The Culinary Tycoon

Sure enough, when they opened the stall the next morning, Boss Liu came to look for Yu Qingze happily holding a plate with a cover on it.

Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows: "Boss Liu, did you make it?"

Boss Liu nodded and said, "Have a look?"

Yu Qingze lifted the lid, and there was a plate of Liangpi neatly stacked on the plate, which seemed to be freshly made and still steaming.

Yu Qingze sighed, and said, "I knew that nothing can trouble you, Boss Liu."

Boss Liu successfully made Liangpi, and he was happy in his heart. He still maintained a serious expression on his face, and said modestly: "I just thought of it suddenly, but I didn't expect it to be made this way."

"Then your noodle shop can introduce another item of food, that's great." The hook on the corner of your mouth leaked your emotions, so pretend!

Boss Liu shook his head and said, "I don't make Liangpi."

Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows.

Boss Liu said: "I just want to know how to make it, not to steal your business. Besides, you also taught us a lot of cooking methods."

That's right.Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Then thank you, Boss Liu."

Boss Liu shook his head and said, "I should thank you."

On the other hand, after Yu Qingze and the others left the stall, Grandpa Chang made a special trip to the house of his youngest son Chang Sheng.

As soon as he entered the yard, Grandpa Chang saw Chang Sheng limping out with a bucket in his hand. It seemed that he had just fed the pigs.

"Father?" Chang Sheng was surprised when he saw his father, and asked, "Why are you here?" My father knew it himself, if there was something wrong, he wouldn't have come.

Grandpa Chang nodded, looked around, and asked, "Wen Li and the others?"

"Wen Li went to cut pigweed, brother Yue went to wash clothes, and Shunzi went to the pier with Dahe to load goods today." Chang Sheng put down the bucket, washed his hands, took out a stool from the kitchen and placed it on the bed. Under the eaves, he said, "Father, sit down."

Grandpa Chang sat down and asked, "Why did Shunzi go to move the goods? Didn't Wenli not let him go before?"

Chang Sheng sat down on a small low stool, and said, "I'm already 21, and I won't be able to get married if I don't go out to work and save some money."

Grandpa Chang nodded, "It should have been like this a long time ago. If you don't work, can money fall from the sky? I said before Wen Li, you shouldn't be so spoiled with children, and you are too. My husband can't control it. His mouth is so annoying. How much trouble has he caused, and he also did some nonsense things to embarrass Xiao Le, if it wasn't for the sake of the two children, I would have beaten him."

Chang Sheng looked ashamed, and said, "It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't make money."

Grandpa Chang sighed, looked at the little son, and said sadly: "Your legs are crippled, eyes and heart can't be crippled, it's been more than ten years, you should look forward, it wasn't like this before... ..."

Chang Sheng was told to keep his head down all the time, unable to lift it up at all.

At this time, Wen Li came back with pigweed, and seeing Grandpa Chang at home, she was also surprised and said, "Oh, Dad, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Wen Li came back, Grandpa Chang sighed, waved his hand and said, "Put down the pigweed first, come here and I'll discuss something with you."

Wen Li put down the pigweed, took a stool and sat down, and asked, "What's the matter? Did Yu Qingze agree with Brother Yue?"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chang became very angry, and said angrily: "Don't think about Yu Qingze, isn't it enough to shame people?"

Wen Li was unconvinced, and said: "It's embarrassing, others can talk about kissing, why can't Brother Yue?"

Grandpa Chang was angry: "Brother Yue, brother Yue, what kind of brother Yue has been raised by you, don't you have any idea?"

Wen Li murmured: "Didn't I teach him now, let him correct it, why don't people correct it?"

Grandpa Chang was out of breath, and said: "You said that two years ago! What about now? Brother Yue was ruined by you!"

Wen Li became impatient when she heard that, and said aggrievedly, "Why did I spoil it? I gave birth to him only after a narrow escape, and I almost lost him. Isn't it right to be in pain?"

Speaking of this, Grandpa Chang was at a loss for words for a while, so he could only say: "Which one hurts like you? They have become useless people, who would dare to marry in the future? If Chang Shun marries someone like Brother Yue, you Can you agree?"

Hearing this, Wen Li was unusually silent.

After a long time, Chang Sheng said softly, "Father, what are you doing here?"

