The Culinary Tycoon

"Hey, the young man is back? Why are you going out so late?" Wen Li greeted Yu Qingze enthusiastically with a smile on her face and asked secretly.

The little brother behind him poked his head out, and when he saw Yu Qingze, he hid back again.

Yu Qingze: ...

"Uncle." Yu Qingze nodded and yelled, glanced at Chang Le and the others, and found that their expressions were not very good, so he said calmly: "Go for a walk and digest food."

"Oh, digestion is good." Wen Li waited for Yu Qingze to enter the main room, approached him, and asked, "Where are you from, young man? How old are you this year? Are you married? What relatives do you have at home? How did you come to Niutou Village?" It's..."

The little brother beside him also secretly raised his eyes to look at Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze was dizzy from this series of questions, and quickly reached out to stop Wen Li, and said sadly: "Uncle, I am already 28 this year, and my home is in the north. I lost all my luggage on the way here, and now I have no money and don't know how to pick it up." How are you going to live the rest of your life?"

"Oh...that's it." Hearing Yu Qingze say that she is penniless now and she is still so old, Wen Li suddenly lost interest, and the smile on her face faded a lot.

Then, he turned around and said to Grandpa Chang and Chang Le: "Father, Brother Le, you should think about it again. They are very satisfied with Brother Le over there. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Also, This is a gift from over there today."

Wen Li took out a small wooden box from her arms and put it on the table, opened it, and inside was a silver bracelet wrapped in flannelette.

"Look, the pattern on this is so pretty, it matches our brother Le very well. Brother Le, come on, try it on." Wen Li picked up the silver bracelet, and took Chang Le's hand with the other hand to put it on. Put it on his hand.

Chang Le quickly broke free, took a step back, and waved at Wen Li.

"Oh, you child, you are still shy, you always want to get married..."

Grandpa Chang glared at Wen Li, and said, "Marry for what! Didn't Xiaole say no to her promise? If you want to do these messy things again, believe it or not, I'll break your leg!" After saying that, Grandpa Chang went to Look for a pole in the corner.

Chang Le and Chang Hao didn't move, and Yu Qingze quickly stepped aside.

"Hey, Dad, what are you doing? I'm also doing it for the good of Brother Le. He is so old, so he has to marry... Hey, don't fight, don't fight, I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."

Wen Li ran out while yelling, the little brother saw her, and hurriedly ran after her, turning her head to look at Yu Qingze again on the way.

"Wait!" Grandpa Chang shouted.

Wen Li thought that the old man had changed his mind, so she turned around happily.

"Take the things away!" Grandpa Chang pointed to the empty box on the table.

Wen Li quickly ran back to take the box away, and mumbled as she left, "Father, don't be so stubborn..."

Wen Li was about to say more, but Grandpa Chang raised the pole in his hand, and he ran away in a hurry.

When Wen Li and the others left the courtyard, Chang Le stepped forward to take the pole from Grandpa Chang's hand and put it back in the corner.

Grandpa Chang sighed, turned to Yu Qingze and said, "I'll show you a joke."

Yu Qingze shook his head, did not answer, and did not know how to answer.Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it is not for him to inquire about or intervene in this matter.

"By the way, have you asked the village head about the household registration? What did he say?" Grandpa Chang asked.

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "It's not easy to handle. It is said that if you buy an acre of land in the village, you can report it for processing. However, an acre of land needs 50 taels, so you have to make money first."

Hearing this, Grandpa Chang sighed and comforted him: "Take your time, there is always a way. If it doesn't work, go to a remote place, where the fields are not so expensive."

Yu Qingze nodded, turned around and handed the two wooden planks in his hand to Changle Changhao, who asked the village chief to make them with some scraps.

"What is this?" Chang Hao asked after taking the board.The wooden board in my hand is about one foot wide and two feet long, with small wooden strips nailed around it.

Yu Qingze replied: "For you to write."

Hearing that they were writing for them, Chang Le and Chang Hao instantly shifted their attention, looked at the wooden board, a little suspicious, writing on it could not be wiped off, and it was useless after writing, so what did they do with four small wooden strips to frame it? oh.

