From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 223 Grandpa arranged the first move

Some shop owners next to Feng Jiagan Restaurant saw that city management personnel were helping Feng Zhengming and others set up stalls.

This really makes everyone feel incredible. They don’t understand what this means?

Next door to the Feng Family Restaurant, they rented a shop that was separated by half, and the eldest lady who sold clothing couldn't help but ask questions.

"They occupy the road outside and you don't care. Why do you help them set up a stall?"

When this issue was raised, city management people stood up and gave an explanation.

"It's like this. Now we are encouraging open business. Fengjiagang Restaurant has become the representative of Quancheng's braised meat during this period of time, and has become well known by many locals and outsiders. Therefore, Quancheng wants to support such a local place." Unique business.

However, some people have reported that the Feng Family Restaurant puts tables and chairs on the road at night, which is indeed unsafe.

So we came here to help them plan the location of the tables and chairs, which should be placed on the sidewalk.

It cannot be placed on the road under the sidewalk. "

At this point, the city manager who explained pointed to a path in front of the store and continued: "We asked them to place tables and chairs against the outside edge, so that the path in front of everyone's store is left open and it is convenient for everyone. Coming in and out at night and walking.”

After such an explanation, other shops on this road felt a little confused.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of city management came and helped the Feng Family Restaurant plan how to place tables and chairs outside the door.

Everyone in Feng Zhengming and Feng Jiagan's restaurant also felt a little strange?

You know, when city management people show up, they usually evict some businesses occupying the road, and even confiscate the things operating on the road and impose fines.

Now that they have arrived, they actually help the Feng family restaurant to arrange the tables and chairs at the door.

This approach made Feng Zhengming and the others feel good.

It is regarded as a place for the planning office. In the future, it will be placed according to the planned location, so it will not look very messy.

When Feng Zhengming was at the train station, every food stall had a planned place like this.

But this situation seems a bit incredible no matter how you look at it?

Until the tables and chairs were arranged outside the door, Feng Zhengming and the third senior brother led everyone to place the tables and chairs.

The city manager returned to the shop again and warned Feng Zhengming that they must strictly abide by the planned location and would never allow it to be placed on the road again.

"You must be careful not to let customers put tables and chairs on the road at night. This will affect traffic and be very unsafe. You must make people pay more attention to this."

Feng Zhengming agreed: "Okay, okay, we will send someone to watch it at night."

Then, Feng Zhengming asked cautiously: "Can I ask, are the people who came here specially to plan for us?"

The other party also understood what Feng Zhengming wanted to ask?

So the person leading the team opened his mouth to explain.

"Boss Feng, don't be nervous. Both the city and the district are very supportive of you. They all know that the existence of Fengjia Gan Restaurant has promoted this business atmosphere, and the meat from Fengjia Gan Restaurant is also ours in Quancheng." It’s a signboard, so we want to support it.”

After a pause at this point, the other party said to Feng Zhengming seriously: "Of course, Boss Feng must do a good job in business. The reputation of Feng's restaurant must be guaranteed."

After listening to the other party's explanations, Feng Zhengming finally had a general understanding.

In short, Fengjia Gan Restaurant’s reputation is indeed quite good now.

In particular, Feng Jia Gan Restaurant’s pork belly has truly become famous.

Therefore, the city of Quancheng City and the district where Fengjiagang Restaurant is located all support Fengjiagang Restaurant and hope that Fengjiagang Restaurant can continue to work well and make the reputation of Baozi Pork even greater.

Feng Zhengming said seriously: "Please go back and tell us that our Fengjiagang Restaurant will definitely improve the quality of our pork belly, so that more people who come to Quancheng can taste the most authentic pork belly. Get to know and like our Quancheng and our Shandong cuisine through Baozirou.”

The other party was very satisfied with this answer, and several city management personnel quickly said goodbye and left.

After they left, everyone in the Feng Family Restaurant breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Zhengming looked at his grandfather. Before anyone else could speak, he walked up to his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, this matter..."

Before Feng Zhengming could finish his question, Grandpa Feng nodded: "I asked Uncle San to find some connections in advance, because I saw that the placement of tables and chairs at night did occupy a quarter of the road, which was very unsafe. And I’m also envied by some other merchants on this road, so I asked your third uncle to help you sort it out in advance.”

