Chapter 344: Chapter 344

For several days in a row, Jiang Feng was busy at the Hunan Cuisine Restaurant.

Reputation continued to ferment.

The taste of what he made, needless to say.

Every guest who tasted the food couldn’t stop praising the dishes at Jiangyue Terrace.

Especially those made by Jiang Feng, which never disappointed.

Now Jiang Feng is considered the hottest chef in the country.

Before the restaurant’s opening, the system also released a related task, serving three hundred diners daily.

With three hundred diners, at least two to three people per table, so it was easy to complete the task.

Because of this, Jiang Feng obtained some recipes.

This week’s system task reward was a watch, a luxury item worth millions.

Jiang Feng didn’t pursue these things, but having it at home looked nice and added to his collection.

On the seventh day, Jiang Feng decided to do something big.

After six days of making home-cooked meals, it was time to show some skills.

Repeating home-cooked meals every day was a bit tiring, not due to exhaustion, but a bit boring.

Since the excitement was there, it was time to make some top-notch dishes.

Luckily, he had a top-notch dish recipe in his hands.

This dish would surely dazzle everyone.

The method wasn’t difficult, just eighteen kinds of meatballs in a pot, a pot of snow-white thick soup, and once the water started boiling, you’d see the meatballs surface one by one.

Removing one, another would float up, giving an endless feeling.

This dish was called Snow Hidden Treasures.

There’s a tale behind the origin of the dish, saying that a Salt Merchant was robbed by bandits while on the road and, during the coldest winter month, hungry and cold, he sought food at a peasant’s house.

Turns out, the peasant put a lump of snow in the pot after boiling.

The Salt Merchant was amazed as the snow melted, and meatballs floated up one by one in the pot.

Since different meatballs cooked at different times, the ones that cooked first would float first.

So, you’d eat one when it floated, like a continuous magic show, hence the famous dish Snow Hidden Treasures was born.

Jiang Feng obtained the recipe and knew how to make the dish.

So, the night before, he called over two head chefs to help him roll the meatballs.

The stuffing was naturally seasoned by him, and he was responsible for the marinating taste, while the head chefs assisted.

This Snow Hidden Treasures consisted of eighteen kinds of meatballs.

Nine meat, nine vegetarian.

The meat included pork, beef, lamb, chicken, duck, goose, fish, shrimp, crab

The vegetarian included shiitake, straw mushroom, oyster mushroom, golden ear, silver ear, wood ear, bamboo shoots, lettuce, asparagus

All made into meatballs, each with different seasonings.

The kitchen was filled with clean white plates.

After rolling the meatballs, they were placed on the plates.

The eighteen kinds of meatballs were placed in separate areas.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with meatballs.

The operations team at Jiangyue Terrace was filming videos.

Whenever there was an opening, the operations team would definitely come and shoot some promotional videos.

With Jiang Feng present, the videos always had high popularity. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net

The kitchen scene was quite unusual.

The head chefs didn’t know what Jiang Feng planned to do, but each meatball was very exquisite, and whether cooked in soup or eaten as meatballs, both seemed delightful.

Jiang Feng didn’t waste the leftover crab shells, chicken bones, pork bones, etc., from making the meatballs.

These were all ingredients for simmering a high-quality broth.

While rolling the meatballs, he simultaneously started simmering the broth.

This step was quite a hassle.

Busy until late, Jiang Feng then arranged the next steps.

"Alright, put these meatballs in the basins, pour in the broth, then freeze them in the ice cellar."

"I’ll adjust the temperature."

"Make sure each basin has eighteen different meatballs."

"The meatballs need to be frozen for a certain time to be more flavorful."

Jiang Feng told everyone.

Everyone followed his instructions and began freezing the meatballs.

Each basin was filled with eighteen meatballs, then broth was added and placed in the freezer to freeze.

The freezing temperature was also quite odd.

One head chef said to Jiang Feng:

"Boss, at this temperature, the basins are likely to frost over."

"By that time, there will be white frost, like snow, and it’ll be hard to handle."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"That’s the effect I want."

"Making this dish takes up space, and tomorrow the kitchen will be too busy with no place for so many meatballs."

"By preparing it in advance today, I’ll also have a more relaxed tomorrow."

"Get everything in place."

The ice cellar was very clean, without any other food smells.

Jiang Feng had high standards in this regard to avoid ruining the taste of his meatballs.

Everything was ready, and it was already very late.

Fortunately, by preparing today, tomorrow wouldn’t require much effort.

When guests entered Jiangyue Terrace, the first thing they did was look at the bulletin board.

