Chapter 68 The Crab Garden

68 Crab Garden

Liang Lizhi and her party left after having lunch in Zhonghua Building.

Before leaving, Liang Lizhi and Liu Shanwei went to find Mu Feng.

"Master, we are going back." Liang Lizhi smiled and greeted Mu Feng who was supervising the cooking of the chefs.

Mu Feng walked over, smiled, and motioned for the two to talk outside.

After the three of them left the back kitchen, they came to the nearby staff lounge.

"Master, thank you for helping me so much just now. I don't even know how to thank you." Liang Lizhi said very embarrassedly.

"Yeah, Master Mu, thank you so much! As soon as I met her father, I was scared, and I didn't know how to help Lizhi." Liu Shanwei smiled awkwardly and said.

"What are you talking about? She is your wife, you should help her! Besides, you can walk around the world with reason, but you can't walk without reason!" Mu Feng glanced at him speechlessly, seeing that he was really embarrassed, his tone softened "Of course, Lizhi's father is an elder after all, so you can understand without knowing how to speak..."

Liu Shanwei laughed twice.

Mu Feng thought for a while, sighed, looked at Liang Lizhi and said, "I don't know what to say about your family affairs. Even if I am your master, I am an outsider after all. As the saying goes, housework is difficult for an upright official. In short I just say, learn the craft well! This is more important than anything else!"

While talking, Mu Feng scratched his forehead and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm just a young man in his twenties, and I haven't realized it yet! Let alone teach you how to live.

OK, that's it!Not to mention, in short, I still say the same thing, learn the craft well, learn the craft well, learn the craft well!Say the important thing three times, hehehe~"

Liang Lizhi and Liu Shanwei also laughed.

"By the way, how are you doing with the three ways I taught you before?" Mu Feng asked.

"It's not bad. Besides, I've thought about how to make goat belly core and goat mushrooms." Liang Lizhi said.

"Okay, if you are free these two days, you can come over, the time is set in the afternoon, and I will teach you the rest of the recipes." Mu Feng said.

"Okay, thank you master!" Liang Lizhi said.

"Okay, let's do it like this! You're yelling like a master, I feel like I'm in my seventies, obviously I'm still so young!" Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Master, let's go back first." Liang Lizhi said with a smile.

Mu Feng nodded.

"Master Mu, let's go back then." Liu Shanwei said.

Mu Feng smiled and waved his hand.

Looking at the back of Liang Lizhi going away, Mu Feng had some inexplicable thoughts in his heart.

In fact, he didn't say a lot of things.

To be honest, Liang Lizhi was lucky to meet such a mother-in-law.

Liang Lizhi has a lot of energy in her body, but she just missed it.

Although Mu Feng is her master, he is nearly ten years younger than her in terms of age.

Therefore, when some words came out of Mu Feng's mouth, it would inevitably appear awkward.

Mu Feng only hoped that she could figure it out for herself, she must work hard to manage the belly shop well, only in this way can she truly live the life she wants.

Not only men should be self-improvement, but also women should be like this.

Since ancient times, women have always been more difficult than men in many aspects. Only by self-improvement can we be free.

After Liang Lizhi and Liu Shanwei left, Mu Feng scratched the back of his head and thought to himself, as a master, my mentality has also grown old.

It is terrible!

I'm still a little fresh meat!

Mu Feng shouted in his heart.

----

In the afternoon of the next day, Liang Lizhi brought the ingredients to Zhonghua Building.

Mu Feng taught the other cooks how to cook, and at the same time taught her how to make fried belly.

Originally, Liu Shanwei had thought about learning how to make belly pops, but because they are a husband and wife shop, they couldn't both learn the craft.

Someone has to do other work in the store, and it takes a lot of energy to cashier, do chores, and greet customers.

If you have to take these things into consideration when practicing skills, it won't matter how long you practice.

In addition, this culinary skill is also about talent, Liang Lizhi's talent is indeed much better than Liu Shanwei's.

