Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

Before leaving, Shao Qing said that he would leave Han County the day after tomorrow and return to the capital to return to his command.Du Qingchen hastily said he wanted to see him off.

"Okay! Before you leave, bring me some condiments. I see that the things you made are very novel and delicious. Bring me some!"

Du Qingchen smiled and promised that on the day of farewell, Du Qingchen even offered the hot and sour powder recipe along with the seasoning altar.

"This?" Although Shao Qing doesn't do business, he also knows that things like Fang Zi can't be passed on to outsiders casually, so he immediately refused.

Du Qingchen didn't think so. If he wanted to open up the sales of vermicelli and make vermicelli a must-have dish in every household, he had to disclose the recipes. For common vermicelli buns and vermicelli soup, ordinary people can know how to make them just by looking at them. , There is no need to deliberately spread the recipe, but the hot and sour noodles require some simple steps. He spread it to better promote the noodles. Moreover, the hot and sour noodles are easy to make. He couldn't hide it for long, and he passed the prescription out, and there was nothing serious about it.

Du Qingchen didn't explain it that way, but said with a smile: "Although my lord asked for condiments, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't do anything about it, so I wrote down the recipe and gave it to my lord. In the future, when the noodles are sold in the capital, my lord can also Ask the cook at home to buy it and make it according to the recipe."

Shao Qing sighed, "Although I asked you for the condiments, I definitely didn't intend to steal your recipe."

"I know." Du Qingchen nodded, "Your Excellency said before that you gave me the title deed just for your own comfort, so I gave it to Mr. Fang Zi to thank you for giving me the title deed. It is also for your comfort, and you don't need to care about it."

"Don't you need to make money from this?" Shao Qing asked, pinching the letter paper in his hand.

"I need it, and I don't need it. It's just a small recipe. To be honest, I have a lot of recipes in my hand, and I don't lack this one." He is planning to study how to make salt-baked chicken recently. , It's a pity that the salt here is a bit expensive, and he didn't make up his mind to do this for a while, after all, the cost would be high.

Tao Xiude nodded immediately when he heard that, "Brother Du is indeed very talented in cooking. Although his cooking skills are mediocre, the things he makes are indeed novel and interesting."

Du Qingchen turned his head silently, what is average cooking skills? !

Shao Qing smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, then I'll accept it."

Everyone said a few more words, and then they said goodbye. Shao Qing led his followers, and the two rode away.

"Oh, this great god is finally gone. I don't even dare to breathe loudly at home these days, and I'm finally healed now!" Tao Xiude relaxed instantly and said with a smile.

"Are you sure? He doesn't look scary at all!"

Du Qingchen thinks that Shao Qing is actually quite a nice person, not to mention the land deed and the fact that he promised to owe a favor, just get along with him in normal times, he thinks that a person who is willing to stay in the disaster area for a few months, eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and An official who is not bad at handling affairs can still be reasonable. Although the official authority is a bit heavy, he is a handsome young man when he takes off his official robe, and his personality is quite hearty. There is nothing to be afraid of such a person!

Tao Xiude gave Du Qingchen a blank look, "How long have you been in contact with him, how much do you know about him?"

"In those days in Yuan County, although he targeted me, he still appreciated me very much when he found out that I was indeed capable of doing things!"

"That's because you are useful." Tao Xiude said meaningfully, "Useful people are naturally considered individuals in front of him, but what about useless people? What about people who stand in the way? Didn't I tell you that he has jade in Beijing?" Face the name of Hades?"

"Well, so what? It's normal for the torture officer to have such a nickname!" Du Qingchen was puzzled, and he didn't think Shao Qing looked so cruel.

"Last year, the enemy's spies were caught in Beijing. Everyone said that they should have the style of a big country. They returned the people to the enemy and asked them to redeem them with money and food. Shao Qing wrote a letter and beheaded the violent corpse as a deterrent. March is not over yet, passers-by hide their faces and walk around the road."

Du Qingchen was stunned.

"This year, a minister was corrupted and fell into Shao Qing's hands. At that time, someone in the court protected him and did not allow the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate him without permission. I beg you to be happy, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"He placed nail boards on the bottom of the cage, so that the prisoners had nowhere to set their feet. The railings of the cage were smeared with lard, making them slippery. Hanging on the railings smeared with lard, but can you catch it?" Tao Xiude rolled his eyes.

Du Qingchen was speechless.

"Anyway, staying under the same roof with this kind of person makes it hard to breathe. Now, I'm finally at ease!" Tao Xiude took a deep breath, stretched his waist, and felt that the world was vast, I'm free, and I don't need to be unconsciously nervous when I see Shao Qing's face is not good. No matter how cruel Shao Qing is, he won't be cruel to him, but man!Facing this kind of plague all day long, I will always be more vigilant in my heart.

