Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 77

Du Qingchen was worried, if the disaster relief food really ran out, the disaster victims outside the city would be violent. This is not a trivial matter. There is no misfortune. Since ancient times, the victims will be very hungry, but they will rise up. A mere city gate can't stop the hungry and crazy victims. If they break into the city...

Du Qingchen secretly thinks about retreating, but at this time, it is not possible to leave the city. It will only be more chaotic, and he can only stay in the city, but if he stays in the city, if he really reaches that point, how will he protect his family? I just hope Taishou Tao can come up with a solution to solve this problem!

Du Qingchen was in a low mood, but it didn't take long for him to feel low, and his father Su came to him. Seeing that he was busy and a little restrained, he didn't know if he should speak. Du Qingchen asked first, "What's wrong?"

Father Du said, "Didn't you say last time that sweet potatoes are sticky, do you want to study how to extract that sticky thing to make cakes?"

"Well, yes." Du Qingchen didn't make rock candy first, but when he was eating sweet potatoes one day, he told his family that the sweet potatoes were sticky. White sugar is made of brown sugar and the like with the addition of yellow muddy water. This makes so much money, maybe other things can also be done!

Du Rulin just looked up at him and didn't say anything. He just thought that Du Qingchen had eaten the sweetness of white sugar, so he only wanted to make new things and make money. He didn't think there was anything strange about Du Qingchen's actions. , Besides, at the moment, all his thoughts were on preparing for the exam, even though Du Qingchen was a little strange, he didn't have the energy to think too much.

Seeing that Du Rulin was not suspicious, Du Qingchen also breathed a sigh of relief. After he raised this point, he didn't do it himself, nor did he come up with any way to make vermicelli, but left it to Mother Su to study and play.

Du Qingchen remembered that the vermicelli is made from sweet potatoes, and after crushing the sweet potato, rinse the sweet potato powder with water, let the water let it sit, and then skim off the water on the top. He felt that if Mother Su tried more, she would always be able to try this method, so she didn't mention it, even if she couldn't study it, he would give it a little guidance, and he would definitely be able to do it.

"Your mother made it out, it's all cooked, and it's sitting in the yard!" Father Su smiled honestly.

"So fast!" Du Qingchen was taken aback. It seems that the reason why vermicelli has never appeared in this world is only because others never thought of extracting the starch from sweet potatoes to make food, but they just didn't pierce that layer of window paper.

"That's right!" Father Su scratched his head, "Actually, it's quite easy, just... woo woo..." Du Qingchen stepped forward and covered Father Su's mouth.

"Dad, let's go back and have a look! Go back and talk." Du Qingchen laughed, let go of Father Su, and dragged him back. The people in the store didn't care. After all, Du Qingchen was often not in the store, and they were all used to it. Now, as for what Father Du said, they didn't know the inside story, and they didn't understand it, and they quickly forgot about it.

At home, Su's mother's hearty laughter spread outside the house. Before Du Qingchen entered the door, she heard Su's mother's unique loud voice, and hurriedly walked in. In the yard, Du's father, Su Dong and others were sitting on the table in the yard. , looked at the thick gray-black object in a wooden basin, and Father Du even wanted to reach out and break off a piece to taste.

Mother Su didn't stop her, proudly akimbo said: "This must be the dim sum that Qing Chen said, it can definitely be made!"

Father Du took a bite and shook his head silently, "It's not delicious, you can't make dim sum, Moreover, Qingchen means that whether it is possible to use the stickiness to make other desserts, it is not to cook it into such a big piece, I have tasted this piece, and it is not as delicious as the sweet potato itself!"

It's definitely not delicious to eat raw noodles! There was no smell at all, Du Qingchen walked over quickly, rushing over to Su's mother to get angry, and refuted Father Du before interjecting with a smile, "I will taste it, I will taste it."

Only then did Du Qingchen see the large piece of ash in the wooden basin. The black object is smooth and elastic, and the shape is exactly what the wooden basin in his kitchen was buckled upside down. It can be seen that what mother Su used to steam it, Du Qingchen stretched out his hand and poked it, and the vermicelli moved tremblingly, um, After confirming the eyes, it is a piece of vermicelli that has not been dried.

