From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 349: The chef that everyone can admire (please vote for me)
What most people like most about Feng Zhengming’s food stalls is still the meat.

Whether it is Zhu Xu, Duan Jinsheng, Shi Yongjin, or other young chefs, they all feel that Feng Zhengming makes delicious pork.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Zhu Xu brought a wine glass to Feng Zhengming and toasted him with a glass of wine.

"Chef, I really admire you. I talked to the master about your pork belly. The master told me that your pork belly is one of a kind. Looking at the entire Quan City, even the whole province, there should be no one who can make it." A handful of meat can rival yours.

Master told me that even if I could get the recipe for your meat, the taste might not be as good as yours. "

Feng Zhengming looked at Zhu Xu, picked up the wine glass and touched Zhu Xu again.

After drinking the small glass of wine, Feng Zhengming said: "We are all chefs. We should all understand that the taste of the same dish made by different people under different conditions will always be different. Many times, even if the master has taught me The whole process may be different from what we did.”

"Yes, that's it. I really couldn't figure it out before and was very distressed." Zhu Xu agreed with what Feng Zhengming said.

When other young chefs heard Feng Zhengming and Zhu Xu talking to this point, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Feng Zhengming did not shy away and said directly in front of everyone: "The reason is very simple, because each of us has different proficiency. How many years have the masters worked? How long have we been working in the kitchen? There are many subtleties in the heat. The difference will lead to differences in the taste of the dishes.

"Do you know why I lead people to do food stalls at the train station?"

He himself stayed at the food stall for a while.

After hearing this, the young chefs were stunned for a moment.

"I understand, the food stalls on the street are more efficient at cooking, and the dishes ordered at each table are pretty much the same. If you keep practicing, your proficiency will naturally become higher and higher, and you will be able to better master the spoon skills. ”

The young chef suddenly understood why Feng Zhengming could become their chef.

Yang Bin laughed and said: "Hahaha, I'm afraid only you can say that. Among you young chefs, if you are not the top pick, I am afraid no one can convince them, and you can become their chef and command and dispatch them." ”

The third senior brother's words made Feng Zhengming amused.

The words of Zhu Xu and Duan Jinsheng really enlightened all the young chefs at once.

Even before Zhu Xu and Duan Jinsheng pointed it out today, many young chefs may have always felt that they only need to follow the master in the kitchen and learn the master's crafts seriously. It has nothing to do with them whether the customers find it delicious.

But if the customers don’t think the food is delicious, then what’s the use of it, no matter how beautiful it is?
This night, Feng Zhengming took the young chefs through the food stall for a meal.

After Yang Bin finished his work, he sat down and chatted with Feng Zhengming.

The facts are almost the same as what the third senior brother said.

Watching the third senior brother and others busy, the third senior brother takes every dish seriously.

This is something that most chefs who only work in the kitchen every day cannot match.

Feng Zhengming was also very inspired and determined to make a name for himself this time, so that the three senior brothers and everyone in the dry rice shop could make more money with him.

Yang Bin smiled and said: "It's easy to see that they are all young people. They must not obey anyone. The third brother was also young. When I was in the back kitchen of Yanxi Tower, I challenged the senior brother."

Yang Bin said with a smile: "You are really right. During this time, you are the chef of the catering department working in the province's reception, and I am the chef of Feng Jiagan Restaurant, so everything in Feng Jiagan Restaurant has to be done." listen to me."

In Yang Bin's words: "You are someone's chef now, so don't meddle in the food stall I'm in charge of."

"How is it? It seems that you have adapted to the job of chef?"

Through direct contact with different customers, Feng Zhengming can obtain first-hand feedback and make timely adjustments based on customer feedback.

Because Feng Zhengming can have more direct contact with customers.

They are all young chefs, and they have just participated in the provincial cooking exchange competition.

The young chefs stretched their ears one by one, and even some of the customers who were eating were curious and leaned closer to listen.

So if a young chef is replaced as the head chef, others will definitely not be convinced.

There are winners and losers in the competition, and even if the ranking is not as good as the other's, the young chefs are not convinced by each other.

