The Culinary Tycoon

In the middle of the afternoon, the busiest time in the store has passed, and everyone can take a breather.

At this time, a swarthy man carried a big sack into the snack bar. Most of the sack was filled with unknown contents, and it looked heavy.

The man entered the door and put the big bag on the ground. When he saw Brother Chang, he smiled and called out, "Brother Chang."

Brother Chang turned his head curiously. No guest came in and called him by name directly. When he saw this, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise, "Dahe?!"

"Yeah." Da He nodded and smiled, and asked, "Are Big Brother Yu and Brother Le here?"

"Yes, yes. I'll take you in to find them." Brother Chang nodded with a smile, and said as he walked: "I heard from Brother Le that you went to run a boat. How have you been for half a year? Didn't you go to many places?"

Since Dahe left home last year, everyone hadn't seen him again. At this time, when they heard Brother Chang's voice, the other guys also looked over curiously. Seeing that it was indeed Dahe, everyone greeted him one after another.

"Dahe! Long time no see!"

"Dahe, hey, why are you getting darker?"

"Big River!"

"..."

Dahe picked up the sack, waved to the busy villagers one by one, replied to their words, and then said to Brother Chang: "It's okay, I've been to both the north and the south, and every place is different. little knowledge."

After speaking, the two arrived at the door of the kitchen. Hearing the voices outside, Le Geer had already reached the door. When he saw Dahe, he raised his hand full of flour in surprise and greeted Dahe.

When Dahe saw Brother Le, his brows softened immediately, and he called out with a silly smile: "Brother Le, long time no see."

Le Geer nodded with a smile.

Later, Brother Chang also came to the door, and greeted Dahe with a smile: "Dahe is back!"

Da He nodded and called, "Uncle."

Brother Chang replied, "It's good to be back."

Brother Le pointed to the backyard, gestured to Brother Chang, and asked him to take Dahe to sit in the yard.

Brother Chang nodded, and said to Dahe: "Go and sit in the backyard, there are tables and stools there, it's cool."

Dahe went with Brother Chang.

In the backyard, Yu Qingze was negotiating with a man who came to deliver coal briquettes. When he saw Dahe and Brother Chang enter the backyard, he exclaimed in surprise: "Dahe? You're back?"

Da He walked under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, put down the sack, and called, "Brother Yu."

Yu Qingze saw off the buddy, walked over quickly, pointed to the stone bench, and said, "Sit down and talk. When did you come back?"

"Just got off the boat, I'll come and see you." Da He sat down and replied.

"Just got off the boat? Have you had lunch yet?" Hearing that he just got off the boat, Yu Qingze turned to Brother Chang and said, "Brother Chang, please bring some snacks and tea over."

"Okay." Brother Chang responded readily, and then said to Dahe: "Dahe, sit down first, I'll go get some snacks for you to try."

Da Hehan smiled and said, "Brother Yu, Brother Chang, don't bother."

"It's okay, just taste it, you guys are working hard on the boat," Yu Qingze said.

Just as Brother Chang turned around, Brother Le had already washed his hands and came over with a plate of snacks and tea.

"Brother Le is here. Dahe, I'll go to work first. There are guests ahead. I'll talk to you when I'm done." Seeing that Geer Le had brought over snacks and tea, Brother Chang greeted Dahe , and went back to work.It's still working, so it's not good to leave for too long.

"Okay. You are busy with your work." Dahe replied.

Brother Chang went back to work in the front hall.

Le Geer put down the dinner plate, took a teapot and poured a glass of water for Dahe, and handed it to him.

"Thank you Brother Le, I'll do it myself." Dahe hurriedly reached out to take the teacup, his finger accidentally touched Brother Le's, he quickly put the teacup on the table, lowered his head, put his hands under the stone table, and rubbed it .

Seeing this, Yu Qingze took out the three dishes of snacks from the dinner plate and put them on the table, saying: "Dahe, come and taste it, I guess you won't be able to eat it on the boat."

After taking out the dim sum, he put an empty bowl and a pair of chopsticks in front of Dahe, Yu Qingze turned to Brother Le and said, "Fu Lang, go get a few more plates of ribs and chicken feet, and a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and get them for me too." Come here with the dishes and chopsticks, I will have a drink or two with Dahe and have a good chat."

Brother Le nodded and got up to leave.

Fu Lang?Hearing Yu Qingze's address to Brother Le, Dahe clenched his fists, raised his head and asked, "...Brother Yu, Brother Le, are you married?"

Le Geer nodded with a smile, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Yu Qingze saw Dahe looking at Le Geer's back with a lonely look on his face, he sighed inwardly, then pretended he didn't know anything, and replied with a smile: "We just got married a month ago, if you had been married earlier When I come back, I can have a glass of wedding wine."

Hearing this, Dahe came back to his senses, his eyes flickered, and he pinched his thigh hard.

The pain in his legs made Dahe wake up. He kept reminding himself that Brother Le was married. Didn't you decide to wish him and Brother Yu a long time ago?Haven't you already decided to let go?Don't stare at him, don't act abnormally, but don't let Big Brother Yu see that he treats Brother Le...

He pursed his lips, tried to force a smile, and said, "Congratulations! Look at me, I haven't prepared any presents yet. I'll prepare another one tomorrow."

