Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Orleans Chicken Leg Burger? Orleans Chicken Leg Wrap!

At 9 a.m., Jiang Feng finished serving the last wave of customers and prepared to close his stall. There were more customers today than yesterday, and many of them said they would come again tomorrow. After enjoying their breakfast, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces and were exceptionally warm towards Jiang Feng. He enjoyed this sense of life’s simple pleasures.

In every city, there are a few breakfast spots that are especially popular. Though these places sell ordinary breakfasts, the taste is extraordinarily good. Many locals would drive specifically to eat there in the morning. Even though Jiang Feng’s stall was small, it was equivalent to a highly delicious breakfast restaurant. Naturally, it attracted a lot of customers.

Today’s task was successfully completed, serving 283 diners in total.

The extra reward for the task was the [Orleans Chicken Bun Recipe].

Jiang Feng was somewhat astonished when he saw the reward.

Orleans chicken... in a bun? Isn’t that a burger? But then again, it’s all just meat wrapped in dough, so there’s not a huge difference.

The number of customers will probably be even greater tomorrow. I need to prepare more varieties. I was hoping to take it easy this week, just making Sauce Meat Buns and egg fried rice. But if the regulars are coming, then I should add some variety.

As Jiang Feng drove down the mountain, these thoughts occupied his mind.

This week, he had set up his stall in the mountainous scenic area. He thought there would be fewer customers and that he would have to rely on orders from the temple and mountain-climbing tourists to complete his tasks. To his surprise, some people saw his post online and made a special trip to come. Some of them were regulars, and others just joined in for the buzz. Regardless, the usually empty square was as bustling as a morning market today!

With more people came greater pressure, so he still had to work diligently. It felt increasingly strange to run a small stall. Jiang Feng’s initial idea was simply to be an ordinary stall owner, earn system money, and live a leisurely and prosperous life. After a few weeks, however, he still owned a stall, but it was far from ordinary. With many people seeking him out, he had to commit to doing well. He couldn’t even think of not working.

For the sake of my golden frying pan, I’ll work overtime. Jiang Feng thought to himself.

Returning home early, Jiang Feng took Little Black out of the villa and went to the storefront he had bought on the street. The storefront used to be a small restaurant, with an area for serving customers in front and a kitchen in the back. Jiang Feng took a liking to this place precisely because the kitchen was spacious and fully equipped. He cleared out the front room so he could park his food truck, planning to work in the kitchen from now on.

The kitchen was still being renovated. It mainly involved the installation of cooking appliances like steamers, exhaust hoods, stoves, and coolers. As for decoration and ambiance, Jiang Feng didn’t care, as he wasn’t serving customers there after all.

When he entered, the workers from the appliance factory were busy.

"Master, how much longer until it’s finished?" Jiang Feng asked.

"It will be ready by tomorrow. We need to test it and clean up the place. You can use it the day after tomorrow," the worker replied.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

After checking the renovation progress, Jiang Feng left.

During the day, he rested and slept, occasionally ordering ingredients and preparing the bun fillings.

At night, Jiang Feng began to prepare the meat filling for the next day. The Sauce Meat Buns remained the highlight, and Jiang Feng planned to add pork and cabbage buns and Orleans Chicken Leg Buns the following day. The meat filling for the Orleans Chicken Leg Buns needed to be marinated in advance.

Jiang Feng took out a dozen defrosted raw chicken legs, skinned and deboned them, keeping only the meat, then cut it into small pieces. He put the chicken pieces into a bowl, added oyster sauce, corn, starch, cooking wine, an appropriate amount of Orleans marinade, and a bit of dark soy sauce for coloring. Stirring them together, he ensured the chicken pieces were properly marinated.

He didn’t waste the trimmed chicken skins either. He added a little oil to the pan, put both the chicken skins and ginger slices in it, and used a low flame to fry out the chicken fat. There’s a saying, "The original essence enhances the original food." Using the rendered chicken fat to cook the chicken leg meat would integrate the flavors better. Jiang Feng had a knack for preparing meat fillings.

Once the chicken fat was rendered and cooled for a bit, it was ready to be poured into the Orleans chicken filling. The rendered chicken fat could lock in the flavors of the starch and sauce and enhance the fragrance of the chicken meat. This ensured that the steamed chicken buns were not dry but rather succulent and flavorful. This was a mark of his skill.

