From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 369 There is support and help from many people
Feng Zhengming's first-hand opening promotion was indeed very effective.

It was after the previous report that he took over the contracting of Huiquan Building that his popularity began to subside almost immediately.

Immediately following will be the official reopening of Fengjiagan Restaurant.

It has been publicized by regular customers and reported by Quancheng newspapers and TV stations.

In particular, there are reports on people's livelihood news on provincial TV stations.

This further increased Feng Zhengming's reputation.

Many people who had only heard of Fengjiagang Restaurant in the past began to visit, wanting to try the pork and other dishes at Fengjiagang Restaurant. What is the difference between it and some other restaurants?
Such curiosity and experimentation naturally keep the business of Feng Family Restaurant booming.

Originally, Feng Zhengming and the others expected that a hot scene for a day or two would be enough.

As a result, the hot scene lasted for a week, and even on weekends, more and more people came to the restaurant.

What impresses many customers who come to Fengjiagang Restaurant is that every time they come, they see Feng Zhengming personally directing the crowd with a loudspeaker.

In fact, Feng Zhengming did not increase the price of the meat because he knew very well that the expanded dry rice shop would not just make money by selling the meat.

For a while, the meat factory was short of supply.

Local people will help promote Feng Jia Gan Rice Shop's meat. Another very important reason is that Feng Zhengming never increases the price.

And it also needs to supply residents’ daily household purchases.

The Feng Family Restaurant makes money from them, mainly from the stir-fried dishes they order.

The meat factory could only urgently purchase a batch from some surrounding villages and towns.

When the business of Fengjiagan Restaurant was booming, the first small dilemma they encountered was the supply of pork.

I saw Grandpa Feng and Feng Zhengming coming to the door together.

I would also ask the local people in Quancheng if the meat from Fengjiagang Restaurant is really delicious.

Because the business was so good, Fengjiagang Restaurant consumed a lot of pork for a week in a row.

Whether it's noon or evening, some people will not only order meat, but also some stir-fried dishes.

After the beginning of spring, the meat processing plant encountered a little trouble in the supply of live pigs.

Such a booming business is truly unique in the entire Quancheng City, and even in the entire province.

Let’s order a few dishes first and have a few drinks with a small group of friends.

With the help of local people to promote it, the reputation of Fengjiagang Restaurant is getting better and better.

Finally, after finishing the wine, have another piece of meat and rice, or a piece of hand-made noodles, which is the end of the night's small drinking party.

Everyone doesn’t quite understand what Feng Zhengming means?
Nowadays, most people prefer pork from pig farms, because those pigs will be bigger and produce more meat, and more importantly, the price of pork from pig farms is relatively cheap, while the price of free-range pigs in the countryside will be higher. .

A batch of pigs originally agreed with the pig farm, but something unexpected happened and they were not delivered in time.

In fact, the main profit part of the expanded dry rice shop now is cooking.

Most of them come to Feng's restaurant to work at the restaurant, which is the same choice as going to the food stalls at the train station.

Not only the price of meat has not increased, but also the price of Sixi meatballs, five-spice boneless braised hoof and elbow.

After hearing what the other party said, Feng Zhengming asked directly: "If we all want pigs collected from the countryside, can we guarantee our full supply for the next half month?"

After Fengjiagan Restaurant reopened, the price of the meat remained the same as that of their train station stall.

When people from outside the province come to Quancheng to inquire, they will naturally get a very positive answer.

The locals recognize Fengjiagang’s delicious meat.

When Feng Zhengming said this, everyone in the meat factory looked at each other.

When Feng Zhengming saw that the people at the meat factory remained silent, he said bluntly: "If the supply of pork collected from your countryside is sufficient, we can take all the pork and leave the pork from the pig farm for others."

And after continuous publicity in newspapers and television.

"The pork belly from Fengjiagang Restaurant? That's really a specialty of our Quancheng. Among all the pork belly shops in Quancheng, only the pork belly from Fengjiagang Restaurant is the most delicious."

Especially at night, many people who come to the restaurant are in groups.

The meat factory is also very straightforward: "Uncle Feng, if your consumption is still so high in the next half month, you may have to accept that the pork you purchase must be mixed with some pigs harvested from the countryside, and the price will be higher." A bit higher, and probably not as big as before.”

Even on weekends, some snacks and tea are prepared so that people waiting in line can eat snacks and drink tea while waiting for a seat.