Therefore, Liu Shanwei gave up the idea of ​​learning crafts, and carefully arranged other things properly, so that Liang Lizhi could feel at ease.

After a few days like this, Mu Feng taught Liang Lizhi all kinds of techniques for making beef belly and sheep belly, as well as the corresponding problems that need attention.

Liang Lizhi also used her mobile phone to take pictures of all the key points and Mu Feng's way of making belly pops.

The rest depends on her own hard work and talent.

Of course, it's impossible to say that you can make delicious fried belly if you know the skills and practices.

Although Mu Feng taught all the skills.However, if Liang Lizhi wants to master these skills well, it will take one year as soon as possible, and two or three years as slow as possible.

If it is to reach the skill of Mu Feng or her father Liang Zhangkun, then it will take no one knows how long it will take.

But with a definite goal and a practical approach, all that's left is to keep your head down and do the hard work.

In this way, compared to the headless flies before, I don't know how many times better.

----

One day, after Mu Feng taught cooking and was about to go back to Su Ji, Shi Nancheng suddenly came to him with an invitation letter.

"Mu Feng, come and have a look." Shi Nancheng handed an invitation letter to Mu Feng.

"What is this?" Mu Feng said while taking the invitation letter.

"Invitation letter from Maofengling Resort." Shi Nancheng said.

Mu Feng opened the invitation letter and looked at it.

"Han Jianwu wants us to be special guests?" Mu Feng said after reading the invitation letter, "He actually built a crab garden in Maofengling Resort."

"I was stunned when I saw it just now. This Han Jianwu moved so fast. I remember that when we went last time, there was no sign of a crab garden being built in the resort. He is about to open in a short time." Shi Nancheng He smiled and said.

At this time, Mu Feng's cell phone rang.

Mu Feng took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that it was Han Jianwu calling.

"Hey, Uncle Han, congratulations!" Mu Feng said with a smile after answering the phone.

"Mu Feng, you should be free the day after tomorrow, right? On the opening day of the Crab Garden, I would like to invite you to be a special guest..." Han Jianwu said with a smile.

After listening for a while, Mu Feng nodded, and said to Han Jianwu on the phone: "Uncle Han, I have to think about this matter, and I will answer you later."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Feng looked at Shi Nancheng with a puzzled expression, and said, "Han Jianwu wants our Zhonghua Building to have a whole crab feast there on the day the crab garden opens."

"A whole crab feast?" Shi Nancheng nodded after listening, "This Han Jianwu is really good at marketing! He is planning to use the name of Zhonghua Building to stir up the crab garden!"

"What do you think?" Mu Feng asked.

"Although Han Jianwu wants to use the name of Zhonghua Building to make a fuss, but in turn, we can also use Han Jianwu's momentum to promote Zhonghua Building.

Han Jianwu has been running this Maofengling resort for so long, so he must know a lot of people. When the crab garden opens, he will definitely invite many celebrities to come.

If Zhonghua Lou can take this opportunity to show his face in front of these people, it will be of great help to Zhonghua Lou's reputation. "Shi Nancheng said.

"Then let's go there." Mu Feng nodded and said.

"However, if you go, it will be equivalent to clarifying your identity. From now on, you will really be the chief chef of Zhonghua Building. Will it affect your personal plan? What about Su Ji?" Shi Nancheng asked road.

"I've thought about this before, and I plan to switch to Suji's management by lottery in the future," Mu Feng said.

"Draw lots?" Shi Nancheng was a little puzzled.

"Su Ji will gradually turn into a model similar to a private kitchen in the future. I plan to create a small program on the official account. In the future, I think that guests who eat at Su Ji can participate in the lottery. At that time, a certain number of guests will be drawn every day, and the winner will be You can go to Suji for dinner. In this way, Suji and Zhonghualou will not affect each other." Mu Feng said.

After listening to Mu Feng's words, Shi Nancheng nodded, because the positioning of Su Ji and Zhonghua Building are different, and the operating costs of the two are very different.

