Farming Food Tycoon (The Culinary Tycoon) - Chapter 149
Xue Baishu’s shouting made the shoppers laugh again.
It’s great to be young, and it reminds them of the beauty when they were young and longing for marriage with their beloved.
Brother Le and the others finished eating. When they left, Brother Le winked at Brother Chang, and his thumbs were relatively bend.
When Brother Chang saw that Brother Le teased him again, he was immediately embarrassed and waved at him, “Go for acupuncture!”
Brother Le nodded, and gestured again: Waiting for the feet, let’s go to Anfu Temple to pay our vows.
“Good.” Brother Chang nodded in response.
Having said that, Le Geer flexed his eyebrows and took Yu Qingze’s hand and left.
Seeing that Brother Chang and Xue Baishu were able to succeed together so quickly, Brother Le was very happy. Brother Chang is his best friend over the years. Although the two are five years apart, their relationship has always been good. Especially in the past two years, the two have become close as brothers.
Yu Qingze turned his head to look at Brother Le, saw him smiling openly, squeezed his hand, and asked, “Very happy?”
Brother Le nodded, scratched Yu Qingze’s palm with his fingers, and gestured with the other hand: I think they should be married soon.
Yu Qingze grasped the stranger’s hand tightly, squeezed it, and said, “Well, let’s think about what gifts to give them.”
Brother Le brightened his eyes and gestured: Send a wardrobe like ours. Brother Chang looked at it before and liked it very much. Or our big bed and dressing table.
Yu Qingze nodded and said, “Yes. Then you can ask them first, what if they do it at home?”
Brother Le nodded, already planning in his heart.
Yu Qingze needs to think more. Brother Chang will get married at that time, and he will definitely not live in the store. It is better to find a brother to fill the vacancy in the kitchen. It is best to find a brother who is already married and the child is older…
Moreover, I have to confirm with Brother Chang if he can work after getting married? If he can’t, he has to train a store manager before he gets married.
Xue Baishu was really anxious. He went home that day and talked to Doctor Xue and Doctor Ye. Then the matchmaker invited by the Xue family came the next day.
Fortunately, Xue Baishu went to talk to Brother Chang in the evening, and he went back early, otherwise he would not be at home when the matchmaker arrived at home.
Regarding this marriage, Chang’s father naturally has no opinion, but he is a little worried about the big door of the Xue family, whether Chang’s married will be disgusted.
However, this is the photo of Chang’s brother, and they can only agree, and then ask Chang to marry him to be more diligent, filial, and do more things and talk less.
Brother Chang agreed one by one, and chatted with his father for a long time to relieve them.
The marriage of the two was soon settled a year ago, and they will get married on the auspicious day of April of the following year. In the previous three months, the two families had each prepared their own marriage-related matters.
When their marriage was confirmed, Yu Qingze went to ask Chang’s brother about his plan.
Brother Chang personally was very willing, but he still discussed with Xue Baishu.
Xue Baishu didn’t want to make Brother Chang work harder, but his family has a very fine tradition. He even came out to do what he likes after getting married. His father also agreed, and his father’s feelings It’s also very good. I haven’t quarreled much, except for hiding things from his patients before.
Therefore, he also learned to be a father and respected Brother Chang’s wishes. He just emphasized that if he becomes pregnant and becomes physically inconvenient, he must put his body first and wait for delivery at home with peace of mind.
Brother Chang naturally agreed, and only then returned to Yu Qingze.
With this news, Yu Qingze has saved a lot of things.
Soon, it’s New Year.
Yu Ji’s two shops were closed on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone cleaned up. In the afternoon, they closed the doors and windows of the shops, locked them, and went home for the New Year.
Le Ge’er’s treatment was suspended for four days, and he could go back to the second day of the middle school. Yu Qingze drove the rented carriage back home with him, and he could pick up Le brother at that time.
On the twenty-eight and twenty-nine days, the family was busy killing pigs, buying new year goods, hanging lanterns and pasting New Year pictures, and preparing New Year’s stuff.
Yu Qingze and the three of them have rarely lived at home since Jufu Building opened, and only Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao remain. Now that they are back, the huge house is finally no longer so deserted and full of popularity. Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao are very happy.
Chang Hao is naturally the happiest. Brother and the others came back, which not only meant that the food was delicious, but also that someone played with him.
So, since returning home, all the free time of Jiabao has been stuck by Chang Hao. He will play slingshot, kick the shuttlecock, go to the mountains to catch birds, and beg him to teach him arithmetic…
It’s also very busy.
