From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 198 Some people make up stories and make jokes

The people at noon were sent away, and Feng Zhengming kept the door locked in the afternoon, but he was not disturbed again.

But in the evening when it opens for business.

As soon as the door was opened, the first wave of people who came in were those who wanted to become apprentices, or people who wanted to learn how to make meat.

Feng Zhengming could only patiently explain to this group of people again. His attitude was very clear that he would accept a disciple and would not teach others the recipe of the pork meat for the time being.

After sending this group of people away, the shop finally welcomed its first wave of customers in the evening.

The first wave of customers who walked in were basically old customers of the Feng Family Restaurant.

From the first day Fengjiagan Restaurant opened, many of these customers started coming.

Especially some of the people working at nearby construction sites.

They basically come here every day.

Especially when work is done in the evening, a few people often pool their money together and come here to order a few dishes and have a drink or two.

Although they are somewhat artificially located outside the city, some distance from the Feng Family Restaurant.

But they would still gather in groups after work and take buses to come to the Feng family restaurant.

Because in Fengjiagang Restaurant, they will not be discriminated against by the boss when eating.

Moreover, the food at Fengjiagang Restaurant will be quite sufficient.

Especially after a busy day at the construction site, these people not only want to drink a few sips of wine in the evening, but also want to eat some meaty dishes.

It can be said that both of these can be satisfied at Fengjiagang Restaurant.

"The little boss is still the same."

"Yes, as usual, let's have a stir-fried three kinds of food, including sweet-scented osmanthus meat and shredded potatoes."

In addition to this group of people who come to the construction site, there are also some people who work in nearby factories. They don't come every day. Usually they are friends who are hungry for wine and make an appointment to have a meal at Fengjiagang Restaurant.

Basically, most of the things you order are similar to what you get at the construction site.

The reason why I chose Fengjiagang Restaurant was also because it was affordable.

Of course, when they come in the evening, in addition to ordering dishes, most of them will also cook pork belly and five-spice boneless hooves.

There is also the last type of regular customers, who come just to buy meat, pig's trotters or Sixi meatballs.

Most of the time they buy these and don’t keep them in the shop to eat.

I usually pass by after get off work and don't want to go home to cook in the evening, so I buy a handful of pork, pig's trotters and Sixi meatballs from Fengjiagang Restaurant and take them home to eat.

These three types of customers basically constitute the core consumer group of Fengjiagan Restaurant.

Feng Zhengming will treat them well, and they can choose from meatballs, pig's trotters and Sixi meatballs.

The dishes Feng Zhengming cooks for them will always be of larger portions and slightly saltier in taste.

After all, whether you are on a construction site or in a factory, you will sweat a lot, especially in the summer.

The dishes are a little salty, so I can give you some extra salt.

Today, when a group of old customers came in, they also saw those who came in before, clamoring to become apprentices and learn how to make meat.

Most of the people who come to the construction site don’t have much time to read newspapers, so they don’t really understand what’s going on?

"Little boss, what's going on with you? Why do so many people want to become apprentices?"

"Yes, little boss, is your reputation for being a bitch so famous now?"

"As you said, my little boss makes pork trotters, pig's trotters, and Sixi meatballs well. Isn't that known to everyone?"

"So those people just came here because of their reputation and wanted to learn a craft?"

Before Feng Zhengming could answer, a group of people who were off work in the factory immediately helped to give the answer.

"You guys probably don't know, right? Master Xiao Feng is a celebrity now."

"Yes, Master Xiao Feng is our famous chef in Quan City."

"That's right, a truly skilled chef."

Then someone detailed Feng Zhengming’s trip to Jubinyuan for a cooking exchange.

Some people even add fuel to the story, as if telling a story.

I made up this story: Feng Zhengming went to a meeting alone and fought against three generations of chefs from Jubinyuan, old, middle and young.

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but wonder whether this was the prototype of an Internet joke?

Although Feng Zhengming felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

But being told such a fabricated joke is really attractive.

Many people in the shop forgot to order, and just sat there with great interest.

Even Zhang Hongwei and Chen Anbang came out to listen.

Feng Shengnan even stood at the cashier, head stretched out and listening with interest.

Feng Zhengming looked at the scene in front of him and finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Don't just listen, everyone, we are not a storyteller's teahouse. Are you not going to eat tonight? Are you ready because I heard that Shuding is hungry?"

