From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Feng Zhengming walked quietly into the cashier, came to his grandfather, and suddenly stretched his head in front of his grandfather.

"Master, didn't you go play chess today?"

Of course, Feng Zhengming didn't care about his grandfather. On the contrary, he was quite busy now and still got up early every day to make breakfast for his grandfather.

Even in the early days when he took over Huiquan Building, he would ride a tricycle and take his grandfather to buy groceries.

However, Huiquan Building became busy later.

In order not to increase the burden on Feng Zhengming, grandpa stopped going shopping with Feng Zhengming and started playing chess with some neighbors.

Even a while ago, grandpa started going fishing at the lake with his old neighbor.

From what the third senior brother said today, Feng Zhengming knew that his grandfather was often working in the restaurant during this time.

Although he didn't talk to his grandfather, Feng Zhengming could probably guess why his grandfather was at the restaurant.

Grandpa still cares about Feng Zhengming, but he is afraid that going to Huiquan Tower will cause trouble to him who is busy.

So grandpa comes to Ganfanpu every day because he wants to know about Feng Zhengming and Huiquan Building through Ganfanpu.

Grandpa was also a little surprised to see Feng Zhengming suddenly appear.

"Why did you come back? Huiquan Building is closed at night?"

Feng Zhengming said with a playful smile: "Sir, didn't I want to invite you to Huiquan Building to guide us in our work?"

After hearing this, a smile instantly broke out on the old man's face, and the wrinkles bloomed and compacted together with the smile.

Feng Zong chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about grandpa. Grandpa didn't go to play chess with them because the weather was a bit too hot. It's nice to sit in the dry rice shop to cool off and watch the bustle of people coming and going. of."

When grandpa said this, looking at the contented smile on grandpa's face, it was not difficult to tell that this was what grandpa said sincerely.

Feng Zhengming still had a certain understanding of his grandfather's thoughts.

I know what the Feng Family Restaurant means to the old man.

It can be seen that the Feng Family Restaurant has become lively again and has become the most popular restaurant in Quancheng today, and has even become the canteen of many people in Quancheng.

Feng Zonggu was really happy and proud of his grandson Feng Zhengming.

The old man was sitting in the dry rice shop, watching the bustling business, which was the most satisfying thing for him.

Feng Zhengming still did not give up: "Master, let me go to Huiquan Building tonight to have a look. Huiquan Building is different now. Can you go and see how I have changed it?"

Seeing that Feng Zhengming was sincere and wanted to go to Huiquan Tower for a visit, Feng Zonggu finally relented.

"Okay, you said so, I'll come with you tonight and have a look."

Feng Zhengming immediately said: "Okay, sir, shall we walk?"

After hearing this, the old man immediately glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"What time is it? Why don't you go back and get busy first, and I'll go over and check it out later."

Feng Zhengming said: "Sir, since you are going, let's go together. The dry rice shop will soon open for business. There are many people. Please forget what you are going to do."

"You brat, you're starting to dislike grandpa because he's old and has a bad memory, right?" The old man said, raising his hand to hit Feng Zhengming on the head.

It turned out that he didn't dodge or evade, but it made the old man reluctant to take action.

"Okay, okay, I really can't defeat you, kid. Let's go. Let's go to Huiquan Tower together."

When Feng Zhengming saw that his grandfather had agreed, he added, "Master, don't be anxious. Please sit down for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. I always want to say hello to my third brother."

Feng Zonggu immediately said: "By the way, Xiao Xia, who works as the back cook of the restaurant, and the new Xiao Sun, are you going to let them stay here?"

Feng Zhengming asked strangely: "What's wrong? Are they doing a bad job here?"

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that their craftsmanship is ruined by being placed in a dry rice shop?"

Grandpa was often at the restaurant during this time and knew the situation here very well.

I also know a little bit about the craftsmanship of Xia Hui and Sun Decai in the back kitchen.

In the old man's opinion, the skills of the two of them were left in the back kitchen of the dry rice shop.

"The two of them have very solid basic skills. Xiaoxia has been following you before. They should follow you back to Huiquan Tower."

Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "Master, of course I know that they are very good at craftsmanship, so I let them work at the restaurant."

These words made Grandpa a little confused: "Why should you let these two good craftsmen stay in the dry rice shop?"

Feng Zhengming explained seriously: "Do you think, if Third Brother and I went to attend Uncle Wang's farewell banquet today, do we need someone to support the lunch shop's business?

