From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

He chatted with the college students and gave Feng Zhengming a lot of new ideas.

It's not just about using the internet, but also about some innovative business ideas.

On the other side, after Luo Qing and the others had their makeup done, it could be said that the sisters-in-law had completely changed their appearance.

The most significant changes were seen in the third and sixth sisters-in-law.

Both of my sisters-in-law grew up in the countryside, so they don't know much about dressing up; they just make sure their clothes are clean and tidy.

This time, with the help of a professional stylist, a complete makeup look was customized for both sisters-in-law.

Not only their clothes, but even their makeup was specially designed.

After they came out, the two sisters-in-law seemed like completely different people.

When the two sisters-in-law saw their appearance, they were both somewhat unable to accept it.

Third Sister-in-law: "Oh dear, this won't do, this really won't do. I... I can't even stand it anymore. Is this still me?"

Sixth Sister-in-law: "Isn't this too flashy? If Luo Qing takes these photos back, won't your Sixth Senior Brother scold me?"

Luo Qing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, sisters-in-law. If our senior brothers dare to say anything, let Zhengming go back and teach them a lesson. This time, we are going to overturn our past selves."

Second Aunt strongly supports Luo Qing's idea: "That's right, Luo Qing is right. We mothers have been taking care of their children at home for so many years."

Today we're going to present a more beautiful version of ourselves, so that those men know we have the right to pursue our own beauty.

My aunt was a little embarrassed about her appearance.

But when Feng Shengnan saw her mother's expression, she immediately clapped and cheered happily.

"Mom, you look so beautiful. If you go back like this, Dad will definitely come home every day to look after you."

Third Aunt: "You silly girl, how am I supposed to go to class if I go home like this?"

Feng Shengnan: "Mom, you can dress simply when you're in class, but you still need to have pretty makeup on."

After being persuaded by her daughter, the third aunt finally accepted her changed appearance.

When the sisters-in-law came out after putting on makeup and changing clothes, they were all quite beautiful.

While they may appear glamorous, their designs are actually based on their natural appearance.

So it's not that kind of glamorous feeling, it just makes their temperament unique.

After everyone was dressed up, the first photo was a group photo of Luo Qing and her sisters-in-law, along with her second aunt and third aunt.

Even the photographer couldn't help but praise how charming this group of women was.

"Aunties and sisters, you are all so charming. If you participated in a beauty pageant, you would definitely be among the top few. You are all so beautiful."

Hearing the photographer's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Then they called all the children over to their side and took photos with the children, who were also dressed up in the same design.

Even Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing's two young children were held and photographed together.

This photo, in the photographer's opinion, better showcased the mother's charm.

"I was so moved when I saw this photo, I almost called out 'Mom'."

The eldest sister-in-law spoke up: "We are mothers, we are not young anymore."

Photographer: "Aunties, you are still very young. It's just that you don't usually dress up. After dressing up, you are really very charming."

After the group photo, the next step was to take photos of each family separately.

Another option is to group up with each other for individual photos.

Almost every sister-in-law took a photo with Luo Qing.

It looks like the eldest sister-in-law and Luo Qing are taking a photo together, and they are holding two little ones together, while Feng Nuanyou and Li Xiaogang are standing in front of them.

After taking a series of photos, it's safe to say that each of the sisters-in-law exuded charm.

After taking photos at the photo studio, everyone walked together to the pedestrian street and took photos in the famous Western-style buildings on the pedestrian street.

It naturally became a beautiful sight on the pedestrian street.

At first, being surrounded by a lot of onlookers made the women a little embarrassed.

However, some women in the crowd applauded for them.

Gradually, the women gained confidence, and their charm became even more apparent in photos.

The photo shoot made the sisters-in-law very happy.

It wasn't their first time visiting Shanghai, but Luo Qing's arrangements this time gave them a completely different kind of enjoyment.

Of course, children who have to follow their mothers around all the time can sometimes feel a little tired and bored.

In particular, Feng Shengnan, Chen Jin (the daughter of the second senior brother), and Li Xiaogang (the son of the eldest senior brother) are older children who often have to help take care of the younger children.

Feng Shengnan and Chen Jin are alright, but Li Xiaogang is really starting to lose patience.

