From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 380: Welcome relatives and friends (please vote for me)

Before relatives and friends were preparing to attend the banquet, Feng Zhengming had been busy with everyone in Huiquan Building for the whole morning.

It starts from the early morning when all kinds of fresh food are delivered to Huiquan Building.

Feng Zhengming and all of them began to prepare for receiving the invited relatives and friends at noon.

Even the soup used for cooking has been stewed the night before.

Feng Zhengming went to the back kitchen of Huiquan Building in the middle of the night and prepared soup with Gu Zhicheng.

In the early morning, some other chefs came to the kitchen and prepared all the scallion oil and scallion and pepper oil needed for cooking.

Fresh food enters the kitchen, and everyone performs their duties.

Feng Zhengming took Sun Hai, Qi Jiale, Bao Feng, and the young chefs who were left in the back kitchen to prepare all kinds of fish and shrimp.

Feng Zhengming asked Feng Zhengming to chop off the heads and tails of some of the fresh large prawns. These shrimps were to be used in braised prawns.

"Hahaha……"

The ingredients in the back kitchen were all ready. Feng Zhengming asked everyone to take a rest first. He came to the front hall from the back kitchen and saw He Yunqing and the foreman making final confirmations to the service staff.

Make sure everything in the lobby and private rooms of Huiquan Building is ready.

Similarly, just splitting whole chickens and ducks in large quantities is also a very laborious and tedious task.

In the kitchen, the preparation of every ingredient needs to be magnified hundreds of times.

"Grandpa, second aunt, uncle, third uncle, aunt, you are here."

Cooking in the kitchen is not like cooking at home. You only need to prepare one portion of each ingredient at most.

Gu Zhicheng led the rest of the people, who were responsible for preparing chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef, mutton and other meats according to different parts for different dishes.

The peeled shrimps also need to be separated, and some of the shrimps that remain intact will be used to make soup or stir-fry shrimps and cabbage.

At this moment, all the kitchen and service staff in Huiquan Building gathered together.

Feng Jiandong laughed and joked: "Are you still afraid of Master Su? Your craftsmanship should be comparable to the masters, right?"

Feng Zhengming also knew this, so he asked several people to take turns to grind the shrimps.

Grandpa Feng laughed and said: "Zhengming is right. Today Zhengming invited some relatives and friends. Everyone should be careful when speaking. Don't forget why Zhengming invited us here? We need to help Zhengming find the problem. Help him make all aspects of Huiquan Building better.”

Zhang Hongwei also smiled and said: "And me."

After He Yunqing and the foreman finished confirming, Feng Zhengming called everyone in the kitchen out.

Grandpa Feng said: "Originally, Huiquan Building was a restaurant that competed with Jufengde, so it was definitely different from Jubinyuan and Taifeng Building. Zhengming retained the simple decoration style, which is still very good."

There are also some shrimps that are not of very good quality. All the shrimp shells are peeled off and the shrimps are peeled out.

Just like wringing shrimps, if you just wring a plate of shrimps, it may be faster with one hand and can be completed in a few minutes.

In short, no one is allowed to do anything but one kind of work in the kitchen.

Feng Shengnan immediately stood up and said, "Brother still has me."

Feng Zhengming said seriously to everyone: "Today is the first day of the reopening of Huiquan Building. Today we have not officially opened to the public. We are only open to some relatives and friends I invited. It is considered a trial operation before the trial operation.

The second aunt Feng Suying looked at the renovated lobby of Huiquan Building, nodded and praised: "After renovation, Huiquan Building really has a very elegant taste. It is completely different from Jubin Garden and Taifeng Building, and is closer to Jubin Garden." Fonder.”

In another part, the shrimp heads are cut off directly and the tails are split in half. These are used to make Luohan prawns and fried shrimp steaks.

Feng Zhengming also asked Gu Zhicheng to take turns with others.

Feng Zhengming said righteously: "This is not fear, this is respect. We must respect the old and love the young."

After Feng Zhengming finished speaking, everyone present agreed seriously.

The second uncle then said: "Huiquan Tower is also very famous in Quancheng. I heard about Huiquan Tower when I was a child. Later, it was as famous as Jufengde. I don't know why it slowly disappeared. I didn't expect it to be here now." If you take over Zhengming, the reputation of Huiquan Tower will definitely surpass that of Jufengde."

It can be said that just one shrimp can be processed in many different ways.

From time to time, everyone exchanges, which can also prevent people from getting anxious doing one kind of work.