Some young chefs think this is nothing?
Because I have to practice constantly in the kitchen of restaurants and hotels every day.

When Zhu Xu said this, the other young chefs quickly figured out the key.

So don’t you think there is any difference between practicing in the street at a food stall and practicing in the kitchen?
But after a while of silence, Zhu Xu finally figured it out.

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Because at the food stall, although there are many customers coming and going every day, the dishes ordered by the customers are actually very similar. In this way, we can go back and forth every day to continuously hone our spoon skills."

Although Feng Zhengming stayed at the food stall, Yang Bin did not let him interfere.

He thought of another benefit of cooking at a food stall.

"Hahaha, third brother, do you want to occupy the magpie's nest?"

"Oh? Did the third brother see it?" Feng Zhengming was a little surprised by the comment given by the third brother.

After the third senior brother said this, Feng Zhengming could only give up intervening.

Because he was drunk, Feng Zhengming also talked a bit too much, so he simply expressed his thoughts at once.

Duan Jinsheng now looked at the customers at other tables in the food stall.

It can also be explained that Feng Zhengming can play more tricks in seasoning and can use seasonings that are not from Shandong Province to create a more delicious taste.

"In addition to what Lao Zhu said, there is another advantage of being in a food stall. You can face customers directly. If there is something bad about what the customer eats, you can directly hear what the customer says and get feedback from the customer in a timely manner, so you can make adjustments. , to avoid similar mistakes when cooking later.”

This is to let everyone understand, what is the key point to truly improve your cooking skills?
After the dinner party ended in the evening, Feng Zhengming arranged for everyone to go back to the hotel to rest.

Feng Zhengming nodded: "It's no different from me working at a restaurant or a food stall."

The solution is very simple, that is, watch more, learn more, and practice more. The key is to practice more. "

It must be difficult to command and control a group of people who are not convinced by you.

But among the young chefs is Feng Zhengming.

When everyone got together at the beginning, some people were secretly dissatisfied with Feng Zhengming.

But after everyone worked together for a few days, other young chefs soon discovered Feng Zhengming's greatness.

He can clearly explain the cooking process of each dish, and when it comes to seasoning, he can do it almost accurately with one spoonful.

Especially in the back kitchen, everyone had a knife skills competition together.

During the knife skills competition, Feng Zhengming's knife skills completely convinced the others.

Feng Zhengming's almighty skills convinced other young chefs. Because he can really guide everyone in cooking.

At the same time, Feng Zhengming can also develop new dishes.

In fact, in the kitchen, especially in the kitchen today, which needs to cope with large-scale catering, just creating a new dish is often not possible in the kitchen.

Because in catering reception work, it is often not just one dish, but many dishes that need to be made.

To create a new dish at this time, you need to be able to separate each process of the dish.

Then separate the processes so that other chefs in the kitchen can clearly cooperate.

Only in this way can an innovative dish be launched.

Otherwise, how many sets can one person make when no one else can cooperate?
The thing that convinces young chefs about Feng Zhengming is that after he creates a new dish, he can separate the processes and guide the chefs to be responsible for different processes.

In this way, by mobilizing everyone in the kitchen, an innovative dish can be launched smoothly.

Just like the braised beef with sauce made by Feng Zhengming in today's assessment.

During the process, young chefs all participated, so that the dish could be made in sufficient portions at once.

Yang Bin said: "You boy, you are really born to be a chef. If you sit in the kitchen and do nothing, you will give people a very confident look and make everyone feel confident."

Feng Zhengming laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, is it that exaggerated?"

The third senior brother said seriously: "It's not an exaggeration at all. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask them."

Feng Zhengming immediately joked: "So, I am the mascot in the kitchen? You don't treat me as a moving statue in the kitchen, right? You worship me in your heart while cooking?"

These words made the third senior brother immediately happy.

"Hahaha, that's kind of what it means."

The two senior brothers laughed together.

After laughing, Feng Zhengming said: "Third brother, don't worry, we will definitely make a name for ourselves this time. When I successfully complete the catering reception work and come back to decorate the restaurant, we will no longer have to come to the train station to work at the food stalls." Just in our shop, let customers come to us. ”

Yang Bin smiled and nodded: "That's right, let customers come to you in the future."

