The Culinary Tycoon

"It's Big Brother!" Cai Yunwei's eyes lit up when he heard this voice, and he immediately stood up from his chair to greet him, shouting in surprise, "Big Brother!"

Everyone looked at the door, and a handsome young man of eighteen or nineteen came in, followed by a gentle-looking young man.

The young man in front is the eldest son of the magistrate, Cai Chenxi, the eldest son of the Cai family.

Cai Chenxi saw Cai Yunwei coming up, he patted his younger brother's head, and said happily, "Wei'er!"

He carefully looked at his younger brother's face again, and said, "Well, his complexion looks a lot ruddy."

Cai Yunwei is still only a half-grown boy, and he was very happy to see his eldest brother whom he had not seen for a long time, and said: "Recently, Uncle Fu has learned a lot of new food from Brother Yu, and I have eaten a lot recently." Should I praise it? ?

Cai Chenxi nodded with a smile, and said very relievedly: "That's good, eat more, take care of your body, and my brother will take you out to play in the future!"

Cai Yunwei nodded emphatically, "Yeah!" Very happy.

Then, he called out to the gentle young man behind, "Brother Tianrui."

The gentle young man is Cai Chenxi's childhood playmate and classmate, Jiang Tianrui.

The two brothers chatted for a while, Cai Chenxi looked into the room, saw a guest, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, youngest, there are guests at home, so it's time for us to come back."

Jiang Tianrui also called out 'Grandpa Cai' and 'Youngest'.

When Mr. and Mrs. Cai saw their precious grandson, the wrinkles on their faces burst into laughter.

Old Fulang Cai pulled his precious grandson and said: "Xi'er is back, and Tianrui is coming to sit down soon, just in time for dinner, you are lucky, if you come back later, you won't be able to eat this delicious food."

After the two of them cleaned their hands and took their seats, Mr. Cai introduced them: "Xi'er, Tianrui, this is the boss Yu Qingzeyu who gave Wei'er a new recipe. Your name is Big Brother Yu. Xiao Yu, this is my eldest grandson." , Cai Chenxi, this is his good brother who grew up with him since he was a child, and he is also a classmate friend Jiang Tianrui."

The two greeted Yu Qingze with their hands together. Cai Chenxi said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Yu. Wei'er has suffered from this since she was a child, and her health has been bad. Now she finally sees the hope of healing."

Yu Qingze said modestly: "Yu just happened to know how to eat. The second young master is deeply blessed, and he will definitely recover."

Afterwards, Mr. Cai introduced Chang Le's family to the two of them, and the two sides greeted each other.

Then, it's finally ready to eat!

Grandpa Cai announced the opening of the meal, and said to Cai Chenxi and Jiang Tianrui: "Let's say you two are lucky. Today's table is all made by your elder brother Yu himself. It is also the first time for us to eat. Everyone move your chopsticks, eat quickly stand up."

Everyone moved their chopsticks.

It was the first time for the Cai family to eat the dishes made by Yu Qingze. After the first bite, Mr. and Mrs. Cai and Cai Yunwei believed what Mi Geer said, and it was much more delicious than Uncle Fu's cooking.

Mr. Cai likes heavy food, he can't stop nodding while eating the spicy shredded chicken and braised eel, clinking glasses with Grandpa Chang from time to time, drinking a glass of wine is very pleasant.

And Mrs. Cai likes to eat eggplant. He almost ate a small half of a fish-flavored eggplant pot, and his eyes were smiling.

Cai Yunwei has a small appetite, but he still drank two small bowls of seafood porridge and ate a lot of dishes, which made Mr. and Mrs. Cai and Cai Chenxi very pleased.

As for Cai Chenxi and Jiang Tianrui, although they are scholars, they are still young and usually eat a lot. When they encounter delicious dishes, they can't stop at once.

Everyone was full of praise, and the dinner table was very happy.

Originally, Chang Le and the others were a little cautious, thinking that big families would pay attention to 'eat without talking while sleeping', but it seems that Cai's family doesn't have so many rules when eating. Apart from using serving chopsticks, they also talk to each other from time to time. , Eating delicious food, will also sigh.

Seeing them like this, Chang Le and the others slowly relaxed and enjoyed the food.

Chang Hao also recommends to Cai Yunwei who is sitting next to him from time to time: This is delicious, little brother, you can eat this; that is also delicious, little brother, try it...

