Chapter 345: Chapter 345
The video of the dish Jiang Feng made quickly appeared online.
"Hidden Delicacy in Snow, a brand new version I’ve never heard of before."
"The dishes Boss Jiang makes are always so unexpected!"
"What exactly is it?"
Netizens were very surprised. They clicked on the video to see the real appearance of the dish.
Initially, it was just a ball of snow being boiled in a pot. As the snow melted into a white broth, one by one, meatballs floated to the surface.
Moreover, as soon as one was scooped out, another would float up immediately.
It looked just like magic.
The scene was quite magical to watch.
Everyone suddenly understood.
"Seriously, can boiling meatballs be played with ?"
"No wonder they call him a master chef!"
"This soup looks very rich!"
"I heard there are a total of eighteen meatballs, each with a different flavor, all exceptionally delicious."
"Another dish I’ve never tasted, it’s a pity we can only look!"
People chatted about it during their tea and meal breaks.
Every time Jiang Feng came up with a new dish, many of his peers also paid attention.
"Jiang Feng released a new product again?"
"Hidden Delicacy in Snow, never heard of it, which cuisine is it from?"
"It’s not from any of the eight major cuisines, is it self-created?"
"It seems there’s a record of this dish in ancient literature."
Just as people were discussing it, Jiangyue Terrace’s video account updated with the details of the Hidden Delicacy in Snow.
Jiang Feng also explained the origin of the dish to everyone.
Everyone then realized that this dish originated from a salt merchant who was robbed in the coldest winter months and found a home to get food. The farmer cooked him a piece of snow, revealing one meatball after another, and that’s how it was recorded and passed down.
Because the method is complex and there are many details on how to make the meatballs float one after another, this dish had completely disappeared.
No one would attempt to recreate a dish from records in ancient literature.
But Jiang Feng succeeded.
After learning the story, people’s enthusiasm grew even higher.
Jiang Feng could be said to have brought culinary culture back into the public eye once again.
By the afternoon, all the prepared meatballs were sold out.
There was no choice, the Hidden Delicacy in Snow had to be prepared in advance and couldn’t be made on the spot, so to the new customers, he could only apologize.
Of course, to avoid disappointing the customers, Jiang Feng was still in the kitchen, just offering them a different dish.
Customers could still enjoy dishes made by Jiang Feng.
It wasn’t until the evening came that the day’s business ended.
[Task completed, reward received: Richard Mille Watch.]
Jiang Feng successfully completed his task.
The hustle and bustle of the Hunan Cuisine Restaurant finally waned a bit.
"It’s over, another restaurant."
"Now I’m really out of money."
Jiang Feng sighed with a smile.
Buying the restaurant had cost a lot, and most of his cash was tied up in it.
There’s no choice; a restaurant costs millions, not even considering the renovations and initial investments.
Luckily, the revenue was good, and it could continuously generate income.
Looking at it this way, after some time, Jiang Feng could start planning to open another shop.
Hunan Cuisine is quite interesting.
At the moment, the development of Hunan Cuisine in the national dining market is very good, with numerous large Hunan Cuisine brands seen everywhere in almost every large mall.
However, most mall dishes are pre-prepared and lack some taste.
After having some free time, Jiang Feng returned to Eastern Shandong to relax.
In the villa, he went to his luxury kitchen, opened the fridge, and started preparing tonight’s dinner.
On a whim, he prepared something simple to eat.
Coincidentally, there was still some jam left over from previous Western cuisine experiments.
Jiang Feng prepared two slices of French toast, spread a layer of cream and jam, then prepared to fry an egg, and grill some bacon and sausages.
He also prepared a large cup of fresh hot milk.
These things were simple to make and easy to clean up.
The toast was crispy on the outside and as soft as bread on the inside; when chewed, the taste of cream and jam mixed together could be felt.
The fried egg was perfectly done, he still preferred the yolk to be solidified.
In Western cuisine, the fried egg usually has a semi-cooked yolk, not fully solidified, which Jiang Feng didn’t quite like.
The grilled sausage and bacon were cooked to perfection, slightly charred on the skin, emitting a constant aroma.
The feeling of eating grilled sausage was also incredibly satisfying.
Little Black watched nearby.
When Jiang Feng went out to work, he always left Little Black and the black cat at the ranch.
There were many animals there, and the environment was good.
They could make many friends and have fun.
