From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Feng Nuanyou saw that her parents were eating all the time, and the little girl couldn't help but feel a little greedy while sitting in her father's arms.

The little hand stretched out and pulled at father's arm, as if he also wanted to have something that his parents were eating.

Seeing his daughter's look, Feng Zhengming peeled a prawn with a smile.

Peel the shrimp meat and crush it finely with a spoon in a clean bowl.

After the shrimp meat was completely crushed, Feng Zhengming fed it to his daughter little by little with a spoon.

Seeing her father feeding her, Feng Nuanyou was immediately filled with anticipation.

Before daddy's spoon reached her mouth, the little girl was already waiting with her mouth wide open.

The mother sitting opposite couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter's look.

"The little girl is really good at eating now. She opens her mouth and waits even before the spoon reaches her mouth. She can't wait any longer."

Feng Zhengming carefully fed a small sip into his daughter's little mouth.

The little girl put it into her mouth and slowly moved her mouth to eat the crushed shrimp bit by bit.

After eating, the little girl was still not satisfied and opened her little mouth for more.

Luo Qing couldn't help laughing as she watched: "Hahaha, what a greedy little cat."

Feng Zhengming also smiled and fed his daughter some more.

After a while, the whole shrimp in the bowl was eaten by my daughter.

But it was obvious that the little girl was still not satisfied and continued to pull her father's arm to ask for food.

"Dad, Dad, eat, eat, eat."

Luo Qing: "It's delicious. I can't get enough after eating just one."

Feng Zhengming smiled and peeled another shrimp for his daughter.

I crushed it into powder and fed it to my daughter bit by bit.

"It's good to eat more shrimps. Our Youyou is easy to feed like this. Unlike other children, we have to chase him around for several blocks to feed him."

Luo Qing: "That's right. Her father is the national champion in cooking. With such a talented father, she must be better at eating than other children."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "Only if you know how to eat can you grow up quickly and be strong."

Luo Qing reached out and patted her husband: "What do you mean by strong? How can a girl be strong?"

Feng Zhengming smiled: "It's not about being strong, but about being healthy. Our Youyou must grow tall and pretty."

Feng Nuanyu seemed to understand what her father said and started dancing in his arms.

After Gao Fengyi returned to the kitchen and worked for a while, he came to Feng Zhengming and his friends' table again.

Seeing Feng Zhengming feeding his daughter shrimp, Gao Fengyi asked: "Do you need more? I'll serve you some shrimp?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and stopped him: "No need, Senior Brother. Children can't eat much."

Luo Qing: "Yes, thank you, Senior Brother. She just needs to eat a little."

Gao Fengyi watched Feng Nuanyu eat shrimps. The way her little mouth moved was quite cute.

"I really envy you two. Your daughter is so well behaved and eats so well. Unlike our child, it was really hard to feed her when she was young."

Feng Zhengming: "Brother, you haven't seen our daughter being naughty. All children will be naughty sometimes."

Gao Fengyi: "It's true that children can be naughty, but my kid is now in school and his grades are giving me and his mom a headache."

Speaking of his own son, Gao Fengyi still feels a bit of a headache.

The main reason is that he is too busy at work and he can only get home very late when he is busy in the restaurant.

Therefore, the education of the children at home can only be left to my wife.

As a result, Gao Fengyi's wife couldn't bear to teach her son a lesson.

This made Gao Fengyi's son a little difficult to control.

Feng Zhengming thought about it and gave some suggestions.

"Brother, you should take some time to communicate with your son. You don't have to lecture him all the time. In fact, you can take him to your kitchen during his holidays.

This way, the child can realize that his father cares about him, but his father is too busy and has no time to accompany him. "

Gao Fengyi listened to Feng Zhengming's words and felt that there was some truth in them.

"Zhengming, you are right. No matter how sensible a child is, he or she cannot be the same as an adult. So we still need to let him or her see more and gain more knowledge so that he or she can understand more."

Feng Zhengming smiled and nodded: "Senior brother is an open-minded father, I believe he will have a good relationship with the child."

Gao Fengyi couldn't help but ask Feng Zhengming.

"Junior brother, can our seafood restaurant get five stars in your recommendation guide?"

Feng Zhengming knew that Gao Fengyi couldn't help but ask for his opinion.

He was also very straightforward: "In terms of service and food quality control, Senior Brother's Seafood Restaurant can indeed get five stars from me."

