The next morning, the first thing Du Qingchen did was to heat up the oil, rolled it into the chili powder, and there was a sizzling sound. The chili powder was fragrant and melted into the oil, and the oil became bright red. Du Qingchen sprinkled it in the kitchen again. The standing fried sesame seeds and chili oil are just fine.

With chili and chili oil, Du Qingchen's long-cherished mandarin duck hot pot will have hope, and he is very excited.

Du Youcai came early in the morning. Seeing Du Qingchen in the kitchen, he hurried over to say hello. Du Fugui went to the restaurant in the county. Now, he has also been transferred to the restaurant in this town Now that he's the chef, the small restaurant is handed over to other newcomers. Du Qingchen's rules are clear, as long as he works hard, doesn't steal or play tricks, and is not stupid and willing to work hard, he will always have his own future.

However, Du Youcai was so enthusiastic not only because of this, but because of the braised pork dish that Feng County Magistrate was full of praise for. This dish has already been known to Du Fugui in the county. Appreciation, but also spread the fame.He still doesn't know how to cook such a good dish!He wanted Du Qingchen to teach him, so naturally he had to be more enthusiastic. He didn't know what Du Qingchen thought. If he wanted to teach him this dish, he had to behave himself first.

Du Qingchen saw Du Youcai's purpose, so he wiped his hands and said, "I came early today."

"Hey, clean up the back kitchen in advance, so as not to be separated for a while." Du Youcai hurriedly took a rag to wipe the desk.

Du Fugui is honest and reliable, and Du Youcai is a bit clever, but he is also trustworthy. The two of them have their own strengths, and they both have Du Qingchen's trust. Du Qingchen also said: "It's so early today. Braised pork has become more and more famous these days, and I can’t always make it, you can also try it.”

"Really! Thank you, boss!" Du Youcai grinned.

Du Youcai hurriedly cleaned up the desk to make room for Du Qingchen, but saw a small pot of chili oil on the table, which he had never seen before, so he looked back at Du Qingchen blankly. Du Qingchen knew that he was puzzled, and replied: "New dish, I haven't researched it yet!"

Du Youcai's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything, but carefully took the chili oil away and put it somewhere out of the way.

A few days later, Du's restaurant added something called hot pot. A round pot was divided into two halves, one half was spicy, the other half was boiled bone broth, and served with seasonal vegetables and sliced ​​meat. Although the way to eat it is a little rough, but such a pot in a cold weather is extremely delicious, and even the body is warm after eating. For a while, the limelight of the braised pork was suppressed, and people sat in the restaurant. No more.

Du Qingchen started making soup dumplings and sold them through takeaway.Cut the fried dried chili into sections, then freeze some chili oil with thick broth into blocks, mix it with seasoning, and wrap it in a paper bag, it becomes a hot pot base that is very convenient to carry in winter , There were so many buyers at once, Du Qingchen had to hire someone in the village to make it, and the whole Dujia Village seemed to be in full swing.

The weather was getting colder and colder. As soon as Du Qingchen came in, he leaned next to the stove in the house, breathed out to warm his hands, and then he recovered after a while. Su Dong sat on the kang and looked at Du Qingchen and smiled. Du Qingchen turned around and saw At this scene, he also laughed, "What are you laughing at?"

"No! It's just that I can't bear to see how busy you are every day." Su Dong got up, took the copper pot that had been burning on the stove, and poured hot water for Du Qingchen.

Du Qingchen simply warmed his hands with a teacup and asked Su Dong, "How is the hot pot base made by the villagers? Can you still keep up?"

Because he had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't bother Du Rulin, who was concentrating on studying, in the end, Su Dong volunteered, and he also handed over the task of supervising the production of hot pot base ingredients to him, and asked him to supervise the villagers' frying of chili peppers and making chili oil. The matter of the hot pot base.

For this reason, Du Qingchen also rented a flat wasteland in the village, simply set up a shed, and fried peppers underneath.The chili peppers are choking, even if the place is so full of people, it is inevitable to cough. However, in winter, the cold wind is always blowing, so it doesn't affect much. Moreover, because there are many sheds on the open space, some people fry Someone grinds chili peppers, someone heats oil, and someone makes broth. There are stoves next to each other, all of which are on fire, but they are not cold.

