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

"Hello everyone, I'm working as a chef in Jiang Yuetai. The dish I'm going to make today is called Dragon's Birthday Nine Sons."

"This is a famous palace dish. The preparation is not complicated, but the ingredients are very fiddly."

"Since it is the Nine Sons of the Dragon's Birthday, we must pay attention to selecting ingredients from all over the country, so that it fits the name of this dish."

In Jiang Yuetai's kitchen, Jiang Feng explains to the camera while preparing ingredients.

This time he plans to make a video to explain to everyone the method of dragon birth and nine sons.

The photographer records every scene.

"First of all, let's talk about the water used to make this dish. It was originally supposed to be water from the seven major waters, and then distilled into pure water, in order to get a good omen."

“Waters include Songhua River waters, Liaohe River waters, Haihe River waters, Yellow River waters, Huaihe River waters, Yangtze River waters, and Pearl River waters.”

"Take the water from these places, mix it together, and distill it."

"The dragon is our totem. In this case, it means that this dish comes from all over the world."

Speaking of this, Jiang Feng originally wanted to say that the water he used was ordinary pure water.

After all, you can't just ask people to fetch river water from seven places and send it over.

You can't drink the river water either. It's pure water anyway, so there's no difference.

Then, Jiang Feng began to display the ingredients on the chopping board.

"Next, I'll show you the ingredients for this dish."

"This is the mountain mushroom from the snowy mountains in the northeast, this is the red date from Kunlun in the northwest, this is the lily from the Xiangjiang River Real Estate, this is the fresh sea abalone produced in the Guangdong and Guangzhou region in the southeast, and this is the alpine cordyceps from Bashu in the southwest."

"And this one, the Coconut King from Hainan area."

Jiang Feng showed the ingredients one by one and added:

"All ingredients are purchased from the place of origin and shipped by post."

“Because I buy in bulk, it’s very convenient to order a lot at once.”

"This dish has a more important meaning."

Jiang Feng still explained calmly.

The camera guy was very nervous, for fear of missing any detail.

Jiang Feng placed two large pots on the integrated stove and said:

"Next, put the old chicken in the casserole, add the tube bones, then put all these ingredients in and stew a pot of old soup."

Jiang Feng put a few chickens into a casserole, added some large bone sticks, spread the ingredients from all over the country in it, and poured in purified water.

"If you are eating by yourself, one pot of soup is enough. Since I have to entertain a lot of guests, I need to prepare more, so the quantity is larger."

Jiang Feng poured in water and began to stew.

Simmering over high heat for four hours is almost enough.

It's just time for dinner.

The stock is simmering, and now it’s time to make the main course.

Jiang Feng took out a few more pieces of meat from the pot next to him and introduced:

"This is venison from the Northeast, this is deep-sea fish from the East China Sea, this is grassland horse meat, this is yellow beef from the plains, and this is yak meat from Sichuan and Tibet."

"The next step is to pound all the meat into a paste and then make it into meatballs."

"Look over there, everyone, my assistants are helping me pound the meat."

Jiang Feng pointed to the side and motioned for the cameraman to shoot to the side.

The cameraman immediately turned the camera around.

Looking carefully, there are three chefs holding small hammers and wearing chef uniforms next to them, who are concentrating on hammering the meat.

Top quality beef balls are made with a hammer.

After being tempered by hand, the meat will slowly turn into minced meat and can be made into meatballs.

Such meatballs have a more delicate texture and a better experience than those made by a meat grinder.

The picture looks a bit funny. Three people are hammering the meat with small hammers and separating each kind of meat paste.

After all, it was Jiang Feng who decided on the final matching.

At this point, shooting can be temporarily stopped.

After waiting for a while, when the meat was almost done, Jiang Feng asked the photographer to continue shooting.

He laid out five kinds of meat paste and said to the camera:

"Next, mix the five kinds of meat paste according to the proportion, then add onion and ginger water, salt, pepper, egg liquid, starch, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce, mix evenly, and then roll into large balls."

As Jiang Feng spoke, he poured the ingredients into a transparent basin and stirred them constantly with chopsticks to fully combine the meat paste and ingredients.

Finally, he took out a spoonful of minced meat, rolled it back and forth in his hand, and a ball came out.

The Nine Sons of Dragon's Birthday refers to the delicious meatballs made from nine soup stock placed under a dragon carving of radish.

When Jiang Feng rolled the balls, he moved very lightly and his slender fingers were very nimble. You couldn't even see how he did it in the video. Suddenly, there was an extra ball between his hands.

Then, the palms of both hands rubbed back and forth, making the balls more and more round.

At this moment, Jiang Feng didn't realize that after the video was released, the scene was made into an animated picture and saved.

He has two new titles:

Meatball Master, Whirlpool Jiangfeng

Many people also commented:

"He ordered something, I doubt he has chakra!"

"No, why did you suddenly roll out balls!"

"My eyes were dazzled or the video card was stuck. I didn't even see how his hands moved!"

"Absolutely absolutely amazing!"

At this time, Jiang Feng continued to cook and explain.

"The final steps are easy."

"Put these meatballs in a pan and fry them until they change color."

"Then, put the fried meatballs in a basin, pour some stewed stock, and steam them for a while."

"This is the ninth son of Long Dan's nine sons."

"Place a dragon sculpture on the dinner plate, place nine meatballs underneath, and pour rich broth."

"This is the dish."

"The water comes from the seven major waters, the ingredients come from all over the country, and the meat is also representative of the meat selected from various places."

"Since the meatballs are called the nine sons born of the dragon, they must conform to the characteristics of the dragon."

"This is also a representative of Chinese food culture, a top Chinese famous dish."

After saying this, the video recording ends.

In the end, there will definitely be a recording of what the finished product will look like.

But you have to wait until the stock is ready.

Jiangyuetai is busy inside and lively outside.

Many people came early, and people started queuing up at 5 a.m.

It’s not like the people queuing up are so crazy and have to be so early.

Instead, you can make money by arranging arrangements for others.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if there is no profit, you can’t afford it, and making money is the way to go.

For example, when new Apple products were launched, people lined up in stores the night before. Some people said it was because fans were too crazy.

In fact, it is not the case. It is mainly done by purchasing agents and scalpers. After buying it, they can make hundreds or even thousands by selling it, so they will definitely be willing to queue up in advance.
