From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

In order to give Gu Zhicheng time to fall in love, Feng Zhengming simply helped him in the branch in the island city for a while.

It just so happened that Uncle San was busy with some business in the island city company at this time and needed Luo Qing's help.

In this way, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing can live in the island city together.

Grandpa Feng and Grandpa Situ also came to the island city from Quancheng with Uncle San.

I live in a small courtyard near the sea that my third uncle helped me find.

The two old men go fishing together at the beach every day.

Or you can come to Feng Zhengming's branch in Island City and sit down, and sometimes he will help greet customers.

With Feng Zhengming in charge, the business of this branch in Daocheng is naturally booming.

There is a constant stream of customers coming to the store every day.

And there are always people queuing up every day.

In order to ensure the daily supply of pork, Feng Zhengming came up with many ideas.

Batches of pork were specially transferred from other regions.

This ensures the daily supply of pork.

As for other parts that are not suitable for making braised pork, they will not be wasted and will be used to make four-happiness meatballs.

The busy daily life makes Feng Zhengming feel as if he has returned to the first time he opened the store.

Although it was a bit hard, Feng Zhengming felt very fulfilled.

Gao Fengyi sometimes comes to the branch in the island city to help out.

Gu Zhicheng, who was supposed to be the chef, did not disappoint his master and junior uncle.

I was probably busy chasing girls for a week.

Finally, Gu Zhicheng brought the girl to the store.

It can also be regarded as a formal announcement to everyone that they are now official boyfriend and girlfriend.

The girl is not young anymore, but she still looks petite.

When I first came to the store, I was a little embarrassed.

When she followed Gu Zhicheng on the tour, she was always very cautious.

Until she met Feng Zhengming.

"Wow, it's really Feng Zhuangyuan."

Gu Zhicheng corrected with a smile: "You should call me Junior Master."

Feng Zhengming looked at the girl and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, you don't have to call me Zhuangyuan. You can call me Junior Uncle Master like Lao Gu, or you can call me Xiao Feng, or Zhengming."

The girl laughed when she heard this: "Hehehe, if I call you Xiao Feng or Zheng Ming, wouldn't that make me a different generation than Gu Zhicheng?"

Gu Zhicheng nodded: "Yes, yes, we can't be different in generation, so I'll still call you Junior Uncle."

Then Gu Zhicheng introduced himself to Feng Zhengming formally.

"Uncle Junior Master, this is Sun Suqiu."

Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "Okay, welcome Sun Suqiu."

Sun Suqiu felt really embarrassed to be welcomed.

"Uncle Junior, you're welcome. You're the elder."

Feng Zhengming waved his hand: "What elder? In terms of age, I am younger than you."

Sun Suqiu is also a serious person and she follows rules.

"Age is age, and Junior Master Uncle is of a higher generation than us, so we should indeed call you Junior Master Uncle."

After hearing this, Feng Zhengming roughly understood why Gu Zhicheng fell in love with Sun Suqiu.

First of all, Sun Suqiu is indeed quite beautiful.

Secondly, Sun Suqiu is obviously a more traditional girl.

Maybe most chefs prefer down-to-earth and traditional girls.

After all, chefs spend most of their time in the kitchen, doing their work in a routine manner.

And when things get really busy, I may not have much time to take care of the family.

At this time, the chef must find a partner who is more down-to-earth and traditional.

They can help the chef take better care of the home.

Therefore, the wives of Senior Brother Feng Zhengming are almost all people who can take good care of the family.

Moreover, they are all relatively traditional and kind to others.

In this way, the sisters-in-law will support their senior brother in following Feng Zhengming's career.

Many times Feng Zhengming felt sorry for his sisters-in-law.

Because the seniors are all very busy now and are almost unable to take care of the family.

Whether it is the elderly or children at home, they are all taken care of by my sisters-in-law.

Of course, although such busy chefs cannot take good care of their families, they also don’t have time to do anything fancy. Most chefs even give their money to their wives to manage.

Because the chef is in the kitchen, he doesn’t have to worry about three meals a day, and many times the chef doesn’t even have the chance to spend money.

So in Quancheng, every time when salaries were paid, the third senior brother would ask Feng Zhengming to give the money directly to the third sister-in-law.

To use the words of my third senior brother, it would save me from having to go through this again.

When Feng Zhengming saw Gu Zhicheng’s girlfriend Sun Suqiu today, he could see a lot of shadows of his sisters-in-law in her.

