Du Yuniang thought quietly, it seems that Qian Shengjin is really in a hurry, and it is not easy to organize the food festival in such a short period of time.

He didn't let himself down.

"What food festival?" It was the first time Liu had heard of this kind of thing, and it felt very fresh.

"It is a food festival held in Dahongtu, saying that many celebrity chefs have been invited, and the chefs are required to show their housekeeping skills and compare them with each other. Many celebrities were also invited to adjudicate, all of whom were prestigious squires. Du Ankang also listened to a rough idea, but he didn't know what it was.

Liu smiled, "Do you want to choose a kitchen god?" ”

Du Ankang couldn't say clearly, but he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Du Yuniang, so he glanced at Du Yuniang.

"Who knows! Dahongtu can be regarded as the best restaurant in the town, people want money, people want money, and it is easy to choose a chef. ”

Liu nodded, "Rich people really know how to play." ”

As he was talking, a group of guests poured into the shop in front of him, and the room was suddenly in a commotion.

"Boss, two bowls of ravioli."

"Boss, stretch out a bowl of noodles in bone broth, and then have a plate of sour radish."

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the streets are full of people buying New Year's goods, just after the snow, the weather is cold, and there are more people eating noodles.

Liu couldn't care about listening to Da Hongtu anymore, and hurriedly said to Du Ankang: "You hurry up and go out to say hello." ”

Du Ankang glanced at Du Yuniang, turned around and went out.

Du Yuniang kneaded her dough calmly.

Liu turned around and lit the fire, ready to cook the noodles. She left the food festival behind, it was the pastime of the rich, and it had nothing to do with them as ordinary people, or it was more important to make money.

Liu cooked the wontons, let Du Ankang take them out, and cut the sour radish neatly with his hands and feet, and put it on a plate.

Du Yuniang's face was also stretched.

Liu took it and boiled it, and said while cooking: "It's really cold this day, and the snow is falling heavily, I heard that some houses have collapsed." It's still good in the countryside, the yard is big, and there can be more firewood, and it doesn't burn in the cold. The implication is that I am still not satisfied with the life in the town, and even the money for firewood is used.

Liu is not very familiar with the town, although she is already accepting life in the town, but in comparison, she prefers Xinghuagou. Compared to the town, it was her home.

"Mother, don't worry, it won't cost you a lot of money to buy firewood."

Liu disagreed, "How can it not cost a few dollars!" You can't spend a few dollars a year, but if you spend it in ten or eight years, you will have more money. If it really doesn't cost much, when the second room was in the town in the past, why did we give them firewood and vegetables? ”

Now that the family is separated, the Liu family dares to say this, and the second room is quite cheaper than the big house.

Du Yuniang knew that this matter had always been a pimple in Liu's heart, and immediately said: "Mother, we will earn more money in the future, firewood, rice, oil and salt are all necessary expenses for life, and we can't care about it." ”

Liu also knew this truth, sighed softly, and stopped talking.

The number of people who came to the noodle restaurant to eat gradually increased, Du Yuniang was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and the Liu family was not idle for a moment, and the mother and daughter never said anything else.

In the evening, it gets dark, and Du's noodle restaurant has also ended its business for the day.

Liu Shi calculated the account and looked happy.

Qiu Caidie's younger brother came to pick her up, and Du Ankang took him to the house, saying as he walked: "It's snowing outside, you will freeze if you are so frozen." ”

Qiu Caidie's eldest brother is called Qiu Dacheng, he will be thirteen years old after the New Year, he is very tall, thin, and his face is a little childish. The jacket Qiu Dacheng was wearing was a little old, it looked like it should be an adult's jacket changed to a smaller one, the child was frozen outside, and his ears and hands were red.

Liu poured him a bowl of hot water and let him hold it, "You drink saliva to warm up, your sister will be here soon." ”

The Du family left Qiu Caidie for dinner before letting her go back. Qiu Caidie is not very embarrassed, Du has good food and a lot of oil and water, she always feels that she has taken advantage.

When Qiu Caidie came out, Qiu Dacheng just finished drinking hot water, and his body warmed up. As soon as he saw Qiu Caidie, he put down the bowl in his hand, quickly stood up, and shouted: "Big sister!" He was afraid that Qiu Caidie would talk about him.