Therefore, the price of Su Ji is much lower than that of Zhonghua Building.

If customers know that they can eat the dishes made by the chief chef of Zhonghua Building at a low price at Su Ji, it will have a great impact on Zhonghua Building.

If according to what Mu Feng said, Su Ji will switch to a private kitchen model in the future and operate by lottery, then going to Su Ji for dinner will become a surprise.

By then, the price gap between the two places will no longer be of much concern to customers.Guests will only think that being able to eat at Suji is because they are lucky and have won a lottery.In this way, it is a win-win situation for Zhonghualou and Suji.

Su Ji can take advantage of Zhonghualou's reputation to rise, and Zhonghualou can further step up to a higher level in the food industry because of Mu Feng's official and public seat.

Mu Feng actually thought about this problem very early on, and as time went by, the connection between him and Zhonghualou became closer and closer.

Moreover, in the foreseeable future, the relationship between the two will get better and better.

Since sooner or later he will gain a foothold in the food industry as the chief chef of Zhonghua Building, he simply took this opportunity to show his face at the opening ceremony of the crab garden held by Han Jianwu.

----

The days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon came the opening day of the crab garden.

Because this time it is not just one table of dishes, but more than twenty tables, so Mu Feng can no longer fight alone like before.

This time, he brought Jin Mingwu, Hou Yongjie, and several other chefs with him.

As for Gao Kai, he stayed at the Zhonghua Building. After all, the Zhonghua Building also needs to operate normally, and there must be a chef in charge.

The group then came to Maofengling Resort.

After arriving at Maofengling, Han Jianwu came to greet him in person.

"Mu Feng, Mr. Shi, welcome." Han Jianwu said happily.

"Uncle Han, isn't the business in the resort good recently?" Mu Feng greeted.

"It's okay, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Hahaha." Han Jianwu laughed.

"Han Dong, why did you suddenly think of starting a crab garden?" Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

"I'm not looking for innovation and change! This business is difficult, but you have to make some novelties?" Han Jianwu said.

"You specially invited us here this time, maybe you don't want to poach the chief chef of our Zhonghua Building?" Shi Nancheng teased.

As soon as he arrived at Maofengling Resort, Shi Nancheng couldn't help but think of what happened the last time he came.

"Mufeng is the treasure of our Zhonghua Building!" Shi Nancheng was half teasing, half declaring his sovereignty.

"How can I? How dare my small resort poach the chief chef of Zhonghua Building?" Han Jianwu said with a smile.

In fact, after Mu Feng left last time, he did still have the intention of recruiting and sent someone to investigate in private.

It turns out that although Mu Feng is called a gourmet consultant, his status is equivalent to the chief chef of Zhonghua Building, and even more prestigious than the chief chef of ordinary restaurants.

It can be said that in Zhonghua Building, Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng are almost equal.

Han Jianwu asked himself no matter how much he valued talents, he couldn't treat Mu Feng like Shi Nancheng.

In this way, he gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Mu Feng.

"Han Dong, are there any distinguished guests who are here to attend the opening ceremony?" Shi Nancheng asked.

"That's a lot. The city leaders, newspapers, and TV stations all sent people over." Han Jianwu said.

After the two sides chatted for a while, Han Jianwu left first because he was going to receive other guests.

Mu Feng and the others were led by the staff to the crab garden.

The crab garden in Maofengling is located in the depression. It is said to be a crab garden, but it is actually a restaurant.

However, the crab garden is located by the lake, and the scenery is really quite good, and a large platform extends out of the lake.

It is also a pleasure for the guests to eat crabs and enjoy the lake view.

The restaurant occupies a large area. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will see countless glass jars filled with various crabs.

Those glass tanks are stacked up layer by layer like a pyramid, as high as two or three floors, and they look spectacular.

There are many kinds of crabs in the glass tank, domestic, foreign, freshwater, saltwater, everything that one expects to find.

The staff led Mu Feng and the others to the back kitchen.

