Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 59

Feng county magistrate came full of expectations and left with satisfaction. Aunt Qiu, who just sat on the bench for a long time, was very lonely, but no matter how lonely she is, she has her own gains.

When I go back to my parents' house later, I must tell my parents to pay special attention to this dude called Du Qingchen, and never offend him! This person is not only a friend of Su Junxia, ​​but also has a younger brother who is the first name in the exam, and a disciple that Master Liu cares about very much. Now he is the magistrate of Feng, and he also means to treat him as his junior. Such a person is no longer Their Qiu family can be offended.

Aunt Qiu suppressed the bitterness and bitterness in her heart, how good would it have been if her family married her to Du Qingchen back then? They are of the same age, they are beautiful, and Du Qingchen is handsome, isn't it a match made in heaven? And Du Qingchen marrying her is not much better than that petite brother? Today, she can still help the family, perhaps even more useful than being the concubine of the magistrate Feng! It's a pity, the daughter's family was determined by her parents, and she couldn't help herself.

Magistrate Feng has no intention of caring about what the people around him are thinking. He just hummed a little tune happily, full of friends he just met. I will post a post tomorrow and invite Brother Liu to talk about it! No no no no! Brother Liu still has a private school to take care of, so it's better to wait until the day of the rest.

In the restaurant, Master Liu didn't say anything about Du Qingchen's failure to deliver food to him. He knew it as soon as he arrived, and he must have been delayed by Brother Feng. Naturally, he wouldn't be angry, but Du Qingchen still explained it to him. , and also asked Xiao Er to go to the back kitchen to take the prepared food box to the private school. Master Liu declined for a few words, and finally accepted it with a pretense of helplessness.

Du Qingchen held back his laughter, took the food box himself, and sent Master Liu back to the private school.

"Oh, isn't this the owner of the restaurant?" A businessman was walking on the street, facing Du Qingchen who was returning face to face, and said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Du Qingchen pondered for a moment, and quickly remembered, "It's the guest who talked to me last time because of Mi Nanghua!" Strictly speaking, it was the guest who scolded him.

"Exactly." Xingshang smiled, "The boss has a good memory."

"It's only a few days." Du Qingchen smiled, "Is your goods sold?"

"Yes! I went to the provincial capital of Hanjun. , I have sold all the cotton cloths I brought, and I was planning to go home. No, I happened to pass by here. Thinking of the last time the boss bravely caught the drug dealer, I couldn't help but come over for a meal, and feel at ease, right? This kind of businessman who runs business all over the world is afraid of thieves, bandits, officials, and black shops. The boss here makes people feel at ease!"

"Your words are the biggest compliment to me, please." Du Qingchen smiled. Hands over, he asked someone to enter the store.

When the people entered the store and sat down, Du Qingchen asked him what he wanted to eat, and just as he was about to go to the back kitchen to prepare, he saw the merchant took out a small box from the package and opened it, revealing the red powder inside.

Du Qingchen turned his head and looked at the box of chili powder, he couldn't help but said, "This thing is made from ground chili peppers?"

Xingshang was surprised, "I know the boss! Oh yes, I'm from the south, and we grow this in our hometown. When I go out to do business, I always think of this smell, so I asked my wife to grind these for me, let me take it with me, put a little bit when I eat, and it can also relieve my homesickness."

Du Qingchen asked Xiao Er When I went to the kitchen to order, I sat down instead, which made the businessman very puzzled. Du Qingchen bowed his hands and said, "I want to ask your Excellency one thing, how much of this pepper is there in your hometown? Can it be dried? I want to buy some."

"Boss Du wants this?" Xingshang was stunned, and then smiled: "This thing is nothing, but... To tell you the truth, I tried to sell it, after all, it is relatively north. For example, this is a new item, but when I showed it to the owner of the restaurant, they threw me out after tasting it, saying that I was teasing them! This thing can't be imported at all. Boss Du, why not? , will you try it first?"

The trader has sold chili peppers, but I can't tell if it's bad luck or something else. The people I meet are people who can't eat spicy food, and this thing is extremely irritating. Directly drying the ground powder is no different from eating raw dried chili peppers. , Every time the snot of the restaurant bosses flowed, he always returned with a feather in his mouth. Later, he didn't think about it. He thought that maybe the people in the north didn't like this taste.

Du Qingchen smiled and took the chopsticks, lightly picked up a little and put it in his mouth, he had already prepared, and the dried chili was directly ground, it must be full of spicy taste.

Du Qingchen's expression didn't change, "It's okay, this is the thing, but I don't want powder, just dried peppers!"