Du Qingchen, on the other hand, was busy negotiating business. Because of the takeaway, everyone knew that this hot pot was just made by adding water to the base material, so the merchant restaurants wanted to buy the base material one after another, and Du Qingchen would not refuse anyone who came. Naturally got busy.

Of course, it's not that no one is thinking about getting the recipe away, but... Not to mention that the base material is all made in Du's village. In order to keep it secret, Du Qingchen uses people from the same family in the same village, and even invites the young and strong in the village to work in the outer circle Standing on guard does not allow outsiders to approach at all. Of course, even the same clan in the same village is not without loopholes to find. Money is touching, and prescriptions can always be bought.But the pepper in the bottom material is also rare. They know that it is available in the south, but they buy it back and forth, let alone a month, and in another month, the sky will be warmer. This year Is this money still earned? !

Time is money. Watching other merchants carry away the bottom materials one by one and sell them further afield, it is a crooked idea, so I have to hurry up and talk about the business first, and then slowly find a way to transport the peppers. Fang Zi, strive to make the hot pot bottom material by yourself next year!This year... Du Qingchen made this money cheaply!

Du Qingchen also understood that it was impossible for Fang Zi to hide it forever, and it took only a month to transport the peppers to the local area. He could only make a quick buck, so naturally he wanted to earn it hard.

Such huge profits did not stop until the hot pepper entered the local market, but the bottom material cooked by others was always less interesting than that of Du Qingchen's family, so although Du Qingchen did not make as much money as he did at the beginning, he did not make less money Too much, still very profitable.

The new year is coming soon, and Du Qingchen's family has earned a lot of money this year. Du's father happily dressed in brocade clothes, wrapping himself up like an old man. During the new year last year, they were still poor and worried about debt collectors, but In one year, it is unexpected that such a huge change has taken place in the family.Now that they are rich, they have built a new house, Du Qingchen has married a wife, and even Du Rulin has achieved fame. Is there anyone in the world who has a smoother year than them!

Father Du cheerfully put on the new clothes Du Qingchen had prepared for him, and went out for a stroll. His seniority was not low, and wherever he went, people had to pay him New Year's greetings and say a few nice words. Father Du was even more happy.

Su Dong prepared food at home, it was nothing else, it was still a hot pot, this food made their family a lot of money, they naturally had a lot of affection for it, even for the New Year's Eve dinner they were willing to eat this.

At night, there was constant sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside. Inside the Du's house, the stove was burning, and the room was brightly lit.Du Qingchen raised his glass and said to the crowd sitting together: "I would like to toast to everyone. Many things have happened in our family this year, but fortunately, our family worked together and came here smoothly, Dad! I also respect you, you have worked hard." Du Qingchen drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Father Du also raised his glass happily, and said: "I don't work hard, what is there for me to work hard, you and Ru Lin are the ones who work hard to make money to support the family, and the other work hard to study science exams, I'm useless, a little I can't help you either." Father Du said, sighing secretly.

"How could it be?! Dad, if you didn't help, who watched and built the house? Who set up the shop? At that time, I was sick all the time, and who was turning around alone? Every day, I go to the street to set up a stall to do business, and I also go to buy vegetables, and then come back with big bags and small bags? Dad, if it weren't for your support, our family would not be what it is today!"

"Yes, father, I also want to respect you." Du Rulin stood up and said seriously: "I have been studying all these years, so it's okay if I can't help the family, and I have dragged my father and brother down for so many years. The sales are several times higher than that of my father and my brother. I have always felt guilty, but my father and my brother have never said anything, and they still want to let me study. I... I understand and I am very grateful, father, brother, I A toast to you!"

Du Rulin closed his eyes and took a sip of the wine. He had basically never drank alcohol, but today, he was going to drink it bravely.

Du Qingchen didn't stop him either. After all, Du Rulin has gained fame now, and there will be more gatherings of literati in the future. He can't even drink alcohol. He doesn't want Du Rulin to become a nerd who only knows how to read.

"Okay, okay." Father Du moved his hand and wiped his eyes, and soon smiled, "They are all good boys, I didn't raise two sons for nothing!" The depression seemed to be swept away.

The wine looked delicious, Su Dong watched the three of them pouring their necks up one after another, couldn't help holding the wine glass with both hands, brought it up to the tip of his nose and smelled it, a sweet and fruity aroma mixed with it The aroma of the wine is Du Qingchen's new fruit wine!Su Dong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but brought it to his mouth and took a sip, it was sweet and delicious!

