The Culinary Tycoon

When the boy left, Yu Qingze asked the youngest next to him: "Youngest, do you know this kid?"

The youngest nodded and said, "Yes, the one who lives in the same alley as us is also a poor child, alas."

Yu Qingze asked: "What's the matter? I saw him go to the clinic to seek medical treatment for his grandma yesterday. According to the doctor, he might not last long."

The youngest Huang nodded and sighed: "Yes, I have been ill for a long time. I heard from my son last night that the doctor said it was only a day or two."

As he said that, the youngest Huang told Yu Qingze and Chang Le about the boy.

The boy's name is Tian Jiabao. He followed his aunt to Tongshan City about seven or eight years ago. No one knew where they were from. They never told anyone. The two rented a room in the most dilapidated alley in the West City. house to stay.

He went out to work during the day, washed clothes for people at night, and did some needlework to support the family, barely making ends meet.Jiabao is also a sensible person. When he grows up, when he is about seven or eight years old, he starts to run errands and deliver letters for others, and when he is in his teens, he goes to restaurants to wash dishes for others, and does everything. The wages are less, and they can't make much money.

In the past two years, he was overworked and fell ill, and the disease was severe. After seeing many doctors and taking medicine, he could not get better, so he had to take it slowly.His grandma knew that he would drag the child down, so he refused to take medicine, but Jiabao didn't care how his grandma made trouble, and still took medicine on time and made medicine every day.He couldn't be more stubborn than him, so he could only drink the medicine in the end.

Gradually, the little money the family had originally saved was spent on medicines.Later, the young boy heard that the work at the dock was very profitable, so he went to the dock, but he was small and weak, and the money he earned every day was still limited.He also borrowed a little from the people around him, but the people around him were in similar conditions, so there was no extra money to borrow.However, as soon as he saved enough money, he went to get medicine for his aunt. He often only ate two steamed buns a day to fill his stomach, and he fainted from hunger several times at the pier.

Now, his aunt's body has reached the point of exhaustion.

After Huang Laoyou finished speaking, he sighed and said: "The child is a good boy, but his life is hard. His grandma is also a good husband. He looks gentle and gentle. I heard that he can read. Who would have thought... ...Alas, they are all hard-working people."

Yu Qingze and Chang Le both sighed after hearing this, they never thought that the child's life would be so difficult.

The youngest Huang sighed again and said, "The Liangpi he bought from you must have been bought for his grandma, probably because he wanted his grandma to try this new food."

Yu Qingze sighed, and didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.

In the middle of the afternoon, the sky became overcast, and then it started to rain.

Half an hour later, seeing that the rain still didn't stop, and there were no customers when it rained, Yu Qingze asked Brother Chang and Brother Le to close the stall and go home early.

When the three of them were wearing coir raincoats, carts, snack carts and carts to the gate of the west city, they met a few people coming out of a side alley.

The two people in front were wearing coir raincoats and were carrying a stretcher that was simply tied up with branches, on which was a corpse wrapped in a straw mat. Behind them was a man wearing coir raincoats and carrying three shovels.There was also a boy who didn't hold an umbrella, didn't wear a coir raincoat, and didn't even wear a bamboo hat, just followed behind in the rain.

Chang Le stopped, looked at Yu Qingze, and motioned him to look over there.

Yu Qingze looked over and recognized at a glance that the boy following behind was Tian Jiabao who bought Liangpi with them in the morning.

He was just like what the doctor said, but he couldn't make it through.

The boy's eyes were red, and he couldn't tell whether it was his tears or the rain on his face. He just stared blankly at Ah Mo on the stretcher, and followed the two uncles in front of him dumbly.

Chang Le couldn't bear it, took a bamboo hat, chased after him, and put the hat on the boy.

The young man raised his head numbly, and saw Chang Le, his eyes showed some doubts, and he didn't know if he recognized him. When Chang Le fastened the rope of his bamboo hat, he saw the person carrying his aunt walking away in front of him, and he panicked. Now, run over to catch up, and follow closely.

Before leaving the city gate, he glanced back, and soon turned his head and walked away.

"Brother Le, let's go." Yu Qingze came over, reached out to pat Chang Le's shoulder, and took his hand back.

The three of them went home in silence all the way.Brother Chang also knew about the boy, and he was very emotional in his heart.

