From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Jiang Chengzhe had a smile on his face and hummed a little tune while cooking, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

Feng Zhengming quietly walked into the kitchen and was seen by other people in the kitchen. They all subconsciously greeted him.

But Feng Zhengming put his finger in front of his lips and asked everyone to be quiet.

He tiptoed to Jiang Chengzhe's side.

At this moment, some people in the kitchen had already figured out what was going on. They couldn't help wanting to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. They could only hide aside and cover their mouths and laugh secretly.

Feng Zhengming walked to Jiang Chengzhe, but Jiang Chengzhe turned his head to look outside and still didn't see him.

Then Feng Zhengming just stood beside Jiang Chengzhe, watching him quietly, turning his head to make faces outside from time to time, and humming a song all the time.

It was not until Liu Fangyou saw Feng Zhengming while sitting outside that her smiling face froze in an instant.

Liu Fangyou opened her mouth to remind Jiang Chengzhe, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

As a result, she sat at the bar outside the kitchen, anxiously waiting.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengzhe also noticed that something was wrong with Liu Fangyou, and he subconsciously wanted to go over and ask about the situation.

He subconsciously let go of the pot handle and didn't notice that Feng Zhengming had already reached out and took it when he let go.

Everything was so natural, so natural that everyone in the kitchen could hardly hold back their laughter.

Jiang Chengzhe had already walked a few steps toward the bar outside the kitchen when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he turned around again, he saw that his dish had been taken over by Feng Zhengming.

"Ah, Chef, why are you here?"

Feng Zhengming shook the pot in his hand and quickly put the dish on a plate. He ignored Jiang Chengzhe and instead carefully arranged the dish on the plate.

After handing the dishes to others to serve, Feng Zhengming stared at Jiang Chengzhe with a smile, and then looked at Liu Fangyou who was sitting outside.

Jiang Chengzhe followed Feng Zhengming's gaze and saw Liu Fangyou sitting outside.

He understood it almost instantly.

"Chef, this is not right. Are you checking on me on purpose?"

Feng Zhengming: "I'm not here to check on you. I'm responsible for my sister. If my sister is in love, I'll always have to investigate the character of the person she's in love with."

Liu Fangyou also heard it outside and her cheeks turned red.

"Brother Feng, don't talk nonsense. Azhe and I are friends, good friends."

Feng Zhengming pretended to be surprised: "Oh, it's a friend, I understand."

Jiang Chengzhe thought for a moment and said seriously, "Chef, I won't hide it from you. I really like Liu Fangyou and I want to date her. You said she is your sister, so I ask you, as her brother, to agree to our relationship."

Liu Fangyou didn't expect that Jiang Chengzhe would actually say this to Feng Zhengming.

"You, don't, don't say that."

Jiang Chengzhe simply said frankly: "Liu Fangyou, I really like you. I like your freshness and your delicate thoughts. Although I am just a small cook, I, I hope you can accept my pursuit."

This confession to Jiang Chengzhe surprised Liu Fangyou, other people in the kitchen, and some people in the front.

It was a few foreigners in the store who stood up first and applauded Jiang Chengzhe's confession.

Luo Qing also quickly came to Liu Fangyou's side.

"Fangyou, are you willing?"

Liu Fangyou faced everyone's gaze, and finally looked at Jiang Chengzhe's sincerity towards her.

Although she was very shy, she still nodded to Jiang Chengzhe.

The moment Liu Fangyou nodded, Xia Hui took the lead in cheering and applauding.

The next moment, everyone in the restaurant applauded and cheered for the love between the two people.

Feng Zhengming reached out and gently patted Jiang Chengzhe on the shoulder: "Azhe, since you and my sister love each other, I hope you can have a good relationship and hope that you can be together in the end."

After a brief pause, Feng Zhengming said, "But you can't bully my sister, or I won't forgive you."

Jiang Chengzhe turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I dare not bully Fang You. I'm afraid of being fired by you, my brother-in-law."

This made everyone laugh.

Next, Feng Zhengming announced to everyone present.

"Today, my sister has found her own love. To celebrate and bless them, we will give everyone present a small dessert."

Hearing this, everyone cheered and sent their blessings to Jiang Chengzhe and Liu Fangyou.

Jiang Chengzhe and Liu Fangyou also felt somewhat happy.

