From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

This time on the trip to Yancheng, Feng Zhengming drove not only Luo Qing, but also Grandpa Feng and Grandpa Situ.

Because they were driving, they set off a few days in advance.

And there is the experience of Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing.

This driving trip was quite familiar.

Along the way, Feng Zhengming also took the two grandfathers to see the scenery of various places in Qi and Lu.

In order to take care of the health of the two grandfathers, Feng Zhengming did not drive too fast this time.

The two grandfathers were really happy along the way.

Especially when they arrived in Shouguang, Feng Zhengming found local people and took the two grandfathers to see the vegetable planting base.

I saw the selection and cultivation of various new vegetable varieties, as well as various new types of vegetable greenhouses.

It really made the two grandfathers feel special.

Feng Zhengming also signed a contract with Shouguang to supply a batch of vegetables to the branch in Yancheng.

Of course, in order to ensure the price of vegetables in the branch, Feng Zhengming does not purchase the best vegetables.

Instead, we want the vegetables that have been screened out during the selection process.

The quality of these vegetables is also good.

It’s just that the sizes are often uneven or a little crooked.

Such vegetables will be screened out during the screening process.

So the price is much cheaper.

Feng Zhengming felt that it was just right for use in his shop.

People in Shouguang felt a little embarrassed about this.

I feel that the food served to Feng Zhengming, the top scholar, is all shabby and crooked.

Feng Zhengming smiled and responded: "It doesn't matter, they just look weird, it's not a quality issue. The kitchen of the dry rice shop doesn't care about the vegetables having to look good."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Shouguang agreed and promised to ensure the supply to Yancheng.

Leaving Shouguang, we continued eastward along the coastline.

Along the way, the two grandfathers enjoyed different coastal scenery.

Grandpa Situ couldn't help but sigh: "The mountains, rivers and seas of our motherland are so beautiful."

Grandpa Feng heard this and asked with a smile, "Brother Situ, do you think it's right to come back and live here this time?"

Grandpa Situ nodded: "Yes, it's right to come back."

Luo Qing took over the conversation: "Grandpa Situ, if you were not abroad and had a certain reputation, Zhengming's discussion of cooperation with Mr. Luo in Gangcheng might not have been so smooth."

Grandpa Feng also agreed with this.

"It's true. That Boss Luo is quite cunning. He is obviously a relative of Xiao Luo's family, but before Brother Situ came forward, he just wouldn't give in and acted arrogantly."

Grandpa Situ smiled and shook his head: "They are all like that, they think Hong Kong is more developed than the mainland, and overseas is more developed than China.

So most of them come back with a little bit of arrogance, always thinking they are superior to others.”

At this point, a trace of contempt appeared on Grandpa Situ's face.

"In fact, they may not necessarily get much respect overseas. Many of them may even have a bad time overseas, so they choose to return to China."

Feng Zhengming said while driving: "In fact, people still don't know much about overseas. Even if we learn about it through some magazines, it is often very one-sided, and it may even be a story made up by others to deceive us.

Therefore, many people now naturally feel inferior to overseas countries, or even Hong Kong.

As information becomes more and more developed, more people will understand the real situations in overseas and Hong Kong cities.

There would no longer be the kind of admiration and inferiority that we have today.

One day, our motherland will become strong and will be the envy of others."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Grandpa Situ became very excited.

"Okay, Zhengming said it very well. We want to build a country like that."

Grandpa Feng agreed with a smile: "So, Brother Situ, we must take good care of our health and strive to live to see that day."

Luo Qing immediately said: "No problem, Grandpa, you will definitely live a long life."

Both grandfathers laughed immediately.

Grandpa Situ continued, "We still hope to see you two get married, and then see your children born, so that we can have four generations living under the same roof."

"Yes, Brother Situ is right. You two should hurry up and get married this year." Grandpa Feng also agreed.

Feng Zhengming smiled and agreed: "Okay, once we open five branches this year, we will get married."

Grandpa Situ objected immediately: "Zhengming is not right. It may seem that it is not difficult for you to open five branches now, but you cannot take those as prerequisites for your marriage to Xiao Luo."

Grandpa Feng took over the conversation: "Yes, if you want to get married, you should prepare well for the marriage and not set any preconditions."

Feng Zhengming could only agree: "Okay, let's get married in the second half of the year."