Then, he covered the bowl with plastic wrap and placed it in the refrigerator to chill for more than six hours, allowing the chicken leg meat to better absorb the sauce’s flavors. By doing this, the Orleans Chicken Leg Buns he made would turn out smooth and delectable.

The meat filling for the pork and cabbage buns was simpler: chopped cabbage, minced pork belly, some seasonings, stirred well, and that was it. The only thing to pay attention to was the ratio of seasonings.

Thus, the sauce meat filling, Orleans chicken leg filling, pork and cabbage filling, and the vegetable filling were all ready. He just had to wait until the next day for the dough to ferment well, then cut it into portions, roll them into wrappers, and finally wrap the buns one by one.

After hustling with these tasks, Jiang Feng went to bed early.

「The next day, at three in the morning」

Jiang Feng woke from his sleep. He washed his face and felt quite refreshed. Ever since he ate the Stretched Leg Staring Eye Pill, Jiang Feng’s stamina and spirits had improved a lot, and he slept soundly every night. He hoped to get another one in the future.

Then, Jiang Feng busied himself with wrapping and steaming buns in the kitchen.

After a full two and a half hours of work, he took his food truck full of buns and continued towards Fengqi Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the working auntie was already waiting there. The two had agreed on WeChat to meet at the foot of the mountain at six o’clock. A few hours’ work for 200 yuan was a great deal the auntie wouldn’t miss, so she had arrived early.

After picking up the auntie, Jiang Feng drove up, making his way to the small plaza halfway up the mountain.

Several figures were already waiting on the plaza. Three of them were tourists who had come to watch the sunrise, following a friend’s suggestion: "After watching the sunrise from the mountaintop, go to the small plaza halfway up the mountain to find a food truck. Eating the buns there is absolutely amazing."

Li Xiangfo, a lay member of the temple, was also there waiting for Boss Jiang’s buns and steamed bread to take back to the temple for the morning meal.

A busy day had started again.

Jiang Feng parked the food truck and first handed over the steamed bread and buns that Li Xiangfo had ordered.

"Boss Jiang, thank you for your hard work," Li Xiangfo said gratefully. "I’ll head up now."

"Sure, go ahead," Jiang Feng replied politely.

Jiang Feng took tables and chairs from the food truck and, with the auntie’s help, set them up nearby. Then he erected a sign.

The sign read:

Special Breakfast

Sauce Meat Bun: 5 yuan each

Pork and Cabbage Bun: 5 yuan each

Orleans Chicken Leg Bun: 5 yuan each

Corn Pumpkin Porridge: 5 yuan per bowl

Tea Egg: 2 yuan each

Egg Fried Rice: 12 yuan per serving

After the sign was set up, those tourists immediately gathered around.

"Boss, you wrote this wrong, didn’t you? It should be Orleans Chicken Leg Burger," a tourist pointed to the sign and reminded him.

"I’m selling buns. The sign is correct," Jiang Feng replied courteously.

Orleans Chicken Leg Bun? Is there such a thing? The tourist was a bit stunned.

He had followed his friend’s suggestion to eat the buns on the small plaza halfway up the mountain after watching the sunrise. His friend had mentioned that the stall owner’s skills were particularly good.

Whether his skills were good or not remained to be seen, but the buns he was selling were a bit outrageous. Since when did Orleans Chicken Leg come in bun form? Did a burger cheat on its bun, or did a chicken leg have an affair? Still, I’m really curious to try it.

"Boss, give me one Orleans Chicken Leg Bun, one Sauce Meat Bun, a bowl of Corn Pumpkin Porridge, and a tea egg," he immediately ordered.

The two tourists behind him ordered the same.

Clearly, everyone was quite curious about the taste of the Orleans Chicken Leg Bun.

"Alright, eating here or to go?" Jiang Feng asked.

"We’ll eat here."

"Okay."

Jiang Feng prepared a disposable bowl, ladled out a bowl of Corn Pumpkin Porridge, and grabbed the two buns. The auntie was in charge of handing over the buns and porridge.

Looking at the large, round buns, the tourists nodded with satisfaction.

Anyway, these buns look quite appetizing.

Then, they picked up the buns with chopsticks, blew on them, and took a big bite.
