Cooking System: Street Food Rules-Chapter 346: Overwhelming Demand, The World Has Gone Mad!
Jiang Feng certainly wasn’t short on cash.
After renting a shop, he bought over three hundred jars just for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Each jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall costs at least 5,000 yuan, and the jars are given to customers directly.
Next was buying ingredients.
A lot of money was spent on ingredients, roughly estimated at at least 100,000 yuan.
Sun Zhuangfei, following Jiang Feng for so long, also felt this venture was quite large this time.
Who sets up a stall like this?
But that’s Jiang Feng; once he has an idea, he acts on it.
In the shop, various precious ingredients were washed clean and laid out on the table.
Jiang Feng began preparing to make the dish.
The volume is quite large, and to make it well, a lot of effort is needed.
First, there’s the old chicken, old duck, ribs, and pig’s feet to make the soup base.
The old chicken is stir-fried in the pot with green onions, ginger, and aged wine.
The old duck, ribs, and pig’s feet have stronger flavors, which must be blanched to remove any odor before being stir-fried and added to the pot.
Only in this way will the soup turn out delicious.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, simply put, is about stewing precious ingredients together in a pot, but in reality, it’s quite complex.
Because each ingredient has different properties, different ways of handling, and requires different levels of heat.
Handling various ingredients correctly, then merging them together, is an extreme test of the chef’s skills.
On the shop’s integrated stove, Jiang Feng prepared several large earthenware pots just for simmering the soup.
Since they were making a large quantity, he first made the soup with the earthenware pots.
Then, he started processing ingredients, using methods including frying, deep-frying, boiling, stewing, stir-frying, and braising. Every cooking technique in Chinese cuisine is embodied in this dish. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
A total of thirty processes involving more than ten types of meats and seafood are needed to make it exceptionally fragrant and fresh.
With that, the two of them began working overtime in the shop.
They felt like the two main characters from "Breaking Bad."
If someone adapted their story, it could be called "Breaking Chef."
There was a lot of work; it truly was tiring.
Jiang Feng didn’t call anyone else in because the process of making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is lengthy and he needed to focus on the ingredients, with Sun Zhuangfei being enough help.
Sun Zhuangfei was quite busy, continually washing ingredients over there.
Some ingredients needed to be prepped in advance, like fish lips should be soaked beforehand, and sea cucumbers should be soaked and cleaned of sand in advance.
Busy with this and that, they worked tirelessly through an entire evening, finally placing each jar on the integrated stove, sealing the lids, and beginning the final simmering.
The scene of so many jars being heated by fire was quite unusual.
"Finally done,"
"It wasn’t easy."
Jiang Feng let out a long sigh.
They had worked hard for two days just for this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
"Boss, all the new ingredients have been soaked, we can continue tomorrow."
Sun Zhuangfei reported.
"Alright, well done."
"Let’s call it a day."
"Tomorrow, we’ll come back, package up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and then take it out to sell."
Looking at the kitchen scene, Jiang Feng instructed.
"Boss, how much will we sell one pot for?"
Sun Zhuangfei asked curiously.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by Jiang Feng is authentic, containing premium ingredients like shark fin, abalone, and sea cucumber.
The prices of these ingredients are not cheap.
In many top restaurants, authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall can go for 18,800 yuan a pot, and in some places, it even costs 38,800 yuan.
As the king of Fujian cuisine and a well-known high-end dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is indeed worth this price.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng replied:
"Let’s sell it for 8,888 yuan, the cost is about four to five thousand yuan, this price is quite reasonable."
Jiang Feng stated.
"Okay."
Sun Zhuangfei nodded.
For an authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and what’s more, a large pot, this price isn’t expensive.
But, considering it’s a stall, many people might not accept it.
Thinking it over, Sun Zhuangfei realized that the boss’s reputation is well known, so the price is actually quite cheap.
They’ll see how things go tomorrow.
Once the two finished their tasks and ensured everything was ready, they locked up and went back to rest.
The next day.
After preparing, the two loaded the food truck with about thirty pots of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and set off for their destination.
The system task required them to serve 100 diners, usually, such large pots of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are not meant for a single person. It takes at least four or five people to finish one.
Thus, as long as each pot serves at least three people, they’ll complete the task.
Making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is extremely challenging; producing over thirty pots was already their limit.
The vehicle drove steadily.
Jiang Feng’s driving was slow.
No wonder; today’s vending is different from before—these are all valuable goods.
Soon, Jiang Feng drove the food truck to the designated spot.
A gourmet street.
The stall arrangements were communicated in advance, and it was right at the entrance of the street.
When his food truck appeared, it was immediately recognized.
"Look, it’s Boss Jiang!"
"Really? Oh my gosh! It’s true!"
"It’s really him!"
"He’s in Fuzhou!"
"Wow, haven’t seen him in a long time!"
Passersby exclaimed in surprise.
After parking the food truck, Jiang Feng and Sun Zhuangfei started prepping for business.
Sun Zhuangfei dressed especially formally today, in a clean white chef’s robe, looking very dignified.
Sun Zhuangfei thought selling Buddha Jumps Over the Wall should reflect a sense of heritage.
Then, under Jiang Feng’s astonished gaze, he took out a tall white chef’s hat from his bag and put it on.
This outfit was a perfect match for a top restaurant’s head chef.
It indeed exuded high prestige.