After all, in addition to the needs of the Feng Family Restaurant, there are other large and small restaurants in Quancheng that also need it.

In order to solve the problem of pork supply, Grandpa Feng accompanied Feng Zhengming on another trip to the meat factory.

Because of this, the reputation of Feng Zhengming's dry rice shop and its pork meat began to spread to other places.

After communicating with the meat factory, Feng Zhengming learned about the situation.

These people are not just here to eat dried meat rice.

The price is cheap, and it can make people eat well and full.

After experiencing continuous queues, Feng Zhengming also arranged stools for the people waiting in line at the door.

Gradually, many tourists from outside the province will start to arrive. When they arrive in Quancheng, they will ask where the Feng family’s restaurant is.

It has naturally become everyone’s first choice for dining.

Hearing this, everyone in the meat factory breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Boss Feng, if you are willing to ask for all the pigs collected from the countryside, it will really help us solve some troubles. Don't worry, we all contacted these pigs last year, and we also sent experts to guide the breeding. I guarantee there will be no problem, but they will be a little smaller if they are kept free-range.”

Feng Zhengming nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. We mainly make meat. We don't care about the size of the pig."

In the end, after some discussion, the meat factory did not charge Feng Zhengming any more money.

Solved the problem of pork supply.

On the way back from the meat factory, Grandpa Feng asked something strange.

"Zhengming, now everyone seems to prefer pork from pig farms. Why would you want all the pigs raised by farmers in the countryside?"

Feng Zhengming replied with a smile: "Grandpa, I think the meat of pigs raised by farmers in the countryside will taste more meaty. If possible in the future, I even want to build my own breeding farm to raise a group of free-range pigs to supply us." shops and restaurants.”

This somewhat surprised Grandpa: "You want to raise your own pigs?" Feng Zhengming nodded first, then continued: "Grandpa, do you believe it? Now maybe everyone will pursue something large-scale, but in the future, everyone may I will start pursuing some small workshop-style things again.

After everyone gradually and completely solves the problem of food and clothing, they will definitely pursue a better quality of life. By then, some higher-quality and more refined things will become the pursuit of many people. "

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Grandpa felt a little incredible.

The key point is that Grandpa Feng thought about it carefully and felt that Feng Zhengming's words made sense.

Reminiscent of some of Feng Zhengming’s renovations to Huiquan Building. It is also following a more tasteful direction.

While grandpa was thinking, Feng Zhengming continued: "Grandpa, I walk on two legs now. One leg is the Feng Family Restaurant, which is also our basic base, and the other leg is Huiquan Tower."

Hearing this, Grandpa Feng calmed down and said, "Well, your idea is very good. Walking on two legs will be more stable."

Feng Zhengming said: "Yes, but there are still some uncertainties in Huiquan Tower."

"Are you worried that Huiquan Building won't be recognized by everyone after it opens?" Grandpa Feng put an end to Feng Zhengming's worries.

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, I am still a little worried. Although Huiquan Building has been renovated, and I have also put up some slogans, and asked newspapers and TV to interview me and the young chef, which can be regarded as building momentum for the reopening of Huiquan Building in advance. Those can only be the icing on the cake, the real deal needs the dishes to speak for themselves.”

"Hahaha." Grandpa Feng suddenly laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect that Chef Feng, who had always been so high-profile before, would be so worried now."

Being smiled like this by his grandfather made Feng Zhengming's worries disappear instantly.

Grandpa Feng laughed and continued: "You don't need to be so nervous and worried. You should believe in your craftsmanship, and you should also believe in your current kitchen and other people in Huiquan Building. You should also believe in those who stand around you, such as Your third senior brother, Xiao Gu and Lao He, they are all your trustworthy partners."

Feng Zhengming also understood what grandpa said.

The third senior brother, Yang Bin, must be the most trustworthy, so he handed over the Feng Family Restaurant to him.

Over at Huiquan Building, Gu Zhicheng is helping him in the kitchen, and He Yunqing is in charge of reception services in the front.

In addition, Sun Hai, Xia Hui and Chen Anbang will stand firmly on their side.

There are many trustworthy people. Thinking about it, Feng Zhengming felt that maybe he was worrying too much.

"I'm overthinking it. Maybe it's my first time to run a restaurant as big as Huiquan House, so I'm a little nervous. I want to run Huiquan House really well."

