From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 216: Making oil-fried double crispy dishes in public (three updates, )

The few people who ordered the oil to fry the double crisp didn't get up and leave because of Feng Zhengming's various requests. Instead, they actually took out their money.

"50 is 50. We agree to pay first. But we paid 50. Can you give us a few other dishes? At least let us open the wine first."

The other customers at the food stall were a little surprised when they saw the customer at this table taking out 50 yuan.

You know, a piece of meat only costs 5 cents.

For customers sitting at food stalls, a plate of food only costs one or two yuan.

Even the more expensive dishes, such as the three-pack, only cost 10 yuan.

A dish costs 50 yuan, which really shocked everyone.

The key point is that Feng Zhengming and his customers really dare to ask and give.

Seeing the 50 yuan that the other party took out made Feng Zhengming feel that the other party was not just looking for trouble.

After all, I am willing to shell out 50 yuan just for one dish.

If this is just to find trouble, wouldn't the cost be a little higher?

Feng Zhengming said helplessly: "Why bother, you guys? Take these 50 and go to several restaurants in Quancheng. You should be able to order a table of food and have a good drink."

The other party looked at each other and smiled, with no intention of taking back the 50.

"It doesn't matter, we just want to see Master Xiao Feng's craftsmanship, and if we order this dish at a food stall, we can see you make it with our own eyes. This is completely impossible to see when ordering it in restaurants and restaurants."

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but complain: Isn't this nonsense? Can a restaurant also allow you to go to the kitchen and watch others cook?

What's more, in a restaurant, it's impossible for the chef to cook this dish alone. If a customer orders this dish, someone must have cut it and prepared it for the chef.

Nowadays, food stalls require you to cook it yourself, and it is considered to be done in public, so naturally you have to charge more.

Seeing that several people were resolute, Feng Zhengming accepted the money.

"Okay, those guys, wait a moment."

Feng Zhengming also asked Chen Anbang to get some tofu, dried tofu and gluten and cut them all for them.

Then Feng Zhengming took out the prepared pork belly and chicken gizzards.

At this time, Xia Hui came close and whispered: "Uncle, let me help you with the matching."

Feng Zhengming shook his head and said, "No need."

And almost at the same time that Feng Zhengming said no, the paying guests also spoke.

"Master Xiao Feng, we gave you the money because we wanted you to do it yourself. You can't let the apprentice interfere and fool us."

Feng Zhengming responded: "Don't worry."

Place the pork belly and chicken gizzards next to the cutting board. Put the pork belly on the cutting board first and remove the thickest part of the pork belly.

Then Feng Zhengming broke open the pig belly, flattened it, and then used a razor blade to remove the skin on both sides.

Because it was done in the open air of a food stall, Feng Zhengming's process of doing it naturally attracted the attention of some customers from the food stall.

Soon the nearby food stalls all noticed and quietly came over to watch.

As soon as there were people watching, it naturally attracted many people from the train station to watch.

As a result, Feng Zhengming's cooking was quickly watched by a group of people.

Several customers who ordered this dish looked closely at it.

I saw Feng Zhengming very neatly removing the skin from the inside and outside of the pig belly.

The crowd really burst into exclamation instantly.

"Oh, this skill is amazing."

"This knife skill is amazing."

"Can the film be removed like this?"

"They slice it both inside and out, just the tenderest part in the middle of the pork belly."

Amid the exclamations, Feng Zhengming held the knife steadily and then sliced ​​off both sides of the pork belly.

This was another scene that surprised everyone present.

You must know that the skin on the inside and outside of the pork belly slices has been removed, and the remaining part is already very thin.

But even though it was so thin, Feng Zhengming still used mesh knives on both the front and back.

This may be the first time for many people to see someone doing this at such a close distance.

In this era, most of the time, even if people order this dish in a restaurant, they can only see it after it is served on the table. Almost no one can see how the chef prepares this dish in the kitchen up close.

Seeing Feng Zhengming's knife skills with their own eyes today was really shocking to many people.

Not to mention the onlookers who don’t know how to cook.

Even Xia Hui, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked by Feng Zhengming's knife skills.

People who don’t know how to do it might just be amazed that it’s so thin, how can it be used like this?

Xia Hui knew very well that the speed and accuracy of Feng Zhengming's knife skills were terrifying.

