Raising villains in Chronicles

Of the three gourmet detectives hired by Tian Rui, Lao Tao was the first one to come back. He came to Tian Rui in a hurry as soon as he got home and changed his clothes.

Tian Rui was making jujube rice dumplings in the courtyard. Seeing him come back, he quickly wiped his hands, invited him into the room, and said, "How does it feel to go out?"

Lao Tao said: "It's not bad." He also borrowed Tian Rui's light, and only after going out did he realize how big the country is.There are different delicacies in different places. Before eating hot and sour noodles, it was amazing, but when you go out, it is an eye-opener.

He ate and drank at public expense, but he never forgot his business.

Said to Tian Rui: "I found two people, they make cold noodles quite delicious."

Tian Rui became a little interested and said, "Where are they now?"

Lao Tao said: "The car will arrive tomorrow, I wanted to make a call. But we didn't call the phone, so I will call the shots."

Hearing his words, Tian Rui said, "I've been so busy lately, I should have installed a phone long ago." He was used to running errands in the county, and he didn't think it was a big deal to not have a phone.Now that the business has improved slightly, it is necessary to install a telephone.Tian Rui said: "Recently, I went to pull the phone line."

The old gluttons are all over 50 this year and have retired from work.His physical strength is not as good as that of young people.When he came back, he drank the sour plum soup that Tian Rui poured for him, and he didn't like it much.

Lao Tao had two dreams when he was young, one was to eat delicious food all over the world, and the other was to travel all over the world.When I was young, various restrictions could not go away.Now applying for a job as a gourmet detective at Ueda Rui's family seems to be tailor-made for him.If he hadn't wanted to talk to the cold noodle couple, he wouldn't be willing to come back now.

Tian Rui said: "Tell me about the outside world."

The two talked all afternoon.Although Tian Rui didn't go out, he listened to all kinds of things he said with relish, and said: "You write it all down, and we will print it in the internal newspaper later."

Lao Tao's eyes lit up when he heard it.Who didn't have a literary dream when they were young, and they have to polish their pens to write when they go back.

After he returned from Tian Rui's place, he returned home.His wife died early and never remarried, and his children have all grown up and married, and there is nothing he can worry about at home.

As a result, as soon as he came back, he just filled the pen with ink, and before he even finished writing, someone came over.As soon as he went to open the door, the two sons and three daughters, plus various grandchildren and grandchildren, came all at once.It was as if someone had notified them in advance.

Lao Tao asked, "Why are you here?"

"Dad, you're really willing to leave. You didn't even hear from me." The eldest daughter said angrily.

The second son said: "You are so old, don't run around here and there. Just stay at home and take care of yourself. We will all be filial to you."

Before Lao Tao could speak, he was stalked by his grandson and granddaughter.

"grandfather."

"Grandpa, Niuniu misses you so much."

Lao Tao's heart softened a little, and he quickly hugged his little granddaughter and kissed her.I haven't seen these children for a long time, and I miss them so much, I said, "I brought you gifts from other places!"

After finishing talking, I gave them points excitedly.

It's good that they came in complete order, and they didn't have to run over one by one.

Bought a suit of clothes for each of the children.Children grow up fast these days, and it is difficult to have new clothes.All from relatives.The old gluttons who have saved up to buy them are all good products.The children each bought a pair of calfskin shoes and a little skirt for the girls.Boys' small coats cost an average of one hundred per child.

The adults brought seasonings brought from other places.Pepper, pepper and aniseed and the like.These things can be serious local specialties.Just fry some oil, put a little when cooking, and the taste will be very different.

The children were very happy to get the things.Then several people surrounded Lao Tao and asked how the other places were like.Lao Tao said it again, and the faces of the children all showed yearning after hearing it.

When Lao Tao was young and raised these five children, every time he got off work, the children would surround him and ask for food.That scene remained in his memory.Later, the children grew up, started their own families, and their wives passed away. The only way to gather these children is the New Year's Eve.Now that the children are surrounded by him and listening to what he said, it really feels like reminiscing about the past.

The second son said: "I'm envious of the little days after Dad retired." He also wanted to go, but unfortunately at his age, he has to be busy with both his work unit and his own small family, like a spinning top, Really no effort.

The eldest daughter said: "Dad, will you leave after you come back?"

As soon as the words fell, the children also watched eagerly.

The old glutton said: "Let's go, just while my legs and feet are still sharp, I will not be able to go when I get older. Besides, there are trains now, so it is convenient to go anywhere, not like before." He figured it out, and the children also I can't be with them forever.It's better to go out more to see the outside world, taste the delicious food outside, and put your life in the world, it seems that you will be much younger all of a sudden.