Xingshang was very happy, "Since the boss really wants it, that's fine! I'll deliver it to you, and the price will be based on three How about ten cents a pound? Pay 10% of the deposit first. After all, you want this thing. If you go back on it in the future, I won't be able to deal with it!"

Du Qingchen shook his head, "Ten cents a catty, you and I have taken the identity. The document goes to the government to sign the contract, and no one will regret it, I will give you 20% as a deposit." Thirty cents per pound, what a fool! Chili is just the fruit that grows from plants, and he has seen pictures of chili peppers in his previous life, and there are still quite a few chili peppers. I am afraid that the yield is higher than that of ordinary grains. Even if the freight is added, it is not so expensive.

"Twenty wen! It's not because I'm gushing. There aren't many households growing this thing. I have to go door-to-door to buy it. It's very time-consuming and energy-consuming!"

"It's done!" One mu of chili, after all, this thing is not very circulated in the market at all, and it is indeed a bit troublesome to acquire.

"Okay! Boss is refreshing! Now go to the government to sign the contract?" Xingshang clapped his hands together.

"Do you want to eat first?" Du Qingchen asked, isn't this person here to eat?

"Eat, eat! Go after eating, yes yes yes! I'm still hungry, it's not a business, I forget it when I'm happy! Hey! By the way, after Zhang Kang, Boss Du will just call me by my name. "

"Brother Zhang." Du Qingchen bowed his hands, "I don't know when Brother Zhang will be delivered? We have to set a date!"

"One month! For a month, I will ship a batch for you first, and you will try it first. Let's see, if it works, I'll increase the strength of the acquisition, if it doesn't work, hey, it's just a one-shot deal." Zhang Kang plans to quickly enter and quickly make a fortune, try the water, and also prevent Du Qingchen from cheating him and don't want him. This batch of goods, he will not lose too much.

Du Qingchen also had the same worry, so it's best, everyone should try it out first to see the situation, if it's good, then naturally they can cooperate slowly.

...

Half a month later, the magistrate Feng asked a catcher to send a letter, saying that he had found a few shops for him and asked him to go and see if he was satisfied. The restaurant was crowded at that time. Suddenly, a catcher came in, making everyone nervous, afraid that he was going to arrest someone or something. As a result, the catcher took out the envelope from his arms, handed it to Du Qingchen, and said that he was here to replace Feng. Sent by the county magistrate.

Everyone's eyes on Du Qingchen changed in an instant, Du Qingchen just pretended he didn't see it, calmly opened the letter, and after reading it at a glance, he laughed, "It's really troublesome for Feng County Magistrate, busy with such trivial matters as me. "

Not busy, not busy, we usually have nothing to do." Chu Kuai smiled and waved his hands, looking around for a week, he had heard that the food in the Dujia restaurant was good, and today I came here because of the letter delivery, no matter what I want to eat again Walk.

Du Qingchen noticed the look in front of the chubby chasing Kuai, and said with a smile: "This messenger has worked hard to deliver the letter, why don't you stay and have a light meal before leaving? It's also my heart."

"It's easy to say, I heard about Du The restaurant is good, even the magistrate Feng is full of praise, I wish you could open a restaurant in the county right away, then I really tried it today! Hey, you're welcome!" Chu Kuai said with a smile.

Du Qingchen also laughed, "Of course you're welcome. In the future, when I go to the county seat to open a restaurant, I'll have to rely on the messenger to take care of me."

"Don't dare! You are under the protection of the magistrate Feng, who can do anything to you." Chu Kuai smiled and found a seat by himself. Of course, he is not usually a freelancer, but well! He really helped deliver the letter today, so it wouldn't be too much to eat Du Qingchen! Hehe...

On the next day, Du Qingchen took Su Dong to the county seat to see a few shops that the magistrate Feng had selected for him. Su Dong went to the door one by one to ask about the address, and after seeing the facilities in the store, they returned to the town with Su Dong.

"Which one do you like?" Du Qingchen asked Su Dong.

"Me? You can decide for yourself!" Su Dong scratched his head, how could he understand this, and he didn't know how to do business.

"Of course I want to ask you, this is our family's property purchase, aren't you also the boss?" Du Qingchen said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, why would I bring you here? Will you walk with me all day in vain?

" Yes, he was well taken care of by Du Qingchen, so he was used to being rude. Seeing that Du Qingchen really asked him what he meant, he expressed his thoughts, "I like the one in Xijiekou, so now it is a The restaurant is much better than the other two satin shops and dim sum shops. At least, we can save a fortune and don't need to renovate the storefront."

Save money! In Su Dong's eyes, it is the first priority.

