From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 290 Decoration design (three updates and , please vote for me)

After Feng Zhengming's drink, a rumor soon began to spread in Quancheng.

Moreover, in the process of spreading, the rumors went through several interpretations and finally formed a logical closed-loop version.

The rumors are naturally related to the fact that the Feng Family Restaurant is about to expand its operations.

According to rumors, Feng Jia Gan Restaurant’s business has become better because of Feng Zhengming.

Therefore, Feng Zhengming wanted to expand the Feng Family Restaurant.

The dry rice shop should be turned into a serious restaurant that combines jerky rice and stir-fry.

Then because I didn’t want to move from the road where the old store was.

Feng Zhengming decided to buy all the shops next to Feng's dry rice shop, and then open up all the shops and transform them into a larger dry rice shop.

At first, it was rumored that Feng Zhengming rented the shop next to it.

Especially those rumors that Feng Zhengming directly bought the entire street shocked Feng Zhengming himself.

Of course, the most subversive aspect of Feng Zhengming's vision is that he plans to make the kitchen completely transparent.

So after much thought, he decided to carry out a bold decoration design.

This also makes things still a bit confusing.

I feel like everyone’s imagination is really powerful.

Some people say they heard it from a relative in their own family.

For the Chinese-style decoration inside, Feng Zhengming planned to find a carpenter to make a layer of wooden window lattice inside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows based on the decoration of the house in the past.

But where did Feng Zhengming get so much money to buy the shop?
Then someone quickly put a patch on the rumor.

So Feng Zhengming began to think about decorating his own dry rice shop?
He wanted to retain the Chinese feel of the square tables in the current dry rice shop.

He has successfully taken over all five stores.

In short, everyone said that they got the exact news.

He said to some customers who came to the shop to ask him: "If I could buy a street, why would I be a chef? I don't need to open a restaurant. I can just buy a big restaurant and then turn it into Yanxi House." Just start it again.”

So how many stores did Feng Zhengming buy?

Everyone was shocked by Feng Zhengming's design.

However, when people asked him how many stores he had bought, Feng Zhengming did not say clearly.

Later, the rumor turned out that the owner of the shop next to Feng Jiagan Restaurant confirmed that Feng Zhengming had bought all the shops next to it.

Then he said that he had bought eight restaurants and planned to expand them into a restaurant comparable to a large restaurant.

Let the renovated shop become a decoration style with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows used as walls.

In other words, he was not going to install a thick wall in front of the kitchen.

Then they built stone steps in front of the four shops, blocked the doors of the four shops, and sealed all the doors of the four shops with a single piece of glass.

There are four shops on both sides. First of all, the walls need to be smashed through.

Feng Zhengming's explanation was still recognized by most customers.

However, Feng Zhengming did not pay much attention to those confusing rumors.

The layout inside is all Chinese style, and four compartments are symmetrically separated on both sides.

Feng Zhengming won the first prize in the Provincial Young Chefs Cooking Exchange Competition. Both the city and the province gave him bonuses, and he used the bonuses to buy the store directly.

Speaking of the overall floor-to-ceiling window design, this is not so new.

Just waiting for the New Year to be over, the owners of the five stores will move their things away, and the next step is to smash the walls and decorate.

But when it comes to the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is also a layer of pure wood and classical Chinese-style window lattice. This is really a design that everyone has never seen before.

The first thing is to smash down the wall in front of the current door, and use the entire shop as the door of a dry rice shop later.

Later, the rumor turned out to be that Feng Zhengming directly bought the entire street.

It is also said that colleagues have relatives who work in the original unit of the store.

Instead, we want to create the kind of semi-open kitchen that is very popular in later generations.

There are many kinds of rumors in this regard, and all of them say they have noses and eyes.

It is said that Feng Zhengming bought two shops and planned to expand them to both sides.

Customers in the shop can see the cooking process of the chef in the kitchen from a distance.

So when Feng Zhengming had the overall idea, drew a part of his idea, and then explained it to everyone in the dry rice shop and his family.

Then everyone felt that the two rooms were too few, and they couldn't expand much to both sides.

