Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall? Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Got a business deal from the temple!

Jiang Feng brought the egg fried rice to the monk and gave him a bowl of corn and pumpkin porridge.

 The time is now around 8:30, the ingredients prepared are almost sold, and the task has been successfully completed.

The monk was preparing to eat fried rice when a customer next to him asked:

“Master, can I come out of your temple on weekdays?”

“I have a friend's child who wants to become a monk, so I wanted to ask about the situation in the temple.”

 Hearing the guest's question, the monk replied:

“The daily work in the temple is tiring, including sweeping the floor, washing dishes, preparing meals, cleaning the hall, offering incense, providing water, holding morning and evening classes, and sending and receiving scriptures. All these tasks must be done.”

“You still have to memorize the scriptures, and you have to memorize them all.”

“Different temples have different rules, and the positions inside are also different,”

“It's easy to enter a temple, but it's difficult to get tonsured. Some monks shave their heads for six or seven years but never take the ordination.”

Hearing this, the guests next to him were even more interested.

Jiang Feng listened to the conversation between the two and found it interesting.

There are all kinds of guests. Listening to their conversations, you can learn something that you can't usually come into contact with.

“Master, what is your position in the temple?” the guest asked again.

The monk smiled and replied: "Strictly speaking, I am not a monk. I am responsible for the logistics and procurement of the temple. I have a cooperative relationship with the temple. In order to not stand out inside, I dress like this."

“I am responsible for ensuring the temple's food supply, delivering water and vegetables, etc.”

 After hearing his words, everyone suddenly realized.

 It turns out that he is not a serious monk.

“Master, it is said on the Internet that the first academic qualification for temple recruitment is to start with a 985 undergraduate degree, and the monthly salary is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Is this true or false?”

 “Is the monthly salary so high?”

The man asked again.

Hearing this, the monk smiled helplessly and replied:

 “This is all false, at least I haven't heard of it.”

“If you want to become a monk, there are several conditions. First, you must accept disciples in the temple, second, your family must agree, and third, you must be single and must not have any diseases, and you must not have any debts.”

“If you are willing to work, just memorize the scriptures.”

“If the message is really as good as it is, then there will be more applicants than pilgrims. Which temple have you seen with many applicants?”

 Hearing what he said, the guests all nodded.

 In fact, the monks in the temple are very tired, and so are the Taoist priests in the Taoist temples. However, everyone has only a limited understanding of whether the information on the Internet is true or false.

The monk was called Li Xiangfo. He felt that he was destined to be a Buddha, so he changed his name. Later, he started a vegetable and fruit business and got involved with the temple in Fengqi Mountain, so he became responsible for the temple's logistical support.

As time went by, he asked for a monk's robe, shaved his head, and put it on every time he went up the mountain.

 He prefers this feeling.

Li Xiangfo said no more, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried rice with eggs.

This egg fried rice looks so good.

 At least it was the best-looking plate of fried rice that Li Xiangfo had ever seen.

 The egg fried rice is shiny, and the rice is crystal clear and shiny.

Li Xiangfo is in charge of logistics and has contact with many chefs. He can also eat, so he is very knowledgeable about food.

 He took a mouthful of fried rice and put it in his mouth.

 The flavors of eggs and ham are the most obvious, and then the aroma of green onions and rice fills the mouth.

Li Xiangfo felt as if he was in the warm spring breeze, and his whole body became light.

too delicious!

Just the simplest ingredients can make such wonderful food.

 It is really a pleasure to eat!

The eggs are extremely smooth and tender and melt in your mouth; the rice is very chewy and chewy; the aroma of green onions tickles your taste buds; the ham is so elastic that it flicks on your teeth.

Each bite is a different pleasure.

 “It's delicious!”

Li Xiangfo's eyes lit up.

 The vegetarian food in the temple is relatively light. Although he believes in Buddhism at heart, he still likes to eat delicious food from outside.

 It is really rare to eat fried rice like this nowadays.

Li Xiangfo's appetite was whetted. He picked up the bowl and began to quickly pull the egg fried rice.

 The delicious fried rice entered his stomach, making him feel more and more comfortable.

 Until the plate of egg fried rice is completely cleaned.

 He put the plate down and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling indescribably comfortable.

Li Xiangfo tasted the corn and pumpkin porridge again.

 Sweet, rich.