But then, Yang Bin looked at the situation at the train station and couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"If we don't come here, this place will definitely be occupied by others soon. When people use our sign, it may really affect our business."

Feng Zhengming said: "Don't be afraid. Customers won't recognize our brand without our craftsmanship."

Yang Bin was still a little reluctant to leave: "I really have feelings for this place. I really won't come here anymore. I feel a little bit unhappy."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Then, third brother, when you open a branch, you will come to the train station."

When he heard about the branch, Yang Bin said: "Open a branch? I don't think I will open a branch. I am very good in your store. There is no need to run a branch. After opening a branch, I have to consider business issues every day. It is too tiring. I and I Your sister-in-law can’t do it.”

Just at this time, the third sister-in-law Liang Hongmei came out and heard the two brothers talking about opening a branch.

Liang Hongmei also said: "Your third brother and I definitely can't do it at the branch. We can follow you, but we really can't figure it out by ourselves."

Obviously, the third senior brother and the third sister-in-law were a little unconfident because they had failed to open a restaurant before.

Feng Zhengming originally wanted to persuade, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so for the time being.

"In this way, third brother and third sister-in-law, we will discuss it when we are able to open a branch. Now our shop has not been renovated, and the restaurant has not been reopened, so the branch is still too far away."

These words made sense to the third senior brother and third sister-in-law.

"Okay, we'll discuss it then."

Yang Bin then changed the subject: "During your absence, Ronaldinho and that Xiao Tao both came to see you."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Come to see me at the food stall? They should all know that I am not here."

Yang Bin nodded: "Yes, we all know you are not here, but I can see that they are very concerned about you. They said they came to the food stall to eat, and they were obviously looking for you as soon as they arrived."

Luo Qing came to the food stall and wanted to see her, but Feng Zhengming could understand.

Because for more than half a month, he and the young chefs have been training in the back kitchen of the hotel.

In addition to everyone's cooperation, you also need to listen to the lessons given by some staff responsible for reception work, as well as the lessons given to them by five consultant masters.

So Feng Zhengming didn't have time to meet Luo Qing.

Luo Qing came to the food stall, maybe thinking that maybe she could meet her at the food stall?
But Feng Zhengming didn't understand why the third senior brother said Tao Mengran also came to the food stall as an excuse to wait and see?

Seeing Feng Zhengming's puzzled look, Yang Bin whispered, "Your sister-in-law and I think that Xiao Tao might be interested in you too."

Feng Zhengming immediately said: "Impossible. With the situation in her family, she should have no shortage of boys to pursue. Besides, her family must hope that she finds a well-matched man. We can't meet together at all."

Liang Hongmei said from the side: "My sister-in-law is a woman, how can I not understand her thoughts?"

Feng Zhengming waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, please don't think blindly. Luo Qing and I have a very good relationship. Tao Mengran is really just a classmate we met at the driving school, and it was indeed her brother who helped me. I can be the person this time." The chef at the reception, but there is really no story between the two of us. ”

Seeing Feng Zhengming's resolute attitude made the third senior brother and third sister-in-law feel relieved.

Yang Bin said: "Okay, it seems that you have seen things very clearly, so your third sister-in-law and I have nothing to tell you."

Liang Hongmei nodded: "We are overthinking it, don't take it to heart."

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I won't take it personally. These days, the food stalls are all thanks to you and brother three. You are my best helpers, and you are also my brother and sister-in-law. The whole family can say anything." "

This night was the last time Feng Zhengming went back to the food stall while he was in charge of catering.

Later, as foreign youths arrived one after another, youth representatives from all over the country also came in droves.

Feng Zhengming and the others also officially devoted themselves to catering work.

Different dishes need to be prepared every day according to the guests of different nationalities.

The dishes prepared by Feng Zhengming and others quickly gained praise from young people at home and abroad.

As more and more youth representatives arrived, reporters from television stations and newspapers also appeared one after another and began to report on this international youth exchange conference.

Naturally, the catering that Feng Zhengming and his team were responsible for also received a lot of attention.
