From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Just as Feng Zhengming and his friends were quietly enjoying the beautiful wetland scenery before them.

Suddenly a gunshot woke Feng Zhengming and others.

Ding Yuan, Gao Yongfu and Hou Dong immediately protected Feng Zhengming and looked vigilantly in the direction where the gunshots came from.

The gunshot startled Feng Zhengming as he was not mentally prepared.

Ding Yuan carefully judged it and whispered, "It should be a hunting rifle. He came here to shoot birds."

As soon as he finished speaking, several more gunshots were heard.

Hou Dong said almost immediately: "It's a pistol."

Ding Yuan and Gao Yongfu frowned, feeling that something seemed a little strange.

Feng Zhengming calmed down at this time: "This is a wetland where migratory birds live. It should be considered a protected area. Someone can come in with a gun to shoot birds. I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person. Let's not get close. Let's retreat first and find the person in charge of the protected area here."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, the other three nodded in agreement.

The four people did not continue to go deeper into the wetland, nor did they go directly to find the person who fired the shooter. Instead, they quickly exited the wetland.

Then, the four people quickly found the police department responsible for security in the wetland reserve.

The people in charge of the wetland protection area here immediately went out when they heard the gunshots.

Feng Zhengming and the others took the initiative to follow.

Originally, the other party didn't want Feng Zhengming and others to participate.

After all, it is indeed very dangerous when the other party has a gun.

But later I heard that Ding Yuan and the other three were soldiers.

The other party also agreed to allow Feng Zhengming and others to join.

The group immediately returned to the wetland reserve.

Then Ding Yuan, Gao Yongfu and Hou Dong quickly locked the direction of pursuit based on the direction from which the previous gunshots came.

We didn't chase them far before we saw a group of poachers.

Almost every one of them was carrying a woven bag. From the bloodstains on the bags, it could be seen that they were filled with various migratory birds they had shot.

The person in charge of the protected area here immediately wanted to rush over.

But he was stopped by Feng Zhengming.

"We can't rush in. Have you forgotten? They have guns in their hands. I think we should have a few of us get in front of them first, and then we can surround them and subdue them together when they are not paying attention."

When people in charge of the wetlands heard Feng Zhengming's words, they were all stunned.

Then one of the older men nodded in agreement.

"Just listen to him. The other party has weapons in their hands. Everyone must be careful. When you start, you must first get rid of the weapons in their hands."

Afterwards, Ding Yuan and Gao Yongfu led a few people to quickly get in front of the poachers.

Hou Dong still stayed with Feng Zhengming, mainly to protect his safety.

The group of people slowly narrowed the encirclement.

Wait until the poachers are almost surrounded.

At the command, everyone rushed out almost at the same time.

As expected of their military backgrounds, Ding Yuan and Gao Yongfu were very fast and they were also very ruthless in their attacks.

Without giving the other party a chance to react, he had already subdued him and disarmed the gun in his hand.

Hou Dong also took action under Feng Zhengming's order, and with the same quick, accurate and ruthless action, he helped a person responsible for protecting the wetlands and subdued one of the poachers.

After all the guns were confiscated, the poachers immediately became discouraged.

All the poachers were caught and all the migratory birds they poached were seized.

This group of poachers were really caught red-handed, and there was absolutely no way to argue.

This incident quickly alarmed the relevant departments.

Feng Zhengming and others were left behind to testify.

As a result, within two days, someone from the province came specifically.

In order to catch poachers, a large number of hunted migratory birds were seized from them.

After people came from the province, even the country was alarmed.

Feng Zhengming and his companions had never imagined that they would encounter such a major case when they were merely passing through a migratory bird wetland at the mouth of the Yellow River.

When Nature News reported the story, Feng Zhengming and others were also interviewed by the TV station.

Especially after learning Feng Zhengming's identity, both the province and CCTV paid great attention to Feng Zhengming.

He was forced to stay in Dongying for several days and accepted several interviews.

He was also awarded a commendation by the province.

When Feng Zhengming learned that he was going to be commended, he quickly postponed it, saying that it was mainly because of the efforts made by his companions Ding Yuan and the other two, and the staff of the Wetland Management Office who were protecting migratory birds needed more commendation and encouragement.

The two grandfathers in Quancheng saw the relevant news and were also shocked by Feng Zhengming and his friends' experience.

Grandpa Situ smiled and praised: "Zhengming and his friends are really lucky to have done such a great thing."

