The Culinary Tycoon

Three miles away from the north gate of Tongshan City is the port. Every day, hundreds of ships come and go to carry merchants and goods, and the flow of people is very large.

In the city, the North-South Avenue directly connected to the port is the place with the largest flow of people. Among them, North Street is the most prosperous place with the most shops and the largest flow of people.

How can there be less food in a crowded place?On the street near the North City Gate, there are many food sellers, shops, and many small vendors.Many merchants will fill their stomachs before taking a boat out of the city, or just buy food on the road.

One day, near the North City Gate, an old man was on his way with a young man about eight or nine years old.Not long after the sun rose, they already felt the enthusiasm of the sun, and both of them were sweating, as if they had traveled a long way.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry and I can't walk anymore. Let's eat something before we go." The little man stopped in front of a small stall with his hands on his stomach, his face wrinkled bitterly, and he looked really hungry , especially the smell of food wafting from the left and right of the street, which wakes up the gluttons in people's stomachs, but his voice is not low.

The old man looked around and asked the young man, "What do you want to eat? Noodles? Little Chaos?"

The little man looked at the steaming noodle shop and frowned: "It's too hot, I don't want to eat noodles."

The old man asked again: "Buns? Steamed buns?"

The little man still shook his head, "The buns are hot too. Grandpa, is there anything that's not so hot? It's already hot enough!"

"The only ones that are not hot are fruit snacks. Do you want to eat them?" The old man looked around in embarrassment.

"...I think I can fill my stomach." The little man replied with a frown.

"Then let the noodles cool down before eating."

"……All right."

The grandpa and grandson were about to go to the noodle shop on the side, when a shout caught their attention.

Two steps ahead on their right, a young man was yelling at a stall called 'Yu Ji Yi Kou Xian'.

"The new stall has opened, selling cold noodles and cold skin. It's appetizing and refreshing. The first [-] customers will get free mung bean soup..."

Hearing the word 'cold noodles' and mung bean soup, the little man's eyes lit up, and he pulled his grandfather over there, "Grandpa, cold noodles! And mung bean soup!"

Pedestrians who heard the yelling around were attracted by the 'cold noodle cold skin', some were attracted by the free mung bean soup, and they all wanted to see what it was selling.

Some people asked: "What kind of food are you eating cold noodles? How do you sell them?"

The stall owner brought out a bowl of cold noodles, smooth noodles with red chili oil, green shredded cucumbers and green onions, and brown beans?

The stall owner said with a smile: "The guest officer is optimistic. This is my cold noodles. It is absolutely refreshing and appetizing. You can try it first with a bamboo stick."

A young man with thick bangs took out a bamboo stick and an empty bowl for others to try.But no one stepped forward.

The little man dragged his grandfather into the crowd, and when he saw that he could try it, he immediately yelled, "I'll come, I'll come!"

The young man with thick bangs smiled and gave him two bamboo sticks, and put a chopstick of cold noodles in a bowl and handed it to him.

The little man ate the cold noodles with the small chopsticks with a swish of a bamboo stick. After eating, his eyes lit up, "It's delicious! Grandpa, let's eat this!"

Seeing that his grandson liked it, the old man said helplessly, "Boss, how much is a bowl of your cold noodles?"

The stall owner replied: "A bowl for five Wen for small portions, a bowl for Liu Wen for medium portions, and a bowl for seven Wen for large portions."

The old man said: "Then give us two small bowls."

"Okay, two small bowls of cold noodles! Does the guest want mild, medium or very spicy?"

"...slightly spicy."

"Guest officer, please sit over there, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Hearing that the little man said it was delicious, some people around couldn't help trying it.

The noodles are smooth in the mouth, slightly spicy and slightly sour, and the taste buds are awakened immediately, while the shredded cucumber and beans inside are crisp and refreshing, and the appetite sealed up by this hot summer is instantly opened.

"Well, it's not bad!"

"Boss, what does your Liangpi taste like? Can you try it?"

"Okay, okay, here, this bowl is Liangpi, everyone can try it."

"This Liangpi tastes good too. I don't know how it's made. Boss, bring me a bowl of Liangpi. I like this!"

"Hey, this is very appetizing. In this hot weather, my family doesn't have much appetite, and the children have lost weight! Boss, bring me two bowls of cold noodles, one small and one medium!"

