Chapter 355: Chapter 352: Trending Topic, Master Jiang’s Spicy Pickled Chicken Feet!

The Harvest Festival, being a major marketplace gathering, is naturally bustling.

The scene is teeming with people.

A line has formed in front of one of the tents.

Many people want to buy ten pounds right away.

Hadan quickly says, "Everyone, these chicken feet are freshly made, it’s best to eat them early; buying too much to store will ruin the taste, it’s unnecessary."

"Buy according to your needs."

Hearing this from Hadan, a customer responds:

"Okay, got it, I’ll take ten pounds."

Hadan: "....."

"I’ll take eight pounds!"

"I’ll take five pounds!"

Customers at the back of the line fear missing out and start clamoring.

Jiang Feng has prepared eight hundred pounds of chicken feet this time, a very large stock, and has been preparing for a long time, making several large tubs.

But at this pace, they won’t last half a day.

The scene is bustling, many have heard the news and come rushing over.

The chicken feet taste great; they are definitely worth lining up for.

Buy a pound, put on gloves to eat, it’s quite an enjoyable experience.

At this time, Jiang Feng is also live-streaming the marketplace.

His popularity is high now, and he never exploits his followers for money, so slowly he has gained more and more loyal fans, and the livestream is lively.

Jiang Feng is controlling a drone to capture scenes of the tent.

"That over there is my ranch’s shop, lots of people in line."

"Every year the marketplace is bustling and lively, it’s great."

In the livestream, the long queue keeps extending backwards, people anxiously peeping to see if the chicken feet are sold out.

Lively and bustling, brimming with popularity.

Some people enjoy such rural marketplaces, feeling close to home, while others prefer the clear pricing and tidiness of shopping malls.

But looking at the marketplace through a livestream is quite interesting.

[Master Jiang’s sales are always booming!]

[I’m just not in Ximeng League, otherwise I’d be there too!]

[Master Jiang, I also want to eat these chicken feet, shouldn’t you offer some fan benefits!]

[How about a raffle with some chicken feet!]

Seeing everyone’s comments, Jiang Feng ponders for a moment, then says:

"Chicken feet aren’t easy to preserve, these are freshly made, completely different from those packaged ones."

"The weather’s hot now, can’t send by mail."

"There’s also flower cakes, beef sauce, all freshly made and delicious; leave them for one or two days and the taste changes."

"However, I could braise some beef and intestines for you, easy to carry, and in a few days we’ll have a raffle and give out a thousand portions."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, everyone is very happy.

Occasionally organizing giveaways and raffles can really boost followers’ enthusiasm.

Over at the tent, the chicken feet quickly sell out.

The last customer arrives at the tent and says:

"Try dredging some, I’ve been waiting half a day, I must taste them."

Seeing his eager expression, Hadan grabs a slotted spoon and scoops around in several large tubs, actually fishing out seven or eight.

The customer buys them and leaves satisfied.

"Today’s chicken feet are sold out, closing shop."

"Everyone don’t worry, we’ll be selling chicken feet for three days, there’s enough."

"Come back tomorrow, everyone."

Hadan calls out to the people behind him.

This place always has many vendors and tents, and on regular days it’s also a market, with especially many people on weekends when there’s a gathering.

Jiang Feng’s ranch is quite famous around here.

People are happy to buy the ranch’s products.

After Hadan and others finish selling chicken feet, they pack up their items onto the car, and then they also roam the market buying food.

In the afternoon they need to return to process the chicken feet, cooking them thoroughly.

Then Jiang Feng comes to season and marinate the chicken feet.

These days the process is familiar.

Being the Harvest Festival, everyone is full of enthusiasm.

Over here Jiang Feng picks out a few plump farm chickens and some large geese as backup ingredients.

The taste of farm chicken is still superior.

Then, he will also be busy preparing the chicken feet.

The market is still lively the next day.

The ranch’s truck arrives, opens the door, and brings down a big tub of chicken feet.

A long queue is already formed at the entrance.

Seeing them arrive, the customer at the front of the line hurriedly says:

"I’ll take ten pounds!"

Upon hearing this, Hadan waves his hand and says:

"Sorry, today there’s a limit on chicken feet purchases, a maximum of five pounds per person."

Hearing this from Hadan, the customer is slightly stunned.

"What? Even chicken feet have purchasing limits?"

Hadan quickly explains: "Sorry, our manager said, there are too many people buying chicken feet, so more people can have a taste, the limit is five pounds per person."

"Alright then, I’ll take five pounds."

The customer is somewhat disappointed, but still directly pays, carrying a bag full of chicken feet and leaving.

