From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Everyone had more fun on the beach in the afternoon. Everyone in the four stores were originally divided into their own camps according to the store.

Once everyone has started having fun, there will be no more divisions between them and everyone can play together.

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing took their daughter to a nap and then joined in the play.

Feng Zhengming even organized everyone to play a group competition game.

Let everyone have a great time playing on the beach.

They had fun and frolic until the sun began to set.

Feng Zhengming and Jiang Chengzhe went to have a discussion with the people from the beach management office.

After obtaining the other party's permission, they took the men back to the house and loaded all the prepared ingredients into the car.

When we returned again, the beach had been dyed a golden red by the sunset and was very beautiful.

Feng Zhengming asked Jiang Chengzhe to lead everyone to prepare, while he held the camera to capture the beautiful sunset.

He also took a photo with his wife and daughter.

The waitresses in the store at the back all took a photo with Feng Zhengming.

By the time the photos were taken, Jiang Chengzhe and his team had already built a bonfire and arranged all the ingredients.

Then, at Feng Zhengming's command, the bonfire was lit almost when the sun was about to set completely.

The raging flames were ignited, naturally lighting up the entire beach again.

At the same time, Feng Zhengming and his team also attracted a lot of people's attention.

It was great to see a group of people having such a grand bonfire party on the beach.

It really makes many people who come here to play quite envious.

And then, something even more enviable and drooling appears.

Feng Zhengming and his friends set up a barbecue grill next to the campfire and started grilling the various seafood they brought.

There are also various kinds of beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck and goose.

Feng Zhengming and his young chefs also demonstrated their knife skills.

Debone the whole chicken, cut it into different pieces and roast it over fire.

This kind of on-the-spot bone dismantling and cutting is truly astonishing to watch.

More and more people gathered to watch their grand bonfire party.

Many people who had not originally planned to come to the beach at night were also attracted by the light of the bonfire.

Seeing all kinds of seafood, meat and vegetables grilled around the campfire, many people initially thought they were doing business on the beach.

A few young people who seemed to have good family backgrounds came forward and asked about the price without any hesitation.

Feng Zhengming looked at them and replied, "Sorry, we eat this ourselves, we don't sell it."

Several young people were suddenly unhappy.

"What? Are you worried that we can't afford it?"

"That's right, it's not like we haven't eaten lobsters like you before."

"I ate better food abroad than you do."

"Don't be so pretentious. Just tell me how much it is."

"Yes, we can afford it."

Feng Zhengming looked at the young people and responded again: "We brought this with us. My employees and I are going to eat it together. We are not doing business here."

These words startled the young men.

"No, weren't you invited to the bonfire party on the beach?"

"Yeah, isn't the bonfire party arranged by the hotel?"

"The hotel didn't tell us about the arrangements, otherwise we would have brought food with us."

"I thought the hotel invited you to the barbecue."

Feng Zhengming smiled: "We lit the bonfire ourselves, and it has nothing to do with the hotel. I think you may have overestimated the hotel's capabilities."

The young people were stunned at first, and then they all felt that the hotel was indeed not very good.

But at this moment, the hotel also sent someone over.

Even the boss behind the hotel came specially.

Under the guidance of the manager who brought Feng Zhengming and his friends to the beach in the afternoon, the boss found Feng Zhengming in front of the barbecue grill next to the campfire.

"Chef Feng, you're doing the barbecue yourself? I didn't expect you to choose to come to our place for vacation. We are sorry for not hosting you well enough."

Feng Zhengming looked at the other person in the light of the fire, and from the accent he could tell that the other person should be from Hong Kong.

"Boss, you're welcome. The beach here is very well built. Thank you for opening it to us. We had a lot of fun playing there."

The boss then said, "Mr. Feng, I wonder if we can allow other guests of our hotel to participate?"

Feng Zhengming smiled: "Let other guests join us? We've paid for it."

The boss quickly said: "Our hotel can refund you all the money you paid."

Feng Zhengming: "Does it include our rent and other expenses here?"

