From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 321: Kung Fu in every dish (please vote for me)

Feng Zhengming and his third senior brother led people to set up the food stall next to the train station.

The shed was set up, the tables and chairs inside were placed, and the charcoal stove was turned on.

There was smoke floating in the air, and soon people began to come to the food stall.

The first people to come to the food stalls are still some staff from the train station.

Now for many train station employees, Feng Zhengming's stall at noon and evening has become like their canteen at the train station.

It's really because, whether it's noon or night, you can eat well without spending much money at Feng Zhengming's place.

At noon, there are handfuls of meat, lunch boxes and noodles.

In the evening, you can ask Feng Zhengming or Yang Bin to cook a dish for you.

And even if it is freshly fried side dishes, the price is still very reasonable.

Each one showed off their delicious dishes, trying hard to draw customers into their own food stalls.

Of course, because there is a charcoal stove for burning, Feng Zhengming and the others also renovated the food stall shed to maintain good ventilation in the shed.

But because it was Liu Jiasheng who was treating the guests, a few people didn't say anything.

If someone orders lamb chop casserole, Feng Zhengming and his colleagues will immediately light up a small charcoal stove, wait until the lamb chop casserole is ready, and serve the guest together with the casserole.

"Mr. Liu, happy New Year. Come in quickly."

Precisely because Feng Zhengming's food stall not only cooks good food, he is also very kind to others.

There are also some people who don’t live nearby, but have dinner appointments with friends, and will come to the train station specifically.

Some people can't stand the enthusiasm of other food stall owners, so they think it's okay to have a try anyway, so they go to other food stalls.

Liu Jiasheng introduced the people he brought: "This is the number one young chef in our province. I want you to try authentic Shandong cuisine tonight. Do you think it's okay for me to entertain you like this?"

Eating such a lamb chop casserole is really warm and comforting.

Obviously they have some doubts about the taste of such food stall dishes.

Somewhat jealous of Feng Zhengming and the others.

Several people who came with Liu Jiasheng took a look at the situation inside and outside Feng Zhengming's food stall.

Feng Zhengming's very novel lamb chop casserole has also become a very attractive thing.

The key is that Feng Zhengming has a good attitude and will not get impatient just because he only cooks one dish and has various requirements.

He will patiently listen to each guest's various requests and satisfy almost all of them.

Some people who live nearby may also come to eat.

Hearing the sound, Feng Zhengming turned around and saw it was Liu Jiasheng.

Several people looked obviously not expecting much.

In Quancheng, although the New Year is over, the outdoor temperature is still low.

The food stall nearby watched as Feng Zhengming and the others opened soon after their arrival.

Feng Zhengming has also made some improvements to his own food stalls these days.

Usually at this time, not only some passengers leaving the train station come to eat.

There are also some people who come here just for the food stalls of Fengjiagang Restaurant. Naturally, they ignore the enthusiasm of other food stall owners and still go straight to the stall of Fengjiagang Restaurant.

Like lamb chop casserole, because more and more people come to eat.

Only Feng Zhengming and the others had no one to attract customers.

Sure enough, the food stall owners didn't have to wait long before a wave of customers came to the food stall.

Because there are actually several tables of customers sitting in their food stall shed.

Not to mention that Feng Zhengming has a good relationship with the employees at the train station, but now that he comes to work at the food stall every night, the manpower he brings with him is not something that other food stalls can afford.

But this jealousy of other bosses can only be suppressed in the heart.

When they see customers coming, other food stall owners naturally greet them warmly.

He recycled a batch of small iron buckets, then went to the factory of Luo Qing's brother Luo Wenhan and asked them to help cut a hole under the small iron buckets and weld four brackets to the upper edges of the buckets to make simple small charcoal stoves.

It's past eight o'clock, and all the food stall owners look serious. This is when the first wave of customers arrive in the evening.

They all knew that they could not afford to offend Feng Zhengming and the others.

But it seems that it is too late to purchase a small charcoal stove.

Feng Zhengming thought of a simpler way.

"Xiao Feng, your business is really good."

Feng Zhengming and the others were busy tonight when another familiar voice sounded in front of the stall.

Often customers who didn't originally plan to order the lamb chop casserole, when they see someone at the next table ordering such a pot, can't help but want to order one to taste it.

So now, outside Feng Zhengming’s food stall, there will be a row of simple iron barrel charcoal stoves filled with small briquettes.

