The Culinary Tycoon

After Yu Qingze went back, he sent the ox cart back to the village head's house, and then went to Brother Chang's house.

Hearing his reason for coming, Brother Chang immediately said: "Okay, I'll go there now."

It happened to be mid-afternoon at this moment, and it happened to be almost ready for dinner in the past.Brother Chang said, "Then I'll go there too. I have to make dim sum tomorrow morning. Xiao Chang, pack some Laba porridge and bring some to Brother Le to eat together."

Brother Chang nodded.

After hearing this, Yu Qingze remembered that he didn't bring Laba porridge for Brother Le when he went to the city just now. Although he ate it at noon, there were still plenty at home anyway, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll pack some when I go back, you guys Try to see what I made, and eat in exchange."

The Laba porridge here was different from what he knew, but Grandpa Chang and the others believed in his craftsmanship, so they asked him to make it according to his method.Sure enough, it was much more delicious than the local traditional ones, and they all liked it.

"Boss Yu, you made it? It must be delicious. Decorate more." Brother Chang shouted in the kitchen.

Yu Qingze responded with a smile, and went back to pack a lot in a food box, enough for the three of them to eat, and let Brother Chang and the others take it to the store.

After arranging someone to accompany Brother Le, Yu Qingze returned home with peace of mind, and took a hoe to find Grandpa Chang and the others.They are digging the ground in the back, and they are going to plant lettuce seedlings today.

When Yu Qingze arrived, they had already dug two-thirds of the small piece of land. Yu Qingze went over, crushed the soil and leveled it, and said to Grandpa Chang: "Grandpa, I didn't go to get the medicine for that prescription. After thinking about it, let's show Dr. Li tomorrow first, can you take a look?"

Grandpa Chang nodded and said, "Okay. I want to show Dr. Li."

"Then you go with me tomorrow, and let Dr. Li take the pulse, so he can judge better." Yu Qingze said.

Grandpa Chang hesitated, and said, "I'll go too? I also want to plant the onions over there tomorrow."

Yu Qingze persuaded: "If you don't go, Dr. Li doesn't know your symptoms, and it's hard to judge whether the prescription is good or not."

Grandpa Chang thought for a while and said, "Then, let's do it."

In the evening, after dinner, Chang Hao was doing his homework as usual.Yu Qingze was teaching Jiabao arithmetic. Now, they had started to learn multiplication. Yu Qingze asked Jiabao to recite the nine-nine multiplication table, and then taught him.

Watching the young man earnestly calculate on the sand table, Yu Qingze asked him: "Jiabao, have you paid off all those debts?"

Jia Bao shook his head and said, "It's only 560 wen to pay off."

"I'll go with you tomorrow, and we'll pay back all the money. Besides," Yu Qingze glanced at Chang Hao, then looked at Jiabao and asked, "Jiabao, do you want to go to school?"

He was too busy during this period, and sometimes the villagers would call him over to deal with problems at night, so he never cared about Jiabao.Now he finally felt a little more relaxed. Seeing Chang Hao writing his master's homework, he suddenly remembered that if Jiabao went to study, he must be a good student, and he might be able to get a degree in the exam.If Jiabao wants to study, he will send him to study.

Hearing this, Jiabao was stunned for a moment, looked up at Yu Qingze, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why do you ask that, big brother?"

Chang Hao also looked up at Yu Qingze, if Brother Jiabao could go to school with him, that would be great too!

"You are so smart and have a solid foundation. If you go to study, you will definitely be able to obtain fame and achievements in the future." Yu Qingze replied.

Chang Hao nodded, agreeing with this sentence very much.

Jia Bao looked at the sand table and remained silent without answering.After a while, he raised his head, shook his head at Yu Qingze, and said, "Brother, I don't want to go to school, I want to learn from you to calculate accounts, learn to cook, and learn to open a shop and do business."

Yu Qingze frowned, thinking that Jiabao was worried about the snack bar and money, so he said, "You don't have to worry about the snack bar, I can find someone else to train me, and I don't have to worry about money. With the money we earn from the snack bar, I will send you to study." It's still fine. You just need to consider whether you want to go or not. If you want to go, I will send you to school."