"...I was so pissed off by you that I almost forgot the business!" Grandpa Chang said angrily, and then said: "That's the thing, Aze's business is too busy right now, and I want to separate out the Liangpi and give it to you." You do it, see if you want to do it? If you don’t do it, find someone else to do it.”

Wen Li's eyes lit up when she heard that Yu Qingze's Liangpi was about to be divided, and she asked, "How to divide it? Is it a helper's wages, or what?"

Grandpa Chang glanced at him, and replied: "To teach the method, you buy flour and make it yourself, and he buys finished products, can you do it?"

Wen Li's mind was spinning quickly, and he asked, "How much Liangpi can be made from a catty of flour? How much money can I make?"

Grandpa Chang frowned, and said: "I don't know about this. Anyway, Aze said that you can earn two to three Wen per catty of dry Liangpi, which is considered to be the standard. The food stalls need about thirty or forty catties a day. If you If you do it, it will be a lot in a month.”

Wen Li rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, let's do it!"

Seeing him like that, Grandpa Chang didn't know what he was thinking, so he warned first: "Wen Li, let me warn you first, don't play with those crooked thoughts. Yu Qingze is capable. If you do it steadily, Yu Qingze will return to you in the future." There will be other jobs for you, if you do some messy things again and want to make money later, you can just dream."

Wen Li smiled and said, "Oh, Dad, where are you thinking, how could I have other thoughts, you are thinking too much."

Grandpa Chang said unhappily: "Hmph, I'm putting my words here today, and I'll help you this time. If you don't cherish it and mess around with some tricks, even if Yu Qingze is willing to live for you in the future, I won't agree!"

Wen Li's complexion changed, and she said, "Father, you can't bend your elbows, Yu Qingze is an outsider after all."

Grandpa Chang glared and said: "An outsider treats brother Le better than you, you have the face to say it! Let me tell you, if you want to do those messy things to find Xiao Le in the future, don't do Liangpi!"

Wen Li saw that the old man was really angry. In order to make money in the future, she hurriedly said: "Oh, it's okay, dad, I just don't look for it, and besides, I can't find it."

"You still want to find it?!"

"Don't look for it, don't look for it!"

Grandpa Chang stared at Wen Li, and said, "Anyway, I'll give you one chance, and it's also the last time. Whether you want to live a down-to-earth life, you can decide for yourself."

After finishing speaking, Grandpa Chang turned around and left without waiting for Wen Li to say anything else.

In the evening, Yu Qingze saw that Grandpa Chang hadn't returned to his room to sleep very late. When he got up, he found Grandpa Chang sitting in the kitchen smoking a pipe. He walked over and squatted down, and asked, "Grandpa, why aren't you sleeping? Is there something bothering you?"

Grandpa Chang sighed, and said, "It's okay, I just thought about some things from the past, and I can't fall asleep."

Yu Qingze thought that it might be a matter of Uncle Chang Le's family. He had seen Uncle Chang Le in the village a few times before, and he limped one leg, so he asked, "Uncle's leg, why is it lame?"

Grandpa Chang sighed, and said: "It wasn't during the war, or when Xiao Le had an accident. At that time, Xiao Le's father and his grandmother and I went to rescue his youngest, and let Chang Sheng and his wife take care of the child. Who knows Not long after we left, Wen Li was captured by the rebels again. He was four months pregnant at the time, and Chang Sheng let the three children stay where they were. But he was limped by those people. When they came back, they saw Chang Shun alone. So Chang Sheng always felt ashamed of his elder brother's family. For so many years, he dared not come to the door, nor did he dare to see Xiao Le. "

"Later, Wen Li didn't keep the child in her stomach, and her body was still weak. The doctor said that she might not be able to give birth in the future, until she was pregnant with Yue Ge, and it was difficult to give birth. She almost killed two people, so Wen Li Li is especially used to Brother Yue. Chang Sheng also feels that he has not protected Wen Li and the children well, and blames himself very much. Even if Wen Li has done something wrong, he dare not control him."

The old man said that his eyes were wet, he stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and said, "Oh, how did I raise such a cowardly son! It was never like this before..."

Yu Qingze didn't expect such a thing to happen, and sighed: "It turns out to be like this."

There was silence for a while.

When Grandpa Chang recovered, he said, "Ah Ze, I told them today that if something goes wrong, they won't be able to do any work in the future. Just watch their performance first. If If you can't do well, you don't have to worry about me anymore, they should."