Being interrupted like this, many people present suddenly came to their senses.

Then the person who specializes in buying meat, pig's trotters and Sixi meatballs goes to the counter to buy things.

Some people who were going to have dinner in the shop sat down and started discussing what to order.

However, while ordering, I did not forget to urge a few storytellers to continue telling the story of Feng Zhengming’s cooking exchange.

Feng Zhengming really doesn't know what this is called?

Feng Zonggu smiled and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I think this story is quite interesting. It seems that everyone still likes you very much, otherwise no one would make up such a story for you."

Feng Zhengming didn't know what to say when his grandfather told him?

In the end, I could only let the people in the shop talk and joke about my cooking exchange process.

When the guests ordered, Feng Zhengming directly pulled Chen Anbang into the kitchen to cook.

The previous joke about Feng Zhengming continues.

"You don't know that it was really tense at the time. The five of us on both sides were all top chefs in Quancheng. The scene was very tense. No one was convinced by the other. Then both parties selected the ingredients and made an agreement. If selected, the other party cannot use it again.

do you know? Master Xiao Feng and senior brother directly chose sea cucumber, and then do you know what the opponent chose? "

The joker deliberately paused here, causing everyone listening to rush anxiously.

"What did you choose? Tell me quickly."

"Yes, tell me quickly."

Seeing that everyone was anxious, the joker said: "The other party chose the elbow."

"You chose the elbow? What's the point?"

Zhang Hongwei heard this from the side and couldn't help but interject: "My brother's senior brother was not allowed to do sea cucumber steak, so they chose the elbow away."

The joker quickly said to Zhang Hongwei: "Don't interrupt, you already know it, don't others know it?"

Zhang Hongwei was a little unconvinced, but his grandfather called him away.

"Stop just listening. Go to the back and help your brother."

Zhang Hongwei was pulled away, still a little unfinished: "Grandpa, I want to hear it too."

Feng Zong asked with a smile: "What's so good? Don't you know everything about the process? You saw it live. How can the story they made up be more exciting than what you saw with your own eyes?"

After his grandfather said this, Zhang Hongwei thought it was right and immediately no longer wanted to hear it. This night, someone joked about Feng Zhengming’s cooking exchange.

It really attracted many customers in the restaurant to listen.

After listening to this, everyone really admired Feng Zhengming.

At the same time, someone even asked Feng Zhengming directly.

“When can I order fried conch slices in vinegar and pepper fish soup?”

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but asked: "Do you think the back cook of our restaurant can cook that dish? We don't have the conditions, so don't think about it for now. If you really want to eat that dish, wait until I teach Jubinyuan and Taifeng Lou and Jufengde’s chefs, you can go to their three restaurants to have a try.”

Hearing this, some people couldn't help but say: "Those three are a bit expensive, and we can't afford them."

Feng Zhengming was even more dumbfounded: "If I make it, the price will not be cheap. The price of fresh conch alone is quite high, not to mention the need to use fish to stew the fish soup."

As a result, the customers in the shop immediately expressed that they wanted to try the food made by Feng Zhengming himself, no matter how expensive it was.

Hearing customers say this and seeing the sincere expressions on everyone’s faces.

Feng Zhengming was really touched at this moment. He didn't expect these customers to praise him so much.

"Thank you everyone. I really appreciate everyone's trust and support in me. If there is an opportunity in the future, or if I open my own restaurant one day, I will definitely cook it for everyone. When the time comes, you will go to my restaurant and I will cook it for you." More delicious food to eat, and it’s guaranteed to be of high quality and low price.”

Feng Zhengming's words received applause from everyone, and customers expressed their support.

In the evening, while the Feng Family Restaurant was open for business, some apprentices came to the door.

Naturally, they were all rejected by Feng Zhengming.

In the end, he was really helpless, so Feng Zhengming simply asked Feng Shengnan to add a line of words on the small blackboard of the menu in the shop.

"The boss doesn't accept apprentices. Please don't ask for apprenticeship."

When the old customers saw this line of words, they couldn't help laughing.

Several customers who had just taken a sip of beer burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, the little boss is really annoyed."

"I can't help it anymore. It's the first time I've seen someone being apprenticed and forced to write clearly that they won't accept disciples."

"Hahaha, Master Xiao Feng, you may be annoyed for a few more days."

