The Culinary Tycoon

Xue Baishu returned to the backyard with the snacks and saw his grandmother digging in the small garden in the backyard again. He quickly put the snacks on the stone table, walked over and snatched the small garden hoe from his grandmother's hand, and said: " Ah, Dad asked you to rest, and you ran to dig the ground while Dad was out. Sit down and rest."

"Hey, it's okay, I just dug for a while. I've been lying down for a long time, and I have to come out to move around. This man, if you don't move around, the more you lie down, the more depressed you become." Ye Man stood up, clapped his hands, and let his son Help him to sit down at the stone table.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his face was very pale, his lips were also very pale, and he looked sickly and pale.

"Just digging for a while, you are already sweating. You want to grow medicinal materials, and my son will plant them for you, so you can rest well, huh? After decades of hard work, your father said that you are overworked. Come back to Tongshan. I just want you to take a good rest, but you are fine, and you can’t be free.” Xue Baishu asked the servant to bring water to wash his hands, and he took a cloth towel to wipe the sweat from his grandma’s forehead.

Ye Man took the cloth towel, wiped it by himself, and said with a smile: "You are so weak. My own body knows why you are like your father. Husband has already been nagging like this before he married. Let's see which brother Dare to marry you."

Xue Baishu didn't care, and said: "I care about myself, how can I call it a nagging. Come, wash your hands."

Ye Man washed his hands, looked at the two packages on the stone table with the words 'Yu Ji' printed on them, and asked, "What is this?"

Xue Baishu didn't dare to let his aunt know that someone came to see a doctor. If his aunt knew, he would definitely treat him regardless of his own health.

"Oh, this, I sent people to buy snacks on the street." He made an excuse casually, since he loves snacks anyway, Ah Mo wouldn't doubt it.

Ye Man took the cloth towel to wipe his hands, and said, "Oh, then eat quickly. I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know what's changed on the street. When I feel better, I'll go out for a walk."

Xue Baishu opened the snack box and said, "I went out to check it out yesterday, and the changes are pretty big, especially, the North and South Streets are very crowded and bustling than before. Ah, why don't you try this snack too?" .”

"I don't like sweets, you can eat them yourself." Ye Man shook her head and said.

As he said that, Xue Baishu had already opened the snack box, and there were a total of five small snacks inside, each of which was different.

His eyes lit up, and he took a flower-like snack and said to him, "Ah, look, it looks like a flower, would you like to try it?"

"Oh, this dessert looks pretty good." When Ye Man saw it, he was also amazed by the delicate shape of the dessert. The white five-petal-like dough was wrapped with dark red stuffing, which was so pretty. of.

"Really, you taste this flower, I eat this soft one, it seems to be filled with stuffing." Xue Baishu handed the flower to him, and took a bite out of a round white dumpling .

The glutinous dough was filled with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, which were sweet and fragrant. Xue Baishu couldn't stop nodding, squinting his eyes slightly, and ate the remaining half at once.

The taste is delicate, full of sweetness, the taste of this snack is great!

"It's delicious." Ye Man tasted the petal-shaped dessert in his hand, and also praised it. He turned over the shell of the gift box to take a look, "Yu Ji? I haven't heard of it before, probably it's a new one." Yes, not those time-honored brands."

"The last time we came back was nine years ago, and we haven't stayed for a few days. I don't know how many new dim sum shops have opened." Xue Baishu said, and took another dim sum with a burnt yellow surface.

He took a bite, opened his eyes wide, looked at the dim sum section, and looked at his aunt, "Ah, look, there are two kinds of stuffing in it, one is on the other side, it seems to taste like bean paste and lotus seeds."

Seeing his son eating happily, Ye Man asked with a smile, "Is it to your liking?"

Xue Baishu nodded, and said: "It tastes good and looks good. It's called Yu Ji, right? Next time I go to the store to have a look, maybe there are many other dim sums."

He thought about the brother who stuffed him with dim sum and said, it seems that this is the dim sum made by themselves in their shop?

"Didn't you go to the pharmacy with your father today?" Ye Man usually didn't like sweets, so he ate a piece of snack slowly, thinking that his son said he was going out in the morning, but now he was attracted by this snack, afraid He procrastinates.