Du Qingchen noticed Su Dong's small movements, sat down, smiled and leaned over and said: "Drink less, drinking too much will hurt your body."

"I just sipped a little bit." Su Dong raised his hand and made a small slit, signaling to Du Qingchen.

Du Qingchen smiled, and had a drink with Su Dong, "Happy New Year, daughter-in-law."

Su Dong smiled, "So is my husband, happy new year."

Su Dong seldom called him Mr. Qingchen, but most of them called him Qingchen. Du Qingchen felt that half of his bones were brittle, so he couldn't help but smirked, turned his head and said in a low voice, "Call again to listen."

Du Rulin raised his glass in embarrassment to cover his face, did his brother forget that there is a younger brother on the opposite side!

Du Qingchen had already had several glasses of wine just now, although he hadn't even got on top yet, he was actually a little drunk, so Meng Lang was naturally a little drunk, and Du's father, who had also been respected several times, was also drunk. Seeing that Du Qingchen was so close to Su Dong, he couldn't bear it Can't stop saying: "I said, Qingchen! You and Su Dong have been married for a long time, and you should hurry up or hurry up about having a child!"

Su Dong froze and silently lowered his head.

Du Qingchen was instantly dissatisfied, "Father! Don't worry about such things, we are still young! Besides, the past few years have been a good time, and Su Dong and I are too busy to leave. , how to take care of it?! Let’s talk about it after a few years of earning money and enjoying happiness!”

Of course, it's best not to give birth. Du Qingchen still thinks that Su Dong is a man at all!What brother, he has never seen his brother give birth, it is really incomprehensible, even if Su Xiaobao and Luo Qing are standing in front of him holding the child, he subconsciously thinks that this is the child's father, but the father here It's just called Ah Mo.

And at the bottom of his heart, he was actually faintly afraid of rejection, fear of the unknown, rejection of strangeness, and mortality. These days, giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell. Higher, he is crazy to bet on Su Dong's life for an heir!

As a modern person, he actually doesn't care much about the succession of the family. If Du's father really wants children so much, when Du Rulin gets married in the future, he will have more grandchildren for Du's father!Why bother to find him!Fortunately, it was difficult for my brother to conceive, and Su Dong's stomach didn't move at all, which was fine, fine, fine.

But Su Dong didn't think so. Instead, he lowered his head and wanted to apologize guiltily, but Du Qingchen grabbed him. Of course he saw Su Dong's thoughts, and said, "This kind of thing has always been God's fault." Willing to give you a question, what does it have to do with you? Don’t say that we have only been married for less than a year, it is two or three years, so what! Even women, there are not many who have not had children for several years after marriage Must be?!"

Father Du said helplessly: "I don't mean anything, just to remind you, tell you that you should take care of yourselves, and prepare if you need to. Look, if I say one word to you, you will have a hundred sentences waiting for me. Good, good, I don't Ask, don't ask."

"You know I don't want to hear this, so don't ask!" Du Qingchen muttered.

Su Dong lowered his head and sat down. Although he was very moved, Du Qingchen was willing to protect him like this, but he also felt that he should be pregnant!Father Du was in a hurry, so was he!

Du Rulin looked left and right, and if it's not good, he interjected on the issue of the eldest brother having a baby. After the topic passed, Du Rulin laughed and laughed, and told a few jokes, and the atmosphere finally calmed down.

After dinner, Su Dong went to the kitchen to clean up, while Du's father smiled and went to the door to watch the fireworks, and chatted with someone by the way, Du Rulin saw that there were only Du Qingchen and him left in the room, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother, Don't you want to have a baby?"

He had just listened to it for a long time, and he always felt that his brother himself didn't really want an heir, and what he said to Father Du seemed to be excuses.

Du Qingchen raised his hand and knocked on Du Rulin's forehead, "Why bother so much when you have nothing to do, you just think about it all day long, how can there be so many of this and that!"

He really didn't want to, but because of this, he didn't use contraception. He knew how difficult it is for a childless brother to be in a family and a group, so he would not selfishly impose his thoughts on Su Dong, because Su Dong I am looking forward to a child very much.

So, resign yourself to fate!He doesn't force it. If God really wants to give him a child, he just asks God to bless Su Dong safe and sound. He won't let anyone know about other strange feelings and feelings of rejection, and he will gradually overcome them. Will be a good father, a good husband.