On the way to the back kitchen, Mu Feng caught a glimpse of a person by chance, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Bai Jingyang, why is he here?

Mu Feng turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was walking away, feeling a little puzzled.

Seeing Mu Feng's reaction, Shi Nancheng asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I saw someone from Fuxing." Mu Feng said.

"Who is Fuxing's man?" Shi Nancheng asked.

"Bai Jingyang." Mu Feng said.

"Bai Jingyang? He's not staying in Fuxing, what is he doing here?" Shi Nancheng was taken aback.

"Could they also be invited by the resort to have a whole crab feast?" Jin Mingwu said suddenly.

"Probably not, Han Jianwu has been running Maofengling for so long, he should know about the relationship between Zhonghualou and Fuxing.

Although, if the two restaurants were to fight against each other, it would be very eye-catching, but if it was not handled properly, it would easily mess up the opening ceremony.

Moreover, it will offend two restaurants at the same time.Han Jianwu probably wouldn't do this, not to mention that Fuxing wouldn't agree to openly fight against Taiwan like this. "Shi Nancheng said.

"Maybe he is also here to attend the opening ceremony!" Mu Feng said.

Shi Nancheng shrugged: "Maybe! Regardless of him, we must make a good crab feast today and take this opportunity to show our faces."

----

On the other side, Bai Jingyang also saw Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng just now.

Bai Jingyang didn't have any impression of Mu Feng at first, he was the special chef of Fuxing Restaurant, his status was only lower than Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe, and he was also one of the backbones who left Zhonghualou back then.

Because I don't care about things usually, I don't know much about other juniors in the back kitchen.

The first time he heard the name Mu Feng, it was because Zou Chengming and Mu Feng had a crushing defeat in the ring, and then he knew that Mu Feng had worked in Fuxing Restaurant before.

He knows Shi Nancheng quite well, because Shi Nancheng has been poaching the chef of Fuxing Restaurant before.

In addition, Shi Nancheng is a descendant of the Shi family, so he will naturally have more snacks.

Just now, he happened to catch a glimpse of Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng's group, and he was inexplicably confused.

He is a chef, so he is very sensitive to his peers.

He saw several people behind Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng just now, and he could clearly know that these people were chefs by looking at their unintentional aura.

With so many chefs appearing at the same time, you don't need to think about what they are here for.

So, he planned to go to Han Jianwu to find out what was going on.

Because there were large-scale events in Maofengling Resort before, chefs from Fuxing Restaurant were always hired to organize the banquets.

This time, Fuxing Restaurant was not hired. He originally thought that Han Jianwu should find a chef who specializes in cooking crabs for the opening ceremony.

He didn't expect to hire the chef from Zhonghua Building, which made him a little hard to understand.

When Han Jianwu was found, he was receiving guests.

Bai Jingyang was waiting at the side.

After waiting for a while, he calmed down and thought about it, feeling a little speechless at how excited he was.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head with a grin. It was because Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe kept mentioning Zhonghua Building in his ears, so he was so sensitive.

He is dull by nature and doesn't care much about other things except cooking.

It was because I didn't turn the corner in my mind for a while, that's why I wanted to ask Han Jianwu for clarification.

However, after he calmed down, he felt that it was no big deal.

Anyway, Fuxing Restaurant is already well-known, so there is no need to take this opportunity to increase its reputation, let alone attract business.

It doesn't matter whether Maofengling resort hires their lucky stars to organize the banquet.

On the contrary, Maofengling Resort did not have the Fuxing Restaurant to build momentum, and the publicity effect would be greatly reduced.

Having figured this out, Bai Jingyang continued to visit the crab garden on his own.

In fact, if Pan Deming or Yan Shenghe were here, they would never let Zhonghua Lou show his face on this occasion.

There are so many celebrities attending the ceremony today, and the city leaders are also here, if Zhonghua Lou can successfully show off in front of these people.

Then, the signboard of Zhonghua Building has really been erected again.
