The Culinary Tycoon

Yu Qingze asked Boss Kang again about the return time of the seafood ship, and learned that the seafood ship basically returned once every three days, and the shipment was always in the morning, so he didn't know the exact time.

Yu Qingze chatted with him about the pier again, and then returned to the restaurant.

Le Geer and Jia Bao saw him coming back and asked him how he was doing.

Yu Qingze explained the situation.

Both of them fell silent.Not optimistic.

After a while, Yu Qingze said: "I'll go to the pier tomorrow to have a look, don't worry, there will always be a solution."

After a while, Dasong came back.

"Have you bought it?" Yu Qingze asked.

Da Song nodded, gave Yu Qingze the rest of the silver, and said, "I bought it from the boss Luo you mentioned, and I put it where I live."

"Okay, Dazhi, you can buy it at another store later. Then tomorrow, Dasong will buy it at another store." Yu Qingze said.

"Okay." "Okay."

In the afternoon, Brother Chang came over and said that Tie Zhu had already bought the flour at the usual price.

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "Tomorrow, let Erniu go and change stores. Let's buy those stores one by one. Tell Tie Zhu and the others not to go to the store they bought before, and repeat after the round."

Brother Le and Brother Chang both looked at him, a little confused.

Brother Chang said: "Aren't other stores more expensive than Boss Kang's?"

Yu Qingze explained to them: "It's okay, I'm not afraid at all. After waiting for two or three days, the other party will see that we are still opening a store and the quality has not deteriorated, so they will definitely check. If we buy in one place, the risk is too great, and we will give Boss Kang is causing trouble. Let’s disperse and everyone will buy it. Even if the other party finds out, it’s impossible for them to stop buying from Boss Kang and Boss Luo.”

"They ship flour and seafood all the way back to make money. There are only a few seafood sellers in the city, and only a few of them get flour from them. If you don't get them, the others don't sell seafood. Yes, other flour shops also have a fixed supply, so if they don’t ship as soon as possible, they will suffer losses. Unless they go to the market to sell it themselves.”

When the few people heard it, it made sense, and they immediately felt relieved.

After nightfall, taking advantage of the darkness, Brother Chang and Er Niu Tie Zhu brought flour, shrimp and clams to the snack bar.After the restaurant closed, the seafood was transferred to the restaurant.

The next day, after the rooster crowed three times, Yu Qingze woke up.

Boss Kang didn't know the specific day when the seafood boat would return, but he only knew that they shipped the seafood early in the morning.Boss Luo at the seafood stall refused to tell him more, so Yu Qingze had no choice but to go to the pier to stay on guard.

Brother Le also remembered to go with him, but was held down by Yu Qingze.

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, it's cold outside, I can go. You have a good rest, I'll be back before noon, I don't know how many days I will be there, I have to rely on you and Jiabao to look after the kitchen for a while. Dasong and Dazhi will come back to the store after buying seafood, and you and Jiabao will arrange some things ahead."

Le Geer heard this, nodded, and lay down again.

"Go to sleep." Yu Qingze kissed Brother Le on the forehead, tucked him under the quilt, and went out through the back door.He was afraid that someone would come in, so he locked the backyard door from the outside. Jiabao had the key, so he was not afraid.

It was already November, and the north wind was howling. Yu Qingze specially put on a thicker padded jacket, put his hands in the pockets of the padded jacket and walked towards the pier.

The wind by the river will only get stronger, if you don't wear more clothes, you may catch a cold soon.

It was just dawn, and there were no people on the street, and a few people were heading towards the pier.

When they arrived at the North City Gate, the city gate was actually opened, because many cargoes were being loaded and unloaded on the wharf, and the North City Gate opened earlier than the other city gates.

Yu Qingze seldom came to the pier. He only came during festivals and New Years when the river lanterns were released. He only knew the location and general layout of the pier, but didn't know the specifics.

It was only after chatting with Boss Kang yesterday that he realized that the pier was divided into seven berthing areas and loading and unloading areas.The three on the west are mooring areas for boats returning from the north, while the three on the east are mooring areas for boats returning from the south.

And there are seven large fleets in the city, basically all of which have their own territory in the loading and unloading area, both in the east and west loading and unloading areas, and there are other small fleets, adding up to twelve or thirteen fleets.

Yu Qingze thought that luckily he had a chat with Boss Kang first, otherwise he wouldn't know which of the six berthing areas he was looking at.

Hongyun's seafood boat came back from the north, so he walked to the berthing area in the west, watching as he walked.

There are ships parked on the three berthing areas, and there is a short distance between each berthing area. There are empty ships that have unloaded their cargo and have not yet set off.

On the open space not far from the parking area, many wooden houses were built. The signs on the above said 'MRT', 'Huihai', 'Hongyun', 'Jinsheng'... There are a total of ten wooden houses , is the name of each fleet.

These wooden houses are the storage houses for the various fleets after unloading.After the cargo on the ship is unloaded, it will be placed in the wooden house, and the guests will come here to deliver the cargo.Ships like Hongyun, which ship their own goods, also use this place as a wholesale point, and customers who need it come here directly to do business.

When Yu Qingze saw 'Hongyun', he was overjoyed and found his target.It is quite convenient to have such a designated loading and unloading area.

He didn't stare directly at the door of Hongyun's house, but stopped behind a tree after being separated by the wooden houses of two fleets.

