From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

The four brothers had dinner together, and naturally talked about Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing's marriage.

When talking about getting married, the three sisters-in-law gave Luo Qing some advice on how she could make the wedding better.

The eldest and third sisters-in-law suggested that we should have a more traditional wedding.

“Although traditional weddings have many rules, they are also lively.”

"That's right. Back then, your third brother and I held a traditional wedding in our hometown. It was a grand and magnificent ceremony."

Feng Zhengming smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, when you and Brother San held such a grand ceremony in the countryside, didn't the villagers talk about it?"

The third sister-in-law responded immediately: "What can we say? Whose family doesn't marry off their daughters? If they say something about us, then won't their family hold a grand ceremony when the time comes?"

Then the third sister-in-law said helplessly: "But the conditions were limited at the beginning. When it came time to cook, it was still your third brother who took charge of the cooking."

This made all the fellow disciples laugh.

The third brother laughed helplessly: "There is no other way. The cooks in the village are not very good. I can only do it myself."

Then the third brother looked at Feng Zhengming again: "Don't worry, we have enough chefs by then, and we guarantee that you won't have to do it yourself."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "It's fun to do it yourself."

Hearing this, the three brothers looked at each other.

Then the eldest brother said without question: "You are absolutely not allowed to come to the kitchen when you get married."

Before Feng Zhengming could open his mouth to argue, the third senior brother said, "Yes, you are not allowed to come in."

The fifth brother immediately followed up: "Just be a good groom, we are in the kitchen, what are you worried about?"

The third brother added: "Are you not confident in our craftsmanship? You are now the top scholar in the country, so you look down on your brothers, right?"

Since the Third Senior Brother had said so, Feng Zhengming could only agree obediently; "Okay, I won't go into the kitchen."

The three sisters-in-law also reminded Luo Qing to keep a good eye on Feng Zhengming when the time comes.

Seeing that she had the support of her sisters-in-law, Luo Qing smiled and pretended to twist Feng Zhengming's ear.

"Did you hear that? Now my brothers and sisters-in-law are on my side, so you have to listen to me in the future."

Seeing this, the brothers and sisters-in-law all smiled and supported Luo Qing.

Feng Zhengming responded helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you from now on."

Luo Qing let go of her hand with satisfaction: "From now on, listen to me when you are home, and you can make the decision when you are outside."

The eldest sister-in-law nodded: "That's right, women are the masters of the home, and we can't listen to the men in the family."

This statement was deeply recognized by the third and fifth sisters-in-law present.

Next, the sisters-in-law taught Luo Qing a lot of experience in “controlling her husband”.

Maybe if Feng Zhengming and his senior brothers hadn’t been present.

The sisters-in-law even wanted to teach Luo Qing some experience on wedding night.

The lunch ended with the laughter of the sisters-in-law and Luo Qing.

In the afternoon, Feng Zhengming and his fellow brothers stayed in the kitchen to prepare food for the New Year's Eve dinner, while Luo Qing took her sisters-in-law to go shopping.

Feng Zhengming also reminded Luo Qing to take his sisters-in-law to buy new clothes and not to be reluctant to spend money.

Luo Qing responded: "You don't need to remind me, I know that I am going to take my sisters-in-law to buy clothes. I will definitely not let them spend money, otherwise they will definitely not be willing to buy them."

Feng Zhengming wanted to remind her, but Luo Qing spoke first.

"And the brothers' children and the elderly also need to buy it. I know all about it, so you don't need to remind me."

Seeing that Luo Qing understood everything, Feng Zhengming didn't say anything more.

After Luo Qing took the sisters-in-law away, Feng Zhengming and his fellow brothers began to prepare dishes in the kitchen.

The brothers and sisters are planning to make some different dishes for everyone during the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Feng Zhengming said: "During the Chinese New Year, everyone should be happy and harmonious. It is not necessary to have abalone and sea cucumber. The main thing is to make everyone eat happily and comfortably."

The third brother immediately said, "Then there should be pork elbows. We can't celebrate the New Year without pork elbows."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Of course we have pork elbows, braised in white sauce, braised in soy sauce, or with rock sugar. I'll have one of each if you want."

The fifth brother was shocked when he heard this: "No, one of each, isn't that too much? So many pork elbows? Can we finish them all?"

The eldest brother said, "We should be able to finish it. There are so many people this year. Not only Zhengming and Luo Qing's families, but also our three families. And Lao He's family will also come. With so many people, we will definitely be able to finish it."

The fifth brother thought about it and it seemed to be right: "But we can't just eat the elbow."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, we can't just eat meat, we need some other dishes."

