From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 221 Feng Zhengming’s pressure on apprentices

As Xia Hui and Sun Hai gradually integrated and became familiar with each other, Feng Zhengming and his third senior brother Yang Bin felt much more relaxed.

Sometimes Feng Zhengming would even let Xia Hui and Sun Hai take charge of the food stalls at night.

Whether it's Xia Hui or Sun Hai going to the food stalls.

Whenever Feng Zhengming asked them to take charge, the two of them always felt like they were taking a graduation exam.

Mainly because when Feng Zhengming helped them cut the pieces, his knife skills were really fast and good.

Whether slicing, shredding, dicing or mincing.

Feng Zhengming always cuts things very neatly.

And after Feng Zhengming cut everything, he would put it all neatly.

Often when customers at food stalls finish ordering, Feng Zhengming quickly starts cutting and matching.

All kinds of main ingredients, ingredients, and auxiliary materials will be quickly cut by him and placed neatly.

Xia Hui and Sun Hai were in vocational schools, and they also had to learn about matching.

But facing Feng Zhengming's match, the two of them felt that even the teachers in the school who specialized in teaching were not as good as Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming's matching will give people a very orderly state.

Moreover, each dish does not require much cooking as Feng Zhengming can prepare everything properly.

If this were a master chef, he would feel that with the cooperation of a partner like Feng Zhengming, he would dare to cook any dish.

But Xia Hui and Sun Hai are not masters after all.

They were really under a lot of pressure when faced with Feng Zhengming's orderly coordination.

There is always a situation. If the food is not fried well, it will be a shame for Feng Zhengming’s beautiful knife skills.

Fortunately, when Feng Zhengming asked the two of them to take charge of the dishes, he would not leave them alone and would make corrections in a timely manner to ensure that the dishes produced by the two of them were basically up to standard.

After a while, Xia Hui became less nervous.

But Xia Hui is still very serious every time she cooks, and she pays great attention to every detail of every dish.

As for Sun Hai, he is still quite nervous. Even when cooking every dish at the food stall, he would unconsciously glance at Feng Zhengming next to him.

Sun Hai's problem was discovered by Feng Zhengming and he talked to him specifically.

"You don't need to be so nervous at the food stall. Since you are asked to take charge of the food, it means that you have the ability, so you must show confidence and don't be timid just because I am next to you."

Sun Hai said honestly: "Uncle, if you stand next to me, I will be nervous. But if Uncle Yang is next to me, I won't. I don't know why?"

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he was a little dumbfounded: "Am I putting so much pressure on you?"

Sun Hai hesitated but nodded.

Feng Zhengming thought for a while and said, "Then just pretend that I'm not here, or next time I cut it, I won't stand by and you can do your thing, okay?"

Sun Hai hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, can you stop cutting it for me?"

Feng Zhengming laughed a little angrily: "You don't want me to cut it for you? Are you sure you can do it alone?"

Sun Hai originally wanted to say "it can be done", but when he thought about the food stalls sometimes having a full table at night, it was obvious that he couldn't do it alone without Feng Zhengming's help.

After thinking about it, Sun Hai could only say: "When there are a lot of people, it's better for you, uncle, to come. I can handle one or two tables."

Seeing Sun Hai like this, Feng Zhengming could only agree: "Okay, I'll let you practice for a while, and I won't let you cook at the food stall in the future."

When Sun Hai heard this, not only did he not feel regretful, he even felt relieved.

It was really Feng Zhengming who was so aura standing next to him.

Sun Hai felt that he really didn't dare to use Feng Zhengming to pay for himself, at least for the time being, he didn't have the confidence to use it.

Yang Bin also felt that Feng Zhengming was very bold when he let two apprentices cook at the food stall.

"Are you really bold? Aren't you afraid that if they don't learn well enough, your reputation at the food stall will be ruined?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and responded: "Third brother, didn't we all practice step by step without experience before? Their situation is different from that of Lao Shen and Anbang. After all, they have received professional training, so as long as It’s to give them some guidance and let them practice more, so that it will be easier for them to practice.”

Yang Bin thought about it and felt that Feng Zhengming was right.

Then after some thinking, Yang Bin also put forward an idea of ​​his own.

"I think otherwise, Sun Hai will be with me from now on. I quite like him. Maybe he can be my apprentice in the future."

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he understood that after spending time together, the third senior brother should have taken a liking to Sun Hai.

And Sun Hai also said that he would not feel nervous working next to Yang Bin.

Feng Zhengming felt that this might be a kind of fate between the two.

