From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 377: Senior Brother’s Pride (three updates, , please give me your monthly vote)

After coming out of Master's Yan's Restaurant, Feng Zhengming rode his bicycle and rushed to the brewery canteen.

During this time, because I have been very busy, I haven’t seen my senior brother for a while.

I just happened to take advantage of this time to send the invitation and go to the cafeteria to see Senior Brother.

Please take advantage of the trial opening of Huiquan Building, Senior Brother and the others, to come to Huiquan Building to get together with the brothers.

I rode my bike all the way to the brewery canteen.

As I passed the main road outside the front door of the brewery, I met many people from the factory.

When everyone saw Feng Zhengming, they all took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Zhengming, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It's really Zhengming, your business is very big now?"

"That's right. I heard that your Feng's dry rice shop is doing very well now. Everyone who comes to Quancheng now knows that if you want to eat a lot of meat, you have to go to Xian's dry rice shop."

"Hahaha, yes, I went back to my hometown a while ago, and everyone at home also talked about it."

"I went to your dry rice shop during the holiday two days ago. The business was really booming. There were many people queuing at the door."

"I heard that Zhengming you are already taking over the contract for Huiquan Building? That's really impressive."

"Let me tell you before, Zhengming and his senior brother are both masters. Now look at it, Zhengming is even more powerful than Master Li."

"Zhengming, when you take over Huiquan Building, when will it open?"

Faced with the enthusiasm of everyone in the brewery to greet him, Feng Zhengming did not expect that everyone would still remember him after he had only worked in the brewery cafeteria for a few months.

Feng Zhengming greeted everyone with a smile, and then said: "Oh, the Huiquan Building will have a trial opening next week. It will officially open on the 8th. If you are free then, you are welcome to come and support me."

Naturally, everyone in the brewery said that they would definitely go to Huiquan Building to support Feng Zhengming.

Then some people in the factory came close to Feng Zhengming and whispered about some things in the factory.

What Feng Zhengming didn't expect was that something went wrong with his senior brother's contract for the canteen in the factory.

The reason is naturally that the business in the canteen is getting better and better, and some people are jealous and start to do some tricks behind the scenes.

"Zhengming, can you remind your senior brother to be careful with Fang Jian."

"That's right, be really careful. He's a villain. He's been restless lately."

"We all like the food your senior brother cooks in the cafeteria, and the prices are not expensive, so we don't want your senior brother to be replaced by someone else if he can't continue."

"Your senior brother is too honest, and he may really suffer at the hands of Fang Jian."

"Also, please remind your senior brother not to let people in the canteen have casual contact with people in the factory. Some people in the factory are not good people."

Those who told Feng Zhengming about the situation were all considered to have a good relationship with Sister Li Huidong in the factory.

I usually like the food in the cafeteria and don't want Li Huidong to be replaced.

As bystanders, it is easier for them to see some problems.

They can often get some news about some disturbances in the factory.

Feng Zhengming expressed his gratitude to several people: "Thank you. I will ask my senior brother to pay attention. If you have time, go to my restaurant to eat some meat. I will definitely give you a discount when the time comes."

These words made several people laugh immediately, and they all said that they would definitely go to the Ganfan Shop to eat some meat during the holiday.

To say goodbye to everyone, Feng Zhengming did not enter through the factory gate, but rode his bicycle to the small iron gate in the backyard of the canteen.

Pushing open the small iron door, Feng Zhengming pushed his bicycle in.

Looking at the little courtyard that had not changed much inside the door, the scenes in the cafeteria with the senior brother emerged in his mind.

If I had not left the canteen, would I still be busy in the canteen every day?
Surrounding the big stove and cooking a big pot of food with the senior brother every day?
Occasionally, when there is a reception in the factory, they will turn on the stove and cook a few stir-fry dishes.

If there hadn't been some pinkeye in the factory, especially if there hadn't been the deputy director Fang Jian.

Maybe the days spent cooking in the cafeteria would also be very pleasant.

Feng Zhengming was thinking when several figures came out of the kitchen in the cafeteria.

The person who walked out first asked directly: "Who are you? You can't just enter here."

I didn't see Feng Zhengming clearly when he spoke, but I saw Feng Zhengming clearly when he spoke.

The person who came out immediately smiled and said, "It's Junior Uncle. Junior Junior Uncle, why are you here suddenly?"

This person is none other than Zhang Lei, the apprentice of the senior brother.

