Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Manchu-Han Imperial Feast! Opening a Restaurant in the Capital City!

The biggest challenge in opening a restaurant had to be in the Capital City.

The new Jiangyue Terrace was established in Capital City, with impeccable location and décor.

Some say Capital City is a culinary desert, while others say the only noteworthy foods are roast duck and hot pot.

That’s not entirely true.

There are many good restaurants in Capital City, but the downside is they’re expensive.

After all, as one of the top-tier cities in the country, there’s an abundance of wealthy people, and many don’t mind spending on meals.

What they want is style and flavor.

With the establishment of Jiangyue Terrace in Capital City, Jiang Feng was planning something else.

This time, Jiangyue Terrace had three floors. The first floor, being the largest, consisted of scattered tables, each enclosed by railings, and the décor was traditionally elegant, creating a beautiful environment.

The second and third floors were comprised of private rooms, luxuriously decorated.

To make a business successful, you need to have some buzz.

Coincidentally, Jiang Feng received an invitation from CCTV to film a culinary documentary.

Jiang Feng decided to make a documentary on the complete Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

The Manchu Han Imperial Feast has a total of 108 dishes. It’s said that, so far, no more than three restaurants have been able to produce the full set.

It’s hard because the skills and techniques involved in the dishes are complicated, making it difficult for any restaurant to execute them all.

Jiang Feng merely chose a few of these dishes to compete in an international culinary competition and emerged as the champion.

It shows just how exquisite these dishes are.

Even a state banquet need not feature the Manchu Han Imperial Feast because it’s too troublesome. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Jiang Feng decided to recreate the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

This would establish Jiangyue Terrace’s reputation in Capital City.

Jiang Feng conveyed his plan to Executive Chef Wang Weiye.

Upon hearing, Wang Weiye remarked:

"Boss, this won’t be easy."

"Chef, plating, line cook, dish pairing, carving - there are over thirty people involved."

"It might be too busy for you to coordinate alone."

Jiang Feng calmly replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll send out my instructions; I’ll organize how to do it specifically."

"It seems no one has done the Manchu Han Imperial Feast for many years."

"I plan to bring it back."

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

"Right, in recent years, I haven’t heard of any restaurant being able to produce the Manchu Han Imperial Feast."

"This banquet is so complex, it’s hard to start on many dishes."

"Even if someone does make it, many of the dishes are just for show and not authentic Manchu Han Imperial Feast."

That’s why Jiang Feng planned to recreate the full banquet.

He was the head chef and also the overall responsible, with others assisting him.

Jiang Feng began mentally organizing the methods for each dish.

The real challenge of the Manchu Han Imperial Feast is that the 108 dishes must be completed within two hours.

In other words, some dishes must be prepared in advance, while others made last.

This requires chefs to be well-acquainted with each dish.

Then they need to draft a timetable, aligning the endpoints of these 108 timelines together.

This is the hardest part.

Of course, there’s also the matter that several dishes involve protected animals, like steamed bear claw, and must be substituted.

Jiang Feng was impressive, summoning the executive chefs and best chefs from every Jiangyue Terrace location.

Top chefs from the eight major cuisines gathered at Jiangyue Terrace in Capital City.

Such a feat, apart from governmental organizations, can only be achieved by Jiang Feng.

This news spread quickly.

With so many employees at Jiangyue Terrace, the word of top chefs gathering in Capital City spread online during casual conversations.

Mainly because Jiang Feng is incredibly famous.

As the country’s most renowned chef, he owns restaurants of the eight major cuisines, each deeply rooted and thriving, and personally he has crafted a variety of gourmet dishes.

In the culinary world, two words are often used to describe him:

Legend

He truly is a legendary figure in the dining industry.

With his extraordinary skills and nearly omnipotent cooking methods, Jiang Feng’s fame has gradually grown until he’s now a household name.

Many people are speculating online about this.

"Boss Jiang gathered the executive chefs of the eight major cuisines; what’s he planning?"

"These chefs are top of their region, with high status and influence."

"Indeed, many people go to Jiangyue Terrace just for the name of these top chefs."

"Seems like something big is going down!"

Online speculations abound.

After gathering the chefs, Jiang Feng began the briefing.

"The Manchu Han Imperial Feast hasn’t been fully recreated in recent years due to its complexity involving numerous cuisines and diverse methods. Without a strong foundation, many are stumped."

"But what others cannot do, Jiangyue Terrace can."

"We’ve gathered top chefs from various cuisines here; producing a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast isn’t difficult."

"This time, the recreation of Manchu Han Imperial Feast will be filmed by CCTV for a special documentary."

"Meaning this event will be etched in culinary history."

"Coincidentally, Jiangyue Terrace in Capital City is ready to open."

"Before opening, let’s accomplish something big, produce a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and show our peers the prowess of Jiangyue Terrace."

In the conference room, Jiang Feng delivered his speech.

Many chefs below felt fired up, filled with passion.

This was indeed a significant event.

In today’s internet age, anyone who can recreate a complete Manchu Han Imperial Feast would quickly become a sensation online.

However, it hasn’t happened because it’s simply beyond reach for most.

Even for top chefs, relying on personal resources and influence, it’s impossible to produce the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