Xue Baishu nodded. His father wanted to open a medicine hall in the city. They were checking the situation everywhere. He said, "Well, I'll go right after I finish eating. I wanted to go shopping in the street earlier. By the way, eh, Master Luo invited us to have lunch at noon the day after tomorrow, will you come?"

"Master Luo? Oh, the third son of the Minister of Rites?" Ye Man asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, he's the county magistrate here now. Didn't Dad take his bone before, and you treated his grandma? When you heard that we were back, you sent an invitation to invite us to dinner. Are you going?"

Ye Man shook his head and said, "You guys go, I don't like to join in the fun."

"Okay. Then I'm going out, stop digging." Xue Baishu replied.

Ye Man nodded and said, "Okay, I got it, let's go."

Xue Baishu took out a snack and put it in his mouth, then put away the box of snacks, kept it back to continue eating, and then went out.

On the other hand, before Brother Le and Brother Chang went back, they went to the cloth shop and pulled a piece of cloth back.The excuse they came out to find was to buy cloth, and it would be difficult to pay back if they didn't buy a piece.

In Jufu Building, Yu Qingze didn't look happy when he saw Brother Le came back so quickly, probably because he didn't see Mrs. Ye.

He said, "Brother Le, grandpa is here, in the backyard."

As soon as Brother Le heard that his grandfather had arrived, he hurried to the backyard.This is what he asked someone to ask grandpa to come over today.

Afraid that Yu Qingze would hear it, he specially dragged Grandpa Chang into the room, and then asked him if he had taken any cold medicine when he was a child.

Grandpa Chang frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"

Le Geer paused, and still told about his going to the doctor, but he didn't talk about going to Dr. Ye.If he said so, grandpa would definitely go to find Doctor Ye by himself, he didn't want grandpa to be tired.

When Grandpa Chang heard this, his expression became serious, and he said, "Is it because of this reason?"

Le Geer nodded.

Grandpa Chang thought for a while, and then said: "When you were young, we were still in Qingzhou. You had a high fever all over your body, and the temperature couldn't drop for a few days. It was too chaotic at that time, and we couldn't find a doctor at all. The village knows a little bit about medicine. It’s Mu Mu’s grandfather, who tried many methods but couldn’t cool you down. Seeing that you won’t last long, Grandpa Mu Mu gritted his teeth and said that he should find a lot of cold medicine, maybe it can cool you down. After we discussed it, Thinking it was feasible, Grandpa Mu took your father and your aunt up the mountain to collect a lot of medicine and came back. You drank it for three days, and the temperature really dropped, which saved your life."

When Le Geer heard it, it turned out to be the case.

In fact, his memory of that period is very vague, and he doesn't remember much. Only when he was extremely stimulated, he would recall some sporadic scenes, like when Xiaohao was in danger before.But he knew that there was an accident. His father and grandfather had told him that because of that incident, his eldest brother was gone.

Grandpa Chang sighed and said, "So it was because of that time? Xiao Le, we are useless, we are sorry for you."

Brother Le grabbed Grandpa's hand, shook his head, and gestured: Grandpa, don't blame yourself, it was an accident, if I didn't do that, I might not be able to live long ago.

"Oh, it's because of you..." Grandpa Chang patted Brother Le's head in distress.

Le Geer shook his head and gestured: "It's not bitter, grandpa, it's fine now."

Grandpa Chang nodded when he heard the words, a tear flashed in his eyes.

Le Geer gestured again: Do you remember which medicines they are?

Mu Mu's grandfather and father passed away a long time ago, so I can only ask my grandfather.

Grandpa Chang shook his head and said, "A lot, I don't remember that many. They picked all the medicines from the nearby hills, and when they came back, they boiled them in a hurry."

Brother Le didn't ask any more after hearing the words.

The two of them left the room, Brother Le went to work, and Yu Qingze dragged Grandpa into the storage room and asked again.

Grandpa Chang said it again, then looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you asking again? Do you have a conflict with Xiao Le?"