How could Yu Qingze not know what they were thinking, he smiled and said: "I don't ask you to use firewood to write, but to fill it with sand or soil, and then you can smooth it out and continue writing."

After speaking, Yu Qingze added, "It is best to use fine sand, which is convenient and clean."

The two brothers suddenly realized.Chang Hao happily said to Chang Le: "Brother, let's go to the river and bring some sand back at noon tomorrow!"

Not far in front of the village is a big river called Qinghe, which flows from west to east and leads to the sea. It is also an important river that divides the north and south of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Chang Le's face was full of smiles, and he nodded in agreement.

Then when he got up early the next morning, Chang Hao saw that there was already a pool of sand in the yard drying in the sun, it was still wet, obviously he had just brought it back.

When he returned home at noon, the sand had dried up. Chang Hao couldn't wait to take out two wooden trays, spread the sand into the wooden trays, and then wrote the characters he had learned in the past two days with his fingers——Chang Hao, his name.

"Brother Yu, look quickly, I can write my name!" Chang Hao brought the wooden tray in front of Yu Qingze who was picking vegetables, and asked, "Do you think I wrote it right?"

"Let me take a look." Yu Qingze took a look. The young boy's handwriting was still a little scattered and the shape was not very good-looking, but it was indeed correct, so he stretched out his thumb and praised him, "That's right, great!"

In the past two days, when they had free time, the two brothers wrote and drew on the ground, and Yu Qingze knew that they had already learned it.

Chang Hao raised his head happily, and asked, "My brother will do it too. Can you teach us new words that night? My brother's name?"

Yu Qingze: "Yes."

After dinner, Chang Hao happily ran towards Yu Qingze with a wooden board and a firewood head.Yu Qingze picked up the pen, oh no, when he picked up the firewood head and was about to write, he suddenly thought that 'Le' has traditional characters, unlike 'Chang' and 'Hao', the traditional and simplified characters are the same.

He couldn't do it anymore.After struggling for a second, he turned his head to look at Chang Hao's expectant eyes, and asked, "Why don't we learn Grandpa's name first, and when I come back from work, I'll teach your brother's name?"

Chang Hao thought for a while, he also needs to learn his grandfather's name, and said, "Okay. Then I can learn three characters today!"

Grandpa Chang's name is 'Chang Dashan', which is a combination of simplified and traditional, which is very suitable for teaching.

Yu Qingze happily wrote the word 'Dashan' and the order of strokes on the wooden board.

"Grandpa's name has so few strokes?" Chang Hao was very surprised, "Dashan" is only six strokes together.

Yu Qingze smiled, "Yes, because these two characters are pictographs, how do you usually make gestures when things are big?"

"That's it." Chang Hao opened his arms and made a big movement.

Yu Qingze said: "Look, if you straighten your arms and open your feet a little, it looks like the word 'big'?"

Chang Hao opened his feet a little, looked at his body, and then at the word 'big' on the wooden board, he was shocked, "It's the same!"

Just at this time, Da Jian came to call Yu Qingze.

"Write well, I'm going out." Yu Qingze smiled and patted the little boy's head, and went out.

The village head had already invited Master Xiucai, and he was drinking tea in the main room at this time. The village head asked the rest of the family to go to the old house or the kitchen first.

This is the first time for Yu Qingze to meet Yu Jiayao, a scholar master.

He has a gentle appearance, a thin body, and a much fairer complexion than other villagers, but because of the recent busy farming season, he can see the lingering fatigue on his face. Even so, the unique elegance of a scholar is still there. It can be clearly felt at a glance.

The village chief introduced the two of them.

Yu Qingze cupped his hands politely and said, "I've seen Master Xiucai."

Yu Xiucai nodded lightly and didn't say much.

The three sat down.

At this time, Yu Xiucai put the tea in hand aside, then took out his four treasures of the study from the box beside him and put them on the table one by one, while grinding ink, he said: "Village chief, little brother, you will agree Tell me the specific content first, explain clearly one by one, and then I will write it out for you.”

When the village chief went to invite someone, he briefly told Yu Xiucai about the matter.Therefore, the village head mainly explained, Yu Qingze added from the side, Yu Xiucai asked from time to time, and in the end it took about an hour to write the cooperation contract in duplicate.

