From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 371 The chef refuses to serve on the stove
Feng Zhengming held a loudspeaker to guide the people queuing at the door, and also carried a kettle to refill some customers' water.

This approach naturally wins the favor of many customers.

As a result, many people would rather queue here than consider eating at other restaurants.

Just as Feng Zhengming was pouring water for customers, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing next to him.

He looked up and saw the slim Luo Qing.

Feng Zhengming grinned: "You're back from a business trip? Did you gain anything new this time?"

Luo Qing saw the smile on Feng Zhengming's face, as if she was seeing bright sunshine.

Is Feng Zhengming very handsome? Definitely not the handsome kind.

But Feng Zhengming gives people a very sunny feeling, making people feel that he is very approachable and they are willing to trust him and get in touch with him.

Feng Zhengming saw that Luo Qing was silent and just stood looking at him with his big watery eyes flashing.

"Is this Boss Feng's girlfriend?"

But the customers in line were already happy.

Almost all the customers in this group have arrived and entered the dry rice shop one after another.

Especially when she saw the looks of people lining up around her, Luo Qing's face turned red instantly.

Although Luo Qing was embarrassed by Feng Zhengming's powerful oath, she was still very happy.

Feng Zhengming, on the other hand, was cheeky and continued to hold Luo Qing's waist, smiling at everyone and saying, "Since everyone thinks they are a good match, this will be the boss's wife from now on."

I don’t know who shouted this, but it made the crowd burst into laughter.

Luo Qing felt a little panicked when Feng Zhengming suddenly held her waist like this in the street.

"You really said those things in front of so many people."

These words made the customers waiting in line cheer.

Luo Qing thought about it carefully and calculated the time. It seemed that she was not in a hurry.

When people came in, Luo Qing couldn't help but pat Feng Zhengming gently.

Some people also asked when can they drink Feng Zhengming’s wedding wine?
Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "It should be time for the wedding banquet. When Huiquan Building opens successfully, I will work hard for a year. If the business of Huiquan Building and Ganfanpu is stable, we will get married."

"You, what are you doing? You are like this on the street."

But when she looked at Feng Zhengming, her eyes were filled with peach blossoms.

Everyone in the queue immediately started cheering, and some people directly called Luo Qing, the boss lady.

"Are you going south to Shanghai so soon?"

Luo Qing did not expect that Feng Zhengming would give such an accurate time.

Feng Zhengming nodded and lowered his voice and said: "This is my temporary idea. Time waits for no one. How fast is development now? We must seize the time, and by then, you will be in Sanshu Company for one or two years." , we should also learn what we need to learn, let’s go to Shanghai to open a mom-and-pop shop.”

"Nizi will be blessed in the future. Master Xiao Feng is so good at cooking, and he will be able to have state banquets at home every day."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "No? How can you do it if you don't agree? Everyone calls you boss lady. If you don't agree to me, you will definitely not be able to marry in the future. If anyone dares to marry you, I will bring someone to your door." Break the legs."

……

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qing was a little bit dumbfounded.

Outside the door of the dry rice shop, I joked with the customers in line.

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, many old customers know you and the relationship between us. I think I should be able to run Huiquan Building very well in one year."

He couldn't help feeling a little strange, and stepped forward and put his arms around Luo Qing's waist.

"Yes, whoever dares to compete with Boss Feng for his wife, let's break his legs together."

When the time comes, I will ask grandpa to help me propose marriage to your family. "

"You, why are you like this? I didn't even agree."

Luo Qing's cheeks turned redder, really burning.

Hearing the words of the people in line made Luo Qing even more embarrassed.

Before Luo Qing could agree, Feng Zhengming continued: "I think that after we get married, we can go south together. Let's go to Shanghai to make a base first and set up a shop there to sell some meat."

"Boss Feng's girlfriend is so beautiful, you guys are really talented and pretty."

"Hahaha, okay, Boss Feng is indeed domineering."

Luo Qing was a little surprised to hear what Feng Zhengming said.

"That's right, Master Xiao Feng, if you come to steal a bride, you must inform us, and we will go to help you together then."

"Three legs are broken."

"That's right, Master Xiao Feng's amazing craftsmanship and such a beautiful girlfriend are a perfect match."

