Chapter 830 Wishing you a New Year to Uncle Master
A few days during the Spring Festival, Feng Zhengming took his wife and daughter with him, and first wished his master a happy new year with his senior brothers.
Then he took his wife and daughter to wish the New Year to several masters in Quancheng.
He knew very well that he could do his own thing so easily in Shanghai, which was also inseparable from the help of several masters in Quancheng.
If it weren't for the masters' stay, it wouldn't take long for Feng Zhengming to leave Quancheng.
Maybe his position as the chef president will be beaten by others.
If there is anything wrong with the Provincial Chef Association, it is impossible for him to notify the president in Shanghai as soon as possible.
Although for Feng Zhengming, he no longer cared about the president's title.
If someone else really replaces him, it won't have much impact on him.
But after all, several masters are helping him, so Feng Zhengming should indeed come to pay New Year's greetings.
The respect the masters also benefited from Feng Zhengming's respect for them.
Of course, when Feng Zhengming came to pay New Year's greetings, the masters would also take the opportunity to recommend their disciples.
This is not to say that the masters want to help their disciples find a good position with Feng Zhengming.
The masters recommend it to Feng Zhengming, and they hope that their disciples can go to Feng Zhengming's kitchen to study.
The masters are still very clear that if you want to say that the store that is well-made in Shandong cuisine and that can give your disciples a training experience, the first choice is definitely Feng Zhengming's store.
Although we cannot go directly to Feng Zhengming’s two stores in Shanghai.
But if you can learn a lot if you can enter several stores in his Quancheng City or five stores in various parts of the province.
The most important thing is of course the blessing you can get in reputation.
After all, I worked in the kitchen of the Zhuangyuan store.
If you say this, you will be looked up to by others in the kitchens of other restaurants and restaurants in the future.
Most chefs cannot do such a big business as Feng Zhengming.
They still need to rely on their master's resume to gain favor from some restaurant and restaurant owners after they get started, in order to get better treatment or to enter a famous restaurant.
Feng Zhengming did not casually treat the masters' recommendations.
Feng Zhengming knew about the friendship between the masters and the masters helped him over the years.
He basically talked carefully about the matter with the masters about entering the kitchen of his shop.
"It's not that my kitchens are not short of people. I have always been short of people, but my kitchen requirements are relatively high, and all those who enter the kitchen need to undergo retraining.
The most important thing is that when you enter the kitchen, you must listen to the chef in the kitchen of each store.
I am afraid that the people you recommend to me, uncle and uncle, will have conflicts with the chefs in the kitchen in my shop. ”
Feng Zhengming did not say he didn't want anyone, but he just wanted to say something ugly first.
How do people get in the kitchen of each store?
After entering, how do you work?
What are the requirements for the kitchen?
Feng Zhengming must explain these things in advance.
After making it clear, are you willing to continue to enter the kitchens of several of your own stores? Still unwilling to enter, that is my personal choice.
The masters also understand what Feng Zhengming means.
It is not easy to make his reputation in those stores.
He has strict requirements for the kitchen staff, and these masters can understand it.
So after the chat, the masters also expressed it.
They would bring their words to their disciples, as for whether they would go to the kitchens of Feng Zhengming’s shops? This depends on your own choice.
Faced with the wise things of the masters, Feng Zhengming was also relieved.
During the New Year greetings, Feng Zhengming also gave Huang Tao a special greeting to his uncle.
Huang Tao never expected that Feng Zhengming would take time to visit his house to pay New Year's greetings.
In recent years, Huang Tao started to learn cooking, and later went to the south to become the editor-in-chief of the food magazine.
Later, he returned to Quancheng and helped Feng Zhengming host the Qilu Flavor Magazine.
It can be said that Huang Tao also has a very rich life experience.
Some time ago, Huang Tao also had differences with Feng Zhengming on the concept of the magazine.
Huang Tao wants to make some more commercial attempts.
He believes that simply attracting food lovers to buy magazines is not possible.
So Huang Tao’s idea is to take advantage of Feng Zhengming’s title of top scholar, attract some sponsors to sponsor magazines, and then advertise their sponsor’s products in magazines.
Of course, we started to buy magazines in order to attract more people.
If you increase the sales of the magazine so that you can attract sponsors, you must need Feng Zhengming, the top scorer, to help promote the magazine.
