The Culinary Tycoon

"Brother Yu, what do you want to buy?" Da He asked.

Brother Le also looked at Yu Qingze curiously.

Yu Qingze glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Of course, it is to buy things that we don't have here, mainly food, vegetables, fruits, and so on. As long as it is something we don't have here, it can be eaten."

Dahe thought for a while and asked, "Brother Yu, do you want to buy it to grow or to eat?"

Yu Qingze replied: "It's all right. It usually takes a long time for you to come back, and many things can't be stored for that long, especially food. Many things probably won't last for a month. The ones that are particularly perishable, Dahe, you remember to buy them I will ask them if they have any seeds to sell, and if so, buy some back. If not, if there are seeds in the broken things on the way, remember to save the seeds. We can try to grow one when we come back. Can it be planted? If there are no seeds, there is no way.”

Dahe heard the words, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will remember."

"If you think it tastes good, you can buy more. If it doesn't taste good, you can buy less. There are other things," Yu Qingze thought for a while, and Dahe might not be able to judge whether many things are useful or not, so he then He also said: "As long as you think it is useful, you can buy it back. I will see if it is useful."

"Okay, I will remember." Da He said.

Yu Qingze looked at the bag of sprouted potatoes, and asked Dahe, "Dahe, how much is this bag of ground eggs? I'll get it for you."

Da He immediately waved his hand and said, "Brother Yu, no need, this is what I brought back for you to eat, so you don't need to pay me. Besides, I haven't eaten it now..."

Yu Qingze looked at him, smiled and said: "Okay. But I still have to give you money, you wait."

"Hey, Brother Yu!" Hearing what Yu Qingze said, Dahe felt a little anxious why he wanted to give him money again, but Yu Qingze had already entered the room, so he could only look at Brother Le and said, "Brother Le, Look at this..."

Le Geer smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Yu Qingze went to the room and took a bag of broken silver and handed it to Dahe, who looked at Yu Qingze in bewilderment.

"What do you think I'm going to give you? Didan?" Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I want you to buy something for me? If I don't give you money, how can I buy it? I can't let you buy it for me." I'll pay for it."

Although I don't know how much wages Dahe can get for running a boat for a month, but I ask others to bring things, there is no reason for them to advance money, and it is right to give them money first.

Hearing this, Dahe was obviously relieved. He took the money bag and saw that there were a dozen pieces of silver in it. He was surprised: "So much? I don't know if I can bring it back, you Are you not afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"If you can say that, I don't have to worry about it." Yu Qingze laughed a little, and then said: "I don't know if it's enough for more refunds or less compensation. The main reason is that I don't know how many new things there are in the places you go. .”

Dahe rubbed the back of his head and said, "As far as I've been, there are obviously more things in the south than in the north. When I went to the south a few years ago, I brought back a kind of edible vegetable, but it spoiled halfway. Lost."

Yu Qingze became curious when he heard the words, and asked, "Oh? What kind of dish is it?"

Dahe said: "The big ones are as big as a plate, and the small ones are as big as the mouth of a bowl. The yellow-white ones are clumps, and the locals call them cauliflower."

It's cauliflower!

Yu Qingze said: "The next time I meet this kind, I will buy the seeds directly. The climate in the south is good, and there are many things that we don't have here. When you see it, you will buy it back."

Dahe nodded and said, "There are indeed many things we don't have over there. I saw three or four in the two cities I visited, but unfortunately they can't be kept for a long time, and I can't get them back."

The two chatted for a while.

Yu Qingze looked at Dahe, although this simple and honest young man liked his husband, he was really a good person, and it was not his fault that he liked Brother Le.Speaking of which, he might cut off his beard himself, even though Brother Le never liked him.

He thought for a while, and asked Dahe: "Dahe, when is the next time you go out on a boat?"

Da He replied: "I don't know yet, I will know tomorrow, and tomorrow the boss will tell me."

Yu Qingze said: "If you bring heavy things on board, will the boat owner accuse you or take money?"

"Normally not, and everyone has nothing heavy." Dahe shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Are you afraid that the boat owner will charge you more money?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "If he wants to take it, you can give it to him. In addition, if you have spare money, you can try to sell fruits or vegetables that can be preserved for a long time in other places. You can make some extra money."

Dahe shook his head and said, "We usually stay on the shore for four or five days after we arrive at the destination and then set off again. When we land on the way, there is only time for unloading and unloading. At most, we will stay on the shore for one night and have no time to sell. "

Yu Qingze thought for a while, and said: "Well, next time you bring it back, I will tell you if there is a good sale. If you go there in the future, just buy it back and sell it to me, and I will sell it. But in this case, there may be some Things can only be sold next year, after all, vegetables and fruits are not so easy to preserve. Of course, if you are brave enough, you can also directly buy back what you like."