Liu also understood that Qiu Caidie was afraid that their sister and brother would take advantage of the Du family, so he said: "What's in a bowl of hot water, look at what you're scared." ”

Qiu Dacheng was a little embarrassed, Qiu Caidie smiled, she was very grateful to the Du family now, and only said: "Auntie, I'll go back first, and I'll come over early tomorrow morning." ”

"Butterfly, you wait a while." Liu said as he took out a piece of pork belly from the stove, which weighed five or six pounds, tied with a straw rope, red and white, and looked very greedy.

Qiu Caidie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand, with a panicked look on her face.

She has been taught by her mother since she was a child not to accept favors from others easily, which will lower their character. Taking advantage of small advantages is despised by people, and behind the cheapness is often a trap.

Qiu Caidie is used to it, and feels that others have inexplicable kindness to her, and they will have intentions. Of course, she never thought about the Du family like this, but Liu's kindness still made her feel a little at a loss.

"Caidie, you take it! Go back and make up for your brother, and you can see how thin the child has become. ”

Qiu Caidie was speechless, she didn't know how to refuse.

Du Yuniang took the pork belly with her hand, handed it to her and said, "Don't say anything outside, it's all ready for you, can you take it back to my mother?" Thanks to your care these days, my sister-in-law and two nephews can be so comfortable, otherwise the family has to do business and take care of them, and they are really in a hurry. ”

Qiu Caidie bit her lower lip and said like a mosquito: "However, you gave the salary." ”

Du Yuniang smiled, "We are friends!" ”

Friends! We're friends!

The corner of Qiu Caidie's heart suddenly collapsed.

"Jade Lady~"

"Alright, go back quickly!" Du Yuniang moved over her body and said, "Rest early, come over early tomorrow~"

Qiu Caidie swallowed the words that came to her mouth, thanked Liu, and then left home with Qiu Dacheng.

After she left, the mother and daughter couldn't help but talk about the Qiu family again, and there was a sigh in their tone that couldn't be concealed.

Later, Du Yuniang urged Liu to rest.

Liu refused, so he had to stay and make wontons.

The Du family's wontons have thin skin and large filling, and ordering wontons can add another bowl of soup, and many people like to eat them.

Wontons sell well, so wrap them out on the first day so that you don't have enough to sell the next day.

Du Yuniang persuaded her, "You are also an elderly person, so you can't help but pay attention to rest." When the sister-in-law is out of confinement in the future, this work will be handed over to them. ”

Liu had no choice, so he went back to sleep, staying up like this every day, it really hurt his body.

Du Ankang still marinated the water, practiced stretching noodles, and wrapped wontons by the way.

"Yu Niang, that food festival in Dahongtu, did you have an idea?"

Du Yuniang didn't want to hide it from him, so she said, "It's my idea, I want to help Dahongtu start the business, and the most important thing is to make friends with Boss Qian." ”

"Why?" Du Ankang felt that they and the Qian family were simply people from two worlds, and it was good for them to do their own small business, so there was no need to make friends with those big people.

Du Yuniang glanced at him and said, "I have no choice but to make friends with the Qian family." If she could, she would rather open a noodle restaurant for the rest of her life, earn a little money, and live with food and clothing.

But Du Anxing didn't want them to have a peaceful birthday, and He Yuangeng was a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows. They don't have the capital to compete with the He family, He Yuangeng wants to pinch them to death, it's as simple as pinching an ant to death, just like in the previous life, effortlessly.

She has a hunch that even if she doesn't have the heart to love vanity in this life, she and He Yuangeng will still be the same! He is now making a move against the Du family, and Du Anxing's acquaintance with him should have been arranged by him.

In the end, what does He Yuangeng, or the He family, want from them?

Du Yuniang didn't know anything about this, she didn't know in her previous life, she was killed by He Yuangeng in a daze, and even the entire Du family was led by He Yuangeng, in this life, she should not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Therefore, the Qian family must make friends, which is the biggest reliance she can think of at the moment. Once the Qian family is involved, He Yuangeng's difficulties will increase, and it will not be easy for him to harm others like in his previous life.

"What do you mean?" Du Ankang didn't quite understand, he always felt that his head was not very bright compared to his little sister.