The two of them saw that there was no problem, and they each signed their names and pressed their fingerprints to reach a cooperation.

After finishing, Yu Qingze embarrassedly asked Yu Xiucai to write him the word "乐", and also asked him to write a poem commonly used here for enlightenment education.

Yu Xiucai looked at him curiously.

Yu Qingze explained that it was for Chang Le and Chang Hao to read and write, but his own level was limited and he hoped he would agree.

Hearing this, Yu Xiucai thought of the figure outside the school who was always probing his head, didn't ask any more questions, and wrote a poem with a brush.

Yu Qingze picked it up and looked at it, embarrassing, "Ode to the Goose".

It is indeed very suitable for enlightenment education, no problem.I just don’t know if the person who wrote this poem in this other world is also named King Luo Bin?

With a contract and a 'textbook', Yu Qingze returned home full of confidence.

With these two things, you can use it for a while, not only for teaching Chang Le Chang Hao, but also for self-study!

When are you going to the county seat, and then go to the bookstore to buy a book and come back to study by yourself!For Chef Yu who has the basics, traditional Chinese characters are not easy to grasp!

Imagination is always full, but reality is skinny.

You can recognize things like traditional characters just by looking at them, but if you don’t write them down several times and memorize them, your eyes will always recognize them, but your hands will not.

In short, Yu Qingze happily went home and taught the two brothers Chang Le's name, and the three of them were very happy and satisfied.

After another two days, Yu Qingze's foot injury healed, and finally he didn't need to rely on his 'third leg', which was very light.

In the past two days, the rice in the remaining two fields of Chang Le's family has been harvested, and only rice transplanting is left. However, Grandpa Chang fell ill.

At first, I lost my appetite and always had to drink water. Later, I became dizzy, weak and weak, and my face became pale.

"Grandpa, why don't you eat it? This capers are really appetizing." At noon that day, Chang Hao saw that his grandfather had only drank half a bowl of porridge before putting down the bowl and chopsticks, so he asked.

At noon yesterday, Yu Qingze saw that the capers were ready to eat, so he fried a bowl, which was warmly welcomed by them.

Although Yu Qingze's dishes were delicious, the hot summer weather was sweltering, and they were tired continuously, so their appetites also dropped a bit.It just so happened that the capers were marinated. This appetizer whetted their appetites.

But Grandpa Chang still hasn't recovered his appetite since this morning.

Chang Le also put down the bowls and chopsticks worriedly, and gestured to ask Grandpa if he felt uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, but the weather is too hot, I don't have much appetite, bitter summer, didn't it happen in previous years, don't worry." Grandpa Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

Yu Qingze felt that something was wrong with Grandpa Chang's appearance, he seemed to have a heat stroke, so he asked Grandpa Chang about some symptoms, and got a positive answer.Yu Qingze immediately said to Chang Le: "Grandpa's situation is not right, he seems to have suffered from heat stroke, I have to ask the doctor to come and see."

Hearing this, Chang Le nodded and gestured for Chang Hao to invite him.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm fine. You don't need to call a doctor. Xiaohao, come back..."

Chang Hao ran fast with his short legs, and disappeared outside the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Yu Qingze asked Chang Le to spread the mat, and let Grandpa Chang lie on the ground, while he went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of cold water and came back, and asked Chang Le to use a damp cloth to wipe Grandpa Chang's sweat to cool down.

Then, he returned to the kitchen and made a glass of light salt water for Grandpa Chang to drink.

Seeing the two of them busy, Grandpa Chang comforted them that he was fine.

When the doctor came, he checked his pulse and said, "He's suffering from heat stroke. Your treatment method is very good. I'll prescribe medicine for him, and he needs to rest more. Uncle is getting old, and it's so hot outside, so he can't go there anymore." The fields are dry."

Chang Le nodded hurriedly, he didn't dare to let Grandpa go out to dry again.

The doctor prescribed the prescription, and then asked: "Do you have mung beans at home? If you have any, decoct them with honeysuckle and give them to my uncle to cool off the heat."

Chang Le shook his head, and then said that he would go out to buy right away.