Hearing all kinds of rumors made Feng Zhengming a little bit dumbfounded.

Some shopping malls and shops in Quancheng, including some restaurants, are also designed in this way.

Various Chinese-style decorations are also required inside the compartments, and each room must have a completely different decoration style.

This design can be said to be very subversive, and will almost never appear in this era.

However, although everyone has never seen it, after some explanations by Feng Zhengming.

And the general appearance he drew still makes everyone look forward to it.

The third uncle Feng Jiandong looked at the drawings and was very surprised and said: "Okay Zhengming, no wonder you can cook so beautifully. It turns out that you are not a chef, you are an artist. Your drawings are really stylish."

Feng Zhengming was a little embarrassed to be praised so much.

"Third uncle, I actually drew this with a ruler. I'm not very good at drawing by myself." Third brother Yang Bin took it and looked at it and said, "Who says it's not possible? Zhengming, your painting is really great. It turns out that you usually paint The beautiful disk is the result of my hard work in secret, right?"

Xia Hui then said: "Uncle, your painting is really good. Is this what our restaurant will look like in the future?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "It will be like the Feng family's restaurant in the future. In the future, all the walls of the shops on both sides will be smashed through. At that time, the shops on the two sides will be decorated into rooms, which can accommodate people who need to have private gatherings. The door It's still our current door. It will be enlarged when the time comes, and then the door will face the cashier.

My idea is that if you stand at the cashier and look in, you can see our kitchen. In this way, some people can directly see the cooking process in the kitchen and supervise our cooking. "

Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned because it was hard to imagine the transparent appearance of the kitchen.

Over the years, no matter whether it is in restaurants or restaurants, large or small, we have never seen the kitchen open to the public.

But Feng Zhengming was talking about it in high spirits and did not stop to let everyone digest it.

He continued: "The two shops next to our dry rice shop on both sides will be opened up and used as a hall. I have calculated the tables. If they are all square tables like ours, the number can be increased to thirty.

But I don’t want to do that. I think we can arrange all the square tables near the window, and add some large round tables in the middle, so that if there are a lot of people coming, they can also sit on the large round tables to eat. "

After listening to Feng Zhengming's complete set of plans, coupled with the drawings he drew, everyone can basically imagine what it will look like.

However, it is still somewhat difficult for everyone to understand the transparent kitchen.

As a family representative, the second uncle Zhang Zhigang, who came specially to participate in this discussion, smiled and asked: "Zhengming, you said that inside the cashier is your kitchen, and you want to show the kitchen to others. It seems that there are no restaurants or restaurants like this." do it?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and explained: "Second uncle, let me put it another way. If you go to eat at a food stall on the street, can you directly see the chef cooking at the food stall?
I think that way, you can directly see the chef cooking, which can better demonstrate the chef's strength, and allow those customers who come because of my reputation to clearly see that I am cooking for them in the kitchen. This is more honest, and I believe that many Customers will also like our Fengjiagan Restaurant even more because of our honesty. "

After Feng Zhengming explained it like this, everyone basically understood it immediately, and everyone could understand it.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that Feng Zhengming's design is indeed quite good.

Zhang Zhigang said: "Your idea is really good."

Second aunt Feng Suying said: "Your idea is very bold, but I feel it will indeed attract more people."

Third uncle Feng Jiandong suddenly asked: "By the way, Zhengming, do you still plan to call the Feng Family Restaurant a restaurant? You have already carried out such a good decoration, shouldn't you change the name by then?"

This time, before Feng Zhengming could say anything, Grandpa said, "Yes, we need to change the sign then. We can no longer call it Feng's Restaurant. We might as well hang up the sign with your registration number and call it 'Zheng Lu Xing'."

As soon as Grandpa opened his mouth, everyone naturally agreed. Everyone felt that after the renovation, the dry rice shop should be renamed.

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "Grandpa said to change, so I will change it, but I still want to hang the sign of Feng's Restaurant inside, to let everyone know that this is still Feng's Restaurant, and it is also for myself." It’s a kind of encouragement that reminds me not to forget that I will inherit the Feng family restaurant’s signature, and I must make good things and not destroy the signature.”