Naturally, this food stall will gain a reputation and attract more customers.

Liu Jiasheng also saw that several people did not like Feng Zhengming, a food stall.

He smiled and said to Feng Zhengming: "Xiao Feng showed off his skills to some out-of-town guests today."

Feng Zhengming naturally saw that Liu Jiasheng was here to take care of his own business, and at the same time, he also wanted to show off the taste of Shandong cuisine in front of his guests.

Feng Zhengming nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, please go in and take a seat first."

Liu Jiasheng led people into the shed of the food stall.

As soon as they entered, several people saw that it was full of people.

Feng Zhengming's food stall is three sheds connected together, so it can be said that it is quite big inside.

There were about five or six tables in each shed, and they were almost full.

When several people saw this situation, they understood that the business of this food stall was indeed good.

In fact, the Liu family brought them to Feng Zhengming Food Stall.

It was also because these outsiders gave Liu Jiasheng a difficult problem.

Several people felt that going to Quancheng's big restaurants for dinner was a bit too formal, and there were senior chefs in those big restaurants, which did not reflect the average level of the real chefs in Quancheng.

So several people posed a problem to Liu Jiasheng and asked him to take them to a more popular restaurant to taste the taste of ordinary Quancheng.

Liu Jiasheng decisively brought several people to Feng Zhengming's food stall.

Liu Jiasheng introduced him directly on the way here.

"Don't look at people working at food stalls. That's because their own shops are being renovated, so they are temporarily working at the food stalls at the train station. The chef who is in charge is the number one young chef in the province. His cooking skills are absolutely outstanding, and he is also good at cooking. It is very simple, and the food stalls basically serve home-cooked dishes.

Since you want to eat in a small restaurant and try the dishes of our ordinary chefs in Quancheng, today I will let you try the most ordinary home-cooked dishes. "

Liu Jiasheng's introduction made several guests somewhat convinced that he was bragging for others.

Several guests thought, how can there be a young chef who is the number one chef and still works as a food stall?
But I entered the food stall shed and looked at the lively atmosphere inside. This actually made several of Liu Jiasheng's guests feel a sense of fireworks.

Xia Hui led Liu Jiasheng and his guests inside and arranged a relatively spacious table for them.

Liu Jiasheng sat down and said directly to Xia Hui without ordering: "Tell your boss to make a dish according to the characteristics of your food stall."

Xia Hui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Liu."

Seeing Xia Hui turn around and leave.

Only then did Liu Jiasheng's guests speak.

"Mr. Liu, you really surprised us by bringing us to this kind of food stall."

"No, I didn't expect there to be such a food stall next to the train station."

"I've seen several food stalls here, and this one is really different from the others."

"I saw that they all wear chef uniforms at this restaurant, which is quite special. I didn't expect that the people who work at the food stalls also wear chef uniforms, and there are many more people in this restaurant than in the other restaurants."

Liu Jiasheng said: "Hahaha, this shows that his food is good. He is wearing a chef's uniform. That's because he is a serious chef. Didn't I tell you that his boss is the number one young chef in the province."

At this time, Liu Jiasheng said that Feng Zhengming was the number one young chef, which made several guests believe him.

Liu Jiasheng and the others didn't have to wait long before they started serving food to them.

First, a simple charcoal stove modified from a small iron bucket was served, and then they were served lamb chop casserole.

Seeing this casserole on the table, Liu Jiasheng asked curiously: "Is this your new dish?"

Chen Anbang, who served the dish, nodded and replied: "Yes, this lamb chop casserole is a new dish developed by Master Feng. There are lamb chops and radish in the casserole. After eating, you can add cabbage and vermicelli, or you can add hand-rolled noodles. "

After hearing this, Liu Jiasheng and several of his guests couldn't help but feel that this way of eating was a bit novel.

"This is a bit interesting. It has soup, meat, and vegetables. It's really suitable for eating in this weather."

"It's a bit like making a side stove in the South."

"It's really similar."

"Mr. Liu, what you're eating here doesn't look like Shandong cuisine."

Liu Jiasheng said with a smile: "Mutton pot is a specialty of our north. It is also found in our Shandong cuisine. Casserole is not only available to you in the south."

When Liu Jiasheng said it, the guests really couldn't argue.

The dishes that were served next made several guests gradually more speechless.

