Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 783 The Richest Man's Olive Branch

Gao Genzhu naturally had nothing to be ashamed of, men are always thicker-skinned than women in this kind of matter.

But even though they didn't sleep all night, they were indeed a little sleepy. After chatting all night, they can still hold on even if they are sleepy.

Anyway, after the sleepiness passed, I felt nothing.

At most, the body is a little tired when doing things.

But this little fatigue, just bear with it a little bit.

But now Zhang Chuanfang has woken up, and the previous flower buns are ready, so they start to paint together. Although the noodles are going to be sold in the morning, Gao Genzhu has already finished the noodles and put them there awake in the middle of the night. .

So the three of them worked together for more than an hour to draw all these flower buns.

Although it is the first time for Chen Nian to do this kind of work, Gao Genzhu and Zhang Chuanfang have done it a lot, so they are very proficient in doing it.

Chen Nian needs to work slowly, under their hands, it is like writing, and they are painted with ease.

What's more, it's really nice to make.

"After painting, put it in a ventilated place. It dries very quickly, and it will be done after dawn." Gao Genzhu said.

Chen Nian also nodded after hearing this, looking at this lifelike flower bun, flowers look like flowers, animals look like animals, if people who don't know look at it from a distance, I'm afraid it's a real flower.

After the steamed buns are made, put them all in the room and open the windows for ventilation.

In the end, they sold the noodles outside for a while, until about seven o'clock in the morning, the woman who ordered the buns a few days ago came with a few people.

I went into the room and took a look, and I was very satisfied with the appearance of these buns, and I took a closer look, and there was nothing wrong with it.

So she happily paid all the follow-up money, and it was only when she was getting the flower buns that the woman realized that the two people she brought seemed a bit insufficient.

These eight big flower buns can only be supported by one hand, after all there are flour flowers inserted on it, so they can't be touched randomly.

Even if you stack the two together, those flour flowers will definitely be crushed when you get home.

So Chen Nian and Gao Genzhu had no choice but to help send these flower membranes back together.

Since it was used for funerals, Chen Nian and the others did not stay long after delivering the flower buns, but stayed politely to burn incense and kowtow three times.

"Mr. Han has been on a good journey. Although you and I have never met before, but because of the Huamo incident, I hope you can join a good family and enjoy the glory and wealth in the next life."

After Chen Nian muttered a few words in his heart, he followed Gao Genzhu to get up and left in a hurry.

After all, the dead are the big ones, and everyone has come, so it feels inappropriate not to kowtow three times, besides, they are taking care of their own business.

After returning, Gao Genzhu lamented the impermanence of the world.

"This old man Han is pretty good. He used to come to my place often to eat noodles. I didn't expect that he fell ill at the beginning of this year and left in just a few months."

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

But the sigh is the sigh, the business still has to be done, and then they started to set up a stall to sell breakfast.

Not many people come here to eat noodles in the morning, and the noodles in the morning are different from those at noon and evening.

Noodles are sold at noon and evening, while noodles in soup are sold in the morning.

There are two kinds of soup noodles, one is clear soup noodles, and the other is chicken shredded noodles.

Clear soup noodles is to put some soy sauce and seaweed at the bottom of the bowl. After the noodles are cooked, rinse with soup, then neatly stack the noodles in the bowl, and finally add a few drops of sesame oil and sprinkle some chopped green onions.

The chicken shredded noodles are also very simple. Use the chicken soup that has been boiled in advance and add some salt to put it in a bowl. After the noodles are piled up, put a chopstick of shredded chicken on top, and sprinkle a handful of green onions in it.

The price of the clear soup noodles is two Wen, while the Chicken Shredded Noodles is four Wen.

It's not expensive to say the least, the meat buns now cost three Wen each, and the meat inside is not as much as this bowl of noodles.

After they were almost sold out in the morning, seeing that there were still some noodles and chicken soup left, Gao Genzhu frantically made a bowl for everyone.

After breakfast, Chen Nian wanted to send Xiao Fugui to a private school first, but was stopped by Zhang Chuanfang.

"Okay, you two go back and have a rest. I'll send Xiao Fugui to the private school, and you don't have to worry about these pots, dishes and chopsticks. I'll clean them up when I come back."