Without waiting for Feng Zhengming to reply, Zhang Lei turned to the chef in the cafeteria and shouted: "Master, Xiaopeng, come out quickly. Uncle Master is here, come out quickly."

Soon, figures came out of the cafeteria.

Senior brother Li Huidong, senior brother's apprentice Yang Peng, and Yang Peng's girlfriend He Xiaona.

As well as the elder brother's eldest cousin and Zhang Lei's sister-in-law.

Feng Zhengming saw everyone and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, do you need any help?"

As soon as he asked this question, everyone laughed.

Li Huidong stepped forward quickly, punched Feng Zhengming first, and then hugged Feng Zhengming.

"You are so powerful now, you are already the big boss. It took you so long to think of coming to see us? Have you forgotten me, your senior brother?"

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "How can I do that? I have always been thinking about poaching the senior brother from the cafeteria and working in my restaurant, or in the kitchen behind Huiquan Building with me."

Hearing Feng Zhengming's words, Zhang Lei asked almost impatiently: "Really? Junior uncle, are you going to invite master to Huiquan Tower?"

When Li Huidong saw Zhang Lei grabbing the conversation, he immediately glared at him: "Don't you see that your junior uncle is joking?"

Zhang Lei suddenly didn't dare to say anything when Li Huidong glared at him and scolded him.

However, Feng Zhengming had already seen from Zhang Lei's performance that the senior brother should not be doing a very good job in the cafeteria.

He said decisively: "Brother, I am not joking. If you are really willing to leave the canteen, I welcome you to go to the back kitchen of Huiquan Building. I can even give you the position of chef in the back kitchen of Huiquan Building. It is absolutely not the case." joke."

Li Huidong was a little surprised, but seeing Feng Zhengming's serious face, he understood that his junior brother was not joking.

After thinking for a moment, Li Huidong said with a smile: "Don't do this. I am the boss in the cafeteria, and when I go to the kitchen of Huiquan Building, why don't I become your subordinate? I won't go."

Feng Zhengming felt somewhat disappointed when he heard that his senior brother was not willing to go.

Through the words of those I met before in the brewery.

Look at the way Zhang Lei can't wait to let Li Huidong leave the cafeteria.

How could Feng Zhengming fail to see that the senior brother's work in the brewery canteen was not going very smoothly. It's just that the senior brother also has his own pride. He obviously doesn't want to leave the cafeteria like this and go to his junior brother.

Seeing that his master was unwilling to leave the canteen, Zhang Lei was a little anxious.

Zhang Lei has already felt that some people in the factory are very jealous of them contracting the canteen.

Moreover, Zhang Lei felt that he would not be able to learn more by following his master in the cafeteria.

Especially when Feng Zhengming took young chefs to take charge of catering for the youth conference.

Yang Peng was also temporarily transferred because he entered the top 20 in the Young Chef Cooking Competition.

Zhang Lei was quite jealous of this, and felt that it would be difficult for him to make progress if he stayed in the cafeteria.

Originally, when I saw my junior uncle here today and heard his invitation to the master, I thought that the master would agree to my request.

That way he could follow his master out of the cafeteria and go to the kitchen of Huiquan Building.

Zhang Lei feels that if he goes to the back kitchen of Huiquan Building with his master, he can learn more from him and his junior uncle, and his cooking skills will improve very quickly. Maybe he can also do it in the next provincial young chef cooking exchange competition. Make a splash.

So now the master clearly doesn't want to leave the cafeteria, and Zhang Lei is really anxious.

Finally, he couldn't help but said: "Master, there are many people in the factory who are jealous of you, and Fang Jian has been thinking of ways to get involved in the cafeteria. Why do you have to stay in the cafeteria at this time?"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Li Huidong looked at him.

When Zhang Lei faced Master's gaze, he flinched a little at first, but after a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and continued.

"I really think, master, if you leave the cafeteria and go to the back kitchen of Huiquan Building with your cooking skills, you will definitely be able to be the chef. By then, you will be helping the junior uncle to share the burden, just like the third chef Uncle is like that.”

Li Huidong finally got angry: "That's enough, what am I going to do? Do I need you to teach me?"

Then Li Huidong scolded Zhang Lei somewhat rudely.

"Look at you, you don't work hard all day long, you always think about what is there and what is not. Why can't you be like Xiaopeng and work down-to-earth? Hone your cooking skills? I I teach you the same things, see how you can do my job smoothly?"