After saying this, Feng Zhengming added: "However, this table of ours was prepared by you personally, what about other customers?
Or if there is no recommendation guide review from me, can you insist on guaranteeing service and quality control? "

Gao Fengyi looked at Feng Zhengming. He didn't expect Feng Zhengming to have so many requests.

For Gao Fengyi, running a large seafood restaurant is indeed not easy.

It is indeed impossible for him to cook for every table of guests himself.

However, Gao Fengyi is still confident that the quality control of the seafood restaurant can be guaranteed.

"Brother, don't worry. I can still guarantee the quality control of the seafood restaurant. Even if I don't cook the dishes myself, my apprentices in the kitchen will make them well and will never let the customers have any mistakes."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "In this way, Senior Brother's seafood restaurant should be able to get five stars."

Gao Fengyi: "Hahaha, it's a pity that you don't have the final say. We still have to wait for Master and Uncle to judge."

Feng Zhengming: "Yes, my words don't count. It still needs to pass the review."

After saying this, Feng Zhengming stood up holding his daughter, and his wife also stood up.

The family of three said goodbye to Gao Fengyi and left the seafood restaurant.

Watched the family of three leave.

The lobby manager of the seafood restaurant came up to Gao Fengyi.

"Boss Gao, can we get five stars this time? I heard that apart from the four old restaurants in Quancheng, only the Xia family's Shili Restaurant in Qufu got five stars."

Gao Fengyi was quite confident: "Don't worry, we should be able to get five stars as well."

After leaving the seafood restaurant, Feng Zhengming held his daughter and held his wife's hand as they strolled along the beach.

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Qing couldn't help but speak.

"I think the seafood restaurant is a bit too flattering."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "I know, they mainly cook seafood. As long as the seafood is fresh enough, it doesn't require much cooking, so they are indeed very pleasing."

Luo Qing: "Yes, they don't have to cook much, as long as the ingredients are fresh, they can give customers a delicious experience.

I feel this approach is really unfair to many chefs who rely on their skills.”

Feng Zhengming: "It's very unfair. From my communication with Kofman, I know that overseas, there has been this trend for a long time, with less seasoning, fewer cooking techniques, or even no cooking techniques, and simply piling up the ingredients."

Luo Qing: "Isn't that unfair?" Feng Zhengming: "It can't be said to be unfair. After all, anyone can use the raw materials. If different people make the same raw materials, the taste may not be exactly the same."

Luo Qing nodded: "That's right, Senior Brother Gao really cooked the fish today very well."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "This is a reflection of the master chef's craftsmanship."

Feng Nuanyou, who was in her father's arms, had already started yawning.

The little girl obviously ate a lot of shrimps at noon, and she started to feel a little sleepy after being full.

Seeing this, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing walked to the intersection and took a taxi back to the hotel.

I carried my daughter upstairs and put her on the bed in the room.

Let the wife and daughter rest in the room.

Feng Zhengming walked out of the room and went to look for the two grandfathers and several masters.

It just so happened that a few elderly people had just finished lunch and got together to chat and discuss some of the next review processes.

Seeing Feng Zhengming coming over, everyone asked him with a smile about the situation of Gaofengyi Seafood Restaurant.

Feng Zhengming smiled and sat down: "The seafood restaurant is indeed good in all aspects. We will go there for lunch. It should be worthy of five stars."

Hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Grandpa laughed and said, "You are making a direct judgment on your own?"

Feng Zhengming shook his head: "I'm just talking about my experience. Grandpa, if you go there, you will probably have the same experience as me."

Grandpa Situ: "It seems that Zhengming had a good experience?"

Master Su asked: "How does it compare with Jufengde?"

Feng Zhengming smiled: "Uncle Su, there is no comparison. Jufengde serves traditional Shandong cuisine, while Senior Brother Gao's Seafood Restaurant is mainly seafood, and many of the dishes are cooked more like Cantonese cuisine."

Master Cui: "So, it's mainly based on the freshness of the ingredients?"

Feng Zhengming: "It can't be said that we took shortcuts. The dishes we ordered also reflect Senior Brother Gao's cooking skills."

Feng Zhengming then explained in detail some details of how to cook the dishes.

After hearing this, the veteran masters also felt that there was indeed nothing wrong with the approach.

With the judgment given in advance by Feng Zhengming, the two grandfathers and the masters felt more confident.