Yu Qingze nodded. Originally, he gave them this job for Grandpa Chang's sake, so he said, "I see, Grandpa."

On the second day, the snack cart of Guandong cooking was officially launched.

Yu Qingze set off earlier than Chang Le and the others, and he had to prepare the soup base first.Then Chang Le and Brother Chang also arrived. Grandpa Chang also came to help after Chang Hao went to school. He was afraid that they would be too busy on the first day, so he would go back at noon and herd cattle in the afternoon.

A customer who arrived early saw that they added a snack cart with two square iron grids on it, and asked curiously: "Boss Yu, what new food are you making?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "This one is called Guandong cooking, and it will be available in two quarters of an hour. If you are not busy, you can come and have a look later."

"Alright then, I'll come and have a look at this new food later."

When the soup base is ready, put the grid pot into the groove, transfer the soup base to the grid pot, turn on the stove underneath, remove the fire control patch, and then put other prepared food into the grid to cook.

When most of the food was cooked, and some guests were curious, Yu Qingze asked Brother Chang to make a bowl first, cut it into small pieces with a knife, dipped them in chili sauce, and gave them a taste.

"Yo, is this round one made of meat or flour?"

"Guest, this is called pork balls, it's made of pork, try it."

"Brother, what is this?"

"This is tofu puff. It's delicious. You should try it first."

"what about this?"

"This is gluten, it's delicious, I guarantee you like it."

"..."

In a bowl of food, there are several new things that they have never seen before, and the guests are willing to try new things.

"Well, this kelp tastes very fresh."

"This radish is much tastier than the stewed one at home."

"This tofu puff is delicious and has a lot of soup!"

"These meatballs are delicious."

"..."

"How do you sell this?"

"Guest, two skewers of green vegetables cost a penny, kelp, radish and lotus root slices cost a penny each, tofu skewers soaked in tofu, dried tofu cubes, gluten wild mushrooms, a skewer cost two pennies, and meatballs cost a penny each."

"Hey, isn't it cheap? You see, these meatballs are so small that they cost a penny a piece. There are only three of these tofu sticks."

"Guest, just say, is our taste worth the price? If you can find a second one in the city, Brother Chang, I'll treat you to a bowl of meatballs today!"

"Hahaha, this little brother, the mouth is Triso! All right, give me a string of kelp, a string of tofu, a string of gluten, two, uh, three meatballs!"

"Xingle, guest, wait a moment, come right away."

"Brother, I also want two strings of tofu puffs and two meatballs! Another bowl of jelly!"

"Hey, I'll add a bowl of jelly too!"

"Come on right away, just wait a moment."

"..."

Once someone started to buy it, the people behind him also bought it, wanting to try something new. After they really tasted it, they were captured by the salty and fragrant taste that was better than the ones made at home.

"It's obviously a piece of dried tofu, why is it better than my home's?"

"Don't talk about dried tofu. It's strange that I feel like meat when I eat this tofu puff and gluten."

Yu Qingze smiled, the tofu puffs and gluten are all deep-fried, which can bring a sense of oily satisfaction; moreover, the soup is also meat bone soup, after being cooked and covered with soup, it will be full of "meat" 'The taste.

The food in the two iron grids was quickly sold out, and Yu Qingze quickly made up for it.On such a hot day, cooking and selling at the same time, the business is better than that of cold noodles and cold skin.

After eating the hot ones, many customers will ask for a bowl of jelly to cool down, which is also a set meal.

But when selling this, there is an accounting problem.

In order to quickly distinguish, Yu Qingze specially differentiated the bamboo sticks and marked them with different colors, but Brother Chang was not as fast as modern people to figure it out.Yu Qingze asked Chang Le to be in charge of the cold noodles and cold skin. He came to pack the oden. Every time he filled a bowl, he told Brother Chang how much the bowl cost, and explained to the guests that the bill should be paid when the food is served.

Some customers complained, but many customers still understand that they have to pay anyway, and there is not much difference between giving before and after eating.

Later, Brother Chang was too busy, so Yu Qingze asked the guests to order directly in front of the snack cart, which saved time.

Mi Ge'er would come to their food stall every day to walk around. Today, when he saw the new food, he immediately packed three big bowls and went back.

Ever since eating the dishes made by Yu Qingze, Mrs. Cai and his wife and the second young master of the Cai family recited them every day, and they have become Yu Qingze's loyal customers.Seeing that Mi Geer brought back new food, the three immediately gathered around the table to eat.