"Why don't you, Master Feng, hurry up and open a restaurant? Once you open the restaurant, you can recruit apprentices."

"That's right, open a big restaurant and defeat Jubinyuan, Taifeng Tower, and Jufengde."

Faced with everyone's ridicule, Feng Zhengming felt much better.

"Thank you for your advice. When I make a lot of money from working as a restaurant owner, I will definitely open a big restaurant. By then, it will definitely become one of the best restaurants in Quancheng, in the province, no, in the country."

"Okay, be ambitious."

The old customers of Ganfanpu all applauded and shouted for Feng Zhengming.

The Feng Family Restaurant was really busy this evening.

When the business was over and Feng Zhengming and the others were still cleaning, Feng Jiandong made a special trip over.

Seeing Feng Jiandong enter, Feng Shengnan was the first to shout happily: "Dad."

Feng Jiandong walked in with a smile: "Is business particularly good today?"

Feng Shengnan said: "Our business is good every day because brother Zhengming is here."

Feng Jiandong then asked: "Are many people coming to seek apprenticeship from your brother Zhengming today?"

Feng Shengnan was a little strange: "Dad, how do you know?"

Feng Jiandong teased his daughter with a smile: "Because dad can count, and he will know it just by pinching his fingers."

Feng Shengnan pouted and didn't believe what his father said.

Feng Zhengming heard the sound and came out of the kitchen.

"Third uncle, have you eaten?"

Feng Jiandong nodded: "After eating, I came here once. There were too many people, so I went home to have a meal before coming back."

Feng Zhengming said: "Come in and say something, and I can make something for you, Third Uncle."

Feng Jiandong smiled and waved his hand: "I won't trouble you anymore."

Then Feng Jiandong asked Feng Zhengming to sit down. He had a serious chat with Feng Zhengming and first understood Feng Zhengming's thoughts on registering a trademark brand.

Feng Zhengming briefly told his third uncle about what he had talked with his grandfather in the afternoon and what he had thought of after being inspired by his grandfather.

Feng Jiandong was a little surprised after hearing this: "Zhengming, your idea is really too advanced."

Feng Zhengming said: "My grandpa reminded me. Now I am somewhat famous in Quancheng. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can just make my trademark brand famous. In the future, it will be smoother to open a branch or let others join."

Feng Jiandong nodded. He generally agreed with Feng Zhengming's idea.

In fact, when Feng Jiandong started doing business, he also thought about turning his own pork into a brand.

But at that time, Feng Jiandong had never learned how to make a bunch of meat, and secondly, Feng Jiandong felt that just making a bunch of meat products was a bit too simple.

And at that time, Feng Jiandong met his noble man, who took him to do foreign trade business with him.

Feng Jiandong did not make his own pork into a brand.

Now Feng Jiandong has some capital in his hands.

However, the foreign trade business was doing very well, and he no longer wanted to make any meat, or it should be said that he was a little disdainful before.

But now that Feng Zhengming appears, Feng Jiandong thinks that maybe he can make the meat into a brand.

The most important thing is that he has already seen Feng Zhengming's cooking skills.

Feng Zhengming runs Feng Jia Gan Rice Shop, which not only has handfuls of meat, but also five-spice boneless braised hooves and Sixi meatballs. It can be said that the variety is very rich.

This made Feng Jiandong feel that it was very promising to create his own brand.

Before coming tonight, Feng Jiandong also made some plans.

Including how to continue to operate the dry rice shop after establishing the brand, and how to increase the brand's popularity step by step.

How to develop in the future?

Open a branch or choose to let others join?

It can be said that Feng Jiandong has thought about these series of subsequent events and made careful and careful plans.

After talking with Feng Zhengming in detail, it can be said that many of the two people's ideas coincide with each other.

Feng Jiandong became a little bit happier the more he talked.

"Zhengming, you and I have so many ideas that coincide with each other. Now I feel that we may really be uncles and nephews. If we work together, we will definitely make our restaurant brand better and bigger."

Feng Zonggu came over at this time: "You are my uncle and nephew. You are the third uncle. Please help Zhengming more in the future."

Feng Jiandong immediately said: "Dad, don't worry. My sister also told me that we will fully support Zhengming. If you need help in the future, Zhengming just tell his second aunt and third uncle."

Feng Zhengming smiled and nodded: "Then I'm welcome."