Huang Tao even thought that Feng Zhengming, in the name of the president of the Chef Association, asked chefs across the province to book a batch of magazines.
Of course, all these were rejected by Feng Zhengming.
Feng Zhengming still hopes that the magazine can do more purely.
Food magazines introduce food, and can intersperse some food-related stories.
But a magazine cannot be full of all kinds of advertisements.
Later, when Huang Tao saw the restaurant recommendation guide, he became popular with magazines and some restaurants.
He immediately came up with another idea.
What he thought at the time was to simply ask restaurants from all over Qilu to come to ask for recommended locations.
This way they can conduct paid auctions of recommended locations.
At that time, restaurants and restaurants in need can afford to pay for the other party to recommend the guide.
This was naturally rejected by Feng Zhengming.
Feng Zhengming specifically talked to Huang Tao once.
It is clear that the recommendation guide is why many people buy magazines and read them.
It is because the recommendation guide is absolutely fair and objective.
If the restaurants and restaurants recommended in the recommendation guide become money-spending by the other party, then the recommendation guide will no longer exist.
During that incident, Feng Zhengming and Huang Tao had a little unhappy.
Later, the master mediated it, which made the two of them resolve the unhappiness.
Although the two were mediated by their master's disagreement in their ideas.
But Huang Tao was still a little dissatisfied.
I think Feng Zhengming's approach is too rigid.
I feel that Feng Zhengming doesn't know how to adapt.
I also think that Feng Zhengming is doing big business, so I don’t care about these three melons and two dates, but I don’t understand the worldly ways at all.
Later, when Huang Tao saw Feng Zhengming opening two branches in Shanghai City, he quickly gained great fame in Shanghai City.
Suddenly Huang Tao realized that he might be wrong.
When I learned that Feng Zhengming could open a store in Shanghai, he could also attract a large number of overseas people working in Shanghai, and he used a large number of overseas people to visit and attracted many white-collar workers in Shanghai.
Huang Tao realized that he had underestimated Feng Zhengming.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to operate it.
But he has his own persistence.
When it comes to food, he absolutely cannot rub the sand in his eyes. He had to prepare the dishes first before he could operate them with various means.
Huang Tao can also understand why Feng Zhengming’s requirements for the recommendation guide are so strict.
The masters must try it themselves, and they also need to combine the experience feedback from some ordinary customers.
Huang Tao understood that Feng Zhengming wanted to establish the authority of the recommendation guide.
Only by establishing sufficient authority first can we continue to influence the operation of restaurants and restaurants.
After understanding this, Huang Tao realized the difference between his pattern and Feng Zhengming.
So after Feng Zhengming came back, Huang Tao felt a little embarrassed to see him.
It was absolutely unexpected that Feng Zhengming would bring his wife and daughter to his house to wish him a happy New Year.
Huang Tao’s wife smiled happily when she saw Feng Zhengming coming to her house to pay New Year’s greetings.
"Oh, our top scholar is so busy. I still remember to come to greet my uncle. It really makes our family prosperous. Our old Huang kept saying that he thought you would not come."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Feng Zhengming responded with a smile: "Aunt, you are polite. I will definitely come to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle. My uncle has helped me a lot in the past two years.
If it weren't for the teacher's work hard for me, the magazine sponsored by our Chefs Association would not have been so popular.
Also, if we were not the uncle, our recommended guide would not have been recognized by so many people. ”
Listening to Feng Zhengming's words made Huang Tao feel a little ashamed.
Huang Tao knew very well, if it weren't for Feng Zhengming's persistence.
According to his previous thoughts, the recommended guide may have been ruined by him.
Huang Tao quickly joined his wife and greeted Feng Zhengming and Luo Qing and his wife first.
Then Huang Tao asked his wife to take Luo Qing and her children into the house to play with her own children.
Luo Qing and her aunt both understood that Feng Zhengming and Huang Tao had something to say.
The aunt pulled her daughter and went into the house with Luo Qing holding the child.
Only Feng Zhengming and Huang Tao were left in the living room.
Huang Tao looked at Feng Zhengming with a little embarrassed.
"Zhengming, you still have vision. If it weren't for your persistence, our Qilu restaurant recommendation guide has been ruined in my hands."
Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Uncle Master, you are so serious. I know your ability. The guide will not be ruined in your hands no matter what."
Huang Tao then couldn't help asking: "Zhengming, have you ever thought about putting our magazine in Shanghai? Especially the recommendation guide for that restaurant?"
Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I may still need your hard help."
Huang Tao was a little excited when he heard this: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Feng Zhengming seriously told his uncle some of his plans.
"This is my idea. Let's first cooperate with some well-known magazines in Shanghai. Uncle Master, please write some related food articles. Don't write Shandong cuisine at first, and don't introduce my store.
We will introduce this food in detail at the beginning. Uncle Master, you may need to be a little busy.
I went to Shanghai City several times to interview and study the various details of this dish in detail.
You must understand and introduce the relevant things in this gang dish clearly. ”
Hearing Feng Zhengming say this, Huang Tao probably understood what he thought.
"Do you want to use the detailed introduction of this dish to make people in Shanghai like our stuff, and then gradually add some other cuisine elements?
Finally, let’s introduce the name of the specialty restaurant and gradually let everyone accept some of our restaurant recommendations? ”
Feng Zhengming smiled: "That's right, I'm just happy to chat with Uncle Master, and Uncle Master can understand it in one go."
Huang Tao smiled and said, "I'm going to tell you that I have had similar ideas in the past."
"Is that true?" Feng Zhengming was a little surprised, "Uncle Master, you didn't implement it?"
Huang Tao nodded: "Yes, I am really good at speaking, but I can't do it. My skills are really not good, so although I say some things well, I will definitely be criticized by others if I can't do them.
People will say that you are so lively, so why don’t you give us a try? ”
Speaking of this, Huang Tao spread his hands: "I can't do it, my cooking skills may not be as good as your aunt."
This made Feng Zhengming happy.
He knew that Huang Tao said in the end that his craftsmanship was not as good as his wife was modest.
Huang Tao is indeed not very proficient in cooking, but he is not the kind of person who doesn’t know anything about it.
In fact, Huang Tao's craftsmanship can still be served in the table.
Feng Zhengming also knew from his master that Huang Tao, the junior uncle, always said outside that his cooking skills were not good, and he basically only talked but not acted.
But in fact, when he was at home, Huang Tao would often cook for his wife and daughter.
But his skills are not comparable to Feng Zhengming, nor are they comparable to most professional chefs.
Feng Zhengming avoided the topic of cooking.
"Uncle Master, I know that you have been away from home for many years. You must be more familiar with the characteristics of various places. This time you want to develop in Shanghai, your advantages will be reflected."
This is what Huang Tao said.
Huang Tao has traveled many places around the world over the years.
His ability to appreciate food is still there.
Therefore, he has an understanding of food from all over the country.
For example, some of the specialties from different cuisines in different places, he will almost always find the most authentic ones to eat.
In Huang Tao's own words, he is definitely not as good as many professional chefs in cooking, but his tongue is still very picky.
This pickyness has enabled Huang Tao to have the strength in the food review.
Therefore, Feng Zhengming would be relieved and handed over the food magazine of the Chefs Association in Qilu to Huang Tao.
However, Huang Tao has been influenced by external commercial elements in recent years, so he always prioritizes commerciality when doing things.
It also became a shackle on his development.
This time, Feng Zhengming's correction of him can be regarded as bringing him back.
Let Huang Tao understand that he cannot pursue commercial interests first.
First, you have to do things. When you have enough influence and fame, you will naturally be easier to make profits.
Feng Zhengming and Huang Tao talked a lot, and the two of them deduced some details of the development of Shanghai City.
After discussing with Huang Tao, he did give Feng Zhengming more inspiration.
Feng Zhengming knew that he could not do everything well.
Many things need help from others after all.
Only by having more professional people to help you can you develop your career better.
It was noon before I knew it.
Huang Tao naturally wanted to keep Feng Zhengming at home for dinner.
Originally, Huang Tao wanted to cook, but Feng Zhengming volunteered.
"I'll come here as my uncle. Usually you and my aunt will not go to my store to eat. Today I will make a meal for you at home to ensure that you can taste the taste of my store."
Huang Tao’s daughter is naturally very happy and looking forward to it.
"It's great, you can get the top scorer's skills at home."
Huang Tao and his wife could only let Feng Zhengming cook at home.