After the lamb chop casserole was served, the next dishes were served to Liu Jiasheng and the others. The first was Feng Zhengming's braised pork elbow according to his master's recipe, as well as some cold side dishes.

Following closely are some of the more classic dishes in Shandong cuisine, such as stir-fried kidneys, stir-fried belly with coriander, and sweet-scented osmanthus meat.

As soon as these items were served on the table, Liu Jiasheng's guests were speechless.

Whether it is sword skills or fire skills, they are really impeccable.

The flower knife on the waist made several foreign guests look surprised.

Just by seeing the flower knife on the waist, several people already understood that Liu Jiasheng was definitely not bragging when he said that Feng Zhengming was the number one young chef in the province.

The knife skills in front of me are definitely not something that any restaurant chef can achieve.

Except for the more common Shandong cuisine in a few people's impressions.

Feng Zhengming also served some light dishes to several guests.

For example, they were served a grilled cabbage roll and a stir-fried pork loin.

The stir-fried tenderloin shreds were served. The white and tender tenderloin shreds with soup on the plate were like noodles one by one. The thickness was very uniform, which also amazed several guests.

"Wow, the ridge wire here can be cut so well?"

"This knife skill is really amazing."

"It's really like noodles one by one, and the thickness of each tenderloin is almost the same."

"It's also very tender when you eat it. I didn't expect such a dish to exist in Shandong cuisine."

When Liu Jiasheng saw several people praising him, a look of pride appeared on his face.

With such a table of dishes, several people from other places really enjoyed eating.

The taste of each dish can be said to be moderately salty.

The key is that there are strong dishes and light dishes, and the staggered combinations are also very good.

It can be said that these dishes really showcase Feng Zhengming's knife skills and fire skills.

This allowed Liu Jiasheng and his guests to truly experience the richness of Shandong cuisine.

After having such a meal, several foreign guests really felt that the food was very real and comfortable.

"This is my first meal here, and it feels so comfortable."

"That's right. We went to those big restaurants before, and what we served were nine-turn large intestine, seared sea cucumbers with green onions, etc. It was really quite satisfying."

"The table arranged by Mr. Liu today does not have those things, but it actually tastes more delicious."

“The key is that the chefs here have a good grasp of saltiness and taste. They don’t feel salty or oily when eating it. The key is that they don’t taste tasteless.”

"It seems that Mr. Liu didn't lie to us. I now believe that this food stall owner is the number one young chef in your province."

Liu Jiasheng said with a proud smile: "I didn't lie to you. I have always been very sincere. The arrangement tonight is completely according to your request. You said you don't want to eat in a big restaurant and want to try some home-cooked food. I will I’ve arranged it for you, now you know how good our Shandong cuisine chefs are.”

When Liu Jiasheng said this, several of his guests also laughed.

Several people had to admit that Liu Jiasheng's arrangements tonight were indeed great.

In the end, several people finished their wine, used the soup from the lamb chop casserole, and made some hand-made noodles. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal in the end.

Like every table of guests at Feng Zhengming's food stall, Liu Jiasheng's group also ate up all the dishes.

Liu Jiasheng did not take the opportunity to discuss business with a few people. After eating, he arranged for someone to take the few people back to the hotel where they were staying.

After sending several people away, Liu Jiasheng came back to ask Feng Zhengming to pay.

"Yong Gang and the others have come back. They must be looking for you, right? Leave the decoration of your shop to them. If you are dissatisfied with anything, tell them directly. If they don't do a good job, tell me. I Come take care of them."

Feng Zhengming pushed away the money Liu Jiasheng wanted to pay and said, "Uncle Liu, thank you very much. I'll treat you to the meal tonight."

But Liu Jiasheng said: "How can that be done? Let me tell you, relationships are relationships and business is business. Since we come to eat at your place, then we should pay."

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, Liu Jiasheng asked: "Then can you not pay us for the renovation?"

After hearing what Liu Jiasheng said, Feng Zhengming could only accept the meal money.

"Okay, take the money."

Liu Jiasheng smiled and patted Feng Zhengming: "Your skills are really getting better and better. Your lamb chop casserole is very good, but the weather is slowly getting warmer, so it won't take long for that pot to be made."

Feng Zhengming responded with a confident smile: "It doesn't matter, the weather is getting warmer, we have other options."

Hearing this and seeing the confident smile on Feng Zhengming's face, Liu Jiasheng laughed in appreciation.
