The Culinary Tycoon

In late June, the snack bar was closed for ten days, and all the staff went home to harvest rice and engage in double grabbing.

Previously, the village head's family made another batch of rice beds for sale. After using the rice beds harvested in autumn last year, people discovered the benefits of the rice beds, and they were also very popular this year.

However, because the method is relatively simple, other woodworking shops have also launched it one after another before the harvest, and the overall price has dropped.The income of the village head's family is not as much as last year, but it is also very good.

Speaking of which, there are other woodworking shops selling things like baby carriages and walkers.These are not like food, the structure and method can be seen at a glance, and it is easier to copy.Including the baby tricycle and toothbrush made by the village head's family, it didn't take long for others to copy the method.

Especially after the toothbrush was launched, it has been welcomed by people, but because the price is relatively high, only wealthy families can afford it.

With a toothbrush, Yu Qingze thought that he must also have toothpaste.He later went to Dr. Li of Ji Ren Tang and mentioned the idea of ​​toothpaste to him.But Dr. Li hasn't researched the one that is particularly useful. They still use fine salt and tooth powder to brush their teeth.

What is particularly worthy of recognition is that after several months of hard work by woodworkers, the style of the toothbrush and the way to fix the bristles have been improved. It has made great progress and has become more and more advanced and scientific. At least it is not so easy to shed hair when brushing.

Because it is based in Tongshan City, an important inland transportation hub city, even if there are several woodworking shops doing it at the same time, these new products are still selling very well.Those discerning merchants are always keen to discover the business opportunities hidden in various items, and are willing to spend a lot of money to bring them to all parts of the country.

In the village, Yu Qingze and Le Geer usually go home seldom, but when they came back this time, they found that the villagers in the village had unknowingly changed.

Because they made a fortune during the Chinese New Year, most of the families asked the village chief to order rice beds for this harvest.When the millet is harvested, the millet can be threshed. After the millet is harvested, the vegetables can also be dried. When the sweet potatoes are harvested in autumn, they can be raised to dry the sweet potato flour.

Because of the foundation of making sweet potato flour, Yu Qingze taught them how to make rice noodles. Now many people who have surplus food usually make rice noodles to sell on the street. Those who don’t have surplus food, seeing that the income is good, also go to buy rice and come back. Do.

Boss Liu’s snail noodle shop orders all the rice noodles from the villagers.

After the summer vegetables began to be harvested, Yu Qingze asked Grandpa Chang to tell the villagers how to make sour beans and radishes.

Their snack bars no longer need this to make money, so they share these methods with the villagers, so that they can have one or two more ways to make money and get a little more income.Everyone's living standards have improved, and the days are more prosperous, and the mood is more comfortable. In the past, there are much less verbal disputes about "your chickens pecked my vegetables, my ducks stepped on your rice seedlings" than in previous years.

It is precisely because of these kindnesses from Yu Qingze that their family is very popular and respected in the village now. Even Chang Hao said that when he was in school, those children listened to him, and his expression was not to mention very proud.

Another good news is that after eight or nine months of research and production, Dajian has made the first foot-operated threshing machine, just in time for the summer harvest.

As soon as Yu Qingze came back, he went to the village chief's house to see it.

In the yard of the old house of the village chief, a brand new pedal threshing machine was placed in the center of the yard, and beside it were many reeds, dogtail grass, and two Guanyin grasses, all of which had lost their seeds. Become a bare rod.

Yu Qingze went up and tried it.He stepped on the pedal with his right foot, and slowly exerted force, and the roller was slowly moved by the gear.

The speed is gradually increasing, and the sound of 'buzzing' breaking wind with the rotation of the roller is so wonderful!

"It's great Dajian!" Yu Qingze came down excitedly, patted Dajian's shoulder vigorously, and said: "This year, I finally don't have to shake my arms sorely!"

Dajian rubbed the back of his head and smiled, and said with his panda eyes on his face, "I didn't expect it to be so easy to use. I tried it with reeds and dogtail grass. After two turns of the roller, the seeds on it were clean. .”

"Hahaha, it's so easy to use! Otherwise, why do I insist on asking you to do it?" Yu Qingze said with a smile.With this pedal threshing machine, their harvesting speed has increased, and they don't have to be so tired.

Turning his head, he saw a few gears and a roller rack under the eaves, and asked, "Are those scrapped?"

Dajian followed his line of sight, nodded, and said: "Those gears can't be closed, and there are some problems with the discs on both sides of the rollers. I'll take them back to the blacksmith shop some other day."

