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

The most challenging store opening was in Kyoto.

A new Jiang Yuetai is located in Kyoto. Its location and decoration are impeccable.

Some people say that Kyoto is a food desert, while others say that Kyoto’s only famous delicacies are roast duck and copper pot shabu-shabu.

actually not.

There are many good restaurants in Kyoto, but the downside is that they are expensive.

After all, as one of the top first-tier cities in the country, there are countless wealthy people, and a large number of people have no shortage of money for food.

What matters is style and taste.

Jiang Yuetai sat down in Kyoto, and Jiang Feng was thinking about other things.

This time, Jiangyuetai has a total of three floors. The first floor is the largest and is full of scattered tables, but they are separated by fences. The decoration is antique and the environment is very beautiful.

The second and third floors are all private rooms, which are extremely luxuriously decorated.

If you want to do business well, you have to have some gimmicks.

It just so happened that Jiang Feng received an invitation from CCTV to shoot a food documentary.

Jiang Feng immediately decided to make a complete documentary of the Manchu-Han Banquet.

The Manchu Han Banquet has a total of 108 dishes. Some people say that so far, there are no more than three restaurants that can prepare the complete version of the Manchu Han Banquet.

There is no way. The dishes involve complex craftsmanship and techniques, and it is difficult for a restaurant to do all of them.

Jiang Feng only needs to choose a few of these dishes to participate in a foreign cooking master competition and he can win the championship.

You can imagine how exquisite these dishes are.

There is no need for a full banquet at state banquets because it is too troublesome.

Jiang Feng decided to restore the Manchu-Han Banquet.

This will help to make Jiang Yuetai famous in Kyoto.

Jiang Feng handed over his arrangements to executive chef Wang Weiye.

After hearing this, Wang Weiye sighed:

"Boss, this isn't that easy."

"The chef, the plate setter, the waiter, the side dishes, the carving worker, there are more than 30 people in total."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to coordinate it all by yourself."

Jiang Feng responded calmly: "It doesn't matter, notify them according to my requirements, and I will arrange the specific steps."

"It seems that no one has made a full banquet for many years."

“I plan to restore it.”

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Wang Weiye nodded in agreement:

"Yes, in recent years, I have never heard of any restaurant that can prepare a full banquet."

"This table of dishes is too complicated. I don't know where to start with many of them."

"Even if someone does make it, many of the dishes are just fillers and are not authentic Manchu-Han banquets at all."

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Feng plans to restore this table of dishes.

He is the head chef and the one in charge, and everyone else is just helping him.

Jiang Feng began to sort out the cooking methods of each dish in his mind.

The real difficulty of preparing a Manchu-Han banquet is to prepare all 108 dishes in no more than two hours.

That is to say, some dishes need to be prepared in advance, and some dishes need to be cooked at the end.

This requires the chef to have a good understanding of each dish.

Then we need to draw up a timetable so that the end points of the 108 timelines converge.

This is the hardest part.

Of course, there is another point, that is, several dishes are protected animals and cannot be made, such as steamed bear paws, so we can only use some substitutes.

Jiang Feng was also very capable. He directly called the executive chef and the best chef of every Jiang Yuetai restaurant.

Top chefs from eight major cuisines gathered at Kyoto Jiangyuetai.

Apart from official institutions, only Jiang Feng, a private citizen, could do this.

The news spread quickly.

There are so many employees in Jiang Yuetai, and during casual conversations with people, the news that the executive chefs of Jiang Yuetai's eight major cuisines gathered in Kyoto spread on the Internet.

The main reason is that the wind flow in the river is too large.

As the most famous chef in the country, at a young age, he owns restaurants specializing in eight cuisines. Each restaurant has a profound heritage and is doing a booming business. Jiang Feng himself has also cooked a variety of delicious foods.

In the chef industry, there are only two words to describe him:

legend
He is truly a legend in the restaurant industry.

With his miraculous skills and almost universal cooking techniques, Jiang Feng's fame has grown little by little until he is now a household name.

Many people are speculating about these things online.

"Boss Jiang called all the chefs of the eight major cuisines over. What does he want to do?"

"Those chefs are all top chefs in the area, and they all have very high status."

"Indeed, many people go to Jiangyuetai to eat just for the reputation of these top chefs."

