The Culinary Tycoon

There are three dishes on the dinner table, fresh red pepper fish head with chopped green onion, fresh and sweet loofah egg soup, and green pumpkin seedlings.

Color, aroma and taste are all available.

After the four of them came to the table, Yu Qingze first reported the name of the dish: "This is fish head with chopped pepper."

The three members of Chang Le's family looked at the plate of bright red fish heads curiously, but the focus of the three people's attention was not the same.

Grandpa Chang was thinking that this fish could still do this, Chang Le was curious about how to do it, and Chang Hao was completely thinking about cooking, let's cook, let's cook quickly...

"Grandpa." Chang Hao smacked his lips, looking eagerly at his grandpa.

Grandpa Chang smiled and said, "Let's eat."

Chang Hao cheered, and stretched his chopsticks towards the extra meat left under the fish head. Relying on his foodie instinct, he even dipped a bit of the soup in the bowl.

"Wow! It's delicious!" After expressing his emotions, Chang Hao took a big mouthful of rice and swallowed it, and then said, "Grandpa, brother, please try it!"

The three looked at him shaking their heads and laughing.In the past two days, Chang Hao's words have become a common phrase at the dinner table.

After Grandpa Chang and Chang Le also tasted it, they were surprised.

"Isn't it delicious? It doesn't have that earthy smell anymore. Hiss, it's so spicy, but it's a good meal!" Chang Hao was hissed by the heat, but the chopsticks didn't stop at all, and he picked it up after a while Half a bowl of rice was ordered.

Yes, it does not have the unique fishy smell of river fish!

On the contrary, there is a strange taste, a faint fragrance, mixed with the taste of fish and pepper, the taste is very unique.Moreover, the fish meat is still very tender, and with a little soup, it is full of flavor.

Chang Le was very curious, what is that smell?Is that the smell that masks the fishy smell?

Then he spotted purple leaves that had softened at the bottom of the plate.Isn't this the weeds on the side of the road?

He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, looked at it, yes, it was the kind of medicinal plant growing on the side of the road, so could this be used for food?

"Hey, what kind of leaf is this?" Chang Hao asked curiously.

Grandpa Chang recognized some herbs and said, "Isn't this perilla for wind and cold?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "It's perilla, it can remove the fishy smell. You can use this to remove the fishy smell when making fish, shrimp, and meat."

That's it!

Chang Le looked at this small leaf with burning eyes, very happy that he had learned another little trick.

Yu Qingze gave them another popular science, "In addition to perilla, wine, vinegar, ginger, onion and garlic are all good ingredients for removing fishy smell. In addition, star anise, cinnamon, orange peel, etc. can also be used, especially suitable for processing mutton, which has a strong smell. .”

Chang Le listened with gusto, so he ate a little slower.Chang Hao kept his mouth shut, and finished eating a bowl of rice in a short while, and reminded his brother, "Brother, eat quickly, I've already finished a bowl."

Chang Le was a little embarrassed, glared at his younger brother, and ate silently.

Yu Qingze blinked, as if Brother Le is interested in cooking?

The lunch was swept away, and even the chopped pepper soup in the chopped pepper fish head was all eaten.

When making dinner, Yu Qingze paid attention to it.

After picking the vegetables, he went back to the kitchen to wash them and was ready to start frying. Then he saw Chang Le who was harvesting the millet coming in, and took Chang Hao who was burning the fire in front of the stove to harvest the millet.

Yu Qingze: ...Speaking of which, it seems that when he was cooking these two days, as long as Le Geer was at home, it was Le Geer who was cooking the fire?

In the evening, eat braised fish and vegetarian melon.

Yu Qingze skillfully heated up the oil pan, cut the ingredients and stir-fried, while Yu Guang kept observing Chang Le's movements.

This attention really made him discover something.

Chang Le is stealing lessons!

Seeing his eyes carefully observing, afraid of being discovered, pretending to look away for a while, and then couldn't help turning back, Yu Qingze was sure that he was stealing.

If it was someone else, they might just look at it directly, and Yu Qingze is also used to being stared at.But Chang Le, according to Yu Qingze's observations these days, is actually quite shy and embarrassed to ask directly, so he can only learn secretly.

Yu Qingze thought it was quite interesting, and watched it silently for a while, laughing inwardly.

After admiring enough, when the wax gourd was stewed in water, he said to Chang Le: "Brother Le, the fire can be heated up a bit now, let it simmer for ten... a little more than half a quarter of an hour, and the winter melon looks as if it is soft when it is boiled." It’s almost transparent.”

