The Culinary Tycoon

After the lunch break, Yu Qingze was in the kitchen frying meatballs and tofu puffs, preparing ingredients for tomorrow's Kanto cooking, while Chang Hao was lighting the fire for him.

Grandpa Chang also sobered up after resting for half an hour. He is making moon cakes and will sell them at food stalls tomorrow.Here, moon cakes are not a special snack for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they can be sold as snacks.

When Yu Qingze's meatballs and tofu puffs were ready, Chang Lexing hadn't been seen yet.He looked at the sky, no matter what, he had slept for three hours, and he could prepare dinner later.

Are you that drunk?Next time, let him not drink so much, two small cups at most.Yu Qingze secretly set a drinking limit for Chang Le in his heart.

Is Chang Le still sleeping?

He woke up early and was just too embarrassed to go out.

As soon as he woke up, the dizziness after drinking was relieved a lot, and he became sober.Then, the scene before going to bed gradually recalled.

He drank too much during lunch, and Brother Yu helped him back to the room to lie down; then, Brother Yu fed him water, but he stopped him when he was about to go out; and then, he seemed to say something to Brother Yu?

——I fell asleep and you left?

—Wait until I fall asleep before leaving.

Chang Le covered his face, how could he say such bold words? !

Isn't this asking Brother Yu to sleep with him? !

shameful.So shameful.

then……

He remembered that after saying that sentence, Big Brother Yu bit himself, it was... his lip?

lip!

Chang Le stared at the top of the tent with wide eyes, and reached out to touch her lower lip in a daze.He still vaguely remembered the slight pain when his lower lip was sucked...

His face turned red all of a sudden.

It wasn't a bite, it was a kiss.

Brother Yu kissed him, not between the eyebrows like before, but on his lips.

first kiss.

Chang Le's face was about to burst into red, and she covered her face in shame and turned sideways to shrink into a ball, trying to get herself into a ball so as not to see anyone anymore.

Just like a little turtle that was frightened by tourists, it was so frightened that it retracted its head into the turtle shell, and dared not look out for a long time.

After a while, Chang Le opened his hands, moved them down slowly, stroked his lower lip with his index finger, rubbed it slowly, the corners of his mouth curled up again, and smiled silly.

He kissed Brother Yu.

Hey, hey, hey...

The next moment, he frowned again.What a pity, I was dizzy at that time, and I was not very sober, I only remembered a little bit.

Then, he suddenly remembered the question he asked stupidly.

—Why did you bite me?

— not to bite you.

Ahhh, going crazy!

Chang Le's heart collapsed, he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to go back to that time and strangle himself to death for asking such a stupid question.

How can I see you again, Brother Yu?

I'm afraid I'll die of shame!

After a long time, Chang Le didn't have the courage to open the door and step out. She felt a little urgent to pee, and she couldn't go out.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Chang Hao's voice sounded outside.

"Brother, brother? Are you awake? It's time to get up. Are you still dizzy? Brother Yu said that if you still feel dizzy, get up and drink some sober soup and take a walk."

Chang Le: ...Is it okay to pretend to be asleep?

Seeing that his brother hadn't come to open the door for a long time, Chang Hao knocked again, making sure to wake him up. "Brother, get up quickly, we'll go to see the lanterns after dinner. Are you uncomfortable? If you don't open the door again, I, I will go in?"

Afraid that his brother would not be able to get out of bed and open the door because his brother was uncomfortable, and his brother would be silent again, and he would not be able to call for help if he was uncomfortable, so Chang Hao became a little anxious.

Hearing that his younger brother was coming in, Chang Le quickly got up, put on his shoes, and went to open the door.

Seeing that the door opened, Chang Hao heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at his brother. Except for a little blushing, everything else was fine, so he asked, "Brother, are you still dizzy when you get up?"

Chang Le gestured: "There is still a little bit."

Chang Hao said: "You drink too much, look at you, your face is still so red. Brother Yu made you hangover soup, come and drink."

Chang Le nodded, letting his younger brother go first, and he combed his hair.