Jiabao still shook his head, and said with an inexplicably sad expression on his face: "I can read and write, there is no need to go to school. I don't want to get fame, the court is too complicated, I am not suitable and I don't want to go that way. I just want to live an ordinary life. My aunt also told me not to take the path of official career."

Yu Qingze opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised at what the young man said, which made him have to rethink Jiabao's life experience.

Jiabao was only 13 years old. According to what Huang Laoyao said before, he followed his aunt to Tongshan City when he was five years old. He has been living at the bottom of Tongshan City for seven or eight years, working hard every day to make ends meet.

He is literate and taught him to read and count. It can be seen that his family background must have been good before, but he doesn't know why he ended up here.

Yu Qingze used to think that Jiabao might be a wealthy family who fell into the downfall, and fell to Tongshan City with his aunt, but now judging from what he said, it is not necessarily so.

"...Is it related to your father?" Yu Qingze asked tentatively.

Jiabao looked up at Yu Qingze in shock, then quickly lowered his head, clenched his fists with both hands, and his knuckles were whitened by him.

Seeing the boy like this, Yu Qingze couldn't bear it, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask, don't worry." Anyway, from his reaction, he knew that it had something to do with his father, but the specifics What is it, I don't know.

Jia Bao lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he raised his head again to solve the problem.

After doing it for a while, Jia Baohong looked up and said to Yu Qingze, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you, yes, yes..."

Yu Qingze patted his head and said, "It's okay, just don't say what you can't say, when you can say it, if you want to say it, just tell me."

"Brother..." Jia Bao burst into two tears, and then couldn't hold it back.

"It's okay, don't cry, let Xiaohao see the joke." Yu Qingze patted his head and said.

"Well, I don't cry..." Jia Bao wiped away his tears and gave Chang Hao a very embarrassed look.

Chang Hao was stunned when he saw Jiabao crying before, but now he looked at him, smiled at him, and said, "It's okay, I used to cry a lot, grandpa said that when I cry, it's like washing my eyes, but don't cry for too long. Crying for too long is also bad for the eyes."

Jiabao nodded with a blushing face, and lowered his head to do the question in embarrassment.Yu Qingze didn't mention the matter of letting him study again.

The next day, Yu Qingze took Grandpa Chang to see Dr. Li first, and then showed him the prescription prescribed by Dr. He yesterday.

Dr. Li looked at the prescription, pondered for a long time, and then he was pleasantly surprised, and said: "This prescription is wonderful! Which doctor prescribed it, it is wonderful, and it can be matched like this!"

Yu Qingze and Grandpa Chang looked at each other.Yu Qingze asked: "Doctor Li, can this prescription be used?"

Dr. Li nodded and said: "It can be used, it can be used, this prescription is very good, it can be said that it is the best prescription for this disease that I have seen so far."

Yu Qingze said: "Then let's grab the medicine according to this prescription, and grab ten pairs first."

Dr. Li took the prescription to the clerk to grab the medicine, and then asked, "Which doctor prescribed your prescription? I really want to get to know him and discuss it."

Yu Qingze replied: "It's a doctor we met by chance yesterday. His surname is He, and he lives in the Fulai Inn. I don't know if he is still here today."

"Okay, I'll try my luck." Dr. Li said happily.He likes to discuss medical issues with people the most.

After grabbing the medicine, Yu Qingze and the others returned to the shop.

At noon, they accidentally saw a man in his 30s pushing Dr. He to the store for snacks.

Dr. He was obviously taken aback when he saw them, and said: "I heard from my son that the dim sum here is delicious, so I wanted to try it. So you guys opened it?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Yes, Doctor He, take a look at what you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Dr. He smiled and said, "You can always eat for free. I haven't paid for yesterday's meal."

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "Doctor He, you are polite. The prescription you prescribed to grandpa is too important to us, so you don't have to be polite to me. You can take whatever you want."