On New Year’s Eve, the whole family got up early in the morning and had breakfast, then took some New Year goods and set off to Caifu.
Because of the family treasure, the two families have gotten closer, and they made an appointment to have a reunion dinner together on New Year’s Eve, and Yu Qingze and the others would go home again in the afternoon.
Mr. Cai’s husband and wife also returned to Tongshan from Yunzhou yesterday. Cai Chenxi was in the capital, and he couldn’t come back because of the lack of vacation. As long as the family was born, he was missing.
Mrs. Cai’s husband is a gentle and gentle person, and he is also very easy to get along with.
Although it was the first time that Yu Qingze and the others met, because Cai Fulang was very approachable, he quickly became acquainted with them.
After sitting for a while, Yu Qingze took Le and Jiabao to the kitchen to prepare a reunion dinner.
Most of the servants of the Cai Mansion have also gone home for the New Year. Only Fu Bo is left in the kitchen, and the little servant is only left with Mi Geer and the other two who have been to Cai Mansion since childhood, and a few other guards.
Cai Fulang talked to Cai Lao Fulang and Cai Yunwei for a while, and then they came to the kitchen to help.
The whole family followed the division of labor arranged by Yu Qingze, and they were chatting and cooking together for the New Year dinner, which was very pleasant.
It didn’t take long for Lord Luo’s family to also come over with New Year’s gifts.
Luo Mingda is acting as the county magistrate here, and the annual vacation is only a few days, so naturally it is impossible to return to the capital to celebrate the new year. Before Mrs. Cai came back, Mr. Cai asked Mr. Cai to invite them to have a reunion dinner together.
Luo Mingda readily agreed. The chef in Cai’s Mansion learned from Yu Qingze, and it is better than his own chef in cooking.
When they arrived at Cai’s Mansion, he was immediately happier to learn that Yu Qingze and his family were also there, and they were still chefs in the kitchen.
This reunion dinner is right!
Luo Mingda accompanied Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai while they were writing couplets. Lovelang handed his two sons to the young man, and went to the kitchen to help. Cai Fulang, Cai Fulang, they are all busy in the kitchen, it is too unreasonable to sit like this.
Because there are so many people, there are so many dishes prepared, and when everything is ready, it is past noon. However, the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner is basically eaten late, it doesn’t matter.
The Cai family, the Luo family, and Yu Qingze have a big round table, and the next people have a big table, exactly two tables. After the firecrackers were burned, they ate lively.
There is a large table of meat and vegetables, and all tastes are taken care of. With Yu Qingze and Le Ge’er and their craftsmanship, the color, fragrance, and flavor are perfect. Everyone eats very satisfied.
This is also the first time that there are so many people celebrating the New Year in the Cai Mansion, and the old lady and husband of Cai are very happy.
At the dinner table, Master Cai told Yu Qingze: “I have received the news that the threshing machine and Fenggu cart have been reported. The court attaches great importance to it. After the two principals came to see them, they confirmed that they were true and wrote a memorial to them. The emperor happened to have made the threshing machine by the Ministry of Industry. The emperor had seen Longyan Dayue and immediately approved it to give you a reward. Because it happened to coincide with the Chinese New Year, it was postponed to send it out after the new year.”
Everyone was very happy when they heard this.
Yu Qingze said: “It’s thanks to the adults who reported it.”
“It’s more than that.” Master Cai said again: “I have put your toothbrushes, clothes brushes, strollers, walkers, etc. together. Those things are small and easy to take. The emperor saw it. I know that the toothbrushes he used this year and the newly popular items in Beijing were originally made by you. The emperor also gave special instructions for these small objects that benefit the people, indicating that they will be rewarded. He also took a pen from his own treasure house. Reward you.”
“What? You made the toothbrush too, boss Yu?” Luo Mingda asked curiously when he heard that this thing was made by Yu Qingze for the first time.
Yu Qingze nodded and replied: “I did it very rough, but the woodworkers improved afterwards, and the more they do, the better.”
“Awesome!” Luo Mingda gave a thumbs up and praised.
Not only does the dishes taste delicious, he also knows how to do business, but he also does these things. I really have never seen anyone smarter than his brain.
The most important thing is that the dishes are really delicious. What if he returns to the capital in the future?
Luo Mingda was a little sad.
