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

The trip to Fuzhou went smoothly and word of mouth was successfully developed.

The cultural festival also had blessings. After obtaining the restaurant, decoration and training were completed in one go.

As a result, another Jiangyue Tai opened.

Looking at the time, it is already September, the golden autumn season.

There are countless types of domestic delicacies. The more Jiang Feng learns about them, the more he feels that he doesn't know more and more.

But he always had to study hard.

On this day, Jiang Feng received an unexpected gift.

A female photographer named Xu Wenling contacted him.

Jiang Feng knew this man. He had met him a few times while running a stall before. He was a photographer for a geographical magazine. He was very beautiful, with dark skin and looked very healthy.

She came to Jiang Feng to pay for the manuscript.

It turned out that Xu Wenling took a photo of setting up a stall under a windmill and submitted it to the Humanities Photography Competition of World Geographic Magazine. This photo won the first prize.

Empty mountains, dancing windmills, stall owners and crowds in small squares.

The picture is indeed very artistic.

"Fees?"

"It's not necessary. I already told you that as long as you don't use it for commercial purposes, you can do whatever you want with the photos."

Jiang Feng was surprised when he saw Xu Wenling, but he was also happy.

During Jiang Feng's stall-setting process, he met many people, many things, and saw many stories.

Not everyone goes to work step by step, or in other words, some people choose jobs because of their preferences. These people always talk about their jobs with great joy.

It's interesting to chat with these people.

Jiang Feng doesn't like chatting with others, but he likes to make friends with interesting people and knowledgeable people.

Chat with these people and you will become a better person yourself.

"That's not okay. I said it was half your fault."

"The manuscript fee is also quite high. It's 3 US dollars. If you share half of it, it'll be 1 US dollars."

Xu Wenling said with a smile.

"You can just send it via WeChat and make a special trip."

Jiang Feng chatted with her.

"I miss the food you cooked. I can't eat it abroad."

"I just finished filming the Great Migration in Africa and went back to China for a vacation. During this time, all the sunburns I wore turned dark."

Xu Wenling laughed at himself openly.

"I'm not that good at first. Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you to it."

"It's hard to get back home, and I'll definitely have to entertain you."

Jiang Feng wanted to say that he wasn't very innocent in the first place, but when he saw something wrong in Xu Wenling's eyes, he stopped talking.

"That's fine. You're opening a Fujian restaurant, right? It's just Fujian cuisine."

"Have a good meal."

Xu Wenling smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Feng agreed.

Jiang Feng happened to be curious about what happened in the African savanna. It was good to exchange some interesting stories for a meal.

During the meal, Jiang Feng listened to Xu Wenling talk about his experience.

For example, why animals migrate is actually to simply chase water plants.

Wherever there are lush aquatic plants, herbivores will go, and carnivores will naturally follow.

"You guys are just filming nearby, aren't you afraid of the danger?"

Jiang Feng heard hundreds of thousands of animals migrating together, and the scene was shocking when he thought about it.

After all, meeting a cow on the road in real life makes people nervous. With hundreds of thousands of animals running wild, the pressure must be even greater.

"Fortunately, it's already a custom and many photographers are together."

"The hard work is a bit hard, after all, it's in the wilderness."

"But there is no choice in choosing this profession. There are good and bad things."

Xu Wenling responded calmly.

Then she continued,

"There are crocodiles in the Mara River, and crocodiles will prey on wildebeests and the like. After crossing the Mara River, the animals enter the estrus period, and herbivores will start to compete for territory."

"Zebras and wildebeests fight every day. It's a large group of male herbivores fighting every day."

"There are many stories at this time. Just find a protagonist, give it a name, and shoot it every day."

"The zebra I chose was pretty good. I photographed it for a few days and finally got the right to mate."

"It feels like male animals are the strongest at this time."

Hearing Xu Wenling's words, Jiang Feng nodded subconsciously,

"It's normal, just an animal."

Looking at his appearance, Xu Wenling actually laughed.

The two continued to chat.

Jiang Feng could clearly feel the wildness of the African savanna through Xu Wenling's description.

Because this was something Xu Wenling personally experienced and filmed.

Stories of personal experience are definitely more authentic and easier to touch.

"If you like to listen to other people's experiences, you can exchange stories for delicious food. For example, Pu Songling, who wrote "Liao Zhai", exchanged tea for many weird stories and then wrote a book."

Seeing that Jiang Feng was listening seriously, Xu Wenling smiled.

"Nowadays, the Internet is full of stories, and most people don't have any weird experiences. They are just migrant workers."

"I still want to open a late-night restaurant, but I have opened a restaurant at night. In most cases, customers order, play with their mobile phones for a while, eat and then leave. Who will tell you stories."

Jiang Feng also responded.

"So, setting up stalls was good in the past. There were many customers and you could see many different people."

"Now that it's become more popular, it's all fans. It's hard to get to know people from different industries."