After dawdling for a long time, Chang Le first went to the latrine to solve his internal emergency, and finally bit the bullet and went to the kitchen.

There were only Yu Qingze and Chang Hao in the kitchen. Chang Hao was cooking and stewing beef brisket in front of the stove. Grandpa Chang went to the field to see the water.

Yu Qingze was preparing dinner. When he saw Chang Le, he smiled and asked, "Are you awake? Are you still dizzy? There is seaweed soup in the pot, drink some hangover."

Seeing that Yu Qingze didn't mention the previous incident, Chang Le heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, washed his hands, and then filled a bowl of kelp soup and drank it.However, he still didn't dare to look at Yu Qingze, so he took it to the door and drank it.

Seeing this, Yu Qingze twitched his lips. Brother Le was shy, so he must have remembered.But of course he won't mention it now. He still has some emotional intelligence. If he mentions it, Brother Le won't kiss him after being shy, so what should he do?

Although shy, there are new dishes to learn tonight. After finishing the soup, Chang Le bit the bullet and went to Yu Qingze's side to learn how to cook.

Because there are a lot of dishes at noon, there are some leftovers. In the evening, I only cook radish stewed beef brisket and stir-fried wild pork, and add green vegetables.

Because the stewed beef brisket needs to be stewed for a long time, Yu Qingze has already finished stewing it. During the time when Chang Lemo was tangled in the room, the stewed beef brisket was almost done.He asked Chang Le to make the remaining fried wild pork.

After entering the state of cooking, Chang Le's whole expression changed obviously, he became more focused, and the previous shyness disappeared.

After dinner, a few people set off to watch the lanterns in the city.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lantern festival on this day was even more lively than the previous ones for Brother’s Day, and there were people everywhere.

The last time the Lantern Festival was the time when the two confessed to each other, they didn't have so much fun afterwards.On this day, together with Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao, they visited the east and west, north and south streets of the entire lantern festival. They also went to the river to put lanterns together, having a great time.

When they got home, they sat in the yard together, watched the moon and ate moon cakes, reunion cakes and grapefruit.

There is a cool breeze, and the bright moon is in the sky.

They had a warm and happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yu Qingze looked at Chang Le beside him, and then at Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao. He was very happy. Since his grandfather passed away, he hadn't had such a satisfying holiday for more than ten years.Although the material conditions here are poor, compared with the 12 years he lived alone, this place obviously makes him feel more spiritually satisfied and moved.

The next day, Yu Qingze didn't go out to set up the stall, but asked Chang Le and Chang Le and his father to help.

Today, he is going to the village chief to take him to Lizheng's house to discuss about buying land and naturalizing.

After sending Chang Le and the others away, he took some gifts and went to the village chief's house.When he came to deliver the gift the day before yesterday, he mentioned to the village head that he would be asked to take him to work today, so the village head had dinner early and was waiting for him.

Lizheng's home is in a neighboring village, separated from Niutou Village by a mountain.

Li was a man in his 40s, and he happened to be at home when Yu Qingze and the others arrived.

The village head handed over the gift that Yu Qingze had brought, and told Lizheng about his visit.

Li Zheng looked at the gift in his hand, smiled, put it on the table beside him, then glanced at Yu Qingze again, and asked, "Where are you from before? How did you get here?"

Yu Qingze casually mentioned a very remote place in the north that he had heard from the merchant, and then explained the reason he had previously told Le Geer's family and the village chief.

After Li Zheng heard him say that the household registration certificate had been lost along with the luggage on the road, he frowned and said, "Well, your household registration wooden plate is missing, so it's a bit difficult to deal with."

Yu Qingze asked, "Li Zheng, what should I do in this situation?"

Lizheng thought for a while and said: "Originally, if you have a household registration certificate, you can buy a piece of land and record it in the handbook. I will create a registration for you based on the handbook, and then go to the county government to verify the registration, and finally handle the tax payment." Register, and then the county government will apply for a household registration wooden card for you. But now that your original wooden card is lost, you have to go to the county government to apply for it.”

