The Culinary Tycoon

As expected, Boss Qin emptied the shop on time.

On the morning when he got the shop, Yu Qingze took Brother Le to see the new shop.

The area of ​​the single floor of the new shop is about the same as the area of ​​the snack bar now, and the second floor was divided into private rooms when it was used as a teahouse.

Because Yu Qingze said that he was going to redecorate, Boss Qin emptied out the original elegant partitions, and now the entire second floor is completely empty just like the first floor.

"Brother Le, look, I think the first floor is like a snack bar, with scattered tables, and on the second floor, a few private rooms. Oh, the private rooms are private rooms. At that time, when others have some business or business talks, just There is a more secret space. What do you think?" Yu Qingze took Le Geer's hand, and told Le Geer his idea in the empty hall on the second floor.

Le Geer looked at the spacious space and gestured: "If you can't make a few private rooms, will it be uneconomical?"

"Don't worry, the private room will never make less money. Think about it, who usually uses the private room?" Yu Qingze guided Brother Le to think.

Le Geer thought for a while, and gestured: People from rich families don't like to sit in the lobby with others; those who talk about business; and some who treat guests to dinner?

Yu Qingze nodded, scratched Brother Le's nose, and said with a smile: "My husband is really getting smarter and smarter!"

Le Geer raised his lips and smiled.He likes that Yu Qingze praises him so much.

Because of his limited knowledge, Le Geer is already working hard to keep up with Yu Qingze.He followed Yu Qingze to learn arithmetic and literacy, and learned his angle and way of thinking about problems, and how to deal with them.

Moreover, Yu Qingze would discuss with him every time about the business of the store.He also felt that Yu Qingze was teaching himself on purpose.

This made Le Geer very happy.He is willing to learn and wants to learn.

He wanted to get closer to his husband step by step, and hoped that when he came up with some fresh ideas, he could immediately understand his intentions.Instead, chickens talk to ducks, and cows play the piano.

He wanted to have a tacit understanding with her husband.

From the food stall to the snack bar, in the whole year, Le Geer himself felt that he was quite different from before, his vision was broadened, and his mind became more flexible. Yu Qingze would also adopt some of the occasional suggestions now .This made him very happy, and he was more active in thinking about the store.

"So you see, those from rich families, those who are in business, and those who have money to entertain guests, do these guests all want to have an independent space?" Yu Qingze said again.

Brother Le nodded. If he wanted to discuss business with others, he definitely didn't want others to listen to him.

Yu Qingze continued to explain the truth to Brother Le: "Besides, these people are more willing to spend money. You see, if we go to eat by ourselves, the two of us may order two, three, thirty, thirty, forty The food might be fine."

"But these people, rich and rich, will have higher requirements for food, and the food is exquisite, so they are willing to try more exotic dishes. And those who talk about business and entertain guests have to fill the scene, so they may order Eighty or ninety Wen, hundreds of Wen or even two hundred Wen for a dish. Calculated in this way, the price of one dish alone may be equivalent to the price of a table at an ordinary table on the first floor, don’t you think?”

When Brother Le heard it, he suddenly realized that he could still think so.

He immediately gestured and said: I understand!

Seeing that Brother Le understood, Yu Qingze smiled and said: "So, private room is a must!"

Brother Le nodded and agreed very much.

Afterwards, Yu Qingze walked around the hall, gestured, and said: "Put a large table for ten to 12 people in the elegant room, and a small table for four to six people in the small elegant room. If you design it well, you can probably make four tables." One large elegant room, two small elegant rooms, and a resting place in the middle."

The two watched it all morning and discussed it for a long time.Yu Qingze took out the little notebook that he kept when he opened the snack bar, wrote down everything, and then prepared one by one.

Decorating the store, ordering tables and chairs, recruiting, training and arranging personnel, formulating menus and prices, etc., there are many things to do.

This time, Yu Qingze didn't work alone, he brought Brother Le with him.In the snack bar, after more than two months of practice, Tie Zhu and Er Niu have been able to cooperate with Brother Chang to get things done in the kitchen, and Brother Le can be free.

A few days later, the two of them had just returned to the snack bar from outside. Brother Chang said that Dahe was back and brought back several boxes of things.

When Yu Qingze heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to the backyard to look. He only saw a dozen boxes piled up under the eaves of the backyard, but he didn't see the big river.

He ran back to the lobby and asked Brother Chang: "Where is Dahe? Why is there no one there?"

Brother Chang was still talking to Brother Le, turned his head and replied: "He said that there are still things that have not been moved, so he went to move them."

Yu Qingze returned to the backyard and kept wandering around those boxes. He really wanted to open them and see what was inside.But Dahe didn't come back, so he just opened the box like that, really anxious.

Turning around, he suddenly smelled a special smell, which was stinky, and it felt like the rotten smell of rotten green onions.

Could it be... durian?Yu Qingze leaned closer to the box to smell it again, and the bottom box did smell of durian.

Yu Qingze was pleasantly surprised: ...he actually brought back durians!

After a quarter of an hour, Da He came back with a box on his shoulder and a sack in his hand. What was in it didn't look very heavy.

"Dahe! You're back! Hurry up, drink some water, and tell me what you brought back?" Yu Qingze saw Dahe, and quickly helped him unload the box on his shoulders, which was quite heavy.

"Brother Yu, Brother Le." Da He put down the sack and yelled, then took the water that Brother Le brought over, and drank it.

After drinking, Dahe unwrapped the rope from the box and said: "This time I went to the south, I brought back several kinds of things, two of which are fruits, and one is vegetables. I also brought three kinds of vegetable seeds. "

Yu Qingze also helped to start dismantling it.