It was still early, and there were not many people on the pier, and none of the wooden houses were open, only some stores that needed to wholesale goods had been waiting in the open space in front of each wooden house, lined up crookedly, wanting to wait for the first wholesale goods.

A few people were waiting at the door of Hongyun, dragging carts and carts.

Looking at these, Yu Qingze knew that they were not here to buy seafood, but there was no certainty that there would be a ship coming back, so he could only continue to wait.

The sky gradually brightened, and when it was bright, the wooden doors of various ships were opened from the inside one after another.The loading and unloading area became busy, some were busy shipping goods, and some porters came to load the goods onto the ship.

Hongyun also opened the door, and Yu Qingze stared at it closely.The few waiting people lined up at the door, and after a while, the first person left with three sacks of goods.

Yu Qingze looked at the sack, then moved a little closer, mixed in the crowd and walked past the entrance of Hongyun. There were many sacks on the floor on one side, and many large wooden barrels on the other side, but the wooden barrels were all stacked. And no seafood.

He went around a group and changed positions to continue waiting.

When the sun came out, a man in his 40s came to the wooden house. The people inside were very respectful when they saw him, and he seemed to have an unusual status.

Yu Qingze slipped around the door of Hongyun again, and took a closer look at the man's appearance. He had a round face with double chins, small eyes, and big ears.

The man stayed for about half an hour and then left. After that, there was nothing else to do.Yu Qingze waited until almost noon, and after confirming that no boat had returned, he went back resentfully.

On the first morning, nothing came of it.

When Yu Qingze returned to the restaurant, Brother Le asked him how he was doing, and he shook his head.

"There is flour coming back in the afternoon, I will go and have a look."

In the afternoon, Yu Qingze arrived at the pier two quarters of an hour earlier. He deliberately changed into old clothes, darkened his face a bit, and dragged a cart, pretending to come to buy goods. Squat and wait.

There are many people dressed like him.This is also the conclusion he came to after observing all morning.

Not long after, he saw Boss Kang and several other owners of grain and oil stores coming with people dragging their carts, basically each of them dragged two carts.

He quietly lowered his head and pulled up his collar to cover his face, afraid of being recognized.

After a while, the round-faced middle-aged man I met in the morning also came, and brought some porters.

About two or three quarters of an hour later, it was getting dark, and the lanterns in front of the shipping cabins were all lit up, and some people also lit up the lanterns along the road in the berthing area and loading and unloading area.Yu Qingze finally saw the round-faced middle-aged man and the porter dragging the car towards the parking area.

The ship landed.

Yu Qingze followed to the berth area, wanting to see the person in charge on the ship.

Over there, talking to the round-faced middle-aged man was a young man in his twenties who looked a bit like the middle-aged man, possibly his son.

On the ship, someone instructed the porters and the helpers on the ship to unload all the goods on the ship, and then transport them to the wooden house. After weighing, someone registered.Afterwards, the owner of a grain and oil store directly opened it, checked the quality, tightened his pockets, and loaded onto his cart.

While unloading and shipping, Hongyun and the others shipped very quickly. When all the flour and other grains on the ship were unloaded, the owners of the grain and oil store also bought all of them.

There are a few sacks left in the shop.

Yu Qingze thought for a while, and seeing that the middle-aged man was still on the boat and hadn't come back, he dragged the cart and passed by.

Try your luck, maybe you can buy it?Even if you can't buy it, if someone recognizes him, it can just numb the other party and make them think that they are in a dead end.

"Boss, how do you sell your flour?" Yu Qingze asked while pinching his throat.

The little manager in charge of registration replied: "Four and a half a catty."

Yu Qingze asked again: "How much is this bag about?"

"A hundred catties or so. Some are one or two catties more and some are one or two catties less." The manager finished writing the numbers in his hand, then looked up at him, and asked, "Do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, hurry up, tomorrow morning Gone."

"How many more do you have? Can I have a look?" Yu Qingze asked.

"Okay, let's see, and there are one or two... eight packs, and they are almost sold out. Here, the first eight packs tied with blue cloth strips are flour."

Yu Qingze went over to open the flour one by one and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the same as the one bought by Boss Kang, so he said, "Boss, I want it all."

"Okay. Dude, go to the scale." The manager replied, and then asked the guy behind to weigh the flour again, and then he looked up at Yu Qingze, and said with a smile: "It seems that I haven't seen you much. "

Yu Qingze smiled and replied: "I'm planning to open a grain and oil store. I heard that your flour is good, so I came here."

The steward laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Good vision, the flour of our fortune is the best in Tongshan City!"

"Yeah, I just knew it was good, that's why I came here." Yu Qingze nodded in agreement.

The eight bags of flour were weighed quickly and the money was calculated. Yu Qingze paid the bill, and the guy helped him get the flour to the cart and tie it up.

"Thank you." Yu Qingze smiled and thanked the buddy and the manager, then dragged the cart and walked back.

After walking a few steps, I happened to meet the middle-aged man with a round face and the young man who came back.

Yu Qingze nodded at them, then hurried away dragging the cart.

The round-faced man saw that he was his guest, and nodded with a smile.After the person walked over, he looked at his back, and suddenly felt that the person seemed familiar, where did he meet him?

where is it?

The middle-aged man with a round face frowned and thought. When he returned to the wooden house, he slapped his thigh and finally remembered.

Isn't that person Yu Ji's boss, Yu Qingze?

Alas, this is all precautions. If you don’t buy flour for others, they will buy it at their door, but they don’t recognize it!