Through weaving grasshoppers, the two teenagers established a preliminary friendship. Chang Hao thought it was delicious and did not forget to share it with his friends. However, basically every dish on the table was delicious to him.

Cai Yunwei was overwhelmed by Amway without knowing it.

……

The meal ended satisfactorily, everyone was full, and felt a little unsatisfied.

The dining table was removed, and everyone moved to the main hall to drink tea.

"I have lived for decades, and now I know how to write the word 'delicious'!" Mr. Cai sighed after taking a sip of hot tea.

Mrs. Cai glared at his wife, and said, "It's a blessing to still be able to eat, you can be content."

Mr. Cai quickly said, "Yes, yes, what Fu Lang said is true."

Yu Qingze glanced at the two old couples, and then glanced at Jiang Tianrui who was facing him. His heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Actually, food can be eaten in various combinations and in many ways. Just like noodles, it's not just what we see In this way, as long as we use our imagination, we can create more different methods and make more delicious food. There is only unexpected, and there is nothing impossible.”

"Yes, yes, we have seen it today." Mr. Cai agreed, and said, "Speaking of noodles, hey, Tianrui, doesn't your Yue family open a noodle restaurant?"

Jiang Tianrui nodded and said, "Yes, my father-in-law opened a noodle restaurant on Beidajie."

The members of Chang Le's family looked at each other, but did not answer in silence, but began to quietly look at Jiang Tianrui.

Yu Qingze said 'curiously': "Oh? Our food stall is on the North Street. I don't know which noodle restaurant is the father-in-law of the Tianrui brothers?"

Jiang Tianrui said: "It's Liu Ji Noodle House."

Yu Qingze slapped his thigh fiercely, "Oh...so it's Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, it's diagonally across from us. It's a big noodle restaurant. I heard that the taste is very good, and all the customers say it's good."

Seeing Yu Qingze's leg slap, Chang Hao bit his lips tightly to avoid laughing, and whispered in his heart: Brother Yu, your reaction is too exaggerated!Are you going to kill me laughing!

Seeing that his lips were bitten, Cai Yunwei hurriedly asked, "Xiaohao, what's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort?"

Chang Hao held back hard, shook his head, and said, "I'm still relishing the lunch, it's so delicious."

Cai Yunwei: ...

Over there, Jiang Tianrui heard Yu Qingze's words, and said: "The business has always been good before. I heard that there is a new food called cold noodle cold skin on North Street recently, which has grabbed many customers over there."

Ugh, this is embarrassing...

Mr. and Mrs. Cai and Cai Yunwei knew about it, so they didn't know what to say when they heard this.

As for Cai Chenxi, he also knew about it from a letter written by his younger brother, but he never found a chance to tell Jiang Tianrui that his benefactor had robbed his father-in-law's guest. I had no choice but to touch my nose and stop talking.

The air suddenly quieted down.

Jiang Tianrui found that everyone was silent, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

Yu Qingze coughed lightly, and said, "...that, I am the one who runs the food stall that sells cold noodles and cold skin."

Jiang Tianrui: ...

After a while, Jiang Tianrui said: "Brother Yu opened it, so it's not surprising that all the customers go to your place to eat. Father-in-law and two brothers-in-law are studying how the Liangpi is made, and they all admire Yu Big Brother's craftsmanship and bold ideas."

Yu Qingze laughed awkwardly, and said, "Hehehe, that's right, this is just a snack. In fact, there are many different ways to make and eat noodles. I heard that your father-in-law has been making noodles for decades, and he must have a lot of experience. I want to learn from him."

Hearing this, Jiang Tianrui thought for a while, and said: "My father-in-law has always paid attention to craftsmanship, and he admires those who have craftsmanship and real skills. If he knows that Brother Yu has this idea, he must be very happy."

Mr. Cai heard the words, and said: "That day, Rui, you might as well connect the two of them, let them get to know each other, and poke each other, then the people in Tongshan City can eat more delicious noodles from now on. Xiao Yu what do you think?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "That's exactly what I thought."

Jiang Tianrui nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay, I'll tell my father-in-law when I get back from work in the afternoon."

When Yu Qingze heard Jiang Tianrui's description of his father-in-law, he felt a little relieved. Generally, people who pay attention to their own skills have their own cuteness, and they are much easier to get along with than those who are only thinking about playing dirty tricks against their opponents.

"That's really a big thank you," he thanked.

"Brother Yu is too polite."