Speaking of this, Feng Zhengming suddenly remembered a dish that everyone ate together during the Chinese New Year.

"Oh, by the way, we can have a pot of braised beef. We don't need to use a small clay pot, we can use a big casserole instead. Each table can have a pot, add potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and pitted dates. Isn't it a great dish to eat hot during the New Year?"

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, the fellow brothers nodded in agreement.

The fifth brother thought for a moment: "Would you like some stir-fry?"

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, the eldest senior brother shook his head and said, "Cooking is not that important. When everyone arrives, we can just quickly cook a few dishes in the kitchen."

Feng Zhengming agreed with what the eldest brother said: "Yes, during the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone starts drinking. If there are too many dishes, they will all get cold after a while. It is better to cook less and mainly roast, stew, simmer, boil, and steam them."

This statement was unanimously agreed by the senior brothers.

You can drink some wine first, and there are actually various cold dishes.

The roasted, stewed, simmered, boiled and steamed dishes served are mainly for the elderly, women and children.

Moreover, if there are too many dishes to cook, Feng Zhengming and his fellow brothers will be busy and will not be able to sit at the table in time to eat with everyone, which may affect everyone's mood for the New Year's Eve dinner.

So after discussion among fellow apprentices, the main dishes were basically roasted, stewed, simmered, boiled and steamed.

There are not only various fish and meat dishes, but also some soups, meat and vegetable dishes, and some vegetarian dishes.

This can also ensure that the New Year’s Eve dinner is nutritionally balanced.

When Feng Zhengming was discussing the New Year’s Eve dinner menu with his senior brothers.

Luo Qing and her sisters-in-law brought along the children of three of her senior brothers.

We also brought the children of Feng Zhengming's uncle, second aunt and third uncle to Quancheng Shopping Mall.

Because the New Year is approaching, there are many people shopping on the streets, so the First Shopping Mall is packed with people.

The sisters-in-law asked all the children to hold hands and try not to run around.

Luo Qing was even more attentive, holding the hands of the two younger children from Feng Zhengming's eldest uncle's family and third uncle's family.

He also asked Zhang Hongwei, an older boy from his second aunt's family, to stay with them to prevent them from being separated by the crowd.

Luo Qing held hands and lowered her head to communicate in a foreign language with Feng Yucheng, the son of her uncle.

"Have you never seen such a scene abroad?"

On the way here, Feng Yucheng had been communicating with Luo Qing in a foreign language.

Luo Qing actually did this on purpose, wanting to improve her spoken English by communicating with Feng Yucheng.

Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan from my second aunt's and third uncle's families also tried their best to communicate in foreign languages ​​along the way.

This was actually something that the second aunt and the third aunt intentionally told the two children.

On the one hand, we try our best to let my uncle's son gradually adapt to the domestic environment.

On the other hand, it is also a foreign language training for Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan.

To improve the foreign language performance of the two children.

So during this journey, Luo Qing often chatted with the three children, but the three sisters-in-law and the three brothers' children could not understand what they were talking about. Luo Qing also used foreign languages ​​and Chinese at times.

She was almost confused after talking about this and that.

As the group entered the mall, Luo Qing asked Feng Yucheng beside her with a smile.

"You probably haven't seen so many people abroad, right?"

Unexpectedly, Feng Yucheng responded immediately: "There are also a lot of people when foreign supermarkets have special sales on weekends."

Feng Shengnan asked, "Are there so many people too?"

Feng Yucheng shook his head: "Not so much."

Zhang Hongwei immediately responded: "We still have more people."

When Feng Shengnan heard this, she responded with a smile: "Of course we have more people, we have the largest population."

Zhang Hongwei is quite proud: "With so many of us, we will definitely catch up and surpass foreign countries in the future."

As he said this, Zhang Hongwei looked down at his younger brother Feng Yucheng.

"It's really the right time for my uncle and aunt to bring you back so that you can watch us surpass other countries."

Feng Yucheng didn't look surprised at all when he heard what Zhang Hongwei said.

Instead, he nodded: "Grandpa told me the same thing."

Feng Shengnan asked, "Is your grandfather in Beijing?"

Feng Yucheng nodded: "Grandpa is in the capital, living in a large courtyard similar to my brother's, and there are also people in military uniforms standing guard."

Luo Qing listened to the conversation between several children. If it were in the past, she might have been very shocked.

I am quite afraid of the background of Feng Zhengming's relatives.

However, during this year, Luo Qing traveled to many places with her uncle.

I have also met many people of extraordinary identities.

So Luo Qing wouldn't be too surprised when she listened to the three children's discussion.

She looked at her three sisters-in-law and saw that they had already gone shopping.

