From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 173 Uncle Master Arrives

While Feng Zhengming was preparing carefully in the shop, Huang Tao learned a lot about Feng Zhengming from Li Huidong.

After Huang Tao listened to Li Huidong's narration, Feng Zhengming was taken in by Master Yan and worked in the back kitchen of Yanxi Building, until he was accepted by Master Yan as his last apprentice and studied cooking seriously with Master Yan.

As well as Yanxi Tower's poor management and collapse, what Feng Zhengming did in the past few months after leaving Yanxi Tower.

After hearing this, Huang Tao couldn't help but sigh: "What a hard-working yet optimistic and positive child."

Li Huidong nodded: "Yes, uncle, Zhengming, what Master likes most, and what our fellow brothers like the most, is that he is always so positive and optimistic.

No matter what kind of trouble he encounters, he is always able to face it optimistically and turn the crisis into safety through his own efforts. "

Huang Tao asked: "So, your master's craftsmanship is basically complete?"

Li Huidong said: "Yes, Master has almost taken him by his side in the past two years. Even though Zhengming is tall and strong, he is very careful. He will take good care of Master when he goes out with Master."

Huang Tao laughed and said, "No wonder your master likes him."

Li Huidong said: "Master likes him mainly because he is good at observation and serious about studying."

Huang Tao said: "When I was an apprentice, my masters always said that I was not serious."

Li Huidong didn't know what to say when he heard this?

Huang Tao got to know Feng Zhengming and saw that Li Huidong was doing a good job in the cafeteria. He also learned about his senior brother from Li Huidong. He said goodbye to Li Huidong with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Huang Tao asked with a smile: "If Dongzi is free at night, you can go to the restaurant to find me."

Without waiting for Li Huidong to respond, Huang Tao continued: "When the time comes, I will introduce some local gourmets to your fellow apprentices."

Li Huidong thought for a while and said, "Uncle Master, if I am free in the evening, I will definitely go and meet him."

But Huang Tao said: "We agreed, see you there or not."

When Li Huidong heard what his uncle said, he quickly realized that his uncle wanted to help him and his junior brother. The local gourmets mentioned by his uncle probably had some status in the local area.

After watching his uncle leave, Li Huidong also decided to go take a look at it in the evening.

After all, the uncle's visit to Feng Zhengming's restaurant was partly to check his homework.

Li Huidong, the senior brother, is somewhat worried about his junior brother.

Huang Tao left the canteen and returned to his hotel.

As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I saw several old friends already here, obviously waiting for me together.

Seeing Huang Tao, several people quickly gathered around him.

"Old Huang, where have you been?"

"Didn't we agree that we have reserved a place and come to find you?"

"Old Huang, we thought you were gone."

"It's hard for us to wait."

Huang Tao quickly apologized to his old friends: "Sorry, before I came back this time, I asked one of my former nephews about some situations in Quancheng. Although my senior nephew is not in Quancheng, two of my senior apprentices are still in Quancheng. So I went to see them and chatted a little more to waste some time."

Upon hearing this, several old friends quickly guessed where Huang Tao had gone.

"Were you going to the brewery canteen?"

"I also heard that Master Yan's eldest disciple is now contracting the brewery canteen."

"I also went to the canteen to buy steamed buns. Their steamed buns are really delicious."

"It seems that Master Yan also has a young apprentice, who also works with the senior brother in the cafeteria, right?"

Huang Tao laughed: "Hahaha, it seems that you are behind on the news. Do you know who the little boss of the dry rice shop that invites me to eat tonight is? You said that he is better than Jubinyuan in terms of hot food?"

The old friends looked at each other again.

One of them suddenly asked: "Isn't it Master Yan's little apprentice?"

Huang Tao nodded: "Yes, it is my little nephew."

Several people were suddenly a little surprised.

"No wonder, no wonder the food is so good."

"I see. So his master Yan also taught him how to make the meat?"

"No wonder people say that the meat he cooks has the best taste." Huang Tao said: "I met with him in the afternoon, and he promised to cook some good dishes for us tonight."

When the old friends heard this, they all became energetic.

"Hahaha, I knew that when Lao Huang comes back, he will definitely make us eat well."

"Old Huang was right when he made the move."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Let's go, I can't wait."

Huang Tao and his party rushed to Feng's restaurant.

Before I even entered, I saw people already queuing up inside.

"Business is really good."

"His business is especially good at night now."

"The key is that there are people eating and buying meat in the evening, so there are many people."

"Fortunately, I came over in the afternoon and made a reservation."

Huang Tao said: "It's better to reserve a seat. Otherwise, if you go in like this and let me, my young nephew, arrange a seat, I'd be really embarrassed to ask."

The old friends all laughed immediately, and then the group walked into the shop.

Duan Sufen took the initiative to greet them and led them to sit down at the reserved table.

"There are a lot of people, so some of you can order first. You may have to wait for the pork trotters, pork trotters and Sixi meatballs."

Huang Tao smiled and said: "We are not in a hurry."

Just as he was talking, the food from the next table was served.

Smelling the aroma that hit their faces, Huang Tao and the others were all attracted to it.

After just one glance, the old friend next to Huang Tao swallowed his saliva: "Xiang, the fried diced pork in sauce is really good."

Huang Tao also stared at it for a while and praised: "Good craftsmanship, bright and shiny gravy, and the gravy is evenly wrapped and beautiful."

Another old friend couldn't help but whisper: "It looks better than Jubinyuan."

Huang Tao laughed after hearing this: "It's hard to say. The master chef will take action after noon today, and the fried pork cubes with soy sauce will look good."

When the person at the next table heard Huang Tao's words, one of them was a little unhappy.

"If nothing else, just this amount, is it enough to hold two sets in Jubinyuan?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Huang Tao and others became very happy.

Huang Tao smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, this plate is in the Jubin Garden. If the dishes are carefully arranged, I think they can serve three plates."

Hearing Huang Tao say this, his old friend and the guests at the next table were stunned.

But the next moment, everyone knew it and couldn't hold back their laughter.

After laughing, an old friend asked Huang Tao: "Why do you think Jubinyuan provides so little food now?"

Huang Tao said: "It should be the request of the boss. Now that some Western food from abroad has entered the country, some large restaurants will imitate others and have more exquisite presentation. This emphasizes exquisite presentation, and naturally the quantity of dishes should be reduced."

While chatting on this topic, Feng Zhengming ran out of the kitchen.

"Uncle Master, you are here."

When Huang Tao saw Feng Zhengming coming out to greet him, he smiled and said, "Are you not nervous? Just treat us as guests coming to eat. There is no need to do anything special."

Feng Zhengming smiled and asked, "How about I take away the food for you now, Uncle Master?"

Huang Tao nodded: "You make the decision tonight. We won't order. We'll eat whatever you serve."

Feng Zhengming agreed: "Okay, uncle, please wait a moment."

Seeing Feng Zhengming walking smoothly to the kitchen, Huang Tao and several old friends were looking forward to what they would eat tonight.