Yu Qingze frowned and asked, "If you go to the county government office, what can you say?"

Lizheng sighed, looked at the village chief, then lowered his voice, and said, "Old Yu is also one of us, a fellow from the village, so I'll just say it straight. Because you don't have a household registration plate, the officials can treat you as a refugee at any time. Arrested. So, when you go to the county government office, you have to make some preparations and clear up the relationship."

Yu Qingze asked: "How much do you need to prepare? Is there anything particular about it? If they do this, do they need some names?"

Li Zheng glanced at him in surprise, and said: "You are a smart man, so I'll tell you straight. Originally, besides our villagers' own and some big households' own fields, many of our fields were in the It’s in the hands of the government. The government’s price for our land here is 50 taels for good land, and 30 taels for lesser ones. Lao Yu should have told you, right?”

The village chief nodded, and Yu Qingze also nodded, saying: "I know this, and I happened to have saved enough money to buy the fields before I came to you Lizheng."

Li Zheng sighed, and said, "If you only prepared 50 taels, you don't need to go, just save another one."

Yu Qingze frowned and said, "How much does it take?"

Li Zheng stretched out his hand and made a sign of eight.

"eighty?"

Li Zheng nodded.

Yu Qingze asked: "What if I buy a field from a private landlord?"

Lizheng shook his head: "You can only buy land from the government. You don't have a wooden sign, even if someone sells the land to you, you still need a household registration wooden sign to go to the government to apply for a red deed. Without a red deed, there is no way to apply for a land deed." naturalized."

Yu Qingze: ...an endless loop.

"How do those who have no land of their own and can only rent land apply for household registration?"

"Those are all people from here. Those who are not from here, and can't buy land, are not allowed to be naturalized now, and they are all sent back to their original places."

Yu Qingze: ...

Li Chang sighed, and said: "Tongshan City is prosperous, and the naturalization requirements are much stricter than other places. Like Niutou Village, you know that there are more than a dozen households who moved here later, and the dozen or so households with the surname Chang are all Zhan Luan Gang When they recovered, the imperial court issued a special decree to appease the refugees and resettle them, so they could get land for free to settle here, otherwise, they would have to be repatriated.”

Speaking of this, the village head also sighed with emotion, and said: "The price of this field is getting more and more expensive. Five years ago, it was still 35 taels of good land. Now, alas..."

"Hush!" Li Zheng glared at the village head, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The village head immediately sat upright, nodded and said: "Yes, I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

Yu Qingze glanced at the two of them, and when he heard them say five years ago, he immediately understood.

If he remembers correctly, he remembered that eight years ago, Mr. Cai Wendong was still the magistrate. At that time, it was 35 taels of silver per mu of land, but later it was mentioned that 50 taels. This issue must have something to do with the current county magistrate.

However, regardless of the price, he still has to be naturalized.

Yu Qingze then said to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, besides the 80 taels for buying land, can I be naturalized? Do I need to prepare anything else?"

Li Zheng glanced at him, and said: "If you buy a field from the government, they will handle the land deed for you, and they won't bother you to ask for the original household registration wooden card, but it takes a long time to apply for the red contract and the household registration wooden card." Two silver coins. Others, if you have, you can prepare some broken silver and give tea to the officials who handle the affairs, and they will naturally handle it for you."

After hearing the words, Yu Qingze asked again: "After the naturalization is completed, what about the homestead?"

Li Zheng replied: "When you come to our countryside and have a household registration, you can allocate homesteads according to the size of your family. If you come to the city, you have to buy the homesteads yourself. In our countryside, less than five people are half an mu. Up to eight people is one mu, and eight to ten people is one and a half mu. Then you can apply to the village yourself and get the consent of the villagers. How many people do you have in your family?"

Yu Qingze replied: "One person."

"That's half an acre. If you want to build a bigger house, you have to buy the extra land. One mu of land is ten taels of silver. You don't need to go through the government. I can do it here. When the house is built, you can go to the government to handle it." Just a deed."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze said: "I see, Li Zheng, the village head, please take me to the county government to apply for naturalization."
