Farming Food Tycoon

After returning to the stall, Yu Qingze asked Brother Chang about their traditional food during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and learned that every household in each of them would make a kind of food called'Reunion Cake'. There are two kinds of sweet and savoury. Listen to Brother Chang. As I described, it feels a bit like the kind of snacks called "husband pie" and "wife pie" in my own country on the earth.

In short, Yu Qingze confirmed that there are no moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This is a good opportunity.

Yu Qingze turned his mind. Taking advantage of the few customers now, he went to the most famous dim sum shops in the city and found several kinds of dim sum that the Cai family had sent before. Then he went to the most famous dim sum shops in town. I bought several other dim sums and took them back to taste them.

Very good, there is no moon cake in this flavor.

After that, he went to the market to buy some materials for making moon cakes, and then bought a mold for making desserts, and prepared to go back to make moon cakes.

Finally, he went to the blacksmith's shop and ordered a very large iron plate. After Boss Liu's noodles are launched, the business of cold noodles and Liangpi will be somewhat affected. Moreover, August will pass soon, and only oden will be left at that time. You have to add more food and hire another person. , Make money quickly and get the household registration.

He asked Le brother: "Le brother, will you make a reunion cake?"

Chang Le nodded, saying that he would do this every year.

Yu Qingze said, "Brother Le, you go buy some materials for making reunion cakes, and we will make them tonight. Let me see what the reunion cakes look like. In addition, I also want to make a Mid-Autumn Festival cake."

Although Chang Le didn't quite understand Yu Qingze's real plan, he thought in his heart that he would want to eat new food, so he nodded, brought money and a basket to buy materials.

Anyway, what Brother Yu said, they just did what they did.

Seeing that Chang Le was holding a basket and was about to run, Yu Qingze hurriedly called him, approached him and patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Don't worry, walk over, it's a hot day, I feel distressed when I'm tired."

Chang Le blushed, turned his head and swiftly walked away, and then after Yu Qingze couldn't see, he ran off the trail.

The stall is going to be busy at the end of the day, but Brother Yu and Brother Chang will be too busy to come, so go and get back quickly.

At about noon, a second person came out from the Liu Ji noodle shop diagonally opposite, holding a gong and knocking it three times. When people passing by stopped and looked over, he shouted loudly.

"Dear fathers and folks, today our Liu Ji Noodle Shop has newly launched fried noodles and mixed noodles. Welcome everyone to come and taste it! Today and tomorrow, all customers who order fried noodles and mixed noodles will get a 20% discount. Don't miss it when you pass by. Ah, taste it, taste it..."

While Xiao Er shouted, Boss Liu asked him to bring out a ‘big sign’, which was actually a large wooden board with red paper pasted on it, leaned on a chair vertically, fixed it with a stone, and placed it next to the door.

The names and prices of fried noodles and noodles are written on it, and the words 20% discount are specially written so that people who pass by can see it at a glance. There is also a plate of fried noodles painted on it, which is so-so, without much image, but it is the new noodles.

This is what Yu Qingze taught them.

Xiao Er shouted three times in a row before stopping to answer some of the guests' questions, and then continued to shout.

Anyway, his main task for lunch today is to shout at the door of the store.

Brother Chang saw a lot of people in front of Liu Ji’s door, and some people went straight into the shop, and asked Yu Qingze in a puzzled way: "Boss Yu, you teach Boss Liu to make noodles. Are you afraid that they will steal our business? ?"

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "It will have some impact, but the most robbed business is the business of several other noodle restaurants. I am mentally prepared, and I can also make money over there." Even if they don't make cold noodles and cold skins in the future, boss Liu But they will always do it over there. Most importantly, you can see the crooked face of a certain popular person.

Brother Chang seemed to understand, but didn't ask any more. Since the boss is not worried anymore, he can do his own thing as a little helper.

"By the way, Brother Chang, can I ask you something?" Yu Qingze asked suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Brother Chang asked.

A visitor just happened to come, and Yu Qingze hurriedly said, "I will look for you when I close the stall today, so let's get busy."

Not long after, Chang Le came back, fearing that Yu Qingze would say that he would use it soon.

Yu Qingze saw that his face was red and his bangs were a little wet. He sighed and dampened a cloth towel to wipe his sweat. He said distressedly: "It's hot, right? I asked you to walk. Is it disobedient or running? Look at this sweaty."

Chang Le bent his eyes, smiled embarrassedly, grabbed the cloth towel and wiped it on himself.

Yu Qingze took the basket in his hand and looked at it and found that it contained only white sugar, glutinous rice flour and sesame seeds, as well as sugar winter melon.

"are these all?"

Chang Le said with a gesture: Other homes have it.