Especially Liu Fangyou was really excited.

"Thank you, brother."

Luo Qing smiled: "You're welcome. This is your mother's home in Shanghai. No matter what grievances you suffer, you can come and tell me and your brother."

Feng Zhengming: "I dare not say anything else, but if anyone dares to bully you, I will definitely stand up for you."

Liu Fangyou smiled: "I know, brother, thank you."

Jiang Chengzhe also quickly spoke up: "You can tell me, I will protect you too."

Liu Fangyou blushed and smiled: "Okay, I'll tell you too."

Next, Feng Zhengming and Jiang Chengzhe served a small dessert to the customers in the store.

It allows everyone to enjoy the sweetness of the love between two young people.

In the kitchen, Feng Zhengming took the opportunity to ask Jiang Chengzhe.

"When did you start flirting with Liu Fangyou?"

Jiang Chengzhe replied in a low voice: "The first time she came to the store to eat, she came with several of her colleagues. At that time, her colleagues were all dressed very elegantly, and she looked very restrained in comparison.

But she gave me a very pure feeling, I was attracted to her at that time, and later I wanted to contact her. "

Feng Zhengming: "She is still young and has only been in Shanghai for a short time. She doesn't know a lot of things. You must pay attention to protecting her."

Jiang Chengzhe: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect her."

Feng Zhengming still trusts Jiang Chengzhe's promise.

"Shanghai is a place full of decadence and extravagance. I really hope that your pure relationship can last until the end. When the time comes, I will definitely give you a big gift."

Jiang Chengzhe: "I think we can make it to the end. I spend so much time in the kitchen every day and I don't have time to look for other people."

Feng Zhengming laughed: "Are you blaming me? Are you blaming me for tying you up in the kitchen?"

Jiang Chengzhe: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Feng Zhengming: "Okay, then let's take a break and have some rest together. Then you can invite Liu Fangyou to come along."

Jiang Chengzhe was pleasantly surprised: "Really? When is the holiday?"

Feng Zhengming thought for a moment and said, "Next weekend, let's take a day off and go out and have fun together."

Jiang Chengzhe: "Okay, the chef is indeed the chef, he really cares about us."

Feng Zhengming: "Stop praising me and focus on cooking."

In the following time, Jiang Chengzhe became serious again.

The efficiency of serving dishes in the kitchen also improved rapidly.

After the guests at noon left and it was time for the afternoon break, Feng Zhengming announced publicly that everyone would have a day off next weekend and that he would organize a team-building activity, and everyone could sign up voluntarily.

"Registration ends next Wednesday. If you want to go, just find my wife to sign up." After hearing this announcement, everyone in the store cheered happily.

It's not just cheering because of the weekend off, but also cheering because you can go out and have fun.

But someone still dared to ask.

"If the chef goes out to play, do we have to pay?"

Feng Zhengming smiled: "No need to pay. I said it's a team building, all expenses will be reimbursed by the store. If there are many people, I will find a place specifically for us to have a picnic together."

After hearing this, everyone became even happier.

Feng Zhengming then asked Luo Qing to call the other three stores.

This time we plan to close all four stores together so that everyone can go and have fun together.

When the other three stores heard the news, they quickly signed up very actively.

In the end, almost everyone in the three stores was willing to participate in the team building.

When Feng Zhengming learned that everyone was willing to participate, he contacted two buses the next day and rented two detached villas on the outskirts of the city, preparing to take everyone there to enjoy themselves.

Jiang Chengzhe immediately invited Liu Fangyou.

Liu Fangyou also gladly accepted the invitation.

After determining the location, Feng Zhengming also notified the store’s customers in advance.

Customers can understand.

After all, Feng Zhengming has four stores in Shanghai, and even when he is not in Shanghai, he almost never takes a break.

They are also human beings. Most people have weekends to rest, but they don’t have weekends. It is understandable that they find time to take a break so that everyone can have a rest.

Of course, the customers were somewhat sad because they couldn’t eat at Feng Zhengming’s restaurant on weekends and had to find other restaurants.

In order to prepare for the first team-building event in the four stores in Shanghai, Feng Zhengming and his team also made some preparations in advance.

Feng Zhengming asked all the chefs in the four restaurants to prepare a big dish for everyone.

Decide what dishes to cook and tell Feng Zhengming the menu in advance.

