Daoxing Xianyuan

Chapter 12
With Yu Wei and Qi Junhui's careful preparation, the restaurant opened as scheduled.Qi Junhui spent a few days brainstorming to name the restaurant "Yu Gourmet". After thinking of the name, it was a treasure, and she boasted a lot in front of her.Seeing Qi Junhui's high interest, Yu Wei of course nodded in agreement.

Before opening, Yu Wei did another important thing, which was to practice and improve his cooking skills.Whether a small restaurant can survive depends most fundamentally on its characteristics and taste.As a smart man, he knew that he should be surprised to win. After careful consideration, he decided to focus on Sichuan cuisine.Sichuan is a province with a large population, and many people come to the country to seek livelihood. Opening a Sichuan restaurant in Tianjin not only takes care of the Sichuan people, but also satisfies the Tianjin locals’ desire to change their tastes to a certain extent, killing two birds with one stone.In order to make the restaurant's Sichuan cuisine authentic, Yu Wei wanted to hire a Sichuan chef at first, but he couldn't find one, so Yu Wei made up his mind to serve it himself.

China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and the tastes of northern and southern cuisines are vastly different. Sichuan cuisine is one of the main cuisines in China. It enjoys the reputation of "eat in China, taste in Sichuan".It is not easy to make Sichuan cuisine well, so there is a saying that "a scholar of ten years, a chef of a hundred years", but the good thing is that in the past, he was a little particular about cooking, and now he has to work hard for the smooth survival of restaurants. After a period of private practice, I have mastered the techniques of frying, frying, baking, simmering, deep-frying, smoking, soaking, stewing, grits, braising, stewing, and popping. This home-cooked dish has achieved the unity of color, aroma, taste and shape, and Yu Wei couldn't help but become intoxicated with himself: Hehe, I really didn't expect that my skills are so good!Beautiful.

After the opening of Yu Gourmet, it really did as one wished, and the business was booming.Because the restaurant tastes good and the price is suitable for working-class people, it has a relatively stable customer base not long after it opened. Afterwards, people order food in advance almost every day.People are in high spirits on happy occasions, so relying on their foundation in practicing the Immortal Fate Method, Yu Wei takes care of most of the affairs.At the beginning, Qi Junhui was considerate of her husband, but she was afraid of being burdened and competed to do things. Later, seeing that he not only showed no discomfort, but was still full of energy, she gradually relaxed and got used to it.Half a year later, the business of the restaurant became more and more prosperous, so Yu Wei also rented another frontage next to the restaurant, expanding the frontage to more than 100 square meters.After the store was expanded, Yu Wei hired a master chef and several workers. He stopped cooking and was only responsible for welcoming and delivering.Yu Wei's younger sister resigned because of the poor performance of the factory and took care of the restaurant together. Yu Wei distributed a share of the shares to her younger sister.

After more than a year, he earned tens of thousands of yuan.Yu Wei pondered: Although the restaurant business is good, but I am a cultivator, I don't know how long this life can last, so I should find a way to accumulate more money.Since then, I have had an idea in my heart, wanting to find new opportunities to get rich.

On this day, Yu Wei was busy at the restaurant when Lin Yongming came.Lin Yongming's business is not going well recently, and the fish he raises can't be sold. I heard that Yu Wei's restaurant business is good, so I came here to discuss business with Yu Wei this time.When the old leader and friend came, Yu Wei naturally entertained him graciously, and asked the master chef to cook some appetizers, and chatted slowly with him.In the end, the two agreed that every week, Yu Wei would buy [-] catties of fish from Lin Yongming, and Lin Yongming would send them over at a price calculated at [-]% off the market price.Originally, Yu Wei already had a regular fish feeding partner, but it was not his style to let his friends have difficulties and ignore them.Since then, the two have been in frequent contact.

Once, Lin Yongming invited Yu Wei to his house as a guest. Yu Wei had never been to Lin's house before, and he wanted to go for a walk in the suburbs, so he happily accepted.Taking some free time, Yu Wei took his wife and daughter with him one morning and caught a bus to Lin Yongming's house.It's been a long time since I've been to the suburbs. Seeing the green hills and green trees in the suburbs, Yu Wei felt refreshed, and my daughter Yu Jingling was even more excited. She ran around with joy as soon as she got off the car, and couldn't help shouting.Lin Yongming's home is not far from the city, only more than ten miles away, and the family has eight or nine acres of land. Lin Yongming asked his wife to cook at home, and he took Yuwei to go around the fish pond and watch the scenery by the way. Qi Junhui also brought his daughter with him. go.