"You don't have to be so polite, come here, let's have a taste first." Yu Qingze said with a smile, then changed the subject and asked, "Where have you and the boat been to in the past few months? Did you go directly to the sea and go by sea, or did you go via the Grand Canal?" ?”

Dahe took a sip of tea, ate a meatball, and then said: "Yes, I have traveled three times in total, usually I can go back and forth once every two months, and it takes three months if I am far away. I have been to both the north and the south. Little experience. I went back to the village to take a look during Chinese New Year.”

"You're back, why didn't you look for us?" Yu Qingze asked.

Da He scratched his head and replied, "I was afraid that my father and the others would see it, so I didn't dare to show up. Seeing that everyone is well, I feel relieved."

"That's right." Yu Qingze understood after hearing the words, and then asked, "What kind of goods are you mainly transporting on the ship?"

"Yes, it depends on what orders the boss accepts. Sometimes the silk cloth from the south is shipped to the north, and then there are merchants in the north that ship fur from the north..." After speaking, Dahe began to talk to Yu Qingze. Things when starting a ship.

After running for a few months, Dahe became darker, but proportional to the deepening of his skin color, he had gained more knowledge.Now that he has seen a lot, his personality has obviously changed a bit, he has become a lot clearer, and he talks more.

After Brother Le came over with some snacks, he also sat at the stone table and listened to him.Yu Qingze's knowledge of this country is still limited, so he listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.

The three of them ate and chatted until the stall was closed.

"I even met a foreigner!" Dahe said excitedly.

Brother Le opened his eyes wide, and asked with gestures: What kind of foreigner?

Of course Yu Qingze knew about foreigners, so he helped Brother Le and asked, "What kind of foreigners?" Is it similar to the foreigners in his previous life?

Dahe said: "The hair is blond or brown, the eyes are blue, the nose is very high, the skin is very white, he is tall, and he speaks differently from us. And his servant, the eyes It's very big, and its skin is very dark, darker than mine, its hair is curly, and it has a lot of beard, all over its chin!"

Brother Le opened his mouth wide when he heard the words, and Yu Qingze also showed surprise at the right time, asking: "Is there such a person?"

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such people. It is said that they all came from the ocean, so I called them foreigners. I heard that there are more than just the blond-haired and black-skinned ones who live in distant places and pass through Dahai, and people from many other countries, all look different from us." Dahe nodded and said in amazement.

Yu Qingze said: "So that's how it is!" Based on the description, is it an 'American' or a 'European' in this world?

"By the way, Brother Yu, Brother Le, I brought you something."

Dahe put down his chopsticks, brought the big sack under the tree and put it in front of Yu Qingze and the others, untied the straw rope on the sack and said: "This time I went to the north, I saw that the people over there planted a We don’t have any new things here. They are called ground eggs, which are said to have been passed down by foreigners. They have been planted for a year in the state close to the capital, and they just harvested. It is said that the output is quite large, so that many winters can’t eat enough Everyone can survive the winter safely. I felt okay after eating, so I got a bag back."

"Oh? Didan? What?" Does it sound familiar?Yu Qingze became interested.

"It's the size of a child's fist. It grows in the ground like a sweet potato. The skin is yellow. You'll see it later." Dahe said, struggling with the grass rope, but the grass rope was tied so tightly that his fingers tore it. If it didn't open, Dahe simply bit it with his teeth.

When Yu Qingze heard it, why did it look like a potato?

"I'm going to get the scissors." Seeing that Dahe couldn't get the grass rope off, he simply went to the room to get a pair of scissors, and cut the grass rope with a click.

The rope was untied, Dahe pulled the sack open, Yu Qingze and Le Geer looked over curiously.

Yu Qingze: ...It really is a potato!

His eyes are shining, this is a good thing!If the introduction is successful, it can solve the problem of many poor people not having enough to eat.

Le Geer picked up a potato and looked at it curiously.

"Huh, why did they sprout?" Dahe scratched his head, looked at the sprouted potatoes in the sack, and took out some potatoes that looked at the bottom, and they all sprouted, so he worried: "It was fine when I bought it, unexpectedly It germinated in just a month. I wonder if I can still eat it?"

"Don't eat!" Potatoes that have sprouted are poisonous and cannot be eaten.Yu Qingze said immediately.

Da He was puzzled, "Can't you eat it? That would be a pity, I just wanted to bring it back for you to taste."

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "It's okay, I've seen these things before. We can plant them all in the field. Did you ask the seller how to plant them?"

Yu Qingze can easily come up with a dozen or twenty ways to eat potatoes, but this method is really difficult for him.

Just bury it in the soil and pour manure, can it grow naturally?

Da He scratched his head and said, "I didn't ask carefully, I just heard them say that just bury the eggs in the soil, and that's all. There's no need to re-cut the vines to plant like sweet potatoes."

"Then let's plant them and try them. They've already germinated, and it's a waste if we don't plant them." I just don't know if they can be planted this summer. After all, as far as he knows, potatoes seem to be harvested in winter.Yu Qingze was a little worried.

"Well, try it, it doesn't matter if it's not planted well, I'll bring some back next time." Dahe put the potatoes back and said.

"Speaking of this, Dahe, you saw a lot of things when you went out on a boat, I would like to ask you to help me buy some things."
