From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

A week after Feng Zhengming attended the state banquet and successfully opened the Texas branch, he returned to Quancheng.

He and Luo Qing changed into the dresses they had ordered in advance early in the morning.

Feng Zhengming took flowers and a ring from his grandfather's house and drove to Luo Qing's house.

Under the watchful eyes of Luo Qing's relatives and friends in the family compound, after picking up Luo Qing, the two of them went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau just as it was opening for work.

The people who were handling marriage registration at the Civil Affairs Bureau welcomed Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing warmly with smiles on their faces when they saw them walk in hand in hand.

"Finally, our top scholar has arrived."

"I heard before that the top scholar was going to get married this year, and I have been looking forward to when he would come."

"Isn't that what's coming? We've got a marriage certificate for our top scholar. We can brag about it for a year."

"Our elder sister is waiting for you, the champion, to come."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing looked inside and indeed saw an older woman who was dressed very formally with a brooch on her chest. She was staring at them expectantly with a smile on her face.

It was obvious at first glance that the eldest sister must have received the news in advance and had dressed up and waited for the two of them to come and handle the matter.

Feng Zhengming took Luo Qing's hand and walked forward, handing her everything she needed.

"Thank you for your help, sister."

The eldest sister was so happy: "No trouble, no trouble, it's my honor to be able to apply for a marriage certificate for our top scholar."

Luo Qing then took out the wedding candies and cigarettes that she had brought earlier and placed them directly in front of her elder sister.

Seeing this, the eldest sister declined: "Take the candy, but you don't need the cigarettes. I don't smoke either. I am happy to be able to get you the marriage certificate. I feel happy even if you don't give me the wedding candy."

The other staff members also smiled and expressed their agreement.

"That's right, our top scholar is getting married, it's really sweeter than any other couple we have arranged."

"The key is that our top scholar is so famous now, but he still sticks with his beloved one. This is worthy of our promotion and learning."

"That's right, the top scholar is really a true role model for us in Qilu."

Hearing what the staff said, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing looked at each other.

Feng Zhengming originally wanted to comfort Luo Qing with a few words.

It turned out that Luo Qing was not angry at all, but had a sweet smile on her face.

The relationship between the two people is indeed unequal in the eyes of many people.

Although Luo Qing has been working hard, she is also influenced by others in the outside world.

Maybe in Luo Qing's heart, she also felt that her status was not equal to Feng Zhengming's.

Just as many people think, Feng Zhengming has the ability and qualifications to find a better girl.

Of course, Luo Qing also knew in her heart that the relationship between her and Feng Zhengming was irreplaceable.

She can be said to be the person who understands Feng Zhengming the most.

I know that most of Feng Zhengming's thoughts are on trying to stick to the craftsmanship of Shandong cuisine and working hard to promote Shandong cuisine better.

So if it were other girls, they simply wouldn't be able to stand Feng Zhengming's concentration and focusing all his attention on cooking.

But Luo Qing likes Feng Zhengming like this very much, and she is willing to silently support Feng Zhengming behind the scenes.

I would like to watch Feng Zhengming cooking in the kitchen.

Only Luo Qing knows that the Feng Zhengming standing in the kitchen is the real him.

Whether it's under the spotlight of TV and newspaper interviews, or under the camera of his cooking shows.

That was just the side of Feng Zhengming that he showed to outsiders.

The time when he was truly happy was always when he was standing in the kitchen.

Luo Qing's understanding and support made Feng Zhengming feel deep love for her.

This love may be greater than the love between family members.

There is also the love between men and women.

So when Feng Zhengming came back this time, he joked with Luo Qing, saying that the two of them had already been like an old married couple.

Luo Qing laughed so hard when she heard this, but she also admitted it in her heart and found it very sweet.

After a lot of hard work from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing finally got their marriage certificate.

Looking at the marriage certificate in their hands, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing immediately smiled at each other.

The two of them distributed wedding candy to everyone in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

When the two of them walked out the door together, many people from the Civil Affairs Bureau saw them off.

"No. 1 Scholar, you must treat your No. 1 Scholar's wife well."

"That's right, No. 1 scholar, you can't come here again."

"That's right, the top scholar will definitely not come again."

"The top scholar is our role model. He should be our model for what we should aspire for in love."

Feng Zhengming took Luo Qing's hand and raised them up together.

