From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 176 Senior Brother brings people here

Li Huidong originally hurriedly finished the work in the cafeteria and wanted to bring his two apprentices, Zhang Lei and Yang Peng, to come over first to help.

But when Li Huidong arrived with his two apprentices.

Pushing the door open and entering Feng's restaurant, I saw a very lively scene inside.

Huang Tao saw Li Huidong coming with people, stood up and waved them over.

Seeing Huang Tao standing there waving, Li Huidong led his two apprentices and walked over immediately.

"Uncle Master."

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng also shouted: "Uncle Master."

Huang Tao was very proud to introduce several of his old friends.

"This is my senior disciple Yan's eldest apprentice, and these two are my eldest apprentice's two apprentices."

Huang Tao introduced a few more old friends and said, "These are famous gourmets in Quancheng."

After Huang Tao's introduction, Li Huidong and his two apprentices were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Huang Tao invited old friends, two of whom were from newspapers, one from a publishing house, and one from the Shandong Foodies Association.

Li Huidong met with several of them respectively.

"You're welcome, Chef Li. Today we have seen the true skills of Master Yan's apprentices." The Shandong Gourmet Association spoke first.

The two newspapers also expressed their recognition of Feng Zhengming's cooking skills.

"The meal that Lao Huang took us to tonight opened our eyes. Unexpectedly, there is a real dragon hidden in the rice shop on the street."

"Yes, tonight's stir-fried shrimp kidneys are not only very well cooked, but the shape and presentation of the dishes also allow us to see the beauty of real food."

The old friend from the publishing house finally said: "Hahaha, in short, your junior brother's dish tonight really convinced us."

After listening to what several people said, Li Huidong was naturally relieved for Feng Zhengming.

He smiled and said, "If you and my junior uncle are satisfied with the meal, then my little junior brother's hard work tonight will be in vain."

Huang Tao said: "Huidong, you don't have to be polite to us. We are definitely not good at cooking, but we are indeed good at eating. This time when I just came back, they mentioned to me that the current dishes in Jubinyuan were not good, and they even took the initiative to recommend them. Zhengming here, I didn’t expect that the boss here is actually my nephew.”

When Li Huidong heard his uncle's words, he was still very proud of his junior brother.

How long has it been?

The junior brother has already made his own reputation in Quan City.

Even these old gourmet friends of Uncle Master know about it.

Li Huidong was very happy for his junior brother Feng Zhengming.

Huang Tao said to Li Huidong: "You come first. Zhengming is still busy. You will have two drinks with us first."

Li Huidong naturally nodded and agreed. While sitting down, he asked his two apprentices to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything they needed help with.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng obediently walked outside the kitchen and said hello inside.

When Feng Zhengming saw the two of them, he knew that his senior brother was here.

He did not let the two of them in, but said: "No need to help, I just have two plates of food here. You go and accompany them first, I will be there in a moment."

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng did not dare to go back, but helped with some chores in the shop to pack things.

Seeing two people rushing to help with work, Zhang Hongwei and Duan Sufen were a little confused about what to do.

Originally, the restaurant's place wasn't very big, and most of the time I came here to buy meat.

Zhang Lei and Yang Peng rushed to help clear the table, leaving Zhang Hongwei and Duan Sufen with no work to do. Feng Zonggu couldn't help but smile when he looked at it: "It's okay, it's okay. If someone helps you work, just take a rest."

Feng Zhengming was relatively quick, frying the last two dishes and letting Chen Anbang take them out to serve.

He tidied up the kitchen, walked out and said to Shen Rongsen: "Old Shen, please help me keep an eye on it. I'll go over and say hello to my uncle and senior brother."

Everyone is familiar with him these days, especially after seeing Feng Zhengming's craftsmanship. Shen Rongsen no longer lets Feng Zhengming call him "big brother".

So Feng Zhengming also changed his tune these days and began to teach Shen Rongsen "Old Shen".

Shen Rongsen smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss."

Feng Zhengming walked out and said hello to the guests at several tables.

"Are you satisfied with your food?"

When the guest saw it was Feng Zhengming, he immediately responded to him with a smile.

"Satisfied, really satisfied."

"Boss, you really can't fault your craftsmanship."

"Your skills are definitely better than Jubinyuan."

"It looks like Master Yan from Yanxi Tower is more powerful. The skills he taught his apprentices are truly incredible."

Feng Zhengming smiled and bowed his hands to everyone: "Thank you for your compliments. Everyone is satisfied. You can come more often in the future. Our Feng Family Restaurant will definitely prepare the dishes for everyone."

Customers naturally said that they would definitely come back often when they have time.

Feng Zhengming greeted the customers and then walked to Uncle Huang Tao's table.

Looking at the senior brother sitting there, Feng Zhengming pointed at Zhang Lei and Yang Peng and said, "Brother, why did you bring Lei Zi and Xiao Peng and let them work as soon as you arrived? I don't have that much work here."

Li Huidong had already drank a few glasses of wine, looked at his two apprentices and smiled.

"Hahaha, it's okay. Let the two of them work more. The waiter's job also needs practice. When our senior brothers were in Yanxi Building, what didn't we do?"

Huang Tao heard this and said: "Huidong is right. Back then, apprentices had to do all kinds of work."

Li Huidong continued: "In the early days, we still had to light the stove for Master. The first thing to do in the early morning was to light the stove. Later, Master had to add coal to the side when cooking. We also had to pay attention to the big and small fires according to Master's requirements. "

Huang Tao said: "Yes, I did the coal refueling job for your master back then."

Li Huidong looked at the two apprentices and said: "They are much more relaxed now than we were at that time. There are gas stoves in the back kitchen, so they don't need to add coal, which means they have to work harder when harvesting."

Speaking of this, Li Huidong looked into the shop and said to Feng Zhengming: "Are you still not comfortable with the Dutch business? How about I ask Leizi or Xiaopeng to come over and help you for a while?"

Feng Zhengming waved his hand: "No need, senior brother. I don't have to cook big pot dishes here. They are basically quick stir-fries. I can mix and match them myself. Now Lao Shen and Anbang are gradually learning to keep up with my pace. Slowly I think they should be able to practice it slowly, I can’t always ask my senior brother to help me.”

Li Huidong said: "Why are you so polite to Senior Brother?"

Huang Tao smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you brothers will discuss it slowly later. Zhengming is already here, so let's have a drink together first. We want to thank Zhengming for showing us his true cooking skills tonight."

Several old friends of Huang Tao also said that they were very convinced by Feng Zhengming's cooking skills tonight.

Feng Zhengming said more modestly: "Thank you, Uncle Master, and everyone for your compliments. I just do what Master taught me well. It may not really be called cooking, but I will continue to work hard."

Then Feng Zhengming poured himself a glass of wine, picked it up and respectfully toasted to his uncle and others.

　If a relative in the family dies, the next two or three days may be busy. So I can only update twice a day for the next two or three days. When things are finished, I will adjust the status and give you more updates. Thank you all for your subscription and monthly support.