Du Qingchen raised his hand and broke it off. Fortunately, the vermicelli was not dried in the sun, and it had a lot of water, so it was easy to break off. Du Qingchen tasted it in his mouth, frowned and thought, this thing is not a traditional vermicelli. It's a whole piece, and if you put too much water, I'm afraid it won't be able to form into a vermicelli. You have to tell Mother Su that it needs to be improved, but what does he say!

Father Du has already said: "Qingchen, you also think this thing is not good, right! I just told her that the dried sweet potato flour before does not need to add water, that is what you want, add some when making snacks Going in, it will increase the stickiness and the dessert will be formed, but she has to add water to cook it, and said she wants to see what delicious things can be cooked."

"Hey you... my family, this is also for me. Why don't you try it? Qingchen also tried it out when he made white sugar. If I try more, maybe I can come up with other good things!" Mother Su said dissatisfiedly, but considering the identity of Father Du, it's not really good. The quarrel can only suppress his own violent temper.

Du Qingchen hurriedly said: "It's a good thing, it can be used, I'll go back and study how to make something delicious. Of course, mother, I want that sweet potato flour, I want this one too, do you think?"

"Of course I can. Ah!" Mother Su laughed.

"Mother, this, this sweet potato nugget! Can we put in less water, so that it will be harder? Then pull it into shreds and cook it, so will the shape look better?" Du Qingchen tentatively proposed vermicelli looks like.

Mother Su was taken aback, "Would you like to try it?" She also felt that this large piece was very ugly, and I was afraid that it would be troublesome to use.

"That's great, I'll get you a sieve tomorrow and see if you can make it the same shape as the noodles. Of course, the thinner the better, the thinner the better!" Du Qingchen laughed.

"Are you really going to make this grayish thing? Here, how do you cook it?" Father Du was dissatisfied and puzzled, just pretending that Du Qingchen was coaxing his mother-in-law to be happy, and he couldn't do anything at all.

"Father, I tasted this tasteless, I thought, less water will make it harder, maybe it can be made like noodles, then I will put more peppers and more seasonings, I will try it first. , no, let's talk about it!" He was going to make a hot and sour powder, and he would definitely do it. In the future, we can make pork vermicelli stew, vermicelli stewed spareribs, spinach ball soup, leek vermicelli buns, and cold vermicelli noodles!

When Father Du heard this, he could only nod his head, "Then try it first! But I really think that sweet potato flour is pretty good. Adding water can make the water thicker when heated."

Du Qingchen nodded, that's for sure Well! This is starch, but starch is really useful in the kitchen, and he needs it too.

...

Yuan County, Shao Qing stood in front of the granary with a dark face. This was the grain bought by the relief money allocated by the imperial court. A few days ago, a fire broke out and half of it was burned, and only the half was left. The scorched, barely edible food was not enough.

Shao Qing clenched his fists tightly. This was the first time he had received an errand. In addition to his identity, if he failed, the fifth prince would also be punished!

Shao Qing turned back and asked Gao Han, who was standing half a step behind him, "Is there any news from Tao Taishou?"

As soon as the fire broke out, he sent someone to inform Tao Taishou, asking him to find a way to transport the food. Tao Taishou also attached to the five princes. They were on the same front and shared weal and woe. If he was unlucky, then Tao Taishou would be more unlucky than him. Awesome, after all, his family background is prominent, and he can save his life no matter how bad it is, but Tao Taishou is not the case. Tao Taishou was born in poverty, and all his power now is only attached to the fifth prince.

If this disaster relief is unfavorable and provokes public resentment, the fifth prince will also eat melons and fall, let alone Tao Taishou, the monarch humiliates the death of the minister is not a joke, and the fifth prince is their prince.

Gao Han bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, Master, Tao Taishou has already pressed Han Jun's merchants and asked them to hand in the grain, which is about to be shipped. Moreover, the Tao family also sent people to other provinces to buy grain. Expensive, Tao Taishou will also buy enough food for the master, so that the master can help the disaster!"

"It's better, it's better to be faster!" Shao Qing gritted his teeth. "If you let me know who secretly set the fire, I'll tear him to 10,000 pieces!"

Gao Han was ordered to investigate this matter. Hearing the words, he immediately replied, "Yes, the servant will definitely find out this person and hand them over to him. To the master."