There is a road in front of Lin Yongming's house, and there is a small natural lake 300 meters away on the left. Lin Yongming built three fish ponds not far behind the house to draw water from the small lake to supply the fish ponds.You can walk along a small path to the fish pond. About one foot around the fish pond is bare because people walk there all the year round. Behind the fish pond are all vegetable fields.The growth of the vegetables is not good. Although it is busy, it seems that there is not much energy. Lin Yongming said that it is because of the poor quality of the soil.But no, Yu Wei observed carefully, only to find that the surrounding area was filled with yellow mud. "Yellow mud", Yu Wei muttered in his heart, thoughtfully.

"Hey, it's time to eat," Lin Yongming's wife raised her voice loudly, because their chat was interrupted.Lin Yongming's wife moved really fast, and it didn't take long to prepare eight or nine dishes.

While drinking, Lin Yongming talked about the bad business again.After hearing this, Yu Wei suddenly said, "Old Lin, do you think this will work?"

"Is it okay?" Seeing Yu Wei's thoughtless question, Lin Yongming asked subconsciously.

"You can burn bricks and sell them." Yu Wei paused and said, "I've thought about it. You have the yellow mud here, and then you can get the lake bottom mud from the lake. The lake bottom mud is very sticky, so mix it with the yellow mud and burn it together." The quality of the bricks produced is very good. Houses are being built everywhere these years, so there is no need to worry about sales.”

"What about the money?"

"It doesn't cost much. If you think it's okay, we'll work together. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow some money. As long as there is a market, you can get it back in a short time." Yu Wei continued: "The old method of burning bricks It is to build an earthen kiln first, then trample the clay and water to make the sticky evenly, and then mold it into bricks, dry it in the shade before firing it in the kiln. If we want to improve the efficiency, we can improve it. Make a fuss about the two processes and order special machinery for processing."

Yu Wei was very enthusiastic, and talked a lot with everyone, analyzed various favorable conditions for setting up a brick factory, proposed ways to overcome difficulties, and analyzed the market.These days, Yu Wei has been thinking about doing some business again. Today, it seems that he encountered an opportunity by chance. In fact, Yu Wei has been paying attention to the economy, so now he talks like a treasure, as if he had set up a brick factory a long time ago.Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Yu Wei's ability to make suggestions today is the result of paying attention to the economy.

Hearing what Yu Wei said so affirmatively, Lin Yongming and his wife were also tempted, and Qi Junhui was also very interested.Several people discussed while eating and drinking, and they all agreed that Yu Wei's proposal was feasible, and formed a rough plan.After analysis, it is planned to use the land of Lin Yongming's family to invest 15 yuan to build a simple brick factory with an annual output of 1000 million red bricks, and then consider expansion when the funds are rich.Yu Wei can only raise 4 yuan now, Lin Yongming can take out 4 yuan in cash, and find a way to use a loan to solve the remaining [-] yuan.In order to prepare to mobilize his parents to borrow [-] yuan with his own real estate mortgage, Lin Yongming tried to find a way to borrow [-] yuan.Because Lin Yongming left the venue, Lin Yongming held [-]% of the shares in the brick factory, and Yu Wei held [-]%.During the construction period, Lin Yongming was mainly responsible for handling construction procedures, contacting the construction team, supervising construction, and finding workers; Yu Wei was mainly responsible for applying for licenses, purchasing brick-making equipment, and finding technical personnel and potential customers.After the brick factory was built, Lin Yongming was in charge of production and Yu Wei was in charge of sales.

After returning home, Yu Wei talked to his parents about the idea of ​​building a brick factory. His father was very supportive, but his mother hesitated. Loans against real estate.

In the following four months, Yu Wei and Lin Yongming devoted themselves to intense preparatory work: fundraising, negotiating with the construction team, worshiping Buddha at the authority, obtaining certificates, supervising work, buying machines, finding masters, recruiting workers, contacting Buyer, what a mess.The good thing is that it has been able to condense the mind and body of the body, the body is already very human, and the energy is extraordinary, so there is no problem.Lin Yongming was miserable, according to his wife's words: he was almost exhausted.

However, the hard work was not in vain. After a period of busyness, the construction of the brick factory was successfully completed, and various approvals and licenses were completed as scheduled. The clay mixer and brick making machine were also installed and successfully tested. This clay mixer and brick making machine are Lin Yongming and Yu Wei personally designed it before ordering it.According to Lin Yongming's meaning, the brick factory was named "Hongda Red Brick Factory" for the sake of auspiciousness.

