From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 200 Luo Qing’s Second Uncle

Feng Zhengming registered the trademark, and soon through his third uncle's relationship, he replaced the door of Feng's restaurant.

In the upper left corner of the name of Fengjiagan Restaurant, the trademark "Zheng Lu Xing" is added.

Although many customers have not noticed the "Zheng Lu Xing" trademark due to this new sign, Feng Zhengming is confident that more and more people will know his brand in the future.

As the summer vacation comes to an end, Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan cannot go to the shop to help, so they go home to prepare for the start of school.

After losing two children, the Feng family's rice shop lost some of its childish joy.

However, business is still booming every day, and the constant flow of customers makes Feng Zhengming and the others very busy.

This kind of busyness does not feel hard at all.

Every day I see so many customers coming here out of joy and leaving after being satisfied with their meal at Fengjiagan Restaurant.

This is the greatest affirmation of Feng Zhengming’s skills.

Similarly, if the business is good, the daily revenue will be high, and Duan Sufen, Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang will also earn a lot of money, so they are naturally full of motivation.

In particular, Shen Rongsen also thought that when Feng Zhengming wanted to open a branch in the future, or let someone join him, he could invest in the franchise and open a branch of his own.

Shen Rongsen felt that by then, if he could learn some skills from Feng Zhengming and do some stir-fry in the store, the business would definitely be good.

Therefore, Shen Rongsen is very motivated every day and studies seriously with Feng Zhengming.

Chen Anbang had seen Feng Zhengming display his skills at a cooking exchange, and he was full of admiration for Feng Zhengming.

In fact, he once wanted to become Feng Zhengming's disciple.

However, Feng Zhengming rejected all those who came to seek apprenticeships.

Chen Anbang did not dare to say the words about his apprenticeship.

He was worried that when he said he wanted to become a disciple, Feng Zhengming not only refused, but also that he might no longer continue to teach him in the kitchen.

Although he didn't mention the matter of apprenticeship, Chen Anbang almost regarded Feng Zhengming as his master.

He would come to the shop very early every day, take the initiative to do some work, and practice knife skills according to Feng Zhengming's requirements. Even when he returned to his brother's house at night, he would take some time to practice what he learned every day.

Chen Anbang's various efforts were naturally noticed by Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming didn't ask to accept him as his disciple, but he taught him some things and would give Chen Anbang some pointers every day.

Seeing Chen Anbang's progress, Feng Zhengming would encourage him.

"Very good. I have made great progress recently. You must remember that details determine success or failure. Most chefs can probably make many dishes after just one look at them, but the taste will be different when cooked by different chefs. The reason lies in some details. It can be said that what old masters pay most attention to is details.”

Chen Anbang and Shen Rongsen would take note of Feng Zhengming's words carefully.

Under Feng Zhengming's supervision and guidance, Chen Anbang and Shen Rongsen continued to make progress at the same time.

Sometimes, Feng Zhengming also wants to teach Duan Sufen something.

It's just that Duan Sufen doesn't seem to want to learn. She just cleans carefully every day. After cleaning at night, she always asks Feng Zhengming to check it again. When Feng Zhengming says it's okay, she takes her bag and leaves.

Sometimes when he was busy late at night, Feng Zhengming suggested finding someone to take Duan Sufen home.

Almost all of them were rejected directly by Duan Sufen.

"It's okay, boss. My home is not far. I can go back alone."

"Aunt Duan, it's really late now. It's really not safe for you to go home alone as a woman. How about you wait for a while and I can pack up and send you on your way?"

Duan Sufen's attitude was more resolute: "It's really not necessary, I can go back alone."

Seeing Duan Sufen's resolute attitude, Feng Zhengming had no choice but to give up.

After more than two months of getting along.

Feng Zhengming gets along very well with Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang, and they joke with each other from time to time.

Feng Zhengming is the boss of Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang, and most of the time they both regard him as their teacher.

But Duan Sufen always seemed a little out of place.

It's not that Duan Sufen doesn't work well in the shop.

Duan Sufen is really hardworking at work. Whether it's the dishes used by the guests or the hygiene in the shop, she can clean almost everything by herself.

Sometimes I even feel that Duan Sufen can do more work than two people by herself.

It's just that Duan Sufen doesn't get close to everyone.

Whether it's with Feng Zhengming and his grandfather, or with Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang.

Even Zhang Hongwei and Feng Shengnan who were in the shop during the summer vacation.

Duan Sufen is always polite to everyone, but she never gets too involved in everyone's topics, and she basically doesn't mention anything about her family.

