Chapter 313: Master and Senior Brother come (please vote for the third update)

Seeing the bag that Xia Hui put down, Feng Zhengming realized that Xia Hui really brought a lot of things in big and small bags this time.

"You have so many things, did you move them all here?"

Xia Hui quickly said: "No, many of the things here are specialties from my hometown. Before I came back, my grandparents and my mother bought them specially for me."

Hearing what Xia Hui said, Grandpa Feng thought for a moment and said, "You're not carrying your smoked tofu back in this bag, are you?"

Xia Hui immediately said: "Grandpa, do you also know about the smoked tofu we have over there?"

Xia Hui opened the bag and said, "I brought back smoked tofu. In addition to smoked tofu, there are also our jujubes, which are all carefully selected and the best, and our own Kongfu pastries. I I also brought it back, I want you and my uncle to try it together, grandpa."

Seeing Xia Hui open the bag, there were various things inside.

Feng Shengnan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, there are so many things. Sister Xia Hui, did you carry so much on your back?"

Xia Hui laughed and said, "Sister, I have strength. I tell you, if you want to learn cooking, you must have strength."

Feng Zhengming smiled and replied: "It's not the first time I've been selling meat at the train station. I'm still confident in my business, so I prepared three big pots of meat."

Xia Hui's shout naturally attracted all the passengers entering and exiting the station in the square in front of the station.

After a pause, Mr. Yan continued: "I have been thinking before that his dry rice shop will be renovated soon. The renovation will take time. How will he continue to run his business during the renovation time? I have told Lianxing , simply let Zhengming take the people to the restaurant to help for a while.

Then Master Yan led his eldest apprentice to Feng Zhengming's cart.

Master Yan said: "This is why your canteen will encounter some trouble."

"The main reason is that I'm worried that Master will be angry and your health will be bad."

Li Huidong stared at the master, and he finally said: "I understand."

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, Xia Hui walked directly to the stall and shouted to the square in front of the station.

Feng Zhengming looked at Xia Hui, who was shouting, and was a little bit dumbfounded.

Grandpa Feng added: "If you do business often, you can probably know how much you can sell. You have to have a good idea, otherwise how can you do a good job in business?"

Master Yan said: "Okay, I'm not angry. It makes me happy to see him doing business well at the train station."

Li Huidong felt a little embarrassed when his master said this.

Hearing Master's voice, Feng Zhengming poked his head out of the cart.

Master Yan, accompanied by his senior brother, actually came to the train station.

"You senior brothers have such a good relationship. In the past, whenever he made a mistake in Yanxi Tower, you, the senior brother, would always make excuses for him. Today, it's you who make excuses for him again."

Master Yan probably knows what the eldest apprentice wants to say?
He did not force his eldest disciple to speak out, but taught him: "Sometimes, you should let go of your frame."

After saying this, Master Yan looked at his eldest apprentice and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to do it if I ask you to set up a stall, right?"

After Xia Hui shouted, there were indeed more people lining up.

Almost as soon as he saw a group of people queuing up next to the train station, Master Yan immediately judged that this was Feng Zhengming’s meat stall.

Grandpa Feng said: "How can you praise me in person? Just praise me behind your back."

Grandpa Feng looked at it and said with a smile: "I quite like Xiaoxia's character. He is carefree, just like a boy, and he is also a very down-to-earth child."

Feng Zhengming said helplessly: "Fortunately, we prepared a lot of meat today, otherwise there would not be enough to sell with so many people queuing up."

Hearing what Master said, Li Huidong suddenly hesitated to speak.

Master Yan pretended to be angry and said, "You don't go to the banquet and come here to do your own business. Can't I come over and have a look?"

There were already a lot of people queuing up, but Xia Hui actually went to shout. Didn't this make the queue even more crowded?

"Everyone, come and take a look. The pork from Fengjiagang Restaurant is sold at the train station. Don't miss it if you pass by. You must eat the pork when you come to Quancheng. Come and try the pork from Fengjiagang Restaurant." Try it."

"You brat, you're just doing business. Today you just gave gifts and didn't show up."

Feng Zhengming took a look and said, "Okay, don't open it. Put everything away and take it out when you get back. Such heavy things, you are just here waiting for us to sell out. Come back with us." , I used a car to pull it back, saving you the trouble of carrying such a heavy thing back."