There are three big bowls, one bowl is for Mr. Cai and his wife and the second young master, the other bowl is for these little servants, and the last bowl is for Fu Bo and the others.

Seeing the second young master eating one bite after another, Mi Geer quickly swallowed the gluten in his mouth and said, "Second young master, Boss Yu said that you have a weak spleen and stomach so you can't eat more, just one bite of each is enough."

"Ah? But I want to eat it." Cai Yunwei held a bunch of meatballs in his hand and only ate one.

After hearing this, Mr. Cai quickly reached out and snatched the meatball from Cai Yunwei's hand, and said with a smile, "Wei'er is obedient. If Boss Yu says you can't eat more, you can't eat more. I'll help you eat this meatball, be good."

Mrs. Cai gave his wife a sideways glance, saying that, didn't Wei'er want to eat more.

Cai Yunwei watched his grandfather take a bite of each meatball, swallowing his saliva, wanting to eat, feeling wronged.

Although oden is a hot food, its freshness and attractive taste make diners never forget it after tasting it.

When they got home and ate the home-cooked dishes, they suddenly felt that the taste was so bland, and they couldn't swallow it.

Later, someone simply took a food box and went to the Kanto food stall to cook and deliver the food. Many customers asked for more soup to taste.

Some people took the lead, and others followed suit. Later, many people became packers who brought their own food boxes, which saved Yu Qingze and the others a lot of effort in washing dishes and tidying up.

The launch of Oden was another success.

From cold noodle cold noodle, sour bean and sour radish, to salty and sweet jelly, and then to oden cooking, Yuji Yikou fresh food stall has become the hottest food stall in Tongshan City in less than a month.

Although the other small vendors saw the enviousness, they could only be envious. Who can make them always produce fresh food, and everything tastes very good.

This ability can only be envied.

Been busy for a few days.

Yu Qingze found that there were suddenly many lantern sellers on the street in the past two days, not only all kinds of beautiful hanging lanterns, but also the lotus lanterns in water that I saw on TV, and many sellers of colored paper.

Yu Qingze was curious, is this a festival?Is it the Mid-Autumn Festival?I don't know if this is called the Mid-Autumn Festival?

He asked Chang Le: "Brother Le, is it going to be a holiday?"

Chang Le nodded and made a gesture, Yu Qingze guessed: "Women... Brother's Day?"

Chang Le saw that he understood and smiled happily.

Yu Qingze blinked, feeling very happy.Brother Le hasn't smiled with him like this for many days, he always hides when he sees him, and doesn't even meet his eyes.Now he is so happy because he guessed his two gestures correctly.

Simple and cute.

Yu Qingze moved her fingers, wanting to reach out and touch his face, but she held back, if he was scared and retracted again, it would be bad.

Chang Le was stared at by him like this, and when he realized it, his face blushed, and he quickly turned his eyes away, pretending to be busy.

Yu Qingze turned her head with a smile, and said to Brother Chang, "I didn't even notice."

Brother Chang saw the interaction between the two of them just now, smiled slightly, and said, "Boss Yu, you've been too busy these days, you forgot to be normal. I only remembered the day after tomorrow when I saw the lanterns on the street. It's Brother's Day."

Brother's Day, listen to the name, it is a festival specially set up for brothers.

Yu Qingze's heart moved, and he asked Brother Chang: "Brother Chang, is there any event to celebrate then?"

Brother Chang smiled and replied: "Yes, during the day it is more lively than usual. At night, there are lantern festivals in the city, riddle guessing competitions, poetry competitions, juggling, and other fun things. Quite a few."

"Is the city gate closed later than usual? Will you come to the Lantern Festival in previous years?"

"Yes, the gates of the city don't close until 45:[-] p.m. ([-]:[-] p.m.). We come here every year, and it's very lively. You can come too."

Yu Qingze was overjoyed, and announced loudly: "Okay! Let's not open the stall the day after tomorrow, take a day off, and celebrate Brother's Day!"

Brother Chang was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Really? That's great. I also want to say that I will come back to the city after opening the stall. Thank you, Boss Yu!"

"You're welcome, Brother's Day, how can I make you tired!" Yu Qingze said with a smile.

Lantern Festival, this is a great time to confess your date!

How can I miss it!