Feng Zhengming first needs to operate Huiquan Building for one year, so that the operation of Huiquan Building can be stable.

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, the customers in line had already spoken first.

"What's wrong? You've only been on a business trip for a few days and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Then it may take at least half a year for two people to prepare for marriage.

If you do the math, it will really be a year or two before you go south to open a store in Shanghai.

By that time, Feng Zhengming should be able to accumulate enough.

Luo Qing should also have accumulated enough experience in Sanshu's company.

The two of them went south to Shanghai together. Even if they opened a small restaurant first, it would be like starting from scratch. Luo Qing felt that as long as the two of them worked hard together, it wouldn't be difficult.

Feng Zhengming also said that he hoped that his partner in going south to Shanghai to start a business would be Luo Qing.

This also made Luo Qing very happy, feeling that this showed her importance in Feng Zhengming's heart.

Luo Qing thought for a while and asked: "Then if you go south to Shanghai, where are the Ganfanpu and Huiquan Building in Quancheng?"

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Three brothers are here. There are Lao He and Gu Zhicheng over at Huiquan Building. They are both trustworthy. They will take care of themselves when the time comes. Let's go south to Shanghai and come back half a year to check. I believe it's okay." question.

Quancheng is our rear area. By stabilizing the rear area, we can show off our capabilities in Shanghai. "

Seeing that Feng Zhengming's plan was very good, Luo Qing smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go and show off our skills together."

Then, Feng Zhengming pulled Luo Qing into the Feng family restaurant.

Although Luo Qing had been here many times before the dry rice shop opened and witnessed the renovation of the dry rice shop with her own eyes.

Looking at the decorated dry rice shop now, Luo Qing still finds it very novel.

There are various decorations in the dry rice shop, and there are also good businesses that are crowded with people.

Luo Qing was also very happy for Feng Zhengming. Such a booming business is everyone's recognition of Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship, and it also shows that Feng Zhengming's efforts have reaped the rewards he deserves.

This reminded Luo Qing that Feng Zhengming had just mentioned his plan to go south to Shanghai to start a business together.

Seeing the good business of the Feng Family Restaurant in front of her, Luo Qing felt that Feng Zhengming would definitely succeed when he went south to Shanghai.

Feng Zhengming took Luo Qing around and took her inside to have a look.

When Xia Hui saw Luo Qing coming, she was very happy and rushed to Luo Qing to greet her enthusiastically.

"Sister Qing, are you back from a business trip? You have been on a business trip for a long time this time."

Luo Qing was also very happy to see Xia Hui, and asked with a smile: "Are you still used to the new kitchen? I think the business is very good now. Isn't it very hard for you? The heavy work is left to those men. , don’t fight with them.”

"Hahaha, they are the ones who robbed me. Now there are enough people in the kitchen. If we don't rush to work, there will be no work."

Luo Qing was stunned by Xia Hui's words.

Luo Qing looked at Feng Zhengming strangely.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "There is no way. The renovation of Huiquan Building has not been completed yet and it is not open for the time being, so I asked everyone to go to the restaurant first, so that there are too many people in the kitchen. You didn't look at me. Don’t you have a chance to get on the stove?”

Luo Qing was somewhat surprised by these words. She didn't expect that the business of the dry rice shop was so good, and that there would be a surplus of chefs behind it.

Xia Hui quickly said: "Uncle Shi cannot enter the back kitchen. If Uncle Shi goes into the back kitchen, he will do all the work by himself, and we will have nothing to do."

Hearing what Xia Hui said, Luo Qing looked at Feng Zhengming again.

The latter said helplessly: "The main reason is that sometimes they can't keep up with my pace. The rice shop here is all about stir-fries, and they can't keep up with the matching of many things. I can only cook them by myself, so the dishes I ordered are mixed." All done by one person.”

Luo Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Because when Feng Zhengming said it, there was still a little bit of grievance in his tone.

However, when I think of some scenes of Feng Zhengming cooking, I can understand why others can't keep up with his speed.

In the kitchen, Feng Zhengming is really versatile, and his movements are so neat that others may not be able to keep up with his rhythm if they are not focused enough or distracted.

Therefore, when Feng Zhengming is at his busiest in the kitchen, he often cooks, prepares, and stir-fries all the dishes by himself.

This also causes other chefs to be unable to keep up with the pace and will be left alone without being able to intervene.

