Su Junxia got Du Qingchen's words, and finally let go of his worries. He was afraid that Tao Xiude would lie to him, and second, that Du Qingchen would be angry because of the rumors in the town, but now it seems that he can let go of these two worries, and Su Junxia heaved a sigh of relief. , Hastily said: "I, actually, came to apologize. I wanted to apologize to Uncle Du for the previous incident. I didn't mean it. Butler Chen asked me to do it. This, I brought some supplements."

Tao Xiude gave him 1000 taels of silver to let him start, so Su Junxia is not short of money now, and he buys supplements when he says to buy supplements, and even the fabric of his clothes is much better.

Du Qingchen smiled and went to call Du's father, but as soon as he went out, he saw Tao Xiude who came to the door.

"Oh! What a coincidence!" Tao Xiude said with a smile when he saw Su Junxia as soon as he entered the door.

Su Junxia was taken aback for a moment, then stood up immediately, and stood aside with his hands folded.

"It's all right, sit down!" Tao Xiude greeted Du Qingchen, entered the room with a smile, and sat down casually. This time, he didn't care that Du's stools were poor and would stain his clothes.

"Why is Mr. Tao here?" Is there anything else?Du Qingchen especially wanted to ask the last question.

"Young Master Tao, you're too unfamiliar. I'll call you Brother Du, and you should call me Brother Tao too!" Tao Xiude said with a smile, shaking his folding fan.

"Master Tao is too polite."

"You are too polite. That's right! Where is your brother?" Tao Xiude looked around, "I heard from Liu Tai today that they are going to the provincial capital in the future. It just so happens that I am going back too. How about I go all the way?" Tao Xiude said, with a slight smile, "Stay at my house by the way."

"Young Master Tao... You're too polite, my brother, just stay at the inn." Du Qingchen hesitated and said, he didn't understand why Tao Xiude came here this time, just to show his goodwill?

In fact, Tao Xiude really came here purely to show his kindness. Du Qingchen owed him his life. Even if Du Qingchen didn't want to be the servant of the Tao family, he also wanted to befriend him. Anyway, Du Qingchen would only help Tao in the future. family, and will not harm the Tao family.

"How can I live in a hotel? Liu Tai is already going to live in my house, and there are not a few of them missing. Let's all live there. This way, we can go to the exam together, so that no one is left behind and misses out."

Du Qingchen chuckled, and simply called Du Rulin, "Young Master Tao invited you to live with Liu Tai in Tao's house, what do you think?"

Just as Du Rulin was about to open his mouth to refuse, Tao Xiude was already waving his folding fan, and said casually, "I have a famous teacher in my family who can prepare you and Liu Tai for the exam. , but it is a pity that his official career was unfavorable, so he resigned and retired, and now he is in my house, responsible for teaching my younger brothers and sisters."

Du Rulin silently swallowed the words that came to his lips, and stammered: "Then... Liu Tai, are you going too?"

"Liu Xiandi went there for this reason, and he still wants to ask my wife for advice! Don't Du Xiandi want to ask for advice?"

"Think..." Du Rulin replied in a low voice, and had to bow his head in front of the famous teacher.Besides, even if Master Liu bowed his head, it wouldn't be interesting for him to insist!

Hearing this, Du Qingchen knew that Tao Xiude's move hit the nail on the head. Liu Tai and other students would definitely not refuse Tao Xiude's invitation, so he stopped insisting and said with a smile: "In this case, my brother will be in trouble. Mr. Tao has taken care of it." Du Qingchen bowed his hands.

"You're welcome." Tao Xiude smiled in satisfaction.

"But Mr. Tao didn't want to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Why did he suddenly want to go back to the city?" Du Qingchen still remembered the reason why Tao Xiude came here in the first place. of.

"That's right! It's not that I was caught up in something, so my father has already sent my third brother back to my hometown, so I don't have anything to do with it." Tao Xiude replied, shaking his folding fan.

