Feng’s West Lake Vinegar Fish.

This apprentice came from the Business Restaurant State Guesthouse. The chefs there wanted to know whether Jiang Feng's level was true or false, so they asked the apprentice to come and take a copy back.

Jiang Feng has such a great reputation, and he is also a chef, so he always wants to try it out.

They won't promote it, whether it's delicious or not is just a topic of conversation in daily life.

The State Guesthouse has a great reputation in West Lake, and the food is delicious and expensive.

Jiangfeng’s Jiang Yuetai is on the people-friendly route. In view of the geographical location of West Lake, the price will be slightly more expensive, but it is still within the acceptable range of ordinary people.

Soon, the apprentice bought a portion of West Lake Vinegar Fish. What he bought was a whole portion, which was half a fish.

Carrying the West Lake vinegar fish and riding an electric bicycle, he hurried back to the kitchen of the State Guesthouse.

It was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon at this moment, and the kitchen was not too busy.

Wu Kai and Sun Hu saw the apprentice coming in and immediately asked:

"How's it going? Did you buy it?"

The apprentice was carrying a bag and said hurriedly:

"Master, I bought it and it's still fresh!"

With that said, the apprentice placed the bag on the table and opened it.

The West Lake Vinegar Fish is placed in a box. Once the box is opened, the exquisite West Lake Vinegar Fish is in front of everyone's eyes.

Wu Kai and Sun Hu both came over, and two chefs also gathered around to take a look.

Someone asked out of curiosity:

"Is this the West Lake Fish in Vinegar made by the stall owner?"

"He is really popular. All my friends around me are talking about him."

"The fish looks pretty good, but I don't know how it tastes."

"Did he make this West Lake Vinegar Fish? Are the comments online that praise him true or false?"

The West Lake vinegar fish in the box is very beautiful. The fish meat is tender white and delicious to the naked eye.

The juice shows a crystal red sauce, rich and crystal clear.

It shows that when making the sauce, the chef controlled the heat and strength very well, allowing the cornstarch to melt into the sweet and sour sauce little by little, so that such an effect can be achieved.

Just from the outside, there is nothing wrong with this West Lake vinegar fish.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's excellent.

The chefs at the State Guesthouse didn't deliberately try to get into trouble, they were just purely curious about Jiang Feng's cooking skills.

"It looks pretty good."

Wu Kai said something, then he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish covered in juice, and ate it.

After the fish entered his mouth, he carefully tasted the taste of the fish.

Chef Sun Hu also picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

There were two other chefs who also tasted the food.

This West Lake Vinegar Fish is placed in a disposable tinfoil box and looks like an ordinary takeaway.

The West Lake vinegar fish served at the State Guesthouse is placed on an exquisite plate with blue and white glaze patterns on it.

Although the environment is different, the taste is still exquisite.

Even Jiang Feng’s West Lake Vinegar Fish is even better.

Several chefs tasted the taste of West Lake vinegar fish, but the apprentice next to them felt itchy and did not dare to eat it, so they could only wait for the answer quietly.

The apprentice is not saying that he wants to eat West Lake Vinegar Fish. After all, he makes it every day and is already tired of it. He just wants to know whether it tastes good or not. He wants to know whether Jiang Feng, who is popular all over the Internet, is Li Kui or Li Gui.

After a while, Wu Kai swallowed the fish meat, clicked his tongue, and commented:

"It's really good. The sauce is very authentic, with just the right balance of sweetness and sourness."

"It's quite powerful."

"Also, the fish he chose does not have a trace of earthy smell. This cannot be removed by removing the smell. The raw material must be the grass carp from the reservoir."

"You have real ability."

After all, we are all peers, so we can’t boast too much.

In fact, Wu Kai felt that the West Lake Vinegar Fish made by Jiang Feng was very delicious, even better than their West Lake Vinegar Fish.

Sun Hu also said:

"Well, it's pretty good and authentic."

"It seems that the news on the Internet is true."

"Actually, that's true. If it wasn't delicious, it would have been exposed long ago and wouldn't be so popular."

Several people make West Lake vinegar fish every day and have eaten it many times, so if you just take a bite, you can know the quality of this West Lake vinegar fish.

To put it simply: you can’t find fault with it.

Several people nodded tacitly.

At this time, one person suddenly said:

"The chefs at the Jiangyuetai Restaurant he opened are very well paid. I have learned about his Shandong cuisine restaurant and Sichuan cuisine restaurant. They all employ chefs and have very good benefits."

"And the Jiangyue Tai restaurant by the West Lake has already posted a recruitment notice. Any experienced chef can apply. I think the salary is pretty good."

Generally speaking, this topic is normal in restaurants.

But just don't let the executive chef hear.

After all, the executive chef is a manager, and he certainly doesn’t want his people to jump ship.

Moreover, the two hotels are so close to each other that it would not look good to change jobs.

But the kitchen is often not that simple. Some chefs are skilled, but they are not of the same mind as the executive chef, and they definitely want to leave for a place with better pay.

Or maybe these people also have chef friends, and these chef friends want to find a good restaurant to apply for a job. They can also inform Jiang Yuetai of the application information.

Therefore, everyone always talks a lot about welfare benefits.

The West Lake vinegar fish on the table was quickly eaten.

The chefs took two more bites on a whim, and the apprentices also took the opportunity to taste it. In the end, only a few fish bones were left.

They no longer question Jiang Feng's strength.

Then they started talking about Jiang Feng's restaurant.

After all, a real chef is the boss and pays special attention to the training of chefs. Such a restaurant is very attractive to them.
