The beginning of the Republic of China. Emperor Xuantong abdicated, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace scattered. Only some of the useful ones were left to continue to serve the few "masters" who still remained in the palace.

On this day, a donkey cart carrying an old eunuch came to Beibin City to join his family.

The eunuch has no children, only a few nephews, and when the old eunuch thinks about his own scenery, he does not send money and goods to a few nephews, and it is no problem for a few nephews to provide for their own retirement.

Sure enough, when they arrived in Beibin, several nephews treated the old eunuch like a father, and the old eunuch finally lived a few days when he was old.

But after a long time, the old eunuch felt that it was not like that, and the person who came out of the palace must feel very sensitive and accurate, otherwise he would not be able to live from a eunuch to an old eunuch.

Eavesdropping on the conversations of several nephews, he realized that feelings are a few little rabbit cubs, and he figured out that he had neither brought out gold bars nor good things out of the palace, and planned to ignore him!

He didn't have the good things and gold bars in the palace, and he didn't want to bring them out. But the wolf-like Beiyang soldiers guarding the palace gate were not even allowed to take out a stitch except for a little travel expenses.

This is not just talking, Mama Liu, who is familiar with herself, wants to take out the embroidery frame she is used to so that she can make a living in the future, but this has been confiscated and used for military expenses.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I stood in the palace until my legs and feet were swollen, and I raised a group of wolf cubs with the money I earned every day. Fortunately, there is a third child, this child is a good one, he knows gratitude, and takes the old eunuch into his own home to raise him.

It is said that the third child opened a small restaurant, and the money for opening the restaurant of course came from the funding of the eunuch uncle, but unfortunately the place of this restaurant is average, the size of the furnishings is average, the taste of the food is average, and the business is naturally average. can earn food and drink for a few people in the family.

The old eunuch stayed in the third child's house for two years, and the third family and their three children really didn't say anything to the old eunuch. But in the winter of this year, the old eunuch caught a cold, and although the third child found a doctor and prescribed medicine, the old eunuch still went down to continue to serve his master.

However, when the old eunuch was dying, he gave this filial third nephew a "surprise", in his padded jacket, he actually sewed a hand-copied "Royal Braised Vegetable Book" on the satin, what is this? This is the secret recipe and method of braised pork, roast chicken, and smoked pickles eaten by the royal family!

It turned out that the old eunuch didn't prepare things for his nephew, and what could be better than a craft, a royal secret recipe? This can be an heirloom!

As we all know, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs from the Northeast to get the world, originally a fishing and hunting people, like to eat meat, so they also love to eat braised vegetables, this secret recipe is the taste of the Northeast people.

The third child's small restaurant quickly improved because of the new braised vegetable business, and even Zhang Dashuai's family came to the villa in Beibin to escape the summer, and they sent soldiers to purchase it every day, and they couldn't leave for a day.

This small restaurant is Ding Ji Laohao, and this third nephew is Ding Jiafu, the founder of Ding Ji Laohao.

The above is not a wild history, but recorded in the "Beibin County Chronicles" during the Republic of China! Originally, a small restaurant that made cooked food was definitely not enough to go to the county chronicle, who told him to get involved with the Zhang family?

At that time, there were two kinds of people working in the restaurant, one was a man, you have to pay people, and you have to give people red envelopes if you do a good job, otherwise people may go to other shopkeepers and not serve you.

There is also an apprentice, who does not need to be paid, just give some pocket money every month, and people have to give gifts to the owner for three festivals and two birthdays.

But you have to teach others how to do it, whether they are doing business by themselves or going to other people's homes to take charge of the spoon after they become apprentices here, you also have to support and support them, so that the neighbors can stretch out their thumbs and shout!

At that time, Ding Laosan accepted three apprentices, and the third was Qi Wumu, who was later the old man of the Qi family. Seeing that the three-year apprenticeship period had passed, the boss went to Wufu Building in Jincheng. The second child went to the big official's house in the provincial capital to work as a home cook.

is the remaining third child who was stunned and said that he was not good at learning art, and he had to learn again, and then stayed in Ding's old shop for two years before returning home. Although there were also big restaurants looking for him, he didn't agree.

Instead, he opened a braised meat stall in Dongguan Market, which is far away from the Ding family's old shop. Moreover, it is mainly eaten by the poor who are mainly pigs with head meat, large and small intestines, etc.

Although in the end, it is impossible for the old Ding family to tell these apprentices the real marinade formula, but the simplified version still has to be taught, or what else will people learn?

Qi Wumu's approach has been praised by everyone, and the local concession is different from the old boss in terms of business categories, this is a sensible child who knows gratitude!

And the Ding family's approach is even more shocking! When Qi's five-acre stall opened, Ding Laosan personally rushed to congratulate and gave gifts.

This gift is amazing, it is a bowl of old soup of the Ding family!

Since then, the two families have often come and gone, one in the east and one in the west, one serving dignitaries and nobles, and the other serving ordinary people. It has become a great talk in Kitahama County.

In the spring breeze era, everything recovered.

The two old stores also reopened. It's just that after all, the old ladies of the two families have become ancient. Now the old Ding family says that it is Ding Hecai, the youngest son of the Ding family, who is rich, and the old man of the old Qi family, Qi Wumu's son Qi Tongle, although he is also alive, he is relieved to hand over the business to his eldest grandson Qi Qi.

And the relationship between the two families has only maintained a superficial relationship after such a long time. The old man of the Ding family regarded the Qi family as an opponent. UU reads books

But the two guys have different playing styles. The Ding family continued to follow the path of restaurants and takeout. And the Qi family simply mortgaged the old house that had just been returned and took out a loan to open a food factory!

At that time, the old man of the Ding family still laughed at Qi Qi for having no hair on his mouth and not doing things well. If you don't go to the stall where your home is ruined, you still go out to borrow money? What a loser!

But when Lao Ding's family was still selling vegetables on plates and weighing braised meat for guests.

Qijia food has long been on the train! Entered the grocery store! Even all the tourist shops can see the figure of the Qi family's food gift box. The advertising slogan "From the court, serving the people" written on it is very dazzling in the eyes of Lao Dingtou!

That's not all, a few years ago, Qijia Food held the so-called second-generation braised food conference with great fanfare. Focus on low-fat health!

At this time, it is already the norm for many people to eat meat, and there is no shortage of oil and water in the stomach.

And the refreshing Qijia food, looking at it has an appetite, this is not counting, Qijia food also launched a vegetarian braised food series: thyme-lotus series. It is also welcomed by the majority of diners.

Qijia Food rushed into Wangfujing, the major grocery stores and department stores of the East and West Order! And the new generation of Qijia food has also become the favorite of rich people, why do you say so?

Because even in the nineties, not everyone had too much oil and water in their stomachs, and the price of the Qi family's food was much more expensive than the old Ding family!

The Qi family's food is so badly tossed, of course the Ding family can't just do it. The old man of the Ding family did something that made the whole city dumbfounded, he actually went to the headquarters of the Qi family food company to find the secret recipe for the second-generation marinade!