The relationship between father and son is also far away and near smelly. When he goes out for a trip, the children still miss him a little.They used to be at home every day, and they didn't see them a few times.

They talked for a while, and seeing the sun was about to set, the old man said: "Okay, you guys go back early. I won't let you eat. I don't have anything at home for a month. I'll go to the night market at night."

The children also know the temper of the glutton, he will not eat a mouthful of bad food.But the five of them are not good at cooking.

Lao Tao said that he will stay in the county for a month this time, and he won't be leaving in a short time, so everyone can rest assured.I left today, and I can see you tomorrow.

After they left, the neighbor Lao Xu came over not long after.They have been friends for many years.

Old Xu just met his face and said: "You have a weird temper. The children come here once, and you have to be kicked out." They live next to them. gone.He just came over. Old Xu is also a foodie. He also went to Tian Rui's house for an interview, but he was rejected in the first round.

Lao Tao directly threw a pack of good tea to him and said, "Just take a look, they are quite busy."

Lao Xu looked at Lao Tao for a while, and said for a long time: "Hey, I think your complexion is better than before." It's strange that you thought you would be a bit haggard after leaving your family and business.

Lao Tao said: "It's usually because I don't exercise at home."

Old Xu said: "There are a lot of delicious food on the night market in the county again. If you're not here, it's meaningless for me to eat alone."

The old glutton's eyes lit up immediately: "Then let's go eat." Then he said: "Although there are delicious food out there, there are also bad food, some are sweet, some are spicy, and they are still our food. Best taste."

Old Xu said: "That's not true, who doesn't agree with things in our county, if it catches up with the rest day, there will be more people."

Lao Tao went out for a trip and didn't know much about it.

Old Xu said: "People from the nearby villages, the suburbs, and the neighboring county all come to our night market for a walk. They're all black and white."

"Then let's leave early..."

……

The next day, Lao Tao went to the station to pick up the couple he invited from other places to make cold noodles.

The couple are young, only 23 years old, and they are still a little nervous when they come here for the first time.It took them five days to come here, and they had to back up a train to get there, and their faces were ugly after sitting for so long.

The old glutton said: "It's hard work, our boss knows that you can't eat well in the car. We specially left breakfast for you. Let's go eat together."

The man in the two couples was named Xu Da, and he spoke Mandarin with a local accent: "Is your boss easy to get along with?" After traveling such a long distance, I regretted countless times on the way that it would be nice to earn a little money locally. It would be too frustrating to go back if it doesn't fit.

Lao Tao said: "Don't worry, I have never seen such a kind owner. You will know when you meet. You are about the same age as you, but you have skills." Now Tian Rui is a celebrity in the county. Can have such a big business at this age.

go all the way.The old glutton said directly: "Let's go, I'll bring you a cup of milk tea." This shop is newly opened.It sells several flavors of milk tea.There are also milk jelly that can be added in it, such as red beans, blood glutinous rice, taro balls and the like.Make a cup of iced milk tea and drink it in your hand, that would be a pleasure.

He drank it yesterday. At this age, he doesn't like to drink too sweet. He told people to put less sugar and it tasted just right.

He brought Xu Da and his wife, who made cold noodles, over here. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the fresh decoration here, and there was a strong sweet smell from the store.

Before Xu Da and his wife came, they had inquired everywhere, but even the most knowledgeable people had never heard of this small county.Before I came here, I thought it was a backward place, but seeing this milk tea shop has changed a bit.They also have such stores locally, but they are all big stores in the city center.It is really shocking that this small county also has them.

The gluttons lined up next to them and quickly bought three cups of milk tea.He asked for a small amount of sugar for himself, and normal ones for the two young people.Take a sip of icy and mellow, it is absolutely amazing.

Both of them felt good after drinking it.

The old glutton said: "Now everyone in the county is working, and there are not many people buying. At noon, the place is crowded." Then he said proudly: "This shop is opened by our boss." A total of milk tea shops opened, Not only buy various flavors of milk tea, but also sell fruit tea and sour plum soup.Their strawberry fruit tea is all made of strawberry jam made from strawberries.Not to mention that children like it, even adults like it.

There are only two stores in the county.There was no publicity, and it was full from the opening, and it was busy until the night market was about to close.

Xu Da was a little surprised.They passed two barbecue restaurants along the way.Lao Tao said: "This barbecue restaurant is all opened by my boss. There are ten restaurants in total."

They didn't eat it, and they knew how delicious it was just by walking by and smelling the aroma of barbecue.