Although he was surrounded by people, Feng Zhengming was absolutely confident in his knife skills. He was as precise as his seasoning. There were almost no unnecessary cuts. The key was that the cuts were very fast.

When the crowd of onlookers began to exclaim and comment, Feng Zhengming had already cut the pork belly into small pieces and put it on the plate.

Then take the chicken gizzards to the vegetable pile and first remove the fascia layer on the outside of the chicken gizzards.

This step, which was still just a piece of fascia, had already made the crowd of onlookers exclaim.

Then Feng Zhengming slapped a chrysanthemum knife on the chicken gizzards.

Each knife looked like it was about to cut off, but it could stop at the last point.

After cutting the flower knife, each chicken gizzard looks like a small chrysanthemum.

After the flower knife was cut, Feng Zhengming marinated the pork belly and chicken gizzards respectively.

When the onlookers saw Feng Zhengming cooking, some people left immediately as they were about to leave. Others did not leave, but continued to watch, wanting to see what dish was cooked in the end.

In fact, after watching Feng Zhengming cut the pork belly and chicken gizzards, the people who ordered the dishes exchanged glances with each other, and they already recognized Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship.

After all, several people seemed to understand that even a master chef in a restaurant might not dare to cook this dish in public.

Especially since there was no preparation in advance, it was still in the open air, and was watched by many passers-by.

Feng Zhengming was able to cut very steadily without any interference, and his key speed was really not slow at all.

If it had been anyone else, he might have cut through the flower knife in front of everyone by accident.

Or in this case, some chefs may not hit the knife as deep as Feng Zhengming.

After all, most of the people watching didn't understand, and maybe no one could tell that the flower knife was slightly lacking.

The onlookers were really impressed by Feng Zhengming's knife skills.

Even the owners of several other food stalls could only be convinced.

We used to cook food stalls together, but actually the dishes we cooked were not that difficult.

Because the dishes are all the same, there is no need for such meticulous knife skills.

Other bosses always felt that Feng Zhengming was just better than them in seasoning. Today I finally understood that Feng Zhengming was not even remotely better than them.

Now everyone finally understands that the story about Feng Zhengming challenging two generations of middle-aged and young chefs in Jubin Garden, and even surpassing them in skills, should not have been exaggerated.

Feng Zhengming prepared the side dishes again and basically had everything ready.

It seems that there is a lot of work that needs to be prepared in advance, but in fact Feng Zhengming does it very quickly and basically does not waste much time.

Finally, the bowl of sauce was prepared, and Feng Zhengming officially started making this oil-fried double crispy dish.

The first thing is to put the pork belly and chicken gizzards into the pot and grease them.

First heat the chicken gizzards with oil and put them into the pan. When the chicken gizzards almost change color, quickly add the pork belly to the pan.

The pork belly is taken out of the pot within a few seconds and immediately poured out.

When pouring it onto the colander, just use the hot oil to rinse the garnishes.

Leave a little oil at the bottom of the pot, first sauté the onion and ginger until fragrant, then add the vegetables on the colander to the pot, then add the prepared bowl of juice to the pot, and quickly stir-fry over high heat.

Just stir-fry a few times to let the sauce completely coat the surface of every ingredient, and the dish is ready.

The onlookers were once again stunned.

Watching Feng Zhengming's cutting and matching process before, everyone already thought that he was very good at cutting and matching, and the cutting and matching process was really too fast.

Now that I see him cooking, I never expected that it would be faster.

Deep-fried in oil until crispy, take out of the pan and serve on a plate.

Feng Zhengming turned around with the plate and handed it to the people who were ordering.

"Okay, the oil you ordered is double crispy."

Seeing this, several people were completely speechless.

The crowd of onlookers was also silent.

After a period of silence, someone took the lead in shouting hello and applauding Feng Zhengming.

The crowd of onlookers instantly burst into cheers and applause.

"It's great. I didn't expect to see someone cooking like this with my own eyes."

"This is real cooking."

"This dish is so beautifully cooked."

"It's flowing like a cloud. I never thought that cooking could be so cool and unrestrained."

"Yes, cool, really cool."

“The chef is a chef, I really can’t fault him.”

At this time, Xia Hui, who was standing nearby and watching Feng Zhengming making oil and double crispy in public, looked at Feng Zhengming with eyes full of admiration. She simply stared at Feng Zhengming and refused to move away.

Several people who were ordering food finally reached out to take the food.