Fortunately, before Li Xiao could start plotting to sneak out and play with a few boys, things didn't go smoothly.

Luo Qing guessed that the children might be a little anxious, so she arranged for everyone to sit down and rest at a Western fast food restaurant.

This Western fast food restaurant has only been open for a short time, but it is clearly very popular.

It is especially popular with some children.

Including the children of Feng Zhengming's senior brother, and Feng Nuanyou also likes them quite a bit.

It mainly consists of fried chicken and fries, things the kids don't usually eat.

Luo Qing and the others weren't particularly interested in these things.

Third Sister-in-law felt that "this tastes strange, and it doesn't feel as good as Zhengming's cooking."

The eldest sister-in-law said, "This is Western-style fast food, which is definitely not suitable for our taste. But the kids like it, so it's good for them to eat it occasionally."

Feng Nuanyou suddenly spoke up: "These are things dads can do too."

These words drew everyone's attention to her.

Li Xiaogang asked, "Youyou, do you think your uncle would do these things?"

Feng Nuanyou nodded: "Yes, I can make it. Dad's restaurant has special equipment for baking this bread."

Luo Qing smiled and replied, "There really are. Both of Zhengming's shops, the one on the Western Restaurant Street and the one in the kitchen of the Old House Restaurant, have special ovens for baking bread. They can indeed make these."

Feng Shengnan asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, can my brother do these things?"

Luo Qing: "You'll need to ask your brother about that, see if he's willing to do it for you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Shengnan immediately moved closer to her niece, Feng Nuanyou.

"Youyou, could you help me by talking to your dad and asking him to make it for us, okay?"

Auntie San couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"You silly girl, I only realized today that you're just as cunning as your dad. You were afraid that your brother wouldn't agree if you went to talk to him, and you know that your brother dotes on Youyou, so you asked Youyou to talk to him for you, right?"

When her mother saw through her thoughts, Feng Shengnan smiled and said, "Mom, everyone knows that my brother dotes on his daughter the most."

Third Grandma immediately gave Feng Nuanyou some instructions.

“Little Youyou, don’t listen to your aunt. Your aunt and the others want you to ask your father for things. They want to enjoy your father’s love for you. Don’t agree.”

Feng Shengnan: "Oh my god, why are you like this?"

Seeing her daughter's expression, the third aunt chuckled, "I just can't let your little schemes succeed so easily."

The interaction between the mother and daughter amused the second aunt, Luo Qing, and the sisters-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but sigh, "Daughters are definitely better; they can bicker with their mothers. My son is like a silent gourd; he doesn't talk much at all."

Li Xiaogang: "Mom, you're all women, what am I supposed to say?"

Sister-in-law: "That's why I say you're not a girl. Look at how girls can say whatever they want."

Li Xiaogang: "I won't go out with you next time. I'd rather stay home and work in the kitchen of Huiquanlou with my dad."

Luo Qing: "Sister-in-law, don't say that about Xiaogang. I think Xiaogang is quite sensible. I also heard that Xiaogang works very well in the kitchen of Huiquanlou."

Zhengming also said he would pay Xiaogang a salary as part of his work-study program during the winter break.

Sister-in-law: "Why would we pay him a salary if he's just a kid? He just goes out with his dad to have fun, he doesn't do any work."

At this moment, the second aunt spoke up: "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Since the children have done the work, they should be encouraged. For example, my son worked and studied at Zhengming's old shop with Shengnan during the summer vacation."

Feng Shengnan: Yes, yes, I also worked in my brother's shop.

Third Aunt: "The children should be paid; it's a form of training and encouragement for them."

After such persuasion, the sister-in-law finally agreed.

This made Li Xiaogang burst into a smile.

With Li Xiaogang as an example, the other children naturally wanted to learn from him as well.

Then their mothers told them that if they wanted to learn, they had to be able to endure hardship.

“We’re sending you here to work and study, not to play around. You have to do whatever work we’re assigned to you. If you don’t do it well, you won’t get paid.”

These words, on the contrary, motivated the children, and a group of them clamored to do it.

Even the little girl, Feng Nuanyou, was clamoring to learn it.

Luo Qing pulled her daughter along: "You want to study? Then when you start school, during summer vacation, your father and I will send you back to Jinan. You can go to the old shop with your two great-grandfathers every day and work there."