Do both Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang find it strange that Duan Sufen behaves like this?

Feng Zhengming and his grandfather understood the reason.

Because Feng Zhengming asked Liu Yongfeng for help, he had investigated the situation at Duan Sufen's family.

Then he and his grandfather found out that Duan Sufen was the mother of Yue Rui at the train station.

However, after that incident at the train station, Yue Rui and his group of friends actually left Quancheng.

Feng Zhengming also went to Liu Daxing to find out.

Liu Daxing also confirmed that Yue Rui did leave Quancheng with others.

Through Liu Daxing, Feng Zhengming learned that Yue Rui went to the south and said he was going to make a lot of money.

As for Duan Sufen going to work in Feng's restaurant, it was actually Liu Daxing's idea behind her back.

After Liu Daxing confessed everything to Feng Zhengming, he also hoped that Feng Zhengming could help Duan Sufen and not expose Duan Sufen's identity and treat Duan Sufen as an ordinary working woman.

Liu Daxing also assured Feng Zhengming that Duan Sufen would not do anything detrimental.

After understanding Duan Sufen's specific situation, Feng Zhengming discussed it with his grandfather, and his grandfather felt that he should treat Duan Sufen as an ordinary working woman as Liu Daxing said.

Therefore, Duan Sufen only works at the restaurant and hardly interacts with others in private.

Feng Zhengming and his grandfather saw it in their eyes and did not break the tacit understanding between everyone.

That night, a middle-aged man was sitting in the shop eating slowly. It was already half past nine, but the man still had no intention of leaving. Feng Zhengming glanced at the time and said to Duan Sufen: "Auntie, please go back first. It's already very late. If it's any later, it might not be safe for you to go back."

Duan Sufen looked at the guest who had not left. She said calmly: "I'll wait a little longer. When the last guest leaves, I'll go back after cleaning up."

Feng Zhengming persuaded: "It doesn't matter. Lao Shen and Anbang are still here. The three of us can also clean. Sister, your home is relatively far away and you don't want us to send you off. It's better to go back first. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way."

Feng Zonggu also said: "Yes, Xiao Duan, you go back first, Zhengming and the others can do it."

Under the persuasion of Feng Zhengming and his grandfather, Duan Sufen had no choice but to agree to go back first.

After Duan Sufen left, the middle-aged man at the end of the shop was still eating and drinking slowly. He was really not in a hurry. He even looked like he wanted to eat and drink all night.

I saw that the time was getting closer to ten o'clock.

Feng Zhengming still couldn't help but walked towards the other party.

"I'm sorry, sir, it's almost ten o'clock. We usually close at nine o'clock, but today we have made an exception for you until ten o'clock. I see that you haven't finished eating yet, so I can pack it for you, okay?"

After listening to Feng Zhengming, the other party raised his head drunkenly and glanced at him contemptuously.

"Isn't this a place for you to eat and drink? Why can't I sit here before I finish eating?"

Facing the other party who obviously drank too much, some wanted to use the topic as an excuse.

Feng Zhengming did not get angry, but said calmly: "Our Feng Family Restaurant is indeed a place for eating and drinking, but every restaurant has a break. We usually start cleaning up at nine o'clock. Today Because of you, we made an exception and waited until almost ten o'clock, I hope you can understand us."

After hearing this, the other party stood up and said arrogantly: "What's going on? I haven't finished the food and I haven't finished the wine. Why do you let me go? Are you afraid that I won't pay you?"

Feng Zhengming stood still, showing no fear at all in the face of the brutal scene before him.

"I don't have to charge you for your dish and bottle of wine today, but it's really late. We really need to clean up and rest. If you want to eat and drink, you can come back tomorrow."

Feng Zhengming's words stunned the other party.

It seemed that Feng Zhengming was not angry, but actually said that he didn't need any money, but just wanted to leave now.

The middle-aged man looked at Feng Zhengming for a while, then sat down again.

"I, I drank too much, I can't leave."

Feng Zhengming said: "Where does your family live? We can notify your family to pick you up."

The middle-aged man said: "I don't want my family to pick me up. If you want me to leave, you can, but I have a condition. If you agree, I will leave immediately."

Feng Zhengming said calmly: "Okay, please tell me what conditions you have."

The middle-aged man asked first: "Did you agree?"

Feng Zhengming responded: "Please tell me what the conditions are first. I must be able to fulfill them before I can agree. And if it is something illegal, I cannot agree to you."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's very simple. You take me home and I'll leave right away."