"Then how did he become an imperial envoy? I've always found it strange that he is obviously an official of the Ministry of Punishment, so why did he come out to provide disaster relief?"

"For those who are excluded, others don't like him to continue to be an official in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but his family background is too good, even if he is excluded, there is no way to deal with him. We can only settle for the next best thing and find a way to transfer him from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. By the way Throw it out for disaster relief."

"The fifth prince doesn't care?" Didn't it mean that Shao Qing is the younger brother of his concubine?

"Take care of it!" Tao Xiude looked at the sky silently, "That's why he was sent here." The fifth prince probably felt that at least his father was taking care of him here, and that although his father's official position was not low, his foundation was not deep. Shao Qing really did something that shouldn't be done, and his father ended it. Who would have thought that he was almost caught in the pot.

"In short, you should be more vigilant in the future! Don't just think about playing with him. This person usually looks like a dog, but in fact, he has a perverted personality and a brutal nature. It's okay to avoid him! "Tao Xiude enjoined.

Du Qingchen's eyes suddenly turned to Tao Xiude's back, with a look of surprise on his face, "Master Shao, why are you back? But what happened?!"

"Oh!" Tao Xiude was startled, and immediately turned around, only to see that there was no one behind him, and the cold sweat that had just broken out from the fright was quickly dried up by the breeze.Tao Xiude gritted his teeth, and jumped out word by word, "Du! Qing! Chen!"

"One serving of hot and sour powder recipe, don't blame me, just kidding." Du Qingchen apologized with a smile.

"Hmph!" Tao Xiude snorted coldly.

A few months later, Du Qingchen's vermicelli business was also on the right track. All the raw materials were bought by Su Junxia from other places, which were a little cheaper than the local ones. Du Rulin was also approaching the exam. , Tao Xiude didn't go out to hang out anymore, he was presumably concentrating on preparing for the exam at home.

These days, the Du family and the Su family almost dare not even walk loudly, for fear of disturbing Du Rulin, Liu Tai, Qiu Youqiu Jin and others who are reviewing at home, Su Junxia sneaked over and whispered to Du Qingchen: "Go out Go shopping?"

The house was so boring that he didn't even dare to speak out loud. Mrs. Liu would write and draw on a small blackboard made by Du Qingchen every day in the yard of his house, and the other students would honestly move He sat down on a small bench and listened to the lecture, but he couldn't understand it. Even in the house, he was lulled to sleep by the sound of explanations in the yard, but Yang Liu obviously didn't understand much, but he was happy to go Qianqian was at a naughty age, but he could move a stool and listen to Master Liu's lectures honestly.

What can he understand!There are not many big characters yet!Su Junxia couldn't understand anyway.Seeing this scene, Su Amo and Luo Qing at home were very relieved, and even felt that the family was full of bookishness. Su Amo watched her grandson study so hard, and sat on the steps of the door with a smile every day. Sewing while looking at Yang Liu with a smile, Luo Qing was busy serving tea and cooking, very diligent.It seems that Su Junxia is alone, looking out of place and doing nothing.

Du Qingchen also knew about Su Junxia's situation. These days, his family was also in the same situation. Although the Du family did not have Master Liu to give lectures, they still had to provide Du Rulin with a quiet environment for preparing for the exam. In addition, Su Dong had been a little lethargic recently, and the house was quiet and no one came out. Voice.

Hearing this, Du Qingchen nodded, "Let's go out together! Go see the vermicelli factory."

With Tao Taishou's order, Du Qingchen dared to build a factory with great fanfare and make vermicelli, but he also hired guards to ensure that outsiders could not pry into the secrets inside.

When Su Junxia heard this, he nodded happily, "All right, all right, go anywhere, let's go for a walk!" Su Junxia got up first, and walked towards the door, Du Qingchen followed.

"How's the business in the capital?" Du Qingchen chased after Su Junxia and asked.

"It's pretty good! Whether it's white sugar or vermicelli, they're all selling very quickly. The rich families in the capital especially like to eat this. I don't know why. I heard that it's a trend that spread from above, oh." , By the way, there is also your hot and sour powder, which is also spread in the capital. At first, it was only made by big families. Later, even small households knew how to make it. , and therefore sold very quickly." Su Junxia laughed.

Du Qingchen nodded, "That's good."

