From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 160: Being too famous attracts opponents (first update, please subscribe)
  After Feng Zhengming himself promoted and diverted traffic at the train station, the business of the dry rice shop quickly became lively.

Almost every day at lunch time, some people would come to the shop in groups to eat.

Although it is not enough to make the shop overcrowded, the ten tables in the shop can basically be filled one after another.

The first thing to be sold out in the shop is the same as Feng Zhengming’s box lunch stall at the train station, which must be the five-spice boneless pork hooves.

There are even some people in nearby residential areas in the city who will go to the shop at noon to buy a pig's trotter and take it home.

As the business in the shop gets better and better, there are more and more repeat customers.

Naturally, the reputation of Feng's restaurant became famous.

In fact, there are already dry rice shops selling handfuls of meat in urban areas.

Originally, everyone's business was similar, and there was some competition between them, but it didn't have much influence on each other.

It was only when the Feng Family Restaurant became famous.

More and more people began to talk about it and took the initiative to choose to eat at the Feng Family Restaurant.

Naturally, the business of some dry rice shops and meat stalls in the city has deteriorated.

Most of the rice shops and people selling meat on the streets in the city just noticed that the business seemed to be not as good as before, and did not think too much about why it had deteriorated?
  But the owner of a long-standing meat jerky restaurant on the old street gradually realized something was wrong.

It seemed that at meal time every day, fewer and fewer people came to his house to eat.

This dry rice shop has been open on the old street for many years.

The boss is a fat man in his thirties named Zhao Chaoxing.

Zhao Chaoxing is a very business-savvy person who can understand market changes first.

In fact, not long after Feng Zhengming went to the train station to set up a stall, Zhao Chaoxing had thought about going to the train station to sell meat.

His thoughts at that time were similar to Feng Zhengming's thoughts later when he started selling meat.

Zhao Chaoxing wanted to sell handfuls of meat at the train station and take advantage of the passenger flow at the train station to gradually become famous for selling his own pork and make his own rice shop famous.

At the same time, Zhao Chaoxing had further ideas than Feng Zhengming. He wanted to create his own brand after becoming famous.

He even thought of a name, so he named it "Chaoxingxing" after his own restaurant.

It's just that things are often like that.

After Zhao Chaoxing prepared for a period of time, he specially found someone to customize a cart, and asked someone to put the "Chaoxingxing" brand on the cart, in order to make him famous at the train station in one fell swoop.

As a result, Zhao Chaoxing's customized cart was delayed until he went to the train station for an on-site inspection.

I found that Feng Zhengming had already started selling meat there.

Without revealing his identity, Zhao Chaoxing even bought a handful of Feng Zhengming's meat.

Zhao Chaoxing was somewhat surprised to eat Feng Zhengming's meat.

In the past, Zhao Chaoxing had absolute confidence in his own meat.

Because even though there are many meat sellers in the city, when it comes to taste, they are definitely not as good as Zhao Chaoxing's "Chaoxingxing" dry rice shop.

Zhao Chaoxing also relied on this skill to buy the current shop on the old street in the city.

With the establishment of this shop in the old street, Chaoxingxing has become a well-known pork jerky rice shop by virtue of its location on the old street in the city.

Zhao Chaoxing didn't expect that a little-known young man at the train station would cook better meat than his own.

After eating Feng Zhengming's meat, Zhao Chaoxing naturally no longer considered going to the train station.

But Zhao Chaoxing didn't expect that soon the reputation of the train station's meat would spread.

When Zhao Chaoxing heard from his family, someone on the street was talking about buying a handful of meat, and he had to buy it from a young man at the train station. Zhao Chaoxing really regretted it.

He obviously came up with a good idea to publicize and become famous.

As a result, a young man suddenly appeared and took over the idea he had thought of.

However, Zhao Chaoxing was not completely discouraged.

He still registered the brand "Chaoxingxing" first.

Then he seriously conducted research on improving his own meat.

Zhao Chaoxing does have some skills. Although the taste he adjusted is still different from Feng Zhengming's, it at least makes many customers feel that it tastes better than before.

To maintain the reputation of his own meat, Zhao Chaoxing still pays attention to market changes.

In particular, he also thought that the South Station was only a temporary station. After the renovation of the square at the old station was completed, the boarding and alighting would definitely have to be moved back to the old station.

Therefore, Zhao Chaoxing judged that since Feng Zhengming had a reputation for selling meat at the train station, he would definitely open a shop in the city in advance.

Zhao Chaoxing began to pay attention to the shops on the old street and the shops in some neighborhoods around the old street.

Want to see in advance where Feng Zhengming will open a store?
  At the same time, Zhao Chaoxing did something very advanced. He found a shop near the old train station in advance.

Although the shop he found was some distance away from the train station, he still decisively took it.

Then we started looking for someone to decorate the shop in full swing.

Zhao Chaoxing was not in a hurry to open the store, but asked the people who hired him to decorate it to decorate both the inside and outside of the store as required.

Zhao Chaoxing even decorated this dry rice shop with reference to some foreign Western-style fast food restaurants.

Zhao Chaoxing's idea is very simple, he still needs to seize the market in advance.

The South Railway Station has been overtaken by others.

This time, when I get on and off the bus and return to the old station, I have to seize the market in advance at the old station.

You need to decorate your new store to be eye-catching enough, so that when people get on and off the train, even people coming to Quancheng from other places, when they get off the train and walk out of the train station, they will immediately see that your new store is the most conspicuous.

Zhao Chaoxing is indeed very business savvy.

Originally, he thought that with this series of operations, he should be able to become invincible.

But what Zhao Chaoxing didn't expect was that he only paid attention to the shops in the old street and surrounding neighborhoods. Naturally, he didn't notice Feng Zhengming's appearance.

Because Feng Zhengming did not choose to open a store near the old street, but chose a place some distance away from the old street.

It can even be said that the place Feng Zhengming chose to open his store is already considered a new neighborhood.

Zhao Chaoxing didn't notice Feng Zhengming's appearance, so he naturally relaxed some of his vigilance.

Another thing that Zhao Chaoxing didn't expect was that the reputation of Feng Zhengming's shop would rise so quickly.

The new store at Zhao Chaoxing Railway Station has not yet been renovated, but rumors about Feng Zhengming's store have begun to spread around the city.

He even heard many people saying it.

"If you want to eat a handful of pork, you must go to Fengjiagang Restaurant. Their pork is really the most delicious."

"Their pig's trotters are also delicious. Pair the pork trotters with the pork trotters and a side of rice. It's really delicious."

"And the little boss is very nice. He taught everyone how to make noodles before. I tried it when I went home and it was really delicious."

After hearing these rumors, Zhao Chaoxing finally couldn't sit still and decided to go to Feng's restaurant to find out in person.