The boss's face changed and after hesitating for a long time, he finally smiled.

"Yes, Mr. Feng, you can bring people here for vacation. That's to promote our hotel. We shouldn't charge you any fees. I'll have someone arrange to refund you all the fees later."

Feng Zhengming smiled after hearing this and said, "That's great. If anyone comes to play at the hotel, let's play together."

The boss smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Feng for being so generous."

Feng Zhengming then said to the boss: "Have someone send the things from your hotel over here. Since you want us to help you entertain your hotel's customers, you can't let us provide the materials ourselves, right?

And I and the people around me are all the best young chefs. You have to pay us for making barbecue for you."

The manager was stunned: "We want to sell something, but we still have to pay you?"

Feng Zhengming: "Of course, you guys don't have to pay for meals at my restaurants in Shanghai?

Besides, the chefs from my four restaurants are all here today. With this lineup, we can directly have a state banquet. How about asking the chef from your hotel to come and cook?"

The boss stopped the manager from continuing.

"It is an honor for our hotel to invite Mr. Feng to cook for our bonfire party. I will arrange for someone to bring the money over later."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Okay, then we will work hard tonight."

After the boss took the manager away, Feng Zhengming looked at the young men standing there.

"Wait a while if you want to eat. Wait until the food from the hotel is delivered. I'll assign a few people to make something for you."

The looks of the young men looking at Feng Zhengming had changed.

They probably didn't expect that Feng Zhengming actually had such an identity.

Their families are all rich and noble, and they have come here to play on weekends more than once or twice.

Their family was also very polite to the hotel's big boss.

I also heard from my family that the hotel boss is of extraordinary status.

But it is obvious that even the hotel boss has to maintain a respectful attitude in front of Feng Zhengming.

Through the conversation, the young people also learned that Feng Zhengming was the legendary national cooking champion.

Knowing Feng Zhengming's identity, the young men did not dare to act recklessly in front of him. "I didn't expect you to be the champion Feng."

"We were so embarrassed that we didn't recognize him."

"I really admire you. You can start a business with your own skills and open four stores in Shanghai. It's really amazing."

“My dad always says that you are not only a great chef, but also a good businessman.”

After listening to what the young men said, Feng Zhengming looked at Jiang Chengzhe and others around him.

Then he started laughing.

"Hahaha, are you all complimenting people like this? Since you speak so nicely, then come eat with us later."

The young men were immediately excited and continued to praise Feng Zhengming.

Jiang Chengzhe and others saw this and couldn't help but admire Feng Zhengming.

Everyone feels that Feng Zhengming seems to be able to chat with anyone.

Just by looking at the clothes worn by the young men in front of me, it is not difficult to tell that their families must have a certain amount of capital.

Such young people are often spoiled by their families and tend to be a little bit arrogant.

But deep down they also admire people who are truly capable.

Just like Feng Zhengming.

If Feng Zhengming was just a chef, even if he was the top winner of a national cooking competition, people would probably just be polite to him on the surface.

But as several young people said, Feng Zhengming is not only a top chef, but also a successful businessman.

Not to mention the many stores he has across the province of Qilu, the four stores in Shanghai alone are enough to establish his position in the Shanghai catering industry.

This is not something that can be achieved simply by having good skills.

Among several young people, one had once heard his parents talking about it at home.

In his parents' eyes, Feng Zhengming is a very successful businessman.

His parents both felt that Feng Zhengming knew how to maximize the use of his status as the national number one scholar and was very good at operations.

Although it seems that this action is for the promotion of Chinese cuisine, in fact the person who ultimately benefits the most is Feng Zhengming himself.

Of course, the young man’s parents also made it clear.

Feng Zhengming was able to do this because of his status as the top scholar and his cooking skills that no one in the culinary industry could find fault with.

So after being invited by Feng Zhengming, he was able to eat with them the food they brought.

Those young people really regarded Feng Zhengming as their big brother.

I even helped to clean up and put the barbecued food on the table.

Later, the hotel sent someone to deliver some things, and a few young men even directed the hotel staff to put the things in place.

