The Culinary Tycoon

After entering May, the snack bar launched the Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi.

People in this world don't have the custom of eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, but Yu Qingze does.Zongzi, as a special seasonal food in the country of his previous life, is very popular. If you don’t eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, it always feels wrong, and you feel that something is missing.

Furthermore, zongzi itself is a very delicious food. The people here have never eaten zongzi, so they can just try it and increase the income of the snack bar.

So, Yu Qingze did it.

On the first day, he didn't cook much, so he made a pot.Red dates and chestnuts, meat stuffing, red bean paste, and salted egg yolk, there may be fifty or sixty in total, and they are sold out in one morning.

So in the next few days, they did more.Different from glutinous rice chicken, which only has salty taste, the glutinous rice inside the zongzi is firm, with a fresh aroma of bamboo leaves, and a little herbal taste. The taste is changeable, and there are salty and sweet tastes. It has become a hot snack in the snack bar.

Especially the zongzi with salted egg yolk taste is popular among many guests.

Yu Qingze found time to make salted duck eggs after he got married. The method is very simple. Mix salt and well water into the yellow mud to make a paste, then wrap the washed duck eggs in the paste and put them in a jar, seal it well, and it will last for more than 20 You can take it out and cook it in a few days.

Yu Qingze took the opportunity to push out the salted duck eggs, washed them, boiled them, cut them open, and sold them well for half a penny.

The snack bar business is going well, and the two apprentices are also studying hard. Yu Qingze is thinking that after the two apprentices are able to graduate, they can almost think about the small restaurant.

Now, Brother Le's cooking skills have improved a lot. Now Jiabao cooks at home every night. He learns as he cooks, and he can cook a few dishes. It should be even better after a while.

Then, what form will be opened at that time, and it will have to be carefully considered.

On the third day of May, in the middle of the morning, Tongshan City was overwhelmed by two big happy events from the capital.

The results of the palace examination in the capital have been released. Jiang Tianrui, the second young master of the Jiang family in the south of the city, ranks No. 8 in the second class!

The young master of the Cai Mansion, Cai Chenxi, is the number one scholar in high school!

And both of them stayed in Beijing and entered the Hanlin Academy!

There are two more Beijing officials in Tongshan city, and one champion man, everyone is honored.

This is the hometown of the champion!

Upon hearing the good news, many merchants took actions spontaneously—to celebrate this happy event, discounts!discount!

Yuji Snack Bar also closely followed the actions of the merchants and made a [-]% discount to celebrate the three-day event.

At this time, the arithmetic knowledge Jiabao learned during this period came in handy.The abacus on the left and the sandwood plate on the right can calculate quickly.Yu Qingze went over to take a few glances, and saw that he was right in his calculations, so he was relieved to go to work.I have to prepare gifts to send to Cai Mansion and Liu Ji!

Because of the actions of the merchants, the city has become more lively these days than usual, and everyone took advantage of the discounts these days to buy all the things that they were fancy but were not willing to buy before.Brother Le and Brother Chang also went to the cloth store to sweep a batch of goods and came back.

Seeing that there are discounts and discounts everywhere in the city, many merchants inquired curiously, only then did they realize that it was to celebrate the birth of a number one scholar and a Jinshi.It was a rare opportunity, and they also bought some of the things they saw in need.

Everyone happily passed the 'Shopping Festival' for a few days, and passed the Dragon Boat Festival again.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, early in the morning, the sun had just come out, and there was a bang, bang, bang, and bang of gongs from North Street.

"The new county magistrate, Mr. Luo, will enter the city to take office at the right time today, and then please kneel down in the street to welcome him!"

The gong knocker shouted as he knocked, knocking from the North City Gate all the way to East Street, then from East Street to South Street, and finally to West Street. After knocking on the main road, he went to the county government to notify.

"The new magistrate is here, I hope it won't be like the last magistrate!"

"The new county magistrate's surname is Luo. I don't know where he is from? How about being an official?"

"He asked us to kneel down in the street to greet him. No county magistrate came here before to inform us like this. Isn't it all just going to the county government quietly with your own family?"

"Anyway, we're on the street, let's recognize each other, so that we won't be offended if we don't know each other in the future!"

"That's right."

"..."

Yu Qingze and the others were also at the door. Hearing the discussions of the guests next to him, Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows. He didn't know whether the incident just now was ordered by the new county magistrate or arranged by the county government.Either way, it's too loud.

