Food for the people

Although Qiao Ling did not come from a very wealthy family since he was a child, at least he did not lack food and clothing.

Qiao Ling has eaten all the famous food in the capital, except for Yipin Lou, which is exclusively for dignitaries, there are few places that Qiao Ling has not been to.

He didn't know what the noodles in Yipinlou were like, but as far as the places he ate, Qiao Yu's noodles were really the best, and he wasn't exaggerating at all.

So when Qiao Yu said he wanted to open a noodle stall, his first reaction was to support it.

After all, Qiao Yu's cooking is so delicious, there is absolutely no need to worry about diners not buying it.

But soon Qiao Ling felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

The first is money, although they have the ten taels of silver borrowed from Uncle Zhao, but if they want to set up a storefront, that little money must be a little bit reluctant.

It's not that ten taels of silver can't rent a place in the capital, but most of the shops facing the street are expensive, and there are definitely few places where ten taels of silver can be rented.

You can't have both, this is one.

The second is Qiao Yu's body.

Qiao Ling knew how poor his brother's health was. Although he didn't know why after Qiao Yu "passed on", his brother's health improved a lot, but there was still a long way to go before he became physically fit.

As long as the cold wind blows, Qiao Yu's hands and feet will definitely be cold. After walking outside for a long time, he will stop to rest and catch his breath.

Such a body cannot support him to open a restaurant.

Although Qiao Ling didn't say it, in his heart, this Qiao Yu who lived in his brother's body and treated him well was already equal to his own brother to him.

Don't be afraid of being poor, as long as he grows up, he can go out to work and earn money to subsidize the family, but if he hurts Qiao Yu's body again because of money, that is absolutely impossible.

Qiao Ling thought a lot about it in his heart, and finally said to Qiao Yu: "Brother's craftsmanship is definitely not a problem, but we only have ten taels of silver, and I'm afraid it's still a little bit reluctant to rent a shop near the street."

After all, Qiao Yu is also a smart person who has lived for more than 20 years and almost 30 years. How can he not see the little thought on Qiao Ling's face, he stretched out his hand to pinch Qiao Ling's face while smiling.

"Who told you that I plan to rent a shop."

"How do you open a noodle restaurant without renting a shop?" Qiao Ling asked.

"There are so many sellers on the street, and people can sell sweets and cakes. Why can't I sell them here?" Qiao Yu replied.

Qiao Ling said: "That's not the same. People's candy people and candy cakes are small gadgets, they don't take up much space, and you can sell them by pushing a cart. How about noodles? How can you roll noodles, cook noodles, and stir-fry vegetables?" Need a place, a three-wheeled cart, where can there be such a big place for you to play?"

Qiao Yu was very pleased and said, "Yes, quite smart, but what you said is not a problem, I can find a way to solve it, you just say whether this method works or not."

Qiao Ling saw that he was playing tricks, and there was a hint of confidence in his words, so he was a little anxious for a while.

"Let's not talk about this first, just say that your body can do it? It's so cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter, can you bear it if you stay outside for a day?"

"Who told you that I plan to sell for a day?" Qiao Yu asked again.

Qiao Ling stared at him speechlessly, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"I will assign all the work, don't worry, you can't run away if you have to do it, and I will never make fun of my body. As for the other things, I have already thought about it, and I have also figured out a solution Now, you just need to answer whether I can do it, and I will tell you the rest later."

Qiao Ling stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded very honestly.

Putting aside all problems and returning to the food itself, the food made by his brother Qiao Yu is the best in the world.

Qiao Yu nodded, "That's about the same, that's enough, let's go wash the dishes after eating. After the new year is over, go buy more jars and vegetables. Once the [-]th is over, this plan should be put into action .”

No matter how mature Qiao Ling's mind is, he is still a child after all. Hearing this, the last worry in his heart has been erased a lot, and he is wholeheartedly happy for the future.

With a hidden smile, he took the bowl back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Apart from the fact that the first few days of coming here felt like years, after getting used to it, the days went by very quickly, and Qiao Yu has been here for almost a month in a blink of an eye.

In this era, there are no electric lights, computers, WIFI, and mobile phones. The night begins to fall after the sun sets, which is completely opposite to the sky/dawn that only starts to get excited in the middle of the night. Qiao Yu had to adjust his biological clock, but fortunately, his current body is not He is too energetic, but he needs to sleep for ten hours every day, so it is not difficult to go to bed earlier at night and wake up earlier in the morning. There are few days when he can't sleep, he will lie down in front of the brazier and have a rest. Chatting with Qiao Ling, and then throwing an egg and potato in the brazier, eating while chatting is also very pleasant.

And Qiao Yu's first year here came in such an uneventful day.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Qiao Yu woke up early. Qiao Ling said that the [-]th day is called saying goodbye to the old, and the day of the first day is called welcoming the new. of.

But now there are only two brothers left in the entire Qiao family, so everything is kept simple, mainly to let Qiao Ling say that he can't explain why, not to mention that with Qiao Yu's character, he is too lazy to do such meaningless things .

