MTL - Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?-Chapter 219 Set up a stall! Justify the reputation of snail noodles!

 Early in the morning, the weather was fine.

 Spring has begun, and the weather is warm.

Jiang Feng and Sun Zhuangfei took a taxi and rushed all the way to the vehicle transportation company.

 Some people need to use a car across provinces, but don’t want to drive it themselves, so they will find a vehicle to transport the car.

 The price is a bit higher than tolls and gas prices.

 Jiang Feng’s dining truck found such a company.

 The two of them were going to open a food truck.

Vehicle consignment is very common on the highway. It is a very large truck pulling two rows of cars behind it, which can pull eight to ten cars at a time.

Jiang Feng’s dining car is also among them.

 On the highway, a small group of people drove as usual, driving in the fast lane.

Just when he passed the big truck next to him, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the vehicle pulled by the big truck.

 This is a truck that transports cars.

It carries jeeps and cars.

 On the second floor, a cartoon bus looks particularly conspicuous.

The most important thing is that the cartoon bus is branded with food pictures, and it looks like a common food truck in a snack street.

 “I’ll go, I read that right!”

 “Food truck consignment?”

“The freight is more expensive than the food truck.”

 “Who has such an idea!”

 The young man exclaimed in surprise.

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

It’s not like I’ve never seen a truck transporting vehicles before, but it’s quite strange that it carries a food truck.

 Leave him alone, even the delivery master was confused when he checked in the dining car.

 After confirming that there was no problem several times, I took the dining car and rushed to Hangzhou.

There was no problem along the way, and soon the truck drove into the car shipping company.

By the time Jiang Feng and Sun Zhuangfei arrived, the dining car had already arrived.

 Seeing the dining car, both of them nodded with satisfaction.

This familiar feeling of setting up a stall came to my face.

Jiang Feng confirmed that there was no problem with the car and came to the driver's seat.

Sun Zhuangfei couldn’t drive, so he could only sit on the fixed seat in the back.

Jiang Feng drove into the car, preparing to buy a wave of supplies, and then go to set up a stall outside the park at noon.

 If you want to set up a stall, you must have a place to cook.

Jiang Feng rented a store here where he can cook.

  Anyway, the task in Hangzhou has to be done three times, and the store must be used all the time.

 The two of them went to buy ingredients again.

 The most purchased items are snails.

The snail is very heavy, but fortunately it’s easy for two people to work on it.

Jiang Feng is preparing the spices here, and Sun Zhuangfei is washing the snails in the basin.

Each snail must have its tail cut off so that the snail can be washed more cleanly.

Jiang Feng began to mix spice packets and make soup stock.

 Spices include sand ginger, star anise, xiangguo, cinnamon, tangerine peel, bay leaves, pepper, hay, amomum villosum, turmeric, cloves, and rice wine. Put these things in a bag and put them into the pot.

 In addition, a few large pig bones, a few large beef bones, chicken skeletons and pig skins are also required.

 The soup needs to be simmered for more than two hours.

The soup stock cooked in this way has a rich aroma and a good taste.

 There is no trace of technology or hard work.

 When you drink soup, all you drink is the essence.

Sun Zhuangfei washed the snails silently.

 Wash the snails is a strenuous job, you have to wash them back and forth at least six times.

 After washing, you need to blanch it in a pot and then take it out to ensure that it is washed cleanly.

 Snail noodle, the taste of field snail is very important.

 Snail rice noodles made from snails that cannot be washed well will have a fishy smell and the taste will not be that delicious.

In order to pursue the ultimate delicacy, the snails must be washed clean.

 This is also the reason why many snail noodles are not delicious.

 The store's food is not that hygienic.

After washing them all, Jiang Feng heated a large pot on the stove, put the washed snails in the pot and stir-fried them until they smelled a little like crabs, and fried the water in the snails completely.

 Then, add various spices and seasonings, and fry the snails again.

 Put the fried snails into the soup stock and heat it, and the soup is ready.

 The next step is the side dishes, this step is very simple.

 Including fried sour bamboo shoots, fried fungus, sour beans, diced radish, fried yuba, boiled rice noodles, and fried peanuts.

Put all these things in a bowl, add a few spoonfuls of broth, and you will have a steaming serving of snail noodles.

 The snail noodles made by Jiang Feng are spicy and hot, the noodles are chewy, there are many side dishes, and they are very appetizing.

 The noodles should be slurped in big mouths, and the soup should be drank from a bowl.

Every ingredient is fresh, making it enjoyable to eat.

The two of them were busy and almost ready, so they drove the dining car towards the outside of Wansong Academy.

 There is an area in this place with several stalls.

Jiang Feng has learned from their vendors that the urban management team will not come before noon to 7 p.m.

 You can set up a stall here.

Jiang Feng plans to keep a low profile.

 After all, he is only a regional fireman now. Even if someone knows him, they will not recognize him so quickly.