You see, with Xia Hui and Sun Decai here, can the business of Ganfanpu be very safe? "

After being told this, the old man thought about it and finally understood.

"Actually, dry rice shops mainly sell meat. Not many people usually order small stir-fried dishes, and even if they order small stir-fried dishes, they are only for rice dishes. It doesn't matter if the cooking skills are inferior."

Hearing what his grandfather said, Feng Zhengming naturally knew what his grandfather was thinking.

Grandpa hopes that all the good cooks will be given to Feng Zhengming and used in Huiquan Building.

This way, the food produced at Huiquan Restaurant can be more guaranteed.

Therefore, even though Huiquan Tower's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, it can still maintain a good reputation.

So grandpa would rather sacrifice the stable reputation of stir-fried dishes in the back kitchen of Ganfanpu.

I just hope that Feng Zhengming’s Huiquan Building can be better.

Understanding his grandfather's thoughts, Feng Zhengming was really moved.

Obviously, the old man sits at the restaurant every day and rarely goes to Huiquan Tower. However, he still hears a lot of news about Huiquan Tower through various channels.

Grandpa pays attention to the news about Huiquan Tower, so he naturally knows what Feng Zhengming is doing in Huiquan Tower.

The old man doesn't really understand Feng Zhengming's operations to attract more topics.

However, the old man still believed simply that the best chefs should be given to Huiquan House, which would definitely make Huiquan House even better.

During this period, the old man was in the rice cooker every day, and he naturally saw that Xia Hui and Sun Decai were very capable.

Feng Zonggu directly told Feng Zhengming to transfer Xia Hui and Sun Decai back to Huiquan Tower.

Moved, Feng Zhengming squatted in front of his grandfather and reached out to hold his grandfather's hand.

"Sir, I know you are good for me and hope that my Huiquan Building business will get better and better, so it doesn't matter if you would rather work in the restaurant."

Feng Zonggu looked at Feng Zhengming and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted first by Feng Zhengming.

"Sir, I understand your thoughts. I don't want Huiquan Tower to affect the business of the restaurant.

You may not know that although Huiquan Building has begun to make a profit, in terms of net profit, Huiquan Building cannot compare with Ganfan Shop.

Come tonight, I'll ask Uncle He to show you the accounts and you will know that our most profitable business now is the restaurant. "

These words surprised the old man.

After thinking about it carefully after being surprised, Feng Zonggu also wanted to understand. Fengjiagang Restaurant’s business is always very good every day.

Especially because some people regard the dry rice shop as a big canteen, and those people who come to eat every day are the biggest guarantee for the dry rice shop's business.

In a seemingly dry rice shop, a piece of meat only costs 5 cents, and a portion of rice or hand-made noodles is also 5 cents.

But although the things are sold cheaply, the rice shop has to sell so much in a day.

Naturally, the dry rice shop can make enough profits.

Even though those who sell pork in dry rice shops don’t make much money, they still make money from all kinds of stir-fries.

There is also a late-night snack served at the restaurant, which has become famous in Quancheng.

There will be more people coming to the dry rice shop for late night snacks in the evening.

Feng Zhengming said seriously: "Master, the current flow of water in the dry rice shop in one day is almost enough to work in Huiquanlou for a week, so the craftsmanship in the dry rice shop must be guaranteed."

Hearing this, Feng Zonggu couldn't help but sigh softly: "I really didn't expect that you can sell so well with a handful of meat."

Feng Zhengming laughed and said, "Isn't this a good craftsmanship passed down by me?"

These words immediately amused the old man.

"Hahaha, don't flatter me here. Don't you want to go into the kitchen? Go and have a look. When you come out, we will go to Huiquan Building to have a look."

Feng Zhengming agreed, got up and walked into the kitchen.

The old man looked at Feng Zhengming's back, feeling quite satisfied with his grandson.

Now Feng Zhengming's achievements in all aspects have surpassed Feng Zonggu's by many.

When Feng Zonggu was young, he never thought that one day the Feng Family Restaurant would become so big.

He raised his head and looked at the old sign hanging in the dry rice shop. The old man was really proud of Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming entered the back kitchen and saw that the third senior brother had returned and was instructing Xia Hui and Sun Decai to lead people to work.

After watching for a while, Feng Zhengming couldn't help but smile and said: "Third brother, can't you tell, you are now very much like a chef."

Hearing the sound, Yang Bin turned to look at Feng Zhengming.

Then Yang Bin smiled and said: "Hahaha, our chef came in to inspect the work."

Feng Zhengming was immediately speechless by his third senior brother.

