Joe's Farming

Before the new store opened, Qiao Yu and Wen Ge'er decided on the store's signature snacks.

Hot and sour noodles and rice noodles.

The rice noodles start with the simplest sauerkraut and shredded pork rice noodles and臊子 rice noodles.

Slowly bring out the taste that the guests like.

Clay pot rice noodles are sold in limited quantities before the deadline.

The main thing is that although the stove has an iron grid suitable for placing casseroles, it can only cook four bowls of rice noodles at a time.

The point is that there are only forty casseroles in the store right now.

They will see whether the sales are good or not, and if so, they will go to the kiln factory to buy clay pots.

When the new store opened, Qiao Yu brought his whole family along.

The family left it to Bai Lan, Su Qing and others.

Gu Gang and Hong Xiu also wanted to go, and they gave Qiao Yu a red envelope.

The children were very happy that their little dad had opened a shop again. From now on, they would not have to worry about food while studying in town, and they could also go home with Uncle Wang Jie every day.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that these three are the happiest kids in this town!

Qiao Yu was also in a good mood, but his belly had grown bigger recently, and he now felt more tired when going out than before.

What should I do if this becomes a late stage?

As soon as Qiao Yu frowned, she was discovered by Hong Xiu.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hongxiu asked nervously.

Qiao Yu is the treasure of the family, and nothing can happen to her.

Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Hongxiu understood and immediately comforted her: "That's right, you'll get used to it."

Qiao Yu felt even sadder after hearing this.

Li Xin was speechless and secretly prayed that she would not do nothing for love in the future.

The second time the business opened, Qiao Yu was not as excited as the first time.

In ancient times, there were no flower shops where you could buy flower baskets or anything like that.

So I just asked Wen Ge'er to go there in advance to decorate it with red cloth and hang up the custom-made store banner.

Just wait for them to arrive and then set off firecrackers at an auspicious time.

Unexpectedly, when the firecrackers were halfway set off, Xu Yuan and the county magistrate arrived together.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning stood obediently beside the county magistrate and his wife, and only came up to congratulate them after the firecrackers were finished.

Few of the guests at the dock knew Xie Changyu, and Xie Changyu was wearing casual clothes, obviously not wanting to be recognized.

Those who knew County Magistrate Xie pretended not to see anything, and only whispered to those around them when they saw him enter the store:

"It's best not to mess with this store. The person who just walked in is the county magistrate."

This was the first time Xie Changyu brought his wife to visit.

He held a pot of kumquats in his arms.

"Congratulations on the opening, Brother Qiao."

Xie Changyu handed the kumquat to Qiao Yu, and Gu Feng immediately took it and thanked him together with Qiao Yu.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning brought money trees.

It was such a huge tree that only Xu Ning could carry it in easily.

"Brother Qiao, where do you want to put it?"

Xu Ning asked.

Qiao Yu pointed to the door and said, "Put it there. It looks nice and elegant."

Then he asked Gu Feng to put the kumquats on the counter: "To attract wealth!"

Qiao Yu took the four people to the private room on the second floor, asked his eldest brother and Hongxiu to help look after the children, and then asked Wen Ge'er to cook six bowls of three-fresh casserole.

"I wonder why Mr. Xie came here?"

Qiao Yu asked.

Xie Changyu glanced at his wife, and Mrs. Xie said a little embarrassedly:

"It's me. Today, Master Xu came to ask you for the recipe for rice noodles, so I dragged you along.

The hot pot base you asked Mr. Xu to send last time was truly unforgettable.

Especially since my family from my mother’s side happened to come to my house to pay New Year’s greetings, we had a meal together.

Then she sent a letter to me specifically asking me to buy it for her no matter what.”

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "To be honest, we have almost finished the hot pot base we made last time, and there is really no more."

Mrs. Xie was not unhappy when she heard this, but asked him: "Then can I order some? I'll make more next time you make it."

"Of course, we can, but it's hot now, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to preserve once it's made. Your family doesn't sound like they're from here, so I'm afraid it will go bad if it's delivered to them."

In ancient times, there was no vacuum technology, and oil paper bags could not be truly sealed, so even fried hot pot base would easily deteriorate.

So Qiao Yu did not agree immediately.

Since we are in the food business, we must ensure food safety.

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay. I have an ice container on my ship. I can just put the money in the container and send it over when the time comes."

Mrs. Xie was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's perfect. Brother Qiao, is this okay?"

Qiao Yu nodded: "No problem."

As they were talking, Wen Ge'er and Wang Jie brought up the cooked casserole rice noodles.

The casserole was very hot, so Qiao Yu specially customized a wooden tray and asked Brando to make a few pairs of scald-proof gloves and send them over.

Xu Yuan was pleasantly surprised and said, "Brother Qiao, this is the three-fresh casserole you told me and Aning about last time, right?"

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, have you ever cooked it yourself?"

Xu Yuan nodded: "Aning made it for me and my parents yesterday. It was delicious."

Xu Ning said embarrassedly: "I just put some minced meat, chopped green onions and soy sauce. It's not as rich as this looks."

Mrs. Xie picked up a day lily and asked, "What is this?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "The dried day lily is delicious."

Mrs. Xie took a bite, ate another mouthful of rice noodles, and drank a sip of soup, and praised:

"This soup is so delicious. Is this rice noodles? The taste is very special. I like it very much."

When Magistrate Xie saw that his wife liked day lilies, he picked some from his own bowl and put them in his wife's bowl.

Mrs. Xie glared at him.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"The three-fresh casserole is in clear soup and not spicy. If you want it spicy, you can add the seasoning on the table yourself."

Qiao Yu pushed the condiment plate on the table in front of them.

"You can add hot sauce, pickled cabbage, kimchi, chili peppers, pepper powder, vinegar and garlic."

This was the first time that everyone had seen this way of adding ingredients.

"Brother Qiao, wait until I eat a few more bites of the original flavor before adding more."

Xu Yuan said.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's meant to cater to different people's tastes, it's up to you whether to add it or not."

Xu Yuan: "I want to try every flavor."

Xie Changyu smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, this is a good idea. This way, we can satisfy customers with all kinds of tastes with just one bowl of rice noodles."

Qiao Yu smiled modestly: "It's mainly because I like to eat it this way."

The rice noodles were delicious. Everyone ate and chatted, and soon the bowl of rice noodles was finished.

Xie Changyu then said seriously: "Qiao Ge'er, actually I came here specially to thank you.

You have always cared about the people in the county. Last year, you gave me the recipe for sweet potato noodles, and this year you figured out how to make rice noodles. As the head of the county, I have to do something."

Qiao Yu thought, then tell me what you want to do.

Xie Changyu paused.

"I heard that you grow a foreign food called potatoes?"

Qiao Yu admitted generously: "Yes. Sir, you want to..."

Xie Changyu: "I heard that the potato yield is very high. Can I buy some potato seeds and give them to farmers who don't have enough land at home?"