Grandpa Feng shook his head and said, "They were too reckless. The other party had a gun in his hand. We shouldn't have rushed up to chase him like that. If they were discovered and shot at by the other party, it would be very dangerous."

After hearing this, Grandpa Situ also felt that it was indeed quite dangerous.

"It's very dangerous. These poachers are more vicious when they have guns in their hands."

Grandpa Feng sighed: "In the past, no one knew how to protect these things. In the early years, hunting of these things was particularly severe. Many of the birds that were there before were killed."

Grandpa Situ nodded: "This time it was indeed a bit too bad. So many migratory birds were seized from those people. This kind of thing really cannot be tolerated."

Feng Zhengming and his team helped to arrest the criminals in this case of poaching migratory birds.

It can be said that this is indeed a rather large case.

Not only did they catch the criminals red-handed on the spot, but they also seized several large woven bags of migratory birds.

Later, after interrogation, the police found several bags of unsold migratory birds from the place where the poachers gave their confession.

Some of them have even been left for too long and started to stink.

What shocked everyone even more was that a large number of guns and ammunition were seized.

These poachers actually made their own hunting rifles and pistols, and even made a lot of bullets.

This changes the nature of the entire case.

It made the country pay full attention to it all of a sudden.

A special task force was set up to investigate the entire incident.

And also strengthen the protection of wetlands where migratory birds live.

Perhaps Feng Zhengming himself did not expect that his long hiking trip and the accidental encounter with this migratory bird poaching case would actually change the province's attitude towards the management of migratory bird habitat wetlands.

In addition, Feng Zhengming took a lot of photos of wetlands, and he also took the initiative to show them when he was interviewed by the TV station.

I hope that TV stations can do more publicity to let everyone know the importance of wetland protection.

Let everyone see more of the beauty brought by the migratory birds in the wetlands.

When the interview was over, Feng Zhengming did not ask for any commendation from the province or city. He led Ding Yuan and the others away and continued his journey.

Next, Feng Zhengming and his team walked eastward along the coast.

After the news was broadcast, many people were still discussing how Feng Zhengming and his team helped solve the largest migratory bird poaching case.

Feng Zhengming and his team have arrived in Yancheng, which is also the city where the sixth senior brother Zhang Minghai is located.

When Feng Zhengming and his friends found Donglai Restaurant.

Zhang Minghai learned that his junior apprentice brother had arrived, and immediately came out from the kitchen to greet him. "Hey, Zhengming, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

Seeing the Sixth Senior Brother, Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "Aren't you trying to give you a surprise, Sixth Brother?"

Then he explained the situation to Brother Six: "We walked all the way here and we don't have a phone, so we can't notify you."

Zhang Minghai sighed: "I heard from Senior Brother and the others that they really admire you."

Feng Zhengming took a look at the business situation of the Donglai Restaurant where his sixth senior brother worked.

He also praised his sixth senior brother: "Sixth brother, your business is very good."

Zhang Minghai immediately expressed his gratitude to Feng Zhengming.

"I have to thank you for your advice. I gained a lot of inspiration from you. After I came back, I improved some dishes and created some new ones. So now my business is doing well."

Hu Feng, the owner of Donglai Hotel, also came over quickly.

"Oh, our top chef is here. Your presence makes our restaurant shine."

The other party's exaggerated words made Feng Zhengming not know how to respond.

It was Sixth Senior Brother Zhang Minghai who stepped forward to help smooth things over and make introductions.

"This is the owner of our restaurant, and also my boss, his name is Hu Feng."

Hu Feng immediately corrected Zhang Minghao with a smile.

"Lao Zhang, I am not your boss now. We are partners now. We are on the same level."

Feng Zhengming was a little surprised that his sixth senior brother had become a partner.

But on second thought, Sixth Senior Brother is now very skilled.

And it seems that the Donglai Restaurant cannot do without Sixth Senior Brother.

From this perspective, this boss named Hu Feng really knows how to do business and be a human being.

Zhang Minghai remains humble.

"I don't deserve it. Although I have shares, except for the kitchen, everything else in the restaurant depends on you. In the end, I am just a boss in name only."

Feng Zhengming didn't wait for Hu Feng to speak, he smiled and spoke first.

"Sixth brother, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. You and Boss Hu each have your own strengths. If you two work together, wouldn't it be just right for the business of this Donglai Restaurant to get better and better?"

When Hu Feng heard this, he smiled and expressed his agreement.