Yu Qingze let out an oh, then looked at Dajian, and asked again: "Your eyes are so dark, how long have you not slept?"

The village head next to him smiled and said: "He, he wants to prepare it before the harvest. He hasn't slept much in the past few days. He has been in this old house all the time. His husband brought the food over."

After Dajian made this threshing machine, he was always excited and didn't feel sleepy. He kept thinking about showing it to Yu Qingze. After Yu Qingze had seen it, he began to feel that his eyelids were getting heavy.He said: "I feel so sleepy now, it's okay, just make up later."

"Go to bed quickly. I'll just discuss it with your father."

"Okay, then I'm going back to the room to sleep. I didn't feel it just now, but now I'm getting more and more sleepy..." Da Jian went back to the front room.

Afterwards, Yu Qingze discussed with the village head and the others, allocated the time to use the threshing machine, and then went home cheerfully.

In the afternoon of the second day, Brother Le and the others experienced the charm of stepping on the threshing machine for the first time.

Yu Qingze demonstrated it to them first, and when he came down, the two teenagers impatiently took a hand of rice and went up, Le Ge'er was a beat slower.

"Be careful and stand still! Xiaohao Jiabao, don't step on it so fast, you will be sucked in! Don't put it in, let it go slower." Yu Qingze looked at the two teenagers from the side and was terrified.

They stepped on the pedals of the threshing machine too fast, and the rollers turned very fast. If they did not stand firmly, they would have to be led forward and fell into it as soon as the rice in their hands was put in.

"Oh!" The two lifted their feet and stopped stepping on them. They waited until the speed of the roller slowed down a little and then stepped on it slowly. They fought while stepping on it.

"It's so fast!" Jiabao flipped the rice in his hand two or three times, and picked it up again to see that all the rice on the grass had been threshed.He still remembered that his arms were swollen during the autumn harvest last year. Now this threshing machine can be turned a few times.

Chang Hao was also very excited, saying: "This threshing machine is really easy to use!"

Yu Qingze said helplessly to the two teenagers: "Xiaohao Jiabao, you two don't step on it later, when we fight, fight with us."

The two of them came down, while Brother Le and Grandpa Chang went up.

Buzzing, swishing, swishing, turning left and right a few times, the rice grains in his hand suddenly became bare grass.

"Hehehe, it's easy to use!" Grandpa Chang said with a smile.Le Geer also happily nodded in agreement.

This threshing machine also attracted the crowds of the villagers. Seeing them threshing so fast, many villagers went up to try it out, and were shocked by the machine.

Ask Yu Qingze how much this machine costs.

Yu Qingze replied: "This is the first one. The village chief and the others haven't calculated the cost yet, and haven't set a price yet, but it won't be cheap. There are a lot of irons in it, so it costs at least seven or eight taels."

So expensive!

After listening, the villagers fell silent, and silently shook their heads and went back to continue using the rice beds. Wait until the village chief and Yu Qingze finish their households, and see if they can borrow them and use them.

Because there is a foot-operated threshing machine, and the cattle of the village head's family can be borrowed to plow the field, Brother Le and the others completed the double grab earlier than other villagers.

For the rest of the time, they did all the work in the field.

Yu Qingze went to the potato field to take a look.After nearly two months of growth, the potatoes are knee-high and have begun to bloom.Small white flowers stand on the branches, swaying in the wind, which is quite beautiful.

Yu Qingze scraped through the soil and looked at the roots. He was very happy to find that the flowering potatoes had begun to grow small potatoes.

Because he didn't know how to grow potatoes, Yu Qingze couldn't come up with any effective suggestions, so he could only rely on Grandpa Chang's planting experience.

"Grandpa, I see that the potatoes are so densely branched. Do you think they should be branched like sweet potatoes?" Yu Qingze said, looking at the densely packed potato plants.

Grandpa Chang also frowned, and said, "This is the first time I've planted it, and I'm not sure. This is not a vine, so it doesn't look like it should be used. But if it grows too densely, the potatoes that grow may be smaller."

"Why don't we try, this one will be pruned, this one will not be pruned, and then we will see which one grows better?"

"Okay, try it."

So, they divided the potato field into two experimental areas, with branches on one side and no branches on the other.

After the holiday, the snack bar reopened, and Yu Qingze started to walk around the street every day to see if there was any shop vacant.

On July [-]th, Boss Liu came over, dragged Yu Qingze to the backyard, and said quietly, "I heard from a customer that the teahouse near the intersection is closed, so go and have a look!"

Yu Qingze was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Really? I'll go and have a look!"