"However, your hot and sour noodles taste too strong. I heard that many old women and elders don't like to eat this, and children can't eat it. Now there are fresh recipes in the capital, including fried, cold, and various boiled dishes. Fen’er’s method, last time I went to your shop in the capital to check the accounts, and after finishing the work, I went to the restaurant to taste their new recipes. Seriously, it’s no worse than yours. Some of them still contain Meat slices!"

Du Qingchen nodded and said with a smile, "If I have a chance, I'll try it too." Speaking of this, Du Qingchen's expression changed, and he pulled Su Junxia, ​​"Can you touch the snail?"

"Ah? Which one are you looking for? Are you short of food?" Su Junxia was puzzled. In their impression, only poor families in the countryside would go down the river to find these things to eat when they really had nothing to eat. It is full of food and warm clothes, who has nothing to touch it!If you have time to catch fish, you will have more meat than that.

"Then don't worry about it, get some for me, and I'll ask you to be a fan." Du Qingchen smiled.

Su Junxia agreed, anyway, the snails are not bad, so Du Qingchen should be able to cook well!

The street seemed to be very lively today. Many scholars ran out and gathered on the street in twos and threes, not knowing what to do. Su Junxia asked curiously, "What's the matter? The exam is about to take place. These people don't need to Are you preparing for the exam?"

Du Qingchen didn't understand either, Su Junxia had already found a reason for himself, "Oh, these people must have not passed the Tongsheng exam, so they are so leisurely!"

Tong students who didn’t pass the exam naturally don’t need to take the scholar exam, and if they are not scholars, they naturally don’t need to take the Juren exam, but they are already juren. Now most of them are gathered in the capital, and they are directly preparing for the exam in places with famous teachers such as Guozijian. In his hometown, what Su Junxia said was polite, but can he say it directly in front of so many people!

Everyone turned their heads and stared angrily, probably because of the reservedness of scholars, they didn't come forward to curse, and Su Junxia's appearance was still very intimidating, so no one bothered them.

Du Qingchen pulled Su Junxia's shirt, "Don't talk nonsense!" He will be beaten by the gang.

Su Junxia noticed the gazes of others, and also realized that what he said just now was awkward, so he restrained himself a little.

"I heard that Min Anshi entered the city today, so all the scholars in the city came to welcome him. I didn't expect it to be so lively." Someone beside him said.

"Who is Min Anshi?"

"I am a celebrity in the literary world! I have also published imperial examination questions to select talents for the country. I heard that this time I am retiring from my old age and returning to my hometown. Speaking of which, we Tao Taishou are still his disciples!"

Du Qingchen's heart sank slightly. He vaguely remembered that Taishou Tao was a teacher, and his teacher was a disciple of the fifth prince, so he naturally entered the camp of the fifth prince.Originally from a poor background, everything depended on himself. Now, even the teacher has retired and returned to his hometown, far away from the court, and Tao Taishou is really helpless.

"Boss Du, have you heard of this person's name?" Su Junxia turned around and asked Du Qingchen suspiciously.

"No." Du Qingchen shook his head, ready to leave with Su Junxia, ​​he would not join in the excitement here.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard someone running over from the gate of the city, shouting, "Here we come."

Du Qingchen stopped, and the crowd rushed towards the gate of the city. Du Qingchen was surrounded by the crowd and also headed towards the gate. Seeing that Du Qingchen was pushed away by the crowd, Su Junxia quickly followed.

"Boss Du!"

"It's okay." When the crowd stopped, Du Qingchen straightened his clothes and stood firm.

At the city gate, Tao Taishou came in first on a horse, followed by Tao Xiude, and behind him was a carriage with an extremely simple frame, perhaps even cruder than the carriage they drove into the city Some, but it is precisely this that makes it appear that Min Anshi is poor and happy, and has the legacy of ancient sages.The curtain of the car was lifted, and there was an old man sitting in the car. His beard and hair were all white, but he was elegant and kind. He smiled and looked at the scholars who flocked to the side of the road.

The crowd was blocked by the servants of the Tao Mansion who opened the way, and no one could get close to the frame. Min Anshi waved his hand to signal the crowd to leave, but no one returned. Behind the carriage, there were vehicles full of books, which attracted everyone's admiration, "Min Anshi This time, when I return to my hometown to settle down, my Han County’s style of writing will definitely take on a new look, with so many books, I am worthy of being a celebrity!”

Yeah?Du Qingchen was taken aback, thinking of Du Rulin again, he didn't know what this Mingshi Min planned to do with the batch of books, if he just kept the books in his own home, then naturally there was nothing he could do, if he could allow other students to visit and study, or borrow books, then It couldn't be better, but this kind of thing can only depend on his own plan, and others can't help it, so Du Qingchen stopped thinking about it and watched the motorcade head towards Tao's mansion.