Grandpa spoke again: "It seems that the seafood restaurant can get five stars this time. It is the second restaurant in the province outside of Quancheng to get five stars?"

Feng Zhengming: "Yes, it is the second one, just like the Shili Restaurant owned by Master Xia. It is indeed powerful."

Master Cui: "I hope that more restaurants can get five stars in the future."

Master Xia: "Yes, with Zhengming's recommended guidelines to urge everyone, the provincial restaurants will be run better and better."

Master Yan looked at his little apprentice with a smile.

"Zhengming, you must always ensure that the recommendation guide is fair and just, so that all major restaurants in the province can do better and better."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "Master, rest assured, I will do it well."

Grandpa Situ suddenly asked, "By the way, how about the guide you recommend in Shanghai?"

Feng Zhengming: "The competition there is more intense. I heard that many restaurants and high-end restaurants failed to get five stars."

Grandpa: "Is the judging in Shanghai so strict?"

Feng Zhengming: "Yes, the review in Shanghai is more strict."

Master Cui: "It seems that we should thank Zhengming for not putting our Qilu restaurant on the same list as the Shanghai restaurant."

Feng Zhengming: "After all, Shanghai has better economic development and there are quite a lot of Western restaurants there, so the standards of the recommendation guide there cannot be lowered."

Master Yan: "I hope that in the future, we can compete with those restaurants in Shanghai."

Feng Zhengming: "Master, I don't think we need to judge them together."

This made the two grandfathers and the masters very surprised.

Feng Zhengming then gave an explanation.

"We in Qilu should adhere to our own set of standards. After all, we need to ensure the inheritance of traditional Shandong cuisine. We cannot simply give up the characteristics of Shandong cuisine in Qilu just to catch up with Shanghai's standards."

After Feng Zhengming's explanation, the elderly people also felt that this was indeed the truth.

Master Cui asked: "So, from now on, you will have to make separate recommendation guides for all parts of the country?"

Feng Zhengming: “The purpose of the recommendation guide is to recommend good restaurants and food to everyone.

Each place has its own unique characteristics, so making a separate recommendation guide for each place may be more in line with the characteristics of our country’s vast territory and abundant resources.”

The elderly people also agreed with Feng Zhengming's statement.

As Feng Zhengming said, the purpose of the recommendation guide is to make recommendations.

Then every place will have some local specialties.

If judged by one standard, the scores may be completely different in the eyes of people with different tastes.

It might be more appropriate for each region to make an independent recommendation guide and review it according to local standards.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "For now, I don't have the energy to make recommendation guides for various places. I will wait until there is an opportunity in the future to promote the recommendation guides to various places."

This made the old masters laugh.

Master Cui: "Zhengming, you are the top scholar, and you are working harder than us now."

Master Su: "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. It shows that you are capable, so you should really work harder."

Master Sun: "I'm still looking forward to the opening of your old western-style house restaurant in Shanghai tomorrow."

Master Xia: "Yes, the opening of that restaurant will let the whole country see what is truly high-end."

Grandpa: "With your restaurant as a standard, everyone will know better how to evaluate a restaurant."

Grandpa Situ: "Hahaha, it turns out that you are the benchmark."

Finally, Master Yan spoke up and reminded: "If you want to do it, you must do it to the best of your ability. Whether it is in terms of craftsmanship or other aspects, you must make sure that others cannot find any fault with it."

Feng Zhengming knew the expectations of his two grandfathers and master.

He nodded seriously: "I know, I will definitely do my best."

In the evening, Feng Zhengming and his wife took their daughter, two grandfathers and some old masters to visit some small restaurants and snack bars in the island city.

It also allowed the two grandfathers and old masters to experience the authority of Feng Zhengming's recommended guide to small restaurants and snack bars.

Whether it is a small street restaurant or those food stalls set up on the food street.

The taste is really unique, which makes the two grandfathers and the chefs very satisfied.

Feng Nuanyu was also very happy eating along.

Especially the great-grandfathers followed us and made food for us.

The little girl can eat a lot of delicious food.

Feng Nuanyou's face was full of smiles after eating all night.

The small restaurants and street food stalls that were listed in Feng Zhengming's recommended guide were very grateful to see him and even refused to charge any money for a while.

It also allowed the two grandfathers and the masters to truly see the massive support Feng Zhengming had received from the masses. (End of this chapter)
