From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 205 The Chaoxingxing Opening of the Railway Station

Third senior brother Yang Bin returned home and discussed it with his family for several days.

In the end, Yang Bin's wife Li Lijuan saw that her husband wanted to return to Quancheng.

So Li Lijuan came forward and helped Yang Bin convince the parents of both families.

Yang Bin himself never thought that his wife, a country woman, would understand him so well and even go so far as to persuade his parents behind his back.

Even Yang Bin's father told him that if it weren't for Li Lijuan's persuasion, he would definitely not agree to Yang Bin's return to Quancheng.

Yang Bin kept his wife's kindness in mind and promised to work hard when he returned to Quancheng, strive to make money as soon as possible, and take over both parents to enjoy the happiness.

In order to support her husband, Li Lijuan decided to let her husband return to Quancheng alone first.

"The child's father, you go back to Quancheng first. Junior Brother needs manpower there. You go back to Quancheng first to help Junior Brother open the new store. When your business is stable and after the New Year, you will make arrangements there. Come back and pick me and my child up, so I can take my child to school at home and prevent him from falling behind in his homework."

What his wife said made Yang Bin almost cry.

Yang Bin held his wife's hand tightly: "It is my greatest blessing that I, Yang Bin, can marry you in this life. Don't worry, I will go back to Quancheng to settle down, and I will come back to pick you and Xiaowei up."

Li Lijuan looked at her husband and said with a smile on her face: "It's better to wait until the New Year. Xiaowei has already started school. Let him go to Quancheng now. Even if he can find a school willing to accept him, traveling back and forth will still affect his studies. If he goes They may not be able to keep up with the studies of children in other cities."

Li Lijuan's own education level is not high, she just graduated from junior high school.

But she has loved reading books since she was a child.

Therefore, she is very clear about the importance of children's education, and she also knows the benefits of leaving the country and letting her children go to the city as early as possible.

Li Lijuan also used the idea of ​​​​"education of children and consideration for their future" to persuade both parents.

Yang Bin was persuaded by his wife, and he knew in his heart that although he had worked in Yanxi Tower in Quancheng and his wife had not been to the city very much, some of his wife's ideas were very reasonable.

After discussing with his family, Yang Bin called Feng Zhengming from the town phone number and told him that he was going back to Quancheng.

Feng Zhengming was naturally very happy and said on the phone: "Third brother, I'm waiting for you to come back."

Yang Bin was also a little excited on the phone: "When I get back, our brothers and sisters will do something great in Quancheng."

The two brothers didn't say much on the phone, and agreed to talk in detail after Yang Bin returned to Quancheng.

After confirming that the third senior brother was going back to Quancheng to help him, Feng Zhengming was in a good mood and immediately started looking for a suitable store.

This time, Feng Zhengming planned to rent a slightly larger shop.

At that time, an overall renovation will be carried out, and Feng Zhengming has already thought about the style of the interior decoration.

Be a little more ahead of the curve and decorate it in the style of a future Chinese fast food restaurant.

Feng Zhengming has an ambition in his heart.

At this time, although there are some Chinese fast food, they have not yet formed a scale, and the future Chinese fast food model and style have not been determined.

Then why not take the first step and promote your own brand, and also determine the rules of a Chinese fast food restaurant.

Feng Zhengming's idea is that his Chinese fast food restaurant should insist on fresh cooking.

And after it reaches a large scale in the future, it can cooperate with the vocational school where the master works to build an internship base for Chinese food chefs, so that the intern chefs from the vocational school can practice in the back kitchen of their own chain of fast food restaurants.

Of course, such a design requires very strict requirements for quality control.

So this is why Feng Zhengming wanted to find the third senior brother.

There is absolutely no doubt about the craftsmanship of the brothers.

The third senior brother came to Quancheng to join. Feng Zhengming felt that he and the third senior brother could recruit apprentices, run two stores, and guide the apprentices at the same time.

It just so happened that the master was re-employed by the vocational school, and the master was asked to look for apprentices from the vocational school who were down-to-earth and willing to learn and work.

Start with the apprentice's salary, and if you do a good job, then give the official chef's salary.

Feng Zhengming is not afraid of apprentices learning something and changing jobs.

After all, he and his third senior brother were still in charge.

And I also have a few core products on hand, including handfuls of pork, five-spice boneless pork trotters and Sixi meatballs.

It first operates Chinese fast food and dry rice shop chain stores.

On the one hand, Feng Zhengming wanted to build a reputation for the brand first.

More importantly, we use the process of operating a dry rice shop chain store to select and accumulate a team of people who are willing to learn, work hard and are trustworthy.