Yu Qingze: "Oh. You take a good rest first, take a drink first."

Chang Le nodded, Yu Qingze put the basket in place and poured him a bowl of water.

Chang Le took it and drank it.

The business of cold noodles and Liangpi was indeed affected by Liu Ji's side. They sold seven or eight catties of cold noodles and Liangpi less than usual this day, but Yu Qingze didn't take it seriously.

The fried noodles and mixed noodles launched by Liu Ji have been well received by the guests. People who passed by said they tasted good.

Yu Qingze smiled, none of you have eaten it before, of course it tastes delicious.

At the closing meeting, they happened to pass by Wang Ji Noodle House.

Boss Wang was standing in front of his shop, looking at Liu Ji, seeing the constant flow of customers there, and seeing that his noodle restaurant had only 50% of the occupancy rate, his expression was very solemn. Many guests ran to Liu Ji for a taste.

Yu Qingze grinned when he saw his face.

This is just the beginning, there will be more noodles waiting for you in the future.

After returning home, Yu Qingze pushed the trolley home and talked to Brother Chang at the door.

"Boss Yu, what's the matter?"

Yu Qingze said: "Brother Chang, I heard Grandpa Chang said that you usually have a good relationship with Brother Le, right?"

Brother Chang nodded, "Yes. I can understand some of his gestures, but generally I say a lot and he listens."

Yu Qingze: "Then do you usually say something more private?"

Brother Chang looked at Yu Qingze suspiciously, with a weird expression, and said, "Boss Yu, what do you want to ask? How can you guys know what the two brothers are saying?"

Yu Qingze hurriedly said: "No, you have misunderstood, I don't want to listen to you and Le brother."

Brother Chang's eyes became even more weird, "Then what do you mean?"

Yu Qingze explained: "I want you to suggest to Brother Le to cut his bangs a bit shorter."

Now Changle's bangs are very long and thick, covering the eyes. According to Chang Hao, his bangs have never been shorter. They are all of this length. When the eyes are covered, he cut a little bit, just to the position of the upper eyelid.

Yu Qingze wanted to make him confident. This hairstyle looks very covert and will make him more concerned about the scar on his forehead.

To allow him to overcome the scarring concern, firstly, let him dilute the existence of the scar in his heart, and secondly, he can change his hairstyle to make him look better and more energetic, increase his self-confidence, and reduce his low self-esteem.

Brother Chang denied: "It's impossible. I told him two years ago that he didn't want to cut his eyebrows a little bit."

Yu Qingze said: "Will you try again in two days? Just use your brother's opinion and give him suggestions?"

Brother Chang thought for a while and asked, "Boss Yu, why are you, that is, why do you want me to do this?"

Yu Qingze confessed: "I like Brother Le, I want him to be more confident and cheerful."

Brother Chang suddenly said that there was something weird between the two of them before, it turned out to be so. Brother Chang asked, "Do you know why he has such long bangs?"

Yu Qingze nodded, pointed to his forehead and said, "He has a scar here."

Brother Chang was surprised, "Do you know he has a scar on his forehead? Did he show it to you?"

Yu Qingze nodded.

"He never showed it to others, especially the man." Brother Chang blinked, thought about it, and then said: "Why don't you tell him yourself? He should listen to you too." He could see Brother Le likes Boss Yu very much, but I never thought that Boss Yu also likes Brother Le.

Yu Qingze said helplessly: "If I tell him, he might listen, but I think that if you are a brother or a good friend, you will make it easier for him to accept it."

He said that he would inevitably be suspected of caring about his ugliness and then saying that he wanted to make him bangs to make him beautiful. He didn't want Chang Le to have such an idea at all.

If it's a girlfriend, it's different.

Hearing this, Brother Chang nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." The boss was very considerate of Brother Le, so he rushed to this, and he was willing to help him.

Seeing him nodding, Yu Qingze said happily, "Thank you, Brother Chang. Besides, I know several styles of bangs, maybe you can cut them for him?"

Brother Chang looked at Yu Qingze, with that weird look on his face again, "How do you guys know the style of bangs?"

Yu Qingze said: "This is a secret. I'll show you the picture. You can discuss with Le Brother which one is more attractive. In short, a principle must be to let all his eyes be exposed, and it is best to see the right eyebrow. arrive."

Yu Qingze went back to the kitchen to find a charcoal head and a wooden board, and then went to the door to paint and explain to Brother Chang.

Finally, Yu Qingze drew four or five styles of bangs, including straight eyebrows, oblique bangs, and irregular ones. Anyway, without exception, they are just up to the eyebrows, and they can also cover the left forehead.

Brother Chang took the wooden plank and returned home with a weird expression.