The two nodded, and then watched Zhang Chuanfang and Xiao Fugui leave.

But Chen Nian still cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen before going back to sleep.

He didn't feel sleepy after staying up all night, but as soon as Chen Nian lay on the pillow, he felt sleepy instantly, and he didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he just went to sleep with his clothes on.

When Chen Nian opened his eyes, the sun outside was already high.

Get up quickly.

When he came outside, Xiao Fugui had already returned from his private school and was playing in the yard.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw that Gao Genzhu had already made noodles, made fried sauce, and was ready to wait for business.

"Brother Gen Zhu, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow in the morning, and I have been sleeping until now, why didn't you call me?"

Gao Genzhu said with a smile: "You washed all the pots and bowls in the morning, and your sister-in-law and I didn't have the nerve to call you, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer. How about it? Do you feel better now?"

"It's much better, Brother Genzhu, I feel refreshed after I sleep."

"That's good. If you haven't woken up, go back to sleep for a while. We can do it at noon."

"It's all right, brother Genzhu, I've already woken up." While talking about Chen Nian, he took a rag and went outside to wipe the table. After wiping the table, he was ready to take the broom to sweep the floor.

Seeing this, Gao Genzhu quickly greeted Xiao Fugui: "Son, don't play as soon as you come back, keep your eyes open, and go and sweep the floor outside."

And Xiao Fugui originally wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but he glanced at Gao Genzhu and saw his father's stern eyes, his heart was shocked, he quickly dropped the stone in his hand, and ran to Chen Nian .

"Brother Chen Nian, my father asked me to sweep the floor."

When Chen Nian saw Xiao Fugui's appearance, he knew that he was unwilling to work, but this was his own family educating the children, so it would be inappropriate for Chen Nian to give in.

You can't let other people's parents be bad people, but you can be a good person here, right?

"Okay, come here, little Fugui, I'll have to see if you've cleaned it up later." Chen Nian said with a smile, and handed the broom to Xiaofugui at the same time.

Originally, Xiao Fugui was not too happy to sweep the floor, but after hearing what Chen Nian said, he suddenly became competitive.

After a while, Xiao Fugui put away the broom and came over to ask Chen Nian to check it.

Chen Nian went outside and took a look: "Well, I thought you couldn't clean it, but I didn't expect me to pick out any dirty places, Xiao Fugui, you are so good at reading, and you can't sweep the floor. It’s so clean, even I’m going to look at you with admiration.”

Sure enough, Xiao Fugui was delighted after hearing this, and couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Chen Nian snickered in his heart, this kid is easy to deceive.

But at noon, before the business started, the housekeeper from Mr. Liu's house came here again.

"Brother Gao, are you busy?"

When Gao Genzhu saw the other party coming, he quickly smiled: "It's okay, there are no guests, and it's not too busy. Butler Xu is going out to do some errands?"

The housekeeper of Liu's house is surnamed Xu, and he is quite polite. He always smiles when he sees everyone. Although their Liu family is considered the richest man in Lingma County, no matter whether it is the master of the Liu family or other members of the family, come out to see him. Even the neighbors in the neighborhood didn't look down on him.

But even so, everyone will be polite every time they see someone from the Liu family come out, after all, they are a wealthy family.

Steward Xu shook his head when he heard this: "It's nothing, it's just that our master wants to eat noodles today, and he wants to eat your noodles by name, so I'll come out and buy a few bowls for our master, wait a minute Excuse me, brother Gao, let you guys plan to send the noodles over."

"Okay, how many bowls do you want? Vegetarian or meat? Sliced ​​or hand-rolled?"

"Five bowls are all you need, all of which are meat, but also add some vegetarian ones, the noodles are made into sliced ​​noodles, and you don't need to put vinegar or anything. When the time comes, our master and wife can put it themselves. By the way, there is a bowl No chopped green onion, our wife doesn’t like to eat this.”

"Okay, then I'll do it now, and let Chen Nian send it over when it's done."

Xu Guanjia nodded, glanced at Chen Nian calmly, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table, said hello and turned back.

Just after the other party left, Gao Genzhu began to slice the noodles.

After the noodles were cooked, Zhang Chuanfang put some more meat in, and asked Chen Nian to bring it over.