Even He Yunqing and the service staff couldn't help laughing.

Some of the shrimp will be chopped into shrimp paste and later used into shrimp paste.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Welcome, welcome. I am definitely the happiest when my brothers and sisters can come to support me."

This is not only a test of patience, it is even a torture in the end.

I hope everyone can stay alert and don’t be afraid of making mistakes. It’s okay to make some small mistakes today. Just treat it as a practice before the official opening. Everyone will also find out some problems through today’s operation. When the business officially opens later, , everyone should not make some mistakes that should not be made. "

After hearing what his third uncle said, Feng Zhengming hurriedly approached his grandfather, his second aunt, and his third uncle.

As soon as Feng Zhengming said these words, everyone present could not help laughing.

But in the back kitchen, hundreds of shrimps are twisted one by one, and each shrimp must be twisted neatly.

After hearing what his second uncle said, Feng Zhengming immediately smiled and said: "Uncle is right, we do want to surpass Jufengde, but today, uncle, you can just say this now, but don't say it again later. Today The guest here is Mr. Su from Jufengde, but we can’t let Mr. Su hear it.”

This way you won't make a person anxious.

"Hahaha, Zhengming is really very elegant. After the renovation, the Huiquan Building has a more elegant feel. It's not bad. It seems that you took over Zhengming very successfully."

Just as everyone responded, accompanied by a burst of laughter, Grandpa Feng arrived with his second aunt and third uncle's family.

The third uncle immediately said: "Understood, we are here to find fault today."

Zhang Hongwei then asked: "Grandpa, we are here today to be judges. Are we going to judge my brother's restaurant?"

An excited and evil smile appeared on Feng Shengnan's face: "Hehehe, we can find fault with brother Zhengming."

In excitement, Feng Shengnan even rubbed his little hands.

Lin Yun saw her daughter's look and said, "You girl, why do you want to deliberately find fault with your brother?"

"It doesn't matter. Feel free to find faults today. The more critical the better. We must expose some of the problems in Huiquan Building so that we can do better in the future."

While we were chatting, Master and his family had already arrived.

Almost at the same time, the senior brother's family and everyone in his cafeteria also came.

Everyone brought various potted plants to Feng Zhengming’s Huiquan Building and quickly placed them in front of the Huiquan Building.

Seeing his master and senior brother coming, Feng Zhengming hurried forward to greet them.

"Master, senior brother, eldest brother, and second brother, you are all here, please come in quickly."

After Master and Senior Brother, other invited people also arrived one after another.

Luo Qing's family also arrived soon. Even Fang Hongyan came with Luo Qing's family.

Luo Qing's parents were really surprised when they saw the scene.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhengming could invite so many people.

Moreover, the ribbons hanging on the potted plants and flower baskets that were delivered to the door indicated that the people who came here really had some status in Quan City.

I even saw Feng Zhengming greeting different people and seemed to be able to chat well with everyone. It seemed that everyone gave Feng Zhengming respect and were full of expectations for him to take over Huiquan Building.

Luo's mother couldn't help but said: "Xiao Feng is very powerful, and the people he invited are all reputable people from Quancheng."

Luo's father said: "The circle he socializes in is different now, so naturally the status of the people invited is also different."

Fang Hongyan heard it from the side and couldn't help but said: "He's just a cook."

Naturally, Luo Qing would not spoil the other person and said rudely: "He is a cook. If you feel that you have lost your status, you can leave. They originally invited our family here, but no one invited you, so you have to shamelessly follow me." ”

Fang Hongyan's expression changed when she was told that, and she blushed, but she didn't know how to argue for a moment.

For a long time, Fang Hongyan could only ask Luo Wenhan for help.

"Wen Han, look at your sister, she is helping others even before she gets married. Does she talk to her sister-in-law like this?"

Luo Wenhan had always been obedient to Fang Hongyan, but now that he heard that Fang Hongyan called herself "sister-in-law" in front of his sister, he was filled with joy.

"Xiaoqing, you can't talk to your sister-in-law like this."

In the end, Luo Qing didn't buy it at all: "I'm not married yet, and I haven't married yet. Isn't it just a sister-in-law? Who is a sister-in-law? I don't admit it."

Luo Qing's refusal to give in made Luo Wenhan look helpless.

Fang Hongyan was still trying to persuade Luo Wenhan to teach her sister a lesson.

However, Luo Wenhan really has no temper at all in front of his sister.

Especially since this is in front of Huiquan Tower, Feng Zhengming is not far away greeting guests.

