From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 15 Craftsmanship is widely recognized
  Not long after Feng Zhengming left, middle-aged station policeman Liu Daxing, who bought a box lunch, led the young station policeman on another inspection and finally returned to the lounge with time to eat.

When Qiu Bin, a young station police officer, saw Liu Daxing taking out a lunch box, he looked down on the lunch box.

"Brother Liu, are you really going to eat this lunch? The man said it was freshly made in the brewery cafeteria. Who knows if that's true? Besides, is it clean to sell it with an open pot on the roadside?"

Liu Daxing smiled and said, "Xiaoqiu, if you ask anyone who knows the brewery canteen, they will all be able to tell that Lin Jiacheng is the one who contracted the canteen. But if you ask them Li Huidong, they will definitely not be able to tell."

Qiu Bin was a little curious: "Brother Liu, who is that Li Huidong?"

Liu Daxing said: "Didn't the young man selling box lunches say that he is the contractor of the brewery canteen?"

Qiu Bin was still a little confused.

Liu Daxing simply said: "Lin Jiacheng contracted the canteen because he handled interpersonal relationships well and knew a lot of people, so he was able to contract the brewery canteen. But Lin Jiacheng knows how to play with relationships, but he doesn't You know how to cook, why don’t you contract the canteen to cook for other brewery employees?”

When Qiu Bin heard this, he immediately said, "Oh, that Li Huidong is the cook."

Liu Daxing said: "Yes, let me tell you, Li Huidong is a chef from Yanxi Tower."

Qiu Bin was suddenly a little surprised: "The chef from Yanxi Tower? So powerful?"

Liu Daxing had already opened the lunch box and said with a smile: "I understand, this lunch box is not worth it?"

Qiu Bin still doesn't like lunch boxes.

"Even if the chefs from Yanxi Tower are closed down now, the chef may not be able to make such a big pot dish as delicious."

Liu Daxing said: "Xiao Qiu, you are too young. Yanxi Tower has closed down and has little to do with the chef."

At this point, Liu Daxing did not continue talking, but began to eat the box lunch.

"Oh? The lunch box seller was quite honest. He gave a lot of pig intestines. The other two items were eggplant and cabbage. There was even oil residue in them. Not bad, not bad. They look good."

After complimenting him, Liu Daxing finally moved his chopsticks.

He took a bite of the food first. After taking the first bite, Liu Daxing's eyes widened immediately.

He looked at the box full of vegetables in front of him in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Daxing quickly started eating along with the dishes without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Daxing was just minding his own business and devouring the food.

Within a few minutes, Liu Daxing had finished eating a box of rice.

He got up and went to get the staff meals distributed by the station.

Put all the vegetables aside, then use the vegetables bought by Feng Zhengming to accompany the rice, and wolfed down the rice for the staff meal.

Qiu Bin watched Liu Daxing eat two portions of rice in the blink of an eye.

Especially the employee meals distributed at the station, Qiu Bin knew very well how unpalatable the rice in them was.

But Liu Daxing was able to mix rice with the vegetables he bought and ate all the rice in the employee meal.

Finally full, Liu Daxing picked up the tea on the table and took a big sip.

After calming down, Liu Daxing took a breath and said, "Wow, it's delicious. It's really delicious."

Qiu Bin was a little stunned.

Then Qiu Bin came back to his senses and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"

Liu Daxing said: "It's delicious. It's worthy of being a chef from Yanxi House. His craftsmanship is unparalleled."

Qiu Bin still found it incredible: "Brother Liu doesn't know how to spend money. I'm sorry to say it's not delicious, right?"

Liu Daxing smiled and said: "Hahaha, do you think your brother Liu is trying to embarrass himself for 2 yuan?"

Then Liu Daxing said: "If you think about it carefully, if the lunch boxes sold by that young man were not delicious, would there be so many people lining up to buy his lunch boxes?"

When Liu Daxing said this, Qiu Bin was stunned.

