The Culinary Tycoon

When Yu Qingze and the village chief heard that this person was the county magistrate, they quickly saluted and said, "The grass people have seen you."

When the three of them saw Mr. Xiancheng, they were all stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with their heads lowered.

Didn't it mean that the chief secretary was discussing something urgent with the county magistrate?But the county magistrate is clearly in front of them.

The three of them also realized this, the little official was probably looking for an excuse, and he didn't know if the head book slipped away, or did he deliberately not see them and delay not doing it for them?

The county magistrate looked younger than the master, probably about 35 or [-]. When he saw Li Zheng, he saw a familiar face, and remembered which Li Zheng might be below, so he nodded lightly and asked casually: "No How polite. Do fellow villagers come to the county government to do business?"

The head of the village replied: "My lord, let's handle the household registration."

"Is it done?" Hearing that it was for household registration, the county magistrate took a look at the village chief and Yu Qingze. When he saw Yu Qingze, he was surprised and took a few more glances.

Li Zheng raised his head slightly, and said: "Master, it's not finished yet. It just so happens that the master is busy with something, and Caomin will come to handle it tomorrow."

When the county magistrate heard that the master was not there, he replied: "That's it, then there's nothing we can do. Let's make another trip tomorrow, folks."

Ri is right.The county magistrate went in.

After leaving the yamen, they walked to a remote corner, and Li Zheng pulled the two of them aside and said, "Ah Ze, you may need to prepare more money tomorrow."

The village head also said: "Yes, the master secretary is obviously not with the county magistrate, it is obviously an excuse, and it is probably not beneficial."

Yu Qingze originally thought so in his heart, but if it was for the benefit, then the petty official would not refuse the broken money he stuffed, but now he doesn't know what the situation is, so he can only try this first.

"That's all."

At the crossroads, Yu Qingze said to Li Zheng and the village chief: "Li Zheng, village chief, I'll go talk to Brother Le first, and we'll go back."

Li Zheng said: "You go to the food stall, I think they are very busy, Lao Yu and I will go back first when we have nothing to do."

Yu Qingze hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll just go and talk. It's agreed to go to Brother Le's house to try my handicrafts tonight, and I'll go back together later."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "There's no rush, it won't be too late to eat after the household registration is completed."

"This……"

The village chief also said: "It's okay, Aze, you can go to work first, the household registration is completed, and Li Zheng and I will be there on call, within a day or two." If things are not done well, how can they have the nerve to go to dinner? .

Li Zheng also said, "That's the reason."

Yu Qingze said helplessly: "That's the way, it's just hard work for the two of you to make this trip."

"It's okay, let's go first, go ahead."

After separating from Li Zheng and the village chief, Yu Qingze went to the food stall.

Chang Le saw that Yu Qingze was frowning, and asked him if things were not going well.

Yu Qingze didn't want Chang Le to worry about it, so he said, "Well, the master is not here this afternoon, we'll go tomorrow."

After hearing this, Chang Le thought it was ordinary people who were not there, so she didn't ask again, and instead asked Li Zheng and the village chief.Yu Qingze told him that the village head and the others went back first, and said that they would eat after the household registration was completed.

Chang Le understood and went to work.

Not long after, Boss Liu saw Yu Qingze at the food stall and sent his son to invite him over to have a taste.

Yu Qingze passed by.

Boss Liu and the others made soup and stir-fried sliced ​​noodles that hadn't passed the test before, and gave him a try.They were busy with business a few days ago, so they didn't pay attention to the sliced ​​noodles. Now they specially choose to practice when there are few customers.

"Well, the soup is okay, but the fried one has been fried for a long time, it is a bit mushy, the time can be shortened." Yu Qingze said after tasting it.

Boss Liu and the others listened and took notes.

After Yu Qingze finished speaking, he stopped talking, frowning and thinking about things.

Seeing that he was not in a good mood today, Boss Liu asked, "I heard that you went to work in the morning, and things didn't go well?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said, "I went to the county office today. It went smoothly in the morning, but in the afternoon, the Master Registrar avoided seeing it. It didn't work out at all."

Hearing Master Master, Boss Liu slapped the table loudly, and said angrily, "It must be that Fatty Wang!"

"Oh, my dear father, don't let others hear you shouting so loudly." Boss Liu looked out of the kitchen door in horror, and closed the door tightly.

Yu Qingze was also taken aback. Hearing Boss Liu's words, he remembered what Boss Liu and Boss Wang said when they quarreled at the grain and oil store, and asked, "Brother, what's the matter between this master and that Boss Wang?" relation?"

Boss Liu sat down and said, "The master is his brother-in-law."

Yu Qingze: ... No wonder!

Boss Liu sighed, and said: "This Fatty Wang relied on his brother-in-law as the head of the county government. He had bought several noodle restaurants before, and the owners of those noodle restaurants did not dare to offend him. Changed career. Speaking of which, if my brother-in-law hadn’t been a classmate of Mr. Cai’s son-in-law, I wouldn’t have been able to do this noodle shop long ago.”

Yu Qingze asked again: "What about the other two noodle restaurants on this street?"

