Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall? Chapter 278

 Making top-notch state banquet dishes is not fast.

Hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix also requires Jiang Feng to carefully handle every process.

 So, for new orders, he can only process them in order.

 At the same time, customers who enter the store will also be told that this dish cannot be made for the next two hours.

 Because the quantity is limited and the method is complicated, you can only wait two hours.

 State banquet dishes are not that easy.

Jiang Feng makes six servings at a time, which can be done twice in an hour.

It's better to leave the plate arrangement and turnip carving to others.

 Otherwise, the speed will only be slower.

 He was concentrating on cooking.

 State banquet dishes involve a lot of details.

 Soon, dishes were served one after another.

 “He's really different.”

In this line of work, no one has to work hard and accumulate in the kitchen for decades before finally achieving something.

Wang Shulin likes this feeling very much.

 Good restaurants require queuing, especially for chefs.

Wang Shulin has been working hard in the chef industry all his life, and he has also encountered situations where customers have to wait for hours to eat delicious food.

   is not uncommon.

 The two of them did not sit in the box, but in the lobby.

Hearing Wang Shuran's words, Wang Shulin just smiled.

Hearing Wang Shulin's words, Wang Shuran was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it, he just said:

“Grandpa, the owner of this restaurant is very good at cooking. My friend highly recommends him to me.”

 An old man who was nearly seventy years old walked into Jiangyuetai Zhejiang Restaurant with his granddaughter.

 But only when you actually make it do you know how difficult this dish is.

"You have not been interested in cooking at all for so many years. You have never even been in the kitchen. You even get bored when we talk about cooking."

Jiang Feng even weighs the spices, accurate to within 1 gram.

 Good craftsmanship deserves it.

 Because Wang Shuran is a fan of Jiang Feng.

 “He is different.”

 At this moment.

 This old man is a very powerful character called Wang Shulin.

“And, in order to taste his craftsmanship, I queued for an extra two hours, and now it's our turn.”

 He was once the person in charge of the state banquet chef. To put it simply, he was responsible for the arrangement and verification of the state banquet dishes.

 Along the way, Wang Shuran chattered endlessly, telling Wang Shulin how powerful the river wind was, and he spoke happily and happily.

 “I like him very much, and I can finally have a taste of it today.”

 After all, a young man in his early twenties, no matter how good his cooking skills are, how good can he be?

“The feeling in the video is very attractive.”

Wang Shulin didn't say anything more, just thinking that young people like things on the Internet.

Wang Shuran's granddaughter Wang Shuran said with excitement on her face.

 At the same time, he was also the president of the Jiangsu Cuisine Association.

“Your grandfather and I are the serious president of the Jiangsu Cuisine Association. Your father is also in the Jiangsu Cuisine Association now, and he is also a famous chef.”

Wang Shulin also said in a dumbfounded way:

 “He is no ordinary chef.”

 He doesn't understand things about young people, he just wants his granddaughter to be happy.

 The heat, ingredient ratio, technique, time, etc. are all very particular.

 I have watched a lot of videos online, and I started to like them unconsciously.

From the side, it seems that it is no different from cooking other dishes.

 “Now tell me, what do you like is a cook?”

 The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, with people laughing and chatting.

Everyone praised this dish for its beautiful appearance and delicious taste, but little did they know that it took a lot of effort behind the scenes.

 It's just that now that I have retired, I will enjoy my old age and no longer care about business matters.

The two of them didn't order much, so they ordered four dishes. Wang Shulin tasted the dishes and nodded in admiration.

This dish tastes really good.

 It is also a relatively high quality product in restaurants.

Wang Shuran looked left and right, looking back and forth, waiting for the birds to approach the phoenix.

 Soon, this dish was on the table.

Wang Shulin's eyes immediately focused on this dish.

This dish is a serious state banquet dish, and it is the best among state banquet dishes.

 Simply put, this dish will not appear in an ordinary banquet.

 After all, the method is very sophisticated, there are many processes, and each process requires a lot of effort.

 But just such a dish appeared in a restaurant by the West Lake.

Wang Shulin only thought it was an ordinary dish and didn't pay much attention to it. But now that he saw it, he felt that this dish was not simple.

 “It's finally here, I'm just waiting for it!”

Wang Shuran was very happy and quickly took out his mobile phone to take pictures.

I took several sets of photos before I put down my phone with satisfaction.

“Grandpa, what do you think of this dish?”

Wang Shuran asked expectantly.

Wang Shulin nodded and replied:

“It's quite good. The birds on the plate are very unique and delicate in shape, which shows that the chef who made this dish is a skillful person.”

 “The overall taste is very light, dominated by the taste of chicken soup, but not that active.”

“This kind of dish that doesn't have a strong taste is also the standard for selection at state banquets and will not affect the taste of other dishes.”

Wang Shulin said as he began to taste Jiang Feng's craftsmanship. Naturally, he has also done it.

 And he has also entertained foreign guests.

This dish does take a lot of work.