Luo Qing quickly grabbed the two children and called Zhang Hongwei to go over together.

In the following time, Luo Qing bought clothes for her three sisters-in-law.

Originally, the three sisters-in-law were embarrassed to ask for it.

But Luo Qing mobilized the children and asked them to praise the three sisters-in-law for looking beautiful in their new clothes.

With the children's repeated praise, the sisters-in-law finally fell.

Luo Qing bought clothes for her sisters-in-law very smoothly.

I also bought clothes for Feng Zhengming and his fellow brothers.

The children also bought a new set of clothes each.

In Luo Qing's words, "We all need to wear new clothes in the new year."

They bought a lot of things, and Luo Qing paid for most of them.

It made the sisters-in-law feel a little embarrassed.

When the children asked for things, the sisters-in-law tried their best to stop them.

Luo Qing could only move Feng Zhengming out.

"Sisters-in-law, this is the task that Zhengming gave me. If you don't let me pay, Zhengming will definitely blame me when I go back. What should I do if he scolds me then?
Zhengming said that the New Year is all about having fun, letting the children have fun, and buying whatever they want, because it only happens once a year."

The eldest sister-in-law immediately said, "He dares."

The third sister-in-law also echoed: "Yes, Xiao Luo, don't be afraid, the sisters-in-law will make the decision for you, he won't dare."

"That's right. If he dares to scold you, let the senior brothers deal with him." The fifth sister-in-law looked even more hateful and vindictive.

Luo Qing continued to persuade: "Three sisters-in-law, just let me pay. Anyway, this money is Zhengming. My senior brother helped him make money, and then he asked me to spend it on the sisters-in-law and children. Isn't this right?"

After some pushing and shoving, Luo Qing finally succeeded in paying the money.

The three sisters-in-law were also somewhat helpless, but the children were naturally very happy and they also bought some things.

Of course, because of their mother’s instructions, the children did not dare to ask for expensive things.

By the time they had finished shopping and walked out of the mall, they were already carrying a lot of things in large and small bags.

Just as they walked out of the mall, they were thinking together about how to take so many things back.

Suddenly, a car horn was heard on the side of the road.

Then they looked at the van parked on the side of the road.

It was Zhang Hongwei who recognized him first: "It's my brother. He drove here to pick us up."

A group of people came to the car together.

I saw that the person driving the car was indeed Feng Zhengming.

"Zhengming, why are you here?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and replied, "I know it's hard for you to take the things you bought back, so I drove over to pick you up."

The third sister-in-law looked at it and asked, "Your van can't accommodate so many of us, right?"

Feng Zhengming pointed to the back and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I brought two cars with me."

Everyone looked back and saw that there was indeed a van behind them, and then Uncle San also drove over.

Three cars came to pick them up, which really made the three sisters-in-law a little flattered.

Uncle San got out of the car and greeted, "Hahaha, hurry up and get in the car. Don't be polite. You guys bought so many things. It would be a shame if I didn't drive over to pick you up."

Feng Zhengming asked Luo Qing to take the children to get into Uncle San's car, and put the things in two vans.

Afterwards, the eldest sister-in-law took the children in Feng Zhengming's car, while the third and fifth sisters-in-law each took their children in a van at the back.

Everyone got on the bus, and the three cars turned around and returned to Huiquanlou.

On the way, the sister-in-law also chatted with Feng Zhengming for a few words.

"Zhengming, look at you. You spent so much money on the New Year. Although you can make money now, you should also be careful not to spend too much."

Hearing what his sister-in-law said, Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I know, but we have to be happy during the Chinese New Year.

Besides, the brothers and sisters work so hard all year round, and I know that no matter how much money I give them, you will not be willing to spend it, so I might as well buy things for you directly."

These words made sister-in-law Hu Yan stunned.

After thinking about it carefully, Hu Yan couldn't help but smile and shook her head: "You really did this on purpose, no wonder you insisted on having us all celebrate the New Year together in Huiquanlou this year."

Feng Zhengming laughed: "Sister-in-law, have you informed your elder brother and your relatives?"

"We have informed them all. They know that the whole family will come to Huiquanlou for the New Year. They are all very happy and looking forward to it."

Hearing his sister-in-law's answer, Feng Zhengming said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law. This year I can finally enjoy the feeling of celebrating the New Year with my big family."

Hu Yan was stunned when she heard this, then she thought about it and soon felt relieved that Feng Zhengming spent so much money on the New Year.

In Hu Yan's view, Feng Zhengming is an orphan and all this is his way of expressing his emotions.

In fact, Hu Yan misunderstood. Feng Zhengming just wanted to have a happy New Year with everyone. (End of this chapter)
