From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

A week seems to be a very long time, but for Feng Zhengming, time is quite tight.

Huiquan Building took over the wedding banquet for the first time, and publicly carried out some publicity. It can be said that countless pairs of eyes in the entire Quan City were watching.

Feng Zhengming must not make any mistakes, especially when it comes to the dishes at the wedding banquet that day.

He wanted to use this wedding banquet to let everyone know that choosing Huiquan Building to host the wedding banquet must be a great value for money.

Most importantly, he wanted to issue an open challenge to several major restaurants.

Huiquanlou’s wedding banquet banquets are so good.

Aren't your big restaurants trying to suppress Huiquan Restaurant just because of their reputation?
Don’t just give discounts at wedding banquets, but also make wedding banquets like Huiquan Tower for everyone to see.

Feng Zhengming was making intensive preparations.

It puts a lot of pressure on several big restaurants in Quancheng.

Because Huiquan Building hosted the high-profile wedding banquet this time, it caused a lot of talk, which naturally brought a lot of business to Huiquan Building.

More and more people began to come to the Huiquan Building hall to eat.

When the hall's daily attendance increased, Luo Qing and He Yunqing quickly launched a meal coupon event.

It can be said that the meal coupon campaign was very powerful at the beginning.

The meal coupon designed by Luo Qing is that if you order three dishes, you will get a cash meal coupon.

It's like saying yes, if you order three dishes, you will get one dish for free.

However, Luo Qing also stipulated on the meal coupons that the meal coupons could not be used on the same day. They had to come back next time and sit in the lobby to use the meal coupons.

As a result, many people began to eat at Huiquan Tower one after another.

Especially some people who entertained guests in the Huiquan Building lobby on weekends. After getting the Huiquan Building meal coupons, they regarded the Huiquan Building hall as a canteen during non-weekends.

When Luo Qing was still designing the meal coupons, she clearly stated it on the meal coupons.

When using meal coupons, the kitchen does not guarantee that Feng Zhengming will cook the food himself.

However, although Feng Zhengming did not cook the food himself, the skills of other young chefs were still good.

So people who come here for meal coupons don’t have any objections to this.

After all, the dining coupon can be used to eat a dish at Huiquanlou for free.

It’s already free. “What else do I need for a bicycle?”

In fact, because of the introduction of meal coupons, Feng Zhengming felt a lot more relaxed and had more time to concentrate on preparing for the wedding banquet.

Because there are so many people with meal tickets, Feng Zhengming doesn't have to turn on the stove all the time.

Most of the cooking in the kitchen is left to other young chefs.

Occasionally, when Gu Zhicheng and others are in a good mood, they will give their apprentices a chance to practice on the stove.

Feng Zhengming also lamented to Luo Qing privately: "The meal voucher method is really good. It frees up a lot of time for me in the kitchen, and it also gives everyone in the kitchen a chance to exercise."

Luo Qing learned that the promotion of meal vouchers had helped Feng Zhengming, and she was very happy.

"I wish I could help you."

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Of course it helped me a lot and made Huiquan Building famous again. Now the hall of Huiquan Building is almost full every day. I really want to see how many big restaurants they have." "

On the other side, through the contact of Cheng Guosheng, the master chefs of several large restaurants gathered together again.

Originally, Cheng Guosheng wanted the old masters to come forward.

But he mentioned it to his master.

Master Wang's answer was firm: "Feng Zhengming and you are considered equals. You juniors are competing with each other. You can show off your skills on your own. Don't always expect us old men to tell you the truth."

Several other master chefs also have the same views as Master Wang.

This incident was first instigated by the master chefs in several big restaurants.

Since Feng Zhengming and Master, you are of the same generation.

You just have to find your own way.

Don't just go home and "call your parents" or "sue the teacher" if you can't fight.

Cheng Guosheng could only bite the bullet and find the master chefs of several big restaurants.

This time, Cheng Guosheng even brought together the chefs from some well-known restaurants in Quancheng.

Even Yan Jianxing from Yan's restaurant was found by Cheng Guosheng.

When Yan Jianxing arrived at the scene, he was a little surprised to see such a posture.

What I was thinking was: Are you creating such a big scene just to target Huiquan Tower?

Another chef who opened a private restaurant at the scene saw Yan Jianxing arriving and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Master Yan is here, how is your business now? I heard that Master Yan is now a permanent resident in your restaurant?"

When Yan Jianxing looked at the other person, he immediately recognized him. The other person's surname was "Wu" and he was the owner of Wu's private restaurant.