Originally, they were afraid that they were liars, but now that they saw Tian Rui's strength, they were afraid that they would look down on them.He can make cold noodles.

Seeing the faces of the two, Lao Tao guessed what they were thinking, and didn't say much.

Take them all the way to the compound, and everyone in the compound is busy.

As soon as they came, Tian Rui saw them.Said: "Please come inside."

Lao Tao hurriedly introduced them: "This is our host."

Xu Da and the others had heard that Lao Tao's owner was young, but they were still shocked when they saw him. He must be too young.

They were taken all the way to the hall, where Tian Rui prepared various breakfasts for them.Xiaolongbao, porridge, eggs, fried dough sticks, soy milk, milk steamed buns and pickles.

Tian Rui said: "You guys must be hungry since you came from afar. Eat something to rest your head on. I'll take you to barbecue at noon."

The old glutton's eyes lit up. He didn't know that Tian Rui still had this arrangement. If he wanted to eat barbecue at noon, he might not be able to get a seat.

Tian Rui said: "You go too, I asked Bai Meng to reserve a seat."

"That's great. I've been away for such a long time, and I want to eat this snowflake beef." There are also barbecues outside, but they are not as delicious as theirs.The egg custard around the barbecue is also delicious, the kind that drools when you mention it.

On the contrary, Xu Da felt a little uneasy: "Don't be too polite, we are here to work." Both he and his wife are honest people, and they are not big figures, so they are a little uneasy to be treated so politely.

Tian Rui said: "It's good to have a taste, I'll treat you."

They ate breakfast here. They were in the car for the past few days, and they didn't eat well.Now that I finally had a delicious breakfast, I obviously wanted to be more polite, but I completely forgot about it, and didn't stop until I felt full in my stomach.The two of them actually ate up so much breakfast, Wei Wei felt a little embarrassed.

After eating, Tian Rui took them into the inner house. When they bought the compound, there were still a few houses left, which were cleared out early.But no one has lived here, and the employees here are all local.

When I bought this house, I was satisfied with both the room and the yard.Every house is very big.There is nothing missing in it.Even the bedding is brand new.There is also a washbasin. There are new towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste in the washbasin. Tian Rui said: "I knew you were here yesterday, so I asked someone to buy it temporarily. If there is anything missing, just tell me."

With such a big room, Xu Da and his wife fell in love with it immediately.Where they live in their hometown is not as spacious and bright as here.What's more, the things inside are all ready, so they don't need to prepare anything.

Tian Rui said: "It's just that there are a lot of people in our yard, and people may come back at four or five o'clock in the morning, which will disturb your rest a little bit. In addition, there is no separate kitchenette in this house. If you want, I can buy it for you alone A liquefaction tank and cooking utensils can be used to cook in the house, but they are generally not used. Your three meals are here, and our meals are okay. In the evening, ask Hei Xiaopang to take you to eat and see, is it okay? taste."

Xu Da was flattered.When they came this time, they planned to take a look and make plans when they went back, but when they came here, they became a little nervous, for fear that the other party would not like their skills, and he still wanted to stay.

Lao Tao told Tian Rui about the situation of Xu Da and his wife.Tian Rui had a basic understanding of their situation.

They have been making cold noodles since their grandparents, and the business is booming.Many people in their neighborhood grew up eating his grandfather's cold noodles.Later, my grandfather’s craftsmanship was passed on to my father. My father has seven children, both male and female, who have inherited the cold noodle making skills. There are too many people in the family doing this. Instead, they don’t earn money and barely make ends meet.

Lao Tao liked their cold noodles very much, so he asked about it.When he returned home, he discussed that he could only earn a living in his hometown, so he might as well venture out. He told his family that half of the family supported and half opposed it.He still decided to take a risk and come here to have a look.If not, go back.

At this moment, someone outside asked Tian Rui to go out.

Tian Rui went out to see that it was Lai An who called.Tian Rui came out in a hurry, and pressed the phone in a lounge where Tian Rui was here.Usually, the windows are open when no one is around, and when the phone rings, it can be picked up quickly.

This nodding BP machine is popular, and there are a few people who buy mobile phones, and the phone charges are high, and it costs 1 cents per minute no matter whether it is a call or a call.Every household can install it, and there is no installation fee, but not many people install it.

Tian Rui's house installed the telephone.

Xu Da said to Tian Rui, "We want to call home."

Tian Rui said: "It should be reported for safety." Then he copied a phone number and said: "If they have something to do, let them call this number.