"It feels like something big is going to happen!"

There is a lot of speculation online.

After Jiang Feng gathered the chefs together, he began to mobilize them.

"The Manchu-Han Banquet has never been fully restored in recent years because it involves a wide variety of cuisines and cooking methods. Without a vast foundation, many people are helpless."

"But others can't, but Jiang Yuetai can."

"We have gathered top chefs from all over the world here, so it's not difficult to prepare a full-course Chinese banquet."

"CCTV will send reporters to shoot a documentary on the re-enactment of the Manchu-Han Banquet."

"That is to say, this incident will leave a mark in the catering industry."

"It just so happens that Kyoto Jiangyuetai is about to open."

"Before the opening, let's do something big together and make a complete Manchu-Han banquet, and let our peers see the strength of Jiang Yuetai."

In the conference room, Jiang Feng gave a speech.

The chefs below were so excited and passionate listening to this.

This is a big deal.

Today is the Internet age. If someone had restored the complete Manchu-Han Banquet, it would have become popular on the Internet long ago.

But it has never happened because people simply can't do it.

Even if you are a top chef, it is impossible for him to prepare a full banquet relying on his background and power.

If we can gather everyone together under Jiang Feng's leadership, then it will be possible.

As long as it can be completed, Jiang Yuetai's reputation will surely rise to a higher level.

Go beyond ordinary catering brands and become a truly high-end brand.

Naturally, everyone is willing to do this kind of thing.

Soon, the news spread.

There are many people who eat in Kyoto. Some of them have received dividends and are financially free, and they spend the whole day studying eating, drinking and having fun.

They all have very picky mouths.

"I heard that the newly opened Jiang Yue Tai restaurant serves authentic Manchu-Han banquet. How do I get there?" "It seems that it is not open to the public."

"Not open to the public?"

"CCTV should be internally digesting the documentary. Every dish will be filmed to let people see the elegance of the Manchu-Han Banquet."

"The boss of Jiang Yue Tai is really generous. If it can really be done, all the top wealthy people in Kyoto will probably go to Jiang Yue Tai to eat in the future."

"Yes, those people spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands on a meal. They are all big customers."

People were discussing related topics.

Jiang Feng's original intention was to promote Kyoto Jiang Yuetai.

As for how many and what kind of guests he could attract, he didn't think much about it.

Jiang Feng started preparing for this matter very early, and some dishes were even prepared three months in advance.

This table of dishes was the most grand and highest-standard one in Jiang Feng’s career.

The Manchu-Han Banquet also has a popular name, called:
Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose...
There are a total of 108 dishes.

With a recipe, it’s easy to make.

Jiang Feng began to arrange the ingredients, manpower, and relevant responsible persons.

The theme of this Manchu-Han Banquet is "Flowers Bloom and Prosperity Comes".

The first dish was an extremely exquisite carved radish.

Just like a potted plant, a branch grows out of the plate, covered with blooming flowers, which is of very high style.

Reporters from CCTV also came, four of them.

Four cameras shot simultaneously.

What is treatment? This is treatment.

Kyoto takes Jiang Feng’s affairs very seriously.

It can be seen that Jiang Feng's influence
After everything was ready, the cooking of the Manchu-Han banquet officially began the next morning.

Jiang Feng stood at the main seat, and the other chefs stood at their own posts.

A large group of chefs in white chef uniforms gathered together, exuding a strong aura.

The photographer was there and was also shocked by the scene.

Jiang Feng seemed to be a master of his generation.

At this moment, he was the focus of the whole audience.

It was also through his hard work, bit by bit, that he built up a catering brand with such a profound heritage: Jiang Yuetai.

If an ordinary person wanted to achieve such an achievement, it would take at least decades or even hundreds of years, but Jiang Feng did it in just a few years.

Although there is help from the system, it is also due to his personal ability and charm.

"Everyone, let's start cooking the Manchu-Han banquet!"

Jiang Feng shouted loudly.

In an instant, all the chefs started to get busy.

The busiest person among them is naturally Jiang Feng. He prepares most of the dishes, but there are many chefs to help him and assist him.

Everyone cooked one dish at a time strictly according to the time nodes set by Jiang Feng.

The camera was also very busy and didn't know where to record.

