From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 170 It’s not a bad thing to come to your door

Feng Zhengming finished selling box lunches at the South Railway Station at noon and was closing the stall when Luo Qing came out from get off work to look for him.

"You sold out so quickly again?"

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Because there are more customers in the shop now, I bring fewer people to the train station, so they sell faster."

Luo Qing said: "You are right. We have been notified that we may have to go back to our old station soon."

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he looked at Luo Qing and asked, "Isn't this the south station needed?"

While helping Feng Zhengming pack his things, Luo Qing replied: "No, it's not necessary. The South Station was originally a freight station, and it should be restored to a freight station in the future. Passenger traffic will no longer stop here."

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he looked at the crowd setting up stalls around him.

"It seems that everyone here will go their separate ways from now on."

Luo Qing nodded: "Yes, freight will resume here in the future. If there is no passenger transport, no one will come here."

Then Luo Qing said to Feng Zhengming: "Don't be afraid, your shop is not doing very well now? And I have heard about it. Now many people are spreading the word that Feng's dry rice shop not only sells meat, pig's trotters and... The Sixi meatballs are made well, the young boss’s cooking skills are also good, and the fried vegetables are better than those of the old chef from Jubinyuan.”

Feng Zhengming was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "Who spread all this?"

Luo Qing said: "Many people are saying this now, even Sister Wang knows it."

Feng Zhengming smiled bitterly and said: "My craftsmanship may indeed be good, but it certainly cannot be said to be better than the craftsmanship of Master Jubinyuan."

Luo Qing asked: "How could it be? Your cooking skills must be pretty good."

Feng Zhengming cleaned up the garbage discarded around the stall.

Then he said seriously to Luo Qing: "My craftsmanship is not bad, but you can't just say that I am better than other master chefs. After all, Jubinyuan is a very famous restaurant, and the popularity of Jubinyuan has always been their unique skill. Maybe some young apprentices are not very good at their craftsmanship, but the master’s craftsmanship is definitely not bad.”

Luo Qing looked at Feng Zhengming and saw that he was explaining so seriously. She couldn't help but think that Feng Zhengming was quite cute like this.

"Customers don't know what's behind it. Customers must know who makes it delicious. They all say whose craftsmanship is good."

Then Luo Qing scolded Jubinyuan again: "The food in Jubinyuan is really not good now. I heard from Sister Wang that last time they went to Jubinyuan for a banquet, the food there was very small, and there were many cooked dishes. It all tastes wrong.”

Feng Zhengming thought for a while and said: "I have never eaten at Jubinyuan, but I went out to participate in exchanges with my master before and met the masters at Jubinyuan. I think those masters' craftsmanship will not go wrong."

After a slight pause, Feng Zhengming said with certainty: "It should be that the apprentice made a mistake."

Luo Qing said: "When the apprentice makes a mistake, it's because the master didn't teach him well. The apprentices in Jubinyuan are definitely not much younger than you. Some of them may be older than you, but they can't do as well as you. That means the master didn't teach him well." good."

When Luo Qing said this, Feng Zhengming thought about it seriously and felt that this was the truth.

Since the apprentice is allowed to go to the stove, the master must be watching from the side.

At least the dishes sent by the apprentices should be inspected before serving.

If you let the apprentice's poorly cooked dishes be served to the table.

That also shows that the master master did not seriously supervise the apprentice's cooking.

As Luo Qing said, if there is something wrong with the apprentice's cooking, in the final analysis, it is because the master did not teach him well, or the master's requirements are not strict enough.

Seeing Feng Zhengming deep in thought, Luo Qing asked softly: "Are you worried that they will come looking for you?"

Feng Zhengming came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Isn't it good that they come to see me? For a restaurant as big as Jubinyuan, because my cooking is rumored to be better than theirs, coming to see me doesn't mean that they have recognized my strength. ?”

When Luo Qing heard what Feng Zhengming said, she was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was true.

"Yes, if they come looking for you, no matter whether you are better at craftsmanship than the old master, it will be a recognition of you. From now on, your Feng Family Restaurant will be as famous as Jubinyuan."

Feng Zhengming smiled and shook his head: "There is still a gap between being as famous as Jubinyuan, but it is indeed an honor for me to be approached by the master of Jubinyuan." After packing their things, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing left the South Railway Station together. .

Seeing Feng Zhengming closing up his stall, many vendors would take the initiative to say hello and say goodbye to him.

Feng Zhengming naturally responded to everyone kindly and said goodbye.

After watching Feng Zhengming go away, some traders gathered together to talk about him.

"Boss Xiao Feng is really awesome. He sells lunch boxes here. Not only does he make his name famous, but he also has such a beautiful girlfriend."

"No, now when we mention the meat, he is the first thing everyone thinks of."

"I heard that Boss Xiao Feng's shop in the city is also very famous."

"It's very noisy. I heard that Boss Xiao Feng will cook and sell vegetables in the shop at night. Many people say that Boss Xiao Feng's craftsmanship is better than that of the chefs from big restaurants."

"I've also heard that it's boss Xiao Feng who cooks better dishes than those in Jubinyuan."

"Explosive food? What kind of food is that?"

"Pao Cai is a dish made with the cooking method of popping, such as three kinds of popping, stir-frying diced chicken in sauce, and frying double crispy in oil."

"Wow, those are really difficult dishes to make."

After hearing everyone's discussion about Feng Zhengming, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing, the lunch sellers, now understood that they could not be Feng Zhengming's opponents.

The couple may need to find other places to sell box lunches next.

And Feng Zhengming has now become famous.

Even the reputation of good craftsmanship spread, and then others were no longer on the same track as him.

Luo Qing accompanied Feng Zhengming on her bike back. On the way, she asked curiously: "How did your master teach you in the first place? I feel like you and senior brother are both very powerful."

When Feng Zhengming heard Luo Qing mention his master, he naturally began to miss his master.

Recalling the scene when Master was teaching everyone in the kitchen.

Feng Zhengming replied: "Master taught us respect, respect for guests, respect for materials, and respect for our own profession.

Master has warned us that only if we know how to respect these things and always have a heart of awe, can we take them seriously every time we cook and not let our craftsmanship go out of shape. "

When Luo Qing heard these words, she suddenly felt a little in awe.

"Master is such a good master."

Feng Zhengming said with a look of reverence: "In my heart, Master is the best Master."

The two were riding together at the intersection heading to the brewery, and saw Zhang Lei and Yang Peng waiting on the road from a distance.

Seeing Feng Zhengming coming on a tricycle, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng waved to him from afar to signal him to come over.

Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing came forward together, both wondering what they were doing waiting here.

Seeing Feng Zhengming coming, Zhang Lei couldn't wait to say: "Master asked us to wait here for my junior uncle. Junior uncle, do you have time to go to the canteen?"

Feng Zhengming saw that Zhang Lei was very anxious and felt that his senior brother might have something important to do with him.

"Come on, I'll go to the cafeteria with you."

Before Feng Zhengming could ask, Luo Qing said directly: "I'm not in a hurry to go home, let's go together."