Du Rulin rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay! But brother, you'd better think about it! I think my sister-in-law likes children very much."

Du Qingchen couldn't help but said: "But childbirth is extremely dangerous for my brother! Having a child will kill you! Do you have the heart to watch your sister-in-law risk her life for a child?"

Su Dong just finished washing the dishes and wanted to enter the house, but when he heard Du Qingchen's words, he was at a loss for a moment, but soon, his heart was filled with warmth, and he froze for a moment, without opening the door to enter.

Du Qingchen sighed, and continued: "Ru Lin, giving birth to a woman is like going to hell, let alone my brother?! He is pregnant and I naturally don't mention this. I can only take care of him as best I can and hire the best doctor and wife for him. But since there is no one, I will not put pressure on him to make him feel that it is not okay to not get pregnant. I just want him to be safe and suffer less. Heirs and so on will naturally come when they should be, but if they really don’t, Don't you still have yours? Why? I'm dead, you don't plan to adopt one for me?" Du Qingchen teased.

Du Rulin couldn't refute Du Qingchen's words for a while, but he still felt that this idea was shocking.

Du Qingchen chuckled, and the two of them stopped talking about this topic. Outside the door, Su Dong couldn't recover for a long time, even if he was extinct, Du Qingchen would rather just adopt and never marry again...

That's right, he said that there will be a couple for a lifetime, and that he is the only one. When Mr. Tao wanted to give him his distant cousin as a concubine, Du Qingchen was not willing either.

On New Year's Eve, every family slept late. When Du Qingchen and Su Dong were resting, it was almost midnight. Su Dong was full of joy, and he was much happier than when he was eating. Du Qingchen asked curiously, "What is so happy? "

This doesn't seem to be because of the New Year, because before the meal, Su Dong's joy was not as it is now, it seemed to emanate from the bottom of his heart, as if he had encountered something happy.

Su Dong laughed and rolled around on the kang, lying on Du Qingchen's chest, with spring in his eyes and a smile on his brow, he muttered: "No!"

Du Qingchen was stunned by Su Dong. Su Dong always followed the rules. Except for the first time, he almost never deliberately approached him on the bed to seduce him. Kiss him, but even if the love is so strong, Su Dong will not take the initiative, but lies innocently with his blank eyes open, making people feel affectionate and wanting to be bullied.

He had never seen such an active Su Dong before!

Su Dong seemed to be playing with Du Qingchen's hair casually, curling their hair together and even wanting to tie it up, but he didn't tie it seriously, so it was more like playing.

Fascinating.

The always innocent and lovely daughter-in-law suddenly changed her style of painting. Du Qingchen was puzzled and emotional, and stretched out his arms, "Is there really no one? You are a bit strange today!"

"No! The strange thing is you!" Su Dong poked Du Qingchen's chest.

Because he was afraid that he would be in danger, he didn't even plan to have children. He had never seen such a man, and he had never even heard of him!Su Dong was very happy in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.After all, in Su Dong's education, as a husband, it is very wrong to be happy for the idea of ​​a husband. A husband should have children, and he must be very active. Faced with such thoughts of a husband, Seriously speaking, he should be angry, and he should also say that his offspring are more important than his own safety. This is in line with ethics and rules.

But Su Dong didn't want to!He could only hide his small thoughts and be secretly happy, and he couldn't even tell others.

Du Qingchen pretended to sigh, "Okay! Brother Dong has his own thoughts, and he doesn't want to tell me."

"Why do I have to tell you, you didn't tell me everything in your mind!" Su Dong said with a little pride, smiling.

"What was on my mind that I didn't tell you? I almost gave you my heart, why don't you touch it yourself to see if my heart is gone? Did I give it to you earlier?!" Du Qingchen held it with a smile Su Dong pressed his hand on his chest, making him feel the beating inside.

"It's a lie, it's still there!" Gengzhi Su Dong withdrew his hand, smiled and gave Du Qingchen a white look, the person who didn't care would have died long ago, so he knew how to coax him, and even coaxed him with such inferior lies.

"Who said it's still there? It's just a shell. When you touch it, you feel that it's jumping. It's still there. In fact, the soul is gone a long time ago. It's with you!" Du Qingchen leaned over and kissed it. relative.

Su Dong wanted to argue again, but Du Qingchen had already suppressed the people around him, clasping the hands of the people around him with one hand and lifting them up, pressing them down on the bed.