Dr. He laughed, and said: "That's fine. I'm not going to be polite to the old man. I'm still thinking about the lunch I had at your place yesterday."

When the middle-aged man heard that Yu Qingze was his father's savior, he immediately cupped his fists in salute, and said: "My father was saved by Boss Yu, and I will never forget it. If you need it in the future, please do not hesitate to ask."

Yu Qingze said with a smile: "Brother He is being polite, we just happened to see it, people from the village, don't worry about it."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but Dr. He interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two don't be too polite, you two are destined to meet each other, and if I continue, I will be hungry."

"Hahaha, Dr. He is right. Come on, I'll take you to pick up your meal." They helped Dr. He, and Dr. He also helped them. It's really hard to tell who owes whom, just like Dr. He said, It is also very good to know each other by fate.

Yu Qingze took the two of them to pick up the meal, and then said: "There are hot and sour noodles, but you have injured your leg, so you can't eat it."

Dr. He felt a little regretful when he heard the words, and said: "My son also said that this hot and sour rice noodle is delicious, if only I could eat it on the day I come here, now I don't have to eat it if I want to."

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "Then you come over to eat later, anyway, Yunzhou is not far from here." Doctor He told them yesterday that his family is from Yunzhou.

"It's true. When you arrive in Yunzhou, remember to visit my house and let me treat you well. I usually go out for two months each in spring and autumn, and stay at home during other times."

"Okay, then thank Doctor He first." Yu Qingze agreed with a smile.

Doctor He and his son returned to Yunzhou the next day.Dr. He originally had some places to go, but his leg was injured, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only go home and heal his injury.Before leaving, Yu Qingze also gave them some preserved meat for them to take back to taste.

Two days later, the villagers' first batch of bacon, sausages and other cured meats were basically smoked. Yu Qingze checked them one by one, and then bought them at the price stated before.

When he bought it, he made it clear to the villagers in advance: "Folks, let me make it clear in advance that you can earn 15-20 Wen per catty for each kind of preserved meat. When I sell it, it must be higher than this, otherwise I will sell it. I can’t make money, that’s for sure. No matter how much I sell per catty at that time, if someone sees that the price I sell is high and secretly sells it in the market, once they find out, it will be considered a breach of contract. He cooperates. I hope everyone will remember."

The villagers all said yes.

After selling the first batch of cured meat, the villagers got money and were very happy.In previous years, it was almost the Chinese New Year, and they had nothing to sell, and there was not much work in the field, so they basically stayed at home.When it's Chinese New Year, buying New Year's goods is all about paying for it.

Now, every family of them makes sweet potato flour and cured meat. The sweet potato flour is made faster and sold for money. Some of them continue to buy sweet potatoes, and some continue to buy meat to make preserved meat. Basically, they can sell it every two days. One time of sweet potato flour, the second batch of preserved meat can be sold two or three days after the first batch of preserved meat.

All that comes into the hand is money, and once the money circulates, more money is born.How can they be unhappy that the month of paying money in previous years has now become a month of getting money in.

The whole village is now eager to confess Yu Qingze, and they even praised Brother Le one after another, saying that fortunately he rescued Yu Qingze back then, it was really a good rescue!Otherwise, how can there be such a good thing now!

It took one day to buy all the bacon and sausages in the village. Yu Qingze and the others sorted them according to the ropes representing different flavors on the bacon.Early the next morning, he went to borrow the ox carts and carts from the village chief's house, the carts from Brother Chang's house and Tie Zhu's house, and also borrowed several scales. I dragged the five-carriage of cured meat to the store.

He has arranged the price and sales beforehand.

When the store opened, they set up two large tables at the entrance, spread clean straw mats on them, put some cured meat on them, and put price tags on the front, and then they put out the stove and steamed them in public. Come up with bacon and sausage.

On this day, all the helpers went to work, and Grandpa Chang also came to the shop to help.