"I brought all these ten boxes for me? Did you buy them yourself?" Yu Qingze asked.

Da He nodded, pointed to the two boxes on the far side, and said, "I brought two boxes."

"Did you go far this time? It took a long time."

"The previous one was farther away. It was because the boss got sick after arriving there and was delayed there for ten days. So it took me a long time to find things before I found them."

"I see."

"This is similar to a wax gourd, but much smaller. The locals call it a small winter melon. I don't think we have any here. The locals said it would last for a long time, so I brought it back." Dahe opened a box on his side, Lying in the dry straw is a whole box of small dark green winter melons.

It's zucchini.Yu Qingze opened a box of zucchini on his side. He nodded and said, "This can be stored for a long time, and it should be easy to grow."

The two continued to disassemble.

As soon as he opened the box in front of him, Yu Qingze smelled a faint fragrance. Inside the straw package was a box full of fist-sized guavas.Some are still green, and some have turned yellow-green due to being overcooked for too long.

"This is called chicken droppings fruit. The locals say it can be stored for a month. It was still raw when it was picked. It may take too long to bring it back, and it has become like this." Dahe explained on the side.

"Chicken droppings are so unpleasant." Yu Qingze smiled, picked up a guava that had turned pale yellow and smelled it, not to mention, it really smelled like chicken droppings.He turned his head and called Brother Le: "Brother Le, bring over two baskets, pick out the ripe ones and put them away."

Le Geer heard the words and went to get it.

Da He laughed and said, "Because some locals think it tastes like chicken droppings."

When Brother Le came over, Yu Qingze asked him to pick out all the guavas inside.

Guava also has two boxes.

The remaining four boxes were much larger, and when they were opened, Yu Qingze's eyes lit up.

It really is durian!

The moment the box was opened, the strong smell unique to durian wafted away.

Le Geer was very sensitive to the smell and immediately covered his nose.

"This is called, what is it called?" Da He frowned and thought.

"...Durian." Yu Qingze added with bright eyes.

"That's right! That's the name! It smells stinky, but it tastes delicious." Dahe looked at the yellowed durians in the box and said, "It was still very green when I picked it, but now it's so yellow. , will it be broken?"

"It's not very forbidden. Let's try it and we'll know." Yu Qingze went into the kitchen to get a knife, then took out a wooden board to use as a cushion, picked up an open durian, and opened it.

After opening it, the smell became even stronger, and Brother Le directly ran to the kitchen pinching his nose.

Yu Qingze picked it up and sniffed it, and said pleasantly: "It's not broken, I guess I just opened my mouth. But you have to eat it quickly, or it will go bad after two days!"

Yu Qingze went to the kitchen, saw Brother Le, smiled and said: "That food is delicious, go out and try it?"

Le Geer shook his head frantically.His nose was super sensitive, especially to smells, which were so foul they wafted into the kitchen.

"Well, what's the smell? It stinks, Brother Le, did we spoil something?" Brother Chang suddenly turned around and said.

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Uncle, no, it's a kind of fruit brought back by Dahe, come out and eat it, it's delicious."

Brother Chang asked suspiciously: "Aren't all fruits fragrant, and there are also stinky fruits?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "It just smells bad, you'll know when you come out to eat."

"Really? I'll go and have a look." Brother Chang went to the backyard out of curiosity.

Yu Qingze said to Brother Le again: "You don't believe me?" He looked a little aggrieved.

Le Geer: ...

"Did the snail noodles taste good last time?" Yu Qingze asked.

Le Geer nodded embarrassedly.

Yu Qingze stopped talking, and Brother Chao Le stretched out his hand silently.

Brother Le looked at him, and after a while, he still put his hand into Yu Qingze's.

Outside, Dahe and Brother Chang had each taken a piece and started eating.

"How is it, uncle?" Yu Qingze asked with a smile.

Brother Chang frowned and said: "It really doesn't smell bad, it's the taste, I don't know how to say it, like rotten pumpkin?"

Dahe laughed and said, "Lots of locals say the same thing. If there is something they like to eat, they think it is very delicious, such as me."

Brother Chang laughed and said, "Everyone has different tastes."

Yu Qingze took Brother Le to wash his hands, then took a piece out of the shell and handed it to Brother Le.

Brother Le mustered up his courage, took it, and took a bite with his eyes closed.

The taste is soft and smooth, sweet, melts in the mouth, and has a special fragrance.

Yu Qingze has been observing Brother Le's expression, and seeing him take a bite, he immediately opened his eyes, looking curiously at the yellow flesh in his hand, his big eyes were full of shock.

"Delicious, right?"

Brother Le nodded, and gestured with one hand: "Sweet and sweet."

"I knew you would like it!" Although I don't believe me every time, Le Geer's taste is very similar to mine!Yu Qingze thought.

Brother Le took another piece after eating one piece.

Yu Qingze told him: "You can only eat two yuan at most. If you eat too much, you will get angry."

Brother Le nodded upon hearing this.

This durian is quite big and has a lot of meat inside. It actually has five petals.Several people finished eating.

Although there are four boxes of durians, because of their large size, only eight or nine durians are packed in one box, which is really not much.

Of Dahe's own two boxes, one is guava and the other is durian.

After Dahe finished eating the durian and washed his hands, he saw the sack next to him, picked it up and said to Yu Qingze, "Brother Yu, this thing is for you to repel mosquitoes, summer is coming, put this in the room, and there will be fewer mosquitos. "

"What? Mosquito repellent?" Yu Qingze asked curiously.

"No." Dahe opened the sack, revealed a large potted plant inside, and said, "Tomato."

It was a potted plant with many round blue and red fruits hanging from the green branches and leaves.

Yu Qingze: ...tomatoes!