Fengjiagan Restaurant reopened, and the business was unexpectedly booming.

Under the leadership of Feng Zhengming's third senior brother Yang Bin, everyone in the back kitchen unanimously "kicked out" Feng Zhengming, the chef and owner, from the back kitchen.

Yang Bin said that Feng Zhengming is the boss and also their chef. He cannot serve every dish personally and should give more opportunities to the young people in the kitchen.

Faced with everyone's unanimous "ostracism", Feng Zhengming could only be the one holding a loudspeaker to greet the guests.

When Xia Hui introduced the situation to Luo Qing, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sister Qing, you don't know, the way my uncle greeted the guests at the door with a loudspeaker in one hand and a kettle in the other has been photographed by others. The photo is regarded as a promotion for the Feng Family Restaurant, and many customers come here just to see what Uncle Master looks like."

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he immediately asked: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know about it?"

The third senior brother Yang Bin walked out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Does this let you know? If I let you know, you will definitely stop working. When the time comes, you will come to the kitchen to compete with us, and we will be fine." Can it be done?”

Grandpa Feng also walked over from the front and said cheerfully: "Yes, by then our Feng Family Restaurant's iconic scenery will be gone."

Luo Qing couldn't help laughing because of what everyone said, and everyone in the kitchen was also laughing.

Only Feng Zhengming felt a little dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the way I greeted customers outside would be publicized by many people, turning it into a kind of publicity for the dry rice shop.

The key is that even grandpa followed everyone and hid it from him.

But Feng Zhengming was not angry either.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as it can make our business good, it doesn't matter if I work as a waiter. I can also get to know the opinions of customers up close. What if someone's dish is not cooked well? Hehehe, I will. My salary will be deducted directly, please be careful."

Feng Zhengming's appearance not only did not scare everyone, but actually made everyone laugh again.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Feng Zhengming warned again: "It's okay to joke here, but everyone in the kitchen must be serious."

As soon as this warning came out, everyone stopped smiling almost at the same time, collectively expressing that nothing would go wrong.

Seeing with her own eyes the atmosphere in the back kitchen of Feng's restaurant made Luo Qing even more confident in Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming always maintains an approachable smile, but is able to control everything well.

This is how convincing he is.

Luo Qing was in the rice shop. She quickly changed into a waiter's clothes and started helping in the rice shop.

After she really started to help, Luo Qing realized that the restaurant was really busy.

What she didn't expect was that Ganfanpu's lunch could be sold until two or three in the afternoon.

Because there will still be customers coming in at one or two o'clock.

Luo Qing was really surprised by such a good business.

When he finally finished his work, Feng Zhengming asked with concern: "How was it? Is it a bit hard?"

On the contrary, Luo Qing smiled and said, "It's not hard. Third sister-in-law and Sister Wei both take care of me, so it's not hard for me, but it should be very hard for them."

Liang Hongmei laughed when she heard this and said, "It's not hard work for us. You haven't seen that there were too many people the week we first opened. That week was really hard work. Later, Zhengming worried that we were working too hard, so he Recruiting another group of people has taken a lot of our work away, so it’s no longer hard work.”

The reason why the dry rice shop was very hard during the first week was mainly due to the high table turnover rate every day.

Customers often come in batches.

Every table in the dry rice shop must be turned over immediately after the customer in front gets up from eating.

During that time, even with some service staff from Huiquan Building, there was still a feeling that two hands were not enough.

Fortunately, later on, the number of customers at the dry rice shop gradually became normal.

There won’t be so many people coming all at once every day.

Although there are still queues during meals, it is much better than before.

There are more people coming to buy meat and lunch boxes at noon, and most of them will not stay in the shop to eat.

Luo Qing came here after lunch again today, so she missed the peak at noon.

So Luo Qing didn't feel too hard after working as a waiter.

In fact, the Ganfan Shop does not close in the afternoon now. It’s just that when you come to the shop in the afternoon, you can only buy a handful of meat and you can’t order food.

This also allows everyone in the kitchen to take a rest and make some preparations for the evening.

Although the business of the food stall is very good, Feng Zhengming will also take people to the train station to work at the food stall at night.

This is mainly done to provide some training for the chefs who are about to join the back kitchen of Huiquan Building.