After that, whether I open a serious restaurant by myself first.

It is better to buy back the Yanxi Tower sign and find a new place to reopen Yanxi Tower.

There will be enough manpower available so that we won’t have to piece together a team at short notice.

Feng Zhengming knows very well how hard it will be to find a down-to-earth chef who can focus wholeheartedly on cooking in the future.

Instead of looking for suitable people with high salaries when you have the ability to run a large restaurant and reopen Yanxi Restaurant in the future, it is better to make arrangements in advance and patiently train a group of people yourself.

Feng Zhengming definitely can't do these things alone, he still needs the help of his master and senior brothers.

Therefore, a very important part of Feng Zhengming's next plan is that his third senior brother Yang Bin is willing to help him.

Originally, Feng Zhengming had already thought that if the third senior brother could not come back, he might need to fool the senior brother.

Fortunately, things went smoothly and the third senior brother's family took care of the matter.

The third senior brother himself is also willing to return to Quancheng to develop.

While Feng Zhengming was looking for a suitable location to open a new store, he was also helping his third brother find a house.

The third senior brother and his family are coming back this time, and Feng Zhengming feels that he must find a suitable house for the third senior brother and his family.

I couldn't wait for the third senior brother to drag his family back to Quancheng, but in the end he didn't even have a place to stay.

When looking for a house, Feng Zhengming used his afternoon time to ride a bicycle alone in the streets and alleys of Quancheng.

Pay attention to some changes in every important street in Quancheng.

When opening a new store this time, Feng Zhengming's idea was to not open it. Since it was going to be opened, it must be high-profile. The store must be opened in the most conspicuous place in Quancheng. After opening, it must become a benchmark in Quancheng.

A man was riding a bicycle, leisurely wandering around the streets of Quancheng.

Only then did Feng Zhengming realize that Quancheng was really changing with each passing day.

Many old streets are undergoing demolition, and some new buildings are being built.

Some places that were once well-known to everyone in Quancheng are undergoing changes, and they may no longer be seen in a few years.

Feng Zhengming looked at everything in front of him and witnessed the development and changes of a city with his own eyes.

This and the future can only be seen in the city after changes.

We can only see the old streets from some old photos from the past.

They are two completely different feelings.

Today, Feng Zhengming unknowingly rode his bicycle to the old train station in Quancheng.

The renovation of the station square has almost been completed. All the floor tiles have been re-paved, and some greening and roads in and out of the square have also been renovated.

Although it has not reopened yet, looking at it from a distance, it still feels really different. Riding a bicycle passed by the station square, and then walked all the way to the street next to the square.

Crackling.

Suddenly a burst of firecrackers startled Feng Zhengming.

He came back to his senses and turned around to look.

It's a new store opening on the street next to the train station.

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but be curious.

The train station has not been restored to use, but a new store has opened next to it?

This kind of advanced thinking actually coincides with my own?

Feng Zhengming pushed his bicycle to the store where firecrackers were set off.

Then I saw that the newly opened store turned out to be a dry rice shop selling handfuls of meat.

"Chaoxingxinggan Restaurant?"

Feng Zhengming was a little surprised when he saw the sign.

He had originally thought about opening such a dry rice shop near the train station, but he didn't expect that someone had already opened it before him.

Chao Xingxing, the name Feng Zhengming is not unfamiliar at all.

Isn't this the name of Zhao Chaoxing's family restaurant?

After a while, Feng Zhengming saw Zhao Chaoxing walking out.

What surprised Feng Zhengming was that next to Zhao Chaoxing stood a couple selling box lunches at the train station, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing.

I saw this couple standing together with Zhao Chaoxing, announcing the opening of their new store, and inviting onlookers who were attracted by the sound of firecrackers in front of the door to come in and have a taste of their meat.

Zhao Chaoxing also announced in public: "We at Chaoxingxing not only make meatballs, but we also have stir-fries. You can order from us. We also offer rice bowls. If you are not used to rice, you can also order noodles and steamed buns." , we also have pancakes for everyone, welcome everyone to come and eat at our Chaoxingxing.”

Hearing Zhao Chaoxing shout this, Feng Zhengming was really shocked.

Some of the ideas I originally had in mind seemed to be preempted by others?

Look at Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing standing with Zhao Chaoxing.

Feng Zhengming suddenly understood that the cooperation between the two of them just happened to complement each other.

Originally, both of them lost to Feng Zhengming.

First, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing sold lunch boxes, but their business was obviously not as good as Feng Zhengming.

Later, Feng Zhengming started making meatballs, and his reputation was better than that of Zhao Chaoxing.

Now that the two of them are cooperating, it is equivalent to copying everything that Feng Zhengming has in the restaurant.