"Du Anxing! If he hadn't done it, would I have been able to go to the Qian family? Du Yuniang said: "A few days ago, Dr. Jiang told me that the little gangsters who came to our house to make trouble were found by Du Anxing!" ”

Before Du Yuniang finished speaking, Du Ankang roared urgently: "Where does he have such great ability!" ”

He really didn't, and Du Yuniang didn't deny this.

"It's also a coincidence, there are two gangsters around Du Anxing, the two people you saw in the casino, one of them is also surnamed Qian, and he has some relationship with Boss Qian." Du Yuniang told the matter of money to wealth and fake tigers.

"This matter, if it was really Boss Qian's doing, then we really have no way to do it! But Qian Zhicai uses his reputation to do bad things outside, and Boss Qian will not ignore it. I gave him an idea because I wanted him to trust me, and it would not be so easy for Du Anxing to come out and bully people under the banner of the Qian family in the future. "Businessmen also have a bottom line.

Du Yuniang half-truthfully told Du Ankang something, and did not mention anything about helping the Qian family deal with the Zhao family. The timing is not right now, if Du Ankang knows, there will only be disadvantages, no benefits.

Hearing her say this, Du Ankang understood seven or eight points.

"Then the idea you gave to the Qian family, did it work?"

Du Yuniang said while wrapping the wontons: "It doesn't work, won't you know if you see it in two days?" ”

After a few days, the whole town of Taoxi was talking about the food festival that Dahong Tu organized.

It's not so much a food festival as it is a chef competition.

Dahongtu has attracted many famous chefs from Jiangbei to participate in this food festival, so that everyone can learn from each other and divide their cooking skills into three, six, nine and so on. The people who come to judge are all squires from nearby counties and towns, some are from famous families, some are well-known gluttonous customers, and some have been running restaurants for generations and have very deep insights into food.

The prestige of these people, as well as the gimmick of the food festival, have attracted a lot of popularity and attention for Dahongtu. Of course, Dahongtu also has to pay, and these people's travel expenses, accommodation expenses, carriage and horse expenses, etc., are all made by Dahongtu. Not only that, but I heard that the person who won the first prize would also get a kitchen knife made of pure gold, which is considered a lottery head, and because of this, those cooks will rush to Taoxi Town to participate in this food festival.

Dahongtu can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, and they are doing this in order to fight for a reputation for Dahongtu.

Fame is sometimes more important than anything else, once a shop has fame, it will be talked about by people, and after there is something to talk about, the business will naturally become popular.

Du Yuniang understands this, and Qian Shengjin understands it even more.

Sure enough, this incident was very sensational, and everyone in the streets was talking about it.

Even Liu, who has never paid much attention to these things, talked about it again and again. The main thing is the golden kitchen knife, which Liu will never forget.

"Ten years of gold, how much does that cost!" Every time she exclaimed, and at the end she had to sigh twice to show her amazement!

Da Hongtu's move can be regarded as very brilliant, and I heard that the one who won the golden kitchen knife in the end also became the chef of Da Hongtu.

Some people say that he is a descendant of the Hunan school, he is not very old, and his cooking skills are superb.

Some people also said that the chef was in his forties, and he went through a catastrophe in his early years and returned to the mountains and forests, but he was also moved by the sincerity of Boss Qian, so he came out of the mountain.

In any case, everyone is very curious about this chef of Dahongtu!

After the end of the food festival, Dahongtu's business was unsurprisingly booming. But anyone with a little status, as long as they have a treat, they will go to Dahongtu! What do rich people want? Identity, face! The current Dahongtu Restaurant can definitely meet these two needs, as for whether the food is delicious or not, who cares!

Qian Shengjin succeeded, and in just a few days, the business of Dahongtu Restaurant has turned over several times, and I don't know how long the lively scene has not appeared. Xiangmanlou's business was affected, and Qian Shengjin found out that Zhao Fatzi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He laughed, and while he was proud, he couldn't help but think of Du Yuniang!

Dahongtu's business is only the first step in her planning. She said that this was a welcome gift for him!

Qian Shengjin was very curious about Du Yuniang, and even investigated her, but there was no legend in this girl.

Her young age makes it easy for people to ignore her scheming and ability. In fact, she does what she says!

At this time, Qian Shengjin didn't mind her identity very much. As long as it can bring him benefits, identity or something, it's all bullshit.

Qian Shengjin asked people to prepare a gift, and when he was a little later, he went to Du's noodle restaurant.