I originally wanted to say 10 minutes, but suddenly found that there was no such thing as a minute in ancient times, and I was very tired.

Chang Le nodded, added two sticks of firewood, and suddenly realized belatedly, was Yu Qingze...was he teaching him how to cook?

It used to be like 'Brother Le, please make it bigger (smaller)', but just now he told how long the winter melon should be boiled to what extent and how to distinguish it.

Chang Le looked at Yu Qingze suspiciously, but happened to meet his smiling eyes.

Chang Le: ...Could it be that stealing was discovered?

When Yu Qingze explained every step of the operation later, Chang Le's face became hot, thinking that he must have been discovered.

The next moment, Yu Qingze confirmed his thoughts.

Yu Qingze asked with a smile: "Brother Le is very interested in cooking?"

...It was discovered.

Chang Le's face turned red, she quickly turned her eyes away, a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

I want to make delicious meals for my grandfather and younger brother.

then……

Then Yu Qingze gave him a surprise.

"Then are you willing to learn from me?" Yu Qingze asked.

Chang Le's eyes lit up, they opened wide, and his mouth opened slightly involuntarily, surprised.But soon, he reacted, nodded hastily, and made two gestures with both hands quickly.

"Wait, brother Le, I don't understand." Yu Qingze hurriedly called out Chang Hao's little translator to come in.

Chang Le's bright eyes dimmed for a moment, and he was a little annoyed. With his own fault, he must have Grandpa and Xiao Hao by his side when communicating with Yu Qingze in the future, otherwise it would be too inconvenient if the master couldn't understand, and it would affect the future. Learn to cook.

Chang Hao ran in and asked, "What's the matter? Let me try it?"

"No." Yu Qingze laughed and said, "Tell me what your brother just said?"

"Oh." Chang Hao turned his head and asked his brother, "Brother, what did you just say?"

Chang Le made the gesture again, and Chang Hao translated it.It meant that Chang Le was very willing to learn how to cook from Yu Qingze, and asked if it would be too much trouble for Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze shook his head and said with a smile, "No, don't worry." He had also taken a few apprentices before, and he was a skilled worker, so there was nothing troublesome.

Chang Le was happy when he heard it, and said that he must study hard.

Chang Hao asked his brother in surprise, "Brother, do you want to learn how to cook from Brother Yu?"

Chang Le nodded.

Chang Hao was very happy, "Great!" Even if Big Brother Yu moves out in the future, they can still eat the same delicious food!

Then he rushed out to tell his grandpa the good news.

Grandpa Chang's expression was complicated, he was happy, surprised, fortunate and a little bit embarrassed.

This young man is capable and of good character!

Afterwards, Yu Qingze taught Changle the cooking technique, the required heat, precautions, etc. while cooking.

Chang Le listened very carefully, for fear of missing something and not remembering it, and trouble Yu Qingze again.

After dinner, Yu Qingze went to the village chief's house to discuss the contract.

The terms of the cooperation were not complicated, and they were quickly negotiated. They also agreed to ask the scholar master to write the contract tomorrow, and then sign it.

After this matter was settled, Yu Qingze consulted about the household registration.

The village chief replied: "Now that the dynasty has been established for 15 years, the management of naturalization is stricter than before. When the dynasty was first established, in order to appease the refugees, the court directly distributed land for them to settle down. It was settled here at that time. But if you are naturalized now, there are still three ways."

Yu Qingze listened carefully.

The village head said: "First, you can buy land in the naturalized place. You don't need much, one mu of land is enough, and you can naturalize in that place; At that time, the land tax of that family will be collected one more. And the third, "

The village chief paused and said, "Thirdly, if you want to get it done quickly, you can buy it for a small sum of money. They don't care where you come from, and you can enter wherever you want. Of course, it is a civilian household registration." Heshi Ji. Remember, don’t make it public.”

Yu Qingze thought for a while and asked, "How much money do you want to buy?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, I only heard that someone spent 80 taels."

"How about buying a field? How much money? The field in Niutou Village."

The village head was surprised: "You want to join our village?"

Yu Qingze nodded.

The village chief was a little surprised, but he quickly replied: "Our village is relatively close to the county seat, and the land is considered fertile. The price set by the government is 50 taels for good land, and 30 taels for lesser-quality land."

Yu Qingze: ...

There are three methods, none of which can be done now.

make money!Make money quickly!

However, without household registration, there will be hidden dangers if you want to do business and make money. What if you are arrested as a refugee?

Have to think of another way.

Yu Qingze returned home with a sad face. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Wen Li with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old brother in the main room.

He was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to avoid it, but the sharp-eyed Wen Li saw him.