Yu Qingze picked two helpers who were good at eloquence and could recognize arithmetic. When the bacon and sausage were almost finished steaming, the smell had already come out, so they beat the gong at the door and shouted.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

"Folks, take a look, take a look, we Yuji Yikouxian has launched a variety of cured meat, bacon, sausage, bacon, chicken, bacon, duck, bacon, the taste is unique, articulate and fragrant, the aftertaste is endless, and the fragrance is far away. This Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone entertains guests, visits relatives and friends, and brings our cured meat, it couldn’t be more appropriate..."

In fact, as early as in the process of their preparations, they had already attracted many people to stop. Now that the smell of bacon wafted away, people came over naturally without the waiter yelling.

"What is it, so fragrant!"

"Boss Yu, what kind of food are you eating? It smells so good!"

"Yeah, I feel my stomach growling when I smell this smell. I obviously just had breakfast."

"..."

When Yu Qingze opened the lid of the pot, the scent of cured meat became more intense.

Everyone sniffed their noses fiercely, feeling the saliva in their mouths being secreted crazily, and swallowed hard again.

It smells so good...

"Folks, these are cured meat, sausage, cured chicken, cured duck, and cured fish. I cut them up, and everyone has a taste." Yu Qingze cut the cured meat into small pieces together with a helper, and then Insert the bamboo sticks, and Brother Chang will bring them over for everyone to taste.

This oily but not greasy, strong and tangy taste captured the stomachs of everyone!

"Boss Yu, how do you sell this bacon? And this sausage..."

"I like this spicy one, how do you sell this spicy one?"

"This cured duck is also delicious!"

"..."

Yu Qingze was busy cutting meat, so Brother Chang took over the conversation and replied: "Folks, folks, please listen to me, there are three flavors of bacon and sausages, five-flavored, spicy, and spicy." There are also spicy and five-flavored ones at [-] renminbi a catty, both spicy and spicy at [-] renminbi a catty. Preserved chicken and duck are both [-] renminbi a catty, and cured fish is [-] renminbi a catty. "

The prices that Yu Qingze set were all [-] Wen a catty higher than the purchase price.

"So expensive!"

"Yes, it's so expensive!"

"However, the taste is really good! I'll buy some to go back and try!"

"Yes, then I will buy some back."

"Xiao Er, can I buy half a catty?"

"You can buy half a catty. You can also buy sausages in pieces!"

"Give me half a catty of spicy bacon, and a piece of ordinary sausage!"

"Bring me a cured fish, I like fish!"

"..."

The entrance of the snack bar immediately became lively, and the three of them couldn't take care of it all at once, so Yu Qingze hurriedly dispatched a helper from the store to help.

In the morning, most of the local people bought a little bit to go back and taste it. After all, it was quite expensive. If the family didn’t like it, wouldn’t it be a waste?

Those who buy more are merchants. After all, they are leaving soon. Who knows if they will come again next time?Moreover, at this time, most of the merchants who come and go are rushing back to celebrate the New Year. It is also possible to buy some new and uncommon things to go back, eat at home or give away to relatives and friends.

After noon passed, in the afternoon, the number of local people who came to buy suddenly increased, and the quantity also increased immediately. It was no longer buying half a catty, but one or two yuan, five pieces and ten pieces, one or two and one or two. bought.

Yu Qingze and the others were so busy that they didn't even have time to go back to the store for lunch, and Brother Le asked someone to replace them with them, and came back for lunch in turn.

Before closing the stall in the afternoon, the five-pallet cart they pulled out of the bacon had already been sold out, and the wooden box used to hold the money was already full of copper plates and broken silver.

Brother Le carried the big box containing the money into the room, and Yu Qingze asked Brother Chang to come in together, sorted the copper plates into a consistent one, separated the broken silver and put it in a small bag separately.

Afterwards, Yu Qingze and Le Geer went to the bank with the big box, and exchanged all the money into bank notes before the bank closed.

The bacon and sausages made by dozens of households in the village were more than five-pallet carts. The next day, Yu Qingze and the others dragged another five-pallet cart to the store.

Before they opened the shop, there were quite a few people waiting at their gate. They were all those who didn’t buy the cured meat yesterday. They came here to buy the cured meat on purpose this morning. Two of them said they came here from across the river. of.