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "Grandpa, no. Brother Le was afraid that I would be worried, so he didn't tell me about his visit to the doctor, so I could only pretend not to know, otherwise he might care more about his body."

"Oh." Grandpa Chang looked at him and said seriously, "You still remember what you promised me before?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "Of course, what I say will always count. Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm just worried that Brother Le will get into a corner. Don't worry, I will watch him."

Grandpa Chang looked at him for a while, then sighed, and said, "Just remember."

On the second and third day, Brother Le and Brother Chang also went to Dr. Ye's house after breakfast, but they still got the same answer and were stopped by Uncle Zheng.

"I told the Patriarch about this, and he said no. Two brothers, our old man is really in poor health. He has been sick from long-term fatigue, and his spirit is not good. The Patriarch dare not let him work hard anymore. Please go back."

After speaking, Zheng Bo closed the door.

Brother Le and Brother Chang had no choice but to put the snacks by the door, and then went back.

"Uncle Zheng, what, are they here again?" In the yard, Xue Baishu was digging the ground for his grandma, when he saw Uncle Zheng come in with two boxes of familiar snacks, he asked.

Uncle Zheng nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes, every time I leave the snacks at the door and leave."

Xue Baishu looked at it, sighed, and said: "If only my medical skills were as good as Ah Mo's, I can go and show them. It's a pity that my father is not proficient in this area. I went to visit yesterday Talk to Dr. Li, tell him about it, and he told me, but there is nothing he can do, let alone me."

Xue Baishu's father is also a doctor, but he is mainly proficient in trauma treatment and orthopedics, and he is helpless about his brother's infertility.

Zheng Bo replied: "Third young master, don't underestimate yourself, your current medical skills are already very good, and in time, you will definitely surpass the master and the old man."

"Ugh……"

At noon, Xue Baishu and his father went to Jufulou for dinner at the invitation of Master Luo.

Xiaoer took them to Qiuju Pavilion.

Entering the private room, Master Luo and Luo Fulang have already arrived.

"Lord Luo, Luo Fulang." Xue Baishu and his father Xue Jingfu bowed their hands together.

Seeing the two, Luo Mingda got up and cupped his hands, and said: "Mr. Xue, Brother Xue, haha, long time no see. I never thought you would come back to Tongshan. Come, please sit down."

Xue Jingfu took Xue Baishu to sit down, then waved his hands and said with a smile: "I'm not an imperial doctor now, Lord Luo dare not call him that anymore."

Luo Mingda smiled and said: "You are humble. With your medical skills, if Doctor Ye is not in good health and you insist on coming back, how could the emperor let you go. Hey, why didn't Doctor Ye come here together?"

"Hey, he's not in good health and it's inconvenient to go out. Please let me take care of you two on his behalf." Xue Jingfu sighed and explained.

"In this way, we were negligent and disturbed Doctor Ye's rest. My family has always been thinking about your kindness, so we must thank you both." Luo Mingda said.

"You're welcome, it's the duty of a doctor. Master Luo doesn't have to worry about it."

Several people politely said a few words and began to chat.The food came out soon, and they chatted while eating, but they were also happy.

In the second half of the dinner, Xue Baishu got up and went downstairs to relieve himself.

When passing the kitchen, I casually took a look inside, but saw a familiar figure.

Isn't this one of the two brothers who came to his house for medical treatment these days?So he is the chef of this restaurant?

He didn't care either, and went to the hut in the backyard to relieve himself.When I came out again, I happened to see that brother talking with an old man by the well in the backyard.

He stood aside, wanting to wait for the two of them to finish talking before washing their hands.

At this time, his father also came down to relieve him.

"Bai Shu, where are you standing?"

"..." Xue Baishu paused for a moment, and when the two of them looked over, he quickly said, "I didn't do anything, I washed my hands and went up."

Seeing that it was Xue Baishu, Brother Le opened his eyes wide.

Grandpa Chang asked, "What's the matter? We know each other?"

Brother Le nodded, without specifying who it was.

But when Xue Jingfu passed by, he saw Grandpa Chang, he stopped, looked at it for a long time, and asked hesitantly: "Brother, may I ask, is your surname Chang?"