Mr. Cai said again: "By the way, what are you doing when you come back this time? Aren't you going to have a township exam soon?"

Cai Chenxi replied: "Mr. Yuan, who taught us when we were young, has passed away. We came here to express our condolences."

Mr. Cai sighed, and said, "Let the butler get ready, and you go quickly."

Cai Chenxi responded and went out with Jiang Tianrui.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, Yu Qingze and the others didn't go back immediately, Cai Mansion arranged a place for them to take a lunch break.

After the lunch break, Yu Qingze went to the kitchen and talked with Uncle Fu for a long time, and Chang Le followed suit.They waited until the sun was not so strong in the middle of the afternoon before they left and went home.

On the way, Yu Qingze said to Grandpa Chang: "Grandpa, I want to find a helper."

Grandpa Chang didn't even think about it, he nodded and said, "Look for it, and you all can relax."

Yu Qingze asked: "Is there any good candidate in the village? It's best to be diligent, tight-lipped, and smart, and just be able to greet guests."

Grandpa Chang thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to look for it in the village?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "We know the details of the people in the village. Those who want to be honest, don't shake our secret recipes and details. He just needs to go back with us every day, and he is in charge of greeting customers when we open the stall. Let’s make cold noodle and jelly by ourselves.”

"Well, let me think about it." Grandpa Chang thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you want a man or a brother?"

"It's best brother, who loves to smile." The waiter's standard eight-teeth smile is the best.Yu Qingze thought about it, and suddenly remembered something again, and said, "What does the village think of my brother coming out to work?"

Grandpa Chang said: "Less is less, but there are also some. Don't be afraid. Poor people can make money. I think Brother Chang next door is okay. He has a lively temper and a good personality. He doesn't gossip. Le relationship is also pretty good.”

Yu Qingze thought for a while, this Brother Chang has come to see Chang Le several times, he has met him a few times, but he doesn't remember exactly what he looks like. "Grandpa, how are Brother Chang's father and Ah Mo?"

Grandpa Chang said: "They are all honest and reliable."

"Is Brother Chang married?"

"Not yet, the matchmaker told him several times, but he didn't agree. This kid is also a thoughtful person. He has to look at the one he likes, or he won't marry. His father and grandma can't do anything about him. Just go with him."

Yu Qingze smiled, "That's good, getting married is a lifetime thing, that's how it should be, you can't just let it go."

"Well, it's not easy to find the right one."

Yu Qingze didn't answer this, and asked again: "Grandpa, can you ask him tonight? You also need to ask his father and his aunt for permission."

"Okay, I'll go back later." Grandpa Chang agreed without hesitation.

"If they all agree, ask him to come home at night, and I want to see him."

"Row."

"Grandpa, what do you think about the salary being set at 60 cash a day?"

"It's up to you to decide."

"Okay." Yu Qingze agreed, and then turned to say: "When you find a helper, Grandpa, send Xiaohao to the elementary school."

Hearing Mr. Cai said that the provincial examination was coming soon, Yu Qingze thought that if he was on Earth, it would be almost September school season. Now that he can make money, Chang Hao's education problem can be solved.

go to school!When Chang Hao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to look at his grandfather.

Grandpa Chang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You want to find a helper so that Xiao Hao can go to school?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "The family is more relaxed now, Xiaohao is ten years old, and it is too late to start school now, so we can't delay any longer."

Grandpa Chang didn't know what was going on in his heart. He hadn't thought of this question yet, so he could only nod his head heavily and said, "Okay, let's go to school!"

"Really, Grandpa?" Chang Hao jumped to Grandpa Chang's side, looking at Grandpa eagerly to confirm.

Grandpa Chang touched his head and said, "Really, listen to Brother Yu and go to school!"

When Chang Hao heard this, he jumped out like a sky monkey being set on fire, shouting as he ran, "Aww, I can go to school now! I can go to school now!"

Grandpa Chang and Chang Le watched him so happy from behind, they were both emotional and very happy for him.

In the past, if there was any spare money in the family to let him go to school, it would be great if he could maintain the expenses of living at home for a year and keep the family from starving.

Now, their life is much easier. During these days, they have made a lot of money selling capers and radishes, and they have also saved some of the wages given by Yu Qingze before the partnership.After a few days of partnership, they can also share a lot.

Finally able to afford monthly beam repairs.

All of this was brought to them by the man beside him.

Grandpa Chang sincerely thanked Yu Qingze: "Ah Ze, thank you, it's really thanks to you."