Grandpa Feng reached out and patted Feng Zhengming's shoulder gently.

"Nothing is guaranteed to be perfect. You may encounter many problems when doing anything. Many problems are intertwined, and there may be many difficulties in the process. But as long as the final result is good, then there is no need to pursue the process. Perfect in everything.”

Grandpa comforted Feng Zhengming with words.

"Don't be too harsh on yourself, don't put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you work hard enough, you will get a good result. If you encounter difficulties in the process, don't be discouraged, and you will be able to overcome those obstacles."

With his grandfather's encouragement, Feng Zhengming quickly regained his confidence and smiled.

"Grandpa is right. The process may not be perfect, but as long as there is a good result, this time contracting the Huiquan Building can be regarded as an attempt of mine. Even if the operation process is not satisfactory, according to We will correct some of the feedback from customers and I believe it will get better and better.”

Grandpa Feng nodded: "You are also accumulating experience in business, and you will do better and better in the future."

Feng Zhengming said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job."

"Hahaha." Grandpa smiled and encouraged again, "I feel relieved to see you regain your confidence. Grandpa believes you can do well."

Feng Zhengming pedaled the tricycle with high spirits and said: "If everything goes well, we will buy a car ourselves next year, and we will drive here when we purchase goods. Grandpa, you can follow me in all weathers."

Grandpa, who was sitting behind the tricycle, patted Feng Zhengming on the back: "Okay, Grandpa is waiting to take the car you bought yourself."

The grandfather and grandson returned to the dry rice shop. Although it hadn't opened yet, there were people waiting at the door.

After Grandpa Feng came back, he asked people to open the door of the shop first, and asked those waiting at the door to sit down and wait. He even asked Wei Xiuling and Liang Hongmei to arrange for waiters to pour tea.

The old man's arrangement made the customers who came in advance a little embarrassed.

"Thank you. I came a little early today. In fact, I just need to wait outside for a while."

"Yes, the main reason is that today is the weekend, and I'm afraid that if I arrive late, I will have to queue for too long."

"We just happened to go out to play. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, we decided to come here first. Unexpectedly, we came early and the business hadn't started yet."

"Thank you so much, master, for letting us come in and waiting, and for arranging tea for us."

Customers who came in line in advance expressed their gratitude to Feng Zonggu.

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome. In the future, everyone should not come too early. Come back after almost 10:30. I will tell them that if it is not open until 10:30, they can also open the door first and let everyone come in and sit down and wait."

It must be said that Feng Zonggu’s kind-hearted look and his unhurried and kind words made the waiting customers feel very comfortable.

Some children even took the initiative to call Grandpa and say thank you to Feng Zonggu.

Seeing the children taking the initiative to say thank you, Feng Zonggu also smiled and expressed his welcome to the children.

With Feng Zonggu's arrangements, customers who come in advance don't feel anxious.

Chat with the old man for a few words and drink a few sips of tea.

Before I knew it, it was the opening hours of the dry rice shop.

There was no need for Feng Zhengming to come out with a loudspeaker. The customers who had been waiting for a long time had already lined up in line consciously, and there were even some cases of humility, allowing some older people to stand in front of the queue.

When Feng Zhengming saw such a harmonious scene, he understood that this was all due to his grandfather.

It seems that Feng Zhengming is busy alone in either the Feng Family Restaurant or the Huiquan Building.

In fact, there are many people around Feng Zhengming who have been silently helping him.

With everyone's help, Feng Zhengming can run the dry rice shop well.

It was also because of the help of so many people that he had the confidence to take over the contract for Huiquan Building.

Feng Zhengming's Ganfanpu has been popular for many days in a row, and naturally he has been in the news together with Ganfanpu and Baozi Rou.

Luo Qing came back from a business trip for many days. Thinking that she had not been home for a while, she went home first after returning from a business trip.

What she didn't expect was that when she came back from a business trip, everyone in her family, from her parents to her brother, were very kind to her. Her mother even went to the street to buy vegetables and came back to cook for her.

Seeing the abnormal intimacy between her family members, Luo Qing couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But when she turned on the TV and saw the news about the Feng Family Restaurant, she finally understood why her family members were so affectionate.

The booming business of the Feng Family Restaurant obviously made Luo Qing's family feel proud in front of their relatives and friends.