After all, everyone is busy.

It is like a high-speed machine, with each component working in an orderly manner. It seems busy, but it is actually well organized.

In the largest private room, a huge dining table was empty, and soon, one exquisite hot dish after another was served on the table.

Everything seemed to be planned. Because we were filming a documentary, there were no guests for the time being, and we had to prepare all the dishes before we could eat them.

When Jiang Feng has some free time during his busy schedule, he will direct other chefs to do their work.

The reporter wanted to interview him, but Jiang Feng was too busy to do so.

However, every time a dish comes out, Jiang Feng will introduce it to reporters.

"This dish is called Steamed Eight Treasure Pork. The pork is marinated for four hours and then steamed. Then numerous small holes are pierced in the pork and ice water is poured over it to effectively remove the fat from the pork and make the skin crispy. Then it is steamed for another 10 minutes."

"This dish is called Jiangmi Jiang Duck, which is a kind of braised duck. The braising technique is very unique. Steamed glutinous rice is used for the braising. The taste is sweet and not greasy. The taste is surprisingly good."

"This dish is called clay pot chicken, which means chicken cooked in a clay pot. It's a traditional dish."

"This dish is called pickled quail, which is braised quail meat."

"This dish is called braised goose, a famous braised delicacy in the Si-Ying area, and the best way to eat goose."

"This dish is called vegetable python. It is an authentic folk delicacy. It has a thin skin and a large filling. It is full of vegetables when you take a bite. It is a top-notch vegetarian delicacy."

Jiang Feng spoke to the camera confidently and gently.

He was wearing a clean white chef's uniform and had a handsome and clean face. Judging from his age, he looked like an apprentice, but in fact he was the head chef of the more than 30 chefs behind him.

Just like the executive chef at a state banquet.

He could tell something about every dish.

The dishes were served one by one, and it took more than two hours before all 108 dishes were placed on the round table.

Looking closely, the huge round table looks like a beautiful painting, and the dishes are particularly beautiful.

Just looking at it makes you feel rich.

Not wanting to waste even a moment, the photographer kept taking pictures of the scene on the table.

These dishes are not only delicious but also beautifully presented.

Looking closer, you can see pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, goose, fish, donkey, horse and venison, and each type of meat is cooked exquisitely.

There is also a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes.

It can be said that this table covers delicacies from all over the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best Chinese banquet.

No matter what, Jiang Yuetai's successful reproduction of this table of dishes is enough to leave a strong mark in the catering industry.

The brand founded by Jiang Feng has become as influential as century-old brands in just a few years.

It seemed like only a few hours of work, but in fact, Jiang Feng had spent half a month preparing for this table of dishes.

Now that it has been successfully completed, it has established the status of Jiang Yuetai’s Kyoto branch.

The chefs at Jiang Yuetai were very excited when they saw the large table of dishes.

Successfully completed, mission accomplished.

This banquet may be the most grand banquet in their lifetime.

In addition to CCTV documentaries, Jiang Yuetai also has its own publicity department, which shoots and records video footage and only takes two days of editing before it can be released on the video platform.

"It's finally a success." "Now we can open a business in Kyoto and gain a firm foothold."

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

After shooting for a while, finish shooting all the shots.

Jiang Feng called all the chefs, including the photographers from CCTV and Jiang Yuetai, to come over.

"This table of dishes is for filming and recording, but also for us to make ourselves."

“My idea is to invite everyone to eat together.”

"Now that the filming is over, let's eat directly."

"Don't leave any!"

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

The staff of the CCTV program team were even more excited.

What? There is such a good thing?
Film a show and eat a full banquet for free?
Can we catch up with this?

Everyone laughed very happily, took their bowls and chopsticks, came to the dining table, and began to taste this delicious food.

Jiang Feng also joined in.

The first dish he ate was called Tianxiang White Wings.

There is no reason, simply because it is expensive.

It is the most expensive dish.

The ingredients used are three types of abalone: ​​jade abalone, black gold abalone, and pearl abalone.
The seasonings used are honey, osmanthus fragrance, saffron, ambergris,
The main feature is that it’s expensive!

After the abalone is soaked in honey water, it is boiled in saffron water for an hour and then baked in a baking tray with ambergris.