Boss Liu glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Those who can open a shop on this street must have some kind of relationship, otherwise they would have been squeezed out by others. It's like a shop on Dongxi Street. We also have to make good connections, otherwise we will not be able to operate in this city at all, or we can only do small business in small alleys. The small noodle restaurants in my family could only be opened in small alleys before, and there was not much business. It was my brother-in-law who bought this store for us. Alas, it is also thanks to him."

"..." Yu Qingze sighed, and said, "I still want to open a snack bar on this street."

Boss Liu approached him and whispered: "As long as you maintain a good relationship with Cai's mansion, whether you open a food stall or a snack bar, Fatty Wang won't dare to touch you, at least he won't dare to touch you openly. Others will also look at Cai. The face of the government."

Yu Qingze sighed lightly, and said, "Thank you brother for your suggestion, that's all I can do."

"Speaking of which, Fatty Wang knows your relationship with the Cai Mansion, so why would he make things difficult for you?"

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe you want to... teach me a lesson?"

Boss Liu: ...

"However, these things are not a last resort. If I can handle them myself, I don't want to bother the Cai Mansion. It's not good to owe favors."

Boss Liu thinks so.

On the other side, after the county magistrate entered the yamen, he walked into his office room and saw his colleagues across the street drinking tea and reading in his room, so he asked, "So you are here. I'll go back when you're not here."

"My lord, you are here." Seeing the county magistrate coming, the master hurriedly got up, and when he heard the few people he met, his heart tightened, and he quickly found an excuse to explain: "The lower official has been here this afternoon. While waiting for you, I want to discuss with you about the taxation of the autumn harvest."

The county magistrate glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? It's just across the way, and you still need to come here to wait for me?"

The chief secretary bowed his head and replied, "I'm afraid I'll miss your lord if I focus too much on it."

The county magistrate sneered, and then asked: "What are those people here for?"

The master secretary replied: "Reporting to my lord, there are several people who came to deal with the purchase of official land and naturalization in the morning. I think it should be those few people."

"The one who wants to be naturalized is the young one?"

The chief bookkeeper replied: "Yes."

"Naturalization without a license?"

"Yes."

"But the surname is Yu?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, the county magistrate's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "My lord, do you know that there is a famous food stall on the North Street recently?"

Hearing the words, the master raised his head and replied, "I've heard of it before." His husband also went to pack food and go home, and he ate it too, and it tasted very good.

The county magistrate said again: "Then you know, who is the name of the food stall owner?"

The chief bookkeeper shook his head, "I never cared about it."

The county magistrate continued: "Then do you know that the strange illness of the Second Young Master of the Cai Mansion has been rumored to have improved in the city recently, has anyone cured it?"

The master continued to shake his head, but an ominous premonition floated in his heart.

The county magistrate glanced at him, stopped talking, changed the subject, and said: "The county magistrate is also very concerned about the taxes for this year's autumn harvest. My lord, please tell me your opinion first."

Hearing the words, the chief bookkeeper first put away the doubts in his heart, and talked about the taxation issue again.

The county magistrate said: "This is exactly the same as what you said during the summer harvest."

When the master heard the words, he bowed his head and remained silent.

This was originally an excuse made by the director. Naturally, there is nothing new, just picking up what has been said before and saying it again, it is just a cliché.

The magistrate said: "Okay, you go back and think about the tax issue."

Master Master nodded repeatedly and was about to back down.

"Besides," the county magistrate stopped him again, and said, "My lord, when those people come over to do business tomorrow, they can handle it well, so as not to implicate the entire county government."

Originally, he didn't want to remind this colleague, but the county magistrate was afraid that something might go wrong with him, and the entire county government might be affected, so he reluctantly said a few more words.

Back then when he heard that a food stall owner had cured the second young master of the Cai Mansion's strange disease, he went to North Street to see it. He recognized the young man when he saw it just now.A few days ago, the Cai Mansion sent moon cakes made by this food stall to eat as gifts for each family.Before that, he heard a report from a family member that the Cai Mansion had invited him to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which shows how much the Cai Mansion attaches importance to this food stall owner.

But he didn't expect that the master still deliberately left him alone all afternoon, did he really not want to go up?It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to be promoted, but he still wants to be promoted.

Moreover, only some internal personnel and some of the lower officials who have handled the matter of naturalization without a license know about it. The county magistrate is firmly on guard against Cai's family knowing, just for fear of something going wrong. It's good for him to make things difficult for this and Cai's family. People who have a close relationship really don't know how they died.

snort.The county magistrate snorted coldly in his heart, and thought sinisterly, the state government might have known about this a long time ago, but he had no time to rectify it. Anyway, he strongly opposed this matter at the time. If something happened, he said Maybe it's my own chance?

Alas, it's hard to say whether it can be washed off, maybe it's bad luck.The county magistrate sighed again and extinguished his luck. He only hoped that the master would be smarter.

In the evening, the master went to Boss Wang's house and asked about the food stall. He was so angry that he vomited blood.