Auntie laughed when she heard this: "Luo Qing, you're still sending the child back?"

Luo Qing: "She stayed here, and that's why her father was willing to let his daughter not do any work."

This made everyone laugh again.

Everyone knows that Luo Qing was absolutely right.

It's common knowledge that Feng Zhengming dotes on his daughter.

So if Feng Nuanyou were to work part-time while studying in Shanghai, her father would really be reluctant to let her do any work.

Feng Nuanyou didn't mind: "Okay, I'll go back and take care of my great-grandfather."

The little girl's response made everyone stop laughing again.

The great-aunt hugged the little girl and kissed her.

“Our Youyou is so sensible. She knows that after she goes to school, she should go back to take care of her great-grandfather. If your two great-grandfathers hear what you said, they will definitely be very happy.”

Third Aunt: "Dad and Uncle Situ will be overjoyed when they find out."

That's what makes Feng Nuanyou so likable.

The little girl said some things that adults really liked.

These words weren't something she learned from anyone; they were simply what she truly wanted to say.

After finishing their Western-style fast food, everyone continued taking photos and sightseeing in the afternoon.

Later, they went to the Bund to take pictures together.

We also took photos on the yacht, and finally took photos outside, inside, and upstairs of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

We really spent the whole day sightseeing and taking photos.

It was also very hard for everyone.

That evening, Feng Zhengming actually sent a car to pick them up.

Once again, I invited my sisters-in-law, children, second aunt, and third aunt to the old house restaurant.

Around noon, a number of college students and some new customers who had come specifically because of its reputation arrived.

In the evenings, the restaurant's customers are mostly regulars.

Bao Guofeng even brought his wife and children with him.

The old man also brought his two aunts along.

When Feng Nuanyou saw the old man and the two grandmothers, she immediately took the initiative to greet them.

Upon meeting Feng Nuanyou, both the old man and the two grandmothers took a liking to her.

"Little Boss Youyou is here tonight too?"

"Was it specially prepared for us?"

"Is the little boss here to supervise Dad's cooking?"

Feng Nuanyou: "Today I went to take photos with my mom. We took so many photos, and they were all so beautiful."

And there were my great-aunt, my third great-aunt, and many other aunts there too. We were all taking pictures together, along with my little aunt and my older brothers and sisters.

After listening to the little girl recount it in detail, he understood it perfectly.

It amused the old man and his two grandmothers.

They were already familiar with the little girl's speaking rhythm, the kind that made her sound like a little chatterbox.

Hearing the girl's words now made the old man and his two grandmothers even happier.

Luo Qing searched for her daughter for a while and finally found her at the old man's place.

She quickly came over to call her daughter.

"Youyou, what are you doing here? Are you bothering Grandpa and Grandma again?"

Old man: "No, no, we all like it when you talk, Youyou."

Both grandmothers nodded in agreement, indicating their liking.

"Yes, Xiaoyouyou is our source of joy."

"Listening to Xiaoyouyou talk is very interesting."

Then the two grandmothers saw Luo Qing's dressing up.

"Little Luo is wearing makeup today too?"

Luo Qing: "Yes, it's because the families of Youyou's father and his fellow students came to Shanghai for a visit. I was hosting them, so today I took them to get ready and we took a lot of photos together in Shanghai."

After Luo Qing's description, the old man and the two grandmothers finally understood what Feng Nuanyou had just said.

Feng Nuanyou spoke so quickly that the three old people didn't quite understand what she was saying.

Now that he understood, the old man said, "It's only right. Zhengming has always said that his senior brother takes special care of him. When his senior brother's wives come over, you, as the younger sister-in-law, should indeed entertain them."

Luo Qing: "Yes, the sisters-in-law are all very nice. Over the years, the senior brothers have helped Youyou's father run so many shops, while the sisters-in-law have been taking care of the children at home. It's rare that the winter vacation is not over yet, so the sisters-in-law can bring the children over for a visit."

After listening to Luo Qing's account, the old man and the two grandmothers grew to like Feng Zhengming even more.

A person who doesn't forget their roots after becoming successful and still knows how to take care of their seniors' families is truly a person of impeccable character.

The old man felt that what he had done for Feng Zhengming in Shanghai was worthwhile. (End of Chapter)
