Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

Du Qingchen was worried that if the relief food really ran out, the victims outside the city would riot. It's a disaster without reason. Since ancient times, the victims are extremely hungry but they will rise up. A mere city gate can't stop the hungry and crazy victims. If they break into the city...

Du Qingchen secretly thought about retreating, but it was impossible to go out of the city at this time, the outside would only become more chaotic, so he could only stay in the city, but if he stayed in the city, if he really got to that point, how would he protect his family?I just hope Tao Taishou can figure out a way to solve this matter!

Du Qingchen was depressed, but before he was depressed for a long time, Father Su at home came to him. Seeing that he was busy, he was still a little restrained, and he didn't know whether he should speak.Du Qingchen asked first, "What's the matter, Dad?"

Only then did Father Du speak, "Didn't you say last time that sweet potatoes are sticky and you want to study how to extract the sticky stuff to make pastries?"

"Well, yes." Du Qingchen didn't make rock candy first, but when he was eating sweet potatoes one day, he told his family members that the sweet potatoes were sticky, wondering if he could make something interesting, after all, White sugar is made by adding yellow muddy water like brown sugar, which has earned so much money, maybe other things can also be used!

Du Rulin just looked up at him at that time, and didn't say anything. He only thought that Du Qingchen had tasted the sweetness of white sugar, so he wanted to come up with new things and make money. He didn't think Du Qingchen's move was strange. , besides, all his thoughts are on preparing for the exam at the moment, but Du Qingchen is a little strange, so he doesn't have the energy to think too much.

Seeing that Du Rulin was not suspicious, Du Qingchen was secretly relieved.After he raised this point, he didn't do it himself, and he didn't propose any way to make vermicelli. Instead, he handed it to Mother Su to study and play.

Du Qingchen remembers that vermicelli is made from sweet potatoes, and after crushing sweet potatoes, rinse the sweet potato powder with water, take the water and let it stand still, then skim off the water on the top, and the sediment on the bottom is sweet potato powder, and add water and cook it to become vermicelli.He felt that Mother Su would always be able to find out this method if she tried more, so she didn't mention it much.

"Your mother made it out, cooked it all, and put it in the yard!" Father Su smiled honestly.

"So fast!" Du Qingchen was taken aback.It seems that the reason why vermicelli has never appeared in this world is because others never thought of extracting the starch from sweet potatoes to make food, but they did not pierce the window paper.

"That's right!" Father Su scratched his head, "It's actually quite easy, just... woo woo woo..." Du Qingchen stepped forward and covered Father Su's mouth.

"Father, let's go back and have a look! Go back and talk." Du Qingchen grinned, let go of Su's father, and pulled him back. The people in the store didn't care. After all, Du Qingchen was often not in the store, and they were used to it. Now, as for what Du's father said, they didn't know the inside story, and they didn't understand it, so they quickly forgot it.

At home, Su's mother's hearty laughter spread outside the house. Before Du Qingchen entered the door, he heard Su's mother's unique loud voice. , looking at the thick gray-black object in a wooden basin, Father Du even wanted to reach out and break off a piece to taste it.

Mother Su didn't stop her, she put her hips on her hips and said proudly, "This must be the dim sum that Qingchen mentioned, and I can definitely make it!"

Father Du took a bite and shook his head silently, "It's not delicious, it can't be used as a snack, and what Qingchen means is, can you take its stickiness and make other dim sum? , I tasted this piece, it is not as delicious as the sweet potato itself!"

Raw vermicelli must not taste good!There was no taste at all, Du Qingchen walked over quickly, before Su's mother got mad and refuted Du's father, he interjected with a smile, "I'll taste it, I'll taste it."

Only then did Du Qingchen see clearly the large gray-black object in the wooden basin, which was smooth and elastic, and its shape was exactly that of the wooden basin in his kitchen turned upside down. It can be seen what Su's mother used to steam it. Du Qingchen stretched out his hand and poked it. Next, the vermicelli moved tremblingly, um, I checked my eyes, it was a vermicelli that had not been dried.

Du Qingchen raised his hand and broke off a piece. Fortunately, the vermicelli was not dried in the sun, and there was a lot of water, so it was easy to break off. Du Qingchen tasted it in his mouth, frowned and thought, this thing is not the traditional vermicelli. It's a whole piece, and with too much water, I'm afraid it can't be formed into vermicelli. I have to tell Mother Su to improve it, but what does he say!