"Master Feng, I'm sorry, we were rude just now."

"We are really impressed by Master Feng's skills."

"We were rude just now, please don't blame Master Feng."

"Master Feng's craftsmanship makes this dish worth 50 yuan."

Hearing people say that this dish costs 50 yuan, the onlookers were also shocked.

The owners of other food stalls were also surprised when they heard that this dish cost 50 yuan.

But if you think about it carefully, the whole cooking process of Feng Zhengming seems to be worth the 50 yuan charged for this dish. After all, this dish is really not something that ordinary chefs can do.

Feng Zhengming was praised so much that he smiled and said, "Don't rush to apologize to me. It's better to try it first. What if the taste I made is not right? I might even refund you the money."

These words made the few people who ordered this dish feel even more embarrassed.

Several people watched Feng Zhengming make this dish with their own eyes. How could they not know whether the dish tasted right?

There was no need to eat it at all, just watching Feng Zhengming make it, several people already made a judgment in their hearts.

Not only does this dish taste right, but looking at Quancheng, there are probably not many chefs who can make it to this level.

Several people looked at each other, and the person who paid the money spoke again.

"Master Feng, we are really convinced by your craftsmanship today. In such an open-air environment, with so many people watching, you can cook such a dish that tests your knife skills and fire skills without any mess at all." With such a perfect look, we are completely convinced by you."

Everyone else in the group also clasped their fists at Feng Zhengming and said, "We are convinced."

Xia Hui, who had been staring at Feng Zhengming, woke up after hearing a few people's persuasion.

When Xia Hui came back to her senses, she immediately became a bit unreasonable.

"Are you convinced now? You were just like the uncle before, sitting there insisting on ordering oil to fry the double crisps. How rich is it? Since you know that this is an open-air environment, and this dish is a test of knife skills and fire skills, why are you still insisting? Do you want to order this dish? And you said you didn’t come here to cause trouble?”

Chen Anbang also squeezed into the crowd and asked: "Who sent you? Are you deliberately not wanting us to do business well?"

Xia Hui and Chen Anbang jointly asked the question, which instantly aroused the indignation of the crowd.

"This is so unreasonable. We are doing business well, so why should we embarrass others?"

"Yeah, you can't do this even if you have money, right?"

"What if someone spoils the food, are they really going to blow up their stall?"

"Is it easy for people who have skills to work in a food stall here at the train station with their skills? Isn't this bullying?"

A few people didn't expect that they would become the target of public criticism in a blink of an eye. The key was that the crowd of onlookers even wanted to teach a few of them a lesson.

Several people finally had no choice but to give in and seriously apologize to Feng Zhengming again.

Feng Zhengming still stopped everyone from verbally criticizing several people.

"Thank you all for speaking up for me, and thank you all for understanding that doing business is not easy. I do have some skills, but I just want to do some business with my skills. Today's fried double crispy dish can be regarded as my best choice during this period. This is a high-profile lesson, and I ask everyone to take more care of my small business in the future.”

At this point, Feng Zhengming grinned and said: "Don't order this dish from me. It is indeed a bit hard to make this dish at the food stall."

Someone in the crowd immediately asked: "Can I order this dish from Fengjiagang Restaurant?"

Feng Zhengming said: "You can't order it in the shop for the time being. If Fengjiagan Restaurant expands its operations in the future, or if I open my own restaurant, I will definitely let everyone order this dish."

Then Feng Zhengming once again thanked the onlookers for helping him speak, and asked the onlookers to disperse first.

When the crowd dispersed, Feng Zhengming looked at the people who were ordering oil fried double crisp and said: "You go eat and drink first, otherwise the food will get cold in a while."

Several people looked at each other, and then the person who paid the money spoke again.

"Master Feng, actually, we are coming here tonight. On the one hand, we want to see your craftsmanship. On the other hand, we want to open a restaurant together. We hope to invite Master Feng to cook."

Feng Zhengming laughed when he heard this: "You must have heard of it. I have been approached by many people, but I rejected them all."

The person who paid tonight nodded: "We have all heard about it, but the restaurant we are going to open is different from the others that invited you. The restaurant we are going to open will be a more tasteful and high-end restaurant. Our restaurant It will benchmark against some foreign restaurants and become the first international restaurant in Quancheng."

"International restaurant?" Feng Zhengming suppressed his smile and looked at several people carefully with some surprise.