Feng Zhengming knew that Gu Zhicheng had indeed found a good girl.

Gu Zhiben originally wanted to change into chef's uniform and help in the kitchen.

Feng Zhengming stopped him and said, "This is your first time bringing someone to the store, so don't go into the kitchen to work. Keep them company and explain some interesting things about the kitchen to them. Don't just follow them around like a wooden stake."

Gu Zhicheng blurted out without even thinking: "Master Junior, what's interesting in the kitchen?"

Feng Zhengming was asked this question and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You've been in the kitchen for so long, and there's nothing you find interesting?"

Gu Zhicheng thought about it seriously and said, "I think it would be quite interesting to cook in the kitchen and learn a lot from you, Junior Master."

Feng Zhengming felt helpless and could only ask: "Does she have any hobbies? You can ask her."

Gu Zhicheng replied, "Master, she likes cooking very much. She also watches your cooking show and has been learning how to cook from you. She even said she wants to learn from you live."

Hearing what Gu Zhicheng said, Feng Zhengming looked at Sun Suqiu.

The latter was obviously embarrassed.

"Master, I really like cooking. I usually try to cook at home, but I can't cook many dishes well. I have been watching your cooking shows and learning from you."

After hesitating for a while, Sun Suqiu couldn't help but say what was in her heart.

"I know Gu Zhicheng. He said he was the chef at the Zhengluxing branch in Daocheng. I thought he was bragging, so I didn't want to talk to him for the past few days.

Then he came to see me every day, picked me up from get off work and explained a lot to me, and then I realized that he was really your nephew, so I went with him to see it."

Feng Zhengming felt both amused and helpless when he heard this.

I wonder what Gu Zhicheng said to others?
I was actually regarded as a boastful liar.

Today, they were willing to come together and even wanted to verify the authenticity of Gu Zhicheng's identity.

Feng Zhengming suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, then, Lao Gu, take her with you to change into a chef's uniform, and then go to the kitchen together. Show her your skills and let her know what you are like in the kitchen."

Sun Suqiu was a little excited after hearing this: "Is it really possible?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and nodded: "Of course, our kitchen is not a place that you can't enter, but when you change your clothes, remember to clean yourself up and tie your hair up, especially the chef's hat must be worn the whole time."

Sun Suqiu nodded seriously: "I understand, we must ensure the cleanliness of the kitchen."

Afterwards, Gu Zhicheng took Sun Suqiu to change clothes.

Fortunately, there were some chef uniforms for apprentices prepared in the branch’s dressing room.

Gu Zhicheng found a set of apprentice chef uniforms for Sun Suqiu. Then he stood guard outside the door while Sun Suqiu changed her clothes inside.

Sun Suqiu changed her clothes and came out. Seeing Gu Zhicheng standing guard at the door, she felt a little warm in her heart.

At this time, Sun Suqiu's opinion of Gu Zhicheng had indeed changed greatly.

Since Gu Zhicheng brought her to the store, Sun Suqiu knew that Gu Zhicheng had not lied to her.

He is really the nephew of the top scholar Feng Zhengming.

He is also the head chef of the Zhengluxing branch in Daocheng.

Sun Suqiu has already developed some affection for Gu Zhicheng.

Now I see Gu Zhicheng guarding the door for me.

My fondness for him instantly doubled.

Gu Zhicheng also went in and changed his clothes.

When Gu Zhicheng came out wearing chef's uniform, Sun Suqiu's eyes lit up.

It is obvious that Gu Zhicheng's temperament is completely different when he puts on the chef's uniform.

Gu Zhicheng, who usually doesn't wear a chef's uniform, has a bit of inferiority complex.

But when he put on the chef's uniform, he instantly became energetic and more confident.

Seeing Gu Zhicheng so confident really made Sun Suqiu feel great.

Led by Gu Zhicheng, the two returned to the kitchen.

And before entering the kitchen, Gu Zhicheng carefully helped Sun Suqiu put on her chef's hat.

When she really entered the kitchen, Sun Suqiu found that it was completely different from what she had imagined.

She used to think that the back kitchen was just a larger kitchen.

When she really entered the kitchen, she found that it was not a larger kitchen. It didn't look like a kitchen at all, but more like a processing workshop.

What Sun Suqiu didn't expect was that the kitchen looked even cleaner than the office in their unit.

All the countertops in the kitchen are so smooth that they can directly reflect people's shadows.

The walls, floors and stoves are also quite clean.

It was not filled with smoke at all as Sun Suqiu had imagined.

