From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 171 An Uncle

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing followed Zhang Lei and Yang Peng to the cafeteria.

I originally thought that Senior Brother's cafeteria would encounter some trouble again?

After entering the door, Senior Brother Li Huidong came out quickly, with a figure following behind Li Huidong.

Li Huidong smiled and said to Feng Zhengming: "Zhengming, come here quickly and pay homage to your uncle."

Naturally, Feng Zhengming hurried forward and greeted the other party respectfully.

"Hello, uncle."

The person following Li Huidong looked Feng Zhengming up and down, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. He is indeed Senior Brother Yan's disciple. He is very strong."

Then the other party said: "I heard about your reputation just after I came back. Some of my old friends invited me to Jubinyuan for dinner at noon. Everyone there said that your craftsmanship is better than Jubinyuan."

The uncles of Feng Zhengming and Li Huidong are named "Huang Tao".

I studied cooking in the back kitchen of Yanxi Building with Feng Zhengming and his master.

However, after leaving the army, Huang Tao did not stay in Yanxi Tower, but chose to work elsewhere.

Later, he returned to Quancheng, and on the recommendation of Feng Zhengming and his master, he entered the vocational school in Quancheng and worked as a teacher for a period of time.

Huang Tao may not be as good as Feng Zhengming and his masters in cooking skills, and even now his skills are not as good as Feng Zhengming and Li Huidong.

But he is very good at summarizing theories, and he is a standard foodie.

He taught in a vocational school for a period of time, during which time some of his articles on food discussions were published.

After winning the award, Huang Tao received an invitation from a southern magazine to do a food column.

So Huang Tao resigned from the vocational school again and chose to work for a magazine in the south.

It is also because Huang Tao likes to taste all kinds of delicious food.

When he was working in Quancheng, he would often go to various restaurants with his friends to eat.

So this time when he came back from other places, his old friends in Quancheng welcomed him by inviting him to have a meal at Jubinyuan.

Huang Tao went on to say, "My old friends who are fair-weather friends originally told me that they wanted to invite me to your Feng Family Rice Shop for lunch, but I heard that your rice shop doesn't serve stir-fry dishes at noon, so we went there." Jubinyuan, but Jubinyuan overturned at noon, hahaha...

When I came to chat with your senior brother, I found out that the great little chef in the Feng family restaurant was actually the apprentice of senior brother Yan. "

Feng Zhengming was a little embarrassed and said: "Uncle, please don't listen to their nonsense. My current craftsmanship is not comparable to that of the masters at Jubinyuan."

Li Huidong couldn't help but laugh: "This is not like you. When we were in Yanxi Tower, you and our senior brothers were not so polite."

Feng Zhengming was exposed by his senior brother and felt even more embarrassed: "That is not an internal competition among our senior brothers."

Huang Tao said: "The apprentices that Senior Brother Yan accepted have always had a good relationship with each other. I didn't expect that you, the last young apprentice that Senior Brother accepted, would have such a good relationship with the Senior Brothers despite being quite different in age."

Feng Zhengming said: "It's all my senior brothers who let me go and take good care of me."

Huang Tao said: "Before I came back this time, I went to meet your fourth senior brother. He is also doing well in the south."

Feng Zhengming immediately said: "It's been a long time since I last saw Fourth Senior Brother. I wonder if he will come back to see Master during the Chinese New Year?"

Huang Tao said: "I will definitely come back to see it. He told me that he misses your master and you brothers. He also said that he will compete with you to see who cooks the best. Senior brother likes it the most."

Li Huidong immediately smiled and said: "I'm afraid this time, he will be outclassed by his junior brother." Huang Tao looked at Feng Zhengming again: "It seems that Zhengming's craftsmanship is indeed great."

Before Feng Zhengming could be humble, Li Huidong said, "Uncle, you will know when you go to his shop to eat at night."

Huang Tao nodded: "Yes, I really want to go to Zhengming's restaurant to eat tonight. My "old friends" are also looking forward to this meal in the evening. They also said that they need to book a table in advance. It seems that there is no need."

Feng Zhengming said: "Master, if you go at night, I will definitely make arrangements for you. However, my shop is not big, with only ten tables, and the environment cannot be compared with Jubinyuan."

Huang Tao suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, the food is delicious, the environment is not important."

Li Huidong immediately winked at Feng Zhengming: "You have to behave well tonight and don't show shyness in front of your uncle. Once you're done, let your uncle help you promote it."

Feng Zhengming saw his senior brother winking at him and probably understood what his senior brother meant.

Since Uncle Huang Tao is the editor of the magazine, asking him to help with publicity and promotion will definitely make the Feng Family Restaurant even more famous.

Feng Zhengming immediately clasped his fists to his uncle and said, "I'm asking my uncle for advice tonight. If he's satisfied with his meal, I hope he can help with publicity."

Huang Tao saw that Feng Zhengming was so serious, and then turned to look at Li Huidong.

He quickly understood that this was a matter of discussion between the two senior fellow apprentices.

"Hahaha, you two brothers and sisters are waiting for me here?"

Huang Tao didn't feel angry at all, but instead smiled and agreed: "Okay, let's try Zhengming's cooking tonight, it's really good. I will definitely help promote it when I go back, so that everyone who comes to Quancheng in the future will go to Fengjiagang Restaurant to eat our Quancheng specialty meat. , I also want to try Zhengming’s craftsmanship and understand our Qilu flavor.”

Li Huidong said: "Okay, my uncle can still speak, so I really need to ask my uncle to help promote it."

Huang Tao said: "Don't be in a hurry to ask me. First, I want to see Zhengming's craftsmanship at night."

Li Huidong immediately said to Feng Zhengming: "Why are you still standing there? Go back and get ready, or I will ask Zhang Lei and Yang Peng to attack you. I will try my best to delay my uncle and buy you time."

The senior brother's half-joking words completely amused Feng Zhengming.

"Brother, don't worry. I'm confident in my craftsmanship. I'm waiting for my uncle to give me advice tonight."

Huang Tao also laughed: "I'm just waiting to eat."

After saying goodbye to their uncle and senior brother, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing hurried back to the shop together.

Back at the shop, Feng Zhengming packed up his things and immediately began to prepare for the evening.

The senior brother specially asked two apprentices to stop him, indicating that the senior brother wanted to help Feng Zhengming and borrowed the help of his uncle's pen to once again promote Feng Zhengming's shop and craftsmanship.

The eldest brother has made such arrangements, so Feng Zhengming cannot disgrace his master, let alone live up to the affection of the eldest brother.

So back at the shop, Feng Zhengming prepared it carefully in the kitchen.

Seeing him look so serious makes everyone in the family and shop a little strange?

Luo Qing told everyone what happened.

After hearing this, Feng Zonggu said: "In this case, let's not disturb Zhengming in the afternoon and let him prepare for the evening. We will all cooperate well in the evening."

Everyone in the shop became serious, somewhat looking forward to and nervous about tonight's business.