"That's right, it's true that our top chef is good at talking. Now the Donglai Restaurant can't do without you, Old Zhang. I'm just here to help entertain the guests."

Feng Zhengming laughed again and made a joke to his sixth senior brother and Hu Feng.

"Alright, alright. When I was in Quancheng, everyone said I was too modest. But after coming to your place, I found that Boss Hu and my Sixth Brother were the truly modest ones. I'm really not as modest as you guys."

As soon as this joke was made, everyone laughed, and Sixth Brother and Hu Feng were no longer modest.

Then Hu Feng would arrange accommodation for Feng Zhengming and the others.

But Sixth Senior Brother Zhang Minghai hopes that Feng Zhengming can live with him at home.

The brothers can still have a lot to talk about during the two nights.

Feng Zhengming decided to let Ding Yuan and the other three stay in the hotel arranged by Hu Feng.

He went back home with his sixth senior brother.

On the way home with Sixth Senior Brother Zhang Minghai, the two brothers chatted a lot.

Feng Zhengming was still quite concerned about Sixth Senior Brother’s current situation in the restaurant.

Zhang Minghai did not hide anything from his junior fellow apprentice.

"Hu Feng is a good boss. He treats me very well and helped me get a three-bedroom apartment. Now my senior brother's house is bigger, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to come home and live with me."

After hearing this, Feng Zhengming smiled with satisfaction and congratulated his senior brother.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu. With such a good boss, your career will definitely get better and better in the future."

Zhang Minghai was indeed very grateful to Hu Feng.

Hu Feng was not only his mentor, but also treated him very well.

Not only did he buy him a house.

The key point is that Hu Feng also helped Zhang Minghai solve the problem of his children’s schooling.

Let Zhang Minghai's son and daughter go to school in Yancheng.

When Zhang Minghai mentioned this, he became even more grateful to Hu Feng.

"Zhengming, you know that your sister-in-law and I are both from the village. Now we are both working in Yancheng City, so we want to arrange for our children to go to school in the city. It has always been difficult to do so in our hometown. In the end, it was Hu Feng who helped us to get it done."

Hearing this, Feng Zhengming was really surprised.

"Boss Hu is so capable?"

Zhang Minghai smiled and explained: "It's not his ability, he just helps to thread the needle, the key is our craftsmanship."

It turned out that Hu Feng had attended a reception dinner hosted by a city leader.

Then let Zhang Minghao perform well.

Afterwards, the city leaders naturally wanted to meet Zhang Minghao.

I learned that Zhang Minghai and Feng Zhengming were brothers, and both learned from Master Yan in Quancheng.

The city leaders naturally attach great importance to Zhang Minghai.

Later, I learned about Zhang Minghai and his wife’s household registration problems, especially their children’s schooling issues.

The city helped solve the household registration problem by introducing talents.

Naturally, the problem of Zhang Minghai's son and daughter going to school was also solved.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Sixth brother, you are the best. You and your wife have a son and a daughter, and you have a stable job here. I envy you."

Zhang Minghai immediately persuaded Feng Zhengming.

"Don't envy me. How are you and Luo Qing doing? You two have known each other for such a long time. I think Luo Qing is a really good girl. She is devoted to you. You should get married soon. Then you can have a son and a daughter."

Feng Zhengming smiled and responded: "We can't rush this matter for now. We are all busy right now."

Zhang Minghai also sighed: "Indeed, your status is different now. You are the top scholar in the country, so you must be quite busy."

Hearing this, Feng Zhengming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Sixth brother, even you want to use this to criticize me?"

Zhang Minghai suddenly laughed.

The two brothers arrived downstairs at Zhang Minghai's house.

Although Zhang Minghai wanted to stop him, Feng Zhengming still bought some fruits and gifts to take with him.

This made Zhang Minghai very dissatisfied: "What do you mean? Why do you take these things to my senior brother's house?"

Feng Zhengming replied seriously: "These are not for you, but for my sister-in-law and the children. If you don't accept them, I won't go up."

In the end, Zhang Minghai was still caught by his junior fellow apprentice.

I still agreed to accept these things that my junior brother brought to me when he came to my house for the first time.

However, he also warned his junior fellow apprentice not to do this in the future.

The two brothers went upstairs together, and when they entered the door.

Zhang Minghai's wife and two children stared curiously at Feng Zhengming who came in.

Mainly because after the long journey, Feng Zhengming is now completely different from what they saw on TV.

So when he entered the house, Zhang Minghai's wife and two children did not dare to recognize him. (End of this chapter)
