The Culinary Tycoon

Yu Qingze dragged eight packs of flour bought at wholesale price back to the snack bar. He didn't expect to be able to buy it, and he never put the corner of his mouth down all the way.

When Brother Chang and Tie Zhu saw such a truckload of flour, they all asked him where he bought it.

Yu Qingze replied with a smile: "Hongyun just returned a shipment of flour today, and the ones I bought from them are cheaper by a penny and a half a catty."

"Really? Didn't they not allow Boss Kang to sell it to us? How could they sell it to you?" Brother Chang asked in surprise.

"The manager didn't recognize me." Yu Qingze smiled.

"Hahahahaha!" Brother Chang couldn't help laughing, and after a while he said, "The person in charge probably hasn't been to our store, so he doesn't recognize you."

"Yes, I guess I won't be able to go next time. I happened to meet their boss when I was leaving, so I should have recognized me."

Tie Zhuhan smiled and said, "I'll try it next time, and next time I'll go to Er Niu. If they don't sell it to us, we'll buy their cheap ones! I'm mad at them!"

Yu Qingze nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, you can try it next time. But tomorrow, you still have to go to the store in the city to buy it. Before they get their attention, let's buy more."

Tie Zhu and Er Niu nodded, and said, "Okay."

After unloading the flour, Yu Qingze returned to the restaurant, which was not closed yet.

Brother Le and Jia Bao were cooking in the kitchen, and when they saw him come back, they all looked at him.

Yu Qingze smiled and told them again.

When a few people heard it, they were all happy.

Dasong said: "Then when the seafood boat comes back, can we also go buy it?"

Yu Qingze said: "Yes, but I don't know when the seafood boat will return. I will continue to check tomorrow."

After washing his face and changing his clothes, Yu Qingze came over to take over Jiabao's job.

"Brother, I ordered a few big dishes in the private room on the second floor. There are three peacock fish, two five-cup geese, and two pickled pork with preserved vegetables. It just so happens that you are back. You can make this, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it well."

"Okay, you go to rest for a while." Yu Qingze put on the apron, looked at the menus ordered by the guests, and then started to cook skillfully, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

Although he happened to buy flour today, but the fundamental problem has not been solved. Who is behind the good fortune has not been found out yet, so his heart is still very heavy.

He didn't believe that it was the round-faced boss of Hongyun who wanted to deal with them. They were in different industries and didn't know each other at all.

But, who is the person behind that?Is it the Xiangmanyuan, or which other restaurant?

If this problem is not resolved, then their food supply will be affected in the future, and the feeling of being constrained by others is not good.

It would be great if I could get back good quality flour and seafood by myself.

Such a thought flashed through Yu Qingze's mind.

Early the next morning, Yu Qingze got up early and went to the pier to watch, but he still had nothing to do.

After staying empty for two consecutive days, it seems that tomorrow is the day when the seafood boat will come back.

Seeing that it was late and it was almost noon, Yu Qingze stood up, patted the grass clippings on the back of his buttocks, shook his numb legs, waited until the numbness in the legs passed and the blood circulation was smooth, and then walked back.

After walking into the North City Gate for a while, Yu Qingze suddenly saw two people coming out of the alley in front of him.

That round body with a round face, small eyes and big ears is that lucky boss. Beside him is the young man who was in charge of transporting flour yesterday.

The two of them were talking and walking forward, the round-faced boss said something excited, and gestured twice, the young man turned his face to talk, his expression was not very good, he didn't seem to agree with the round-faced boss's words if.

As they were talking, the two of them seemed to have a disagreement, so they stopped. The round-faced boss pulled the young man aside and started talking again.

Yu Qingze hurried to the side of the stall, and listened to them talking.

"...Hey, why don't you listen? You think I want to do this. We have been in business for so many years to gain a firm foothold. Do you want to burn it?" The round-faced boss looked distressed.

The young man replied unconvinced: "You care so much about him, you don't know how his reputation is in his family, dad, but if you still help him like this, you are helping the evildoers!"

The round-faced boss sighed, and said: "Then what can we do? He is your cousin after all. You don't know what his uncle does? And don't help him. If he trips us up, we will eat it too." I can't walk around."

The young man was silent for a while, and then said: "You are afraid of him and his uncle, but you are not afraid here? Well, Boss Yu has such a good relationship with the Cai and Zhao residences. I heard that the new county magistrate You have to eat food from his store every day. If you do this, you offend several people at once? He asked you to come forward, oh, we have done all the offending things, and he sits there waiting to count the money. When exposed, he At most, we can pat our butts and leave and continue in another place, how can we stay here in Tongshan in the future?"

The round-faced boss explained: "I didn't block Yu Ji's road. Your cousin originally asked me not to let them sell it to him. I thought it was inappropriate, so I just asked them to raise the price. And, I heard that the county magistrate does not eat seafood."