After hearing what the old man said, everyone in the shop was a little surprised that the old man had planned for a rainy day.

During this period, Feng Zonggu’s presence in the shop was actually very weak.

But when the business is open at night, the old man will help take care of Wei Xiuling's daughter.

Most of the time, the old man was sitting at the checkout counter or going out for a walk.

Everyone in the shop sometimes ignores the existence of the old man.

But no one expected that the old man had been paying attention to the operation of the shop, and had patched some problems that the shop might encounter in advance to prevent anything from affecting the operation of the shop.

Feng Zongguo saw the admiration on everyone's faces, he smiled and said: "Don't look at me like this, I didn't use any illegal means, I just publicized the reputation of the Feng family as a restaurant, so that both the district and the city would Take it seriously and understand that Feng Jia Gan Restaurant’s pork is very famous now, so we need to give more support.”

After listening to his grandfather's words, Feng Zhengming was really moved when he saw his grandfather.

During this time, I was busy working in restaurants and food stalls, as well as mentoring new and old apprentices.

Many times, even when Feng Zhengming returns home at night, he doesn't communicate much with his grandfather.

But he didn't expect that his grandfather had been silently helping him.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Feng Zonggu grabbed Feng Zhengming who was about to bow to him.

"Why are you so polite to grandpa, brat?"

Feng Zhengming looked at his grandfather, and his heart was really filled with gratitude to him.

Feng Zong chuckled and said, "Do your business well, and don't forget the provincial young chefs' cooking exchange competition at the end of the year. Many people are looking forward to your performance."

Hearing what his grandfather said, Feng Zhengming was a little surprised: "Grandpa, do you always remember it?"

Grandpa laughed: "Hahaha, of course I will remember it, many people will remember it, so you must behave well."

Third senior brother Yang Bin said, "Yes, everyone is looking forward to your performance."

Xia Hui, Chen Anbang and Sun Hai were even more looking forward to seeing it with Feng Zhengming.

Shen Rongsen said: "If the boss performs well and can enter the finals, he will be truly famous throughout the province."

Feng Zonggu said: "Don't put so much pressure on me. As long as I can get into the top ten, I will already be the best among young chefs in the province."

Speaking of this, Feng Zonggu looked at Feng Zhengming and said, "But you also have to put some pressure on yourself, at least aim to become the top three in this exchange competition."

Xia Hui couldn't help but said: "Wow, grandpa puts more pressure on me."

These words made everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "It's not big. Grandpa has said that he will enter the top three, so I will definitely be able to enter." Feng Zongguo revealed a little bit to Feng Zhengming.

"If you really succeed in becoming the top three in this exchange competition, grandpa will give you a big gift."

Feng Zhengming looked at his grandfather and wanted to ask what it was?

But Grandpa said first: "Don't ask now, be prepared."

Seeing that his grandfather refused to ask, Feng Zhengming had no choice but to agree: "Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely prepare well."

The matter of placing tables and chairs at the door was settled. Feng Zhengming was worried that the shop would be too busy at night, so he simply left Xia Hui here tonight.

Xia Hui was naturally a little unhappy when she heard that she was going to be left behind.

Feng Zhengming saw that Xia Hui was not happy and said seriously: "Xiao Xia asked you to stay because you and Sun Hai are both good at cooking now. This way, if anything happens at night, my third senior brother can handle it and you can continue." Cooking on the stove, so if you stay, your responsibilities are even greater, and I hope you can do a good job."

Xia Hui also understands that the restaurant will indeed be busier now.

Especially since there are tables and chairs set up outside the door, you can’t just put the tables and chairs and no one is there to greet the guests, right?

So Xia Hui quickly put away her displeasure and said seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, I will stay and work hard."

Third senior brother Yang Bin said: "I think, let's just stop going to the food stalls in the future. Isn't the restaurant business very good now?"

Feng Zhengming shook his head: "It's not yet time, the food stalls at the train station will continue. On the one hand, we can make more money by working together, and there is also the food stall at the train station, but our Feng family restaurant is the best." The publicity point is to let every outsider who comes to Quancheng see the sign of our Feng Family Restaurant immediately."