Father Du came out after sending Tao Xiude and Su Junxia away. He originally wanted to go to the provincial capital with Du Rulin so that he could take care of him. Determined not to go.

Father Du sighed with his hands behind his back, and went back to the house with a heavy heart.Du Qingchen quickly chased after him.

"Father, if Rulin wants to live in Tao's house, you can't go with him." Du Qingchen chuckled.

"So what?!" Du's father glared angrily, don't think he forgave Du Qingchen so easily, the previous things haven't been explained clearly yet!

Du Qingchen leaned over and said with a smile: "Father, we are going to build a house, so you can help me plant peppers at home, and then watch those builders! Su Dong and I have to go back to town, so we can't get away. !"

Father Du hesitated, sighed and nodded, "That's the only way to go."

"By the way, Dad, can you use the previous money for me first, I want to buy a shop."

"What kind of shop do you want to buy again? Do you have enough staff? Don't mess around, I think a restaurant is pretty good."

"But Dad, I want to buy back our family's ancestral property. I promised you once. Have you forgotten?" Du Qingchen said.

Father Du was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the Chen family who had just been confiscated and escorted to the provincial capital. The Chen family was confiscated, and the property under their name would be sold to fill the national treasury. They finally had the opportunity to buy back their former shop. Du's father's eyes turned slightly red. He didn't expect that they would be able to get back their ancestral property so soon.

The existence of ancestral property, even if it is tasteless, even if it is bought at a loss, for a traditional person like Du's father, it must be bought. Du Qingchen also knew this, so he wanted to buy back the restaurant. The crux of Du's father and Du Rulin's heart.In fact, his ancestral business was not that important to him.

Father Du raised his hand and pinched the corners of his eyes, suppressing the soreness in his nose, and said, "Here, I'll give you all, go use it!"

"Thank you dad!" Du Qingchen chuckled.

The next day, Du Qingchen also moved to the town with Su Dong, and lived in the woodshed where Du Qingchen used to live with Du Rulin. They sent the bed, bedding, mosquito net and other things. These were Su Dong's things, and it is difficult for Su Dong to go back now, so Su's mother asked someone to bring them over for Su Dong.

Du Qingchen looked at the familiar bedding, turned and left calmly, pretending not to see it.

Su Dong was very much looking forward to the life in the small restaurant, and even went to the market to buy a piglet, because Du Qingchen had promised him that he could raise pigs in the backyard.

Du Qingchen looked at the daughter-in-law who was standing in the yard holding the pig, and felt his scalp tingling, leaned over and asked seriously: "Do you have to raise it?"

Su Dong froze for a moment, is Du Qingchen going to go back on his word? !

"Okay, okay!" Without waiting for Su Dong to say anything, Du Qingchen confessed to himself, and silently warned himself, this is not a pig, this is the testimony of the friendship between Su Dong and Du's father, for the sake of the friendship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law, to be a son Husband, must give in, give in...

When it is a little older, it will be slaughtered to make braised pork!Du Qingchen thought viciously.

At present, the piglet weighs only a dozen catties, less than the length of a human arm. It looks cute, and it is white and tender. After it grows up, it looks so fat and big, and it can still be raised for a while Yes, Du Qingchen also admitted.

When Father Su heard that Su Dong wanted to raise pigs, he cheerfully came over to help build the pigsty. Du Qingchen looked desperately at the completion of the pigsty in less than noon, and grabbed Father Su's arm who was about to leave and asked : "Father, don't you think there's something wrong with raising pigs in restaurants?"

"Is there?" Su's father scratched his head blankly, and soon realized Du Qingchen's meaning, waved his hand and said, "Countrysiders, how can there be so much fuss, and you are the only one who has too many things. Putting potted plants, what's the use of putting that thing, other than occupying space, you can't eat or drink."

Oh, so it's still his, isn't it? !

Du Qingchen continued to sigh, shook his head silently, turned and entered the room.