The young man glanced at his father speechlessly, and said, "Father, you double the price of seafood, and double the price of flour. What's the difference between this and sealing people off? The county magistrate doesn't eat seafood, and neither does his family? People from the Cai Mansion and the Zhao Mansion don’t eat it either?”

"...They can buy flour from other people's homes."

young people:"……"

"Okay, okay, everything is like this, it's useless for you to talk about me, go to your cousin first."

"It's really annoying him, why don't you come to Tongshan? Do you think this is his home? He dares to use it here! As for the cooking skills in his shop, he is not even half of Yu Ji's level. Isn’t it normal to be robbed of business?!”

"Okay, don't let your cousin hear what you said later, and be careful not to finish eating."

The young man walked away cursing, his father followed behind shaking his head and sighing.

Hearing this, Yu Qingze looked at them thoughtfully, roughly guessing who the person behind them was, but he still walked slowly behind them, wanting to make sure to see if they were going there.

He followed the two of them and walked forward for a few minutes, and finally they stopped in front of Xiangman Garden.The young man was obviously unwilling to go in, his father pulled him twice, and then reluctantly went in.

Yu Qingze looked at Jia Xiaoren, the owner of Xiangmanyuan, who welcomed them in with a smile, and then went back to the restaurant with a sullen face.

It really is a fragrant garden!

In the fragrant garden, Jia Xiaoren led the two of them to a table by the window, sat down, made Xiaoer serve tea, and then smiled and said: "Ah Chang has worked hard, have all the goods been sold out?"

"Basically." The young man named Achang answered casually, and then saw that there were about three or four tables of customers in the store, and said, "Cousin, isn't your business pretty good, and there are already customers at noon now. .”

Jia Xiaoren shook his head and said: "It can't be compared with before. It used to be half full. Now there are more businessmen from the north and south, and fewer old customers."

"Oh." Achang replied, thinking, as long as the old customers have eyes, they will know that Yu Ji's craftsmanship is good.

They were talking, a group of people came in outside, Jia Xiaoren saw it, and said to the two: "The guests from Youya Room are here, let me go and greet them, you can order whatever you want, don't be polite to me."

As he spoke, Jia Xiaoren greeted the guests at the entrance of the restaurant: "Oh, Master Liao, shopkeeper Xu, you are here, the private room is ready, please come inside."

"Hey Boss Jia, you came here in person, you have worked so hard." The head Liao greeted Jia Xiaoren a few words, and then took his guests into the only private room in Xiangman Garden.

A group of people entered the private room and sat down. Xiaoer came to serve tea. Jia Xiaoren greeted him a few words, and then said: "Everyone, take a look at what you want to eat, tell me, and make it right away. Master Liao, look at the drink order What? Zhuangyuanhong or Zhuyeqing?"

Master Liao asked the others, and said, "Come on Zhuyeqing, let's have a jar, and the others, let's see what to eat."

A table of people quickly ordered the dishes.

"Okay, feel free to everyone, I'll make arrangements first." With that said, Jia Xiaoren went out.

As soon as he left the door, he heard a guest inside complaining: "Old Liao, why did you decide to go here? Didn't you mean to go to Jufu Building at the intersection? The food here is not very good."

Master Liao sighed and said, "There's no way, all the private rooms in Jufulou have been booked out, and there's no room left."

The guest said, "You must be too late."

Master Liao replied: "I ordered people to go to Jufu Lou yesterday morning, and there is no private room. Yesterday's noon, evening, today's noon, and evening are all booked, so I have to book this place." It's over."

Another person said: "Business in Jufulou is booming, so you have to book a private room three days in advance. Last time for my youngest's birthday, our family wanted to have a good meal in Jufulou, but we booked it three days in advance, and it was Yu's birthday." The boss heard that it was my youngest's birthday, so he communicated with Cai's mansion and made room for him."

"And let the people of Cai's mansion vacate the private room?"

The man replied: "Yes, I heard that it was Boss Yu's birthday that day, and Mrs. Cai and the others wanted to come over to celebrate him. They reserved that private room for Boss Yu's own birthday, and finally let us use it first. gone."

"I see. Boss Yu is quite righteous. I heard that in his husband's village, because of the secret recipe he taught, every family is now making preserved meat, and every household has made a lot of money. It is the past of the nearby villages. It’s the best. Speaking of which, after a while, the cured meat should be sold. Thinking of the taste of the preserved meat that I ate last year, I can’t help but drool now. I especially like to eat the cured chicken, which can be eaten with celery and garlic It’s delicious once it’s stir-fried, and it doesn’t require great cooking skills.”

"Yeah, the taste is absolutely amazing, and it goes well with wine! Next time when the cured meat comes out, there will definitely be dishes in Jufulou. Let's make an appointment in advance, and then go there and have a good meal!"

"Okay, that's a good deal, next time you can't push back and forth and always find excuses."

"No problem! As long as you go to Jufulou, you can ask me to drink anytime!"

"..."

Jia Xiaoren listened outside the door, his face as black as ink.