Dahe's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this okay? That's not too much trouble for you, after all, those things may not be fresh after you buy them."

"Like fruits, when you buy them, buy raw ones instead of overripe ones, as they will last longer." Like the bananas in his previous life, they were picked when they were raw, and then transported to It is just ripe for sale in various places.But at that time, the general transportation could arrive within seven days, which was much faster than the shipping in this world.

"This method is good. Next time I go, I will take a closer look to see if there is anything suitable for long-term preservation." Dahe said happily.

Yu Qingze nodded.

Over there, the helpers in the village had packed up and finished their summary meeting, so they all went to the backyard to chat with Dahe.

Brother Le got up and went to the kitchen to cook, and asked Yu Qingze to stay in Dahe for dinner later, and Yu Qingze agreed.

Because the helpers had to go home, they didn't talk for long, so they went home.

In the evening, Dahe had dinner with Yu Qingze and Brother Le, and chatted for a long time.

After dinner, Yu Qingze asked, "Do you have a place to stay at night?"

Da He nodded, and said: "Yes, there is a big brother on the boat who takes good care of me. He is just in the west of the city. He happens to have a vacant room at his house. I will live in his house when I come back."

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "That's good, then I won't keep you." If they kept him, both of them would feel uncomfortable.

The two made an appointment to wait for Dahe to come back when he knew the next departure date, and Dahe left.

The next day, Dahe specially came over to give Yu Qingze and Le Geer a wedding gift.

After finishing the snacks in the afternoon, Yu Qingze asked Brother Chang and Brother Chang to stay and watch the shop at night, and then went home with Brother Le and Jiabao. Today is Chang Hao's birthday, and they have to go back early birthday.

In the first two days, Yu Qingze asked Uncle Caifu to deliver milk early this morning, and he was going to make a birthday cake for Chang Hao.

The three of them dragged a large sack of potatoes from Dahe, went to the market to buy meat and vegetables, and it was almost evening when they returned home.

After entering the house, they found that Cai Yunwei and Chang Hao were writing in the study in the east wing.

"Xiaohao! Xiaowei! We're back!" Jiabao called out when he saw the two of them.

Seeing that they were back, the two teenagers ran out happily.

"Brother! You are back!"

"Brother Yu, Brother Chang Le, Second Brother, I'm here to bother you. I want to stay overnight tonight, is that okay?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "Welcome! Why didn't you see anyone else, did you come here alone?"

Cai Yunwei replied: "Mi Geer and Uncle Dali sent me here, I asked them to go back, and they will pick me up tomorrow."

"I see. The old man and the others know, right?"

"knew."

"That's good. I just want to make a new snack today. You can play by yourself first, and try it together at night."

When they heard that there was a new snack to eat, the teenagers were very happy and asked what it was.Yu Qingze didn't tell them, and let them be surprised when the time comes.

Jia Bao followed into the kitchen to help, learning how to make dim sum and dishes, Brother Le prepared what to eat for dinner, and Yu Qingze started making cakes.

After a while, Grandpa Chang came back from picking vegetables from the vegetable garden. He was very happy to see them all come back, and he also helped pick and wash vegetables and got busy.

While they were busy, there was a knock on the door of the house. Yu Qiangsheng came over with his husband, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Is Yu Qingze here? I heard that he is back today, is he back?"

When Chang Hao saw it, he quickly shouted: "Grandpa, brother-in-law, someone is coming!"

When Yu Qingze and the others heard the voice, they came out and saw that it was Dahe's father and Jimo. They immediately frowned and said, "Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Yu Qingze was at home, Yu Qiangsheng hurriedly asked, "Did my son Yu Dahe go to see you? Where is he now?"

Hearing this, Yu Qingze frowned and said, "He's looking for me, but I don't know where he lives." Even if he knew, I couldn't tell you.

Yu Qiangsheng didn't believe it, and said: "Didn't you guys have dinner together yesterday, do you know where he lives? Are you lying to me?"

Yu Qingze glanced at the two of them and said, "Uncle, I really don't know where he lives. Do you need something from him?"

Yu Qiangsheng frowned, and said angrily: "That little bastard left his family behind and ran away, making us exhausted, wait until I find him, and see if I don't break his leg!"

Yu Qingze: ...

Seeing Yu Qingze frowning, Yu Qiangsheng's husband quickly tugged Yu Qiangsheng's sleeves, motioned him to restrain himself, and then said to Yu Qingze, "Well, Ze, he has been away from home for half a year. Don't know how it's been? Look, if you know where he is, just let us know and we'll get him back."