After Su Dong put the piglet into the brand new pigsty, he followed into the house. He felt that Du Qingchen didn't look very happy, um, very unhappy.

Su Dong walked over and said anxiously: "Do you really don't want to raise pigs? Then...or, forget it, I will return the pigs."

Du Qingchen was taken aback, and immediately waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay!" Father Du and Su Dong worked together to win this, and he couldn't refuse, otherwise Father Du and Su Dong would be very disappointed, and the friendship they had established with great difficulty before would also be lost. of disintegration.

"Raise, raise! Just take care of it diligently!" Du Qingchen said.

"I will!" Su Dong nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Tao Xiude is going back to the provincial capital soon, and before he left, he came to Du's restaurant. After Tao Xiude had dinner, Du Qingchen specially invited him to go around the backyard, "This is my husband. How does Mr. Tao feel about Lang's son?"

Tao Xiude looked at the white, tender, and clean piglets in the pigsty, and his expression changed for a long time. Finally, he found his voice and gritted his teeth: "Brother Du! I didn't know you were so duplicity. Man! I thought you were a gentleman!"

Du Qingchen shook his head silently, "No, I'm an ordinary person, and I'm busy running around for money every day, so I can't be elegant."

Tao Xiude finally ran away and swore that before the pig disappeared, he would never set foot in Du's restaurant again. Before leaving, he even threatened Du Qingchen that there was no pig in this restaurant, and there was no pig without him!

But Du Qingchen didn't care, after all, Tao Xiude was going back to the provincial capital, even if there were no pigs, Tao Xiude wouldn't be able to come.

But Du Qingchen didn't have to worry about the existence of pigs soon, because the Chen family's property began to be sold, and with the Tao family as support, Su Junxia's acquisition of the Chen family's property in the county went very smoothly. Tao Xiude even left Su Junxia a The doorman is here to help him with his affairs. You know, Su Junxia doesn't even know a single word.

Du Qingchen also found Su Junxia specifically for the restaurant outside the private school. He couldn't compete with Su Junxia who had the Tao family as the backstage at the moment. Fortunately, Su Junxia didn't despise Du Qingchen because of his sudden wealth, and treated him the same as before, or even more respected.

"Boss Du, don't worry! I will never touch the shop you like! Let alone the restaurant outside the private school, it is in the county town. By the way, what about you in the county town? What if I leave you two restaurants?" of?" Su Junxia said sincerely.

Du Qingchen cupped his hands, "No need, I don't have that many people now, and I don't plan to go that far, just do business in the town first."

"Oh, that's it!" Su Junxia nodded, "Then, Boss Du, if you need my help, you must ask."

"Okay." Du Qingchen nodded and left Su Junxia's house.

Outside the door, Luo Qing came in with Yang Liu in his arms, and happened to meet Du Qingchen. Luo Qing's clothes also changed drastically. They were also made of good fabrics. Seeing Du Qingchen, Luo Qing greeted Du Qingchen with a smile, " Boss Du, what a coincidence!"

"It's not a coincidence! After all, this is Boss Su's home."

Luo Qing understood Du Qingchen's teasing, and couldn't help but blushed slightly and lowered his head.

Du Qingchen smiled and said: "The good days are coming soon? When will I have to follow the gift! It's just that you don't think I'm giving the gift lightly!"

"How could it be! Boss Du, if you give the root grass, we will treat it as a treasure!" Luo Qing said quickly, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Du Qingchen frowned, "You two, it's strange! Boss Su said just now that he would leave me two restaurants in the county town, and you're like this, what's wrong with me? Why are you doing this to me? It's too much, right? ?”

Hearing this, Luo Qing raised his head slightly, as if a little embarrassed, "Boss Du, don't worry, we have no other intentions, just want to be friends with you, I know, the Tao family is just using him, don't look at him Now the scenery is infinite, but he can't get involved in the real affairs. It's the doorman of the Tao family who decides. I just thought, if the Tao family asks Su Junxia to do something bad in the future, I'm afraid that at that time, He didn't even have anyone to discuss with, so he just thought..."

