Ah Umbrella planned the future in his heart, and fell asleep in a daze. When I was awakened by the noise, I realized that the carriage had entered the city. Lifting the curtains and looking out, there is a lively street, and Ah Umbrella looks very curiously, the scene in the city is similar to the ancient life seen on TV. Thinking that in the future, there is no need to hide from people as before, Ah Umbrella's eyebrows are slightly dyed with joy.

Qin Jiu's face was also happy, this time he came back from purchasing ingredients, not only did he find several plants in the mountains that could be used in vegetables, but also found a ninety-nine-year-old wine fruit tree. On the way, I also met this little girl who seemed to make a lot of pastries.

The carriage finally stopped in front of an elegantly decorated restaurant, Ah Umbrella refused Qin Jiu's invitation, got out of the carriage and got into the crowd, and disappeared as soon as he walked the smoke.

Ah Umbrella was a little excited, and decided to go to the pawnshop when he was tired of shopping. Pulled the black chapter moire token given by Qin Jiu slightly outward, revealing a corner. When the people in the pawnshop saw the token, they didn't cheat her, and happily gave her cash, and Ah Umbrella vaguely felt that the pawnshop gave a few percent more, and the hosta was not worth so much.

Next, Ah Umbrella bought a simple yard, and also bought some daily necessities and ingredients, which went smoothly. She knew in her heart that she was afraid that Qin Jiu had sent someone to help her secretly, otherwise a little girl, Huaiyu was guilty, and she didn't know how many accidents would happen. Ah Umbrella wrote down this kindness in his heart.

In the past few days, Ah Umbrella has been making sweets at home, because there is no glutinous rice flour in Beizhou, and the taste of osmanthus cake cannot be made, Ah Umbrella experimented several times before finding a substitute. Before the umbrella crossed, he liked to travel, and he also thought that the food and beautiful scenery were average, and they should not be disappointed. Therefore, I traveled thousands of miles, ate thousands of rivers and mountains, and deliberately learned cooking skills, and how much I could make some snacks.

When Qin Jiu received Ah Umbrella's food box, he had just finished serving the food for the city lord, and when he opened the food box, there were three plates of delicate pastries and a piece of origami inside. Qin Jiu carefully picked up the milky white pastry and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up, and he kept saying three good words.

Recruit an apprentice and ask him to present the three plates of pastries. At last, he stopped the apprentice and asked the apprentice to bring the three small plates, and only three pieces were placed in each plate. Seeing that the corners of the eyes of the elementary school apprentices twitched, you must know that the pastries sent by Ah Umbrella are placed on each plate layer by layer, and one plate is never less than ten pieces.

Qin Jiu then tasted the other two kinds of pastries, the taste was extremely special, and the texture was even worse.

Qin Jiu's love in his life is only for food, and the dishes he makes are hard to find in Beiling City. The older he gets, the more he likes to develop new dishes, especially recently, he has become obsessed with developing pastries, and Ah Umbrella just hit the "muzzle".

Qin Jiu opened the origami attached to the food box, but he didn't expect that it was a recipe, which explained in detail the preparation methods of the three kinds of pastries.

The more Qin Jiu looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally sighed: "I thought I had enough ideas, but I didn't want to be confined to what I already had." The old man owes the little girl a love. But he didn't know that Ah Umbrella's move was to repay him for his help.

"Master, the city lord called you over."

Qin Jiu scolded with a smile, and went upstairs in response.

Entering the box, Qin Jiu saw that there was an extra twenty-eight-year-old girl in the box, holding a small plate, and there were still four different pastries left on the plate, and the three adults were smiling bitterly on the side, wanting to taste it again and being embarrassed to grab it from the girl.

Qin Jiu probably understood, and it was probably the city lord's daughter who summoned him in such a hurry.

"Grandpa Qin Jiu, you have made a new pastry, Ling'er likes to eat it very much, but there are too few, Ling'er wants to bring some back to her mother to eat." The girl held the plate in one hand and held Qin Jiu's arm in the other.

"Good, good. I'll prepare some for you later. "Qin Jiu is alone, there is no one close to him, after the city lord brought his greedy daughter to Jufu Restaurant ten years ago, Qin Jiu has regarded this child as his own granddaughter for many years.

"Uncle Qin just spoils Ling'er too much, and Ling'er is getting fatter and fatter now." Jin Yunyao made fun of his daughter, which caused the girl to be annoyed and the room was full of laughter.

"Master Qin's cooking skills have improved again, and it is really my great fortune star in Beiling City." Suddenly speaking was a man in Chinese clothes in his forties, the largest grain merchant in Beiling City, Ding Qi.

As soon as the words came out, the compartment fell silent. Jin Ling lowered her head and ate the pastry with interest, Jin Yunyao's face was a little embarrassed, and she glanced at her best friend Jin Shuqing on the side, all helpless.

Qin Jiu arched his hand and said lightly: "Boss Ding has a good reputation, and I have to thank Boss Ding for providing excellent wine and fruit every year." ”

Ding Qi laughed and said, "In that case, next year's wine and fruit meeting will be presided over by my Beiling Chamber of Commerce." ”

Except for Qin Jiu, the rest of the people's faces changed in shock. Jin Yun Yaoqiang said with a smile: "Brother Ding said that he laughed, this wine and fruit meeting has always been presided over by the city lord, how can he suddenly use someone else." ”

"Master Qin has recognized my contribution, as the largest chamber of commerce in Beiling City, the best wine and fruit every year come from us, and it should be presided over by our chamber of commerce, if it weren't for the former city lord to make friends with Master Qin, let the city lord's mansion pick up the big bargain of hosting, how could it be your turn to get the Jin family."

Jin Yunyao and Jin Shuqing's faces turned iron-blue, and the growth of the Beiling Chamber of Commerce was completely dependent on brute force. The Ding family was originally a martial arts family and the guards of the Jin family, the city lord, and they were also a lot of down-and-out in Ding Qi's generation.

Ding Qi is the illegitimate son of the head of the Ding family, unlike others, Ding Qi likes literature and does not like martial arts, and in the end he started from scratch and ran a business alone.

It wasn't until Ding Qi made the business bigger that the Ding family no longer objected to him doing business, but was persuaded by him to break away from the Jin family, and the Ding family became the umbrella of the Beiling Chamber of Commerce. The Beiling Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in grain, controlling ninety percent of the grain trading in Beiling City.

Later, even the special ingredient of Beiling City, wine fruit, was also controlled by it.

Although the Jin family is the lord of a city, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has gradually become weaker. The people of Beizhou are good at martial arts, and the Jin family is literate, but fortunately, the successive city lords are all virtuous and virtuous people, and they are deeply supported by the people of Beiling, so the position of the city lord of the Jin family is also stable after the rebellion of the Ding family.

The meeting between the three of them was to discuss the arrangements for the wine and fruit meeting in a year, and it was supposed to be a conversation in Tai Chi, but Ding Qi suddenly became difficult.

"It has nothing to do with me who is in charge of the Wine and Fruit Club, it's just a sudden change, I wonder if that one will be angry?"

Qin Jiu's words obviously helped the Jin family, which made Jin Yunyao and the others breathe a sigh of relief. Ding Qi smiled and said, "Master Qin is right, you see, I forgot, that one is a guest at the Jin family every time." The tone changed, and Yin Yin smiled: "It's also that the purpose of every time is only a wine and fruit banquet." ”

"You!"

The clay man still has three points of anger, and Jin Yunyao is also the lord of a city, so he is also angry. Seeing this, Ding Qi didn't want to be too stiff, so he said goodbye with a smile, but-

The host of this year's wine and fruit meeting must be the Ding family.