Right now, the bricks of the first kiln have been dried in the shade and entered the kiln, and now they are just about to be ignited.On the first day of planning the ignition, Yu Wei thought that it would take at least half a month to turn off the ignition after ignition, and he might be very busy, so he went to the restaurant to make some necessary arrangements.

After making arrangements for Yu Wei to go to the restaurant, Yu Wei stayed to take care of the restaurant because his sister, who was taking care of the restaurant that day, had something to do and wanted to go out for a while.It was said to be taking care of the restaurant, but it was only around [-]:[-] noon at that time. There were no customers, and the shop assistants were all playing cards in an elegant seat. Only Yu Wei sat alone in the lobby and watched the crowds on the street in a daze.After being bored for a while, Yu Wei walked to the door and began to gather his mind to observe nearby objects as he did when he was bored in the past, so as to pass the time.

After condensing the mind of the body, as long as the mind moves, you can have a special feeling for any object you pay attention to, and for individual objects, you can also feel its internal structure.When he was able to concentrate his body and mind, the range of his sensed objects was only one or two feet away. Over the years, after continuous meditation and comprehension, he can also feel some objects that are one meter away.Yu Wei has tried it before. Observing ordinary objects with his own body and mind will give him a special feeling, but not for animals. For example, when observing people, he can only feel the inner fibers of clothing, but he cannot have a special feeling for the human body.

I was bored, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at me, so I took my mind back and looked in the direction I felt, and I found a man in his thirties, who seemed to be looking at me very casually, Yu Wei had a good memory, whether he knew him or not The other party, looking at the other party's demeanor, thought that the other party wanted to eat in his own restaurant, so he smiled slightly at him.Seeing that Yu Wei found him, the man seemed to hesitate for a moment, then walked straight to Yu Wei's restaurant.Yu Wei stepped back slightly to let the other party enter the restaurant, and was about to ask, when the man pointed to a table, motioning for Yu Wei to sit down with him on the chair next to the table.

The two had just sat down when Yu Wei said, "What do you need, sir?"

"Not busy", the man waved his hand, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Wei fixedly, and Yu Wei felt a little strange, wondering what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd.

"Who are you?" After watching for five or six seconds, the man spoke.

"Yu Wei", when the other party looked at him, Yu Wei also looked at the other party carefully.The man was wearing a very ordinary light gray jacket without buttons, about 1.8 meters tall, moderately fat and thin, with a rosy complexion like himself, and deep eyes.

"Oh, Yu Wei." The man muttered for a while, and then said, "You are a bit special."

"Really?" Yu Wei smiled, this person is really weird, he always asks who he is when he meets him.

"You should know where you are." The man paused and said, "It's almost certain now."

"Affirm what?" Yu Wei was startled, although he still had a smile on his face, it was already a little stiff.He had already vaguely felt something, but for a while he couldn't figure it out any further.I just kept thinking about what the other party wants to affirm myself.

"Your physique..." The other party seemed to have not fully understood, so he nodded.

"Ah, you are..." The other party's words were truly earth-shattering. Since Yu Wei discovered the Immortal Fate Method, he has kept the secret very well. For so many years, he has never told anyone about it.Now someone suddenly talks about his special physique. In all likelihood, it means that he has a special physique suitable for cultivating immortals. He has a strong feeling that his secrets have been discovered. He is not mentally prepared at all. Why is Yu Wei not surprised? , so after asking half a sentence, I don't know how to continue the following words.

"It's really good." The man was surprised when he saw it, and then said: "Don't worry, we are destined to meet each other. It seems that although you have already started, but the time is short. My name is Chen Wangping. Many of your classmates are also good friends." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Wei quietly.

"Ah!" After Yu Wei heard this, although his eyes were still looking at the other party, his thoughts had gone far away. After so many years, someone finally discovered his secret.It took about a minute for Yu Wei to stabilize his mind, but he still exclaimed, and then asked: "Are you also a cultivator?" Yu Wei now finally understood that the other party was also a person who practiced immortality, but he still endured it. Can't help but implement one sentence.

"Yes, are you from Tianxia Sect or Hongyun Sect? I am Yu'e Sect. It seems that you have only practiced recently."

"It's from Tianxia Sect." Seeing that the other party said that he had only practiced for a short time, Yu Wei couldn't help adding a special sentence: "I have been practicing for more than ten years."

"It's been more than ten years...", Chen Wangping dragged the word "了" for a long time, "haha...", and laughed again after finishing speaking.