Hearing this, Xu Wenling nodded.

What Jiang Feng said makes sense.

They both had a great time chatting.

Jiang Feng wanted to listen, and Xu Wenling wanted to share. It felt quite comfortable to have a delicious meal together.

Jiang Feng is also thinking about his next plan.

His goal is naturally to open the last Jiangyuetai Anhui cuisine restaurant.

He opened a restaurant with eight major cuisines and all of them were successful. This was considered a new achievement in his life.

"I heard that you are missing the Anhui cuisine restaurant. Are you ready to go there?"

Xu Wenling asked.

"In the past two days, I have become optimistic about the restaurant. Just like the Su Cuisine restaurant I opened before, I will directly buy a restaurant, then decorate it, train the chefs, and it will be opened soon."

Jiang Feng said to her.

"Having gathered the eight major cuisines, do you want to summon the dragon?"

"Your deeds are really outrageous. To be honest, I am also a nature and humanities photographer. If I were a reporter, I would definitely write a feature for you."

"Don't you consider writing an Autobiography?"

Xu Wenling indeed had great ideas. Jiang Feng had not expected these things at all.

She always has a wild imagination.

"An autobiography is not necessary."

Jiang Feng waved his hand.

How to write an autobiography and successfully bind the God of Cooking system at the beginning?

That's a bit outrageous.

"A few magazines have approached me about the topic, but I don't think it's necessary."

Jiang Feng smiled.

"Really? You are still too low-key." Xu Wenqing sighed.

The two of them chatted happily.

Xu Wenling slipped away in Fuzhou for a few more days, and then went back to work on his own affairs.

I probably went to Sanya for vacation and surfing.

Jiang Feng finished his business in Fuzhou and rushed to Anhui and Hefei, preparing to open the last Anhui cuisine restaurant and complete his life's achievements.

On the first day he came here, he started studying the recipe of "stinky mandarin fish", an Anhui dish.

Jiang Feng cooks a lot of fish and knows many ways to cook fish.

But this was his first time making stinky mandarin fish.

Just the preparation work will take a week.

The preparation work is marinating. The fish should be marinated until it emits a slight smell, but the structure of the fish itself should not be damaged.

Jiang Feng also felt strange when he did it.

Chinese food culture is extensive and profound.

Take fish for example. In most cases, fish must be eaten "fresh".

The fresher the fish, the more delicious it is.

Stinky mandarin fish is the complete opposite and needs to be marinated for a week.

The fish was completely dead.

Of course, marinating does not mean leaving the fish to rot.

After washing them, apply them with salt, pile them together, and put them in a sealed jar for marinating.

The ingredients still need to be good.

Mandarin fish is a unique type of food in China and is a relatively high-end ingredient. Stinky mandarin fish is also a high-end way to eat it.

Ordinary stores really can’t make authentic stinky mandarin fish.

Jiang Feng planned to set up a stall to sell smelly mandarin fish after he had finished researching it.

If everyone wants to eat what he cooks, then he will cook more.

Don't be secretive, just welcome guests.

Come and buy whatever you want.

The best smelly mandarin fish was marinated in several large jars.

I need to pickle some more every day.

Then, Jiang Feng went to hang out at the restaurant he wanted to buy.

He was soon discovered.

Several people immediately came over to say hello.

"Boss Jiang, you have come to Anhui. Are you going to open an Anhui restaurant?"

Someone asked with a smile.

"Yes, Yatsushiro cuisine is the best one."

Jiang Feng responded generously.

"It would be great if it was a chain store. It's not enough to only open eight Jiang Yue Tai stores!"

Someone said again.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng didn't know what to say.

It's not that he doesn't want to open it, it's because opening a Jiangyue Tai store takes a lot of effort.

The chefs at Jiang Yuetai are all serious chefs, and they were selected by him personally.

Not that easy to find.

Naturally, it is impossible to let go of the franchise. After all, it is not a standard dish and cannot be copied by others.

Basically, he focuses all his energy on this, and it will be quick to open a store in a few months.

And he can't invest too much.

Therefore, one restaurant is opened for each of the eight major cuisines to ensure that the quality is just right.

"Boss Jiang, when are you going to set up a stall? You will know how to set up a stall when you come here."

Others asked.

Jiang Feng is very popular, and he is the one that the people like more.

Ordinary people also enjoy chatting with him.

"In a few days, I've been pickling mandarin fish recently and preparing to set up a stall to sell stinky mandarin fish."

"It has to be marinated before it can be sold."

Jiang Feng replied with still a smile.

Everyone chatting with him felt that Jiang Feng had no airs at all and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Jiang Feng has always been like this.

After he entered the restaurant, the lobby manager took him to the private room. After confirming some matters, he began to tour the entire restaurant.

If nothing else goes wrong, the last restaurant will open within a month.

Restaurants from the eight major cuisines can be considered as fully assembled.