 Several food trucks with food stalls have been parked on the roadside.

 There are those selling fried noodles, some selling small noodles, and some selling pancakes.

Jiang Feng found a place to stop and set out a small table and chairs.

Next to him was an aunt selling starch sausages, and next to him was an old man selling prepared vegetables. There were also several bowls of braised pork with pickled vegetables. Jiang Feng looked left and right, thinking about changing places.

 The fight against counterfeiting has been quite intense recently.

How come everyone is still working together?

 Those who don’t know think they are catching typical examples!

So Jiang Feng asked Sun Zhuangfei to put away the tables and chairs and set up a stall in another place.

 The changing place is far away from the entrance of the academy, so the passenger flow will be relatively less.

But that’s okay.

 Then, it’s time to wait for business.

 Two people were waiting in the car.

On the light box of the dining car, it says:

  High-quality snail noodles: 15 yuan a bowl

There are several large iron basins placed on the window, in which ingredients such as pickled bamboo shoots, fungus, beans, diced radish, yuba, and peanuts are placed.

 Just wait for the guests to come, cook the noodles, add these ingredients, and pour a ladle of steaming snail soup on top.

This bowl of wonderful red oil snail noodles is complete.

However, setting up stalls today is different from those in the past.

I have been waiting here for a long time, but no one has come.

 Business is a bit bleak.

This is the first time Jiang Feng has encountered such a situation.

 He thought for a while and wrote on the light box:

“Purely handmade snail noodles, delicious and fragrant.”

 Everyone is afraid of odorizers, for fear of accidentally eating the extracted "Oligen Essence".

Jiang Feng wrote this out of helplessness.

“Boss, the snail noodle incident has been very violent recently, and many people are talking about it.”

“If we set up a stall at this time, will we risk committing crimes?”

Sun Zhuangfei asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng felt helpless.

 It’s not just for your own restaurant.

 But he still said calmly:

 “There is no wrong food, only the wrong business.”

“Snail noodles are a traditional delicacy and should not be misunderstood.”

 “I just want to rectify the reputation of snail noodles.”

“Let everyone know that snail noodles are very delicious and have no smell. The news that snail noodles are smelly mentioned on the Internet are all wrong and false.”

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Sun Zhuangfei showed admiration on his face.

 The boss is the boss, this level is really high.

 The two of them were sitting in the dining car in a daze.

At this moment, not far away, a young couple was looking in the direction of the dining car.

Girl: "Look over there, it's snail noodles, which I love very much. Come on, come and have a bowl with me!"

 Boy: "Have you not read the recent news? There is an odorizer in snail noodles, which is unhygienic."

　　Girl: “Yes, I did, but isn’t that the snail noodles purchased online? Look at that store’s sign saying handmade snail noodles, it’s no problem.”

Boys: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

Girl: "Try it. I haven't eaten it for a long time, so I'll just have a bowl."

Boy: "Okay, you eat, I won't."

 The two of them made up their minds and came to Jiang Feng’s dining car.

 “Boss, let’s have a bowl of snail noodles.”

 The girl placed an order immediately.

"no problem."

 Seeing that there was business, Jiang Feng immediately started to get busy.

 He began to cook the noodles skillfully, controlling the temperature of the water before adding the vermicelli, ensuring that the vermicelli was cooked just right, neither old nor hard, and had a springy texture.

 Put a spoonful of powder into the bowl, and then add various ingredients one by one.

 Put in all the pickled bamboo shoots, fungus, beans, diced radish, yuba and peanuts.

 A fried egg must be added on top.

 Finally, Jiang Feng opened the pot of simmering soup, scooped out a spoonful of rich and delicious soup, and poured it on the vermicelli.

 Steam is coming out of the bowl.

 As the stock soaks, the fats and oils of the ingredients begin to dissolve into the stock.

There is a layer of visible oil on the surface of the soup, and there is also a red sheen from chili oil.

“Boss, your snail noodles look very good!”

 Girls have good personalities, praise them.

“Purely handmade, you can rest assured that the taste will be absolutely authentic.”

Jiang Feng replied with a smile.

The boy asked: "Aren't there those additives mentioned on the Internet?"

Jiang Feng added: "These are all freshly made, and authentic snail noodles have no smell. At most, they smell like sour bamboo shoots."

“You can tell if there are any additives by smelling it.”

The taste of snail noodles is fresh, spicy, sour and fragrant.

 The sour taste comes from sour beans and pickled bamboo shoots.

 There is never a word for "stinky".

The girl smelled it and felt that this bowl of snail noodles was extremely tempting, which aroused her greed.

 Looking at it makes me want to eat it.

The boys also took a look.

 He swallowed his saliva and said again:

“Boss, give me a bowl too, and add more coriander and chili.”

Jiang Feng nodded and replied:

"OK, wait."

 Then he started busy again. (End of chapter)