Xu Da made a phone call. He used the dialect of his hometown and had an encryption function. No one could understand what he was talking about.Knowing that phone charges are expensive, he hung up the call after one minute and 50 seconds, and then said to Tian Rui, "We'll stay. We won't go back to our hometown."

Then he will show his hand and let everyone have a taste!

Xu Da and his wife immediately started to get busy. He has watched his parents make cold noodles since he was a child, and he has long been familiar with these skills.The most important thing to make cold noodles is noodles and sauce.

He went in to make cold noodles and came out soon.The noodles are like cut noodles, but cold and elastic.He put some peanuts in his cold noodles, one was sweet and sour, and the other was salty and spicy.

Tian Rui prefers salty and spicy tastes, and the cold noodles taste very appetizing.Just right for summer to eat this.

The taste is also very good, with a little peanut in it, it tastes more delicious.It is true that there are two strokes.They sell it for [-] cents a piece in other places.Especially students like to buy a copy after school and put it in their transparent bags.Bring a pair of convenient chopsticks and eat while walking.

They made a lot of portions, and Tian Rui distributed them directly to the staff working in the courtyard, and they all said that the cold noodles were delicious.Summer is just right for this.

Tian Rui decided to set the price at [-] cents and reduce the portion a little. Everyone who comes to the night market just wants to eat more.Just eating a cold noodle is enough to eat, but I eat less of others!

Fifty cents is enough for some small meals, and they put a little brown sugar in their sweet and sour juice.The taste is very special.

Tian Rui had a hunch that this cold noodle would sell very well.Just talk to him about a cooperation model, there is a share, and there is a fixed salary.

In terms of sharing, after deducting various costs, the money earned will be shared with them.Those with a fixed salary are more worry-free, no matter whether the sale is good or not, they still get so much money.The wages are also very high, fifty for one person and one hundred for a couple.This is twice as much as they made in their hometown.

They want to choose this.Tian Rui said: "Think it over, you must earn more."

Xu Da said: "We want to save some money." They had envied the workers who received a fixed salary for drought and flood protection.It's a pity that I can't get it.Now that he has this opportunity, he doesn't want to miss it.In addition, although he has confidence in cold noodles, he doesn't know if others can accept this taste in another place, so he dare not bet.

Besides, Tian Rui also said that he would re-sign the share every year.If you regret it, you can change it in the second year.

Xu Da thought it over and said he didn't regret it.Tian Rui got two contracts.One serving per person.They signed.

After finishing it, Xu Da was still a little dazed, but it was really done.With food and housing included here, the two of them can still earn 100 yuan a month, just like a dream.

Both of them are restless people, and they just want to get out of the stall as soon as possible.But Tian Rui said they had just arrived, so he asked them to rest well and gave them two days off.

They went to the night market in the county at night. They never expected that the night market in a small county town would be so lively.

You can use whatever you sell, and the price is not expensive.They looked very novel.There was even a sense of excitement to quickly integrate here.It cost two yuan to walk around, and there are a lot of delicious food here, and the more lively the night is.

After two days, he was going to roll up his sleeves and go to work.Get up at four o'clock in the morning to knead the dough and prepare the sauce.

When the helper came at five o'clock, I found that he was already prepared.

The cold noodles were hung in various barbecue restaurants that day.

All he makes are instant buns, with noodles and seasonings separated.One serving is one serving, just tear it apart and mix it up when eating.

Everyone in the county town knows that this is a master chef invited from other places, and they are quite appreciative if they want to taste the difference between the outside taste and theirs.

After a while, someone came back and said, "Our store still needs a hundred copies."

Xu Da smiled and said: "Okay." He has given away [-] copies from every store since morning.Just after a short break, the additional order came again.

Tian Rui said: "If you are tired, do less. Take it easy and don't tire yourself out. There will be a night market at night, and there will be more people."

Xu Da said: "I'm not tired." He seemed to have inexhaustible strength all over his body.He used to be very serious when he learned to make cold noodles. He said without humility that he was the best one among his brothers and sisters, but the business was always tepid. He finally found the feeling that so many people love to eat their home. Cold noodles, it's not in vain for him to come all the way here.

Xu Da, who made cold noodles, said to his daughter-in-law: "I guess my dad doesn't cook as much as I do." It's so exciting, I wish I could be so busy every day, as long as everyone likes it.

Xu Da's daughter-in-law was so tired that she was almost speechless, but her face was also a little happy.The boss offered them such a high salary, and they had to work hard to be worthy of the money.

The popularity of cold noodles today is enough to show that it is worthwhile for Tian Rui to invite them over.

They have personally seen the prosperity of the night market, and they are even more looking forward to the stalls at night...
