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

Chapter 253 If others can’t, your chapter will be fine!

Suburban reservoir.

It was contracted by a fisherman and became a specialized aquaculture farm.

The scenery of this place is very good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by green hills, and a few rural households can be vaguely seen.

In the middle is a large reservoir, and the water looks relatively clear.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is indeed a good place.

The contracted reservoir looks great, after all, the place where we work is beautiful.

Of course, only those who actually engage in this industry will know how hard it is.

Such as mosquitoes, weather disasters, etc. You also need to buy fish fry, feed them, prevent fish from getting sick, etc.

Some people use the reservoir to do fishing business, but most of them lose money.

There are also people who combine fish farming with duck farming, focusing on duck farming and secondary fish farming, but the harvest is not high.

Nothing that makes money is easy.

Jiang Feng stopped the car, Dangmao and Xiaohei stayed in the car, and got out of the car.

He looked around and saw a house next to the reservoir, so he walked directly towards the house.

Li Duoyu, the owner of the contracted reservoir, is born in the 90s. His skin is a bit dark and he looks like he has gone through a lot of hardships for his age, but he is still quite sunny.

"Who are you looking for?"

Li Duoyu asked when he saw Jiang Feng walking in.

"Hello, I am a fish business owner. I want to buy some grass carp from our reservoir. I would like to ask if there are any ready-made large grass carp."

Jiang Feng asked politely.

"Grass carp? Who raises grass carp in such a big reservoir? How much money can grass carp earn?"

Li Duoyu responded.

As he spoke, he stared at Jiang Feng intently.

He felt that Jiang Feng looked familiar.

After watching it for a while, I finally remembered it.

"Hold the grass! Boss Jiang!"

"It's really you!"

"I don't even dare to admit it!"

After hearing his words, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"Hello, I want to fish next, so I need to buy some grass carp raised in the reservoir."

"Do you know where the aquatic products are? Where's the best grass carp?"

Hearing this, Li Duoyu immediately said:

"Then do you need to find someone else? I have it at home!"

"Although there are not many grass carp, I also raise some."

"It's no problem to give a few hundred."

Jiang Feng was a little stunned.

Didn’t you just say there wasn’t any?

In fact, it was because Li Duoyu felt that Jiang Feng was not a big purchaser.

He never sells in bulk to small merchants.

It’s not worth the trouble.

Generally, when they sell fish, they go directly to large suppliers and sell a large portion at a time.

But Jiang Feng was an exception.

On the one hand, Li Duoyu likes Jiang Feng's videos very much and can be considered a fan of Jiang Feng.

On the other hand, Li Duoyu had eaten Jiang Feng's roast duck once and was full of praise for Jiang Feng's cooking skills.

Since we know each other, we will definitely treat him specially.

That’s why it matters when you’re away from home.

Sometimes even if the relationship is not close, as long as we know each other, things can be done.

"Can I buy it? That's good. I really need to buy some better grass carp."

"Furthermore, this can be considered as a first step. If the restaurant opens in the future, we will need to purchase grass carp in large quantities."

Jiang Feng said again.

His restaurant is located on the edge of the West Lake.

Since it is not far from the West Lake, there must be many tourists.

Then West Lake Vinegar Fish must be a must-order dish for tourists.

Jiang Feng had to try his best to make it delicious, but he couldn't let this dish affect the restaurant's reputation.

Therefore, the quality of grass carp is also critical.

"Purchasing in bulk would be better. I know some people in aquaculture, and there are relatively few people who specialize in grass carp, but if the price is right, they can be specially supplied."

When Li Duoyu heard that it was a big deal, he immediately said.

Only then did he remember that Jiang Feng was not only the owner of a small stall, but also the owner of a large restaurant.

And I heard that a restaurant has been contracted in West Lake and I will definitely purchase it.

"Okay, let me take a look first. The purchase of the restaurant cannot be confirmed just like that."

“But now I need to buy some grass carp.”

Jiang Feng said again.

"Okay, how much do you want and when do you want it? I'll find someone to fish it out."

"That's it for today. I've prepared the water tank. Let's catch a hundred fish first."

"No problem, it's a small matter."

The two discussed.

The grass carp here is definitely more expensive than the grass carp on the market. After all, it is farmed in a reservoir, and the quality of the grass carp is better.

Jiang Feng also knew this, so he paid according to the market price.

As a matter of fact, if you just buy a hundred pieces, the owner of the reservoir may not entertain you.

After all, it's not worth it for such a small business to have to go on a boat to salvage.

But Jiang Feng was an exception.

Li Duoyu is still willing to do Jiang Feng's business.

There's nothing going on here anyway.

It's good to help catch fish.

Then, Li Duoyu began to contact employees to prepare for fishing.

Jiang Feng also called Sun Zhuangfei and asked him to rent a fish truck and come over.

Everyone started to get busy.

The environment where the reservoir is located is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very beautiful.

There are some residents around, the scenery is beautiful, and it feels like a Jiangnan water town.

Jiang Feng boarded the salvage boat, drove in the reservoir, and fished for fish with the reservoir employees.