This boss, he really knows, but these bangs are pretty good-looking. He can cut them with Le brother, and someone will cut them with him. Maybe Le brother agrees? Hey-hey…

There are three days off each month in the school, on the last day of each tenth day, which is the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth day of the month.

In order to be the same as Chang Hao’s holiday, Yu Qingze also set a fixed holiday for the food stall in these few days. If the field is too busy, he will not go out and concentrate on finishing the work in the field before leaving. Stall.

In addition, he plans to visit Cai Mansion once a month to cook a meal for Mrs. Cai and Cai Yunwei, and bring Chang Hao with him by the way. It would be best if Chang Hao can establish friendship with Cai Yunwei.

Chang Hao is smart and likes to read books. If he wants to take the imperial examination in the future, then Mr. Cai's relationship line can obviously help him. No matter what, if you have a good relationship now, you can't go wrong. Moreover, it has a positive impact on their business.

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness. At least, now Boss Wang doesn't dare to trouble them casually.

The next day happened to be the tenth day, and they did not go out.

After dinner that night, Chang Le and Grandpa Chang started making reunion cakes.

Yu Qingze watched the whole process, watching them making fillings, making oil crust and pastry dough, and then putting the pastry dough in the oil crust dough to bake it, roll it out and roll it up, wake up for a while, then roll it up and make it into a pie crust. , Finally wrap the filling, squeeze it, then put it on an iron sheet, burn charcoal fire underneath, and bake it.

Without an oven, ancient people could think of other ways to bake the cakes, and Yu Qingze still admires them.

According to Grandpa Chang, there is another kind of iron box, which is better for baking, but the kind is usually used in dim sum shops, and ordinary people use iron sheets directly at home.

When the pie is baked, the surface is browned and browned, and it looks quite fragrant.

Yu Qingze tasted one. The taste is naturally inferior to modern husband and wife cakes, but it is not bad.

"Tomorrow, I will make moon cakes for you to eat."

"moon cake?"

"Well, the mid-autumn festival dim sum in my hometown should taste pretty good." The premise is that he can bake moon cakes with this iron piece.

After breakfast the next day, Yu Qingze began to prepare mooncakes. What he is going to do is red bean paste moon cakes.

The red beans had already been soaked last night, and he asked Chang Le to help them cook the red beans like rice, and then he started making mooncake crusts.

Pour the syrup, lye, and rapeseed oil in a large bowl and mix well, then add the flour and stir well, then transfer to the cutting board and knead it into a ball, then cover with a damp cloth to wake up for about an hour.

While the dough was awake, the red beans over there were cooked, Yu Qingze simply pressed the red beans into a puree in the pot, and then added a proper amount of oil and syrup to make a bean paste.

After the dough wakes up, divide it into ten equal parts, and the red bean paste is also divided into ten parts, then the cake crust is flattened into the bean paste filling, and finally it is placed in a mold to form.

Chang Le looked simple, and wanted to try it. He especially liked the embossing step, so Yu Qingze asked him to do the rest.

Then came the most critical baking step.

He first tried to directly put the cake on the iron sheet and bake it, brush it with egg liquid in the middle, and continue to bake it. It can be baked until both sides are golden, but the moon cake is not very crisp around, and the shape of the cake is a bit deformed because of turning it too many times. .

Then he tried to steam the raw biscuits directly, and then bake them. It seems better.

Finally, they put the three together for a taste. Purely steamed, roasted, steamed and roasted.

"Brother Yu, the steamed taste is also very good." Chang Hao ate a mooncake that was steamed and not baked and found it to taste very good.

Yu Qingze also tasted it, and there was no roasted aroma, but the taste was acceptable. The other two roasted ones are more fragrant.

"How does it taste? Actually, after two days, the grilled oil will be more delicious, but we are running out of time now. Today is the tenth." Yu Qingze asked the three of them, "You said, can this be sold? ?"

Chang Hao nodded, the first one agreed: "It can be sold. It's delicious."

Grandpa Chang also thought it tasted good, even better than the reunion cake, so he nodded.

Chang Le recently started doing business with Yu Qingze, and he had some opinions. He made a gesture and said that they could take a few for the guests to try tomorrow, and it is best to take it back to Mi Ge. If Cai Yunwei finds it delicious, The market response should be very good.

Yu Qingze looked at Chang Le and said with a smile: "Brother Le, you've broken your studies, and you even used the second young master of the Cai family to try and test the market reaction."

Chang Le pursed his lower lip in embarrassment, but still bravely gestured: If he said it was delicious, ordinary people would definitely think it was delicious! It will definitely sell well, not necessarily only during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yu Qingze laughed and said, "Yes, Brother Le is right. Then do it, let the second young master of the Cai family give us a taste tomorrow!"