Du Qingchen sighed, "So, you want me to give him advice at critical times in the future?"

"Almost! I know, Boss Du, you have a good brain. In fact, I also know that Mr. Tao sought you at first, but you didn't want to, so it's Su Junxia's turn. I'm just worried, what you don't want, Maybe……"

"Don't worry! I don't want to because I don't want to be a domestic servant and be controlled by others. It's not because the Tao family is bad." Du Qingchen said.

Only then did Luo Qing lightly nod his head, "This way, we can also feel at ease. In fact, we are really afraid."

"Don't worry too much. Even though Su Junxia can't take care of too many things, he can only delegate power to the doorman of the Tao family, but he has a pure and kind personality. He has not changed his attitude towards me or you because of his sudden wealth. He can also be called He is a good man, Tao Xiude valued his kind of character, and it is the kind of person who will not make mistakes when the Tao family is not aware of it. Injury to the Tao family. A cautious person like Tao Xiude trusts Su Junxia, ​​and you should trust him too, nothing will happen to him."

Luo Qing nodded slowly, feeling a little relieved.

"Besides, good people are rewarded! Su Junxia has a good reputation now! I estimate that he is the most famous person in this area for hundreds of miles. I'm afraid there are still many people waiting in line to thank him for saving them His child! His journey is smooth! Be at ease!"

This is also the reason why Tao Xiude chose Su Junxia after him. Not just anyone has such a unique condition.Moreover, Su Junxia is righteous and pure, so you can rest assured that he will not do such evil things as the Chen family to implicate the main family. In Tao Xiude's eyes, such a candidate is indeed second only to him, and he is an excellent candidate.

Having said that, Luo Qing also cleared up a lot of doubts, relieved a lot, breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Boss Du, if you need anything in the future, you must speak up, Su Junxia and I , will definitely do my best to help you!"

"You two even say the same thing now, you really deserve to be married." Du Qingchen joked.

Luo Qing's face turned red again.

Two days later, the restaurant outside the private school changed its owner. Du Qingchen asked Mrs. Liu to inscribe it, engraved a plaque and hung it up, with the words "Du's Restaurant" written on it, which made Mrs. Liu shake his head and sigh, saying that Du Qingchen didn't Culturally, he couldn't even think of a good restaurant name, Du Qingchen just smiled and didn't refute.

It was originally the Du's restaurant, but now it is called the Du's restaurant, isn't it appropriate?At least, Father Du is very satisfied with this name. Every time he walks to the door, he will happily look at the plaque with his hands behind his back and laugh a few times. Although he doesn't know a few words, among the words he knows, there is a Du So every time he sees the familiar word Du on the plaque, Du's father is in a good mood.

Du Qingchen kept Du Youcai to continue his business in the small restaurant, almost full-time in charge of takeaway meals, and recruited a few new apprentices to help the restaurant in the restaurant. Du Fugui can now take Du Qingchen's place as the head chef, and Du Qingchen also He raised the wages of Du Youcai and Du Fugui and asked them to bring in new apprentices, while he let them go and just supervised the quality, or occasionally taught the two of them some new dishes. Most of the time, they stayed in the lobby to cook Shopkeeper, life is much easier in an instant.

Du Qingchen and Su Dong also moved to the room at the back of the restaurant. Well, the decoration of the Chen family was very nice and suitable for living, much better than the small restaurant before.

Even though he lives in the backyard of the restaurant, Su Dong still misses the pigs he raises in the small restaurant, and rushes over to take care of them every day, even if Du Youcai swears that he will take good care of the piglets in the small restaurant. You have to see it with your own eyes to be at ease.

In the restaurant, Du Qingchen was lying on the counter, seeing Su Dong who had just returned from feeding pigs in the small restaurant, and said bitterly, "Why do I think you treat pigs better than me?"