When recruiting disciples, you also need to pay attention to the right eye.

The master must be able to look up to the disciple, and the disciple must be able to keep up with the master.

Now since the third senior brother and Sun Hai are very compatible, Feng Zhengming is naturally an adult beauty.

"Okay, third brother, if you are willing to take Sun Hai with you, then Sun Hai doesn't have to go to the food stalls with me, just let him stay in the shop and follow you, third brother. When he makes third brother satisfied, third brother will take it away directly. only."

Yang Bin also smiled and nodded: "I think so too."

Feng Zhengming then added: "By the way, third brother, I think Xia Hui is pretty good too. She is more spiritual than Sun Hai and has a lively temperament. How about taking it in with me, third brother?"

Yang Bin immediately refused: "No, no, I'm married and have children. If I keep a female apprentice by my side until your sister-in-law comes over, wouldn't that create conflicts in our family?"

Feng Zhengming felt dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Third brother, I'm just taking on a disciple, are you okay with that?"

Yang Bin said seriously: "Of course, you are not married yet, you don't understand, don't you see that Xiaoxia and I keep our distance?"

Then Yang Bin seriously warned Feng Zhengming: "You should also pay attention, otherwise if you and Xiao Xia get too hot, Ronaldinho will definitely think too much about it, so don't take it seriously."

Feng Zhengming was stunned for a moment and said, "Luo Qing knows that she is the apprentice recommended by her master, and Luo Qing can get along well with her."

Yang Bin stared at Feng Zhengming for a while, confirming that Feng Zhengming really had no thoughts about Xia Hui.

He nodded and said, "As long as the relationship is clean, it will save you from causing trouble, which will not be good for your business."

Feng Zhengming also became serious: "Third brother, don't worry, we must be innocent."

After discussion, Sun Hai also agreed to follow Yang Bin.

In this way, Sun Hai will no longer go to the food stalls with Feng Zhengming at night.

Xia Hui immediately saw the clues from this arrangement.

She smiled and expressed her congratulations to Sun Hai: "Congratulations, brother Hai. This time we are here together. You are still ahead of me. You should be able to become a disciple soon."

Sun Hai felt a little embarrassed: "Not yet, Master Yang didn't want to accept me as his disciple."

When Yang Bin saw Xia Hui's point, he smiled and encouraged Sun Hai: "Don't worry, you behave well, maybe I will accept you as my apprentice after a while." all know.

As Feng Zhengming's third senior brother, Yang Bin's craftsmanship is naturally impeccable.

And after all, Yang Bin is a disciple recognized by Master Yan. If he can become a disciple of Yang Bin, he will definitely be able to learn some of Master Yan's skills.

Xia Hui and Sun Hai came here with such expectations in their hearts.

Now Sun Hai was asked by Yang Bin to follow him.

This is tantamount to preparing for accepting disciples.

Seeing that Sun Hai was almost one step away from becoming a disciple, Xia Hui was naturally happy for this classmate.

While happy for Sun Hai, Xia Hui put forward her own ideas to Feng Zhengming.

"Brother Hai is going to stay with Uncle Yang. Can I follow Uncle Yang to the food stalls every night?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and asked, "Do you like going to food stalls so much?"

Xia Hui nodded: "Yes, I think the food stall is very interesting. It's like being in a shop. We all cook in the kitchen and can't directly face all kinds of customers.

But food stalls are different. I can directly face all kinds of customers, understand their tastes, and directly see how surprised and happy they are when they eat the delicious dishes we cook. I feel particularly satisfied. "

Seeing Xia Hui being so obsessed, Feng Zhengming and Yang Bin exchanged glances.

Feng Zhengming agreed: "Okay, since you like the atmosphere of the food stall, then you will go to the food stall to help out at night."

After arranging Xia Hui and Sun Hai, Feng Zhengming looked at Shen Rongsen and Chen Anbang.

"Lao Shen and Anbang, why don't you continue to alternate?"

Chen Anbang said: "Master Feng, I am also willing to go to the food stall. I will work in the shop at noon and go to the food stall in the evening to follow you and Sister Xia. I can also watch and learn more."

Yang Bin heard the joke and asked, "What's wrong? You're in the shop with me, can't you watch more and learn more?"

Chen Anbang quickly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, my foundation is too poor and I'm afraid that it will hold you back, Master Yang."

Yang Bin saw Chen Anbang's nervous look and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I'm kidding you, it depends on your boss and what does Lao Shen mean?"

Shen Rongsen thought for a while and said: "Then I will stay in the shop and let the young people go to the food stalls."