Du's father had already said: "Qingchen, you also think this product is not good, right! I just told her that the dried sweet potato flour before is fine without adding water, that's what you want, add some when making snacks If you put it in, it will increase the stickiness, and the dim sum will be easy to shape, but she insists on adding water to cook it, saying that she wants to see what delicious things can be cooked."

"Hey... my in-laws, I'm just here to try it out. Qing Chen also tried it out when he made white sugar. If I try more, maybe I can produce other good things!" Mother Su said dissatisfied. , but worried about Du's father's identity, he didn't want to really quarrel, so he could only suppress his violent temper.

Du Qingchen hurriedly said: "It's a good thing, it can be used. I'll go back and study how to make some delicious ones. Of course, mother, I want that sweet potato flour, and I want this too. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course!" Mother Su laughed.

"Mother, this, this sweet potato cube! Can we put in less water, will it be harder? Then pull it into shreds and cook, so that the shape will be better?" Du Qingchen tentatively proposed vermicelli look like.

Mother Su was taken aback, "Why don't you try it?" She also thought the big piece was very ugly, and she was afraid it would be troublesome to use.

"That's great. I'll get you a sieve tomorrow to see if you can make noodles in the same shape. Of course, the thinner the better, the finer it looks!" Du Qingchen smiled.

"Are you really planning to make this dusty thing? Well, how do you eat it?" Du's father was dissatisfied and puzzled, and he just thought that Du Qingchen was trying to make his mother-in-law happy, and there was nothing he could do.

"Father, I tasted this tasteless, I thought, less water will make it harder, maybe it can be made like noodles, then I will put more peppers and seasonings, I will try it first , if it doesn’t work, let’s talk about it!” He is going to make hot and sour noodles, and he will definitely make it.In the future, stewed pork vermicelli, stewed pork ribs with vermicelli, spinach meatball soup, large buns with leek vermicelli, and cold vermicelli can be made!

Father Du could only nod when he heard the words, "Then you should try it first! But I really think the sweet potato flour is pretty good, adding water, it will make the water thicker when heated."

Du Qingchen nodded, that's for sure!This is starch, but starch is really useful in the kitchen, and he needs it too.

……

In Yuanxian County, Shao Qing stood in front of the granary with a dark face. This was the grain purchased with the relief money allocated by the imperial court. A few days ago, a big fire burned half of it alive, leaving only this half unburned The burnt, barely edible food is not enough.

Shao Qing's fists were tightly clenched, this was his first time receiving an errand, and with his status, if he messed up, the Fifth Prince would be punished as well!

Shao Qing turned around and asked Gao Han who was half a step behind him, "Is there any news from Governor Tao?"

As soon as the fire broke out, he sent someone to inform Tao Taishou, asking him to find a way to transport food. Tao Taishou was also attached to the Fifth Prince. They were on the same front and shared weal and woe. Powerful, after all, he has a prominent family background, no matter how bad he is, he can save his life, but Tao Taishou is not.

If the disaster relief is unfavorable and causes public grievances, the fifth prince will also eat melons, let alone Tao Taishou, the king insults his ministers to death, it is definitely not a joke, and the fifth prince is their king.

Gao Han bowed and saluted, "Master, don't worry, Tao Taishou has already suppressed the merchants of Han County, and asked them to hand over the grain, and it is about to be shipped over. Moreover, the Tao family has also sent people to other provinces to buy grain. Gui, Tao Taishou will also buy enough food for the master, so that the master can help the disaster!"

"It's better to be like this, and it's better to be faster!" Shao Qing gritted his teeth. "If you let me know who set the fire secretly, I will definitely tear him into pieces!"

Gao Han was ordered to investigate this matter. Hearing this, he immediately replied, "Yes, the slave will definitely find out this person and hand it over to the master."

They actually knew that someone in the court was going to target this disaster relief, so Shao Qing and Tao Taishou used their confidantes in everything they did in this disaster relief, they were people who were attached to them, to the fifth prince, but even so, they were still treated as such. Someone took advantage of the loophole and stabbed them hard in the rear, trying to force them to death!