"..."

The appetites of those who have tried it have been lifted. After a whole summer, their appetites are almost numb. Now when they are stimulated to open them, they suddenly feel very hungry.

The two small tables were filled up quickly. The grandpa and grandson who first tasted the food looked at each other, smiled and quickly finished eating and got up to give up their seats to other guests.

"Boss, pay the bill!" The little man gave ten cents to the boss proudly, and even winked at him.

The boss, that is, Yu Qingze couldn't help but accept the money.Chang Le, who was behind him, looked at his grandpa and grandson, holding back his laughter until his face turned red!

Grandpa and younger brother pretended to be like that!

"Boss, how do you make these beans? It's delicious!" A customer asked Yu Qingze, holding capers in a bowl.

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "This is my pickled capers, which are not available in other homes, and are made in secret!"

Having said that, the guest also knew that it was impossible to ask, so he said, "Can you sell me some of these beans? I'll take it home and give it to my family to taste."

While skillfully cooking the noodles, Yu Qingze replied, "Okay, seven cents a catty, how much do you think?"

The guest was surprised, "It's so expensive, the beans in the market are only five cents a catty."

Yu Qingze said: "That's the taste they sell."

The guest thought about it and said, "Okay, first give me... a catty."

Yu Qingze smiled at Chang Le, and said, "Brother Le, weigh a catty of capers for the guests." Then he told the guests that the capers should not be kept for a long time after taking them back, and it is best to fry them as soon as possible. .

Chang Le blinked, fished out a catty of sour beans from the jar, wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to the guests, and took seven coins.

In the morning when Yu Qingze asked him to move another jar to the cart, he thought that someone would buy capers alone, but he didn't expect Yu Qingze to sell them so expensively, so after two or three days of pickling, he sold them for two cents more than the fresh and tender beans. catty!

Good money!

Seeing that capers can be bought separately, other customers also bought half a catty of this and that of a catty.

In less than a while, the big jar of capers was sold out.The customers who didn't buy it were still regretful, and they all made an appointment with the boss to buy it tomorrow.

Chang Le laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. This was more profitable than selling fresh beans.

Seeing Chang Le's happy appearance, his eyes seem to be filled with stars, which is very beautiful.Yu Qingze felt itchy in his heart, and tightened his hand holding the bamboo strainer, and couldn't help laughing even though he opened his mouth.

Chang Hao and Grandpa Chang hadn't left yet. They wandered around the street and came back again. The previous group of people left after eating, so no one knew them, so they came back to help.

Yu Qingze didn't let them busy with the small stall, and asked Grandpa Chang to take Chang Hao to the vegetable market to buy radishes. He saw someone selling them before. If sour beans are easy to sell, sour radishes must be even better, so he asked them to buy as much as they could. .

Sour bean and sour radish will surely be seen by others in the near future, so you have to make a fortune from it before others know how to do it!When the price drops, it will not be so easy to earn.

Seeing that they were so busy, Grandpa Chang went to buy it alone and asked Chang Hao to stay and help.

Chang Hao has a sweet mouth, is also clever, and doesn't recognize his life. With his help, Yu Qingze and Chang Le really felt a lot easier.

"Guest officer, would you like another bowl of mung bean soup? It's refreshing and refreshing, and it only costs one penny for a bowl."

"Isn't it a gift?"

"Guest officer, the first fifty customers are given away. You are already No. 60 eight. It's very cheap, it only costs one penny, and it will keep you cool all day long. Would you like a bowl?"

"Then have a bowl."

"..."

With Xiaobaba, mung bean soup sells much more.

The food stalls set off a frenzy as it approached noon.

This North Street has a lot of people coming and going. Apart from businessmen, the locals also love to come here to find food.

Seeing that there are so many people gathered around a food stall, it is still a fresh food, and people who have eaten it say it is delicious, so they can't help but try it.

Those who lived nearby even went home and brought their family over to let them taste it. What's more, some people quickly went home and bought a bowl for their family to eat.

In this hot weather, once someone tastes the taste of cold noodle cold skin, people will no longer want to eat that hot noodle soup.The appetite that has been tortured for so long by the hot summer finally sees the dawn again!

This rumor spread ten to ten times, there is a new restaurant in North Street, called 'Yu Ji Yi Kou Xian', a food stall selling cold noodles and cold skin, and the rumor that it tastes good, spread from North Street in just half a day Come.