Don’t let the hotel’s stuff be mixed with Feng Zhengming and his friends’ own stuff.

The hotel owner came over again and handed Feng Zhengming a check.

Feng Zhengming didn't even look at the amount of money on it. He smiled and handed it to his wife Luo Qing to keep.

"Thank you, boss. We will definitely help your hotel organize the bonfire party tonight so that all the hotel guests who come to participate tonight can have an unforgettable bonfire party."

When the boss saw that Feng Zhengming didn't even look at him, he was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't find it strange.

The boss thought that Feng Zhengming must be just as the legend said and had made a lot of money from his store in recent years.

This also eliminated the boss's original idea of ​​whether he could spend a high price to invite Feng Zhengming to be the hotel's head chef.
He is already a big boss in the catering industry, how could he be invited so easily?
Although the boss appeared calm on the surface when he gave the check, he felt a little pain in his heart.

However, the hotel owner felt much better when he thought of Feng Zhengming as a big boss in the domestic catering industry.

I even feel that paying out that check will allow Feng Zhengming and his team to host the bonfire party at the hotel tonight, which is totally worth it.

At the following bonfire party, Feng Zhengming did not disappoint everyone in the hotel.

Not only did he lead the young chefs to prepare a variety of different kinds of food.

He also organized various programs with young people.

Finally, everyone danced around the bonfire together.

This grand scene and this kind of experience may be something that many guests who come to the hotel have never experienced before.

So everyone played together until very late, waiting for the bonfire to gradually die out.

As the bonfire party came to an end, everyone even stayed on the beach, some not wanting to leave.

However, Feng Zhengming had already made arrangements and would take their daughter back with his wife Luo Qing first.

My daughter is still young, it’s impossible for her to stay up late with everyone.

Besides, some of the programs that will take place on the beach are not suitable for my daughter to watch.

Feng Zhengming instructed people in several stores to be careful not to let anyone get lost. He also reminded some waitresses to respect themselves and not be fooled by the sweet words of some bad men.

On the way back, Luo Qing saw her daughter had fallen asleep in her father's arms.

She leaned closer to her husband and asked in a low voice, "Do you think anyone will catch a rich husband tonight?"

Feng Zhengming laughed: "Hahaha, do you think it's possible?"

Luo Qing: "Those young men who followed you at night, I think they all come from wealthy families."

Feng Zhengming: "Yes, those who can come to this hotel to play must have money at home.

But their families are rich, so naturally their families will consider their partners more. It is not easy for a waitress in a store to catch a rich husband."

Luo Qing: "Don't cause any trouble because of a bonfire party."

Feng Zhengming: "We are all adults now. We should be responsible for our own choices."

Luo Qing: "You are the boss, you have to take care of it too."

Feng Zhengming: "I have already reminded them. If they make mistakes again, what can I do?"

Luo Qing thought about it and felt that her husband really had no other choice.

After all, they are all adults, and he can't just take them back and lock them up.

Feng Zhengming: "Okay, don't think too much, just be happy. If anything goes wrong, just call the police."

Luo Qing: "I don't think the police will be called, right?"

Feng Zhengming: “It shouldn’t be that serious.”

After Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing took their daughter away, the atmosphere on the beach did gradually become ambiguous.

Some young girls in the store were naturally approached by guests from the hotel.

There are even some foreigners among them.

However, because all the men in the store were there, it was almost impossible for the people in the hotel to succeed.

Even those young men who were familiar with Feng Zhengming and his men, none of them succeeded in the end.

However, there was also a smart waitress who exchanged phone numbers with the young man.

Jiang Chengzhe did not stop this, nor did he stop others from intervening.

"Don't worry about it. They leave contact information with each other and contact each other privately. It's a free love relationship. We are not their parents. We can't interfere too much."

Jiang Chengzhe's words made sense to those who wanted to stop him.

In the end, Jiang Chengzhe brought all the people from the four stores back to their residences, leaving no one alone on the beach. (End of this chapter)