Su Dong looked back in a daze, Du Qingchen immediately put on a pitiful look, Su Dong was amused, couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked around embarrassedly, there were guests coming and going in the lobby, and Xiao Er was busy, Su Dong walked up to the counter and lowered his voice in embarrassment, "How can someone compare himself with a pig! Are you stupid!"

"What's wrong with a pig? I'm not as good as a pig in your heart! You think about feeding it every day, but you don't even think about feeding me. I haven't had lunch yet!" Du Qingchen pouted aggrievedly, deliberately teasing Su Dong .

"Really!" Su Dong believed, "Then, let Fu Gui cook it for you! Or stir-fry more for you when cooking, and let you mix it out for you to eat."

"He's so busy, how can he have the time! You don't know, and you don't know what's wrong. When the Chen family was doing business here, they lost money every day. When it came to my hands, it was full of customers. How could the rich have time to give it to me?" I make food!" Du Qingchen curled his lips and continued to tease him.

"You're so busy! Then, should I also help out with the waitress, or go to the back kitchen to help out?" Su Dong felt that it was really bad for him to think about pigs all the time, and he should stay and help.

Du Qingchen waved his hand, "No need, there is no shortage of this, Fugui is busy alone, after all, he is the chef!"

Su Dong looked at Du Qingchen with suspicion and blame, "He is so busy, why don't you help him make something? You go to the kitchen to help him for a while, and he can take a rest. Then, you can take your own The meal is done, so if you exchange it with Fugui, both of you can rest and eat."

"Eh..." Du Qingchen, who had successfully led himself into the ditch, touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "Actually, he doesn't seem to be that busy. He came here when he was busy, and he's fine."

"You lied to me again." Su Dong was used to it.

"No way! It's really busy! Look, are there a lot of customers?" Du Qingchen pointed to the lobby, Su Dong looked around, it was indeed full, and even when he came in, he saw customers outside the restaurant wait.

Su Dong asked strangely, "That's right! There are really a lot of people, but the Chen family was here before, didn't they say they kept losing money?"

Du Qingchen smiled triumphantly, "That's because I cut off the private school's business, of course they lost money, but now! The private school's meals will continue to be provided by the small restaurant, but the restaurant has fresh dishes prepared by me, so even if It’s the restaurant that still doesn’t have private school business, but some people come here especially to try something new.”

The decoration of the Chen family is still very good, the space in the back kitchen has been expanded a lot, all kinds of kitchen utensils are complete, and there is even an oven. It is a pity that the chef of the Chen family is mediocre, and there is no source of customers for the private school. In a small town, the Chen Family Restaurant couldn't afford to pay.

But he is different. Although he and Du Fugui's cooking skills are average, the dishes are novel. Moreover, the cooking skills are not good, and the seasonings are mixed. A lot of seasonings come out, such as ground Chinese prickly ash into powder, you can sprinkle a little on most meals to increase the taste, and there is always stock in the kitchen for flavoring, you know, there was no such thing as chicken essence and monosodium glutamate in ancient times , It all depends on the broth to enhance the freshness. Whether there are dishes that enhance the freshness, the taste can be said to be a world of difference.

Coupled with some miscellaneous things and some tricks, Du's food has always been delicious. Although it is not comparable to real chefs and famous chefs, it is also superior to most chefs. .

"By the way, let's have hot pot tonight!" Du Qingchen chuckled. "I ground some sauce, and I'll give you something fresh to eat."

It's a pity that few people grow sesame seeds here, so he didn't find enough sesame seeds to make sesame paste. He just made some peanut butter, and then mixed it with pepper powder and other condiments. He prepared it for a long time. I found the right ratio, and made peanut butter that can be eaten in hot pot, which happens to be a first meal at night.

Su Dong didn't know what hot pot was, but Du Qingchen would always bring out some fresh dishes, so Su Dong didn't think too much about it, and nodded with a light smile, "Okay!"