After half an hour, the person who rang the gong again specifically on North Avenue and East Avenue, reminding everyone that these are the two avenues passed by the new county magistrate, please do not collide.

Afterwards, the people on the North Street saw the county magistrate rushing to the pier with a group of officials from the county government.

About three quarters of an hour later, a group of chariots and horses came from the direction of the North City Gate.

Walking in the front was a young man in the county magistrate's uniform, riding a big bay red horse, led by an officer, walking slowly towards this side.Behind him was a particularly gorgeous carriage, the curtains of which were drawn, and there was a handsome man in brocade sitting inside.

The young man on the horse is the new county magistrate, and the one in the carriage must be Fulang, the magistrate.

After the carriage, followed by two ordinary carriages and horses, followed by several carts of luggage and some servants.

Wherever the carriages and horses passed, people knelt down to greet him.

With a smile on his face, the new county magistrate kept waving to the people on both sides.

When walking a little ahead of the snack bar section, Yu Qingze took advantage of everyone's inattention, dragged Le Geer and Jia Bao into the store, and returned to the room.

Brother Le looked at Yu Qingze strangely.

"Brother, do you have anything to say?" Jia Bao also looked at him curiously, thinking that he had something to do, otherwise he would pull them back in a good manner.

There was nothing wrong with Yu Qingze, he just didn't want his husband and younger brother to kneel down.

He coughed lightly, thought for a while, and said with an excuse: "I suddenly remembered that we can make more dim sum for the Cai Mansion's thank-you banquet tomorrow."

Le Geer gestured and said: What kind of snacks?

Yu Qingze said: "...the No. [-] Scholar Cake." For a while, he couldn't think of any other desserts.

"Number one scholar cake? Is there such a kind of cake? Is it a cake that can only be eaten by a champion scholar? Or can one become a champion scholar after eating it?" Jiabao asked curiously.

Yu Qingze rubbed Jiabao's head, and said: "It's not so easy to be the number one scholar, it's just a good meaning."

Jia Bao grinned, and then said: "Tell Xiao Hao and Xiao Wei to eat more later!"

"..." Yu Qingze said again: "I will go to Cai's mansion in the afternoon to discuss with Mrs. Cai. If he agrees, I will teach Brother Le again tonight. We have to work hard in the store tomorrow to settle accounts with Brother Chang. We all have to go there .”

Jia Bao nodded and asked, "Brother, why don't I come back after lunch tomorrow?"

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "No, you are now the adoptive son of the Cai Mansion, and you are considered half the master. You don't have to go to the kitchen with us tomorrow, but you have to help the old man and the others to receive guests, you know?"

Jia Bao smiled shyly, scratched his head, and said with some hesitation: "But, I'm stupid, and I'm not very good at greeting guests."

"It's okay, the old man told me the other day, it's fine for you to be with Yun Wei. Just follow your usual appearance, don't need to think so much." Yu Qingze said.Jiabao is very polite when dealing with people, his aunt taught him very well.

"Oh, good." Hearing this, Jia Bao nodded and felt relieved.

By the time they finished speaking, the carriages and horses of the new county magistrate had already passed by.

Brother Chang knocked on the door and said at the door, "Why are you all in here? Have you seen the new county magistrate? Jiabao, there are customers outside who have settled their bills."

"Oh, yes, I'm here." Jia Bao heard that a customer wanted to pay, so he hurriedly responded and went out.

"Let's go out too." Yu Qingze pulled Brother Le to stand up and went out, explaining to Brother Chang as he walked: "Suddenly remembered something about tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll forget it, so tell them both."

Brother Chang was stunned, and said: "Oh, I just said why I didn't see you when I turned around."

After a while, Boss Liu came over.

He took Yu Qingze to the backyard, and said to Yu Qingze mysteriously: "Someone from my brother-in-law's house passed me some words, saying that this new county magistrate has a lot of background, so we should pay more attention when we meet in the future. Don't run into each other, it will be caught by others."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingze asked curiously, "What's the origin?"

Boss Liu shook his head, and replied: "I didn't say it clearly, I just said that he is the son of a high-ranking official in the capital. He came here to gain qualifications, and he will probably be transferred back to the capital in two years."

Yu Qingze let out an oh, and said: "So that's the case, I understand, thank you bro!"

"Why are you being polite to me? By the way, you taught me that the sour bamboo shoots can be eaten, can you launch snail noodles and Guilin rice noodles?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said, "Then push it out. Be careful not to mix the snails and noodles together, or you will get stomach upset after eating."

"Okay, I'll note it down."