Du Qingchen couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Apart from this?"

"Apart from this...then I like dim sum shops. The door is bustling, so the business should be very good!"

"But the satin shop is the closest to the county office." Du Qingchen laughed.

"Yes! Since the magistrate Feng wants you to drive next to the county office, if you choose a silk and satin shop, he will definitely come here often in the future, and others will not dare to underestimate you!" Su Dong said, what should I do? Each has its own advantages! He didn't know how to choose either.

"Then let's go to the restaurant at the entrance of Xijiekou! Renovate the shop in the province, save money!" Du Qingchen said.

Moreover, the space in the backyard is also large, although the location is a bit off, but he has takeaways, and the most important thing is the location. Also, the ancients did not regard time as money as much as the modern people, even if they took a few more steps, for most people, it does not matter, as long as they think it is really worth it. For example, now, many people in the county or businessmen have traveled all the way to the town to eat a meal from his family.

"But Magistrate Feng..." Su Dong was confused.

"He doesn't have time to come and go every day! And he comes and goes every day, so I'm going to have trouble! Besides, the location of the satin shop is very good, and the price is also expensive. In addition to the renovation, our money is not enough. It turned out to be The one in the restaurant is very good, and there is a lot of work left." Du Qingchen said.

"You don't like Magistrate Feng?" Su Dong said blankly, Magistrate Feng is obviously very nice! Master Liu said he was fine.

"No, I don't like it, it's just..." I don't want to hand in homework every day! Du Qingchen silently covered his face. "It's just that our money is really not enough. Although the restaurant in the town makes money, the time is too short. We didn't have much money left before, so...there is no way!"

Su Dong thought for a while and muttered. "I always feel like you don't think so, and you're lying again."

"Aiya!" Du Qingchen stared in surprise, "Am I not a good character? How can I often lie to people! Master Liu praises me all the time? Huai Jin is holding Yu, and her heart is playful, don't you believe what Master Liu said?"

Su Dong gave Du Qingchen a white look, he still felt that Du Qingchen was just talking nonsense, but he couldn't say why.

After Du Qingchen settled on the restaurant, he quickly paid the money to transfer the land deed to his own name. The pound of peppers successfully quelled Du Qingchen.

"Didn't you say...I'm only going to bring some over here, so let's try it first?" Du Qingchen said in a daze, these more than 100 catties of chili peppers are enough for him to use for a year! Do not! I'm afraid that two or three years will not be used up!

Zhang Kang scratched his head, "I didn't expect it either! I was thinking of buying it for three or four days, so I hurried over to avoid problems. As a result, the people on our side have never seen anyone who bought peppercorns. I want to collect dried peppers, and relatives pass on relatives, and it spreads all over the world. Everyone has packed up and sold all the inventory at home to me, and it will not work if you don't collect them."

"You don't mean that the people in your place are so popular. Do you eat all the peppers yourself? Why don't you keep some for yourself, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to eat them?" Du Qingchen said with difficulty.

"To tell you the truth, the peppers have been bearing fruit all the time. Our place is warm, and there are peppers all year round, almost three seasons. Although the weather has been cold recently, the peppers have not been fruited much, but they are still available. If you have a few, you don't have it, just go to a relative's house to get it, anyway, I can't collect it all, so it's serious to sell it first."

"Do you think... Twenty pennies a pound, you cheated me. A handful?"

"Is there? No!" Zhang Kang looked innocent, "I didn't know I would charge so much! I really didn't expect it, really, Boss Du, no one in our side has ever accepted it. This. Of course... This time, my business is indeed easier to do, but the contract has been made, and it is still filed by the government, Boss Du, this..."

"I know." Du Qingchen nodded, "I don't plan to go back on it. , I just want to say that in the past year, I should not have to ship the second batch of peppers."

Zhang Kang smiled. "Understood, we are the people who can eat spicy food, so many peppers are enough to eat him for several lifetimes."

Du Qingchen: ...

you know!

Du Qingchen had just bought the restaurant, and he didn't have much money left in his pocket, so he spent more than two taels of silver to pay for the peppers.

Zhang Kang naturally took it up cheerfully, and said, "This is the line that I have been familiar with on weekdays. I transport things from my hometown to the provincial capital of Han County. I pass by here every time, Boss Du, if you have anything else. If you need anything, remember to tell me! You are righteous! So many peppers, just because you signed a contract, you swallowed all your trustworthiness, and didn't even pay me back the price! You are a good person, I am happy to follow you Doing business! Hehe..."

