Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall.

Chapter 142 The best tofu! Is this tofu rimmed with gold?
The first day Jiang Yuetai Shandong Restaurant opened was really lively.

There are all the customers waiting outside.

Nowadays, the catering industry market is getting bigger and bigger, and queues are the norm in many better restaurants every day.

The Shandong cuisine at Jiangyuetai Shandong Cuisine Restaurant is inexpensive and authentic, attracting a lot of customers.

Jiang Feng hopes to make this restaurant a city landmark.

For example, when talking about Kyoto city and eating Shandong cuisine, everyone will think of "Fengzeyuan".

There are no famous Shandong cuisine restaurants in the city where Jiang Feng is located.

Jiang Yuetai is promising.

The guests enjoyed their meal, and many food bloggers came after hearing the news.

Not only local ones, but also from other places.

The method is to make the tofu into a cylinder, fry it, cut off a lid, use a mold to scoop out the flesh from the middle of the tofu cylinder, add other ingredients inside, and then close the lid.

“Although there are many Shandong cuisine restaurants on the market, the taste is often not that authentic.”

This kind of first-grade tofu is not an authentic Shandong cuisine.

No wonder he can be a store tour host.

The small private room on the first floor has only one round table, which is a bit shabby. The private room fee is free for purchases over 300 yuan.

And the reputation of a store is not determined by one person.

This tofu dish is not simple and has hidden secrets.

The chefs behind the scenes are busy.

"It smells delicious when you eat it. The taste is very good. The sea cucumber is very soft and has a slightly waxy texture. The inside is also very delicious."

Who would have thought that before Yipin Tofu started making, many more orders for roasted sea cucumbers with green onions would come through.

Waiters also come and go.

“It’s really hard work but not enough power.”

“Highly recommended, everyone can come.”

"Let's just cook one dish tomorrow, maybe one for lunch and one for dinner."

At the same time, Jiang Feng finished several orders for roasted sea cucumbers with green onions and finally had time to make first-class tofu.

I have to say that his expression coupled with the explanation made people really hungry.

He also praised all the other dishes. Although they were not made by Jiang Feng himself, they tasted very authentic.

It is formed bit by bit.

“Boss Jiang’s store is really good.”

The authentic Shandong cuisine Yipin Tofu belongs to the Confucius cuisine among Shandong cuisine.

"Absolutely amazing!"

This step is to eliminate Internet celebrities who are trying to gain popularity.

The restaurant was bustling with excitement.

Liu Bao booked a small box early.

"It's soft and elastic when clamped. You can see that it can still shake."

After all, other guests may not be happy if it is live-streamed in a restaurant.

Yipin tofu is white, tender, rich in nutrients and very popular.

Just shooting video.

He set up his mobile phone and didn't start the broadcast. After all, he abided by the rules of not broadcasting live.

"Shandong cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines. Some even say it is the first of the eight major cuisines. It has extremely high requirements for chefs."

When people come to the store and are satisfied with their food, they will naturally recommend it to others.

Unknowingly, Jiang Feng's reputation has spread to other cities. However, the impact is not that big. People who do food tours may have heard of him.

Slowly a brand was formed.

According to the internal regulations of the restaurant, anchors are not allowed to live broadcast here, nor are they allowed to occupy the road to shoot videos. It is okay to shoot in a small box.

There are several types of first-grade tofu on the market.

Liu Bao said these things from his heart.

"This braised sea cucumber with green onions was cooked by Chef Jiang himself. Look at how bright the color is. Don't think it's easy. There's no oil around. It's because the juice is collected so well that it has such an effect."

"He is a chef himself, and he must have high requirements for chefs."

The simplest one is to cut the tofu into square slices, fry it until both sides are golden brown, then stir-fry it with onions, ginger and garlic, and finally add seasonings.

Needless to say, every dish he ate was a meal full of praise.

Jiang Feng thought secretly.

On the surface, it looks like tofu, but when you eat it, you will find that it has everything.

The ingredients Jiang Feng chooses include chopped pork belly, squid, shrimp, sea cucumber, and matsutake mushrooms, and then adds pepper, chicken stock, and homemade sauce.

After stir-frying over high heat, add it to the tofu and compact it with a lid.

This step is not finished yet, you still need to add abalone juice and steam it in the steamer for 20 minutes.

Not to mention that this dish is a palace dish, and the emperor loved it.

The ingredients used are not cheap.

All good stuff.

This is the authentic way to make the famous dish of Confucius, Yipin Tofu.

The main thing is to have a genuine one.

At this moment, in the lobby, a young couple was discussing.

"No, the original price of a dish of tofu is 78? It costs 39 with a % discount? Tofu is so expensive? Is this tofu rimmed with gold?"

the man exclaimed.

"After all, it was made by a chef, so it must be expensive." The woman comforted.

"This is obviously a rip-off! Ask someone for 78 a portion of tofu, is it expensive?"