Pointing at his nephew, he cursed, "Why didn't you tell me the relationship between that man and the Cai Mansion?! Did you get kicked out of your head by a donkey! Let me make things difficult for that Yu, and when he comes to the Cai Mansion to raise Then one or two sentences, and I'm done!"

Boss Wang found out the reason, and he wanted to teach his unworthy son a lesson, but he was stopped by his husband.

The master secretary became angry, and said: "Don't come to me again for your affairs in the future!" Then he turned and slammed the door and left.

Early the next morning, even though Yu Qingze knew about the relationship between the master and Boss Wang, his household registration still had to be done, so he came with the village chief.

He was prepared in his heart for all kinds of troubles or hemorrhage in his wallet, but when he arrived in the room yesterday, he saw the suddenly enthusiastic face of the master who had avoided seeing him yesterday.

"Hey, you guys are here. I'm really sorry. The officer went out on some urgent business yesterday. My subordinates have already told me. Come on, this is the completed household registration card. Other procedures have been completed. Come to him Just sign there and put a fingerprint on it." The master bookkeeper personally handed Yu Qingze's registered household registration wooden card to him, and his attitude was as enthusiastic as it was genuine, as sincere as it could be.

Yu Qingze: ...

Li Zhenghe and the village head: ...

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't realize this miraculous change. However, since the household registration is done, that's fine.

"Thank you, my lord." Yu Qingze vaguely guessed in his heart that the master's attitude towards them was still business-like yesterday morning, but it changed in the afternoon. Maybe something happened at noon?Then it changed again now, maybe he didn't know that he had such a relationship with the Cai Mansion yesterday at noon, and then he knew it again at night?So the attitude changed?

However, no matter what, this is the best result.

He took the household registration wooden sign, signed it with the small official who handled the household registration, and pressed his fingerprints, and the household registration was completed.

The three of them were still a little dazed until they left the Yamen.

The village chief glanced behind him and asked in confusion, "Why is it suddenly so good again today?"

Li Zheng also shook his head, and said, "I don't know. Sigh, these people are beyond our comprehension. Anyway, it's good to have a household registration."

Yu Qingze nodded, and said, "Li Zheng is right, as long as things are done well."

The three of them walked to the food stall, and Yu Qingze told Chang Le the good news, and showed him the household registration wooden sign.

Chang Le looked at the brand-new household registration wooden sign, as if his own household registration had been completed, he was very happy, and gestured to his fellow Yu Qingze to congratulate her.

Brother Chang and his father congratulated him when they knew that he had accomplished his work.

Yu Qingze thanked them with a smile, and then he said to Chang Le: "I still have to go back beforehand, you can close the stall early today, and invite Li Zheng and the village chief to have dinner tonight."

Chang Le smiled and nodded in agreement.

On the way back, Yu Qingze asked the village chief: "Village chief, is Liao Mei the village in our village? Also, if you propose marriage in the village, what gifts do you need to buy?"

The village head was surprised: "You want to propose marriage?"

Yu Qingze touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Yes."

The village head asked with a smile: "Which brother do you like?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Brother Le."

"Brother Le?" The village chief's eyes widened, and after thinking about it, he felt that it should be taken for granted.Yu Qingze was rescued by Le Geer at the beginning, and he has been living in his house since then. It is not surprising that the two get along with each other in the past.

He nodded and said: "Brother Le is not bad, he is a good brother."

Yu Qingze was happy when he heard that the village head praised Brother Le, and he laughed.

The village head glanced at him, and said: "Liao Meima is in the small village behind their village. What kind of gifts do you want for marriage? See how much money you have prepared. Then the matchmaker will tell you. There are no villages in the countryside. So much attention, generally if you have money, prepare more, if you don’t have so much money, prepare less, it all depends on your own situation. Moreover, I don’t think Brother Le’s family will care about the amount of gifts and gift money.”

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Thank you village chief, I understand."

After returning, Yu Qingze invited the village chief and Li Zheng to come over for dinner at night, then he went back to have lunch, and went to Liao Meimo's house immediately in the afternoon.

After negotiating with Liao Meimo, he immediately went to the city to buy all the gifts he needed, bought vegetables and went home.

Afterwards, he put the gift at the village head's house in advance, and when he went to pick it up, he asked the village head's house to keep it secret for him.All this, he kept it from Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao's eyes, and he didn't let them know. Of course, Chang Le was busy at the food stall, so he didn't know even more.

In the evening, Yu Qingze cooked a table of good dishes to thank Li Zheng and the village head for their help.

Li Zheng and the village head tasted the dishes made by Yu Qingze, and they were very surprised. They couldn't leave their chopsticks, they were satisfied, their belly was round, and they went home happily.

After the village chief and the others went back, Yu Qingze went to Brother Chang's house and told them that they would not leave the stall tomorrow, and when they got home, he told Chang Le and the others that they would not leave the stall tomorrow and take a day off.

Several people were still surprised, but Yu Qingze made a decision, so they nodded.

The next day, after breakfast, Chang Le went to the creek to wash his clothes and came back. When he entered the room, he saw Liao Meima sitting in the main room, talking to his grandfather.

His heart skipped a beat.

No, Liao Mei is here to propose marriage to Brother Yu again!