Chang Le also gestured to Yu Qingze and thanked him.

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "Grandpa, Brother Le, this shows that we are destined. You see, if Brother Le hadn't saved me, I might not survive, and nothing will happen. So, this is our relationship." Fate, God let me meet Brother Le."

Saying that, Yu Qingze gave Chang Le a very meaningful look.

Chang Le didn't understand the deep meaning in Yu Qingze's eyes, he just felt that when Big Brother Yu said the last sentence, he looked at him, which inexplicably made him feel hot and embarrassed.

So he quietly lowered his head.

Grandpa Chang looked at the two of them, was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "It's a predestined relationship."

The Sky-Changing Monkey came back again, and happily asked, "What's the fate?"

Grandpa Chang laughed and scolded: "It's none of your business, walk well, scurrying around, not in good shape! Monkey, you still behave like this in school, see if the master doesn't hit your palm!"

Little Baba, the leather monkey, replied with a grin: "It won't be like this in school, I'm just happy! Grandpa, I'm happy!"

"Little monkey! Poor and happy!"

All the way laughing and laughing, the few of them returned home soon, and the sun was just about to set.

Grandpa Chang took out the pipe and went to Brother Chang's house next door to recruit workers.

Grandpa Chang talked very well, and Brother Chang came to Chang Le's house after dinner.

Yu Qingze asked a few questions casually, and seeing that Brother Chang was fluent in conversation, generous in attitude, and smiling, he was quite satisfied, so he told him to try it for seven days first, and 50 coins a day for the seven days. The stall is only 60 Wen a day.

Brother Chang readily agreed.

Yu Qingze made another appointment with him at a meeting time in the morning, and asked him to wait at the door of his house.

Brother Chang smiled and agreed, and then went back.

After the matter was finalized, Brother Chang set off with them the next day.

On the way, Brother Chang first asked how they sell their cold noodles and cold noodle jelly, and then secretly remembered it, and then asked about the work of the food stalls, so that they could find out in advance.

Yu Qingze answered one by one, and was very satisfied to see that he was so caring.

Facts have proved that Grandpa Chang still has a good vision.Brother Chang is indeed very clever and diligent.

After opening the stall for a while, he watched Chang Hao walk around a few times before he was able to greet customers by himself.His hands and feet are also quite nimble, and after an hour has passed, he has already been able to greet guests proficiently.

With Brother Chang sharing the work, Chang Hao can sometimes be free and help his brother.

At the end of the day, the three of them were indeed much more relaxed than before.

From Boss Liu's side, there was no response today, but Yu Qingze was not in a hurry.Cai Chenxi and the others came back to attend the funeral. Today is the day of the funeral. He thought, the soonest, Jiang Tianrui will not be able to give him an answer until tomorrow at least.

In the Liu's noodle restaurant, Jiang Tianrui told Boss Liu about meeting Yu Qingze in the Cai Mansion and the fact that Yu Qingze was a good cook.

After finishing speaking, he took a careful look at Boss Liu and asked, "Father-in-law, from Boss Yu's words, he really wants to get to know you, what do you want?"

Boss Liu frowned: "What did he say?"

Jiang Tianrui repeated Yu Qingze's words.

Boss Liu asked again: "He said there are many ways to eat noodles?"

Jiang Tianrui nodded, "He is a superb cook, so he must not be talking nonsense."

Boss Liu stood up, turned around twice, and asked again: "He really said he wanted to get to know me?"

Jiang Tianrui nodded and said, "Yes."

Boss Liu continued to wander around for a long time before he stopped, looked at the Liangpi that hadn't been made in front of him, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay."

Jiang Tianrui immediately said: "They are about to close the stall and go home, so shall I invite him to the noodle shop?"

"Wait." Boss Liu stopped his brother-in-law and said, "I'll go with you."

So, when Yu Qingze and the others packed up and were ready to go home, they saw Boss Liu and Jiang Tianrui appearing in front of their booth.

Just as Jiang Tianrui was about to speak, Boss Liu stopped him with his hand.

Yu Qingze looked at the two of them, and was stunned for a moment at first. He never thought that Jiang Tianrui would tell his father-in-law so soon, but seeing Boss Liu's appearance, he didn't know whether they had agreed or not.

Boss Liu stood in front of the food stall for a while, seemed to be a little entangled, and finally opened his mouth, without talking nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"I heard from Tianrui that Boss Yu also knows how to make many kinds of noodles?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "I know a little bit. Only after seeing Brother Tianrui in Cai Mansion yesterday did I know that Boss Liu is his father-in-law."