Once this kind of traitor is caught, Shao Qing will kill him with his own hands, and then send someone to destroy his whole family.

Shao Qing suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he turned to look at Gao Han, "Do you still remember Pingxing County? There are a few gentry in their county, one of them is Du Qingchen. A batch of food."

Gao Han hesitated and said: "According to what they said that day, it seems that there are not many, just enough for their own use."

Shao Qing waved his hand, "At this time, who cares whether they use it for themselves or for others! You go! You go in person! The matter of investigating traitors is temporarily handed over to others, and you take my token to Pingxing The county, tell them the county magistrate, ask them to squeeze out a sum of food for disaster relief, anyway, the disaster in their county is not serious, and there is no need for relief, there is still some food to squeeze out.”

"Yes!" Gao Han didn't hesitate at all, and immediately cupped his hands. As for how to squeeze out the grain in Pingxing County, he couldn't control that much.

At this moment in the provincial capital of Han County, Tao Taishou's face was black and dark, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Regarding the fire in Yuan County, he was actually more frightened than Shao Qing. Just as Shao Qing thought, if it really happened As for the matter, the first unlucky one was him, not Shao Qing.His background is too weak, he is neither a child of a powerful family, nor protected by an intricate network of in-laws, he only has himself, and if something happens, he is the best target to shirk responsibility.

Even Tao Xiude didn't care about studying in peace, but came out to help.

"Father, the food has already arrived, and we bought it from other places at a high price." Tao Xiude lowered his head, his expression equally ugly, and added: "Most of our property has been consumed!"

And this money, no one will give them back, it's all thrown out for nothing, and it's all the fault of the traitor who set the fire!If you let him know who it is...

Tao Xiude also gritted his teeth with hatred. After all, when the fire broke out, the relief would be difficult to maintain. The victims would definitely cause trouble if they were hungry, and they might even threaten the provincial capital. He will fall into hell on earth, and what will happen when the hungry victims break into the city, anyone can imagine, if so, his father, as the prefect of Han County, is afraid that he will commit the crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family!

"Okay, okay, it's good if you buy it." Tao Taishou no longer cared about any family property or not, and the most important thing was to survive this disaster smoothly.

Tao Xiude also understands this truth, at this time, he doesn't care about money anymore, let's save his life and official position first! "I don't know who my father will send to deliver the grain?"

"You go in person!" Tao Taishou said, he couldn't believe anyone at the moment, weren't the people who were sent to rescue Shao Qing with Shao Qing before all their confidants, didn't they also turn out to be traitors?Tao Taishou only trusts his own son now, and when he gets through this test, he will have to wash the people around him with blood to see how many people still have ambiguity and evil intentions.

Tao Xiude clasped his hands and said, "Yes, but the son alone is not enough, can the person delivering the food..."

"They are merchants from other places, they are protected by bodyguard bureaus, and they come scattered, I'm afraid they can't do it." Tao Taishou shook his head, the people around him can't be used this time, because they can't afford a second betrayal.And foreign merchants who do business with them are not easy to provoke, after all, who dare to do business with them at this time, and even dare to transport grain into Han County, even he has to pay three points, it is really impossible to command .

Tao Xiude was silent for a while, "The people around him are afraid to use it for the time being, and merchants from other places can't use it. There are still candidates for my son."

"Who?"

"Du Qingchen, Su Junxia from Pingxing County. Du Qingchen is extremely smart and quick-witted. Su Junxia is skilled in martial arts and has a lot of friends. Although they are all small people, they have their own ways, and they are also very useful at critical times."

"The two people you mentioned are somewhat familiar, have you mentioned it to me?" Tao Taishou asked.

"I mentioned it! The Chen family was destroyed by these two people. Du Qingchen used his wits and Su Junxia used his martial arts. The two joined hands, fighting with each other, and defeated the Chen family. Du Qingchen's younger brother was Du Rulin, who was ranked first in the Tongsheng examination last year. These two people don't care about fame and wealth, and they stay away from the court, so they have nothing to do with these things, so they are credible."

Tao Taishou pondered for a while, and finally said: "Since you believe it, use it."

"Yes." Tao Xiude bowed his hands and stepped back.