In order to ensure authenticity, Jiang Feng uses only real ingredients.

What we eat here is not food, but money.

But to be honest, the abalone made in this way is very delicious.

Abalone is tender to begin with, and the roasted surface makes it crispy. With the flavor of honey, it is sweet and fragrant.

After biting open the sweet and crispy outer skin, the abalone meat inside is also very chewy, and the whole thing exudes an indescribable fragrance.

After eating it, the whole person feels refreshed.

A top-notch Chinese banquet is more than just delicious.

It also has a tonic effect.

Jiang Feng ate several abalones and enjoyed it very much.

Then he tried the lotus chicken slices, braised duck, braised goose, etc.

At this time, I just felt that my stomach and eyes were not enough.

I want to eat everything I see, and I eat this and then that.

Indescribable pleasure.

Everyone was very happy after the meal.

Even though there were 108 dishes, most of them were eaten up after an hour.

Fortunately, a lot of precious video materials were left behind, so they were not wasted.

CCTV will also have an exclusive interview with Jiang Feng later, and there are many questions for the interview.

We also need to shoot some transition scenes at Jiangyuetai.

The filming of this Manchu-Han Banquet is now completed.

After finishing all these, two days later, Jiang Yuetai’s account posted the whole process of cooking the Manchu Han Banquet.

When netizens saw the bustling scene in the kitchen, they were also shocked by Jiang Yuetai's work.

"After watching this video, I realized that Boss Jiang is indeed a real boss!"

"Indeed, so cool. He is the best chef in the country, with so many top chefs as his subordinates!"

"Really awesome!"

"I just want to ask if these vegetables can be sold at a stall?"

“Why isn’t it open? I want to eat!”

"I just want to ask, how many people ordered this table of food!"

The video quickly went viral.

The question that many people are concerned about is whether they can afford the Manchu Han Banquet, after all, they are not short of money.

Finally, Jiang Yuetai’s official reply said that all the dishes are available in Jiang Yuetai, but they are in different stores. If they want to prepare a table, there is no such set meal for the time being.

That's normal, after all, there's usually not enough space for so many dishes.

Following this wave of popularity, Jiang Feng’s branch in Kyoto was also successfully opened.

When it opened, it was packed with people.

Kyoto is a place with no shortage of people, so it seems even more lively.

The main dishes at Jiang Yuetai in Kyoto are Shandong cuisine, but they also include many other home-cooked dishes.

It’s not just one type of cuisine.

Delicious will do.

As usual, Jiang Feng acted as the head chef and had to entertain the guests well throughout the week.

Soon, CCTV also released a special food documentary "Man Han Banquet".

Jiang Feng really put on a show this time.

The program has a high viewership rate, especially in Kyoto, where many people like to watch CCTV programs.

These are all signals.

In the program, Jiang Feng introduced each dish one by one, showing erudition and confidence.

Looking at his young and handsome face, many people will still have a feeling that it is unreal.

"He's so young and he's already the head chef of the Manchu-Han Banquet. This guy must be extremely capable!"

"It's really awesome!"

"Nothing to complain about, the food he makes is just delicious!"

"It would be nice if I could see the full Manchu-Han banquet once!"

"These dishes can be found in restaurants, and you can follow the recipes and eat them bit by bit!"

"Jiang Yue Tai has launched a guide to the Manchu Han Banquet. The 108 dishes are distributed in different Jiang Yue Tai restaurants. If you want to eat them, you can follow the guide to eat them one by one."

After watching the show, people talked about Jiang Feng's story.

Discussing Jiang Feng’s achievements.

Jiang Feng's career was successful. He was not only a top chef, but also a big boss who owned several restaurants.

And he has countless top chefs under his command.

The foundation is very profound.

During the week that Kyoto opened, it was packed every day.

Still a familiar scene.

Jiang Feng is busy in the kitchen all day, making all kinds of delicious dishes.

With his current strength, there is really no dish that can stump him.

He can basically cook all the popular dishes on the market.

And it was cooked very well, with perfect timing and flavor.

After all, he is a contemporary chef, so his skills must be good.

After finishing his work in Kyoto, Jiang Feng returned to eastern Shandong.

There are still many things in life that need to be busy.

While pursuing your career, you still have to take care of your family. (End of this chapter)