Although Wu's private restaurant does not have the reputation of a master chef, Wu's private restaurant is considered to be one of the first private restaurants in Quancheng, and its reputation in Quancheng is not small.

Moreover, Wu's Private Restaurant is a family-owned private restaurant, and the current chef "Wu Xinglei" in front of him is already the third generation of the Wu family.

Yan Jianxing was still very polite and respectful to Wu Xinglei. He didn't have a famous master chef in his family, but he could run a private restaurant in Quancheng well with his craftsmanship alone, which shows that his craftsmanship is really good.

"Hello, Master Wu, my business is okay now. My father doesn't have a permanent restaurant. He is currently busy at the cooking school with Master Cui."

Wu Xinglei said with a smile: "Is it Master Cui's training school? I heard that Master Cui teaches in person, and if Master Yan also goes there, the teaching force will be really strong."

Yan Jianxing nodded: "Yes, Uncle Cui and my dad also want to cultivate more reserve forces for Shandong cuisine."

Then Wu Xinglei lowered his voice and said: "Cheng Guosheng came to see all of us today. I heard that he was going to target Huiquan Tower. Feng Zhengming, the young chef there, is your junior brother."

When he was told this, Yan Jianxing said more generously: "My dad said that everyone has already graduated. How to do business and compete in the future depends on everyone's ability."

Wu Xinglei was stunned by these words.

It seemed that he didn't originally want to hear Yan Jianxing say that.

But after being stunned for a moment, Wu Xinglei came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the masters are still generous. They always hope that our Shandong cuisine can develop better in the competition among everyone, and there is no situation of protecting shortcomings."

While they were chatting, Cheng Guosheng and the master chefs from several big restaurants came in.

Everyone naturally looked at Cheng Guosheng and the others.

Cheng Guosheng was very polite and asked everyone to take a seat first.

After everyone sat down, Cheng Guosheng was naturally the first to speak.

"I invite you all to come today, mainly because Huiquan Building has been so popular recently. Originally, everyone opened their own business and relied on their own abilities, so there was no problem. However, Huiquan Building is now so high-profile, which has affected our business to some extent."

The chefs on the scene looked at each other. At this moment, no one expressed their opinions. In fact, they all had their own thoughts.

With the high profile of Huiquan Tower, the business of several large restaurants will definitely be affected the most.

Private restaurants such as Yan Family Restaurant and Wu Family Restaurant have not actually been affected much.

Several private restaurants are small in scale and rely on their good reputation to attract repeat customers, enough for them to eat. The ones that really need to compete with Feng Zhengming and Huiquan Restaurant are obviously several large restaurants.

Interestingly, because it was Jubinyuan who first took the initiative to challenge Feng Zhengming, Jubinyuan was always the first to bear the brunt.

Cheng Guosheng now feels like an ant in the hot pot.

Now, no matter who comes to eat at Jubinyuan, they want to compare Jubinyuan with Huiquan Tower.

Jubinyuan has always been famous for its explosions.

But now the hotpots at Huiquan Building are no worse than those at Jubinyuan.

The key point is that the food produced at Huiquanlou is much more stable than that at Jubinyuan.

This is really a huge blow to Jubinyuan.

You are also eating hot dishes, but your skills are not much better than others, and the production of key dishes is always uneven, which makes it easy for diners from all walks of life to compare and discuss.

Cheng Guosheng got angry in the kitchen more than once because of this, and even often watched in the kitchen himself.

But this technique is prone to overturning.

No matter how skilled a chef is, he may overturn his job if he loses concentration.

If we put it in the past, Jubinyuan would have turned over a little bit, and maybe it wouldn’t have been noticed by anyone who wasn’t a gourmand.

Now that Huiquan Tower exists, such a comparison magnifies the small overturn of Jubinyuan.

Being stared at with a magnifying glass to look for overturning.

Under such great pressure, Cheng Guosheng almost overturned several times.

Cheng Guosheng is so active and wants to rally everyone to unite to suppress Huiquan Tower and target Feng Zhengming. It is really due to the heavy pressure on his heart.

After talking about the opening, Cheng Guosheng saw that no one spoke.

He had no choice but to continue: "I came to see you this time in the hope that we can all join hands to teach Huiquanlou a lesson so that Feng Zhengming knows how to respect his seniors."

When Cheng Guosheng said this, someone couldn't help but speak.

"Lao Cheng, regardless of age, Feng Zhengming is Master Yan's apprentice and is considered our equal, so we can't be considered his seniors, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately followed the sound and looked over.

When Yan Jianxing saw the other party, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

The name of the person who said this was Fan Chengxiang.