It was necessary to drink some wine during the reunion dinner, and Yu Qingze drank a lot with Master Cai and Master Luo. After the meal, they rested for a while in Cai Mansion before returning home before dark.
In the evening, I made dumplings, made a few more dishes, and ate them together.
After eating, tidy up, everyone sits at the table around the charcoal pot and eats snacks to keep the year old.
When the fire was about to start in winter, Yu Qingze asked Brother Le to make a fire quilt. At this time, the table was covered with a fire quilt, and the feet reached in, and the whole lower body was covered by the quilt, which was very warm.
Yu Qingze and Le Brother looked at each other, and then said to Grandpa Chang: “Grandpa, there is something we want to discuss with you.”
“What’s the matter?” Grandpa Chang asked.
Yu Qingze said: “My brother Le, and Jiabao, because I’m taking care of business in the city, and I don’t usually have time to come back. I can’t take care of you and Xiaohao. So I discussed with Brother Le and planned to stay in the city. Buy a yard, and then move the family to live in the city so that our family does not have to be separated. What do you think?”
“Moving to the city?” Grandpa Chang was surprised, and then asked, “What about the field?”
Yu Qingze said: “Lease the field to the villagers for planting. We can’t usually take care of it. You are too hard alone. Brother Le and I feel distressed. Now that the conditions at home are better, there is no need to farm so hard. We all hope that you can take good care of your body and enjoy more happiness.”
Grandpa Chang took a sip of his dry smoke and asked, “Where is Xiaohao studying?”
Yu Qingze said: “I have already inquired about. There are several schools in the city. I have already picked one. Then Xiao Hao can just go over and study.”
“Where are those potato, cauliflower, and cabbage?” Grandpa Chang asked again.
“These can be entrusted to the village chief. These will be planted by the villagers in the future, and they all know that they will take care of them.”
Hearing this, Grandpa Chang was silent for a long time, and then asked: “Do you like the yard?”
Yu Qingze nodded and said, “There are two more suitable places in the west of the city. They are not as big as their homes, but they are okay. They are also close to North Avenue. We want to say that we will go and see together and make a reservation when you agree. When you make more money in the future, you can change to a bigger one.”
“I see.” Grandpa Chang glanced at Chang Hao and asked, “Xiao Hao, what do you think? Do you want to go to the city?”
Chang Hao nodded and said, “I want to live together as a family.”
Grandpa Chang nodded, then looked up at the house, and said, “It’s just that this house has only been living in for a long time, and it’s a pity to move again.”
When Grandpa Chang said so, he agreed. Yu Qingze smiled and said, “When you want to come back to live in the future, you can also come back to live for a while, just treat it as another courtyard.”
That’s it. After the eighth day snack bar and Jufu Building opened, Yu Qingze found a day when Le Ge’er didn’t need to go to acupuncture and moxibustion one morning. Voting, finally selected a new home.
When Yu Qingze went to Cai Mansion, he borrowed four hundred taels of silver from Cai Lao Fu Lang, then added two hundred taels of silver himself and bought the yard.
After finishing the deed, they repaired it again, and finally chose a good day, and then the family moved into the new home.
At this time, it was already late February.
The rewards for the new farm tools issued by the imperial court were also distributed, a total of two hundred taels, and Yu Qingze gave one hundred taels of them to the village chief’s house. If they weren’t able to do this, it might not be possible to get it.
The village chief and the others dodged it for a while, and finally accepted it.
Over the past year or so, because of Yu Qingze’s drawings and lavender, the village chief’s family finally saved enough money, and now their new house has begun to be built.
There is also a good thing to celebrate. There was news from Lord Cai that the court had investigated the incident of Lu Hongsheng, the prefect of Qingzhou, who used power for personal gain and sheltered relatives. Lu Hongsheng was sentenced to prison and two murder cases committed by Jia Xiaoren were investigated. In the end, Jia Xiaoren was sentenced to execution, Jia Mansion ransacked the house, and Jia’s father Zongzi committed the murder and was exiled. The minister of household department was also demoted.
When everyone heard it, they clapped their hands and applauded, and they praised the court for doing a good thing this time and eliminating harm for the people. Especially the people in Qingzhou City, it is said that on the day Jia Mansion ransacked their homes, everyone spontaneously lit firecrackers to celebrate.
In early March, the day after the new fleet shipped fresh squid, prawns and clams back for the first time, the teppanyaki restaurant jointly opened by Yu Qingze and Zhao Shaoye and Hu was finally opened.