This big bag of chicken feet is enough for several people to enjoy as a snack with drinks, eating and drinking to their heart’s content.

People here drink quite heavily, and many herdsmen have money but few places to spend it, so when encountering such great snacks, they are not stingy in spending.

When the customers behind heard the limit was five pounds, some were surprised, others indifferent.

Some planned to buy more to store and eat slowly.

However, five pounds is already a considerable amount.

Jiang Feng originally planned to limit each person to three pounds, but later felt it was not quite appropriate, so he increased it a bit.

Someone who bought chicken feet first grabbed one and started eating right away.

No matter what, the most important thing is to take a bite first.

As the icy chicken feet entered the mouth, the spicy and sour sensation spread all over the body, making one feel comfortable all over.

Each chew allows them to savor the crispy texture of the chicken feet skin and tendons.

"Crunch, crunch!"

Even the sound becomes delicious.

This stuff is irresistible once you start eating, you just want to eat more.

The chicken feet are selling particularly well.

Jiang Feng didn’t leave the ranch today; he stayed here to handle the chicken feet.

Gelya, Yang Maolin, and Old Sun are all helping.

Gelya asked, "Master Jiang, you make chicken feet every day, and can still earn quite a bit."

"Why not do a little every day, let’s open a chicken feet shop."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng replied with a smile:

"It’s the harvest festival now, so the profits are higher, and the recipe for these chicken feet is nothing beyond those few ingredients. I bet in a while someone will figure it out."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Old Sun the chef nodded.

The recipe for a dish is, in fact, not a secret.

On the app 『Xiachufang』, all kinds of recipe are available.

Unless it involves a secret sauce that is complex in procedure and strict in proportion, which is harder to replicate.

Other dishes, skilled chefs can easily replicate.

Jiang Feng’s method of pickling chicken feet will surely be figured out soon by other skilled cooks, after all, Huaxia has many talents in cooking.

But Old Sun still remarked:

"Figuring out the method isn’t difficult, but it’s about how people execute it."

"Even with the same recipe, details like timing and heat need to be just right. The taste will differ based on who makes it."

"Master Jiang has an exceptional grasp on ingredients."

"Others may imitate, but they can only get it eighty percent right, unable to make it as delicious."

What Old Sun said makes sense.

But in terms of market, even getting it eighty percent right is good enough; many aren’t that picky.

Therefore, specializing in selling chicken feet isn’t necessary.

The ranch doesn’t lack that bit.

"Sell for another two days, and once the harvest festival is over, we’ll stop selling, and focus on the ranch work,"

"The ranch has a lot of things to do, this year’s hay cutting is slow; many people hire us for cutting, and fodder companies are also contacting me."

Jiang Feng said.

Running a ranch is all about generating income, and employees are the producers.

Selling hay, cutting grass for others, it’s all part of the ranch income.

It’s autumn, bustling production, the ranch is busy every day.

Jiang Feng is always here, answering calls, making deals.

With stable income, the staff benefits can improve.

The sales of chicken feet have been soaring, causing the price of chicken feet in the Ximeng League to rise a bit, but it soon stabilized.

Meanwhile, online, the chicken feet made by Jiang Feng unexpectedly went viral.

Mainly because many self-media bloggers went to the harvest festival specifically to buy Jiang Feng’s chicken feet.

After buying, they kept praising it.

They voluntarily endorsed it for Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng didn’t have products to endorse.

Thus, a crowd rushed to Jiang Feng’s live stream, constantly clamoring for chicken feet.

#Master Jiang’s Spicy and Sour Chicken Feet#

This topic gained a lot of discussion online.

Especially seeing the satisfied expressions on people’s faces after eating the chicken feet, it made everyone crave more.

Jiang Feng noticed this trend.

He was decisive too.

The next day, Jiang Feng started a live stream, addressing everyone:

"I didn’t expect the chicken feet to be this popular, so I’ll cut short the talk, and release a video today to share the chicken feet recipe."

"It’s actually not difficult, just pay attention to the timing each time you handle the ingredients."

"And use plumper chicken feet, along with better quality spices."

"Then you can make it."

"The broth can even be reused, you can pickle something like radish with it too."

At this moment, Jiang Feng turned into a food anchor.

Numerous families followed him to learn how to make chicken feet.

Some found chicken feet troublesome and learned to pickle radish slices instead.

This autumn, the spicy and sour flavor spread across the internet.

Jiang Feng specially released a video, the video quickly went viral, many joined in showcasing, posting their made chicken feet online.

Jiang Feng’s presence brought some vitality to the internet.

People showed off their culinary creations, creating a delightful atmosphere.

In today’s oppressive society, having something light-hearted like this is indeed rare.