Feng Zhengming was a little confused when he heard this.

Is this person deliberately looking for trouble?

Also, if you cooperate in a restaurant, do you want the restaurant owner to send it home?

Feng Zhengming looked at the other party carefully with a suspicious look on his face and said: "Sir, if you say so, I'm afraid I can't do it. I don't know you and I don't know where your home is. I'm on my way to see you off, just in case something unexpected happens." What? How do I know you are not a bad person? Or do you deliberately want to kidnap someone? "

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up angrily after hearing this.

"What are you talking nonsense about? How could I tie up your ticket? Tell you, I'm not short of money."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a hundred yuan and slapped it directly on the table.

"This money, the money for tonight's food and wine, and the money for you to send me home."

Seeing the man pestering him and insisting that Feng Zhengming take him home, Feng Zonggu couldn't help but walked out.

"Sir, my grandson is still young and may not handle many things well. If what he said offends you, I apologize to you on his behalf. We really need to take a rest. I'm afraid my grandson won't be able to send you home. Come, we can call a taxi for you and ask the taxi to take you home. It is really inconvenient for my grandson to take you home."

The middle-aged man who had been pestering Feng Zhengming immediately sobered up when he saw Feng Zonggu coming forward.

"Old man, I'm so sorry. It's me, Meng Lang, today."

When Feng Zongguo saw that the other party was so polite, he also said politely: "It doesn't matter, everyone is in a bad mood. When you drink to relieve your boredom, if you don't drink well, you can come back tomorrow, and I, the old man, will have a couple of drinks with you."

The middle-aged man said quickly: "I don't dare. Master, I came here today because I actually wanted to see what the person who fell in love with my niece is like. I didn't mean to offend you, master. I'm really sorry."

When Feng Zhengming and his grandfather heard what the middle-aged man said, they looked at each other, and then looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

The man smiled and said, "Luo Qing should have told you that I am her second uncle."

Feng Zhengming quickly said politely: "Second uncle, hello second uncle, I didn't even know it was you. Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to have dinner?"

Luo Qing's second uncle Lu Zhongqi said with a smile: "Hahaha, Luo Qing didn't even know I came here today. I just came here specifically to see what kind of young man you are, how you can make Luo Qing like you so much, and also specifically for You go back to school and say you want to work hard to get a bachelor's degree."

Feng Zong said with a smile: "Luo Qing is a good child. He is motivated and willing to learn. It is a good thing."

Lu Zhongqi nodded: "Grandpa, you are right, but Luo Qing's change should have been influenced by your grandson, because I told her aunt before that I hope she can continue to study, at least to graduate from a bachelor's degree. , but she refused at the time and had to go to work.

No, I found a connection with my old comrade and arranged for her to work as a conductor on the railway. "

Feng Zhengming said: "I heard Luo Qing tell me this. She told me that she was the closest to her second uncle since she was a child, and her second uncle and second aunt were very kind to her."

Lu Zhongqi explained: "Her aunt and I have been married for more than ten years, and we have never had children. As for Luo Qing, because of the patriarchal mentality in the family, she has never been taken seriously. But in fact, Luo Qing is very smart. She is also a very self-reliant child, and her aunt and I regard her as our daughter."

After explaining this paragraph, Lu Zhongqi said seriously to Feng Zhengming: "Qingqing's parents may not pay enough attention to her, but she is the apple of my eye and her aunt's, and you can't bully her."

Feng Zhengming also promised seriously: "Second uncle, don't worry, I will treat Luo Qing wholeheartedly."

Lu Zhongqi said: "I believe in you. You can influence Qingqing and make her willing to study. This shows that the two of you are very suitable. I don't ask you to bring Qingqing any great wealth. I just hope that you can really love her and don't Let her be bullied again.”

Feng Zhengming nodded: "I will try my best to do it."

Lu Zhongqi said with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it for tonight. I won't disturb you for cleaning and delay your rest. I'm really sorry. I'll leave first. You can make arrangements the day after tomorrow. We will close the business early in the evening and go to the second uncle's house with Qingqing. sit."

Before Feng Zhengming could speak, Grandpa agreed for him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely let him and Luo Qing come to visit you the day after tomorrow."

Lu Zhongqi did not let Feng Zhengming deliver it, but asked Feng Zhengming to pack the remaining dishes. He took the unfinished dishes and the unfinished wine and went out alone on his bicycle to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Zhongqi also reminded Feng Zhengming: "Don't forget, it's the night after tomorrow."

Feng Zhengming nodded solemnly and agreed: "I will not forget it."