The process of catching fish went smoothly.

The reservoir is divided into several areas, and there is an area dedicated to grass carp.

So I picked it up with a net.

Then Jiang Feng picked a hundred live fish and paid Li Duoyu. When returning from the lake, Jiang Feng saw a fishing spot next to the house with fishing rods placed there.

This is a privately contracted reservoir surrounded by railings and fishing is prohibited.

But the contractor can naturally fish, after all, it is his own reservoir.

"Boss Jiang, do you also like fishing?"

Li Duoyu followed Jiang Feng's gaze and asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I fish occasionally."

Jiang Feng responded.

"Do you have anything going on this afternoon? Just fish at my place."

"The fish I caught is just right for cooking."

Li Duoyu invited.

"This isn't appropriate." Jiang Feng waved his hand.

"What's inappropriate? This is my reservoir. What's wrong with fishing at my house?"

"I have to go back to deal with the grass carp. I'll talk about it when I have time."

"That's fine."

Afterwards, Li Duoyu and Jiang Feng took a photo together and left a lasting memory.

Then, Jiang Feng drove into the car and left the reservoir.

The process of buying fish was unexpectedly smooth.

I thought I would have to visit several reservoirs to buy suitable grass carp.

Unexpectedly, I bought it from the first one.

Fame can sometimes bring him convenience.

After buying the grass carp, the next step is to prepare the West Lake vinegar fish.

It is required to entertain fifty diners every day. Although the number of guests is not large, the difficulty is no less than selling snacks.

So how to set up a stall, you have to be well prepared.

Jiang Feng was thinking in his heart.

He has always had his own ideas and understanding of cooking, and can always satisfy his guests with delicious food.

This is also the basic skill of a chef.

On the second day, Jiang Feng drove the dining car and took dozens of grass carp all the way to the edge of the West Lake.

Stalls are not allowed in the West Lake Scenic Area, and it has been reported that stall fees are as high as more than 10 million yuan a year. This stall can sell a bottle of mineral water for yuan, and the cost can be recovered in a year.

However, stalls are allowed in the area around West Lake.

Many people have posted videos of themselves setting up stalls in West Lake, mainly selling balloons, toys, hair flowers, etc.

The daily income is about one to two hundred yuan.

Jiang Feng did not choose to find a place on the roadside. Instead, he spent money to rent a stall in the food court next to the West Lake.

The location of the stall is quite conspicuous.

The sign on the food truck reads the title:

West Lake Vinegar Fish: 48 per serving.

One set meal is half a West Lake vinegar fish.

Compared with the price in a restaurant, this price is considered affordable. After all, his grass carp are all big fish. If it were in a restaurant, half a big fish would cost about 100.

After all, the grass carp he uses are high-quality grass carp, and the price alone is more expensive than other grass carp.

I have to say that his stall is really outrageous among the snack streets.

If you don’t go to a big restaurant to eat West Lake Vinegar Fish, who will eat it at a small stall?

But Jiang Feng didn't think it was outrageous. He had sold steaks before, so selling West Lake vinegar fish was nothing.

Sure enough, some tourists recognized him before his food cart reached the designated location.

"Look over there, it's Boss Jiang's dining car!"

"It's really him, he's coming to West Lake!"

"Let's go take a look and see what is being sold this time?"

"I'll go, West Lake vinegar fish? The stakes are high!"

Jiang Feng didn't have to worry about business at all.

After all, the popularity is still there.

Even if they have never tasted his delicious food, many people have watched his videos and know him to some extent.

Seeing him setting up a stall here, many people immediately gathered around him.

"Boss Jiang, do you want to set up a stall here?"

"I have an idea this time. Come to the edge of the West Lake to challenge the West Lake Vinegar Fish!"

"It has to be you!"

Several people greeted him.

Jiang Feng replied politely:

“I studied how to make West Lake vinegar fish.”

"Let's try this time."

“It’s best if everyone can be satisfied with their food.”

"After all, it is a famous dish and cannot be left to dust."

While talking, he and Sun Zhuangfei were preparing to open a stall.

The stall was set up, and then the tables and chairs were set out, and the disposable plates were taken out. Then Sun Zhuangfei was busy handling the grass carp, while Jiang Feng was preparing to start cooking.

Before coming here, Jiang Feng had already processed part of the grass carp. They were all killed in the morning, and the smell was removed several times.

Jiang Feng set up a pot on one of the stoves, put onions, ginger, garlic, and rice wine into it, simmered it at low temperature, and seasoned the fish.

On the other side, he set up another pot and began to mix the sauce and thicken the sauce.

When the time comes, put the fish on the plate, pour the prepared sauce over it, and the dish is ready.

“Boss, bring me a piece of West Lake Vinegar Fish!”

"I want one too!"

"I want too!"

Some diners have already started ordering.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"It'll have to wait a while, I'm just getting started now."

"It won't be long before the stalls start selling."

"This stall is mainly selling West Lake vinegar fish."

“Other Zhejiang cuisine dishes will be launched in the future.”

"Thanks for the support!"