"Then let's take advantage of the 5% off and eat this time."

"Okay, I can still accept the 5% off price, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to accept it."

"Well, give it a try, it might be particularly delicious!"

There are quite a few people who think like them.

The prices at Jiangyue Tai Shandong Restaurant are neither high nor low. Dishes with more expensive ingredients are priced at about 128, meat dishes are priced at 68 to 88, and vegetarian dishes are priced at 20-40.
It costs about 200 for two people.

But the first-grade tofu is priced at 78, which is very suspicious.

After a while, the dishes they ordered were served.

After the first order of tofu, the waiter specially explained:

"Hello, this is Yipin tofu, cooked by our owner Jiang Feng himself." "Yipin tofu is a famous dish of Confucius. It contains pork belly, squid, shrimp, sea cucumber, and matsutake. The outside soup is abalone juice."

"Please taste it."

After saying that, the waiter left with a smile.

The young couple was stunned for a moment.

what?
Sea cucumber? Matsutake? Abalone juice?
What does this have to do with tofu?
Yipin Tofu contains these.

The two looked at the tofu on the plate.

There was a cylindrical golden tofu in the round plate, covered with a layer of rich soup, and surrounded by some green vegetables.

There is also some chopped green onion sprinkled on top of the tofu.

The presentation looks good.

The man picked up his chopsticks and took off the lid of the tofu.

Suddenly, a hot smell came out of the tofu.

If you look closely, you can see that the inside is filled with a mixture of delicious ingredients.

You can also see traces of shrimp, squid, and matsutake mushrooms.

"Here, this is Yipin tofu! I thought it was just tofu!"

"This is too fancy!"

The man changed his unhappy attitude and became excited instead.

He looked at the lid he had lifted.

In the process of making Yipin tofu, it needs to be steamed for 20 minutes at the end.

During this process, the flavors of the ingredients stir-fried inside will rise.

Finally pile it into the tofu lid.

Therefore, although the surface of the tofu lid is made of tofu, the inside is already full of various fragrances.

The man saw that the color behind the lid was darker, so he immediately put the lid on his plate and ate it first.

As for my girlfriend, she has chopsticks and can use them herself.

The man took a bite of the tofu lid.

It feels very soft when you bite it, and the soup is squeezed out of the tofu with a slight bite.

The soup tastes very fresh and fragrant.

Combined with the texture of tofu.

This bite is simply not too satisfying!
Then, he directly picked up the tofu lid and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth.

I have never tasted tofu like this before, sea cucumber and pine mushroom tofu sounded amazing.

The woman picked up a large piece of stuffing with chopsticks.

This filling is also the essence.

There are chopped elastic sea cucumbers, fresh squid and shrimps, pork belly that stimulates the taste buds, and refreshing matsutake mushrooms.

When you eat it, you can feel the various levels of flavors blooming on the tip of your tongue.

Every bite is nutrition, every bite is enjoyment.

Shandong cuisine has health-preserving effects, and its cooking methods are sophisticated and varied.

That's why he was selected to become a palace dish.

The Shandong cuisine restaurant in Jiangyuetai is extremely authentic and allows ordinary people to feel the charm of Shandong cuisine.

“It’s really delicious! So fresh!”

"This is actually tofu!"

The woman's face was filled with wonder.

It’s so delicious that you’ll cry!
This dish undoubtedly amazed the diners.

Since it is a must-order dish, all customers who come to the store can taste the charm of first-grade tofu.

Jiang Feng is still busy in the kitchen.

He entered the state of "Why are there so many customers, I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all".

Fortunately, I have enough energy, so I’ll keep doing it.

The orders keep coming.

Seeing the order, Jiang Feng started making sea cucumbers roasted with green onions again.

It can only be completed bit by bit.

Executive chef Zhang Hu is also busy backstage.

Everyone is busy.

When he had some time, Jiang Feng asked him:
"Old Zhang, do you know of any good chefs who cook Shandong cuisine?"

"I feel like we don't have enough chefs, so I want to hire another one."

"Everything else is easy to say, but the chef can't be careless."

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Zhang Hu thought for a moment,

"Boss, let me think about it. I know a few of them. Let me see if there are any suitable ones."

After speaking, he said again:

"Business is so good, we really need to increase our manpower."

At this time, Jiang Feng was busy on the stove again and didn't say anything more.

Zhang Hu looked at Jiang Feng's appearance and secretly admired it.

This is the first time I have seen such a boss.

He is the busiest in the kitchen.

And he also has the most orders.

At a young age, he owns a restaurant and is its signature chef.

Who would believe this?

If Zhang Hu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Bring me some more sea cucumbers."

At this time, Jiang Feng shouted to a young man.

"Okay, boss, come right away."

The young man was also diligent and immediately ran out to get the sea cucumbers.

There is nothing you can do if you are not diligent, this is a serious boss.

No one in the entire kitchen would dare to disobey him.