Sun Suqiu was taken by Gu Zhicheng to visit the kitchen carefully.

From the water table, to various working tables, to the cooking stove.

The things in the kitchen really made Sun Suqiu feel quite novel.

When she saw Feng Zhengming again, Sun Suqiu felt that Feng Zhengming in the kitchen was just like a general.

He will carefully check everyone's work and give orders in the kitchen based on the orders received.

Everyone in the kitchen will do their job according to his orders.

There are special people to clean it, and there are also special people to cut it.

There are even professional chefs cooking in front of the stove.

However, most of the cooking is done by Feng Zhengming himself.

But in fact, before cooking, other work was prepared by others on behalf of Feng Zhengming.

In Sun Suqiu's opinion, the process was very smooth and a dish could be prepared almost instantly.

Gu Zhicheng saw Sun Suqiu staring at Feng Zhengming.

He explained to Sun Suqiu in a low voice.

"Don't think that Junior Master needs us to help him cut and serve. In fact, if Junior Master does it alone, he may do it faster and better.

Junior Master gave other tasks to other people, which was also training them. "

Sun Suqiu was a little surprised: "Is this still possible?"

Gu Zhicheng looked at him with admiration: "Yes, Junior Master is helping me train my team. I will be the head chef here in the future, so these people will be used by me in the future."

Sun Suqiu was even more surprised when she heard this: "Little Master is helping you train people?"

Gu Zhicheng nodded: "You can't say that you are helping me train people, but you are training people for the branch."

When talking about Gu Zhicheng, he felt a little unconfident.

"Although I will be the chef here in the future, I am actually inexperienced in coordinating personnel. If it weren't for my junior uncle, I wouldn't be able to mobilize the staff so well."

Sun Suqiu smiled and encouraged him: "It's okay, take this opportunity to learn more and practice more, you will definitely do well in the future."

Gu Zhicheng was very happy to receive Sun Suqiu's encouragement.

"Okay, I will definitely learn from Junior Master Uncle."

As they were talking, Feng Zhengming had already served the dishes.

Turning around and seeing two people standing next to him, Feng Zhengming waved to Gu Zhicheng.

"Come on, our chef Gu, it's up to you from now on."

Being called Chef Gu made Gu Zhicheng's business difficult.

"Uncle Junior Master, stop joking."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "I'm not kidding. Your girlfriend is here today, so you have to behave well. If you don't, I will fire you as the chef."

Sun Suqiu was a little nervous: "Little Master, how about I go out first."

Feng Zhengming was surprised: "Why do you want to go out first?"

Sun Suqiu looked at Gu Zhicheng, obviously worried about him.

"I'm afraid he won't do well and will be fired by you."

These words really made Feng Zhengming laugh.

"Hahaha, Lao Gu, Lao Gu, you really found a treasure. We haven't even gotten married yet, but he has already started to think about you and protect you with me. You are so lucky."

These words instantly made Gu Zhicheng and Sun Suqiu blush.

Both of them were obviously embarrassed.

Feng Zhengming called out to Gu Zhicheng, "You have such a good girlfriend, why don't you work harder? Show off in front of her?"

Gu Zhicheng finally came to his senses and walked to the stove calmly.

He took the spatula from Feng Zhengming's hand.

I quickly scrubbed the pot and spatula.

Then, standing in front of the stove, Gu Zhicheng looked at the person who placed the order with a serious face.

The other party was a little nervous because of Gu Zhicheng's serious expression.

Fortunately, Feng Zhengming was there to help with directing and dispatching.

The staff is relatively efficient and smooth.

Gu Zhicheng stood in front of the stove in front of Sun Suqiu and showed her his cooking skills seriously.

This was also the first time that Sun Suqiu saw Gu Zhicheng cooking in the kitchen.

It can be said that she was instantly attracted by Gu Zhicheng's figure.

Maybe she had wondered before whether Gu Zhicheng was qualified to be the chef.

You can see how Gu Zhicheng cooks seriously, especially the coordination between the pot and the wok, and the use of the stove fire.

This made Sun Suqiu realize that this man was actually a great chef.

It didn't take Gu Zhicheng much effort to prepare a plate of stir-fried kidney.

Seeing the dishes coming out of the pot, Feng Zhengming nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Turning his head and seeing Sun Suqiu with an admiring look on her face, Feng Zhengming asked, "Would you like to try it? Let's see our Lao Gu's cooking skills and see if he can be the chef of our branch?" (End of this chapter)