Zhang Hongwei asked strangely: "Brother, how did you know the business would be so good?"

The master's words were very accurate. Li Huidong was really embarrassed. He was not happy to ask him to come to the train station like Feng Zhengming and use a push cart to sell meat and lunch boxes.

Li Huidong was worried that his master would be angry, so he quickly tried to persuade him.

Xia Hui was praised by Feng Shengnan, and she was so beautiful that her nose was filled with snot.

Feng Shengnan praised: "Sister is so amazing."

While Feng Zhengming was busy, Xia Hui came back to help greet the guests after shouting for a while.

Before Master Yan could speak, Mr. Feng saw him first.

Xia Hui immediately agreed: "Listen to Uncle Master, then I will help you shout."

"Junior brother, he is like this. You know, when he does things, he always only thinks about doing things and does not think too much about human relations. Maybe he has been to the restaurant for trial opening. Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and the business has officially resumed. On days like this, I come to the train station to practice stalling, so don’t be angry.”

"Lao Yan, why are you here?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Master, you can keep these words until she comes back to praise her."

I was wondering, if he already runs a dry rice shop, would he be embarrassed and continue to set up a street stall?
Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary. Feng Zhengming has never been the kind of person who can't lose face. As long as it is something he wants to do, he can do it without losing face. "

After Master Yan heard his eldest apprentice's excuse for his younger apprentice, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Master? Senior brother? It's not that I don't want to go, I really can't get away. Isn't the shop going to be renovated soon? I just thought that the shop would not open at all. I came to the train station to practice stalling, and the shop Let’s tidy it up over there, and when the construction workers come back during the Chinese New Year, we’ll start decorating it directly.”

Master Yan still pretended to be angry and said: "Don't play tricks on me. When will you come to set up the stall? If you insist on choosing today, do you not like Master's restaurant?"

Feng Zhengming asked Xia Hui to come over, and together with Zhang Hongwei, he continued to serve meat and food to the customers in line.

He wiped his hands and walked to the master.

"How can I? Master's restaurant will definitely become the most famous private restaurant in Quancheng. I think that during the trial opening, I tasted all the dishes and gave my elder brother all the opinions I could give. It will definitely not officially open today. If there are fewer people, I won’t cause trouble to Master and Big Brother, so that more customers can taste Big Brother’s craftsmanship.”

Master Yan laughed when he was told: "You brat, aren't you worried that something will happen to your elder brother?"

Feng Zhengming said: "Brother's craftsmanship will not go wrong, I believe in him."

Master Yan then looked at Mr. Feng: "Then you let grandpa set up a stall with you like this?" This time, before Feng Zhengming could say anything, the old man said: "Hahaha, I quite like this, setting up a stall with Zhengming. It feels like going back to when I was young and setting up a stall.”

Li Huidong came out to help and said, "Uncle, you should go there with your family. Master has arrangements."

Mr. Feng smiled and waved his hand: "We don't have to be so polite, don't you agree, Lao Yan?"

Master Yan could only say: "Yes, now I even doubt whether you are really the same grandfather and grandson, with similar temperaments."

When Mr. Feng heard this, he said happily: "That's right, they are our grandfather and grandson."

Master Yan was said to be a little speechless.

He turned to look at the people in line.

"Business is really good, no wonder you don't want to go to the banquet and be busy making money."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, Master, you have also seen that the business here at the train station is really good, so you really don't have to worry about me. If there is not a super happy family here, I really want to open a business here. branch.”

Chef Yan said: "It's not cost-effective to open a branch here. It's good for you to push a cart and set up a stall like this."

Feng Zhengming said: "It's just for the time being. When the shop is renovated, we will continue to operate there to create a gap with other shops that only do meat."

Master Yan asked: "Has Zhao Chaoxing been here?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "I've been here before and even ate a piece of my meat."

Master Yan said: "Zhao Chaoxing is also very hardworking. He can research the unique taste of his own pork. If you have some skills, you are right not to choose to compete with him for the market by just making pork."

Feng Zhengming grinned and said, "We can't bully others."

Then Feng Zhengming asked: "How is the business over there, brother? We opened today, are there a lot of customers?"