At the same time, Xia Hui, Sun Decai, Shen Rongsen who was working, and two apprentices also turned to look at Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming smiled and greeted everyone separately.

"Old Shen, how are you doing here? Do you want to go to Huiquan Tower and work with me for a few days?"

Shen Rongsen immediately smiled and said: "In a restaurant as big as Huiquan Building, I won't show off my shame. I'm quite good in the kitchen behind the restaurant."

Feng Zhengming asked Xia Hui again: "Classmate Xiaoxia, do you want to go back with me?"

Xia Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "I'm not going back now. If I want to go back, I'll have to wait until the end of the year. We have a big competition. I want to go back in a dignified manner."

These words made everyone feel a little in awe.

Feng Zhengming and the third senior brother looked at each other, and Yang Bin said with a smile: "Look, this is the backbone of our restaurant. You don't need to take it back with us. We have to go back with dignity and dignity based on our craftsmanship."

Feng Zhengming then asked two former apprentices from Huiquan Building: "How are you two doing here? Have you made any progress in your craftsmanship? Have you learned well from your Master Yang?"

The two former apprentices from Huiquan Tower looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and then they both answered in unison: "Study hard."

Feng Zhengming continued: "If you study hard, will you two also participate in the competition at the end of that year?"

This time the two apprentices were obviously hesitant.

Obviously, they are somewhat unconfident compared with the apprentices in the back kitchen of Huiquan Building.

Yang Bin immediately said: "Bei, what are you two afraid of? At the end of the year, you two go and compare the apprentices from Huiquan Building for me, and get me the two apprentices from Huiquan Building."

These words were an encouragement, but also put a lot of pressure on the two apprentices.

The two apprentices were still hesitant, but finally agreed.

Finally, Feng Zhengming looked at Sun Decai: "How are you? Are you still used to working in a restaurant during this time? Do you feel that you have suffered a loss by coming to my internship?"

Sun Decai said without hesitation: "It's very good. I like it here. I'm very comfortable with the atmosphere of working as a cook in a restaurant."

Yang Bin smiled and said: "Like Sun Hai, he is a down-to-earth and capable person. Moreover, his brain works faster than Sun Hai's and he also has a bright eye. Needless to say, he can do many things by himself."

Feng Zhengming nodded after hearing this: "Not bad, it seems that the progress is very fast."

"Chef, can I participate in the year-end competition?"

Feng Zhengming thought for a while and said, "Originally, according to the rules I set before, you should have worked here for a full year."

Speaking of this, after a short pause, Feng Zhengming saw a hint of discouragement on Sun Decai's face.

He then said to Sun Decai: "However, it is impossible for you to intern for a full year this time, so you can also participate in the year-end competition.

When the time comes, you and Xia Hui will compete with the batch of apprentices from Huiquan Building. If you win, then you two will go back to Huiquan Building. The one with the lowest score from Huiquan Building will work in the restaurant for one year. "

After hearing this, Yang Bin couldn't help but ask: "Zhengming, if you arrange it like this, will those young people be unhappy? Will they run away?"

Feng Zhengming laughed: "Run away? Okay, then let them go. Huiquan Building is already famous now, are we afraid that we will not be able to recruit new people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Decai quickly said: "Yes, some of my former classmates now regret not coming to Huiquan Building."

Yang Bin remembered some situations that his master and senior brother had said.

In his heart, he admired Feng Zhengming even more.

This little junior brother of mine is indeed a "god" and can really control everyone.

Students who graduated from vocational schools may not have wanted to go to Huiquan Building.

I think it would be better to go to some big restaurants like Jufengde, Jubinyuan and Taifenglou.

Some people even prefer to intern as chefs in canteens.

Now that Huiquan Building is becoming more and more famous, those interns naturally regret it.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said to Sun Decai: "They want to enter Huiquan Building now? Then they must first work in the kitchen of the restaurant for at least one year, otherwise they are not qualified to enter the kitchen of Huiquan Building."

After hearing this, Yang Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "If you ask them all to come to Ganfantan first, our Ganfantan can't have so many people, right?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? When there are more people, we can open a branch."

Yang Bin was a little surprised to hear that a branch was opening.

Then Feng Zhengming said: "Besides, there are more people in the kitchen. Third brother, you can relax and just direct them to do their work."

Yang Bin looked at the people in the kitchen and immediately understood that the new apprentice still had to take care of himself, so he could only smile bitterly again and said: "You are the boss, you have the final say." (End of Chapter)
