From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 141 Regular customers ask for help (second update, please subscribe)
  Although there was a lot of shouting around Feng Zhengming yesterday, not many people came to buy his box lunch.

But the aroma of the meat attracts more passers-by.

Such a lunch cart placed in front of the shop is very eye-catching.

Coupled with the constant smell of meat, it seems that there is an invisible hand, drawing passers-by closer.

After listening to Feng Zhengming's introduction, many people bought one.

Everyone lined up and stepped forward to buy one by one.

When it was a brother's turn, it was obviously not the first time he bought it. He must have bought it at the train station before.

The eldest brother patted down a dollar and said, "Here is a piece of meat and a piece of rice. Put the meat on the rice and add a spoonful of soup to me."

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he smiled and said while serving rice: "Brother knows how to eat. It seems that this is not the first time I bought it. He must have eaten handfuls of my meat before."

The eldest brother said: "I have eaten it several times. If I get greedy, I will bike to the South Station to find you."

Feng Zhengming put the rice on the plate, took out a piece of meat from the pot and put it on the rice, and then poured a ladle of soup on it.

"Thank you for your frequent visits, brother. Here you go."

The eldest brother took it and said with a grin: "If you sell it here every day, I will come here to eat it every day and save myself from running to the south station."

Feng Zhengming said: "Brother, I welcome you to come and eat often. The shop behind is mine. It will be renovated soon and I will open a dry rice shop here."

After listening to Feng Zhengming's introduction, the eldest brother said with satisfaction: "Okay, when you open the business, we will come here to eat every day."

Feng Zhengming didn't expect that he would sell dozens of copies in just one hour at the door of the shop.

At eleven o'clock, Feng Zhengming didn't ask the sister next door if she wanted more yesterday. He just covered the pot and everything, packed it up, and left on his tricycle.

After watching Feng Zhengming leave, the young decoration worker approached Liu Yonggang.

"Brother, those who were yelling fiercely yesterday didn't seem to come to buy today. The eldest sister next door didn't even come out today."

Liu Yonggang smiled and said: "So, some people in the city are the most naughty. Fortunately, Master Xiao Feng didn't listen to them and brought them lunch boxes. He just drove the stall over. Otherwise, if he brought them lunch boxes, they wouldn't want them. Wasted.”

The young worker nodded: "That's right, city people are really naughty, that's intentional."

Liu Yonggang said: "We can't generalize. Don't you think Master Xiao Feng is very honest? The lunch boxes he came to give us today were packed in advance, and didn't you notice that the dishes we eat are different from what he sells?"

The young worker asked doubtfully: "Is it different?"

Liu Yonggang tapped the other person lightly with his chopsticks: "You know how to eat."

The young worker said with a smile: "Master Feng's craftsmanship is really good. I think the dishes he makes are not only better than those at home, but also better than the several box lunches and restaurants we have eaten before."

Liu Yonggang said: "How about I go to the village to make a banquet for Uncle Jiasheng's family."

After speaking, Liu Yonggang quickly ate the food in the lunch box, not even willing to throw away a grain of rice.

After eating, let everyone take a rest. Liu Yong just urged everyone to work.

The business of setting up a stall in front of the shop was good, so Feng Zhengming began to set up a stall for an hour at noon every day.

Sell ​​as many copies as you can. Feng Zhengming doesn't care if he doesn't sell a few copies.

Anyway, he comes over every day at noon and sets out for an hour.

When the time came, he packed up his things and rushed to the train station.

Moreover, when Feng Zhengming came out of Grandpa Feng's house, he went to the shop first and then to the train station, so it happened to be on his way.

It's been like this for a few days, but it's not like there are many people there every day.

Sometimes it attracts a crowd.

Sometimes it stays on display for an hour and not many people buy it.

However, after a few days of doing this, Feng Zhengming also attracted a few repeat customers.

For example, the big brother who only wants a handful of meat and rice with broth comes here almost every day.

And when my eldest brother comes later, he always brings his own lunch box. The eldest brother didn’t talk nonsense when he came to the stall. He paid a dollar and handed his lunch box to Feng Zhengming.

A piece of meat, a portion of rice, and a spoonful of soup mixed with rice.

For his elder brother who came almost every day, Feng Zhengming felt that eating only handfuls of meat was too monotonous, so he suggested that he order other dishes.

"Brother, why don't you order something else? You just eat meat and rice with broth every day. It's too monotonous to eat like this."

The eldest brother immediately refused: "No, this is good."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Brother, I don't want your money today, I will give you some food to eat."

In the end, he was still rejected by the eldest brother: "It's not a matter of money. I just want this bite of meat. In the past, it was not easy to eat a meal of meat. Now, I can't eat enough when I see this meat."

After hearing what his elder brother said, Feng Zhengming took out a piece of tofu from the soup base and added it to the lunch box.

"Then give me a piece of tofu for my brother. This tofu absorbs enough soup and is better for rice."

Seeing Feng Zhengming add a piece of tofu for himself, the eldest brother immediately prepared to take out a dime.

Feng Zhengming quickly stopped him: "Brother, no, I'll give this piece of tofu to you. Thank you for taking care of my business every day."

Seeing Feng Zhengming's sincerity, the eldest brother gave up on paying.

He took the lunch box and said, "Thank you."

Feng Zhengming said: "You're welcome."

After closing the lid of the lunch box, the elder brother did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked inside the shop and asked, "How long will it take for your shop to open?"

Feng Zhengming looked inside and said, "It should be soon."

He turned around and looked at his eldest brother and said, "When it opens, I welcome you to come and visit me more. I have a stove inside, and you can also make some stir-fries."

The eldest brother was a little curious when he heard this: "Are you still planning to cook in the shop?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, mainly meat, and some stir-fry on the side."

The eldest brother fell silent and stood by the side without leaving in a hurry. Instead, he waited for Feng Zhengming to pack the lunch boxes that several people wanted to buy.

After several people had left and there was no one in front of the stall, the eldest brother stepped forward again and asked: "Brother, my surname is Chen, and I work at the No. [-] Machinery Factory."

As he spoke, he took out his work ID card and showed it to Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming glanced at the work permit, Chen Anguo.

But Feng Zhengming is a little strange?
  "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Anguo said: "That's right. I see that your shop is not small. After you open it, you will definitely not be able to do it by yourself. You still have to cook in the shop, and that person will be too busy."

Feng Zhengming probably guessed what the other party meant, but did not interrupt him.

Chen Anguo said: "I have a younger brother in my hometown who just came to join me from the countryside and wanted me to help him find a job. I originally wanted to see if the factory could arrange a temporary worker for him, but temporary workers are not permanent after all. You can't learn anything from this plan.

I was wondering if I could let him come to your place and learn a craft from you. "

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, Chen Anguo added, "Just give him an apprentice's salary. I will take care of his food and accommodation."

After saying that, Chen Anguo looked at Feng Zhengming and seemed to feel that there was something wrong with this.

He then changed his tune: "Forget it, look at me. I'll buy you several handfuls of meat, and I'll arrange for my younger brother to be your apprentice."

Then Chen Anguo turned his bicycle around and prepared to ride away.

At this time, Feng Zhengming called out to the other party: "Brother Chen, please wait a moment. It will take some time for my shop to be renovated. If you want your brother to do it, you can wait until I finish the renovation and let him try it out."

Chen Anguo originally had no hope, but when he heard what Feng Zhengming said, he was stunned at first.

Then he turned to look at Feng Zhengming and said, "Okay, okay, thank you."