Boss Liu nodded and said, "I want to see what you said."

Boss Liu is too straightforward.

Yu Qingze was helpless, and said, "Yes."

A few people went to Liu Ji Noodle House together.

After entering the noodle restaurant, Yu Qingze first looked at their menu and the finished products that were just prepared for customers. They were basically Yangchun noodles, shredded pork soup noodles, vegetable soup noodles, egg soup noodles, etc. Anyway, they were basically soup noodles. Then, because there were some ribs Noodles or something, but because of the limited level of cooking, the taste is so-so.

Yu Qingze asked them to make a bowl of their best noodles. He tasted it and probably knew their level.

Looking at some of the side dishes and condiments in the kitchen, Yu Qingze was going to make them a very simple stir-fried noodles with shredded pork and eggs.

Boil the noodles in the pot until they are half-cooked, remove and drain.Stir fry the eggs in the oil pan and shovel them out for later use, then add shredded pork and stir-fry until the color changes, then add ginger and garlic and stir-fry, then add green vegetables and eggs and stir-fry a few times, then add the noodles and stir-fry, put Add salt, soy sauce and a little chili powder, stir fry evenly, and you're done.

"Because the materials are limited, let's make this first, stir-fried noodles with shredded pork and eggs. Boss Liu, try it?"

Yu Qingze put the noodles on the table and handed the chopsticks to Boss Liu.

Boss Liu stared slightly at the bowl of noodles in front of him.

They never thought that fried noodles could be used. Boss Liu felt that Yu Qingze had a great idea just because of this.Of course, he won't say it!

He took the chopsticks, picked up a chopsticks of noodles and put them into his mouth, his brows furrowed as he chewed, the taste was delicious!

Yu Qingze watched him eat bite by bite, and said: "Boss Liu, forgive me, the noodle recipe in your noodle shop is too simple, so you can't compete with Wang Ji on the opposite side."

Boss Liu lost his appetite when he heard Wang Ji, and said, "His approach there is not much better!"

Yu Qingze said quietly: "They also released cold noodles, why don't you launch them? I believe you can make them too."

Boss Liu glanced at him and said, "If you can't draw a tiger dog, you can't do it like your cold noodles, so you don't have to put it on display."

Yu Qingze smiled, not at all modest and said: "I have a unique secret recipe, and ordinary people can't compare it."

Boss Liu snorted, unable to refute, and changed the subject: "The way you cook noodles is mainly due to your good cooking skills. If our people can't cook, they can't cook like you."

Yu Qingze shook his head and said: "This is very simple, just practice more. Other ingredients can also be used for frying. You can sell vegetable fried noodles separately, add eggs for one price, and add meat for another price. The servings are medium and small, so that customers have a choice. In addition, we can also develop some noodles, fried noodles, stewed noodles, casserole noodles, seafood noodles, etc. The variety will be richer, and the business will definitely improve.”

"Zhajiang noodles? Braised noodles? What is the method?" Boss Liu was surprised by the business ideas in Yu Qingze's head, and was very curious when he heard the new method.

"You don't have enough materials here, I'll teach you when I have time. It's getting late today, I have to go back, otherwise it will be dark."

"Wait." Boss Liu asked hesitantly: "Why are you willing to tell me these practices? If you open it yourself, the business will be very good."

Yu Qingze said with a smile: "Because, I am not interested in noodles. Besides, if your business is successful, I think Boss Wang's face must be very good-looking! And I just want to see him so angry and helpless."

After finishing speaking, Yu Qingze turned around and left.

Boss Liu was dumbfounded, Boss Yu...

Then he thought of some things that happened to Yu Ji's food stall before, and he became angry again.

This Fatty Wang used some insidious methods to deal with others!

Yu Qingze was in a good mood all the way.

Chang Hao asked him why he taught Boss Liu how to make noodles.

Yu Qingze replied with a smile: "Is there anything more depressing than seeing your opponent keep making money while your own customers are getting fewer and fewer?"

Hearing the words, Chang Hao and the others couldn't help trembling a little. They always felt that Brother Yu looked a little evil today.

However, when he got home, Yu Qingze couldn't laugh anymore.

In the main room of the house, a middle-aged man with a festive dress and a mole on the lower right of his face was looking at them with a smile.

Damn it, matchmaker!