Watching Liu Daxing finish his meal, he put away his things and sat there holding his teapot and drinking tea. Qiu Bin lowered his head again, looking at the work meal in front of him and feeling even more difficult to swallow.

Finally, Qiu Bin couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and walked out of the lounge.

Liu Daxing knew at a glance what Qiu Bin was going to do?
  He quickly shouted: "Don't go, they should have sold out their lunch boxes and left."

Qiu Bin just walked out of the lounge and stopped again when he heard Liu Daxing's words.

But after hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly walked outside the train station.

Until I arrived outside the station and looked from a distance, I saw that Feng Zhengming's box lunch stall was no longer there.

Qiu Bin suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Feng Zhengming pedaled his tricycle and returned to the backyard door of the brewery canteen in a happy mood.

Opening the big iron door, I just pushed the tricycle into the backyard of the cafeteria.

Zhang Lei, who saw him coming back, quickly ran over to help.

Feng Zhengming was a little surprised by Zhang Lei's enthusiasm.

"Is there anything going on in the cafeteria?"

Zhang Lei quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay. The dishes you cooked today were very popular. Your fried large intestine was sold out first, and the eggplant and lotus root were also sold out quickly."

Feng Zhengming immediately understood after hearing this. It seemed that the three dishes he cooked today should be relatively popular.

So when Zhang Lei saw him coming back, he was so enthusiastic because he wanted to please him and wanted to learn more skills from him in the future.

Feng Zhengming didn't point it out and said with a smile: "As long as the sales are good, my business is also good today. Three pots of vegetables and two buckets of rice have been sold out."

Zhang Lei immediately started flattering.

"Uncle Junior's craftsmanship is so good, shouldn't it be sold out?"

Feng Zhengming parked the tricycle, took down the three pots and two buckets, took them to the backyard pool, and immediately started cleaning the pots and buckets.

Zhang Lei quickly said: "Young uncle, there is no need to rush to wash it. Leave it here. When the canteen is closed, I will help you wash it together."

Feng Zhengming said: "I won't bother you. I have nothing to do when I come back. I just brushed it and hung it to dry. I can use it again at night."

Just as he was talking, Lin Jiacheng walked out and when he saw Feng Zhengming coming back, he also took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

"Zhengming is back? Are they sold out again today? It seems like the business at the train station is really good."

Feng Zhengming raised his head and looked at Lin Jiacheng and said, "Brother-in-law, I met a station policeman over there and asked me to say hello to him. He said his surname was Liu."

Lin Jiacheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered who the other party was.

"Oh, Liu Daxing, right? How did you meet him? Did he not let you sell lunch boxes at the station? How about my brother-in-law go and intercede for you tomorrow?"

Feng Zhengming said: "My brother-in-law, he didn't drive me away. I have to thank my brother-in-law for that. Without my brother-in-law's face, station police officer Liu would not have allowed me to sell lunch boxes outside the station."

Lin Jiacheng said with a smile: "As long as I don't drive you away, if Old Liu drives you away, I will go find him later."

Then Lin Jiacheng said: "Your cooking skills are really good. I heard at noon today that everyone liked the three dishes you cooked."

Feng Zhengming responded with a smile while washing the pot: "It was a coincidence. The three dishes I cooked are all very delicious, so they will be more popular. If it were my senior brother who cooked them, they would definitely sell a lot." good."

After hearing this, Lin Jiacheng said: "Zhengming, you are really humble. I think the 500 your senior brother gives you a month is a bit less. My brother-in-law will give you an extra 200."

Feng Zhengming said: "No need, brother-in-law, why don't I borrow the canteen to make lunch boxes? You and my senior brother take care of my food and accommodation, let me use the canteen to make lunch boxes, and give me back 500. I still make a profit."

Through last night and today's noon, Lin Jiacheng understood that Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship was no worse than that of his brother-in-law, and he understood that Feng Zhengming must be retained.

So he said directly: "Okay, let's make an agreement. From now on, you will get 700 per month."