Let's also show everyone the rings on their hands.

"Don't worry, I only have one wife in this life, and I will always deeply love the woman next to me."

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing said goodbye to the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau, got into the car with the people who came to handle the formalities, and drove directly back to Huiquanlou.

Naturally, the news of Feng Zhuangyuan's marriage spread quickly.

Although there had been rumors before, this time Feng Zhengming actually went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate, which really surprised many people in Quancheng.

Besides being surprised, everyone was also filled with joy and blessings for the number one scholar getting married.

After all, in terms of age, Feng Zhengming is not young to get married.

Nowadays, even late marriage and late childbirth are advocated.

It is very rare for Feng Zhengming to get married when he is nearly 30 years old.

In Qi and Lu, a region with stronger traditional ideas.

Feng Zhengming got married, and in the eyes of most people, he truly became a man.

When the car returned to the gate of Huiquan Building, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing saw that the inside and outside of Huiquan Building had been decorated.

There are wedding characters posted on the door, and various flowers as decoration.

There are also various festive decorations inside the door.

Although Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing only got their marriage certificate today and have not officially held their wedding.

But relatives and friends still have to hold a festive celebration for the two.

Feng Zhengming parked the car, and after getting out with Luo Qing, they walked into Huiquan Tower hand in hand.

As soon as they entered the door, the people who were still setting up things inside immediately came forward and surrounded the two of them.

Feng Zhengming smiled and took out their marriage certificate.

"Okay, from now on Luo Qing will be your boss lady."

When the service staff in Huiquanlou heard Feng Zhengming say that Luo Qing would be the boss's wife in the future, they all laughed.

Led by the foreman, everyone greeted Luo Qing together.

"Hello, lady boss."

When Luo Qing was called like this by everyone, her cheeks still turned red even though she had received the marriage certificate.

"You're welcome, big sister. You can just call me Xiao Luo."

The head waitress responded with a smile: "That won't work. You and our chef and boss have both obtained a marriage certificate. You are officially a legal couple. We must call you the boss lady."

Luo Qing felt even more embarrassed. "No need to say that. It seems like I'm getting married to become the boss's wife."

The foreman immediately frowned and said, "Who said that? I'll tear his mouth apart if anyone dares to say that to you."

Seeing the foreman's stern face, Feng Zhengming smiled and comforted her: "With you here, who dares to talk nonsense?"

The foreman nodded and said, "That's right. If anyone dares to say that, I won't forgive him."

Luo Qing also felt the foreman's sincerity towards her.

Maybe when others call Luo Qing "boss lady", they may have some kind of fun-loving mentality.

But the foreman was obviously sincere and willing to treat Luo Qing as the boss's wife.

Everyone was chatting and laughing when Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing's families arrived outside the door.

Grandpa Feng and Grandpa Situ led Luo Qing's grandparents and grandparents into the house.

Seeing the elders come in, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing naturally turned around to greet them.

The two also showed their marriage certificate to everyone.

When everyone saw their marriage certificate, they all smiled happily.

Grandpa Feng first said to Luo Qing's grandparents, "From now on, we are a family. If you think Zhengming has done something wrong, you must tell us."

After hearing what Grandpa Feng said, Luo Qing's grandparents and grandparents quickly expressed their satisfaction with Feng Zhengming.

"Zhengming really makes us very satisfied. Where can we find such a good grandson-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, Zhengming is really excellent. We are all very satisfied with him."

"I am really satisfied. My grandmother Luo Qing and I are also satisfied."

"We can't find anything to be dissatisfied with such a great grandson-in-law."

Grandpa Feng still said: "We can't always praise him. After all, he is still young. In our eyes, he is still a child. Children will definitely make mistakes, so we still need to discipline him."

At his grandfather's call, Feng Zhengming stood up and respectfully changed his words to Luo Qing's grandparents, her parents.

"Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma, dad, mom."

Hearing Feng Zhengming's official change of words, Luo Qing's family was very happy.

Then his grandparents, grandparents and parents took out the red envelopes they had prepared in advance and handed them to Feng Zhengming.

Originally Feng Zhengming was hesitant about whether he should accept the red envelope.

Luo Qing's mother said, "You must take it. This is the rule. Although you haven't had your wedding yet, you have already obtained the marriage certificate. You must accept the money for changing your name."

Obviously, this money was specially prepared by Luo Qing's family.