 The aroma of corn is completely released.

 It's also very refreshing to drink.

 He finished the corn and pumpkin porridge again.

 “Boss, your craftsmanship is great.”

“Are you setting up a stall here for a long time? Can I place a few orders with you?”

Li Xiangfo looked at Jiang Feng and asked.

“Order?”Jiang Feng was curious.

“Well, breakfast in the temple is usually provided at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes it's porridge, pickles and steamed buns, and sometimes there are steamed buns.”

 “Of course, it can only be plain steamed buns.”

“Recently, the owner of the bun shop where I often order has returned to his hometown. I have been thinking about what to do these days.”

“No matter what, the logistics support must be done well.”

 Li explained to Fo.

To this, Jiang Feng nodded and agreed: "Of course there is no problem. Since we set up a stall here, we are doing business."

“It happens that there is not much traffic here, so I have time.”

 “That's great.” Li Xiangfu laughed immediately after hearing what he said.

“Then I'll order sixty plain steamed buns and thirty steamed buns tomorrow, and I'll pick them up around 6:10 in the morning. Is there any problem?”

Fengqi Mountain is a natural landscape mountain. Although there are tourists watching the sunrise and climbing on the mountain, the number of tourists is not too many.

 Especially during the week, the number of tourists is even less.

 Hence, business is not easy to do either.

 It is of course best to be able to do temple business, as this will make it much easier to complete the daily task of setting up a stall.

Jiang Feng replied:

 “No problem, I'll be here on time.”

 Li Xiangfo added:

“Be sure not to touch it with meat or fish. The monks in the temple will smell it and I will check it in advance.”

Jiang Feng nodded, "Don't worry, I understand. Even if you use oil, it must be vegetable oil."

Then, Jiang Feng asked again:

“Can monks eat eggs? Are eggs considered vegetarian or meat?”

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Li Xiangfo suddenly had a pious expression on his face:

"The Tripitaka says that all eggs that are born are inedible, as they all have children. Those who are sentient should not eat them. Although they are unconscious, they still have vitality. People who eat chicken eggs cannot eat them. Because they have vitality, they cannot eat them. Even if it is alive, it cannot be eaten.”

"Okay, I understand, but I can't eat it." Jiang Feng waved his hand and replied.

Li Xiangfo said again:

"Onions, ginger, garlic and the like are not acceptable either. I will send you a list of taboos later, and you can see if you can make them."

"no problem."

“Boss, I'll go up the mountain first.”

"good."

 Li saluted the Buddha, turned and left.

 As customers kept coming to the stall, Jiang Feng continued to entertain them.

at the same time.

 Shuize Resort Happy Ranch.

 Zhang Xinya was lying on the sofa and scrolling through videos. When she saw a comment about Jiang Feng, she immediately sat up.

 She saw a comment on a photo, and it was Jiang Feng's dining car in the photo.

 Zhang Xinya saw the comment message again:

 Fengqishan, a stall selling meat buns and egg fried rice.

 She was a little confused.

Why is this boss going to the suburbs to sell meat buns?

Although Shuize Resort is also a suburb, it has a large number of people and a large passenger flow.

 There are much fewer tourists in Fengqi Mountain.

 Zhang Xinya immediately went to find her father, Zhang Dashan.

“Dad, I know where the braised pork stall owner is.”

Zhang Dashan was playing with the sheepdog and looking at the sheep grazing in the distance. When he heard Zhang Xinya's words, he stood up immediately.

"where?"

“In Fengqishan, we only set up stalls selling meat buns and egg fried rice, not braised pork.”

 “Huh? Have you changed your career?”

 “Well, someone sent his photo.”

“Fengqi Mountain is not far away, half an hour's drive away. Let's go there tomorrow and have a look. The boss's braised pork is delicious. How about we try it for breakfast.”

 “Okay, let me see if I can get up.”

The two were chatting.

 While chatting, they thought about the braised pork made by Jiang Feng.

Whether it is fragrant or spicy, the taste is outstanding.

Now that I suddenly changed my career, I don't know how the breakfast tastes.

There are not a few people who think this way.

However, a large number of people still go for the braised pork. After all, they have never eaten breakfast made by Jiang Feng, so they don't know how the breakfast tastes.

And they think that a chef cannot be so versatile and can do everything.

 If he were omnipotent, he would really be a "God of Cooking"!