Hearing what Feng Zhengming said, grandpa smiled and said: "You kid, just say nice things. You don't have to do this. The Feng family's restaurant is already a thing of the past. From now on, you will be doing restaurants and restaurants."

Feng Zhengming said seriously: "No, grandpa, I told you that we would sell our meat to other provinces in Quancheng, so I will never leave the meat behind, and I will never give up." Dry rice shop.”

Seeing Feng Zhengming's serious face and hearing his words, everyone felt a little in awe.

Feng Zhengming continued: "In the future, I will build a restaurant, but I will also do a dry rice shop. My idea has never changed. I hope that dry rice shops and restaurants can build a chef circulation system."

This time, Feng Zhengming officially expressed his idea.

"If I open a restaurant in the future, the chefs in the back kitchen of the restaurant will have to cook in the dry rice shop first and get good reviews from the customers of the dry rice shop before they can be transferred to the restaurant's back kitchen."

Feng Zhengming expressed such an idea, which surprised everyone present.

However, despite being surprised, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that Feng Zhengming's design was very good.

A top-notch chef takes time to hone.

Usually in a restaurant, the opportunities to practice on the stove are limited.

Feng Zhengming's design just allows the apprentices to hone themselves in the cooking shop first, and then transfer to the back cook of the restaurant when their cooking skills are good.

In this way, if Feng Zhengming wants to open a branch, he will have enough manpower available.

A group of personnel trained by oneself will still be more practical and reliable than those recruited from outside.

Feng Jiandong praised: "Zhengming's idea is great. It is a way to prepare for a rainy day. He has thought in advance about how to control the core technology if he opens a branch in the future."

Hearing what Feng Jiandong said, some people in the shop were confused.

Wei Xiuling asked: "Core technology? What is that?"

Feng Jiandong explained with a smile: "The core technology, for example in a restaurant, must be the chef in the back kitchen. Zhengming's design can better control the chef's skills. Doesn't this mean mastering the core technology? If we open a branch in the future, Just send the chefs you trained.”

Third senior brother Yang Bin said with a smile: "Zhengming, you are not only going to do business, but you also want to turn it into a chef training base?"

Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "It's interesting. Our Shandong cuisine requires very high skills from chefs. If my current business model is feasible, then the biggest problem if I want to open a branch is the level of the branch chefs. Rather than When the time comes to find someone, we might as well train ourselves.”

Yang Bin looked at Xia Hui and Sun Hai and said, "Is this the experience you learned from Master asking Xia Hui and Sun Hai to come here?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, the arrival of Xia Hui and Sun Hai has not only enriched our shop with sufficient manpower, but more importantly, they have given me the confidence to expand the operation of the dry rice shop."

When Xia Hui and Sun Hai heard this, they looked at Feng Zhengming in surprise.

Feng Zhengming faced the two people's gazes and smiled and said: "You don't have to look at me like this. You may not think it yourself. If you two hadn't come, I wouldn't have the confidence to expand the dry rice shop like this. Maybe my small shop needs more expansion." After two or three years of business operation, some of my ideas will not be realized in a short period of time.”

Xia Hui and Sun Hai were very happy to receive such recognition.

Feng Zhengming's affirmation shows that their skills and abilities have been recognized.

This is what Xia Hui and Sun Hai hope to gain by giving up some restaurants and restaurants and coming to Feng Zhengming.

Xia Hui said: "It hasn't been long since I came here, and you really taught me a lot, uncle. I learned more than just skills from you."

Sun Hai also echoed: "Yes, I also learned a lot from the two uncles."

Yang Bin smiled and said: "Hahaha, you are right. If it weren't for us, Sun Hai, you would definitely not be among the top ten young chefs in the province."

Sun Hai nodded: "Thanks to the guidance of my two uncles."

Grandpa Feng said at this time: "This is a kind of healthy development. Zhengming, you have to keep it up. You all work together to run this restaurant well. Not only what will happen in the future, you must remember to stick to your craftsmanship." live."

Grandpa's words were a summary, and everyone nodded seriously in agreement.