Throughout the night, Chang Le didn't have much energy and didn't eat much.Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao were both worried about him and asked what was going on.

Seeing that Brother Le was silent, Yu Qingze told Grandpa Chang and Chang Le about the day's events.

After hearing this, Chang Hao widened his eyes and asked, "Is that the little brother we met yesterday, is he?"

Yu Qingze nodded.

Chang Hao also fell silent when he heard the words.

Grandpa Chang sighed, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Chang Le was depressed, Yu Qingze was afraid that he would be even more sad when he thought of his father's death.

Chang Le was soft-hearted, and Yu Qingze knew that he definitely wanted to help this poor boy, but he didn't know how.

Yu Qingze thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, Brother Le, there are only three of us and Brother Chang at the food stall, and we are also very busy. In a few days, we will be making Zhao Fu's dim sum, and after that, I plan to make another snack." One needs to hire a helper to eat. I think, why don't we invite Tian Jiabao to work, let him entertain the guests, and also help wash the dishes. Try it for a few days. If the other person is clever and suitable, then give him sixty coins a day If it is not suitable for entertaining guests, let him help wash the dishes and do some chores, just fifty yuan a day, what do you think?"

When Chang Le heard it, his eyes lit up, he turned his head to stare at Yu Qingze, and nodded vigorously.Strongly Agree!

"Yes." Grandpa Chang also agreed.

Chang Hao also nodded when he heard the words, and said, "In that case, little brother won't have to work at the dock in the future."

Yu Qingze nodded and said: "In addition, Brother Chang is very capable, hardworking and smart. I plan to give him some extra wages. When we open a snack bar in the future, I will train him to be a small steward. If there are more helpers in the future, he will You can also help with management. Grandpa, look, how about it?"

Grandpa Chang nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Chang is reliable."

"Grandpa, do you think it's appropriate to add this salary?"

Grandpa Chang waved his hand and said, "You are better at this than us, you can add as much as you want."

Yu Qingze looked at Chang Le, and Chang Le also nodded.

Yu Qingze thought for a while and said, "Then add it to [-] Wen a day. What do you think?"

Both Grandpa Chang and Chang Le nodded in agreement.

After the matter was finalized, Yu Qingze touched Brother Le's head and said, "Don't worry, huh?"

Chang Le blushed a little and nodded.

Chang Hao and Grandpa Chang laughed silently.

The next day, Yu Qingze told Brother Chang about the wage increase.

Brother Chang was very happy, he started to work harder, he was smiling all morning, and the guests all teased him if something good happened to him.Brother Chang also answered the happy event with a smile.

Yu Qingze asked Huang Laoyao about what happened to Tian Jiabao's house yesterday.Huang Laoyao said that Tian Jiabao didn't have the money to hire someone to bury him, he didn't even have the money to buy a coffin for his grandma, so the man from the neighbor helped him carry his grandma outside the city to bury him.

After returning, a kind neighbor brought him food, but in the morning, the food was still there, and he kept sitting on the bed holding his aunt's tablet.

"Oh, sorry to see you, he will be alone in the future, and I don't know what to do." The youngest Huang sighed.

After hearing this, Yu Qingze said to the youngest Huang: "Youngest, when the stall is closed in the afternoon, can you take me to his house? I have something to ask him."

Upon hearing this, the youngest Huang asked, "What do you want from him?"

Yu Qingze said: "I want to find a helper. I think he is quite suitable. I want to talk to him and see if he is willing to come to my food stall as a helper."

Hearing this, the youngest Huang immediately said happily: "Okay, I'll take you there when the stall is closed. I didn't tell you, Boss Yu, this kid is very hardworking, he can do all kinds of work at home, and he can't do it outside. Work less, very capable."

Yu Qingze said: "That's the best."

"Boss Yu, you are really a good person."

"..."

But before closing the stall in the afternoon, Tian Jiabao arrived at their food stall at noon.

With his head down, holding a bamboo hat in one hand and something in the front of his clothes in the other, he walked in front of Yu Qingze with his head down.

Yu Qingze was a little surprised when he saw him, and said, "I was looking for you. Your name is Tian Jiabao, right? Are you okay?"

Chang Le saw him and looked up at them.

The young man raised his lowered head, his eyes were red and swollen, and there was only a slit left of the big eyes.