There are many shops selling food on this North Street, and there are five or six noodle restaurants alone. Among them, Wangji Noodle Restaurant and Liuji Noodle Restaurant have the best business, and they have been competitors for many years.

The owner of Liuji Noodle Restaurant is named Liu Liangping, who is tall and thin; the owner of Wangji Noodle Restaurant is called Wang Anfu, who is chubby and looks very kind.

At this time, Boss Wang was standing at the entrance of Liuji Noodle Restaurant, looking at the hot cold noodle stall diagonally opposite with his old opponent, arms crossed.

"What do you think?" Boss Wang raised his chin towards the food stall and said.

Boss Liu snorted, and said disdainfully: "If you can't get on the stage, you can't make a difference, nothing to worry about."

Boss Wang raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "When he came, he snatched away all our guests. At least [-]% of my customers are missing."

Boss Liu gave him a sideways glance and said, "What, Fatty Wang, are you scared?"

Boss Wang nodded and said, "It's a little bit, I'll go and have a look, will you go?"

Boss Liu snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the noodle shop, showing his disdain with actions.

Boss Wang saw that his old opponent would not go, so he went to the food stall leisurely.

The waiter at Liuji Noodle Shop saw that Boss Wang had gone, and saw his boss stretching his neck and looking at the window, so he asked, "Boss, do you want to go over and have a look? I heard that what kind of cold noodles are sold. Very good, many of our regular customers have eaten there."

When Boss Liu heard Xiao Er's words, he immediately stood up straight, frowned and waved his hands, and said, "Go, go, you are here for everything!" Then he looked over there again.

Xiao Er heard this, turned around, rolled her eyes and glanced at her mouth, pulled off the cloth towel on her shoulders, and was about to enter the store.

"Hey, come back." Boss Liu stopped Xiaoer again.

Xiao Er turned around, with a quick smile on his face, flatteringly said: "Boss, what's the matter? You order."

Boss Liu frowned and glanced at him, then reluctantly raised his chin and ordered the cold noodle stall over there, and said, "Go, buy a bowl and come back."

Xiaoer asked: "Do you want to buy cold noodles or cold skin?"

Boss Liu said violently: "Your brain is useless! Buy them all! Go!"

"Okay, okay, let's go now, little one." Xiao Er laughed with him, and said again: "Boss, look, that face money..."

Boss Liu took out ten cents and threw it to Xiaoer, angrily said, "Go!"

Xiao Er waited in line for a while before buying the cold noodle cold skin.

Boss Liu asked Xiao Er to bring the two bowls into a rest room behind the noodle shop.Then he sat down slowly, looked at the red, green and green in the bowl, and said disdainfully: "Hey! It's just such a show, there are only some shredded cucumbers and beans, not a piece of meat, and they still sell it for five yuan! Those people are Have you ever eaten noodles?"

Xiao Er murmured in his heart that no matter how bad the food was, the business would still be booming, but he carefully took the chopsticks and handed them to the boss, and echoed, "That's right, they are too blind!"

Boss Liu was very satisfied with Xiao Er's sense of taste, took the chopsticks, and began to eat with a face of reluctance.

At first, he still had a picky and disgusted expression, ready to 'comment' after eating a mouthful.

Unexpectedly, after taking one bite, he was unable to speak; after taking another bite, he frowned; frowning, he unknowingly finished a small bowl of cold noodles.

"Boss, how is it?" Xiaoer asked carefully from the side.

how?How else!

Boss Liu pushed away the empty bowl in front of him in an extremely bad mood, and dragged another bowl of Liangpi over.

He hadn't seen anything like Liangpi before, but before he could figure out how to make it, he accidentally ate up a bowl of Liangpi!

When he realized it, Boss Liu's face turned dark.

The psychological blow far exceeds the discomfort of being robbed of business.

But at this time, Xiaoer asked again with a very blank look: "Boss, how are you?"

"What's the matter! Are you free to do something? Don't go out to work yet!"

Xiao Er walked away in a desperate manner, scolding the boss in his heart as he walked, and deserved to be robbed of his business.

Here, Boss Liu looked unhappy and gloomy.Over there, Boss Wang also returned to his shop with a dignified face after eating a bowl of Liangpi.