Grandpa also agreed: "The train station is the best place to promote, and the food stalls should continue to work first."

In Grandpa's view, Feng Zhengming still needs to prove himself again in the young chef's cooking exchange competition at the end of the year.

Only by entering the top ten in the competition at the end of the year can you even enter the top three.

By then, Feng Zhengming's reputation will not only be famous in Quancheng, but also throughout the province.

There is no need to use food stalls at train stations to promote yourself.

After explaining to the third senior brother and others, Feng Zhengming led Chen Anbang to the train station.

On the way, Chen Anbang suddenly said to Feng Zhengming without any end: "Thank you, Master Feng."

I heard Chen Anbang say thank you to himself without any end.

Feng Zhengming asked strangely: "Why are you thanking me?"

Chen Anbang said: "Thank you, Master Feng, for being willing to take me. I have been thinking these past few days that I am really useless. Even though I have been in the shop for so long, I still haven't learned the craft well and I can't help you much."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Needless to say, haven't you helped with a lot of work?

For example, you shout loudly to greet customers at the train station, help sell meat, and you also help wash dishes. These are all very important things.

And what you are doing is only temporary. Through your efforts, I believe you will stand in front of the stove and cook for customers like me. "

Chen Anbang was encouraged and his heart was really filled with enthusiasm.

Feng Zhengming didn't wait for him to speak and said first: "You don't have to say anything like 'I will definitely work hard' to me. There are some words that you don't need to always keep on your lips. Remember them in your heart and practice them with your actual actions." Okay, that’s fine.”

Chen Anbang did have such a sentence on his lips, but Feng Zhengming swallowed it back.

Feng Zhengming reached out and touched his heart: "Remember, do it with your heart. I believe you can do it, and you must also believe in yourself."

Chen Anbang didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

The two arrived at the train station.

I came late today because of some delay.

However, the space where they set up the food stall shed is still vacant every day.

These food stall owners are pretty well-behaved.

Because everyone knew that no one could compare to Feng Zhengming in terms of cooking skills, so naturally no one dared to take his place.

Chen Anbang took the initiative to help set up the shed, and then went directly to the exit of the train station to pick up people.

It didn't take long for Chen Anbang, who was already experienced, to come back with some tourists.

Feng Zhengming and Chen Anbang were busy at the food stall at the train station.

Fengjiagan Restaurant also received waves of customers as night fell.

The tables and chairs outside the door have been placed in advance today.

This makes some old customers feel a little strange?

After asking around a bit, I found out that it was the city management people who came over to plan the arrangement.

This has become an interesting thing for many old customers to sit down and chat.

"It seems that Fengjiagang Restaurant is really famous. Not only was it not evicted, confiscated or fined for putting tables and chairs at the door, it actually helped them plan how to place them."

"Originally, how famous is Feng's Family Restaurant now? Everyone knows that when you come to Quancheng to eat meat, you must come to Feng's Family Restaurant."

"The key is that the Feng family's restaurant is doing very well, but now it seems that the restaurant is indeed too small."

"It should be expanded a bit. How about buying all the shops next to it and opening them up?"

"In the past, it would have been easier to buy here, but now I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"why?"

"Isn't Feng's Restaurant doing so well here? Look at the people who come here at night. With so many people, the landlord of the shop here is definitely not going to sell it."

"Isn't that simple? The Feng Family Restaurant can change its location. Wherever it moves, we will eat there."

"Hahaha, that's right, let's look for this sign."

Feng Zongguo was helping to greet customers outside and heard some customers talking.

He walked forward with a smile and said: "Don't worry, everyone, our Fengjiagan Restaurant may open a branch in the future, but this old restaurant here will definitely not change."

The old man said this, which made all the old customers feel very happy.

"If the old store doesn't leave here, it will definitely be good."

"Yes, so you can come over and eat when you get back from get off work in the evening."

"That's right, there's no need to look for it again."

As the number of customers at Feng's Restaurant increased, other business owners on the road saw that almost all the rows of tables on the sidewalk in front of Feng's Restaurant were full.

Other business owners could only be convinced by the Feng Family Restaurant business.