In his heart, Chinese New Year is for eating.

As early as thirty years ago, Qiao Yu had already prepared most of the food for the New Year.

First, he fried two bowls of melon seeds without adding any extra seasoning. He prefers the original melon seeds.

Then I fried another bowl of peanuts. This time, salt and spice powder were added to the peanuts to make them five-spice, which was more suitable for Qiao Ling's appetite.

Finally, fried twists mixed with honey and five-spice powder.

There are also some that are not made by Qiao Yu, such as Candy Cake Jujube Cake and Suxiangfang's open smile.

It was recommended by Qiao Ling, who said it was very delicious. Qiao Yu tasted it, the egg was rich and crispy, it was delicious, but for a person who is addicted to sweets and has eaten all kinds of cakes and desserts, It's only a little delicious.

"Father, mother... brother, if you are alive in heaven, please bless the Qiao family, bless Brother Qiao Yu, let him get well, and don't suffer from what your brother has suffered."

Qiao Ling knelt in front of Qiao's father and Qiao's mother's tablet, murmured softly, bent down, and kowtowed heavily.

Next to the tablet of Joe's father and mother, there is another tablet without any name engraved on it, which belongs to Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Yu quietly approached and stood by the door. After hearing the two words Qiao Ling muttered, she smiled again and left quietly.

Qiao Ling knelt in front of the memorial tablet and talked for a long time before coming out of the main room. Qiao Yu had already prepared all the dishes and put them on the table.

Although it is said that some good food should be eaten during the Chinese New Year, there are only two people in the end, and no relatives and friends will come to the house, so it is not easy to be extravagant and wasteful, so Qiao Yu only made four dishes, one chicken, one fish, one meat and one pot of soup. Vegetarian dishes, in this cold winter season, except for some dried vegetables that go with meat, there is no hope of eating fresh vegetables.

Even if it was served in a completely shapeless rough porcelain bowl, the things Qiao Yu made looked delicious.

Qiao Ling's eyes lit up, he looked at Qiao Yu again and asked, "Can you spare a little to worship my parents and elder brother?"

Qiao Yu raised his chin towards the kitchen, "Go and serve it, it's in the kitchen."

Only when Qiao Ling went to the kitchen did he see that Qiao Yu had already prepared everything, putting it on a plate and holding it in a bowl.

After dinner in the afternoon, the two of them had nothing to do, and the snow began to fall outside again, and the white fell to the ground. Qiao Yu was wrapped in the quilt and drowsy, but Qiao Ling refused to let him Falling asleep, shaking him from time to time, saying that at thirty nights one must watch the year old, otherwise... otherwise, Qiao Ling would not be able to explain why. The right ear came out, and now I want to talk about Qiao Yu, but I find that I don't remember it at all.

Qiao Ling stood up suddenly and said, "By the way, I remembered. On a day like today, the palace must be lively. The royal relatives and relatives gather together for the New Year's dinner. There must be flowers. My father used to take me to see it." Yes, let’s go, I’ll take you with me today.”

Setting off flowers is also setting off fireworks. As a time traveler whose soul comes from the future, Qiao Yu has never seen any kind of fireworks, so naturally he has no interest in the fireworks of this era. Putting on thick clothes, he went out with Qiao Ling.

Qiao Ling took Qiao Yu's hand and walked ahead enthusiastically.

Only at this time, Qiao Ling will reveal a little immaturity that matches his age.

Qiao Yu sighed inwardly, let it be colder.

"Can ordinary people go out to watch the fireworks in the palace?" Qiao Yu asked.

Qiao Ling shook his head: "Of course the imperial palace is not allowed to go, but I know where to look, let's go faster, if we go late, there might be no room."

Well, you have to sneak a peek just to watch the fireworks. It’s too miserable for an ancient person who doesn’t have any entertainment.

Qiao Yu shrank her neck, feeling that the snowflakes had been poured into her clothes.

Qiao Ling was right. Along the way, he met many people who were walking towards the palace excitedly with their children. Qiao Ling dragged him around the crowd, and got into a small alley.

"Go this way, there are too many people outside."

Qiao Yu looked at both sides of the alley, and saw that they were all wealthy families, and at first glance, it was not a place where ordinary people lived.

"What is this place? How do you know this path?"

Qiao Ling chuckled, "I found it by accident a year ago, and I usually wouldn't dare to walk through these alleys, but after walking a few times, I realized that it's actually just passing by and no one cares."

Qiao Ling led Qiao Yu to turn left and right in the alley, and it was exactly as he said, but he didn't see a single person.

Qiao Ling turned his head and said to Qiao Yu proudly: "Look, as long as you pass through the alley in front, you will be able to reach the place I mentioned. It must be easier than other people..."

"Be careful."

Qiao Yu violently pulled Qiao Ling behind him, but Qiao Ling couldn't care about himself, and with a "bang", he collided with the oncoming person.

"......morning......"

Only then did Qiao Ling finish the sentence, but Qiao Yu squatted down covering his nose in pain.