At this time Luo Qing couldn't help but pat Feng Zhengming.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You said we're going to get married in the second half of the year? You didn't even ask for my opinion?"

The two grandfathers were immediately amused again.

"Hahaha, that's right, you should definitely ask Xiao Luo for his opinion."

"That's right. It's not okay for you to unilaterally say you want to get married like this."

Feng Zhengming thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's discuss it in detail when we get to Yancheng. It's not easy for me to discuss it in detail now since we are driving."

The two grandfathers and Luo Qing all agreed and let Feng Zhengming concentrate on driving.

For the rest of the journey, Feng Zhengming talked less with the grandfathers and spent most of the time concentrating on driving.

Although this trip was a familiar one, Feng Zhengming drove slowly because there were two grandfathers in the car, and he also took the two grandfathers out for some fun along the way.

It took two more days to reach Yancheng.

Fortunately, the store in Yancheng has been renovated, and we are still in the process of purchasing various tables, chairs and tableware.

So there is no rush to open the business.

Feng Zhengming brought the two grandfathers to Yancheng, so Sixth Senior Brother naturally had to give them a good reception.

This time, Sixth Senior Brother also booked the best hotel in Yancheng for them.

It just so happened that my sixth sister-in-law also worked in that hotel, so I used her connections to get the job done.

When the hotel owner found out that Feng Zhengming was checking in with his family, he initially offered to waive the bill.

However, the Sixth Brother and his wife knew that Feng Zhengming did not want to be exempted from the bill.

So in the end, the hotel gave a discount, and the money was paid by the Sixth Brother and his wife.

Feng Zhengming arrived with his two grandfathers, originally wanting to give money to the sixth senior brother.

But he was rejected by the Sixth Senior Brother. "Zhengming, if you give me money, you don't treat me as your Sixth Senior Brother. Do we brothers need to talk about this little money? Your Sixth Senior Brother works in this hotel. The hotel gave us a discount. It didn't cost much."

At times like this, the hotel manager would naturally come out to greet them.

"Oh, I didn't expect our top scholar to be here. Welcome."

Feng Zhengming and the hotel owner are old acquaintances.

When he passed through Yancheng on foot before, he and his sixth senior brother specially invited the boss to dinner.

This is so that the boss can take better care of Sixth Sister-in-law.

The hotel owner was also a smart man and quickly promoted Sixth Sister-in-law in the hotel.

Let Liu Sao become the manager in charge of allocating service staff in the hotel.

In this way, Sixth Sister-in-law felt relatively more relaxed.

You can also have more time to take care of the children at home.

It won't happen that the Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law are busy with work, and the children can only go to the hotel to find Sixth Sister-in-law, or go to the restaurant to find Sixth Brother.

Now, Sister-in-law Liu gets off work every evening and is able to pick up the children.

At noon, the children went to Sixth Brother Restaurant for lunch.

But from now on, the children don’t have to go to Sixth Brother’s restaurant anymore.

Because Feng Zhengming’s branch in Yancheng is not far from his two children’s school.

In this way, the two children of the Sixth Brother’s family can go to the branch store for lunch.

Moreover, the branch has just been open for a while, so Feng Zhengming and Sixth Brother also need to stay in the store to look after it.

Feng Zhengming felt that it was not a big problem to ensure that the two children of his sixth senior brother had a good meal at noon.

Feng Zhengming personally came out to greet the hotel owner, shook hands and greeted the owner like an old friend, and introduced the owner to the two grandfathers.

The hotel owner became even more polite when he saw the two elderly people, and told them that if they had any needs, they could just tell the hotel and the hotel would do its best to meet them.

The two grandfathers exchanged pleasantries but did not trouble the hotel owner too much.

Afterwards, Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing led the two grandfathers to the room first.

Not long after he put the things down, the city of Yancheng had received the news, and then someone came specifically to see Feng Zhengming.

Feng Zhengming naturally understood this situation. It must be the hotel owner who spread the news of his arrival.

Feng Zhengming asked Luo Qing to accompany the two grandfathers, and he went downstairs to meet the people from Yancheng City.

When Feng Zhengming came downstairs, the people from Yancheng City immediately shook hands with him enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Feng. I'm Zheng Guoxing. We are really happy that you have opened a branch in Yancheng."