In this way, Chen Nian came to the door of Mr. Liu's house with a large tray and five bowls of sliced ​​noodles on it.

Mr. Liu's house is not too far away, and Chen Nian travels fast, so it won't be a mess.

After talking to the servant at the door, Chen Nian directly entered the hall with his face in his face.

Different from Gao Genzhu's house, Mr. Liu's house is a big courtyard with five entrances. After entering the door, there are gardens, rockery, and groves.

"As expected of a rich family, if I can have such a big yard in Chengdu, I can be regarded as one of the richest people in the world."

Chen Nian couldn't help sighing in his heart, sure enough, rich people will enjoy it in any era.

When Chen Nian entered the door just now, one of the servants stayed outside and continued to open the door, while the other rushed in to report.

So when Chen Nian arrived at Master Liu's restaurant, everyone was already sitting here.

He politely placed the tray on the table, and placed bowls of noodles in front of everyone.

"This should be Madam, you look really young, and you seem to have a husband and wife look with Mr. Liu."

Chen Nian said while laying his face.

"This kid can talk, and he is the one who saved our son." Master Liu smiled and introduced Chen Nian while talking.

And Mrs. Liu nodded after seeing Chen, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thanks to you, our family is just such a single seedling, if something happens outside, I don't know what to do .”

"It's fine, Mrs. Liu, it's all a matter of raising your hands, but the noodles should be eaten quickly, or they will be lumpy after a long time."

After being polite for a while, Chen Nian reminded again.

"Okay, I don't know what happened today, but I suddenly got a little greedy for sliced ​​noodles, so I asked the housekeeper to buy a few bowls.

But, Chen Nian, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something I want to ask you. "

Chen Nian was a little puzzled, wondering what else Master Liu wanted to ask himself.

"Master Liu, tell me."

"Actually, I admire you quite a lot. With your ability, you are still a little inferior to Genzhu, so I want to ask you to come and do it with me. I wonder if you want to?

I know you don't like money, but after all, you are 16 years old, you are not too old, you are not too young, and after working at Gen Zhu's place, you will be able to open a noodle restaurant by yourself.

But let alone how much money you can make after working with me, at least I can assure you that you will definitely be able to achieve something. Although you are a foreigner, you have studied and are courageous, and you can be regarded as both civil and military.

If you are willing to come, I can arrange for you to run with the caravan for a few years. If you have the ability, you can take the caravan out by yourself, even if you don’t want to go out and follow me. "

The more Chen Nian listened to Mr. Liu, the more confused he became. Now he is a guy at the Genzhu Noodle Restaurant, and if he wants to develop in the future, he will also develop as a cook. Why does the good-looking Mr. Liu want him to do business with him?

So Chen Nian asked the question in his heart.

"Well, because my son is still young, although I have hired a husband to teach him to read, I still want him to inherit my family business in the future, so I want to find a helper for him. I think people have always been very Yes, I think you are very good."

Chen Nian thought about it for a while, if he is a one-way time traveler, that is, if he travels back and forth but can't go back, he can agree to Master Liu's conditions, but he came here to learn the craft.

"Master Liu, I still prefer to tinker in the kitchen. Thank you for your kindness. Chen Nian appreciates it." Chen Nian clasped his fists and said apologetically.

Although Mr. Liu has a heart of love for talents, there is nothing he can do since Chen Nian doesn't like doing business very much.

After all, everyone has their own aspirations, which cannot be forced.

"Then why don't you come to my house? There are also several master chefs in my back kitchen, all of whom were hired by me. If you want to be a cook in the future, you can also learn from them."

But Chen Nian still shook his head: "Brother Gen Zhu is kind to me, if I leave Gen Zhu Noodle Restaurant because of these, wouldn't it be ungrateful?"

"Okay, you're a pretty good kid, anyway, I've already said it, so you can just come over whenever you want in the future."

"Okay, Master Liu, then I'll go back first."

"Yeah." Master Liu nodded, "My son and Gen Zhu's son are about the same age, and they always play together. If you have time, you can bring him to play with me."

"no problem."

In the end, Chen Nian left, but Chen Nian didn't tell Gao Genzhu about it after he went back.

Because telling the other party these things is just adding trouble to the other party.