He will specially purchase a batch of the best ingredients so that everyone can enjoy them.

Jiang Chengzhe, Xia Hui and other young chefs in the kitchen, as well as the managers and chefs of the other three stores were all surprised by this.

Jiang Chengzhe: "Chef, this must cost a lot of money, right?"

Xia Hui: "Yes, do we have to spend so much money this time?"

Sun Hai: "Why do I feel like it's over?"

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but laugh when he saw everyone saying this.

"Hahaha, what are you thinking about? How much money can we make in a day in our store now? This little money is nothing. Everyone works so hard all year round, shouldn't we enjoy ourselves a little?"

Luo Qing also agreed: "That's right. Everyone works so hard all the time. It's not easy to go out and play once. We should enjoy it."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing said, everyone couldn't help but feel that it made sense.

Feng Zhengming went on to say: "In the future, we should organize several such activities every year so that everyone can take a break, relax and enjoy life."

Jiang Chengzhe: "Chef, what if you say you can be the top scholar? Only you can have such courage."

Feng Zhengming said calmly: "I was negligent in the past. I only thought about running our store well and ignored that everyone also needs to rest and enjoy life. They can't just work all the time."

Xia Hui: "Master is right. We are so busy that we neglect our lives."

Everyone thinks it makes sense and that we cannot ignore life.

Feng Zhengming: "Okay, everyone can think about how to have fun, but don't neglect your work."

Everyone in the store agreed with a smile.

The people from the four stores were very active and quickly handed the menus to Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming was not stingy and immediately found someone to purchase various ingredients on the menu.

In addition to the menus determined by the chefs of each store, Feng Zhengming also specially purchased a batch of better ingredients.

For example, lobster, king crab, sea cucumber, abalone, and a variety of fresh prawns, as well as some premium beef and lamb prepared for barbecue.

Everyone in the store was surprised to see the things Feng Zhengming had purchased in advance.

Jiang Chengzhe: "Chef, are you going to buy so many good things?"

Feng Zhengming: "What's this? Didn't we agree on this? When we go out to play, we should enjoy life?"

Xia Hui was also surprised: "But, this, isn't this too extravagant?"

Feng Zhengming: "It's not extravagant. We usually cook these things for others to eat. This time we go out to play, we also want to eat them ourselves. At that time, we will also have lobsters, king crabs, sea cucumbers, and abalones for free."

Everyone was really shocked by Feng Zhengming's domineering attitude.

At the same time, his domineering attitude naturally won the admiration of everyone.

The team building hasn't started yet, but the things Feng Zhengming bought have already changed everyone's opinion of him in the store.

Everyone admitted in their hearts that Feng Zhengming was definitely the best boss they had ever met.

Other stores may pay them a decent salary, and perhaps also offer some benefits.

But he would definitely not respect them as much as Feng Zhengming did.

He will not be like Feng Zhengming, who takes them to team building and lets them enjoy life.

Maybe other bosses would ask them to pay if they take them to team-building activities.

It is indeed difficult to meet such a generous boss.

After a week of preparation, Feng Zhengming contacted a bus, picked up people from the four stores, and took all the prepared ingredients. The bus slowly drove out of the city.

Everyone was full of expectations along the way. For many people in the four stores, this might be the first time they left the urban area of ​​Shanghai.

Two buses took everyone all the way to the coastal area of ​​Shanghai and drove into a very beautiful villa area with some Western-style buildings.

Everyone in the car was shocked by the scenery outside when they looked out the car window.

"Wow, what is this place?"

"It's so beautiful here."

"It's really beautiful. Look over there, is there a castle?"

"Wow, it's really magnificent. It really looks like a castle."

"Are we going to play here?"

Feng Zhengming: "This is a leisure resort. I have already booked a place. We will play here and stay here for one night. A little further ahead is the beach. We can have a bonfire party there at night."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, everyone was very happy and looked forward to this trip.

The bus entered the resort and parked in the parking lot inside.

There are already quite a few cars in the parking lot, and many of them are luxury cars.

It can be seen that everyone comes here specifically for vacation on weekends.

However, judging from the luxury cars in the parking lot, most of the people who can come here are probably either rich or noble.

This sight made everyone in the four stores even more surprised.

Feng Zhengming actually led everyone to indulge in luxury. (End of this chapter)