When the other party said the name, someone next to him helped introduce it.

Zheng Guoxing is now the deputy mayor of Yancheng.

Feng Zhengming quickly shook hands with the other party and politely expressed his fear.

"I'm so sorry that my visit alarmed the city leaders. I'm really a little panicked."

Zheng Guoxing smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Feng. It is an honor for us that you can come to Yancheng to open your first branch. We should indeed provide some support and convenience."

Feng Zhengming quickly said, "No, no, Mayor Zheng, I came to Yancheng to open the first branch. To be honest, I have some selfish motives, mainly because my sixth senior brother is in Yancheng.

As for me, I thought that I could ask Sixth Senior Brother for help.

Opening a branch in Yancheng is also an attempt. To be honest, I am not sure about it myself.

So I can only ask my Sixth Senior Brother for help. At least I have Sixth Senior Brother to back me up, and I can be more confident."

After a short pause, Feng Zhengming continued, "So I really don't dare to alarm the city, and this is just a small shop, so it's just an experiment."

Zheng Guoxing said with a smile: "Then Feng Zhuangyuan's trust in our Yancheng is even greater. We must give more support to Yancheng."

Feng Zhengming once again refused the support: "I really don't need any support. Instead, I hope that my branch can bring some new food trends to Yancheng, and help pass on the traditional food of Yancheng."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Zheng Guoxing and the people from Yancheng who came with him felt that it was very right.

"Well done, you are worthy of being the national champion of Shandong cuisine. Your thoughts are more pure than ours. Mr. Feng, we really admire your ambition."

Feng Zhengming expressed the city's support without waiting for the other party to speak again.

He interrupted the other party before he could speak.

"If you are willing, I hope that everyone can come to support our branch when it opens. Please supervise whether we have made our products well and whether the branch has the local characteristics of our Yancheng."

After hearing this, Zheng Guoxing and others naturally agreed with a smile.

I talked with the people from the city for a while and promised to attend the symposium in Yancheng City later.

Only then can we send the people from the city away.

Feng Zhengming came back and met the hotel owner again in the hotel lobby.

He was also a little helpless: "Boss, please don't disclose my whereabouts like this in the future, right? I really don't want to cause too much trouble to the city. I came here to open a store. I should bring some new things to Yancheng first, not ask for things from Yancheng first."

Feng Zhengming's words made the hotel owner feel a little ashamed.

The hotel owner was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Feng Zhuangyuan, are you from Yancheng?"

Feng Zhengming smiled: "I am not a native of Yancheng, but I feel that the whole Qilu is my hometown, and the whole country is also my hometown. It is my duty to make some contributions to my hometown."

At this moment, the hotel owner suddenly felt that there was a huge gap between his and Feng Zhengming's vision.

Feng Zhengming didn't say much to the hotel owner and went upstairs to the two grandfathers' room.

When the two grandfathers saw Feng Zhengming coming back, they asked about the situation of the people who came from the city.

After listening to Feng Zhengming's narration, the two grandfathers couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, it shows that you have a different identity now, especially after the provincial TV station broadcast the cooking program for you, many people got to know you and everyone knows you now."

"Yes, so wherever you go, you will definitely be taken seriously by the cities and towns."

Grandpa Situ added: "Besides, you came to Yancheng to open your first branch outside of Quancheng. How could Yancheng not pay attention to you?"

After hearing what the two grandfathers said, Feng Zhengming could only accept it silently.

"Well, there is really no way to avoid it. I hope that my branch will open smoothly and the subsequent operations will also go smoothly. This will also be worthy of everyone's attention and expectations of me."

Grandpa Situ encouraged: "It will definitely go well, with you, the top scholar, here."

Grandpa Feng nodded: "Yes, and your sixth brother, Minghai, is a down-to-earth guy. He will definitely help you run the branch well."

With the encouragement of his two grandfathers, Feng Zhengming regained his confident smile.

"Grandpa, let's go and find a place to eat tonight. Yancheng is famous for its seafood. Their sea cucumber rice is delicious, and there are also Spanish mackerel dumplings here.

Now that we are here, Grandpa, you must all have a taste of it. "

The two grandfathers naturally agreed, and the group went out together and headed straight to the big restaurant where the sixth senior brother was the chef. (End of this chapter)