"Old, boss, I'm sorry, I accidentally broke your bowl. I, I don't have the money to buy one to compensate you now, me," the young boy looked around anxiously, seeing that there was work to wash dishes, He hurriedly said: "Can I compensate you for washing the dishes? I can wash the dishes and do other jobs. Can I use my work to pay off the debt?"

Hearing this, Yu Qingze finally saw clearly that what he was pocketing in his front were the fragments of the bowl.He smiled, and nodded inwardly. This young man's character is not bad, he said: "You don't need to pay now, I want you to do the work for me, wash the dishes, greet guests and so on, try it out for a few days, five days a day." Ten pennies, would you like to do it?"

The young boy stared wide-eyed, looking at the boss in front of him in disbelief.

"How? Are you willing?" Yu Qingze asked patiently again.

The young boy nodded blankly and said, "Yes, yes."

Yu Qingze touched his head and introduced Chang Le and Brother Chang to him: "My name is Yu Qingze, you can call me Boss Yu or Big Brother Yu, Chang Le is washing the dishes, and the one who greets the guests is Chang Chang."

The young boy didn't see that it was Chang Le who was cleaning the dishes, but now he saw that he was the elder brother who gave him the bamboo hat yesterday, his eyes lit up, he walked up to him, handed the bamboo hat to him, and said, "Brother Chang Le, this It's your bamboo hat, thank you." With that said, the young boy bowed to Chang Le.

Chang Le wiped his hands and took the hat, and shook his hand to express his thanks.

Yu Qingze beckoned the boy over and said, "Brother Le is speechless, if you don't understand anything, just ask Brother Chang and me."

When the young boy heard that Chang Le couldn't speak, he showed surprise and understanding. No wonder before...

"You can go home and rest today, and you can just come here at Chenshi tomorrow." Yu Qingze confessed.

The little boy nodded and turned to leave, but Yu Qingze stopped him again.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

Hearing this, the young boy covered his stomach and shook his head.

He bought Liangpi at noon yesterday and went back to find that he was out of breath, and he hasn't eaten since then.

He can't eat it.Thinking of Ah Mo makes me cry.

Yu Qingze looked at him, said something to Chang Le, and then led the boy to Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant. "Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Give him warm, digestible food.

"Boss Yu, I, I can't eat. Also, I don't have any money." When the young boy heard that he was going to eat, he hurriedly stopped, and anxiously explained to Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze turned to him and asked, "Did you not eat since yesterday?"

The young boy looked at Yu Qingze in surprise, and nodded slightly.

Yu Qingze said: "Then you didn't eat and fainted, how can you still work?"

Little boy: "..."

"Let's go, our lunch at the food stall is included, and it doesn't cost money."

The young boy was dragged into the noodle restaurant, and Yu Qingze pressed him on an empty table, and was told to wait, and then he saw Boss Yu enter the back kitchen.

He looked at Boss Yu's back in confusion, why is this boss so good?

Yu Qingze ordered him a hot noodle soup, and after watching him finish eating, he gave him money for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, and told him to eat on time.

The little boy refused to ask for it at first.

Later, Yu Qingze said that it would be deducted from his future salary, so he took it.

Yu Qingze patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back and have a good rest. The days to come are still long, so you have to live well. You can't worry about me, you know?"

With red eyes, the young boy bowed to Yu Qingze, thanked him and left.

When Yu Qingze returned to the food stall, Chang Le asked him how he was doing?

"Don't worry, I gave him money for dinner and breakfast, and he promised to come over tomorrow morning as a helper." Yu Qingze patted Chang Le's head, explained it clearly to him, and reassured him.

Hearing this, Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to work with confidence.

After solving Tian Jiabao's matter, Yu Qingze went to the market in the afternoon to buy steamers and materials for dim sum.

The Zhao Mansion has a lot of dim sum orders this time, but they have to focus on making them in the two days of 27 and [-], otherwise the dim sum will ruin the signboard if it turns sour.

There are a lot of things to do, and when I go to Zhao's mansion to make snacks, I have to ask Brother Chang's father and Ah Mo for help, so I have to train Brother Chang's father and Ah Mo a few days ago, so that I can make it in time.Moreover, Brother Chang and his aunt have to learn how to make jujube yam cake and donkey rolling.

The next few days will be very busy!
