From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 102 A happy home (please subscribe, 310)

After his second daughter and daughter-in-law finished washing the dishes and came out, Feng Zonggu stood up and yawned.

"Okay, I'm a little sleepy. Let's go in and take a nap. If you have something to do, you can leave first. You don't need to tell me. If there is nothing else, you can make your own arrangements in the afternoon."

After saying that, the old man went into the house to sleep and closed the door.

Then everyone in the living room looked at each other for a moment, not knowing what to say?
  After all, Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan were children. They didn't leave because of their old man, so they didn't know how to get along with their new brother.

On the contrary, when they saw the old man returning to the house to take a nap, the two children chatted more openly with Feng Zhengming.

Zhang Hongwei asked directly: "Cousin, before you became an apprentice, were you wandering around?"

Hearing her son's question, Feng Suying frowned and said, "Weiwei, do you ask your brother that question?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, second aunt. I was taken in by my master. Before I became an apprentice in the back kitchen of Yanxi Building, I had been wandering. Anyway, the master wanted food and the west asked for money. But although sometimes I didn't I've never stolen anything when I'm hungry."

Feng Shengnan then asked: "Brother, why do you learn to cook?"

Feng Zhengming continued to explain: "I met Master in the vegetable market. At that time, I saw a thief cutting someone's bag with a knife. I went up to remind him, but he was framed as a thief. Master stood up and testified for me. , and later took me to the back kitchen of Yanxi Building and gave me a bowl of rice.

I ate the bowl of rice given by Master and thought that Master's cooking was delicious, so I knelt down and wanted to become a disciple. "

While Feng Zhengming was narrating, everyone in the family sat down and listened to him carefully.

When the third uncle Feng Jiandong heard that Feng Zhengming knelt down to become his disciple, he couldn't help but said: "You are brave and direct enough."

Zhang Hongwei asked: "Then your master accepts you?"

Feng Zhengming shook his head: "Master confiscated me at that time, but he allowed me to work as a handyman in the back kitchen of Yanxi Building. I officially became a master about two years ago, and then I started to learn cooking from master."

Feng Suying asked: "So how long have you stayed in the back kitchen of Yanxi Building?"

Feng Zhengming replied: "I stayed there for a total of six years."

Lin Yun couldn't help but exclaimed: "You have to do odd jobs for four years before you can become a disciple?"

Zhang Zhigang said: "It seems that Zhengming's four years of chores were not in vain. He must have learned a lot, right?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, I said I was a handyman. In the second year after joining the kitchen, I started to learn some things from my senior brothers."

Feng Jiandong said: "It's a pity that Yanxi Tower has such a good sign, but it was smashed, and in the end it had to be closed down."

Lin Yun was a little strange: "The food cooked by Zhengming for lunch is very good. It is said that with Zhengming's master and senior brother here, how could Yanxi Tower be closed down in the end?"

Feng Jiandong said: "Aren't those people who contracted the operation stupid...?"

Feng Suying heard her younger brother swearing and glared at her younger brother: "Can you be more careful what you say at home? Do you always do this when you go out to discuss business with others? There are children at home, so you don't speak through your brain."

Lin Yun immediately complained: "Second sister, you don't know, he is like this at home, always using all kinds of swear words."

When Feng Jiandong heard his wife's complaint, he could only be very obedient in front of his sister.

"Sister, I promise, I will change it in the future."

Feng Shengnan said: "Dad, please promise my second aunt that you will change your behavior. You are not allowed to say bad words at home in the future."

Feng Jiandong had no choice but to say: "Okay, I promise not to tell."

Feng Zhengming looked at the scene in front of him and felt that the family atmosphere was really good.

He now somewhat understands why Grandpa Feng's three children are able to do something on their own.

Obviously, Grandpa and Grandma Feng not only strictly disciplined them since childhood, but more importantly, they also mobilized some of the children's own enthusiasm and encouraged them to do what they wanted to do.

It can be seen from what Grandpa Feng said that the second aunt went to serve as a soldier behind the family's back.

Grandpa Feng and Grandma should not interfere too much with their children's choices.

And this family atmosphere has been well inherited and continued. Both Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan received a very relaxed education environment at home.

Feng Jiandong felt that it was boring to talk like this, so he suggested that he simply go to the yard to play poker.

"It's a nice day outside today. Let's move a small table and chairs to the yard to play poker. Anyway, I've put down everything for today and there's nothing else to do. Second sister and second brother-in-law, are you okay?"

Feng Suying and her husband looked at each other.

Zhang Zhigang understood what his wife meant and said with a smile: "We are fine too. I just came back to see my dad today. I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. It would be nice to play poker together."

Feng Suying said: "Let us first agree that we are not allowed to play with money, just for fun."

Feng Jiandong agreed: "Okay."

They were placed in the small courtyard of Grandpa Feng’s house, and then Feng Zhengming, his second aunt, his second uncle, and his third uncle sat down to play first.

While playing cards, everyone continued to chat.

Then Lin Yun sat next to her husband to help with advice.

Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan sat behind Feng Zhengming, saying they wanted to give their brother advice.

As a result, Zhang Hongwei came up with random ideas, causing Feng Zhengming to lose the first round.

Next to him, Feng Shengnan complained: "Oh, brother Hongwei, please don't give orders randomly. You see, brother Zhengming has lost. You are not allowed to speak in the next round."

Zhang Hongwei said: "I just performed abnormally. I will definitely perform well this time."

It was particularly interesting for the four adults to see the three children presenting a united front.

Feng Zhengming is very good at acting as the eldest brother. Even if he loses at cards played by his younger brothers and sisters, he still does not feel unhappy at all. On the contrary, he will mediate the quarrels between his younger brothers and sisters.

Playing poker, everyone's relationship became more harmonious.

Feng Jiandong continued to ask: "By the way, Zhengming, do you have a girlfriend?"

Feng Zhengming did not hide it: "Yes, we have just started talking."

Feng Jiandong then asked: "Really? We've already talked about it? What is it for?"

Feng Zhengming said: "It's the conductor at the train station."

After saying these two serious words, Feng Jiandong once again revealed his true colors.

"The conductor is not good. You must open your own store from now on. If you are your own boss, it is not feasible to find a conductor. Later, my third uncle will introduce you to a few better ones. They are all college students, and they are all very smart."

After hearing this, Feng Suying couldn't help but stretched out her foot and stepped on her brother.

"You can't be serious, can you? In front of the children, do you look like a father, uncle and brother-in-law?"

Feng Jiandong was stepped on and said by his sister, and he immediately felt a pair of cold eyes next to him.

He quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Honey, I was joking with Zhengming. You don't know who I meet every day. How could I possibly meet some female college student?"

Lin Yun sneered and said, "You are so eloquent, why not go to the train station with Zhengming to set up a stall and sell lunch boxes."

Feng Suying said: "This is a good suggestion. From now on, Zhengming will let your third uncle follow you, let him help you, and let him pay you every month. Thank you for giving him the opportunity to reform."

After hearing this, Feng Jiandong said: "This, this I have become a labor reformer."

Zhang Zhigang said with a smile: "We call this 'precaution before it happens', and we will give you a warning in advance."

Such a conversation made everyone laugh.

Feng Zonggu heard the laughter of adults and children in the yard in the house, and looked at his wife's portrait with joy on his face.