Li Huidong got so angry that Zhang Lei's face turned red and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Feng Zhengming could only persuade him: "Brother, don't be angry. Leizi must be doing it for your own good, brother. I heard about it when I came here. Fang Jian seems to be getting more and more dissatisfied with you for contracting the canteen. You You really need to think of a way out for yourself, and you can’t wait until you can no longer work in the cafeteria before thinking about a way out.”

Li Huidong waved his hand: "You don't need to say anything. I won't leave the canteen for the time being, let alone follow you."

Hearing what his senior brother said, Feng Zhengming glanced at Zhang Lei and felt a little helpless.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lei had been with his senior brother for so long and didn't understand his master's temper at all.

If Zhang Lei hadn't said it so bluntly, maybe Feng Zhengming would have made some subtle moves and communicated with the senior brother, and he could have relaxed the senior brother slowly.

But now that Zhang Lei said this, Li Huidong would definitely not leave the canteen like this.

This is also his pride as a senior brother.

It's impossible to just go and seek refuge with your junior brother if you can't do well on your own.

His junior brother had always been taken care of by him, but now he needed his junior brother to take care of him. Li Huidong was so proud that he could not accept such a change in status.

Feng Zhengming did not continue to persuade, he took out the invitation he had brought.

"Senior brother, I'm not here to persuade you today. I'm here to send you an invitation. Huiquan Building will be open for trial operation next week. I invite you to have a meal together. We senior brothers will also take this opportunity to get together."

Seeing the invitation and hearing Feng Zhengming's invitation made Li Huidong laugh again.

"Okay, we will definitely go to the trial opening to support you."

Li Huidong asked again: "When will it officially open?"

Feng Zhengming replied: "No. 8, officially opened on the 8th."

"No. 8? Not bad, a good day." Li Huidong looked at the invitation with a smile on his face. He was really happy for his junior brother's current achievements.

Feng Zhengming said to the others: "When the time comes, let's go together and have fun together."

At this time, Chang Xiuqin felt somewhat embarrassed when she saw Feng Zhengming.

She used to feel that Feng Zhengming needed to rely on his senior brother in the cafeteria.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year after Feng Zhengming left the canteen, he had managed to run the dry rice shop very well, and even contracted a restaurant like Huiquan Building.

All this made Chang Xiuqin feel a little embarrassed to face Feng Zhengming.

Now that Feng Zhengming directly extended the invitation, Chang Xiuqin hesitated and said, "Xiao Feng, I'm really sorry before. My eldest sister really shouldn't have said that to you before."

When Feng Zhengming saw Chang Xiuqin apologizing to him, he actually laughed.

"Sister, what are you talking about? What did you say about me before? Why didn't I know?"

When Feng Zhengming said this to Chang Xiuqin, she didn't know what to say.
Feng Zhengming continued: "Sister, I am in the cafeteria, thanks to your care. I am still very grateful to everyone for the time we spent together in the cafeteria. Maybe I did not leave a good impression on everyone, but now that it has passed, Then let it go. This time Huiquan Building opens, you must go too, eldest sister."

Such words made Chang Xiuqin feel a little embarrassed.

Instead of blaming her, Feng Zhengming took some of the previous responsibilities onto himself.

This really made Chang Xiuqin feel more and more like she was a joke in front of others.

Did I still look down on Feng Zhengming at that time?
People are really capable, and they can do great things no matter where they are.

Chang Xiuqin didn't say much else, just said: "Okay, let's all go together. We must make Huiquan Building lively and let everyone see that there will be good business as soon as Huiquan Building opens. "

After chatting with Chang Xiuqin, Feng Zhengming looked at Yang Peng.

"How is it? Is Xiaopeng the same as Leizi? Do you think your master should go to my place?"

Yang Peng said: "No matter where Master is, I will definitely follow Master."

Feng Zhengming laughed when he heard this: "I originally wanted to ask you if you would like to go to Huiquan Tower with me? It seems like there is no need to ask. If senior brother doesn't go, you probably won't go either."

Hearing this, Yang Peng did not hesitate at all: "Thank you, little uncle. Master is in the cafeteria, and I will stay in the cafeteria."

Li Huidong looked at Yang Peng, feeling very relieved at this moment.

Feng Zhengming said: "Okay, you and Leizi will learn from my senior brother. Remember, only by mastering your skills can you develop better in the future."

After a pause, Feng Zhengming looked at his senior brother and said, "Senior brother may not be as good as me in business, but he is definitely better than me in basic skills and teaching disciples. I hope to see you two pass the intermediate level next year. "

Yang Peng immediately said: "I will definitely pass the exam."

Zhang Lei finally just said "hmm" and accepted.