Dahe was absent for more than half a year, and Yu Qiangsheng's family realized the importance of Dahe. Not only did they lose a source of income, but they also lost a strong labor force.They are very busy during the autumn harvest. To make sweet potato flour during the Chinese New Year, it takes a lot of effort to stir the sweet potato flour slurry, and they are even more exhausted.These tasks would be much easier if Dahe was here!

Listen to your nonsense!Yu Qingze rolled his eyes inwardly, shook his head and said, "I really don't know."

Seeing that Yu Qingze didn't say anything, Yu Qiangsheng wanted to get angry and scold others, but they only made money from the sweet potato flour and cured meat taught by Yu Qingze before the Chinese New Year, and now they dare not scold them, otherwise they won't be given a way to make money in the future, what should they do? ?

Yu Qiangsheng's face turned red, and he finally said, "Okay, if you don't tell me, I won't force you. I'll go to the pier tomorrow to find him! I heard he's gone to run a boat!"

Hearing that he was going to look for Dahe, Yu Qingze suddenly darkened his face and said, "Uncle, I didn't want to take care of your family affairs, but I just wanted to say a few words. Did you really think about why Dahe left home? Is there a reason? Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father? Now that he has finally started again, you are going to disturb his peace. I am not saying, Uncle, you have not realized your own problems at all. With you Do you want to do this to your father? Why can't you let him go?"

Yu Qiangsheng lost face when a young man said that, and immediately became angry, and he didn't care about making money or not, and scolded: "None of your business! He is my son and he must listen to me! I let him If he goes east, he has to go east, and if I let him go west, he has to go west for me! He's not your son, and it's not your turn to tell me what's wrong with me!"

When Yu Qiangsheng's husband heard him speak, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly pulled his clothes, trying to stop him from speaking, but he threw him away.

"Why are you dragging me! It was originally, I teach my son, I look for my son, it's none of other people's business!"

Seeing this kind of person, Yu Qingze didn't want to say anything more, and said with a cold face: "It's really none of my business, so please go out, we are very busy."

Seeing that Yu Qingze was angry, Yu Qiangsheng's husband quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Ze, he just has such a bad temper. Your lord has a lot, so don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Yu Qingze sneered, and said, "I don't have that free time, please go out, I won't send you far!"

The two walked away cursing.

Cai Yunwei stared blankly.Brother Le saw it, and tugged at Yu Qingze's sleeve to signal him to take a look.

Yu Qingze said to Cai Yunwei, "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, did I scare you?"

Cai Yunwei shook his head and said, "I'm not scared, but I've never seen such...a rude person."

"It's as good as it doesn't scare you. Don't worry. Xiaohao, go play with the second young master. You can eat in about two quarters of an hour." Yu Qingze said.

"Good brother." Chang Hao replied, took Cai Yunwei's wrist, and said, "Let's go, our painting is not finished yet."

Cai Yunwei: "Oh."

The dinner was very rich and everyone ate to their hearts content.

After the meal, after studying for an hour, Yu Qingze brought out the birthday cake and put it on the table, with words written on it with apple slices——Happy 11th birthday to Xiaohao!

Due to the lack of conditions, the birthday cake is relatively simple, but in the eyes of Chang Hao and the others, it is already beautiful and attractive enough.

Yu Qingze didn't teach them how to make birthday wishes and blow out candles. There is no such tradition here, just eat longevity noodles.

Everyone shared the snacks.

The fluffy and soft cake texture, the creamy and creamy taste, and the refreshing fruity taste on the top, this cake conquered the hearts of several teenagers at once, and Le Geer also liked it very much.A big cream cake was shared among them.

After eating the cake, Yu Qingze and Le Geer gave Chang Hao the present again.

Chang Hao opened the gift box, and his heart was filled with joy. Inside was a bow and arrow that he had always wanted. He had seen it once in the Cai Mansion before, and he never forgot it. Unexpectedly, his brother and husband-in-law bought the same one and gave it to him. !

"Thank you brother! Thank you brother!" Chang Hao thanked happily, then picked up an arrow inside and wanted to go out and try it.

"It's too late, be careful, don't shoot anyone, we'll play tomorrow!" Yu Qingze confessed.

"Oh." Chang Hao put down the arrow, and pulled the string empty-handed, passing the dry addiction.

After a few busy days, they planted all the sprouted potatoes in the ground.

At the beginning of May, there were two new happy events in Tongshan City, and at the same time, they also ushered in a new county magistrate.