Then Luo Qing was also pulled by Feng Zhengming and also formally changed her words to the Feng family.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Situ, eldest uncle, aunt, second aunt, uncle, third uncle, aunt."

Naturally, the people from the Feng family also took out the red envelopes they had prepared and gave them to Luo Qing.

Uncle San saw that the ceremony of changing his words was completed.

He announced to everyone with a smile.

"I'm already preparing for Zhengming and Luo Qing's wedding. I've prepared everything. Don't worry. Once Zhengming and his family's house is decorated, we can officially hold the wedding."

Luo's mother quickly said, "Oh, actually, even if we don't have a house, we can still hold the wedding first."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Qingqing and I have already obtained the marriage certificate, and I, as the son-in-law, can't run away. Qingqing and I must prepare our wedding well."

After a short pause, Feng Zhengming declared seriously: "I hope Qingqing can become a beautiful bride envied by everyone."

This made Luo Qing's family very happy.

Especially my uncle and aunt, they were the happiest to see Luo Qing and Feng Zhengming get together.

At noon, although it was not a formal wedding, the Feng family and the Luo family still had a meal together at Huiquanlou.

This means that the two families officially became relatives.

At the banquet, Feng Zhengming also talked about his future plans.

"After Qingqing and I get married, we should prepare for the next half of the year when several branches in the province are on track. After the National Day, we will go to Hong Kong together."

When we heard that we were going to Hong Kong, everyone in the family was a little curious.

"Are you going to Hong Kong for your honeymoon?" my aunt asked in a fashionable way.

Feng Zhengming smiled and replied: "It's not just a honeymoon. When we participated in the state banquet before, we made an appointment with chefs from all over the country to go to Hong Kong together this year to have a national culinary exchange in Hong Kong."

After hearing this, the family members suddenly understood.

The uncle smiled and asked, "Zhengming, can you tell us some interesting things about your participation in the state banquet this time?"

Feng Zhengming knew that although his senior brothers had said it when they came back, he also said it a few days after he came back.

But everyone is still curious about this return state banquet.

Feng Zhengming then began to tell everyone something else.

We talked about asking senior professors from the Academy of Fine Arts to help design the landscape of the motherland.

Everyone present was moved to tears when they heard this.

Although everyone has heard this part, it still makes me excited every time I hear it.

When I think of those old professors from art academies designing them personally.

There is also Feng Zhengming, the champion of the National Cooking Skills Competition, who works with famous chefs from all over the country to cook according to the designed drawings.

Especially having seen the final dish on TV.

Everyone present here can’t help but sigh in their hearts that the motherland is truly thriving.

Perhaps there are differences in regional development, and not everyone can feel that life is getting better at this time.

But the return of Hong Kong City is an exciting shot in the arm.

It shows that the motherland is gradually becoming stronger.

Against this background, coupled with the things that were presented at the homecoming state banquet, it gives people a very exciting feeling.

What's more, this time, not only famous chefs from all over the country will participate, but also some chefs from Australia City and Formosa.

Therefore, this state banquet for the return truly reflects the concentrated strength of the whole country.

Grandpa Situ said with a smile: "The motherland has been unified, and our top scholar has also gotten married. From today on, our top scholar is officially a man of integrity, which is also worth celebrating."

These words were recognized by everyone present, and then everyone naturally raised their glasses together.

Everyone smiled and sent their blessings to Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing.

And everyone also realized that Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing got married in the year when Hong Kong City returned. The marriage of the two would probably be meaningful no matter when.

The two families had a reunion dinner together at noon. In the afternoon, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing took everyone to take a look at the new house which was under renovation.

The people who did the decoration for Feng Zhengming were still the decoration team from Liujia Village.

This three-bedroom, one-living-room house was actually given to Feng Zhengming by the province.

Of course Feng Zhengming spent money to buy the property rights.

So if you observe carefully, you will find that Feng Zhengming has moved into the provincial staff housing compound.

But no one would think that Feng Zhengming is not qualified to live here.

Some retired elderly people in the family compound were also very enthusiastic when they saw Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming also met Mr. Chen Sifu who was playing with his grandson.

When the old man saw Feng Zhengming, he smiled and urged him, "Zhengming, I haven't received the invitation yet. You can't forget about me."

Feng Zhengming smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget you. I will definitely come to your door in person when the time comes." (End of this chapter)