To see if Jiang Feng was the head chef today and what dish he would make.

Today, Jiang Feng was still the head chef.

And the dish Jiang Feng made had an intriguing name:

Snow Hidden Treasures.

"Snow Hidden Treasures, what kind of dish is this?"

"Never heard of it, it sounds quite intriguing!"

"Great, just in time for Boss Jiang’s big performance!"

"The less you’ve heard of it, the more likely it’s a famous dish!"

This time, everyone guessed it right. The dish "Snow Hidden Treasure" is indeed a lost famous dish, only recorded in ancient texts.

No one has managed to recreate it nowadays.

After all, the preparation is quite complicated, making eighteen kinds of dumplings alone is beyond the effort of ordinary people.

Fortunately, with the vast resources of Jiangyue Terrace, finding the eighteen ingredients wasn’t a big deal.

Outsiders are also paying attention to the dishes Jiang Feng is creating.

Although it hasn’t reached trending levels, there are quite a few related searches.

When netizens learned that the dish Jiang Feng made was called "Snow Hidden Treasure," no one understood the meaning.

"Boss Jiang is at it again."

"What kind of dish is this? Never heard of it!"

"I wonder what’s in it?"

"Waiting for a streamer to post a video!"

Everyone was commenting.

Inside the restaurant, driven by curiosity, guests instantly began to place orders.

Today, the dish was served quickly. As soon as the guests ordered, they saw a server carrying out a pot that resembled a hot pot.

The guests looked into the pot.

Everyone found it even more peculiar.

What on earth was this dish?

At that moment, the server carried out a large snowball.

The snowball’s surface was covered with a thick layer of frost, appearing white, obscuring any view of the inside.

This was the appearance of the famous "Snow Hidden Treasure."

Everyone was bewildered.

It was getting more and more strange.

First an empty pot, then a snowball.

Nobody knew what Jiang Feng was up to.

However, it still felt quite unique.

Guests took out their phones to start recording videos.

Such a scene, naturally, had to be captured on a phone.

Then, they saw the server place the snowball in the pot and light the fire underneath.

The server explained:

"Hello, this dish is called ’Snow Hidden Treasure.’

"Soon, things will float up, and whatever floats can be eaten."

"The soup is also a rich broth, with a very nice flavor."

Hearing the server’s explanation, everyone became even more excited.

Many people were holding their phones, filming the pot.

Soon, under the high temperature, the snow began to melt.

After the frost on the outside melted, there was a white ice inside, which then melted into a white broth.

This white broth was carefully made by Jiang Feng, using chicken bones, pork bones, crab meat, and so on, it was extremely rich, with a very fragrant taste.

The dumplings cooked in such a broth naturally had a good texture.

"It’s melted, and it’s white!"

"So this is the ’Snow Hidden Treasure’!"

The guests were amazed.

A white dumpling popped up from the pot, right in the center.

"It’s out, it’s out, there really is something!"

A guest exclaimed, immediately using a spoon to scoop it up and place it in his bowl.

He tasted the dumpling, finding the texture immensely soft, and inside there was an overwhelming taste, with a tender burst of flavor in the mouth.

An indescribable delicacy.

The juice flowing out of the dumpling was somewhat hot, but the taste was exceptional.

Just then, another dumpling floated up from the white broth.

"Another one, oh my, this is so interesting!"

The guest next to him was excited as well, scooping up a dumpling.

The true mystery of "Snow Hidden Treasure" lies in this.

When viewed in conjunction with the story, one can feel the surprise the Salt Merchant felt when tasting this dish for the first time.

In the depths of winter, the cooking snowball continually produced dumplings of various flavors.

Jiang Feng’s culinary skills were excellent, and the dumplings he made were meticulously cooked and handled very well.

The texture was very bouncy, the meat was very tender, and the taste was especially good.

Taking another spoonful of soup, eating it with the dumpling, felt truly comforting.

"This one is crab meat, very delicious!"

"Mine is chicken, and it tastes great too!"

"And this one seems to be mushroom."

"I’ve lost count of all the different flavors!"

Every table of guests was amazed.

This dish was indeed very creative.

Moreover, it only achieved this effect with preparation the day before.

After all, marinating the frozen dumplings for several hours gave the best texture; if frozen for too long, it would ruin the dumpling’s structure.

The dumplings were unexpectedly delicious.

Everyone was eating happily.

The delicacies Jiang Feng cooked on his last day left the guests dazzled.

Everyone laughed happily.

Immediately, everyone became curious about how this dish was conceived.

Jiang Feng always managed to be so unexpected.

Truly a mysterious person.