They actually knew that someone in the court was going to target this disaster relief, so this disaster relief, all actions, Shao Qing and Tao Taishou used confidants, who were attached to them, attached to the fifth prince, but even the In this way, they were still taken advantage of, and a savage knife was inserted in their rear to drive them to death!

Once such a traitor is caught, Shao Qing will kill him with his own hands, and then send someone to destroy his entire family.

Shao Qing suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he turned to look at Gao Han, "Do you remember Pingxing County? Several squires in their county, one of whom was named Du Qingchen, noticed that the drought was coming, and once stocked up A batch of food."

Gao Han hesitated: "According to what they said that day, it seemed that there was not much, just enough for their own use."

Shao Qing waved his hand, "At this time, who cares if they use it for themselves or for others! You go! You go in person! The task of investigating the traitors is temporarily handed over to others, and you take my token to Pingxing. County, tell them that the county magistrate wants them to squeeze out a sum of food to relieve the disaster. Anyway, the disaster in their county is not serious, and there is no need for relief, and the food is still available."

"Yes!" Gao Han did not hesitate, immediately Hand in hand, as for how Pingxing County wants to squeeze out the grain, he can't control that much.

At this moment, in the provincial capital of Han County, Tao Taishou's face was blue and black, the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, and he looked a lot thinner. He was actually more frightened than Shao Qing about the fire in Yuan County. As Shao Qing thought, if it really happened Things, the first unlucky is him, not Shao Qing. His foundation is too weak. He is neither a child of a powerful family nor is he protected by an intricate network of in-laws. He has only himself, and once something happens, he is the best person to shirk his guilt.

Even Tao Xiude didn't care about reading with peace of mind, but came out to help.

"Father, the food has been shipped. We bought it from other places at a high price." Tao Xiude lowered his head, his face was equally ugly, and added: "It has exhausted most of our family property!"

And this money, there is no People will make it up for them, all thrown out in vain, blame the traitor who set fire! If you let him know who it is...

Tao Xiude gritted his teeth with hatred. After all, with the fire, the relief would be difficult to maintain, and the victims would be hungry, and there would be trouble, and they might even threaten the provincial capital. The door, I am afraid that the city will fall into hell on earth in an instant, and what will happen to the hungry victims who break into the city, everyone can imagine. If this is the case, his father, as the prefect of Han County, I am afraid that a family will be destroyed. great sin!

"Okay, okay, just buy it." Tao Taishou no longer cares about any family property or family property, and the most important thing is to survive this disaster smoothly.

Tao Xiude also understands this truth. At this time, he doesn't care about money anymore. Let's save his life and official position first! "I don't know who my father will send to deliver this food?"

"You go in person!" Tao Taishou said. He couldn't believe anyone at the moment. Aren't all the people who were sent to help with Shao Qing to be their confidants, no? A traitor too? Tao Taishou now only trusts his own son. When he passes this test, he will have to wash the people around him with blood to see how many people have two hearts and wrong intentions.

Tao Xiude cupped his hands and said, "Yes, but a son alone is not enough. Can the people who deliver the food..."

"They are businessmen from other places, they are protected by guards, and they are scattered. I'm afraid it won't work." Tao Taishou shook his head. The people around them can't use it this time, because they can't stand the second betrayal. As for the non-local businessmen who do business with them, they are not easy to mess with. After all, those who dare to do business with them at this time, and even dare to transport grain into Han County, even if he has to respect three points, it is really impossible to command .

Tao Xiude was silent for a while, "People around me don't dare to use it for now, businessmen from other places can't use it, and there are still candidates for my son."

"Who?"

"Du Qingchen, Su Junxia in Pingxing County. Du Qingchen is extremely smart, very quick-witted, and Su Junxia is all dressed up. Martial arts, make friends very widely, although they are small people, but the rat has a rat's way, and it is very useful at critical times."

"The two you mentioned are a little familiar, have you mentioned it to me?" Tao Taishou asked.

"I mentioned it! The Chen family was destroyed in the hands of these two people. Du Qingchen used wisdom and Su Junxia used force. The two joined hands to defeat the Chen family. These two are not interested in fame and fortune, and they are far away from the court, so they have nothing to do with these things, they are credible."

Tao Taishou pondered for a while, and finally said: "If you believe in it, use it."

"Yes." Tao Xiude handed it over. With a salute, back off.