Feng Zhengming looked inside for a few times and saw that some of the decorations inside started to look like some Chinese fast food restaurants, which really surprised him.

Just when Feng Zhengming was looking at the Chaoxingxing dry restaurant next to the train station.

Suddenly I heard someone in the crowd asking.

"Is your dry rice shop the same as that of Master Xiao Feng's dry rice shop? Is this the new one of Master Xiao Feng's dry rice shop?"

"Yes, does the meat you make have the same taste as the Feng Family Rice Shop?"

"It's not the same one, is it? Didn't you hear them say that they only serve meat? Master Xiao Feng's Feng Family Restaurant also sells pig's trotters and Sixi meatballs, but they don't have them."

"That's right, we are not the same family. Don't be fooled."

Such questions and answers from the crowd made Feng Zhengming feel comforted.

Although others were the first to open this type of Chinese fast food restaurant.

But obviously, when most people in Quancheng today think of Feng Zhengming’s Feng Jia Gan Rice Shop when they think of Baozi Meat and Dry Rice Shop.

This is partly because he has been reported to newspapers and TV news and is already considered a well-known chef in Quancheng.

More importantly, at Feng Jia Gan Rice Shop, the three main signature items are the pork belly, five-spice boneless braised hooves, and Sixi Meatballs, and are truly widely recognized core products.

With the combination of fame and reputation, the reputation of Feng Family Restaurant is hard to shake in Quancheng for the time being.

Zhao Chaoxing, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing looked at each other.

Liu Qing stood up and said: "We are indeed not a branch of Feng Jia Gan Rice Shop. We are Chaoxingxing Gan Rice Shop. Our pork belly is an ancestral recipe passed down from my cousin-in-law's family. The taste is different from Feng Jia Gan Rice Shop." , but it’s definitely not worse than them, you can come in and give it a try.”

Then Liu Qing pointed to her husband and continued: "This is our chef. Our chef's skills are not bad, and we buy new dishes every day and make them fresh. We guarantee that everyone can eat them." It’s so hot.”

What Liu Qing said made some people in the crowd of onlookers curious to come in and take a look.

Zhao Chaoxing quickly took the opportunity to release the ultimate move he had prepared.

"Today is the first day of opening. Our Chaoxingxinggan Rice Shop is offering a big discount for the first three days of opening. We will give you three yuan of pork for one yuan and 20% off on all kinds of stir-fry dishes. Please come in and have a try. "

After hearing such a price, naturally the people watching at the door no longer hesitated and began to pour into the store.

After all the onlookers at the door went in, Zhao Chaoxing, Xu Yingzhu, and Liu Qing saw Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming and the other three looked at each other, with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Zhao, big brother and sister, how are you? I didn't expect that you are still relatives. Now you are cooperating? It seems that the new store has opened and it is doing well."

Faced with Feng Zhengming's proactive greeting, Zhao Chaoxing, Xu Yingzhu, and Liu Qing looked at each other in shock.

Then Zhao Chaoxing spoke first: "Master Xiao Feng, are you so leisurely today? Do you still have time to come and visit us?"

Feng Zhengming replied: "It's not that the business of the shop is a little too good now. I just thought that the shop is a bit small now and I want to find a bigger store."

Xu Yingzhu exclaimed when he heard this: "Are you also planning to open a branch?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Since you have opened a new store at the train station, my new store will definitely not open at the train station. I will open a new store elsewhere."

After saying this, Feng Zhengming still said with a smile on his face: "However, some of our two business ideas are somewhat coincident, and it is inevitable that people will compare them in the future. I hope that we will compete healthily in the future and strengthen our relationship with each other." Don’t hurt your harmony.”

Zhao Chaoxing also had a smile on his face: "Master Xiao Feng, you are worrying too much. We are still incomparable with you. You are now a famous young chef in Quan City, and we are just businessmen trying to make a living."

Although Zhao Chaoxing had a smile on his face and took the initiative to say that he was not his opponent.

Feng Zhengming still caught a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

Similarly, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing were obviously unwilling.

Feng Zhengming couldn't help but find it quite interesting, and decided to compete with the other party.

"Okay, I wish you all a prosperous business. I'll leave first. When I have time, I'll come over and try your food."

Zhao Chaoxing, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing stood in front of the door and watched Feng Zhengming leave on his bicycle.

Until Feng Zhengming's back could no longer be seen, Zhao Chaoxing said with some pride: "This time, we are ahead of him. The train station here will be reopened soon, and our good business will come."

After hearing this, Xu Yingzhu and Liu Qing suddenly had excited smiles on their faces.