Luo Wenhan was still afraid of Feng Zhengming.

Finally, when Fang Hongyan saw that Luo Wenhan didn't dare to do anything to her sister, she said angrily: "Humph, isn't it just a meal? I won't eat, okay? I'm leaving."

After speaking, Fang Hongyan shook off Luo Wenhan's hand, turned around and left directly.

When Luo Wenhan saw this, he naturally chased after him.

The parents of the Luo family looked helpless when they saw this situation.

When Luo Qing saw Luo Wenhan and Fang Hongyan leaving, she smiled and pulled her parents inside.

In fact, Luo Qing was confronting Fang Hongyan at the door, just to force the other party to leave.

Now that my brother and Fang Hongyan are gone.

Luo Qing quickly pulled her parents in.

Feng Zhengming greeted the guests and also noticed the arrival of the Luo family. Although he didn't know what Luo Qing and the others said? But seeing Fang Hongyan and Luo Wenhan leaving one after another, he hurriedly greeted Luo Qing and her parents.

"Uncle and auntie, you are here. I saw my eldest brother is also here. Why is he leaving again?"

Luo Qing's parents didn't know how to answer this question.

Luo Qing said directly: "Don't worry about them, he will pursue his love and there is no need to eat this meal."

Feng Zhengming didn’t know what to say after being spoken to?
He could only say to Luo Qing and her parents: "Uncle and aunt, you go in first. I will arrange for you to sit with my grandfather and the others. You are welcome to go in."

Luo Qing did not let her parents disturb Feng Zhengming from greeting other guests, and took her parents directly to the private room.

Feng Zhengming was greeting the invited customers in front of the door, and the kitchen was already busy.

Some important dishes require Feng Zhengming to cook, but others are still cooked in the kitchen first.

The guests who had already entered Huiquan Building felt that it was very elegant and comfortable when they saw some of the newly renovated decorations. The overall atmosphere made everyone feel comfortable.

And each private room corresponds to the ancient place name of various places in Qilu, making everyone feel very friendly.

Entering the private room, you can see the photos hanging on the wall inside the private room. Those photos taken by professional photographers, including local scenery or ancient buildings, reveal the care in every place.

Among the guests who came today, there was a table specially invited by Chang Zongfu.

They followed Chang Zongfu into Huiquan Tower and walked into the private room specially prepared for them by Chang Zongfu.

After sitting down, everyone was quite satisfied with the layout of the entire Huiquan Building.

"Old Chang, your investment in this restaurant is really worth it."

"Yes, the decoration here is already very good. When you walk in, you feel like you have returned to a restaurant in ancient times."

"And the chef you hired is young and promising. I heard he was the catering chef at the youth conference?"

"Old Chang, you are really generous. You said before that you would open a top-notch restaurant in Quancheng when you came back this time. This Huiquan Restaurant is the top-notch restaurant in your mouth, right?"

Listening to the praises from his friends, Chang Zongfu felt a little bit unspeakable in his heart.

Of course he knows that the layout of Huiquan Building is great, and he also knows that with Feng Zhengming in the kitchen, the quality of the dishes must be guaranteed, and it is only a matter of time before Huiquan Building becomes the top restaurant in Quan City.

But the problem is that although Chang Zongfu invested money in Huiquan Building, he only holds shares, and the management has nothing to do with him.

What made Chang Zongfu feel most uncomfortable was that Feng Zhengming really revealed a very advanced thinking in everything from renovations to various rearrangements of the private rooms in Huiquan Building.

For example, the private rooms use ancient place names from various parts of the province, and pictures of representative scenery of the corresponding regions are hung in the private rooms.

This kind of design was something Chang Zongfu never thought of. After he asked someone to prepare the photos and sent them to Huiquan Building, today was the first time he saw it. The sense of high-end in this private room was really overwhelming.

The huge enlarged photos of representative scenery, combined with the ancient place names in the private rooms, really give you the illusion of going to the local area.

Now that Chang Zongfu hears repeated compliments from his friends, the more he hears it, the more uncomfortable he feels.

Finally unable to listen any longer, Chang Zongfu said, "Okay, just give me a few compliments. Let's order the food first."

Then Chang Zongfu turned around and shouted: "Waiter, order."

The waiter in charge of their private room immediately brought in the menu.

The menu is placed on the table, which gives everyone a special and high-end feeling.

At the same time, another waiter was already holding a hand copy and preparing to record it.

When Chang Zongfu saw this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Feng Zhengming to arrange the waiter's service so well. He really underestimated him.
