MTL - Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?-Chapter 178 New mission, I really can’t figure you out!
Chapter 178 New mission, I really can’t figure you out!
On the last day of the Sichuan restaurant, the scene was still lively.
Many people did not get the number plate and could only sigh in despair.
It seems that I am destined to have no connection with Sichuan cuisine.
Jiang Feng is as busy as ever.
During the break, Shen Hai and Jiang Feng chatted.
“Boss Jiang, you cook Sichuan food really well.”
“There will be a Sichuan cuisine competition in a while, do you want to sign up?”
“Many Sichuan chefs will be there by then.”
Shen Hai suggested with a smile.
“Sichuan Cuisine Competition?”
In my busy life, my days of working in a Sichuan restaurant are over.
It is to carve a carrot into the shape of a dragon head.
After bringing Xiao Hei home, Jiang Feng couldn't wait to go to the refrigerator and take out a fresh carrot.
Some food sculptors will draw lines and layout in advance before cutting.
Jiang Feng has no intention of participating in competitions, but he is still very interested in joining in the fun.
Carrot carving is very simple, just cut the carrot and carve it into petals.
It just so happens that I don’t have any great Sichuan chefs here.
Jiang Feng took a small knife and tried to carve a simple carrot.
He fed all the carrot flowers to Xiao Hei.
Then, Jiang Feng left the Old Flavor Sichuan Restaurant and started his new life.
He was very grateful to Jiang Feng for helping his restaurant stay open.
After getting the skill rewarded by the system, knife skill advancement-carving proficiency, he wanted to give it a try.
Some places are difficult to carve, such as the teeth in the dragon's mouth, which are easily broken.
“Well, not bad!”
After chatting with Shen Hai, I learned that Sichuan will hold a Sichuan cuisine competition every few years, with the focus being on making creative dishes.
Jiang Feng thinks that Shen Hai and his wife Zhu Hong are both very good people.
The knife danced in his hand.
It seems that the mission location selected by the system and the character of the boss are reliable.
Jiang Feng planned to go there and take a look. Maybe he could find some good Sichuan chefs and hire them.
In the evening, Shen Hai prepared a banquet for Jiang Feng, specially to see Jiang Feng off.
Otherwise, the restaurant business would not be so easy to do.
Many Sichuan chefs will participate.
“It’s good to go to this kind of event. You can see all kinds of dishes in full bloom. It’s also an opportunity for me to learn.”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng just smiled and replied: "It's not that easy."
This is really an opportunity.
This is a bit difficult.
Then, Jiang Feng began to try to carve an advanced version, carving dragon heads from carrots.
This is especially true for Sichuan chefs from major catering brands.
But when Jiang Feng came, everything changed.
He is just a passer-by in this Sichuan restaurant, but he has brought an insurmountable peak to this Sichuan restaurant.
Soon, the carrot flowers were carved out.
This is just the basic version, Jiang Feng is using it to get familiar with the feel.
The next step is to figure out how to open a restaurant, and you must plan the situation in advance.
Shen Hai drank a lot of wine during the banquet.
His hands are very dexterous.
Jiang Feng devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. In about twenty minutes, he carved out a lifelike dragon head.
Lao Weiwei Sichuan Restaurant is a small business. If it does not open for a few days, it will be really difficult for Shen Hai.
If you draw a few more times with ink, the image will be more realistic.
Xiao Hei is not picky and eats whatever Jiang Feng feeds.
Shen Hai nodded in agreement, "Boss Jiang, with your skills, it's possible to become a chef."
Jiang Feng responded.
“This skill is very useful.”
Jiang Feng was satisfied and took a bite of the radish faucet. The radish was extra crispy and sweet, and tasted crunchy.
While eating radishes, he was thinking that he might be able to sign up for this year's Sichuan cuisine competition.
The Sichuan Cuisine Competition first looks at creativity and then taste.
That is to say, the dishes must be made good-looking.
Such a competition is not mainly about practicality, but mainly about viewing. Of course, the taste will definitely not be bad.
The dishes prepared by the chefs are not for daily consumption. The focus is on communication and learning.
Jiang Feng’s chef skills are already solid, and now he has a carving skill at his disposal.
You can go and show your skills.
“I have always kept a low profile, and I don’t know if there is any shady behind this kind of competition organized by the province.”
“You can go and give it a try. The official competition should be very formal.”
Jiang Feng was thinking about it.
Go and look at other chefs’ dishes and learn from their experience.
There are many great chefs in China.
Jiang Feng has always believed that he still needs to keep learning.
The rest of the time will be relatively free.
Jiang Feng took a good rest at home before the system tasks arrived.
Invite people to see giant pandas and watch performances.
During this period, I also got to know some enthusiastic diners. Spending time socializing makes life comfortable.
Two days later, Jiang Feng received an unexpected phone call.
That means He Fei, the owner of Sichuan Flavor Restaurant, really has plans to sell the restaurant.
However, the price of this kind of restaurant is high. He Fei wants to sell it for 25 million.
But Jiang Feng pointed out that this is already an old city and the buildings are also old, so they are not worth that much.
In fact, you can calculate the approximate price of a restaurant by looking at the surrounding housing prices, shop rents, etc., and the price is pretty much the same.
The final transaction price was set at 20 million.
After setting the price, Jiang Feng planned to renovate, which would cost more than 3 million yuan.
The price is not low.