Although Du Qingchen was a little surprised at first, he was very happy when he finally got the chili pepper, and he didn't care about Zhang Kang's fuss. I should still ask you to ship peppers."

If they still can't grow peppers next year.

"It's done!" Zhang Kang didn't really believe it, there were so many peppers that Du Qingchen could sell for several years, so don't count on it, just treat Du Qingchen as being polite.

Zhang Kang also brought other goods this time, so he didn't stay here any longer, and went straight to the provincial capital of Hanjun, and Du Qingchen also took the pepper and went back to study the pepper oil.

It is true that people in the North are not used to eating raw chili peppers. There are very few people like Tao Xiude who are naturally addicted to spiciness. Even Du Qingchen himself does not like to eat chili peppers directly, nor does dried chili peppers.

The real use of chili is not to make chili oil? ! It's chili powder, shouldn't it be fried first? ! After eating Zhang Kang's chili powder last time, he realized that the people in Zhang Kang's hometown did not seem to have given the chili a fire, but directly ground the dried chili into powder without adding any other spices. Salt, the spiciness is too strong! Naturally unpleasant.

That night, after the other guys left, Du Qingchen started to fry the peppers. First, cut the dried peppers into small pieces, and then stir-fry the dried and chopped peppers with the peppercorns, cinnamon and other spices until crispy and fragrant. Du Qingchen didn't expect this thing to be so delicious. Choking, I almost couldn't hold back and ran out, my nose was flowing, and I was coughing more and more.

"What's the matter?" Su Dong knew that Du Qingchen was working on a new dish again, so he didn't bother, but when he heard Du Qingchen coughing desperately in the kitchen, he couldn't help but come over to take a look. As soon as he came in, he choked his nose The spicy smell made tears flow down, but this taste is really fragrant! It's just too choking!

"Brother, you go out first! Cough, it will be fine soon." Du Qingchen opened the window with difficulty, but there is no exhaust fan, just the window can't remove the spicy smell in the house, no! If you are frying peppers, it is useless to have an exhaust fan!

Du Qingchen finally cooked the first pot, ran out after extinguishing the firewood, and bent over and coughed in the yard together with Su Dong. He didn't recover for a long time. Du Qingchen washed his face.

"What are you doing?" Su Dong asked curiously, the smell was too strong.

"You'll find out later, by the way, how do you eat chili?" Du Qingchen was entangled in Su Dong's allergies again. He felt that Su Dong had never eaten chili.

"I don't know, I haven't eaten it." Su Dong shook his head.

Du Qingchen thought for a while, "When the hospital opens tomorrow, you can taste a little bit to see if there is any reaction." You can't be afraid of allergies, and you will never eat chili peppers all your life. Those days were boring, you have to try to see if chili peppers are an allergen. one of.

"Okay." Su Dong nodded.

Du Qingchen just entered the kitchen and took out the chilled chilli from the pot. After coming out, he took the two clean stones that he had prepared before, sandwiched the chilli, ground it and dropped it into the pot below. Su Dong saw him and went up to help.

Soon, the chili powder was freshly baked, and Du Qingchen put some seasonings such as salt in it, and then used chopsticks to pick some to taste, and nodded silently, "Not bad! Very fragrant."

"I'll try it, I'll try it!" Su Dong said curiously, the pungent odor of the chili peppers had dissipated at this moment, leaving only a faint fragrance, and Su Dong couldn't restrain himself from drooling.

"Here." Du Qingchen subconsciously handed over the chopsticks.

Su Dong grabbed the chopsticks in one bite, licked the tip of his tongue, took off the chili powder on it, squinted his eyes and tasted it for a moment, then nodded quickly, "It's delicious! It's a little spicy, but more fragrant! It's spicy again. It's delicious!"

"Yeah!" It's much more delicious than what Zhang Kang's family made! Du Qingchen was also very happy, but the next moment, Du Qingchen was stunned, "You just..." Eat!

Du Qingchen immediately put down his chopsticks, "Is there any discomfort? Do you feel your throat is swollen?! Are you stupid? I didn't tell you just now, the medical center will open tomorrow, you can try it again, in case you repeat the same way as last time. It's the same, I don't know how long it takes to call the doctor! You have to suffer!"

Su Dong was yelled at by Du Qingchen and blinked, "But I think...I'm fine!" Nothing happened.

Du Qingchen stared at Su Dong worriedly in the middle of the night, and as expected, he didn't react, so he was relieved. Just now, he was really careless. When he usually cooks, Su Dong always eats next to him, and he is used to it. Well , I just handed it to him just now...

Fortunately, it's fine! Du Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned off the light and put his arms around Su Dong to sleep.