Li Huidong replied: "Business is very good. Thanks to Zhengming's publicity before, everyone knows that it officially opens on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so people have made reservations in advance. It is basically full at noon, and there are still some people queuing up."

Feng Zhengming gave an idea: "You can tell your elder brother that if there are a lot of people queuing up, you can make some number plates and give them to the customers in line. Customers holding the number plates can go shopping around. Go back in a while and continue queuing with your number plate.”

After hearing this, Li Huidong immediately said: "This is a good idea."

Master Yan stared at Feng Zhengming and said, "I know you have a lot of ideas. I really should have come to see you today."

Feng Zhengming was a little dumbfounded and asked: "Isn't there really a problem because of queuing?"

Li Huidong looked at Master, and then said: "There was a little friction, but it has been resolved."

Feng Zhengming had no choice but to say: "I really didn't know there would be a problem. If I had known it, I should have gone and had a look."

Master Yan said: "It doesn't matter, it's okay if you don't go. Since your eldest brother runs the restaurant, he should try to deal with any problems he encounters. Otherwise, can he always count on you to help him in the future?" "

Mr. Feng said: "Yes, after some things have been experienced, it would be better to find a solution yourself."

Seeing that his master was indeed not angry, Feng Zhengming relaxed.

"Business is okay today. I feel like the train station is my home court."

These words made Master, Senior Brother and Grandpa all amused.

Senior Brother Li Huidong said: "Before I came here, Master told me that I wouldn't be willing to set up a stall here at the train station if it were me who wouldn't be embarrassed like you."

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, Li Huidong directly admitted this.

"Master is right. I really can't shame myself for setting up a stall in a public place like a train station."

Feng Zhengming said: "My senior brother is better at cooking, and he doesn't use it to set up a street stall."

Li Huidong immediately said: "Don't praise me here. I know my abilities well. When it comes to those basic cooking techniques, I will definitely not convince anyone, but when it comes to business abilities, I am definitely not as good as you."

After hearing this, Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "That's good. From now on, my senior brother will follow me. If I open a big restaurant, I will let my senior brother be the chef."

Li Huidong also laughed and agreed: "Okay, we have agreed. If you want to open a big restaurant, you must leave me a chef position. I will be your chef when the time comes."

Feng Zhengming was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's a deal."

Master Yan looked at the agreement between the two apprentices, and he was really looking forward to the future cooperation between the two apprentices.

Master and senior brother did not stay with Feng Zhengming for long.

Seeing that Feng Zhengming's business was really good, Master and Senior Brother learned that Feng Zhengming was coming to work at the food stall in the evening.

The master did not ask Feng Zhengming to go to Yan's Restaurant in the evening.

Before leaving, Master Yan said: "Work hard and remember to show off your skills. Even if you are a food stall on the street, you can't cook the food badly for me."

Feng Zhengming nodded seriously and agreed: "I must show my true skills and cook the dishes well."

Watching Master and Senior Brother leave together.

Feng Zhengming didn't say anything more and continued to attract customers by himself, selling handfuls of meat and lunch boxes one by one.

Master Yan returned to Yan's Restaurant accompanied by his eldest apprentice.

There are many customers in the restaurant, almost every table is occupied, and some people are waiting in line.

Master Yan asked people to bring out stools so that waiting customers could have a place to sit.

According to the ideas given by Feng Zhengming, a batch of number plates were made and distributed to customers.

They even asked the chef to arrange to make some snacks for customers waiting in line to eat first.

After such adjustments, the mood of the customers queuing up naturally became much better. Many people whispered that it was very comfortable for Master Yan to entertain the customers queuing up like this.

After arranging the queue of customers, Master Yan took his eldest apprentice into the back kitchen and stared at the cooking in the back kitchen carefully.

Yan Jianxing soon discovered that after his father came back from a trip to find Feng Zhengming, he suddenly became strict with the chef.

Yan Jianxing took the opportunity to ask his senior brother about the situation.

In private, Li Huidong briefly recounted what he had experienced when he accompanied Master to the train station.

After hearing this, Yan Jianxing immediately understood his father's strict intentions.

This is to set an example for the eldest son so that all aspects of the Yan family restaurant can be improved.
