Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall? Chapter 41

Chapter 41 The lively dining hall!

 Before the monk started eating, Li Xiangfo tasted the vegetarian steamed buns in advance.

 He took a bite.

 In an instant, the mixed aromas of various vegetarian dishes are released from your mouth.

 The chopped sweet potato flour is extremely chewy, the cabbage and carrots have a strong aroma, and the fungus makes a "click-click" sound when chewed.

 The taste is very fragrant, but not fishy at all.

Jiang Feng's oil control is very good. Although he poured hot soybean oil on the vegetable stuffing, he also added some water, and the proportion of oil was not heavy.

 Furthermore, the fat in cabbage and carrots has been stir-fried by the river wind, giving them the original flavor of the vegetables.

 Vegan dish, but delicious.

 The food in the temple is relatively light, which is also the requirement of the temple. You must be pure and have few desires.

 But many times, what everyone eats is too light and needs some flavor to spice it up.

For example, monks cannot eat chili peppers, but the spicy cabbage they make themselves can be eaten without chili peppers.

Jiangfeng's steamed buns completely fit this situation.

 It is said to be light and particularly fragrant, with the flavor of fried vegetable fillings.

　　It has a strong taste, but there is nothing wrong with it.

 “This bun is really good!”

“How did this stall owner manage to make vegan steamed buns so delicious?”

 “Master!”

Li Xiangfo admired Jiang Feng from the bottom of his heart.

 The temple business is not easy to do.

 Having very high dietary requirements.

The previous bun shop owner almost stopped doing temple business, and it was Li Xiangfo who had to talk hard to get people to agree.

In the past two days, the bun shop owner went back to his hometown to do business, which made Li Xiangfo very anxious.

 Later, when I met Jiang Feng, I came up with a solution.

 At this time, Zhang Mu, the temple's 【seat】 came over.

The so-called palace leader is the person in charge of the kitchen and dining hall, responsible for managing the food and porridge in the temple.

 Li Xiangfo has also been communicating with Zhang Mu.

Because they were very familiar with each other, Zhang Mu did not call Li Xiangfo "lay scholar", but called him by his name or title.

“Are you ready for the morning fast? The monks will be here in a while.”

 Zhang Mu asked.

 “Don't worry, it's no problem, we've found a new store.”

Li Xiangfo replied confidently.

“That's fine, I'm still a little worried. After all, many people don't understand the rules of the temple.”

 “These are today's steamed buns and steamed buns. You'll know after you try them.”

Li Xiangfo handed Zhang Mu a vegetarian bun.

 Zhang Mu took it and took a bite immediately.

 The bun skin exudes a fragrant flour aroma, and it seems to smell of fermented wheat, and the texture is exceptionally soft.

 The vegetables are mixed together and taste good when chewed.

Zhang Mu was a little surprised at first. It tasted so fragrant. Could it be that some ingredients were added that shouldn't be added?

 But he chewed it a few times and tasted it carefully, and found that it was the taste of the vegetable itself, and some condiments.

 It's delicious, but there's nothing wrong with it.

 Zhang Mu was also a little surprised.

 After eating in the temple for so many years, I have never been able to make vegetarian steamed buns to this extent.

 The vegetable steamed buns that ordinary people eat on weekdays either contain eggs, chopped green onions, or some chili peppers.

 After all, these things taste delicious after being fried.

 But the temple has high requirements, and the food is all vegetarian. No eggs, onions, ginger, garlic, or chili are added.

 It is not easy to make vegetarian food delicious.

 “This bun is good!” Zhang Mu praised.

 “Where did you buy it from?”

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, Li Xiangfo smiled and said:

"This is no secret. Yesterday, a small stall came to the small square halfway up the mountain."

“The owner of that stall is really awesome. He has set up stalls in two places before, and diners always lined up to chase him.”

 “I've seen his videos online.”

“Unexpectedly, he came to Fengqishan yesterday, so I took advantage of the situation and placed an order with him.”

 “This craft is really not just for boasting.”

　　“I made a request, and they didn't feel embarrassed at all and agreed wholeheartedly.”

 “The buns are good when they are made.”

“The steamed buns are good, but it's a pity that I didn't order enough steamed buns.” Li Xiangfo regretted a little.

 Should buy more.

Hearing this, Zhang Mu nodded and agreed with Li Xiangfo's words.

　　If you can still do this even if you ask for it, this boss is certainly awesome.

 At this time, the two young monks had already put out all the steamed buns and buns.

Not long after, the bell rang, and the monks came to the dining hall one after another to prepare for today's morning meal.

Going to morning classes and sitting in meditation are still very tiring.

 Everyone is already hungry.

The monks noticed that today's steamed buns seemed a little different from before.

 Steamed buns are larger, round, plump and delicate in appearance.

 When you pick it up, it feels strong and elastic.

This kind of steamed buns is undoubtedly delicious!

 Today's breakfast consists of steamed buns, steamed buns, millet porridge and pickles.

The monks took the buns and steamed buns from the plates and took a bite one after another.

"Um?"

 There were a few young monks who had just taken a bite of steamed buns, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

They thought the buns were taken by mistake and had meaty meat mixed in with them.

 But after chewing it twice more, I found that it clearly tasted like vegetable fillings.

Although the young monk is practicing spiritual practice, he is still young and cannot calm down completely.

 After eating such delicious steamed buns, I was naturally happy and looked a little excited.

 Older monks are very calm.

After they ate the steamed buns, they were also stunned for a moment, then tasted them for a while before starting to devour them.

 Everyone was excited to eat.

Had it not been for the fact that small talk was not allowed during the morning meal, many people would probably have to praise me.

 Today's morning fast was a little more lively than before.

 Everyone clearly feels that people are eating steamed buns and steamed buns faster than before.

There are a few young monks who have good physical strength and can grab a bun and take a few bites of it.

 The life in the temple is boring, and it is rare to encounter such delicious food.

 After a while, all the steamed buns and steamed buns on the plate were eaten.

 The abbot of the temple also ate steamed buns with vegetarian fillings.

He tasted it carefully, his expression did not change at all, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

 The abbot ate a steamed bun with vegetarian fillings, a steamed bun, and drank all the porridge in the bowl.

“Huiping, today's morning meal was very good. Did you find a new store?”

The abbot asked Zhang Mu.

 Zhang Mu's dharma name is "Huiping".

Zhang Mu hurriedly replied: "There is a small stall down the mountain. The owner of that stall is very good at cooking, and the food he makes attracts many people to queue up."

“He came to Fengqishan recently and is expected to set up a stall here for a few days. It happened that the previous shop owner went back to his hometown to rest, so we made a breakfast business with him.”

The monks in the Zhaitang heard the conversation between the two and realized that these delicious steamed buns and steamed buns came from a small vendor.

 Hearing what Zhang Mu said, the abbot nodded slightly.

 “You can make more reservations with him for breakfast.”

 “I see everyone is very happy with their food.”

 “This fasting meal can arouse everyone's emotions and make people enlightened and transparent.”

 “It is also beneficial to everyone's practice.”

Hearing what the abbot said, Zhang Mu quickly said:

 “Yes, I understand.”

 The monks all laughed.

 Everyone is looking forward to the steamed buns and steamed buns served in the morning meal.

 At the same time, in a small square halfway up the mountain.

The number of diners Jiang Feng entertained was still 25. Suddenly, the number jumped to more than 60, which meant that at least 35 people's orders were completed at one time.

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows and said secretly:

 “It should be a monk in the temple.”

“This is a good order. One-third of the task can be completed in one go.”

 There are many guests at this time.

At this moment, Jiang Feng saw several familiar faces appearing in the small square.