He first tasted a few bites of the bird. The taste of chicken and shrimp bloomed in his mouth, and he couldn't help but look satisfied.

very nice!

 Unexpectedly delicious!

 This is definitely in line with the level of a state banquet!

Then Wang Shulin took another bite of the chicken. He tasted the flavors of ham, fried crab, duck gizzards, mushrooms, and the faint fragrance of lotus leaves.

 When the chicken is stewed in a casserole, a layer of lotus leaves will be spread underneath.

This layer of lotus leaves can perfectly retain the fresh flavor of the chicken.

After taking this sip, Wang Shulin's expression became a little serious.

He knew that this dish was a very authentic version of Bai Niao Chao Feng, and there was no deviation in the taste.

 This shows that Jiang Feng has definitely learned this dish.

 But there are not many chefs who know how to cook this dish now. After all, almost all chefs on the market learn the craft to make a living. Who would learn such a labor-intensive and difficult dish as Bai Niao Chao Feng.

“Grandpa, what's wrong? The chicken tastes wrong? Isn't it delicious?”

Wang Shuran noticed that Wang Shulin's expression was wrong and asked.

 “It's not wrong, it's so right!”

“I didn't expect that someone in this restaurant could actually make the authentic Bai Niao Chao Feng!”

 “Who is this chef?”

Hearing this, Wang Shuran said with a smile:

“I read on the Internet that some people said that he comes from a family of chefs or something, and that he has been a chef since he was a child.”

 “I don't know the specifics.”

Wang Shulin became interested in Jiang Feng.

 Young people in their early twenties can make authentic Bainiaochaofeng.

Moreover, he is not proud of himself. He actually made a hundred servings for diners in his own restaurant that day!

He had only seen this kind of story in the 1970s and 1980s, an era when technology was underdeveloped.

It means that when a big restaurant opens, in order to make more business, the waiters in the restaurant will go around the streets and talk about how many famous dishes the master chef will make on the opening day.

 Unexpectedly, I saw it now on Jiangyue Terrace.

 Very strange.

 Youdao means that the dishes are judged by the character.

Wang Shulin could tell that Jiang Feng was definitely a person with a particularly powerful mind just by looking at the taste of a dish and Jiang Feng's behavior of making birds pay homage to the phoenix.

“It's an eye-opener to meet such a talented person.”

 “I've been in this business for so many years and I've never seen it before!”

Wang Shulin was full of praise for Jiang Feng.

 At this moment, Jiang Feng walked out of the kitchen.

He didn't want to come out, but the guests were too enthusiastic, so Jiang Feng always came out to say hello to the guests.

 “Look, it's Boss Jiang!”

 “Ah, it's alive! I see it's alive!”

 “Hello, Boss Jiang!”

Jiang Feng appeared in the lobby, wearing a chef's apron and a chef's hat, dressed like a chef.

 But he is tall, has a good temperament, and gives people a very different feeling.

Jiang Feng said to everyone:

 “Thank you everyone for supporting Jiang Yuetai's business.”

  “If you have any comments or suggestions about the restaurant, please feel free to submit them.”

 “I will fully consider everyone's suggestions.”

Hearing this, a guest immediately asked:

“Boss Jiang, can you do more for Birds of a Feather?”

Jiang Feng looked at the guest and said with a smile:

“I'm sorry, this dish is really labor-intensive and takes time. I've tried my best to make it, but I can't meet everyone's needs. I hope you can forgive me.”

Jiang Feng was very grand when he spoke, giving people the feeling of being rich.

 After all, there are three restaurants, so it is naturally very powerful.

Wang Shuran cheered excitedly.

 “It's Boss Jiang, my God, he's so handsome!”

 She took out her mobile phone and hurriedly took pictures.

Wang Shulin sat aside and observed quietly.

He sighed and thought to himself:

 “You are so young!”

At this moment, Wang Shulin felt that time was ruthless, and people get older as they say.

I also feel that Jiang Feng can have such cooking skills and state of mind at such a young age, which is really admirable.

 Looking at Jiang Feng, he had other thoughts in his mind.

If Jiang Feng's cooking skills are good, you can also ask him to help with some banquets for foreign guests.

Of course, these things are not that simple. After all, chefs who can go to the state banquet must be reviewed, have experience, and be recommended by the association, which is not easy.

 Unless there is a dish that no one else can cook, only he can cook it.

Then an exceptional invitation will be made.

 This kind of thing has happened before.

Jiang Feng said hello to everyone and then went back to the kitchen.

After he left, Wang Shulin asked Wang Shuran:

“You said he opened several restaurants, right?”

“Well, there are three restaurants including this one, a Shandong cuisine restaurant, a Sichuan cuisine restaurant, and this Zhejiang cuisine restaurant, all of which are doing very good business.”

“I saw people online saying that he is going to open a restaurant for all eight major cuisines.”

 “Specially thoughtful.”

Hearing this, Wang Shulin nodded secretly. He only thought of four words:

  “The next generation is to be feared.”

 He also became interested in Jiang Feng's affairs. (End of chapter)