He dared to speak to Cheng Guosheng like this because not only was he older than Cheng Guosheng, but he was also the apprentice of Master Cui.

For a long time, almost every master and apprentice would call Fan Chengxiang "Big Brother" when they saw him.

So when he spoke, Cheng Guosheng did not dare to refute him directly.

He could only be silent for a moment and said: "Sir, Feng Zhengming is our equal, so he should give us senior brothers some respect. He cannot disrupt the market as he pleases."

Fan Chengxiang asked: "How did he disrupt the market?"

Before Cheng Guosheng and others present could speak.

Fan Chengxiang continued: "I think he is doing very well now.

What is the situation of Huiquan Building? We all know very well. Isn’t everything he is doing now trying to make Huiquan Building run better and better? "

After a slight pause, Fan Chengxiang praised with some appreciation: "I think what he is doing now is actually very good, and it can be regarded as an example for all of us, letting us know that restaurant management can be like this."

When Fan Chengxiang said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.

At this time, Wu Xinglei suddenly clapped his hands and applauded Fan Chengxiang.

"My senior brother is right. I also think that Feng Zhengming is a very interesting person and his business skills are very good. He can think of publishing Huiquan Tower in newspapers and constantly increasing the popularity of Huiquan Tower.

To be honest, if he hadn't used this skill of his, I would have never imagined it. "

After all, Wu Xinglei's identity is different from that of most people present.

Those present, including Yan Jianxing, are basically the apprentices of the old masters.

Only Wu Xinglei didn't learn from any old master. He learned the craft completely from his grandfather and father at home, so he didn't have any worries when he spoke.

After Wu Xinglei spoke, some other restaurant chefs also agreed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Cheng Guosheng quickly opened his mouth to try to bring back the topic of condemning Feng Zhengming.

"Elder brother, Master Wu, you are wrong to say that. What do restaurants and restaurants rely on? They should rely on craftsmanship. What we represent is Shandong cuisine.

Feng Zhengming's approach makes others think that all our Shandong cuisine chefs are like him and like to talk too much.

That would be very bad for the reputation of our Shandong cuisine chefs. "

Fan Chengxiang asked with a smile: "So Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship is not good? But I haven't heard of anyone questioning Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship?"

These words made Cheng Guosheng a little uncomfortable.

How could Cheng Guosheng not know whether Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship was good or not?

Since the opening of Huiquanlou, there has never been any news of customers being dissatisfied with the dishes.

It has already been shown that Feng Zhengming is not only good at his craftsmanship, he is also very strict in the quality control of the dishes in the kitchen.

In such a comparison, Cheng Guosheng, the current chef of Jubinyuan, is really outclassed by Feng Zhengming in all aspects.

Seeing that Cheng Guosheng's expression was wrong, Fan Chengxiang said: "Old Cheng, I think what we need to do now is not to work together to suppress the limelight of Huiquan Tower, but to reflect on ourselves against Huiquan Tower.

We are not doing well enough in many places. Not only have we not passed on the techniques of Shandong cuisine well, but we have also failed to set a good example in promoting Shandong cuisine. "

If Feng Zhengming were present, he would definitely applaud Fan Chengxiang's words.

He would even say: He is worthy of being the senior brother of the masters in Quancheng. He speaks so well.

Fan Chengxiang completely dominated the small meeting organized by Cheng Guosheng with a few words.

He said quite seriously: "In a few days, the wedding banquet hosted by Huiquan House will begin. At that time, we should all take a good look and see how Huiquan House holds a wedding banquet.

If possible, we should learn more in the future and prepare all the wedding banquets.

Don't let those who have eaten at the wedding banquet yell at us behind our backs for cheating on the wedding banquet and making dirty money while others are holding wedding events. "

Fan Chengxiang's words were almost like pointing his nose at several big restaurants.

The master chefs from several big restaurants invited by Cheng Guosheng quietly looked at Cheng Guosheng.

Everyone couldn't help but want to curse him for this organization.

Are you asking us to come and be scolded with you?

After Fan Chengxiang finished talking about the wedding banquet, he then expressed his thoughts: "We didn't invite Feng Zhengming here today, but I think we can invite Feng Zhengming next time.

The master chefs are getting older and older. In the future, Shandong cuisine in Quancheng and even Qilu will depend on us to inherit and carry forward it.

We should learn from the masters, be tolerant, discuss and learn from each other, and make progress together. "

This time after Fan Chengxiang finished speaking, Wu Xinglei and Yan Jianxing took the lead, and almost everyone applauded him together. (End of chapter)