The doctor left, Chang Hao followed to get the medicine, and Chang Le immediately set off to buy mung beans in the city.Yu Qingze and Chang Hao decocted medicine for Grandpa Chang at home and looked after the patients.

It wasn't until evening that Grandpa Chang got better, and looked more energetic.

At night, when Grandpa Chang fell asleep, Chang Le thanked Yu Qingze seriously.If Yu Qingze hadn't discovered that Grandpa was wrong in time, he wouldn't have known that Grandpa had been holding on for so long.

For the next two days, Chang Le only asked Grandpa Chang to go to the fields in the morning and evening when the sun was not so strong. When he saw the sun was high, he hurriedly drove Grandpa home.

Grandpa Chang was both angry and funny, and he couldn't bear to scold his beloved grandson, so he had no choice but to go home.

Fortunately, there were only two fields left to transplant rice seedlings, and with Yu Qingze's help, it was successfully completed in two days.

"Finally I'm done! I'm exhausted!" Chang Hao's young man looked up to the sky and yelled out all the hardships he had accumulated during the past few days.

At this time, it was dark.

Yu Qingze and Chang Le couldn't help laughing seeing him like that.

It was indeed tiring. Yu Qingze considered himself to be physically strong, but under such intense labor, he also felt exhausted.He also rested because of his foot injury, but Chang Le and the others have been busy all the time, so it's no wonder Chang Hao made such a howl.

The next day, everyone had a good night's sleep, allowing their exhausted bodies to relax and recover. Even Chang Le, who always woke up early, was half an hour later than usual.

After breakfast, Yu Qingze said to Chang Le: "Brother Le, I want to visit the city tomorrow, can you take me there?"

Chang Le nodded, indicating that he would also go to the city to sell vegetables tomorrow.

Yu Qingze happily said: "That's great." I have to take a good look at the county and investigate what kind of business is good.

"I'm going too." The young Chang Hao called out, and then asked his brother: "Brother, are you going fishing this afternoon?"

Chang Le nodded.Every time he goes to sell vegetables, he will go to the river to catch some fish and sell them together.

fishing?Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows, as if it was interesting.

The author has something to say: Let me explain, regarding the issue that some little fairies feel that the price of 50 taels per mu of good land is high, this is related to the background setting of the article.

Reasons: 15. In the text, although the Dasheng Dynasty was only [-] years after the founding of the country after wars, most of the wars occurred in the north and had less impact on the south. Grandpa Chang said a little bit earlier when he said they moved.Moreover, when the war broke out, their county magistrate at that time was very smart to stop all the river boats heading north, which also reduced the impact of Tongshan City during the war. _(:з」∠)_I've already spoiled it, I'll go...

[-]. There is a river called Qinghe in the middle of the north and south, which is the river near Niutou Village. Their county town, Tongshan City, is in a very favorable geographical location and is relatively prosperous. I will talk about it in the chapter the day after tomorrow.Niutou Village has mountains and water, convenient irrigation, relatively fertile fields, and it is only twelve or three miles away from the county seat. Fields will be more expensive, and fields further away will definitely not be so expensive.

Third, there is another factor, which is the government issue.It's hard to say too much about this, because there is a plot behind it.

Then, some people may say, since their fields are so expensive, why I said in the previous article that the usual monetary rewards Chang Le received can cover their expenses for more than half a year.This is because they grow their own food and vegetables, and they don’t need to spend extra money. They also rely on rivers and mountains. If they want to eat meat, they can go fishing in the river or go to the mountains to catch some pheasants and birds. It doesn't cost much to live.However, ordinary farmers may only spend some money to buy some cloth to make clothes during the Chinese New Year.And they are more frugal.Of course, in addition to the money for medical treatment, this is extra.

That’s about it, I’ll only explain this once, and if someone asks this question again, I won’t answer it…

Since I wrote the article, of course I have checked a lot of information, but if there are logical issues and historical issues that will conflict with the plot, I will give priority to the plot. Probably like this, if there is a little fairy who cannot accept it, then we can only read the next book and see you again. Or, cherish each other? (laughing and crying)

Thanks to the little fairy who raised the question, I will accept reasonable suggestions, if there is conflict with my setting or the subsequent plot, if it cannot be reconciled, then I will stick to my own ideas...