Jiang Feng doesn’t have enough cash, but for those with capital, it’s easy to make money. With Jiangyuetai Shandong Restaurant as a guarantee, the bank loan can be approved in minutes.
What should be taken down should be taken down.
Jiang Feng is a very decisive person. If he decides to buy a restaurant, he will not hesitate.
He currently has 13 to 4 million in cash. Counting restaurants, small villas, and various works of art, his assets should be over 100 million.
But while he was negotiating, the task of the system came up at the right time.
【Start the mission: Set up a stall in Liulangwan for 7 consecutive days, selling 100 pieces of Western food (steak, French lamb chops, French snails, Italian pizza, etc.) every day】
【Task reward: 10 million cash reward】
【Get recipe: Steak recipe*3】
【Whether to accept? 】
Jiang Feng was stunned again when he saw the system task.
what's the situation?
Set up a stall selling Western food in Liulangwan?
Liulangwan is one of the most popular food streets in the city. There are many stalls selling a variety of delicious snacks.
Chengdu has always been famous for its snacks, and there are countless delicious snacks.
Now the mission actually requires Jiang Feng to sell Western food there.
It’s outrageous.
Jiang Feng’s acting style has always been unpredictable.
Netizens have studied his experience in setting up a stall.
Selling steamed buns, rice bowls, stinky tofu, and even ice cream.
The main theme is to do whatever you want.
Seems like he can do everything.
It's like a line from the movie "MasterChef":
“I really can’t figure you out!”
It seems that it is not impossible to set up stalls selling Western food in a snack street.
“No one seems to have done this before, so it might as well give it a try.”
“Come to a hearty Western food stall, selling steak.”
Jiang Feng thought to himself.
Then, he contacted the shipping company and asked them to ship his dining car from Ludong to Chengdu.
This dining car minibus is also an old employee of Jiangfeng.
It has extremely strong performance and is perfect for setting up stalls.
Considering that setting up a stall requires hiring employees, Jiang Feng contacted a young man in advance.
This young man is called Sun Zhuangfei. He was an apprentice to Jiang Feng when he was working at the old Sichuan restaurant.
He is down-to-earth, hard-working, and doesn’t like to talk much.
What Jiang Feng admired more was that this young man was very meticulous in his work.
For example, when cutting and washing vegetables, you are very careful.
When cooking boiled fish, he can remove the mucus from the boiled fish and scrape off all the scales according to Jiang Feng's requirements.
Jiang Feng felt comfortable with his help.
Sun Zhuangfei came to apply for the job immediately after receiving Jiang Feng’s request.
Jiang Feng told him the next arrangements.
“In the next week, I will go to Liulangwan to set up a stall selling Western food. Starting tomorrow, I will open the stall around five o’clock in the afternoon.”
“My plan is to sell steaks.”
“You will follow me then and you will be mainly responsible for setting the table and cleaning the table.”
Sun Zhuangfei respected Jiang Feng very much and admired him very much.
I just cooked Sichuan cuisine last week and I couldn’t help but admire it.
Jiang Feng’s cooking skills are really amazing.
Moreover, Jiang Feng himself is also a big shot, and his deeds can be found online.
After Sun Zhuangfei learned about it, he fell in love with Jiang Feng.
Now that he heard that Jiang Feng wanted to hire him again, he naturally rushed over without stopping.
Jiang Feng gave him very good treatment, three hundred and fifty yuan a day.
After all, Jiang Feng is not short of money and treats his employees very well.
Sun Zhuangfei immediately agreed: "No problem, boss, I will be there on time tomorrow."
At this time, Jiang Feng saw that the clothes he was wearing were a little dirty and torn.
I thought about it and transferred a thousand yuan to him on WeChat.
“Go and change your clothes. Just wear something a little cleaner when I set up a stall here.”
“Setting up a stall is not a kitchen, we have to face the customers directly. We dress cleanly and the customers can eat with confidence.”
Sun Zhuangfei heard what Jiang Feng said and nodded in agreement:
“Don’t worry, boss!”
Such a boss is rare to see in a thousand years, and he actually gives me money to buy clothes.
Everything is finalized.
At this moment, Jiang Feng has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
The next day, Jiang Feng’s dining car also arrived.
He rented a small yard to park the car, then cleaned the food truck and started marinating the beef in advance.
Making steak is not that simple, especially top quality steak.
Jiang Feng has always been serious about cooking.
With the beef and various side dishes prepared, Jiang Feng drove the dining car slowly towards Liulang Bay.
The day when stalls are set up again.
It’s quite relaxing and interesting.
Not long after, Jiang Feng arrived at the designated stall area in Liulangwan.
From a distance, he saw a man, a young man, standing where he was setting up a stall.
This man was wearing a suit and a tuxedo, with a pair of white gloves on his hands. He held his head high and looked like a butler of a manor.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He saw that the man seemed to be Sun Zhuangfei.
Sun Zhuangfei was so exaggerated that Jiang Feng almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
No, is setting up a stall like this?
Are you going to play the piano?
Still wearing a tuxedo?
Sun Zhuangfei thought that Jiang Feng was going to sell Western food and give himself money to buy clothes, so it must meet the standards of Western food.
So, he bought a tuxedo, which was not a certain brand and was quite cheap, less than one thousand.
He felt that he would definitely make his boss look good.
He didn't know that at this time, Jiang Feng already felt that he was completely humiliated.