The system indicated that a new task would be released in two days.
Jiang Feng was also looking forward to what the task would be.
He wanted to make Fujian Cuisine and hoped the task would be related to that. Googlᴇ search noⅴelfire.net
At the same time, the director of the Chinese Restaurant called again, wanting to schedule him for the second half of the year.
Hearing this news, Jiang Feng was a bit surprised.
"The second half of the year? It’s starting so soon?"
"I have to see the situation, I don’t have plans for that just yet."
Jiang Feng responded.
"Mr. Jiang, please think it over again, we’d really like you to join, we can renegotiate the pay."
"The show promotes positivity and needs a head chef, you are the most suitable candidate."
The director said sincerely.
In the entertainment industry, everyone is called ’teacher,’ especially by the crew and program staff, they love this term. Jiang Feng always found it awkward, but correcting them feels even more awkward.
"Alright, I’ll think about it, but I want to know who the guests are in advance."
The show is still decent, but it depends on who you’re going with.
If it’s with some difficult people, Jiang Feng would rather skip.
"Alright, once we’ve confirmed the guests, I’ll contact you."
The two sides agreed.
Life is always leisurely.
And there are more activities seeking him out now.
Jiang Feng also occasionally participates in some events.
In the following period, Jiang Feng visited different Jiangyue Terrace locations, checked the accounts, treated the employees to several meals, and handed out extra bonuses.
A video of him providing employee benefits was uploaded online, and suddenly a lot of people wanted to apply to Jiangyue Terrace.
It’s really hard to find a considerate boss these days.
That day, the system issued a new task.
[Activate city task (1/2): Set up a stand to sell Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in a designated area of Fuzhou, serving 100 diners daily.]
[Task reward: A restaurant.]
Jiang Feng was looking forward to a new task from the system.
But upon hearing what the task was, Jiang Feng was speechless.
Setting up a stand to sell Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?
Is this something you can sell from a stand?
Many restaurants don’t even have an authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and now he’s supposed to sell it from a stand.
It’s just outrageous.
But Jiang Feng had no choice.
System tasks are always so unique.
Now it seems the only option is to go viral.
But for the sake of the restaurant, he decided to accept the task.
Anyway, it’s only a hundred portions a day, if sold quickly, it’ll be gone in no time.
Then Jiang Feng called Sun Zhuangfei.
Setting up a stand, Sun Zhuangfei is already used to being the assistant.
This young man is diligent and hardworking, and ambitious, a promising talent.
Now Sun Zhuangfei serves as head chef in a Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant; his cooking has greatly improved, and the flavors are excellent.
Sometimes, he even makes other dishes, and they’re also popular.
Following Jiang Feng, he has gained some fame.
Sun Zhuangfei immediately agreed when he heard Jiang Feng was setting up a stand.
Free travel, following the boss around, and getting to taste delicious food and learn new skills, it’s just perfect.
"Boss, what are we selling this time?"
Sun Zhuangfei was curious, eager to ask.
"Selling Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
Jiang Feng replied truthfully.
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
Sun Zhuangfei was also taken aback by this.
Looking across the country’s small stands, no one has ever sold this.
And given Jiang Feng’s status, it’s certain that what he makes will be the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
It’s far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
"Alright, boss, no problem."
"I’ve only seen this dish on TV, never in real life!"
Sun Zhuangfei smiled happily.
Seeing it means you get to taste it.
Just thinking about it makes him happy.
So, with everything arranged, Jiang Feng flew straight to Fuzhou.
The first thing was naturally to rent a shop, find a place to settle, and then have his food truck transported over.
This kept him quite busy.
It had been a while since he’d set up a stand, and Jiang Feng felt a bit nostalgic.
But thinking about the crowd of vendors, he had some concerns again.
"Only 100 portions of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall per day, it’s too little."
"I need to think about how to sell them more conveniently."
"Plus, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall isn’t cheap, even at cost, it’s at least a few hundred each."
"I still need to figure out how not to lose money."
Selling something so expensive from a stand, he was unsure.
After all, it’s difficult for most people to spend hundreds on a single dish.
However, he underestimated people’s spending power.
If he really made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, demand would exceed supply.
No matter what, with the location settled, the next step was buying ingredients.
As a household name, crafting Buddha Jumps Over the Wall isn’t easy.
Now it’s truly time to showcase his skills.
