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

The shop has a new sign, the most conspicuous of which are two huge words:
effort!

Kungfu jelly pot!
Jiang Feng likes these two characters very much. They can be found in many small shops in Guangzhou.

Represents characteristics.

Sun Zhuangfei was wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat, covering his conspicuous head, and a mask. For a moment, he couldn't be recognized.

He was in the back kitchen, patiently marinating chicken according to Jiang Feng's request.

The method of making Gejie stew is also simple, that is, marinate the ingredients, stir-fry until cooked, add the Gejie sauce and stew in a casserole.

The soul of Gejie pot is Gejie sauce.

The thick sauce fully soaks the ingredients, and then the water in the sauce is evaporated during the high-temperature simmering process.

Jiang Feng heats up the oil in a pot, stir-fries minced ginger, minced garlic, and dried onions, then adds sand tea sauce, seafood sauce, pork ribs sauce, fragrant meat sauce, southern fermented bean curd, etc. according to special proportions.

Then pour in the secret spice water, and it becomes a pot of extremely rich and viscous mysterious sauce.

This is his skill!
Jiang Feng’s Kung Fu Jie Jie Pot comes in three flavors.

Gejie chicken pot, Gejie beef pot, and Gejie three crisps including shrimp, squid, and Anhui fish.

The method is not difficult. With Jiang Feng's level, it is very simple to make several jelly pots.

Near noon, the shop opened.

Soon, the store welcomed its first customer.

This middle-aged man was wearing a baggy dark half-sleeved shirt, a pair of shorts, and flip-flops, giving him a relaxed and leisurely look.

He didn't come to the front desk to order, but directly found a seat to sit down. He seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Feng. He had an old face and said calmly in Cantonese:
"Boss, isn't today's chicken pretty?"

Jiang Feng was a little stunned.

Is the chicken pretty?

Shouldn't it be a handsome boy or a pretty girl?

Can a chicken be beautiful?

However, Jiang Feng understood what the guest meant and replied:

"It's fresh, freshly killed chicken in the morning."

"immigrant?"

The guest could tell at a glance that Jiang Feng was not a local.

"Yes, I came here from out of town to do some small business."

Jiang Feng replied cheerfully.

"Outsiders come to Guangzhou to sell Kung Fu and Jie Jie Bao?"

The guest was completely familiar with himself and asked again.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Jiang Feng replied.

"No problem, let's have a pot of herbal tea, a chicken pot, some appetizing peanuts, and a pineapple bun."

The guest waved and shouted.

Jiang Feng paused.

No, this person doesn’t even look at the menu when ordering?

Where can I find pineapple buns?
Some locals are like this. They are used to this situation and order casually.

However, Jiang Feng's shop is a small one and he didn't prepare so much.

Jiang Feng could only say:

"Sorry, there are no peanuts or pineapple buns, only chicken pot and Wanglaoji."

The guest was obviously a little stunned.

Wong Lo Kat?

Drink Wanglaoji?

However, he also understood that Jiang Feng's shop was not a mature shop like those opened by locals, and it didn't have that many items.

This kind of store is relatively formal, no different from small stores in other places.

The guest wanted to leave, but he was a little hungry, so he said:
"Okay, let's have a chicken pot."

"alright, please wait."

When the customers place their orders, Jiang Feng starts to get busy.

The chicken has already been marinated.

Jiang Feng placed a clean casserole on the stove, poured in oil and sesame oil, then added onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fried.

In an instant, there was a sizzling sound of oil coming out of the casserole.

The flavor of the spices comes out instantly.

Then, put the marinated chicken pieces in, stir-fry until half cooked, then add coriander, green onions, green vegetables, and cover the casserole.

Turn on the high heat, and the entire casserole is bathed in the fire, as if it is burning.

It only takes a few minutes for the chicken to be completely stir-fried.

Finally, add the secret jelly sauce, stir-fry it thoroughly, and then serve it to the guests.

Sun Zhuangfei took the casserole, put it on the table for the guests, and opened the lid at the same time.

Looking carefully, the chicken in the casserole is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, glowing with crystal oil. There are green coriander and green vegetables scattered around as decoration, and there are many traces of seasoning.

The chicken was completely covered in the thick sauce and looked sweet and delicious.

The smell of fresh chicken hits your face, and the smell makes you feel relaxed and happy.

The guest looked at the chicken in the casserole with slight surprise.

Needless to say, even though it was made by an outsider, it still tastes delicious.

There's nothing authentic about Ge Ge pot, it's just the way it is made, with all kinds of ingredients.

For example, salted egg yolk nine-knot shrimp, perilla bullfrog, beef, and pig intestines.

The criterion for judgment is whether it tastes good or not.

Delicious and authentic!

The middle-aged man took out a pair of chopsticks from the sterilizer, picked up a piece of chicken, put it on the plate, lit it up slightly, and then tasted it gently.