In fact, Shen Rongsen really didn't want to be with Feng Zhengming.

He is much older than Feng Zhengming. When he goes to the food stalls with Feng Zhengming, many times he cannot get involved at all.

As a result, Shen Rongsen was often mistaken for the boss at the food stall.

Shen Rongsen looked embarrassed when asked several times.

So just taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Rongsen simply proposed not to go to the food stall.

And after Shen Rongsen proposed not to go to the food stall, he continued: "Boss, since I will no longer go to the food stall, you don't have to give me the extra subsidy from the food stall in the future."

Sun Hai also echoed: "Yes, I don't need to give you my share of the subsidy."

Yang Bin laughed and said, "You two are talking about this? We, Boss Feng, will definitely not be able to give you the subsidy for the food stalls."

Feng Zhengming smiled and nodded: "Okay, if you two don't go, the food stall subsidy will not be given to you."

After the discussion, Feng Zhengming took Chen Anbang and Xia Hui to the food stalls in the evening.

The third senior brother, Shen Rongsen and Sun Hai were fully responsible for working in the kitchen at night.

During this period of time, Feng Zonggu watched Feng Zhengming manage the shops and food stalls well little by little.

And the team of people under him is also growing.

Especially the arrival of Xia Hui and Sun Hai really made Feng Zhengming and Yang Bin feel a lot more relaxed.

Many customers who often come to Ganfanpu to eat said that they feel that Fengjia Ganfanpu’s stir-fried dishes are getting better and better.

The Feng Family Restaurant is becoming more and more famous, and its reputation has always been very good.

All this made Feng Zonggu feel very happy and face-saving.

Some old neighbors now give Feng Zonggu a thumbs up when they see him, and must praise Feng Zhengming a few words.

"Lao Feng, your eldest grandson is really a good boy, with good craftsmanship and good character. He runs the dry rice shop in a great way."

"Yes, that kid is kind to people. Several times when I went to buy something, he would get it for me first."

"Lao Feng, your family is really getting more and more prosperous."

"Isn't that right? It's really good to see you, Lao Feng, with your face glowing all day long."

"Lao Feng is very busy now, and every day should be very fulfilling."

Feng Zonggu's compliments to his neighbors were beautiful in his heart, but he still had to say a few words of humility: "Young man, as long as he can do things by himself, I don't expect him to be rich and powerful, and I can support myself with my crafts." It’s very gratifying.”

What makes Feng Zonggu the happiest is that the Fengjia Gan Restaurant has become a well-known brand in Quancheng.

The jingle "If you come to Quancheng to eat a handful of meat, if you want to eat a bunch of meat, go to the Feng Family Restaurant".

It was something Feng Zonggu didn't even dare to think about back then.

Feng Zonggu never thought that his family's meat would become the representative of Quancheng.

It is really bound to Quancheng.

Everyone who comes to Quancheng will hear about the meat and the Feng family restaurant.

Feng Zonggu was deeply proud to have a grandson like Feng Zhengming.

Feeling proud, Feng Zonggu went to his third son privately and asked him to help him do something for Feng Zhengming.

Feng Jiandong never expected that his father would find his company.

Inviting his father into his own company, Feng Jiandong made tea for his father and said, "Dad, if you need anything, call me. I will go home immediately to follow your instructions. Look at you, you even came to me specially." .”

Feng Zonggu looked at his third son's office, smiled and said, "I really have something to do with you. By the way, how about coming over to see how your company is doing?"

Feng Jiandong made tea for his father, placed it in front of his father and said respectfully: "Dad, you can give me something."

Feng Zonggu looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and then said directly: "It seems that you have some money now. I want your help to buy several shops on both sides of the Feng Family Restaurant."

Feng Jiandong was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is it Zhengming who wants to expand?"

Feng Zonggu shook his head: "I came to you myself. Zhengming doesn't know it yet. You should also know that Zhengming's business is very good now. Now the Feng family's restaurant is a little small. Zhengming and the others are also planning to open a new store. If we open it wider, I think everyone has already recognized the place where the Feng Family Restaurant is now. When we open a new store, there may not be that many people there.

So it is better to expand the current store first. I have seen it, take down the shops on both sides, and open it up. It should be able to entertain a lot more people. "

Having said this, Feng Zonggu took out a bankbook from his arms.

"You don't need to pay. I still have some money here, so I should be able to buy it."

Feng Jiandong saw his father take out his bankbook and said quickly: "Dad, what are you doing? Isn't it just those shops? Can you still pay? I will take care of it."