As an authentic Guangzhou native, he has eaten countless jelly pots.

The moment the chicken entered his mouth, the first thing he felt was the taste of Jiang Feng's secret sauce.

The chicken was completely wrapped in the thick and rich sauce, and the aroma of the high-temperature sauce instantly stimulated his taste buds.

This is Jiang Feng's unique recipe. As long as your tongue comes into contact with the sauce, your saliva will be secreted unconsciously because of the wonderful taste. The fragrant feeling makes the tongue become a little soft.

The chicken is even more tender.

The skin is fried and slightly crispy, but not too deep.

The meat inside is extremely tender and soft. With a slight bite, the chicken breaks apart along the texture, revealing the smooth and tender part.

The aroma has been completely stir-fried into the chicken.

This one-pot Kung Fu Chicken Stew has a perfect taste.

The middle-aged guest was amazed by this pot of chicken.

It tastes quite good!

It has a very delicious and clean feeling.

He had eaten delicious jelly pot before.

It tastes delicious when you eat it, but it still feels a bit heavy.

The jelly pot made by Jiang Feng has just the right taste.

The real taste lies in the secret sauce, which is carefully prepared. No matter what kind of jelly pot Jiang Feng makes, the taste will not be bad.

“Quite authentic!”

The middle-aged man exclaimed.

It does taste good.

As soon as he ate, he couldn't stop at all. He ate the chicken in the casserole piece by piece, and there was a little sweat on his head while eating.

The summer in Guangzhou is quite hot.

Jiang Feng discussed with Sun Zhuangfei there:

"I'm going to buy some tea today and pour it for the guests when the time comes."

"I'll buy several kinds."

"When the time comes, you can also ask the guests, what kind of tea should they drink?"

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Sun Zhuangfei remembered the scene where they had morning tea, and immediately said excitedly:

"Boss, can I ask in Cantonese?"

"Just 'drink tea'?"

Jiang Feng sighed, "Just do whatever you want, just don't scare the guests away."

In Guangdong dialect, "咩" is a very magical word. If translated, it means "what", but it is slightly different.

Sometimes two Guangdong people are having a conversation and one of them doesn’t hear clearly and asks, “What?”

The other person didn’t know what he was asking, so he would ask back, “What?”

Even when girls are angry or acting coquettishly, they say "Yeah" in different tones.

The same is true when two boys are quarreling. You say "Yeah" and I say "Yeah", similar to the Northeastern people's "What are you looking at" and "What are you looking at?"

Otherwise Guangzhou would also be called Yangcheng.

Anyway, it’s always right to use “咩” in your words.

Jiang Feng plans to do as the Romans do, so tea must be prepared.

In addition to tea made with hot water, you should also get more herbal tea drinks. People here also like to drink them, and they even drink them since childhood.

The food culture here is quite unique.

But preparing the food is not enough, it also has to be served with appetizers and tea.

Otherwise, they can live!
After finishing the chicken, the customer was satisfied and said, "Boss, your cooking is good."

He praised Jiang Feng, his attitude was very kind this time.

Then, he looked at the menu again and saw that in addition to three kinds of gelatin pot, they were ginger milk and Tingzi porridge.

Somewhat simple.

It's just a small shop, so I understand. After all, it's not a serious restaurant, so there aren't that many varieties.

Small business.

But it tastes really good.

Could it be that it’s a secret recipe from other places?
The middle-aged man stood up and wandered away.

Sun Zhuangfei began to clean up.

After a while, several more guests came in.

The jelly pot is quite popular.

But again, competition is fierce.

The customers who came this time saw that the shop was a little shabby and the owner was not a local, so they turned around and left.

Jiang Feng didn't think it was a big deal. When it comes to opening a store, it's up to the customers to decide.

However, as many people stayed, the number of customers in the store gradually increased.

And as Jiang Feng started to make more gelatin pots, the fragrance spread out from the shop.

Many people actually came in just because of the smell!
Although the store seemed a little rough on the first day, it was fortunate that the store was located in a living area, and many people came out to eat every day.

Many people just want to simply eat jelly in a pot.

The gelatin pots in this small shop are not expensive and are just right for lunch.

"His jelly pot is delicious!"

Some guests expressed their enjoyment and admiration.

"It's good, very good!"

Someone else responded.

"I remember coming to this restaurant before and it tasted very average. Why did it suddenly become so delicious!"

"That chef is very good!"

While people were praising, they looked at Jiang Feng who was busy in the kitchen.

Because it is a small shop and relatively ventilated, you can clearly see how the kitchen is cooking.

Jiang Feng was busy processing the ingredients in the casserole in front of the stove.

He was wearing a mask, so others couldn't really tell what he looked like. They just thought he was tall and had a good temperament, so he must be handsome.

The people in Ludong are really tall, that’s not to say. (End of chapter)
